Equium A100: Crisp & slows down sound while the use of CP's high

When I play a cd/dvd, or extract the contents of cd for laptop, or whatever it is which includes the use of the D: drive, the sound is all distorted and crunchy and slows down. also, the CPU usage is very high, and it won't let me write anything on disks.

This has happened a few months now, it was workin perfectly before hand and I've only had the phone since Christmas, so it is still under warranty. It's an equium A100 series.

I've been looking around on the forums and found athread on a similar problem but on a laptop satellite, and which was resolved by a new drive being installed because the original was defective. the link to this thread is:

http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=21308

so is that what someone had the same problem? does anyone know if a new hard drive would solve the problem on my laptop? and if not does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks for any help, dave.

Hello

Equium A100 is very similar to the Satellite A100. So maybe it's really a problem even as described in the other thread.

But listen David, before you send the laptop and want to replace the HDD try first to reinstall the OS from the recovery CD!

Try everything first format the whole HARD drive, erase the partitions and reinstall the OS.

If this does not help, it would be wise to check, if the same thing would happen with the new HARD drive!

  • Equium A100 Win XP PSAABE - Sound Jittery & slow start / running

    Equium A100
    PSAABE
    Windows XP

    Help please.

    I had a recurring injury that have begun to appear immediately after a Windows update Auto + reboot.
    Stutters sound on the PC (on any application) and is very nervous and the PC starts and runs very slowly.
    Anti-Virus Protection of Norton Protection Auto turns red (not sure of how it is important).

    Apparently, this American a not uncommon problem, but alas, I still have to find a thread that solves it.

    The way I used to work around the problem was to do a restore to an earlier date - which seemed to fix the problem for a few weeks.
    The problem started the summer and one for an update around October time, I found a restore wouldn't simply clear the problem.

    I have to adopted many solutions/suggestions as possible - sorting on the start-up procedure (MSCONFIG), the temptation of power, completely caught Norton off the coast (not), topped up audio drivers, re-flashed the bios...

    However, I am convinced the problem is with windows - when the PC starts I get really nervous sound on the windows welcome jingle - it comes before anything else does - looks like something is in the running.

    The PC was fine before that, I ran all the checks hardware/memory and all seem to work well.

    Any help gratefully received.

    Thank you

    Derek

    Very well!!! The great work mate!

  • Equium A100-147-glitch-pop-crack if the sound is muted

    Hello.

    I have an Equium A100-147 with Vista home Premium SP1 and 1 GB of RAM.

    Recently I get a glitch-pop-crack from time to time even if the audio output is cut.
    Have no idea what could be the cause?
    I'm more or less certain that everything is up-to-date.

    Thanks in advance.

    I never heard a question also and now I can t say what's the reason for this. :(

    You have the same problem on external speakers?
    What operating system do you use?

    Perhaps you need to update the audio driver you can find on the Toshiba site:

    I have a Toshiba Equium A100-306, which does not go beyond the BIOS screen. Last thing I did was delete the second partition on the hard drive and the boot configuration Winodws via DVD. Then he stopped display

    If I hit ESC on the post screen, I get a screen that says this: http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g232/Medabot_Metabee/BIOS_ERR.jpg

    Ive read that theres a method of emergency crisis of flashing, is possible to run it on this laptop?

    Thank you

    Hello

    This looks like a malfunction of the motherboard, you can enter in the setup of the BIOS for example? If Yes, load default settings then save & exit it.

    If you can t get into BIOS try remove the battery and the AC adapter at least an hour. Then connect the two again and try to start your laptop.

    He starts correctly now?

  • Equium A100-338 - Missing recovery Toshiba in the menu Wizard

    I have a Toshiba Equium A100-338 I need recovery to factory settings.
    I know I have to press f8 and go to the Toshiba Recovery Wizard.

    My problem is that this option is missing and has been replaced by 'Restore the whole Windows operating system'. When I click on this option, I get a generic message, saying that I have to restore from a restore CD.

    My question is, is it possible to manually start the recovery in the command prompt? The wizard needs to run a program. All I have to do is find this program. I know that I have the recovery partition (I used Ubuntu to recover files of the user, and should it upward).

    Hello

    Just a simple question: If you have problems to start the HARD drive recovery, why you n t use the Toshiba Recovery disk?

    It can also restore settings from the factory with all the drivers and tools, so it of the same wait it erases the entire HARD disk.

  • laptop computer becomes slow after a while of use and when the charger is connected, becomes normal.

    Hello

    I use HP Compaq Presario CQ62, Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit OS, 4 GB ram, Intel core i5 processor. It is a portable 4 year old. The battery was changed 8 months ago.

    Now, coming to the problem, my laptop will work very well for a few minutes at the start when I turn it on. After some time, the laptop everything becomes so slow it takes forever to work. This occurs when the power is not connected. If I connect power, less than a minute it starts to work faster. But the laptop would become very hot.

