• Satellite A300D: 5 minutes playing this game stops down

  Hi all!

  I've had my Satellite for almost a year now and have used it mainly for not too demanding programs.
  Recently I bought Call of Duty 4, but unfortunately the computer turns off after playing for five minutes.

  Subsequently I can't start immideately, as it has overheated, but it feels not too hot; and it shouldn't have after playing five minutes.

  Can someone help me?
  THX!

  BTW...

  Does anyone know why the laptop restarts after stopping with the inserted network cable and that it does not work when it is not connected?

  THX!

  Hello!

  I agree with yunusemreklk!
  The reason might be that your laptop is overheating and so I would try to clean using compressed air stream. This could blow out the dust from the cooling fans.
  In addition, I would try to update the BIOS of your laptop before moving on to an authorized service provider. You can find it on the Toshiba European driver download page.

  Last but not least, you must disable the wake on LAN function in the BIOS and in windows too. Computer laptop doesn t restart if a network cable is plugged.

• Satellite A300D overheats whenever I run any game

  I have Toshiba Satellite A300D 18 months but 2 months now I have problems.

  Everytime I open a game my machine is warming and that in 5 minutes turn off itself. When I look at the videos my computer heats up very well and I can't bring to Toshiba Service to fix, because six monts has now im abroad. I think that if I take options down to the bottom of my screen it will be better.

  My graphics card is 128 MB, but using my ram and its 892 MB, how can I close the ram usage view? My laptop is Toshiba Satellite A300D PSAK4E, if someone help on this, I will be very happy because I am back in my country after 5 months, and up until this time I can't give my machine in i.t. for fixing.

  Hi zero_1,

  Maybe it s is not necessary that you need a professional to an authorized service and you can fix this problem yourself.

  Sometimes a notebook should be cleaned from time to time because there is a lot of dust in the cooling fans. It can be cleaned with a spray of compressed air is very easy.

• 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.

• Satellite A300D - is overheating and can not play games

  Hello
  I'm quite desperate. My Satellite A300D is overheating. I can not play new games. Temperature hit 94 degrees and laptop is restarted. I cleaned it several times, very precisely and nothing. So I decided to send it to the official service of Toshiba. After that, the phone is still the same.

  My only hope is buy cooling grease and cooling stock-base. But before that ideas, advice?

  Thanks for everything...

  Hello

  I can understand you mate, but have you contacted Toshiba service center again? You should speak with the technicians and explain the situation. I put t know what they did, do you know that?

  Cleaning of the laptop is still a good idea but if it doesn't work maybe the thermal compound must be renewed. So ask a technician for help laptop.

  By the way: what OS are you using? You can use the same problem with the factory settings and preinstalled display driver?

• Satellite A300D-126 - GPU Overhead

  Hello

  I'm owner of Toshiba Satellite A300D-126. I have a question about my GPU.
  Is overheated when I play games or watch a movie. Beginning of the screen up and down, other times I sometimes have a green lines on it or just stopping.

  I can do anything on this subject?

  Can I change the video card? I have an ATI Radeon, but I don't know if my model is for sure for about $ 100. It is going to work or just need a new system?

  Can I upgrade with 512 MB?

  Exchange GPU or upgrade is not supported. Generally the hardware upgrade on mobile machinery is very limited and supported upgrade is for RAM and HARD drive only.
  Overheating can also come from dust in the cooling rack.

  Satellite A300D is pretty old machine and as a first step I recommend to clean it.
  After having done that, your laptop can take a new breath, and I hope that it will not reach the critical temperature again.

• How long should the battery last in a Satellite A300D

  Can someone let me know how long my battery should last a Satellite A300D?
  It has been in my possession the two days of the new?

  Hello

  First of all, you know that a lifetime battery changing and depends on the use of the laptop.
  So, if you scale DVD or / and game play the battery needed to dump a lot faster than the execution of some common applications like Word, IE, etc.

  In addition, there are different batteries with different specifications, as the battery 6 cells needed to dump as soon as a battery 9 cells.
  That is why it s is not easy to say how long a battery should last, but usually you can use the laptop with battery for about 1.5 hours

  See you soon

• Satellite A300D - not stop overheating

  Hi all

  I'm new on the forum, but unfortunately not new to toshiba disorders.

