• Satellite A100 freezes

  Hello world

  Sorry for my English but I'm French. I'll try to do my best to describe my problem.

  I bought Satellite A100 2 months ago.
  After I completed the installation of Vista, I changed the partition of my hard disk, I put a few MB on my my d: C:
  I installed OpenOffice 2.0 and that's it.

  Almost every day my laptop freeze: there is a single reaction, that is when I stopped it by the power button.
  This problem occurs when:
  -I do nothing
  -L' computer goes into sleep mode
  -I'm working on open office
  -J' using IE7

  I did update to Vista (home edition) and the driver for the graphics card is the last of NVIDIA.

  Anyone has the same problem?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Hmm... not easy to say why the A100 freezes. I think that the application of the 3rd party could is a bad influence on Vista. Also the C partition changed may cause this issue.

  In my opinion, you should retrieve the laptop using the Toshiba Recovery CD.
  Can use and work on the laptop (without installation of 3rd party) to check if the laptop freezes using factory settings!

  If the laptop works properly and without the buttons then the material is not defective and the problems are related to software and simple programs.

  If it is not advisable to install and use these programs. ;)

• Satellite A100 freezes after Windows messenger installation

  Hello

  I downloaded a new version of Windows messenger, shortly after I received this message from Dr watson postmortem debugger.
  I have never seen anything like this before.
  When I went to check the details of what the model froze, I used cont alt + del and end of the task came.
  The only thing I could do was turn he took not stop it's frozen, I tried again and I get the toshiba screen then a few minutes loading desktop icons.
  The icons disappear so that they appear again, it won't let me do anything anyone can help, thanks a lot.

  Hello

  It seems that the Microsoft Messenger is responsible of this gel! Dr. Watson appears because this is a debugger for Microsoft Windows.
  If Dr. Watson is running and a Windows application crashes, Dr. Watson creates a report containing technical information that can help developers to determine what caused the application to crash.

  You talk like a beginner with internal Windows not much experience. If you are not able to start the operating system in the right order, I advise to use the recovery CD Toshiba for the new installation of the OS. This should help you to restart the laptop.

• Satellite A100 keeps freezing after a short period

  Hi, I wonder if anyone can help.

  I have a Satellite A100 laptop. The laptop starts without any problem. However, after a short period of time the system crashes and I have to reboot the machine.

  I am running Windows XP Home Edition. I tried to reinstall a new copy of windows XP Edition family. However, the laptop continues to freeze when I try to do something.

  Although the real time, it takes before it freezes changes each time.

  I have two 512 MB RAM chips, and I thought it was a fault memory. So I took each chip out, leaving the other chip in. It makes no difference, the machine hangs with either chip.

  Help, please. I would like to hear from anyone who might suggest what's not here.

  Thanks in advance

  Maybe the temperature inside the laptop could be the reason of this gel.
  I had once similar there is question. My frizzy 6 specifications because the temperature affected the memory modules.
  So I cleaned the cooling fans using a jet of compressed air and I replaced the thermal grease which is a space between the cooling module and CPU. This helped...

  You can try to clean the cooling also fans. But be careful and if you have no experience, then a mobile technician should help you.

  Good luck

• Satellite A100 - keeps freezing and crashing

  Hello
  I've got a 2.5 years old Satellite A100. He was going well until recently, when I found that the pc freezes completely - this looks only happen when I move the cursor on the screen. The only thing I can do, it's a hard re-boot.
  The problem has become more common, and I had to reinstall the operating system (using the disc that came with the laptop). After you have reinstalled everything worked well. But all of a sudden the same problem reappeared. I thought maybe it was different software clash between them and so I once again re-formatted the hard drive and reinstalled the operating system.
  This time it froze once more as I move the mouse around the screen. But it's happened before that I had installed anything on the PC. It is an entirely new installation.

  I also want to mention that this problem occurred first a year ago. At that time I had to wipe the hard drive and reinstall the OS and it worked fine until about 2 weeks ago, when I've updated my "spybot search & destroy ' software." It was after this the problem started again. The rest of the story is as above.

  Just to mention that, after that the problem started 2 weeks ago, I reinstall the mouse driver using the touchpad driver that is available on the Web from Toshiba site.

  Please help - I have been re - install the OS on / off power for 2 weeks now and I still have the problem. I am close to giong out and buy a new PC!

  Hello

  It's strange, and I think it looks like a hardware issue because you used the disk recovery Toshiba and after that, the same problem occurs.

  But it's not easy to say what causes this problem. You can check the RAM and HARD drive using Drive Fitness Test and Memtest86. Use Google to find the two programs. You can download an image bootable in these two programs. You must burn it to a CD and boot from it.
  If the peut t-tests is a mistake your laptop should be checked by a technician for laptop.

  Maybe you can find the problem yourself, and to swap the RAM or HARD drive, it's pretty easy.

• Satellite A100-225 keeps freezing and crashing with the new HARD drive

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite A100-225 with a 100 GB SATA Hitachi drive I int it that recently started showing bad sectors. Then I bought a Hitachi 320 GB SATA II drive to replace it. I tried the drive and it was recognized right away, so I didn't need to change the SATA speed. I ran the restore a disk installed newest. The problem I have is that the computer keeps freezing and crashing with the new drive. It takes a lot of time to load up when turned on and there is a noticeable to untermittant delay when you drag the cards around solo.

  I tried to run the Hitachi drive test and it comes back fine. I also tried to turn the SATA speed of the drive down from 300 to 150 via the firmware, and although I saw a slight improvement, it is still not right.

