Satellite A200 freezes / restarts randomly on startup

Hello

I have Toshiba Satellite A200, Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 6.0.6002.
Intel (r) Core (TM) 2 Duo CPU T5450 at 1.66 GHz
Video ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2400 version = 8.380.0.0
Audio version of Realtek High Definition Audio = 6.0.1.5406
Network Marvell Yukon 88E8055 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller version = 10.0.4.3
Intel (r) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection version = 11.5.0.32

For the two weeks... my laptop randomly freezes / restarts... especially when it is started for the first time in the day OR after being in standby / hibernation of State for a few hours.
Sometimes it gets stuck before we get to the login screen... sometimes shortly after... no certain activity seems to be related to this gel. And it's not freezing all the time... sometimes it restarts too. No blue screen.

No new software installed, except regular updates of windows. No conflict in the device driver. I checked the website of toshiba for the latest drivers. BIOS had a newer version... So I installed which (2.5). But the problem has not disappeared.

When the computer reboots, it works fine... I'm not able to find something to worry about in the event viewer. Start logging also came not to the top with a few errors. I also disabled the option restart automatically.

Windows partition was low on space... only 6 GB left of allotted 40 GB... so I thought to backup and install from scratch... do that... all the updates that are installed during the next days... but my laptop is back to the same State. One thing I notice, is that now it takes longer after starting (and then restart) to connect to the wireless router. But this isn't a problem.

Microsoft Fix It didn't help either... am looking for help to identify the cause and resolve it.

Is there a conflict somewhere which surfaces while system is booting high / shortly after startup?

Thank you in advance.

> How we can say is that there is nothing wrong with the equipment? What else can a check?
The new installation of the operating system has not helped. Right?
So for me it looks like hardware related issue.
I think the disk HARD or RAM (memory)

The HARD drive can be easily verified. Download the drive diagnostic tool called HARD: Drive Fitness Test
It s freeware tool and it allows you to scan the HARD drive and get details on possible malfunction.

The diagnosis of RAM can be done easily. Of course, there are tools like memtest86 + and similar, but in my experience the results of the analysis are not always 100% right
So, in that these cases it s always a good idea to test the laptop using new tested s RAM

  • Satellite A200 - 23Q - cfixer window at startup

    Hey guys!
    I hope someone can help me.

    Whenever I turn on my laptop (I have the Satellite A200 - 23Q) when my desktop appears at one point it breaks and I get the "cfixer" window pops up saying that it cannot find the cfixer file, and there is also a date when the file is deleted (it's always today's date, the date when I have my computer on). On the bottom, I have to cancel, try again or restore. When this happened for the first time, I clicked on restore, but it happened again the next time I was starting so I guess it's a virus so since then, I always click Cancel. But it happens for 3 or 4 months now and it annoys me reallly. When I get rid of this window continues startup, load the bar side, bluetooth and other programs.

    Help, please! Is it possible to settle this issue without having to reinstall the operating system?

    Thank you in advance!

    Hello!

    If you reinstall ConfigFree utility that you can t do something wrong, but this .exe file at startup belongs to this tool and so you should try to reinstall.

    Try it and post your result. Relocation of this tool only takes a few minutes and should solve your problem. :)

    Hello

    I think you should test the memory modules.
    The memtest software is OK, but not perfect. You know
    Even though the memtest would not detect any errors, the problem of the ram is possible
    Otherwise, it could be a motherboard problem too.

    I had a problem in the past, my book of 8 years froze only if adapter was attached to only if the html files were executed.
    Finally the mobo was replaced, and this fixed the problem.

    What internal temperature? Maybe it's at a higher temperature?
    Clean the vents with air... stream could help get better air circulation...

  • Satellite A200 - freeze occasionally and fade to the white of the screen

    I have a satellite A200, bought new last year. Sometimes the computer crashes, the screen starts fading to white and darker horizontal and vertical lines appear on the screen. I pressed the power switch until it turns off so I can restart, but after the reboot, it works fine. Initially this has happened only rarely, but it's starting to happen more and more lately.

    It happens very suddenly and it makes no difference, what I'm doing at the time. Sometimes it does just after the market. Does anyone know why he could do that? I'm not very technically savvy, so I would appreciate if you could explain it to me in a way I could understand :)

    I heard of some people having the same problem and can be caused by faulty wiring in the monitor. If this is the problem is it likely to be covered by warrantly?

    Post edited by: Charlie Llama

    You also have this problem on an external monitor? If this isn't the case, it sounds like a problem internal monitor and I think that it should be replaced.

    If your laptop is still under warranty the repair should be free for you. So in your case I would contact the nearest ASP that you can find on the Toshiba site:

  • Satellite A200 (PSAF6A) resets randomly

    Hello

    I have a problem with my Satellite A200 (PSAF6A) randomly resetting itself. It does not matter what job I do, or how long I let the laptop, it will be just black screen on me and reboot. Sometimes he'll do Mid-when the form starts, other times I can use it for a while before he'll do. It seems to be a problem which intensified during some time, occurring initially quite rarely, which is now so frequently that it makes the phone unusable.

