Why has my laptop started to randomly stop before turning off

Original title: computer power questions

Why has my laptop started to randomly stop before turning off? I had no problem with this computer at all for more than a year. I tried to run all the updates available, but of course, it turned off before she finished. Sometimes it will run fine then others that it is a nightmare. can anyone help please? I would be very happy to help!

Hello

Could be heat related - try using a small fan to blow into the air intakes to see if that helps.
It is just like it loses power or stop it in the normal way?

Remove ALL power and reinstall all the memory cards and cables (both ends where possible).
in fact, remove and replace - don't do not just tight. Remove the dust bunnies and clean the
air vents. Check that fans are working (before and after opening the case). When your laptop on all the
You can do is to reinstall the memory and clean the vents (still may try to add a small fan as a
test).

This sounds like material so if the above does not help you then probably need the help of a
real computer store (not of leeks and glances at a Best Buy or other department stores) or the system

    MY VAIO LAPTOP(VGN-CR353) RANDOMLY STOPS AND TAKES MORE TIME TO START. SOMETIMES IT STOP WHEN STARTING

    It seems that the laptop may be overheating.  Are you sure there is enough air past for laptop?  Make sure that it is on a flat surface, with nothing to obstruct the ventilation openings.  Make sure that the vents and fans and heat sinks are free from dust - examine their blowing with compressed air (power of the system first, of course).  Depending on the laptop model, it may be relatively easy to blow off the dust with compressed air, or otherwise clean up things a bit.   Fans should be kept up well - only no right turn when being ripped off.  My Dell laptop has a removable fan (two small screws need to be removed) that can easily be blown.  This also allows access to the fins of the heatsink.

    Some laptops also have a removable filter that traps the dust and must be regularly inspected and cleaned.

    Are all the BIOS settings for the adjustment of the temperature, the value lower than the manufacturer's recommendations and the default values (you need to check the manual of your laptop for this).  Also make sure you run the latest version of BIOS (again, the manual of your laptop would have the details; the manufacturer's website should also have this information).

    The new App Store for El Capitan update has locked up my macbook pro.  Reboot got about 3/4 fact and the machine stops. Turned off the power and turn it on again for nothing doesn't.  How in my machine to begin troubleshooting?

    The problem is most likely an attempt to update a system malfunction prior it is probably a problem with your computer, not the El Capitan.

    Start by:

    Reset the PRAM and NVRAM on your Mac.

    MacIntel: Reset of the controller (SMC) system management

    Start in Safe Mode , and then re - start normally. It's slower that a normal start, so be patient.

    If you are unable to start;

    Reinstall El Capitan without erasing the drive

    Please make sure that you back up.

    1. Restart the computer. Immediately after that the chime hold down the command and R until the Utility Menu appears.
    2. Select disk utility, then click on the continue button.
    3. Select the withdrawal (usually Macintosh HD) entry of the volume in the list aside.
    4. Click first aid icon in the toolbar. Wait until the button is active, then click it.
    5. Quit disk utility and re-enter the Utility Menu.
    6. Select Reinstall OS X and click on the continue button.

    Also, see this tip for user: basic steps for the OS X upgrade.

    If this doesn't get you;

    Install Yosemite or El Capitan, from scratch

    Backup if possible before proceeding.

    Restart the computer. Immediately after the chime hold down the command and R buttons until the Apple logo appears. When the Utility Menu appears:

    Select utility disc in the Menu Utility, then click the continue button.

    When loading disk utility, select the volume (entered into withdrawal, usually Macintosh HD) from the list of devices.

    Click Delete in the main window of disk utility. A panel will fall.

    Define the type of Format Mac OS extended (journaled).

    Click on the apply button, then wait for the done button to activate and click on it.

    Quit disk utility and re-enter the Utility Menu.

    Select reinstall OS X and click on the continue button.

  • 2610 suddenly stopped to turn off ink

    Hello

    My 2610 all in one suddenly stopped to turn off ink.  The day before, it was working fine, then when I turned on the next day, he goes through the same motions, but no ink comes out.  I print in black only.

    Thanks for any help

    HI - go ahead and try following the steps described in this document.  It guides you through printing the diagnostic page should help pinpoint the problem.  If you see no black on the diagnostic page, it could be that the cartridge is empty or the nozzles are clogged.  To try to solve the problem with clogged nozzles, try the procedure described in this document.  If this does not resolve the problem, you will probably have to replace the cartridge (this is of course assuming you see no black on the diagnostic page.

    Hope that helps.

    Thank you

    Hi Mark,

    You've already tried this, but if not, it's definitely worth it.

