• Satellite A300 PSAJ4E - black startup screen from SATA HDD

  Hello

  I have a problem with my A300: when I try to reboot from the disk sata hard I only see black screen...

  If I try to boot from ide/atapi CD/DVD-RW with XP (F12 to select the cd player) installation cd, Ubuntu live cd, boot any cd that it does not start and I see still black screen. The hard drive is seen correctly by the BIOS, can I read/write data to this topic with an external sata-usb cable and it can also boot from a different usb port on the laptop!

  If the disk sata hard precipitates the A300 can regularly starts without a problem since CD/DVD-RW!

  I also try to put the disk sata hard in the second span, but without result, the 2nd hard drive is inserted into the excluded boot device. Can someone help me?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  > If the disk sata hard precipitates the A300 can regularly start without problem since CD/DVD-RW!

  Have you changed the HARD drive or the CD/DVD drive in the past?
  As far as I know not all CD/DVD drives are compatible due to different settings master/slave/c-selc.
  If using bad CD/DVD player could cause this issue

  In addition, it could also be a problem of the motherboard controller.
  But try to set the BIOS to the default settings. To access the BIOS and then press F9 (I guess). Save changes and check again.

• Satellite A300-1MC: SOLVED - how to reduce the startup time of Vista

  Today, I found a way to reduce my Toshiba A300 1mc of startup time.
  Normally, it should be 3 minutes power button on the desktop.

  I now have it down to 1 minute by uninstalling Tempro version 1.1 and reinstall version 2 of Toshiba downloads.

  but by removing the own software Toshiba did it starts faster than anything...

  one last thing, my laptop is often BSoD after the awakening of fashion 'sleep'... and it restarts automatically so I can't collect a lot of information... but the windows solutions Center says something about the driver ATI... but I have the driver from toshiba Web site, do not know if there is a way to fix this problem as well.

  looking for postponed for your help...

  Thank you...

  I have very good experiences with Satellite A300 and Win7 installation. No problem at all.
  I can see on the download page of Toshiba that your model of laptop is fully supported for Win7 and everything you need to do is install all the stuff of Toshiba in order of good facilities.

  My order of facilities is:
  -Win7 Home Premium (new installation)
  -chipset driver
  -Storage Manager
  -display driver
  -driver sound
  -modem driver
  -utility supervisor
  -infrared
  -patches
  -configfree
  -VAP
  Hardware - toshiba
  Control - HDMI
  -WLAN driver

  Everything works well but lacks some drivers

  Added Vista tips:
  Toshiba - help - working properly
  -Card reader - installed correctly
  -Webcam driver for A500 - tested with Skype - works correctly.
  Driver - Synaptics

  I don't really know what you're doing wrong. Maybe some background process block put into regular service.
  I recommend to try again and make easy step by step following my list and let me know what stage you will be faced with the issue described.

• Satellite A300-276 - nvraid.sys error at startup of Windows

  Good evening

  Recently, I am trying to install Windows 7 in my Satellite A300-276. I actually install but when I want to start it apears a message saying:
  "Unable to start Windows. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix (...) »

  and then, on the same page:
  'File:\Windows\system32\Drivers\nvraid.sys '.
  "Status: 0xc0000098.
  "Info: Windows could not load a critical system driver is missing or corrupt.

  Could someone help me with this?

  Thank you very much.

  Best regards

  André

  Hey,.

  You can start Windows in safe mode?

  In addition it might be interesting what you have installed or changed the software/driver. Perhaps restore the system to an earlier point might be useful.

  By the way: did you use a Microsoft Windows 7 disk?

• Satellite A300 - CEC_MAIN. EXE error at startup

  Hello, I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 network and when I run Windows Vista and the error message is displayed. This error is cec_main.exe.

  I have remove the camera assistant software and restart the computer, restart when Windows the message not to apears. I have install the camera assistant software, and this error again.

  Does anyone have the solution?

  Hello

  The CEC_MAIN. EXE application belongs to the software of the camera, and if you have already tried to reinstall, you should check your firewall and security software.
  I think that your security software is blocking this application in order to check this!

  If it doesn't work remove the software and reboot the laptop. Use CCleaner to clean the system and reboot once again. After that, install the latest software for the Toshiba page.

  Welcome them

• Satellite A300 - black screen on startup

Everything I do is just try to force stop with button / stop if it does not then iam does for one several times.

  Thanks in advance,

  If possible try to connect the external monitor to your laptop and check if you can see something there.
  You know, on this virtual path, it is not easy to say why this happens.
  It may be faulty laptop screen, problems of connections or graphics card failure.

  It is not easy to say why this is happening.

