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 M70-193 is shut down without reason

    Hello

    I bought M70 - 193 in September 2006. There is no problem up to now. Since last week I have this weird problem, my laptop is shut down without any reason.

    At first, he was shut down when I played in the game. But today, it shuts down every time. I tried to do something, and everything I've done is that there is a connect Toshiba power saver: an error code 0 x 0.

    Someone help me, please

    Hello

    In my opinion your laptop must certainly have reason to turn off. According to the description of your problem my first property thereon is overheating. No one can say with certainty what is happening with your laptop here in the forum, but if you use your laptop in an intensive way, it is possible that the fan in the lower draw more than dust and now the dust blocks, cooling system. If you use your laptop on your lap cooling fan is blocked and material cannot be cooled properly.

    Usually when the material temperature is too high, laptop turns off simply without any warning. Initially, try putting the laptop to the upper post (four books) to be sure that your laptop can take a deep breath and just see if laptop will run a bit more as before.

    Anyway, it is not a solution and I think you should clean up your beautiful Satellite M70. Standby power is another issue and we can discuss it later. ;)

  • Satellite P30-109 laptop shuts down suddenly

    Hello

    I have a laptop P30-109. When I run the heavy applications or something, he is suddenly turns off... When I turn it on again, all right. But then, it can happen anywhere again any time. Someone knows what to do please?

    Hello guys

    I agree with you, David. It could be an overheating problem. Sometimes if the cooling fans can t will work properly the temperature at the critical limit increase and the laptop stops. It is a thermal protection.
    I suggest to check the fan and clean it with a vacuum cleaner.

  • Satellite A30 PSA30E suddenly turned off

    My A30 satellite seems to work ok as long as the air can move freely under the fans. When the power is low and you plug it in, it turns off after about 5 minutes. You must charge the battery and remove the sector so that it works without going out suddenly while you're busy using it. All solutions? or the reasons why. Did the last update of the BIOS.

    Hey guys,.

    Maybe you should do the following:

    Take a can compressed air to an electronic market, blast, some air trough the vents of your laptop and try if your machines are chrashing... sometimes simply it s one with cpu clobbed dust fan and and a clobbed cooling system, causing problems like yours.

    It s worth a try...

  • Satellite L650 - random instant shut-off valve

    Was using my laptop and all of a sudden he stops instantly. Turned it on and it happened once again quite close at the start.

    So I thought it was a battery problem, I took and used only AC power. It has worked well for the rest of the night. I have yet to test the battery and it turns off again.

    On the morning, it was on straight for hours then until 18:00 ish, you instantly stop again. It turned on and once again it happened close to start.

    This may be the cause? Overheating during the day? Form questionable ca, he needs a few twists before recharging, but then that's fine.

    Hello

    I think that you should first check if the fans and the vents are free of dust.
    For most high temperature is responsible for this stop automatic downs.

    Clean fans/grids in the past? Isn't it?
    I put t know how old your laptop is but the unit must be cleaned periodically to prevent overheating of the laptop.

    Use a common compressed air spray that would help you to get rid of the dust.

    I m wondering about the results

  • Satellite A30 randomly shutsdown?

    Does anyone have ideas, which could be the origin of do this outside the overheating. It happens regularly and seems to be more likely to occur when children play an online game like Runescape. Could this be related applications that are heavy on the treatment?

    Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
    Thank you, Sarah-Jane

    Hey there,

    Usually the reason for the random stops are bound with dust on the fan.
    The best way to clean is to bring it to an authorized repair center. But if you want to try it yourself, you can use a vacuum cleaner on the holes under the laptop where the fan is (I know it sounds funny but I've seen it work: P)

  • Satellite X 200-unexpected shut downs as soon as I use the SLI

    I've always bought Toshiba as well for me and the company,
    I bought a Satellite X 200 and as soon as I use the SLi makes the unexpected closure of the bottom computer...

    And the most important thing is that I paid a lot of money for it.
    My old laptop performance :(
    Feels like products are sometimes not tested until they sell.

    Anyone over with the same point of view on the Satellite X 200?

    My friend has a X 200 and has no problem with SLI.

    Have you tried other games? This game has maybe a compatibility issue with SLI.

    You use the graphics drivers supplied by Toshiba? If you use drivers from a non-Toshiba source, it can cause problems of this kind.

    Also update the BIOS and maybe try a new image (run recovery) if all else fails.

    If it fails on a new image, then a video card may be defective.

  • Satellite A30 keyboard suddenly stopped working - how to remove and reinstall?

    Hi all, n00b to laptops and first post. OK, I usually build and repair desktop computers, so much easier to win the centimeters!
    My daughter turned on his laptop A30 last night and only 2 keys worked. Tried to restart and go into the BIOS but could not. Tried to start in safe mode, only the top and bottom of work therefore impossible to select Safe mode... doh. Guess it must be a harware issue.

    Restarted in Xp an open upward Notepad... this time, about 5 keys working. Reboot, 3 keys etc etc.

    How to cable Ribbon to make sure it is placed correctly. It is common for a keyboard to fail in this way and it is easy to get a replacement?
    At the mo, have all the screws that I know, battery removed, DVD rom and hard drive. Seems to be held towards the middle and the back. Don't want to force and break something else!

