TouchSmart 310 PC shut down

My Touchsmart 310 computer keeps closing down again, every time I have a film/video or play a game. I noticed that on the back of the monitor (where the cpu is) becomes very hot when I watch videos or play games, and then will follow the closing.

I tried to clean it, tried it cools by placing an electric fan behind it, but nothing works. What I have to put anything inside of the it - software or any "cooler special" so I can watch videos or play games without that it stops?

Help, please.

Thank you. My PC is fixed (I hope that is not temporary). I didn't remove the back cover of the PC and clean some built dust on the fan, and voila, it's not stop more. As I said, I hope that this is not a temporary solution.

Thanks for the interest, I appreciate it.

    My computer Touchsmart 310 guard to shut down every time I watch a film/video or play a game. I noticed that on the back of the monitor (where the cpu is) becomes very hot when I watch videos or play games, and then will follow the closing.

    Help, please.

    I had a similair problem and cleaning had no effect. The PC itself could be too hot and closed after a certain time. When I downloaded CPUID HWMonitor I found CPU temperatures up to 75 degrees Celsius and above. I read undervolting CPUs, but none would work for me since the AMD units wouldn't let me undervolt. The solution was easier than I expected, I did not have right to Google. I downloaded the free tool of AMD Overdrive. http://sites.AMD.com/us/game/downloads/AMD-Overdrive/pages/overview.aspx my PC HP Touchsmart 310 now is on 24/7. I lowered the CPU to 1,2000 VID and the NB VID to 1.0000. CPU temperatures decreased even though they are still too high in my opinion, it works. CPU temperatures won't now over 65. AMD Overdrive is a great tool and if someone found even better settings, please let me know. And no, undervolting does not compromise performance at all, because these PCs are not suitable for intensive play and during synchronization.

  • Need help with the Support Assistant for TouchSmart 310

    I tried to install the latest version of HP Support Assistant manually by searching on the HP customer service and it removed the previous version first. Nothing happened thereafter. I thought it would open HP Support Assistant after agreeing to terms and policies, but he did nothing. When I click on the HP Support Assistant icon, I get "year error occurred" on the very top of the page.  I am not in a position to make changes within the program - everything is gray.

    I tried unistalling tune but I get a message stating: Error 1316 - a network error has occurred trying to read from the file c:\windows\installer\hp support assistant.msi. I tried to look for this file and have not found. I even typed in the search and was not able to find it so I am not able to uninstall it.

    I've had this computer for a year now and have never been able to upgrade to the latest version of HP Support Assistant within the program. I'd get what your computer does not meet the minimum requirements and so I left it alone. The reason why I decided to manually update was because I have problems with the E: drive. And from what I read on HP, to see if I have a hard drive failed, I would need to run tests using HP Support Assistant, but unfortunately, I am not able to do this since I can't access HP Support Assistant.

    I have HP TouchSmart 310-1125f. Windows 7 64-bit.

    Hello

    It is good to hear than the detected "Fixit" and was able to remove the existing installation of HPSA such as what can many fixed some of the problems that can prevent a new version installation correctly.

    First, even if you always have the latest installer HPSA, download it again from the following link and save it in your downloads folder.

    HP Support Assistant.

    One when you're done, open your download folder, click with the right button on the Setup, select Extract 7 - zip, select the files and then click Ok.  Open the new folder sp58919 snippet and see you another installer called Setup - this right click and select new, 7-zip, select extract files and then click Ok.  Open the new installation folder, the installation application ( 4th down with a size of 249KO ) right-click and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.

    Did the full install now and if so, HPSA does work properly?

    Kind regards

  • my computer shuts down about 2/3 of the way after that the progress indicator starts and stops... any suggestion as it turns on again?

    Start Safe Mode removes the system caches that can help.

    Follow these steps to start in safe mode.

    1. Start or restart your Mac.
    2. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
    3. Release the SHIFT key when you see the logo Apple appears on the screen.

    After the Apple logo appears, this may take longer than usual to reach the login screen or your office. This is because your Mac performs a check of directory of your drive to boot in safe mode.

    To leave safe mode, restart your computer without pressing any keys during startup.

