Shutting Down about 1 min after boot

4 yr old, intel, Lion. Was in kernel panic. tried ctrl s and cmd opt p r. Now shuts down before login window. Tired pwr down/unplug for 1 hr- still shuts down before login. Help?

There are two or three different extensions which have been causing that "dead space" problem.

ThinkPad X100e Shuts down a few mins after startup.

I received a Lenovo ThinkPad X100e laptop from my friend to keep. He said everything works fine and that there aren't any issues. I actually have a major issue with it. Everything works fine except for the fact that when I try to install Windows 7 or just sit at the BIOS screen, it shuts down with the fan at full blast throughout the whole time. I can even feel that the system is warm from the underside, and I'm not sure what to do. I have tried running it from the AC adapter only, battery only (after charging it for a while) and battery and charger both attached. Everything except for the SSD is original because I used my own drive for safety reasons. It randomly shuts down at different intervals too. What I mean by that is if I leave it without doing anything at just the BIOS, it stays on for about 20 mins (or so) and if I try and install windows, it stays on for about the same time, If not a little shorter. Also, just to clarify, the fan spins freely and everything works fine, so I have no idea what to do. Help!
PS. This is the single core model.

Hello,
Perhaps the unit is overheating?
You can download the ThinkPad X100e Hardware Maintenance Manual and use that as a guide to disassemble the unit, thoroughly clean the inside out, including cleaning a re-applying thermal paste to the heat sink, and it should perform much better.

MacBook shuts down about one minute after startup chime

I have an older (2007?) Macbook, and I think it is running OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.3). I can't verify this because it won't boot up. It does the same thing whether on battery or ac power: startup chime, grey screen with apple logo, twirling spokes, and grey bar filling in. Then, exactly one minute and 38 seconds after the chime, it goes black (keyboard and everything).
I have tried unplugging and waiting, starting with and without the battery, resetting PRAM (tried that a bunch of times), and starting in safe mode with shift (doing that caused it to shut down in 1:08).
I have two disks that came with the MacBook: OS X Install Disc 1 and Disc 2 (2007; v10.5), plus one disk Mac OS X Snow Leopard Install DVD. If I should try rebooting or reinstalling, which disk(s) should I use?
Or is there another trick to try?
Thanks!

Try this support article > Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup
Boot from the Snow Leopard disc following the instructions from that article.
While you have Disk Utilty open, check the S.M.A.R.T. status at the bottom of that window.
Hopefully it says: Verified

My imac shuts down a few mins after it boots into tiger

I ran a program that frees up hard driv3e space by deleting all the unused language files from the operating system. I was disappointed when it only cleared up 104mb of space. Seconds later my imac just turned off. Now when I boot it up, it works fine for 2-3 mins and then turns off instantly.
Is there a way to reinstall the operating system over the one I have now. My hard drive is loaded with data I need to keep and my 2 external hard drives are filled to the max.

I forgot to say I want to reinstall tiger without losing any data stored in random places on my hard drive.

My screen is really faded, after it shut down (overheated I think) after being on for about an hour.

My screen is really faded, after it shut down (overheated I think) after being on for about an hour. Its kind of like how you see the world, when you get out of a pool that has too much chlorine.
I have tried shutting down, and re-starting. I have re-calibrated.
I have tried changing brightness.
Nothing works so far.
HELP

Wait a few hours before restarting it, also post actual temps. You can download iStatPro for free, once you have restarted, download it and post the actual temps.
Also try resettng the PRAM and SMC, do each multiple times. If you don't know how please click Intel iMac SMC and PRAM resets

IMac shuts down on 1/3 of boot sequence

Hello,
My 20 inch 2007 iMac suddenly started shutting down on 1/3 of boot sequence. This happened after the mac just shut down while i was working on it, since this happened the mac will not boot. The Apple logo appears, the loading bar appears, it gets to 1/3 off the bar, then it disappears, and the mac shuts down. I already used the disk utility to check the disk, there seems to be no problem. Also, i already re-installed MacOS, this did not have any effect as well.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Mac info:
iMac 7,1 20 inch
Processor: Intel core 2 duo, 2.4 ghz

HT1199 my computer displays grey screen and apple logo for 10 minutes or more during start up and shut down. sometimes it refuses to shut down . this issues started after installing OS lion. what do i do?

I don't think it's exactly an incomplete installation brody, but most likely in-correct permissions somewhere along the line that either happened, or became magnified during the upgrade. Also, it could be corruption as well.
First thing to do, is boot up holding down Shift key to do a safe-boot so we an clean up any corrupted OS caches, after that do another reboot, but go to the Lion recovery, and scan the HD for errors, repair any if you find them, and then try to do a Repair Permissions job.
That should fix the issue, if not, we can start doing a PRAM reset and SMC for good measure.

my downloaded apps are not opening, they flash and then shut down. This hapened after i upgraded to the 5.0. How do i fix it!? I've tried everything

You need to resync you applications or redownload them for free via app store. They may be read by your phone, but they are really not there. Re downloading will fix this.

EMac Pinwheels about 2 mins after coming out of sleep

Computer Pinwheels about 2 mins after coming out of sleep and will not recover. Have to turn it off and back on. eMac 1GHz 3rd gen 1.5GB RAM

Hi Leo,
Open console in Applications>Utilities, check the system log for the date/time of the last sleep/wake problem & the Startup right after that for clues.

My 822 now says, "ERROR: Unable to find bootable option. Press any key to shut down." Just happened after my phone froze. Everything I've searched says to replace the phone. I have no phone in or out, no alarm....what is going on with this? I see others

My 822 now says, "ERROR: Unable to find bootable option. Press any key to shut down." Just happened after my phone froze. Everything I've searched says to replace the phone. I have no phone in or out, no alarm....what is going on with this? I see others have the same problem.

