Computer Toshiba laptop turns off after 3 seconds

I can't understand what is happening with my computer, but I hope that this information will help you. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

There are 3 computers involved. One is a Toshiba laptop Satellite L300D Vista I had in December 2008 and the other two are Toshiba Satellite M110 XP portable computers that we got in December 2006 I think.

The problem started with the Vista. It stops just one day and when I tried to turn it back on, it would show the Toshiba screen for a few seconds and then die. He was the life of the battery. Tried everything, could not, so I have restored the default computer. After it's on, I loaded my music in my external hard drive and a few days later, he crashed again. I restored it again and load my music back in, and then a few days later, he crashed again. Now when I try to restore it, it does not accept the restore disc. The hard drive flashes orange several times and the disc not spin fast enough to start doing anything.

I decided to forget the vista computer, I had a year and a half... And started using my xp computer is a few years old. I've ONLY used to browse Craigslist (after I started using it instead of my Vista computer for a few days, after that the Vista) and not load any music in there. This computer has worked since then, but about a week after the death of my vista, my xp now has the same problem. It turns on for a while and then turns off immediately. Since they are the two Toshibas, they can use the same chargers so I would use the charger that comes with the vista or another, that I got off eBay a few years ago. Been using two wires forever and then everything suddenly this question not sure that it of a problem with the power or not, but one thing I noticed was my vista computer would make a rattling noise from inside the computer only when has been plugged in the charger from eBay, and I noticed my xp making the same sound as that connected with the charger from eBay just before you die too.

My brother also has a toshiba satellite m110 xp laptop, and we tried a few things with the vista computer to try to make it work. A site offered to take the RAM and try to turn it on. Nothing that's happened. We took the ram from my brothers computer which works very well and put it in the vista. Nothing happened. We took the hard drive from her computer and put it in the vista and the computer DID start up (which was great cause I've not seen on in about a month) but it started up to a blue screen. Put us the hard drive in my brothers xp and the computer was working fine... For a few hours. Now the computer will not start correctly and we are trying to restore his computer but couldn't find the restore disc. Her hard drive was in my computer literally 15 seconds and his computer is now toast.

I don't care about my laptop toshiba satellite m110 xp, but I want a solution for my toshiba laptop satellite L300D vista, and I also want to get my brothers running again because I ruined. I don't know much about computers, but my guess is that there is nothing wrong with the ram or hard drives, but something else in my vista computer that is ruining the hard drives. That still doesn't explain why my XP computer is turn off after a few seconds suddenly well. The only thing that the Vista and my XP have in common, is that they used the same power cords (which always worked fine)

If anyone can help me out or point me in the right direction, which
would be AMAZING! Thank you very much for your time

If you have problems with the Toshiba recovery media, you will need to contact Toshiba.

It's the Toshiba recovery process.

Each manufacturer has their own particular recovery process.

And as it is now failing to do recovery required, they would be the best people to contact about this.

    As the title says, my laptop turns off after that it lags behind. He accused the sound of something that fate of my speakers started his strange. Sound like a blur with tell them no matter what.

    You mean "goes out", that the computer shuts down? If so, it looks like his material for me.

  • System does not boot up... message is... "" peripheral USB on the detected... current situation system turns off after 15 seconds.

    I recently bought a new golf gps device and connected to my desktop pc to register. After unplug his computer m USB cable I can't start my computer.

    whenever I start it the pc his usual routine, but then I saw the following message... USB device to the system detected. System turns off after 15 seconds.l

    Fifteen seconds after the system shuts down. It wiil also not afford to start or access the safe mode, the program installation or any other type of recovery mode, I could access normally. It will also not recognize my Win XP installation disc. I guess it's because of the configuration of the BIOS which accesses the hard drive before the CD rom drive.

    The problem was obviously created by the golf gps USB cable but I can't find a way to get the system to boot so I can find a way to eliminate the problem.

    Thanks for any help that anyone can provide. I am running WinXP Sp3

    Hi PAULARUNNELS,

    ·         What happens when you try to start in the Advanced startup options?

    ·         You receive the same error?

    ·         You external devices connected now?

    Try the following.

