Re: Satellite A215-S7444 just stops after an hour of use

I have a satellite A215-S7444.
My problem is that if I'm on the computer after about an hour or two the computer just stops.
I already tried to change the power settings management that worked for awhile, but my laptop still turns off after a while.

Hi Patrick

I'm quite sure that your laptop stops automatically due to the temperature inside the laptop.
It of a simply overheating issue that could be caused by clogged cooling grids.

From time to time it s a good idea to clean the fans. Especially dust prevents the cooling modules works correctly, and therefore the temperature rises.

I made good experiences with the jet of compressed air. These sprays can be purchased from dealers of computer/laptop.
In addition you could try to google for some online also offers.

Good bye

    Do you have also installed all the drivers for your laptop from the Web from Toshiba site? Make sure that there is no yellow exclamation point in Device Manager.

    Eventually the temperature inside the laptop could be responsible for these issues of freezing. A similar problem occurred on my laptop. He frisottés due to overheating.

    I tried to remove the drivers and reinstall them, but it did not help. done the same with the software dealing with the issue as well, but... Nada!

    All solutions?

    Have you ever tried to reset the laptop to factory settings using the Toshiba Recovery disk?
    If the driver update or reinstallation did not help in the past and you have no idea how fix a particular problem it s advisable to run run system recovery.

    However, I think you should also try this workaround:
    Firstly uninstall the audio driver.
    You can do it in Device Manager. Expand the Audio area, Video, Game Controller and uninstall/remove the driver (Conexant) sound.
    Also remove the entry of High Definition Audio Controller (Intel and nVidia)
    Then restart the system.

    After the reboot, the devices removed / uninstalled should be recognized automatically by the Windows System. After that, you could test its new

    Hmmm on which site did you download and install the ATI graphics card driver?

  • Toshiba 46TL938G: mp4 playback stops after 2 hours and 6 minutes

    Hello

    I recently bought a Toshiba 46TL938G.
    The problem I have is that when I am playing a video file mp4 from my USB stick always stops at 2 hours and 6 minutes.

    I tried various usb and different files.
    I suspect that it is a bug in the firmware. I saw here in the forum that another user had the same problem, but it has not been answered. Is this a known issue?

    If it is not who is the right person to contact to?
    I think it is unacceptable to not be able to see a movie when I paid a lot of money to buy this tv!

  • Satellite A300 stops after 5 minutes of use

    Hello

    I recently had my laptop back on the Toshiba Warranty Service that my machine was not able to receive the juice when it is plugged in but it worked fine on battery!
    They replaced the motherboard and taken the power cable and the machine seems to work well!

    Now, I've noticed that when my computer is on and connected to the power supply, after about 5 minutes, or so it is cut!

    When I turn on the machine, it passes through the jargon "your machine has not extinguished properly!
    I also noticed that I'm not hearing any additional fan activity or feeling any flow of additional air that I used once to!

    Anyone think this could be reduced to overheating?

    The machine does not seem to suffer from this problem, so I'm just running on battery power.
    I'm getting a bit fed up if I need to return once again!

    All your comments are welcome!

    > Now, I've noticed that when my computer is on and connected to the power supply, after about 5 minutes, or so it shuts down!

    Hmm, that doesn't sound good and I recommend you to contact the responsible ASP as soon as possible.
    To me, this looks like an overheating problem. If the temperature occurs at a critical level then the cell phone would power off automatically to prevent the equipment from damage.
    You said that you do not hear the coolant running modules?
    This could be a reason why the temperature would be higher and the laptop would be closed.

  • Satellite A100-599 exactly stop after 60 sec

    Hello

    I have an unusual problem with my laptop
    It turns off after exactly one minute/60 sec.

    I tried with another ram, with or without battery, without hard drive in the Bios Setup.
    No matter what I do it turns off after 60 seconds exactly, and I don't know what to do!

    So it's not to randomly turn off the coast, but exactly 60 seconds!
    What could be the problem?

    I can't find Bios anywhere on the internet and I m not exactly sure if I could flash even in time of 60 seconds...
    ...

    Hello

    Strange in my experience the laptop would be off automatically due to the higher temperature.
    Have you noticed a temperature higher during this 60 sec?

    It is possible that your cooling fan is not working properly, which lead to the overheating of the CPU and automatic shut downs
    But its weird that this happens always exactly after 60 sec

    In any case, try to clean the cooling fans using a jet of compressed air. Dust can affect cooling performance, so his challenge worth a try.

    The thermal grease could be renewed too, but this procedure is more complex and should be done by someone who knows how to disassemble the laptop and replace the thermal grease.

    But this is just theory I don't very well if the problem is related to a higher m temperature

    With regard to the update of the BIOS:
    This is not possible given that the laptop turns off and it could interrupt the BIOS update. In this case, this could damage the MEDIA module and the motherboard.
