• "Satellite A210-171-freezing error event ID - Kernel-WHEA.

  Hello

  In January 2008, I bought this laptop satellite (A210-171) and have during the month or so it started to freeze, and the only solution is a hard re boot, after which it is fine for awhile. I fear that I will lose all my data or it will go wrong at the wrong time and so I would like to get it fixed.

  According to Event Viewer, it's Kernel-WHEA Event ID 2

  Does anyone know any task etc that may fix this problem?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Laptops or the OS can freezes for different reasons.
  The freezing system can be caused by a faulty memory, but this issue could also be related to corrupt software.

  If you, it would be very interesting to know if the system hang after a clean install. ?:|

  I have a Satellite A210. I installed Xp and Vista and I n t notice serious trouble with the laptop.

  In my opinion, you should study a bit.

• Satellite A210 freezes all of a sudden

  Hello!

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A210-1 a 0. This month, he stopped for about 4 times. It just freezes, the image on the screen remains the same, but it does not react to anything (Ctrl + Alt + Delete, and even the power button). The only solution is to remove the battery.
  I tried to clean the registry, but it froze again, after 1 day.

  Anyone has an idea why it is doing this & what do you recommend?

  Also, the last time that this happened the computer was lit for an hour just before he stopped.

  Any help will be appreciated!

  Thank you!

  Hi dude

  Have you tried to recover the laptop and reinstall the new copy of Windows 7?
  Recommend doing this to ensure that this gel are not related to the problem of the system.
  If the best case, it's just a screwed system and the new facility could help solve this annoying problem

  I just installed windows 7 32 bit on a satellite A210-1UP

  Every few minutes the system freezes and then continues as if nothing had happened.
  No error or blue screens are displayed

  I would like to know if windows 7 can work without problems on this system?
  That is the version of the bios recommended to run windows 7?

  Thanks in advance!

  Kind regards

  Hello

  Yes, you can run Windows 7 on the A210.
  I ve got an A210 and installed Win 7 32 bit.
  It runs correctly without big problems.
  I have collected the drivers Windows 7 and install it on the system.

  Some missing Toshiba Software, that I could find in other series of satellites; for example, L500.
  Here I chose ve the VAP and Support utility Flash memory card in order to get the FN and the multimedia to work keys.

  Satellite A210-10 belongs to the PSAEL series.
  As far as I know that this series is supported by some ATi Mobility Radeon X 2400 graphics card.

  Go to the page of European driver of Toshiba and download the compatible ATI graphic driver.
  Right now, I found the version * 8.38* on the page of the Toshiba driver!

• Satellite A210 - 1 4 frequently freezes when starting Windows 7

  Hello

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A210 - 1 4 and updated upgraded to Windows 7 later. I have a problem in which case frequently the OS crashes during startup. This often happens and happens after the text "Starting Windows" appears, but before the windows logo appears. In this case I have to press CTRL + ALT + DELETE to reset the system and bring back to life, Windows 7 starts normally after that.

  I tried to reinstall Windows 7 and it still does not work. I use the 32 bit version if that makes a difference. I installed all the drivers of Toshiba using the [Toshiba Software Installer | http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/downloadDetail.jsp?soid=2475695&pf=true] and the problem still persists.

  Thanks in advance,

  Hello

  Recommends checking the HARD drive first.

  There is a nice tool called Drive Fitness Test which can be downloaded from some 3rd party pages.
  The tool is free and helps you run HARD drive Diagnostics tests.
  If the HARD drive is ok, then the next step should be checking the RAM.

  Tools such as memtest86 + could be used to test the memory.

  But even if there is no error, the RAM could be affected again I recommend that you test the new notebook with Rams

  By the way: check if the BIOS is up to date!

• Satellite A210-1AP is getting really hot

  Hello

  I'm sorry if this is solved somewhere on this forum, but I didn t find...
  I have an overheating problem, my laptop never stops but it s not so hot I can almost burn my hand on him... it's hot so I m play any game in about 10 min.

  I changed to windows Vista, Windows XP Home edition and now Win 7 on each of them same problem occurs... Laptop is cleaned inside 10 days ago and I didn't touch processor--the drivers are on the Toshiba site. Laptop is Satellite A210-1AP (PSAELE).

