Satellite A300 1 5 - freeze at startup

• Satellite A300-1GC random freeze

  Hello

  my laptop (Satellite A300-1GC) worked very well for many years. But then last year he startet freeze randomly.

  What I mean with gel: I can't do anything, the mouse and the button are not, nothing on the screen moves (stop animations etc.). The only way to restart the computer is pressing the power on button for a few seconds.

  First of all I thought to a software problem, perhaps caused by an update windows (windows 7 Professional).

  The problem appeared different situations (programming, surfing the web,...), but often directly after starting the computer. Sometimes even in the login screen. I disabled all the startup process automatic antivirus, software, etc., but the problem remains.

  I never had the problem in safe mode (don't know if that's the correct word, in German, it is 'abgesicherter Modus'), but I don't use it very much, as a test.

  Then I installed linux mint on a separate partition. At first glance, it seems that the problem does not occur there. But after a few days: same problem. Random freezes, often after the start, but also at any time thereafter.

  I have not found any information related to the problem in the newspapers, in windows or Linux.

  So now I think it's a hardware problem, as it took place in windows (even at the login screen) and linux.
  I checked the disc with windows chkdisk and memory with memtest86 +. No error was found.

  You have an idea, what could be the reason for the gel? You need more info?

  Thank you very much

  Laptop could start freeze due to a higher internal temperature.
  After a long period of use fans and the vents may be blocked by dust.
  Dust prevents the fan is working properly and therefore the temperature could increase that may affect the functionality of the laptop.

  Try to clean the grates and remove the dust using a jet of compressed air.
  It is perhaps the best way to get rid of dust

  Another reason for this gel could be the memory problem
  It seems that you have already checked the laptop for the problems of RAM running the memtest86 + but even if this tool has said there is no problem of RAM, memory dysfunction might be possible. Of course it's only suggestion

  I think that you don't have a choice but to check each possibility: new installation of the OS, fan cleaning, maybe new HARD drive?

  Everything is possible

• Satellite A300-1J1 - webcam freezes

  My built in web camera freezes after 20 seconds of use (even no registration, just to be on) and then takes a few pictures every 10 to 40 seconds. It is never used to freeze so I was wondering maybe I needed to download new software, but I couldn't find anything.
  I checked all the system requirements and they are all filled.

  Help?

  Hello!

  To be honest I m wondering about this question. I have the Satellite A300 too and yesterday all night I used the camera for video calling my friend. I never had a problem and I was surprised of the image quality quite well.

  Regarding your problem, you should try to update the driver for the webcam that you can find on the Toshiba site:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > Download Driver

  But before installing the new version, you must remove the old one. Restart the computer and then install the latest version.

  I hope that helps! :)

• Satellite A300 PSACGA - display distorts and freezes

  I have a Satellite A300 PSACGA-02V010 running Vista Ultimate.
  The laptop is around the age of 10 months and 12 hours a day for work purposes.

  For some reason there is a few days display distorted (pixelated) and froze.
  The only way to recover was a difficult start. Restarted the laptop it shows the desktop for about 30 seconds and did a repeat freeze performance. I restarted mode safe and it works very well for days.

  I thought there must be something loading at normal startup is causing the problem, so I disabled everything I thought I could do without and restarted in Normal Mode. Once again the office poster for about 30 seconds and then frozen again. I tried to roll using recovery, charging display and BIOS drivers from the Toshiba site but continues to the situation.
  In SafeMode it never freezes up

  Any suggestions?

  Hey great. Happy to know that you have found the solution to this.
  Several times on this forum I write that it is not easy to give an answer or suggestion, what can be done. In any case thanks for the comments.

• Windows Vista freezes on Satellite A300

  Hi everyone, I recently bought a Satellite A300 pre loaded with Vista just before Christmas.

  Everything seemed to go OK first but now my computer has taken to freezing on me at least once a day and to do everything I have to the control + alt + delete and restart. It is extremely annoying. Can someone advise me (in really simple talk as I am not techhie spirit!) what is the problem and how to fix. All responses appreciated!