    This problem started when I updated my iPod. After update iPod, I had this problem even while the charger is plugged. Later, I changed the OS Win7 Home premium genuine to Win 7 Ultimate. (Pirates). I have run the genuine Antivirus, cleaned the registry and everything. The problem persists. Please help me with this topic.

    Thanks in advance

    -Kere

    kaaranjikere,

    So I checked the error you are getting, and it is not the battery do not, it is the power which is a failure and that includes everything for the power.

    So it is likely that something wrong with your motherboard.

    You will need to take the system to someone looking over everything.

    I would like to know how everything goes

    Nice day.

  • Color Laserjet 5550dtn: slow down communication with the configuration of the printer

    My Color Laserjet 5550dtn suddenly lost the capacity of its network - as evidenced by the disappearance of the network address in the printer display panel.   I replaced the jetdirect 615n card, and I could then access the installation of I/O again and set the address of the printer that it had before (192.168.1.106)

    The printer seems to work OK, but when I try to access the printer via my browser, using its address, screens appear, but after a very long delay - sometimes up to two or three minutes.   Similar delays occur every time I have change the Access tab.

    I put the mask 255.255.255.0, and the DNS server on 192.168.1.1 (the address of the router system) and have disabled other protocols except TCP/IP.

    I don't remember the exact settings I had before, so is there anything else I may have missed that causes this extremely slow response?

    Any help would be appreciated

    Sorry for not answering before, but my wife is damaged the problems of column vertebral too take precedence over all the rest for a while.

    I started to have more problems, leading to no communication via the ethernet card at all and only work with USB connection.   I bit the bullet and bought another printer of opportunity - without the cartridges of ink, which works very well, and commicates quickly to local net address.

    I saved some of the components of the old machine, so the expense was not so bad really.

    The original machine was always a little suspicious, but it was also used, maybe, I had a bad Control Board.

    Thanks for the useful suggestions.

  • Slow down and mix the effect works only together

    Hello

    I have 2 footages from 2 different cameras that recorded the same event and I use Premiere CS6.

    I each sequence of a video track and slow them down to 40%. So I want to use the mixing effect, so in the last third of a scene, the other comes into play, since the camera 2 was set for a close shot.

    However, although mix effect works fine with scenes that are in the original speed, I couldn't make it work when the speed is changed! It seems that it goes with a totally different clip - that exists in the timeline and is in the same way that I wanted to stage 2 to blend.

    For the moment I change the speed setting (or time-remapping), loses the stage 2, in which I applied the effect mix, is the reference for scene 1.

    Any thoughts on how mix slowed the scenes without having to export the first slowed then merger of the output files?

    Thank you!

    I see that there is certainly a problem. I put one clip on another and used the mix to 50%. Worked well. I changed the two clips to 40%, and the clip with the effect looks like it's on the frame to hold on to the last image. A bug for sure.

    Perhaps you'd be happier with a cross dissolve transition between the two elements? At least until the bug is fixed. I suggest that you put in a bug report. I'll do the same.

  • Envy 14: HP Envy running very hot (slows down periodically during the video)

    Hello

    I would like to get information on how to properly clean my HP Envy 14 laptop fans, number of product B4B14UA #ABA. I tried to use boxes of air through the ventilation openings, but I'm able to accomplish turns too fast the fans. I'm unable to remove dust. It is a laptop I've owned for about 2 years.

    I suspect that the fans/vents are blocked because the winds blow warm air and the base of the laptop is almost too painful to sit on my legs. The upper part of the keyboard runs hot along the strip of aluminum above the function keys.

    Although the use of the battery for several hours, now it takes an hour, running minimum settings due to the heat. In addition, while playing video, the computer will freeze and cause the video to stutter occasionally. I tried a computer laptop cooling pad, but it doesn't seem to be the problem.

    So, in summary, I would like to know whether or not to clean my laptop fans would void its warranty (if it still exists) and whether or not fans of cleaning would be possible for a layman.

    Thank you for your time.

  • Equium A100-549: UK keyboard button game problem using OS language NL

    Hi all

    I have a bit of a problem, I can not solve my self.
    I have a toshiba Equium A100 549 and changed operating system from XP home to XP home NL UK.
    I did format all HARD disks because of Mayor virus problems.

    I reinstalled all the cd drivers Toshiba but stil some of the keys on the keyboard do not work good...
    I noticed that some of the keys are on different locations like on a Dutch keyboard.

    I woul want to set them like they belong on the way in which toshiba set them, with the same 3min.from on the keys...

    What do I do? Thanks in advance,

    > I reinstalled all the cd drivers Toshiba but stil some of the keys on the keyboard do not work good...
    > I noticed that some of the keys are on different locations like on a Dutch keyboard.

    The point is that you have installed windows OS in the language of the Netherlands, but the laptop uses the UK keyboard layout.
    Therefore, change to a different language keyboard layout if the keyboard is set to the language of the Netherlands, then you should change this to English UK!

    Go to control panel-> regional and Language Options-> languages-> text services and input languages tab, click details

    There you can add or change the language
