Turn is very likely a hardware problem and in your case, most likely an overheatng issue. Repaired by the manufacturer or a local service company that specializes in laptop computers (avoid the Geek Squad and any other department store; they are all the terrible).

  • Re: Satellite A215-S6820 - computer laptop turns off by itself

    I've had this computer for about a year now and it's just recently decided to die 3 days prior to the end of my warranty. Stroke of luck, I thought get fixed and ready to go. I used it for playing games its been quite a nice game until recently machine. I sent 2 times frist time they replace my motherboard pick it up and he didn't stay for more the same 15 last when I ran the game. Returned and all recently got back with more questions I know maybe just to send it back and have it repaired the right but I was wondering if there was a way I can fix it with little or no cost.

    Here's what's happening I have raise any game that I have played before top war hammer 40 k 2 series for about 5 minutes then turns off. Sins of a solar empire, a game where game Id nonstop until I pass out have games last 14-15 hours well lets just say that I can't even set up a game more. So I try older games yes I can play em for a while then crash. I think it is a heating problem that initially before he died he destroyed when map chart or something else. It surfing the web even now just seems to run hot then normal.

    Should I call and have em it back? I feel bad cause I like Toshiba and I just don't want that they think I'm trying to get a free patch or a new computer or what must be done to repair my laptop. I really like this laptop and products Toshiba Id want just this fix so I can be a killer of happy zombie in left 4 dead again.

    Hello!

    That s not all goes well publish your story on your laptop, but I think the same as you. I think the laptop is overheating. You can try to clean it with a jet of compressed air. This could blow out the dust from the cooling fans.

    If it doesn't work you have to bring this back to the authorized service provider. You told them that the laptop freezes in games? Maybe they don t have tested this so I have contacted the provider of service again.
    It could be that the thermal grease needs to be renewed, or else. The laptop technicians can verify this.

    Good luck and keep us in the loop.
    I'm sure that ASP will fix your problem as soon as possible. My experience with ASP s is very good and time to repair doesn t take a long time.

  • 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.

  • My laptop turns off itself Compaq presario c500

    My laptop turns off itself Compaq presario c500

    This may be a problem with the power supply for laptop. Power drain the computer once and then check to see if the same problem still exists. In order to drain the computer, disconnect all external devices from the computer and also to take the charger and battery, then press on and press and hold power for 30 seconds and release.

    Also a BIOS update if available on HP.com for model laptop.

    You can also see the computer in BIOS. Power on the computer and immediately, press the F10 key to load the BIOS, and then leave the computer as it is in the screen of the BIOS for some time and check if the computer turns off again and if it still cell phone off on its own while it is in the BIOS then contact HP and arrange for the service on the computer

  • computer hello__my laptop turn off itself

    I'm just why my laptop turn off itself, because today ' today I was connected to Skype, I was talking with my family, but all of a sudden it turned off I don't know what is happening... can you please tell me what's happening.. .thank you

    Another thing is this may be WHAT BIOS is configured to shut down the PC at the same time. Which battery is low or adapter will be disconnected, and then PC also turns off. Some malware can also turn off PC, in order to check this run full scan with your anti-virus and see if something might detect.

  • 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.

    I contacted HP Support and the solution is to disable a quick start, but thanks anyway

  • 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.

    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?

    Hello

    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.

  • HP 15-r011na: laptop turns off when it is attached cable ca

    Hi, I recently picked up the upgrade of Windows 10 and since then have had problems with the laptop switching power, do not know if it is related to Windows 10 but seems a coincidence!  When I got close I use the power on the screen completely closes the button and the laptop.  When I turn it on it's ok, if I have the AC cable disconnected (i.e. using battery power) but if I have the AC cable the screen goes off, but then goes black and seems to have turned off again, and I have to press the power button to put on the.  Also, if I connect the cable so that the laptop is on it goes black immediately, and if I delete it the screen comes alive again.  Can someone tell me what's going on that I have no idea about these things, and it makes me absolutely crazy!  I would really appreciate some advice please.

    Hi @Greenjack67 ,

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

    I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question about your laptop 15-r011na HP TouchSmart and the laptop turns off when it is attached cable ca. Here is a link to test and calibrate your battery for Windows 10.

    Note Remove all USB devices. Disconnect all devices of non-essential, as these can cause some problems.

    Plug the power supply directly into a different wall outlet. Do not connect it a power strip, surge arrester, or secondary power source as this could cause and issue.

    You can try to use the Windows Update Troubleshooter to fix updates that do not come through Windows 10.  Please restart the laptop twice to make sure that all updates are completed!

    Here is a document that shows how update the drivers that do not work correctly with Windows 10.

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you.
