Weird automatic power shut offs

Just bought and assembled a KT4V board with an AMD Athlon 1800 with 133mhz fsb, 266mhz ddr Ram, 64mb Geforce 2. However when it boots up it likes to automatically shut off at points. I don't mea restart I mea I have to turn the power switch i the back off and on and then hit the switch in the front. Beyond the fact it does not eve get past the memory check with the FSB at 133 or for that matter aything over 100 (so it says the processor is only 1150mhz on start up) even with default settings when it gets past the POST it can't seem to read my boot disc in the floppy drive(sayig it can't locate the boot record) although it registers the device at the beginning. Any suggestions to the source of the problem/problems would be much appreciated.

I experienced the same rebooting issue with the KT4V I set up for a friend recently. It turned out it was the Data Curruption Issue Described in This Thread
The 1.7 Bios fixed the issue for me - but there are reports that it severly kills HardDrive Performance, but at least the computer is stable...
Can anyone Confirm that the 1.7 bios does kill harddrive performance? The board is out of my hands now and I didnt test the performance before the new bios update anyway.

Hold the home and power button down at the same time until you see the apple then let go..

No warning when on reserve power, shuts off data lost

Hi There:
I would like to know if there is a problem with my Macbook and if it may need service. I am often working on a presentation and don't check my battery life, after I deplete it, it doesn't tell me that it is about to run on reserve battery power. Instead it just quits and whatever I was doing was lost.
Before, my computer would bring up a little message that said that I was about to run on reserve power and that I better connect otherwise it will shut off. When this happened I was able to connect it, restart (if it had shut of on me) and the screen I had when it shut down on me was there just as I had left it. Can anyone tell me if my Macbook needs service? Or is this a setting I am missing in prefs.
Thanks Tyler

Check and see if you have battery update 1.3 installed.
MacBook/Library/System/Library/SystemConfiguration/BatteryUpdater.bundle
Leopard installs it. It is the MacBook Pro update.
If it is 1.3 drag it to the trash and then reboot. After you reboot you will be able to emtpy the trash. Once you have done that run software update and it should install Battery Update 1.2. You should also reset the SMC (System Management Controller).

Erratic "Low Battery Power" shut-offs

My I-Pod Mini is less than a year old and has developed a very annoying problem. Even with a full charge the unit will flash the "Low Battery Power" warning and then shut off. On some occassions the unit will turn back on within a few minutes and then play for a few hours. On other occassions the unit will not play at all. In the latter circumstance, I charge the I-Pod, but the icon will show that the battery is fully charged. It is then 50-50 as to whether it will play.
To make matters more frustrating I sent my mini to Apple for service and got it back (completely erased) with a letter saying it operated within acceptable limits. So, now I have a mini that does not work well, and I am out shipping expenses - that doesn't seem right!
Does anyone have any suggestions?

This sounds like my problem.

Power shuts off in a while

Lets see who can solve this for me:
my computer will shut off if i attempt to watch online streaming videos, play games, or do virus scan.
i did a memory scan with the windows 7 memory diagnostic utility, and came back with nothing.
is there any other hardware scanning utilities out there?

What did you dual boot too?
In Windows XP, for instance (and other versions) the machine may automatically reboot instead of giving you an error message, (the old 'blue screen of death'). To disable this in XP, follow the following directions:
1.
Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
2.
Click the Advanced tab.
3.
Under Startup and Recovery, click Settings to open the Startup and Recovery dialog box.
4.
Clear the Automatically restart check box, and click OK the necessary number of times.
5.
Restart your computer for the settings to take effect.
Once this is disabled, you may find further information allowing you to track down which hardware/driver is causing the error.
Immediate steps to take as well:
1. Update ALL drivers for all devices.
2. Remove and reseat all hardware (except CPU, and don't forget the memory!). A blow down to remove dust might help as well, as long as you're in there.

975X Platinum PUE V2.0 Power shuts off after ~45 sec?

I'm looking for help with a frustrating issue. This is a new build with the following:
*MSI 975X Platinum PUE
*Intel Core2Duo E6600 2.4Ghz 2M 1066FSB Socket 775
*XFX GeForce 7900 GT Video Card in PCIe
*Old IDE HD with XP
*New WD Caviar 250GB SATA
*Kingston 1024MB PC5400 DDR2 667MHz Memory x 2
The memory is in the DIMM1 & DIMM2 positions and the system will boot to the BIOS. Without doing anything, the system shuts down after about 30-45 seconds. Any suggestions would be very helpful. I have searched the forums and FAQ and the only thing that it may be is the "Power On after Power Off" under the Power Management Page in the CMOS Setup. I have not been able to try that yet, as the system doesn't stay on long enough.
Thanks for any help in advance!

