Im trying to follow this thread... Have you run Diag's on it, not a system memory test, FULL DIAGNOSTICS? 10-15 mins... you could have a thermal issue in a chip or chip set, the processor, memory chips. Or some component on the motherboard.
Honestly I would NEVER suggest running something full time like SAM on a laptop, if you?re a DJ yes... couple hours fine because it will handle it, but laptops were NEVER designed to dissipate heat efficently for 18+ hrs a day. Im certified on IBM's, CPQ/HP and Dell's the NUMBER ONE KILLER.. Use that laptop all day for months... and Mr Tech will be coming over to replace your motherboard, memory and processor. My new HP laptop, yeah is faster than any of my other machines, except my servers, but you can fry an egg on the back after 8 hrs of use. How old is the laptop? Have you called it in if its under warranty. Remember this, those Errors that Micro$oft throws out, aren't always accurate, sounds more like you have a thermal issue in a memory chip... did you try removing one chip, and run the test. Sorry if this is repeating as I only read this part of the thread since I chimed in yesterday Bill www.thexlive.com Where Music Lives... -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dj Liqid Touch Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2008 8:52 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [General-discussion] here is my proof (correcion) i really hate to post over and over again to the list with (dammit, its not working help me.... ) message well i plugged the laptop into the wall directly to bypass any power save settings it may be seeing by going into my battery backup unit. I ran the Memory Test and it ran for quite a while. I even checked the laptops battery life itself ( 104 hours in standby available ) The test ran for a good 10-15 minutes.............until the machine went blank again. Thats as far as i can get. No idea what else to do related to this mem test cause the machine wont stay on. I suppose i can give the machine to a guy i know who can test it for me but.... them im out one machine i need to use SAM grrrrrr!!! ----- Original Message ----- From: Dj Liqid Touch To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2008 8:31 AM Subject: Re: [General-discussion] here is my proof (correcion) machine is plugged into my APC batteryback up unit i checked the power Scheme settings and everything is set to NOT go into hibernate, power save or anything else. Its just set to run Ill try plugging it directly into the wall to bypass the APC unit all together. When booting into regular mode, it runs fine. It ran all night lastnight in regular after i had to restart cause the first test simply shut off the machine during testing. Ill see what i can do unless someone else has an idea this morning. ----- Original Message ----- From: Shon Elliott To: Dj Liqid Touch ; [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2008 8:20 AM Subject: Re: [General-discussion] here is my proof (correcion) Is it connected to AC Power when you do the test? If not, I would make sure it's on AC Power. You might also check the BIOS (CAREFUL) to see if there is some mode where you can shut off Power Saving while you run the test. If the machine only stays on for a minute 30 even when booting normal, I'd have it looked at. -- Sincerely, Shon Elliott Spacial Audio Solutions, LLC.
