My plant Satellite L550-117

Hello

Since about 1 year im the owner of a Toshiba Satellite L550-117. It has always worked well. If lately, my pc just stops.

It's not like a normal closed, where you exit all programs and then windows is stopped, but sound more like an accident. He just stops, without any notice and bam, I can restart.

This has never happened before, and it started about 10-14 days ago. Happened 6 times now. Just before that happens, my phone gets really hot, it's actually a little painful keep the hand in front of the fan. I think that this problem is caused by severe overheating of a piece of hardware.

This problem is only happening when I'm in the middle of a game session. I play Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and World Of Warcraft. Both games should be easily handled by my computer. They were never a problem for my laptop, and I've played against them, since I have this laptop.

Please note that I have never tampered with everything. Everything is exactly as it was when I bought this thing, and it has never failed me. But now it just keeps crashing. Can someone give some suggestions on what I can do? IM from the Netherlands. I need to send in my notebook, is it need repairs or can I fix it myself? How does my information would help, in fact.

I use Windows 7, 32 bit.
Graphics card is ATI radeon HD4650.
The laptop is satellite L550-117
Processor Intel Core2DUO T6500 2.10 Ghz
4 GB of RAM

If you need any other card, just ask :)
Thank you!

This is the typical behavior of surprise. That means that material reaching critical temperature, when the sensors placed on the card mother laptop computer record will simply shut down. It is so-called protection mechanism. To avoid property damage.

What can you do?
Your laptop is about a year, so I imagine the dust inside. Dust may block the cooling by circulation Grill and air. First step should be to cleaning.
On the internet you can find many pages with useful instructions and Tips how to do this on the right way.

For example, you can see http://www.ehow.com/how_5217974_clean-notebook-computer.html

  • Satellite L550-117 - how to use VGA + HDMI at the same time?

    Hello
    I have a Satellite/Satellite L550 series Satellite L550 - 117.
    Can I use 2 monitors at the same time, using the function key (laptop screen + HDMI, VGA + HDMI, VGA, portable computer), but I would use "laptop screen", "VGA output" + "Output HDMI" at the same time (for example: to play a movie on an HD TV and work on the other two screens).
    I also want to play sounds on computer speakers 'and' an HDMI output, not the speakers for computer 'or' HDMI.

    Is it possible with this notebook and how?

    Thank you

    Hey Buddy,

    Good idea you have unfortunately it of not possible to use 3 monitors at the same time. You can use the internal monitor and an external monitor but not the two external monitors. This is not supported in the graphics card.

    Then, you use internal monitor, VGA connection or internal monitor + HDMI connection. That s what you can do.

  • Can I use another laptop with Satellite L550-129 adaptor?

    Hello

    My Satellite L550-129 card is broken. (dc 19 V ~4.7 (A).

    Can I use an adapter of a mini laptop Toshiba NB500-135? (dc 19 V ~ 1.58 A)

    It is therefore the same Volt but a lower amp, can I damage something?

    Greetings,

    Bart

    Hello

    Volt value must be the same! It is very important to avoid than anything.
    In your case, the same value of Volt AC to other support adapter, so you won't damage anything other THAN the value of the intensity is very low and I guess that the adapter does not provide enough power for L550 notebook. For example: recharge the battery would take much more time.

    However, I think you could check it simply as mentioned; you won't damage anything.

  • Satellite L550 - impossible to activate Bluetooth & wireless

    Hello

    Can anyone help, I just replaced the hard drive and I have no backup disc for windows 7.
    This laptop came with Vista installed and an automatic upgrade to windows 7.

    I downloaded all the drivers for this model and I can not get the wireless or Bluetooth to work as they say of
    to activate the switch. I searched the sides out of the PC and there is NO switch then, how can we get it to work.

    This is the only problem that I have.
    PS The Lan cable works OK.

    Thanks in advance.

    On many models of Toshiba WLAN switch is no longer available and WIFI/BT will be enabled/disabled with function keys (FN keys). To work, you must install added Toshiba Value Package and Toshiba Flash Cards Support utility.

    You have two of them? Check please if Toshiba flash cards are listed in the startup (run > msconfig > startup).
    By the way: you can use the keys FN + Fx?

  • How to avoid ruining the recovery on Satellite L550 partitions

    Hi all

    I recently bought the Satellite L550/010. I'll put another OS on it, but I want to assure you that I can still retrieve its state of origin. It came with the following partitions:

    First partition (1.5 GB): contains the directories 'Boot', 'recovery', 'System Volume Information' and 'bootmgr', file 'WinREPartition.ini '.
    Second partition (454GB): looks like windows C:
    Third partition (11FR): contains the directories 'bin', 'boot', 'images_boot', etc. and files 'bootmgr', 'data.ini', 'editaf.bat', etc.

