This happened a long time ago when I was still using XP. There were a few possibilities, but unfortunately unable to help much as we cannot see your screen, setup, programs etc.
Suggestion, in order of what I think is possible reasons
1) If you have 2xRam, swap their locations and run ram diagnostic, faulty memory?
2) Plug out your network cable and turn off wifi and do the shutdown, sympton remains?
3) Check your firefox addson for anything that syncs, eg bookmark syncing, backup etc
4) Download ccleaner, clean the registry and empty all the trash etc
5) Download and use a free tool call ProcessTamer, this one works for XP, it sometimes helps regulate those CPU usuage, "idling process" or something
6) Uninstall your java, download the latest and reinstall it. There was an add on that fouls up IE that casue all the slowness, unsure if your installation of firefox has it.

Thinkpad Edge E530 hangs on shutdown

Hi,
my Edge 530 fails regularly (allthough not every time) to shut down. Instead it hangs on the blue exit screen of my Windows 7 (Home Prem, SP1) and I'm forced to hold the power button down in order to shut down my system.
Windows event viewer shows a bunch of identical reports like this one:
ACPI thermal zone ACPI\ThermalZone\TZ01 has been enumerated.
_PSV = 368K
_TC1 = 1
_TC2 = 5
_TSP = 1000ms
_AC0 = 0K
_AC1 = 0K
_AC2 = 0K
_AC3 = 0K

_AC6 = 0K
_AC7 = 0K
_AC8 = 0K
_AC9 = 0K
_CRT = 373K
_HOT = 0K
_PSL - see event data.
Sometimes I get a beep and a message "fan error" on the following start up. Can this be potentially harmful and what shoud I try to do about it?
Thanks in advance,
Juhani

Trying To Create Bootable Diagnostics for ThinkPad X201

I'm working on a ThinkPad X201 that spontaneously shuts down - no warning messages, no blue screens; the system just shuts off. Not only does it happen while using Windows (that's Windows 7 Pro, 32-bit), but it also did it while I was running memtest86, a generic memory diagnostic.
I've also tried SpeedFan to see if the computer is experiencing thermal shutdown, but SpeedFan has yet to register a temperature in excess of 50C, well below the thermal shutdown threshhold on most computers.
That said, SpeedFan isn't the be-all and end-all of thermal diagnostic tools, and irrespective of what it says, the computer did seem to be blowing very hot air the second time I ram memtest86. Before I go to the trouble (and my customer's expense) of taking the computer apart, making sure the fan and cooling channels are clear and replacing the thermal compound on the processor and other chips that the heat sink sits on top of, I'd like to run Lenovo's bootable diagnostics.
I loaned out my external optical drive, so for the sake of expedience, I've been trying to make a bootable diagnostic flash drive. Lenovo provides a utility for this, but I can't get it to work. Per the instructions, I downloaded the ISO file and the bootable flash drive utility to a folder, and named them diag-image.iso and bootable-generator-10.exe, respectively. I put a USB flash drive (a 32GB SanDisk Cruzer, USB 2.0 version) in a USB port, and Windows assigns it drive letter E:. From an elevated command prompt, I change to that folder, and run the command:
bootable-generator-10.exe --create -l lenodiags -u e -f diag-image.iso
All I get back is the following error message:
Validate bootable
Failed to verify flags.
The bootable in E:\ is not valid.
Can anyone assist with this?

The method for creating a Mountain Lion flash drive only required you to clone the installer disk within the application to the flash drive. Job over. No need for passwords. With Mavericks Apple provided a way to do it because the old method used with Lion and Mountain Lion doesn't work for the Mavericks installer.
Would have been nicer had they provided an easy application to do it, but they did not. So it requires the Terminal, they more or less hid the fact it was even there, and they provide no instructions for its use by less experienced users.

Hanging at shutdown, restart

Mac OS 10.5.8
Macbook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4GB ram
Office 2004 (e.g. Excel 11.5.8 (100209))
Recently, I am getting frequent hangs at system shutdown and restarts. The
message I get indicates that an Office 2004 application (typically word,
PPT, Excel) has refused to quit (I can't recall exact message language).
If I press "continue" the process moves on, otherwise it keeps hanging.
Any thoughts on what might be happening? An office issue, mac os issue?
Note that this does not happen 100% of the time I use an office app, and
only started in the past few days (since last office update).
Thanks in advance.