  • Satellite A300-1EC cannot load the OS and restart just /shuts down

    Can you help me with my problem of A300 PSAG0Elaptop.

    This is the case:
    before that I can still use my laptop normally without plugging the power cord but when plug the source ca the unit restarts all of a sudden. I charge the battery only when the unit is off. And now the worst case gets when I installed the recovery disk hoping would solve the problem. I can no longer load the operating system; It's just loading then it does not load and suddenly shuts down and sometimes simply frozen. I have not tried the safe mode, mode ahci, system recovery, system repair, and stil no chance.
    I brought this already at the center of ASP service and they demanded almost 1 unit brand new laptop for repair of my laptop is not advisable to send them to repair.
    I doubt that my system bios is not compatible with my vista Home premium OS, or perhaps my wife update of the bios that is not compatible in windows update. My current bios I checked is 1.4

    Given that I have no option instead of junking my laptop, I want to update or back to the original settings of the bios that can help to repair my device.
    Can you help me on how to update or revert to the original my system bios? As I can't access the windows can you teach me step by step using the usb port of my camera on system bios update? Or do you have any suggestions?

    Hey Buddy,

    First of all, the BIOS can only be updated Windows System. There is no other version that you can download on the site Web of Toshiba.

    But I doubt that this problem is caused by the BIOS. It s I knew not that it is possible to change certain values which make impossible Windows installation. With other words BIOS is secure and with all the settings, it should be possible to install Windows.
    An alternative you can press F9 in BIOS to load the default settings. That would be the best option.

    But according to your assignment, if Windows installation of recovery disc doesn t work and you are not able to charge the battery while the laptop is turned on it seems to be a hardware malfunction because seriously it has nothing to do with the software.

    So either come you into contact with the ASP to get the repaired device or you can repair yourself with original spare parts with parts ASP or second-hand on eBay or similar platforms.
    Of course, you can buy a new laptop: in case the motherboard would be defective because the motherboard is very expensive spare part, it would be the best choice in my opinion.

  • Satellite A30 overheating problem

    I've had my A30 for about 9 months now, he is just starting to give me problems. At least I have put the computer on top of some books (which is very heavy) my A30 overheats and shuts down. It only started happening. Is it just because of the dust build up or do I have a technical problem. If this is the first, where should I go to get my computer cleaned? Any help will be received with recognition of Ed

    Hello

    Dust clean usually of the heatsink from the CPU using a domestic vacuum hose in the fan air intake grilles.

    Alternatively it is possible to remove the heat sink by removing the small plastic cover (adjacent to the air intake grilles) and then by unscrewing the screws in the sink four hest. The heatsink can then be lifted off and removed debris. Ensure that the heat dispering paste is always in place reassembly of the heat sink.

    Please do not forget to p [ower off Notepad first.

  • HP G60 can shut down as usual

    Hi, my HP G60 laptop suddenly shuts down as usual.

    I just follow the normal procedure to shut down the computer in windows vista. But this does not as usual since yesterday. Normally, when the screen went completely black and it takes a few seconds to close completely. But since yesterday, when the screen went black, it takes about 10 minutes to turn off completely. During these 10 minutes, I see even the power led on and the fan will continue to operate at high speed.

    I have not make any unusual thing on the computer yesterday, office used and read emails from hotmail.

    Anyone can help on this please?

    Thank you

    Hello

    It may be a good idea to see if this is caused by a program that starts with Windows

    Start Notepad and let Windows load completely.  Hold down the Windows key and press R.  For the run box, type msconfig and press ENTER.  In the next window, click the Startup tab, uncheck the box next to each startup item and then click on apply to apply the change.  Restart the portable computer for the change to take effect.  When the laptop has rebooted, leave it for a few minutes, then try stopping.  If it stops OK now, reactivate a substantive point at a time, click on apply and restarted for the change to be applied, then check the speed at which the laptop stops.  Keep doing this until you experience the problem and you will know that the last program that you define to start is the origin of the problem.

    Kind regards

  • 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 Pro A200-PSAE4E - computer laptop shuts down randomly

    I've had my Satellite Pro A200-PSAE4E for about a year and a half now. He ran very well most of the time, but in recent months he has been stop itself randomly. There is no warning or "Windows is shutting down" he just me using my computer to a blank screen.

    After frustrated with her, I did a full format my HARD drive and started from scratch. This does not solve the problem, and since then, the taskbar freezes. When I click on it I get the error and the hourglass cursor message "Windows Explorer is not responding... "I then have to click"restart", which makes the taskbar disappear for a few seconds before returning (usually without my sound icon).

    The laptop turns off when it is connected to the electric network with & without the battery and when running only on battery, so I excluded all power problem.

    I have considered it heats up too, but I use a block of cooling with built-in fans and has not himself in a few minutes after being hit not 24 hours, so I'm not sure that's the problem.

    Someone at - it ideas?

    I am running WIndows Vista Home Premium 32-bit if that's any help.

    Thank you.

    > It worked fine most of the time, but in recent months he has been stop itself randomly.

    I think that the problem of overheating.
    The fact is that the laptop would be down automatically stops in order to avoid that the pieces of equipment against damage.
    In most cases this problem can be solved very easily. Using a jet of compressed air, you can remove the dust from the cooling modules and fans.
    I clean my fans from time to time, because I noticed a higher temperature and the laptop was a little stronger.
