  All of these games crashes & freezes after 3-5 Min & gimmea the screen black or white and everything happens while pluging adapter to recharge.

  The only one that works such fine bit is Battlefield Bad Company 2. Then I change the DirectX (setting.ini) of car in DirectX9.

  SP please any help on this matter. I think it's a video driver or a Windows 7 problem. And the specifications are:

  Hi Storm2005,

  A 64-bit Windows 7 preinstalled on this notebook or install it yourself?

  In my opinion, you should check the cooling options in Windows power management. Make sure that it s set for maximum Performance. This means that your laptop will be cooled as much as possible.

  I put t know how long you have this laptop already but maybe that cleaning is also an option.

• Satellite A500 questions (graphics Card freezes when games)

  Hi everyone hope you can help!

  I recently bought my Satellite laptop A500 and I have 2 numbers extremley bad!

  First apparently there is no my model number is PSAM3A-04100E, which turns out to be a Royal in the preverbial right pain when it comes to upgrading to windows 7!

  Second is my major problem,.
  I do a lot of games (sims 3, Callof Duty this kind of thing...) and every time I play I think that wow is the great great great fps and then FREEZE graphics! my summer completely computer hangs and stops without warning signs of lag slowing down or anything like that, and she is constantly!
  I was wondering if anyone else suffers from this problem or if I wait must search for a driver update I searched around but can't seem to find it anywhere.
  I really don't want to take it back to the shop because then I won't have a computer for weeks!

  Any help would be appreciated massively,
  Thank you very much

  > PSAM3A-04100E
  Where you bought your laptop? What is the country of purchase?
  New Zealand, perhaps?
  Please visit http://www.toshiba.com.au/ > New Zealand and you should find your model of laptop there but I can see the Win7 drivers are not available for the moment.

  Next week, I'll get my Satellite A500 and I'll test with Call of Duty 4 and let you know how it works.
  In any case before starting the game stop all unnecessary running process and define the plan of power at full power. Make sure also your laptop can catch its breath and cooling fans are not blocked somehow. Replace also side of your notebook computer on two CD boxes having a greater distance between the laptop and the desktop.

  I hope that everything will be working well.

• Satellite A500-10F - HDD protection freezes the machine

  I did a clean install of Windows 7 Professional 64 bit on my Satelite A500-10F. It does seem however to all the drivers for it.

  There is a problem with the HARD drive protection. When she is supposed to trigger the whole machine freezes and I have to turn it off manually. Are there drivers available for this? If yes where can I find them? What else can I use until these become available? Hope there is a solution to the problem of easily available with windows 7...

  Hello

  Satellite A500-10F seems to belong to the series of PSAM3E and the Win 7 64 bit drivers are available on the page of the European driver Toshiba for this model of laptop.

  There is also a HDD Protection Utility v2.2.0.2 for Win 7 64 bit.
  I recommend to remove the old HDD Protection Utility, then clean OS using CCleaner for example and after new reboot you might reinstall the software again.

  Welcome & good luck

• Satellite A500 keyboard and Touchpad freeze but the computer is still active

  Hi, I hope that some might be able to help me with this frustrating problem.

  Keyboard and mouse on my laptop have, during the last 4 months, been freezing almost randomly.

  This problem occurs only with the keyboard and notebook computer touchpad. If I use an external USB mouse, I have no problem.

  Please note that this is not all the freezing system. Once the keyb + touchpad freeze has occurred, I can always plug in a USB mouse and continue to use the computer.

  I have windows 7 64-bit.

  And what model of laptop do you have?
  Are you using the Toshiba recovery image or your own installation of the OS?

• Satellite A500 Pro keeps freezing

  Help...

  I have a Satellite A500. It keeps freezing.

  Sometimes it will boot when turned on, but then as soon as I select a program to open, it freezes.
  I can't do anything. I can't control alt delete to open the Task Manager. The only thing I can do is to turn off the power.
  So when I turn it back on, it asks me to start in safe mode, I say yes, but the same thing happens.

