Satellite A100-784 (PSAANE) - CPU is 100% most of the time

Hello

I have this Toshiba Satellite A100-784 and it has Vista Home Basic as the operating system. The CPU is at 100% most of the time, and I don't know what to do more (I've eliminated all unnecessary programs that might have a background process). Sill, form 100% of the CPU, the core load takes 40 to 60% most of the time.
I thought to install XP to make it work, but after reading the forum is not that simple, due to the fact that the HARD drive can be SATA.

Can you help me with this situation? I can hardly work on this laptop and I think to change the brand if I don't find a solution to this, even Toshiba is my favorite.
Thanks for your time answering this problem.

Kind regards!

All you have done is just, but you must understand that no one knows here Setup OS and what you've done in the past.
If you are not satisfied with the way in which your laptop is now running the best thing you can do is to back up all your important data and install Vista using delivered Toshiba Recovery CD/DVDs.

After doing this you will own preinstalled OS and everything should be OK again.

  • Satellite A100 - 784 PSAANE: Installation of Vista Edition Home Premium processor in a box

    Hi guys, I would like to ask you a difficult question for me :)

    I have Toshiba Satellite A100 - 784 PSAANE with Windows Vista Home Basic 32-bit OEM Czech and
    DVD from Toshiba product recovery. I converted (boxed) Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 Eng as a gift
    There are. And now to the point :) - I would like to install this new Vista Home Premium instead of
    Home base OEM.

    1.) am I allowed to install Home Premium without any problem? (I'm worried the WinRE partition)

    2.) if I can't do it because of the WinRE partition, can I save this partition and remove it?

    (3.) if I do, I am able to download all the drivers from Toshiba site driver Toshiba (value
    added package for the most part)?

    4.) I am able to download all the utilities Toshiba?

    5.) if I use the product Recovery DVD in the future (with this Home Basic OEM), it will work if WinRE partition
    is deleted?

    Thank you for your response.

    Hello

    (1) you can install the new Vista easily. When installing new Vista installation program should create a new WinRE partition too. If don t be worried. But I recommend creating a backup of your important files such as mp3, photos, etc...

    (2) you can do the installation should be possible and should go smoothly. But don t forget to include the SATA drivers that are necessary to recognize the HARD drive. On the Toshiba page, you might find the Intel Storage Manager that contains the SATA driver. Include the driver during the installation procedure using the F6 key.

    (3) Yes, Vista drivers should appear on the page of the European driver Toshiba.

    (4) see point 3 ;)

    (5) the product recovery DVD will format the whole HARD drive. It will delete the partitions and all will remove the HARD drive. And it will also create the new WinRE partition. Simply said; the Toshiba Vista recovery DVDs will fix the laptop back to factory settings

  • Satellite A100 - 784 PSAANE - screen turns off automatically

    Hi friends,

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 - 784 PSAANE with windows visa Home Basic edition.
    Now for 15-20 days I am facing a strange problem. The screen of the laptop emits a sometimes (not necessarily every time) and then when the frequency increases the display turns off automatically!
    Then I must Hibernate or he put laptop to sleep to find again the screen... Seriously, I don't understand the problem.

    Please help me.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Julie,.

    It sounds as if something is harming your graphics driver causing the display to turn off. If the problem occurs only when you use certain applications or only started after installing a new application you may need to restore your system to a restore point before new applications have been installed. As a test, you can try to start your system in safe mode and see if the problem persists.

    I also recommend that you re-install your graphics drivers to see if it improves the problem.

    Other possibilities are that your graphics chip is a failure or overheating causing this problem in which case you have to return your laptop to a Service approved for the additional diagnostic agent.

    My last thought is that you may have a problem with the inverter FL (the component that provides the lighting of your LCD screen). Check, when the screen turns off, if you can still see a residual image on the screen. If yes then the FL inverter is definitely at fault.

    Don t be angry with me, but who needs to know what you did on your laptop?

    Maybe you have something has changed accidentally or installed any 3rd party applications that could have a bad influence on the settings of Vista (Yes, that is possible) or you get any Virus or malware.

    You may be able to see the hidden files and system, because this option has been activated.
    So, try to activate the hide option in the folder options.

    Or you'll flip the BONE to the beginning!

  • Satellite M30 slow start, running slow & on most of the time HARD disk activity led

    The question above with my laptop. It is used to run faster than my desktop, but has altered performance. Running XP SP2 and Norton Internet Security and Norton System Works. No error shows when executing the Tests of Norton. Have reformatted the hard drive and reinstalled software but little difference.

    Laptop takes @5 minutes to start. Open Outlook takes 10 seconds. Drive light is on most of the time so I was wondering if the hard drive related.

