Thinkpad x1 carbon unexpected shutdown and freezing during manual shutdown

Ever since i got my x1 carbon i've been experiencing constant unexpected shutdown issues. Ill leave my laptop on for a few minutes unused and when i come back it'll be turned off and when started back up it will prompt me that the computer has recovered from a unexpected shutdown. There are also numerous of times where i would attempt to put my laptop to sleep or shut it down manually and the screen will go black, however the laptop doesnt shutdown or goes into sleep mode, but instead freezes with a black screen. I've sent in my x1 carbon in once due to a harddrive failure where the computer wont even start up windows at all, the technician informed me that they put a new ssd in and ever since i got it back these issues still occur. Can some one please help me here? these occurance are getting more frequent and i'm afraid i might have to send in my laptop again due to harddrive failure.

Hi, kuelderrek
Could you possibly go into Event Viewer and look at the Windows Logs, and then take a screenshot of these logs and post them here? I'd also recommend making sure all the drivers for your system are up to date, just to make sure they are not causing any issues. You can find all the drivers for your system here.
Best,
Adam

Organizer stops downloading getting media. Download starts gets to 49%then stops and freezes. Manual shutdown, restart, still froze in organizer. A message say's an app is preventing start-up.

Guess I was in the wrong place to ask question. So here it is, in PSE 11, I was downloading photos from Sony's Play Memories program, got a news Sony camera and they push this program, knew I shouldn't of used it, but to late. While downloading photos from this into PSE organizer, it gets to 49% and freezes. Must manually shut off computer to close out of Elements. A small window appears stating "closing 1 app and shutting down, this app is preventing a shutdown".
My back up is on an external hard drive, Made sure I had the back-up for I was going to uninstall PSE 11 and Sony's Play Memories then re-install PSE 11 from hard drive. Before I knew it, the back up started to down load and picked up the faulty portion from the Organizer. So now they are both useless as I see iut. Any thoughts?
gulp...

As you can see below, when I right click, I have no such option. In the User Account Settings, I'm operating as the "System Administrator".
Any other suggestions?

[Solved]Computer slow down and freeze during data transfer syncing

Hello,
Everytime I make a data transfer, my computer slow down, and sometimes freeze during a few seconds, work for a fraction of seconds and freeze again. I don"t understand why.
As an example, here is a bench of files i transfered during a syncing with Grsync
It took about 12h to sync 64Gb.
I've read a lot of topics talking about this problem but nothing works. I tried to switch off the SWAP and setting the vm.dirty_ratio and vm.background_dirty_ratio but nothing works.
I'm making the trasfer between two Western Digital USB 2.0 external hard drive in NTFS.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance

It seems it was beacause one of my external hard drive was about to die. I performed the same operation with 2 Western Digital external hard drive 1To USB3 and it works perfectly.

Dropped Frames and "freezing" during capture

I'm having a problem capturing video....it mostly captures although I get "freezes" where the sound continues but the video frames are dropped. If I leave the Quit capture upon dropped frames I can't capture too much as the freezing happens about every 15 to 30 seconds. Any help?
I'm having the same problems on both computers and also when I try to set the hard drive as the scratch as opposed to my external HD.
MacBook Pro (INtel)
iMac (800mhz)
FCE 2.0
Thanks in advance

Tom,
Same issue here. I've been capturing well with the same setup months ago and have not had this issue until now.
The video "freezing" happens during writing to the hard disk during capture. Using Activity Monitor, you can see 2 second "bursts" of data written to disk every 30 seconds. The video in the capture window freezes during these bursts.
Activity Monitor also shows zero bytes of data being written to disk in between the bursts, but that doesn't seem right, because I know the video is being captured. (You can play it back in FCE)
The freezing can be seen during capture and when playing the captured clip in the viewer. Audio playback is fine.
I tried 3 different Scratch Disk settings with the same results:
External USB 2.0
External FW 800
Internal disk on PowerMac
Dual 2.0 GHz G5 (Cheese-Grater) PowerMac
10.4.9
FCE HD 3.0
QT Pro 7.1.5
3.5 GB Ram (100% set for FCE in settings)
FCE Easy Setup for DV Converter
Canopus ADVC110 converter
Analog VCR input into Canopus (Default settings on Canopus)
Firewire connection from Canopus to Mac
I couldn't find anything in your FCE Editing Workshop book that could help with this either. Everything worked fine a few months ago.

2 issues in LI2, slowing and freezing during developing, slideshow not showing all images.

1. Lightroom Is slowing down during normal development.
I only have 3500 photos in this catalog and am working on 50 to 200 photo in Raw format at a time,
When Opening and beginning a project the program worked fine but after a few hours of adjustments the program slows and then freezes for minutes at a time forcing me to shut down the computer and restart. I have a 1.5 TB hard drive and have moved the bulk of my files to a backup drive freeing up the MAJORITY of the hard drive for processing. I have been threw the 8 ways to speed up Lightroom and an finding the problem persisting. IDEA'S?
2. LI's Slideshow is not consistent in showing all the images.
after going through the slideshow's setting and playing the slideshow, LI will show some photos and not others and start over at random order. Idea's?

