MacBook Pro shut down unexpectedly

• My guard computer shut down unexpectedly when I play games.

  My guard computer shut down unexpectedly when I play games. Now it is not always the case, just sometimes. The other day I was playing Sims 3 all day, literally, with the graphics settings maxed out and had no problem. The next day, he would crash as soon as it finished loading, even with the graphics settings at the bottom. Today, it was working fine this morning and now it crashes again. I had the same problem on and off with other games as well, Halo 2, Kings Bounty, UT 3. Here is my system:

  OS - Vista Ultimate 32 bit
  Processor: Core 2 Quad Q9400 @ 2 .66GHz
  RAM - 4 x 1 GB PC6400 DDR2/800
  MB - MSI P7N SLI - FI
  HARD drive - 150 GB x 2 (Raid 0) Raptor 10 k RPM
  PSU - 1000 watts
  GPU - NVidia GeForce 9800GT 1 GB (x 2 in SLI)

  And the error I get from Event Viewer:

  Filter event with the query "SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 60 WHERE TargetInstance ISA 'Win32_Processor' AND TargetInstance.LoadPercentage > 99" could not be reactivated in namespace '//./root/CIMV2' because of error 0 x 80041003.» Events cannot be delivered through this filter until the problem is resolved.

  I got the error almost everyday since I got the computer, about 10 months ago, but it only blocks the computer if I play a game. I tried the 'fix' that removes the WMI event viewer 10 error, but everything done was make sure the error is not logged. I also tried another fix I found me delete the files in the repository, but that no longer works. I also run scans of complete system of virus/malware Spybot Search & Destroy and AVG 8 and verified the updated driver for my hardware. I also ran diagnostic tool memory. Who has good/clean/current. Can it be fixed or what I have to reinstall the OS?

  Hi JerHekSr,

  Thank you for using answers Forum.

  The first thing that comes to mind would be to check the motherboard manufacturer for an update of the firmware/BIOS.

  The error message mentions "loadpercentage > 99' which looks like you are running may at maximum load of the CPU while the game and that is the cause of the crash. You could try a clean boot to prevent the using CPU resources while you play to see if it makes a difference of strtup programs.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts. This article describes how to solve problems in Windows Vista by performing a clean boot. This article also describes how to start the Windows Installer service and how to reset the computer so that it starts as usual.

  Note When you perform a clean boot, you may temporarily lose some functionality. When you start the computer as usual, the function returns. However, you may receive the error message, or you can experience the original behavior.

  If the computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may prevent you from following these steps. We recommend strongly that you do not use System Configuration utility to change startup options on the computer, unless a support engineer Microsoft directs you to do so. This can make the computer unusable.

  a. log in the computer using an account with administrator rights.

  b. click Start collapse this image enlarge this image, type msconfig.exe in the Start Search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.

  The collapse of this image to this image if you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click continue .

  c. under the general tab, click Selective startup , and then clear the Load Startup items check box. (The box use the Boot file is not available.)

  d. on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft services check box and then click on disable all .

  Note Following this step lets services Microsoft continue to run. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services. If you disable these services, you can permanently delete all restore points. Do not do this if you want to use to restore the system with the existing restore points.

  e. click OK , and then click restart .

  Step 2: Enable half the services

  a. follow steps 1a and 1B to start the System Configuration utility.

  b. click on the Services tab and then click to select the hide all Microsoft services check box.

  c. Click to select half of the check boxes in the Service list.

  d. click OK and then click restart .

  Step 3: Determine whether the problem returns

  If the problem persists, repeat steps 1 and 2. In step 2, click to clear half of the check boxes that you have initially enabled in the Service list.

  If the problem does not occur, repeat steps 1 and 2. In step 2, select only half of the remaining check boxes that are cleared in the Service list. Repeat these steps until you have selected all the check boxes.

  If only one service is selected in the list of services , and you the problem persists, the service selected the cause of the problem. Go to step 6. If no service is causing this problem, go to step 4.

  Step 4: Enable half of the startup items

  a. perform a clean boot by repeating step 1.

  b. click on the Startup tab and then click to select half of the check boxes in the startup item list.

  c. click OK , and then click restart .

