Satellite A300D-17F - HDD is the reason for the slow-running?

Hello

For long time I wrote the problem of my computer that is on the performance and today that I realized its hard drive is ATA. You have an idea the reason for the slow performance is?
Satellite A300D 17F

By the way who advised thanks me avira antivirus, perfect :)

Hello

I put t know if the HARD drive is the reason for the slow performance. The Satellite A300D is normally very good laptop and quite fast for all applications.

Have you tried to reinstall Windows using the Toshiba Recovery disk? Maybe the performance issue is software partners and so a reinstall of Windows would be very useful.

Check it!

  • Satellite A300D-17F - where to find the drivers for Windows 7?

    Hello all brothers!

    My question is do not find drivers for Windows 7 and the Satellite A300D-17F.

    Yes it's my notbook, but there are no drivers for it on the download page. Do you know why, or what can I do?

    Thank you

    Hello

    I checked the Toshiba page and your model belongs to the PSAKCE series. So the Toshiba site doesn t show Windows 7 drivers for the moment. Maybe they will be soon released because each day more and more drivers for Windows 7 will be available.

    If you want you can try the drivers for a different model A300D. They may work because I don't see a big difference there.

  • Can I play games like the SIMS 3 and oblivion on Satellite A300D-17F?

    Hey,.

    I will soon buy the laptop Satellite A300D-17F, which has an AMD turion ultra 2.2 ghz, 4 GB RAM, ATI hd 3650, drive HARD 320 5400 rps... etc...
    I was wondering if I could play games on it, but not crysis and far cry 2. I like games like Oblivion and sims...
    I'm going to play these games without any problem and especially the sims 3 and oblivion... ??

    Thank you!!!

    Hello!

    Well for Oblivion, you need at least a processor at 3 GHz, 1 GB of RAM and a graphics card Radeon X 800 for details.
    So I think that there should be no problem to play oblivion on medium-high quality, may be high is also possible.
    Furthermore, I played The Elder Scrolls III (Morrowind), the game before and I liked it, it s a very nice RPG. :)

    I was wondering if you wrote about the SIMS 3 it of not released yet so system requirements are not known to me.
    But I think that it should also work on your laptop at least of low quality.

    I have the Satellite A300D 17F.

    Please help me (I already delete programs which are not necessary the Toshiba) why why why is my laptop so slow?

    You understand that none of us does not see what is the exact configuration for laptop, but this slow performance may have several reasons.
    Who knows what kind of application you have installed on this laptop?
    Who knows what processes are running in the background?
    If you install all the updates from Microsoft that it can slow down your computer quickly.

  • Satellite A300D-17F - need to Vista 64-bit drivers

    Hi guys, I just bought the Toshiba Satellite A300D-17F.

    I discovered with great sadness that I a 32 bit OS and 4 GB of RAM installed

    I would like to install Vista 64 but with even more of sadness, I discovered that I could not find the drivers for my laptop to Vista 64-bit
    0_0

    Processor: AMD Turion 64 X 2 Dual-Core
    64-bit and a 32 bit operating system installed and no driver for Vista 64

    Can someone help me please

    The only way is to search on websites external to pilot because Toshiba does not Vista drivers 64 bit for your laptop model.

    Here are some sites where you can search for it:
    http://ATI.AMD.com
    http://www.Realtek.com
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/Bluetooth/
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

    And don t forget to upgrade the BIOS to the version that is compatible with a 64-bit Windows OS. You can find it on the Toshiba site.
    Your model belongs to the PSAKCE series.

  • Satellite A300D - where to find the audio drivers?

    Hey, I'm looking for Dolby audio drivers for my computer (Satellite A300D) to run on Windows XP. Model number is PSAH8A-01K00H.

    Any help on where I can find the audio driver for this model would be appreciated, because I just bought this computer last year.

    Thank you, Louie

    Hi mate

    I think you're a bit confused

    First a Dolby audio driver is not known to me and I doubt something like that exist and is available

    You can find and install a sound driver!

    As far as I know the Satellite A300D PSAH8A 01K00H supports the Realtek audio chip and you can download the latest audio driver Realtek directly from Realtek page.
    www.Realtek.com.tw

    You will need to search for driver Realtek HD Audio.

    Satellite A300D - 14 p Windows Vista OTB for Windows XP?
    Is it possible to install Windows XP on the satellite with no complications (bad drivers and other things). I hate Vista!
    I heard that some laptops require modding some files .ini to install Xp on vista.

    If you want to install Win XP on this laptop and want to use this OS instead of vista, then you should check out some threads here in the forum.

    There are several discussions on the installation of Win XP.

    Just a comment:
    The Satellite A300D - 14 p belongs to the series of PSAK8E and all the XP drivers are on the European driver Toshiba page.

    Theoretically, you can pass the GPU if it is not integrated. However, Toshiba does not approve the Cpu/gpu upgrade:

    Anyway, if you decide to update, contact center service before and ask them about Gpu compatibility.

  • Satellite A300d-17f not fast enough?

    Don t you think Satellite A300d-17f series are not quickly even if high memory, high processor?
    Mine is not fast that other machines that have low properties!
    I put t understand what kind of problem a± do! Thank you masters

    What do you mean by not fast?
    Fact the laptop start slowly or what?

    I think that you should not compare the speed of different specifications if the same software, the same operating system and the same applications were not installed.

    If Notepad starts slowly, then go to the msconfig-> Startup tab and disable some processes is not necessary.
    The background process may significantly slow down the books the boot process.

    There is a big problem with my A300D-17Z.

The ATI Catalyst control cannot install and ATI driver file is empty. Shows Device Manager still there are two graphics card with «!» I tried so many ways. Install framework 3.5, pilot of the AMD 7 series, last version of the ATI driver, driver of the same other computer brand who says that worked.

    Please help me, I had been tormented for nearly 48 hours. PLEASE, I BEG YOU!

    Hello!

    Have you tried to install the driver to display on the Toshiba site? You can find it here:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    Before you try to install a new display driver, you must remove any old version in Add/Remove programs. Then, restart the laptop and use CCleaner to clean the system. Restart again and then install the new version.

    You have the same problem with the factory settings? In the worst case, you must reinstall Windows using Toshiba recovery disc.

  • Satellite A300D - Turn off all the time

    My wife has a Satellite A300D (model PSAK4E) and it keeps closing. The two randomy and when induced under certain conditions

    Previously, I tested the HARD drive and found bad sectors then replaced with a 64 GB SSD. I tried to install Windows 7 but it kept fault towards the end. So I reset the machine without a battery and now the power button for 2 minutes to clear the memory. Installed Windows 7 + updates.

    I was worried about stopping all the time but flashed the BIOS. Flash worked.

    Laptop resets always? I have reviewed several possible causes and wanted to get other peoples ideas
    1 HARD drive - replaced and even resets
    2. battery - ran on power sector only and even resets
    3 overheating - sometimes under certain conditions (memmory tests or you try to run certain applications) or randomly (without reason)
    4. a broken circuit somewhere on the motherboard
    5 - completely new OS + software resets the laptop when using some applications from a live disk.

    Thank you inadance for the help

    Hi me_in_oz,

    Theoretically the laptop turn off itself due to a higher internal temperature to protect the equipment against damage.
    In this case, you will need to clean the laptop using jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans. It is easy and takes only a few minutes to check out this article:
    [How to clean a Toshiba laptop cooling system? | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=40]

    Otherwise it seems to be a serious hardware problem and your laptop should be checked for professional people. Probably it s a malfunction of the motherboard
