Satellite A500-138 crashing when I play

• Satellite A500-1DN - crashing everything by playing games

  Hi all

  About 2 months ago, my friend bought a Toshiba satellite A500-1DN. After about 2 weeks, she decided to put 2 games on it (guildwars and jedi knight academy). We quickly realized that after about 1 hour of playing, the computer would crash to a black screen, rather than return to a blue screen of death. That meant there was no indication of what was causing the problem specifically and no dumps mini windows...
  Having trouble with these specific games myself on Windows 7, I thought about the games.

  A week later, she spent an hour watching videos to youtube to see his computer crashed in the same way as the game. So I put some on the computer diagnostic software. CPU / GPU overheating? But nothing, the temperatures are stable and supported and certainly wouldn t have been the cause of these accidents, unless I unfortunately missed the point where he did more heat cache-shoulders so I not outrule not he...
  Because of the problem it seems to be up to now video related, I downloaded the new nvidia drivers (unfortunately the official ones didn't work and I had to search a custom .inf file). It does not solve the problem, but the driver seemed to work adequately well.

  In our anger, we have sent it back stating that it would be cooling the laptop, that is to say of copper was not sufficient for the graphics card and Toshiba said they had cleaned up the computer until replaced thermal paste, typical stuff all... which seems very fair. We returned it. We played a game and it crashed within 10 minutes. Perhaps even worse than when he left.

  Is there anything that could cause this problem - video related activities causing crash computer without going to the BSOD or return specific errors. What is RAM? I even uninstalled protection HDD thinking it could be the source of compatibility problems.

  I need advice.

  The spec is:
  Intel core 2 DUO T6600 CPU 2.20 GHz processor
  NVIDIA Geforce GT 230M
  4 GB OF RAM

  Hello

  This only happens if you play games or Surf Internet, office, etc.. ?

  The games aren't supposed to, but if they are a bit older, they are not compatible with Windows 7 maybe. Did you check that?
  Also look for a patch for the games. You can get it on the site of the factory.

  In addition, it would be interesting to know what you get exactly the code bluescreen. For the most part the stop codes you can find more information on Microsoft Knowledge Base.

  In most cases these bluescreens correspond to the drivers or hardware. If all Toshiba drivers are installed, check the RAM with Memtest86 diagnostic tool.

  Good luck! :)

• Satellite A500-132 - stop when you play

  Hi, mate

  You are not the 1st person in this forum who has such a problem with the A500. The most possible reason is overheating. Have you enabled, maximum performance, in the cooling method in power management? In addition, you should try to clean it with compressed air stream...

• Satellite A500-1 - stops when I play games

  Hello!

  I'm having some serious heat and fan with my Toshiba laptop problems. First data:
  The laptop is on and a half a year old. His turning point under Windows 7 64-bit. I cleaned it about 2 days ago and many times before (dust in the fan cooling etc..). Toshiba drivers are up-to-date and I already use a cooling block.

  When I play games sometimes, my laptop suddenly stops immediately, due to overheating problems. The strange thing is that, when this happens, the fan is not nearly at maximum speed. When I restart the computer after such a judgment, the fan fire suddenly at maximum speed, until the laptop even once cooled.

  I started watching my CPU and GPU, and my fan speed temperatures while playing games, and I recognized, that the temperatures increase normally, but most of the time the fan remains at its current speed. Even if Toshiba PC Health Monitor shows, that the fan speed goes from 40% to 90% the fan is actually at a low speed.

  From time to time it happens that the fan suddenly triggers her speed, but it lowers again after 1 or 2 minutes, while the indicated fan speed remains constantly at 90%. Somehow, I'd understand if the laptop would be closed despite the entirely fan running, but insufficient fan controlling? Come on Toshiba.

  In addition this problem worsens every day. Anyone who has any suggestions to solve this problem?

  Greetings
  Thomas?

  Hey Buddy,

  Interesting story, but how do I clean the fan exactly? Did you use a jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans?
  Another reason could be the display driver itself. As you can see in other threads if you are using a Toshiba display driver they might cause of overheating because they don t have a protection against overheating and other thermal management. So it is important to use only Toshiba display drivers.

  What version of BIOS you have installed right now?

  AFAIK BIOS version latest contains another management fan so I'll try to update. You can download the latest version here:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads

  In general the fan will be controlled automatically and you can t he control you. Just make sure you use power plan to high performance for the games.

• Satellite A500-138 - warmer on the left side of the touchpad

  Got a Toshiba Satellite A500-138 and it get hot in the left side of the touch pad.

  Can some help me?

  Hi atmo.

  Well, I think that some some areas on the laptop are always a bit warmer than other regions. I think that it s according to the hardware parts where is the cooling module and find CPU, graphics card, and chipset.