I've never done that before. I usually still have my original media so that I can reinstall my programs.
It is hairy but I am sure it is possible to manually move over all the required stuff so that it can work
again. Several things to look into:
a) Can you migrate checkpoints? XP creates checkpoints so that you can later rollback. My question
is, can you use a checkpoint and move it over to a different computer? Probably not but it might be
worth investigating.
b) Manuallly do what an installer does.
- first move over your program files directory to where you want it to reside
- the nasty part is to somehow copy over the registry that refer to the programs that you just moved.
Good luck on that one.
- also inspect the system32 directory for dll's that applications sometimes install. Move those as well.
I do recall, I needed to do something similar to what you are doing and it was a hit or miss depending on
the program. Some programs just complained it wasn't in the registry and asked if I wanted to put it in.
Those solved themselves. Things like Microsoft Word just insisted to do a reinstall.

The power shut off during a hard reset and now it says no bootable media

I dont have a recovery disc

I am having the same exact problem. model number PSCF6U-01T00D AND serial number 7D191268Q. I have the Satellite C55t-A5222. It was working fine except the mouse touch pad has never worked on it. The power accidentally went off during a hard reset and now I am getting no bootable media. I have no discs for it. Any help would be appreciated since my warrenty just ran out in Sept. Very Frusterating!

Full Power Shut Off

I just got a BlackBerry Bold 9650. I can't find the full power off. Can anyone help me?
Thanks

To power off the BlackBerry Bold, go into the settings and click the Power off Icon and click Full Power off. Another option is to press and hold down the end call key until the device powers off completely. To turn it back on, press the same key.
I am providing a link where you can access as a reference. When accessing the website, simply put your Blackberry device.

IPhone repeatedly shuts off?

So since yesterday, my iPhone has been randomly shutting off. When it shuts off, it first freezes the screen and has weird lines as if the screen is messed up. It then proceeds to try to restart itself. The black screen with the apple symbol shows up, but before my phone will actually turn on, the screen gets weird again and shuts off, and then tries to restart itself over and over in the same way previously mentioned. The only way I've found to stop this cycle is to hold the power and home buttons when the phone is *trying* to power on, to actually shut it off. I then have to wait a few minutes before I can turn it on like normal again. Eventually, though, it will repeat the process.
This is a new iPhone, and I haven't found the powering off to be related to any specific apps. I haven't downloaded any new apps super recently, and I don't see the battery percentage changing drastically for no reason. Any ideas what could be wrong?

I got the same problem and so has my wife. My old iphone was replaced last week with a brand new (I hope) iphone. But already during the first phone call it sudden shuts off by itself en then comes back to life again. My wife's phone has the same problem for weeks or maybe months.
Her phone does after the shutting off/down not "remember" the last conversation or only a few seconds of it. Also she sees that not all phone calls coming in or going out are registered. They do not show up on the recent call list.
now to the next thread on network problems... what is going on with Apple? Too many mistakes. Hope they can recover as after 15+ years of using Apple I hate to think of looking for alternatives...if they exists :-D

HELP! New 845GE Max 6580 shuts off during BIOS

I'm putting together a new machine using the 845GE Max 6580 with:
Nvideo GForce2 mx400
PC133 512 memory
Pentium 4 3.06GHZ processor
when I turn on machine it begins BIOS than power shuts off... tried disabeling everything including the video card and just used the built in video on the motherboard...same deal. Disabled the drives, memory....I'm out of ideas. Tried a different keyboard and monitor as well.
Could the motherboard be defective and have to exchange!?
-Mike and Kerry

Stay with the o/b VGA for now.
Disconnect the IDE and floppy cables, disconnect the power and clear the CMOS.
Does it still happen ?
Look for extra stand offs under the board that might be shorting it.
If not try another stick of RAM and/or power supply.

Hi my friend gave me his old Iphone 1 today and its stuck in the apple boot logo. Sometimes it automatically shuts off but about a second later it comes back on. The home button and the power button seem to not be responsive. Im hoping to restore it.. Thx

You bought a used iPhone. Amazon is not an authorized supplier of iPhones, nor are any of the 3rd parties that sell iPhones there.
You can make an appointment at the genius bar and have it looked at.
If you are very very lucky, it is still under warranty and it wasn't opened or otherwise tampered with before you bought it. In which case, Apple will replace it under warranty.
If it's not under warranty, they will replace it for $199.
If it has been opened or tampered with, they won't touch it.

