Mac Pro randomly turns off by itself

I've had this problem for almost a year now with my mac pro, mid 2013 A1289 and could not find a solution to this day. It randomly and spontaneously turns itself off. The boss is very random. I can turn it back on after a few seconds, but he always die on me shortly after. My warranty period is now over and it does not apply to service nearby (I must send it through flight to the nearest service).

A few months back I asked my warranty and send it to apple. They said that they replaced the logic board. Many worked for a few weeks but the problem came back (at this time, that my warranty is over). not even the support of apple on the phone is unable to give me a solution. So, I did a lot of research and try to fix it myself with the help of Heads of the local computer. I suspected a overheating, but the problem came even when I turn it on for the first time in 2 days. I got a 2kva voltage stabilizer and APC back ups pro 1000, did not help. I got all my RAMS controlled, are all 100% working. I removed a few RAMS and switched around to see if there is problem with the slot machines, has not worked. I bought an SSD, deleted all my old HDD, installed a new OS, still the same problem. The only thing that I have not checked and now my only suspect because of the problem is the power supply.

Sorry for making it very long but I wanted to be as detailed as possible. I lost a lot of time, thought and money. And it's hard not to feel deflated. Please, if there is someone out there who can find a solution, it would mean a lot.

Note the next closing time. After the reboot, open the Console app in Finder > Applications > utilities and look for entries of the log at the time of the shutdow. Suspicious message here.

Look before the entry titled BOOT_TIME because this indicates that the beginning of a startup.

Also, what Mac do you have? A1289 indicates your desktop Mac Pro Tower silver and covers many years. The last silver Mac Pro Tower has mid-2012. I end 2013 Apple introduced the Mac Pro black trash

    Mac Pro randomly turns off by itself

    I have never got rid of the problem. Even after having replaced my card stock (radeon 5770) display with Asus Strix GTX 980 Ti, used a Corsair CX750 only power supply to power it. Look like anything, it's over heating, im stimulate fans PCI, exhaust and intake to 2500, 2000 and 2000 RPM (respectively). his strong!

    I'm tired of dealing with this old-tech, unreliable, expensive, overrated,... flat of the weight of the aluminum foil, so please find me a real solution/fix! I could easily put together a very decent PC that 'JUST WORKS' from what ive already spent trying to fix it.

    whenever he stops, I hear a click from the PSU (similar to the clicking sound when you press the power button on the front, commissioning). Trying next turn to the after he died, sometimes the power button will not turn on right away. I had to wait at least 10-15 sec to make it work. When it works sometimes stop with click 2 to 5 seconds after pressing the power button. He sometimes dies right after the chime. It starts also through without any problem.

    A few times when sometimes I watch the LED at the front of the Board (opposite the PCI fan) when he died, I see the two top LEDS blink once I hear that click, those who are highlighted red in the picture (not a picture of my Mac real). It also sometimes flashes when I press the button boot but used to power upward after that he died. Please, what that means?

    Do not know what is happening, every now and then it shuts it self without reason.

    I don't think that receives it to portable hot.
    That s a normal reason if a laptop has problems with the cooling part, and then gets it CPU hot and stop itself.

    In your case I would clean the laptop. You can use the jet of compressed air, it could blow the dust from the ventilation of cooling.

  • MacBook Pro automatically turning off Wifi; Can't go back

    Hello world

    I have a brand new MacBook Pro. Specs below:

    El Capitan 10.11.3

    MacBook Pro (retina, 13 inches, early 2015)

    Processor: Intel Core i5 at 2.9 GHz

    Memory: 16 GB 1867 MHz DDR3

    Graphics card: Intel Graphics Iris 6100 1536 MB

    I use WiFi when all of a sudden it will slow down my speed to a crawl, then * poof * my WiFi turns off by itself.  I try to go on the menu at the top right to reactivate it, not good. I try to go to system preferences / network to try to turn it back on, even when not go.  I tried to turn off other connections, I tried to add a new location with custom DNS settings (as I read in some articles, such as http://osxdaily.com/2015/10/16/fix-wi-fi-problems-mac-os-x-el-capitan/).  None of that worked, the only way that I can not even WiFi to turn back is to restart my machine.