  You have problems? She is turned off without warning?

  What you can do is try to clean the cooling system using a jet of compressed air. This can blow the dust from the cooling fans:

• Qosmio X 500 - blue screen or system crash when you play

  I have problems with my new laptop.
  The laptop is a week and I get frequent blue screen errors and system crashes when you play.
  At this time I only tried to play a game: World of Warcraft.

  I have run on:
  The original that came pre-installed graphic drivers.
  The latest updated drivers from the Web from Toshiba site.
  The latest drivers for laptop on the Nvidia site.
  I also removed all the drivers and allowed Windows update to find it's own who have a different version again.

  In these four cases, drivers seem to work fine for a while, but will eventually stop responding and the system crash when I start to play a game.
  It happens shortly after the start of a game and other times it can happen after a few hours of game play.
  Sometimes it will result in a blue screen, sometimes the game will change from windows with the error message on the display driver does not.

  I also did a clean installation using my own copy of Windows 7 with the amount of the absolute minimum of software installed to rule anything that might cause a conflict which was preinstalled.

  I also tried to run to run the game in compatibility mode, although I had no problem with my laptop last run the game in Windows 7.

  The windows event log always indicates a problem with the graphics.

  Did someone else has similar problems or found a solution?
  For a laptop that is announced for the game, I would have thought that this kind of thing would not be a problem.

  Hey,.

  In my opinion, it has something to do with the display driver or the graphics card itself I always use the most recent display of the official website of Toshiba (NOT nvVidia) driver because they are pre-tested. If you install the latest driver from Toshiba.

  After this also make sure that you use the latest version of the BIOS. You can download on the official website of Toshiba too.

  I put t know how long you have your laptop, but it should be cleaned from time to time (3-4 months). Therefore, you can use jet of compressed air to blow off the dust.

  Check it!

• Satellite A500-138 'unknown device' in Windows 7

  Hi all

  I am the owner of a Satellite A500-138 - Part Number: PSAM3E - 013014H 2.
  I just finished the upgrade of the o/s from the horrible vista to Windows 7 Ultimate 64. Update was smooth. Drivers and utilities were easily on your website and install it correctly. Almost everything seems to beworking OK...
  I find myself with 2 numbers:

  1. the watch still an "unknown device" Device Manager
  Details of the device shows hardware IDs of ACPI/ENE0200 and * ENE0200
  What is this and where can I find the driver?

  2. I can't find the Manager of LAN/WLAN cool utility that came with vista.

  Thanks in advance,

  Friend

  Hi friend,

  Have you checked the device ID and the unknown device provider? You can check in the properties of the device.
  Maybe it s Bluetooth adapter if your laptop is equipped with such a

  Regarding the WLAN tool, I think you mean ConfigFree. You can download it on the Toshiba site. Maybe the version of Vista also works on Windows 7.

  Good luck! :)

• Why my computer crash when I play Minecraft?

  Why my computer crash when I play minecraft?

  Original title: the computer crashes

  To allow someone to help you, you must provide additional information.

  For example:

  -How and when it crash (i.e. it just do not start, or the game starts and then crashes to the desktop, etc.).

  -Are there exact error messages or error codes?

  -What are the specifications/brand/model of your PC (RAM/CPU/GPU, etc.)

  If the game is designed for an earlier version of Windows (e.g. Windows XP) have you tried compatibility mode to see if it works OK. Or try to install the game via this mode as well.

  In the meantime, does that help? (found through a search fast V forum)

• Satellite A500-138 - battery gets smaller when it is off

  Hello!

  I recently bought the A500-138 and I noticed that if the computer turns off for more than half a day the battery power is lower.
  For example, after 2 days when the computer does not work at all the battery starts to 88%.

  It it normal or there is a problem with the battery?

  Thank you.

  Hello!

  I n t have any new Satellite A500, but on my Satellite A300, I got the same problem battery gets low when it was off.

  After searching a bit here in the forum, I founded that I disable the Wake-On-LAN feature in the BIOS. In addition, I recommend disabling the function USB Sleep & Charge you can find also in the BIOS.

  It works for you too?

  Good bye

• Satellite L775-119 crashes when loading

  I had my L775-119 Satellite in 2011. Recently, I noticed that it will crash when I am in charge when started in Windows, especially when video plays online, when I unplug the charger, the fan slows down and act normal.

  I think that Windows may need wiping and re - install, its seems to do it when I'm trying to do too much multitasking, one had the same problem or can offer advice please?

  Thanks David

  I m confused about your message.
  When the laptop stick? Only when the AC adapter is connected or also when running on battery?

