Tecra T9000 System hangs frequently

Hello,
My system hangs very frequently. When i'm using a scan-engine for example:Mc Afee, Norton, Hitman Pro or when i'm using my laptop for a long time. Especially when i set the CPU in dynamic or high-mode!
I upgraded the bios for this reason to 1.5 but that didn't help. Also i cleaned the fan-area because i thought it had to be the temperature. The Fan runs normal and when i use the best performancesetting it runs fast. When i put the CPU-speed (in the bios) to low i have no problems. What can i do to use the high performance and the system will keep running?
Thanks already

Hallo there,
I`m sorry, that I dont have a solution for your Problem, but I do have a similar problem.
The first time I noticed a problem with my T9000, showed up on Battery mode. Bios setting: cpu sleep mode: on, and dynamic cpu feq. and the automatic mode of the powermanagement intel speedstep (set to dynamic cpu freq.) caused an I/O error outside windows and a bluescreen when a boot was succesfull.
I worked around that problem by uninstalling intel speedstep (and the whole toshiba powermanagement) and by turning off the bios setting cpu sleepmode and set the cpu to full speed or low speed (I set that everytime to slow when in Battery mode and high when working with AC adapter).
Another thing that i noticed was a bit strange and quite noise, every time windows was idle. didn`t notice that sound before.
and the latest thing then was that my t9000 hungs unfrequently. The interessting thing is (sounds funny) to go on i had to press down with my finger on a place beside the accu point mouse. release the finger, it hungs, press again windows runs or while in boot sequence it boots further on.
This issue is very frustrating. I tested all other devices (RAM, HDD, wireless card and modem) with no error, so the error have to be on cpu or mainboard.

Node-webkit Helper causing system hangs

I'm using the intel XDK developer tool and having frequent system hangs when node-webkit Helper is accessed. The CPU use in monitor is ofter in excess of 100%. I've seen other people having problems with node-webkit Helper on OSX with different apps. Does anyone know of a solution for this?

There are two fairly common reasons why an update doesn't work properly:
1. Use of a Delta updater instead of the Combo Updater. The latter seems to cause fewer problems or, rather, may "fix" some problems that the Delta updater misses.
2. The user needed to repair the hard drive and permissions prior to installing the update. This is the most common problem. Installing an update on a system that is corrupted or where permissions are invalid will usually cause the resulting updated system to malfunction.
In some cases there are actual system files that have become corrupted and cause an update to malfunction. If this be the case usually it's necessary to do an Archive and Install to replace the old system (hard drive should be repaired prior to doing the Archive and Install.)
Among troubleshooting efforts to try are: (1) boot into safe mode to see if the problem is solved. Safe mode disables third-party startupitems, contextualmenuitems, and extensions; (2) create a new user account and log into the new account; A new user account has no login items or old preference files. If these are corrupted the system will work properly in the new account; (3) Use a utility such as TinkerTool System to clear user cache files, font files, and log files. If these become corrupted they will cause the system to malfunction.
Install the freeware utility AppleJack (www.versiontracker.com) on each of your Macs. In the event of severe problems you can boot the computer into single-user mode and run AppleJack to fix many items that cause problems. AppleJack is only run from the commandline in single-user mode.

IMac G5 system hang - 2 bad 1GB memory modules?

I am experiencing intermittent system hangs, requiring power off / on to recover. Applications run fine for hours, then everything freezes; a few seconds later the fans spool up full bore. There seems to be no logic to the failure. It happens on many different applications, including Disk Utility. No new software has been added recently (other than Apple software updates). This has been occuring for several weeks.
I repair permissions & run disk verify. When disk utility runs completely without hanging (on verify), everything is ok.
Applecare had me trash the ~/Library/Caches & system caches. No joy. They recommended archive & install beginning with Panther. Reinstall went ok until downloading updates for 10.4.8, then hang (might this suggest a hardware prob?).
Rebooted in target firewire mode the cloned drive, then zero'ed the G5 HDD and restored from clone (SuperDuper!). Everything appeared ok for several days, then the same system hang reappeared. I should mention that in the course of sudying this one, I discovered Virex 7.5 was sucking the processing life from the G5; used the uninstaller to get rid of it & the iMac is quiet again!
I have run the Applecare version of Techtools and the Hardware Test Disk, everything passes.
I could do a clean install of Tiger, then use migration assistant to move data from the clone...if I felt it had a chance to solve it. On the other hand, maybe its a flaky hardware gremlin and I'm wasting my time doing reinstalls, and I should hustle it over to the local Apple store.
Update - took iMac for service at Apple store where it failed under stress test with my 2 GB of memory but ran for an extended period with Apple memory. In an attempt to isolate which of the two 1 GB modules was bad, removed one module. Identical failure after 24 hrs. Howver, swapping out that failing module with the second module, identical hand. That suggests either both 1 GB modules are bad (unikely), or some other hardware issue is the problem.
Problem seems to occur most often when starting playing iTunes, or running Disk Utility (repair permissions).
I suppose the next step is to buy 1 GB of memory from Apple and make it fail again. Any suggestions?