    Then try to update iTunes.

  • My computer won't shut down or restart

    There was an update of the systems, and after that I installed it my computer is unable to shut down or restart. I have to hit the power button to get it to turn off. When I close all the way down he does is get rid of the toolbar and icon of my office leaving me just my wallpaper. Now, I have an update that requires a restart. What should I do?

    Outdated software for a Tablet Wacom can prevent the closing. If you no longer use the device, please remove the software. Otherwise, update the latest version of the Web site of the manufacturer.

    After following the instructions on the removal link above, you may also need to open the users and groups in system preferences, select the login items tab and remove all Wacom related items. It is because the uninstall program is defective.

    Back up all data before making any changes.

  • MacBook Air 5.2 not shut down or restart.

    Hello.

    My MacBook Air 13' with OS 10.11.5 won't close (or restart) - usually. I have had this problem since Yosemite, but don't remember exactly under what version it began.

    To be more precise: current stop, all icons disappear (as usual), but the image of the Office remains active. I can always start other programs is Finder that is affected. Trying to Force Quit Finder does not help. Repeatedly (say 99 / 100 to give a number) it closed normally, but nothing in fact different... Judge without plugging anything if there's a device problem. Saute all automatic connect points. Cleaned cache and preference files dead (using Cocktail).

    What is a way I can follow the Shut Down procedure to see where it falls? Activity monitor?

    Thanks for all advice :-)

    Found the solution in an another tread with (almost) the same Air. Uninstalling the Wacom driver (in my case using AppCleaner) solved the problem. I wasn't the way of editing, since the latest driver for my bamboo tablet was the same version I had installed... (5.3.6-6). maybe a new installation works, but for now, I'm better of without the tablet. Thanks to click!

    Your office is frozen?   If not, stop or reboot can wait for something to finish - you close all open applications?   Allow you your system to connect to the internet (these pesky background downloads or you are not always aware of synchronization)

    As for hard shutdown - with button / stop

    Have you held in the power button for about 15 seconds to stop hard - otherwise he's asleep.

    After unplugging - press and hold the power button in for 15 seconds to evacuate the power of mac - that can help.

  • iMac won't restart or shut down after having been 10.11.5

    He said title. My iMac was fine before the update came through yesterday. I went to reboot tonight because the RAM used was realllllly high and I thought a solid reboot after update from yesterday could be a good thing (don't ask why - just my logic)... and surprise! -He has authorized the menu bar and leave viewfinder, but would not closed at all. I could always use the dock to load and use applications. I saw another thread that mentions deleting stuff from Wacom. I went and emptied all of my items found from Wacom. Still will not be closed. I have reset several times VRAM. I can do a forced shutdown, and he'll sleep ok. Activity monitor shows nothing super weird, even if it always shows Wacom and Tablet drivers running.

    Anyone else running into this? Or have an idea?

    Please?

    Hello..

    Safe Mode boot removes the system caches that can help after an OS X day or level.

    Upper left corner of your screen, click on the Apple  > Shut Down.

    After your Mac stops, wait 10 seconds, then press the power button.

    As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key. You must press the SHIFT key as soon as possible once you hear the startup tone, but not before.

    Release the SHIFT key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress indicator.

    Once you are in Mode without failure, return to the menu Apple . In the drop-down list, click: reboot

  • If I leave tabs open when I close Firefox then shut down PC, are the tabs available to hackers?

    I did not have this problem but someone at work warned me not to leave the tabs open when I stopped because the tabs open when the browser opens again... which is what I want, but she explained that open the tabs without having to re-enter passwords, so even if the PC is off hackers can get into the tabs already protected by. It makes no sense to me, but she is adamant, saying his bank account was wiped out because she didn't close her bank tab on its browser when the computer is shut down.

    If your computer is turned off, it cannot be hacked. In addition, you can set your preferences to not save passwords if you wish. But no, if your computer is turned off are not accessible (for obvious reasons). For better security, you can use a master password in Firefox or put a password on your PC if someone turns on it back, they need to put a password. Use a master password to protect stored logins and passwords

  • 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.
