Re: Satellite L300-PSLB8E works super slow on Windows XP

I have a Satellite L300-PSLB8E. It came with Vista Home Premium. After I did my recovery DVD, I did a SATA drivers downloaded from the Toshiba site. I did the F6 thing but kept getting always a bluescreen when the installation program got the 'starting Windows' I passed the SATA AHCI in BIOS compatibility and then managed to install XP without the SATA drive. What is strange, it's the sound LAGS and disk access is super slow. I ran a speed test program and he showed that the performance of the HARD disk are only 5% of the performance in Vista. I actually tested it on another laptop the same which was decommissioned and it had the same problem. Any advice? What is the AHCI Mode?

> I had the SATA AHCI in BIOS compatibility and then managed to install XP without SATA drive

This is the reason why your L300 runs slowly using Win XP.
You have set the SATA in compatibility mode and now the HARD drive is not able to use the SATA performance.

Your laptop would be faster using mode SATA and SATA drivers.

    I need it for my study and using home. Computer runs VERY slowly. Now I have a version of Windows XP Pro SP3 64 bits. The programs that I have only Ms Office, Skype, Nero, antivirus - BitDefender. I play all the games. IM from the application for my study only - using Ms Word.

    My computer has been verified in the service center and no defects of any sore - not any software and hardware, virus damage, no all manufacture faults. The owners of these model please give me advice what to do. I stuck!

    What should I install Windows XP 32 bit or install Windows 2000 or upgrade hardware (memory... whatever)? I won't be disappointed by TOSHIBA!

    Evil appreciate any HELP!

    Hey Buddy,

    Can you be a little more detailed, please? What do you mean with very slow?
    How long it takes so that it starts Windows?
    How long it takes to start an application?

    I have to say that Windows XP 64-bit wasn t popular and there is no official support for Toshiba for this OS. If you use Windows XP, I recommend to install the 32-bit version.

    Did you test your laptop with the factory settings? It works properly with a preinstalled OS from Toshiba?

    I m also owner of the Satellite L300 and I use the preinstalled Windows XP 32 bit of Toshiba. I m very satisfied with this laptop, it s fast enough and need very little energy. :)

  • Satellite L300 (PSLB8E) - after update BIOS no longer start

    Hello..
    Please, help me to overcome this problem.

    I downloaded the latest BIOS for my Satellite L300 PSLB8E. The previous BIOS was 1.90 but I was facing some nework of error so I thought to upgrade the BIOS can help solve. I have download a new BIOS which is the exe 2.10, its installed successfully, and then shut down, but never started again. I tried to start it several times. I tried all the keys. I don't see a power led and two battery light.

    I don't know what to do now. I have a recovery disk but it also does not work. I'm stuck. II had built a bunch of emails to answer that I am lost now.

    Please help me someone.

    Hi dhaval2000in,

    Unfortunately, I think the case is clear: something was wrong because the BIOS update and now your laptop can start t more :(

    The Toshiba Recovery disk will not help you because it doesn't contain any BIOS programs it contains only an image of recovery of Windows with all the drivers and flashing tools.

    In my opinion, please contact an authorized service provider in your country to get rid of it because the guys do reflash ROM. module
    I m that you can clarify this issue with the technicians and then you can use your laptop again :)

  • Satellite L300-PSLB8E - screen becomes all white and the laptop freezes

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L300 PSLB8E. I initially bought with Windows Vista already installed on it. After a few years, I changed the operating system Windows 7 Ultimate. I installed the display and all the other necessary drivers (that is, sound, network, etc.).

    After I installed Windows 7, when I use the laptop for a while, the screen becomes all white and the laptop hangs. This happens spontaneously. Sometimes, in less than 10 minutes and other times that it can work perfectly for hours. I checked for loose batteries and other components, but everything seems fine.

    Physical damage only that there is a tiny crack on the screen in the bottom right of the screen. The operating system is not good? If I put windows Vista back as it was?

    Please advise and help understand me what the problem is with the laptop.

    Until we start discussion can you tell me what you do when this happen?
    Hard stop and restart?
    Is everything OK again when you do?

    It is not easy to say what exactly is the problem, but I put t think there is problem with OS and preinstalled display driver. A long time ago I installed Win7 Home Premium on friends L300 and it works perfectly.

    What you can try is to use the external monitor for a while and see if everything works well. If so, there is no problem with the operating system, drivers or graphics card. It may be that the display problem.

