  • Why my internet accounts automatically get disconnected after that my computer turns off by itself?

    I have a Compaq PC with processor Dual-Core AMD Athlon X 2 5000, and it runs Windows Vista Edition Home Premium... In my view, that is running Service Pack 2. I use the computer to check my e-mail, my YouTube and Facebook accounts (and possibly other accounts spread I connect to).

    I usually use Internet Explore to browse the web. Sometimes my computer turns off by itself due to overheating. But whenever when this happens, when I turn my computer back on and return to the use of the Internet, I've totally frustrated to find that all my accounts were automatically disconnected!

    Even when I check these boxes to keep me connected to these accounts when I turn on the computer again after a successful stop, my accounts still get disconnected!

    It only seems to happen when my computer turns off by itself without stopping... mainly due to overheating. When I turn on the computer again after a successful regular stop, my accounts are automatically saved on once again, due to activate me "Keep me connected" by checking these little boxes. But after a situation when the computer is off all the time (either by himself for a reason, either by me with strength to turn it off when my computer crashes), my accounts do not remain.

    How can I prevent my accounts automatically be disconnected so that whenever I start the computer, after it turns off by itself, my internet accounts turned on? There must be a patch for this embarrassing situation here on the internet.

    Perhaps because an improper shutdown / forced can inpact on different parameters.

  • My computer turns off by itself.

    I took the back cover off the computer and blew all the dust around the fans, without success. Someone knows why this happens? The Tower just completely stops without warning. It would work very well for hours then stop down as if someone pulled the plug.  Sometimes, it can be just a few minutes and stops. Someone at - it never of this experience and if so, what was the result? Any help would be appreciated.

    It may be a faulty power supply, it may be a faulty fan, run it with the side cover and watch fans, if they all work when it stops, then it's probably the power supply.

  • Pavilion dv6 Wireless turn off by itself

    Pavilion dv6 1140ew with Windows 7. Each drivers are up-to-date. The system has been reinstalled recently so no virus is present.

    And that is the problem. The computer turns off randomly wireless features. The blue light on the Power button tab will become Orange, as it has been disabled manually. I can't turn it on again for a while. Sometiems, it requires a reboot to re - activate. I found no specific reason why it happens. There is no model when it occurs. Sometimes during a movie, when the internet is not used at all. Sometimes during a game, online when it is certeinly. It takes 10 minutes to 2 hours to reactivate itself.

    Would appreciate any help, as it is very frustrating.

    Hello Schanez,

    I understand that your wireless network is disabled and you want to prevent from happening.

I would focus on turn it off device power management section of the options I have installed wireless on below:

    Most wireless devices can be configured to turn off the power to reduce the drain on battery power. This is usually not a problem when the laptop is connected to an AC adapter. However, during battery operation, the adapter can be turned off to save energy. To disable this power setting, follow these steps.

    1. Click on start and enter the device in the search box, and then select Device Manager from the list.
    2. Double-click network adapters to lengthen the list, do a right click on the adapter for wireless (WiFi) in the list and select Properties.
    3. In the map properties window, click the power management tab, and then deselect allow the computer to turn off this device to save power option.

    Close Device Manager, restart the laptop and trying to reconnect to the wireless network.

    This is great... .buth how and when the computer turns off?  When I reopen it wifi comes back, I'm correct when she stops she also turns off wifi?

    Hello allan299,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    According to your post, I see that you have any questions on how and when your computer shuts down, and how the WiFi on your Mac is affected. I know it's nice to be able to properly manage what happens when your computer stops and starts in mode 'sleep'. I'm happy to help you find the best resolution.

    You're right, when your computer stops completely it will turn the Wi - Fi. If you enable the wake for network access, Wi - Fi remains lit, and you can access shared resources on your computer, such as printers or iTunes shared playlists even when your computer is in "sleep". Definition of a calendar closing and start on your Mac can also be useful.

