Howe can software shutdown XP

[wilco]

Hello,

Can anyone tell my howe it possible that one program (picture editing)
is capable of shutting down windows xp on a note bookvery fast as if
it thinks that the battary is down so it has to shut down.
While an other editing program that uses the same amont of processor
speed is working without a problem
It is a brand new notebook Duo core.

Open System Properties, Advanced tab, "Startup and Recovery" "Settings"
button, and turn off "Automatically restart". This won't prevent the
crashes, but you can then use the error messages to possibly solve the
problem.

Doesn't sound like a system crash to me. Sounds more like the picture
editing program is a resource hog that drains the battery. Picture
editing (esp movie picture editing) will hammer the graphics card and
the hard disk esp if you don't have enough RAM. You don't say what
the 'other editing program' is, but if it's word processing, that uses
a fraction of the resources of a graphics-editing program. The
processor speed isn't the only indicator.

I would suggest trying a different picture editing program and seeing
what happens, though if you're a professional picture editor, your
options might be limited.

Dear joe

It isn't a crash it is a shutdown, so there are no eror masages and no
automatic restart

Other programs give no problem, but i like to use the program that
gives the problem.

Then it sounds very much like a problem with the program, not the PC
or the operating system, so you might be in the wrong newsgroup. have
you looked on the program manufacturer's website for tech support?

The nearest thing I have heard to this was a problem with the firmware
for a recent Palm handheld, where once you switched on the camera the
battery would run flat in hours instead of days, even when you
remembered to switch the camera off. Palm had to issue a firmware
patch.

two questions: does this program really run the battery down, or just
somehow convince Windows the battery has run down? I presume it's the
former than the latter.

secondly: what the heck is this program anyway?

IT is Lightroom from Adobe, adobe support sais its a hardware problem.
But only Lightroom has the problem.

Even when it is not on battary power the notebook shuts down
The program doesn't really run the battary down. But it shuts down as
if it is on low battary

I put 'adobe lightroom battery warning' into Google and found a
posting in the Adobe forum complaining about how buggy the current
version of Lightroom is (the only version in fact - 1.0!) and how it
makes the poster's system slow to a crawl and crash. Adobe have told
him too that it's a hardware problem - this to a guy who runs
Photoshop CS3, Bridge CS3 and Dreamweaver with no problems.

Every other program works fine on your PC, and the problem only starts
when you run Lightroom version 1.0?

Hardware problem my ass.

The only thing that wil help is a patch from Adobe. Welcome to the
wacky world of pro-bono beta testing.

I tried Lightroom, and it uses the processor and RAM
heavily. After 90 minutes of use, the CPU temperature was
above recommended maximums. If I were you I would check to
see if what you are experiencing is an overheating problem
cause by the the CPU and RAM intensive task.

My notebook is shutting down after a few minutes while using
lightroom.
But in your case it is actually a problem with the software, the
software is overheating the processor.
And why isn't your system shutting down or slowing down to prevent
overheating?

Hi Wilco,

I don't know about the OP, but in my case, I have 'safety'
features like that turned off. I sometimes work with large
database that will overheat the processor. If I let the
computer shutdown then I couldn't work with the databases.

It turned out to be a problem with de contact between the processor
and the coling unit, the contact pasta was not good.
The processor was to hot and turned off the notebook

Hi Wilco,

Thanks for the update. There is a little FreeWare program
called 'SpeedFan' which has always done a very good job of
monitoring temperatures for me.