    Method 1: Disconnect external devices not essential, connected to the computer and restart the computer.

    Method 2: Load default BIOS (Basic Input\Output System) settings, and then restart the computer. Make sure that you have the CD drive set as first boot device. Check the settings by consulting the manual or call the manufacturer to do so.

    Note: Be careful when you change the BIOS settings. The BIOS interface is designed for advanced users, and it is possible to change a setting that can prevent your computer from starting properly.

    Method 3: If you are unable to start on one of the advanced startup options, and then you can follow this article.

    I'm just why my laptop turn off itself, because today ' today I was connected to Skype, I was talking with my family, but all of a sudden it turned off I don't know what is happening... can you please tell me what's happening.. .thank you

    Another thing is this may be WHAT BIOS is configured to shut down the PC at the same time. Which battery is low or adapter will be disconnected, and then PC also turns off. Some malware can also turn off PC, in order to check this run full scan with your anti-virus and see if something might detect.

  • Satellite L300 turn off after 30 seconds

    Hello

    I have a problem with my L300. When I turn on my laptop it works only 30 seconds and then turn off.
    It does not matter when I go into the BIOS or not, I have the same result. I thought it's a battery, but when I asked another good one the situation was the same. The two diodes (batteries and AC adapter) only lights up.

    Where can be a problem?

    Hello

    In my opinion this has nothing to do if your laptop is new or old. It can always happen, because it s electric parts. ;)

    As Luke has already written that you must contact the ASP in your country, if this happens also on BIOS. If your laptop is so new, you will get a new mother or any other free game card. :)

  • screen on my Philips 109 B 6 monitor suddenly began to turn off after 15 seconds of inactivity in my operating system to Windows 7

    For four years, I had your desktop ThinkCentre with Windows 7 as operating system and a B 109, 6 of Philips monitor. A few days ago the screen started to go dark after 15 seconds of inactivity, whereas previously it took several minutes of idle time to do this. The screen can easily be brought back to life by pressing a button on my Logitech Classic Keyboard 200, but it is annoying and frustrating to have to do this or to continue to press an arrow key to stop the screen to go dark.

    I'm not aware of having changed parameters except recently, in a vain attempt to solve this problem on the basis of proposals on various Web sites. I'm aware of have installed recently all of the new programs. There is some automatic updates of Windows 7, and I was wondering if one of them is the cause of the problem again.

    All suggested diagnoses or treatments?

    Chances are it's time to replace your screen with a modern.

    However, first try this:

    1. Start the Globe
    2. Type Power Options in the text just popped up box
    3. Click on change plan settings

    Check the setting "turn off the display.

    Thank you

    Hello Melv

    Remove the battery, connect your laptop to the power adapter only and try to turn on the L10. If this lets wait a few minutes and put the battery in place and watch if the laptop works as usual.

    Also, check the screen saver settings.

    Right-click on the empty desk

    Select Customize

    Select the screen saver at the bottom right

    Set it to None and uncheck the box "on resume, display the logon screen"

    Does this solve the problem?

  • Pavilion MC m8430f - turns off after 2 seconds then on tip of 2 dry and resumes the cycle

    I had checked power and it's good.  Also, if I remove the connector with 2 black and 2 yellow wires, power stays on but the computer does not start.

    The computer repair place said it was a bad mother, but I can't see the damage on the motherboard and think it's just a thermal switch on the motherboard which is bad, I could go around.

    Have you ever heard of this problem before and could I verify further?

    Found the problem.

    I took everything out, including the inner workings of power.  The power supply has a fan who was working, however when I pulled the plug and power circuit, it locks so slightly.

    That's all.  Apparently, the greater resistance made circuit think fan was bad and it does not think that the power supply fan is bad, in this case the circuit.

    Good to know for others in the future.  Saved me a lot of money.

    P.S. A computer repair place told me that the motherboard was bad, glad I checked again.

  • HP DV6-6B25TX turn off after 10 to 15 seconds, regardless of the power of the battery or power supply

    Hello

    MY DV6-6B25TX is cutting off after 10-15 seconds, regardless of the battery power or AC power.