    This issue seems to happen mostly when running off the AC power. When you use the battery I have minimal problems, until the battery runs out. Although stability is much higher when you use the battery, I can't confirm that AC is actually the cause of the problem, because it is a random problem and I will sometimes use alternating current for a long time without error.

    I can say that the problem is not caused by overheating or drivers/software/OS. The laptop has been maintained to be free of all dust blocking the radiator as well as for a new application of thermal grease for NB and CPU chips. Everything is running at the level of the standard factory.
    I tried Linux, XP, Vista, Win7 and can tell it seems to be a problem specific to an operating system or driver (he got the problem when no OS has been loaded yet).

    If anyone has had similar problems or knows what could be my problem, your help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello!

    Did you try it with the factory settings? I mean the version preinstalled Windows that you can restore it with the Toshiba recovery disc. This disc contains all of the drivers and tools and with these settings, everything should work fine.

  • New Satellite A200 is restarted after installing XP

    Hi all

    I hope someone can help with this problem.
    I have a new Satellite A200 and made in the wake of the SP2 and matrix storage drivers.
    I completely deleted all partitions on the disk and installed XP (slipstreamed version).
    All going well until the first reboot and then it restarts just over and over again.
    If I have safe mode of choice it loads correctly and I can't install drivers etc.
    I wonder if it is a BIOS issue?
    I tried to update using windows bios update for XP and it will not allow in safe mode.
    The reboot happens before even starting XP screen appears, hard drive blinks twice, then it power cycles.
    I hope that I'm not the first to encounter this problem.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello

    Mhhh very strange to me, it looks like a software problem!
    In Windows XP, the default setting is for the computer to automatically reboot when a fatal error occurs. If this fatal error only occurs when you stop, the system reboots automatically.

    Have you noticed the same course the Vista OS?

    What you could do is to install the Vista from the recovery CD again, and then update the BIOS to the XP version.
    After this procedure install the XP with all the service packs and the compatible Intel matrix Storage Manager

    Hello

    You am I entitled?
    You are able to turn on the laptop and you can see the Toshiba splash screen at the beginning, but you cannot boot from the CD.
    Right?
    Have you tested different CD bootable as drive Linux Live CD or recover from Toshiba?

    Theoretically the question could be just a bad drive but of course the CD/DVD drive could be faulty too if the CD/DVD drive cannot boot from any CD, and then try to clean the lens laser alcohol or cotton tip.

    Hello John

    I'm lucky that something like this does not happen on my A200 but I noticed this odd behavior on my old Satellite M70. From time to time, it beeps and I don't really know why. This looks like a signal of BIOS. Sometimes I hear this a few times in the day and then nothing for days.

    I don't really know why this is happening, but I think I'll try to clean my laptop. Maybe it has something to do with the temperature of the material.

    How many times does the error appear? Were the machine in unusual conditions as too hot environment or has some liquid on it or something?

  • Satellite A200 (PSAE3E) - stops randomly

    Hi all!

    I got an A200 PSAE3E in my possession which stops randomly. He really died the hard way. I have excluded a software problem, because even this wenn waiting for PXE, so no start-up of the drive HARD or another device...

    The only idea I have left is to Flash the BIOS to get it to work again properly as I thought it might have something to do with faulty breaks? Or anything that leaves the BIOS to be originally...
    When he is not the BIOS, then the motherboard itself must be faulty which leaves me only one option: throw this piece :-D

    * Up to now, the real question: how Flash BIOS without using an operating system like Windows? Is it a kind of combination of button I can press start so he can a BIOS file from a USB flash? *

    Help would be very appreciated.

    Hi medis,.

    Without an operating system it s not possible to update the BIOS. All updates of BIOS provided on the official website of Toshiba are windows, depending on whether you need an operating system running up-to-date BIOS.

    To be honest I have don t think that the BIOS is the reason for this

    The laptop is overheating or hardware malfunction s motherboard or the CPU

    If it s just an overheating issue you can solve the problem yourself by cleaning radiator with a jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans.
    If it doesn t help you need professional help of an authorized service provider. Guys have professional tools to make an accurate diagnosis of your laptop, so they can tell you what to do in this case.

  • Satellite A200-1QK stops randomly

    Hello.

    Well, lately, my computer randomly stops after a while. For some reason, I can't activate it for 1 or 2 minutes when what is happening. I wonder, is this a battery problem? Or y at - it something worse than that?

    Thanks in advance.

    I put t think its a battery problem!
    For me, it looks like an overheating problem.

    If the temperature rises to the critical level the laptop stops automatically to avoid overheating of the material!
    You will have to wait until the temperature goes down and after about 5-10 minutes you could restart the laptop.

    I think the laptop overheats because cooling cool don t properly hardware modules. Because of the dust and debris inside the laptop don't twist not fans with maximum performance and this leads to a higher temperature.

    In my opinion, you should try to clean the fans using a jet of compressed air!
    Most computer dealers offer these professional tools.

    Best regards
