Satellite A200 - stop randomly

Hello

My laptop Toshiba Satellite A200 will stop randomly. First I thought, that the CPU is overheating, but its temperature is 50 degrees (Celsius), and it is good (I also change the fan). But my ATI radeon HD2600 graphics card has 50 degrees too and that's a too high temperature for nothing to do.

Where could be the problem? What is the temperature of my gpu of closing?

Thank you

Sometimes when I turn on my computer, the temperature of the GPU is only 30 degrees
I have a dualboot XP and Windows 7. When I turn on XP, the computer shuts down when booting, when I turn on Windows 7, it's not stop immediately

Hey,.

> First I thought, that the CPU is overheating, but his temperature is 50 degrees (Celsius)
How to measure the temperature?
As much as I know there is no formal program of Toshiba to check the temperature, and the 3rd party tools can show wrong temperatures.

> But my ATI radeon HD2600 graphics card has 50 degrees too and that's a too high temperature for nothing to do.
Who said that 50 ° C is too high for the GPU? In my opinion it s normal and ok, it won't be a problem.

In your case, I would follow the instructsions here:
[How to clean a Toshiba laptop cooling system? | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=40]

Theoretically it could also be possible that the thermal grease is too old and should be replaced. This can be done from an authorized service provider.

  • Satellite A200 stops randomly - I may have a solution

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba satellite A200-1sj, but the laptop have problems and it shuts it self randomly.
    I changed the thermal paste from the GPU and CPU, and this is unrelated to the heat because it sometimes could turn off even after the first start when it is cold. I started the case from the jury, just naked naked with the cooling pipes on it and it would stop once again, without its hard, wifi or modem adapter so it is not related to them. I also tested with another charger to power supply an A200 - 23 k friends and she always stops if it is not in this topic or the other.

    BUT! The big but is what I discovered and I think toshiba is to blame! This problem is related to the voltage regulator way and it does not work properly because some add reason. I also found a sort of solution last night after a bios save and exit the fan stuck at 100% and the machine have not stopped since then and it looks like when the fan is regulated and it rises and lowers the tensions while the problem appears.

    The saddest is that I left the low-profile bios cpu, so it runs at only 1 GHz and I fear of change in the bios because I can lose the fan of 100% and the machine will get unstable yet! :(.

    Current BIOS I have is 2.60 and I think try 5.30 if the machine starts to close again, but I think that it would not go because the fan is going to regulate again. (.

    Y at - it someone from Toshiba which can create a bios with a constant voltage to the fan, so not vertically, there is time which could be less painful for the regulator I guess and can bring stability to the decent sound.

    I am open to any suggestion,

    Best regards

    Thanks for your interesting Agile ad.
    Problem is that this forum is a user forum and if you want to discuss this with Toshiba, you must contact the nearest authorized service provider.

    They have maintenance manuals, all the necessary technical data and also sufficient experience with that, so I think that Toshiba technicians are right people to discuss the issue described.

  • Satellite A200-1FL randomly turns off

    Hello

    I have the problem that after I moved from the Spain to the Thailand now my Toshiba Satellite A200-1FL randomly turns off.
    This only seems to happen when it is connected with AC - with battery I have it is not happened again although I can't rule out it.

    After some time of work (sometimes only 10 minutes, sometimes up to 2 hours) the laptop just shuts off-as if I would unplug the unit without the battery inserted. It is certainly not an overheating problem because the CPU is at 55º c most of the time (a year before the cpu fan was dirty and he has sometimes increased to 90º - but which caused no stops).

    I don't know about electricity here in Thailand - but it seems 220V and they do not use the Earth (at least at the point where I am).
    I use the original Toshiba AC adapter.

    What could be the problem here - is there any solution or the solution to this problem?

    Thanks for any help,
    vitaminx

    Hey,.

    As stone I n not know electricity of the Spain and Thailand, but if you have only this problem with the AC adapter / CC, there are a few differences between the Spain and the Thailand.

    In your case, I will ask the local authorized maintainer in Thailand. For example just give them a call and ask a technician for help. I'm pretty sure, they can give you an answer if you need a new power supply or another outlet.

    Good luck! :)

  • Satellite A200 - stop the CPU cooling fan

    Hello

    I got a Satellite A200-1CK and stop my CPU cooling fan. Not that my CPU is not getting enough cooling. But when I use my laptop to school for use for OS virtualization, it heats up, and the cooler will not turn.