  I talked to Hitachi and they say that he could not be 100% compatible, so the problems. Someone at - it else sucessfully set up a replacement for this notebook drive and if so what make and model. Has anyone else had simular problems?

  Thank you

  Years ago, I've updated yet more former Satellite M70 with SATA HDD (270 GB if I m remembering well) and everything was fine.
  In my view upgrade with SATA HDD normal shouldn't be a problem. Do not SATA II because it will not work faster.

  I can't say for sure, but there must be a compatibility problem.

  Let's see if someone else had better luck with the upgrade of the disk on the Satellite A100.

  Have you checked this forum with advanced search option? Maybe you can find some old NET on upgrade the HDD on A100.

• Satellite A100 - 551 (PSAA2E) - new HARD drive freeze computer

  Hello

  Sorry for my bad English, I'm french.

  I have a Satellite A100-551 and original 80 GB SATA HARD disk is dead. It works enough, but there are a lot of mistakes on its surface and the pc go very slow!
  So, I buy another drive.
  This one: [samsung 250 GB | http://www.rueducommerce.fr/Composants/showdetl.cfm?product_id=422226&option=1]

  I have install on the pc but when I start the pc freeze.
  At startup, there is a moment where a normal message saying that I can access the F2 BIOS with a progressbar for loading.

  The freezing of progressbar and nothing else has add.
  If I press F2 nothing adds.
  I can't do nothing.

  Is it possible to get started with my new HARD drive?

  Is there some hard drive not recommended?

  Thanks for your replies.

  Strange, but perhaps the new HARD drive is defective or not compatible with your laptop.
  Have you tested the new HARD drive in a laptop or in an external HARD drive enclosure? It work?

  You can go into the BIOS without HARD drive?
  Check it!

  In your case I would use check the HARD drive in another laptop first, and then maybe you should try another of your laptop HARD drive.

  Good luck!

• Satellite A100-495: strange starting problems & freezes

  Hey guys.

  I recently got my Satellite A100-495 back from repair - it had a power problem (no led was flashing and it does not start of course). They told me that the motherboard has been renewed.

  Now, I have the following two issues:

  (1) it freezes suddenly sometimes in windows after 1-2 hours of operation without problems and I have to hold the power button for a few seconds restart

  (2) I press the power on button, LEDS are underway but the screen remains black, sometimes becomes gray, hard drive makes noise, fans going on but it just does not start, do not show anything. After some tests, I have to start but once again crashes after a couple hours of functioning properly.

  Can someone tell me what is the problem here?

  Bad memory (RAM) can cause this.

  If you can get it to start, test the memory with Memtest on a bootable CD. www.memtest.org

  Otherwise, try the combination of the different memory card. If you have 2 sticks of memory, try with one stick, then try the other stick, try different locations.
  Often the memory pins can oxidize and cause problems. To clean the pins, use a pencil eraser/rubber and rub the pins of module memory.
  Be careful when you handle the memory, you can zap easily memory with static electricity. To make sure that you are connected to the earth when the memory handling.

  Hello

  I think that in this case you must go to an authorized service provider. If the laptop freeze during the BIOS update module ROM needs to be reflashed.

  On the Toshiba site, you can search nearest ASP and download all the drivers. Check this box:

• 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:

  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

  sounds are really serious. Unfortunately, I can just give you the only clue you will get with each user here in the forum:

  Find the nearest authorized service partner (you can find one by using this link: http://209.167.114.38/support/Download/ln_byModel.asp)
  and bring your machine. In addition, you must explain the guys what happened so they can do something for you.

• Satellite A100-049 stops loading at the Windows loading screen

  Unless I opened fully open/almost completely the cover on my Toshiba Satellite A100-049 it will always freeze on screen Toshiba Logo black (first one you see). She has completed half of the blue progress bar that runs along the bottom of the screen. I need and then turn off the button and once again, it becomes work.

  The laptop is only 2 weeks old nine. It's especially annoying since it prevents a scheduled backup to wake the portable computer from Hibernation. I have to leave it on or leave the lid open permanently.

  Help?

  It seems that the title has been changed from the one I posted, nothing wrong with that, but it is no longer accurate. It keeps loading the Windows loading screen, it freezes "before" that date. The Toshiba Logo POST screen, very first, you see when you turn on the laptop.

• Satellite A100-784 - Intel PRO Wireless 3945ABG off randomly

  Hello

  I have Toshiba Satellite A100-784 with Intel PRO Wireless 3945ABG wireless adapter.
  Today I was working with my friend on some project connected on his wifi sharing internet connection on Toshiba Satellite A100-510.
  After a while I lose the internet connection and I see that this blue icon is no longer in the test system.

  I try to use Toshiba ConfigFree but it was impossible to open, so I try to open the network connection of the control panel and after a period of time the network connection has been accessible and I saw that this network adapter is disabled. I try to activate three times but nothing.

  After rebooting, everything was ok and wireless adapter is turned on and ready to use for the next 10 or 15 minutes.
  First disable comes after two hours. I use Windows XP SP 2.

  The problem is that I have to restart my computer everytime where I lose internet connection (WiFi is turned off automatically).
  Everything is blocked its very hard to access the settings of network or toshiba configfree

  Thank you

  Try this:

  Update the BIOS of the laptop
  Update driver Intel Wireless LAN
  Use static IP addresses, instead of dynamic (DHCP)
  Temporarily disable your firewall software
  Update the Firmware on your Access Point
