• Re: Satellite A300 - Windows Vista cling - what can I do?

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A300 with operating system Windows Vista Home Edition.
  After a few weeks of work with my laptop, it cling.
  I reinstalled the OS but and it works fine for 1 or two months, then the laptop to hang again.
  October 2008, I bought this laptop and I reinstalled Vista 3 o 4 times.

  What can I do?

  You mean that Vista does not answer after some time?
  Well my friend, this may be a software problem.

  I mean there is no quick fix for these issues, I assume that you have installed and used many different applications on this laptop.
  It is possible that one of the applications is causing this problem
  It would be also possible that entries in registry and system files have been changed during Microsoft updates

  In my opinion, you must use some cleaning as for example the CCLeaner tools.
  It s free and it cleans your registry and other files

  You should also check the applications that are running while the system would begin to cling
  Finally and above all I recommend you memory, you can run a memory test (www.memtest.org, www.memtest86.com) in order to find some problems of memory.

  Good luck

  Dear users of the forum,

  I have 1 Satellite A300 laptop computer with vista.

  It is not easy to offer a diagnosis based on your story.

• Satellite A300 windows on the grid does not

  Hello.

  I have a Satellite A300 only recently begun to close without warning. I first thought this may be a virus problem, but after the execution of various virus programs I excluded it as likely a cause. Thinking that the problem can be caused by a recently installed program, I did a restore of the system without result. The problem got worse for a few weeks, and after a lot of tests and trials, I now have the following problem:. The laptop runs without problem on the farm, but if I plug my adapter, it stops a few seconds. It will run on the network in SafeMode for hours, but if I try to start it with hands attached, it will go beyond the start of Toshiba for the "bars" screen and then stop. The battery is charged, but only when the laptop is turned off.

  I have already spend a lop of time on it and have tried different adapters to exclude the possibility that it may be defective. I also disassembled the unit and clean the fans, etc.

  After reading some suggestions on different forums, I'm now trying to upgrade the bios (there is one available for this model), but have now run into a brick wall. I continue to receive various error messages when I try to update the bios. 1 insyde flash can't load the driver... He told me to run as administrator (I am), and the suggestion that it is for me, it's that I can't upgrade the Bios on battery... BUT that's all that I can run. The only time that it is running on the electric network is in safe mode, and then it won't let me upgrade the Bios. Help Help Help. The laptop is about to become landfill. The only thing I haven't done is reset to the factory setting. Suggestions for my bios problem please...

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  In my opinion the update of the BIOS would not help you to solve this power off of the issue.
  Even if the BIOS is not updated, the laptop must turn off not with the AC adapter.

  To be honest, I think the problem might have something to do with the motherboard.

  Usually laptops would be shut down automatically due to a higher temperature, but in your case, I doubt its problem of temperature from the laptop stops immediately start the operating system.

  Back to BIOS update issue:
  As far as I know, the adapter must be connected in order to update the BIOS. In SafeMode it s not possible to update the BIOS.

  I not quite sure if faulty RAM could bring this maybe not RAM problem, but of course, you can try to start the device using a module of RAM only Mr. you test the two Rams in each slot.

  However, if anything would help him, the technician should run some diagnostics to determine the cause.

• Satellite A300 - Windows Vista restarts on shutdown

  I just have to drive HARD on Satellite A300, Vista recovery and it gives me problems when I try to close it, it just restarts. It doesn't matter if it is on battery or plugged in. I have the point on the BIOS, did you install in power options, but still the same problem. I have the card WiFi and non-functional network, if anyone thinks that maybe that's the problem. All entries are welcome.
  Thank you

  Hi dadtheman,

  Did you check if all devices are properly installed in Device Manager? Check for exclamation marks Device Manager yellow and if there are some unknown devices.

  Also try to disable wake up on LAN and keyboard as Akuma has suggested.

• Satellite A300 - Windows 7 does not recognize external devices

  Windows 7 (32-bit) an upgrade of Vista and couldn't be more peripheral to work due to driver problems. Talked to Microsoft and they found that my drivers are still there but can not find them unless I tell them where to look, and so all devices I plug I need to install drivers for both times.