  I have a satellite A300D - 14 D PSAK8E for 3 years.
  I had to take a time for a warranty repair (after 6 months) to change the motherboard. Since then, only the usual problems of overheating and batteries that do not live long.

  My brother bought the exact same model, in the same bank, at the same time, and he had to order a new charger. I notice that my laptop starts to spin like crazy fans, as soon as I start it.

  This means that, when it is totally cool!
  His computer portable twin isn't moaning as mine does.

  I did all the stuff. I opened and cleaned, I bought a block of cooling, I empty regularly.
  I keep clean on software, just the basics, my antivirus is the avast, cannot play most of the games and keep my personal files on an external HD.

  These days, 6 months, my shutsdown of toshiba when executing two simple tasks simultaneously (like open a doc office and chrome). Not always, but most of the time.

  At first I thought it was overheating, because as stars fans spinning, but the laptop is pretty cool.

  What operating system? It came with Vista, but I changed it to Windows 7.

  Any information would be welcome.
  Thank you!

  Hello

  In the past I ve changed several models of Toshiba and two of them were models D (AMD) and I have to say that exactly on these models of cooling fan was always a little stronger and fan worked more often. Now, I have A300 with preinstalled Win7 32 bit and it works perfectly. A30/A300D are fully supported for Win7 so the described behavior has nothing to do with the preinstalled OS.
  > I noticed that my laptop starts to spin like crazy fans, as soon as I start it. This means that, when it is totally cool!
  That s nothing unusual and that occur on most laptops including my P500. Computer startup laptop accelerated cooling fan works at maximum and when Toshiba welcome screen is displayed, it slows down. That of normal and don t worry not about this.

  To be honest, it is not easy to say why your laptop stops. Make sure that the laptop is placed on the desk and the cooling fan is not blocked. Clear also all unnecessary background processes to keep the pressure on the CPU.

  Sorry, but I cannot say more than that.

• Satellite A300D - 214 PSAHCE - overheating and stuttering

  Hello world

  I am using Toshiba Satellite A300D-214 and I have serious delay problems. I can't play a game properly. I said that I have these questions for the technical department, but they said it's because of the dust.

  After 2 hours of cleaning, I encounter the same problems, but they said I have to pay 50 lire (which is almost ~ $ 25) to check if there is a problem in my computer, even if I have the warranty, and if it's graphics card, I have to buy a new graphics card as the warranty has expired.

  What can I do to fix this?

  Hello

  Which driver of video card you are using?
  Toshiba GPU driver should be used because this driver supports the thermal protection that protects the GPU from damage.
  Use of other drivers can lead to higher heat dissipation and a higher temperature.

• Satellite A300D - a few questions on the various issues

  Hello techies!

  I got a Satellite A300D and had to re - install a new version of the OS.
  I removed the German language of MS Vista pre-installed and language 32 bit MS Vista Business ed. ENGLISH Version installed.
  Installation was fine, that the software works correctly except for the ATI driver and the ATI Catalyst Control Center (CCC).

  I downloaded the latest version of the drivers ATI and CCC for this laptop.
  Once the Toshiba page but also from ATI directly, nothing helps.

  Symptoms:
  Laptop is used with a docking station (although it does not matter for this issue!)

  -by opening and closing the cover of the display of an error message appears on the screen telling me, the graphic driver works correctly.
  -When right click on desktop > ATI CCC (or open it via the SysTray) a first configuration tool appears and after a few seconds, it hides all of a sudden. After 30 sec guessed it reappears for a second, and the game resumes. I can not click on 'next' or chooses an option within this window. I have to kill the process that is running with this program.
  -SKYPE VoIP: The opposite user can see me, but I do not see the video images of the person I call.
  Even in Windows Skype video configuration, it doesn't show me a video image from my camera.
  -Opening of a PDF with Adobe Reader works fine. To open a second PDF next to her brings a problem and I can't see the content. It freezes the window type. If you move the reader I'm moving the actual content of the office but can not see the contents of the PDF...

  I don't know how to solve this problem.
  It has never worked properly. He has not even after the installation of the plain Vista operating system, then the ATI drivers. Each resettlement shows without success.

  Help, please! Hotline of Toshiba could not support me in this issue.

