Satellite P30 shuts down after some mins

I have a Satellite P30 which is several months old. already I have had to restore the system after a crash and now the laptop powers down after 10 or 15 mins use. It doesn't seem to get excessively hot. has anyone had a similar experince and how did you resolve it.
[Edited by: admin on 26-Nov-05 08:29]

I have the exact same problem, and i think it might be dust in the cooling system, but i cant find any dokumentation on how to open up the computer to clean it. So if someone know how to split an P30....

  • Satellite A10 shuts down after 40 mins

    A-10 Pro keeps shutting down after 40 mins, power source is always the AC lead, can anyone help?
    Has been checked for the following:-
    Viruses
    Power managment - on never shut down
    Cooling fan seems to be okay

    Hi guys
    The compressed air spray is a nice tool to clean the internal cooling ventilators!
    Usually the dust and debris prevent the fans from properly rotation and therefore the temperature increases and leads to the overheating issues
    Use simply such spray and you will solve this!

  • Satellite Pro U200 shuts down after 5 mins then starts after a while

    Satellite Pro U200 shuts down after 5 mins then starts after a while. When it shuts down the

    Hi
    Believe me; its not easy to say exactly why the BSOD appears.
    Generally it happens because of the serious software malfunction or hardware fault.
    Did you use the OS from the Toshiba image?
    There message says something about sysaudio.sys.
    This file is a system audio WDM filter process and its a part of Windows OS. It controls the hardware like printer or graphic card on a lower level.
    Note: The virus uses such files as a camouflage. You should use always a anti virus application.
    Furthermore you have suggested that the notebook shuts down after 5 min.
    Well, this sounds like a overheating issue. How did you use the notebook? You should know that the free space around the notebook is very important because of the air circulation. The ventilators should be also free.
    I you use the notebook in the right position and this will happen again so I would recommend asking the Toshiba service partner for the help. They should check the notebook.

  • Satellite A30-921 shuts down after 10 mins

    I own a Satellite A30-921 but it shuts down after 10 mins.
    I've tried to alter the toshiba power management settings but they wont work any ideas ?

    Does the notebook shut down automatically without showing any error messages?
    This could be caused by an overheating issue!
    How old is your notebook and did you clean the cooling ventilators in the past?
    If not I would recommend doing this.
    To clean the ventilators you could use the compressed air spray which can be purchased in most computer stores.
    The problem is that the dust and debris inside the notebook prevents the cooling modules from properly working and therefore the temperature increases to the higher level. This leads to the automatically shuts downs.
    In my opinion the fans cleaning could helps to solve this issue.
    Bye

  • Sat Pro A10 shuts down after 15 mins playing internet games

    hello
    when i play games from internet like zuma ,scherwoods my notebook sat pro A10 shut down after 15 min playing
    when i start up my notebook he make a disk reading
    what can i do what happens
    [email protected]

    Hi
    In my opinion the overheating is the problem. First you can try is to clean up the unit properly. I presume that CPU and graphic card runs very intensive and produce a lot of warmness. If the hardware can not be cooled properly the notebook shuts down suddenly.
    Clean it up.

  • Re: Satellite A105 shuts down after 60 seconds (NOT a thermal problem)

    Satellite A105-s4344 shuts down after EXACTLY 60 seconds. The mobo has been removed from bezels and all un-needed devices removed (DVD, HDD, WiFI etc.). Swapped CPU and RAM with known good ones. Swapped AC adapter and battery with known good. Does the same on AC or DC only inputs.
    I have not yet flashed the BIOS (with 60 seconds this would be foolish). But, I am looking into replacing or reflashing with an EEPROM burner. Currently has V 2.0
    I am not sure what genration heat detecting this system uses, but it is a possible cause if it is one of the later generations (visit http://www.topbits.com/how-to-monitor-cpu-temperature.html if you do not know that I am refering to).
    Prior to reballing the north and south bridge, and flashing I figured I would get some input from you folks. Just to cover all bases ;)
    P.S. the first person to ask what OS I am using will get an instant ticket to the bottom of my respect list.

    >P.S. the first person to ask what OS I am using will get an instant ticket to the bottom of my respect list.
    :) :) :) Best thing I saw in this forum.
    Back to your problem.
    I am not technician but here just my opinion about all this. The fact is that after switching your notebook ON CPU in just few seconds reaches very high temperature. You can switch your notebook ON and just enter BIOS settings and the same should happen again.
    I cannot say for sure if this is 100% thermal issue or not but what else can be responsible for switching off? CPU will be hot in few seconds only. Material change structure with temperature change and I can just imagine some contact will be interrupted.
    On this forum we had many similar reports like when cold notebook starts and runs well but after short time switches off for no reason. Maybe I am wrong but for me it sounds like thermal or bad contacts issue. Lets see what other people have to say about it.

  • When running on battery power, my MBP shuts down after 30 mins..please help

    this has been happening for the last two weeks; whenever i run my MBP on battery, it goes blank/shuts down after about 30 mins...would start back on, but shut down even before the login screen comes! i checked the battery display under the laptop-it showed 3 green lights!! TIA!! i bought my MBP off the apple website last september!