Weird problem with power shut down msi nforce 4 platinum

recently i have flashed the latest bios 1.9 of msi nforce 4 u platinum, everything work fine untill yesterday.some stanges happened......
my power doesnt have a on and off button on it ,every time i turn off the pc , i have to turn off the power button of a socket near by the pc.everytime it works fine, but yesterday when i turn on the power on button of that socket , the pc automatic start, i didint turn on the power button of pc, what a weird problem.. also when i go into os , the system time also changed, although i can turn them back to correct one in bios and os, but when i turn the pc off , it changed again... could any one help me out , what is teh real problem of my pc. some virus ?thanks a lot.
weird problem with power shut down msi nforce 4 platinum

it seems the first question has been solved. cos today when i turn on pc, the oc set up is gone ,in bios, it back to the original set up.i cant save my oc setup, so it definitely a battery problem!!!!!!!!!!!
i take the old battery t o a saler , there they massure it with voltmeter, it shows only 0.97v, but in bios 1.6 it shows 1.82v, so waht is the real meaning of that reading num in bios for battery?it cant be the real voltage of the battery. i buy a new one ,this one is maxcell 2032 hitachi, the old one is shi t panansonic 2032 .the new one shows 3.17v with voltmeter, then i come back , installed the new battery , in bios this time it shows 2.3v in bios 1.6. so the reading num in bios for battery is definitely is not a real reading for your battery.
i will keep my pc in 24/7 using , and i will look if the battery is sable or not , cos untilll now no one come out for a real explain for this stupid battery problem of msi nofroce 4 platinum.i dont want change battery every 2 or 3month, what a real sick of this!!!!

MB Pro shuts off at around 85% battery power.

I've been using the power adapter pretty much all the time with my MBP but now that I've been using it on battery power it has automatically shut off at around 85% battery power. I haven't always had the battery in while using the charger but for the last year I have. I'm not sure if that has any relevance.

Actually, it IS within the specification +for battery health+, which is what I stated above. Apple states, +"A properly maintained Apple notebook battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 300 full charge and discharge cycles."+ This is based on the reading for Full Charge Capacity in System Profiler. BGTD's full charge capacity is 5081 mAh, and the nominal new full charge capacity of a 15" MBP battery is 5500 mAh (rounded down, the calculated value is actually 5556 mAh). Even of the OP has a 17" MBP, the battery is still within health (though barely so - the denominator for a 17" MBP battery is 6300 mAh.
So, despite having an acceptable capacity (i.e., 'health'), the OP's MBP is shutting down with only 15% of the capacity used. As I stated, that's a symptom of a faulty battery.
Furthermore, you are also incorrect when you state, +"if your MBP is over 1 year old, Apple will NOT replace your battery."+ You can certainly state that Apple did not replace your battery free of charge, and I'm sorry for that! On the other hand, my health dropped suddenly to ~60% when my MBP was 16 months old. I +do not+ have AppleCare, and despite that, the Genius Bar replaced my battery for free. The page that I linked to (the top link) states, +"This program extends repair coverage on the battery for up to two years from the date of purchase of the computer for Intel Core Duo-based MacBook and MacBook Pro computers."+ I also pointed out that I am aware of Apple having replaced (for free) batteries of users with Core 2 Duo MBPs under the same program.
As I stated, the best bet is for the BGTD is to visit an Apple Store or call AppleCare and request a replacement battery, based on the information above. The answer may be "no," but I'd argue that it's worth a little effort to try and save US$130, given that there are known and Apple-acknowledged issues with some notebook batteries.

After a few minutes on safari it freezes everything i can't even force quit i have to shut off by holding the power button down please help me with this. thanks

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

My 27inch iMac automatically shuts off

My 27 inch iMac will shut off automatically after about 30 to 45 minutes - it will not turn on when using the on/off power button. I have to unplug from the wall, hold down the on/off power button for 10 seconds, plug it back into the wall then usually, it will turn on. I have tried using different wall outlets and not using a power strip but unless i follow the previous steps, it will not turn on. I ran an apple diagnostic test - it showed no issues with the hardware. It was purchased from the apple refurbished store in April of 2013. For hardware -processor 3.2 GHZ quad core intel core i5 - memory 8GB 1600MHz DDR3, graphics - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675MX -software - OS X, iLife '11

I think you should have received a 1 year warranty on this Mac, so I would take it in and have them fix it for free. If this is happening routinely at about the same time after boot up it sounds like an overheating issue, which is most likely hardware related.
