• Qosmio F50-113: sudden stops

  Hello

  I have recently been having a problem with my laptop suddenly stops during the games. At first I had this problem while playing with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 on my TV 42 '' connected to the laptop via a HDMI cable. This caused me start playing at 1280 x 720, which seemed to work better, until he suddenly stopped today at this resolution.

  The games I've had problems with 1920 x 1080 are:
  StarCraft 2
  League of Legends
  Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition

  Today, it stops at 1280 x 720, during the game The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Which kind of alarms me, considering the age of this game.

  Help, please.

  Hello

  Laptops automatically stops due to high temperatures.

  Have you noticed a higher temperature? Game all devices such as GPU or CPU executed with the highest performance and create the heat dissipation which can raise the temperature so, possibly, it's reason for the unexpected shutdown of the bottom.

  Usually, you must use the clean Toshiba graphics card drivers because these drivers supports thermal protection that allows to keep the temperature low

• Podcasts App suddenly stops playing

  Since the last major release of Podcsasts I was struggeling with her. Fortunetely some of its bugs have been fixed. Unfortunately for the most annoying bugs have not. Maybe I'm wrong with my opinion, but I really think that the main purpose of the application of Podcasts is to read podcasts, right? So why does he completely suddenly stop playing podcasts? the only thing that can be done is then open the app manually and click the comparable play hidden button and continue playing. The whole OS would not react on something else if you do not do this. It makes no sense to me and as I got this question all the time. My 4S on children 5 years to my at the 6ers, I'm not very confident to get afix it all soon.

  Another thing that probably his thad SDO is the sort that just make no sense for me. Most of the podacsts I listen to are programs that don't have not not be relistened to. I don't listen to anyone that I have when I have the time. However, the sort makes me always listen first to the most recent and not to the groin. I could easily live with this design error that I'm the only one in the world who uses Podcasts in this way (but I doubt at the same time). What makes me mad at her, is that playing the last podcast of this list, which is from my point of view on the other I need to listen to, will not jump to the next podcast when that is finished but just stops playing the list as if there where no more podcasts. But it is a. lot.

  Especially the two named bugs make a pain using podcasts. To be honest, it feels like not on the app developers use the application for more than to play half of the first test podcast they use. In addition, this behavior was intrduced with the new Podcasts app. The old version which has been replaced by a new version of IOS have the means to play the oldest to newest. and he was reliable playing. Compered to the old, the new version will be as of the first prototypes. It would have been okay, if the application would have improved over time. Maybe he has. I can only see it. I consider bugs because these great so they need to be fixed first to improve acceptance and satisfaction.

  Are there plans to fix these bugs or any tips that would help me to bypass?

  @mgollmick, I have no solutions to your questions but I wanted to add on your frustration about the application of Podcasts.  I started regularly using the Podcast app 6 months ago, and it has always been glitch in a multitude of ways:

  1. when I select a podcast, it won't often begin play immediately, regardless of whether I'm listening to a podcast already downloaded or via wifi.  Sometimes it will take 30 seconds to 1 minute before the podcast begins to play.  At other times, he won't play at all, and I have to close the app and re - manually open it (sometimes several times) until I can play a podcast.  I noticed that I do not suffer the same problem during access to downloaded podcasts offline (for example, during a hike).  This leads to believe that it is a problem of wifi, but I never experience lag issues when you access a music video Youtube or iCloud on my iPhone.

  2. when the list of "Unplayed Épisodes", I'm often impossible to remove (or there is a significant shift to delete) of podcast episodes in which I'm not interested.  I drag an individual podcast episode or click the 'Edit' button to remove podcast episodes, but more often that otherwise, I am unable to do.  Once again, I have to close the application and reopen it manually a couple of times before that I can delete episodes.

  3. the application of Podcast will often suddenly crash within 30 seconds of play an episode.   Sometimes it will crash after playing for an hour, even if I do not have set the sleep timer.   I have to open the app manually and click the 'Play '.

  4. There is often a long latency when trying manually updated list of "Unplayed Episodes.  Why I immediately see new videos for subscribed Youtube channels so I manually update the Youtube app, but it takes a minute or more to see a current list of new episodes of the podcast through Apple app?

  5. the iOS app also does not sync with iTunes on my Macbook or iMac:

  (a) iTunes does not reflect my order of podcasts that appear in "My Podcasts" on iOS.  I have manually re-ordered podcasts on iOS so that I can quickly access my favorite podcasts, but this reorganization does not appear in iTunes even after that I have to sync my phone with my iMac.  In addition, the left column of iTunes (with photos of each subscribed podcast nail) does not list podcast subscriptions in order alphabetical or any other rational means of organization.  It takes time to find a specific podcast under "My Podcasts) to access the episodes.  Why no iCloud synchronize?

  (b) "Unplayed Épisodes" iTunes version does not reflect the most recent episodes that appear on the Podcast app on my phone.   iTunes is about 24 hours of delay in the updates, and when I try to update iTunes manually, it does not work.  Also, I get a message that iTunes stopped updating a podcast special because I have not listened episodes recently.  Why iTunes does not recognize that I regularly listen to this podcast especially through the iOS app? Why this information is not automatically synchronize iTunes via iCloud?

  I've always been a fan of Apple products, and I understand when there are software problems from time to time, but to have so many important issues that impact, use of an application is beyond frustrating.   I understand now better Walt Mossberg recent Re / Code article criticizing Apple for not fixing not important issues with their own applications.  Although his article does not mention issues with Podcasts app, its purpose is also applicable.

• Satellite L300 suddenly stopped working - new motherboard needed

  My L300 Sat suddenly stopped working the other day.

