Satellite C660 - restart still crashes

Whenever I am asked to restart Windows for the new software updates, or I am trying to get my USB flash memory work (another question :-) my laptop always hangs.)
I get the white blinking cursor at the top left of the screen for a while, then it will stop blinking and does nothing.

If I turn it off then turn it on again-OK, all right.

Is this a known issue? (I'm running Windows 7 btw)

Hello

Known issue? I doubt
I know the Courvite flashing in the upper left corner, but in this case, if something would hurt the system on the HARD drive or the memory modules live

So I think you should first check the system on the HARD disk
First install CCleaner and clean the registry and other junk from the HARD disk
Next, check the HARD disk using the disk tool called HARD Drive Fitness Test (its free)

If you get no results, then it would mean the disc is ok in this case I recommend you to reinstall the OS using the option of HARD drive recovery
If the system still crashes then you must test the new RAM modules

  • Satellite C660 - 2 EV crashed with BSOD and won't start

    My laptop Satellite C660 - 2 EV running Windows 7, without apparent reason crashed to blue screen of death, after which it would not restart.

    I tried to reboot in safe mode with the function keys, but it is the extent of loading: windows\system32\drivers/classpnp.sys and then just sitting there. Different Internet stations, it would appear that there is no definitive answer to this problem. It is recommended to recharge using recovery disks or hidden image.

    I can't access the user manual as it is on the laptop so I've referenced various positions on the internet. I had created for repair and recovery disks when I bought the laptop and so on to different positions, I started my system with the repair disk and the process began.

    Unfortunately, the screens that appeared were different from those in positions and as I don't have access to a manual, I don't know if I'm following the correct procedure.

    Can someone provide me with a PDF for a C660 laptop user manual - 2 EV?

    If someone can advise me how to reload Windows 7?

    Thank you in advance.

    S user guides document can be downloaded from http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_manuals.jsp
    Anyway, if you created the recovery disc please start your laptop and press f12 to get into the boot menu. When menu of startup appears on-screen set recovery disc 1 into the optical disk drive and choose the CD/DVD device as a boot device and press ENTER.

    Installation should start. What you need to do is just follow the menu on the screen. It should be similar as sown on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm

  • Modeling 3D (Sketch Up) programs keep crashing on the Satellite C660 - 28 d

    Hi guys,.

    Obtained the Satellite C660 - 28 d to Christmas as my old laptop was dying on its feet. So far I've had no problems with it, except for when you use a selection of programs, namely Sketch Up and the rhinoceros are two 3D modeling programs. Strangely enough, AutoCAD Revit works great, I have imagined would have been more demanding on the system.

    When Rhino opening he allows me to choose my model before crashing and displaying a message saying "Rhino 4.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close" and with Sketch Up I get again select a model but then a message saying "Google SketchUp has produced a bug splat and needs to close" followed by a similar error report form that never works when I try and send the error. This is happening on SketchUp 8, after having uninstalled and reinstalled SketchUp 8 and then uninstall and install SketchUp 7, all with the same result.

    It has been suggested to me that there is an error with the graphics card and I have to download a driver, but the only driver on the Toshiba site that would make sense to me is the display driver, I have installed and makes no difference.

    Please help me, I need the use of these types of programs for the University.

    Hello

    It is possible to have these problems because of display driver.
    You should maybe contact the software manufacturer and ask for help. Toshiba doesn't third party software support. Software maker has better experience with own product. I presume that what they have tested on different platforms and need to know what can be the problem.

    What is this problem for?
    My laptop is TOSHIBA Satellite C660 - 1 M 0 i3

    Is this a Windows problem?

    Here is a message I received in Windows7forums on this subject but I don't understand what he means, can understand you for me please? e

    * Re: Heeelp! Your computer ran into a problem! *

    These screens generally include a sentence in the screen "fallen on problems." Usually something like Violation of Watchdog DPC (Deferred procedural call) and are often associated with a bad driver and or a power saving state not supported (sleep, hybrid sleep, hibernate, etc.,)

    First of all, make sure that you have the latest drivers from your computer manufacturer and or the individual device manufacturer's Web site. Then consider whether this computer manufacturer includes any software that may be incompatible with Windows 8 CP or is somehow patented conflict with Windows 8 CP in energy saving power scheme options. You may need to experiment a little, maybe remove the proprietary tools or taste affecting your schema of high performance or even the options down or max.

    Hello

    Blue screen of death (BSOD) may be caused by software or hardware problems.
    To know if it of really a software problem, you can try running a HARD drive recovery procedure which would fix the laptop back to factory settings.

    What is an option for you?
    If Yes, check this:

  • Satellite C660 - continues to enter the system repair

    Can someone help me?

    I have a Toshiba Satellite C660. Yesterday, it crashed. When it restarted, it went in the repair of the system and whenever I rebooted, it entered the system repair. Don't know if it is relivant but I get a windown come with drvload.exe back.

