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!

  • Re: Satellite A300 of start-up problems and time

    Hello everyone,

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A 300, and I have some problems with it.

    Problem is when I leave my computer (without external energy source) the time resets 2007, after several hours about (could be 6 hrs)., and computer quite often begins immediately after that I push the power button.

    I don't know the cause of the problem, because the battery is OK., computer running long on battery.

    I think the problem is in an internal battery in the CMOS, but I don't know if there is in portable computers.

    Suggestions will be highly appreciated!

    Kind regards

    Which is strange, I want to say the CMOS battery should not unload even the main battery is not empty as it s really strange to happen after 6 hours of non-use...

    What you can do is to let the laptop connected to the AC adapter for over 24 hours
    During this period the laptop should be lit!
    Then you can check the operation of the CMOS battery and if this behavior will always be

    If Yes, then you will need to contact a local ASP. Maybe the CMOS or the motherboard needs to be replaced

    Hello

    It sounds like this dust is in the heat sink and your laptop should be cleaned using the jet of compressed air. This could blow out the dust from the cooling fans. You can get air to each computer dealer normally stream.

  • 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.

    > I can remember, I don't have any CD with my Toshiba when I bought a year or two ago.

    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;
    Here you can do;

  • 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

    steste123

    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.

  • Re: Satellite A300-15 b Model_No: PSAJ4E and windows XP

    Hi guys,.

    I bought Toshiba Satellite A300-15 b model_No: PSAJ4E and I am trying to install windows XP. but when the installation message comes out says no hard drive found. I know that this question that I have to use the disk driver hard for allows me to do this.

    My Question is, I need hard disk drivers to support SATA in windows xp?

    Note: I have read in this forum that I can do it in the BIOS Setup, but I don't need this response.

    Thank you very much in advance...

    I think that the chipset for laptops is the same - Intel® PM965 + Intel® ICH8M. You need load the files in the folder Ich8M_32 bits.

    I haven't used itunes for some time and now have a new PC.  I've updated my account (change password) but when I connect to my music went?  I am working on Win 8 and still have part of my collection on an ipod.

    Unless you subscribe to iTunes game (which is not a complete solution anyway) your iTunes Library is on your previous PC - solution the easiest is to copy from here or from a backup.  For more information, see How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support .  Previous purchases from the iTunes Store may be available for re - download - see download your past - purchases of Apple Support.

    If none of these approaches allows to recover the contents of your library, see user turingtest2 on recover your iTunes from your iPod or an iOS device library for a list of tools and methods that can be used to copy the media etc from iPod to iTunes.

    If it is a new machine call or go to circuit city and get them fixed.  If they sold you the laptop, indicating that it included Windows XP then the onus is on them that provide you a valid COA and the product key.

  • virus: I struggled with the virus for some time and cannot get rid of them

    I have struggled with the virus for some time and cannot get rid of them. I bought a few programs, but they have also been infected. any suggestions for a really good virus buster.

    Hello

    First of all, an antivirus solution to an already infected system of loading is usually pretty useless. The bug will block all attempts to remove or load what it sees as a threat. Second, without knowing which virus you are affected by, it is difficult to be precise.

    You can take action include:

    (a) work in safe mode, there is much less likely that the virus is able to load and resist actively.

    (b) the safe mode, run utilities malwarebytes.org and AV solution that was installed * before * your infection.

    (c) post is back with a better description of what is on your system to learn more targeted advice.

  • Re: Satellite A300 cannot start, cannot use the factory recovery

    Hi all, I have a Satellite A300, which gave me problems in the past few weeks...

    I use Windows Vista

    There are about 2 months in the beginning of the laptop problem, it restarts itself automatically before enter in windows (while in the windows loading screen, no blue screen, screen just suddenly darkens and restarts itself), but it will get finally in windows successfully after a few loops

    but about 3 weeks ago, it just keeps looping and never get into windows, good news, it is that it can capture mode safe without problem

    I've done everything I can to try and save, as play with msconfig, drivers, removing the Rams etc, but not luck

    so, I save everything in safe mode and decided to restore the machine factory, but the problem is that when I boot up the computer by pressing 0 and enters the recovery screen, reboot loop will happen!

    any idea? or y at - it another way to restore to factory without touching the windows installed in my laptop? is it a hardware problem or software?

    I thought about the creation of recovery disks but my cd drive is not working properly, and I don't want to take the risk of buying an external cd drive not knowing not if the problem can be solved...

    Thank you very much!

