Computer suddenly stopped

My computer suddenly shuts completely anywhere from half an hour to several hours apart. I get a box that says location information, but it closes so fast that I was never able to read. I noticed that I had to completely connect. Can anyone help

Hello

A spontaneous stop that does not have Windows stop properly is usually initiated by the hardware of the system to prevent damage to the components. Usually, as 99% of the time, it is due to an overheating condition. Modern hardware system monitors this condition and automatically shut down the system if the temperature exceeds pre-set limits. Turning off this feature or change temperature settings is not the right solution, even those these options may exist in the system BIOS.

The right way to cope is to open the case and blow out any accumulation of dust or debris, in particular on the processor fan and heat sink. You want to check that all fans, including food, work correctly and replace any that are not. Make sure that the tower itself is placed in a position where there are a lot of circulation of air, do not place it in a cabinet with a door that is closed all the time, simply won't be enough air flow.

In the case of a laptop, the best you can do is ensure that the intake and exhaust exits are cleared when the system is in use, and sometimes, it is recommended that you use a cooler rug to make life easier along. Using one on a soft surface like a pillow or cushion bed can make the problem worse by blocking air flow and prevent the circulation required to dissipate heat build up.

  • My computer keeps showing random parts "suddenly stop working" and the computer needs to reboot - I think it's a virus.

    I have a problem when occasionally and randomly my computer components apparently all of a sudden "stop working and must close ' which translates into my computer restart itself. This happens a lot, but I can not associate with any particular issue, as it changes each time. I think it's a virus, but nothing seems to be wrong, it's just the inconvenience. I had the computer more than a year and nothing wrong with it. The only other common thing is a program called "twonkymedia" seems to be on my pc and "must be closed", but I can't find anywhere to remove it.

    It's driving me crazy now, as can happen at any time during the game, work or other passtimes of the computer.

  • The heat of my computer a lot and it suddenly stops when Im playing certain games.

    My computer get too hot and it suddenly stops when Im playing certain games. Can you give me any advice to solve this problem. (I would like to format the pc and put it as the 1st time using, but I accept more tips) I have a cooler, but I think I'll buy a new one.

    EPPT

    With the computer turned off and not plugged in you should carefully blow out the fan and radiator.  Laptops are not suitable for playing games in the first place.  If the cooling block does not help and the computer is more than a year, you may need to reapply the thermal CPU paste or frankly just not playing games with her.

  • suddenly stops when the external usb hub is attached

    My imac 27 inches 5 k 2015 suddenly stops when an external USB hub is attached supposedly designed specifically for the mac. (Cutting) The mac does not start I have to unplug it and reconnect to restart. I tried different hubs of this manufacturer and all do the same thing. Remove the hub, the computer is fine. Any ideas?

    Well, try an another factory USB hub, I had good success with USB hubs powered from Belkin.

    Question... are the hubs help powered or are bus powered USB? They are bus powered USB is your problem, the USB ports on iMac didn't supply enough power to power bus-powered USB hubs.

  • Satellite NB10T-to-10F - webcam suddenly stopped working

    Hello
    I got the laptop TOSHIBA SATELLITE NB10T-A-10F
    The web cam has suddenly stopped working
    I tried
    Updated bios even without result
    Here is the picture of Device Manager

    In various cases, the webcam can be enabled and disabled in the BIOS
    This option would typically appear in the BIOS under: Advanced-> System Configuration
    Please check this box.

    Otherwise, you need to know also that the webcam driver installation isn't necessary if you use the system Win 8 or 8.1 win because such driver is already part of the system.

    If the BIOS does not have the power option webcam (Advanced-> System Configuration) I would recommend you to retrieve the computer laptop back to the factory to check settings if possible hardware malfunction would be responsible for this issue.

  • Satellite L50Dt - A - touchpad suddenly stopped working

    Hello
    I'm not a part of L50Dt-A Satellite. PSKM2A. It is running Windows 8.1.

    Last night the touchpad suddenly stopped not working, no cursor on the screen.
    The little mouse on the touchpad indicator has not been and is not yet lit.
    So I pressed the Fn + F5 key so many times, but that didn't work back.