    Elsewhere on this forum that I read that this could be a problem to upgrade, but since this is a brand new machine I don't think that applies to me.  Needless to say that this is a very frustrating issue, and I have yet to see real solutions.  I know other people have experienced the same problem, but has anyone had any solve positive results?   Any help would be appreciated.

  • 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.

  • Portege M400 randomly turn off and restart

    Hello
    I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what's wrong with my laptop? Two days ago began to randomly turn off and restart. I checked the following:
    -Execution control online Panda Security virus etc - all ok.
    -Check the system of newspapers but all it records is an error "windows has stopped unexpectedly".
    -Suspect an overheating problem I took it to pieces, clean all the dust from the fan and the heat exchanger. Also cleaned up all the old thermal paste off the CPU and replaced with new ones. It works now much cooler but always stops at random.
    -Run a Suse Linux Live DVD to check, it certainly isn't a problem with the OS and it stops again.

    I'm guessing that something is short circuit on the motherboard because it will run ok if it is on a flat surface and not moved and I do not press too hard while typing etc. However, it is a bit hit and Miss. If someone has had this problem before and there at - it something else I could try? Also any ideas on is how a new motherboard? I expect probably expensive :( If there is any kind of fix I can do myself? I'm pretty technically minded and do not have a problem with taking it bit do not know much about electronics, engines are more my thing :D

    TIA, Firedrake

    PS The laptop model number is PPM40E running Vista Business.

    Hello!

    I m not an expert in laptop but in my opinion, it sounds like a hardware malfunction. The reason could be a faulty motherboard or something else.
    I mean you already tried Linux bootable disk, so I think that the problem is not bound by the OS.

    I put t know how much a new card mother cost and if it s difficult to Exchange or not, but you should contact the nearest ASP that you can find on the Toshiba site. The laptop technicians can check your laptop and order a new card of mother.

  • Satellite A200-1FL randomly turns off

    Hello

    I have the problem that after I moved from the Spain to the Thailand now my Toshiba Satellite A200-1FL randomly turns off.
    This only seems to happen when it is connected with AC - with battery I have it is not happened again although I can't rule out it.

    After some time of work (sometimes only 10 minutes, sometimes up to 2 hours) the laptop just shuts off-as if I would unplug the unit without the battery inserted. It is certainly not an overheating problem because the CPU is at 55º c most of the time (a year before the cpu fan was dirty and he has sometimes increased to 90º - but which caused no stops).

    I don't know about electricity here in Thailand - but it seems 220V and they do not use the Earth (at least at the point where I am).
    I use the original Toshiba AC adapter.

    What could be the problem here - is there any solution or the solution to this problem?

    Thanks for any help,
    vitaminx

    Hey,.

    As stone I n not know electricity of the Spain and Thailand, but if you have only this problem with the AC adapter / CC, there are a few differences between the Spain and the Thailand.

    In your case, I will ask the local authorized maintainer in Thailand. For example just give them a call and ask a technician for help. I'm pretty sure, they can give you an answer if you need a new power supply or another outlet.

    Good luck! :)

  • Satellite A110-160 turns off by itself when im making a dvd to divx conversion

    My Toshiba A110-160 turns off by itself (abruptly) when im making a dvd to divx (autogk for example) conversion.
    This has not happened before...
    I use a bios updated to v1.7 (the latest).
    Do you think that it is because of this? I also did an upgrade (2GB, 667 mhz) memory and I use ubuntu and windows xp.
    Any ideas?

    I Don t have a clue why the machine will stop automatically and I can't give you a quick solution, but I can give you an idea how to make some accurate diagnosis:

    Remove the newly installed module and try again. Then give some feedback if it worked. If not, he should discuss more about this issue, would appreciate some comments from 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.

  • 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.

  • Laptop will not turn off by itself

    I have a HP Pavilion 15 - e097sa that is currently running Windows 8.1. When using the battery, it is not usually turned off by itself. I have to press on and hold the power button until it turns off. When the power supply is connected, it shut down normally. There is no error message and it just turns back normally afterwards.
