Satellite 5000-501: Crash problem

Hello everyone. I bought a portable Satellite 5000-501 a few years ago. For two weeks now my laptop goes down suddenly after a period of two to three hours of work with it. I have to wait five minutes to have the current on again once. I connect to Internet with ADSL connection by a cardbus pcmcia for ten days now. Do you think that this is the problem?
Waiting for relief

Hi AirG,

many things may be your problem,

What does occure when the laptop crashed down and you wat to restart! If the Red Toshiba logo appears or is the black screen?

The fan works when the laptop crashed down?

You have hardware problems with your PCMCIA card? Check in the Device Manager!

What type of programs are runing when it crashed down? Games, Office programs or anything?

Please describe a little more, so it's easier to help you!

Goodbye Chris

  • Satellite 5000 - HDD crashes

    Hi all

    does anyone know of a tool to check my HARD drive? Or did someone knows if we can read the S.M.A.R.T. information off the HARD drive firmware? I heard that the S.M.A.R.T. information can indicate if the HARD drive is faulty?

    Advice on diagnostic tool would be great to have!

    Rusty

    Hello

    I found a shareware program called DriveSitter 1.3. Google all over the place. I'm sure you'll find a tool that can give you useful information about your HARD drive.

  • Satellite Pro A110 crashes during the transfer of the large data in LAN

    Hello

    My Satellite Pro A110 crashes during the transfer of the large data in LAN. The network driver is a Realtek RTL8139/810 x Family Fast Ethernet NIC I've been looking through this forum and found some wire whit exactly the same problem, saying that the solution is to update Realtek lan set up in BIOS, not the computer BIOS, but I can't find any link to download the necessary upgrade file. Can anyone tell me please where to find this upgrade file or send it to me directly?

    Thanks in advance

    Is - this transfer of data in the company where you work? Do you want to download data from the server, or how to understand this? How to understand what you mean under big data?

    Have you tried downloading data on the Internet? For example, if you try to download some trailer HD (more than 200 MB)?

  • Satellite L850 - Intermittent crashing with BSOD

    My Satellite L850-1LK crashes with the following error message intermittently: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (athw8x.sys). An online search in some other forums suggested that I should update the driver for my Atheros wireless network adapter. I did - including uninstall it completely before reinstalling with the driver downloaded from Toshiba's own site.

    I always get the BSOD, so any other suggestions would be appreciated. (I'm under 64-bit Windows 8)

    Hello

    What version of driver and what version of BIOS that you use?

    I had the same problem but not with the Toshiba laptop.
    I discovered that the installed McAfee utility causes the BSOD.
    I suggest that you remove and replace with another software antivirus like Avast! or Avira antivir.
    Both are free and can be downloaded for free.

    But of course I updated the Atheros Wlan driver too!
    You must remove the driver and uninstall the driver properly package.
    This can be done in Device Manager!
    Then clean the operating system using CCleaner!
    Reactivate the wireless lan, then install the latest driver.
    Previous updates must have replaced only part of the package of driver causing the problem.

  • Replace the DVD/CD-RW a DVDRW on Satellite 5000-204?

    I just bought a new NEC ND - 6650A mounted in my Toshiba Satellite 5000-204. It fits well, despite the wedge had to be cut in a corner, but everything fits perfectly.

    Before I bought it, I called Toshiba and they said, that it will not work, I would only put need updated BIOS. I've updated the bios (I have version 1.80), but the laptop does not recognize the drive.

    I tried to access the BIOS by pressing ESC at the start, but after that, a message appears saying: 'Press F1 to the default' and not more options are available. How can I access the BIOS settings?

    When it starts, the DVD player turns on the light, so I guess that is not a problem with the drive itself.

    Any suggestions? I'm out of ideas.

    Hi David

    And what happens if you press F1? After that, you should be able to enter the BIOS settings.

  • Satellite P205D-4378 crashed so that the BIOS update

    Hello everyone,

    It is my first post on the forum, although I've read here a lot.

    My problem seems to be classic: had several problems with my Satellite P205D-4378 crash.
    Visited the Web from Toshiba site, they have a BIOS update that fixes the problems that I have. I do the update, CRAAAASH!, dead computer.

    Death seriously.

    Turn on the other computer, search, find a few websites on "crisis recovery disk Phoenix.

    I read religiously, run to the store, buy a FDD, some readers, usb, the Bios file download, rename, make the drive...

    Trembling with anxiety, I press FN + b, switch on the machine, and it works!

    Well well... at least the works of the Zombie fashion: pink LED, high speed fans, manages the USB FDD, begins the USB FDD, he read for a good two minutes! Then nothing.

    'It's ok, it'll be ok' I think. The starting block is a program that is not more than 4 k, the computer has no bios, impossible to use anything, and must digest a 1000 k bios.