    So I did a factory restore hdd thinking this would clearly be the problem, but it didn't. Now I always get a repair system each time I do updates of mircosoft when I restart, more I can't hardly open programs like firefox, add and remove programs.

    I now use a check of HDD to see if I have bad sectors, have also scan mcfee which showed no virus.

    Any suggestions would be grateful because do not know what to try next.

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    > So I did a factory restore hdd thinking this would clearly be the problem, but it didn't.
    That would mean he s no malfunction of the software and the problem seems to be hardware related. HARD drive recovery can restore the original settings of the software box and they are pre-tested by Toshiba. So, theoretically, he could be sector failed HARD drive, RAM failure or something else

    > Now, I always get a repair system each time I do updates of mircosoft
    This would mean that the problem appears only after Windows update or I understand something wrong?

  • Satellite C660-15r stucks and without recovery possible

    Hello

    I hope someone can help me or who knows what to do. I have the Satellite C660-15r it been shut down correctly, but when put back come with start windows normally, as if it was interrupted, I clicked ok for that but instead of loading, let's make some kind of recovery only he was not able to complete this and rather said there is nothing to recover.

    It is stuck at it and will go no further, says administration system to log in however its not allowing to connect or to do anything about this or off farm then restart, I tried factory reset, but it will not work at all I've tried several attempts with 0 and other options, told me it does not work , but I can get up f2 and f8 loading up all that works well but I find no option to factory reset. It gives me options to recover, but they take the same screen with no improvement and safe mode does not work.

    I hope someone can help me I will be very grateful.

    Thank you in advance.

    Shell :)

    At first, I must say that recovery option is available if the laptop to factory settings. After reading your ad I n don't know if you still use OS install of origin that you got with your laptop or maybe the OS preinstalled on your own.

    I assume that you did not create a media recovery (DVD) use pre-installed Toshiba recovery media creator, right?
    In the use of your disk recovery situation could be simpler to solve this problem and install original recovery image.

    Can you please post model mobile exact?

  • Connection problem with the satellite C660 - 24L

    Hello world

    I have a Toshiba satellite c660 - 24L running windows 7 and have had a problem with internet connection in the last two days.

    Marketing, the internet works very well for around a minute and then I lose the connection. The computer says still connected but the network map displays a problem between the computer and the Wi - Fi router. After that restart the internet works fine again, and then disconnects after ~ 1 min.

    A few times, the computer froze, and gave me a blue screen and memory dump, and then a forced restart.

    Computer behaving the same way when connected and disconnected from the mains.

    All other devices will connect to the router talk-talk with no problems.

    Any help is appreciated, thank you in advance.

  • Satellite C660 - Windows 7 64 bit BSOD after upgrade RAM

    Hi guys

    my laptop Specs: Satellite C660-1JG
    -Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium 64-bit (pre-installed, Toshiba-HDD recovery)
    -Intel® Celeron® Processor T3500
    -2048 MB of RAM DDR3 (800 MHz).

    recently I increase my RAM to 4 GB (2 + 2 GB), since its installation, as soon windows7 64 bit beginning of loading, finished with BSOD. load BSOD Windows sometimes very well, but in a minute or two appears. I can confirm that it does not read the total RAM of 4 GB, I checked while the laptop was about 2 to 3 minutes ON. then I go out 1 RAM stick laptop is fine, no BSOD!

    so question raises if the RAM is at fault, incompatibility etc, but I have the dual boot OS and other OS is Ubuntu 11. who reads the 3.84 GB RAM and without crashing or BSOD or any question.

    Then I installed Windos 7 32 bit to see if that still has problems with 4 GB of RAM, but NO, 32 bit reads RAM 4 GB (usable 2.8 GB). without crashing or BSOD with 32, only problem with windows 64-bit version!
    I checked the specification it says Max RAM 4 GB Ram and yes it supports 4 GB RAM with Linux and win7 32-bit.

    I tried to update BIOS version 1.20 (currently on 1.40), but still got error: Firmware has no support of Flash (AFUWINGUI).
    I was wondering if any of you can guide me to the right direction.
    Thanks in advance

  • BSOD on Satellite C660-1RR

    Hi, my laptop, Toshiba Satellite C660-1RR, has terrible problems. First of all, the blue screen (BSOD) appears, and then the laptop stops or restarts again and again. Then closed, it only opens after hours later. When turned on, it only lasts for 5 minutes.

    All drivers were installed and re-installed, but the same problem still exists.

    Help, please.

    Hello

    There are different reasons for the BSOD errors.
    The BSOD may appear due to serious problems or hardware malfunction.

    You can easily check if its software or hardware related problem.
    Take your Toshiba Recovery disk and set the computer laptop back to factory settings.
    In case this will not solve the BSOD problem, the problem is definitely caused by hardware problems.

    Have you noticed a higher internal temperature?
    I had a similar problem with my laptop 6 year old. Because of the dust, internal memory modules could not be cooled and this caused BSOD.
    I had cleaned the cooling fans and removed the dust using a jet of compressed air.

