Satellite A200 keeps turning off

Hi people.
I too have a satellite A200. It is about 2 years old and keeps the decommissioning. Sometimes it turns off if physically moved - for example from a tower in a table. Sometimes it connects again once you put it in hibernation/standby mode by quickly pressing the power button. When I try and start it again in another quick, press the power button, nothing happens about half the time. In this situation when the laptop is in mode 'sleep' the only way to switch is again by removing the battery and then start again. Then it comes up with an error message about an improper closing of windows, giving you the possibility of opening in Mode safe. You lose nothing as you work, so it's a real pain.

It disappeared twice for repair, but they can't find the problem so I did a Google search and found this forum. It would be good to know more than all expertise - especially to Toshiba.

If the laptop turns off automatically, then this can be linked to a higher temperature in most cases but not always, this is the reason.
Dust or debris clogged the ventilation openings, which leads to a higher temperature.

In addition, the dry thermal grease which is placed between the CPU and the cooling module can be that the reason for this in such a case, the thermal paste should be renewed

It's certainly a job for a technician for laptop

  • Satellite A200 just turns off

    I have a satellite A200 that keeps turning off...

    first of all, it wouldn't start up, so removed the battery and plugged directly to AC and then it started again.

    Now, he just stops... It seems to be not too hot...

    What are the problems and solutions...

    Computer is 19 months old and it's very frustrating...

    Hello

    In most cases, the blocked cooling modules are the reason for the higher temperature and why the laptop turns off automatically.
    You could clean the vents and cooling fans with a jet of compressed air.
    This would remove the dust inside the laptop.

  • Satellite A200 - screen turns off without reason

    I have a Satellite A200-E530D on Windows Vista Home Premium. For a month, I had something strange happening on my computer, shortly after the start, the screen turns off. without good reason! the only option I have is hard to system boot and everythings... Although a few times after the restart he still went.

    I tried to upgrade to the last poster of drivers (I have an Nvidia Geforce Graphics card 7300 Go with 128 MB of VRAM)

    Another weird thing, Vista SP1 does not install on my machine. tried to uninstall my Anti virus, but that did not help either one.

    Can anyone shed light on my dark screen?

    Hello!

    You have the same problem on an external monitor?
    I m not sure if it s a display problem, mother or software card

    Do you have what display driver installed? You have downloaded the driver from the Web from Toshiba site?

    To answer last post by PauPau of the thread:

    (1) Hi PauPau, 1st of all thank you for your response.
    (2) I think that you only read (or understand) 10 words of my post. I of course said that + I * was * of course, this problem is caused by overheating. +
    (3) maybe you're right, maybe, I don't am not applied tech for laptop, but if you think that someone who can disassemble their own laptop for cleansing the air duct, or change the thermal paste itself or upgrading all laptops parts itself as a tech literate notebook, so I don't know who else is.

    In fact, I am a COMPUTER professional who is very literate with PC and Notebook Hardware/Software troubleshooting. I did that for about 10 years since high school. So yes, I know that not only all of the brand, but most of the computers (PC & Notebook) will react this way to overheat. The problem is, I already look at the temperature of my CPU, and I know that the correct behavior is a system automatically extinguish itself to avoid damage caused by each time will overheat the scope of heat one * certain * level, which, in a system of this level is still manageable. But in this case, it happens randomly.

    I repeat once again, it happens * RANDOMLY *. Sorry to be a bit much, I want to just make sure I'm clear. I'm sure we all will really appreciate a solution or at least of any attempt to examine more in detail on this issue.

    Thanks for the comments. He appreciated s.

    It s not necessary to disassemble what whether to clean the fans and cooling grids, a jet of compressed air can be used.
    These aerosols can be bought from the other computer dealers.

    But of course, this procedure can be used only to remove dust and debris.
    If the laptop overheats, for different reasons, then a certified maintainer Toshiba should be contacted.

