Satellite A300-247, turn off A few minutes later, I play games

Hello to all the forum members

A year ago, I bought a laptop model Satellite A300-247-Part Number: PSAGCE-0CQ00CG3
Whenever I would play him in games and everything was fine. Lately I play a few minutes the computer turn off only in the games, anyone know what could be the problem?
Could be accumulated on the video card in dust?

Thanks everybody hope I've explained the problem properly!

Everything is possible.
When you play these games is the laptop sitting on the desk?
Don't forget the fan inside is not blocked somehow.

  • Satellite A300-247 - always off model Logo

    Hello

    have a problem I bought the computer, Toshiba Satellite A300-247.

    The Satellite logo was always in Ohcshio fire off or how it would always be a crush

    Hello!

    To be honest I n don't know what you mean exactly. Do you mean the logo of the lighting of the keyboard?

    As far as I know the ignition of the laptop (multimedia keys, etc.) controls the added value the package so I think that you should reinstall this tool. You can find it on the Toshiba site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    Before installing the latest version, you must remove the older version first, and then restart the laptop. Now, you can install the new VAP.

    Furthermore, have you installed Windows updates? I had a problem with illumination after that I installed updates to Windows.

  • Satellite A300-1GC - turn off when I play games

    Hello

    I try to explain my problem (I'll try because English isn't my motherlanguage wull so hards to ensure that you understand me Hi!).
    Usually I use my Satellite A300-1GC also for two or three days (I watch divx on tv and other small applications, but nothing special) and never happened to me that yesterday was happing!

    I installed a game (Jekyll & Hyde) and I played it with the pc cable hook up to electricity. After a while (I think only an hour) the computer turns off! After that was not possibel to turn it on nothing! No light was on the same battery icon nothing complitely dead! After about 10 minutes instead of the icons light was on and so I was able to restart the computer. Windows XP doesn't give me any error on the "blackout" reports the system. I restarted the game and play with him for about two hours without any problem! If you have something (hihihihi) understud my question is:

    Whay you do that I can do so that this accident will not happen more? Is there some test or newspaper or something similar I can read to see if there is any hardware/software problems? May need a BIOS update? I mean, is there anyone who have the same laptop and have similar experience and sort it out with an update?
    On short time I'm planing to install windows 7 (two DVDs I received from Toshiba) but first I must address this problem.

    I thank the of in advance for help
    Helen

    PS: Once again at 11:36 the laptop shut down whenm I played :(

    Hi Helen_1,

    Usually, if the laptop shuts down during a game, it s caused by a higher internal temperature to protect the equipment.

    I put t know how long you already have Satellite A300, but usually the laptop must be cleaned every 3 months using a jet of compressed air. You will find here in the forum how an article on this subject:
    [How to clean a Toshiba laptop cooling system? | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=40]

    Also make sure that this new Toshiba Web site display driver is installed.

  • Satellite A300 spontaneously turned off

    Hi people.

    Hoping someone can confirm what I am already assuming that or possibly help me with something that I have not yet tried.
    My daughters a300 is off spontaneously without reason apparent. Sometimes less than a minute or so but above all a few seconds now.

    Weeks began by cutting only of now & again but it has far more common constantly where it stops almost immediately in most cases. Sometimes I can go as far as the Windows logon or a live cd/usb charge but 9 times out 10 now it is turned off during, before or after the post.
    Before this stop so quickly these days that I assumed it was a Windows problem, but this is obviously not the case, I know now.

    I had the machine open and cleaned that little dust he was. All fans work fine and I have aleardy swapped virtually all bars of the motherboard & CPU.
    I tried to boot from the live Linux CD & USB without any connected main player and I also tried without the battery connected and I ran memtest on his memory in another corresponding A300, we have in addition to control his drive to find errors etc. They are all very good.

    Don't really want to spend more than £100 for a new Board of Directors, if if there's a chance again, he might still be something else that I neglected to try.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Usually the laptop automatically stops due to a higher temperature.
    If the temperature rises to a critical level, the laptop stops to prevent material damage.
    This usually happens because that the cooling fans don't properly twist because of the dust.

    But it seems that you have already cleaned the cooling modules and fans, so in this case the higher temperature may not be the problem. So it seems that there could be other reasons for this

    Unfortunately, for me it s is not possible to say what role could be affected in the worst case, it could be a motherboard problem, but it could also be a RAM problem.

    Control programs memory are ok, but the RAM modules could still work even if the memory test would detect all problems. So it of certainly worth it to use a new RAM.

  • Satellite C650 USB - Ports off a few minutes after the start of every day

    When I start my C650 Satellite for the first time every day the USB ports work perfectly, then after a few minutes, that you hear the-, they stop working and features of disappear of display devices & Printers.

    Reboot during the day makes no difference but the next day to the first commissioning of the USB ports working again. I think that every day they work a little longer, but I have not yet proved.

    Anyone got any ideas?

    You already posted in this thread.
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums//thread.jspa?threadID=73552

    Therefore, it would be interesting to know how USB ports work after that USB controllers was removed and installed again. The comments appreciated.

    In addition, you can disable the option that allows to disable USB ports in order to save power. This can be done in-USB Controllers-> properties > Device Manager - > last tab (power management)

  • Re: satellite A300 screen turns off after the toshiba logo, will not boot from the CD/DVD

    Hello, I have this problem with Toshiba satellite A300.

