My Satellite A200 - 1 GB hangs if it remains unused

• Just installed vista hangs if it remains unused to long, how can I solve this

  I had to replace a hard drive that crashed with a new one.  So I used the dell reboot disk and all is well.  I did all the updates and loaded all my old stuff and all the drivers for the computer as well. Everything is great, but if I put the computer in standby mode, it will get a striped vertically bunch of lines on the desktop and there is no access to anything at this point.

  I have to press start to stop computer button so I can restart.  Had no chance to do all the things I can think.  I can restore because it's a brand new hard drive.

  I; m thinking it of a vista issue and may just try to re - install vista on again once.

  Any help will be greatly appreciated.  I even tried the fix program that Microsoft is free and it found no problem.

  Thank you

• Satellite A200 hangs or restarts at any time

  Hello

  I am facing problem with my Toshiba Satellite A200 since last week. The problem, I noticed even is mentioned below in steps:

  1. start & freezes on the screen at any time or logon
  2 restart at any time without any notification as blue screen or any message dumping

  Explanation in detail:

  As I start my laptop it can freeze or restart at any moment after the Startup logo. This has happened several times, I noticed. If it freezes, after waiting for half an hour, if it does not, restart any movement of the mouse, no appeal of taskmgr, etc. it completely freezes. Then I made him stop forcing for example, by pressing the power button / stop for a long time.

  * Things to note here: this happens when the power adapter is connected *.

  Same thing repeated here with AC not plugged (on battery), the system works absolutely perfect until that hard battery backup with permitted load on the processor and any diet Plan. Tested also on AC only (battery does not exist) but same results, no resolution.

  As soon as AC is plugged the laptop is ready to freeze or reboot anytime * and the time varies between instant to max 45 minutes I noticed several times.

  Second thing to note is that if I boot in SafeMode it works absolutely fine with & without plugged AC.

  * Measures taken to resolve: *.

  * High temperature set: *.
  I also cleaned the heatsink fan heat + metal bands filter in front of the FAN to avoid high temperatures, but same results, no resolution.

  * OS Installation costs: *.
  I installed a clean copy of the OS, but no effect not found, same results, no resolution

  * AC adapter power supply check & replacement: *.
  I checked the output of the AC adapter / CC it 19.7V DC no load. I borrowed a new AC adapter with my cousin with the same model, but the same results, no resolution.

  * AC adapter Socket change: *.
  To avoid the bad food, but the same results, no resolution.

  * BIOS: *.
  Settings to change the frequency of the dynamics processor to still weak & 2nd Core Disabled, same results, no resolution.

  After searching a solution on various sites, I tried several ways but without success.

  Finally worked for me is to start in "SafeMode-> Device Manager-> disabled both processors ' & restarted in normal mode, everything works fine.

  * Question: *.
  1 but what is the real fault I want to know who?
  2. How safe to operate with disabled processors?
  3. What is the effect of it on the laptop?
  4. it's the real solution?

  Please give me the real solution.

  Thank you
  Hemant

  Hi mate

  The sounds of history for me really weird I mean disabling processors in Device Manager
  Is this laptop must not freeze and must restart not anytime if that's the case then something must be wrong with the software or hardware.
  Because you installed the OS and the problem is still available, I guess something must be wrong with the material; Perhaps the mother or the CPU itself

  It is difficult to say what could be wrong, but it seems like material is affected

• Satellite A200 works fine on battery but hangs when adding power supply.

  Hello
  I'm having a problem with my Satellite A200. I have no problem when I charge the battery and just run the battery, however, as soon as I plug in the adapter and I have problems.

  The machine seems to freeze and the screen has different colours in the lines and blocks.
  I bought a new adapter, but same problem persists.

  I think that this is without a doubt for professionals and I recommend you to contact the nearest Toshiba authorized service provider.
  Explain the situation and let it check your laptop.

  The A200 is older model laptop and I can't imagine you have been faced with a question described the first day so I'm afraid that there must be some hardware problem and to fix it you need professional help m.

• Satellite A200 (PSAE6) hangs display driver

  I run my Satellite A200 with two monitors: standard laptop monitor and external monitor and my display driver (7.14.0010.0555 as says dxdiag) or 8.452.0.0 as the device manager says, crashes frequently and often.

  The drivers is the last that I know.
  BIOS is the last too.

  Hello

  What display driver accidents also using only a view without a connected external monitor? This error message is displayed while the graphics driver crash?
  Is it while playing games?

  This additional info would be very helpful for other investigations

  According to the info that you use the Vista 32 bit OS.
  Have you installed all the updates? SP1 and MS fixes?
  You should do this!