  Hello

  I too have a PSAG0A of A300 Satallite that freezes in Vista Home Premium. It varies between 30 seconds and a few hours before he can lock up, but it has been getting worse over time. Analysis antivirus shows an own system of several vendor scanning but it is difficult to make them fill out now because of the freeze. I am looking for a factory reset with the recovery CD, otherwise I'll have to take for a cheque of guarantee. If anyone knows of a driver who needs to update or what can be the cause please advise.

• Satellite A300 has a bad power plug overheating easily and freezes a lot

  I got my Satellite A300 about 10 months ago. There always have a badly taken power.

  Is intended for it be loose? Does anyone else have this problem?
  I don't know if I should use my warranty to have it checked.

  I also overheating, blacken and freezing problems.

  Hello Teresah

  I wonder really after that 10 months you did nothing to solve this power plug the question.
  Why don't you contact the nearest Toshiba authorized service provider? I guess that laptop has guaranteed valid and these issues can be fixed for free.

  Be careful with this stuff power and contact the service as soon as possible. I don't know where you live but the complete list of all authorized Toshiba service providers you can find on the Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > download & support > find an ASP.

  With the service guys, you can also discuss abut all other issues you mentioned in this announcement.
  I am also owners A300 and use my laptop about a year now. I use my laptop every day for my work and it runs more than 8 hours a day. So far, I did not notice any hardware or software problem. I ve defined the parameters of power management the balanced diet combined with the minimum level set in the cooling method option. Laptop runs quiet and, at the same time, has enough power for my daily activities as Internet, office applications and Skype.

  It is not easy to say what the problem with your laptop, but I recommend you contact the closest service Toshiba and to clarify these issues.

  Good luck.

  I sometimes have the problem after sleep. When I opened the laptop only can move mouse but can't open anything and Vista freeze. Must turn off the laptop and turns on again.
  I have the latest version of the BIOS.

  How to solve the problem?

  Hello

  I never had this problem on my Satellite A300, but this happens only in sleep or hibernation mode too?

  It's really hard to say why this happens but make sure that you have installed all the software fixes for Vista and maybe you should try to reinstall Vista using Toshiba recovery disc. Maybe an application of part 3 is originally this gel.

• Satellite A300-MM1 - startup is very slow

  I bought 3 notebooks (Satellite A300-MM1) a month ago, but I noticed that they were all very slow at startup (boot).
  They took about 6 minutes until I saw the office and sometimes do not work.

  Windows Vista Edition Home Premium (Service Pack 1)
  Intel (r) Pentium (r) Dual T3200 2.00 GHz 2.00 GHz

  I thought it was the Antivirus but I put the McAfee Antivirus in two of them and Kaspersky in the other, but I faced the same problem.

  What should I do?

  TEMPRO is pre-installed on these laptops?

• Satellite A300 - Cheep at startup

  Nice day

  Yesterday, I bought the laptop Toshiba Satellite A300 and then I installed it, Windows 7 RC1 and now there is a problem. When the laptop start to return to the "starting windows" screen laptop starts tweet tweet terribly strong, and it takes about 1 minute. After the system starts and works correctly. Can someone tell me what average tweet, because it's very annoying, because the speakers are portable computer quality as well as the tweet is clearly heard.

  Thank you

  Hello

  To be honest, I have no idea what you mean :(
  But I've seen questions;
  You have installed Win 7 RC but have you tested the laptop with OS preinstalled Toshiba?
  Have you noticed the same tweet tweet (although it should be) running OS Vista Toshiba?

  Please check this!

  PS: this sound/noise early start is perhaps a part of Win 7...

• Satellite A300 crash at startup

  Got an A300 - 1J1 which, at normal startup, hangs at the busy thing Green Windows with a damaged screen bar.
  Starts in SafeMode Ok. I tried to check the disk, but hangs on reboot.

  F8 computer repair breaks down.
  Have tried resetting the bios, always falls down.

  There are 2 sticks of ram, I tried one at a time, not good, always accidents.
  Tried to boot to recovery DVD, fails at the same point, with corrupt again screen.
  Tried to boot the disk replacement windows vista crashes, restarts.

  Memtest cd of ubuntu, tests ok.

  Something else I can check?

  > Tried to boot to recovery DVD, fails at the same point, with corrupt again screen.
  > Tried to start on the hot spare vista windows, crashes, restarts.

  Above all it s a sign of hardware problem if the system can be installed using the recovery disk.

  What about a HARD disk check?
