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.

  • My computer constantly freezes after startup

    Original title: System Hang

    My computer freezes after startup or during startup. Whenever I look at the problems and solutions in Control Panel, it says that my nvidia graphics driver has stopped working properly and should be updated but I checked and installed the latest version. What else could I try? I would appreciate the help as I have had this problem before and it stopped for a while and started again.

    Thanks-James

  • Satellite C660D freezes & blue sceen

    Hello

    OK, so to start id like to say that I am not very computer illiterate. For spending a few days my Toshiba laptop keeps freezing randomly (I have to turn the power off using the power button / stop to resume using it) more I got this blue screen pop up 2 or 3 times. I also noticed that when I run the scan, or disk cleanup function on my Norton Anti Virus it freezes also. I've had the laptop for about 2 years now. More details on my laptop below:

    Name of the template - Satellite C660D
    Version of the OS - Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 6.17601
    BIOS Verson - 1.30
    Processor: processor Dual-Core AMD Athlon (TM) II P340
    Physical memory - 3072 MB RAM
    64-bit operating system

    If anyone with knowledge on this subject could offer me some tips on what to do I would really appreciate it. IM debating whether or not to return laptop to factory settings - which I never tried before.

    Thank you

    Hello

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is. We put t know exact setup for laptop and way how you use it, but if you use it for 2 years with original maybe the best factory settings way to have good work and stabile new OS is to install image recovery even once.

    After doing this with the fact that you have perfectly clean OS configured operating system. After doing this, you just install Windows updates and everything will be OK again.

    To be honest original recovery image can also be optimized, but if you don t have many experiences with him don t do some experiments only. If a friend you have good pc knowledge he can help you with this.

    How to install the recovery image, which you can read on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm

  • Wireless on Satellite C660d-14W after clean instalation of Win 7

    Hello

    I bought a toshiba satellite c660d-14w off the coast of a friend and reinstalled a fresh copy of windows 7 x 64.
    After installation, the laptop does not recognize any material (graphics, wireless network card, sound) so I slowly tried to install all the drivers for all.

    However, no matter what I install for the wireless, it just doesn't seem to work.
    Installed the driver from realtek RTL8188CE, driver lan wireless on Toshiba website and have set the network connections service car and restarted it and still nothing.

    In the Manager of peripheral devices, network cards, I have two entries:

    Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller
    &
    Realtek RTL8188CE WLAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC

    Suffice to say that they are working properly and have the latest drivers but I have no wireless access, does not display the icon in the status bar, and I just get a generic windows error message when you try to configure it manually.

    Help, please!

    Yes, the wireless network card seems to be properly recognized in Device Manager.
    The Satellite C660C-14W supports the Realtek RTL8188CE WLan chip.

    You said you do not have access to the WLan
    Did you check the availability
    Control Panel-> network sharing Center-> the settings of map (left)

    Here, you should see the wireless network card
    Is - this visible?

    If Yes, go to properties and uninstall the TCP/IPv6 protocol and use only TCP/IPv4

    Hello

    I think you should test the memory modules.
    The memtest software is OK, but not perfect. You know
    Even though the memtest would not detect any errors, the problem of the ram is possible
    Otherwise, it could be a motherboard problem too.

    I had a problem in the past, my book of 8 years froze only if adapter was attached to only if the html files were executed.
    Finally the mobo was replaced, and this fixed the problem.

    What internal temperature? Maybe it's at a higher temperature?
    Clean the vents with air... stream could help get better air circulation...

  • HP G62 laptop computer: laptop freezes after startup

    After starting my laptop freezes.  How long after starting varies.  Sometimes it will freeze after only a few minutes. Sometimes it can be operational for an hour or two.  Want to know how to fix this.

    Tested hard drive and the Long DST failed.  Has given an ID of the failure of QAGCHR-5GH847-XDOO3A-61AKO3.  Product ID is XHO66UA #ABA.

    Hello

    Error code 24 characters is a failure of the entire test (DST) disk Self and would indicate that hard is defective and must be replaced.  This is also consistent with the freezing issues you describe.

    If you want a guide on replacing the hard drive yourself, let me know.

  • 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?

  • Satellite A300 immediately freezes after startup

    Laptop running this morning and got a warning from Norton telling that my Antivirus software has been disabled.
    I never turned it off before so could not understand this.
    In any case, I clicked on the icon of fix in Norton, but it's stuck on 7%.

    I could still move the cursor on the screen, but nothing would work. I tried CTRL + ALT + DELETE, but that made no difference.
    Shut down the laptop by holding the power button. Once re-boot returned to Norton to try the complete analysis of the system, but after a few minutes it may stuck as before.
    Once again restarted and connected to the internet but once again after a few minutes it may jam. It seems, no matter what I do, it only takes 4-5 minutes before locking up.

