Satellite A200 hangs or restarts at any time

Hello

I am facing problem with my Toshiba Satellite A200 since last week. The problem, I noticed even is mentioned below in steps:

1. start & freezes on the screen at any time or logon
2 restart at any time without any notification as blue screen or any message dumping

Explanation in detail:

As I start my laptop it can freeze or restart at any moment after the Startup logo. This has happened several times, I noticed. If it freezes, after waiting for half an hour, if it does not, restart any movement of the mouse, no appeal of taskmgr, etc. it completely freezes. Then I made him stop forcing for example, by pressing the power button / stop for a long time.

* Things to note here: this happens when the power adapter is connected *.

Same thing repeated here with AC not plugged (on battery), the system works absolutely perfect until that hard battery backup with permitted load on the processor and any diet Plan. Tested also on AC only (battery does not exist) but same results, no resolution.

As soon as AC is plugged the laptop is ready to freeze or reboot anytime * and the time varies between instant to max 45 minutes I noticed several times.

Second thing to note is that if I boot in SafeMode it works absolutely fine with & without plugged AC.

* Measures taken to resolve: *.

* High temperature set: *.
I also cleaned the heatsink fan heat + metal bands filter in front of the FAN to avoid high temperatures, but same results, no resolution.

* OS Installation costs: *.
I installed a clean copy of the OS, but no effect not found, same results, no resolution

* AC adapter power supply check & replacement: *.
I checked the output of the AC adapter / CC it 19.7V DC no load. I borrowed a new AC adapter with my cousin with the same model, but the same results, no resolution.

* AC adapter Socket change: *.
To avoid the bad food, but the same results, no resolution.

* BIOS: *.
Settings to change the frequency of the dynamics processor to still weak & 2nd Core Disabled, same results, no resolution.

After searching a solution on various sites, I tried several ways but without success.

Finally worked for me is to start in "SafeMode-> Device Manager-> disabled both processors ' & restarted in normal mode, everything works fine.

* Question: *.
1 but what is the real fault I want to know who?
2. How safe to operate with disabled processors?
3. What is the effect of it on the laptop?
4. it's the real solution?

Please give me the real solution.

Thank you
Hemant

Hi mate

The sounds of history for me really weird I mean disabling processors in Device Manager
Is this laptop must not freeze and must restart not anytime if that's the case then something must be wrong with the software or hardware.
Because you installed the OS and the problem is still available, I guess something must be wrong with the material; Perhaps the mother or the CPU itself

It is difficult to say what could be wrong, but it seems like material is affected

  • Satellite A200 - AH6 PSAE0C: update BIOS - Date & Time Reset problem

    Then I updated my laptop Satellite A200 - AH6 PSAE0C (Bios and graphic update) after installation of Toshiba Power Saver, but from time to time now, if I do a restart, there is a black screen on reboot with some info about my BIOS and some things put in guard/failure.

    Also, when she comes back, once again, every so often, my time is reset to December 2004, 12: 00

    Any suggestions?

    Hmm... This strange s... maybe you should try to update the BIOS again. I'm not sure if this is possible if the BIOS has been already updated to the latest version but it worth a try.
    In addition, you should access the BIOS and it set to the default settings and need to save settings.

    See you soon

  • Satellite A200 hangs only with AC adapter

    Hello

    My toshiba satellite A200 I have owned for about 3 years has had a problem for a while or when I plug the power adapter into the laptop fails.
    I bought a new power adapter, I have re-installed windows several times and a few other things all to nothing does not.
    Her dosent computer seem to be blocked in safe mode for a reason even if I'm sure that it's a hardware problem.
    Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    Hello

    Since the new OS installation didn't help, I think that could be a problem with a motherboard.
    The point why the OS goes not down running in safe mode is simply;
    Safe mode is a diagnostic of a computer OS mode. A few basic drivers would be responsible and safe mode will have managed to reduce the functionality and many non-core components are disabled.

    According to me, the laptop computer mother should be checked and if necessary should be replaced.

  • Satellite A200 - I can't see battery time remaining single percentage

    Hello

    I had a Satellite A200 on Vista and XP, and I'm NOT able to see the remaining estimated battery time. I see only the percentage left.

    For example, I use my laptop unplugged for over an hour (my comments) and I can only see the percentage left (45%), but I can't see the time remaining.

    I have a problem with Vista or XP.

    Is - this natural? What can I do to see the time remaining?

    Sorry, but I would like to know why you think that this is a problem. Where you found information that it must be demonstrated to remaining battery time?

    Hello

    I have laptop Toshiba Satellite A300-29N, recently, I noticed that my laptop auto-redémarre after 5 minutes, I thought that this could be a problem of charger so I replaced it, and nothing has changed, so I thought that maybe the power so I plugged the power regulator and no change, finally I opened to check for problems of heating and changed the CPU cooler and nothing has changed as well.

    This occurs if the operating system is Windows or Linux, so is hardware not software problems, recently, time went from 5 minutes to 30 seconds, directly after the OS loads, I don't really know what's wrong with it, I tried everything I suspected it might be the problem, anyone have any idea why what is happening?.

    It is not easy to say why this is happening. Can you please do a little test?
    Start your laptop and enter the BIOS settings. Leave it for a while and let us know if the same thing happens again.