  Step 5: Determine whether the problem returns

  If the problem persists, repeat steps 1 and 4. In step 4, click to clear half of the check boxes that you have originally selected in the startup item list.

  If the problem does not occur, repeat steps 1 and 4. In step 4, select only half of the remaining check boxes that are cleared in the startup item list. Repeat these steps until you have selected all the check boxes.

  If only one startup item is selected in the startup item list, and you still experience the problem, start selected in the list element is the service that is causing the problem. Go to step 6.

  If no startup item causes this problem, a Microsoft service most likely the cause of the problem. To determine which Microsoft service may be causing the problem, repeat step 1 and step 2 without selecting the hide all Microsoft services check box in each step.

  Step 6: Resolve the problem

  After you determine the startup item or the service that is causing the problem, contact the manufacturer of the program to determine if the problem can be solved. Or, run the System Configuration utility, and then click to clear the check box of the element of the problem.

  Step 7: Reset the computer to start as usual

  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

  Click on start to reduce this image enlarge this image, type msconfig.exe in the Start Search box and press ENTER.

  The collapse of this image to this image if you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click continue .

  On the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK .

  When you are prompted to restart the computer, click restart .

• MacBook Pro slows down to a halt when plugged via magsafe.

  Hey guys.

  I had this strange problem lately, which started about 2 weeks ago.

  My Macbook Pro works perfectly as it is not plugged into the magsafe adapter.

  At the time wherever he is plugged in, it slows down to almost a halt with hiccups etc beach ball. From the MBP place goes from 15 to 20 seconds (unplugged) to 3-5 minutes (connected with magsafe)

  Now, I thought initially it was a hardware problem, but then I did a complete reformat and reinstall:

  I actually did 3 reformats full (the first two I have zero'ed my data) AND reset the SMC and the PRAM twice:

  The first reformat and reinstall brought back my MBP of El capitan to Snow Leopard. Meanwhile, first to reformat and reinstall the system, it may have showed signs of it still be afflicted by this slowness and beach ball gasp he showed before the reformat and reinstall. I kept the first reformat and reinstall for maybe 30 minutes in which I decided to reformat and reinstall once again, that I did not like the name of the Home folder.

  The second reformat and reinstall, I did notice one problem with the system, in fact it was running flawless both disconnected and connected via magsafe. I pulled up to the PS4 and played a few BF4 while I downloaded and reinstalled all the updates, then I upgraded to El Capitan. After all was said and done, I was reading how you can do a clean install of El Capitan via a USB port. I wanted to try this, so I downloaded a copy of El Capitan to a USB stick with the manufacturer of disc X and a then reformat (no zero out as starting program with El Capitan does not have it), and did a clean install of El Capitan.

  I didn't restore from back up or anything, the only thing I did was download all my iCloud data, like photos and songs etc. My system worked perfectly for about a week since the reformatting and reinstalling. He had no problem with the connected system or not.

  Now, a week later, the same problem slipped immediately came out of nowhere and the system works like crap when it is plugged. It takes 3-5 minutes to start, instead of 15 to 20 seconds when it is not plugged in. Also keep in mind, this is a new reinstall where I don't have any what garbage on my system. I didn't yet to reinstall all the games on my MBP, or anything like that, and in my opinion, this is one very bare reinstall OS. The total memory used is like 150 concerts against 350 before my first reformat and reinstall.

  So, I'm to the point where I'm racking my brain trying to figure out whether it is a hardware problem. Since the system ran a good week without this post question reformat and reinstall, it makes me doubt that it is a hardware problem. But on the flip side, since I did a reformat and reinstall, it can't be a problem of software either, especially since I didn't install anything the night before this problem appeared.

  My only hope to address this problem is I hope one of you had the same problem and have a solution. If not, it seems that I might need to get a new MBP this fall, which would be a shame this system ran flawlessly and fluidly before this annoying problem.

  Thanks in advance for any input.

  Since you mentioned the snow leopard, I understand that the MBP is an older model (2009 or almost?)... What is the status of the battery? https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT201585

• My computer shuts down unexpectedly, all the time. It is not the disk space. I don't know what it is.

