Satellite A100-756: no option in the BIOS to change the CPU usage

• Satellite P100-219: model seesaw in the CPU usage graph / wireless switch

  Has anyone noticed a trend sawtooth in the graph of CPU usage (quickly repeat that 10% performance spikes) in idle operation? Crampons disappeared after I switched the wireless (WLAN & BT) light...

  Hello

  Usually, if the 3rd program tries to connect to the WLan or the BT will increase the CPU usage. It s not easy to say why it happens because no one knows what you have installed on your laptop, or what settings unique applications have.

• Satellite A100 is locked because of the fingerprint BIOS & user password

  Hi all

  I have my A100 to my work, recognition of the TouchChip fingerprint a year ago. On initial installation, I recorded my fingerprint of the windows interface.
  Six months ago I had to reinstall windows XP due to infection by the virus that is not repairable. I have installed Windows XP Home edition and downloaded all the drivers and additional software from Toshiba's site.

  I him didn't record again my fingerprints, and I have NOT activated the TouchChip software this time. My problem was only an annoying message at the time the sign that said «you have not saved your fingerprint again...» "and that's it.
  After a 2 week out of town trip (My A100 was locked in my office, and powered OFF - no connection to the sector) at first start, software TouchChip is back from the dead!

  Screen 'TouchChip Bios Extension' appeared after plugging, and my finger is required to load WXP!
  When connecting user WXP dialogue the additional message "you have not saved your fingerprint again... is always here, but I cannot start the machine without my fingerprint." After some digging later in PowerProtector (?) I found an option that says 'enable or disable the use of fingerprints for system and user password BIOS' or something like that.

  I turn this off, and the machine asked to reboot. It was the last time I saw the office.
  After reboot, the system asks password. BUT I DID NOT PUT ANY SYSTEM OR USER PASSWORD!
  Is this possible?
  I did something wrong?
  What is the solution?
  I'm locked out; I don't know why and how the BIOS is locked with a password (so I can't unlock it).
  Please someone help.

  Best regards, Georgios

  I don't know what exactly A100 computer laptop you have, but it seems that the laptop came with the Vista operating system preinstalled.

  You have installed XP and drivers XP only from the Toshiba page.
  But from my understanding, the BIOS should be updated too! The Satellite A100 series supports a special XP BIOS version. If the BIOS was not updated the laptop might not run correctly.

  I don't know if it could have a negative influence on the fingerprint, but nothing is impossible!
  However, the fact is that the BIOS asks for the password. If you don't know this, you need to remove the other... and this can be done by a service provider authorized in your country.

  Request assistance from technicians and explain the whole story! Maybe they will remove the password for free!

  Bye and good luck

• Satellite A100-756: browsers close attempt to download files from the Internet

  I bought a Satellite A100-756 just before Christmas and it has been running XP Pro SP2 absolutely fine without any problem.

  I've upgraded to Vista Ultimate this weekend and I can't download files to PC from the Internet using ANY web browser I installed.

  I dropped all the security settings just in case it was the cause of the problem but still can not do.

  If I click on a link to downliad an exe file, for example, the Run/save/Cancel dialog pop up, if I click on RUN it run the application, but if I click on SAVE, the browser closes right down.

  The same thing happens if I'm going to transfer a system file to MySpace or one of my web servers via HTTP.

  I tried IE7 +, FireFox & Opera and all do the same thing.

  It's the exact even if it is a pure install or an upgrade, and the same copy of Vista works fine on all the other machines I have here (I installed to test just in case it's a Vista only bug. it's only the Toshiba that has the problem.)

  Nothing is written to the event logs, or error report.

  Someone at - it ideas?

• Satellite A100-756: where the microphone?

  Hello.
  I just bought this computer (Satellite A100-756) 2 days ago, and in the manual it says he built into the microphone, but I can't find it.
  I was trying to voice chat on MSN messenger, but the other person couldn't hear a thing.
  I have this light manually? If the answer is "Yes", if you please tell me how to do it.

  Thanks for your help.

  Hello

  I checked the features of this unit, and according to some descriptions internal microphone is NOT available. There is a mic jack. Here, you can connect the external microphone.

  It is possible that some units of this series support and are delivered with the internal mic, but not the Satellite A100-756's.

  For most operating instructions describes all the features on the series of the laptop. But not all units support all features.

• Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E freezes on the Toshiba start screen after BIOS update

  Hello.

  Yesterday, I made an update of the BIOS on my Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E 03Z00QGR with the appropriate flash:

  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EU&selCategory = 2 & selFamily = 2 & selSeries = 153 & selProduct = 624 & langua ge = 17 & selOS = 10 & selType = all & yearupload = & monthupload = & dayupload = & useDate = null & mode = userMachines & search = & action = search & macId = & country = all & selectedLanguag e = 17 & type = all & page = 1 & ID = 58477 & DISO =-1 & driverLanguage = 42

  BIOS - 20070709111839.zip

  After flashing, the machine restarted automatically, but unfortunately it keeps now suspended from Thoshiba welcome screen. Also by pressing F2 or F12 will not change anything. It seems that the BIOS is damaged.

