Regular shutdowns on Tecra M5

Hello

Under XP on my Tecra M5 PTM51E T2600 2.16 GHz with 1 GB of ram, latest version of the BIOS, all driver updates, etc, etc and my M5 lock mi session every 30 minutes or more. Its used remotely (never Docked (attached) and usually with the wireless on.) The only thing that works is the mouse, all programs lock up - the only way to save is to pull on the power cord and the battery and restart. He did this as long as I remember - even if it worsens.

I noticed that it works very hot - even if by reading these forums that does not seem particularly unusual.

Any thoughts?

Thank you

Hello

Maybe these blockages are caused by high temperature?  :|
I read that the overheating causes problems of laptop strange a lot. Sometimes the laptop automatically stops or it suddenly freezes.

Especially the laptop overheats because don t cooling modules to run correctly.
Dust and debris jam fans and cooling modules cannot turn with a maximum return.
In my opinion, you should check if the cooling modules are free and if necessary try to clean. But be careful. If you have any experience please ask a technician for help.

  • No idea how I can follow all currently open files (or windows) to a file text or other sort of newspaper? Something similar to the Applications tab in the Manager of tasks, but with a path

    I am interested in creating a batch file or executable that will keep track of all of the currently open windows (files and applications)

    so that when Windows restarts I can more easily return to what I was doing before.
    This can be done either by connecting each operation on the file - open and remove items in the list when an item (file or window) is closed (logging only at this time here)
    , or by checking every 5-10 seconds that windows and files are currently open.
    I tried using TaskList, and OpenFiles to it but cannot do things, plus those also do not provide a path to open files - I want to keep the paths so that the items can be recovered (reopening) with a single click.   Any ideas how to do this?   I use Windows 7 Professional.
    My idea is to have the possibility to go back to all that I was working on, without having to memorize the list...  It is very useful for people who keep a lot of files and windows open most of the time, especially if for some reason any Windows crashes or stops the case (e.g. restart after an update...).    MS Office products can do it (by saving temporary files and allows you to recover if the program was not closed properly), a Web browser can do (keeping a story and using the session management)-why Windows can't do
    ?
    In addition, if there is such list of open windows and files then it might be possible to keep also some history and ' files/windows' recently closed, similar to how Google Chrome can show recently closed tab.
    The application that I'm developing (for my own personal use, although I would offer it to someone else) will be:
    -keep a history and a current list of open files/windows, including a path for each file opened.
    -Files/windows closed are removed from the list "now open" and moved to the list of "recently closed", which has a maximum length.
    -file/window close operations should be associated with the user control. Otherwise, opens the files that are closed
    by Windows when the judgment is no longer will be identified as open.
    -an option would be to ensure, somehow, that this request is always closed during a regular shutdown process first.
    -Another option is to simply assume that there is no problem, if Windows broke down, and that the user is reminded to close the application before you stop.
    -Another option is to have the traceable list, a user can go back a few steps up a point until Windows began to close.
    -Another option is to have the "last sitting" identified as, for example 2 minutes before closing, while keeping a list of items opened after that date.
    -list "recently closed" items that are too old (have been pushed to the bottom of the list and beyond of the length limit are moved to history.
    -l' history can be defined for a limited time or can be cleaned manually or automatically (periodically), or we can set a limit on the length for the history list.
    * the application/batch/executable is located in the Windows startup folder and it:
    -is launched at Windows startup
    -after start (automatically or manually) will display a dialog box containing a list of the items that were open before windows stop - see Creating session above.
    -user can deselect items in the list if he or she does not want to open them. "Uncheck the items of list moves to the ' recently closed" list or history.
    -by identifying which items are not kept, or simply to keep everything, the user clicks on a single button and the application opens to all items that are always enabled.  To avoid slowing down the system, an option is available to open files, in which case a flow can be set.  Defining a priority list, it is also an idea.
    If you think you have a good idea for this or want to work on it with me, please contact me at * address email is removed from the privacy *.
    If you are able to do it yourself, let me know.

    It all sounds very complicated for me, I wish you well in your efforts.

    My new Toshiba Tecra Z50-to-17 t constantly crashes on shutdown.

    At first I thought that it could connect to the Cisco all lie, as it appeared in the event viewer several times.
    After I deleted it went well for a while, but now the problem occurred again, but this time there is nothing to see in the event viewer.

    Can someone help me what is wrong and how can I fix it myself?

    Hi friendly smirou

    The laptop has been preloaded with Win 7 64 bit system.
    I guess that you are still using this system, I would recommend you to repair the system using the windows have auto repair function.

    Start Notepad, and then press F8.
    Now you should be able to access the Advanced menu.
    Here, you can choose between different options.

    You can choose the last known good configuration option.
    You can also choose the first option to fix your computer, which will open the next window, where you can access the Startup Repair feature.
    There, you might choose the Startup Repair option

    Otherwise, it would be desirable to recover the computer laptop back to settings factory just to check if its a system single or maybe hardware problem related question

  • Tecra M3 crashes regularly with a sound strange fan

    Hello!

    I'm new running (dec ' 05) Tecra M3 with Win XP SP2 and all the patches applied. The problem is that it crashes regularly.

    The symptoms are the following: display image suddenly freezes, machine responds more fully while begins to make the nosises of the "jet-engine-like", i.e. to Monte and down. The only way out of the machine is reset. Today I have updated the BIOS 1.40 (initially he 1.30). And already had two hangings. :-(

    Any ideas what could be the reason?

    Thank you!
    Alexey

    Hi Alexey

    the hangings and the noise of the fan can be connected.
    If a fact request the sponsor system to stop it might happen in some sort of loop that will make the CPU is enmeshed in this loop and the really hard work. In this case, it also generates a lot of heat, and so the fan will kick and work extra hard to cool the CPU.