HI,
Open Activity Monitor (Applications/Utiliteis). Click the pop up menu on the right and select; My Processses.
Select "Office 94 / Excel" and click the the red Quit Process button. See if that helps.
If that doesn't help, open the Terminal application. (Applications/Utilities) There might be another process causing this besides Office.
Type this in exactly as you see it here. pmset -g log
(This can take about ten seconds to run).
Look for "applicationresponse.slowresponse" It should tell you which is delaying shut down.

How to find out the info regarding Solaris, server hang or shutdown.

Hi
As I am handling the Solaris 9 Server remotely.
As in last week the server has stopped to respond suddenly, we have tried to ping, ssh which was not working. As ultimately we have asked the Data Centre Team to hard reboot the same, to resolve the issue.
In the same ref I would like to know how we come to know the reason, what caused to reboot the same, i.e . any log file, etc..
I have check /var/adm/messages, but not found any detail for the same.

No core files?
No hope for an answer.
As you learned in the other Internet forum.
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/solaris-opensolaris-20/how-to-find-out-the-info-regarding-solaris-server-hang-or-shutdown.-621500/
To get such corefiles analyzed,
you would need to use your service contract and log a support case with Sun.
They have the special software tools to do that.

Could not get Crucial M500 SSD to work in Thinkpad X201

I have a ThinkPad X201 running Window 7, I have not make any changes to the computer hence all the hardware are original.Except when I recently bought a Crucial M500 SSD, First I use MiniTool to clone the HD to the new SSD. After cloning, I install the SSD into the X201. Window appear to boot up normally with no error message. But soon I notice the Window is not working correctly. For example Window no longer recognize Microsoft published program. For a simple thing like pressing Del to delete a file. A UAC warning will come on to asked if I will allow delete,exe from an unknown publisher to make changes to the computer.Then I tried to repair window by downloading the Window 7 ISO file from microsoft site and proceed to do an upgrade of Window, The upgrading process took quite a while. When everything appear to have finished an error message came on to say "Window setup could not configure windows to run on this computer's hardware". So I gave up on cloning and try to make a clean install of Wondow on the SSD by using the Recovery DVD that came with the computer. The installation process gone through but at the end it ask me to put in the supplementary disk which did not come with the computer. Hence I could not complete the process. I am at a total loss, what can I do next to get it to work?
Solved!

thanks. I used Minitool to make the cloning which can be booted up from a CD/DVD. I will try to clone with the target in the laptop as suggested and let you know the result.
Crucial normally supplies Apricorn EZ Gig software with their drives. If you don't have it, check Crucial's website and there should be a download available. It should work when it detects a Crucial drive connected.
I didn't understand that you said you were going to order an external enclosure. How did you do your clone with Minitool? If you were using an adapter cable, you should also be able to use it to connect the HDD externally.
The cloning software should take care of everything for you. The cloned disk should be a seamless, plug-and-play version of the original. You should not have to fix anything afterwards. Just boot it and start using it directly.

Thinkpad X201 - problem with microphone and speakers

Hi,
My thinkpad X201 is a professional computer set up with Windows XP. Although I cannot check, I am reasonably sure that the computer was installed with the latest drivers and is regularly updated to the latest SP and patches.
My problem is the following: in Volume Control window, when both the general "Volume Control" and "Mic in Volume" are un-muted and maxed-up, a feedback loop quickly builds. When I decrease the volumes of both to a lower values, I can actually hear myself speak with a slight delay. The same phenomenon can be heard if I use the internal mic or if I plug in a microphone.
So, it seems that the (internal or external) mic input is constantly sent to the speakers. This makes any recording with this computer very painful.
Did anybody experience this problem? Is there a solution?
I would greatly appreciate any feedback.
Thanks

Ok, I've fixed the Radio thing, I installed the Nvida drivers from the Nvida site, and then had to select the aux input twice. Still havn't fixed the Mic issue, any suggestions?
Thanks!

I purchase my handset from sigapore using Starhub promotoion but it was a open handset. later i came to bangladesh and face some problem with power. i took it to my local nokia care center. than they update it to GDR2 after that my handset is frequently hanged. it hangs when i switch on the WiFi or data connection.
I suspect my OS is not loaded 100% correctly.

OS version: 8.0.10328.78
Firmware version: 3047.0000.1328.3001
HW revision number: 1.0.0.0
Radio Sw version: 1.0.202132.3
Chip SoC version: 8960.
another interesting thing is after this GDR2 update my 4G version is no more available.
please suggest what should be my setps to make this device stable.it was stable with the old FW but after GDR2 it is not stabel. i love Lumia/WP8. it is 100% fit with my life style.
i dont want to take this device to local nokia care agina. i dont trust them. please advice how i can improve my device without taking it to Nokia care.
thanks for every expert comments.