    I went to the mouse properties in Control Panel, and under the hardware, it is listed.
    In Device Manager, there is nothing under the mouse either.
    I went to the site of Toshiba and downloaded the driver for the touchpad.

    However, on installation, it says that this is impossible because the computer already has one.
    I need to uninstall and reinstall.
    However, I don't find the touchpad synaptics original anywhere to uninstall driver.

    Everything is updated via windows update and I ran the troubleshooting tools and that you have restarted, and so far, nothing has worked.

    I plugged in an external mouse so I can use it.
    But I'd like my touchpad mouse works again.

    Any help you can give me would be much appreciated.

    Thank you

    > Yesterday the touch pad suddenly stopped working...
    I ve never been faced with this problem, but try first to make back the OS to an earlier time using system restore just to see what will happen.

  • Satellite M40 - 244 sudden stop - cooling/temperature problem?

    Hello everyone!

    For about 1 week, my laptop M40-244 became unable to cool down! Then, of course, more often, it stops suddenly to avoid any damage. I am sure that this problem is triggered out of cooling, simply by touching the left side of the key board it is easy to feel the (high-temperature 8 -

    My QUESTION is: is it possible for me to avoid the repair?

    I'm in Shanghai, I can not expensive toll-free phone and surprisingly that I have not found in the Web from Toshiba site any way to contact a Toshiba support by e-mail (if someone knows a way, please tell me!)

    Because it's very curious: my laptop is '8-month-old', never this kind of problem to date, and Toshiba is well known for a good cooling system. Recently, my laptop did not shock. Would it be possible that the fan has suddenly stopped working well?

    I tried to "verify" my laptop, but the failed to install of Speedfan and Motherboard Monitor 5 seems unsuited to the M40 244 then he is totally unable to find any sensor Board! Now, I've seen in some forums and website the possibility of the "underclocking", or a way to 'reset' the BIOS fan, but, Wow!, I am not an expert! What it means? It is possible with a laptop computer, or it is only possible with a PC?

    Here go us! I can go to a store of Toshiba and I guarantee, but it is required to serve 1 week without my laptop so professionally, she is extremely boring for me!

    Sorry, I'm a little long and sorry for my English (I'm French!), but If someone KNOWS A WAY THAT ALLOWS ME TO SOLVE this COOLING PROBLEM BY MYSELF, please tell me!

    Thanks in advance,

    Fred

    Hi Fred

    Vacuuming, cleaning procedure is not bad and very easy, but be careful. But if it does not help you should contact Toshiba service partner.
    The fact is that your laptop is under warranty and if there is a serious problem with the cooling module and fans the service partner must check.

    If you click this link, you will find the list of the FSA from Toshiba:
    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/Su/su_gaspLocator.jsp?PF=true

    In addition, you should check the settings in the energy saver because this Toshiba tool that controls the use of the CPU and cooling method.

    Good luck

  • Satellite L300 suddenly stopped working - new motherboard needed

    My L300 Sat suddenly stopped working the other day.

    It kept freezing, then nothing. So I kill disked the HARD drive and tried to re - install Windows (XP).
    During the installation, he threw a message that some internal components had been installed incorrectly and has to be reinstalled.
    I was told to remove the memory cards and reposition the.

    It does not work. I thought that maybe the HARD drive was damaged, so I set up a new and started to reinstall Windows.
    Once again, same message. One of my colleagues at work suggested that the motherboard was probably U/S.

    So I've been trawling .net to find a replacement. Laptop computer out of warranty! I am told that some other mothers numbered series will work with this laptop. I really want to get a motherboard to find sound never go to work! My unit has a number of SPS to: V000138330.
    I am one with an SPS of offered: V000138390.

    Any ideas? This one will work?
    And if this is the case, it will give me the feature I used to enjoy?
    Sorry for the long history of sobbing.

    All the advice accepted with gratitude.

    Sorry, but can you tell us more about your laptop? What model do you have exactly (L300-xxx)?
    You have the European model?