    Check out the following resources that will help the set options that control the energy use of your computer, sleep, and wake-up times for your Mac and the calendar from your Mac to turn on or turn off or go to sleep:

  • C50-A-1HF satellite will turn off by itself after 2 seconds

    Hello

    the laptop turns off by itself after 2 seconds when I turn it on. This happens if I shutted down or choosed hibernate before (Win8.1).

    This means hibernation is not at all useable.

    The next time I turn it on it works quite normal! Sleep mode works as well. Standby mode it is ready for use after open them both as a repetitive. Fascinating!

    I looked on all the settings of the BIOS, but I found nothing what could be the reason for this behavior.

    Perhaps there is a correlation with another strange behavior. The battery will not be charged over 80%. I do not use the green mode. I have to turn off the laptop and remove the battery completely for a minute. After inserting and booting Win8.1 what it charges again at 100%.

    The discharge time is approximately 3.5 hours. Otherwise, the battery is ok.

    But after the next discharge up to 10% charge that up to 80% more.

    These two effects are not normal. But I don't think (or better, I hope) that there is a material defect.

    Is there a chance does not post the laptop to a repair service?

    Best regards

    Onurbi

    Hey man it are so strange problems and it's not easy to say what to do. All you can do is to install the original recovery image and test with the settings once more, of course without changing anything or install updates or additional applications.

    If possible to do this and test it for a while.
    > Is there a chance does not post the laptop to a repair service?
    As you probably know your possibilities to do something about this are very limited and if there is permanent problem I think you should contact the closest service Toshiba and clarify all of this.
    You have the new laptop model and it should work properly. If you are not happy and there are service problems Toshiba should take are about it and help you.

  • Satellite P15-S470 it turns off by itself - overheating?

    Hello

    3-4 years old laptop Toshiba Satellite P15-S470 my father seems to be overheating because it turns off by itself. It can happen at any time: in Windows XP Media Center 2004 (SP2 and all updates), at the prompt of password of BIOS at idle, at Windows startup, etc.

    Also, I can feel the fan blowing hot air hard left, the area of the battery being hot and the CD/DVD ejected hot.
    Hot note does NOT mean too hot to touch with my hands/fingers.

    I used a flashlight to look through the dark wind, and he looked clean (not so dusty or obstructed upward). I removed a few small items to make more air space for the winds, and that seems to help after a few minutes.

    Is there a program/software for checking laptop temperature sensors? I checked the CMOS area, but you could not like office machines. Site Web de Toshiba does not have one either.

    Are there ways to remedy (out of warranty)? I guess that the fans are still working because I can hear it turn very hard (quieter, if it's cool). I'm afraid it will get worse when the weather warms (Los Angeles weather) in particular this weekend when temperatures reach near 100 degrees (F).

    It is only in low 70 in the kitchen downstair on a glass table. The laptop started doing this a few weeks ago, but it seems to get worse when the weather warms. In addition, the laptop is usually [powered on site thanks to its power adapter.

    Battery use is rare (will try to remove the battery, if the problem occurs again to see if it causes the problem).

    Thank you in advance. :)

    Hello

    You said that the laptop is about 3-4 years of age?
    Hey dude, it is a very long time and in my opinion, the laptop must be cleaned professionally.
    For me it s a clear case. the fans don't run with maximum efficiency and therefore may not cool properly the laptop parts.

    I recommend contacting specialist and portable and it assistance. He could clean the module cooling grids and the fan inside.

  • On the start with progress bar page, after that it becomes a little more than half, the computer turns off.

    MY MacBook Pro is frozen and I had to turn off get out of the frozen page and when I pressed the button to turn it on it makes the departure noise and then the progress bar lights. When it becomes a little to Midway, the screen goes black and the computer turns off.

    The progress bar that starts from the left end appears when your startup disk is too damaged to mount. The illustrious progress is the functioning of the equivalent of disk utility (ERD). He is never more than half before taking a decision.

    If your drive CAN be mounted, start-up continues normally.

    If your drive cannot be mounted, your Mac stops, because there is nothing productive that it can do.

    If your Mac is trying to start and crashes, which can produce always different results, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.

    I recommend that you start in recovery and run utility disk (ERD) until it comes clean or is hopelessly.
