Satellite A300-1MT freezes from time to time

Hello.

My lay is old and only 3 days and the only problem is that it freezes every time.
I use it on AC/high performance. I just work on it, and when I run the installation of a game it freezes usually, when sometimes I'm working on it, just browse the internet or write in word, it just freezes, did some stupid lines on the screen and that's it.
I have to stop it by pressing the button for 6 seconds.

I watched the temperatures. CPU is the GU of 60-65, 50-55 and HDD on 40-45 degrees. and when it's freezing, HDD Led goes off, all the others are bright white.

Can someone tell me what to do? What is the problem?
Should I take it back and get a new one?

Hello!

It is not easy to say what is the reason for this problem, but I think this could be a problem of the RAM or the motherboard.

In your case, I would check the RAM with Memtest86:
[www.memtest86.com]

Did you install the laptop with the Toshiba recovery disc or disc of Microsoft?
Maybe reinstall Windows might also solve the problem. Try it.

Good bye

  • Satellite L855-123 freezes from time to time

    Hello

    My laptop freezes from time to time, especially just after that is (re) starts. Most of the time the audio or the video freezes for a few seconds (any program I use), it affects everything else too (for example, when music freezes, google chrome will act weird as well), but I am able to move as much as I please.

    In Event Viewer, there is a lot of "iastor, id: 9" since the 20th of this month (the day all gel started to happen). But as of yesterday, it seems to be have been replaced by "atapi, id: 11» I don't have any new software before all this happened?

    I looked around and tried a couple things that have helped others: off Link State Power Management; made sure all drivers have been updated; Uninstall Intel Rapid Storage Technology. Nothing seems to work here however.

    If all goes well, there is something else I could try before I have to go through the hassle of reinstalling windows 7 or get new hardware.

    Thank you.

    I guess you do not reproduce this problem of gel.
    It very difficult to talk about issues that cannot be reproduced or occur occasionally.

    But you mentioned the 'file iastor in your ad.
    Iastor belongs to the Intel AHCI / RAID or SATA driver package.

    So I think that the problem is related to the HARD drive or the HARD disk controller.
    I recommend you update Intel® Matrix Storage Manager and Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver to the latest version (check page Intel).

    If this is insufficient, recover laptop using Toshiba recovery disc.
    In case this is not enough, you should check if the internal HARD drive might be the occasional reason for this system of freezing.

    After a few resets the A300 seems to have some problems.
    A few times the display does not start, after the other it does not, start by hanging up during the automatic test etc.
    I have reset the BIOS by default Options, but it does not help.

    Oh, by the way, excuse my English, I hope that I can make myself clear enough that you can help me ^^

    I guess that you have solved this issue thank you for your comments mate!

  • Satellite L40 beeps spontaneously from time to time

    Since I bought my Toshiba Satellite L40, I started noticing that he paged spontaneously from time to time, rarely, but sometimes it does.

    The sound is like a Bios, a single beep, and nothing happens. There are two beep once a day, or a week, most commonly, it emits a sound when I'm browsing the net and are not resource intensive tasks running.

    Well, I noticed by clicking inside beep while too much light. I already checked my HARD disk with various tools, nothing bad, SMART shows 100% health, the temperature is normal, no overheating, I don't know what that would be.

    Please help, someone, I don't want to go to the center of maintenance for the solution.
    Laptop brand new, works very well, no sync or something of the sort, just this thing.

    Hello

    You said it appears only during navigation in the web site?

    Are you sure that this noise is coming from the inside of the laptop and not from the speakers?

    I mean there are a lot of various advertisements in the web using flash, flash animations use sometimes sound. Perhaps this beep belongs to the Web site that you visit sometimes

    Of course, this is only a theory, but exactly what happened to me.
    I was wondering about a strange noise. Finally I discovered that it was advertising on one of the pages I've visited. He was hiding in the corner and I didn t notice first time

  • video in fullscreen makes computer freeze from time to time

    Recently, my computer started to glitch during playback of videos and sometimes even in music.  When the video is full-screen every minute half-minute or so it will freeze for a few seconds, causing the audio quickly repeating sound like a 'd.d.d.d.d.d.d' that lasts a few seconds and then play the movie as usual.  When I reduce the video so it does not have the full screen it time very well provided that this is under a certain size.  When this product problem however it freezes the computer as even the mouse still motionless and then jump to a new location once the computer resumes.  I don't think that this is a problem with the CPU or everything that I tried to run several large programs and max on the CPU and it won't.  Sometimes, it will however while that a video youtube as well.  I checked my card graph and other drivers and they are all up to date, the only thing I found which could be the cause is Health Center says Windows "Intel Graphics Driver has stopped working" I tried using the problem solver is but there is not a solution for this and I reinstalled the drivers anyway and he's always done.  I don't know if this is the problem or not, however, like the date, he says that this problem has occurred does not correspond with me trying it to watch videos.  I would also like to add that this problem happens more frequently when I watch the movie then using VLC with windows media player.  A movie on VLC, I played was actually almost constantly, while Windows Media Player played the film very well.  Although, as I said, Windows Media Player still does from time to time as well and I tried reinstalling VLC and loaded a completely new player to see if it was her and she is always natural.  I have not downloaded programs that I could create a conflict either.  In any case, I'm at a loss and if this problem is not indeed my computer use normal it doesn't stop me from watching movies I really love so any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.

