• Satellite A660-07U freezes when Streaming video

  I bought a Toshiba satellite A660 07U 2 months ago.
  Since the beginning, when I try to watch any video streaming of Facebook, Youtube, etc, my system crashes completely and don't stop making the zzzzz... noise and I have to manually shut down the laptop by pressing the power button.

  This happens very often now. I contacted toshiba support and the response was to change my microphone amplifier, configure Volume settings... : smileysurprised:.

  Does anyone have advice for this problem?

  Hello

  This only happens for internet streaming videos or have you noticed that also play videos stored on the HARD drive?
  Could it be linked to the internet connection is slow?

  If this isn't the case, then I would check the processes running in the background. Some processes may insist on the CPU, and this might be the reason of this gel.

  Just an another idea;
  Have you checked a few other graphics drivers? Update the driver and test again.
  I recommend also using actors.

  Good luck

• Satellite A660-07 s keeps freezing

  Last January, I bought a Toshiba portable computer satellite 07 s and it keeps freezing. Mainly, it freezes when commissioning, the awakening of the sleeping and, recently, it started freezing when I unplugged the headset jack.

  I took the laptop in the service desk at the store that I bought it to and they told me to do a system restore, but it has not been working for a long time. I recently took in a second time and he sent me to a Toshiba service center they couldn t find anything wrong with her and sent again and after all that, it was another system restore still didn't solve the problem.

  Now what should I do?

  Hello

  Maybe the Toshiba service agents could not fix it because they could not replicate that gel. The laptop freezes only occasionally and not always. Right?
  Well, that makes it harder and harder.

  Have you checked the HARD drive?
  Check if using a free tool called Drive Fitness Test. This can be downloaded from different pages.
  You can also check the RAM. Of course, I would recommend using new test modules.
  But what to say; This problem may be related to any part of the laptop; It could be a problem software or hardware;
  You said that the setting of the laptop back to factory settings helped for a short time; Well maybe, there is a process or a software that affect the functionality of the laptop

• Satellite A660 - Webcam does not work when using Skype

  I recently bought a Satellite A660-15J. I am running Windows 7 64 bit.

  I have the latest version of Skype (5.3.0.111).

  The integrated Webcam does not work when you run Skype. If I run the Toshiba Web Camera Application the webcam works fine. However, when I test it in Skype, I get a message saying "cannot start video. Try quitting other programs that use the webcam '.

  However, as far as I can tell there no other programs available. I have tried Skype with the Web Camera Application clised & open. I also confirmed that I do run the latest version of the program.

  One of the main reasons we have this laptop is to use Skype video... Help, please.

  Disable webcam application start-up and exit this application before you start Skype.

  I used Skype many different models of laptops, including friends A660 and it worked correctly.

  When you open Skype video settings is listed as default camera USB webcam?

• Satellite A660 - optical driver turns off when burning DVD

  I have a problem with the optical drive of energy saving options that disables the drive while burning.

  I tried all the suggestions mentioned here [http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/Satellite-Laptops-A-Series/Optical-drive-automatically-turns-off-due-to-power-saver/td-p/223654], but it does not help.

  I start at the burn in Ashampoo Burning Studio free, and he seems to be good until the end. When it starts the process of lead-out the popup of the optical signals Drive Power drive is turned off. It's funny because it is still running at the speed of combustion and it will not stop. The reader becomes unresponsive, even I can't the DVD out. Even, that it disappears from the list of devices.

  The only way I thought so far to stop the car and release the DVD is in the shutdown/Hibernate the computer.

  Once the dive starts working again the STRANGE Fn-tab functionality started working and I can turn it on/Off/ejection at will.

  All the burned DVD - s are not valid, and so far I have not managed to burn a single functional DVD.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A660 - PSAW3E with Win7 Enterprise 64-bit.

  Is there a way to fix this? Remove the optical drive power management?

  Hello

  To be honest I have never heard of this issue, but it appears that the optical drive power management is part of the power of Toshiba configuration utility.
  Part of the Toshiba value added package configuration done Toshiba power utility.