  Any body have ideas how to solve this problem?

  Hi doug47,

  To be honest, I think I can t help you because I know you want to know exactly.

  External devices, you mean? Not everything you need drivers, like external hard drives, USB sticks, etc. These discs will be recognized automatically (plug & play) and they are read to use after connecting.

  If you mean printer or mobile phones you have need of additional drivers. You can get it from the manufacture.

• Satellite A300-211 - ACPI overheating

  Hello

  Recently my laptop overheating to frequently. I had this problem before and I bought the cooling package and everything was fine. But now, despite the external cooling device he stil stops. I run SpeedFan to see what is causing this problem. Two hearts runs at an acceptable temperature. But there is that this thing called ACPI - Temp1. Exactly what is it? I used compressed air to clean fan and what I was able to clean with keyboard just disassembled.

  I do complete the cleaning? And last question. Is this fan the only source of cooling in my netbook
  I mean it's the only thing I should replace if cleaning does not work?

  Friend of mine has a similar problem with Satellite A300. Problem was overheating and suddenly switch offs. I disassembled the laptop and cleaned the area of cooling fan and cooling rack. It was full of dust and cooling rack was blocked by dust.

  After cleaning laptop was able to catch his breath and he has worked quietly and without compromise.
  I imagine that your laptop is also full of dust and must be cleaned but not using compressed air. Believe me, it must be disassembled cleaned in professional way.

  I must also say that the disassembly can be dangerous if you do it yourself. Something may be damaged so maybe you shouldn't do it yourself. Try to find someone who can do it for you.
  Accredited maintainer can do for you also but I can't say how much it costs. Contact and ask how it works.

• Satellite A300-20V - not all drivers Windows 7 published?

  There are some drivers Windows Vista HW unpublished for Windows 7?

  This means that missing drivers are combined with other drivers...?
  OR
  It would be published later...?
  OR
  Drivers of HW can I vista can be used also for windows 7... ?

  Hello

  Satellite A300-20V belongs to the PSAGCE series and so already a lot of drivers for Windows 7 is released and also for 32-bit and 64-bit.

  What drivers need you exactly?

  And Yes, you can use the Vista on Windows 7 drivers. Many of them also work.
  On my Satellite A300 Windows 7 works really well. I got all the drivers for it and it works better then Vista in my opinion.

• Satellite A300 - guard wireless is disconnected!

  Hello

  I use a Toshiba Satellite A300 windows vista.
  Internet worked fine for 2 months until I keep get disconnected after 10 minutes since last week.
  It has now become very annoying...

  I tried everything I could. If you can help me in anyway it would be much appreciated...

  Other pc and laptop computers work properly at home so this means that there is nothing wrong with the router. I have not installed anything (e.g. Skype) which would cause this... I don't know how it happened all of a sudden? It was working perfectly before.
  I've updated the drivers and all...

  I think to take it to a store, but I don't know if even they could repair?
  I've seen other people with the same problem similar model face.

  Any solution?

  Please help me im really looking forward to y. Thanks in advance.

  OK buddy, you said you have updated the drivers and all that you have updated exactly?
  Normally if you have some problems with your WIFI connection it of only necessary to update the BIOS and the driver WLAN. Did you do that?

  In addition, you must disable WLAN energy saving function Windows power options. This Toshiba document can help you to:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD84026Q0000R01.htm

  Did you check if the laptop and the router uses the same standard WLAN? For example, the G project? The two devices must use the same to verify this!

  Incidentally, you launch the factory settings or you have installed your own version of Windows? In the worst cases, you should try to restore the factory using Toshiba Recovery disk settings. It is recommended to determine if it s a hardware or software problem.

  Now I m of ideas but I hope I could help you! :)

  Please post comments.

• Cannot start the Toshiba Satellite A300 in normal mode or safe mode.