    I wait, nothing happens.

    SO what now? I tried the 'start FDD' ten times at least. Last try, I waited all night! I Went sleep after the computer read the floppy).

    Whatever I do, once the disk has been read, nothing happens.

    I turn it off, I unplug it, I try with battery, no battery, I speak well, I insult, I pray, I cry, I swear... NOTHING WORKS!

    I do something wrong, somewhere.

    On my drive are the phlash16.exe, the minidos.sys and the bios.wph (extract from a file named AASA40. ROM, downloaded with the pack zip on the toshiba site)

    What should I do? I read it on some forums that computer makers like Dell and Compaq deliberately disable the Boot Block Flash, is the same thing with Toshiba?

    The latest version of the bios that I have downloaded is corrupted?

    Is it possible that my motherboard is physically by the update failed? In this case, is it easy to replace yourself?

    I don't want to be ripped off by Toshiba for repair, if the only thing that I miss so far is a combination of keys at the end of the flash Boot Block recovery...

    In short, I'm lost.

    No idea to this wonderful group of reflection?

    Thank you

    Baaharb.

    I think that the update of the BIOS based on windows is security more like an update of the traditional Bios.
    Why? Because using the traditional BIOS there is always a risk that the wrong BIOS would be used.
    The BIOS using focused on victory, this risk does not exist.

    I know a lot of people who uses a bad BIOS and damaged module BIOS ROM.

    Anyway. To show you, I think that there is one solution as mentioned by delvoie, you will have to contact the local ASP.

    See you soon

  • Satellite 5000 Bluetooth or not

    I just bought a Toshiba Satellite 5000 today and one that sold me was told that equipped with a built-in Bluetooth device, but when I press the FN + F8 key nothing happen. I search the Web but can't find a list or something with the data sheet for this laptop (is not new). Can someone tell me whether or not have a Bluetooth device is integrated?
    Sorry for my English

    Hello

    I'm not sure but I think that some of the 5000 series have a Bluetooth connection. Why you didn t see a complete description of the notebook (5000-XXX)? Put the wireless card and check the FN + F8 key combination. If Bluetooth is onboard, it will appear in the window that appears by pressing FN + F8.

  • Satellite A50-110 crashed - replacement of the CPU

    Hello.

    I should say this microprocessor appreciate supports laptop Satellite A50-110, crashed and they wanted change.

    Thank you

    Hello

    You want to replace the CPU?
    Do you think its faulty?
    How did you check that?

    To be honest this A50 is truly oldie the CPU that was used is Intel Pentium M 725 (1.60 GHz, 2 MB Cache, 400 MHz FSB, L2)

    I'm not sure that this chipset was built in but generally if you want to use the new CPU, ensuring that the chipset would support the new processor.
    But even if the chipset would support the new processor, there is always a question regarding BIOS support it might be possible that BIOS wouldn't treat a new CPU.

  • Satellite Pro A100 crashed during Windows BIOS upgrade, now does not start.

    Satellite Pro A100 crashed during the upgrade of the bios from windows (upgrade the bios using windows), now the laptop will not boot. I press the on switch and it gives me just a blank screen, so I think that resets itself. I really need help solving this because I have a University paper due in the next few days and I need my laptop!
    Close for any help.

    It's a scream! :_| : O

    This looks like a damage ROM module!
    How did you do the BIOS update? I have red in this forum that a wrong procedure or wrong BIOS can damage the motherboard.

    I think that it s a deal. I put t know if it s needed to change the entire motherboard or update the BIOS again but I n t think you will be able to do it yourself.

    I think the best way is to ask the Toshiba service partner in your country.
    I think they'll give you more details on the handling of the Fryer

  • Open the cover satellite 5000?

    I tried to open my lap top to get out the dvd drive, but I can't get the cover off. for me, it seems that there are still 4 screws left but does not unscrew. I thought u could just remove the dvd drive. If it screws or do I have to pull harder (I don't want anything of the things up.

    Hello

    Sorry I have to say that the DVD to the Satellite 5000 series drive is fixed mounted!

    As far as I know no disassembly of the plans are available on the net!

    Only one Service Toshiba partner has access to the plans!

    You can try to open it, but at your own risk!
    There is a high risk to damage the laptop, i.e. wrong screw in ca to cover damage to the motherboard or the cover!

  • How to connect my Satellite 5000-104 to a TV?

    Hi, I hope someone can help. I have an old Toshiba S5000-104 which works perfectly. However, I wanted to plug into a TV screen and there is a handset very strange video-out/line connector (not a standard composite or s-video) and I do not know the type of cable that would be required for the connection. If anyone knows, your help would be very appreciated!