  Sometimes it starts and you can go in outlook and check a few emails and I think it works fine, then it stops and says not responding do not. Then I go to Explorer and the same thing happens.
  I have try the Task Manager, but it will not come to the top.

  So I have to stop again. It's very frustrating.
  I have installed Norton and nothing comes to say there's a virus problem.
  I have no error message, it stops just to work.

  Help, please!

  The same happens when you start in safe mode? Test it please. Play around a bit with a few options or applications.

  Since when did you notice this behavior?
  On this virtual path, it is not easy to say why this is happening. It will be interesting to know how your work laptop with factory so if possible to save all your data and install the new OS by using the original installation disc of recovery.

• Satellite A500-1GG - controller Nvidia keeps crashing

  I recently bought a Satellite A500-1GG, and I've had this problem more than once now. Firstly, the screen freezes, then goes black, and then it turns back to normal, saying the controller has crashed and restarted. Can someone tell me how to solve this problem?

  Who knows what that you made or installed the last days.
  You have this problem on the first day?
  Do you use factory settings (laptop preinstalled by Toshiba)?

  Have you installed some games?
  This happens sporadically or in a certain situation to you?
  Have you tried to reinstall the display driver?

  Have you tried even anything to make it work properly again?

• Satellite A500 - mousepad crashes whenever I go on the internet

  Hi all

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A500 and every time I go on the internet my mouse pad freezes. The only option I have is to restart the computer again. This is getting very frustrating because I don't know what to do?
  If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  See you soon

  Karen.

  Hello, Karen

  To be honest I have never heard of something like this and you believe one with this strange issue.
  I would like to know since when you noticed this? I can't imagine that this problem persists since the first day.
  You have an original preinstalled operating system?

  I guess the first step can be updated to BIOS. Latest version of the BIOS is installed on your laptop satellite?

• Satellite A500 - 1 GB - copy dialog crashes on the eSATA connection

  Hello

  I have trouble when using my Samsung storyboard (1.5 TB, eSata/USB 2.0) with the Satellite A500 - 1 GB (Windows 7 64-bit):

  (a) when you use the connector eSata (preferred):
  The drive is recognized by the system, and I can read the directory information. But I cannot copy or play the disc. The copy dialog box freezes quickly and cannot be terminated easily.

  (b) when you use the USB connector:
  It is also recognized by the system, but copy and read operations take ages - I have tried to make a backup of the system, but cancelled after 5 hours.

  The drive works fine with another PC (also Windows 7 x 64), so the drive itself should be ok.

  I've updated satellite drivers today (BIOS, chipset and responsible storage), but this did not improve the situation at all.

  The question is probably, due to the 150 versus Protocol SATA 300 SATA? A500 - 1 GB does support SATA 300 (SATA 2) or just SATA 150 (1 SATA)? Is there a specific SATA driver (Intel?) I might give a try? Where could I check who is currently SATA-used protocol?

  Or do you have other clues on how I could solve this problem?

  Best regards
  Waschlappen

  Hello

  Theoretically, your external hard drive eSATA connection could be defective so have you tested the USB connection only on your other PC or eSATA too?
  In addition, you should test another cable, I had a USB cable, did the same problem and after Exchange of cable, everything was ok.

  There is no special driver for it on the eSATA connection. I think that it s part of the chipset driver for reinstall the chipset driver could also be helpful.

• Satellite A500-1DN - crashing everything by playing games

  Hi all

  About 2 months ago, my friend bought a Toshiba satellite A500-1DN. After about 2 weeks, she decided to put 2 games on it (guildwars and jedi knight academy). We quickly realized that after about 1 hour of playing, the computer would crash to a black screen, rather than return to a blue screen of death. That meant there was no indication of what was causing the problem specifically and no dumps mini windows...
  Having trouble with these specific games myself on Windows 7, I thought about the games.

  A week later, she spent an hour watching videos to youtube to see his computer crashed in the same way as the game. So I put some on the computer diagnostic software. CPU / GPU overheating? But nothing, the temperatures are stable and supported and certainly wouldn t have been the cause of these accidents, unless I unfortunately missed the point where he did more heat cache-shoulders so I not outrule not he...
  Because of the problem it seems to be up to now video related, I downloaded the new nvidia drivers (unfortunately the official ones didn't work and I had to search a custom .inf file). It does not solve the problem, but the driver seemed to work adequately well.