    On some machines, the pilot for 11 series IMEI has been known to cause that kind of question of the judgment, so it may be worth trying an earlier version.

    You can use the following method to install an earlier version of the driver IMEI.

    Download driver IMEI on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp66001-66500/sp66228.exe

    Disable your wireless card (should be f12 ).

    Open your download folder and run the installer - it warns you that it is an earlier version, but simply continue.

    When finished, restart the laptop.

    If the computer shuts down correctly, turn on your wireless adapter and use the utility on the following link to prevent Windows 10 to update automatically the driver IMEI again.

  • Automatic scrolling of the list of favorites on the start menu to stop before you reach the bottom

    I open the start menu, point the mouse on the Favorites bar and keep the cursor under the small arrow pointing down at the bottom of the list of favorites, as well as the list of bookmarks automatically scrolls down. But after scroll down a number of bookmarks, automatic scrolling stops before reaching the bottom of the list of favorites, view the rest of the empty list. I removed a lot of unnecessary bookmarks in the Favorites folder in Documents and Settings, but this does not resolve the issue. I would like suggestions for this problem, which I have not come across so far. I ran CHKDSK disk cleanup and defragged the volume of disk hard, but in vain. I have Windows XP Pro SP 3 with IE8 installed on my computer.

  • HP laptop G72: Battery only charge while turned off.

    Hello, employees and others on the forum, I have a problem with my laptop currently battery. Are examples.

    -Does not load when turned on, but cool when turned off.
    -Port charger LED flashes between orange and white when it is off. (Although, when turned on the orange blink.)

    I tried the method of discharge. (Disconnect the battery and Charger AC/DC, hold the power button / stop for about 30 seconds, then plug the battery back in and re-clogging the AC charger.) I had a problem with other methods, like I can't turn on the computer without the battery. I actually had this for 4 years and the warranty is already dissipated and it still works very well, except for the battery, so I don't want to lose, so if you could help me fix my laptop, that would be great! Thanks in advance if the problem is resolved.

    4 years is about the max for laptop battery life. However, it should run/work with even without battery. You seem to have a defective power adapter - they wear out too.

    Get your full model number or product and use it here to find the model of necessary power for your laptop adapter. Even if they don't have in stock, you should be able to find a way... Amazon, eBay, etc.

  • HP Pavilion dv7-1269us stopped himself turn off reboot screen black

    My HP Pavilion dv7-1260us went 'pop' and turns off.

    I hit the power button. The LEDs (sound, WiFi, etc.) in line with the power button all came on but the screen stays black and the fan was running.

    I turned it off. I turned it on with the same results. I unplugged the AC and the battery. I repeated several times and the results have remained the same.

    With the battery and unplugged HQ, I held the button for 30 seconds. Re-installed the battery and AC with the same results. I have also repeated this process several times. I also did this procedure with only battery reinstalled with the same results.

    I opened the DVD player and inserted the CD 1 of 2 restore disks. Then I turned on the computer. The fire came what is on the DVD player door then spun it and the light went all the time that the screen was black. I repeated this process with the same results.

    I always get a black screen with all led on/autour lit keyboard lights and the fan runs whenever I try to start.

    In addition to the led lights is lit, a flashing white light is to the left of the "caps lock" key and a 2nd white flashing in between the "end" and "page up" keys every time.

  • Why the mouse does not disappear when captions are turned off?

    Hello!

    My owner like apparently not captions when I record my demonstrations, so I have disabled this option when I capture from my demo. However, I discovered that my mouse movement does not capture when the subtitles are disabled, which means that I have to activate the mouse for each slide. It's more annoying than catastrophic, but no one knows why this is happening and how can I prevent? I checked that "capture the mouse" is selected in the recording preferences. I even turned off and back on, nothing works. Is this a bug or user error? (I'm leaning towards option B).

    Thank you!

    Krista

    Hello

    I am at a total loss to explain why it happens. Have not really noticed myself.

    However, I might be able to ease the pain a little.

    I'm not sure it will work, but it can. After you save, select all of the slides in Storyboard mode or in the film. Then activate the mouse for each of them at a time. This part should work. I'm not sure, what if the movements of the mouse will be selected on registration. It may end up when the mouse is there, but you need to reset the coordinates for each slide. Ick!

    In this case, you could take a different point of view.

    Export captions as a Word document. Change the Word document and delete all the text in the legend. Then import them into empty on all of the legends. Then mount a legend and configure it as a transparent. The apply to all allows you to configure all the other legends in this way. It would still be there, but would be invisible. Can be less painful that way.

    Be sure to report the problem of mouse as a bug! The link is in my sig line.

    See you soon... Rick