• Satellite A300-1ME - startup takes a lot of time

  Hello!

  I bought a Satellite A300-1ME a week ago and I had a few problems.
  When I arrived home, I picked up the phone and connected to the power adapter and the Vista installation. Then, with the loan of PC, I uninstalled Google Desktop and toolbar Google which for me are useless and is preinstalled.

  Then I rebooted and surprise: after the Windows Orb during the connection, it came to a wait... screen, and he stood here for an hour, so I did a hard reset and the same story, I can t reach the login screen.

  Started on mode without failure all well, done a restoration of the system, reboot and nothing the same problem. Started by using the recovery system in the laptop and tried to make another system of recovery here. He started and when it reached the end this game me an error because he says ' there is zero of the file to restore "or something else. I used the other recovery system which format and reinstall Windows. Once again, on the desktop, I rebooted and the same thing: wait...

  Went to the dealer the day of purchase, and they gave me another. Now, it seems to work well, but the boot time of the Windows Orb on the screen to login, it takes about 1 minute in the best of cases, also uninstalled McAfee Security Suite and nothing.

  So I would like to know if this is normal due to being a laptop, well as my other PC with 8 years and with Vista is faster when connecting (not not to use it). I think it may be because of all the drivers and all that which is preinstalled, but I fear to uninstall Google Desktop on it and my computer being useless new m.

  And put XP inside, what guarantees mean? Will I have lost if I install XP with all the drivers of Toshiba and the SATA driver that I found for this laptop?

  Thank you very much for reading.

  Hello!

  Are already in the forum discussion on this topic. You will find, if you are looking for a little bit.

  You can make Vista faster, if you defragment the HARD disk, remove the software that you don't need, configure the program sartup and disable services.
  Here is a good article on services in Vista:
  http://www.speedyvista.com/services.php

  I m sure the Satellite A300 is faster than your 8 years old PC. ;)

  If you want to install XP, it is no problem. You will not lost the warranty, because you do not modify the materials or disassemble the laptop.
  And Yes, you need SATA drivers. You can download it from the site Web of Toshiba (Intel Storage Manager). Copy the drivers on a floppy disk, or you build your installation disc on with nLite.

  Good bye

• Satellite A300 - 16L - Vista will not repair

  Hello

  I have a toshiba satellite A300 - 16L. And it must recover Vista.

  I tried the solution key 0. But this does not work either.

  You have created DVDs of recovery following advice in the document s user manuals?
  If Yes use this support to reinstall the original Vista recovery image.
  Is preinstalled original Toshiba Vista or your own installation?

  By the way: I have the same machine and I use Win7 32 bit. It works perfectly on the A300.

  So kindly help me

  model - satellite A300 - 247
  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 A300-1GC random freeze

  Hello

  my laptop (Satellite A300-1GC) worked very well for many years. But then last year he startet freeze randomly.

  What I mean with gel: I can't do anything, the mouse and the button are not, nothing on the screen moves (stop animations etc.). The only way to restart the computer is pressing the power on button for a few seconds.

  First of all I thought to a software problem, perhaps caused by an update windows (windows 7 Professional).

  The problem appeared different situations (programming, surfing the web,...), but often directly after starting the computer. Sometimes even in the login screen. I disabled all the startup process automatic antivirus, software, etc., but the problem remains.

  I never had the problem in safe mode (don't know if that's the correct word, in German, it is 'abgesicherter Modus'), but I don't use it very much, as a test.

  Then I installed linux mint on a separate partition. At first glance, it seems that the problem does not occur there. But after a few days: same problem. Random freezes, often after the start, but also at any time thereafter.

  I have not found any information related to the problem in the newspapers, in windows or Linux.

  So now I think it's a hardware problem, as it took place in windows (even at the login screen) and linux.
  I checked the disc with windows chkdisk and memory with memtest86 +. No error was found.

  You have an idea, what could be the reason for the gel? You need more info?

  Thank you very much

  Laptop could start freeze due to a higher internal temperature.
  After a long period of use fans and the vents may be blocked by dust.
  Dust prevents the fan is working properly and therefore the temperature could increase that may affect the functionality of the laptop.

  Try to clean the grates and remove the dust using a jet of compressed air.
  It is perhaps the best way to get rid of dust

  Another reason for this gel could be the memory problem
  It seems that you have already checked the laptop for the problems of RAM running the memtest86 + but even if this tool has said there is no problem of RAM, memory dysfunction might be possible. Of course it's only suggestion

  I think that you don't have a choice but to check each possibility: new installation of the OS, fan cleaning, maybe new HARD drive?

  Everything is possible
