Satellite A300 PSACGA - display distorts and freezes

I have a Satellite A300 PSACGA-02V010 running Vista Ultimate.
The laptop is around the age of 10 months and 12 hours a day for work purposes.

For some reason there is a few days display distorted (pixelated) and froze.
The only way to recover was a difficult start. Restarted the laptop it shows the desktop for about 30 seconds and did a repeat freeze performance. I restarted mode safe and it works very well for days.

I thought there must be something loading at normal startup is causing the problem, so I disabled everything I thought I could do without and restarted in Normal Mode. Once again the office poster for about 30 seconds and then frozen again. I tried to roll using recovery, charging display and BIOS drivers from the Toshiba site but continues to the situation.
In SafeMode it never freezes up

Any suggestions?

Hey great. Happy to know that you have found the solution to this.
Several times on this forum I write that it is not easy to give an answer or suggestion, what can be done. In any case thanks for the comments.

  • Satellite A300 - no power light and won't turn on

    Hello:

    My satellite A300 fell off my office. It has been disconnected.
    A few hours later, I tried to turn it on, but does not work when I plug the ac cable lights that turn on normally.
    Ive opened to check if there is nothing broken, but it seems all good.
    What can I do?

    My battery is dead, so I can't do anything with it.

    on the virtual path that is not easy to say what the problem is here, but if there is no reaction and led DC is not on I assume that there is a problem with the power of electronic power supply on the motherboard.

    Visually, everything can be OK, but some connectors are probably damaged.
    Repair (Exchange motherboard) is quite expensive, so I think you should sell it on eBay and get any other machine.

    Satellite A300's beautiful machine, and you can get another A300 used on eBay for about 100-150 Euros.

    I love my Dell and use media station to watch cable TV while playing games on the internet (pogo.com) sometimes I play solitaire spider OEM.  I think that, especially in the afternoon, my image of the desktop will get pixelated (small hyphens in contrasting colors) gradually fill in top to bottom.  Initially, I thought this might be the steganography, but found no references.  then I noticed that the pixelation in contrasting colors began to appear on the screen of the media station into strips about 6-8 rows of red, green and blue and pulsed in time for audio.  do not have audio video storage but this started to happen when Comcast went digital, so there may be a link?  spoke and troubleshoot-done with the line paid expert who suggested Speedfan as a diagnosis for my GPU graphics processing unit.  When I reboot, everything is fine so it happens with increasing frequency.

  • Satellite A300 - 1 5: keyboard and touchpad not working

    I have problem with keyboard and touchpad. Laptop satellite A300 - 1 5

    I have Vista home premium and when I turn on the computer, I put password in the user box then my keyboard and the touchpad do not work.

    In the Bios my keyboard work but when Vista starts it doesn't have.

    How to solve this problem?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    First of all, please check the status of the device in Device Manager.
    Please check if the keyboard and touchpad are listed correctly without any yellow exclamation point.

    But you should try to reinstall the drivers again, even if the keyboard and the touchpad have been recognized correctly.
    In this case I recommend to remove the keyboard and the touchpad Device Manager, and then you must restart the computer once more.

    After Vista has restarted the two devices should be recognized again and should work.

    Please check this!

  • Satellite L300 - very slow start and freezes

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite L300, who treated me well - but more 2 months ago really slow and freezes quite often. I have anti virus, spybot etc and come up with nothing.

    Last night I tried to reformat the system by pressing 0 did not work so tried with F8 which I would like to make a longer scan but no reformatting. I am now very happy that I failed to do the reformat because I bought windows 7 after the initial purchase of the laptop.

    Any ideas anyone - or any person with same/simular problems?

    Hey,.

    This means that you have installed right now and not preinstalled version of Windows Windows 7?

    Well, in this case HARD drive recovery option is no longer available. You can do it on preinstalled only Windows.

    To format your laptop, you need Toshiba recovery disc.

  • Satellite Pro A300-28R: slow start and freeze on Internet Explorer

    I recently bought a Satellite Pro A300-28R and I'm very disappointed with the performance.
    (1) from the card, it looks like a decent laptop, but with the start time of 3 minutes, 'Please wait' it's probably not impress me considering the fact that I have nothing installed yet...

    (2) I will try to uninstall applications like tempro, but still I am intrigued by the slow response on the internet pages.
    For example when I go on google and start typing something more time, the cursor freezes and I have to wait a few seconds before I'm able to see what I'm typing.
    I only bought it last Friday, and I have not used a lot, but probably a bit disappointing so far.
    Any ideas why the cursor freezes on google or on the toolbar internet explorer?

    FYI, I use Vista Business OS and Internet explore

    any help welcome

    > 1) card, it looks like a decent laptop, but with the start time of 3 minutes, 'please wait' is surely not impress me considering the fact that I have nothing installed yet...

    I'll tell you how to reduce the startup time of your laptop.
    I think you are using Vista and the Tempro should be installed too
    You have two options: either you would update the Tempro or remove the system. Both should help make the Mobile QuickStart.

    (> 2) I'll try to uninstall applications like tempro, but still I am intrigued by the slow response on the internet pages.
    For example when I go on google and start typing something more time, the cursor freezes and I have to wait a few seconds before I'm able to see what I'm typing.
    You should update right Vista in the current state, and should also check if certain unnecessary processes running in the background.
    You can do this by using the msconfig.

