Try to charge your nuvi properly and full, or for at least 2hours before registering it. If the source of power connected to your nuvi is not strong enough, the nuvi might go off during an operation. Secure that the battery is well charged, then the source supplying the power is good enough to supply your nuvi with power before starting an operation.
Hope this helps.

Im not getting any signal on my garmin nuvi 255w

If your garmin nuvi 255w in not getting any signal try to reset the unit by holding the power off/on button for about 15 seconds, that way it will restart the unit and it will start to work properly, but if it does not still work, then you need to disconnect the gps device and take it out of the car to an area where the gps will directly face the sky. That way it will receive signal. Or you can connect an external antenna to it.

That should do the job.