    So what does this mean for you? Well, first of all don't bother on the fan. He will do his job well.

    On the contrary, trying to figure out if there is a single application or a process that is running when this happens. Try things out of the band down by eliminating certain processes and see if the situation improves.

    Think if you have installed additional memory. If so, remove it and try working with the machine for a day or two.

    Hope to have helped you

  • Tecra M4: IRQL NOT LESS where EQUAL on shutdown

    I'm building a Tecra M4 Tablet for our standard build company. After installing "vanilla" XP SP2, install the Toshiba SW from the Tools CD in the order specified by the list of browsers.

  • Tecra A7 - overheating and shutdown

    Hello

    I've had Tecra A7 for a few months now. Whenever I try to play a game, the left side of my laptop gets hot. So hot that I can not put my hand it over.

    Because almost all games require that you use the WASD keys to move around, it's very annoying. In addition to that my laptop decides he has shut down due to overheating very frequently. I cleaned all fan openings with compressed air, but it does not matter. Whenever the left would become hot.

    This allows me to play about 20 minutes and then it stops and I have to wait that he freshen up. I have a Tecra A7 with a battery PA3399U-2BRS I looked up so special that the battery was the cause of the problem. According to the utility, my battery is not eligible for the battery replacement program.

    Now, I try to find out why he gets so hot until he must stop in order to avoid the laptop burst flames probably.

    Hello

    Can I ask you how you use the laptop? Please make sure that the fans are free and that there is enough free space around the laptop!

    It s not uncommon as the cell temperature increases during the paid game.
    In such situation, all devices (CPU and GPU) run with maximum efficiency and produce more heat as usual.
    It is very important that all the fans are free

    What graphics card driver do you use? Graphics drivers from Toshiba are slightly modified and support a protection against overheating.
    If the GPU temperature will rise to a higher level, the graphics driver decreases the performance of the GPU and the temperature drops!
    So, it is advisable to use the graphics drivers Toshiba.

    But sometimes the overheating could occur due to improper functioning of the cooling module.
    In this case, the laptop must be verified by a service provider authorized in your country!

    These accidents were related to the corruption of memory (probably caused by a driver).

    Run these two tests to check your memory and find which driver is causing the problem.  Launch auditor.  You don't need to run memtest again unless the auditor is not the cause, or you want to.

    If you are overclocking anything reset by default before running these tests.
    In other words STOP! If you don't know what it means that you're probably not

  • Tecra M5 hangs during the shutdown process

    Thanks to those who responded to my query. With your advice, I have now uninstalled Norton Ghost - and the problem disappeared, my machine now stops, goes to sleep and Hibernate properly and wakes up again properly. The next question to consider is why this is the case with Ghost and it is something that I intend to meet with Norton. If I answer, I'll post again. See you soon

    I also installed the Norton Ghost on my laptop, but I've never had no problem with the closing of the bottom.

    I think the ghost started always while the Windows has been started and the ghost was running in the background.
    This can be disabled in the registry.

    I removed the ghost registry entry in Hkey machine Microsoft windows current version of the software - run

  • Satellite L850-E8S - shutdown problems

    Hello everyone

    I bought Toshiba Satellite L850-E8S with Windows 8.0 (for a single language) preinstalled in October 2013. At the moment I can't get stop normally.

    Question: * pressing Shutdown (stop) of charms goes up "Windows is shutting down" and after that the screen turns off but power light is lit and the fan keeps operate.* I stop it by pressing the power button, I really want to quit smoking. (Once I didn't notice that and put the laptop in a bag for a few hours and it of a miracle that no equipment would have been burnt, despite the laptop was hot like the Sun) * the problem started after a month of use, and I didn't think her yet.*

    First of all, I thought that the case concerns him * hybrid Shutdown in the Win8. I have visited many forums dedicated for hybrid stop, proven fruitless discussions. *! AND! I had the same problem on my laptop with a slight difference - loading Win7 and Linux * the monitor stays on (with the lights and the fan on either). *
    Moreover, I also saw a BSOD after a day I bought the laptop. This problem concerned Realtek Audio driver and SRS Premium sound. As I understood the question is drivers conflict. Right now I have no installed Audio SRS premium and see no BSOD, but Realtek audio driver is not stable: the sound either begins to work in a few minutes after starting windows or it does'nt work at all.

    First of all, I wish really that someone to help me with the shutdown problem. All tips are welcome.

    Thank you.

    Well, some models are equipped with an mSATA SSD instead of a hard drive.
    But there is only one place to connect the hard drive SSD SSD/HDD or mSATA.

    In the case of mSATA SSD drive, there is a special mSATA HOLDER that lets connect you the mSATA SSD to a 2.5 SATA controller ".

    Hello

    I have a Tecra Z40-A-12Z with 7 fully updated Windows (Windows Update AND Tempro).

    When the PC goes to sleep, very often, he refuses to wake up: sometimes the screen remains blank and I have to do a long press on the i/o button to force a shutdown and then it reboot. Or sometimes, I get a BSOD with 0x9f DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE message.

    Someone knows what's the problem?

    Hello

    I googled a bit around (error code) and there are a few hits in the google list.
    According to some people with this problem, the problem might be related to one of the drivers installed
    Probably one of the devices doesn't wake up upward or doesn't function properly after wake-up system. This can cause the BSOD.

    One of the users in the Microsoft community solved the similar problem, update the Intel graphics driver.

    I think you should check all the drivers maybe you should also get the laptop back to factory State and should test the functionality of the system immediately after that the laptop was recovered.