  I think that my graphics card is overheating but I don't know m... If I put my laptop on the desktop and start any game in 10 minutes it gets very hot and keeps the temperature rise, while the game begins to lag (photo will slow down moments or just freeze for a while) then I take it on my lap and it works fine, once again his warm but can work.

  If any1 have any advice, I would be grateful.
  Thank you

• Satellite A210 - 1 4 - possible signs of a hard drive failure

  Hello

  I use a Toshiba Satellite A210 - 1 4 and think that the hard drive may be showing signs of failure.

  _The symptoms are: _

  * While the Windows 7 boot frequently stops at 'Starting Windows' screen (before the Windows logo appeared) and all HARD drive activity stops meaning a hard reset is necessary to bring him back.

  * When I unplug the power cord on Windows 7, the computer freezes usually with nothing happens and stop any HARD drive activity, once again a hard reset is required to bring back to life.

  What are these early signs of HARD drive failure or is there something else wrong?

  Hey Buddy,

  For me it doesn t look like the HARD drive malfunction if Windows 7 stops when starting or freezes when you unplug the AC adapter

  Have you already tried to reinstall the operating system? It could be the software problem.

  If you still want to check your drive HARD uses a disk HARD Drive Fitness Test as a diagnostic tool. It s freeware so you can find it if you search on Google.

• Satellite A210 - 1 4 crashes when the disconnection of the power supply

  Since installing Windows 7 on my laptop satellite A210 - 1 4, that I noticed that when I disconnect to change plug to the battery the computer freezes and must be hard reset.

  This never happened with Vista, so I think it's something to do with Windows 7.

  It is not a major problem, just a minor niggle I like sometimes to try to use the battery upward so that it works well.

  Is this a known problem or is there some drivers that maybe I need to install?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hi calebb11,

  Have you installed all the drivers for your laptop after installing Windows 7 and you have yellow exclamation marks in Device Manager?

  Are you using the original Toshiba AC/DC adapter and battery or some parts of 3rd party?

  You can also try to update the BIOS. This can be downloaded on the official page of Toshiba.

• Satellite A210-1AP stops working - gel system

  I am the owner of the Satellite A210-1AP.
  Buy laptop in May and since that time I have problems with the system freeze. Is it possible this computer with 2.1 GHz; 2 GB of memory; 512 MB of video memory on Windows Vista Home Premium cannot work with music and Skype on the same time (of course the WiFi is enabled).

  What is the problem? System? Bad drivers? Antivirus (Nod32 Smart Security 3)? Configuration of the week?

  Please if anyone can answer or try to help me?
  I am no newbie with computers.
  It is my first Toshiba but third notebook comps since 95.

  I'm crazy about reboot and freezing.
  If there is no help in thinking to sell it.
  Thanks for any help!

  Nenad

  Hey Buddy

  I understand very well this freezing system is very annoying and crazy.

  I ve got a laptop for 7 years and had a similar problem. The system froze suddenly and only a reboot of the laptop has helped.
  After a long investigation, I discovered that one of my modules of memory was faulty.
  I presume that a temperature high affected of the memory module.
  I replaced the faulty RAM and could solve the problem.

  Oh I forgot to say that I have reinstalled my OS first to ensure that it is not a software problem (OS).

  I think you should make the check even if the problem could be solved by using the recovery CD. The recovery CD will be programmed the phone to the factory settings and normally everything should work without problem.

  If the problem persists, then a hardware problem might be possible

  But no man panic, it seems, your warranty is valid. So contact the ASP in your country and ask for help.
  In my view, the guarantee should cover everything.

  Good luck

• Need Win7 32/64 driver for ATI HD2600 on Satellite A210

  I bought a Toshiba Satellite A210 - 16G, PSAELE, pay a lot for this baby, but the support from toshiba is the worst, no update of drivers do nothing.
  On ati mobile drivers there, but apparently not for Toshiba, Toshiba doesn't want users update their drivers...
  My video is ati hd 2600 pro, 256 MB...
  I couldn't use my card in win7 blue screen error again and again error video memory, etc.