  Original title: MY COMPUTER IS down unexpectedly, ALL THE TIME, IT is NOT DISK SPACE... I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS

  CAN YOU PLEASE ME SAY WHAT DO TO SLOVE THIS PROBLEM, MY COMPUTER STOPS UNEXPECTEDLY, ALL THE TIME.

  Hello

  Could be heat related - try using a small fan to blow into the air intakes to see if that helps.
  It is just like it loses power or stop it in the normal way? Keep in mind
  This associated heat does not always mean too much heat as it is often a part or a component
  who is too sensitive to normal levels even heat.

  Remove ALL power and reinstall all the memory cards and cables (both ends where possible).
  in fact, remove and replace - don't do not just tight. Remove the dust bunnies and clean the
  air vents. Check that fans are working (before and after opening the case). When your laptop on all the
  You can do is to reinstall the memory and clean the vents (still may try to add a small fan as a
  test).

  This sounds like material so if the above does not help you then probably need help
  a real computer store (not the leeks and the glances at a Best Buy or other stores) or the
  Support of system Maker.

  ===========================================================

• Satellite P10 shuts down unexpectedly after only 4/5 minutes to be turned on

  Hey, I have a problem with my Satellite P10 2.5 years.
  The problem is it turns off unexpectedly after 4/5 minutes being powered on.

  After he fires it on again for about 7 to 10 HOURS, even with the power drive inside displays the 4 lights on the front, but it will not even power the start-up routine.

  I tried different combinations of power/battery and I still get the same problem.
  I'm sure that it is overheating and then take hours to enhance down.

  Your opinion on this would be appreciated.

  Thanks in advance...

  Ben

  Hi Ben,

  Certainly, it sounds like an overheating issue from your description, although I expect to recover much faster than 7 to 10 hours. You can try the technique of aspiration of dust on the grids of aspiration air to see if it improves the situation. Also check that the fans are working properly and that there is sufficient space around the appliance when it is in use.

  Kind regards

• Computer shuts down unexpectedly and does not start

  I have a gateway NV52 running windows vista Home premium 64-bit.
  It is about four years old.

  Lately, I'll work on something, and the computer turns off without any warning. If not off, but just completely turn off as if it was a desktop computer and someone he disconnected.

  The last time he does, when I tried to put it back to it gave me a blue screen. Time thereafter, it gave me an error message saying 'Windows failed to load correctly' and gave me the ability to "repair windows" or "start windows normally". When you select the option the computer immediately turns off again.

  After about three hours, I tried to start again and got the same error screen. I chose "repair windows" once again, and launched a sort of auto repair program. After some time, he said it was over and I have to restart my computer. I rebooted and was able to boot up properly.

  I'm not sure that the problem has been corrected, because other than the unexpected interruptions, there was no sign of distress beforehand. My computer was working normally, and there is no virus/malware/etc.

  Hello Colin P.

  Generally, a system shutdown complete is the result of a hardware such as feeding problems, overheating or other material failed the system. Just to check that it is malicious not associated, run a complete virus scan on the system. If the system continues to stop, then I suggest you call the manufacture of equipment and ask them to help you run hardware diagnostics.

• Qosmio G20 - 102 Shutting down unexpectedly

  Hello
  I've known a lot of problems with my computer laptop qosmio, this all started in the summer 2004, since then ive sent several times to the dealer of Toshiba to Malta, taho. And they said it worked perfectly well when they tested. Quite strange, indeed.
  I remembered about it since his stupid enough to let a such good laptop to lose a few days ago.
  So now, on the issue.
  A small prgram called thotkey.exe appears in my taskbar, even if no real window opens. And after that, I have about 2 seconds before my screen blanks out and stops the pc.
  I thought to sell the laptop several times, but no one wants to buy it because of its problems.

  And what happens if you use a supplied recovery media and install new OS (factory settings)? This is the problem?

