My Tecra 8200 is stop/freezing sometimes

Hi @all!

My Tecra 8200 laptop runs with Windows XP.
Problem is that it freezes, which means that it does not react to the keyboard and the mouse is blocked for a minute or 2. I tried to delete any powercontrols and installed "Speedfan" to cool components, but nothing did. The tech Support told me to change a setting in the bios. Let the OS set up components, and then reinstall the operating system. It did not help.

I would be gratefull for any suggestions.

THX in advance,

Michael

Hi Michael

you say that the keyboard and the mouse is stuck for a minute or 2. This means that they continue to function normally after that? Or are you to shut down and turn it on to make it work again?

Alternatively, you can try to reload the OS with Restore tool! You can find accesssories!

  • Tecra 8200 freezes every few minutes with the XP Pro Retail version

    I've updated a Tecra 8200 with a retail version of Windows XP Pro SP2 (256 MB RAM) it was a new installation after reformatting the drive. I think I've loaded all Microsoft Windows updates and drivers from the site Web of Toshiba.
    The laptop freezes for about 30 seconds every few minutes, even when you try to open a session.
    Also when starting for the first time there is a constant repetitive ping of the noise, which I assume is the hanging windows startup sound. Finally, it stops and it can be used for a few minutes.

    Can someone please?

    Hello

    In my opinion, you should buy more RAM. As far as I know, this unit can manage with 512 MB max. You can use PC100 256 MB (PA3069U - 1 M 25). I'm sure the spirit more RAM there are much more likely to make it work.

    I hope that all hardware components are recognized and installed correctly. You can also try to check which processes are active and I advise you to stop. On this way, the processor has more power for other applications.

  • Cursor randomly freezes and jumps to life on Tecra 8200 with Win XP

    Tecra 8200 with Win XP Professional

    The cursor randomly freezes and jumps to life after a few seconds, very rarely, I have to re - start.
    This happens as well with the mouse of keyboard or mouse remotely.

    Hope someone can help because it's driving crazy me.

    See you soon

    I agree with Akuma. Disable the internal mouse and external use only. I have old Tecra M1 with the same keyboard and in my case the problem was faulty Acupoint placed on the keyboard.

    With the new keyboard, everything was OK again.
    I recommend you to disable the mouse of the computer laptop and external use only.

  • Equium freezes sometimes when using TV-card Anysee E30C

    My Equium freezes sometimes when I use my TV (Anysee E30C) card.
    'Freeze', that the display freezes, the mouse and the keyboard does not obey.
    I have to stop by pressing the button for 15 sec.

    The freeze happens 5-10 minutes after the start, then after restart 1-3 hours and so on.
    It is not a temperature issue, I have updated graphics, sound cards and drivers Anysee, also Vista (+ SP1) is updated.
    I tried to use different ports USB etc.

    My laptop is 5 months old, already, the problem occurred > once a week, now, several times a day.
    Help me! I am a novice in computer science!

    (And I'm sorry for my bad English)

    If you disconnect the TV card, it still freezes?

    I would test the memory for problems. Go to www.memtest.org and download the CD ISO file. Burn the ISO on a CD - R blank file by using an Image-to-Disc project. Then boot from the CD and let it run for an hour or two.

  • Update disk on Tecra 8200

    Hello

    I own a Tecra 8200 with the latest version of the bios 1.6. I want to spend my 10 GB hard drive to a bigger! I searched the whole forum and google to find some information about the maximum size for this laptop, but there is different information. Sometimes the answer is 30 GB max and the other user has 60 GB hard drive installed. I hope someone can help me and give me some information on what hard drive I can buy a use in my tecra 8200! So thanks a lot this time.

    Welcome them

    Reinhard

    Unfortunately, I can just confirm that there is no public document on the possibilities of upgrade. I know with certainty that some laptop computers Tecra 8200 (probablu models) are delivered with discs hard 30 GB. because of that I'm sure you can use the 30 GB HARD drive with no problems.

    If you want more that I recommend to buy compatible HDD 60 and try to use it. If something is wrong you can at any time send HDD to your local dealer. Probably you have 14 days to send the product back if not satisfied.

  • Tecra 8200: After SP2 computer laptop installation keeps rebooting

    Hello.

    I am running Windows XP Pro in my Tecra 8200 and decided to install SP2 (oh error) now, whenever I turn it on I go as far as a blue screen with the following message
    STOP: c0000135 {Unable to locate component}
    This application has failed to start because winsrv was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

    After my laptop keeps restarting - boots - blue screen again. I have tried everything to connect to windows to uninstall SP2, but I can not connect.
    I tried to change the boot sequence (some ppl said that it was starting in LAN), I disabled the CPU Cache and L2 in the BIOS and still nothing. If I turn off reset on the failure of the system (as some other guy suggested) I just can't not anywhere either.

