Satellite P300 freezing after more than 20 minutes

Hi
Hope someone can help.
My P300 satellite laptop freezes when left on for more than 20 minutes.
This has been a problem since buying the laptop 8 months ago.
I have windows vista installed.
When this happens I have to hold down the on button untill the computer restarts, it gives me the option of starting in safe mode.
This can't be good for the laptop?
Is there a way to fix this, as I have to turn the laptop off when ever I leave it.
Cheers

Hi
Its not easy to say what the reason is for this because it can be caused from different things
Maybe your notebook is overheating. Can you hear the fan or does it get very hot? Maybe you should try to clean it using compressed air spray. This could blow out the dust from the cooling ventilators.
You said you have installed Windows Vista on your notebook. Do you mean the factory settings or have you installed your own Windows version?
It could be also a problem of the RAM. You can check this with Memtest86. This is a diagnostic program for the RAM. You can download it on [www.memtest86.com]. Its freeware and easy to use (just burn a bootable CD with the image and boot from it).
Good luck and post your results after this.

When listening to an audio book it freezes after about 10 minutes. I have done a soft reset, I have deleted the audio book and re- installed. My music plays with no problem.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

After more than a year of success, email will not sync

After more than a year of successfull syncs with iTunes, my iPhone GS will not sync with my Outlook Calendar. I get the message, "Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging requrest. Pleae run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail client."
The problem with complying with that message is that I DO NOT use Outlook as my default mail client on my PC. I DO use Outlook for my Calendar on the PC and have, in the past, been able to sync with the iPhone calendar.
On the iPhone, I can receive my email from GMail and another provider without problem. On my PC, I use Forte Agent as my email program.
I know of nothing that I have done to change settings an any program that would affect the ability to sync my calendar with outlook but NO NEW calendar entries are reaching my iPhone now. All other portions of the sync appear normal.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Subject correction. It should read: After more than a year of success, Outlook Calendar will not sync.
It appears that there are a VERY large amount of problems with the calendar not performing sync correctly. Any answers...?

I'll try to grow the undo tbs space but i stay convinced that the problem is in the query.You can be convinced & wrong at the same time.
row by row INSERT is slow by slow.
It can be done as single INSERT; but that won't change the amount of UNDO that is required.

Photoshop freezes after 2-5 minutes of startup

My photoshop CS6 is freezing after 2-5 minutes of starting it up. I have recently installed this to my computer earlier this week and it has been working fine up until this afternoon. I had no problems with it this morning. I am using a PC running windows 8.1. There seems to be no link between a particular process and the freezing, it appears to be random.@

Hi Andrew
Sometimes 3rd party add-ons create the spinning wheel. Curious which version of Adobe Flash you are using? Go to your Finder: HD>Library>Internet Plug-ins. Click on Flash Player.plugin, then Command/I keys. In the info panel, which version is listed?
Also, do you have any other 3rd party items installed in Safari?

Freezing after a few minutes of screen sharing?

Hello, when setting up a screen sharing session on mountain lion with a lion laptop (the ml is being controlled by the lion laptop), the 10.8 laptop freezes after a few minutes of the session. The mouse cursor still works locally, however no clicking or keyboard input is accepted. The remote controller also loses the connection, and a hard reboot is the only thing to bring the computer back.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dan

Yes, that is exactly what I am experiencing.
I followed instructions and found that computer was set to log out after 120 minutes. I don't know if that is the default setting or not, but I know I never set it that way myself, didn't even know the option was there.
I have always had the computer set to start screensaver after 15 minutes, display sleep after 30 minutes, and computer sleep after 1 hour. The computer never logged me out with those settings until a couple of days ago when this problem started. I had changed computer sleep to never so I could see if remote desktop on my ipad would be able to connect to the imac, and that is when the problem started.
I am trying setting screensaver to 10 minutes, display sleep to 15 minutes, and computer sleep to never, and see if that solves the problem. I also unchecked the box to log out after 120 minutes.
Thanks for your help, I appreciate it.

My imac 17' core duo 1.8ghz a1173 freezes after about 1 minute of running

My imac 17" core duo 1.8ghz A1173 freezes after about 1 minute of running. I re-start the imac about a half a dozen times and it stays running and will re-start from the sleep mode and will continue to operate properly until I put it in sleep mode or it goes to sleep mode. If I turn it off, I must go through the same hassle. Advise/suggestions. Thanks.

Arch freezes after about 10 minutes with new kernel [SOLVED]

As the title says: Arch freezes after about 10 minutes with new kernel (2.6.27). I can only move a mouse, but everything else is frozen. Even restarting X doesn't do a trick. It doesn't work at all. Frozen.
I don't get any kind of error message (oh really?), so what's the problem..?

Yeah... I'm using nvidia... So the problem is nvidia drivers, not the Linux kernel?
Edit: My card is nVidia GeForce 8800 Ultra. I can't get driver information now, because I'm using WinXP right now. I'll check it later.
Did you make a new install or just updated?
You can try to reinstall old kernel with:
pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/kernel(version you want).pkg.tar.gz
if you made a new install you may have to install the xorg keyboard driver and so.
By the way, there are a few diferent packages for nvidia drivers. Check wich is yours.
Also check /var/log/ folder for errors.
Updated kernel.
And as I said, I'll check the driver later.

The symptoms you describe with and ALS model are indicative of a power supply failure, and not an issue with electrolytic capacitors on the logic board.
I was speaking about the components in the power supply, although the Logic Board components are also in visually good condition.
My concern is; replacing the PS may place greater pressure on the components of the Logic Board, which are obviously of the same age. Precipitating a similar failure in the LB at an early stage...
£100 for a power supply is one thing, then the probability of £200+ for a LB replacement is quite another. £300+ is not a viable repair for a 5 year old iMac in my opinion.
A dealer or service provider can replace the power supply, which should completely address your issue EXCEPT to the extent that repeated, abnormal shutdowns have damaged your drive directory. Using Disk Utility as a first pass may address any such concerns. More extensive directory damage will require a utility like Disk Warrior.
Quite capable of replacing PS my self, not too worried about the warranty aspect now!
Agreed, repeated shut downs may have messed the directory. The contents have been duplicated throughout the life of the machine, so backup is not an issue, a reformat and zero of the drive would be a natural progression from replacing the PS, if we go that route.
The part required for replacement in an iMac 17 inch (ALS) model is the 661-3627. In the 20 inch (ALS) model, it is a 661-3625.
Thank you for your observations and help, also for the confirmation of the part #. There are some new on UK eBay right now @ £80 - £100.

Macbook freezing when more than one program runs

Hello all,
My Macbook is about a year and a half old. A few weeks ago, it crashed catastrophically, and the geniuses at my local store replaced the logic board.
Since getting it back, it's been crashing almost every time I try to run more than one program, such as itunes and safari. Ichat video or photobooth on their own cause it to freeze. The freezing process is gradual; first the program I'm looking at freezes, but I can navigate to other programs, but within a few minutes those freeze as well. During the freeze, the cursor moves (in beachball shape) but the screen is unresponsive and apple-option-escape has no effect; the only solution is to manually turn it off. It's also taking longer and longer to boot up. This happens when it's plugged in as well as on battery power. It's gotten to the point that I'm scared to do work on it, because I can't trust it to work long enough to save my data. What happened? Is this the result of my "fixed" logic board or something else? I am getting SO FRUSTRATED by how unreliable my macbook has become!!