    The CPU cooler is broken or is it just a setting in the bios?

    Greetz,
    Dion

    Hello

    You must understand that nobody does you any kind of diagnostic accuracy and if you want to have the correct answer, your laptop must be checked by a technician.

    Please check the BIOS settings, but on my A200 I can t see anything that can help.

  • Satellite A200 stops automatically

    My Satellite A200 is less than 10 months old, but he started just suddenly stop without warning.
    When I try to turn it on again it often does not reach the screen of Vista before turning off again.
    Interestingly, when I remove the charger cable, it seems to be able to start and to survive at least for a longer duration.

    Any ideas please?

    Hello

    I think that the laptop automatically stops due to a higher internal temperature.
    The point is that these books supports protection against overheating and if the temperature increases to a critical level, the laptop stops automatically to prevent material damage.

    In most cases air can circulate properly due to clogged cooling grids and therefore the temperature rises to a higher level.
    In my opinion the cooling fans should be cleaned.

    Compressed air jet is a professional tool that could help you get rid of the dust and debris.

  • Satellite A205 - stops randomly

    My laptop has had random stops without warning. It stops just completely out of nowhere. I noticed that my system hangs as well lately, but I don't know if it is part of the same problem. For example, Firefox would work fine, but when I click on anything either on the taskbar, the taskbar crashes. Meanwhile, Firefox continues at a normal speed. This only happens randomly. I tried the antivirus, spyware scans, disk defragmentation, and CCleaner scans (may be others I'm not remember). I tried to run without the battery to see if that might be the problem, but after 20 minutes of use it stops again. I got it running for three days with no stops, but other days, it stops every 15 minutes. I tried to leave off the computer for the night to be sure that it wasn't just an overheating of long use, but still it happened. He felt hot, and everything seems clean on the inside. I am running:

    Windows Vista Edition Home Premium
    Service Pack 1
    Intel Core 2 CPU T5300, 1.73 GHz
    Memory: 1.00 GB
    System type: 32-bit operating system

    I don't know what information could be compared to the problem, but if there is anything I can give to help find a solution, let me know!

    Any ideas on what could be the problem? What can I do to fix this? For awhile I was shrugging it off, but since it happened in the middle of tests for classes online I decided that something must be done.

    Thank you for the support,

    Doug

    Hello!

    I agree with Akuma. To me it looks like overheating issue too because normally the laptop stops due to a higher internal temperature. This protects the material. Otherwise, the material will be damaged.

    To clean the laptop, you can use compressed air jet. This could blow the dust from the cooling fans and therefore you should not disassemble the laptop.
    Compressed air spray is very cheap and you can get it from every computer store.

    Also if you have installed a non-Toshiba display driver, you must remove it. These drivers don't have protection against overheating and not designed for the mobile graphic display cards.
    Then please download and install the Toshiba page display driver.

    Good bye

  • Satellite A200 stops after the post

    Hello.

    I replaced the motherboard that was dead with a used one on ebay, the user declares that it functioned very well.

    Anyway after that I set up everything, it starts for a few seconds and then stops.
    Then I tried connecting the Council, except in the case of the laptop and it's the shutsdown, after awhile, except in certain positions, or if I press somewhere, then he has not stopped.

    I have reviewed everything carefully and I don't see any evidence of anything whatsoever that could short the motherboard...
    I took a few pictures for you to see how I managed to do work for a long time:

    http://I54.Tinypic.com/ojnix5.jpg
    http://i51.Tinypic.com/2upekw8.jpg

    He got up on the upper right. If I normally put it will not work.
    The strangest thing is that if I go into the BIOS by pressing F2, he used stop! forever there remains, after the POST, that is the case...

    But if meet the thing and tighten all bolts, even its worse, shutsdown in 1 or 2 seconds and doesn't show any video...

    What do you think is?

    Hello

    I think that it of almost impossible to say what could be bad exactly.
    If the MESSAGE cannot be passed correctly, it means that something is broken on the motherboard.
    Have you checked RAM?

    Faulty or incompatible RAM can cause this problem but it s just a suggestion

    PS: what about CPU? Is it compatible with the new card mother and chipset?