    With your symptoms, most likely, yes. If you have a 17" MBP, you are out of spec (based on Apple's specification of 80% health for 300 cycles). If you have a 15" MBP, you're in spec (84% health), but your symptoms indicate a problem (i.e. a defective battery). So, contact AppleCare!
    You can't calibrate now. I asked because if a battery goes too long (150-220 cycles) without calibration, the "sudden loss of power" can result.
    Hope this helps...
    Graham, that's why I inquired about calibration, but with the OP's cycle count, that's not the issue. Also, FYI the "battery condition" information is part of System Profiler with Leopard; the OP lists Tiger, and did post all the information available under Tiger.

  • My apple streamer keeps on shutting down after 20 mins iv changed the energy saver etc it still does it any help

    my apple streamer continues to shut off after 20 mins, Iv vhanged my energy saver and displays, any help

    Just to be clear;
    Does it only shut down after twenty minutes when your Apple TV is streaming from the computer, or does it shut down after twenty minutes under any circumstances.
    When you say shut down, do you mean the computer shuts down, goes to sleep or crashes.

  • Macbook Pro Shuts Down after 30 mins. When Watching a Movie through TV

    Why does my new Macbook Pro shutdown whenever we try to stream a DVD from the computer to our TV? Both products are new. I changed the energy settings and it still shuts down about a half hour into the DVD. It's so annoying! Please help.

    Mine goes off after a while of playing my iMac's music thru wi-fi onto the apple TV to have my music played on my Bose solo. A few weeks ago it happened also if I was playing my music from my iPad thru the apple TV. I've been doing this for years and it never happened before. Someone suggested a few weeks ago that possibly my Apple TV was connecting to my wi-fi in a faulty way. I have noticed that if I check my iMacs wi-fi settings and I remove wi-fi my apple devices have had connected to in the past are listed there. I have removed them manually and unchecked the "remember wi-fis  this computer has joined" box but they will reappear there a moment later. Is my apple TV effective? or my wi-fi's settings? Help please!

  • Satellite A100 shuts down after memory upgrade

    Consider me as 1 of the thickie bunch.. Not even sure wot im talkin bout but here goes n e way...........
    Have a Satellite A100 570 ( PSAA2E)..........
    Have tried several different online sites lookin for memory upgrade. Didn't have the witt to use toshiba site...... Ended up going with Crucial.........
    Ran diagnostic on laptop and was sent the module a needed.or so i thought....... wrong 1 or 1s as i bought 2 x 1G modules in order to " double up".....
    Got my money back as they were not compatable with my system.. something to do with density problems....
    Tried company called OFFTEK........ they seemed to know what they were talkin about....... I have from Offtek. at present a..........
    200 Pin 1.8v DDR2 PC2-4200 SoDimm....... but Toshiba have recommended below......
    1GB PC2-4300 DDR2 Memory (533MHz)
    Part Number: PA3411U-2M1G
    1024MB (1GB) Memory PC2-4300 DDR2 (533MHz)
    Theres an obvious difference ...... 4200 and 4300. But im not sure if its a significant difference........... or what it means
    Have updated bios to most recent version and basically updated everything toshiba had to offer for this model...........
    Ran EVEREST and it recognises the 1G module but when i take out the original 512mb module the laptop starts for about 3 seconds then shuts down...
    this repeats about 5 times then complete shutdown.....
    I dont like opening the back cover too often but this is the 3rd module ....
    Not sure whats meant to happen if the module is working...i.e start up message..not sure if windows recognises 1G module....
    Would it be safer bet to send Offtek module and stick with toshiba option.....
    Thanks in advance.....

    Cheers R2........ suppose at this stage i could start rhyming off a load of star wars lines but uve probably hears them all before.......
    N e way......... checked out the link u posted..........very useful......
    The module described is identical to what i have.............As with previous reply ( above ) im not sure what to do.........might take up Offteks offer of replacing the module but slightly concerned it might have same outcome......Still not happy bout opening the cover so much........nut needs must i suppose

  • IMac shuts down after removing Mini DisplayPort to SVGA

    Hi,
    The last couple of years I have worked with a 27 inch iMac in combination with a HP 27 inch monitor. This monitor is connected via a Mini Displayport to SVGA connector. Because I am going to use this external monitor anymore, I disconnected it today which made my iMac shut down imediately. Then it keeps rebooting and trying to start up but shuts down again. Over and over.
    The problem stops as soon as I connect the monitor again.
    Anybody have any thoughts?

  • G5 w/New VeloRaptor  and WD 1TB drives shut down after 5 min. of inactivity

    We partitioned the VelociRaptor and got it up and running yesterday. Loaded all the programs into it and installed a new WD terabyte scratch disk that holds documents. By yesterday afternoon the computer wowed up with its extremely fast performance.
    This morning I booted up all the computers in the office prior to staff arrival. The designer found her G5 with blank screens and fans racing. We (hard) shut it down waited a bit and it rebooted instantly after startup. She went to work and the computer operated perfectly. A phone call interrupted her work, and while she was talking the screens went black and the fans started racing.
    We (hard) shut down again, waited and started it. I reset the PRAM. Everything back to normal. Again during a period of inactivity the screens blackened and the fans raced.
    How do we reset the NRAM?

    I always run Disk Warrior after cloning a drive just to be sure, and repair permissions one last time. Even reinstall combo update, whatever last you use (10.4.11, 10.5.5, etc)
