Yoga Pro 2 screen shuts off after one minute of inactivity

I have configured the Power options so that the screen shouldn't dim on either battery or power cord and the laptop shouldn't sleep. I don't have a screen saver on. I even removed the "Energy Manager" bundled app hoping that might work. Hugely annoying. Any advice appreciated!

This may be a Windows 8 issue. I finally fixed this problem by identifying the screen saver as the issue (and I wasn't using a screen saver). Type "lock the computer" into the search box after clicking the search charm, which brings up the screen saver dialog box. Mine was set to 1 minute, though I'd never set it myself. If you can't change it, choose a screen saver and you should be able to do so (and can then switch back to no screen saver).
BUT, here's the problem. Other things you install (or settings within things you install) can apparently change and override whatever you type in for the delay time. Try applying your new time and exiting from the dialog box, then open it back up again. I was finding that it kept going back to 1 minute. To reset things so that you can get control again, type "user accounts" into the search box and when the dialog box comes up, choose "Reset Security Policies". Then you can go back to the screen saver dialog and successfully change the delay time.

HP 15-f009wm shuts down after one minute

HP 15-f009wm, shuts down after one minute at idle. If you are doing something on it, like moving the mouse, it will stay on. I tried to go in, and change the power plans, and the options pertaining to this, but no help at all. I even tried to take the password off, so my wife wouldn't have a hard time trying to put it in, everytime it shuts down. I seen the option, marked it, and it still needs the password to open it.

If you have a virus and malware infestation, they you will have to certainly address that. This might be a good starting point to attempt to clean your system: Resolving and Preventing Viruses on Your Computer (Windows 8)
This is one way you can prevent or at least reduce potential infection in the future:
Using Windows 8 Defender to Prevent Virus and Spyware Problems
Some virus and malware are very tough to remove. This may be the quickest way to clean your system and start over. If you do this, you may want to take the time to clean any external drives you may have (ie. USB Sticks) as to not potentially infect your system again: Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8)
I hope this helps.

I have a Ipod shuffle 4th generation. I would like for the music to shut off after one hour long song automatically rather than go to the next song. Is this possible?

I have an ipod shuffle 4th generation. I would like for the music to automatically shut off after one hour long song rather than going to next song on the list. Is this possible?

Sorry, but it's not. The only way to get this to work is to only put the one hour song on your Shuffle.

My nano shuts down after one minute of use, why? Brandnew

My nano shuts down after one minute of use and it doesn't matter if I'm using the radio or playlist. This is brand new so I've only ever listened to 1 minute of a song. Help

Kevin,
This usually happens when your headphones/earbuds aren't plugged all the way in. Double check the connection of the headphones and make sure the jack is free of debris.

Shooting a video works sometimes, but sometimes it shuts off after one second without recording any video

Have had the Turbo Droid for only 3 days and just tried to shoot video. Twice it worked, but more often it seems to begin recording, but shuts off after one second without recording anything.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong to cause this to happen.
Can you help?
Thanks!

Thanks, EfrainM_VZW.
Haven't seen any error messages. Occasionallly, but only rarely, the video will record 1-2 frames, but most of the time it just shuts down. I have tried it with and without the rubber-grip case; taking off the case had no effect. The video still would not function.
When you tap the video camera icon, it tries to shoot video and seems to begin to record, but one (or two) second(s) later, it beeps and stops. Rarely with a frame or so of video; mostly nothing is recorded.
The still camera works great! Love being able to touch it anywhere to grab a snap.
BTW, my partner and I got identical phones at the same time last week. His video has the exact same problems as my phone.
Another point: I downloaded the Google Camera and can shoot video just fine through that camera. But not through the stock Motorola camera that came with the Droid Turbos.
I'm starting to think we got phones from a defective batch.
What do you think?

Final Cut Pro Randomly Shutting off after Minutes

Every time I open FCPX and begin editing it randomly shuts off after about 3-4 minutes. Regardless of what I am doing. I get no wheel or anything, it just shuts off clean. I am running the most recent update to Lion, FCPX 10.1 with 8GB of ram... this is really frustrating. Any thoughts?

#44: FCP acting weird - Trash Prefs
Shane's Stock Answer #44: FCP acting weird or unusual. Just not like is normally should
If the program was working fine, and now isn't, or just isn't working the way it should, the first things to do are:
1) Trash your FCP preferences. Download the appropriate version of FCP Rescue at http://www.fcprescue.com and run it.
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/trashing_fcpprefs.html
2) Open the Disk Utility and Repair Permissions.
3) Shut down for 10 min. Go for a quick walk around the block and get SOME exercise today. Come back, turn on the computer and see how things are.
4) (optional) Do the Hokey Pokey and turn your self about. Results may vary.

Need help fixing video shut off after 2 minutes in non-windows mode

Good morning experts in this forum, I need your help solving a hardware/firmware problem of my computer. I have a Hpe 250f computer with Radeon 5700 series video card on it. I recently noticed one strange problem which prevents me from doing any meaningful work in non-windows mode: The video will be shut off after around 2 min if the computer is not in Windows mode. This includes BIOs mode and recovery mode. There is no problem if the computer logs on Windows within 2 minutes. But if I stay in BIOs settings or try to use HP diagnostics or try to recover a backup using windows backups for around 2 min, the monitor will turn blank and the power button of monitor will turn yellow from green indicating no video output to it. It can not wake up by mouse or keyboard. I read that older BIOs have problem with fan speed and I reflashed the BIOs. But it did not work. This problem drives me mad since I had occasional hard drive failures recently and I could not recover my system (That is why I noticed the problem recently, but the problem could have existed when I bought the computer). Now the computer is out of warrenty and I could not find any similar case using Google search. I really appreaciate your help. Thanks

I had the same problem when I upgraded. In my case it definitely was the power supply. In my effort to figure out the problem by swapping components in and out, the dieing power supply killed 2 P8P67 Pro and 2 2500k, and when I tested with the P67A-GD65, the power supply totally died, but the good thing is that the GD65 survived. Swapped in a 430W to test and everything was perfect. At full load with GTX260, it will draw less than 300W, so your power supply is fine to test.

Shuts Down After One Minute?

I can turn on the Mac and load it all the way to the desktop, but after a minute or so, a pop-up of "Logout, Cancel, Restart, Shutdown" will occur. Even though nothing is pressing against the keyboard, it will turn itself off after a minute. I know this isn't a hardware problem because I am not experiencing random shutdown in XP, so it's solely within the Mac OS. Suggestions? Thanks!