  Thanks in advance!

  Hi Uwe

  This is a user to user forum so that you will encounter here only users of Toshiba laptops
  But if you still want to hear some tips so you here:

  > When opening and closing of the lid of the view that an error message appears on the screen telling me, the graphics driver works correctly.
  What you could do is to remove the installed graphics driver (Device Manager-> uninstall). Then clean the operating system using the CCleaner (it the free tool) and then install the graphics driver that you downloaded from the European driver Toshiba page!

  > When right click on desktop > ATI CCC (or open it via the SysTray) a first configuration tool appears and after a few seconds, it hides all of a sudden. After 30 sec guessed it reappears for a second, and the game resumes. I can not click on 'next' or chooses an option within this window. I have to kill the process that is running with this program.
  The ATI CCC is owned by the graphics driver. So, as I've suggested above; Try reinstalling the driver!

  > SKYPE VoIP: the user opposite can see me, but I do not see the video images of the person I call. Even in Windows Skype video configuration, it doesn't show me a video image from my camera.
  If the other person you can see via webcam then that would mean that your webcam works fine! You may need to reconfigure the Skype!

  > Opening a PDF with Adobe Reader works fine. To open a second PDF next to her brings a problem and I can't see the content. It freezes the window type. If you move the reader I'm moving the actual content of the office, but cannot see the content of the PDF
  This could be a problem for Adobe, so the first step should be a reinstallation of the software.
  Then follow the same procedure as described above. remove the software acrobat reader, restart, clean operating system using the CCLeaner, reboot, reinstall the software Acrobat reader again.

  Good bye

• Satellite A300D-11 s - how to share memory card video RAM

  I want to know if it s a solution other than RAM memory on the video card on Satellite A300d-11?
  I use XP and I have 2 GB of Ram

  For games, what is the best Vista or XP?

  If you don t need the DirectX10 game so I advise to use the XP operating system for the games because Vista needs of more material resources like Win XP.

  With respect to the memory of the graphics card and sharing with the RAM:

  The laptop seems to support the ATI Radeon X 1200, and this card supports 128 MB video memory dedicated. In addition, it supports 191 MB of shared system memory (when memory 1 GB system) using 2 GB of RAM, the system memory that is shared is higher.

  The fact is that this shared memory is assigned automatically and if the game needs of more memory then the graphic driver controls and actions she!

• Satellite A300D - overheating and shutdown

  Hello

  I have a problem with my 3 month old Toshiba Satellite A300D-126. Any time I play a game like Call of Duty 4 or Warcraft after like 15-20 min, the left side of the laptop where the cooler is placed, it is overheating, almost too hot to the touch, and finally the laptop stops.

  I have to mention the fact that, recently, I installed XP (all the drivers downloaded from the Toshiba site), but I somewhat had the same problems on Vista also.

  I downloaded MobileMeter, and temperatures have shown here I think that they are not normal:
  Temp - HDD-35-36 degrees C and 80-85 C (when I m only not with the games, so I think that during the Games time. significantly increase)

  Is it possible that the cooler can deal with games, and it is dusty? If so, how do I to clean?

  Allows any kind of response,

  Thank you

  Hello

  I play call of Duty 4 on Satellite A300-1LI and so far everything is fine. Okay that's the different hardware platform, but I still believe that there should be no difference.

  I think CPU temperature is perhaps greater than usual but, in my opinion, not the critical level. The normal temperature of the hard drive and the same as on my Satellite A300.
  I don't know how you use your laptop, but it is the new model of laptop and I don't think that there is so much dust inside. If the laptop is placed on the desk, try putting back on two CD boxes and place it on the top position. Reduce graphics settings in the game and check again.

  Is the method of cooling energy savings of Toshiba to the maximum level?

  Hi all I have a Toshiba Satellite A300D - 13R paskoe.
  Well, my question is where can I get the metal Secundary HDD support that goes with 4 screws to fix the disc... If I have SATA connectors?

  Because I can't find any site for purchase. Thank you

  I assume that you need HARD drive caddy. It is not easy to find an online store where you can order. I don't know in which country have you but living and if it is possible to find something, but try on eBay. I ve found many parts and laptop hardware components there.

  What you can also do is to contact the nearest Toshiba service in your country. They must have it also.
