• Satellite C660 freezes when WLan connection to WPA encrypted networks

  Hello everyone

  I have a toshiba satellite C660-A259 (Middle East version).
  The laptop is great, but it has a major problem.
  Whenever I try to connect to WPA / WPA2 networks, laptop computer freezes completely during the connection, dragging me to hard it boot.

  Sometimes it connects to wpa networks then hangs after some time, or with success connects but freezes on stop. However, the laptop connects without problems to networks with WEP encryption, without any security or via ethernet networks.

  The wireless network adapter is Atheros AR9002WB-1NG.
  I tried to update the software for the adapter on your support site, but it did not work, he did the wireless not working not at all, so I used sytem restore to return to normal.

  Please help and thanks :)

  Can you please tell us what is normal? Is the State of natural plant or perhaps you use your own installation of the OS?

• Satellite C660 freezes and can disable it

  My laptop is Satellite C660D with windows 7.

  I had for a month when it started freezing 3/4 minutes after I logged on, being completely insensitive with the keyboard does not not or ctrl + alt + del or the touchpad, so the only thing I could do was to disable it.
  The freezing happened whenever I was on my laptop, I used system restore my laptop back to factory conditions, and he stopped freezing. It was in June, now it started to do exactly the same thing, he has done it before, freezing and be unresponsive!

  My laptop does not freeze in safe mode, no one knows what is the problem and why it continues to freeze a month after my laptop as long as the factory restore?

  Thank you

  On this virtual path, that it is not possible to provide accurate diagnosis but it must be a software related issue. perhaps is this freezing problem related to some software you have installed or perhaps Microsoft updates.

  What you can do is to start your computer in safe mode, and then set the startup option. With other words to define what applications, utility tools aor should start with Windows 7.

  Please after THAT or the instructions of THIS do. Remove check box before all the software not associated with Toshiba and that is completely useless (can be started also).

• Satellite C50B freezes at startup after update BIOS to 5.10

  Hello
  I updated the BIOS of my Satellite C50 - B - 14 d (PSCMLE) to 5.10 (a final release early sept. 2015).
  The update succeeded, and the laptop runs as long as I do not install the drivers for the card WiFi (Atheros AR9485).
  If I try to install the driver (it does not matter which, those of the Toshiba website or those of the manufacturer, of), the laptop crashes before the end of the installer.
  Installing drivers from Device Manager makes the laptop freeze on when Windows starts (I tried 7, 8.1, and 10).
  Completely on the Windows logo screen it freezes, and I have to turn off it.

  In addition, the wired network adapter is not detected (it does not appear in Device Manager).
  The same question is described here (http://www.eightforums.com/general-s...ses-start.html), but no solution.

  Any suggestion? The BIOS may be downgraded? The BIOS update utility does not Flash an older version.

  Thank you!

  Hi indutry,

  I also have exactly the same problem since updating my BIOS to 5.10 with my Toshiba C50 - B - 14 d PSC MLE

  I have to start windows in safe mode without network to disable the Atheros AR9485 before restarting again in normal mode.
  I now have to use an external WiFi adapter as my LAN port is now also lack!

  Upset that the BIOS update has broken all my embedded network on the laptop.

  I tried to update the Atheros drivers to the latest version, but as soon as the device is turned on again the system crashes and we're back to square one.

  There is no solution that I can find other than turning off the unit and live without built in WiFi + LAN.

  I hope Toshiba can be remedied with a new BIOS update?

• New Satellite C850 freezes at startup

  only has this laptop Satellite C850 for a few weeks and have not installed any software apart from a landing Mcfee and the installation of Avast virus checker.

  Now, it freezes without response touchpad when he opens a session.
  I updated the machine having been finally able to use F12, once it begins, not a simple gesture, he always behaves as before.

  I used the toshiba support area to inform them of this situation, but are still waiting for a response after having heard nothing in the past 36 hours. Are these any good people?

  They seem very far from the service that I received from Acer when I need help. I prefer to use e-mail rather than phone calls.

  Thanks for any help... I pressume it's a hardware problem

  Hi Martin

  On this virtual path, it is not easy to say why this is happening. It happens all of a sudden, or when you perform a specific operation?

• Satellite C660D freezes after startup

  Hi all
  I've had my C660D for a couple of years now without any major problems arise. However, a few days ago I turned on all normal loading (the office completely), but the fan became very strong and the laptop froze and was insensitive.

  He continues to repeat this problem, it is usable for the best part of 2 minutes and then freezes again. I have managed to do the system restore and even taken apart to clear the fan on, but the problem still persists. I tried safe mode, but still get the same problem.

  Help, please!
  Thank you

  Hmm recommends to test the laptop as part of new memory modules.
  It might be possible that the gel is related to the problem of memory.

  Also a high temperature may cause issues such as
  If you didn t clean cooling in the past fans, do so using the jet of compressed air.