• COMPUTER SHUTS DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY, BUT STAYS ON USING AN EXTERNAL FAN BLOWING INTO IT

  I have HP Pavilion P6130Y desktop for a couple of years now where later it turns off after about 10 minutes of being on.  Once it turns off, it will remain only for a few seconds. The internal fans work properly.  I opened the side panel, cleaning of the computer and the dust in the fans and put a regular House external fan blowing into it.  With this fan blowing into it, the computer stays on and works perfectly.  Any know if this is related to a heating problem or is there perhaps any other question that the computer might have? If so, should what parts I replace?

  Hello

  Check with HP support, their documentation online and ask in their forums known issues.

  As it works with the fan added either something is too sensitive to normal even heat, or the
  computer generates just on the edge of the system, or both.

  Certainly a hardware problem.

• MacBook Pro drops wireless connection...

  Hello!

  My MacBook Pro is down constant wifi connection, sometimes hourly, sometimes every few seconds. It's very annoying and I have no idea what could be the problem... All I see is my MacBook has no assigned IP or auto-assignée IP. It is the only device in my house that has this problem, the rest works fine (several iOS and Android, Acer laptop, smart devices, storage attached to the network and so on...) I tried to use DHCP with a manual address static address as well (I put the Mac static IP in the routers settings using that). It helped for a few weeks, but it seems that the problem comes back. I tried to delete the wifi settings and restart the MacBook and the router... Reinstalling OS X also has not solved the problem. If you know or have any ideas what could help me I would really appreciate it.

  My equipment is:

  MacBook Pro 15 "retina (mid-2012),

  BTHub 4 (Type A).

  Software:

  V10.11.3 OS X El Capitan

  If you need information about hardware or software just ask. Thank you all in advance

  Wi - Fi connection problems can be a bit difficult to diagnose because there are many things that can affect performance, but there are some tools available:

  System Preferences > network > Wi - Fi > (help me) > (Diagnostics)

  This will check once for gross problems. But it tends to find any when your Wi - Fi connection works and does not at all when you connect Wi - Fi has abandoned.

  --------

  Hold down the Option key while you click on the wireless icon in the menu bar. This will display a number of important parameters on the performance of a Wi - Fi connection. a little, it will look like this:

  

  What values show you for Mode PHY and channel?

  What CISOS or the signal strength?

  What emission rates?

  very important and how many other networks do you see listed?

  --------

  Also note that there is an entry for the diagnosis wireless at the end of this menu. This isn't the same simple diagnosis of mind as in system preferences > network Panel. It can be called from this menu for a more complete look at your Wi - Fi configuration. Will be to report obvious problems, but once completed, you can also choose to leave the window open to control your connection.

  If you do this and go about your business, any unusual event will cause a warning to appear.

• Windows 7 will not shut down or restart my computer. I tried all of the suggestions I've seen previously displayed.

  My computer shuts down fine with Vista (64-bit), but not with Windows 7 (Home Ultimate, 64-bit).  It disconnects me and shows the "Stop" screen, access the drive hard as if he does something, but never closes my computer (or monitor) off the coast.  It's the same thing when I'm saying Windows restart my computer.  I always hold the power button to turn off.  Occasionally, the next time I start up, I get a message saying that the computer has been shut down unexpectly, but usually not.  Although I don't think that this issue is damaging physically my computer, it is still an annoying problem.

  So far I have tried:

  -Modification of the settings in my BIOS ACPI.  I don't have the ability to toggle ACPI, only to change between 1 & 3.  I tried them both.

  -Method of "Clean boot" Troubleshooting Microsoft.  Even with all non-essential services and startup items disabled, I always have this problem.

  -Disable Windows Fax.  Only one had this problem, and so I thought I would give it a shot.  Not good.

  -Another forum suggested turning off the M-Audio card.  Tasted it.

  -Yet another forum suggested changing "power settings" in the device to the IEEE Bus controller Manager 1394, allowing the computer stop the computer, or something in this sense.  I see no option anywhere to change the power settings.

  Suggestions of new, I can add to the list?

  After reading a lot on the forums and tried almost everything, patches, disabeling energy efficient features on IEEE 1394 and usb. He hit me, everything indicates that the acpi on the motherboard and the table mps. Changing from 1.4 to 1.1 in the bios MPS table solves the problem and win 7 shutsdown correctly