  I saw that in the BIOS package are delivered the two files (s10gm590.rom and s10pm590.rom) flash. But just the execution of the BIOS590MP.exe SanAntonion10 a .vbs script starts decides which automatically selects and loads a flash file. Maybe she chose the wrong?

  What should I do now? Is there a way to restore the BIOS, or do I have to send my laptop?

  Thanks in advance

• Satellite A100: Is possible to disable the graphics card, RAM sharing

• Satellite A100-TA7 hangs at POST after BIOS update

  Kind of tech swavy, I know that my chances are very low to solve this but this is.

  I decided to update the BIOS on my laptop Toshiba Satellite A100-TA7(PSAA8C-TA702C) to the latest version available (6.00).

  I did it because I've heard of people have better luck doing their job of FN keys on linux with the latest BIOS.
  The installation is completed normally (went through all the steps, wrote to all 21 blocks) without any error, but after the reboot, I noticed that it is now displayed at the Toshiba logo screen.

  The blue progress bar moves twice but got caught then about 1/3 of the way through.
  To see how bad the damage was, I Press esc at the beginning of the POST and saw that it gives me the right Version of the BIOS (6.00).

  He also told me that "no TPM or TPM has problem" and "2039 M RAM Passed system."
  It then displays the message "Press to enter SETUP" (which makes the message disappears, but otherwise doesn't do anything.

  If I press f2 during the Toshiba logo screen, it replaces the message at the bottom with "Please wait" and nothing happens even after an hour of waiting.
  (Which makes sense, because before the bar blue everything would load before entering the CMOS settings). The thing is that the BIOS is not really "freeze", it gets stuck just at a specific place (I know because I can press F2 even after an hour of waiting and the laptop meets it by displaying "Please Wait".)

  Someone at - it no more things I could try? Thank you

  It of very long history and it does not sound good

  > I decided to update the BIOS on my laptop Toshiba Satellite A100-TA7 (PSAA8C-TA702C) to the latest version available (6.00).
  I wonder about your BIOS version that I know, that the laptop series is designed for the Canadian market. It s a Canadian series and the BIOS or drivers should be downloaded from the Canadian site of Toshiba!
  Bad BIOS could cause issues like this it describes your message above!

  > I did it because I've heard of people have better luck doing their job of FN keys on Linux with the latest BIOS.
  Keys FN Toshiba need driver Toshiba and it turns out that Toshiba driver pages don t offer the drivers for Linux distributions, so I put t believe in the story spread by any people.

  I don t want to write a long story, so I would cut this now;
  Is that something was happening during the BIOS update process.
  Either you have used a procedure to update the BIOS or wring wrong and so the laptop can not pass the MESSAGE

  You will need to contact the local ASP to solve this problem, maybe you're a lucky guy and the technician should Flash the ROM module but in the worst cases, your motherboard is damage and must be replaced. :(

  Good luck

• Satellite C650D - the CPU usage is jumping around

  I bought a Toshiba Satellite C650D 2 months ago and I used the Windows 7 that came with it, thinking that it was fine and dandy until a few days ago, he started having random lag spikes.

  At first he just happen when you watch movies (tried 4 different programs, all reinstalled the driver, scanned for malware, defragmented, you name) and then she started to occur outside the viewing of film aswell. Who did it for me, and I installed Windows XP. I did 3 times now, clean install it Windows XP. Initially, it seemed fine. For a few hours, and then it started lagging really bad, not like in Windows 7, but the CPU usage is jumping all over the boundaries between 1% and 99% at random, but there is no process to take it!

  He lags behind what I do, just open the Notepad can blow. I thought that it would work with a format clean, but no, of course the problem reoccured. It might be drivers, see problems in Windows 7 and XP are somewhat different. I'm in my intelligence ends here on what to do, whatever that is would be helpful.

  Hey Buddy,

  Looks like on your laptop is a background passes process that is causing this different and high CPU usage.

  What happens if you install Windows 7 Toshiba Recovery disk and look in the Manager of tasks? Directly after this installation, you should have a low CPU usage and stable because it s installation of Windows from Toshiba.

• Satellite A45 - the CPU usage is high and slow applications

  Hi all

  I'm trying to debug a hardware problem on my Toshiba Satellite A45. I am running Ubuntu 10.04, but I don't think that it's operating system or related software.

  THE PROBLEM: The CPU usage is high and applications slowly to a crawl after using an intensive application of memory for a few minutes, i.e. to watch a video or a game. Basically, anything that could use the screen much. If instead, I work only from a prompt, even when the application could do a lot of work, I do not encounter this problem. After stopping all applications, the CPU usage is always higher than normal (90% idle, should normally be slowed down to about 99%).