    Is that not a laptop overheating.
    If this problem still persists after removing dust, then it should consider if this is not a hardware problem. Right?
    Well, in such cases, it is always difficult to say what could be the problem until the pieces of equipment have been verified. Right?
    So I t see any other solution as to contact a technician and asking for an audit of the material.

  • Satellite A200 will turn off by itself continuously

    Hello

    I have a problem with my laptop because it stops itself constantly, having used internet for 30 minutes, or immediately after launching a major program like photoshop or autocad or a game.

    I spotted that it also runs very hot fast in a few minutes could be related? What could be the problem?

    Hi mate.

    Quest - what? I think I know what could cause this problem.
    I think that it s associated with high temperature. The CPU and the GPU create a lot of heat while running a powerful software (app chart, games, etc.).
    Eventually, the cooling modules can cool the CPU because of dust.

    Remove dust from the cooling fans and the grids using a jet of compressed air.
    This tool is very useful and can be bought from different merchants online.

  • Satellite 2430-S255 turns off during playback of video clips

    My laptop Toshiba Satellite 2430-s255 turns off 5 minutes every time I play streaming video clips to web sites using Windows Media Player version 10.0. I have uninstall the version 10 and used version 9, but there is no difference. Computer has 512 meg of memory and 10 GB of additional space on the hard drive.

    There is no problem when I play DVD using the same software.

    Toshiba support has been telling me that cpu is working hard and it heats up because of this problem. I used the fan to circulate the air, but the computer still shuts off.

    Can help.

    Christiane

    HI Fanny,.

    Any graphic activity will tend to make your laptop run more hot and therefore sufficient cooling.

    Make sure that your airway through the CPU radiator is not clogged with dust and debris (a lot of discussions in this forum about this) and also ensure that there is sufficient air under your laptop knife get in the fan air vents.

  • Satellite A60-122 turns off immediately

    Hi there, my 2.5 year satellite SA60-122 turns off no aparent reason.
    Sometimes after 10 minutes and sometimes after 3 hours.

    Why o why?

    Does anyone have an idea?

    Thnx a lot.

    Hello

    you are somewhat familiar with computers? If not, I suggest you bring your machine to a local service partner (http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_gaspLocator.jsp?subs=tais)
    If Yes, then firstly make a few hardwaretests. You can make them with tools like "Memtest86" for memory or "Prime95" for CPU and RAM.
    This software is on a windows live cd for computer-maintenance as the UBCD4Win (Ultimate Boot CD for Windows) which contains a lot of useful tools and diagnostic programs.
    Here´s a link:
    www.UBCD4Win.com

    Other means can be:
    Clean the CPU fan, try to remove the RAM (maybe), maybe the power adapter is defective or maybe the battery.
    It s a little more difficult to find these things, but often it s really good to use this live-cd-system and check the system.

    So, try it (or not :)) and give some information about what happened, maybe to give more detailed information about the behavior of the machine.)

  • Satellite P10 randomly turns off

    Hello

    I had my laptop since new for about 1 and a half years now, and only about 2 months, my laptop keeps turning off itself without warning or anything? I really doubt that it's a virus I have norton and also have ad-aware program running all the time.
    I think it may be the laptop overheating? or the material is damaged?

    Can someone tell me what I must do to overcome the problem please?

    Thanks Dan

    Hi Daniel,.

    Random power thresholds are always a sign of overheating. All other problems occur a controlled stop or restart.

    It is likely that your laptop is an accumulation of dust and fluff partially block the heatsink from the CPU. You can try to remove it with an inner pipe of the vacumm cleaner pointed at the gates of suction air under your laptop. Do not try to remove it through the rear exit gates because that will make the problem worse.

    If this does not work, then you will need to remove the radiator to clean, but I hope this won't be necessary.

