• Question of graphics 3D Satellite A300-23d

  I bought a Satellite A300-23d about 4 weeks ago. I use my laptop for graphics and the game. I used it with no problems at all during the first 2 weeks. But later, during the game Anno 1404 suddenly some scattered polygons and textures purpleish appeared. I thought it is the result of the game. But I started to see these artifacts in all games. Now, I can't yet play 3D games on my pc. After you start a game, I see a yellow-red-purple checkered kind on my screen and polygons get spiky.

  It looks like a hardware malfunction. Because I tried the update of drivers and hard drive recovery. It is getting worse day after day. Windows works perfectly fine (except that I got approximately 4 BSOD) but I can't play 3D games! What can I do? The only solution I think it gives for repair. I get the objects even when you play with powerplay (underclocked). It is not a heat problem. And if you ask, I'm not overclocking my laptop. With the help of stock parameters.

  Hello

  BSOD is a sign of hardware or software problem and eventually it s related to the GPU question
  If the new OS didn't install help, I'd recommend contacting the guys of ASP.

  Good luck

  Thanks for your time,

  Hi Tom,

  I searched a bit using Google and I founded a few interesting articles on this BSOD code 0 x 00008086.

  It seems that the only solution for this problem is Toshiba Recovery disk now. I mean normally repair option would also be my first choice, but if you get a blue screen too, you don t have other options now.

  Then enter the Toshiba Recovery disk and boot of it. It can restore factory in a few minutes. Don t forget your whole HARD drive will be erased.

  Good luck! :)

• Satellite A300-23d needs too long to start

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite A300-23d.
  The problem is that it takes too much time on the login screen 'Please wait '.

  I did try the recovery since the DVD and start the system, but still have the same problem, and diagnose the startup has not detected any problem.

  Can someone please?

  Hello

  I think I could help you
  I had the same problem with my laptop. The start-up procedure is too long (about 3 min).
  I have updated the Tempro software and disabled some background processes in the MSCONFIG Startup tab.

  This has helped to decrease the boot time of one min.
  I think it's very good improvement.

• Satellite A300-211 - can I use creator of recovery disk to create other discs?

  My laptop is Satellite A300-211

  My question is can I use the Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator program to burn CDs and DVDs next to the Windows image?

  Hi mate,

  The Toshiba recovery disc creator can create the Toshiba Recovery disk and that s all!

  If you want to burn the other CD or DVD, you can use other software such as Nero or CD Burner XP. The last one is a free and really nice. It has many functions and is very low. Check it!

• Re: Satellite A300 - how can I make the webcam work on Win7

  Hello everyone.

  I had Win Vista installed on this Satellite A300 and it worked well.
  I had no problem at all.

  Then I moved to Win7 and now I'm going through the test of the work of webcam.
  I tried to install all types of drivers, even those for A500, but it would be of no use.

  So, how can I make the webcam work on my A300?

  I've tried everything, even the installation of Ubuntu on this laptop and still it wouldn't work. If this is your interest, I'm under Win7 in Spanish, x 32, Home Edition.

  I really need your help here, please, I beg you, I spent 5 days ago almost try ANYTHING!
  And yet, I get the message after each installation/reboot of the: "the camara web esta disabled o ha Fall.» "Por favor, it check las web camara su configs", which would result in something like "the webcam is disabled or it has failed. Please check the configuration of your webcam. I've been browsing the forum for related issues, but I have not found any solution :(

  Thanks in advance,

  Ozma.

  Hello

  Seems the webcam software has not been installed correctly.

  If yes then you must press the F8 laptop computer powered on.

  Once again;
  Press F8, choose repair my computer, choose Toshiba recovery of new open window and follow the instructions on the screen.

  After this procedure, you will get the laptop as on the first day of purchase!

• Satellite A300-17 - can I go with SSD?

  Can I put a SSD for my computer and size is available?

  Hello

  Yes, you can also install an SSD HARD drive instead this should be no problem because the laptop support already SATA interface. So you need a 2.5 SSD that will adapt to your computer.

  The exchange of HARD drive is described here:

  I tried to find it here:

  There are a lot of drivers, but none for SATA.
  and here: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/

  Thank you in advance for your help!

  Hello!

  The SATA drivers are in the Intel Storage Manager, so you need to download this package.
  You can find it on the Toshiba site and on the Intel Web site.

• Satellite A300 - I can't find the recovery disk creator

  Hello world!

  Need help with my Satellite A300. I lost the recovery disc optical I burned when the laptop was new. Now when I try to burn a new disc of recovery can't get the Recovery Disc Creator - not on the desktop or in the Start meny. I still have the folder with all the left recovery files - a folder named HDDRecovery with 4.5 GB size. The problem is to know how to burn the disc.

  Can anyone help?

  iMate, Sweden

  Hello!

  You have reinstalled the laptop with your own version of Windows?

  The problem is that the recovery disc creator can t be downloaded. So I think you use HARD drive recovery function to restore the factory settings. After that, it is perhaps possible to burn the disc of recovery again.

  Good bye

• Re: Satellite A300 - where to find the drivers for Windows 7 x 64?

  Hello.

  Where can I find drivers for Windows 7 x 64 for my laptop?

  I know that most of the Vista drivers are compatible with Win 7, but there are no drivers Vista x 64 too.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I checked the Web from Toshiba site and there are many models of Satellite A300 which A300 model you have exactly?

  Some models are supported 64-bit Windows, then maybe you should choose an another A300 models because they are similar, in my opinion. So try it and post your result. The Vista drivers are working on Windows 7.

• Re: Satellite A300 - how can I choose stand in power saving mode?

  In older versions of the power management utility, I could choose Stand by mode when the laptop lid is closed. But in the new versions of Power Saver is available only Hibernate mode. I don't need the Stand By mode. How can I solve this problem?

  My old laptop A75-S206, Windows XP, power management utility version 1.23.2.5
  The new laptop A300-1 OC, Windows XP, Power Saver worm 7.04.02.I

  Thank you

  On my Satellite L300 with Power Saver too I choose stand by mode if I close the lid. So, you should try to update the Power Saver software.
