T410 laptop turns off abruptly when running any application

Hi,
T410 laptop turns off abruptly when running any application. I contacted the technical support, first they suggested me to run some diagnostics for hard disk which failed and so they sent me a new hard disk. Even then I faced the same problem. Again I contacted them and they told that they will change the system board. Today I received the laptop with new system board/updated BIOS.
But still I am facing the same problem. I called the technical support again, they told me to use the latop in two modes ( 1. only battery and 2. only ac adapter) and check whether its happening again or ont. In both the cases I am seeing the same problem.  
Laptop is only 5 months old and bought for  $1400........ 
SOmebody help me........

Hi and welcome to the forum!
Tell us something more about your system, like installed memory size, processor speed, graphics card make and size, HDD size and so forth. Because yours is CTO model hence it's not possible to figure out these things without your telling us about them.
I'm not very expert but I would say it's probably the RAM since system board and HDD have already been replaced or possibly you have got a lemon. But try following suggestions first.
Do you get any sort of error message or Bluescreen? does Event Viewer report something unusual? Event Viewer can be opened by typing it's name in the search field in Windows 7. If you get Bluecreen you can view it via this program:- http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html and let us know what it says.
Also, make a bootable CD of mem86 and run the test on your RAM, mem86 can be downloaded free from:- http://www.memtest86.com/
Lastly, you can burn LiveCD of any Linux distro and boot from it, if applications work fine in Linux environment then probably it's some software problem your thinkpad is having, re-imaging the system to factory state would be great initiative in that case.
Keep us posted!

  • Laptop turns off randomly when not plugged into charger

    I have a 2013 Macbook Air and a few weeks ago, it started turning off randomly after a few minutes of use. It only works without turning off when it's plugged into the power.
    I tried resetting the SMC various times, and the battery software update was not applicable to my device.
    I'm not sure if it's a dead battery or not, because the device still charges.
    I work for a magazine, and kinda need my laptop so any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you

    Hey bbkae
    Continue you troubleshooting with the article below to check the health of your battery. I would try to run hardware diagnostics on it to see if it passes the test.

  • Toshiba laptop turns off randomly when moved

    Hi,
    I have a Toshiba Satelite C655 that randomly turns off when moved. In fact, it will not boot back up unless I remove the battery entirely, hold down the power button for 20 seconds, then put the battery back in. Then it boots up fine.
    Like I said, it randomly happens when it's bumped or moved.
    Any ideas what this could be? We took everything except the processor out and put it back in to ensure nothing was loose.
    This laptop has been very rarely used and is in mint condition besides this one flaw.

    I hate random problems. They are the hardest to diagnose and take the longest time to figure out. I agree, it sounds like a loose or intermittent connection. But if you have gone in and reseated all of the connections and made sure that the cables are in straight, etc, it could be a defective connector, cable or component. Again, going to take time and effort to figure out which part or piece when moved or bumped is at fault. Either put in the time and effort to figure it out or consider turning this computer into a 'desktop', where it won't be moved or bumped. Same location always with an external monitor, keyboard and mouse.

  • On my 4 yer old imac when I run aps/programs or on the net with my Itunes runnig everything runs super slow, turn off itunes all runs fast again, any ideas

    On my 4 year old imac, when I run aps/programs or on the web "with my Itunes runnig" everything runs super slow, when I turn off itunes all runs fast again.  Note I have upated all software.  Any ideas out their.  Thanks William

    2gb of RAM is not a lot for keeping too many apps and the OS running comfortably. Have you tried running with as few apps open as possible at any one time - preferably just the one you are currently using, to see if this improves performance?
    Also, you could launch Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder and it'll give you an idea of what is going on memory-wise.

  • How to turn off alarms when iCal is not running

    iCal-Version 4.0.4 (1395)
    Imagine giving a lecture supported by powerpoint in front of an audience, all applications turned off except of powerpoint, and suddenly popping up the iCal alarm message "meet her (xy) in the pub". How can I turn off alarms when iCal is NOT running?
    cheers
    knatterton

    Hey!  I was DJ'ing and an iCal alarm went off even though I'd selected to have alarms not go off when iCal is not running.  Now that option isn't there anymore!  Can I revert to the previous version of iCal?  I don;t see any other new features that are worth not having interruptions during DJ'ing and presentations!  I know that if I turn off all alarms, I will forget.  I'd create an alarm to remind me to turn it back on, but...  This is REALLY annoying.

  • Turn off alarms when Ical not running! Bring it back

    It seems that the option to turn off alarms when Ical not running has been removed. The only option now is to simply turn alarms off (then you forget to turn it back on!). i am a professional speaker and when an alarm rings when I'm using Keynote it knocks keynote off the screen. That is a real pain when you are speaking to 1000 people! Anyone got any ideas. And Apple, please bring it back.

    I sure hope the developers at Apple as well as the management team who can make product impacting decisions are reading this thread - do they realize that this makes the *alarm function unusable by professionals* who do presentations? I was in front of a small group doing a powerpoint tonight and the alarm went off in the middle of it - not a good thing.
    So, I will choose to turn them off completely at this point - it is the only option. And I am not going to manually turn them on and off - that's a ridiculous prospect.
    I can only guess at the reason for removing the earlier functionality of turning off the alarms when the application was closed, but this is absolutely a requirement if alarms are to be functional at all for those of us who do presentations.

  • My iPhone 4 turns off (crashes) after accesing any apps, It work fine when plugged to charger. I tried all troubleshooting steps suggested by Apple but it doesn't work. What could be the problem and what are the solutions?