Thank you for your posts, I appreciate it.
Skip - I tried a spare keyboard & mouse. Still failed.
MGW - all software is up to date.
DaddyPaycheck - I downloaded memtestosx. It fails testing each 1GB memory module separately (in different sockets). I'm running in multiuser mode and when it fails the entire iMac freezes up (just like it always does), requiring power off / power on. Is this normal behavior when the memtestosx test fails?
I will plan to test in single user mode as the supplied doc states that if the onboard cache is failing it would pass singleuser (cache apparently disabled in singleuser mode) but fail multiuser. Maybe the onboard cache is bad?
Thanks.

Close Front Panel Causes System Hang.

I have an application where there are several front panels that I would like to have open at once, but where when they stop they would close. I was using the scripting function fp.close - but as the application has got more complicated this seems to work less and less well. Basically when i hit close, the system hangs for a few seconds, then the time critical stuff i have tends to timeout and then crash, and everything goes funny for a while.
My (uneducated) guess is that when it closes a front panel it drops loads of stuff straight out of memory - in an uncontrolled way.
After going for a cup of coffee it usually sorts itself out. But clearly this isn't a sustainable solution for my application or my kidneys.
Am I doing something wrong? - Is there something i should do to allow the Vi to finish before i try to close it? Should i be releasing references or somethign to make things better. I thought about running the close vi sub as a new thread - but not sure if this would actually do anything different.
Attached - the subroutine that i pass a vi ref to.
Attachments:

There's nothing in the attached VI that would necessarily cause your problem. I would, however, suggest that you feed your reference through the nodes in proper flow control method rather than branching off like you've done.
When a VI fails to close quickly, I have most often found it's due to open references which aren't explicitly closed. File references, VI references, multiple calls in a loop acquiring the same reference over and over without releasing it, .NET calls not being closed - that kind of thing.

[SOLVED]System Hang in Arch Linux

I have tried distributions like ubuntu and fedora in hope for finding a stable system . So I move on to Arch Linux
But this problem also exist on Arch. While using my Arch Linux (including ubuntu and fedora) my system hangs with a black screen with something written on the whole screen which cannot be pasted here as my system hangs and I have to push power button to restart.
So I check my errors.log file and found these errors
Jul 8 22:59:24 localhost kernel: [ 1.680013] ata3: softreset failed (device not ready)
Jul 8 22:59:24 localhost kernel: [ 7.298612] SP5100 TCO timer: mmio address 0xfec000f0 already in use
Jul 8 22:59:31 localhost kdm_greet[792]: Cannot load /usr/share/apps/kdm/faces/.default.face: No such file or directory
I have a HCL K21 pdc notebook
Note: In Ubuntu my notebook start with ata1: softreset failed error at boot time
Most often this error occur while watching videos or listening music with VLC

Windows for Mac hangs frequently, how can I stop this?

I have Windows for Mac 98, and lately I have been using that a lot to type some papers, usually for seven hours a day for long stretches. What has happened is that at least once a day, the Windows program suddenly freezes without any warning, and the beachball starts spinning. I can't do anything to stop this from happening. I usually wait a few minutes and then go to Force-Quit and shut it down (the message in Force-Quit is that Word is not responding). I can usually recover some of the work when I go to Microsoft (Auto) Recovered Documents but usually I have lost a lot of the work I have done.
After this happening regularly, I started to save the work frequently, and hoped that if it crashed again, I could at least save all the work I had done. However, despite doing this, the recovered file had not saved the work until the most recent save, which I thought was strange.
As my work involves frequent typing in Word documents, this is a big worry.
I type .doc and .docx documents using Windows but from my recall (but I am not sure about this), both types of documents are involved in this problem.
How does this problem arise? Does it have to do with the memory? The Windows is using up too much memory perhaps? Would it be the same with Pages? I don't recall this ever happening with Pages but I suppose I haven't typed really long documents in Pages yet.
My computer is MBA version 3.2. I usually have other programs running at the same time: two browser windows, Pages, iTunes, vlc, Skype, and a program for using wifi with a USB stick. I should close as many programs as I can, I suppose while I am working in Windows, I suppose. Anything else I can do?
Saving frequently helps but not as much as I thought it would.
Does it have to do with my using .doc documents in this Windows program which is a .docx program? Should I install the older Windows for Mac program on the computer? Can I run the two versions of Windows for Mac simultaneously on my computer?

