• Satellite A300-1QD - start some time and memory errors won't test

  Hello

  I have some real problems with a brand new satellite A300 1QD.
  After update of Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit (Service Pack2) Vista unbootable. After the reboot of forst, it showed a message:

  File: \windows\system32\winload.exe
  Status: 0xc0000221
  Info: the file is corupt possibaly. the header checksum does not match the checksum calculated.

  AprΦs the dΘmarrage of the original CD Vista Home Premium or the Systembuilder OEM another error appeared:

  Error: 0xc000000f
  Missing or damaged \Windows\system32\winload.exe

  Does not even work by pressing F8 during startup. I have a chance to start even a repair because there is no option that I could choose.

  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.

  The A300 are one week. Am I allowed to remove a RAM bar without losing the warranty?
  I have read that sometimes it helps. I was able to do a memtest software vista. It is said that some hardware conflicts appeared.

  I am desprate, please help.

  EDIT:
  I did another test memory with linux 64 bit (openSUSE 11.1) and many erros occurred.
  What can I do now? The laptop is a present fpr my girlfriend Monday 15. Can I order other RAM and return that broke with a Numbor RMA or something?

  EDIT2:
  I recognized, that sometimes, when I start the laptop, the power led is the lightning to the top, but the satellite logo in the left corner remains dark.

  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!

• Is impossible to recover the Satellite A300-1QD (VISTA)

  Hey I have a problem.

  I tried to restore my Toshiba Satellite A300-1QD parameters by pressing the F8 key.
  I followed every step correcrtly, but when it came to 99% the computer was off all of a sudden.

  I don't know why, but maybe the computer got overheated or something, but I've had enough battery life.
  Then I tried to turn it on again and it is said there may have been some damage and he said I should put a "a CD to install Windows" as a first step, step says that I should choose a language, and step 3 says I should click on REPAIR.
  HE DIDN'T THERE HAS NO OTHER OPTIONS.

  Then he said: if I do not have the CD, I must contact the producer.
  As I remember, I do not have any what CD with my Toshiba when I bought a year or two ago.
  All I have is a yellow mini CD that says DISK of DRIVER on it.

  Is anyone of you know if a recovery CD is shipped with Toshiba Satellite A300?
  And no one knows what I have to do because I think I don't have it?

  Thanks in advance.

  You didn t get the recovery disk because there was an option to create the recovery disk clean you had to read the user manual
  The preinstalled tool called Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator can create a recovery disk
  Now it s too late you are not able to boot the system

  In this case, you must order the recovery disk;

• Satellite A300-1QD - how to restore Vista preinstalled?

  Hey,.

  I made a big mistake, two years ago. I installed windows 7 on my Satellite A300-1QD but on the laptop Windows Vista was installed and I have no recovery disk, but I have the original serialnumber of it.

  Are there opportunities to put Windows Vista on the laptop without buying a new version of Windows Vista?

  welcome them

  Hello

  If you don t have a recovery disk, you must order such a Toshiba drive directly to restore preinstalled Windows Vista with all the drivers and tools (factory settings):
  https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

  But it s not free as far as I know it costs about 30 Euros.

  So I t understand why you didn't create the recovery disc yourself. Everything is mentioned in the user manual

• Satellite A300-1QD - two questions during the installation of windows XP or Vista

  Nice day
  Here's my problem:

  1. I just bought the Toshiba Satellite A300-1QD and since there is Vista based on it and I have Vista ultimate, I decided to install on the laptop.
  After I formatted deleated everything and I have the partition that I created a new.
  After that I installed Vista, now I'm at the point where it says complete installation and the blow bar is at about 2/3.
  My problem now is that it's now been 3 hours and nothing happens the dots next to the 'installation complete' is still occurring and disappearing.

  2 as the number one lasted so long I decided to install windows XP Professional, but when it loads after that I put the cd one has bluscreen place called chkdsk.

  What should I do now to get something on what works?

  Hello. I think that the partition table and boot loader are messed up and it's your problem. You can try to chek to find errors and format your HARD disk with a third parity tool and try to install windows again.

• Satellite A300-20 b and cooling problem

  Hello

  I have Toshiba Satellite A300-20 b and I have a cooling problem. Since I have this laptop I ve been tracking the temperature of the CPU and found out I got the maximum temperature was about 80 c. The strange thing is that the cooler starts only when the CPU reaches this high temperature, if it isn't the cold remains off.