    So, my questions:
    What is the role of each of these partitions? Those who can remove and still be able to use the method of "restoration of the recovery partition? Who can remove and always use the method of "restoration of recovery disks?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    above all, don't forget to make a recovery disk.

    > What is the role of each of these partitions?
    > First partition (1.5 GB)

    This recovery utility that begins d image to local hard drive file recovery

    > Second partition (GB 454):

    There is a partition where to install your current operating system

    > Third partition (11FR)
    This is the folder of hard disk image to restore the factory settings of.

    Installation of any other Os will move partition and you will not be able to restore the factory settings by using hard disk image file (F8 at startup). This is why I advise you to burn a recovery disk if you decide to install another Os. In this case, a recovery disk will restore factory settings

    The fact is that not all series of phones are supported you will need to test

    The L500/L550 don't seem to support the switch WLan hardware, but just that the FN + F8 key combination. The downside is that you can not activate the WLan if the compatible driver that controls the FN keys would not be installed.

    I read about it in a few discussions, but unfortunately without the use of FN + F8, you will not be able to activate the WLan. :(

  • Satellite L550 and BT to my headphone connection

    I want to connect a headset bluetooth Philips for my Toshiba Satellite L550 - 13 c. (windows 7 64) What is the best way to do this?, if there is a way. The only thing I could find is one to activate bluetooth that I had to use the FN in combination with F8.

    But still, I am not able to detect or connect the bluetooth headset to my computer.

    Thanks for any advice.

    The question just the beginning for you: are you using the original preinstalled recovery (OS) image that you got with your laptop?

    I just want to know if all the software, including the BT software (battery Toshiba BT) are preinstalled on your computer.

  • Satellite L550 - lack drivers for Bluetooth

    Attempts without end to get my cell phone Nokia 7230 working with the Bluetooth on my Toshiba Satellite L550, but nothing happens. When I try to download the drivers, it says plug it. Also, I get this message of Nokia PC Suite.

    I get the message that the three drivers are missing, 6to4 map ISATAP M/S M/S & M/S Teredo Tunneling adapter card.
    All attempts to repair through the Microsoft site failed, & the only suggestion is "computer to contact manufacturer.

    The computer is still under warranty, purchased in France where I still live.
    Just to add to my misery, Windows 7 is in French, which is not making things easier, because English is my mother tongue.

    Should I just give up & buy a USB cable & forget Bluetooth?

    Hello

    Are you sure that portable supports the internal Bluetooth adapter?
    Check if you have a BT label at the bottom of the unit
    Maybe the laptop does not support the BT module and so you are not able to connect the phone to this unit

    If the laptop supports an internal BT module, you must reinstall the BT stack which you can find here:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/Bluetooth/

    FYI: you can activate the BT using FN + F8

  • Display Manager does not start after Satellite A210-117 wakes up from his sleep

    Hello

    I have some difficulty with a Satellite A210-117 PSAELE-00E00MFR. I installed W7 x 64 professional and display driver ATI Catalyst to Radeon HD 2400.

    My graphics card appears in Device Manager as an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2400 with the current version of the driver 8.970.100.3000 from AMD, and I can't find a better.

    So far, so good, but as soon as W7 goes into 'sleep' or 'hybrid sleep', the display manager does not re - start correctly. He keeps trying to display Windows, but finally the phone re boots.
    But if I put the laptop to 'Hibernate', then he wakes up fine.

    I don't know if this problem is known, because I can't find anything on the Internet on this subject independently to obtain the latest driver. Anyone an idea how to solve this problem?

    Thanks in advance

    Can someone direct me please the link to download some driver I need?

    Thank you much much in advance.

    Hey Buddy,

    Controller driver Ethernet can be both: WLAN or LAN card. All the drivers and tools can be downloaded from the official website of Toshiba:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    You have installed Windows 7 Ultimate, but may I ask why you haven t used the Toshiba with Windows 7 Home Premium recovery disc? On this disc are all the drivers and tools are installed because it s a picture of factory for you don t have stress with driver and installation tool.

  • Re: Satellite L550 - installation kit is missing

    Hello world

    my girlfriend asked me to re - install Windows 7 (64 bit) on his Toshiba Satellite L550 because the OS no longer works correctly. Unfortunately she doesn't know where she stored installation and recovery kit. So, I have to assume this media kit that once came with the laptop is lost now.

    Anyone know if the installation or recovery media can be obtained from Toshiba, perhaps as the ISO image to download?
    Thanks in advance for any help!