  Since this is not clear to me if it's a software or a hardware related issue, I recommend you test the laptop using factory settings. I mean that you should retrieve the laptop to factory state using the recovery disk.

  Run a few tests and post comments.

• Satellite A500-138 - lighting buttons does not work even in the BIOS

  Hello.

  I'm just curious to know if anyone else has a problem with the (play/pause excatly) multimedia keyboard backlight? Mine died today, and there is nothing I can do to make it work again.

  The key still works, but when I turn on the backlight, backlight on everyone, but the play/pause (the backlight of the other keys work, touchpad and Satellite logo too).

  I use Windows 7, but the problem persists even in the BIOS.

  I think the backlight of the button is just dead.

  I have to admit I'm really disappointed with this laptop. Config is great, design and are also involved, but I can just take the couine noise that makes C2D (RMClock, one utility, I know that to solve this problem, does not recognize the A500 motherboard) and the fan almost never works to 70%, and now that the backlight...

  If the backlight of the multimedia key stops working after 3 weeks of use, which will be in the future? It's too scary to think ;)

  I was really excited by Toshiba, but day after day I come to the conclusion, that it is the first and the last laptop that I bought at Toshiba - never had similar problems on other laptops, same nonames.

  Of course, I know that I can has sent for fix, I guarantee (and wait about a month to get a backlight fixed stupid). But why hell not the backlight stoped working, if LEDs vitality is long as hell? It can mean two things: I really don't have a chance, or Toshiba did not pay too much attention to detail during production A500s. And after 3 weeks of use, I fear that the second option is much more likely...

  Then, someone has a feeling similar to this topic? And someone has a problem with backlight?

  Hello

  He damage of s to hear that your light has stopped working, but I think that it s just a software problem.
  I have a Satellite A500 equipped with buttons of enlightenment and everything works great with Vista and XP I m very satisfied.
  Unfortunately until that yet I didn't test with Win 7.

  I doubt you want to send this laptop for ASP, as I said, there seems to be a software problem and you can find it easily
  You must set the notebook to factory settings I mean that you must use the recovery disc in order to get the same State as on the first day of purchase

  Moreover, I visited the European driver of Toshiba page and, unfortunately, I didn't see no Win 7 drivers for this series at this time
  I guess that Windows 7 drivers will be released in the near future.
  So I wonder how you came to the button illumination because this feature requires the Toshiba driver and tools as well as the drivers aren't there?  :|

• 12.5.1 iTunes crashes when you play on AirPlay

  Hi all...

  Since the 12.5.1, update any when I play music over the airtime to one of my devices AirPlay after ten minutes or so, iTunes hangs on my iMac. I have had three accidents on three times when I played the music in this way, since the update.

  Of course, I could use some advice on how to approach this. It is even possible to go back to my old iTunes?

  Furthermore, I played music over airtime all the time before the update with iTunes ever crashing. In addition, a few anecdotes:

  • iMac is connected to an Airport Extreme via Ethernet
  • Airport Extreme is plugged into an Ethernet hub
  • The Airplay device is a Pioneer receiver, connected on the same hub Ethernet (two different Pioneer receivers in two different places)

  Hello Brent,.

  Thank you for your participation in the communities of Support from Apple.

  I see that iTunes is leaving after an update when you play songs to AirPlay devices. Let's try some troubleshooting steps to help isolate and resolve the cause of the error.

  If you haven't done so already, don't forget to restart your network devices and receivers of the AirPlay. For AirPort Extreme, I suggest a "soft reset" for now as mentioned in resetting an airport station base FAQ.

  Then try the AirPlay test in safe mode and a new account on your Mac user. The following steps can help to eliminate software conflicts in your user account and can give us an indication of the additional troubleshooting steps to try then.

  You can use this Support article as a guide to complete both of these steps-How to test one question in another user on your Mac account.

  When it comes to tests in a new user, you need to import a few songs in iTunes for testing library. Here are some links to help with the signing in music Apple or download past purchases:
  

  Download your latest purchases

• Satellite A500 - mousepad crashes whenever I go on the internet

  Hi all

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A500 and every time I go on the internet my mouse pad freezes. The only option I have is to restart the computer again. This is getting very frustrating because I don't know what to do?
  If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  See you soon

  Karen.

  Hello, Karen

  To be honest I have never heard of something like this and you believe one with this strange issue.
  I would like to know since when you noticed this? I can't imagine that this problem persists since the first day.
  You have an original preinstalled operating system?

  I guess the first step can be updated to BIOS. Latest version of the BIOS is installed on your laptop satellite?

  Oh
  And in January I was the official representative of the Romania of Toshiba computers Scoop and they told me that I have no records of my laptop and I can't use the 'anything' guarantee