    Any ideas?
    Thank you very much.

    Try the freeware like HD Tune or HDD Health programs.
    These applications provide some information on the State of the HARD drive.

  • Satellite A100 - 784 PSAANE RAM upgrade

    Hi guys,.

    I want to ask you for advice. I would like to change my 2 x 512 MB (SO - DIMM DDR2 533 MHz PC4300) to 2 x 2 048 MB (I use Vista 32 bit and I know that it will not use 4 GB of RAM, but I heard it is better to use two same modules). But I would ask what module I can use:

    1st http://kingston.mironet.cz/2048mb-sodimm-ddr2-533mhz-cl4-kingston+dp71838/

    or

    2nd http://kingston.mironet.cz/2048mb-sodimm-ddr2-667mhz-cl5-kingston+dp71837/

    Thank you for your advice :)

    Hello

    If you have the choice between the 667 Mhz and 533 Mhz module.

    The fact is that both modules must be compatible, but speed supported depends on the bus front end (FSB)
    If the FSB is 533 Mhz so your 667 Mhz will ONLY work at 533 Mhz.

    Simply put, said that the FSB might slow the speed of the memory.
    Then you should check what FSB, supports your laptop.

    You could install a free tool like Everest Home edition to a diagnosis of the hardware.

    > It's kind of weird because on this model I have on board, Bluetooth means that my Bluetooth on board burned?
    > How can I check if my Bluetooth on board still work?

    First laptop was equipped with BT and the BT should work.
    I see that you have installed the OS manually

    If you want to check if the BT module still works then use the Toshiba Recovery CD and reinstall the new OS. The Toshiba Recovery CD contains and supports all the drivers of Toshiba and after the installation of the new and the laptop back to factory settings switching BT should work using the FN + F8 key combination.

  • Satellite A100-784: could I use driver Nvidia on the graphics chip Intel

    Hi all

    I know that this particular laptop uses the graphic intel GMA 950. Why then were the nvidia drivers on my laptop as well during the installation of the OS (Vista Basic)?

    I visited the Toshiba website for updated drivers up-to-date, and once again, I find drivers nvidia on the download page.

    What day if I need to update the drivers graphics? Drivers Intels GMA, the nvidia drivers or both?

    Thank you

    Hello

    You're right: this laptop uses Intel 945GM graphics card.
    BUT it seems that Toshiba provides this A100 series with different graphics cards (Inel, nvidia, ati) and so the image of Vista includes 3 different drivers graphics: NVidia graphic driver, ATI and Intel graphics driver graphics driver.

    But if you want to update the graphic card driver, you have to choose only the Intel driver package

    What do not know exactly?

    The laptop has only VGA and S-Video output port but no HDMI port. So that you can t connect the laptop to the TV because you can t connect the HDMI cable to your computer.

    If your TV is VGA or S-video port, you can use this cable. After the connection to the TV, press the key combination FN + F5 to switch between monitors.

    Is my laptop Toshiba A100 - 784 PSAANE and I use Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit (No OEM base Vist I got when I bought this laptop).

    Thanks for your advice.

    Hello

    Satellite A100 - 784 PSAANE works without problem?
    If Yes, then why you want to update anything?

    I have followed this recommendation; never change a running system.

    And in addition only a hint: use always the Toshiba page tools and drivers. Don t install any driver tool from 3rd party page if it of not really necessary.

    Hello

    The Toshiba driver page offers drivers for Satellite A100 series and not for simple models like A100-784.
    Satellite A100-784 seems to be a part of the series PSAANE.
    Therefore, look for this number in the form of driver download!

    However, I checked this page of the Toshiba driver and found only a driver of sound for this camera!
    But not don t worry!
    The A100 series mainly come with the same hardware devices and drivers from other laptops A100 could be compatible and can run on your device.

    Take my advice and try to install the unique drivers of different Satellite A100 and Equium A100 series. This can help

    Hello

    Please use the search function because this topic has already been discussed.

    What CPU do you have? If your processor supports a FSB up to 667 Mhz and the RAM should be able to do the same. So if you install RAM with a 667 Mhz front bus and you have a processor that can handle this then you will get some benefits of upgrading memory 667 MHz.

    I recommend you to download * "CPU - Z" * and check your FSB. Then install the new memory and check again. If the FSB RAM then triggers your CPU supports the new FSB.

    A good choice for the RAM would be Kingston... ;)

    Hello

    You can't compare this computer models two laptops. Now we have time to Vista and many things have changed.
    As far as I know Vista something like this is not possible. On my Satellite P200 Vista is the same. Just several, I assume that most importantly, drivers are stored on the HARD drive.

    Anyway, if you need Vista drivers you can find all the on Toshiba page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com for assistance
