HP Mini 5101 suddenly starts to freeze

Hello

I used my HP mini 5101 (Windows XP Home Edition 2002, 1.66 GHz, 0.99 GB of ram) Fortunately for 13 months, and this worked without a Nick. Yet, in the last days he suddenly started to freeze completely unannounced and apparently more frequently. I can't make any specific action that leads to the gel. It happens when I have it on the desk, on my knees, while the screen saver is activated, as I write, when I pull the internet cable etc. The screen freezes completely. Everything seems normal, except that the cursor freezes and it does not respond to press more. The only thing that helps is to stop and restart button.

But judging by the offerings of other similar, HP service seems not inclined to answer questions, however, I would greatly appreciate suggestions on what could cause this problem and how it could be fixed.

Thank you very much!

Hi Chris,

As you mentioned a few times that happens when you move, I was wondering if HP 3D Driveguard may be responsible because there meant to park the heads of the hard drive in case the machine broke etc.  Maybe it's parking the drive heads in response to even the smallest movement for some reason any.

Looking forward to hear from you.

Best wishes

  • Satellite C660 - 2 EV suddenly started giving me the BSOD

    Last week my laptop 2 years suddenly started giving me the BSOD. It doesn't seem to be anything that triggers it. Do not know what information I provide, but I tried a restore of the system to an earlier date, but that did not fix.

    I managed to make a backup of data, and I have no recovery disks. I also bought an extended warranty last year.

    I should arrange to have it repaired or is there something else I can try first?

    Thank you.

    > I provide but I tried a restore of the system to an earlier date, but that did not fix.

    I put t think it's the best choice. I would recommend you to retrieve the computer laptop back to the factory settings, either using the Toshiba HDD recovery or the Toshiba recovery disc.

    If BSOD would appear after the system recovery, I recommend you to check exactly the content of BSOD.
    Sometimes non-compatible drivers could cause the BSOD.

    But of course, also the hardware problems (memory problems) could be the reason for BSOD.
    In this case, you must contact the Toshiba ASP to verify the material.

  • Re: Satellite A350-20 q - started to freeze completely

    Howdy!

    I ' v belonging to my laptop for about 2 months now and a few days ago, he started to freeze spontaneously. There seems to be no 1 reason for this.

    It normally starts with a single application does not (internet explorer, microsoft word) and then just completely freezes so I have to reset it.

    Any suggestions please?
    Thanks in advance.

    It's really hard to say what the reason for this.
    You use the factory settings? I want to say did you install your own version of Windows, or is the image of Toshiba preinstalled on your laptop?

    It could be a hardware or software problem and if you have the factory settings I recommend to check the RAM and HARD drive. This is why you can use Memtest86 and Drive Fitness Test. use Google to find the two programs, they are free and easy to use. Just download a CD image, burn it to a disc and start from it.
    So, you can determine what the problem is.

    In the worst cases, you must go to an authorized service provider to check your laptop.
    I doubt that it s an overheating problem. The fan should work correctly because the laptop is only 2 months old you can hear the fan?

  • Re: Satellite L630-167 started to freeze

    Hey guys,.

    got myself a month old L630-167 off ebay and has started to freeze.
    The laptop freezes and the keyboard and the trackpad becomes responsive United Nations sense I have to turn off by holding the power button down. This happens on power sector and normal battery.

    Can be related to temperature, but I run CoreTemp and the laptop never seemed to exceed 53 c!

    Updated to the latest version of the BIOS too.

    Any help much appreciated! :)

    Did you check if laptop recovery would solve this?
    I think you should do it before we will talk to other reasons like the hardware with memory or HARD drive problem

  • My MacBook suddenly started working slow

    Hello! I got my MacBook Pro since 2012 and it suddenly started running slow. I rebooted several times. Also, I deleted some files, but it does not work perfectly. I noticed that when I start watching the video in my MacBook, it will stop so many times. In addition, when I search in Safari and do whatever it is, the system is slow and the MacBook is going to be so warm. Yesterday I used the application disk utility and test diagnostic equipment, but these processes did not affect the system of my MacBook. I'm trying anything possible to fix this myself before I take it to the repair shop and spend money on something that I could have probably staring at me.