    In addition, you should check if your antivirus software does not slow down the system.

    Just a tip; I m using the free software Antivir. It of free and it s really nice, it doesn't have a lot of material resources.

  • Re: Satellite A300 (PSAG4A - 02600M) is always freezing

    I got a laptop A300 to fix and the problem is that the laptop froze when making a virus with Trend Micro antivirus software scan.

    The owner said that the laptop would freeze when it came to some extent and that the bluetooth stack has been involved - I have not seen this happen as they have used repeatedly restore disks and now the trend micro software is not installed on the laptop.
    The laptop still freezes when you try to download updates from windows vista.

    I tested the RAM with Memtest for 10 hours and no error was reported.
    I noticed that when you scan both hard drives to find errors using chkdsk c: drive will freeze 48% in step 5 and d: drive will freeze to 47% in step 5. I found on Google that there are many people with the same problem as running chkdsk under Vista so I don't know if the hard drives are at fault either.
    The system restore worked a while now, and I guess that any malware or virus would be gone when hard disks were lost during the restore process.

    Currently, I run the laptop with 1 hard disk installed, this is drive d: to computers who was a Virgin before.

    Can you offer any suggestions as to why the laptop could be freezing because I think that the hard drives and memory are ok?

    Hello!

    It's really not easy to say what the reason for this, but maybe you are right, and the HARD drive is faulty...
    In your case, I would check the HARD drive by using the test program to the disk as Drive Fitness Test:
    http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT

    I think it s not a software issue because you have already restored factory using Toshiba recovery disc.
    I'm trying the Drive Fitness Test and then see what happens.

    Good luck!

  • Satellite A300 - problem of touchpad and keyboard

    Hello I have a problem.

    The first time I start the computer, the touch pad and the keyboard Don t run, and I need to connect a usb mouse to restart the computer. And in the second time, the keyboard and the touchpad to work correctly.

    I have a Toshiba A300 and I have Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit
    This who could I do to fix this?
    My English is very bad, but I hope you understand me and that you can help me.

    Greetings!

    According to your message, you have to restart the laptop in order to get the keyboard and the touchpad works properly.
    There may be something wrong with the drivers for the keyboard and the touchpad
    As a first idea I would recommend to update the operating system.
    This means that you should check if a new installation of the OS could solve this problem.

    Keyboard driver is part of the Windows OS, so I think this should be verified.

  • Satellite A300-146 - any internet connection freezes

    Hello world

    I have a problem. When I connect to the internet after about 10-20 minutes, I am unable to work with the browser. When I tried to use the ping command, everything was OK. But the browser don't refresh not all web pages, don't open new pages etc. BUT download works OK.

    I tried: the 3G (mobile phone) connection via an Express card, LAN and WLAN connection. Always the same.

    I tried: IE included in my OS, Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera. Always the same.

    Sometimes the connection icon shows that the zone of confidence is available. When I double click the icon and try to find the problem, the problem (after 10 seconds) is fixed by himself, BUT the browser still has these problems (written above). And if I close the browser (I can close regularly) and try to open it again, I can't open it (it is said that it already works, but does not, I can't remove it process).

    Sing the Vista Home premium (preinstalled).
    Any help?
    Thank you!

    Hello

    Do you mean that the internet connection freezes or the internet browser has no answer?

    According to your post, it seems that the browser wouldn't answer.

  • Satellite A300 - too bright screen and lack of contrast

    Is it irritates me immensely

    No matter what I do, there seems to be no way to add contrast and reduce the brightness of the screen on my laptop.
    For example, blacks show that blacks... just slight shades of gray

    I am a photographer, I like my photos and display to be precise for the colors I see in real life, so I can change them accordingly. but rather... the screen seems just washed out, more exposed, and it hurts me ' eyes!

    I tried to adjust the contrast and brightness manually by going to graphic properties, but even with the settings below, the remains of the screen bright and washed out.

    is there something I can do?
    any help would be greatly appreciated.

    That's the problem with the LCD screen. Due to the lighting, it is difficult to block all of the light using liquid crystals.

    OLED plasma and CRT screens do not have this problem. So if you want the best possible image contrast, you may buy one of these types of monitor and use it via the VGA port.

  • Satellite A300D-17F is slow and freezes

    I am new user to this page, but I bought my laptop 5 months ago. A300D 17F. And since then, it is not productive. I would like to say something;

    1. Although I deleted the program Toshiba tempro and other unnecessary programs, that it is opening about 1.5 minutes and also I closed the substantive prg.
    2. the biggest problem is that Windows Explorer is so slow. it freezes when I want to search for some files.
    3. when I surf on a site like youtube video, if I move the mouse anywhere on the screen, it is cold again
    4. why the 4 GB of RAM works so slow?
    5. do I have a hardware problem? Because I had done recovery for some time!
    6. while other laptops have poor performance make a little game, mine is not.

    I am so angry for another problem. How can I connect to the online of the Toshiba support because I don't yet?

    I am grateful for the moment. PLEASE HELP THE MASTERS

    You have this problem only if you remove Toshiba TEMPRO and other applications or directly after recovery too?

    It's not easy to tell if it s a hardware or software problem, but you can check your drive HARD and RAM using Drive Fitness Test and Memtest86 (Google is your friend).

    Sorry, but at the moment I can t say more and I think that the reason is the reason why you remove some programs that they are in factory settings include.
