T61p Insta-Shutdown! :(

Hi all

QuickSpecs:
I have a Lenovo T61p here type 6457.
It is the one with the Quadro FX 570 M videocard.
I installed it with Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit and Windows XP Pro SP3 32 Bit

All latest drivers have been completely installed, DirectX 9 June .0c and the latest graphics drivers from Nvidia.

Problem:
He sometimes everything stops without warning, just 'off' without any form of warning or sound.
I do not turn it off 'click' from the hard drive but it does whenever you turn it off normally too.
Then when I turn it on again it usually starts to windows and I can do just about everything.
Go on the internet, go through my music, using office and other... No problem at all!

When it happens:
There are times during the boot that puts the laptop in a loop, but it ALWAYS happens when I try something that takes into account the video card.

When I run 3Dmark 06 ' it stops immediately as soon the test begins.
Also, when I try to play a DVD movie it crashes every time that the movie starts.

This looks like a videocard related question for me.

What I tried:
All latest drivers have been installed as indicated above.
The problem that happens under XP and 7 so I'm clear enough, this is a unwanted material.
I swapped batteries and adapter, tried another (R60) disk hard 80 GB.
To make sure that is not a related problem of heat I cleaned the fan under the keyboard that has been completely cleaned and shows no sign of too hot gettings.
Tried to update to the latest version of the bios too, factory missed the bios of course.

Publishes:
1. tried another memory, also does not resolve this although it crashed just 30 seconds later instead of instantly.
2 TPfancontrol said less than 50 degrees Celsius for the CPU and the GPU.

So, what can I do?
I don't have the money to get it fixed now.
Help, please!

Danny

  • T61p 6460-DVU - nvidia driver unloads randomly

    I am a support person office experimented with a few deployments of massive laptops under my belt, and it drives me crazy:

    We recently bought about 12 T61p laptop of CDW. It comes to this specification:

    T9300(2.5GHz), 2 GB RAM, 160 GB 7200 RPM HD, LCD 15.4 in 1680 x 1050, 256 MB nVIDIA Quadro FX 570 M, CD-RW/DVD-RW, Intel 802.11agn wireless, Bluetooth, Modem, 1 Gb Ethernet, UltraNav, secure chip, fingerprint, Li - ion, WinXP Pro 9 c reader

    We have upgraded the ram to 4 GB.

    The problem, I continue to have is the Nvidia driver randomly discharge itself or hangs and does not appear in the display panel, it said "Nvidia XXX on Thinkpad LCD" instead of "on". No video more acceleration. Windows draw like a 286.

    Sometimes the issue is fixed with a complete system shutdown, sometimes it doesn't. He arrived on the dock with a monitor installed and the dock without having a. I tried the latest driver Nvidia for the 570 M on the Lenovo site, no difference. Also tried the new Director of presentation and more recent update of BIOS, no difference. He arrived more than one of the 12 that we bought, several times.

    I thought it could have been a corrupted image, I did so I started on the IBM CD recovery. I had installed SP3 of XP, MS office 2007 and some other random applications, of which none had nothing to do with the video card. He did it again, unloaded the driver. shut down and restart disappear that day, but for how long?

    I don't know what else to check at this point, so far I have excluded that it is our image of the laptop, because he did the same thing with a freshly restored (after installing SP3).

    Monitor resolution or profiles of switching with presentation Manager seems to be a catalyst for it to do, but it does without changing any resolution sometimes as well.

    I tried to download the software of nvidia control panel but just using the driver, and which seemed to make it happen less, but there's t - it.

    The only thing I have not tried is completely uninstall Manager presentation and do not use it at all. I think it might be a problem with the Director of the presentation and the nvidia card in this laptop, but I have no idea.

    Does anyone have advice for me? I already talked to lenovo and their support is worthless. He comes to ask me to send them the laptop. It occurs on several laptops so that will not help me. Support of CEP was a little more helpful, but it's always a dead end.

    I just want to post a response here because I found out why the problem occurred, after at least 2 weeks of troubleshooting.

    We use a parameter in the boot.ini XP called the "/ 3GB" switch.  This switch allows programs that require a lot of memory to access physical ram more than without it and restricted drivers windows/1 GB of memory (I could be wrong on that, but that's what I said).

    Unfortunately, as we discovered - the Nvidia Quadro FX 570 M card do not have this setting, and it doesn't have enough RAM to start correctly when the computer starts.  It then uses the generic adapter "VGASAVE' that windows uses when the video card is not working properly.

