• Satellite A40-231 sometimes restarts without any obvious reason

  I am owner of a satellite A40-231... my problem is that the computer mobile restars sometimes at will without any obvious reason.
  can someone help me please

  thnx

  Hello

  A restart (or reboot) as you describe usually follows a condition of serious error on your laptop that causes Windows reboot. Generally though, you'll get some sort of error message (blue screen) just before the reboot. You can prevent this automatic restart simply by disabling it in system properties options. Just right click on my computer-> properties-> Advanced-> Startup Recovery & -> settings and uncheck the Automatic Restart.

• Satellite P200 - 1EE 100% CPU with Toshiba Flash Cards usage

  Resource monitor shows 100% CPU usage constantly in recent weeks (no problem for the first 6 months that I have owned the machine) with 85 to 99% of my CPU used on 2 entries each shown as "Toshiba Flash Cards", no idea why and how I can sort this out as it slows everything down? Thank you very much

  Andy

  Hello

  The utility of Toshiba Flash Cards is a part of the Vista Toshiba value added package and it controls the functionality of buttons FN.
  Kody said already that it is advisable to reinstall the VAP to check if it would prevent the high utilization of the processor.

  You should also clean the operating system using the CCLeaner. After PPV remove you must run the CCLeaner to ensure that all of the VAP files have been deleted.

  Good bye

  I think first we should know something on your system, then you should run some respectable malware removal tools and then only start troubleshooting of any problems (unless you just want to start guessing and try things).

  Because the Microsoft Answers forum does not have any kind of information system request when a new question is asked, we know almost nothing about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

  Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

  Provide information on your system, the better you can:

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Internet browser and version?

  Your system's disks IDE or SATA drives?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

  The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

  You have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which is the same Service as your installed Service Pack (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

  No matter what you use to antivirus/antimalware protection please follow these steps:

  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs at:
  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

• Satellite A40-231 does not start after the incorrect firmware update

  Hello
  I have a toshiba satellite a40 - 231.it unbootable because I flashed it's drive(sdr-6112) dvd - rw with the wrong firmware and I also made a mistake in making a non bootable back active partition, try to Flash the correct firmware. So my question is: can I boot from the usb flash drive? I think it's the only option I have left, if not network startup.

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  As far as I know it of not possible to start other devices from the USB FDD / HDD / CD-ROM / LAN

  You can boot from network, but if you want to install the OS via the LAN you will need a RIS server. But it's not easy to do without any additional experience. So I think that this option isn't for you.

  It seems that the drive is dead or is malfunctioning and that is why the best idea is to replace the device's drive. I know, it's hard to hear that, but I don't see any other solution

• Satellite A40-231: cannot burn CDs or DVDs

  Hello

  I can play CDs without problem, but I can't write them and DVD. I tried with Windows XP default recorder (by Roxio as he said), Nero and Infra Recorder but still had the same problem. Combustion process begins and finishes without errors with all of this software, but when I check the contents of the CD later, I see that nothing is written there, the CD is just considered as empty, or sometimes seen with 0 MB of available space, 0 MB total space.

  I tried with the CD - r, CD - RW and the DVD but I got the same problem. I have 2 389 MB free in my disk space hard as he is seen by Nero for the ability of the temporary folder that it uses.

  My DVD-R /-RW is recognized by Windows XP without problem and also, I installed the latest firmware from the site Web of Toshiba.

  Here are my specifications:

  Toshiba Satellite A40-231
  Toshiba DVD - ROM SD-R6112 DVD-R /-RW DRIVE Firmware Version: 1333 (latest news on the site Web of Toshiba Driver)
  System dual boot: Windows XP SP2 and Linux Debian Sarge

  Hello

  In the manual of Toshiba, you compatible o is a list and supported the CDs and DVDs.
  You must use these mediums as they are tested and should work correctly.

  Another tip:
  Go to start > run > and start recording with a command regedit

  Delete values

• Satellite C670D-10W - Task Manager shows 100% CPU usage

  My new laptop with windows 7 factory-installed and all programs by Toshiba nothing addded present 100% of the CPU usage in the task Manager and works quite slow. The sum of 80 strange process in the Task Manager is never more than 30 to 50%, but the key is always 100%.

  Process hacker I tried 2, shows the same process in Task Manager.
  What can be the problem?

  Hey Malki,

  He run a background process and they need the CPU usage that of normal. Antivirus is running in the background like other tools as well. As far as I know after the installation of recovery the defragmentation tool runs also in the background.

