Re: BSOD play WoW on Satellite A300

I played WoW yesterday and my computer froze. (This is the first time, it never happened)

After that I reset the phone and scanned computer for a virus and didn't find any.
Connected to the net and has started again, playing about 20 minutes later, it froze once more and when I turned it back on it went to the very scary blue screen of death.

Since then, I have try using the back up CD that came with the laptop, unfortunately it does not work.
No matter what I do the computer ignores it and heads straight for the BSoD...
I have no idea what to do, I have no options to choose Safe mode or anything.

Does anyone have any help full information?

(Either way, it's a Toshiba A300)

Not so easy to find a solution to this problem without the BSOD code, as said Akuma.

Did you change or update a driver? If you did that, maybe that's the problem.

You can test your RAM or a HARD drive with special tools.
For the use of the Memtest86 RAM of [www.memtest86.org]. Download and burn to a CD. From this CD, you can start and check the RAM.
For the use of drive HARD Hitachi Drive Fitness Test [www.hitachigst.com]. Alternatively, you can boot from a CD.

  • Black screen while playing games on Satellite A300/500 psag4a

    Hi all!

    Before that I send my laptop for repairs (it s only 6 months old) I need to see if I am not mistaken.

    It s a model of Satellite A300/500 PSAG4A

    The problem is that when I play any graphics intensive games the laptop screen goes black and locks. Only a boot cold will get it back.
    Any other time he s not ok no problem, the problem only started 5 days ago, it has the latest drivers and BIOS.

    Once, he went to a blue screen with hardware failure but was quick to get a good overview of what didn't.

    This sounds like a defective video card?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello!

    The laptop gets hot?

    What blue screen you get exactly? This could also be a software problem.

    Here you can check if you have really the latest driver and BIOS:

  • Satellite A300-23d - BSOD on start up

    Hello

    Hi Tom,

    I searched a bit using Google and I founded a few interesting articles on this BSOD code 0 x 00008086.

    It seems that the only solution for this problem is Toshiba Recovery disk now. I mean normally repair option would also be my first choice, but if you get a blue screen too, you don t have other options now.

    Then enter the Toshiba Recovery disk and boot of it. It can restore factory in a few minutes. Don t forget your whole HARD drive will be erased.

    Good luck! :)

  • Satellite A300 closing all playing

    Hello guys

    I tried thing and my Toshiba Satellite A300 keeps closing during the game. It s due to overheating but I ve open the laptop computer and cleaned inside including fans and I ve cleaned the fans so many times and it still overheats.

    I know that my fans aren t at 100% speed is there a way to increase their? (don t tell me to use the fan speed or whatever the name of that program because it doesn t work for me.)

    What should do?

    And what operating system are you using?
    Are you using the original Vista OS with all Toshiba drivers?

    I have Toshiba Satellite A300-146, model No.: PSAJ0E, 1 GB of RAM, Intel Dual core 1.87 processor, chipset Mobile Intel (r) 965 family.

    I can play some games like hitman silent of assasin on fullscreen and with graphics.

    But the problem is that a game could not open correctly IE after you open the game, he becomes 16-bit or not graphicsless. I tried these games = need for speed - pursuit and need for speed - undercover, the same problem occurs. I tried in windows XP and Vista.

    We all know Roadrash. I played this game in computer III pentium no value correctly... but I can not play in my laptop...

    Please help me to recover from this problem with the graphics.

    Sul

    Hello!

    Check the system requirements for the game. Satellite A300 is not a high-end gaming laptop and maybe some new games couldn't work on this laptop.

    Maybe you need to reinstall your laptop with the Toshiba recovery disc. I put t have another idea so try and post your result.

    Good bye

  • Satellite A300-1GC - turn off when I play games

    Hello

    I try to explain my problem (I'll try because English isn't my motherlanguage wull so hards to ensure that you understand me Hi!).
    Usually I use my Satellite A300-1GC also for two or three days (I watch divx on tv and other small applications, but nothing special) and never happened to me that yesterday was happing!