• Satellite A200 hangs only with AC adapter

  Hello

  My toshiba satellite A200 I have owned for about 3 years has had a problem for a while or when I plug the power adapter into the laptop fails.
  I bought a new power adapter, I have re-installed windows several times and a few other things all to nothing does not.
  Her dosent computer seem to be blocked in safe mode for a reason even if I'm sure that it's a hardware problem.
  Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

  Hello

  Since the new OS installation didn't help, I think that could be a problem with a motherboard.
  The point why the OS goes not down running in safe mode is simply;
  Safe mode is a diagnostic of a computer OS mode. A few basic drivers would be responsible and safe mode will have managed to reduce the functionality and many non-core components are disabled.

  According to me, the laptop computer mother should be checked and if necessary should be replaced.

• Re: Satellite A200-1BQ, does not not after the screen saver

  Hi, I have a Satellite A200, 32-bit Windows 7 OS. When you use the screensaver to the PC stop responding. Have to spend because no response.

  If you have a report some problem send it please.

  Hello

  This means that Windows 7 hangs and does not answer only when the screen saver has been activated?
  Have you noticed the same problem with Win XP or Win Vista?

  If not then this behavior of the laptop could be related only to Win 7 and I think that it might be caused by the graphic card driver

  Remove the graphics driver that you have installed and test the screen saver using the common windows driver 7

  It would be interesting to know what is happening

• Can satellite A200 (PSAFCA) - I upgrade the GPU?

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A200. PSAFCA-01K00J. It is the system bought in Australia around mid-2007. There are currently a processor Nvidia GeForce Go 7300 intslalled on the system graphics.

  Preliminary investigation which leads me to believe, there are limited options of upgrade for the laptop, but there seems to be a number of anomalies to lead me to think the upgrade may be at hand. For example.

  In my user manual, he described my gpu in the following way:

  model lnVidia GeForce Go 7300:
  128 MB external VGA DDR2 RAM (depending on the model you have purchased).

  The external Word I think fact now refers to the interface type. As some A200 Intel 258 MB marked as integrated Gpu (and I'm the average current integrated without possibility of upgrade). This offers as well the nVidia is not integrated and leads me to believe it's connection MXM and so editable / extensible.

  Another thing to back up this idea is software Nvidia located in the control panel includes a section on system information and she calls the PCI express X 16 bus. If I'm not mistaken refers to a normal PCIe - certainly editable location. However being a laptop they might have it Mobile and so Mobile PCI Express Module and I'm back to MXM with ability to upgrade.

  This is confirmed if he please, and are there toshiba fans that could lead me to a card apropriate - perhaps off the coast of the Nvidia tray or even a chance for a toshiba laptop later. at least 256 MB or better 512.

  I have ike using this laptop, never had a problem. just be to hang out, and given that I would not buy a new car every time that I ran out of gas, I don't want to buy a new computer, when I am more then happy with the one I have for all other functions.

  Thank you

  Hello!

  In my opinion it's not possible to change the graphics card. As far as I know the graphics chip is soldered on the motherboard.

  In addition, if the graphics card would be exchangeable I think than the motherboard or BIOS will not support the new graphics card. The point is that laptops are not favourable so upgrade as a desktop PC.

  Check this Toshiba document and think about it:

• Re: Satellite A200 Windows crash when loading according to the decision

  Hello

  Recently, I had problems with my laptop during booting. Whenever I start my laptop after a stop, my laptop goes down while windows tries to load. However, when I try to start it up for the 2nd time, windows works perfectly. I tried to do the repair start several times but each time the laptop hangs on the window to the loading screen when I try to start it after the next stop.

  You are able to help me please because I don't think it's good to have it down whenever I turn it on my laptop.

  Thank you for your time and help,

  Hello

  You see, the windows repair is a fairly complicated procedure. I don't know if reinstalling the operating system is acceptable to you, but I would recommend.
  You can use image disk or hard drive recovery. And don't forget to save all the necessary staff.
  Even though I know that a lot of things about windows troubleshooting, I prefer reinstall problems rather fixing that can take a long time.

• 1IZ satellite A200 with Vista crashes every day without no reason

  Hello guys,.

  I have a Satellite A200 with Vista Home Premium installed. In the past months, the BONE is suspended every day, I was not able to detect the reason. nothing is having replied to the questionnaire, not even Ctrl-Alt-Delete, the only solution is to stop from the power switch.
  I do not found something wrong in the system log, so I do not know what to do. Toshiba PC diagnostic shows everithing OK.

  What can I do? Perhaps a cooling problem? A guide for cleaning?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  So to be honest, it's hard to say what are the really causes your system to hang. Possible reasons:

  HIV 1-infected
  2 problem of file system Os including drivers, programms...
  3 had to be clean
  hardware problem 4

  I recommend:

  1 search for viruses
  2 reinstall the drivers (especially as a vga and chipset drivers). Check installed programs
  3 use compressed air jet to blow off the dust from the cooling module.

