Mac stops when left to idle for a few seconds

Basically, the title says it all.

Whenever I leave the mac without any kind of interaction, he will either urge me to "Put my Mac to sleep" / "Shut Down", or he will die just on its own.

I checked other messages and son of on and off site, but I can't find one that fits my situation. I even tried to bring it to an Apple Store to have examined him just in case there was something wrong with the hardware or system. But it was working fine when they checked. So I thought it was OK. But right after I brought home and it works, it would still be acting weird as it has always been.

I tried resetting the PRAM and SMC, and same repair permissions, everything I could get my hands on, but unfortunately, none of those solved the problem.

All started last week when he stopped all of a sudden load and had initially showed unusual behavior. I can't even update the operating system because it wont let me not leave it alone, even for a minute, I'm getting more and more frustrated.

Someone else has the same problem as me? If Yes, how can I solve this problem? Or you could at least give me any suggestions?

Thank you.

    I have had a look and it seems that your model does not use technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology. However, I can cheat me so check your event log for the error I described in my first post. If you have cleared your newspapers, wait for the problem to appear once more and then check again. If you do not see the error that this correction will not help you (application do nothing other that add clutter to your registry).

    A bit of history...

    Intel Rapid Storage Technology (IRST) added originally entered in the registry during installation. Since version 10, Intel changed the application to use the settings by default, embedded in the program - registry entries are no longer used by default. However, TSRI seems to check the entries and if necessary, he would use. The problem arises that if version 10 is a new installation and the default settings do not meet your equipment needs. When this is the case, you might well live temporary blockage. It wasn't a problem if you upgraded of course you would have entries in your registry database.

    The solution is to simply add the appropriate entries.

    It is an export of the Scriptures that I added:

    ----------------

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\iaStor\Parameters]

    "BusType" = dword:00000003

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\iaStor\Parameters\Port0]

    "LPM" = DWORD: 00000000

    "LPMSTATE" = DWORD: 00000000

    "MISCONDUCT" = DWORD: 00000000

    "LPMDSTATE" = DWORD: 00000000

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\iaStor\Parameters\Port1]

    "MISCONDUCT" = DWORD: 00000000

    "LPM" = DWORD: 00000000

    "LPMDSTATE" = DWORD: 00000000

    "LPMSTATE" = DWORD: 00000000

    ----------------

    Copy the lines between the '-' (but do not include them).

    Paste it into a text file and finally, change the .txt .reg file type

    Double-click the file and follow the instructions to add to the registry.

    Note that I have included the second entry (Port1) because I have a DVD player. Honestly, I don't know if I needed to do.

    You should try this? Well, that's a decision for you! You can do a bit of reading (or a lot!) on the Intel site to better understand.

    All I can really tell you is that I had the problem of gel (10 to 20 seconds or more) as well as the error in the log. After I made the registry changes I have * never * had a freezing episode since. Nor I have seen the error reappears in my journal.  My machine (M5-581TG) is lightning fast, so I'm more than happy that the fix has had no adverse effect.

    Finally, if you decide to give it a go, I'd say you first check your registry database, and if you can't find this entry, export them before you add mine so you can put back them if need be.

    Original title: help - csvhost.exe and problems to start

    My sons laptop has problems - try to turn on and it would maintain a black screen for a few seconds and then turned off and turn and repeat until I've done a hard stop.  I am able to navigate to the top after repeated attempts.  I could take a quick and complete hard drive test and it passed... Finally, I restored to factory and spent the last 8 hours going through the update process.  It works fine and restart without problems until recently - I followed the instructions to reboot to perform an update, but he had served in the "shutting down" mode for almost an hour I did a firm hard down.  It took a few attempts so he could begin after that, and when I did I had a message on the svchost.exe and thought that might have something to with him... found a site that has a download that is supposed to fix errors and am curious if that is recommended or whether there is another solution or possible make my misfortunes.  The site is: http://www.exe-error-advisor.com/svchost-exe.  I don't know what's happening - the computer works very well when it turns - to be fair, I did also made an update of "HP Total Care Advisor" who has nothing and after I rebooted I could not make it work... "HP Advisor has stopped working"

  • YouTube videos are green for a few seconds when they start, quickly moving and switch between fullscreen and windowed mode

    suddenly, last night something happened with youtube. whenever I run a video on youtube its green for a few seconds, then it goes back to normal. its also green when I fast forward/jump and when I change between full screen and windowed. I linked to a screenshot of how it looks as if I googled this problem I find something else where people get a green screen but no picture at all and that it lasts the entire video.

    I tried updating the drivers for my graphics card. I tried to play on my nvidia card rather than use my intel graphics hd 4600 and still got the same result, but instead to get a green image, it was really dark almost black. I also tried to reinstall flash even downgrade to an earlier version, but nothing does. and the strange thing is that I only have this problem on youtube and only through firefox so I even tried reinstalling firefox, but that did not work either

    I found 2 things of this kind of help.
    the first solution is to disable hardware acceleration, but instead to get a green image for a few seconds, image frozen for the same period of time and then play and she is like when its Green, when I start it up, jump and change to full or windowed.

    the second solution I found in support for mozilla, to change the HTML5 player. But even if this player works great I really like it. for some reason any the break from the drive when I change between full screen and windowed mode and I don't like these pop-up windows get you that its now in full screen and I can press ESC to quit.

