• ODD on my Satellite L550-11J is damaged - looking for new suitable device

  Hello

  device dvr from my toshiba satellite L550-11J (purchased in 2009) with windows vista 64 seems to be broken. It is a "pioneer dvd - rw dvrtd09a. It does not show in windows, not in the Solution Explorer, not in Device Manager (if cela is the English name of it, I don't know, I'm German speaking). It shows even in the bios or boot device, so I think that this is not a software problem, but the material is broken.

• 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 L550: some CDs don't play properly - scratching noise

  I have a Satellite L550, and I've been happy with it so far, as long as I didn't use listening to CD.
  Now, I discovered, that certain CD will not be played properly (scratching noise), but some are fine.

  However, when I take the "scratch" in a standard CD player, it works very well there too.

  What can I do?

  Hello

  Scraping noice? Have you tried different software?
  Winamp player or VLC is large and small applications.

  What sound card do you have? It's Realtek? If Yes, then you should try the audio driver update.
  In addition the Realtek audio chip supports the audio HD Realtek Manager located in the control panel. Here, you can change the sound properties

  But maybe a compatibility issue between the drive and the CD/DVD drive what it would be possible also

• Satellite L855 - 10 p - stop suddenly, play 3D games

  Hello

  When you try to play 3D games, after more or less playing time, often less than 10 minutes, my Satellite will suddenly stop. Subsequently, it cannot be started for some time.

  This kind of symptom is usually due to overheating, a common problem with portable Satellite (and besides, it's probably the last Toshiba I buy because they can't seem to get that fixed).
  The usual solution is to remove dust from the inside of the laptop, for example with a soft vacuum.

  It is impossible to do correctly without opening (and voiding the warranty) because they do not have access to the fan and the heat sink, put can help from time to time.

  On this model, however, the exhaust gas is block by a grid (part of the heatsink I guess, which is logical) and on consumption, the fan is blocked so he can't turn in the opposite direction, which means that it is almost impossible to s * ck dust. Result: almost impossible to remove the dust. Well played.

  So normally I would send my laptop for 'repairs' (which opens just the thing to remove dust and maybe redo the thermal paste, but you can do that yourself of course), but in this case, I noticed it very quick stop.

  I can leave it on a 2D game or old low-quality 3D games (supreme commander says mode low quality) for hours without problem, even in hot weather, but as soon as I try a newer version in the game (for example Resident Evil 6, even in low quality) it stop quickly and without feeling so hot.

  So I was wondering if maybe that this time, it would be a problem with the driver/graphic card. Let's say something like an order than crash the graphics card.

  I have an AMD Radeon HD 7670 M with the 8.932.5.3000 driver version (the only one available for this computer and Windows 7 64-bit on the Web from Toshiba site).

  Is there a known problem that could cause the graphics card to plant or overheating more than expected with this model?

  (If you're wondering why I don't write s * ck in full letter, it is because the filter of profanity on this forum don't think it's a word that can be used in a normal conversation.)

  > When you try to play 3D games, after more or less playing time, often less than 10 minutes, my Satellite will suddenly stop. Subsequently, it cannot be started for some time.

  To me, it sounds like a GPU has worked at full capacity and produces a lot of heat, leading to high internal temperature.
  To my eyes the air conditioner stops due to the high temperature.
  The laptop supports a type of protective gear. The unit will stop automatically to prevent the equipment from damage.

  Dust and debris could be one of the reasons why the parties cannot be cooled properly.
  > This kind of symptom is usually due to overheating, a common problem with portable Satellite
  This kind of symptom happens to all laptop computers worldwide because of the airflow.

  > I can leave it on a 2D game or old low-quality 3D games (supreme commander says mode low quality) for hours without problem, even in hot weather, but as soon as I try a newer version in the game (for example Resident Evil 6, even in low quality) it stop quickly and without feeling so hot

  Games running on the low quality not stress the GPU a lot and this led to the dissipation low and low temperature.

  > Is there a known problem that could cause the graphics card to plant or overheating more than expected with this model?

  I don t think so more often, these problems can be solved by changing the settings in the windows power options (decreases the performance CPU/GPU, cooling method change) and, of course, in the game settings (details down, etc.)

• Re: Satellite L670-142 - overheating when I play a game

  First I got keyboard problems with my Satellite L670-142, then it was fixed by an update of the BIOS (version 1.80).

  But now, when I play a game, it overheats and stops. Before updating the BIOS, I have never had this problem. Is it possible to install the previous BIOS or anyone know another solution?

  Brecht

  Hey,.

  If your laptop is overheating, you should try to clean using compressed air stream. This could blow the dust from the cooling fans that blocks the air. It only takes a few minutes to clean and it s not necessary to disassemble the laptop.

  Just blow air gently and shortly into the holes of the case to blow off the dust.
  Before that, shut down the laptop and remove the battery and the AC adapter.

