TAM with OS 7.6.1 shutting down after about 2 hours

System: 20th Anniversary Mac running OS 7.6.1
I recently got our TAM back up and running. It had been shutting down on its own, not staying booted up. We thought this was a problem with the system battery, so I replaced it. However, we are still having the same problem.
I am about to do a clean re-install of the system software. Is there a chance this could be hardware related? Like the power supply or something?

Well, i turned off all the energy saving stuff. Surprisingly, the computer has been running since 8am this morning (4pm now) without a problem. I have it set to turn on and off automatically during the week, and not at all over the weekend.
We do have a screen saver running, and haven't even touched the computer today, other than moving the mouse to make sure it isn't locked up.
The only change I made to it before shutting it down for the weekend was enabling the QuickTime extensions.

    Al that is left are the standard fixes:
    - Reset the dock
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Mac book pro mid 2009 shuts down after a few hour then will only boot after waiting and pressing power button numerous times. I am running mountain lion with most recent updates.

    Mac book pro mid 2009 shuts down after a few hour of use and then is very difficult to reboot. Sometimes I have to wait hours, sometimes I have to repeatedly press the power button and then it will slowly start a little longer each press untill it completely boots. It has done this three times know.  Each time I was watching a video.

    Try running the Apple Hardware Test - sounds as if you've hardware issues.

  • Lenovo 3000 N100 laptop shuts down after about 1 minute

    Despite being plugged into AC power, my Lenovo 3000 N100 shuts down after about one minute. It boots properly but suddenly shuts down. I have not used this laptop much since purchasing it in 2006 and have seldom used it on battery power alone. Any suggestions before I buy a new battery? Maybe I am mistaken, but shouldn't the computer work on AC despite a depleted battery?

    Hi Charleydog and welcome to the community,
    Take the battery out  and unplug the ac.  Hold the power button down for about 15 seconds.  Do it twice.  Then plug only the ac in and see if it fires up.

  • My computer shuts down after about two minutes of use or at startup. What is the problem?

    My computer shuts down after about two minutes of use or at startup. What is the problem?
    Yesterday I used it for about ten minutes.
    Yesterday was the first time using it after about 5 days.

    Could you tell me how to check my system log, and how to tell if it is the disk cache? I am pretty sure it is not the GPU as I was having the problem using a Quadro 4000 as well.
    Thanks!

  • My brand new 6th gen ipod nano keeps shutting down after about 30 seconds?

    My new 6th generation ipod nano keeps shutting down after 30 seconds. It has been registered with itunes and has about 200+ songs on it. I have not tried to reset it because i was not sure what this would do. Please help!

    This is usually a sign that your headphones are not plugged all the way in.  Make sure you cannot see any silver still showing from the headphone's plug.  It may require a little extra force to get the headphones to become fully inserted.  You should hear a sort of clicking noise indicating that they have been fully seated.
    Also check the headphone port from a damage or debris.

  • What's wrong with my macbook? It shuts down after 1 minute!

    Last night I updated my macbook with something, didn't see what it was, but it required a restart, so I did that. After that, when I was using my macbook it froze all the time, so I tried restarting it a couple of times, but the freezing kept getting worse. I couldn't use it because it froze even before I could click on anything. Then I tried rebooting it in safe mode, but it took ages (I know it is supposed to) so I shut it off before it was finished. Now I can't start my macbook!! I can turn it on and the sound and the apple logo is there, but after 1 minute it shuts down. I don't know what to do! I don't have a backup harddisk (I know it's stupid) and I have some really important stuff on there, so I really don't want to loose everything. Is there some way I can save everything?? Please help, I'm lost!  The macbook is 4 years old, it's a White one.

    If Disk Utility isn't able to repair your drive it may be a lost cause. You can try a more robust repair tool, I'd recommend DiskWarrior http://www.alsoft.com/diskwarrior/ If that won't do it I'd say you've just learned about backups the hard way. Since you can boot into the recovery partition your hard drive isn't dead but your boot partition has become corrupt.

  • Computer locks up -have to do hard shut down- after about two times its ok

    Seems like the computer locks up on battery or AC. When I shut down with the power button two or three times things seem to work ok for a while. I bought this about two weeks ago and the seller stated that g4's have a problem with processor location that can make computer act up. could this be the problem.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    When you say the computer locks up, do you mean it freezes and you have to force shut it down? This is not considered normal behavior. It could indicate logic board problems. What the seller told you sounds like BS to me. You might want to consider returning this one and looking for a different one. Even if the problem is intermittent now, it likely will get worse over time. And could be expensive to fix.
    Good luck!

  • My email opens without words then shuts down after about ten seconds.  I've tried closing it, tried restarting iPad and resetting the iPad, all to no avail.

    For the last three days, when I press my mail icon, it loads the blank template then closes after about ten seconds. I've tried to close and reopen it, have shut down and restarted the iPad and have reset it, but nothing has worked. I tried to use the Apple online support but was told I would have to pay £25!  The iPad has not been the same since we upgraded the software as it is much slower, but the emails have not been a problem until now.

  • HT6114 Since I upgraded to Mavericks my system randomly shuts down after about 10 minutes

    I upgraded to Mavericks a couple of days ago and now after about 10 to 15 minutes my entire system shuts down and restarts.  I am very frustrated and hope that someone will be able to advise me how to fix this

    Restart - computer spontaneously restarts
    If nothing in that article helps, the next time the problem happens, note the date and time the problem occurred, then go to Applications/Utilities/Console and copy the log starting at the time of the crash. Paste the log in a reply. Please do not use a screen shot as they can be hard to read. If there are repeated runs of the same messages, please post only one run.

  • Macbook turns on to gray startup screen but will not load and shuts down after about 45sec -1 min

    Hi There,
    My Macbook pro has been experiencing some craziness the last couple of days.
    Yesterday it was sort of slow and I was experiencing the rainbow spinning wheel between all applications.
    The battery was very low so I charged it and attempted to turn it on today.
    Now, when I turn it on I am experiencing the gray startup screen with the spinning geat and what sounds like
    the CD drive going ( I believe I have a disk in there). After less than 45 sec to 1 minute the machine just shuts off.
    I have tried the safety start and a few other startup methods, but always the same result.
    Any ideas or should I go strait to Apple hospital?
    Thanks-

    Did you find any help to this? I have the same problem!
