Portege M400 keeps freezing

I recently bought a Portege M400 and it completely freezes and requires a hard reboot at least once per day - any ideas on how to solve this problem?

Hello

You use the image of the preinstalled Toshiba or you manually installed the OS?
Do you use the 3rd party software?

I don't know if it is useful, but sometimes a high temperature could be responsible for the laptop computer from freezing.
In most cases the cooling modules may not work properly due to the circulation of air is bad.
Please remember that you have enough space around the laptop and the fans are clean.

In addition, you can check the standby power settings that allow you to change the processor, the speed of processing and cooling method.

If this does not help so I recommend asking for extra help Toshiba service partner and diagnosis.
I assumed that the Portege M400 is a new unit and of the guarantee must be valid.

  • Portege R600-10 q keeps freezing after a short period of use

    Hi I have a Portege R600-10, q,

    It keeps freezing after a short period of use - although if I leave it for a few minutes, sometimes it can be useful.
    If it is turned on for long enough, it will display a blank screen and the fans will turn on very hard.

    I cleaned ports ventilation and re-glued the CPU, and it did not make a difference.

    I ran HDD and memory (mhdd/memtest) diagnostics, and they have all done.

    I reinstalled Windows (from the OEM disc) and I still see the same question.

    Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem?
    Thank you

    Hello

    Have you noticed that when running special software or apps?

    I can tell you that a memtest does not always provide a good result
    Even if the memtest said there is no problem with memory, RAM modules could malfunction

    Otherwise, it may be a motherboard problem, but this is just speculation

  • Vista on Portege M400: mouse keeps blinking

    Hello
    I installed Vista Ultimate on a whole new Portege M400.
    The mouse cursor does not stop flickering.

    He replaces briefly about 2 times a second form the usual arrow of the 'blue circle', indicating a change of context.
    No idea why and how I might solve this "feature"?

    Thanks in advance

    To be honest, I have no idea why your cursor blinks.
    But we're not sure, this laptop comes with Win XP, and I assume that the mouse work correctly on XP installed. Am I wrong?

    Well, in this case, there must be something wrong with the software.
    Maybe you have installed the drivers of Toshiba together in the wrong order or some drivers are missing. Maybe the graphics driver must be updated. Who knows?  :|
    Issues are rare and it of necessary to study!

    Please install all drivers as mentioned in the Toshiba installation instructions txt file that is located on the driver page.
    Then update the Vista of the State!

  • Portege M400 and 3.60 BIOS

    Ubuntu Linux running on the M400 and it seems that almost all BIOS version 3.60 prerequisite are broken because there are errors of the quirk on the CPU APIC. Perhaps Microsoft could circumvent the APIC tables broken for awhile but things with Linux is a bit bulky. Microsoft asked to Toshiba for a BIOS update to address these issues and it seems to be fixed from 3.50.

    See here

    Even under Linux not more APIC errors appear. :-) But after the update from 3.60 BIOS splash screen remains active and keeps me to select an option for a boot (grub) multi entry. If the OS is already from the start screen become white first, then gives finally control the operating system. Others see this as well?

    I am able to select something in my Start menu, but it is more guess the start screen is always at the top. Very annoying it :-(

    Another issue I have is that sometimes the system freezes for a few seconds and then continues, nothing to see in the logs when you use a Tablet Ubuntu or Windows XP Home edition. So might be a bug in the BIOS once more. Yet once you are looking for confirmation, other know about this as well.

    Reflash 3.60 a couple of times, but seeing this behavior over and over again.

    Although it seems to be some control fan in 3.60. He does not like a DC9 aircraft, but were still not silent like the 1.80W or the 2.10N of BIOS versions. Nice to see these fan noise changes incorporated in 3.60 and later

    Hi Robert

    I know you hate me, but the fact is that Portege M400 has sticker next to the keyboard and it says something like designed for Microsoft. With short words: Linux OS is not supported.

    If you need help with Linux on Toshiba laptops please check http://newsletter.toshiba-tro.de/main/index.html

    Question about freezing is very strange and if you want to check properly install recovery without additional software image. In this case you will have factory settings and clean the preinstalled operating system. If you notice some outstanding questions, you must contact authorized service partner and clarify this point.

    Good luck!

  • Portege M400 is frozen, screen goes black and the fan speed increases when moved

    Can someone help me please?

    I recently received the Portege M400 from a friend 4 days ago and reformatted for Windows XP Tablet Edition.
    Everything's fine until I wanted to move the laptop to my coffee table, but as soon as I move the laptop it freezes, the screen goes black and the fan speed increases dramatically.
    So far I have had no success in the resolution of this problem and I really appreciated, is that someone could help me!

    Have you installed the OS using a Toshiba recovery media or you have installed the version of the OS?

  • Portege M400 crashes due to overheating

    I have exactly the same problem with a Portege M400.

    After an hour or 2 the fan becomes extremely noisy and the PC freezes. The computer base would become too hot to the touch, and in fact stickers youcef/Microsoft and barcode based turned Brown due to heat.