    Kind regards

  • My Satellite L555-L11 turns off suddenly very

    Hello
    My satellite L555 L11 turns off very suddenly. It seems that it s because of the heat, as when it arrives, I put my hand under the laptop and feel a too high temperature.
    my laptop is 5 years
    What should I do?
    thx for you answer

    I think your laptop is quite full of dust and I can imagine that cooling rack is blocked so that your laptop is unable to catch his breath.

    Believe me, that cleaning can help. Best thing you can do is professional cleaning. In this case the laptop must be disassembled. Otherwise, you can buy compressed air and try to clean it.

  • Why security essientials keep turn off windows Defender. ?

    Why essential security keep turn off windows Defender?

    Hello

    Windows Defender features are included in MSE, defender of loading would be redundant.

    Windows Defender antispyware =

    MSE is antivirus + antispyware.

    Then think about MSE as Windows Defender with more added (which is).

    ===========================================

    Here's what I use and recommend:

    Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with everything I threw at them.
    Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven very reliable and compatible.

    Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except away from Standard, Web and network is working.

    Prevx - Home - free

    Windows Firewall

    Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

    Protected IE - mode

    IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

    I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
    (Sometimes you have to temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom right of IE)

    Avast - stop home - free - all shields you do no need except leave Standard, Web and network running.
    (Double-click the blue icon - details look OK. - upper left Shields - those that you do not cancel).
    http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html

    Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

    Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

    Prevx - Home - small, fast, exceptional CLOUD free protection, working with other security programs. It comes
    a scan only, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something to come back here or use Google to see how to remove.
    http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
    http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp  <-->

    PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
    http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever suspect malware, and that would be unusual with
    Avast and Prevx running except a low occasional (not much), updated cookie and then run it as
    a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

    I hope this helps.

  • Wireless connection keeps turning off when Asus A54C off

    Hi, I just bought a 2nd hand laptop. I can't work on why the wireless capability will not stay connected all the time. Whenever I put it to sleep, restart, or stop it disconnects and I must manually reconnect the wireless every time I shoot under.

    I adjusted all the settings of power, more I went to the Manager of devices and networks and unchecked the box where it says something about shut down to save power.

    Troubleshooting indicates that the wireless feature is not enabled when I fix it manually each time

    Any suggestions?

    Uninstalling the Wireless Console 3 software does the trick.

    Hello

    Maybe you tap the mouse or another thing, and if the LCD display is activated again. What do you think?

    Alternative, I would try to reinstall Toshiba Power Saver. On the Toshiba site you can download.
    Also, make sure that this power profile is activated when you have chosen the option of turning off the LCD.

  • Satellite A60 is turned off by itself

    Hi all
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A60, and she herself is turned off. I had this problem 2 years ago and had to change the hard drive with the disk driver, but was covered by my warranty. It has been resolved for 7 months, but back. Now the same problem is more frequent, especially in the last days.
    Another thing, whenever I move it to another room (you have to walk on the stairs, so maybe something is moving, or as the other room is usually really hot), I have this problem more frequently.

    I don't know that it's an overheating problem! Sometimes it's really hot.

    I opened it to check if the fans (there are 2 large and the other small) are working well and they seem to be.
    When we keep the keyboard not attached, it works perfectly for hours, however, as soon as I attach, it get overheated and shut down.

    I'm running out of ideas and to consider difficulty will cost you a huge amount of money, and to be honest, I'm not sure that it be resolved.

    In cars, there is a kind of thermometer, which could be the temperature. I was wondering it's the same in the laptop, if it is also in cars, according to the room temperature, and if it is what creates this problem.

    Everything has any suspicion what should I do?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Since the opening of you´ve I guess that you didn t took a glance to the fat of cooling on the CPU. In your case, I would do the following:

    Looking for someone who is very familiar with laptops or laptop technician. Ask him to replace the fat of cooling on your CPU and graphics card.
    The problem should be solved by replacing this cooling fats and clean the fans of dust and debris.

    The machine should be run after all the action without any problem.