  What you can try, for testing purposes, to remove the Toshiba added value of the system package, restart your computer and try to burn DVDs again to see if the same problem will occur again.

  Toshiba value added package contains several tools such as utility cards flash FN so after his withdrawal, you will not be able to use the FN keys. In any case, after that trial, you can download and install Toshiba value added package again.

  I mean, I know what kind of conflict is there, but maybe you should consider it.

• Apple TV (gen 3) freezes when Streaming from iTunes

  I have a third generation Apple TV (latest updates OS) on an airport extreme wireless network 802.11ac. When you try to stream from iTunes (latest) on Mavericks (all patches), many videos can take up to five minutes to start playing, and after playing for twenty or thirty minutes, they "freezing" for anywhere from one minute to five minutes before resuming playback. If I was streaming on the internet, I could understand the delay, but it doesn't have much sense when streaming from a local source.

  What I'm trying to listen to are movies and TV shows that have been downloaded on iTunes. On Apple TV, I select 'Machines' and then select 'Movies' or 'TV Shows' and select the movie or TV show to watch. According to the film or television show, they will be either start immediately or that there may be a delay until five minutes before starting to play.

  I restarted the Apple TV and I checked there is nothing cached on the device, so I don't see where any content downloaded on Apple TV, itself might be forced memory.

  I took my two my edge router and my WiFi network and I can verity that Apple TV is streaming on the computer and not from the internet. I also checked that there are no other consequence WiFi activity (NTP updates, updates to the ASP, etc., but without the use of actual data bandwidth) and I checked that iTunes is the only process that consumes any real network, CPU, or the disk on the computer resources is continuous from. I also checked the other devices on the network are also not any bandwidth real WiFi.

  So I'm puzzled. Any idea what's going on here? Why Apple TV freezes? It is really this poor management of its buffers work? (I find that hard to believe!)

  Any ideas on how to debug this yet? Even better, any ideas how solve this problem?

  Thanks in advance!

  Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

  If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

  -

  You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type CMD in the search box, right-click on CMD. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

  -

  Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To do that click on start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

  `

  When you get your system in good working condition, I invite you to back up your system up to an external hard drive and make it regular periodic updates.

  I hope this helps. Good luck.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

  Thank you for details on the issue.

  Windows may freeze if multiple programs are running at the same time or if Windows is infected by a virus or malware.

  I suggest you to execute the resolution of performance issues and check if that helps.
  Reference:
  Open the troubleshooter of Performance
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-performance-Troubleshooter

  It checks issues that could slow down the performance of your computer, such as how many users is currently connected to the computer and if multiple programs are running at the same time.

  Please also run Microsoft safety scanner to check and remove any viruses or malware that may cause the problem.
  Reference:
  Microsoft safety scanner
  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  I hope this information helps.

• Re: Satellite A660 - 11 M - Random freezing after the installation of recovery

  Hello

  I recently bought an A660 - 11 m, which I was happy for a few months and then it started to crash/freeze randomly in windows. I'd do something and then it just would freeze indefinitely, requiring a second 5 press the power button to turn it off manually. The fan and hard drives would continue to work if he did something, or they wouldn't be if I was not doing something at the time (this has happened four times). After that it's the only thing to do would be to reinstall the entire operating system by using the manufacturers recovery disk. The computer will then work fine for a few days or a few weeks (never more than 2 weeks) and it would be demanding full gel reinstall again. I had reinstall my programs every time but I stopped on the last 2 times and it made no difference.

  After that the computer crashed it would then refuse to boot into windows. It would be still stuck just at the moment where the sign of windows appears. I would like to know that he had crashed as the 4 colored dots appear. The computer would simply wants at this point, continually getting stuck there after the reboot of several manual. Once and only once it booted into windows on its own, but it took almost 30 minutes and the computer is very slow and unresponsive. The computer will sometimes start in safe mode, but it varies. I tried Startup Repair tool and all stages of system restore, but none of these work.

  I got to use Acronis true image10 and creating an image of the system which can then replace the whole computer in all 25mins. This saves me time, rather than wait 2 hours or whatever it is to reinstall the toshiba, but becomes quite ridiculous to have to keep re install every two weeks.

