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

  • M35 satellite turns off all the time

    My Satellite M35 turns off all the time.
    Trigger, then it dies.

    Advice please

    Seems to be a problem of overheating!
    Usually, this happens because the cooling modules cannot turn with maximum performance and cannot cool the internal devices properly!

    Why is this happening? Well, the reason is the dust and debris that prevent the fans work properly!
    I recommend cleaning with compressed air stream fans that can be purchased in most computer resellers!

  • Bug in version 6.2.1 of the filter? (flag to reset filters turned off all the time)

    I love working with the filter with indicator / without indicator with my photos.
    With the 6.2.1 last version, with indicator filter go back "filter off" all the time.
    Example, 3 pictures are marked, I select, I merge them into an HDR... .and when you finish the filter is reset to filters turned off.
    Also edit a photo in Photoshop... .returning to lightroom... .filters off

    Quite boring!

    also ask, if you merge 3 pictures that are flagged (picked) in an HDR, it would be nice that the merged result is marked as?

    I think that you have unlocked filters.  Make sure this file > library Filters > Lock filters is verified (the lock is also represented by the padlock on the right end of the library filter bar - make sure that it is locked).  When it is locked, the current filter is not changed by Photo > merge pictures (at least in my 2015.2.1 CC).

  • Satellite U500-10F - Dungeon fan turning ON and OFF all the time

    Hello world

    Just bought my u500-10F and installed Windows 7 Enterprise on this.

    Having a very weird problem, the fan keep turn on/off all the time every 10 seconds or more, even without any CPU load. Any ideas? Is there a fan control software?

    Rgds,
    Arley

    As you know that Win7 is not released and without support, there is therefore no Toshiba Software for any type of power control and the fan at the moment.

    Have you noticed the same behavior of fan preinstalled Vista operating system?

    MY TOSHIBA easy media LED is all the time and power on & off led does not work very well

    Can help any body for this problem, or if I can restore my last version of BIOS?
    THANKS TO ALL HERE.

    I don't know what model of laptop you have, but on my Satellite A300, everything works fine.
    I disabled the illuminance in the BIOS settings, but I can always turn on or off using on/off button.

    Has your computer laptop original Vista preinstalled?
    I don't know if this will help, but you can try to remove the package value system and after reboot to install the latest version of the Toshiba download page.

  • Firefox sometimes freezes my computer when I go to some sites for about 10 seconds and my hard drive is turned on all the time.

    This happened since I upgraded Firefox 3.6 Firefox 18 when it was released in the 23.0.1 that I have right now. When I go on some heavy such as yahoo news, browser specific websites and my computer will be blocked for about 10 seconds while my HDD is on all the time and the only info on: crashes gives me a link to a page called limitation, which apparently no longer exists. It happens that its manual or automatic cache on size and only seems to happen when its max cache. Depending on the subject: crashes, it happened only 4 times before I went from 3.6 to 18.

    Ive tried turning almost all my addons turned off and that did not work, Ive had harware acceleration turned off for a long time if it's not that. I still have all my plugins off except flash and it does not have anything to do with flash. The report of health of firefox it also count as an accident.

    I worked in fact observe that its almost always the comment system on the pages of Web sites such as disqus. IM blocking them just through them with ghostery and anti-ad element hider.

  • Satellite R630 - fan runs all the time

    Hello everyone,

    I have a Satellite R630, and I'm happy with it. But there is one thing that makes me angry... the fan! It runs ALL the time. I browse a little... the fan works. I work with the office, or something... the fan works. To clarify: the CPU is not used, there is no heavy processes running, and the Notebook\CPU is cool. There is no reason why the fan should work, all the laptops that I had before where calm in the same situations. Of course it is not a problem if it starts working if necessary (a game, looking for a HD video or something). But not without reason!

    Someone at - it a solution for this problem? A tool to fix the fan speed\intervals manually, or better: an update of the bios (in the version 1.4 and 1.5 I can choose what I want... the fan did not stop execution). It is also quiet in Linux or any other operating system.

    @Toshiba: (!) Please do something. The only solution for me right now is to return the laptop to the store. :-(

    Best regards

    Hello

    Hmm... If you have already installed the latest BIOS updates, you should check the cooling of Windows Power management settings. Generally you can switch between different methods of cooling as you can read here:

  • Satellite U300 turns off when the battery has been removed

    Hello

    I'm on the laptop with the battery in place, and the power supply plugged in.
    That's when I take off the battery (always plugged power) who, after 5 seconds the laptop powers off.

    It's not happened before and now it happens ALL the time every time I have to remove the battery.
    I noticed that when the battery is removed, the battery light is always on – if for some reason any cell phone still thinks the battery is connected.

    For me, it looks like an electronic power supply problem.

    But it s just my personal opinion

    I think that the laptop should be checked by an authorized technician.

    Contact the ASP in your country and ask for verification

    If the warranty is valid then an everything should be done for free

    Good bye

    Hello

    I have HP Pavilion dv6-2140's. It is 1.5 years old. For a few days, my computer doesnot dim laptop screen or stops itself when not in use. I did the settings or power options. tried both recommended hp and energy saving. waited for several minutes, but neither the screen became decrease or stop. It was plugged and I slept something, but I knew he would go to standby mode after 15 minutes, but when I woke in the morning, he was still on with its full brightness for nearly 6 hours! That's what really shocked me, and then I checked for everything on google, but couldn't find anything. So please help me. Why is it so. I didn't install anything, nothing updated.

    Thank you

    Please update the latest version of the BIOS for your laptop and also check if your laptop screen is turned off when the unit works only with the battery.
    Go to control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Power Options\Edit Plan Settings and configure the parameters of the battery and check if the display turns off. In case it does, you can try then configure the parameters of the plan when the unit is plugged.

    That s strange. Even if the system is damaged, the installation should work using the recovery disk
    Error message: bootmgr missing means that your system is confusing to the top. System files are corrupted or misconfigured. It might be possible that your disk sectors are damage or the HARD drive is not properly configured to be started from.

    You can try to boot from the authentic Microsoft Win 7 disc and may format the HARD drive including a deletion of all available partitions.
    After the HARD drive has been formatted, try to install the system using the Windows 7 disc.