    There is a tweak to be able to continue to use this switch/3 GB, here called the switch/USERVA, detailed on the microsoft site: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316739. I used /USERVA:2950 in the boot.ini file and the card works properly again.

    I hope someone on google reads this thread and not wasting so much time that I had to try to solve this problem.  We never had this problem with ATI X 1300/X 1400 in the Thinkpad T60, however.

  • macOS Sierra can fully shutdown

    Hi, yesterday I just upgrade my MacBook Pro for macOS Sierra, when I shut down my computer, it can close all the application and turn my screen in the dark, but my apple macbook light logo still on. I have to press and hold the power button to shutdown entirely. Can you suggest me a solution for this problem?

    Thank you!

    It is possible that your Mac is always indexing of files for Spotlight.

  • No restart or shutdown Sierra

    I upgraded my MBP (mid-2015) to Sierra yesterday and now its not shut down or restart properly. Its get stuck on the black screen with nothing on it (not even a cursor). The display lights stays ON but nothing really from there, I even left there like that for more than 20 minutes. I Force shutdown by pressing the power button / stop for a few seconds.

    Step 1. Reset a SMC; Reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac - Apple Support

    Step 2. Reset the PRAM but keep P-R-Opt-Cmd when you start. The MBP sounds once again, how you can release the keys.

    Step 3. make a start by holding down the SHIFT key until you see the progress bar. Once you get to the login screen, you will see "Safe Boot" in red next to the clock.

    Step 4. Reboot again and log in normally.

  • After the upgrade to sierra, shutdown is extremely slow

    stop takes about 5 to 7 minutes. Screen will Dim, computer does not respond, but the stop takes 5-7 minutes. In the system log, no problems are reported.

    I closed all the software running before shutdown (clamx-av, dropbox, owncloud), but no difference.

    Hi rmschaefer,

    Thanks for the upgrade to Mac OS Sierra! Looks like your Mac takes a bit longer at the right stop. Great way to make sure that all applications are closed before you stop. You can try to check your Mac logs or startup items. Your item journal are applications that run as soon as you start up your Mac. They can run in the background continuously slow down your machine. Sierra macOS: If you think you have incompatible connection points

    You can also check to see how much disk space you have on your Mac. With Mac OS Sierra, you can release and optimize your disk without effort space to allow your Mac to run to its full potential!  Information System for Mac: optimization of the storage on your Mac

    If the release of disk space on your Mac and the removal of the login items not solve the problem, try to start the Mac in Mode safe.  Try safe mode if your Mac does not start-up

    What is safe mode?

    Safe mode (sometimes called secure boot) is a way to start up your Mac so that it performs certain checks and prevents certain software from loading automatically or opening. From your Mac in safe mode does the following:
    Check your startup disk and attempts to fix problems if necessary directory
    Loads needed kernel extensions only
    Prevents elements start and the login items open automatically
    Disables the user installed fonts
    Delete font caches, hiding the kernel and other files of the system cache
    Together, these changes can help resolve or isolate issues related to your startup disk.

    These measures should have your Mac off normally as expected and the Mac OS Sierra also runs fluid it is supposed to. Please use the Apple Support communities to post your question.
    Good day.

  • MacBook shutdown

    When I confirm my macbook stopped can I close just the cover or what I should expect that the keyboard light? and both will result the MacBook at the stop or closing the lid will to sleep instead of shutdown?

    Hello

    With El Capitan 10.11.6, I have to wait until the keyboard lights turn off and give about a minute or two before closing the lid. It takes a little more for some reason any for a full stop. I learned to confirm the stop and walk. Come back and close the cover later. Weird, but I don't let it bother me. Come to work with her.

    Bravo!

  • When I try to shut down my computer with Firefox running it hangs and stops the shutdown process.

    When I try to shut down my computer with Firefox running, it does not close properly during the closing. Instead, it crashes (as described in this article) and will continue to do so until I have stop the shutdown process and close it manually, where it will still not respond. There is the substantive issue. Here is the list of the relevant data to identify more precisely:

    On the list of programs is still active during the closure, the window of Firefox starts only appearing once as it should be, but a few seconds after starting to hang, it begins to appear a second time on the bottom of the list, with the specific name of the page is a duplicate of whatever it is on the original.

    This problem does not occur in safe mode, but it is not caused by one of my addons either, as I figured out after disabling all my addons with tools > Modules rather than the safe mode and still the problem.