    I looked on other forums using pc at work for possible corrections. Similar problems appear to be at with good overheating that found a site that suggests, it might be Service Pack associated.

    Does this sound right?
    Any help please welcome.

    Please answer in bases, as I am not an expert.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    I think the software Norton Atntivirus could be the reason for your mobile number.
    It seems that this software does not work properly now, maybe you should reinstall it and update again.

    Or I have another idea.

    You could remove the software from the system and could switch to another tool called Avira Antivir I use this antivirus software and it s free and really big because this does not focus on the system such as Symantec's Norton.
    I read that Norton Antivir needs a lot of system resources. This might be the reason of your gel

  • Satellite P205D freeze after hibernation/standby in Win7

    Hello

    Satellite P205D my daughter has just been upgraded to Windows 7. fine, except that now, it freezes shortly after the resumption from standby or hibernation. Minidumps just point to a "hardware". We executed the installed Toshiba installation software (it was a 'clean' installation), value added package, and updated the BIOS and 1.7.
    Any ideas what could be casuing the problem? -J' I assumed it was a suspended driver, but would have thought that they would have to day now.

    The only thing showing a problem in device manager is a (probably from a USB stick) USB mass storage controller, but that the deactivation has no effect.
    Thank you

    To be honest on this virtual path, it is not possible to provide the exact diagnosis. We don t know what you did exactly, which drivers, tools and utilities installed and install the who do you follow.

    Can you maybe provide more description on the OS version, driver installation, installation of additional software or anything else that can help a better understanding?
    Some external device is connected to your laptop, run some additional software?
    What it looks like in Device Manager? Everything has been installed correctly?

  • 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

  • Satellite C660 freezes at startup

    Hey guys can help you with my laptop, Toshiba Satellite C660-17J. At startup, it freezes even though not all the time. By freezing, I mean I can move the mouse but not open anything and nothing on the task bar highlight. The only thing I can see different is that the (wireless) network icon does not appear. The last time he if but showed only the networks symbol search.

    If I turn the laptop using the power button and start in safe mode and then restart it works OK. Do you have any suggestions whats the cause?

    Maybe your system is confusing to the top?
    Did you test new OS install? Would certainly recommend that you test this before more detailed investigations.

  • Satellite P300 freezing after more than 20 minutes

    Hello

    I hope someone can help.
    My satellite P300 laptop freezes when left for more than 20 minutes.
    This has been a problem since the purchase of the laptop 8 months ago.

    I have windows vista installed.

    When this happens I've pressed the button until the computer restarts, it gives me the option to start in safe mode.
    This can't be good for the laptop?
    Is there a way to solve this problem, as I turn the laptop off when ever I leave.

    See you soon

    Hello

    It's not easy to say what is the reason for this as it can be different things

    Maybe your laptop is overheating. You can hear the fan or get very hot? Maybe you should try to clean using compressed air stream. This could blow out the dust from the cooling fans.

    You said that you have installed Windows Vista on your laptop. Do you mean the factory settings or you have installed your own version of Windows?

    It could also be the RAM problem. You can check this with Memtest86. It is a diagnostic program for the RAM. You can download it from [www.memtest86.com]. It s freeware and easy to use (just to burn a bootable CD with the image and the start of it).

    Good luck and post your results after that.

  • Satellite M45 hangs after startup

    Hi people,

    I got by Satellite M45 and it's almost 3 years, I use it. Now he started to gel after starting. So I formatted using the recovery DVDs, even now he kick survey and if I click on the start menu it freezes.

    Someone has this kind of situation? Is this hard drive problem? What would be the best solution to do this, change the HD, RAM?.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    > Is this hard drive problem? What would be the best solution to do this, change the HD, RAM?.

    You must understand that no one will be able to say exactly what's wrong.
    Several tests are needed to find the fault.

    If you reinstalled the operating system on the HARD drive and then I n t think that the HARD drive would be malfunctions.
    I had a similar problem on my 6 year old laptop. Laptop computer frisotté after 2 min.
    After a long investigation, I discovered that one of the memory slots would be defective, because the two modules worked correctly in another location.

    Of course, in your case, it could be a failure of memory but it's only a suggestion or suspicion. You know

    Hello

    Have you installed other drivers on the Toshiba site, too? Such a question would normally be typical of 3rd third party drivers use
    Have you installed the drivers from the chipset first?

    Maybe you need to restore the factory settings. With these settings, everything is pretested and configured for more stable parameters.
