valcs :
I have a weird problem. With my Asus U56e win7 laptop. It keeps shutting down when it is cold in the room. Ii i want it to run for a longer time i have to run some benchmark or processor testing utilities. Then it " warms" up and does not shut down until it cools again. The shutdon is random it is no trigered by a concrete temp. I tried to boot from ub key Min Linux, but that one restarted 3-4 min after bootup. Does anyone have an idea what is going on here? Thank you.
I think I might have the same problem. Here's a description of the things that's happened in the last month or so.
I first noticed problems with wifi. Then I noticed problems with rebooting and seemingly random intervals. I found a video on youtube that suggests wifi may be fixed by pulling out the card and putting it back in - this seems to have worked. It's been a long time since my wifi has stopped working, but i'm still getting the reboots.
I've noticed that the reboots happen straight after power on more so than after the computer is running for a while. Specifically, I've noticed that the longer it is on, the more stable or the less the reboots occur. I had thought it was related to X11, but the reboots when X11 is not running.
Reboots occur regardless if on power or battery.
Last night was particularly interesting. I didn't get any reboots at all. I suspect this was because one of my larger partitions required a scan after not being scanned for 31 days. I'd had skipped this the day before because I was testing out theories related to the rebooting, today I just wanted to use the Laptop so I let it run for about 20 minutes. I didn't get a reboot the entire night - I was watching online videos all night, which kept the cpu going.
This made me think that it has something to do with the cold weather. This would coincide with the onset of cold weather about a month or so ago which is when the reboots started.
I'm not a hardware guy, but I figure, if there was a fracture in any of the soldering on the MB, in cold weather this crack could enlarge enough to prevent electrons from crossing the gap, causing a fatal reboot, whilst in warmer conditions, the soldering expands closing the gap.
That's all I got.
I know for a fact that lowering the resolution wont help me, nor turning off my wifi, as the machine has reboot when the iwlwifi module is not loaded (The wifi driver).
Has there been any updates on this? I'm going to need this for some courses i'm doing and also for some art/craft stuff. Maybe it's time to get a new one? Which would suck as it's perfectly fine!
). It was working better but still shot down time to time.