  • Satellite A200 - Mat * randomly a UJ-850 s does not read certain DVD or CD

    Hello

    I have problems with my dvd player Mat * a UJ - 850 s (firmware 1.40)

    Randomly, he's not reading certain dvd or cd.

    I called Toshiba support and they asked me to update the firmware.

    I explained that there are 3 updates of firmware for a player of TSS (NEC) DVD from Toshiba Web site but * NOTHING * for MAST * A

    They asked me to install the Toshiba disc reboot before sending to repair. Today I had time to fix it, but it does not read the startup disk!

    So I ask for Toshiba to publish an update of firmware for Mat * a UJ - 850 s

    What you mean under some CD or DVD?

    It is well known that something like this can happen. Because of this if you write here on self made CD/DVD, use empty brackets just high quality.

  • Satellite A200 - touchpad random movement when it is connected to the power supply

    Hello
    When connected to power and press the pointer jumps on erratic (only by pressing the key) even if I hold my finger again.

    BUT if I keep in touch with what it is connected to computer laptop 'ground' such as the VGA connector then everything works correctly.

    Also if the laptop is sitting on my lap this also fixes the problem (I have experimented by placing it on a wet towel to simulate the protective effect of my body and it had the same effect, i.e. no pointer to nervousness).

    Finally when executing a stack, there is no problem.

    I tried implementing level and retirement of pilots and all sorts of permutations in the settings so I don't know it's a material thing. Disassemble the system to look at the connections of touch pad but nothing stood out.

    Does this problem familiar to someone or do you have ideas what tests I could do to identify the problem more away?

    Thank you

  • Built in web cam stopped working - Satellite A200

    The webcam integrated on my Satellite A200 stopped working yesterday and I don t know why. I have not recently installed new software, but it is not recognized when I use Skype or any other program. When you try to use the camera, an error says no camera is recognized or it's off.

    I uninstalled the driver and reinstalled several times but it didn't help.
    Please, does anyone have any ideas? (Vista OS).

    Hello

    Sorry, but it is not easy to say what the problem is here. I recommend you to roll back OS to an earlier time using System Restore tool. I'm sure that you'll be able to reuse cam.

    I cam on P200 and use it with Skype without any problem. I really hopr you will be able to solve this problem.

    Good luck!

  • 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.

    Zedski

    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.

    may be the most possible reason is overheating. Have you ever done cleaning with the jet of compressed air?

  • 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.

  • My Satellite A200 - 1 M 7 turns off randomly

    Hello

    I have a following problem with my laptop Toshiba Satellite A200 - 1 m 7 2 years: my warranty just expired and my laptop started to fade at random with a frequency about once a week. Sometimes 3 times in a row and sometimes just once.

    I have no problem with turning again and then it works properly. This closure is independent on working time, sometimes, it happens just after the start as well as after a few hours of work. It happens on windows and Linux system, using my battery or not. I don't think it's overheating, as the last time it was cleaned and it doesn t go hot.
    I use all advanced programs and any upgrade of the system.

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

    Hello

    If you n t think that it is an overheating problem?
    Well what could she be then? Motherboard problem? RAM problem?

    RAM can very easily check.
    Download the RAM (google for some free tools) free diagnostic utility and run tests.

    What about BIOS? You have the latest version? If this is not the case, the update!

    But I would not exclude the overheating problem
    I mean the laptop automatically stops because it s a particular physical protection.
    There are sensors that monitor the temperature level and if the CPU or other parties would be too hot, the unit will stop automatically to prevent the equipment from damage.

    Maybe your thermal grease which is placed between the CPU and the module dry cooling?  :| This may happen after a long period of use
    In this case the thermal grease should be renewed by a technician

    Ask an ASP in your country for replacement.

    A few days ago I started up this message at startup: "TosBtMng has stopped working" I have updated all the BT device drivers in Device Manager, but it did not help. I then installed the battery BlueTooth (v64000T_20090324_x32.exe), and this did not help, either. In fact, the error "TosBtMng has stopped working" message kept coming upward on several occasions, even when I tried to shut it down.

    Could someone help me please?
    I use BT to sync with my mobile phone (Nokia 6120 Classic) via PC Suite from Nokia 7.1.30.8 worm. I was using the computer BT without problem for 18 months now, until last week.