    Thank you

    R

    Hello

    Hmm, as I m not wrong not the Satellite 5000-104 has been equipped with a video 15-pin VGA and TV output port composite video jack with stereo audio 3.5.

    VGA video port can be used to connect the external monitor and the composite output TV connect to TV to the laptop.

    I think you should Google for composite 3.5 mm cable and I sure that you will find a compatible m.

  • Re: Satellite P200 (PSPB6E) - keyboard problem

    Hello

    I have a keyboard with Satellite P200, series PSPB6E problem.

    Keyboard seems to generate Press Page Down constantly, although nothing has been paid to this subject.
    It is even difficult to turn on laptop, because it produced consecutive beeps and prevents the computer from starting.

    Sometimes some keyboard characters do not work, and in the second time it works. Sometimes same PgDown works as expected.
    Œuvres for additional keyboard, but it also receives PgDown keyboard of the laptop.

    Now, I can't insert any sentence in this post, because PgDown will move the cursor down.
    Laptop is under warranty. Should I enable it?

    I note that no. LIQUID is poured on the keyboard.

    On the keyboard of the computer laptop not work keys A, B, N, LEFT SHIFT, INPUT, same brief moments where PgDown keys not dumping. Sometimes even these key works!

    Best regards
    Vladimir Stefanovic

    Great news, buddy! :)

    I also have good experience with my ASP. They fixed the laptop as soon as possible and the repair took only a few days. It's also free.

    So still I m happy with the service!

  • Satellite P300 - 156 Windows 7 Crash problem

    Hello
    I have the Toshiba Satellite P300 - 156 PSPC4E, model and I've had this laptop for a couple of years now.
    Before installing windows 7, I got the default Windows Vista installed and it worked fine.
    Now since installing windows 7, no matter WHAT game I try and play just causes the cell to go black screen and turn off after about 5-10 minutes of play.
    I thought that this was due to an overheating problem... so I opened the laptop and cleaned all that and then put it back together again.
    (YES I checked all the wires are back where they should be and all the components are working properly)
    It did not work.
    Then I tried updating all my drivers and software ect.
    Still nothing.
    I searched on through pages and pages of search results for the same problems with Windows 7 and the game crashing... but nobody seems to know how to fix it.
    I thought it was just windows 7, but I re installed windows vista and it's always done the same thing on there now.
    I tried to install all the drivers of the model for this laptop toshibas site and not luck.
    My windows vista and windows 7 are two authentic copies.

    All the hardware is functioning normally (as far as im aware) and I really don't see what can cause this problem.

    If someone could give me some advice on what to do it would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Which driver you use display? I m P300 owner but not on my A300, I had a similar problem that the laptop has crashed during a game. It seems that the reason was a 3rd party driver or let's say the driver of the manufacturing of the graphics chip directly. I think that because they are not prétestées on the cell and causing overheating

    So I recommend you to install the latest driver of display on the Toshiba site.

    Finally and above all what version of Windows 7 (32 or 64-bit), you have installed and what version of BIOS?
    From Toshiba Web site also shows the new BIOS versions and several versions 32 bit and 64 bit OS. Maybe you have to day/edit, who knows?

  • Satellite M40: Win XP install after crash problem - ser.number system

    Hello

    I would ask you what I'll do. I bought new computer toshiba satellite m40 laptop about 5 years in London.
    There was no Win XP Recovery cd (no partition recovery on the hard disc as well), just cd with drivers of toshiba in the box. Now my system crashed.

    Took me a long time to understand what it was. (BSOD - 'not ACPI-compliant') I almost tried everything same format of HARD drive.
    Later I completely dismantled cell, cleaned up the dust inside and it works again - no BSOD.

    Now I need to install my WinXP back. So I downloaded Windows XP service pack 3 CD and tried to install it.
    It won't take my serial number I have on a sticker on my toshiba.

    Please help me, what should I do?

    I paid for WinXP (System was included in the price) and now I can't use it.

    > There was no Win XP Recovery cd (no partition recovery on the hard disc as well), just cd with drivers of toshiba in the box.

    I put t think that recovery disk came with the laptop.
    Recovery disk shipped with the laptop from the M40 because it s an old series of laptop and drive HARD recovery was not available on this old laptop series. If HDD recovery is not available and that the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator was not preinstalled, then you will always get a disc of recovery with Notepad.

    Therefore, I am sure this recovery disk was part of the package as the other disks (disk s, tools and utilities in Toshiba driver base) were part of the package.

    The point is that the serial number which is a space at the bottom of the unit belongs to the operating system on the recovery disk.
    Generally, you may not use other Windows systems.
    The recovery disc has already been activated, and therefore, it was not necessary to activate it again.

    Please check this page of order recovery disk Toshiba:
    https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx
    Here you can order recovery disks, but I do not know if your laptop is still supported because it 5 years.