  Xorg now typically showing about 6% (normally use< 2%).="" if="" i="" at="" any="" time="" after="" this="" try="" to="" work="" in="" any="" application,="" usage="" is="" still="" bogged="" down.="" only="" a="" reset="" gets="" me="" back="" to="">

  Note: My system has always worked very well and I did not made the installation of the software or changes when it started to happen.
  However, the laptop is a 800 miles round trip at the rear of the car in a padded bag.

  DEBUG: This doesn't seem to be the RAM that I replaced the RAM and reinstall the RAM, and the problem persists. This doesn't seem to be the hard drive that I can try to run it from a Live CD (without use of HARD drive) and yet everything slows to a crawl.

  HELP: I don't know how to debug from here.
  I don't have extra pieces of hardware to make swaps.

  Any ideas more how to debug this?

  Thank you

  Hello

  > I am running Ubuntu 10.04, but I don't think that it's operating system or related software.
  It s interesting why you think that this may be software related issue

  I think that it is a typical software problem because the RAM and the HARD drive has been verified you have reported this in the message

  So what to say maybe some virus or malware likely to obstruct the CPU and the memory usage
  Or there is some process in the background that are not properly

  I recommend you to reinstall the Windows operating system or another distribution of Linux that runs NO Live CD, but which is installed on the HARD drive
  I m sure that s kind of the process that is disabled and crashes somewhere in the background

• The CPU usage reaches 100% and the system locks requiring a hard restart on Windows Vista

  All of sudden the CPU usage reaches 100%, which makes the system dead slow and finally the system stops responding. I have to do a hard reboot to continue using the system.

  I tried to open the Task Manager to see if there are programs or services running that can consume resources and found nothing. The remains of number of CPU use, the graph to use but less than 10 years is hovering at 100%.

  I did not change my system.

  The problem appears on the two accounts that I installed on my operating system.

  I removed all the unwanted programs since the system was started.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

• (Redirected) Computer beeps during use. Maybe high disk or the use of the CPU usage?

  New here and new to Dell computers. 1st stop, I have a Dell XPS 13 "i7 6560u 16 GB and SSD 512. When using the computer, I get a series of 2 beeps. It seems to be related to the high use of the disc or the CPU usage. I guess my question is possible to put these notifications for a longer delay or at least decrease the volume of the beeps. I am aware that when I use one of my CSD programs to open a browser and looking for an answer to the question about what there will be times where I could get high uses a of these, that's all just annoying and not really want to turn them off entirely (option I would) I would delay having more time this will happen to until I get through this ,

• The CPU usage goes up to 50-60% right when I start the computer.

  Original title: high CPU usage

  I have a pc with windows 7 64-bit, 4 GB ram, AMD Phenom II x 2 511 processor and a Nvidia Geforce Gtx 260. The CPU usage goes up to 50-60% right when I start the computer. I ran the Task Manager and there is no program using the cpu. It has nothing to do with anny viruses because I scanned the computer with two different programs. We do not have Steam and the EA download manager. What could be the problem?

  "Idle" means "doing nothing."  Windows runs the "System Idle" process when the processor has no useful to perform tasks.

  Look at the status bar at the bottom of the Task Manager and you will see that the CPU usage does NOT include the percentage for the System Idle process.

  What are the processes other than Idle System added up to 50-60%?

  I suggest that you run an online scan using antivirus ESET online--> http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/

  and then download, install, update and run the free MalwareBytes AntiMalware--> https://www.malwarebytes.org/ version

  I expect that the MalwareBytes Installer is clean enough, but you should pay attention when installing any software to make sure that you accept all of the pre-selected options to install other bundled applications.

• The CPU usage of Flex-2 15 30% when idle after upgrade to Windows 10 * contains large Images *.

  BTW my 15 Flex-2 upgrade to Windows 10 Home took place, working after a few minor updates manual driver (WLAN, graphics)...

  However, since the upgrade, I feel an annoying symptom, which has been reported by users of other brands as well.

  Although I already follow most of related advice (known assassination unnessary process, change of reports), the CPU usage is still constantly around 30%, causing the fan to operate continuously and even more unsatisfactory: extremely affecting the battery life! Using processexplorer that I discovered, that svchost (or one of its processes) is at the origin of the problem, not one of the applications. As I am not able to dig deeper, I wonder what measures taken so far by Lenovo to have the Microsoft fix this problem.

  Attached: screenshots 'notification', 'Treaty', 'system '.

  Other tips are appreciated.

  

  

  

  Mod edit: added warning about large images for those who have slow Internet service.

  UPDATE Oct10:
  

  Went to manually check tile Lenovo Support and offered an update of SystemInterfaceFoundation.exe.

  Run the update and believe it or not: the CPU usage is almost back to normal (about 4%) with browser open FF and AV SW race. less than 2.5% use svchost. Fan turns down to 'stop' or low speed.
  Can someone pls? Be wary of situation for the next few days...

  Update Oct11:

  No idea how to mark this "resolved" thread: System runs stable like a charm. Quiet, low CPU utilization and the normal battery life.

  No other text. Problem solved. See above
