Guard Satellite Pro stopping suddenly.

My laptop is suddenly stop - and do not restart.
"It happens esp if I try to do a scan Mcafee - when it comes down to a ' 1386 file" on the C: drive it stops! (but it also stopped at another time).
I've defragmented it and cleaned up the cookies etc. It is about 50% left on hard drive and even if 4 years old and a little slow sound otherwise was a good laptop Satellite Pro.

Any ideas? Ah its driving me crazy!

Stopping suddenly may also be due to overheating. Usually when he runs some CPU or graphics intensive application, the material can get the critical temperature level and simply turns off.

I'm sure that after some time you can start your laptop. He is old enough laptop model and it's time for cleaning. I really can't say if this has something to do with the preinstalled stuff.

  • Satellite Pro M10 suddenly stopped starting or to reach the POSITION

    Hi all, hope someone can help or advise me on what to do.
    My Pro M10 suddenly stopped starting or to reach the POSITION.
    When the switch is pressed, green light turns on and stays on and that of about it, no display and not even the rotation of the fan to the top. :(

    Funniest, it is the battery always fresh and is fine.
    As you know, this model is out of warranty now and I'm technically minded and disassembled laptops before so I don't mind open my machine.

    Just thought I would ask here first before doing so.
    Hope someone can point me in the right direction of what's wrong, have heard a rumor that the M10 with a video fault, but surely would not stop the machine POST'ing would still.

    Thank you very much

    Hi Jay,.

    Difficult to pin-point your problem remotely as you will understand, however, I expect the laptop either emit a series of beeps (in a type long, short of the boss) or else Flash HQ led to give some clues as to the reason for the failure of the POST.

    First I'll try to remove/replace the modules of RAM, hard disk and also the optical drive to see if it improves the situation. Otherwise, I would tend to suspect the motherboard failure.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite P10 stop suddenly

    I have problem of sudden closure with my Satellite P10... and no new BIOS update available.
    Is there anyone who can help me?

    Hello

    How old is your laptop and when it close? Perhaps during some heavy applications?

    There are several times my laptop didn't stop because the temperature was too high.
    Someone here in the forum suggested to clean the fans and the cooling with the vacuum module. I did it because my laptop is a little older. Because of the dust and debris, the fans didn't work properly and the temperature is increased to the critical level.

    The operating system shut down the laptop to prevent damage.
    I think you should check for this possibility.

    Also the damaged software could be a reason to turn off automatically down. Especially the new installation of the operating system can help solve these problems.

  • Satellite M70 stops suddenly: fan?

    Hey,.
    As of today, my Satellite M70 suddenly stops while I work.
    I checked the forum here, and I guess it is a heating problem.
    When I looked at the opening of the fan, I saw that the coating was broken...
    And the fan itself does not seem to work either...
    It must have been some kind of accident.
    The regular warranty covers these things?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    I think you are right and the machine is overheating.
    To get this repaired your only chance is a Toshiba service partner.

    Unfortunately, this kind of damage must be the result of some kind of hit on the laptop.
    And normally it is not covered by the warranty.

    Good bye

  • Satellite Pro M10 suddenly ran very slow and freezes

    Two weeks ago, that my SP M10 is suddenly very slow and freeze. After a reset, it began to check the HARD drive, which lasted about 8 hours, and several repair lost clusters to files. But the student pilot did not run faster. I reformatted the HDD to FAT32 (NTFS has not worked) and reinstalled Windows XP. First, it seemed to work very well, but a few hours later, it freezes again.

    After 10-20 min, I got access. This has not changed so far. CHKDSK another also lasted several hours and again showed some lost clusters. I think that my HARD drive is damaged, but how can I see if there a lot of bad sectors? Can I fix it? Can I possibly replace my 40 GB HARD drive with a larger HARD drive capacity?

    Are there restrictions or can I use any brand?

    Hello

    I had the same problem with my Satellite 1900. The result was the HARD drive damaged (bad sectors). I tried to fix it with different tools, but without success. The best solution is to swap the HARD drive.

    Good bye

  • Satellite Pro A100 suddenly rendered unusable

    Hello
    My laptop was working fine this morning, but trying to start later in the afternoon, he goes out before completely loading windows (just before you show the desktop) and would continue to do so on repeated attempts.
    I tried to diagnose the problem, but there are other issues:

    1. the keyboard has suddenly decided to stop working correctly. Pressing F2 to enter in the BIOS does not work; I can press F12 to get a boot menu, but am unable to scroll through the options or select one;
    2. the computer will extinguish after about 55 seconds to be put on little matter the current process, not only during the Windows loading.

    I am at a loss here. I bring the laptop from one place to another between the two works and take action as described above, but I am sure, he has been firmly secured and no damage could happen to her. I guess I should send it to Toshiba for repairs, but thought I'd do a post here first to see if anyone has any ideas.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Before contacting a service person, I recommend boot from the recovery CD Toshiba.
    You must test it because if there is only one defect of operation of the software and it will be possible to solve it with the new installation of the recovery CD, then you will have to pay for the test!

    As far as I can remember guys to service first tries to install the recovery CD and if there is any malfunction, so you will get your laptop without modification.

  • Satellite Pro U200 suddenly no sound

    No one knows what is wrong with my laptop, it has all of a sudden no sound? I tried to open all the volume controls and nothing seems to work.

  • Satellite A110 stop suddenly - processor fan does not work

    Hello!

