    I'll have to trun my computer on and off for window at startup and then it stops a lot

    Hello

    Is there an error message? If so, what would you say? If this isn't the case, then you probably have a stop initiated by the hardware to prevent overheating damage to the system. If this is the case, can help clear the vents and intake fans / exhaust so that clean the dust bunnies (desktop systems). Also make sure that the CPU cooler is not clogged and that all fans are working properly. With laptops, a cooling pad can help.

  • Dv7-3165dx notebook computer unexpectedly shuts off when the battery is low

    Dv7-3165dx notebook computer unexpectedly shuts off when the battery is low. Even at 17%.

    This gets really annoying, that I keep losing jobs! Before it used to give me a warning and then Hibernate. Now there is no warning and it turns off without saving anything.

    Help!

    The laptop is a year old.

    I already ran the diagonsitic battery and it said the battery was good.

    OK, I think I finally figured it by changing power options, and I think that the way you reset the battery also helped.

    Here are the parameters:

    reserve battery level (this is when the popup will appear).

    10%

    low battery (this is when the low battery action will be performed).

    8%

    critical battery level (my computer would die at this point.)

    7%

    low battery action: sleep, sleep (this customize to your liking).

    battery low notification: on (hold on).

    critical battery action: sleep, sleep (my computer died already in criticism.)

  • Satellite series A turn off for the game Command and Conquer 3

    Hi all

    This happened to me twice. While I was relax play skirmish Command and Conquer 3, computer laptop turns off suddenly. I was running an external power supply and the battery was full. What is even more strange, it was impossible to next turn to the until I removed the battery and plugged in.

    I bought this game around March and was able to beat the 3 campaigns without these attractions.
    I suspect that this may be caused by overheating, because after the laptop is pretty hot. What do you think? I bought it in January.

    In my Office I occasionally removed the fan and radiator vacuum, there accumulates a lot of dust sometimes. It is not easy in the case of laptops. Any suggestions? See you soon.

    Hello

    You should do a bios update, because I had a similar problem with my A100 and after updating the bios to the version the most recent (5.60) I had no problem more. Maybe it helps.
    The other thing is, if you have a ventilation system which is clobbed with dust, then you should take a container with compressed air (you can get it in every electronic market/store) and gently lead some air to breath through the ventilation holes. (like 2 seconds. Wait, then wait 2 seconds and so on; just make short sounds :))
    Then, ventilation must be clear.
    Otherwise bring your machine to a service partner for a checkup of material because some loose cables inside the machine could probably be a reason that the machine feeds not correctly on...

  • Computer will turn off when the PXI chassis is turned off

    Hello

    I realized that my computer is shut down properly if I disable my chassis PXI-1036, until the computer is turned off. Is this a normal behaivour?

    As I remember, the chassis PXI-1036 must be turned on until the computer is power on, and I think that maybe on turn it off I have to follow the same procedure.

    Thanks a lot for your advice,

    Hector

    The chassis must be on anytime on the PC is.  Then it turn on before the PC and turn it off after the PC.

    This is because the chassis is an extension of the PC's PCI bus, so he expects everything to be available all the time the PC is powered on, as would be a PCI expansion card.

  • Is a PCI-6120 card in a computer with linux useful for the analog output?

    We have a PCI-6120, and we want to use in a computer with linux OS, to the analog inputs and analog outputs.  I have downloaded the driver NOR-DAQmx Base 3.2 for linux, and in the file README.txt only analog input is mentioned for this Council. It is possible to use this card PCI-6120 in linux, with output and analog input computer?

    Best regards

    Hey, Gallas,.

    This line in the README file simply refers to the PCI-6120 by its more popular, analog input subsystem (given that it is a simultaneous sampling device, the AI is the most commonly used subsystem). But NEITHER-DAQmx for Linux does not have the same limitations NOR-DAQmx base has. In other words, it supports the ability of analog output on the PCI-6120.

    Kind regards

  • Computer not stay awake for the scheduled task

    System wakes up to the task at the right time, but falls asleep almost immediately after starting the task.  Power management is set to put the computer to sleep after 20 minutes, but eventlog shows the alarm system at 01:59 for the scheduled task and to sleep at 02:02.

    Am running Vista Home Basic SP2

    Excellent.  I am pleased to learn that the problem is essentially solved with only a little extra configuration of the task remaining.

    I am happy that I was able to help.  It was my pleasure.

    Thanks for the comments, and we do know that it worked.  This can help other people with the same problem.

  • I bought DreamWeaver license. Now, I have to change because I bought a new computer. I leave for the new?. If so do I do?

    I bought DreamWeaver license.

    Now, I have to change because I bought a new computer.

    I leave for the new?. If so do I do?

    If you're talking about earlier versions of the creative cloud, on the old computer, select help > deactivate before you install on the new machine to make sure that you have at least 1 of your 2 available license activations.

    If you have a CC subscription, you have still 2 activations. If you hit your limit go to help > Sign Out on the old machine, then when you install the CC desktop application, you will automatically be logged on the new machine.

  • Using your computer to video processing for the web

    Hello

    I've heard of some people, I really trust and respect that we should never use your video server for any other purposes other than the video work.   They say that if you are using other applications, including the use of the Internet, it is systematically to mess things up in the long run.

    I want to do the right thing.  But I have to admit, it's SO convenient to be able to encounter a problem in PrPro and just go online here and ask.

    What should I do more?  They respect the point of view of the dedicated video machine?

    Thank you

    Matt Dubuque

    Matt,

    Which can spoil things is the first of all the games and second Microsoft Office. Internet is not a problem. Many other programs cause any problems either.

    I'll give you an example. On my video machine, I have several versions of the workshop of the Master Collection and Production. When I need to update the reference PPBM, I need to access my G-mail with bid forms. I need to download the submitted data and files with Filezilla, store on a server, as well as another system to import them in the Excel worksheet. Save the worksheet again on the server, then the video machine change the pages with a few VBS scripts, edit them in Dreamweaver and download them again on the Web site, including updated graphics to date with Filezilla. To view these pages, I use IE, Chrome and FF on my video machine and perform the optimizations with Firebug and PageSpeed.

    In addition, I sometimes use TeamViewer to help others in my video machine for the simple reason that it has enough real estate screen with two monitors to easily see the computer on the other side. I've no problem with this kind of applications on the video machine.

    So, don't worry about it.