  This is my problem:

  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=50036

  Installed win7 64, but does not install ati drivers (those mobile ATI official site), or others, I tried many things, same mobility modder, no pass, after restart without driver installation.

  We need bios fix for this problem and drivers update, at least for ati chipset, ati video drivers, blueetooth.

  I got this laptop for 2 years, today, there are 4-5 64 biti pilots... is not good for customers who pay a lot for it.
  If I know that Toshiba does not update their drivers, I buyed an Asus or Dell, these thousands of pilots has...

  It's amazing, the Explorer freeze again and again, until I am force to reset because the drivers... Vista is also bad, Toshiba as well support, at least in Romania.
  We need drivers for WINDOWS 7, it's the future. Even Microsoft knows that Vista are zero and their Win7 release.
  I did not understand why when you buy a laptop, you are forced to use their drivers, and after a few months, these drivers updates never... why we are force to use the old drivers?
  For lan, sound, etc., we could use generic drivers (from realtek, etc.) but not for the video, chipset, etc.

  Oh man there is so many things you don't understand and I don t know where to start with explanations. In any case, I'll write a personal opinion on all of this.

  You bought the laptop two years ago and in that time, it was designed to work with newer OS at the moment. Is Windows Vista. I'm sure that it worked well and all the hardware components have been configured correctly. I don t want to discuss the performance of Vista, because it is not s Toshiba product. Toshiba offers equipment and additional software. It's nothing more than that.

  I use Toshiba laptops for 10 years now and in these 10 years, I've worked on several different laptop models. Laptop was Satellite P200. I have had with Vista too, and until last month, I've worked with Vista without any problems. LAN was OK, sound was OK, graphic was OK, WLAN was OK, OK webcam. in two years of use, I installed OS just twice worked all the time with the Toshiba recovery image. So if everything works well and the laptop runs stabile why I updated?

  When I read your ad, you expect that offers Toshiba updates every month or what. Why?
  Why have most recent audio driver if the sound works perfectly? Why have updated driver for chipset if something like this is not necessary? What do you need? More performance? More stability? What exactly?

  What about support? It is always very interesting theme. You know, since Win7 is the market I have visited several other laptop manufacturers support pages and I must say that the situation is not different than on the Toshiba site. To be honest, their pages are sometimes quite confusing without clear structure and the driver information.
  Best example has display driver download. You are right, they offered more pilots display and real versions but often with additional penalty: use at your own risk only. Support isn't it?

  To discuss on the Toshiba support, you must be honest and objective. The older models as your A210 or my old Satellite P200 are supported for Win7 but only 32-bit version. Where is the problem? OK I have old piece of hardware, but Toshiba supports me for more recent operating system. Should not be 64-bit version, but I can still use 32-bit with all the necessary drivers.

  In front of me, I have brand new Satellite P500 with Win7 64 bit and on my right side older Satellite A300 with Win7 32 bit. You know what? Two runs perfectly and there is no much difference in performance of the laptop. Having good knowledge on systems operating and a few good tips you can configure the preinstalled operating system to run like a rocket. ;)

  Install Win7 32 bits on your machine. Install all the necessary drivers and Toshiba stuff specific. Optimize and you will be happy with it. I'm sure on this subject.

  Bye and good luck.

• Satellite A210-19Z (PSAFGE-05P00KGR) - how to upgrade the BIOS?

  Hey guys,.

  I'm happy with my Satellite A210-19Z (PSAFGE-05P00KGR), but I had some problems with the Energiesaving Mode on Windows Vista and Windows 7.
  I read on the internet that a BIOS update would be useful on the download site there is only 1 update of the BIOS and that includes WinPhlash but WinPhlash does not work on Vista or Windows 7.

  Because there is no other update tools on the host and my machine was delivered with the Vista operating system. Because of this, I created a bootable usb key with phlash16.exe and the 'm10a190.rom' I've renamed "bios.wph" on this subject.
  When I start BACK and enter ' phlash16/x', my laptop starts the Application and I see a progressbar crossing. After perhaps a second I see the main menu of Phlash16 but it freezes until I am able to do something (the keyboard doesn't respond when I press a button).

