Odd - reboot has really a stop, and al.

I have a MacBook Pro with a couple, 3 really, questions and I was wondering if someone could enlighten me on what is happening.

A friend gave me his mid 2009 MacBook Pro model 5.5 because it didn't work well for him once he replaced the whole entire lid.  The original was seriously cracked and it replaces itself.

He told me that the screen turns off after 5 to 10 minutes of use and the fan ran all the time, so he thought it was time to replace it so he gave me the laptop.  It is currently running 10.6.8.

After using for a few days, I have determined that the battery is very low and was causing me the laptop stop after a few minutes of use, even with the laptop plugged.  I think that the battery was in a bad state that it was draining the power even if it was plugged.  I unplugged the battery and just having the charger plugged and now the MBP stays on all the time.

It's that has left me speechless now that I need help on other issues.

1. the fan runs all the time, and I hear all the time.  As soon as you press the power button on the fan gets to what is perhaps not at full speed, but it is significant, 3,000 (?) rpm of maybe.  Until the operating system is already started, before the bong never rings, until the screen logo gray Apple, the fan works.  I did the reset SMC and LANDAU.  Wifi in the menu bar icon says "No card installed Airport", which is probably a result of installing the cover itself.  The replacement cover, he got a person had inside Airport card or it didn't connect the cables when you fix the cover to the case.  I wonder if it can be related to that.  Any ideas?

2. a kernel_task works with high CPU all the time.  It starts about 2 or 3 minutes after logging into his account and is used about 90% CPU according to activity monitor.  In safe mode, it works only 3.4%, so something is raising with a normal startup.  There are no startup item and any current application running when I see that.  Should I look for something in the Extensions folder (not sure what to look for), or the LaunchAgents and LaunchDaemons folder (ditto)?  How can I determine what is the cause?

3. restart acts as Shutdown.  No matter how to choose "Restart", within their account or when you connect, the computer stops and never restarts.  When I installed Snow Leopard and said he had to turn it back on, it does not restart, it stop and I had to be able to save.  What is the cause?

I erased the disc and did a re-install Snow Leopard costs, but there is no change to these questions.  I'll have to ask him how he cracked his original screen.  There is no evidence of the abandonment of the laptop, but who knows what might have happened.

I'm not going to spend a lot of time on this laptop, but if anyone has any ideas on the three mentioned above, I'd be happy to hear from you.

Thank you

  • How can I prevent the shutdown task scheduler engine, get the new display detected to work and avoid receiving the message "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and stop"? __

    My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 1520, running Windows Vista Home Edition Premium and Internet Explorer 9.  My extra monitor is a Sharp Aquos LED HD - TV, the model LC-46LE700UN.  I've been using a VGA cable to me onnecter the laptop and TV.

    The laptop seems to operate normally when not connect to the TV.

    As soon as the VGA cable is connected to the laptop (without being connected to the TV), the following message appears:

    'Microsoft Windows - Task Scheduler engine has stopped working.  A problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is found. »

    When initially, I connected the laptop to TV, "new display detected" was automatically acti EV.  Soon, it was activated is no longer automatically.  I was able to activate manually using Windows Mobility Center during automatic activation failed initially but now Windows Mobility Center no longer detects the new view.

    Using Fn + F8, I can view the image on the laptop or TV, but not both simultaneously.

    The message "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and stop" appears intermittently, but I can still make internet sites and show the content after the message.

    I have download software, myp2p.eu, a site for watching TV programs "streaming", including PPStream, Sopcast, Live, Stream Torrent Sina, a Swarm, TVAnts, UUSee, VGO and Veetle player and canceled downloads for PPL (who failed an integrity check), PPMate (corrupted) and (blocked) TVKoo.

    Norton Security quarantined the installer of UUSee, indicating that it was a high risk of program with many users.

    To a computer repair shop and using a different additional display flat screen, I could not duplicate the problems yesterday (4 October 2010), when the "new detected display" has been activated automatically, and I could see the photo or the other and both screens.

    I tried to restore the system to a date (on the list) before when the problems occurred first - failure of the restoration of the system.  I tried to use scandisk, but received no indication that he had performed and corrected all errors found after restarting Windows.  I looked at responses from forum, the display setting and the new display detected support literature.

    How can I avoid these problems?  Help!

    Hello

    Restoring the system end up with any error message?

    This could also happen if one of the substantive programmes is in conflict with the proper functioning of your computer. To troubleshoot error messages and other issues,
    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.

    Steps-
    1 log on to the computer using an account with administrator rights
    2. click on start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue
    3. on the general tab, click Selective startup, and then clear the check box load startup items. (The check box use the file Boot is not available.)
    4. on the Services tab, click to select the skin all the Microsoft services check box, and then click 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 with existing restore points system restore utility

  • Dr Watson postmortem debugger has encountered a problem and stop windows...

    "Dr. Watson postmortem debugger has encountered a problem and needs to close windows," not only tries to close windows... it freezes. This forces me to shut down or restart the computer through Task Manager.

    This happens when I try to open JPEG with the default windows, program files in a specific folder. The program (in 32 XP sp3) is apparently photo and fax viewer winFX. When the debugger initiates its closure, he tries to send an error report. Within the error of the report data file specifies a "appcompat' divergence. This leads me to believe that there is a compatibility issue somewhere for this folder. (This folder contains several folders of JPEG files and a few vids). 

    I am able to view pictures of other files, in quicktime, Viewer , but the underlying problem remains with the default veiwer and this specific folder.

    Also, I'm not sure if it is independent, but when you try to view video files, they are scrambled and the sound stutters... even with quicktime player.   It's a difficult question because; Here are pictures of family and vids I am trying to display and modify.

    I hope there, can someone help me diagnose the root problem and the default player of this folder. Otherwise, I changed the options files to open the JPEG files and video in quicktime. However, I prefer to fix the original problem, rather than simply "he sweep it under the rug." Plus I need to access the above JPEG file and vids, with PC crashing every time.

    Thank you for your time and your consideration for reading this post and tryng to help me find a solution.

    OK guys, I kind of answered my own question.

    By publishing this response, I hope that I can help someone else "self-diagnose" similar problems.

    I was able to right-click on the file and copy it to a USB key. Then I downloaded the folder of JPEGs and videos to another computer. I was able to open all folders and files (using Windows Media Player Quicktime) without problem. This tells me that the laptop I took the files of do have enough RAM to see to many files at once. Apparently the folder content on data 3Gigs, the laptop has only 894MB RAM.

    It seems that there is a new project in the future lol, laptops. On that same note, I installed 4 GB of RAM (1 x 4) on the desktop, (the same Office I opened media files with) and made improved DRAMATICALLY (from the 256 MB x 2). This office is a dinosaur, but I'm happy to have made this update... it's a lot cheaper than the buy-in of a newer pc, and he cares about today's computing needs.

    Do not forget to check with the service manual for your PC, to determine the maximum amount of RAM it can handle.  Install it, or have a qualified technician to do if you do not trust your capabilities. You'll be glad you did.

    I'll do the same for the laptop and report back with my progress and results. I hope that I will be able to open those multimedia files on the laptop after upgrading RAM. It would be nice to be able to modify multimedia files on the go.

    Thanks to all those who read this post