  I also tried to buy a stand-alone copy of windows 7 (while recording an image of the partition of toshiba in the case where I need) I think it might be due to all toshiba programs and other bits and pieces that are installed on the computer - it makes much faster startup, but the computer still crashes the same after awhile.

  I am sure its some ware conflicts or driver pretty hard, but I don't know what.

  Any help please!

  Hi Rob,

  I m also do not know what exactly is the problem and I believe that no one here can say that just because it s just a user to user forum.

  Fact is that if you have already tried restore factory Toshiba recovery disc multiple times, it s not a software or driver issue because it s an image pre-tested by Toshiba.

  I guess it must be a hardware malfunction and therefore, you should contact a service provider for help. Guys can check your laptop and if it of under warranty, the repair is free.

  You can find a list of aspic here:

  Good luck! :)

• Re: Satellite a200. Resetting or freezing when power cord plugged

  Hey,.

  Ive recently had my computer cleaned after that I had problems with it cutting cause of overheating. It allows to cut while loading Vista too I thought only a dust problem.
  However after it has been cleaned professionally and reformat the computer he now always cut while I have the power supply or reductions on when changing the battery to the power source (works great with just battery).

  I have narrowed down to a few options but I just want to see if anyone has useful comments / solutions for fixing.
  1. that I need to update my BIOS. That proves a problem such as this particular model of upgrading the BIOS satellite is not an option to burn to disk and requires a source of energy at the start of the desktop computer.
  2. that one of the sensors is broken and cause interruptions occur when the is not necessary
  3. There is something short circuit when the power source is implemented.

  couple of addition notes what is happening:
  I mean, by resetting the computer just completely stops and restarts ten seconds of the latter.
  If I put the computer to sleep then wake him (even when using battery) it resets.
  When the power supply is on and start, he usually cuts to the same place.

  So any help is appreciated. Sorry if the lay out is hard to understand too, the laptop has so many questions it's hard to link them together. Update ill prob with more problems that I can remember other smaller
  Thank you. :)

  Hello

  Have you tried to reinstall Windows using the Toshiba Recovery disk? Maybe this can help you solve the problem and it s worth a try.
  Check it!

  Furthermore, I would normally say that you need to update the BIOS, but to update the necessary s BIOS you have the AC/DC is plugged in but in your case the laptop freezes.

  So I would try it with factory settings (Toshiba Recovery disk) and if it doesn't work you should go to the authorized service provider nearest. Then, it seems to be a hardware malfunction and the BIOS update is not possible at the moment.

  Good luck!

• Satellite A500 questions (graphics Card freezes when games)

  Hi everyone hope you can help!

  I recently bought my Satellite laptop A500 and I have 2 numbers extremley bad!

  First apparently there is no my model number is PSAM3A-04100E, which turns out to be a Royal in the preverbial right pain when it comes to upgrading to windows 7!

  Second is my major problem,.
  I do a lot of games (sims 3, Callof Duty this kind of thing...) and every time I play I think that wow is the great great great fps and then FREEZE graphics! my summer completely computer hangs and stops without warning signs of lag slowing down or anything like that, and she is constantly!
  I was wondering if anyone else suffers from this problem or if I wait must search for a driver update I searched around but can't seem to find it anywhere.
  I really don't want to take it back to the shop because then I won't have a computer for weeks!

  Any help would be appreciated massively,
  Thank you very much

  Tasman

  > PSAM3A-04100E
  Where you bought your laptop? What is the country of purchase?
  New Zealand, perhaps?
  Please visit http://www.toshiba.com.au/ > New Zealand and you should find your model of laptop there but I can see the Win7 drivers are not available for the moment.

  Next week, I'll get my Satellite A500 and I'll test with Call of Duty 4 and let you know how it works.
  In any case before starting the game stop all unnecessary running process and define the plan of power at full power. Make sure also your laptop can catch its breath and cooling fans are not blocked somehow. Replace also side of your notebook computer on two CD boxes having a greater distance between the laptop and the desktop.

  I hope that everything will be working well.
