Satellite A300-1ed freezes while mode 'sleep' in XP

Hi all!

Sorry about my English... Well I have a problem with the gel under XP.
I did a downgrade and everything works fine except when I try to restart or to sleep... then it freezes... sometimes... not all the time... someone knows how to fix this problem or does anyone have the same problem like me?

Spec

BIOS is 1.60... (on Toshiba download page is 1.50 for Xp)
Double heart 2390
ATI 3470 256 MB

Enjoy your life while you can :)))

Check the event viewer in Control Panel-> administrative tools to find errors.

Make sure that the drivers and BIOS are updated. Check the Drivers section on the Toshiba site.

If you have installed a printer or a Scanner, try to remove the software.

    Hello, Norbert

    Maybe you should check the settings of Vista power again. I have too many A300 and everything works fine.
    I tested it with all three power plans. Have you done the same?

    You can try to do, but it won't work. This key will not activate your own operating system preinstalled.
    This product key is for the recovery image, that you got with your laptop.

    Many people understand this wrong, especially when they sell old books on eBay and wrote: legal production key is on the bottom. And what to do with this key? You can't do anything with it.

  • Satellite U840 - goes on the mode 'sleep' when you browse the internet

    Hi, I bought one of the Toshiba U840 nine ultrabook.

    Something is really wrong with these machines;
    While I surf the net, actually when I type something portable past suddenly on the mode 'sleep'? Any idea what is wrong with him?

    The bottom line is; I bought a similar machine in the shop and I went back as a defective machine, they replaced for me with the same model but this computer has a strange problem!

    Suggestions, please?

    Or maybe you're pressing the function key suspended above the keyboard or by pressing the power button?

  • Satellite C650-1CN won't mode 'sleep'

    The laptop doesn't pass in mode 'sleep'. The screen turns off but the PC does not sleep. I can force the sleep using the function keys, by closing the lid or the start menu.

    I have two Satellites with the same applications, it works perfectly, but it does not sleep. The old PC running Windows 7 32, the new PC running Windows 7 64 with Toshibas own power management utility.

    I tried to change the power management settings in Windows 7 and this has not solved the problem. The computer won't sleep on a network or in battery mode. The PC is a C650-1CN, bios has been upgraded to 1.5 and it has 4 M of RAM.

    Spoils a beautiful machine that is a good value.

    > The laptop don't pass in mode 'sleep'. The screen turns off but the PC does not sleep.
    > I can force the sleep using the function keys, by closing the lid or the start menu.

    Have you tried to change the different time for mode 'sleep'?
    How about processes that are running in the background?
    These running processes can prevent the notebook to access the mode 'sleep'.

    As you can see here on this screeshot, it s necessary to the configuration of the power plant.

  • Satellite A300-1ED - upgrade CPU of PDC to C2D

    Hi all
    Small question. I still have six months toshiba warranty on my A300-1ED. laptop is very good. Never fail. But it lacks performance so I want to upgrade my PDC T2390 to some C2D processor.
    Tell me what model of C2D my A300-1ED runs (card mother and bios)? T7500? T5750? Frequency FSB? 667 or 800?

    Someone at - he do it before?

    Thanks for all the tips!

    Hello

    First of all, you will lose the warranty if you would disassemble the laptop!
    This should be clear to you.

    Then there is no guarantee that your laptop would go well and stable after this upgrade the CPU.
    I m thinking about issues of compatibility between the processor and BIOS since the BIOS was pretested with the other processors.

    However, I have read some threads here on the CPU upgrade and some users do that
    Seems that some laptops run without any big problems after upgrade CPU, but I think it's not consistent for all series

    Perhaps this topic could be useful:

  • Satellite A300-1ED - super slow performance of SSD

    Hi people,

    My 2009 toshiba a300 is a great laptop, but after 5 years of use, it slows down a bit.
    I tried to improve it with new CPU - unfotrunatlly BIOS run.

    So, let me show you my current specification: T2390 1, 86 MHz dual core, 4 GB of 533 HD3470 GPU, RAM, windows 7 64 bit edition Home premium and to speed up everyting, I recently bought 120 GB 840 evo ssd.

    The results? Horrible...

    Guys, help me.
    He got the last intel ich8 drivers (I can't install Intel Rapid Storage - don't know why "this platform is not supported'), beta drivers GPU, fully updated, Bios 1.80 Samsung ssd frimeware magician WIN. Startup time is also very slow.

    > Results? Horrible...
    I'm not sure but think that the SATA HDD controller supports SATA so you can expect the theoretical speed of 150 MB/s I. (or lower) but so be 100% sure you should install some like Everest Home Edition or AIDA64 hardware diagnostic tools. In the best cases, it would be SATA II

    What SATA mode is set in the BIOS? AHCI or compatible?
    If it s all in compatibility mode, the SSD drive would not use SATA properties.

    In order to use SATA performance, you must set the AHCI in the BIOS and installing the Win 7 system, you must add the SATA driver (part of the set of Storage Manager intel IRST)

  • Satellite A505-S6030 hangs in mode 'sleep'

    So I got the A505-S6030 for about a month and a half because it was a good deal, but now I think I'm regretting my interest to be a Hunter of the windfall.

    My main problem with this laptop, is that whenever he goes into sleep mode, the computer crashes and I have to hold the power button in order to stop it (Yes, I tried the trick of the caps lock and the light does not illuminate).

    When he 'plant', the power light is still on as well as all my media controls, but the screen is stuck on a black background and the computer is frozen. Sometimes after I do that, I have to relight several times just to get going again. I tried to update my NVIDIA drivers via their official website. All I was really able to take advantage of these accidents is the following:

    Signature of the problem:

    My second problem which just started is pregnant Harman/Kardon "premium sound.
    In the beginning, it was the right speaker has completely exploded suddenly, and only sound from the left speaker was working. I've updated the Realtek High Definition Audio drivers, and it seemed to solve the problem.

    A few days later, only the right speaker now works, and the left has more noise.
    Do you really think I have horrible luck and Harman/Kardon speakers have gone bad already?
    I hope not, because I never put the volume high enough to blow them (literally keep less than 50% at any time).

    Sorry for this long post and thank you for your time.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Hello

    I agree with the user above and recommend that you install the latest drivers of Toshiba display rather nVidia because nVidia drivers are not pre-tested and nobody can tell how they work and if they cause problems.
    You can download all the driver here updates:

    In addition, it would be interesting to know if this happens on the pre-installed Windows version or you have installed a different version of Windows?

    Wait a minute: you use Vista and Windows XP Home edition or you installed Vista only? I didn't understand exactly what you wrote.

    If you are using Vista just go to BIOS settings and set SATA controller in AHCI mode. After restarting Vista several AHCI drivers will be installed and Vista work well will win.
    If you use two operating systems, it can be problematic, because you can not set on AHCI back. You will get the blue screen after each start up Windows XP Home edition.