• Fallout3, complete Crash, whenever I play the game

  Whenever I launch Fallout 3, it wont let me play for about 5-10 minutes (I timed havn't, but it seems to be pretty random) and then the computer will turn off by itself. It happens with some other games that I tried as well, but so browesing im internet or fun with a broweser-based game, everything will work fine as long as I'm leaving the computer or until I have play Fallout 3 or other games.

  Windows 7 Home Edition:
  Processor: Intel Core 2Quad CPU Q8200 2.33 GHz 2.34 GHz
  RAM: 8,00 (3.25 usable) GB
  System: 32-bit operating system

  Oh! And I play the game on a bass-model system that has run the game using only basic graphics and it does not. This computer is high, along with the game and more than double its needs.

  Also, I got the computer checked and re-checked carefully manually and with Norton antivirus, and everything is clean in all areas.

  I can't find the answer anywhere, please help.

  I heard about what past a lot actually. In addition, this game is BUUUUUGY.
  People have tried a number of things to fix it and who knows what will work for you. I will list what I found (in no particular order)

  • Reset your default controls
  • Reinstall .NET Framework (because Fallout 3 apparently installs a Beta version on your machine - which is just nasty)
  • Delete some/all of your saved games
  • Update your drivers
  • Update directX
  • Make sure that the value of transparency in low water
  • Make sure that the game is patched
  • Disable all mods
  • Update your audio driver (if the last update doesn't work, try the beta version if you feel lucky)

  I wish there was something I could tell you, but it could be really huuuuge several things...

• My Dell 15R crashes if I play a game (GTA IV, II M.a.f.i.a) for about 3-4 minutes and BSOD appears

  I just got a new Dell 15R (i7, 8 GB of RAM, 1 TB HDD, AMD HD 7730 M 2 GB graphics) and I tried to play M.a.f.i.a2 with and without steam and twice, after playing them for 3-4 minutes, the game crashed and BSOD appeared. It happened so in GTA IV. I've updated my graphics driver, but it made no difference. I also did a system restore, which also did not work. The error that I got from the event viewer:-System - Provider [name] Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power [Guid] {331C3B3A-2005-44C2-AC5E-77220C37D6B4} event 41 Version 2 level 1 task Opcode 0 keywords 0 63 ID x 8000000000000002 - TimeCreated [SystemTime] 2013-01 - 21 T 18: 52:05.392015600Z EventRecordID 12512 correlation - execution [ProcessID] 4 [ThreadID] 8 channels computer system Kasutaja-PC - security [UserID] S-1-5-18 - EventData BugcheckCode 278 BugcheckParameter1 0xfffffa80080424e0 BugcheckParameter2 0xfffff880015aaaf4 BugcheckParameter3 0 x 0 BugcheckParameter4 0 x 2 SleepInProgress fake PowerButtonTimestamp 0

  This BSOD could be linked to the power options?

  Yes. No guarantee, but when playing system emphasizing games that you want to use the High-Performance option.
  The other options are there to help extend a battery charge, but you can not expect to
  play these games on the battery (for long), or without as much power as possible.
  Your graphics for laptops is certainly capable.

• Satellite L550-1CC crashed - do not have Win 7 64 bit recovery disc

  Just bought a laptop Toshiba L550-1CC with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit installed.
  Other software had been installed on the 64-bit version and then the laptop crashed and seem to start with the OS but with a blank screen and only the Courvite of mice showing that could be moved.

  Unfortunately, the laptop came with a Windows recovery disc 7 32 bit only.
  This has been used to charge the cell phone who then worked well with all the software loaded into the hard.

  It's my wife's new laptop and she would in reverse on the 64 bit version of Windows 7 which did not appear in the Toshiba recovery disc.

  The partition of the HARD drive in the laptop has always hidden for access 64-bit original software and can make you a 64-bit recovery disc while the Toshiba is still running on 32-bit software. Having received only the new laptop, that I didn't want to spend another £30 on the purchase of a 64-bit recovery disc?

  There have been any help to settle this with gratitude because I get heckled by the boss.

  Chris

  Hi Prassky,

  If you start the recovery of HARD drive option, you should be able to restore Windows 7 64 bit. So I agree with Timox.

  But I have a question: why you didn t create the recovery disk Toshiba for Windows 7 64 bit first? It seems that you didn t read the user manual

  Anyway, to start the HARD drive recovery and hope that you will be able to create the recovery disk. If this isn't the case, you must order the Toshiba disk.

  Hi mate

  It's a shame that HARD drive you laptop is dead... I think it's just a lack of luck...
  My HARD drive died after 5 years of use...

  However, the laptop and HARD drive are covered by the warranty and replacement of HARD drive should be done for free.

  Please get in touch with a local ASP and ask the HARD disk check and replacement (if necessary)

• Satellite A300/A300D blocks when I play the game

  Operating system:

  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.