    These are just little things, but I would like to return the standard player.
    If anyone knows anything that could help me with this please let me know.

    This is the screenshot:

    What a little wild speculation?

    YouTube uses a technology that has chopped videos in individual pieces, which is probably video serve more easily, but could create more opportunities for issues when moving in the video. There is an add-on called Center of YouTube that allows you to disable this technology and back to the days of one big file. Might be worth a try.

  • Firefox hangs for a few seconds when you try to suspend videos or skip commercials on Youtube.

    Hi all!

    My problem is that YouTube freezes for a few seconds when I try to put a video on a break or skip or run advertisements. The video freezes while the sound continues to play until, at the end of say 5 seconds, youtube is finally what I tell it to do.

    This does not occur if the video is embedded on another website, nor is it on Vimeo, Dailymotion etc. I can play YouTube videos perfectly when you use Chrome, IE and Windows 8 Youtube application that I have.

    After the first freeze all commands start works great, at least until I've opened a new video.

    I noticed that many people are having problems with youtube while using firefox and I have tried a few things:
    -uninstalling and reinstalling flash and java
    -from Firefox in safe mode
    -using the different antivirus software
    -Reinstall Firefox

    I read that this could be a problem with the whole Google being all buddy-buddy with Adobe thing, but I'm skeptical.

    So, is it possible to get YouTube working properly?

    Thank you!

    You can check for problems with the latest version of the Flash plugin and try these:

    • disable an eventual extension of the browser for Firefox Plugin RealPlayer Record and if installed RealPlayer update
    • Disable protected mode in the plugin Flash (Flash 11.3 + on Windows Vista and later versions)
    • turn off hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

    Pf30 soul it records progressive, but puts it as interlaced on internal memory.

    Better is to implement a project of 30 p manually as elements are likely to be interpreted as 60i

    If so, you need to interpret all the clips in the assets of the project at 30 p.

  • Photoshop CC 2014 closes when start for a few seconds

    Hello

    When I try to open the Photoshop CC 2014. It will close after that that she has started upward for a few seconds without any error message dialog in Photoshop or error log in Event Viewer.

    I just subscribed to the combo of Photoshop & light package yesterday and tried to install Photoshop CC 2014.

    I tried to figure it out for at least 10 hours in 2 days by searching for solutions to these problems and tried everything I could do, but nothing really works.

    What I've tried are as follows:

    1. uninstall the cc ps 2014 with disable the preferences option and reinstall again with creative cloud application, but no luck.

    2. update graphic driver Nvidia, which he is already up to date, no luck. I even update windows using the center of Update window, but still the same problem.

    3. use Adobe Creative cloud cleaner tool after uninstalling the program. The cleaning tool works fine with message successfully and no error message in the log file. Then I try to install again, the ps, but no luck again.

    4. use the license Update Service tool, but not luck.

    5 remove the opm.db and not lunch Photoshop again, but no luck, same problem.

    ***6. Rename the folder SLStore SLStore_old. Open the program and he will ask me the software license by signing with my adobe account, he 'works' only for the first time. However, once I close the application and open it to new, same problem occurs, the program quits just after that I open it again. Now, I have to rename the file everytime I want to use Photoshop.

    (In fact, this problem happens the same thing for the LR and now I have to rename the folder SLStore whenever I want to use the LR as well)

    It seems to me that I have a few little license problem, but I don't understand why? and how to fix it?

    I use Window 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1 on my VAIO laptop.

    The specs are Intel (r) Core i7 CPU [email protected], 6.0 GB of RAM. The GPU is NVIDIA GEFORCE GT 425 M.

    I really need to use the program and that's why I decide to buy the package, please help solve this problem.

    Any help, any recommendations would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    I found the solution to that of these threads Re: Photoshop CC opens and then closes immediately. What gives? and Re: Photoshop CC crashes and closes a few seconds of starting

    I did it and it works for me, so I think I should share it so that people who have faced the same question that I can give it a try.

    Basically, just uninstall the Photoshop and creative cloud, then rename the folder SLCache SLCache_old. Restart your computer once and then re - install everything again. (CC and PS)

    It should work.

    Thank you

  • White screen for a few seconds in El Capitan

    Hello

    Since I updated to Yosemite to El Capitan (10.11.2), I get a white screen on a regular basis for a few seconds and the normal back.

    I use a MBP 2011 end. I read somewhere that it could be due to an incompatible application, but for the moment I could not identify any.

    Thanks for your help!

    When you see the white of the screen, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.

    These must be run as administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.

    Run the Console application in one of the following ways:

    ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

    ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
