Satellite A500-134 slow to respond

Hello

I just got an A500 and installed the 64-bit Vista on it, whenever I close a window or open one, it takes 6-7 seconds to react that isn't quite right.
I need help.

Hello

At the moment it is really difficult to say what the reason is, but you have installed Vista from a Microsoft disc or is the preinstalled operating system from Toshiba?

Otherwise, follow the instructions posted by Akuma. Disable the Antivirus scanner, check for yellow exclamation marks Device Manager and defragment your HARD drive.
I have Satellite A500D and it works really well! :)

  • Re: Satellite A500-1 - slow after blue screen

    Hi all

    I've owned a Satellite A500-1 in a year with no problems at all until a few days ago. When it tuning on it gave me a blue screen of death, and after 10 seconds, it turned blue, so I couldn't read error.

    I noticed reduced performance since it happened. Especially when you play games or movies HD, the picture and sound will freeze every few seconds. This happens in Windows 7 and Ubuntu. I did a new install of both, but the problem persists.

    I scanned the hard drive and memory errors, but it wasn't everything. Cant someone give me some advice, please?

    Thank you

    Hello

    > This happens in Windows 7 and Ubuntu. I did a new install of both, but the problem persists.
    This would mean that the problem is hardware-related and operating system installation seems to be ok, but it could be anything and it s is not easy to say what part is affected.

    Some parts, you can check yourself like RAM and HARD drive.

    http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT
    With the Drive Fitness Test, you can test your HARD drive. Download the CD image, burn it to a CD and boot from it. Then you can test the HARD drive.
    On the same site is a user's guide if you want to know more.

    http://Memtest86.com/
    Memtest86 is a diagnostic tool to check the RAM. Here, you can also download a CD image.
    It s easy to use. Run the test of 3-4 hours and then you will see if the RAM has some errors.

    If both tests cannot find an error, it must be another problem as the motherboard or the CPU. For such a diagnosis, you must contact an authorized service provider. They can help you get rid of this problem. You can find a complete list of the guys here:

  • Satellite A500-1GL - slow WiFi

    Bought a Satellite A500-1GL, because he promised performance a few weeks ago and I was disappointed.
    Lasts longer the laptop much longer than children should start up, but this isn't the painful question, I had struggled to trouble.
    When connected to the router it downloads to 9,46 Mb/s but I bought a laptop for mobile convenience.
    When there is wireless download speed gives a very painful 0.09 Mb/s.
    Here's what I've tried so far.

    Seller told me it was a problem of Internet Explorer and download Firefox.
    It took nearly an hour and has not made a difference.
    I disabled the virus checking and firewall individually and collectively and no help.

    Was told to change the channel on the router, I've done and no difference.

    Then said that if I changed the TX auto at 100% power level the problem should be solved.
    Download but always at the same painful level.

    Laptop of the child works very well exactly in the same places in the House, at 9 more Mbps, where my brand new Toshiba crawls to 0.09, or sometimes 0.10 MB/s.

    I also tried to turn all devices wireless into house arrest, but it did not help.

    Can someone help me please. I'm at my wits end and regretting spending so much money on this «high-performance notebook»

    Oh, I'm on Windows 7, have updated the Realtek RTL8191SE Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC and am ready for the hills.

  • Satellite A500-134 fan problem

    Hello!

    I recently bought a laptop Toshiba A500-134, and I have two problems with that.
    First of all, the largest: fans will always practically. Currently, the temperature is the following (I checked with Everest):
    CPU: 37
    CPU 1 core: 36 c
    CPU core 2: 36 c
    DispIO GPU: 46C
    MemIO GPU: 44 c
    The laptop temperature: 34 c

    The speed of the fans (utility Toshiba): 73% and sometimes more (and this is waaay out loud)
    Is this normal? Tried another (same type) for laptop and seems he did the same things. He doesn't do anything, that the Vista desktop are running, and the fans are still ongoing.

    The second problem is a high tone sound from speakers. In my view, the processor to affect it. When I change the portable powersaving mode, the sound is silent, or it disappears.

    Hey Buddy

    To be honest I n t see a problem with the temperature of your fan or your laptop.
    CPU and GPU temperature appears to be low and there s nothing unusual.

    Cooling performance modules can be changed in Vista's power management:

  • Satellite A500 - display driver stopped responding

    Hello

    3 weeks ago, I bought a brand new Toshiba A500. I post here because I found no useful solution.
    Here are the specs:

    Processor: intel core i3 M330 2.13 GHz
    Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M (1024 MB)
    Hard drive: MJA2320BH G2 (320 GB, 5400 RPM, SATA-II)
    RAM: 2 X 2 GB DDR3 - 1066 DDR3 SDRAM (7-7-7-20 @ 533 MHz) (6-6-6-18 @ 457 MHz)
    Audio: Realtek ALC272 @ Intel Ibex Peak PCH
    System: Windows 7 64-bit, made at Toshiba

    The question is: random situations, the screen is in turn black for a few seconds, then the message is pop up saying "display driver stopped responding and has recovered - display driver NVIDIA Kernel Mode Driver, Version 187.98 stopped responding and has successfully recovered" It happens several times a day.

    Display driver sometimes can not be recovered and the system hangs and must be reset. Problem occur on the first day after five minutes of use (when it was not install anything without OS).

    Problem always occurs during normal operation with applications (MS office, firefox, etc.). It's completely random - there are no two the same situations - so when I look at youtube on full screen hd movies it crashes several times, but when I restart the OS and to play the same movie, it works properly.

    Causes of demand, this problem is called TDR (timeout detection and recovery).
    This application GPU reset when get failed for 2 sec. But in a register of Windows7 have entered controlled this application.

    Since I tried following solutions:
    -Updated BIOS.
    -System of resettlement;
    -Display driver update to version 197.16;
    -Check the temperature on the graphics card (when the problem occurs on the graphics card temperature does not exceed 47deg and 36deg processor);
    -Java Update (old version of can of Java causes some device problems);
    -Updated adobe (even Java);
    -Disable aero;
    -Updates of Windows 7;
    -Disable audio (realtek card);

    None of them works.

    The problem occurs during the games (i.ex. The Witcher). I can play 8 hours and nothing weird happens.
    I noticed that this problem occurs also during opening some applications or enter new tasks (when demand for energy is growing rapidly).

    I'm asking this is a driver problem or should I return the laptop to the service.
    I suspect that the problem may be large difference of voltage on the graphics card but I can not verified that.

    If anyone has experience this problem, I'd appreciate any help.

    Hello

    I had the same problem with my A500-1dn equipped GT 230 M, the message, the display driver stopped responding. I've updated the video card driver from nvidia.com 3 weeks ago and since that time, it ' s gone (hopefully forever).