  Do you know what I did wrong, or is it not possible to update my BIOS?

  Thanks for your help and I look forward to receive your reply soon.
  Chris

  Hey Chris,

  I also checked the Web from Toshiba site for BIOS update on a series of Satellite A210 PSAFGE and it shows an update to BIOS version 1.90. This update is based on Windows and it will appear on all versions of Windows (XP, Vista 32 bit and Vista 64-bit). So perhaps you can explain what you mean with it doesn't work under Vista. You get an error message?

  I understand that the update doesn't work on Windows 7 because at the moment are no drivers available for this system in that time so the update should only be done on XP or Vista. I put t understand why try to Flash the BIOS in DOS mode. It's really risky and you can destroy the ROM module in the worst cases.

  I did also update the BIOS on my laptop, I did:
  -Update the BIOS on a Toshiba preinstalled OS
  -J' was logged in as an administrator
  -J' closed all the running background processes and programs, also the antivirus, firewall and internet connection
  -J' extracted all the files to zip archive and start the update has been done successfully.

  I hope I could help you! :)

• Satellite A210 - BIOS does not work after upgrade

  Hello

  I have a satellite A210-17 for a few years now, but I made the mistake to go to the Microsoft Web site
  to make a BIOS setting to day and once I installed upgrading BIOS, that the laptop did not return ever on, black screen.

  I brought a guy in the month city 3 or 4 he is, he said, it could replace a bios chip if necessary
  but did nothing or I would have heard of him now.

  Is it possible that I can get the bios chip and have him install for me?
  I don't have 200 euros to replace the whole motherboard.

  This laptop was brilliant before that.

  Thanks in advance

  Update the BIOS is a very serious procedure, and the use of fake and not compatible BIOS would damage the motherboard.

  To be honest, I don t think that the replacement of the EPROM would help you that of course, the BIOS is stored on EPROM module but in most cases this chip is soldered to the motherboard and the EPROM replacement will not be easy

  To my knowledge the EPROM module could be flashed once more using the crisis disk BIOS and the special procedure. Usually, these updates of the crisis of the BIOS can be done by maintainer authorized Toshiba and that don t require the replacement of the EPROM module.

  I also read in this forum that some guy tried to Flash the EPROM module to clean hands in some cases, it worked, but in different cases such update does not work correctly

  However, I recommend you to use the advanced search option forum and check a few different discussions on crisis disk BIOS / update

  Otherwise I recommend you contact the Toshiba ASP in your country and products BIOS Update of the crisis

• How to remove the password of BIOS on my Satellite A210-17Z?

  Hi friends,
  I left my Toshiba Satellite A210-17Z unused more than 2 months and when I want to use I forgot my BIOS password. I searched everywhere on the net how can I reset it I have not found an answer. All of the given methods does not work.

  Can someone help me to show me how I can solve this problem.
  THX

  Hello Benmem

  BIOS password removal is very important security feature and we can not debate on this subject on a public forum, especially on a support forum created by laptop manufacturer. In the past, we have discussed several times about this.

  In such a situation, you should contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and they can do it for you. All I know is that Toshiba has several different methods for BIOS password removal.

• Satellite A210-12U - no lights come on or anything like that

  I have a Satellite A210-12U who died on me. I wasn't doing anything special, just posting on a bulletin board, one just like this and the power died, almost as a power cut, without warning. It was plugged in at the time. And now it is completely dead, no light doesn't come on or anything like that. Power cord is fine, just like the battery because the two work very well on my L500-11N. I tried out the battery and the power cord, hold the power button for more than 30 seconds and the replacement, but he's still dead. Is there some sort of internal fuse?

  I thought it might be some sort of internal fuse, but have no idea if she has one, it is unlikely, if yes, can I change myself, and where can I find?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hey Buddy,

  I had a similar problem last year and I did the following steps:

  -Disconnect the battery and the AC adapter
  -Wait at least an hour or over night for example
  -Reconnect the two (battery and AC/DC adapter)
  -Try to start the laptop

  If that doesn t work, this seems to be a malfunction of the equipment. Maybe the card mother, AC/DC adapter or something else
  You should ask your local ASP help ;)