    I installed a game (Jekyll & Hyde) and I played it with the pc cable hook up to electricity. After a while (I think only an hour) the computer turns off! After that was not possibel to turn it on nothing! No light was on the same battery icon nothing complitely dead! After about 10 minutes instead of the icons light was on and so I was able to restart the computer. Windows XP doesn't give me any error on the "blackout" reports the system. I restarted the game and play with him for about two hours without any problem! If you have something (hihihihi) understud my question is:

    Whay you do that I can do so that this accident will not happen more? Is there some test or newspaper or something similar I can read to see if there is any hardware/software problems? May need a BIOS update? I mean, is there anyone who have the same laptop and have similar experience and sort it out with an update?
    On short time I'm planing to install windows 7 (two DVDs I received from Toshiba) but first I must address this problem.

    I thank the of in advance for help
    Helen

    PS: Once again at 11:36 the laptop shut down whenm I played :(

    Hi Helen_1,

    Usually, if the laptop shuts down during a game, it s caused by a higher internal temperature to protect the equipment.

    I put t know how long you already have Satellite A300, but usually the laptop must be cleaned every 3 months using a jet of compressed air. You will find here in the forum how an article on this subject:
    [How to clean a Toshiba laptop cooling system? | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=40]

    Also make sure that this new Toshiba Web site display driver is installed.

  • Satellite A300/A300D blocks when I play the game

    Hello from Croatia and I'm sorry if spelling has some errors

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A300/A300D
    Here are its features:
    Processor:
    Turion (tm) X 2 AMD Dual - Core Mobile RM-74 (2 CPUs), ~ 2.2 GHz
    Video card:
    ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650 graphics card
    Operating system:
    Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit (6.1, Build 7600) (7600.win7_gdr.100226 - 1909)

    When I bought the laptop I had Windows Vista 32-bit, after I put Windows 7 32-bit

    After a while the games have begun to block, even the call of duty 2, I play 5 minutes, and then after 5 minutes to block the departure of about 5-6 seconds and then is good and if all the minutes. I don't know what to do and ask for help

    Thank you

    It is not easy to say what the problem is here. I imagine that some background processes are active and the HARD disk must be busy then you will see that the game crashes or stutters.

    It may be an antivirus application that scans the HARD drive or something similar.
    Have you tried to unplug the laptop from the LAN/WLAN, close all the race but not need process/applications and switch to high performance power plan before you start your game?

    Please play with all this stuff. I mean that Win7 works better on these books like Vista so I think it must be a software related issue somehow.

  • Satellite A300 BSOD when installing Windows XP

    Bought a new Satellite A300 that ships with Vista and a load of other rubbish.
    Set the BIOS to boot from the installation CD of Windows XP, but just after loading the drivers and files and just before
    from Windows XP installs, crash with blue screen advising me:

    A problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer,
    blah, blah. In other words blue screen of death that ends with this message - STOP: 0xF78D2524, 0 x 00000000, 0 x 00000000

    Now, I've had quite a few machines over the years, but never something like that before you encounter when you try to
    install an operating system.

    Any advice appreciated, otherwise unit will have to go back to the seller.

    Thank you

    Joe

    Access the BIOS-> SATA mode choose and is compatible-> save the changes and exit the BIOS.
    Then try to reinstall Win XP with SP2.

  • Question of graphics 3D Satellite A300-23d

    I bought a Satellite A300-23d about 4 weeks ago. I use my laptop for graphics and the game. I used it with no problems at all during the first 2 weeks. But later, during the game Anno 1404 suddenly some scattered polygons and textures purpleish appeared. I thought it is the result of the game. But I started to see these artifacts in all games. Now, I can't yet play 3D games on my pc. After you start a game, I see a yellow-red-purple checkered kind on my screen and polygons get spiky.

    It looks like a hardware malfunction. Because I tried the update of drivers and hard drive recovery. It is getting worse day after day. Windows works perfectly fine (except that I got approximately 4 BSOD) but I can't play 3D games! What can I do? The only solution I think it gives for repair. I get the objects even when you play with powerplay (underclocked). It is not a heat problem. And if you ask, I'm not overclocking my laptop. With the help of stock parameters.

    Hello

    BSOD is a sign of hardware or software problem and eventually it s related to the GPU question
    If the new OS didn't install help, I'd recommend contacting the guys of ASP.

    Good luck
