• Satellite A30 shuts down / blocks

  Hello
  I have a Toshiba Satellite A30 for about 2 years with no problems. Until today...

  I was chatting on MSN Messenger, but had to put my missing status and left the computer for about an hour.

  When I came back to it, the screen was all what it was when I left, but there was no control of the mouse, no whirring HARD drive away, not nothing. In fact, it seemed that he had closed the partitally without turning off the screen.

  The only way I could reboot had to turn off the power. I disconnected the battery, reconnected everything and tried to reload. I don't even have as much as Logo of Toshiba screen, click on the HARD drive, * which is normal for this machine * and off.

  I thought that maybe it was an overheating issue, then I left for half an hour and go home. This time it restarts, but the display was all out of sync. was on 800 x 600 when its usually on the following resolution. (Don't remember who he is). I ran dxdiag and he told me that there is no present display driver, as I had reloaded using the last well known record. It was not a problem, I reinstalled drivers, restarted without any problem.

  Everything was fine for 2 h with the laptop, so at this point, I don't think it was a heat issue. I went through the net, when hung just computer still once, I lost all control of the mouse, even if the optical lights on it were always activate when moved, and he seemed to stop again.

  Well, I left for 10 minutes, he came back and tried again, it started ok, but as soon as I tried to access anything, he hung up again, forcing me to press the power button to shut down.

  Sorry for the lengthy post, but can anyone shed light on this point, I use my laptop on a daily basis, and there are things about it, as I need to access.

  I hope someone can help

  Thank you

  Hello

  It is very interesting because it can happen to anyone. I really put t know which can block the laptop. On this way, we can only speculate and it is really not easy to say why this happens to concrete.

  I put t know how is your unit configured and that these (process) applications run in the background, but you can try to stop all the unnecessary stuff and see what is happening in this case. Check the Device Manager and make sure that everything is properly recognized. After that create a system restore point and in this way you can restore the system to an earlier time if something goes wrong.

  If you do not find what happens I recommend you back up the data and do the recovery procedure. On this way the unit will be own pre-installed and things like this can happen. As you know sometimes happen oddities and there is no logical explanation.

  Good luck!

• Shut down the system on satellite A30-141

  Hello

  I have a satellite A30-141 and I install XP home, but when copying files, system shuts down...
  I've changed the hard drive and the mem, the same problem...
  Any help?

  Thank you

  Can you please explain this copy procedure specifically? Same thing happens when you play games?

  Satellite A30 is old enough laptop model and it is possible that the laptop is dusty and when copying the material temperature reached the critical level.

  Good bye

• Satellite A30 shuts down suddenly

  Toshiba Satellite A30-504, connected to the power adapter and with fully charged battery, turns off suddenly while I was reading something on the internet. I tried to turn it on, but she did not respond, and I thought that his mother might have broken down. As by chance, I saw the battery light flashes red for a few seconds, I took the battery of the laptop and left just with the AC adapter. It's on!

  When I put the battery, it turn on, but the battery was suddenly + blank +!

  He accused now and everything is working well, the laptop runs without the adapter sector is plugged in, but can someone tell me what is the thing that's happened? The problem is perhaps not in the battery but in something else? I don't think it was overheated because it came on after I took out the battery and I continued to work for hours after the incident... Thank you.

  > He accused now and everything is working well, the laptop runs without the adapter sector is plugged in, but can someone tell me what is the thing that's happened. The problem is perhaps not in the battery but in something else?

  I think that no one will be able to tell why this happened. Maybe there is a problem of short with electronic power supply to the Board of directors who knows I think that only a technician of the laptop could provide a response after the laptop has been verified.

  But the most important is that your laptop works fine now.

• SATELLITE A30: random suddenly shut down

  Hi everyone, I finally had a problem on my laptop. While it is a bit of effort (the CPU works 80-100%) for 2 months it suddenly stop after a few seconds. He has worked for over 2 years and now I do not understand the reason for this strange problem. First of all I don't know if it's a hardware problem or a software one.
  Please give me some advice cause I have yet to find any real solution.

  Thank you very much

  Gianni (Italy)

  If you check this forum you will find a wide range of similar subjects and this problem is not strange. The sudden stop is mainly caused by overheating. Satellite A30 and Satellite 1900 are older units, and in my opinion, it is a time for cleaning.

  Of course, the CPU of high activity cannot be properly cleaned and machine stops automatically before the CPU or other pieces of equipment can be damaged.

• Satellite A30 - shuts down during the installation of recovery or FDISK

  I have a Satellite A30 and I wanted all off it delete and start from scratch.