    >.. .i don't want to take the risk of buying an external cd drive not knowing not if the problem can be solved...
    That of right, but you must understand that it is not easy on this virtual path to offer an accurate explanation and diagnosis for your problem.

    It is not easy to tell whether it is hardware or software related issue. best way to test is installation of recovery image. Recovery image is tested and if there are no some portable hardware problem should work fine. How to install the recovery image, which you can read on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R02.htm

    >.. .or is there another way to restore to factory without touching the windows installed in my laptop?
    Something like this is not possible. Windows that you use now needs to be reinstalled. I don't know why you the laptop restarts, but it's also the risk of recovery image installation. In case this recovery image installation will be interrupted, you will have two problems:
    -image of original recovery saved on your HARD drive will be unusable
    -you will not be able to start t

    In your situation the best is to minimize this risk and have original recovery DVD that can be used if something goes wrong.
    > but the problem is that when I boot up the computer by pressing 0 and enters the recovery screen, reboot loop will happen!
    Can you please explain what is exactly happening? Is - this laptop is simply cut off / go to the coast and then reboot again or what?

  • Satellite A300: cannot start: blocked by Phoenix TrustedCore Setup Utility

    {SUMMARY: "Phoenix TrustedCore Setup Utility" appears every time you start, requesting a non-existent password.} How to get rid of this request? }

    This one is a little weird. We have a Tosh Satellite A300-193 mobile (Code manufacturer: PSAJ1E-01000XEN) purchased from July 2008 (via Getech educational scheme). We have (had) Kaspersky Anti-virus on this subject, but since his license has expired (and they didn't really like it), I was going to remove and install Avast.

    Kasperky removal instructions involve have their tool "kavremove" who say their instructions must be run in safe mode. So, after downloading the tool, I pressed F8 to boot into safe mode...

    ... And that's where things went wrong. Instead of typical black screen startup options screen, I got a splash screen at the level type, with a request for password of "Phoenix TrustedCore Setup Utility. We have never set a password on this computer, and I've never seen this particular screen before. After three bad guess (of course they're wrong!, and it does not matter if I leave the field blank), the unit turns off.

    Now when I turn it on, it just goes right to the request for password of Phoenix: I hit F2, F12, F8 or whatever it is. I can't establish why it should do, or how I can possibly bypass it. None of my password guess work (of course).

    I googled for hours (literally), closes the thing, I could find were instructions in [a post on the forum USA | http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/Windows-Vista-Windows-XP/Satellite-A205-Cannot-Access-BIOS/m-p/123075#M7749]. It was a partial solution: we can start the machine with this procedure (phew!).

    Unfortunately, it is not a permanent solution. After EACH stop, at the next start-up presents impossible demand "password." So it comes to pull the battery (again), to the phase of "discharging", battery, turn on and - it boots. Or at least, he has every time so far.

    This is going to be extremely painful. Any tips or to tackle the problem of pointers, which would be welcome. I will never see this request for password "Setup Utility".

    Thank you!

    Hello

    I think the password loss is the BIOS password.
    I m wondering why this password is displayed when starting if you have not set it

    However, the point is that the BIOS password can be removed if you n t know this password.
    Unknown BIOS password can be removed by a Toshiba authorized service partner.

  • Satellite L100 113 starts slowly after upgrade memory

    Hello

    Toshiba Satellite L100 113 PSLA3E-02401JRU starts slowly after upgrade memory with Kingston KTT533D2-512 (512 MB) of memory.
    When I press the 'power' button, it flashes, starts the fans and HARD drive several times. Then it shows BIOS start messages by memory full 768 MB and starts Windows XP without a problem.
    This behavior is noticed only after "shut down."
    It does not happen with "restart".
    What can I do to eliminate this long "attempts" to start my laptop computer?

    Thank you
    Novomir Kovalenko

    Hello

    This problem appears before upgrade memory?
    Have you used exactly the same memory modules?
    If this isn't the case, then perhaps there are a few compatibility issues.

    Usually, after the insertion of the modules you must enter the BIOS and then save the settings. Please it and eventually the laptop will start without any problems.

    Hello

    Maybe your CD/DVD drive becomes faulty... What do you think?

    But before you think to a new disk, you must remove the server - and lowerfilters in the registry. You can follow the workaround from Microsoft:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314060

    Also, make sure that the CD/DVD drive lens is clean. You can use a microfibre cloth to clean. This rag doesn't scratch the lens.
    Check this box!

    Finally and above all, there is no special driver for CD/DVD drive. It s a part of t Windows and can be updated.