(1) Does it hang or does it crash frequently?
For the difference, see
How to tell an application crash from a hang

(2) Have you installed any add-ons to Word, such as EndNote CWYW?
(3) Are you using any 3rd party font managers, such as Suitcase Fusion?
(4) Are you using any keyboard shortcut or macro managers, such as Keyboard Maestro or TextExpander?

Random system hang-ups with Kernel 3.2.1-1 and catalyst 11.12

Hello,
i have a very strange problem for the last month or so (i'm afraid i cannot say, when it exactly happened the first time or if it was after a upgrade): My system just randomly crashes. I haven't yet found out when it exactly crashes and how to reproduce it. But it happens almost every 2-3 days.
When the system hangs up, the last second of sound repeat over and over again. I can't move my mouse anymore as well as typing has no effect. I cannot change to another terminal. I cannot ssh into the laptop nor can i ping it.
In /var/log/messages.log, there is nothing usefull.. It just ends with the old kernel messages and then the new ones, when the system restarts. No error or so.
System runs on a Thinkpad X121e with AMD E-350 CPU. I have installed catalyst 11.12 with xorg-server 1.11.3. I will now compile catalyst 12.1 and see if it happens again.
Does anyone have a clue why the system crashes? Has it anything to do with catalyst?

Can anyone give a proposal for a step by step procedure to isolate the problem?
As I don't believe these crashes are related to anything but the kernel, one way of debugging your issues could be:
* boot Knoppix
* zcat /proc/config.gz | some non-volatile media
* boot arch
* get the current ABS
* replace config in kernels/kernel26 with the one from Knoppix
* makepkg
* install and test
When that kernel runs, try to diff the two configs and see what's changed in arch. Also comparing both kernel versions if no significant changes exist might hint on the kernel being the problem.

System hangs when copying large quantity of files from external HD

A little background:
I was having some problems with the original OS (10.4.1), including periodic freezes. I bought the Mac Box Set '09 and installed Snow Leopard (10.6.5), but ran into some problems and in the process had to reformat my internal hard drive. I backed up all of my photos (~16GB), Documents (~1.5GB) and Music (~50GB) on a WD external hard drive (My Passport 750GB).
*The problem*: After the 10.6.5 install, the computer works great (no random freezing when I click around in Finder), but I am having trouble copying files back to the internal HD from the external. I can copy up to about 1GB at a time without any problems, but any time I try to copy more than that, the system hangs (first the spinning disk cursor, then it totally freezes) and I have to do a hard reset. I have tried copying a number of different folders (pictures and music), and the same holds true: small folders with a few files copy without a hitch, but any time I try to copy a lot of files at once: freeze city. This problem occurs whether I am using Finder to copy the files or iPhoto/iTunes to import them.
I have verified both disks using the Disk Utility AND restructured/verified them using DiskWarrior. I also had no problem copying all of my files from My Passport to a second external HD using this MacBook, so I assume the Passport is fine. Is this a physical problem with my internal HD? If so, why can't DiskWarrior or DiskUtility catch it? I just noticed that there is an internal HD recall for this model of macbook, although I have never gotten the question mark on startup that would qualify me for a replacement HD from Apple. Maybe it's a problem with Snow Leopard... I would love to know if anyone has had this problem before or has some advice.
Thanks,
Sam

External USB/FW drives 'falling off' or drives spinning down (going to sleep) and I would assume since you have been running 10.4 that the Passport might be older model, perhaps not the latest firmware, maybe not compatible with Macs and with Snow Leopard.
Obviously you want FW800 but for some, USB worked where FW fails.
Hard Reset: do you have another hard drive to boot from to run Disk Warrior? is that updated to 4.2 or later? you never want to run DW from CD. Else, boot from OS X 10.6.5; or Single User and run FSCK. HFS+ doesn't take kindly to hard restarts even though a Safe Boot helps a little, that isn't as good as FSCK or one of the other options.
Disk Warrior Rebuild is more thorough, but if you hold OPTION while clicking on REBUILD it brings up more choices. And you want to scan the full hard drive.
Going back to Aug/Sept 2009, there were a lot of threads about external hard drive issues. Wish I could point to a good one.

Cannot install OS (system hangs) on K7N2GM-L

I've just put together a (mostly) new system. The system posts OK, but when I try to install either Slackware or Win2k, the system hangs. Slackware consistently hangs after recognizing the cd drive, with a message about a kernel bug, while Win2k hangs while loading hardware files, with a message about a registry error (As in a hardware registry, not the windows registry). At one point, I was able to get slackware further in the install process, and even partitioned the hd, but I kept getting segfaults and then it would crash.
[Update]: Slackware actually hangs in one of two places. Sometimes it hangs right after initializing the Ramdisk, at which poing it gives an eror about being "Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virual address" I get the CD error when FSB spectrum is set to .50, I get the ramdisk error when it is set to 1.00
Things I've tried:
I've tested both ram sticks individually.
I've tried relaxing the memory timings, and changing the ram voltage.
I've tried disabling external cache.
Other info:
System temperature: 30 degrees celsius
CPU temp: 50 degrees celsius
I had to manually tweak the FSB to 166 (was being registered at 100) and set the FSB/DDR ratio to 1:1 (otherwise my PC2700 showed a 100mhz clock)
Voltages appear to be within tolerance.
Can anyone suggest what might be wrong? My power supply is rather cheap, but again, voltages look OK in the bios, and would that create such consistent problems? Is it my RAM? Or do I just have a faulty motherboard or CPU?
I've been at this for hours and I'm going nuts. Please help!