  • Satellite L300 PSLB8E - connection WLan keeps falling

    Hi all

    Have gotten my Satellite L300 PSLB8E some 2 months ago and since the first day (RTL8187b) wireless is having serious problems.

    Continuous wireless connection drop if other phones that I use at home are very good.
    LAN on the same Satellite works fine as well, it's just wireless problem with this particular machine.

    I have tried to restore the system, using recovery discs, tried every possible update Toshiba as Realtek, but problem remains intact.

    Help, please!

    Hello

    What version of BIOS you have on your laptop?

    There is a version v1.8 of BIOS on the European driver Toshiba page.
    Check if you have a lower version. If so update!

    In addition, I would recommend WLan driver download Realtek page:
    http://www.Realtek.com.tw/

    You can find the most recent driver.

    Last but not least that it would be a good idea to verify that the settings in the Panel-> WLan card properties-> Advanced tab.
    Here you can change the encryption, the channel and the power saving settings.
    I recommend turning off the energy-saving WLan card.

    You should also update the Vista of the State. I read that Vista has caused a lot of issues that have been fixed with the latest patches and fixes.

  • Installing WXP on Satellite L300 (PSLB8E)

    Hello

    I have a Satellite L300 (PSLB8E) laptop computer and I want to install Windows XP, but unfortunately, I still get an error message after you start the XP CD (XP Setup has encountered a problem, the Setup will leave...)

    Is there a solution?

    You use the Microsoft disk to install Windows XP? Then you need the SATA drivers to install in AHCI mode or the consistent value in the BIOS but so will lose some system performance.
    In the Forum are already a large number of discussions on this subject, in order to check the threads here.
    And take a look at this: http://195.182.196.33/kb0/TSB8602DB0001R01.htm

    However, it could also be that the CD is noisy or something else. Try another disc.

  • How to restore the Satellite L300 PSLB8E to factory settings?

    I have problems with repeated "crash" of my system.
    I get the dreaded blue page, which then restarts (usually) pretty quickly.

    I think trying the option 'Restore factory settings', but I've never done this before.
    If I do, which will leave it on my computer?

    I have my own disks which I was invited to do the last few months (I just got this machine since May this year) will be I need it, or is there something else that is needed?

    Hello

    Hmm. I m wondering if you checked a few discussions here on the same theme.
    Did you?
    There are more that enough son and I m sure you will not need to create this thread after reading some reviews.

    Just a tip; the use of HARD drive recovery option will format the system partition, but the D partition (where the HARD drive recovery files are placed) wouldn't be formatted!

    If you are still not sure after reading some discussions, please ask again ;)

  • Satellite L300 - driver Open Webcam fail on Windows XP

    I know this is a common problem, I've been on this forum for days and found no solution. I have a satellite L300 PSLB8E, I lowered from VISTA to windows XP. I downloaded the drivers from your Web site, camera Assistant, but he says failure of webcam driver restart the computer or camera. That never solved the problem. Are there 2 different drivers, given that your site has only one, IE one for the camera and the other for the software? I have uninstalled, reinstalled, deleted the driver control panel, reinstalled, nothing works.

    Someone please end my misery by giving a clear answer to this question and many others.

    Thank you

  • Satellite L300 wireless works do not with my particular brand of modem

    Hello, I really need help here.

    My laptop is Toshiba Satellite L300, and I got it since April. I can't connect wireless via the modem I have here at home (netgear DGN2000).
    I can connect to other modems however. I've updated my wireless with Atheros card, but its still does not.
    If anyone has any suggestions please please please help!

    Thank you

    If you can connect to other routers on that it is proof that your laptop WLAN module works properly.
    In my opinion you cannot connect to your one because of wrong settings on your router.

    Your laptop detects your router? Your router is visible for Satellite L300?

  • Satellite C6070D-10W works quite slow

    TOSHIBA SATELLITE C6070D-10w works quite slowly.

    (1) my brand new laptop with factory installed windows 7 and all the programs by nothing added Toshiba shows 100% CPU usage in the task Manager and works quite slowly. The sum of 80 strange process in the Task Manager is never more than 30 to 50%, but the key is always 100%.

    (2) I've updated memory + 2 GB so now it's all 4 GB DD3 1333

    (3) I update new BIOS

    (4) when is with adapter work with 1500 MHz CPU when I take off the laptop adapter cable is working with 700-750 MHZ CPU tested with CPU - Z

    In my opinion it's problem with hardware with the processor AMD APU E - 240 with technique of AMD Radeon HD 6310 of Factory graphics card problem or where is the problem?