  Turned back with disc 1 CD product recovery, started well I was prompted to insert disk 2, it does well to about 80% then erased screen, then got the message "invalid partition table". I tried again and same thing happened. Connected FDISK back and chose option 1. 'create a DOS Partition or logic back drive' and the laptop stops. I put the startup option for no network or HARD drive CD player. At startup without inserted discs, I get the following. PXE - E61 madia tset failure, check cable.
  PXE - m0f: exit PXE ROM then freezes.

  Anyone have any ideas?

  I'm not sure at 100%, but from your description, I think that HARD drive get in trouble.
  How pxe message shows that means laptop can not find device bootable and as last it will boot from LAN.

  If possible, try to get a new HARD drive and check if the recovery procedure completes successfully. Old IDE hard drives are not more expensive. To test you can also use a used purposes, but of course has no HDD vice.

  Hello Hakan

  Please check that the machine not too much heat! The symptom you describe is exactly that of a machine overheating. Check if the fan is running continuously before stopping. Also check that there is no dust in the cooling of the machine module.

• Can satellite A30 - I put the RAM?

  Hello!

  If it is possible to replace the Toshiba Satellite A30 2.6 GHz memory, on * DDR400 * instead of * DDR333? *

  Thank you.

  Hi liwil

  If you want to know how fast your FSB is then install a free diagnostic such as Everest home edition tool.
  Here you can check how fast the FSB supports and if it s worth to use faster memory modules.

  Generally, it is possible to use modules faster but as that proposed by Luke the FSB might slow down the speed.

  See you soon

• Can't find an updated BIOS for Satellite A30

  Hi friends.
  I'm not found Toshiba A30-203 a new BIOS update.
  I want to install windows vista but this sccren error.
  Error message:
  "A computer has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

  If this is the first time you2ve seen this Stop error screen restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

  The BIOS in this system is not fully ACPI-compatible. Please contact your system provider for an updated BIOS. »

  to apologize for my bad English.

  Hello

  It seems that the Satellite A30 series is a series that was shipped with the BIOS to no support for Vista.
  I think that it should be possible to install Vista after a update of the BIOS.

  But know that you will ask for the new version of the BIOS. Am I wrong? ;)

  Well, on the page of the Toshiba BIOS, you should find different versions of BIOS.
  It is very important that you check the more info option you will resume the BIOS updated. You will find information on the compatibility of the BIOS (not every version is compatible with all units).

  But as you know that Vista is not official on the market. As I remember, it should be possible to buy the operating system in January 2007.
  I think Toshiba will present a new version of BIOS for Vista in next time. So I hope ;)

• Re: Fan is constantly running on Satellite A30

  Whenever I start my Satellite A30 the fan starts to operate in an audible manner. However, HD is about 32 to 35 ° C, according to speedfan. In addition, from time to time, the fan speeds up and gets really loud.

  In addition, sometimes the laptop just closed without any warning. I shall now put the end of the book a one bar so that air can still pass by the pc, and I feel it helps.

  I would like to stop the fan always running and to reduce its noise.

  My RAM expansion may be the reason?

  To make the A30 run better and be able to install WinXP SP3 I upgraded from 256 MB to 2.0 GB of RAM which is the maximum size of RAM according to the manual. I used the site Web of Kingston to select and buy the CPU, so I guess I bought good extensions.

  If the extension of RAM were the reason for the fan always market that would mean that if the A30 Gets the full load of RAM it's overheating. Right?

  Are there people here on the forum who had the same problem with a noisy laptop after upgrading the RAM?

  TIA

  Satellite A30 is old enough for laptop and, in my view, there may be a big problem cold air and cooling rack is full of dust. Laptop cannot be properly cooled. I opened several old notebooks and it was amazing to see how the dust was inside. I really wonder how the laptop worked

  Laptop last I opened was friends Satellite A100 (not so old as yours) and I've been irritated how fan worked on this laptop. He was so strong and ON / OFF sporadically. After cleaning it computer laptop was extremely calm and fan has worked almost constantly, but at the low level silent.

  The same was on my old satellite 1900. It was full of dust.

  Upgrade RAM or any other reason can be the reason for more power and performance. Performance notebook more runs faster and produce more heat. The critical threshold is reached laptop after suddenly OFF.

• Satellite A30-213 - stops after loading Internet pages

  My satellite A30 213 stops almost everytime, when I enter a website with a lot of uploadings. The machine rotates in about a minute or two and closed its doors. I know that my RAM is only 256 KB. Is that why and in this case, what can I do about it?

  Best regards
  Janne

  Hello

  It is not easy to give a correct answer, but the fact is that 256 MB of RAM for using Windows XP Home edition is really not much. I do not know what A30 you have exactly, but some of them can be upgraded up to 2 GB of RAM.

  RAM modules are not more expensive and I recommend you to upgrade to 1 GB minimum. After this the laptop will have a lot more resources and will go much faster.