    Here's the complete scenario of what happened in recent weeks:--

    Two weeks back I was using the laptop with the power adapter is plugged in for charging, the battery got charged up to 99% then it stopped charging and display the battery icon text, "plugged in, not charging".

    A return of the week, the battery was 20%, after plugging in the charger, always the same message "Plugged in, no charging current".

    Now the laptop does not meet the key power when the battery is inserted.

    If I remove the battery and back again, it starts without pushing the power button and turns off after 10 seconds, well before Windows starts.

    She stops even on the Bios screen, OS is not definitely the question.

    When I plug in charger and press the power button / stop, the same thing, i.e. starts and shutts off after 10 to 15 seconds, regardless of the BIOS or Windows startup screen.

    I removed the ram and but again, but the problem still persists.

    Also there is no issue of overheating due to dust, as I've barely used the laptop for a few hours, the phone is about 6 months and under warranty.

    Please advice ASAP.

    Thanks in advance.

    Honestly, something prevents the battery charge. Computer laptop closing seconds after that reinsert the battery is a good indication the battery just is not getting charged. This could be a battery failure, charger, port, or in rare cases of charge motherboard.

    Since it's under warranty, I recommend you contact HP support that there is no easy solution for this on the forums. It's a hardware problem.

  • How to restore my computer toshiba laptop out-of-box state?

    A few days ago I received a notification window report a problem with my operating system (although it's practically new) in my laptop Toshiba Satellite 15.6 "3 GB 320 HD. After not being able to open ALL the files in my office (ex: icon workstation), task bar (the ex icon) or even start menu (e.g. Control Panel), I decided to restore my laptop to an earlier configuration, when the problem was not present. At the end of the restore process, I received an error message. I restarted my laptop again and the problem continues (not being able to open the files, applications, or programs). I then decided to restore my laptop with the option of deleting is not my current data. Out of 47 process had to be done, my set up spun without progressing to the #3 / 47 (display of SMA - I think). Although I was warned not to disrrupt the process, I forced my laptop turned off after 30 minutes.

    Now, when I try to boot my laptop, I get a message that my computer is preparing for first use; When I get to the 'Welcome' screen, my session runs without procedure. After forcing my laptop off and restart my computer several times, I left my laptop computer spinning during the night and when I woke up, I could choose, "Administrator" or "guest user". When I click on "Administrator", a screen will appear indicating that I don't have permission to enter this environment. When I select "Guest user", I have to enter my username and password. Although I never created a password for this laptop, I'm not allowed to login without password.

    I am now trying to restore my computer laptop out-of-box settings, but when I try to hold F8 at startup, I don't have the option to select the recovery settings, as I already did when I tried to restore my laptop to an earlier configuration.

    For Toshiba, you press and hold "0" while turning on the computer...

  • Equiium series A - maintains turns off after 20 minutes

    My laptop turns off after about 20 minutes of use. I checked for dust and clean battery etc. Any other suggestions? It has been suggested that I have to find and fix bugs in C drive but I don't know how - as any help much appreciated.

    Is what model laptop?

    Dust in the heat sink is often the cause.
    It can also be caused by a dry heat pipe (liquid escaped), or dried up CPU thermal grease or a failed fan.

    Or its possible that the power adapter is faulty, or she cannot provide enough amps, or a power adapter non - Toshiba is used.

  • Satellite A30 turns off after a few minutes (set temp)

    Anyone know if there is a temp for the A30 laptop parameter. My laptop turns off after a few minutes or alternative suggestions

    Thank you

    Hi Waseem,

    Dust accumulation is not in the fans themselves, but in the space between the fans and the CPU radiator, where it is trapped by the matrix of cooling.

    The technique of using a hose of vacuum cleaner against the fan grids is designed to suck the dust outside in front of the fans without having to dismantle the radiator.

    Obviously, you have just as much suction as possible in order to remove any dust, it is therefore important to isolate grids of aspiration air with a cloth.

    Kind regards

    Turn is very likely a hardware problem and in your case, most likely an overheatng issue. Repaired by the manufacturer or a local service company that specializes in laptop computers (avoid the Geek Squad and any other department store; they are all the terrible).