    Unfortunately, I do not have the boot floppies so I can not format the laptop.

    Now I know why that is happening, but the answers I get is to uninstall SP2, update the Bios, or to download patches, but I can't make one any of them because I can't get into windows, even in safe mode.

    Someone at - it ideas?

    Hi Hector.

    If you cannot start in safe mode, and then unfortunately mode your only real option is to reinstall your operating system to the original recovery disks.

    I think something went wrong during the installation of SP2 and this has led to the corruption of one or more of your system files.

    I also recommend that you take a full backup of your system before attempting to do a re-installation of SP2 so that you do not have to depend on start-up in Windows to regulate if necessary.

    Personally I take a picture full backup to an external hard drive using Norton Ghost before applying any big maintenance work on my own laptop.

  • Cannot connect Tecra 8200 wireless network

    I have an old laptop Tecra 8200, I recently bought a wireless router but I can't get the laptop to connect to it.
    He sees the network and attempts to connect to it, but after a few minutes it stops and returns looking for available wireless networks.
    The laptop uses windows XP with service pack 2.
    Everything on the laptop is standard and I did no improvement to him so there the standard network card. I don't know if this is the problem and that is that I'm not sure what network card enough.

    What card Wlan do you use?
    Check Wlan card details in the Device Manager.

    Looks a bit a problem of compatibility between the wireless network card and router.
    Please make sure that your wireless network card uses the same Wlan standard IE. 802 11 B G etc. as the Wlan router.

    What you could do is update the Wlan driver too.

    TOSIBA Tecra 8200
    Model No.: PT820E-05WQT-E
    Serial No.: 61276516 G ST820-0

    It is a Pentium 3 machine, but is - this one: has / M / R / S series? So what model to choose after that please?

    Thank you.

    Your Tecra is simply Tecra 8200 and there is no other model number.
    Download the drivers, you can find on Toshiba page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads but under product type, you must choose option ARCHIVE.

    You will then find option for Tecra 8200.

  • Tecra 8200 Boot and install os!

    I have a tecra 8200, cd player no longer works, so I bought a new... The floppy driver has also been broken, but I just bought a new floppy driver external usb. Everything works fine on windows, but I want to reinstall my OS, but I can't boot from the external floppy drive or a cd player... How can I solve this problem? I edited my bios to boot from the floppy drive, cdrom and HDD, but it does not start, the cd is bootable etc... How can I solve this?

    Hey,.

    When you have changed the former in an ew reader, what was the same model or a better? As SD-R2002 or

  • Can I update my BIOS using a stick USB Mem on Tecra 8200

    I want to update BIOS for the last level v1.6.
    I don't have a floppy drive selectabay, just a DVD player.
    Now, it would take 3 DVD to do this I assume IE duty in the order of the day for more BIOS later.,.
    v1.4 then 1.5V and finally v1.6.

    Is the Board of Directors supported the start-up of a stick USB Mem, or a USB FDD.
    Any thoughts on the best way to do it.

    Is there a utility I could download and do it from windows...

    My system is a 820E. Tecra 8200 series.

    Thank you.

    I doubt that you can not do this.

    Toshiba page offers a trad BIOS update that can be updated by using only the FDD drive.

    Please check this update of the BIOS Toshiba how to document:

  • Control the brightness of the LCD on Tecra 8200

    My Tecra 8200 PT820E, at some point, has been formatted less Tosh. control software. Book of hand says go to the Panel control/power economy and alter the screen brightness it. Which does not exist on my machine.

    The problem is when on battery, brightness level falls to a level that is unreadable. Is there another way to increase the brightness level?

    Thank you.

    You can do this very easily using FN + F7 to raise the brightness level.
    And I think that it is supposed to be the Toshiba Power Saver to look for this option.

    This small utility can manage the behavior of the energy saving modes, and there is an option how display is obscured.

  • Tecra 8200: drive will read DVD-R or DVD + RW

    I have a Tecra 8200 under Win98.
    It has a player SD-R2002 Rev A combo with firmware 1324.
    He read commercial DVD OK, but doesn't read the DVD-R or DVD + RW discs (set booktype DVD-ROM) (I did not try other types).
    Is that correct or is defective drive?

    If it's broken, I would replace it with a DVD burner. Is there a writer who will adapt to this laptop?

    I found some info on the SD-R2002 and it seems that this drive can write and read CD - R and CD - RW and read only DVD-ROM and CD-ROM

    That's why I put t think that there is a fault. Of course I think that it of possible to order a burner for this device. In such cases, the best way is to contact Toshiba service to order the compatible device.