qui3ote it's so hard to say just exactly what your rig is going to take to run properly...some ppl spend hours trying different component configurations trying to make them work together only to find out that they have 1 or even 2 components in the "mix" failing at the same time thus leaving them to scratch their heads in disbelievement...I've been there myself...your best bet is to do as the "pro" builders do...
Homework, homework, homework...many of us now look around the net for others who have already built systems around a certain motherboard not being the first pioneers to venture into the unknown...saving ourselves countless hours because we've taken the time to talk to the experienced out there as to what will and will not work...
Some of us who do build a lot of systems for other folx out there take the time to buy different brands of memory, PSU's, CPU's, MB's, etc...and play with different configs in order to find "what works" and then post results in different forums in order to let others know what they've tried and not tried...this usually takes a bit of capital in order to buy what's known as "troubleshooting parts" and can get quite expensive...
To the occasional home builder: The days of buying and building with no problems is long past...with todays high speed systems, a lot of these home builders only remember the brand names that they used in the past thinking that they can go out and buy a really full featured high end MB, cheap generic or "Value" RAM memory, use the same case (usually 3 to 5 yrs old with a PSU in it that couldn't jump start someone's heart if they were dying, much less start up a power hungry high end gaming rig), as well as other peripherals...
Then they head on down to the MB mfg's website (if they even have one these days) and (thankfully not in your case) begin to trash and bash the company about how they have a crappy product, blah, blah, blah...
See where I'm going with this? In any case, as long winded as I've been here, you must now rise above the "occasional home builder" status and approach building with a new outlook as to "how to" and do that homework if you don't want to end up in this boat each and everytime...technology advances and it's up to us humans to advance our thought processes with it...
I wish you luck in your build here...my biggest advice I can give you atm is to go read the sticky posts at the top of the forum for some excellent tips on Memory, troubleshooting, etc, in order to gain some insight into how to do what you're doing...also, as Raven here points out, that PSU is way out of it's league in being able to supply the power needed for the build you're doing...take a step up into the world of high speed computing and lay down some cash for some higher end components that will leave you tearing out less of your hair and give you some peace of mind...
Apacer, OCZ, Corsair, Infineon, and, of course, Mushkin are all decent memory lines that have been known to work with these MB's...DO NOT buy cheap "Value" RAM memory for your board, it's likely to only give you more headaches...Mid to high end memory will cost you considerably more money but will save you countless hours of time trying to troubleshoot which to me is more valuable these days...a PSU with AT LEAST the amperage specs that Raven lists in his post, +3.3v-28, +5v-35A, +12V-18A, or even better is in most cases a requirement these days...and yes you're going to spend 60 to 100 dollars US or more to get one that gives you that spec...sales are a good thing to watch for all of this...
Sorry to go on for so long but I just wanted to give you some insight into the "new age" of computer building! Hope I've enlightened some things for you...if not sorry I rambled on so much *chuckles*
Good luck and let us know if you need any more help!

You should ask Oracle support for help. There's only one entry for this error stack (Bug 3361288 - Export of XMLSCHEMA may fail with ORA-24324 in UTF8), but it should have been fixed for your DB version and , as far as I can see, you don't have a Unicode database.

Are FF4.0.12 and Adobe win,2,159,1 compatable? Since I updated both 5 days ago, I cannot use Facebook or play games. Adobe says it is a FF4 problem so I downloaded 3.6.17 but no help. System hangs.

XP, 128 bit,ff3.6.17 now but no help.
Since I updated both, in Facebook my system hangs repeatedly
Only hard reboot and open new session will let me back on. I have been talking to Adobe support for 3 days and got the advice to put FF3.6.17 back on. It is worse when trying to scroll or trying to play a game. Cursor freezes and system hangs. I need some help pls. Which plugin is best when trying to use facebook and games on FF4.12? DOESN'T ANYONE KNOW OF ANY HELP? Just give me the name of a plugin that FF likes and a Web address. I need to be able to use my browser and would like to play some of my games. PLEASE!!!

Hey, I really need some help. Doesn't anyone know?
Just tell me a plugin that will work and not hang FF and give me a website. PLEASE.