• Satellite C660 - TouchPad freeze at startup

  Hi I'm new and this is my first post so please be gentle!

  I have a Satellite C660 with windows 7 purchased as a refurb factory it is my 1st laptop, I have a problem after startup, and everything loaded on my desktop, it seems that if I use my TouchPad too early it freezes, he did it since I bought it, but I thought it was me being not used to a touchpad and the "bloatware" to start is the only way I can get the pointer to move if I have a finger from the top to the bottom of line scrolling to the right of the TouchPad horizontally or diagonally, it moves very slowly until I can be open and close a browser window, the file or even the startup window, then it will then act as usual and do not freeze again for my entire session If I leave it for five minutes at the start, it works fine, sometimes it will freeze also out of standby or hibernation, but not always.

  OK, I thought maybe it was the necessary driver update I checked in Device Manager and it said it was working properly but that of course is when the pointer is as it should be, in the Device Manager if I pilot of the touchpad/driver/update and internet search it tells me I have the drivers updated If I choose to search for a driver on my computer/let pick me from a list of device drivers that I have the following:-

  Mouse Compatible PS/2
  Synaptics PS/2 Port Compatible TouchPad
  Synaptics PS/2 Port Compatible TouchPad
  Synaptics PS/2 Port TouchPad

  I should have all those showing? can someone with a file of similar specifications check that for me please?

  strange thing is that if I go to TouchPad properties via the taskbar, and then click driver all options except the driver Details are grayed out and done, I can open two windows of TouchPad properties from the device and the task bar manager and have them on the screen at the same time.

  Some things I should mention are a mouse in the usb works fine, I stopped a lot of the "bloatware" and would help the useless stuff running at startup, hoping that I have disabled the function of locking of the click on the TouchPad, sound as it needs to be "warmed up" to run correctly when running properly it works fine without problem as the laptop came pre installed and only Disc I have is the recovery one create you the initial Setup!
  Any help would be appreciated!

  Hello

  First of all, I don t think that this problem is related to the installed touchpad driver but if you wish, you can install the latest touchpad driver available from the European driver Toshiba.

  Visit the European driver Toshiba page and choose:
  Computer laptop Satellite Satellite C series Satellite C660 driver Touchpad

  Now you should get all the touchpad driver available for C660 series.
  I found the driver for the touchpad Synaptics for Win7 32 bit and 64 bit.
  The latest version seems to be v15.2.11.1

  I think you should go to Panel of-> Software
  Check here if Synaptics touchpad driver appear in the list of installed software.
  If so, uninstall the present.
  Then, download and install the Synaptics v15.2.11.1 driver

  The touchpad settings could be changed in Control Panel-> mouse-> tab advanced-> button Advanced.

• Cannot load Windows 7 - Satellite C660 guard freezing

  Hello world.

  This is a biggy. I have a Toshiba AMD Vision Satellite C660 / C660D laptop without Windows installation disc. Last week, it has become very slow, the interface resembles that of the interface of safe mode, then finally, he became completely unresponsive, therefore, through F8 on start-up I selected the option to return to the factory settings (I have this option)

  The BACK screen appeared and started normal loading then who responded, then I rebooted only to see Windows starts for the first time and carry the load, before that I had to create a cd boot from my other laptop to reboot the system that I had lost the boot mngr.

  The last part of the installation process begins whereby a white Toshiba screen appears with a green progress bar which is responsible for some drivers (see attachment). There are 39 steps to this process and I remember before the computer should keep restart itself, but it keeps freezing after about two steps. I kept turning it off and eventually the locked system administrator accounts.

  Once more, I restarted the PC, but this time in safe mode, the operating system did in fact load in safe mode and I created a few new accounts with administrator privileges, however, I still cannot load all of the operating system because it keeps freezing during the last part of the process.

  I have very limited knowledge of loading operating systems, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  First of all, it was a big mistake NOT to create a recovery disk Toshiba.
  The recovery of HARD drive that you were able to start pressing F8, is only possible if the HARD drive is not defective.
  I think in your case I think that there is something wrong with the HARD drive because there was a Bishop of startup notification which means that this laptop can not find a boot manager to boot the system.

  I have no other idea about trying to reinstall the system using the Toshiba Recovery disk or another drive in Windows 7 (of course if you have one)
  If the recovery fails, you will need to investigate on how much material could be affected. I think in this case it of needed to start with HARD disk check.
  Possibly the HARD drive needs to be replaced. Of course it is possible that I m wrong part is affected, but at the first step you should check the new installation of the OS.

  A recovery disc can be ordered here:

  Laptop freezes at random times while playing Football Manager 2011. The game is not graphics intensive and worked for about a month with no problems, just recently it started to freeze, and the only thing I can do is to turn off my laptop by the power button.