    The CPU on my brand-new A110 fan does not work. The laptop turns off suddenly, without hibernation or standby for any CPU consuming activity.

    Can it be linked to a configuration / software problem? If so, how to check?
    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    For me, it looks like a hardware malfunction. If the fan does not work as it should then it has nothing to do with the software.
    The A110 seems to be a very new unit and I n t think that the dust and debris are responsible of these automatically shut down.

    Why you n t take your warranty? If the warranty is valid must be checked and replaced for free

  • Satellite Pro A100 - flashing light battery and no start

    Hello

    I was sitting watching a video with my daughter yesterday when five minutes in my Satellite Pro A100 suddenly stopped working - cut out completely and not be reactivated. When I tried to restart the orange lit battery eleven short blinks blinked, and nothing else has happened. The battery has been low for some time, so we always run the AC adapter. The adapter is currently connected, but there is no blue light charge as I expect.

    With the battery removed do not get the flashes orange. With the battery and power adapter, I get the flashes orange.

    I was wondering if the AC adapter was missing, and we do not have a "low battery" warning because we were watching a video. That would explain the lack of charge indicator. When we get the flashes orange, we get this from the small amount of residual charge of the battery.

    Can anyone back this idea up - or anyone who can interpret the error code?

    Thank you

    Keith

    Hey Buddy,

    This means that you are able to start your computer or battery or AC/DC adapter only, good point?

    Well, theoretically it might be possible that AC/DC adapter is defective.
    When you try to start your laptop, nothing happens, right?

    In the best case, you know a friend who has the same AC/DC adapter, so you can test if the AC adapter is defective or not. Otherwise a professional diagnosis of an ASP would be necessary.

  • Satellite Pro refuses to connect to wireless networks

    Hi guys! I need your help!

    My laptop Satellite Pro has suddenly decided to refuse to connect to wireless networks.
    all except my home router from the sky.

    I have moved since and am not able to connect to the free public Wi - Fi.
    No error message; Just click to connect to a particular network and nothing happens.

    I've been back home since and it connects automatically.
    I have Windows 8 and have not been able to find any trace of the Sky network to deselect etc.

    Any ideas?

    CAL

    > I've been since back home and it connects automatically.
    This means that you can connect to your WiFi network at home without big problems?
    This indicates that s laptop WiFi connection works correctly.

    I put t know what Satellite Pro, you have exactly, but have you checked if you can update the WLan driver?

    What happens if you change the Wlan standard? (802.11 a / B / G or N)
    This can be changed in the Device Manager-> card WLan-> properties-> Advanced tab

  • Satellite Pro L450: Wireless card missing or did not exist

    Hello, pls I need help

    my lap is toshiba satellite pro L450 suddenly I don't see the wireless card I check the bios and find this option is turned on also update the bios and the problem still exists and there is no card in Device Manager
    the light wireless always off I do not know what happened? and the function keys Fn + F8 doesnot work I install add package and this doesnot solve the problem

    My guess is that just failed your wireless hardware.

    Windows does not display the device driver if it does not find the hardware.

    See this thread where I make various suggestions and tips:

    Probably the best thing to do is to buy a USB Wireless Lan.

  • Satellite Pro L870 - Touch-pad suddenly stopped working

    Hi - the touchpad on my Satellite Pro L870 - 18G (Windows 8) has suddenly stopped working (after less than 2 months use of)-which makes the phone rather difficult to use. There is nothing wrong with the driver - according to the Device Manager, but I tried to reinstall when even (did not help).
    These things are not normally suddenly?

    Why device manager says that there is no problem when there is a very clear?

    Maybe the touchpad is disabled. Is there a any reaction when you use the FN + F5 key combination?

  • Satellite Pro A40 guard stop with the ATI driver error message

    My girls having some problems with her laptop and get back to Uni at the end of week for me to have a look on.

    Basically, he keeps closing sometimes with an ATI graphics driver error message. I had updated the memory last Christmas and resinstalled from scratch.

    My first impressions are it is overheating and I probably need to clean the fan, was wondering if anyone had any ideas?

    Thank you very much
    Keith (South end)

    Satellite Pro A40 is about 3 years old and it is possible that the unit needs to be cleaned. If the appliance is used intensively, I assume that there is more dust inside. By overheating of the appliance stops suddenly without any warning.

    As a first step the device. I don't know if it's the right idea to do it alone, but if you are familiar with laptops, you can give a try. After having done that, your daughter should carefully watch what happens the next few days.

  • WLAN stopped suddenly on Satellite Pro L40

    Hello

    My Satellite Pro L40 has had some problems with the wifi since the beginning, I accepted the case and restart the connection whenever it stopped.
    But now, my wireless card can't detect any signal. I installed the latest version of the BIOS and the driver of the last card, but no change... It does not at all.

    I bought the computer 3 months ago and I get on my nerves... If you have an idea or, better, a solution... I will be very grateful!

    Kind regards.

    Hello

    For me, it seems very strange that a WLan card doesn't work all of a sudden.

    However, the first thing you should check is the WLan status in Device Manager.
    Expand the area network cards and check if the wireless card was recognized correctly.
    If there is a yellow exclamation point, it means that the wireless network adapter has not been installed correctly or the software (driver) is corrupt
    In most cases reinstalling WLan driver should fix this annoying problem.

    But if the wireless network adapter appears correctly in the Device Manager, then you should check if you have enabled the wireless network adapter using the FN + F8 key combination and the WLan switch which should be placed somewhere on the side of the laptop.

    Good luck