    He is listed as that passes several times a week, but that is simply because that's how many times I forgot to close Firefox before pressing 'closed' and leaves the room without bothering to check it works. It happens whenever I try to turn off the computer with Firefox is running well.

    See this article--> occurs not in Safe Mode

    Check and say whether his work after turning off hardware acceleration.

  • Satellite Pro R50 - B Series 10 Windows shutdown problems

    Hi out there!

    I wanted to just inform you on an enoying but reproducible BUG:

    Toshiba Satellite Pro R50 - B series:

    You must disable the Intel Management Interface in the Device Manager in the contrary case, the computer laptop didn't shutdown completely / Standbymode will not work.

    Question (Bios V1.4 - Intel ME 11.00.1166):

    Work more than 30 min. then try closing. Screen goes blank - but the LED on the stay before the fan stays on until the battery is completely discharged. Or try to go to sleep mode. Even the stop.

    Just disable Intel ME Manager of year Windows devices you fine.

    Waiting to hear from Toshiba - I m a reseller, so the same problem exists on > 10 notebooks here.

  • Delayed start, shutdown procedure

    I recently discovered that my beautiful satellite pro has developed a resistance to be shutdwn or restarted. Through the usual procedure is very slow. Start at the stop is ok, but to get the final options (box with restart, shutdown, is slow). No info on Google.

    Explorer is faster than ever. I defragged, cleaned, checked for viruses, checked with systemworks, and everything is ok.

    Windows 2000 and I am on the network with the XP computer.

    The only other issue, since the definition to the network, is a tendency to lose the settings of the printer (against printer, references on not installed, although exclamation points that it works.) Printer is local and not on the network).

    Any ideas would be welcome. It's a little scary, because he had control with Toshiba upward only a few weeks ago. The flaw with the stop developed after that. They recommend a complete reinstallation, of course.

    Hi ellen,.

    like the guys from toshiba, I suggest you reinstall, too. After a while, an operating system becomes slower and slower due to misconfigured setting (no matter what settings) and the
    Register to become more complete, and the system can make really weird things.

    Thus, it would be good to backup you important data and reinstall windows with the recovery cd. After that, you should have somewhere clean and sober (from 3rd party software) system.
    Would appreciate feedback if you do reinstall.

  • Satellite L850-E8S - shutdown problems

    Hello everyone

    I bought Toshiba Satellite L850-E8S with Windows 8.0 (for a single language) preinstalled in October 2013. At the moment I can't get stop normally.

    Question: * pressing Shutdown (stop) of charms goes up "Windows is shutting down" and after that the screen turns off but power light is lit and the fan keeps operate.* I stop it by pressing the power button, I really want to quit smoking. (Once I didn't notice that and put the laptop in a bag for a few hours and it of a miracle that no equipment would have been burnt, despite the laptop was hot like the Sun) * the problem started after a month of use, and I didn't think her yet.*

    First of all, I thought that the case concerns him * hybrid Shutdown in the Win8. I have visited many forums dedicated for hybrid stop, proven fruitless discussions. *! AND! I had the same problem on my laptop with a slight difference - loading Win7 and Linux * the monitor stays on (with the lights and the fan on either). *
    Moreover, I also saw a BSOD after a day I bought the laptop. This problem concerned Realtek Audio driver and SRS Premium sound. As I understood the question is drivers conflict. Right now I have no installed Audio SRS premium and see no BSOD, but Realtek audio driver is not stable: the sound either begins to work in a few minutes after starting windows or it does'nt work at all.

    First of all, I wish really that someone to help me with the shutdown problem. All tips are welcome.

    Hello

    Check it please http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2B03EY0002R01.htm, change the settings described and try to turn off your computer is turned on on a regular basis.

    It works for you?

    After I deleted it went well for a while, but now the problem occurred again, but this time there is nothing to see in the event viewer.

    Can someone help me what is wrong and how can I fix it myself?

    Hi friendly smirou

    The laptop has been preloaded with Win 7 64 bit system.
    I guess that you are still using this system, I would recommend you to repair the system using the windows have auto repair function.

    Start Notepad, and then press F8.
    Now you should be able to access the Advanced menu.
    Here, you can choose between different options.

    You can choose the last known good configuration option.
    You can also choose the first option to fix your computer, which will open the next window, where you can access the Startup Repair feature.
    There, you might choose the Startup Repair option

    Otherwise, it would be desirable to recover the computer laptop back to settings factory just to check if its a system single or maybe hardware problem related question
