I see not the entrance until I get the screen and hold it pressed. Sometimes even if I hold the screen I can not imput to register, it will just white. Anyone know why this happens.

  This happens when the displaycable is not correctly connected to the control that is located at the top of the LCD screen.

• My Mozzilla Mail keeps freezing and is unresponsive. I need to keep closing and then restarting him. it.

  I am running windows 7 Professional. I have mozilla Mail 38.2.0 and it is open all the time. After several hours Mozilla constantly collect new messages and when I try to refresh or open an existing e-mail, nothing happens. None of the works except close buttons.

  Hello

      I think I've found the problem. My laptop is set to sleep after a set time. It's when it awakens that causes the problem. I have set the laptop to never sleep and I have tested it for 4 days and up to now it has worked flawlessly. Fingers crossed.

• Satellite M70 164 - screen freezes and goes black, overheating

  Hello world! :)

  Recently my Satellite m70-164 started to freeze after only a few minutes of work. The picture on the screen freezes, and a few seconds later, it becomes completely black.
  The computer doesn't even have time to warm up, and it's not stop... It's just the screen that freezes and becomes so black. I have to reset the computer by pressing the power button. (I write from another computer).

  I noticed that working time reduced whenever I have reset the computer and after some time it freezes even though I am in the BIOS settings, so I don't think it's an OS problem.
  Even if the computer does not have time to warm up, this suggests it might be a heat problem.
  So I tried pointing a fan this is low (a big, like the ones we use in the summer), and it works without problem!

  With the fan facing these, I reinstalled Windows - so no Virus.
  Laptop fan * not * continue to operate as it is overheating.
  The fan runs and it is not clogged as I've cleaned.

  So if anyone has the same problem, or ideas, please respond!
  (And sorry for my English)
  Thanks in advance! : D

  Hey Buddy,

  I agree with you. In this case, even in the BIOS, that it has nothing to do with Windows or a Virus. In this case, it seems to be a hardware malfunction

  But before contacting an authorized service provider to diagnose what part is the cause, clean your laptop using a jet of compressed air. This should be done from time to time (every 4 months) and, therefore, it of not necessary to disassemble the laptop.

  Check this box!

• Satellite C660 freezes and can disable it

  My laptop is Satellite C660D with windows 7.

  I had for a month when it started freezing 3/4 minutes after I logged on, being completely insensitive with the keyboard does not not or ctrl + alt + del or the touchpad, so the only thing I could do was to disable it.
  The freezing happened whenever I was on my laptop, I used system restore my laptop back to factory conditions, and he stopped freezing. It was in June, now it started to do exactly the same thing, he has done it before, freezing and be unresponsive!

  My laptop does not freeze in safe mode, no one knows what is the problem and why it continues to freeze a month after my laptop as long as the factory restore?

  Thank you

  On this virtual path, that it is not possible to provide accurate diagnosis but it must be a software related issue. perhaps is this freezing problem related to some software you have installed or perhaps Microsoft updates.

  What you can do is to start your computer in safe mode, and then set the startup option. With other words to define what applications, utility tools aor should start with Windows 7.

  Please after THAT or the instructions of THIS do. Remove check box before all the software not associated with Toshiba and that is completely useless (can be started also).

• Windows 7 freezes and unresponsive

  A few days ago did this start happening, but my laptop freezes and nothing works.  I can't open the windows, all my open windows have the title [name of program] is not responding.  CTRL Alt Delete sent it to me to a page saying:

  "Task manager has failed to operate, and if you feel this once again, then your operating system can be unresponsive."

  Or something similar to this.

  Return to normal, the only way is to press the power button until it turns off and then turn it back on.  It happens all the time now, but I've had this laptop for a few years, and it did not before.  I had to reformat the computer twice recently, due to a virus which plays audio sounds random and commercial without my intervention.  One of these wipes was right this morning, so if you ask my logs, they will be completely empty.  It comes to the computer:

  http://support.gateway.com/s/notebook/2010/gateway/NV/NV55C/nv55cnv.shtml

  If anyone knows what the problem is or how to fix this, I would greatly appreciate it if they responded.

  Thank you

• laptop slow, freezes and "unresponsive".

  Hi my laptop with Vista home premium, is very slow, continually freeze and "does not" to the point where it is almost impossible to use. I followed responses to similar issues dealt with on this forum and have run the sfc/scannow in cmd. It made me know that there was corrupt or damaged files, but when I try to analyze the entries in log file the program Checker (SFC.exe) Microsoft Windows resources, I am informed, I don't have permission to open the newspapers, regardless of how I try to "administrator." This mean the end of this pc?

  Hello

  Many files that SFC cannot resolve are not important.

  Start - type in the search box-> find CMD in top - click right on - RUN AS ADMIN

  put the command from below (copy and paste) in this box and her and then press ENTER.

  findstr/c: "[SR]" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log > sfcdetails.txt

  who creates the sfcdetails.txt file in the folder that you are in when you run it.

  So if you're in C:\Windows\System32 > then you will need to look in that folder for the file.
