Function key on Satellite L500 causes Blue Screen Of Death

OK, I have a Satellite L500 and I got it in December 2009. Since I got it, if I ever press the function key the BSOD appears and the computer restarts. I put t in particular use the key function often, but it of just in case I press the wrong button and it s a nice feeling not not to have a button of computer laptop-suicide haunts my keyboard.

Also if I decide to close the laptop completely and turn it back on at a later date, it of likely that it will be displayed as well. I have no idea as to why this is, but any help would be appreciated.

Thank you very much

    Hello clotidle

    Well, it very difficult to tell what the problem is.
    I don t think that the BIOS is wrong because as a wrong
    The BIOS update procedure has damage to the motherboard and it is not possible to run or start anything.

    Sorry I n t have a proper answer.
    In my opinion, you should contact Toshiba service partner because I don t think that you will solve this problem yourself.

    PS: You can downgrade the BIOS t.
    Only the AEP has a possibility to do so.

    Good bye

    You have the well known problem of the Webcam HP HD [Fixed] .

  • Skype causes Blue Screen of Death after a while in a call.

    Hello, I am currently having a problem with my Skype where it will make my computer BSOD after a while in a call, it only occurs during Skype calls, not during other communications programs of voice as the voice of steam call and the blue screen is more likely to happen when I'm in Firefox.

    The blue screen error I get is "clock interrupt was not receieved a secondary processor in the time interval allowed."

    Any help would be appreciated.

    I did clean install applicable drivers and even tried to Exchange pieces of equipment (including the negotiation on an old CPU and RAM value) and no change.

    Fortunately, a solution to the problem, which has been swicthing on Google Hangouts. They work much better because there is no decrease in performance, even streaming, has more features and does not cause a blue screen after a couple of hours.

  • Satellite M30X-118 blue screen of death

    Hi all. Please help me with this one. The problem I have is this. After power on and loading windows of windows (the version of picture Toshiba) will crash after a few seconds with a blue screen. Windows reports that an ATI driver fell into an infinite loop and the computer stopped to avoid damage. I use the latest toshiba BIOS (1.9), ati drivers and chipset and I did a virus scan. I also tried to reinstall windows from the CD.
    What is strange is that after 2 or 3 restarts the computer works perfectly. No more reboots and not problems with the ati drivers. I even tried a few 3D games to be totally convinced. The problem is most obvious when the computer has been closed for a long time (hours or days). So maybe it's a thing of temperature. Maybe a graphic component does not work properly in times of low start-up and after a while when the temperature rises, it's ok? What do you think?
    Finally, after the exit of the hibernation mode or standby driver ati fails and that the resolution is back to 640 x 480. A reboot but corrects this problem and I don't know if it's relevant.
    Thank you for your time!

    Hi George,.

    I don't think overheating is the cause of your problem. It resembles a suspect hard drive. Usually after a period of inactivity the drive has problems reading of the driver file.

    You could try to reload the ATI driver (this should load the driver to a different location on your hard drive) and see if the problem persists.

    You disk defragmentation will not help because the drivers are usually installed in a non-transferable area of the player.

    I strongly recommend to take a safe backup of your user data at the earliest.

  • Satellite A500: BSOD (blue screen of death) - Solution

    Hello

    Well, I am engineer in Instrumentation and also related to the field of computing. In recent weeks, I see that many people in the world are stuck on this problem of malfunction or failure of the graphics card driver.

    Recently a friend brought me his laptop A500 solve this problem and the solution works very well with him for the last day 10.
    We test the laptop using games, movies n everything and it works very well!

    _ * Solution: * _

    _Step1: _ Just bring back your little of lower resolution graphics of full (my thought is its quite possible that a500 LCD or graphics are mismatch so a good step to avoid this problem is to decrease your resolution no need to change the default settings of the graphics card)

    _Step2: _ change your windoes7 to windows Basic theme and only change the wallpaper if you want (although I'm not sure this step because this step has no logic behind but maybe since windows7 use new programming so maybe a possibility that graphics files are in conflict with drivers)

    I hope that my solution will also help u, as it has done for my friend and those you spend money on the a500 will not feel say heart :)

  • Satellite L450D - 13 X - black screen of death/Blue Screen of Death

    Hello everyone.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L450D - 13 X for children, and for the price it's a good laptop. Have had no problems with it until two weeks ago, when the screen froze for boys while playing a game and downloading a program on the net. Had to make a stop of force and since then, we have a BSoD on each startup. That's what we tried:

    On "Starting Windows", we are given the option to either 'Launch Startup Repair' that ends as BSoD or "Start Windows normally" who returns to the list of option "starting Windows."
    Any attempt enter 'Safe Mode' BSOD results.
    Attempt to boot an ISO of the disk recovery Windows on a USB key (we did put highlight and make promotion up) results in BSoD. Borrowing a correct installation of Windows 7 DVD and highlighting what an option cause BSoD.

    In fact, the only option that we used who threw something different has been using advanced startup options. On one of these options, we've got the Blue Screen of Death with the following information:

    Unmountable_Boot_Volume
    Disable memory the Bios Options such as cache/occultation

    I don't mind erase the hard drive and leave, there's nothing on what is essential. Very, very well, I'd appreciate a steer on it. Checked the Web for things and nothing seems to help for other options. I'm not particularly tech literate but can follow directions.

    Thanks in advance.

    It is really possible that the HARD drive is faulty.
    If possible try to get another same HDD used for test purposes and install OS using the Toshiba recovery image.

    A friend of mine had a similar problem and after Exchange of HARD drive, everything went well again.

  • On firefox memory leaks cause blue screens?

    On firefox memory leaks cause blue screens?

    If you encounter blue screen crashes, this majority refers often to an incompatibility with a device driver, especially the graphics drivers. Go to Firefox Safe Mode and disable the use of Firefox hardware acceleration of graphics.

    Assuming that Firefox is closed:

    Hold down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox. You should get a small dialog box. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).

    (If Firefox is running, use Help > restart with disabled modules to call the dialog box.)

    In Firefox, open the Options of the Advanced tab dialog box:

    the button Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) > Options > advanced

    In the mini ' General' tab, uncheck the box for "use hardware acceleration when available.

    This will take effect after you exit Firefox and start it up again (in normal mode).

    Hello

    Is it only happens using USB drive?
    Have you tried other disks USB, key USB flash or other USB devices?

    > I tried to check my RAM with memtest, but it restarts my pc once he starts the first tests.
    Hmm... It's strange...
    The problem of memory could be responsible for BSOD, but if this BSOD appears only using USB drive then I would recommend testing other external USB HDD.

    You should also try to update the driver from chipset since the chipset USB ports driver controls

  • Blue screen of death, the Satellite M100

    Hello

    I have Satellite M100, we had problems with the blue screen of death sometimes and then it seemed fairly constant and the only way to ensure that the system is not plant was to start it in safe mode.

    The noise had also stopped working. Decided to restore the factory settings system used the disk and everything goes well until the system started in windows allows you to go through the installation program then blue screen again. The sound seems to have returned, although it is slightly crispy.
    So don't know if this is the problem or not. Unrecoverable system error crashes and also driver_irql_not_less_or_equal.

    Now cannot start in safe mode as the windows installation did not finish...

    Any ideas anyone?

    See you soon
    Simon

    Hello Simon

    If BSOD is displayed after the installation of recovery, it may be a serious physical issue.
    Try installing the OS using the recovery discs. If the problem persists I think it's time to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider.