    Hello

    1. may I know the version of the Windows operating system you have? It's windows XP, Vista, Windows 7?

    2. you receive an error message?

    3. What is the RAM in your computer?

    4 is limited to a particular video format?

    I suggest the following methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1: I suggest you to put the computer in a clean boot state.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See the link below for more details:

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows 7:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps in the section above to reset the computer to start as usual.

    Method 2: the System File Checker (SFC) utility allows administrators to perform an analysis of all protected resources to make sure they are the correct version. Whether SFC should find all incorrect versions in one of these protected resources, SFC will be replaced by the correct versions.

    To run a scan suite SFC as follows:

     

    How to use the System File Checker (SFC) to search for missing or damaged system files in Windows 7

    Hello

    I presume that there is overheating problem. Please do not forget that your unit can take a breath. If I remember correctly this unit a fan in the lower corner. Do a little experiment and put the laptop on four books or two on the top to make a distance between the laptop and the desktop. On this way the cooling fan may have more ACI for cooling.

    How old is your unit? You clean it sometimes?

  • Satellite A300 - issue Downgrade from Vista to XP

    Hi all...
    IM intending to get rid of my windows Vista SP2 (32 bit) and XP SP3 (32 bit). My laptop is: [Satellite A300 - 1 G 5 | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=EU&com.broadvis ion.session.new = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 1055589].

    Now, I studied the topic before posting. When the first time I tried to install XP laptop does not recognize the CD of the OS and I failed. Later, I found a topic suggesting through the BIOS and change the HHD of ACHI to compatibility mode, so I did and it works but I have not installed yet. I have a few question reclassification process.

    1. once I have install the XP, can I put the AHCI mode? gives me a better performance (I really don't know what is ACHI!)
    2. this void my warranty?
    3. If I had a problem, the XP installation failed for some reason any and no OS on my laptop, will still be able to use the recovery DVDs to restore my laptop?
    4. now, the issue of the pilots. Here: [list of drivers Vista | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU] and here: [list of Drivers XP | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU], the question as follows:

    (A) some drivers exist in the list of drivers Vista but does NOT exist in XP driver list; as: DVD player, facial recognition, supervisor password, driver of the SRT, tiles for the mobility and WPS Library Center. What should I do?

    (B) is there a specific order to install drivers? as a driver for a device must exist before a driver to avoid conflicts or overwrite files?

    (C) there are several drivers for the same device, how to choose one? example: the Wireless Lan Driver has several companies (Realtek Semiconductor Corporation, Atheros and Intel); which I will use?

    5. is it true that Vista is better than XP mobility? will (consumption and the heat of power management) XP my laptop do suffer from heat because the laptop is already packed with vista? I mean, they tried what OS fits perfectly on the machine, unless Toshiba push just Vista people because Microsoft needs that... lol

    ----------------------------------------------------------------

    Hope that my questions are clear, I had something else to ask, its a matter of opinion. are there advantages of Vista on XP? I use my laptop for some games and make some 3Ds MAX, which both require a lot of RAM, Vista eats up to 1 GB of my RAM, so that XP barely fill half a GB of RAM, that is my main concern when I decided to go for XP. I'd like to hear your opinions and experience life...

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    In my opinion there is no great reason to change to Windows XP Home edition OS. Optimize Vista can also run well and stable on your laptop. I was very skeptical on Vista but now after a year of use I can work very well with it. Soon we will again have Win7 and it should work much better than Vista.

    My point of view is in a hurry and do not always return to comfortable. Of course, you can do what you want and your decision is quite legitimate. I imagine that you will get better performance under Windows XP Home edition for all activities, that you do every day.

    I must also say that you did the right thing to pick up some info before you start the installation of Windows XP Home edition. On this forum, you can find a lot of interesting and useful discussions.

    Back to your questions:
    1 n ° best performance, you'll have under ACHI.

    # 2 you can install what you want.

    3 Yes, but only the DVD. F8 option no longer works and the image on the second partition will be useless.

    4
    At the drivers, tools and utilities are not the same for Vista new and old WXP. Install available stuff. It is not enough.
    B - generally YES. If you need help with this let know us.
    C you know what WLAN card is in your laptop. Check Device Manager under Vista.

    5 I didn't noticed any difference. Toshiba installs Windows XP Home edition for years and has good experience with this. You can use great Toshiba power saver tool in Windows XP Home edition and optimise energy consumption, cooling method and performance. In Vista, you can do the same.

    Hello

    If you have already changed the partitions of HARD drive and deleted files from the HARD disk, then your HARD drive recovery is too bad!

    But to make sure that the HARD drive recovery is not possible please press F8 immediately after the power of the laptop. Usually a start menu should appear and you should be able to choose the option called fix my computer. Then you should be able to choose recovery option.

    But like I said that this is only possible if your HARD drive was not formatted!

    If you have formatted the HARD drive and changed partitions then you will need a Toshiba DVD recovery that you have not because you didn t he create at the beginning. Is this good? Well, then you must order the recovery DVDs if you want to retrieve the laptop to factory settings.