Images that are edited in Photoshop will be displayed automatically in Lr only when the image-file saved in Photoshop is the same as the one opened from Lr.
You say you open a JPG from Lr, then edit it in PS by - among other things - adding some layers. Layers are not supported in the JPG-format so you have to either save it as a psd or as a jpg-copy.
In either case this is not the same image file as the one opened in Lr, so it will have to be imported into Lr to show up. If you would flatten your image after editing in PS and then do a <save> to your JPG - not a <save as> - it will show up in Lr.
PS: the only exception is when you open a Raw image from Lr in PS and you save it in PS in the file format specified in Lr for external editing. The saved file will automatically show in LR.

Clicking noise and freezing during updating

Hello everyone, if anyone could help with the following problem i'd be more than grateful. my ipod recently wouldnt connect to windows and started making a clicking noise. to try an resolve this i have reset and restored. I thought this would solve the problem. However, when ipod is updating it seems to freeze, stop updating and clicking noise starts. the following message appears
the specified I/O operation on E: was not completed before the time out period expired.
the only way i can disconnect is to shut the computer down. My playlists appear but with no songs.
this is my 2nd ipod (clicking noise also happened so ipod was replaced in warranty) which is now out of warranty. I think my hard drive might be giving up? These discussions are my last hope! Do I buy a new ipod (possibly for the same thing to happen)? or is it worth getting it serviced? Does anyone out there have any ideas?

Even i have a Ipod with a click wheel and is behaving similarly.
Once i connect it to the PC (using USB) it shows the "Do Not Disconnect" sign forever and even iTunes does not recognize it, the hard disk is making some clicking noise and after some time windows returns timeout error "The specified I/O operation on E: was not completed before the time out period expired" !!
I think we are in the same boat, What do we do ???
Thanks

Firefox install causes error messages during startup and freezes during running

I installed firefox 20 on Windows 7 and when I reboot I see several messages telling me that I am missing dll files. I have verified that all the dll files are in the install folder. I was able to run firefox without running firebug and just putting up with the annoyance in clicking ok ont he messages at the start. However when I installed firebug and tried to start I have not been able to use the browser since.

Is this already appearing during the boot process or only after starting Firefox?
You can use the MSConfig program or the Autoruns utility to see which software and services are getting started.
*http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 20.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

P67A-GD65(B3) and freezes during boot, or rare reset

Hi,
I've got stupid issue. My mobo is rock solid under:
* few Windowses (7/8/XP)
* few Linuxes (Mandriva, Mageia, Ubuntu - in 32 and 64-bit revisions)
* UEFI BIOS.
But I've noticed it sometimes freezes on.. GRUB (ver 2, installed by Ubuntu) - when I press cursor keys too much, it just freezes and all I can do is hard reset. Is it something wrong with keyboard support, or something ? Keyboard is fine and doesn't cause any issues under any OS though.
I've tested memory with MemTest and all was fine. PSU is strong enough. Nothing is overheating (CPU/GPUs/bridge). System is not overclocked. Everything else works just brilliant (gaming, overclocking, testing under load). Oh, and GRUB is placed on my HDD, not SSD.
Any suggestions, please ?
P.S.
And sometimes.. it's very rare, too - but when I choose Win 7 to boot from SSD (I've got multiboot system with GRUB/Win menu) it boots... but after 5-6 seconds (before log screen) my PC makes self-reset.
BIOS: latest 1.19 (by CPU-Z)
Keyboard: Microsoft Sidewinder X6 USB (plugged to upper left USB port)
Mouse: Gigabyte M6900 USB (plugged tu upper right USB port)
Memory: 8 GB (2x4 GB) G.Skill Ripjaws 1600 MHz CL9 1.50 V
PSU: OCZ Z-Series 850 W
GFX: 2x MSI GTX 460 Hawk
CPU: i5 2300
MSX: M-Audio Delta 2496 PCI
OCZ Agility 3 60 GB + 2xSamsung 1 TB RAID-0

Do you enable xmp profile to get 1600 mhz memspeed in bios or do you run mem @ 1333 mhz? I get this with win7-64 with my 2 X 4 gb corsair vengeance lp 1600 if I run it at 1600 with the p67a-c45. I was told that since this intel chipset has a max officially rated speed of 1333 mhz you can get strange things happening if you overclock the chipset. BTW performance gain with running @ 1600 mhz is almost zero anyway.