    The only way to solve the problem seems to be to shut down the PC so 15-minutes and restart.
    When this happens, I usually only outlook running, Norton and a browser!

    This hs happening for about 6 months. I cleaned the fan but this made no difference - anyone know a fix?

    Hello

    If you have cleaned the cooling modules and if this t n helps, then you should get in touch with technicians from the ASP.
    Maybe the laptop it apart and must be cleaned inside.
    It is a very delicate procedure. Moreover, the thermal grease that I placed between the CPU and cooling modules should be renewed.
    After a long period of use, thermal grease becomes dry and is unable to channel the heat created by CPU.

    Last but not lease you must always use your laptop on a table. Use it in bed or lying on his knees. In this case the fan would not get enough air and this leads to a higher temperature.

  • iPhone 7 keeps freezing

    Good morning-

    I have a question about my iPhone 7 more.  It seems that it keeps freezing in the middle of a task.  Sometimes natively (iMessage, phone) and downloaded applications (facebook, pinterest).  I either close the applications, or restart my phone all together.

    Everyone knows this, and if so, what did you do to fix?  Or y at - it no indication as to why what is happening on my old iPhone for 3 days 7Plus?

    Hello Mary1973,

    Thank you for reaching out to the Community Support from Apple. I know how exciting a new iPhone may be and I would love to help get your works as expected. There are a few things that could cause a new phone to act the way you described, for example, if you have restored from a backup of your old phone parameters may use the older data. To resolve this problem, you can reset the settings on your iPhone.

    What this does is actually reset some of your settings to factory default. This removes all data and applications, photos or contacts, but it removes all of your preferences for the Wi - Fi, Bluetooth, do not disturb, Notifications, general, sounds, contact ID, brightness & wallpaper and privacy, so we will have to define these things upwards after this reset.

    To do this, go to settings > general > reset > reset all settings.

    If you have set your phone up like new without any transfer of data from another phone, let know us and the community will help find the best solution.
    Best regards

  • I have an IMAc running on the latest version of El Capitan. MY blutooth followed pad has a mind of its own - opening windows and text highlighting / deletion.  In addition to this my screen keeps freezing and the spinning ball will appear.

    Hello Kluggerjo,

    Thank you for reaching out to the Community Support from Apple. I know how important it must be able to count on your devices work as expected, and I have a few steps that should help resolve the behaviors you see.

    I would recommend to go by resetting your management system (SCM) controller. MSC helps control and regulate different material on your Mac, including Bluetooth systems.  This article will guide you in this process: reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac.

    If you still experience the issue after the test, you can test the behavior to a test user. This will help us to determine if the problem is systemic or isolated to your user account. This article will guide you in this process: How to test a question in another account on your Mac user

    If the behavior is duplicated to the test user, I'd recommend reinstalling El Capitan. This will not delete your data. To reinstall using the recovery mode, take a look at this article: How to reinstall OS X

    If you experience any problems or have any questions, please let us know. The entire community is here to help.

    I can't move the cursor (and it stays the same, it does not change to the beachball) and the trackpad gives no feedback whatsoever, I stop being able to 'feel' the clicks.

    You use 3.82 GB to 4 GB of your memory. Something is to take all this memory, causing your computer slow down and eventually freeze. To see which uses the most memory, open the activity monitor by searching for it in the spotlight. Select the memory tab, and then click memory for sorting by the user higher at the lowest. What is at the top should not be more than 600 unless you use some videos crazy editing/rendering programs. You can 'leave' a process of this window if it takes a lot of memory. If you leave something, you will lose everything you were doing in the process (e.g. Word, Safari, etc...) Google Chrome is one of the largest memory there suckers. I don't know if you're using Chrome or not, but I give you just a heads up.

    If you see multiple instances of Adware, remove them.

    By default, there is nothing in the files of demons of the Agents/launch of launch system, so you can remove these items without damaging the computer. If you have an application that requires files to be placed in one of these files, it will add it in the folder. If you decide to remove items from these folders, what I would do myself, you will have to restart the computer to empty the trash.

    With regard to the login items, this launch when your username is connected. This means that it starts running as soon as you connect to your user account. Things like Spotify can use a lot of memory, even if you do not use it. If you don't want Spotify to open when you turn on your computer and connect, open system preferences > users and groups > Login Items > select the ones that you don't want and click on the. This does not remove it from your computer, just prevents it to launch at startup upward.

    Finally, there are user Agents throw that you probably shouldn't, particularly those associated with Mac cleaners and torrents. Again, you can delete everything in this folder safely. I suggest you to remove clean my Mac if it is in your Applications folder. Mac do not need antivirus software and most of the "free" antivirus software will tell you there are viruses even when there aren't any. They want you to think that get infected if you buy their product to "clean" what was never there.

    Good luck

    (PS. The Etrecheck shows your excellent performance, so that your hardware is probably good).

    If Flash is installed and that you did not already, please update to the latest version by opening the Flash Player pane in system preferences and selecting the updates tab.