  If this does not help, do a fresh install of the operating system. Then we will see what to do

• Closing in on the Satellite A200 problem

  Hello...

  I have a Satellite A200 with Windows XP Pro SP2 and sometimes there is when I have the OS it hangs for about 45 seconds, then start/stop start/stop. Meanwhile, the HARD disk it used a lot.

  In the user accounts from the Control Panel, I changed the way uses connect/disconnect (uncontrolled use welcome screen) when restarting the OS, I get the "Windows is shutting down" and "saving your settings" window and this window disappears. When the window disappears, I get this kick 45 seconds - 1 minute.

  I downloaded the profile "user hive CleanUp" of Microsoft and I still have the problem. I also disabled the system restore.

  Can someone help me?
  Thank you!

  You have a lot of files stored on your HARD drive? Or maybe a lot of programs installed? So in this case I recommend you:

  -clean your system with tools like "TuneUp" 2008
  -Defragment your HARD drive, you will see the evacuation is much faster with a defragmented disk (best result of defragmentation can be gained with "O & O defrag")
  -remove applications
  -get a registry cleaner and let them clean the reg for a huge log can slow down even a really powerful machine

  For example, some of my suggestion that should work...

• Re: Problems with the hard drive on a Satellite A200

  Hello

  I got my Satellite A200 (PSAE6E) for many years, and although I was interested for her order to to finally make the hard drive gives its first signs of failure. The symptoms started coming a few months ago. The disc will stop working, the system hangs, and I begin to hear a clicking sound from the disc. I'm afraid that one day it will stop working completely, and I can't afford without a laptop.

  I would replace it for a new hard drive, or one that is in good condition, but I'm having a hard time finding information on hard drives compatible with this model. Could someone help me with this?

  Thank you
  Gloom

  What you can do is to remove the original HARD drive and order the same.
  What you really need, it's SATA HDD and you can get it in every electronic or PC Magazine. I assume the original HARD drive was about 200 GB. What you can do now is to buy a new one with more capacity.

  Either way, what operating system are you using? I mean Win7 works perfectly on this old piece of hardware.

• Satellite A200 - how to replace the HARD drive?

  Hey, I recently some strange problems with my laptop. I installed a new copy of Windows Vista and also tried with Windows 7 a few times. But eveytime I get problems. The installation of the operating system right. But after I installed some Windows updates my computer becomes very slow and at some point, I am unable to install any application, because it crashes just when installing... This happends with all the big software products such as Visual Studio, 3d Max, After Effects... etc.

  So I think that my HARD drive has a large number of bad sectors. I also tried to erase everything on my drive with KillDisk, but it hangs at 16%. Once again something that seems to be my HARD drive.

  But before you buy a new, I'd like to hear your opinions on my problem and I would also like to know how I have to replace my HDD on a Toshiba Satellite a200. I don't know where it is placed and what parts I need to unscrew.

  Thanks for any help.

  Hello!

  The HARD drive is placed on the underside of the laptop.

  The HARD drive on the underside Bay is fixed by two screws. Remove the screws and the HARD drive. Then you can swap the HARD drive.
  But unplug the AC adapter and remove the battery before doing this.

  The new HARD disk must have the SATA interface.

  Good bye

• Satellite A200 - is something overheating?

  Hello

  I use Vista on an A200-TH7

  About a week, the fan on my Satellite A200 started to turn very hard, and Windows to hang on a minute later. I cleaned the radiator and the fan, but the problem was still there, so I decided to restore the laptop to factory settings, but that didn't help either. However after update my Intel chipset drivers, the laptop ran fine for about a day, but today the fan has started to act up again. It's much better that before, since Windows does not crash, but the noisy fan always worry. Is something overheating?

  I put the laptop to sleep for 5 minutes after the fan started to turn very hard, and he was fine after I took over, which leads me to think its overheating, but I can't be sure. CPU usage was<10%, and="" speedfan="" said="" the="" cpu="" temperatures="" were="" around="" 52c="" (it's="" usally="" around="" 46c="" when="" i'm="" idle="" or="" browsing).="" i'm="" also="" using="" a="" laptop="">

  Any help would be appreciated ~

  Hello

  This strange s boyfriend but maybe the fan is broken and doesn't work correctly. Perhaps, it must be replaced.

  In addition, I think that the thermal grease should be renewed between the heatsink and the CPU. This brings a cooling performance too.

  In my opinion the best way would be if you ask a technician for help laptop. They can check the materials and renew the thermal grease.