Hp 6330f keeps crashing at start up and freezes during hibernation

Hello,

Been having a lot of issues lately, mostly the screen breaks into 4 lines and the system restarts, there are no beeps or warnings. Lately have not been able to start the PC it keeps crashing on startup, ran HP diagnostics it passed everything except the S.M.A.R.T short test. I ran Disk check and it was not able to recover some sections, not sure what else to do. Has anyone had similar problems to this? what can I do??

Hi,
Given the fact that the Hard Drive has failed the Smart test and Chkdsk is reporting sectors on the hard drive that cannot be read/written to, it really would look like the drive is failing and will need to be replaced. This is also consistent with the crashing/freezing issues that you mention.
If your PC is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange to have the drive replaced.
If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
If you are in another part of the world, start Here.
If you are out of warranty and would like a guide on replacing the Hard Drive yourself, please let me know.
Regards,
DP-K

Mac mini running slow and freezed during operation

I am running a 2011 MacMini. It is used for our worship services and recording. I am having issues with it freezing and slowing down. Usually we only have Propresenter ( presentatio program) and Gargeband (recording) running. I get the wait wheel and sometimes have to reboot to get going again. I have upgraded from 2 to 8 gig and also upgraded to the lion os. I have moved all files to an external drive. Any suggestions

Hi, you've mentioned some of this, but...
See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM & free Disk space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
In the Memory tab of Activity Monitor, are there a lot of Pageouts?
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

RMBP and Freezing during Graphics Intense Applications

Hi all,
I have a MBP Retina and whenever I try to run Civilization V or Aperture Full Screen (or anything else that requires switching to the nVidia graphics), my computer completely freezes in place. This means everything can display on the screen, but everything just stops. If I was listening to iTunes while doing whatever activity it suddenly stops playing, along with the application I am using. Mouse is completely frozen. Is it a software problem? Should I go spend some time getting it replaced at the Apple Store?
Thanks.
-Dave

Hey Dave,
I've been experiencing the same exact issue. I also noticed when using an external display that the screen will show some static for a couple seconds then everything will work as intended.
Were you able to replicate this issue on the Windows partition (if you have one)? The issue is definitely heat related. If I use SMCfancontrol to keep the fans at a higher rpm while gaming or using a graphic intense application, everything is fine.
I'm trying to figure out how to handle this.
Thanks,
Coupe

On 12/23/11 I update the adobe flash player and have had problems since- unexpected closing and freezing. Remove the adobe flash player and those problems resolved. How do I go back to the earlier version of adobe?

I was prompted by Firefox to update my adobe flash player on 12/23/11, which I did. Ever since then the web site has frozen and/or crashed. I run a internet business and can't have this continue. I uninstalled the flash player and the problems have stopped. I would like to reinstall the earlier version of adobe, since that didn't seem to impact the web site.
This is the flash player I installed on the 23rd - Flash Player 10.3 for Mac OS X 10.4-10.5 (Intel)

Your above posted list of installed plugins doesn't show the Flash plugin for Firefox.<br />
See [[Managing the Flash plugin]] and [[Installing the Flash plugin]]
You can check the Adobe welcome and test page: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

When shutting down from Start button with Firefox running, screen freezes, will not complete shutdown and I must manually shut down. How to fix?

win 7; 32 bit OS
Firefox 23.0

Thanks for posting back. Glad Firefox continues to work.
Most programs try to do a bit of a cleanup routine as they closedown so it is usually best to close them down properly.
You will presumably have options to make the computer sleep, that needs power; or hibernate, that needs no power but may need spare RAM memory.
* http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows7/sleep-and-hibernation-frequently-asked-questions
No doubt you have already discovered
* You can opt for Firefox starting with home pages or starting with the last opened Windows. <br />Even if starting from home pages the History option usually allows the last open windows and tabs to be reopened
**[[Startup, home page and download settings]]
* If something goes wrong Firefox tries to give you the ''embarrassing'' screen with options to select what opens from last time.
** [[Restore previous session - Configure when Firefox shows your most recent tabs and windows]]

My FCP7 application is constantly lagging and freezing during playback.

I am working off of a 4TB external HD with nearly 2TB of free space. I am constantly getting no playback after about 30 seconds of uninterrupted playback, sometimes less. I have trashed my preference files and still have had no luck. This is bringing my workflow to a standstill and I am about to start missing deadlines. I need help ASAP. any suggestions?

do you have at least 20% free space on your startup drive?
Do you have multiple external drives connected? Try disconnecting everything but the media drive.
How is the g-tech drive connected? Firewire? Thunderbolt?
You might be having a drive problem. Run applications: disk utility: drive repair on all drives. You'll need to boot of your install disk or restore partition to run it on your startup drive. I'd also suggest getting and running DiskWarrior. It's saved my life a few times
http://alsoft.com/
You might do some googling and find a drive speed test application to see if there's an issue with the g-tech.
And here's a user tip with a bunch of troubleshooting steps
