There is a New problem to solve,

My Laptop shut down on it own, this occurs when I have too much programs running at the same time.

I hear the fan blow with a high sound before the Laptop give up on me. It is very annoying especially when you are doing something that is timely.

It doesn't give any error message, no warning, just goes off like NEPA.

Please any Idea on what I can do.

"I hear the fan blow with a high sound b4 d laptop giv up on me" cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy grin grin

Sorry!!
But i think maybe u should restrict the no of programs that ur pc runs at a time especailly if it has low memory and capacity, other wise scan the syatem for viruses!!

This from Onyegbula might also help

"go to your control panel=>performance & maintenance=>administrative tools=> double click on services and scroll down to rpc(remote procedure call) double click on it & select recovery on d 3 options where u'll fiind "restart computer" select "take no action"instead. on all 3 options."

Or check the fan and clean it if it has too much dust.

But do the fan first.
I made the mistake to reprogramm my own.
I had saved nothing and everything got lost for nothing.

Re: Why Does My PC (XP OS) Shut Itself Down? by raldsfield(m): 8:57pm On Jul 02, 2006
the operating system is XP

mean while cleaning the fan will involve unscrewing the Laptop. maybe I should have even mentioned the make

It is a Toshiba satellite pro,

I only have a few pages up and listen to music with my messenger. I don't think that is much.

Thanks for the Ideas I will try them out and inform you if they work.

If u can open d laptop, bridge d CMOS(BIOS) batt to drain its effect on d board, disconnect d HDD, floppy drive & CD drive. then power it on while d batt is still bridged 4 like 1.5mins. then copple it back & go back to setup when it's abt booting & set all d necessary setings 4d laptop, save changes & alow it to boot. If dis prob still continue try to change d momory chip, clean d fan & apply some pears baby oil in d joint of d fan. while applying d oil be very careful & make sure it doesnt spill.
Re: Why Does My PC (XP OS) Shut Itself Down? by Ashiwaju(m): 1:04pm On Jul 03, 2006
Blow or repair the Fan and u are back, up and running!

When you are done with that we 'll go from there.

Sorry i have not replied this since to tell you what has been going on.

There are too many screws behind the laptop, and I don't want to mess things up. So am leaving it will send for repairs if things get worst.

Re: Why Does My PC (XP OS) Shut Itself Down? by nareshgp: 3:15am On Aug 09, 2006
u have to be specific, what error message(s) do u get? does the machine power down immediately an installation is initialized or it brings up a BSOD ( Blue Screen Of Death), dumping physical memory , blah blah.

Hey, can I get som help please, this is really important.
Often while I am online I get error messages which bring up a Blue Screen and says beginning dump of physical memmory. And after that it tells me that the dump had been completed.
How do I solve this problem ??
Can someone please help me with this, ?
Re: Why Does My PC (XP OS) Shut Itself Down? by Jalal(m): 12:40pm On Aug 09, 2006
@Naresh u get the blue screen when un are online? Please elaborate on that, how come?
Re: Why Does My PC (XP OS) Shut Itself Down? by nareshgp: 2:51am On Aug 10, 2006
yes i get it when i am online.
it just happens when i browse on the net.
suddenly i get the blue screen and it says:

STOP
(here is often a problem written, for example "NFTS_FILE_SYSTEM" or "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" ) its not just these 2, there are lots of them,
and in the end it tells me:
beginning dump of physical memory.
dump completed.

so,do u understand what i mean ? i hope u do, cuz it is tooo much now
Re: Why Does My PC (XP OS) Shut Itself Down? by Neoteny(m): 12:42pm On Aug 10, 2006
hmm. methinks wen u have such error messages in the blues screen of death it means u have irq conflits somewhere, or intefering memory addresses. serious wahala there, fella. try booting booting in safe mode and do a system restore.

ur notebook shuts down and restarts? sounds like brontok/rontokbro to me. im infected too by a new variant (brontok q) and is hell to completely disinfect. if u are sure its not hardware or other reasons causing the restarts just install brontok washer 1.5. google it, or check www.softpedia.com.
Re: Why Does My PC (XP OS) Shut Itself Down? by Jalal(m): 1:49pm On Aug 10, 2006
Yeah Naresh try out wat Neoteny has offered and get back with the results ok?
Re: Why Does My PC (XP OS) Shut Itself Down? by rootbuoy: 4:24pm On May 07, 2009
Is either your O.S is currupt or there is a hard ware conflict, try re installing the OS, If same trouble shoot the hardwares
Re: Why Does My PC (XP OS) Shut Itself Down? by ksyworld: 4:46pm On May 07, 2009
yo! jal,

the bottom line is VIRUS. try formating the system. When a virus infects a system, once activated, it attaches itself to other files and replicates itself thereby consuming memory space and jamming the system. your best bet since your system can't stay on is to reformat and carryout a clean install. and be carefull in the future.

ksy.

Just a lot of other Techies have said, It can be anything , ranging from Virus attack, Registry issues, Fan related issues as well.

Observe and note what happens, Its always best to know what happens before the system restart or shutdown.