    My iPhone 4 turns off (crashes) after accesing any apps, It work fine when plugged to charger (power supply). I tried all troubleshooting steps suggested by Apple but it doesn't work. I backed up my phone. I restored it several times. Even I re-installed iphone software. Also I restored it as a new iphone but doesn't work. What could be the problem and what are the availble solutions?

    We can't know if there's a "fixture" because we can't examine your phone.  But Apple can.  Make a Genius Bar appointment and get your phone evaluated.

    my 3g fell in toilet thursday, dried out and worked yesterday, now its stuck on a screen that says emergency call. wont connect to itunes, doesnt change when turned off or plugged in, any ideas

    If you are eligible for a discounted upgrade through your carrier, this would be a great time to consider it. The phone is most probably permanently damaged.

  • Laptop powers off abruptly!

    Its been 8 months since I'm running Solaris (Nevada build 70b) without any issues on my laptop (Toshiba Tecra). However, since past 3 days, I'm running into a strange problem. The laptop powers off abruptly!
    The battery is fully charged, there is enough memory (2Gig), it happens even when its idle and its totally unpredictable. First day, it powered off 3-4 times, yesterday it happened only once.
    At first, I suspected that it might be a hardware problem. I booted into Windows and kept the laptop running for a whole day, nothing happened.
    Any ideas on what to do?
    Thanks,
    -Yamini

  • Laptop turns off unexpectedly

    Hello!
    I have an HP Pavilion m6-1045 dx and my laptop turns off at random times when in use. Sometimes it will shut down completely or the monitor will just turn off but the computer will continue to run. Other times, as I am typing, the monitor will start to blink on and off as if about the shut down completey.  I don't dare adjust my monitor when in use for it will turn off the screen or even shut down. This will happen whether my laptop is charging or running on battery power alone.
    I have had my laptop for about 1 year and 4 months now (bought July 2012) and this is a reoccuring issue which started around late 2012/early 2013.  I have a two year plan under Geek Squad support and have taken my laptop to them several times. The first time, they believed it to be a virus issue and cleared it. The second time, I spoke to an online representative but she couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. The third time, I went in person and they replaced the fan.
    After about a month, the same issue started occuring again and now it is becoming a continual problem. I may be wrong, but I do not believe it is an over heating issue because on multiple occasions I will turn on my computer only for it to shut down almost immediately afterwards, taking about 15-20 minutes to turn back on again. The fan inside is running. I have tried clearing it of dust and used another fan to keep it cool but this problem continues to occur.
    My warranty with HP has expired and I still have Geek Squad support for another 8 months but I would like to limit the amount of times I have to take my laptop in for repairs. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thank you,
    Ariel

    Ok I think I finally figured it out by changing the power options and I think the way you told me to reset the battery also helped. here are the settings: reserve battery level (this is when the popup will come up.)10% low battery level (this is when the low battery action will be performed.)8% critical battery level (my comp would die at this point.)7%  low battery action: sleep, sleep (customize this to your liking.) low battery notification: on,on (keep this on.) critical battery action: sleep, sleep (my comp would die already at critical.)  

  • Laptop turns off intermittently

    Hi frnds,
    I am having Lenovo G550 with  following config:
    Intel C2D T6600
    3 GB DDR3
    Nvidia Geforce 512MB GPU
    320 GB HDD
    Win 7 Home Premium
    My laptop turns off after 20-30min of usage. I am not playing any hardcore games on it. Now I am using my laptop only for browsing and official work . There is no overheating. The heat sink and fan is also free of dust and lint.
    I went to the Lenovo Service Centre located at BTM Layout, Banglore. The guy told me there is no problem with the hardware. Its a OS issue. So, he advised me to format it to factory default settings (my laptop came pre-installed with Win 7 Home Premium). I tried that too. But after 15min of successful recovery, it again turned off during third party appliation installation.
    Now, I don't know what to do. My ,machine is 3 yrs old and right now I am not in mood to buy a new laptop (atleat for a year).

    Hi deepankar143,
    Welcome to the Lenovo Community Forums.
    Normally, computers will shut down and stay shut down to protect any overheating damage to the processor.   Although you did mention that there is no overheating and that the heat sink and fan is also dust and lint free, we may want to isolate the overheating problem by installing a 3rd party application that will provide you with the system's CPU temperature.
    Try installing the program, Core Temp to monitor if the CPU temperature exceeds more than 90 degrees.  This is when the system normally shuts down to protect from further damaging the processor.  If the temperature exceeds more than 90 degrees, and since you mentioned that the heatsink and fan is dust and lint free then this could be due to dried out thermal paste.
    The second possible hardware problem that maybe causing the laptop from shutting down could be a problem with the HDD.  Try running HD Tune to check if there could be any problem with the HDD of the computer. 
    Hope this isolates the problem. Let me know what happens.

  • IPod turns off abruptly

    Recently, I've been having a problem with my iPod, a 2-year-old 20GB. It's worked quite well for the past year, but all of a sudden, lately, after about an hour of use, with a full battery, it turns off abruptly. When I turn it back on, automatically the battery is on empty. I don't get any sort of error icon or sad face or anything. Or even the battery/exclamation point icon. It's just off. I can turn it back on but it only lasts for a couple seconds. And yes, this happens when the lock is on too.
      Mac OS X (10.3.1)  

    It may be that the battery needs replacing. You shouldn't rely on the battery meter, it's well known for being inaccurate.
    Try this test, and if it's a poor performance, get the battery replaced (especially if it's still under warranty).