    This solved BSOD problem for awhile

  • 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:

  • Satellite C660: webcam message - device is locked by another application

    I have a Satellite C660 notebook PC series. the webcam was working fine with the old driver installed...
    I work a little bit and use Skype to talk to my wife while he's stuck in a hotel room...

    I connected as normal but Skype could not find the camera, I opened the camera manually using the navigation on the desktop bar and got an error message "Device is locked by another application" I quit all other programs that can use it, but still got the same message.

    Still couldn't get it to work then looked in the Task Manager and the process tree to see if something was running (did not know really what I was looking for in the process.)

    I then updated and reinstalled the driver - this is the latest version of the driver and changed the appearance of the home screen of camera - still have the same error message.

    Tried several times to the installation of the driver, but nothing... and yet the face recognition screen lights up and uses the webcam... so I know that this product works, but he usually opened manually or with Skype

    Help, please

    Hello

    I think that you can not use the cam as part of the Skype because the webcam is blocked by other software, I suppose that its face recognition.

    I recommend doing this:
    Uninstall the webcam software
    Uninstall the facial recognition
    Restart the device
    Install the webcam software
    Install face recognition
    and then test it with Skype.

  • Satellite C660 - TOSHIBA Accessibility error

    Hello

    I recently bought a Satellite C660/C660D fine, apart from one or two minor issues (which this thread is on about). First of all, the laptop was and is still littered with loads of random software from TOSHIBA, here is a list:

    + TOSHIBA Assist +.
    + TOSHIBA Bulletin Board.
    + TOSHIBA ConfigFree +.
    + TOSHIBA Disc Creator +.
    + TOSHIBA face recognition.
    + Support utility TOSHIBA Flash Cards +.
    + TOSHIBA hardware setup +.
    + TOSHIBA HDD/SSD Alert +.
    + TOSHIBA Media Controller +.
    + TOSHIBA Media Controller plugin +.
    + TOSHIBA online product information.
    + TOSHIBA Recovery Media Creator +.
    + TOSHIBA Recovery Media Creator reminder +.
    + TOSHIBA ReelTime +.
    + TOSHIBA Service Station +.
    + TOSHIBA supervisor password +.
    + Toshiba TEMPRO +.
    + Package + Toshiba value added
    + TOSHIBA Web Camera Application.

    Is there an ISO image of recovery pre made somewhere or do I have to make my own, because if I decide to unisntall some of these programs, I could need at a later date?

    The second issue is with the TOSHIBA Accessibility application which shows the FN keys, it does not seem to start. He worked the first day then I disabled all startup TOSHIBA applications and I get the following error: "registry is missing or may be broken. ', I don't know why!

    I tried cleaning the registry, as well as the registry is not broken.

    * Thanks in advance *.

    Hi Olivier,.

    I'm happy to hear that you are owner of laptop Toshiba too and you've discovered the forum here. We can discuss everything on laptops from Toshiba, that s interesting :)

    I'll try to help you resolve this issue:

    1.Yes, there is a recovery image for restore factory settings with all drivers and tools on your laptop but is important burn you this image to a blank DVD using pre-installed recovery media creator. You will get a disc with an image of Windows with all the drivers and tools => settings of the case. Thus, the same parameters as you purchased the computer.

    2.i think that FN keys don t work because you have disabled some important tools Toshiba they are necessary for the FN keys. For FN keys TOSHIBA button Support and TOSHIBA Flash Cards startup items are absolutely necessary, so you should allow them and restart the computer.

  • Satellite C660-17F just died on me

    I was watching a movie on my Toshiba Satellite C660-17F and all of a sudden the computer off because he go hibernate mode, so I plugged the power. I could see two lights in the front of the laptop from its power source, and the other to indicate the machine performed.

    So I tried to restart the computer, I heard put under tension but nothing on the screen, so I thought that my LCD screen was gone, so I tried again to turn off, unplug the unit, remove the battery and put the battery and the ac power back just to notice that the AC now does not work because the power light is not coming only the Green indicating that the computer must be turned on, but there is nothing on the screen.

    (1) so now I will list what is happening when I try to turn it on.

    When I press the power button - I can here some noise as if want power upward, but nothing on the screen for a few minutes the I here some activity, but with a very low noise.

    (2) power supply no longer works when it is plugged into the laptop.

    the green light to indicate that the laptop is on works like the battery still have power, but I know when the battery goes flat I have nothing

    so all I have is a green light a little noise for a few minutes and the fan is running, no BIOs, no windows, no charge,

    so I don't know if is the LCD, MOTHERBOARD OR other

    a body can help please

    Hello

    I don t think its a display problem, but you can connect an external monitor to the computer laptop just to be sure that this isn't an internal display delivers 100%.

    But from my point of view a part on the motherboard (CPU/GPU) or your motherboard is faulty.
    What of his time for professional help
    I recommend asking a Toshiba ASP for a verification of the material