  Original title: Normal and safe mode start two taped please wait

  Hi my problems started last night when I tried to open my laptop (Toshiba Satellite A300 Windows Vista)

  In normal mode starts near the top of the screen loads fine up please wait...
  I left on until this morning that then the screen turned black and nothing was clickable.
  I can't boot mode safe either, as it happens the same thing.
  Sometimes when I try and start it tells me that the C drive has something wrong with it and what are the fixing.
  A warning saying that this file is corrupted and unreadable left me with a scintillating display that fluctuated between black and the background of vista.
  I managed to log on once while my office quickly froze and I had to close my laptop.

  Startup Repair cannot detect all problems. I restore Windows to an earlier date with the system restore but that did nothing to help and when I tried to restore the system to an earlier date of even the sign of a catastrophic failure rises.

  I'm really ideas outside the restoration of factory settings.
  Someone please help.
  Thank you

  Hello

  
  Have you tried another recovery option?
   
  
  I suggest you to press the F8 key as the computer starts up to the top and check the option in the advanced boot menu.
   
  
  Advanced, including safe mode startup options
   
  
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode-1
   
  
  If you are able to open the advanced boot menu then you can execute the menu command prompt and type the command and check.
   
  
  Type CHKDSK c:/r or
  
  Type CHKDSK c:/f
   
  
  Important: even if running chkdsk on the drive if any bad sectors are found, chkdsk attempts to repair this sector and if all data on this sector it could get lost.
   
  
  If you are not able to perform the steps then you may need to get the Vista installation DVD. You can contact the manufacturer for more details.

• Satellite A300 DVD tray will not open and cause high CPU utilization peaks

  Hello

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A300 - 1 MM and I have a problem with the optical drive (Mat * un DVD Ram Uj880as):

  DVD - RAM plateau sometimes refuse to open. The LED lights up briefly, but still nothing. Windows recognize the drive but the plateau of refuses to open. Eject commands the position of work and management of the computer-> disk management will not work. I can open the tray manually but the optical drive will not read any cd/dvd. No error code in return.

  When that happens it cause peaks of high utilization of the processor (from 60 to 100%) in the System Idle Process. Just stop and restart it solve. After that, the laptop also runs fine and the optical drive.

  I replaced Win7 32-bit with a 64-bit version and the problem persist.

  Help, please. Thank you.

  I have the same machine with Win7 32 bit and use several players. Everything works perfectly. On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what may be the problem. The configuration of your laptop is not known to us, and we don t know how you set up your operating system and additional applications are preinstalled.

  Maybe stupid advice now, but you must install recovery image original Vista that you got with the functionality of your laptop and test with the factory settings. If the same problem occurs we can chat about it.

• 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 (...) »

  "Info: Windows could not load a critical system driver is missing or corrupt.

  Could someone help me with this?

  Thank you very much.

  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 keeps overheating

  I bought my Satellite A300-09Y year last at the same time as 2 friends
  and we seem to all be confronted with the same problems
  I use my laptop for games, I rarely even use it for video clips.
  It's mostly just for study purposes, but for some reason any
  He just guard overheated and the circuit breaker is triggered every 20 minutes if I don't raise
  If I raise, it will last up to 35 minutes.
  I am very worried because once I left it on a plastic table mat and he ended up reshaping of the carpet
  which is used to protect the table of bins in a hot oven.

  How can I solve this problem?

  I have Satellite A300-1LI almost 2 years now and use it everyday for my job.
  It is pre-installed with Windows XP Home edition and Win7 (dual boot) and so far I didn't notice this problem.

  If you use it for daily work, I recommend to use the balanced power plan, turn off all unnecessary background processes and make sure that the laptop is placed correctly on the table. Ventilation cooling down must be free and your laptop should be able to take a breath.

  Make sure that the cooling on the bottom grid is free. You can also try to place the back side on two books or CD boxes to make the distance between the office and the bottom side of your laptop a little higher.

  What you can also do is to clean the cooling rack. After a year of use I can imagine the dust inside and she can also mobile blocks cooling process.