  Interesting to know is what problem you have. I mean usually the CPU usage is not important if you can do everything and computer works correctly.

  You have problems?

• Svchost.exe causing 100% cpu usage during the update of windows, even when disconnected.

  I recently had to re - install windows xp on a new hard drive for replacement. My version of xp home edition, SP2 OEM installation disc. (This is ith group included IE6)

  Once installed and running, could access windows update.

  Read all the threads associated etc. and installed SP3, disc after downloading microsoft on another pc. Installed after three trys, first two caused various mistakes, but third attempt seems OK!

  I've also updated the IE6 to IE8, as some sites obviously did not work properly with the older browser.

  Now go do the automatic updates, or log for manual updates... BUT!

  During the process, my cpu fan comes on fast and permanently! The CPU usage is showing that 100%, pc slows to crawl, the mouse becomes slow etc.

  This has never happened before on this machine before you reinstall clean, he had already automatically updated to SP3 and went very well, it was some time ago, before the failure of hard drive, and it has never had this problem!

  Only since having to do a cleaning manual update and re - install.

  The culprit seems to be svchost.exe, once it is used by the update, running the cpu at 100% and continues to do so EVEN after stopping the service, until I manually stop with the Task Manager!

  The svchost.exe instance showing a high is use: SYSTEM.

  According to the files of help here, it is a known issue and a fix KB927891 was issued for SP2, but this should NOT be necessary for SP3, and in fact difficulty used to perform anyway under SP3!

  Ideas for a guy to fix?

  I appreciate the support for XP runs out quickly, and after this update of windows will be redundant, but in the meantime it is always useful!

  Also if I turn off the automatic updates, how can I stop this annoying popup warning bubble?... I can't live without updating, but this bubble nag drives you nuts! :)

  OK just a update, now running cool and 100% auto update and manual update... How? I hear you ask...

  Well I had a beer and a reflection and came to the conclusion, it must be 'order' in which I updated the clean installation of XP.

  Origin, I loaded the old OEM disc new hard disk, loaded the drivers etc, then stop at windows update for updated files.

  Who told me my old incompatible browser and suggested an upgrade.

  I downloaded and installed IE8... still no joy, reading the forums comments I downloaded and installed SP3... which SEEMED to work, BUT then all the hassle of cpu to 100% with the automatic update and updated manual on the windows don't update site!

  So I just gritted my teeth, formatted the drive, another OEM of XP Home Edition SP2 installation loaded the drivers, installed a copy saved to SP3 and after restarting, THEN installed a saved copy of IE8 and THEN trotted off the coast to the windows update site... low and behold, it the connection without problem, did a search, and required updates appeared on the screen without delay all 123 of them...! :)

  Did the updates, restarted and everything was fine, updates automatic in market and left the machine, after about 30 minutes appears the yellow shield, and it downloads a couple more update files without problem.

  All this time I followed the via the Task Manager CPU usage and the strange spike waited 100% apartment, it was on average from 5 to 20%!...so a great improvement has this effect, by simply changing the order of the updates installed from the original! SP3 IE before IE8.

  May not work for all have to do a clean install because of the HD failed, but its worked for me, and I am once more a "happy bunny!

• Satellite T130-10T: high CPU usage for no apparent reason

  I have a brand new satellite T130.
  Unboxing conversion, I noticed that the CPU usage is most of the time very high, even if it has nothing (no application does not work).

  Sometimes it hits 100% and rest there for a few minutes.
  I installed the most recent BIOST I could find on the Toshiba site, but nothing changes.

  Any ideas?
  I don't like just-out-the-box-unit already causes disorders!

  Hi mate

  There are many applications that run in the background.
  Most of them is installed by Toshiba and these tools control the features of the laptop as keys FN, multi, eco button command buttons, etc.

  You can see the ruing applications in the Task Manager. There you can also see what background process requires the use of the CPU.

  Hi, I use the latest version of iTunes 12.3.3 on Windows 7 64 - bit with Intel Core i5 and 8 GB of RAM. Whenever I run iTunes, everything becomes so slow. I checked my PC's performance in the Task Manager and the CPU usage is 100%. The strangest part is that even if I close iTunes, it still consumes my CPU at 100%. I tried to reinstall several times. I even downloaded it three times but nothing helped.

• Why my svchost.exe process constantly runs at 100% CPU usage?

  Recently, my computer was extremely slow.  I thought that was the cause of a worm or virus but after I used Norton to take care of that my system is still slow right too. When I checked my system process, its display svchost.exe using a massive amount of memory. Therefore, my CPU usage is constantly at 100%.  Is it still the result of a bug? Or do I have to look elsewhere as the source of the problem? Thank you

  It is possible that a recent update of Norton was faulty or caused one conflict with another program on the PC.

