• 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! :)

• Oh, the irony? High DPC latency with idle CPU - gives more stable, more low-latency DPC CPU usage 100%

  Just like in the title,

  I tried everything, disabling components, elimination of most of my RAM, update BIOS and loading failsafe and optimized defaults, etc. - and one thing I noticed is that Prime95 running x 64 on all hearts eliminates the peaks high in 1.2.0 DPC latency checker. Audio stuttering, what original research for corrections me, brought me to DPC latency checker.

  It's really strange that the 100% CPU usage would cause the DPC latency stabilize (mine hovers around 350-450 microseconds in the full use of the CPU, but in use slowed parameters or moderate apparently something causes a DPC peak at ~ 4100us max).

  Let me know if you figured it out!

  Hi Frankie,

  We understand that you too met the same scenario as this 6 year old thread. Some resolutions are always topical, while others are no longer applicable due to constant updates and corrections in the course of the last years.

• Is satellite A500-1DN - possible to adjust the fan speed?

  Is it possible to adjust the speed of the fan of this laptop? As I saw in PC Health monitor the fan speed is mainly of 0%, and sometimes it amounts to 70% (on idling) and quite large making noise.
  I wish to address is it permanently on.

  Is this possible?

  Hello

  > Is it possible to adjust the speed of the fan of this laptop? As I saw in PC Health monitor the fan speed is mainly of 0%, and sometimes it amounts to 70% (on idling) and make a big enough noise

  I agree with you, I also own a500-1dn and it makes big noise even while surfing Internet. This forum was suggested to update Bios to reduce the fan noise.

• 6735 s his stuttering, high DPC latency

  6735 s aged 8 months.

  A month ago I started to notice the audio stuttering in video to download websites such as youtube. The problem tends to appear after about an hour of computer use / navigation. Recently, however it has started to affect the mpg and mp3 files played locally on my hard drive. The problem is much worse that a download is in progress (i.e. any download, the media files not only). I ran a DPC latency checker that I found on the web and I found that when I'm browsing or downloading files DPC latency goes through the roof.

  About a week before I first noticed this problem I have updated graphics drivers from ATI (Catalyst v9.8, then recently v9.10), so I think it has something to do with it.

  I tried to disable the WIFI / network cards, bluetooth, USB, CDROM drive, ATI drivers uninstall audio drivers, firewall, antivirus, killing all the processes that are unnecessary in the Manager of tasks etc. Only a reboot will solve the problem (for an hour or two before returning)

  Does anyone else have this problem? It drives me nuts having to restart my computer for all hours.

  Update: turns out the culprit being the ZoneAlarm firewall. I had heard of people having problems with the COMODO firewall, so I tried to uninstall ZoneAlarm and all is well again. Note must be a uninstall complete, just disable or turn off ZoneAlarm was not enough.

  See you soon.

• Satellite A500-025 - high and loud fan with some vibrations

  MY new Toshiba has its fan cooling at the top with a vibration when I turn on the computer first.
  After about a minute the fan speed goes down as does the noise and vibration of the fan.

  Y at - it a bios upgrade or adjustment on the A500-025 to prevent this?
  It almost looks like when you first turn it on, the fan setting is high then then adjusts.

  Thank you.

  > Y at - it a bios upgrade or adjustment on the A500-025 to prevent this?
  > It seems that when you first turn it on, the fan setting is high then then adjusts.

  This happens in my portable fans too and as much as I know there is nothing unusual
  This does not happen always, but each time when the laptop fell very long and if the temperature is higher

  I think that fans run faster for a few seconds to release the dirt among the cooling modules and calibrate the speed once again
  I wouldn't be worried is this fan behaviour maintained only for a few seconds

• Satellite A500-1DN (PSAR3E) - Dead BIOS after flashing

  Hi all.
  First of all, sorry for my English.

  My problem is simple, I have a bios dead after flashing Toshiba service station (or something like that).

  How it happened? : 4 days ago, it asked me to update. It was for me quite normal because she asked for updates on a daily basis. I enablished day and after a few cliks on button then I noticed it has been updated to BIOS and is almost in half. I wanted to wait to the end (because I know if I stop uptade of bios, I end up with dead bios (bios corrupted)) but collapsed almost at the end and he showed me a few errors. After that my laptop did a restart and I couldn't stop it. He died.

  Now, if I push the power button / stop I get a screen black (as it is off) som LED turns on and the Cpu fan to perhaps 10%.

  What I did the last 3 days? : I searched all the residents on what to do with it. I tried maybe 10 types out crisdisks with usb and CD (with floppy isn't becose Bios for my laptop is too big for 1 floopy).
  I tried to start with FN + B this has worked for me CD player began to search for CDs, USB key showed activity, but dead end happened nothing. I tried to make the Boot usb with the latest minidos.sys and phlash16.exe. I tried to combinate but still nothing.
  I tried everything I found on internet forums around. Nothing helps.
  Another thing is that only bios I found was 1.90. If anyone has an older bios for my laptop pls give me a link. I'm losing hope becose I can not find anithing on google.
  I am an advenced user I almost did this medication with the pc, but I've never worked with dead bios.

  Pls someone help me and give me a correct crisdisk for my model. Or another sugestion.

  Hello

  Sorry, mate, but you should contact the http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/generic/ASP_SUPPORT/ ASP.

  Unfortunately, the warranty does not cover failure of the bios and you will have to pay about US $ 50-60 (anyway, it costs like that in my service center)

• Blue screen appears on the Satellite A500-1DN - BCCode 116

  Hi all!

  I have a problem with the blue screen:

  BCCode: 116
  BCP1: FFFFFA8007B833E0
  BCP2: FFFFF88004C1DF90
  BCP3: FFFFFFFFC000009A
  BCP4: 0000000000000004
  OS version: 6_1_7600
  Service Pack: 0_0
  Product: 768_1

  I have reistalled drivers but nothing :/
  What is the problem with my computer?

  Hi mate

  I have read a lot about the BSOD and BCCode 116.
  Some have said that this is the problem could be related to the graphics card driver
  Some others have said it could be a RAM problem

  I recommend you to remove/uninstall the graphics driver and use the graphics card driver Win 7 by default for testing purposes.

  You should also check if your BIOS is up to date.
  If this is not the case, do an update.

• Windows Xp on Satellite A500

  Hello

  I bought a computer laptop satellite A500-1Dn and want to install Windows Xp as a second operating system. Can I do it?
  Thank you.

  Hello

  Yes, you can install Windows Xp on your computer, but there is no driver available for Windows Xp on the Toshiba driver page. So, this procedure is unnecessary. You can use the Vmware program, it is a virtual machine, and there, you can install Windows Xp environment.
  And be sure to burn a recovery disk, don't delay!