  • Satellite A40-231 sometimes restarts without any obvious reason

    I am owner of a satellite A40-231... my problem is that the computer mobile restars sometimes at will without any obvious reason.
    can someone help me please

    thnx

    Hello

    A restart (or reboot) as you describe usually follows a condition of serious error on your laptop that causes Windows reboot. Generally though, you'll get some sort of error message (blue screen) just before the reboot. You can prevent this automatic restart simply by disabling it in system properties options. Just right click on my computer-> properties-> Advanced-> Startup Recovery & -> settings and uncheck the Automatic Restart.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite A200 BSOD would be the first time that I ever ran Win Update

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite Pro A200 running professional Vista that I bought on October 11, 2007. Win Update never ran the first time, had the laptop then BSOD. I recovered using the recovery CD, and since then, I've left Win Update turned off.

    Someone else with a similar machine did this happen to them?

    Does anyone know what causes this?

    What would be the Toshiba Support policy on this?

    Thank you all.

    What is the hex code of BSOD? (The number of 0x000000xx)

    I am looking this BSOD number to www.microsoft.com for a solution.

    Also update the BIOS of the laptop. An update of the BIOS can perform magic sometimes :)

  • Satellite A300D restarts all the time

    Hello

    My Toshiba Satellite A300D 14 p restarts all the time and I can't do anything!
    I turned it off last night and today, when I pressed the power button it worked for 1-2 seconds and then again did a restart.

    My screen doesn't show anything (because it only works for 1-2 seconds).

    Any ideas?

    And last night, everything was OK?
    Have you installed anything it either on it or maybe update the BIOS?

    Unplug the AC adapter / CC, remove the battery and leave it for a while. Later, connect the power adapter only and try to turn on your laptop.
    The same thing happens again?

  • Satellite A200 - restart Constant preventing re-installation of operating system

    OK so I was using my laptop (Satellite A200) and it restarted at random, so it kept rebooting at startup upward.
    So I decided to use a recovery disc.
    He won't through recovery disks without rebooting, so I don't even have a full operating system.
    If I open it in the BIOS, it does not restart, it will remain just work inside.

    What is the problem, software, hardware, and how much will it cost to get fixed because I don't think that there is something left I can do more.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    This whole story seems somewhat strange. I really don't understand what is wrong with that, but please try to follow:
    -Turn on your laptop and press F12 repeatedly to enter the boot options
    -Where the list of boot devices is provided recovery media in the optical disc drive
    -In the list choose the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER
    -Follow the on-screen menu

    Can you do this?
    It works well?
    There is a new problem?

  • Satellite A200 - crashes all the time

    I have a 3 years Satellite A200, great machine until about 3 months ago, when he started crashing randomly. The first time, I'm sure it froze just where it was, but after that the screen would just be black. It happened more often and a lot to restart. Now, even with the recovery disk in it will take 5-6 attempts to restart before it will go even to the start screen. The machine is practically useless now, but when his work a few minutes everything is perfect.

    I read on another site that other people have experienced similar problems and that it can be connected with the fan.

    Anyone has any advice on how to fix this?

    Hi elight47,

    Theoretically it could be connected with the fan because dust could block the fan and therefore, it would be necessary to clean the laptop using a jet of compressed air. This could blow out the dust from the cooling fans. You can get this jet of compressed air from each computer store I think.

    Also, here's an interesting article from Toshiba:

  • All of a sudden Satellite A200 will restart

    Hi all, I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A200 and I have questions with her re-starting all the time.
    I have re-installed windows 7 and each time I do any work, all of a sudden the laptop will restart.

    The problem would be a bad battery?

    It is not easy to say whether this issue has something to do with the battery.
    This happens on the battery only, or supply even when the adapter is connected to your laptop?

    What did you do in the past?
    Did you install additional software or updates?

    If you want to stop this, you can start Notepad in safe mode and use system restore to roll back to earlier time. I hope this will help.

    Later, you can do what to make the decision.

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/143447-audio-device-enable-hidden-devices.html

    Connect one microphone, music player or other audio device to your computer (you want to be sure
    the mic input is enabled)

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pilots may also need to be updated:

    Control Panel - device - SOUNDS - look for HD Audio Manager - Mine said RealTek high definition
    Audio (this is an example and you can have an other name/maker).

    Make sure you write down the description and model double click top - tab drivers - write version. Now
    Click on update drivers who cannot do anything like MS is far behind the certification of drivers. Then RIGHT
    CLICK above and UNINSTALL - REBOOT - this will rebuild the driver stack.

    If your driver shows 06 you have the default windows and part of the question.

    Go to the system manufacturer's website and get the latest Audio/Sound drivers - download - SAVE - go to the place where you
    Put them - right click on Reboot - RUN AS ADMIN -.

    Check the Version tab of the driver in the Device Manager as the restoration of the sound card drivers often
    and then install the latest version. Restart and check after each test, not
    rare to have to run the pilot of 1 to 4 times or more. Just the version make sure you
    installed shows upward on the tab of the driver.

    Then navigate to the site of the manufacturer of the device and search for the drivers more recent and repeat the installation procedure.

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

    then on lower right properties. Make sure that the appropriate injector is selected and check
    other parameters - levels tab make sure that MUTE is disabled and APPLY / OK to change

    Also in the search for some Audio Manager Panel (perhaps named after the manufacturer of the sound driver). Mine