Just got the same error message today. My phone went to the black screen of death with the error message at the top. Contacted Verizon via chat. Was online for 1 hour and 15 minutes only to find out that nothing could be done which I could have told them based upon what I had read on this site. Of course my phone is out of warranty since I have had it for 1 1/2 years and I am not eligible for an upgrade. How convenient! I was told to contact Nokia which I did and they gave me a download to try to reset everything. It looked like it was working but after almost 3 hours it got to the end and nothing happened. It just froze even though it said it was done. I rebooted the phone and am back at the same black screen of death. Guess I have to buy a used phone and then will have to reconsider whether or not to stay with Verizon going forward. I have not had any issues with the phone in the past - keep it in an otter box, never dropped, never got wet, etc. But all of a sudden it goes haywire like this that seems like either a hardware or software problem but something completely out of my control and all I get is sorry, you're out of warranty!

Since I installed Mountain Lion, my iMac has shut down after 15-20 minutes. I have adjusted screen saver, shut down time, and sleep after. Nothing seems to help, any ideas?

As old as your iMac is, have you cleaned out the dust? Dust buildup can lead to over heating issues. Remove any and all things plugged into it including the power cord, Remove the RAM access grille. Vacuum all openings starting with the RAM access area (air intake). Vacuum all ports and plugs, DVD slot and the opening across the top of the rear of the body. Blow compressed air through all your openings and vacuum again to remove any dust you loosend. Reinstall the RAM grille. Plug in the keyboard and mouse if not blue tooth. Insert power cord...
You are now in a perfect position to do a
SMC RESET
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
It is the 5 second timing that initiates the reset.

IPad mini shut down and not responding after upgrade to iOS7

Hi I bought an iPad mini in France and used it in Indonesia where iPad mini is still not authorized (only previous versions of iPad). I connected to wi-fi there to upgrade to iOS7 and since then the mini iPad is shut down. Cannot turn it on anymore... Apple stores in Indonesia cannot do anything as iPad mini are not sold and authorize yet in the country.
What should I do??
Thanks for the help,

MacBook shuts down for no reason after install of 10.6

I have a black MacBook 2.1 with
2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and
2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.
I got it from my mom after she poured a glass of water over it and it wouldn't start again and she bought herself a MacBook pro. A friend of hers dried it however and now only the part where it connects to the battery is broken but if you use it with the powercord it still works fine, so she gave it to me. I installed 10.4 again (which came with it) and had no problems with it (as long as noone messed with the powercord). After I realized however that all the software that is out now only works for 10.5 and up (thanks apple for not even providing the old iTunes version somewhere...), I figured it would be great to install SL (which I was told would work not optimally but fine on this version of MacBooks). Over ebay I ordered a new installation dvd with 10.6 but after backuping my stuff on an external harddrive and starting the installation, the trouble began:
I had to do the installation about 10 times until it finally completed. During the installation process, it was like someone pulled the powercord (remember, no battery) and it completely shut down. I figured it might just be the installation process that was kinda hard on it but now that I have it working, it does the same thing! After around 20min or so, it just completely shuts down....
Anyone got an idea why this could be happening?
I tryed booting from my backup, but even though 10.4.11 started successfully, after like 7 min the same thing happened. I'm completely clueless, I mean it work fine all the time under 10.4 and now since the installation I have these strange problems...
I would love to just have this **** snow leopard running....
Thanks for any suggestions! =)

Thanks for you answer =)
unfortunately I couldn't open your picture for some reason (403), but its the single disk with just 10.6 on it in a small white package. Seems to be rather old, at least it says 2009 on it.
UPDATE:
I did some further checks on it, a friend suggested the symptoms might fit an increased temperature, so I installed Fan Control, which pretty much told me my right fan is broken (for the left one I got a reasonable value concerning rpm but for the right one it just said -1 ...but does the macbook even have 2 fans?) well, anyways, I installed iStats pro in addition and checked all the temperatures and this doesen't seem to be it (it shut down after exactly 40min with all temps being <= 50°C). The next time I turned it on and started with the systemupgrade, it only stayed on for 30min though.
After I completed the upgrade to 10.6.6 I wanted to test for other hardware failures so I've installed prime95, but 2 self-tests went through without detecting any errors or even bringing up warnings, so it doesen't seem to be the ram either.
Now my current uptime is 1:30h, so maybe 10.6.6 for some reason solved the problem?
What I'm still having troubles with however (probably a detail I should have mentioned before...) is the monitor of the MacBook: it sometimes turns completely black, which doesn't affect my external monitor however. This happend during the installation as well (the one time where it didn't completely shut down which enabled my to finish the installation). The screen is completely dark but if you look closely you can still see some shadow of windows and buttons. When I ran the prime95 test this happend as well and after I sent the computer to sleep (close laptop lid) when I turned it back on it didn't light up again either. I didn't really have this problem under 10.4 but it happend to me twice but I think that was related to someone slightly hitting the powercord - at least that was my explanation at the time. Might the problem be caused somewhere there? I've read in other forums that sleep seemed to be a more frequent problem for MacBooks with SL.
Are there any more tests I could run in order to find out something for sure or are there some logfiles where the reason might be documented?
Well, my MacBook screen is "off" for now and I'll just keep it running now, maybe I'm lucky and it'll stay on... I would still really like to know if there is some causal relation between the MacBook screen and its turning off completely...I wouldn't really mind just keeping its screen turned off if that solves the problem for sure since I'm basically just using it as a desktop pc anyways but it was nice having a second display.
Thanks [=