  I am at a loss to explain what is happening.

  Help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

  Hey Buddy,

  > The game is not graphics intensive and worked for about a month without any problems, has recently started to freeze
  This could mean that the laptop is overheating
  The reason for overheating is the dust that blocks the fan for laptop gets hotter

  I recommend to clean using a jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans. You can do it without disassembling the computer so it is very easy and takes only 5 minutes.
  Just remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter before doing this.

  For example I clean my laptop every 4 months because a lot of dust is coming so it s worth it.

• Satellite C660-1NX freezes while stop after a new install of Win 7

  Hello!

  The first sorry for my English, I'm Spanish and use a translator.

  I have a Satellite C660-1NX (PSC1LE-00F00NCE), I had to reformat the computer, put on a clean Windows 7 64 x (no recovery) with all the original drivers giving the official page of Toshiba.

  Everything seems perfect, but when turn off the computer is frozen, I thought it was x 64 and x 86 and install the same, straight day, then started the same problem, eh update of the BIOS, as used before formatting it didn't happen, it's very weird.

  I find that the reason for the problem never happened to any computer that.

  Best regards

  and what happen when you install the system using the recovery disk?
  The laptop is too cold?

  I doubt that someone will be able to say why the unit does not close properly.
  First of all, I think its necessary to find out if its hardware or software problem.

  In the case where its software related issue, the recovery disc that contains the image of configured Toshiba should fix this annoying problem.

• Satellite C660 - mouse freezes for seconds

  The mouse on my Satellite C660 is driving me crazy. As well as the functions I put t use, it hangs for seconds every time after passing on. I got to plug a USB mouse, which seems to stabilize on a Clipboard as well.

• Satellite C660-2EF - error at startup what is PXE - E61 media test failure

  Hi there im wondering if anyone can help with this question, coming from the old computer school where it was a pain in the back to fix things, but you knew kind where you were, I don't know where I am!
  I mean, why the hell / modern machine manufacturers make it harder to sort out the problems! ???

  I DOWNLOADED them a FEW PICTURES ON MY WEB site (to use the space!) the address is my own and there is no questionable content or threats out there so feel free to take a look to see if you can help!

  my old toshiba satellite c660-2ef decided at the United Nations 10 months to recognize the HARD drive itself and after checking bindings cables and a good visual check, I went as far as buying a new SSD to replace the old drive as his is dead, it does not work either.

  Toshiba dear this is a stupid way to package, a laptop without disc or recovery and I'm without a copy of manufacturers of windows 7 to my laptop, if you ask me its quite half cooked by design and very annoying.

  for the good people of this forum can leave please quickly answers that can help as im sighing myself to death here!

  I hope I can get it in service again with help!

  > dear toshiba, he is a stupid way to package a laptop without disc or recovery and I'm without a copy of manufacturers of windows 7 to my laptop, if you ask me its quite half cooked by design and very annoying.

  First of all its user forum at
  Second: read operating instructions you will find information on the recovery disc this disc must be created in the first day of buying using the preinstalled software called Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.

  > my old toshiba satellite c660-2ef decided at the United Nations 10 months to recognize the HARD drive itself and after checking bindings cables and a good visual check, I went as far as buying a new SSD to replace the old drive as his is dead, it does not work either.

  Not all SSD drives are compatible it might be a BIOS<->SSD drive compatibility issue but its certainly NOT BIOS corruption as you suggested.
  Sometimes, manufacturers of SSDS offer an update of the firmware of SSD
  If these updates does not resolve the SSD drive, try another disc SSD
  But in general the disk SATA SSD or HDD must be supported.

  > How the hell can I reinstall windows on my pc without a disc of recovery and now theres absolutely nothing on my HARD drive?

  You need a recovery disk you didn t he created in the past please order it here:

• Satellite C660 - Freez after boot - corrupt BIOS update 1.7

  The Satellite C660 had start-up problems: freezing screen after startup and very, very slow. Also a HARD drive recovery did not help.

  I tried an update of the Bios and loaded the downloadable file that at Toshiba (version 1.7). The Bios update has not completed and now the laptop does not at all.

  The warranty is void, I now buy a chip of bios in China and I'm looking for now the bios file.

  It's all them very disappointing and a large size of time and money.

  > The Bios update has not completed and now the laptop does not at all.
  That s it Plains really looks like the module ROM was not properly flashed.
  I think it's a problem with the hardware, since you had problems before the update of the BIOS.
  I think that affected the procedure for updating the BIOS.

  > As the warranty is cancelled, I now buy a chip of bios in China and I'm now looking for the bios file.
  Forget it mate ROM module cannot be replaced in most cases the module ROM must be flashed with a disc of crisis

  Would recommend asking a Toshiba ASP for help and reflash the BIOS using the disc of the crisis.
  This should not be very expensive