    Here is some information on my MacBook

    MacBook Pro (13 inch, late 2011)

    2.8 GHZ Intel Core i7 processor

    4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 memory

    MacBook Pro, OS X EL CAPITAN, 10.11.3 version

  • you periodically to Apple TV, mine will suddenly link is no longer

    You have updated Apple TV?  Mine connects suddenly is no longer.  Good HDMI cable. Need to connect to the computer and go to iTunes for a updated?

    The latest version of the software for the 3rd generation is 7.2, released some time ago. If you had not put at all you'd really only run out of performance improvements and bug fixes, it os is not required for the device works, but it is highly recommended for best performance.

    If he have the poorly connected, try another HDMI cable and port

    Test it on another TV

    If it persists then you need to connect to iTunes, in order to bring the device to its factory settings and reload the software

  • Re: Satellite started to freeze - in safe mode, everything is ok

    I was meet a lot of problems and I think it's vista, that's why I'm posting here.

    Well, I had recovered my laptop for "out of the box" staged when my laptop could not detect any connection internet, everything began to work properly. Soon, my laptop started to freeze, and I thought that maybe because it was getting too hot.

    I decided to put my laptop closer to my fan and an angle to cool. Things went better that and so I thought everything was fixed.

    I now have a different problem.
    Just when I thought that the reason for freezing was overheated, it is happening again.
    I have my internet explore and itunes radio turned on and then my music starts jumping and stuttering and the mouse and all the rest is frozen.

    I'm not sure it's the same as when my laptop was getting hot because I had not put on then music.

    I know it's a little confusing and I have not provided many details but I would appreciate if I can get some advice.

    I intend to retrieve my laptop again within the next two weeks when I get home.

    Thank you

    It looks a bit like a hardware problem.
    But first of all that I would like to know which laptop model you have?

  • Satellite L300D has recently started to freeze

    Hello

    First time poster so hope im in the right place!

    My L300D has recently started to freeze on me, he's about right start. If I move the screen slightly it will unlock and I can work on it, but is likely to freeze again with any movement of the laptop, so the constant movement of the screen to thaw it is a bit annoying that you can imagine!

    I used compressed air to remove dust from the fans because it had seemed as if it was overheating, but that made no difference.

    Is there something simple I am missing or is this tendency to freeze a symptom of the beginning of the end for my laptop?
    If anyone has any experience of this / tips for getting on it, it would be well appreciated.

    Thanks in advance
    Kevin

    Hi bluekev,

    I never heard of this issue, but maybe the problem is with the LCD cable... Such a cable wouldn t be expensive and you can get it from an authorized service provider. Also guys can redeem you.

    You move only any computer laptop or screen?
    I ask this question because it could also be a HARD drive problem, but if you move only the screen I doubt

    There was several abnormal stoppages in the last days. A negative stop code may indicate a hardware problem. The precise meaning of the codes is not publicly documented.

    If you haven't already done so, you can try to reset the system management controller. Otherwise, or if the reset has no effect, see below.

    Do a 'genius' one appointment at an Apple Store, or select another authorized service provider. You may need to leave the machine there for several days.

    If privacy is a concern, delete the partitions of data with the ability to write zeros * (do it only if you have at least two backups complete, independent, and you know how to restore on a blank disc from any one of them.) Do not delete the recovery partition, if it is present.

    Hello

    The Mini 5101 is listed as a class notebook business which means security is more stringent that consumption patterns - they do not produce 'stop codes', the password cannot be derived from the serial number and the code is stored in a memory not volatile to remove the cell RTC does not reset the password in this case.