  In our anger, we have sent it back stating that it would be cooling the laptop, that is to say of copper was not sufficient for the graphics card and Toshiba said they had cleaned up the computer until replaced thermal paste, typical stuff all... which seems very fair. We returned it. We played a game and it crashed within 10 minutes. Perhaps even worse than when he left.

  Is there anything that could cause this problem - video related activities causing crash computer without going to the BSOD or return specific errors. What is RAM? I even uninstalled protection HDD thinking it could be the source of compatibility problems.

  I need advice.

  The spec is:
  Intel core 2 DUO T6600 CPU 2.20 GHz processor
  NVIDIA Geforce GT 230M
  4 GB OF RAM

  Hello

  This only happens if you play games or Surf Internet, office, etc.. ?

  The games aren't supposed to, but if they are a bit older, they are not compatible with Windows 7 maybe. Did you check that?
  Also look for a patch for the games. You can get it on the site of the factory.

  In addition, it would be interesting to know what you get exactly the code bluescreen. For the most part the stop codes you can find more information on Microsoft Knowledge Base.

  In most cases these bluescreens correspond to the drivers or hardware. If all Toshiba drivers are installed, check the RAM with Memtest86 diagnostic tool.

  Good luck! :)

• Satellite A500-19U - need help for games and the AC adapter / CC

  Heys guys.

  I got my new Satellite A500-19U and install games on it like COD4, assassin Creed, Batman, Mafia 2 .and much

  All of these games crashes & freezes after screen black or white, 3-5 Min & gimmea and this happenWHILE CONNECT the AC ADAPTER to charge the battery. While using the battery just fine, except some crashes after a long period of palying. Some time, he said (the display driver not responding) & sometimes the screen black or white. The only way to recover the laptop is ALT + CTRL + DELETE and wait until the game to recover & cases laptop stop responding & the only way is to hard reboot.

  The only one that works such fine bit is Battlefield Bad Company 2. Then I change the DirectX (setting.ini) of car in DirectX9.

  SP please any help on this matter. I think it's a video driver or a Windows 7 problem. And the specifications are:

  VGA: Nvidia Geforce G210M with the driver from the Toshiba Site has also tested the latest driver from Nvidia Site Version: 258.96
  OS: Windows 7 64-bit [pre-installed]

  I think that its not big problem for Toshiba co.  :)

  Hi mate

  I think that it is a nuisance driver in most cases not entirely compatible graphics cards drivers are the reason why games dishes t working correctly.

  What to say; I think that the update of the driver is the key
  You will need to find a good driver version
  Toshiba pilot European page you can find the latest drivers published by Toshiba
  But this does not mean that these are the most recent drivers released by nVidia or ATI
  nVidia or ATI drivers are always different

  In order to check the drivers from nVidia page too.
  You can also try the version published on the Web site www.omegadrivers.net or www.laptopvideo2go.com
  But note; These are not tested drivers and use is at your own risk!

• Re: Satellite A500/026 get frozen and cannot close

  Satellite A500/026, I bought a month before, and actually use days perhaps only 14 days.

  That books get frozen after 5 minutes and can't stop, no matter what you do.
  I made the recovery of factory default. the first can not finished and frozen in the State. over twice the recovery, but the jelly still happens after 5 to 10 minutes. I don't know why these things happened on a brand new computer. What them to prove the quality for the Toshiba?

  Site Web de Toshiba have also any number of phone customer feedback or complaint hotline.
  I swear that not more product Toshiba for me, also include my family and all my friends.

  Hello

  I have no idea of what has happened with your laptop, but according to your assignment, the laptop freezes even using HARD drive recovery.
  In your case it s recommended to contact the ASP (certified partner) in your country. The laptop seems to be covered by the warranty that is why everything should be done for free.

  The ASP database in the world can be found here:
