• Satellite A660-07 s keeps freezing when streaming videos

  I bought a new laptop from Toshiba Satellite A660-07 s recently, since he started to freeze when I use video applications, such as Skype or Youtube, etc... Frost occurs randomly, and the only way out is long by pressing the switch (hunting). I returned the laptop several times for Toshiba certified technician and we almost completely reinstall software and operating system, replace the motherboard, graphics card, memory etc. and the problem is always the case. The laptop is great and does the job very well except for this random gel that is very annoying and there is no way to explain why it is happening.

  I think maybe there is a flaw in the design of the system and components do not work together very well. I also read on a few other issues with laptops satellite which freezes. I use another laptop, and I am a computer scientist. Never had this problem before and can not explain why this laptop freezes in particular. Can anyone shed light on what could be the problem to the technician and users may be able to solve this problem.
  As I said, we have tried all what you would do to eliminate the problem and nothing has worked so far.

  Thanks in advance for your responses and suggestions.

  Hey,.

  I m wondering really that your computer laptop doesn t work properly with video applications. Friend of me has the same laptop and it often use video applications like Skype, Youtube, etc. Also, he'd watch DVD and blu - ray but no problems at all.
  It uses the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba and everything is ok.

  In your case I would ask again authorized service provider what they can do for you. I mean if many parts have been replaced already there must be a solution to your problem and if it of a hardware related problem, you can do anything and you need professional help.

  Perhaps the ASP can get in touch with Toshiba directly or else just talk a bit with them, I m sure that the problem could be solved.

  Sorry that I can't say more, but the A660 from my friend is the perfect job.

• 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! :)

  This isn't the first problem iv met before with this laptop and in each case, I had to restore to factory, removing everything.

  Hi mate

  Have you noticed a higher temperature while the laptop freezes?

  From my own experience, a higher temperature may affect the functionality of the laptop and can lead to portable gel.
  Also a RAM could be affected by the higher temperature.

  You can clean the cooling modules using compressed air spray it maybe helps
  .
  Of course, the problem might be related to a software problem display maybe driver malfunctions. In such cases, it s advisable to reinstall the operating system and update the display driver.

• Equium A200-1V0 keeps freezing

  Hi guys

  I hope that someone can help you. I have a toshiba satellite A200-1V0 which keeps freezing. I'm trying to reload the operating system, but it won't because it freezes. All I can do is power and then turn on the laptop...

  I tried the new hard drive and memory module, but the problem persists. To test if it is overheating, I left the laptop for 24 hours in the BIOS, but it froze so I am well and truly stumped?

  Anyone has any idea what this could be?

  Thank you

• Satellite 1100: Excel keeps freezing - too low virtual memory

  I have a satellite 1100. My Microsort Excel program keeps freezing (mainly when I print or you are trying to save) and then tells me to stop.

  So, I also have a message icon telling me that I am low on virtual memory. Microsoft stop related to memory being low?

  How can I increase the memory? Or do I just need a new laptop! Help, please.

  Hello

  Satellite 1100 is really an old classic, but he should be able to use common desktop applications such as Word or Excel with no problems
  Virtual memory also known under the name a paging file is a file on your disk (default C:\pagefile.sys) than Windows applications and use more physical memory (RAM) according to your needs. The default and the recommended of pagefile.sys size is 1.5 times the amount of physical memory. Virtual memory is the amount of physical memory and the pagefile. So, if your computer has 512 MB of RAM, there is a page file 768 MB by default, for a total of 1.25 GB of physical + virtual memory.

  So what to do in your case? Generally, the RAM upgrade should solve this problem. You can also try to increase the size of the pagefile.sys.
  This can be done in system-> tab advanced properties-> Performance settings-> advanced-> virtual memory change tab.

  After the change of virtual memory, you have to restart the laptop again.
  If this will not help then an upgrade of RAM would be required or a new laptop effective ;)

• Satellite A660 - 10 X - freezes several times

  Hello

  A few months ago I bought the Satellite A660-10 x. On installed original system it freezes once (I used laptop maybe an hour) but I thought it was an accident, or maybe something was misconfigured. Then I installed the clear disk from Microsoft (Windows 7 Home Premium) system and install only the necessary drivers, but the problem from happening again. At first I thought as this only, when I don't click or move the mouse for over 1 minute, but that for now the problem appears also when I click or write something. I very rarely use this laptop, but as you can imagine it is very annoying and it is that I can not trust this laptop computer and the data on it. Maybe you know what are the causes of the problem or maybe some new drivers have been released to remove this problem?

  I read that not only I have the same problem.

  Best regards

• Satellite A660-12E - freezes with graphical objects

  Hello

  Here's my problem:

  I bought a Satellite A660-12th. Was obtained last Saturday, transported with great caution.

  The problem is that when I use a program dependent CG as a game, the games freezes quickly, even in the menus, with the screen objects, symptom of failure of CG (that happened in the menus of TF2, alien swarm and all playing Plain SIght). When Windows (with aero and transparency), goes on the internet, watching movies, everything is ok. No problem when using 3DSmax and Mudbox, but does not check since the last time the problem happened.
  In addition, the problem does not occur the first time that I start a game. After a long series of the computer (I use a cooling station and check the temperature: never more than 55 ° c) to download a game on steam, for example.

  I tried to install my own version of windows 7 (64 bit professional), updated the cg driver, installed a selection of programs from ninite.com, but the problem is back.

  Since then, I am a student with low resources and worked all summer to get a laptop, I am a little upset. :/
  Anyone has a solution, or should I contact the customer as soon as possible?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Can you explain what CG and CG pilot mean, please?

  I can only tell you that it is important to use the original display driver Toshiba place drivers nVidia because they are pre-tested and overheating protection. So be sure that Toshiba display the most recent driver is installed.

• Satellite A100-225 keeps freezing and crashing with the new HARD drive

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite A100-225 with a 100 GB SATA Hitachi drive I int it that recently started showing bad sectors. Then I bought a Hitachi 320 GB SATA II drive to replace it. I tried the drive and it was recognized right away, so I didn't need to change the SATA speed. I ran the restore a disk installed newest. The problem I have is that the computer keeps freezing and crashing with the new drive. It takes a lot of time to load up when turned on and there is a noticeable to untermittant delay when you drag the cards around solo.

  I tried to run the Hitachi drive test and it comes back fine. I also tried to turn the SATA speed of the drive down from 300 to 150 via the firmware, and although I saw a slight improvement, it is still not right.

  I talked to Hitachi and they say that he could not be 100% compatible, so the problems. Someone at - it else sucessfully set up a replacement for this notebook drive and if so what make and model. Has anyone else had simular problems?

  Thank you

  Years ago, I've updated yet more former Satellite M70 with SATA HDD (270 GB if I m remembering well) and everything was fine.
  In my view upgrade with SATA HDD normal shouldn't be a problem. Do not SATA II because it will not work faster.

  I can't say for sure, but there must be a compatibility problem.

  Let's see if someone else had better luck with the upgrade of the disk on the Satellite A100.

  Have you checked this forum with advanced search option? Maybe you can find some old NET on upgrade the HDD on A100.