  It kept freezing, then nothing. So I kill disked the HARD drive and tried to re - install Windows (XP).
  During the installation, he threw a message that some internal components had been installed incorrectly and has to be reinstalled.
  I was told to remove the memory cards and reposition the.

  It does not work. I thought that maybe the HARD drive was damaged, so I set up a new and started to reinstall Windows.
  Once again, same message. One of my colleagues at work suggested that the motherboard was probably U/S.

  So I've been trawling .net to find a replacement. Laptop computer out of warranty! I am told that some other mothers numbered series will work with this laptop. I really want to get a motherboard to find sound never go to work! My unit has a number of SPS to: V000138330.
  I am one with an SPS of offered: V000138390.

  Any ideas? This one will work?
  And if this is the case, it will give me the feature I used to enjoy?
  Sorry for the long history of sobbing.

  All the advice accepted with gratitude.

  Hello Andy

  Sorry, but can you tell us more about your laptop? What model do you have exactly (L300-xxx)?
  You have the European model?

  Maybe I've misunderstood something, but why you want to swap motherboard if the warranty is probably still valid?

• IdeaPad Y460 suddenly stop without notice

  September 2010, I bought my laptop. In the last three days, my laptop closed by itself without any notice.

  The sudden cut of all was when I'm webcaming with a contact by using Windows Live Messenger. The second and third stop sudden is when I play video games (NFS Shift 2, Rainbow Six Vegas 2).

  I checked Windows 7 event viewer and I got this: event 41, Kernel-Power "the system has rebooted without stop properly first. This error can be caused if the system unresponsive, crashed or unexpected power loss. ».

  What is the cause of this and what can I do to solve this problem? I never have this problem before and I can play games or webcam with no sudden closing down.

  I found the problem. It's my Avast antivirus. I remember the first day, this problem occurred when I switched my antivirus Avast, my laptop suddenly closed during a video call session. I figured it was Avast so I removed it.

  Now I'm using another antivirus (one already installed before Avast). Tested video calling, making long gaming session, there is no sudden down closure even if my temperature reaches 95 degrees Celsius. It's certainly nothing to do with the material of my laptop. Thanks for the help anyway

• Fuze suddenly stops and then powering Refreshess

  I recently started having a problem with my rocket GB 8.  When you listen to MP3 or WMA files the player suddenly stops.  When I restart happening in mode 'Refreshing Media' and made his thing.  Everything seems normal after the update, except that he may well repeat the same thing again in a few minutes.

  This happens only when I physically move the player - could be a kind of stress with the power cord.  It doesn't happen when I'm listening to the FM band.  So far, it does not happen when the player is locked (but can go in as soon as the player is unlocked).  I usually use a 4 GB SD card, but the player he will be with the card inside or outside (I usually Podcasts on the SD card and my music on main memory.  It happened while listening to the SD card or the internal memory (but no FM).

  The version is 1.02.026A.  The problem is not new and does not seem to be associated with this update.

  In fact, I used their online chat (it's fast and I end up with a paper trail).  The agent had me do all sorts of things in the sense you suggested and asked that if this does not work which I repeat by using another computer.  A little pain as the freezing problem not immediately shows up (so it takes awhile to find out whether the problem is resolved).

  The problem persisted in various forms and I contacted them again via chat - in view of the extensive literature that produce the transcript of the conversation, they conceded that it was a hardware problem and provided an RMA (most paid shipping charges).

  I guess I should check the box of "resolved".

• DVD-CD ROM DRIVE SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING

  My DVD - CD rom suddenly stopped working.  It does not appear on my computer.  In Device Manager, it shows the exclamation point in a yellow triangle and has the following: Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device.  The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39).  I tried updating the driver, and he said that the best updated driver is already installed.  But it won't work.  When I put a disc in, the green light as it tries to work, but nothing.  In the properties in Device Manager, he suggested looking for a microsoft solution and I did it and there is no solutions.  Help, please!  I have install all the recommended and important updates, I have this game automatically.  I have Vista service pack 2.  Apart from this, the computer works fine.  I appreciate any help you can offer.  Thank you.

  Hello

  Code 39 means that the driver is corrupted or missing.

  Do this - control panel - Device Manager 1 - click double-click on the drive - CD/DVD
  Driver update (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the drivers of certification). Now LAW
  Click on - UNINSTALL - REBOOT - this will rebuild the driver stack.

  Normally the above will solve this problem otherwise working your way down through them, even if you did
  them before.

  First of all, you can try using system restore if the problem just started happening.

  Go to your Start Menu > Accessories > system tools > system restore.

  Select a point of dated system restore to before the problem started happening and then restore your system at this point. During the system restore, you can restore the configuration of your system and you will not lose any personal data, the system restore affects only your configuration.

  After doing the system restore you don't like something that has changed on your system, you can "undo" the restoration of the system.

  If the system restore is not an option for you, or System Restore does not resolve the problem, you can take the measures put forward in the Microsoft Knowledgebase article below:

  You can also try diagnostics automated web site Windows Fix It:

• My computer keeps showing random parts "suddenly stop working" and the computer needs to reboot - I think it's a virus.

  I have a problem when occasionally and randomly my computer components apparently all of a sudden "stop working and must close ' which translates into my computer restart itself. This happens a lot, but I can not associate with any particular issue, as it changes each time. I think it's a virus, but nothing seems to be wrong, it's just the inconvenience. I had the computer more than a year and nothing wrong with it. The only other common thing is a program called "twonkymedia" seems to be on my pc and "must be closed", but I can't find anywhere to remove it.

  It's driving me crazy now, as can happen at any time during the game, work or other passtimes of the computer.

  After the foregoing:

  References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
  below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
  cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

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

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
  the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and the
  correct registry entries for your car.

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
  as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
  the parameters.
