Equium A100 - error NMI with pen drive

The Toshiba laptop works fine until I have install a USB key.

When a player is pushed into the laptop, a blue screen is displayed right path specifying the following: -.

Hardware malfunction
Call your provider of support material
NMI: Parity Check/Memory Parity Error
The system is shut down

I tried various pen drives and all have the same effect. I even changed the system memory, hard drive and reinstalled Windows Vista.
I've been on google and people related to the problem of the motherboard, but not sure it can be if the problem occurs only with a USB plug. If I plug in a USB mouse, the system is fine.

Also memtest can't find any errors.

Look forward to your ideas on this.

Hello

The error message _NMI: Parity Check / Memory Parity Error_ sound more like a problem with the hardware as a software related issue.
I searched and studied a bit in the Microsoft Knowledge base and found this article:

+ Hardware malfunction results in system error message.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/222973/en-us/

Microsoft said that this problem could be related to different hardware issues such as RAM malfunction for example.
If you have changed the RAM modules and the problem persists then a problem of memory slot motherboard might be possible.

You should also check the BIOS settings. By default the BIOS.
You can also try to update the BIOS if a newer BIOS is available.

Good luck

    What does not work? You are not able to install the driver or the slot not reading cards?

    On the page of the Toshiba driver are placed 2-conductor. Be sure you use the right one.
    Plug then the good card in the slot and then try to install the driver.

    But what do you have on the laptop? Did you install the new OS? If yes then check the instruction install driver from the Toshiba page?
    I've installed several times the OS manually on my Satellite and I have always followed the instructions.
    It's important document and if you install the drivers manually you need to follow this guideline.

  • Equium A100-338 display has stopped working

    Hello

    I have exactly the same problem on my Equium A100-338 loaded with Vista.
    The display has stopped working (he went to a poorly lit black screen) after I had rebooted my machine even if the computer and the hard drive seems to work Ok with the lights on. I tried the usual elimination of power and the battery and restart it tricks, but after initial success it has stopped working after a few weeks.

    Once I had the computer operation that I only closed it down in the mode 'sleep', and he continued to work for a month until that he should be released after a windows update. I then plugged an external display and use of the Fn + F5 key got the external display running.
    Low and behold, the screen of the laptop started working again as if it had been "energised".

    I took what the laptop screen was OK and that he would not need replacement.
    The laptop worked OK until it needed to restart another when the unrest started again. The screens are gray on the monitor and the laptop now.

    These problems seem to point to a flaw in the display driver or VGA card, have you received updates or suggestions?
    Now, I bought another laptop Toshiba Satellite to connect to the forums trying to find out if my original computer can be repaired
    These problems seem to be quite common on Toshiba computers.

    Any help members would be welcome.

    > These problems seem to point to a flaw in the display driver or VGA card, have you received updates or suggestions?
    For the most part a graphics card driver must be reinstalled or updated to a newer version it can also be a problem of OS which means that the new facility could help
    But try to update the display driver

  • Equium A100 - where to get a new card controller for Hitachi hard disk?

    Hello!

    I have a Toshiba Equium A100-338. The hard drive is now broken. The problem seems to be with on the hard drive controller card; the device gives no response when I try to plug the hard drive into the other computers with SATA interface. There is reason to believe that the drives are OK; they begin to turn when the power is on, and they do no harm to sounds.

    I really want to save the data on the hard drive.

    So my question is: does anyone know where to buy a new * HTS541610J9SA00 * (Hitachi 100 GB 5400 RPM 8 MB buffer SATA drive hard laptop 2.5 "), so that I can use the controller of this unit to get access to the data on my hard drive?

    Have you tried Google? Usually using Google, you will find everything you want.
    Just use HARD drive model name and I am sure that you will find an online store where you can buy new HARD drive.

  • Equium A100-147: large screen display resolution is not available?

    Hi, I recently bought a laptop A100-147 - accepted a view model that I had trouble getting one of them. On the beautiful screen, the screen resolution is 1024 x 768 - that it and 640 x 480 and 800 x 600 are available. This sounds awfully stretched.

    Is this correct? Or do I have to create a different graphics driver that allows me to select a screen resolution?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    According to the description of the Equium A100-147 comes with color Wide XGA TFT 15.4 TruBrite display ". The standard resolution of this monitor is 1280 x 800. If you dot have this one please install graphic driver. You can find it on the download page of Toshiba under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com support & downloads.

    I can't imagine that it happens after the first start. You have preinstalled your own operating system?

  • Equium A100-147 with error message "PXE - E61 Media Test Failure"

    Hi all

    I Equium A100 out of warranty due to the error message "PXE-61 Media Test Failure" I took it to my local computer Lamplighter, told me my Toshiba 60 GB hard drive failed (MG6034GSX) and replaced by another 120 GB model.
    I tried to reload the Toshiba Recovery disk system, reload reached 75%, then the messages come in saying that it does not find a lot of operating system files.
    Thinking the recovery disc was faulty, I got a replacement from Toshiba, and this reload disk gave the same problem.
    I loaded XP Professional on the 120 GB HARD drive and it works OK but I'd like to load original as it came with XP MCE.

    Is my problem the 120 GB HDD which should be as original 60 gb and a HDD for Toshiba genuine to accept the recovery media?

    Does anyone have any ideas, I would really appreciate your help.

    See you soon

    Hello

    Don t think that it is a problem of restore CD is normally impossible
    I think that the problem might be related to the HARD drive.

    First of all, you need to access the BIOS and should set the defaults (don't forget to save it).
    Then try to format the whole HARD drive and also remove the created partitions.

    Then you could try again installing the OS from the recovery CD.
    Usually, this procedure works fine

    Good luck

  • Equium A100: CD/DVD drive wont read - D:\ error message is not accessible

    Hello.

    My cd/dvd rw drive will not read certain DVD/CD-ROM. I bought my equium (A100 I think) laptop, nine less than a year ago and have had this problem since I got it. The disk which do not work on the laptop work fine on another pc / dvd players, if the disc is not defective. At first I thought that it would be a driver issue because some of the disc worked fine, so I never got the laptop back to the store I bought.

    A message appears "D:\ is not accessible. The request could not be performed because of an i/o device error".

    I recently just got internet installed in my house and I went to the toshiba site to see if there are newer drivers that would solve this problem. I downloaded a bios update and an update of dvd ram and installed, but am still having the same problem.

    Can someone help me cause am totally stuck on what to do now.
    Thank you.

    Hello

    As you have probably not known the CD/DVD drive support not all backgrounds.
    In the user manual, you will find a list of supported CD and DVD

    But I assume that you are the reader cannot read certain media because of the impure registry as this other thread mentioned:

  • Equium A100-147: I get an error during the recovery procedure

    Hi again,

    I had trouble with my equium a100-147.
    I tried a restore, but the disc is scratched so I phoned in ESL and it snet me a new recovery image.

    I tried the new recovery disk and am now errors when I boot the disk.

    error is

    "internal error crc file: \WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB895200$\msdtctm.dl.

    any suggestions are welcome. get really annoyed with my machine as my warranty expired only one month

    Thank you

    Hmm... I studied a bit and it looks a bit like a malfunction of the partition.
    It would be desirable to boot from the original CD of Microsoft XP and to start the repair console.
    Then you could try these various commands which help to repair the boot manager, repair errors, locate bad sectors and recover readable information.

    -fixboot
    -fixmbr
    -bootcfg /rebuild
    -chkdsk /r

    If this does not help, you should erase the entire partitions and must format the HARD drive in NTFS file system. Then access the BIOS and set it to the default value.
    Once this procedure tries to start again on the new recovery CD!

    Good bye