  Activity excessive svchost.exe is often linked to one of the following:

  1 resource hog like Norton or McAfee (sad but true)

  2 be linked in Microsoft Update instead of Windows Update

  3. after having been updated for Windows Search 4.0 and its endless reindexing

  4. the presence of malware

  Unless you have uninstalled Norton AND used their removal tool, I doubt you really deleted ALL occurrences of Norton!

  FWIW, I helped a neighbor recently with his performance problem. The culprit in his case was Windws Search 4.0. And since there is no entry in the Control Panel Add / Remove programs to KB940157, I needed to follow the instructions offered by Nepatsfan here:

• CPU is thrasing like crazy, up to 100% CPU usage almost instantly.

  I use IE 8,00. Windows XP SP3. When I browse the Internet, the CPU goes up like nuts and in many cases to 100% use almost instantly, and a result locks all the programs that have been opened. I use the Task Manager to see the use of resources. My anti virus Norton 360 does not like what I see and this phenomenon occurs mainly when I open websites and do scroll a lot of resources. Nor have any other ongoing enforcement programs that require intense CPU utilization but normal running programs. I further note that the same things that happens when I use MS Excel 2003, locks when I try to copy and paste the same small amounts of information, especailly website screen scraping. Why is everything so fort on the CPU and why my CPU use shot up to 100% of so much of the time. I can hear it like a groan or its collapse when these things occur. Any ideas?

  I have 2 GB on a Dell Dimension 3100, 80 GB HD mem.

• My laptop is often spiking to 100% CPU usage and always > 10%, with a physical memory to 25% + even though I have no programs running

  Recently, I reformatted the drive, reinstalled Windows and have no personal data on this subject. The only application there is office, which I am not, using McAffee and my browser:-I use it mainly for web browsing.

  It seems to happen mostly when I was using the browser, then left the machine for a few hours, then come back and tried to use it again. I turned off the screen saver and specify power options to keep permannently because she seems to be that the question was restartinjg rest. When the CPU usage is at its peak, and I try to return to the browser (or whatever it is) it may take some minutes to answer - just to load the Control Panel, for example.

  I can see from the Manager tasks, which is currently running, but ideas on how to identify the process that all take this resource, I can stop safely and therefore to save resources?

  Processes are:-

  CSRSS
  DWM
  Explorer
  mcagent
  MSASCui
  rundl32
  Sidebar
  taskeng
  Taskmgr
  Winlogon

  Also a lot of services - too many to list!

  All the processes you list, apart from mcagent, which is McAfee, are essential components of Windows. If you finish one of them outside the sidebar of your computer stops working to a greater or lesser degree. You could try gadgets on sidebar of closing in case one of them is wrong to behave.

  Another thing that can cause the CPU to boost with no application running is Windows Update and probably analysis and updates from McAfee.

  Don't you have the CPU column shows in the Task Manager, so that you can see which process is using most of the CPU? What processor is it? What is a heart?

  A better tool than the Manager of the tasks for these circumstances is Process Explorer.

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/Sysinternals/bb896653

  Process Explorer is a chart of the CPU where you can put the mouse on a cob and it will tell you what process is using most of the CPU.

  There is an introduction to Process Explorer here.

  http://Channel9.msdn.com/events/TechEd/NorthAmerica/2010/WCL314

  As for the memory of 25%, 25% of what? Computer laptop 2 GB I write this on shows 42% of physical memory used with any running application. It's Windows. It's big enough.

  In your situation, one thing I would try would be to uninstall McAfee (run the removal tool then http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=TS100507) and install Microsoft Security Essentials.

• Why my always 100% CPU usage and what is RegSvcs.exe uses 50% of it?

  Hi people,

  I think I need urgent help though.

  Recently, I thought I downloaded malware that is injected with the Trojan horse. And now, I believe that the Trojan horse lies in my computer. I did this because my CPU usage is always at 100% even when I just restarted my com. Initially, I found there was a program called dgen.exe running in my computer to a 60% of CPU usage. Never so, I remove the dgen.exe from my computer but I don't know if I remove it entirely. Now, I'll have another program called RegSvcs.exe in my computer operating at 50 percent CPU usage. I googled out and it says it may or may not be required by windows and it could be a trojan virus as well. That's why there at - it anyone who can enlighten me on this?

  I have to delete or to update or something?

  Thank you.

  Kind regards.