You can try resettng it but if it doesnt resolve, I suggest you bring it back to the care point so they can reflash it. I suspect they may have used the wrong version.

Ipod touch frequent hanging

somone help me
i have got an ipod touch 4 with ios 5.0.1
my ipod is frequently hanging on apps when i open or play them for more than 5 minutes.
it is ocouring since i updated my ios to ios5.0.1
it just stops and does not work. then i have to restart my ipod by pressing power button and home button together for 10 seconds.
someone please help me.

Try the standrd fixes:

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod

Firefox 18 on Mountain Lion frequently hangs with spinning ball for 1 min while a page is loading, or while opening a new tab. No tabs useable

Firefox 18 on Mountain Lion. Frequently hangs for minutes with spinning ball, usually while a page is loading (status bar says "loading..." "waiting..."), but sometimes just while on the same page. Other tabs and windows are not useable, even though only one tab is waiting. I usually have 2-4 windows open with several tabs each. Behavior is no different in safe mode. This is making the browser unusable.
In the past this happened and I've reinstalled or created a new clean profile, but it always recurs.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

New ThinkPad X201 won't connect

The Wi-Fi card in my new X201 is a "Thinkpad b/g/n" mini-pci card II"
I can't discern the manufacturer but someone said it's probably RealTek.
Running System > Administration > Hardware Drivers comes up with nothing.
Any ideas? No one on the Ubuntu forums is responding, so far.
(Wish I'd gotten the Intel wi-fi card.) The card works fine in Windows.
Anyone know where or how to get a driver for this?

Here it is:
"Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 8172 (rev 10)"
Know of a driver for this one?
I'm marking this as "Solved" because I just ordered the Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200 card from Lenovo through a local authorized Lenovo Service Center. They will be installing it for me.
I had the 6200 in my T410 (now sold) and I know it will work fine.
Thanks for your reply.

I have one iPad 3. But it is frequently hanging. More over the sound disappears. I have to restart the device to bring back the sound. Today I can't even restart as none of the icons are responding to touch. Why this is happening?

I have one iPad 3. But it is frequently hanging. More over the sound disappears. I have to restart the device to bring back the sound. Today I can't even restart as none of the icons are responding to touch. Why this is happening?

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

ThinkPad Twist s230u and ThinkPad x201 Tablet Creating Recovery Media

Hi Lenovo Customer Support,
ThinkPad s230u( model number: 3347CTO) - Window 8 Pro.
Before I start using my Laptop, I want to create a Recovery Media as is shown when installed with all partitions. Meaning if I format all contents of Laptop I want a recovery Media brings back computer as I go it in the first place include all partitions. By default there are five hidden partition and one ntfs.
What is the procedure how to Create a Recovery Media? I heard only Flash Recovery exist for Window 8.
Also I have Window 8 Pro but when I tried this link procedure http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/Create-Win-8-recovery-media-in-ThinkPad-Thi... I saw only Window 8 option and even then it reboot and did not work.
Also I did Flash Recovery and Took Faster with USB 3.0 Flash around 10 min around 16GB Space
Is it possible to do CD Recovery too ?
ThinkPad x201 Tablet(Model Number: 30933PG) - Wundow 7 Pro
Can you do Flash Recovery Media and CD Recovery Media under Window 7 Pro Enviro.
If you upgrade Hard drive to 1T and RAM to 16 G RAM , Can you Still do the Recovery Media?
What is the Procedure to successfully create Recovery Media.
Thanks.
saad

Reasons am asking this questions:
Sometime you test your computer doing a lot of things learning new technologies etc and suddenly you decide ok I want to take it back to factory state. Until now, most Thinkpad laptop does not come with recovery media. So how can I assure that my Recovery Media includes everything I used to have when I first receive unit.
I want to learn how to do that by myself by learning from the experts.
Until now what I know as follow:
ThinkPad x201:
I tried recovery media 3 DVD only with original hard drive works. I did not try Flash and not sure there is option yet.
If I upgrade unit with 1T hard drive and 16G Ram, How can I do Recovery Media?
ThinkPad Twist s230u:
I tried Flash and followed procedure on link in previous post. I took me less than 15 min to recovery whole. The question is does this process recover all the parts that is included when I receive unit.
I was unable to do recovery since I am not sure when in the Flash and during process showed to choose operating system was only Window 8 option not Window 8 Pro which came with unit.
I was able to do reset within system took longer and worked.
Is the recovery part build-in in the hardware or software partition? Is it included in the recovery Flash with all partitions?
Thank You. Awaiting for anyone to reply.