    I deleted several files and folders of my drives C and E. To restart the computer, it only shows the Toshiba logo then a slightly gray white screen on a thorough inspection. Whenever I press CRL + ALT + DELETE, the computer restarts and behaves in the same way.

    I tried to use an external monitor, but there is no difference. The tent to start using a CD/DVD, same behaviour occurs, it does not start and screen remains blank after the Toshiba logo, I tried even to change g the order of boot, but in vain.

    What could happen?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    It seems that you deleted system files and Windows no longer starts. Have you tried to restore the disk image factory settings or hard drive recovery? Or do copy the Windows installation... It is easier to reinstall rather fix the problem.

  • Satellite A60-122 turns off immediately

    Hi there, my 2.5 year satellite SA60-122 turns off no aparent reason.
    Sometimes after 10 minutes and sometimes after 3 hours.

    Why o why?

    Does anyone have an idea?

    Thnx a lot.

    Edwin

    Hello

    you are somewhat familiar with computers? If not, I suggest you bring your machine to a local service partner (http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_gaspLocator.jsp?subs=tais)
    If Yes, then firstly make a few hardwaretests. You can make them with tools like "Memtest86" for memory or "Prime95" for CPU and RAM.
    This software is on a windows live cd for computer-maintenance as the UBCD4Win (Ultimate Boot CD for Windows) which contains a lot of useful tools and diagnostic programs.
    Here´s a link:
    www.UBCD4Win.com

    Other means can be:
    Clean the CPU fan, try to remove the RAM (maybe), maybe the power adapter is defective or maybe the battery.
    It s a little more difficult to find these things, but often it s really good to use this live-cd-system and check the system.

    So, try it (or not :)) and give some information about what happened, maybe to give more detailed information about the behavior of the machine.)

    OS-windows 7 64 bit

    Hello

    You are able to access the Menu of system repair?
    While applying power to the unit and the system starts, press the F8 key.
    Now you should get an Advanced Menu, including an additional option to start the laptop.
    I recommend you check the first option called repair your computer

    Now you should get another window with a few options. Click on the first option called Startup Repair and check if it could help you to fix the system.

    In the case where this wouldn't you help, you should check if new OS install would resolve the startup problem. But if the new operating system installation is not possible, you should start to check the hardware parts.
    In the first case, it should be the HARD drive and the laptop must be verified with another new, tested good HDD.

  • Satellite 2430-S255 turns off during playback of video clips

    My laptop Toshiba Satellite 2430-s255 turns off 5 minutes every time I play streaming video clips to web sites using Windows Media Player version 10.0. I have uninstall the version 10 and used version 9, but there is no difference. Computer has 512 meg of memory and 10 GB of additional space on the hard drive.

    There is no problem when I play DVD using the same software.

    Toshiba support has been telling me that cpu is working hard and it heats up because of this problem. I used the fan to circulate the air, but the computer still shuts off.

    Can help.

    Christiane

    HI Fanny,.

    Any graphic activity will tend to make your laptop run more hot and therefore sufficient cooling.

    Make sure that your airway through the CPU radiator is not clogged with dust and debris (a lot of discussions in this forum about this) and also ensure that there is sufficient air under your laptop knife get in the fan air vents.

    Hello!

    To be honest it's a little hard to understand your question.

    What exactly is your problem? I think you want to register on the site to upgrade to Windows 7.
    I n t have experience with this because I didn t buy such a phone compatible update yet, but I think that you need the serial number and the model number of the laptop. The two pieces of information you can find on the underside of the laptop.

    Don t forget that this upgrade option is available for laptop purchased from June 26, 2009 to January 31, 2010.

  • Satellite A300-247 cannot find the folder of HARD disk recovery

    Hello
    I tried to reinstall my Vista home premium on my Satellite A300-247. I have buit - in the OS. I did it axactly according to manual (reboot - F8 - repair your computer-...) When I clicked on Toshiba HDD recovery system recovery tools wrote me this:

    "the recovery of the operating system is impossible
    File recovery HARD drive on the second disc of the first hard drive not found.
    There is no environment recovery valid HARD drive on this computer. "

    I would like to ask what do I do reistall my OS. I have no disk with OS and backup disc creation tool does not work.
    Y at - it an option to get my OS on DVD from Microsoft or Toshiba?
    If I use this tool to reinstall the OS, I will loss all the information on the D drive (Vista is on the C drive)

    Thanks for the reply

    Hello

    Seems that drive HARD recovery does not work.
    Perhaps something has changed on the recovery of HARD drive partition or recovery files has been deleted

    Usually it s always advisable to create a recovery disk in a first time. This should be done at the beginning and this recovery disk is always useful if something would go wrong with drive recovery HARD or with HARD drive

    Now, you can't get the phone because you don t have this drive and the HARD drive does not work

    What to do?
    Well, I think that you would need new control disc.
    You can do so here:

  • My Satellite L555-L11 turns off suddenly very

    Hello
    My satellite L555 L11 turns off very suddenly. It seems that it s because of the heat, as when it arrives, I put my hand under the laptop and feel a too high temperature.
    my laptop is 5 years
    What should I do?
    thx for you answer

    I think your laptop is quite full of dust and I can imagine that cooling rack is blocked so that your laptop is unable to catch his breath.

    Believe me, that cleaning can help. Best thing you can do is professional cleaning. In this case the laptop must be disassembled. Otherwise, you can buy compressed air and try to clean it.