  Another weird thing is that once it is not blocking the cooler starts. It stops only if I restart or shut down the computer. Is this normal? Should I worry about something? Thank you very much for your answers.

  OS: Windows 7

  Have you noticed the same thing with the settings and Vista preinstalled laptop?

• Satellite A300D - overheating and shutdown

  Hello

  I have a problem with my 3 month old Toshiba Satellite A300D-126. Any time I play a game like Call of Duty 4 or Warcraft after like 15-20 min, the left side of the laptop where the cooler is placed, it is overheating, almost too hot to the touch, and finally the laptop stops.

  I have to mention the fact that, recently, I installed XP (all the drivers downloaded from the Toshiba site), but I somewhat had the same problems on Vista also.

  I downloaded MobileMeter, and temperatures have shown here I think that they are not normal:
  Temp - HDD-35-36 degrees C and 80-85 C (when I m only not with the games, so I think that during the Games time. significantly increase)

  Is it possible that the cooler can deal with games, and it is dusty? If so, how do I to clean?

  Allows any kind of response,

  Thank you

  Hello

  I play call of Duty 4 on Satellite A300-1LI and so far everything is fine. Okay that's the different hardware platform, but I still believe that there should be no difference.

  I think CPU temperature is perhaps greater than usual but, in my opinion, not the critical level. The normal temperature of the hard drive and the same as on my Satellite A300.
  I don't know how you use your laptop, but it is the new model of laptop and I don't think that there is so much dust inside. If the laptop is placed on the desk, try putting back on two CD boxes and place it on the top position. Reduce graphics settings in the game and check again.

  Is the method of cooling energy savings of Toshiba to the maximum level?

• Re: Satellite A300 - 1 5 - unexpected shutdown

  I am facing a problem when using my laptop Toshiba Satellite A300 - 1 5. My computer suddenly stops almost every day...

  Before that happens, my computer is not responding and I received several messages like: ATI Display driver stopped responding, but was retrieved successfully.

  Maybe I caused the problem, because I do not used to use the operating system pre-installed - which was Windows Vista Home edition. Instead, I installed Windows Vista Business x 64.

  My graphics card is ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3400 Series. I downloaded and installed the latest drivers from the ATI site.

  When this strange thing happen, I am usually loaded by windows to check for a BIOS update - but any version that I download from the Web from Toshiba site is older than mine - which is 1.6.0.

  Any kind of help would be very appreciated and we thank you in advance!

  Everything but this is great, I really enjoy working on my Toshiba.

  Hello

  I think the reason is the reason why you use the manufacturing display driver. On the ATI site, I can only find drivers desktop for the HD3400 and not for the series of mobility.
  On the Toshiba site, I can t find the drivers for Windows Vista 64-bit. :(

  The display driver are often causes problems if they are not Toshiba because they don t have a protection against overheating. So it s your risk and peril if you use the Toshiba drivers no.

  I think that the only solution is to use the factory settings. This means that you must use the recovery disc and reinstall.

• Satellite A300-15E overheats and turns off automatically

  Hello

  I am trying to solve a strange problem with a Toshiba Satellite A300-15E.

  For me, it's like the laptop overheating CPU. but I accept all suggestions on this subject.

  My customer told me that the laptop is very hot and it runs about 20 minutes then turns off.
  I disassembled it and clean the dust, put the thermal paste on the CPU and VGA.
  After mounting it turns on again and it stops more than a minute.

  My question is where I hurt, what I can do to solve this problem.

  10 x a lot.

  Hello

  Did you use the right thermal grease for the CPU?
  The compatible thermal grease: BU1 FCR - AS A000018310 THERMAL GREASE

  Are you sure that the thermal (cooling module) assy working properly?
  Compatible part must has a role: THERMAL ASSY A000031620 SA5

  In your case I would test the memory too...

• Satellite A300 keeps overheating

  I bought my Satellite A300-09Y year last at the same time as 2 friends
  and we seem to all be confronted with the same problems
  I use my laptop for games, I rarely even use it for video clips.
  It's mostly just for study purposes, but for some reason any
  He just guard overheated and the circuit breaker is triggered every 20 minutes if I don't raise
  If I raise, it will last up to 35 minutes.
  I am very worried because once I left it on a plastic table mat and he ended up reshaping of the carpet
  which is used to protect the table of bins in a hot oven.