    Hello

    It is not easy to discuss this theme, although you can find many discussions about similar problems. I would like to have your laptop in front of me, optimize the operating system preinstalled on my way and check how it works.

    In my opinion, the best option is its use of original OS preinstalled with specific modification and optimization. Why? Recovery image contains all the necessary drivers so hardware will work with maximum efficiency. All the rest is individual OS configuration. To be clear, the recovery image contains a lot of useless things you can delete the system; You must also change the start option and disable the beginning of all things, you don't need.

    Upgrade of RAM has been very good decision, I just hope you bought the module of high quality for the upgrade.

    When you test video performance try using diet plan high performance.

  • Satellite L300 PSLB8E - how to increase the ram clock speed

    I have a laptop which is equipped with 2 slots for ram PC2-6400
    1 - Samsung module M4 70T5663QZ3-CF7 [800 MHz] 2GB
    2 - Samsung module M4 70T2864QZ3-CF7 [800 MHz] 1 GB
    GPU: Intel GM45
    Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo T5870 Mobile @ 2000 MHz
    According to the manufacturer, this kit allows you to work with the 667/800 MHz memory speed, but the problem is that reference programs show the actual frequency of the ram at 399 MHz.

    Question No. 1:
    (a) why not clock the memory works in 800 MHz but only 399 MHz,
    (b) how to change to a 800 MHz

    Question No. 2:
    I'm going to buy a processor
    Penryn Core 2 Duo T9600 processor (1066 MHz FSB) (2.80 G) Hz or T9400 (2.53 G)
    and install it in the computer
    and increase the memory of 2 x 4 GB 800 MHz (8 GB)

    I explained that this possibility is provided for by the manufacturer according to the Maintenance Manual for:
    Toshiba computer
    Satellite L300/L305
    Satellite Pro L300
    EQUIUM L300
    SATEGO L300
    (PSLB8x/PSLB9x)
    (PSLBAx / PSLBBx)

    If this operation will help to improve system performance

    I put t know what programs you use and if it is good or not if this info can be good and perhaps not. I put t know. The fact is that you n t have one any influence on the functionality of memory and I doubt that you can do something and change some values.

    Exact specification for laptop laptop does not for me but I think that Satellite L300 must have Intel GM45 chipset and I presume that for your motherboard FSB is 667 MHz. You can improve up to 8 GB and compatible 4 GB RAM module has PA3670U-1M4G part number.

    Upgrade CPU on Satellite L300? I put t know man. A friend of mine has this model of laptop and I don t know if it's the right decision to spend money to upgrade this old model of laptop budget.

  • Satellite L300-1 has 3 - slow start WinXP SP3

    Hello everyone

    Recently, I installed Windows XP (service pack 3) on my laptop * Satellite L300-1 has 3 (Dual core T3200, 3G of RAM) *.
    There is a problem: starting time on the computer and enter in Windows is too long (about 60 seconds)
    I have not any application on my laptop, and I didn't have this problem when it had Windows XP (service pack 2)
    Would you please help me on why this problem exists?
    Thanks for your cooperation!

    You must determine what is the cause of the delay. It could be a driver incompatibility.

    Google "Bootvis". Its a Microsoft utility that records everything that happens during startup and displays a grid with delays in the services, drivers, peripheral, etc...

  • My Satellite L300 only works on battery

    Hello

    Excuse me because I'm not English.
    Then my L300 pc works only on the battery because when I put the charger it goes down and restarts... or displays a screen of any color.
    I did some tests of memory, hard disk, the operating system, but it did not work.
    What draws my attention is that in 'safe mode' (I used windows 7) I have no problem. No pc crashes when loading.

    My last resort is to see on the side of the BIOS (try to update). What do you think?
    My version of my BIOS is Insyde 1.20.

    Thank you to

    When you connect the AC adapter / CC, start Notepad and enter the BIOS settings, leave it for a while, the same thing happens again?

    Hello

    Don t know what can cause this, but you must check the CPU and GPU performance parameters in the power management of the Windows operating system.
    In many cases the CPU and performance GPU would automatically to prevent overheating of the hardware store.
    You may need to clean the cooling modules.

    But if this produces only play online games then I would recommend controls the speed of the internet as well.
