Satellite A500-1GG - controller Nvidia keeps crashing

I recently bought a Satellite A500-1GG, and I've had this problem more than once now. Firstly, the screen freezes, then goes black, and then it turns back to normal, saying the controller has crashed and restarted. Can someone tell me how to solve this problem?

Who knows what that you made or installed the last days.
You have this problem on the first day?
Do you use factory settings (laptop preinstalled by Toshiba)?

Have you installed some games?
This happens sporadically or in a certain situation to you?
Have you tried to reinstall the display driver?

Have you tried even anything to make it work properly again?
Hey can man you write more than two sentences?

  • Satellite A500 - 1EE display driver keeps crashing

    My display driver on your laptop A500 - 1EE crash now since I bought it.

    Uninstalled the driver, rebooted, reinstalled... his problem persists, every two days, and even 2 times a day, he breaks down, but recovers immediately after.

    Please help, because I don't want to send it in for service just for that.

    Hello

    This is a typical problem for series a500 freezing and crashing. I'm also owner of A500-1dn, had the same problem who had disappeared after the update of a map graph to nvidia.com. But you know, this driver is not pretested by Toshiba and use it at my own risk.

  • Satellite A500-1GG (PSAR9E) loses 5-7% of battery in standby mode

    My fully charged Satellite A500-1GG loses about 5-7% in stop for like 24 hours.

    A similar question was already posted, but it is now locked. The solution he had to disable the "wake-ups", but I disabled them (BIOS v1.50) and I still have this problem (I think we can call it a problem). Imagine the accusation that he would lose if it has been disabled for a week...

    Is this considered normal? If not, is there one solution other than the one posted before?

    It's normal. The same thing on my Satellite A300. When I turn off and there all night off and not connected to the power running on next day it always shows between 88 and 94% battery charge.

    There is nothing unusual and happens on all laptops. Of course, the values are not fixed and a battery loses capacity during the night so that others.

  • Satellite A500 - 1 GB - copy dialog crashes on the eSATA connection

    Hello

    I have trouble when using my Samsung storyboard (1.5 TB, eSata/USB 2.0) with the Satellite A500 - 1 GB (Windows 7 64-bit):

    (a) when you use the connector eSata (preferred):
    The drive is recognized by the system, and I can read the directory information. But I cannot copy or play the disc. The copy dialog box freezes quickly and cannot be terminated easily.

    (b) when you use the USB connector:
    It is also recognized by the system, but copy and read operations take ages - I have tried to make a backup of the system, but cancelled after 5 hours.

    The drive works fine with another PC (also Windows 7 x 64), so the drive itself should be ok.

    I've updated satellite drivers today (BIOS, chipset and responsible storage), but this did not improve the situation at all.

    The question is probably, due to the 150 versus Protocol SATA 300 SATA? A500 - 1 GB does support SATA 300 (SATA 2) or just SATA 150 (1 SATA)? Is there a specific SATA driver (Intel?) I might give a try? Where could I check who is currently SATA-used protocol?

    Or do you have other clues on how I could solve this problem?

    Best regards
    Waschlappen

    Hello

    Theoretically, your external hard drive eSATA connection could be defective so have you tested the USB connection only on your other PC or eSATA too?
    In addition, you should test another cable, I had a USB cable, did the same problem and after Exchange of cable, everything was ok.

    There is no special driver for it on the eSATA connection. I think that it s part of the chipset driver for reinstall the chipset driver could also be helpful.

  • Satellite A500-1GL - Driver NVIDIA GeForce GT300m for Windows 7 32 bit

    Hi, I'm French, I bought this phone 2 weeks ago, and I did a new install of Windows7 32 bit.
    I'm looking for the display driver (for my Nvidia GeForce GT 300 m), but the only one I found is for Windows 7 64 bit :'(

    Do you know if Toshiba will realease a driver? Do I need a specific driver for my laptop? Or can I install the nvidia official driver (when they go out there)?

    Thank you

    Ivan

    Hello Ivan,.

    I checked the Web from Toshiba site and you concerning the right of no display driver for Windows 7 32 bit. :(

    But I think you can use the display to another series of Toshiba laptop driver. I checked the site Web of Toshiba for Satellite P500, you can find a Windows 7 64-bit display driver, and they are also equipped with nVidia graphics cards.
    Check this driver, it should work!

    Hello

    Try to reinstall a graphics driver, if it does not. You can download from nvidia.com, but you use it at your own risk. I haven't installed a month ago since this time no BSOD, freezing, crashing...

  • Satellite A500-1GF - Nvidia display driver restarts constantly

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A500-1GF with the latest Nvidia drivers installed and it the driver crashes constantly. It gives a black screen, a pop-up message and then restarts the driver. After a few minutes it happens again.

    Type of card is Nvidia GeForce GT 330 M
    257.21 driver
    Windows 7 64 bit

    Google gives me hundreds of visits but no solution.

    Someone at - it an idea?

    TX,

    Roel

    Hey Buddy,

    > 257.21 driver
    That s not an official version driver Toshiba. The new version of driver for your Toshiba laptop screen is 8.16.11.8875.

    You must install this driver because it s pretested by Toshiba.

    Furthermore, I have read in the forum that the latest display driver Toshiba could solve the problem.

  • 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 A500-19U - games crashes after 3 Min then only connected to the power adapter

    Heys guys. I got my new Satellite A500-19U and install it on some games like COD4, Batman, Assasin Creed and many

    All of these games crashes & freezes after 3-5 Min & gimmea the screen black or white and everything happens while pluging adapter to recharge. When you use the battery, it crashes too, but it takes a long time. Some time, he said (the display driver not responding) & sometimes the screen black or white. The only way to recover the laptop is ALT + CTRL + DELETE and kill the game processes.

    The only one that works such fine bit is Battlefield Bad Company 2. Then I change the DirectX (setting.ini) of car in DirectX9.

    SP please any help on this matter. I think it's a video driver or a Windows 7 problem. And the specifications are:

    Processor: Inter Core 2 Due P7450 2.13 GHz
    RAM: 4 GB DDR3
    VGA: Nvidia Geforce G210M [with the driver from Toshiba Site]
    OS: Windows 7 64-bit

    SRY 4 my English: $

    Hi Storm2005,

    A 64-bit Windows 7 preinstalled on this notebook or install it yourself?

    In my opinion, you should check the cooling options in Windows power management. Make sure that it s set for maximum Performance. This means that your laptop will be cooled as much as possible.

    I put t know how long you have this laptop already but maybe that cleaning is also an option.

    In addition, you must install the last page of Toshiba display driver. They are pre-tested and protection against overheating.

  • Satellite A500 Pro keeps freezing

    Help...

    I have a Satellite A500. It keeps freezing.

    Sometimes it will boot when turned on, but then as soon as I select a program to open, it freezes.
    I can't do anything. I can't control alt delete to open the Task Manager. The only thing I can do is to turn off the power.
    So when I turn it back on, it asks me to start in safe mode, I say yes, but the same thing happens.

    Sometimes it starts and you can go in outlook and check a few emails and I think it works fine, then it stops and says not responding do not. Then I go to Explorer and the same thing happens.
    I have try the Task Manager, but it will not come to the top.

    So I have to stop again. It's very frustrating.
    I have installed Norton and nothing comes to say there's a virus problem.
    I have no error message, it stops just to work.

    Help, please!

    The same happens when you start in safe mode? Test it please. Play around a bit with a few options or applications.

    Since when did you notice this behavior?
    On this virtual path, it is not easy to say why this is happening. It will be interesting to know how your work laptop with factory so if possible to save all your data and install the new OS by using the original installation disc of recovery.