  How can I solve this problem?

  I have Satellite A300-1LI almost 2 years now and use it everyday for my job.
  It is pre-installed with Windows XP Home edition and Win7 (dual boot) and so far I didn't notice this problem.

  If you use it for daily work, I recommend to use the balanced power plan, turn off all unnecessary background processes and make sure that the laptop is placed correctly on the table. Ventilation cooling down must be free and your laptop should be able to take a breath.

  Make sure that the cooling on the bottom grid is free. You can also try to place the back side on two books or CD boxes to make the distance between the office and the bottom side of your laptop a little higher.

  What you can also do is to clean the cooling rack. After a year of use I can imagine the dust inside and she can also mobile blocks cooling process.

• Satellite A300 - dvd, usb and card reader does not work

  Help needed please.

  Have a laptop Satellite A300, running vista.

  Until a few weeks ago everything good, then noticed the cd did you not recognized and disk in it. The card reader can't find anything on the card (and Yes, the card was full.)

  The usb scanner is recognized as an external memory card and the other usb port does not fuction.

  I have not installed or don't remember changing of settings or do whatever it is the habit.

  Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.

  Hello

  Your ad is very confused.
  > Until a few weeks ago everything good, then noticed the cd did you not recognized and disk in it.
  Well, there are several reasons for this; It would be possible that the inserted disc is not completely compatible. Try different drives from different manufacturers.
  It would also be possible that the STRANGE laser lens is dirty. In this case, you might clean using a cotton ball and alcohol tip. In my case it helped.

  > The card reader can't find anything on the card (and Yes, the card was full).
  Did you use a compatible card? The laptop runs these cards:
  8MB - 2 GB SD card
  SDHC - 4 GB card
  -16 MB - 2 GB xD Picture card
  Memory Stick - 8MB - 256MB
  Memory Stick Pro - 256 MB - 2 GB
  MultiMediaCard - 8 MB - 1 GB
  miniSD (with SD adapter) - 32 MB - 2 GB

  I recommend also to format the card and to copy files from computer, and then test this.
  You can also reinstall and update the driver for the card reader controller...

  > The usb scanner is recognized as an external memory card
  Can't believe that you must use a scanner software (must be provided with the scanner) and have to test this unit. By the way; for the most part a scanner driver must be installed in order to use this

• Satellite A200 - 1C0 - overheating and close

  Hello world:

  I ve got a Satellite A200 - 1C0 PSAE0E and since one month, it stops due to overheating (hybridized with hot CPU). The fact is that when I restart the computer to the BIOS screen, fan of the processor begins to work at a very high speed (to cool the CPU), but to start Windows to start the fan suddenly stops, and the fact is that the CPU is always at 78 degrees celsius.

  I tried updating the BIOS, reinstall windows recovery partition and all components, but it does not solve anything. Also tried to install Windows 7 and still nothing and windows Xp and still nothing. I Don t know what else to do. Help will be apreciated.

  Thank you very much.

  Hey,.

  To properly clean your cooling system, see this article from Toshiba:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD7A01ZZ000AR01.htm

  Another reason could be the old thermal grease and maybe, it must be renewed. If t, you can do it yourself, ask a technician for laptop help! :)

• Satellite A300D - is overheating and can not play games

  Hello
  I'm quite desperate. My Satellite A300D is overheating. I can not play new games. Temperature hit 94 degrees and laptop is restarted. I cleaned it several times, very precisely and nothing. So I decided to send it to the official service of Toshiba. After that, the phone is still the same.

  My only hope is buy cooling grease and cooling stock-base. But before that ideas, advice?

  Thanks for everything...

  Hello

  I can understand you mate, but have you contacted Toshiba service center again? You should speak with the technicians and explain the situation. I put t know what they did, do you know that?

  Cleaning of the laptop is still a good idea but if it doesn't work maybe the thermal compound must be renewed. So ask a technician for help laptop.

  By the way: what OS are you using? You can use the same problem with the factory settings and preinstalled display driver?
