Satellite L - Initial start-up, the time

Hello

I'm not very tech savyy so apologize if this is a stupid question! But I just bought my laptop today and the Quick guide installation explains that the initial start-up would take 2.5 hours and that the computer might restart several times during this process. Well the first thing I did was load the computer (for an hour), then turned on. Launch seemed to take about 10-15 minutes and it restarted only once.

Missing something? What is supposed to happen in the initial start?

Hello

The initial startup time is always depending on the exact model laptop. Different laptops come with a different software so the initial boot time may be different.

If everything is installed now and you can use your laptop for Internet and other things don t worry.

What you need to do now is create the Toshiba Recovery disk first. Start so the recovery media creator pre-installed and you need some blank DVDs (I recommend the high quality DVD-R media). If you have the disks, you are always able to restore the original settings of the case. :)

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.

    Believe me; It's not easy to say exactly why the BSOD appears.
    It usually happens because of a malfunction or severe software hardware fault.
    Have you used the operating system of the image of Toshiba?
    Message it says something about sysaudio.sys.
    This file is a system audio WDM filter processes and it s a part of the Windows operating system. It controls the material such as the printer or the graphics card at a lower level.

    Note: The virus uses these files as a camouflage. You should always use an anti virus application.

    In addition, you suggested that the laptop stops after 5 min.
    Well, this looks like an overheating problem. How did you use the laptop? You know that free space around the laptop is very important due to the circulation of air. Fans should also be free.

    I you use Notepad in the right position and it happen, so I recommend asking for help Toshiba service partner. They should check the laptop.

  • Satellite R630 - fan runs all the time

    Hello everyone,

    I have a Satellite R630, and I'm happy with it. But there is one thing that makes me angry... the fan! It runs ALL the time. I browse a little... the fan works. I work with the office, or something... the fan works. To clarify: the CPU is not used, there is no heavy processes running, and the Notebook\CPU is cool. There is no reason why the fan should work, all the laptops that I had before where calm in the same situations. Of course it is not a problem if it starts working if necessary (a game, looking for a HD video or something). But not without reason!

    Someone at - it a solution for this problem? A tool to fix the fan speed\intervals manually, or better: an update of the bios (in the version 1.4 and 1.5 I can choose what I want... the fan did not stop execution). It is also quiet in Linux or any other operating system.

    @Toshiba: (!) Please do something. The only solution for me right now is to return the laptop to the store. :-(

    Best regards

    IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE WHO CAN GIVE ME AN INDICATION OF WHAT THE PROBLEM IS OR NO MATTER WHAT IDEA TO FIX IT. HELPFUL WITH ALL KINDS OF ANSWERS, PLS REPLY TO MY E MAIL IF POSSIBLE.

    [email protected]

    RGDS ROGER

    That s strange. Even if the system is damaged, the installation should work using the recovery disk
    Error message: bootmgr missing means that your system is confusing to the top. System files are corrupted or misconfigured. It might be possible that your disk sectors are damage or the HARD drive is not properly configured to be started from.

    You can try to boot from the authentic Microsoft Win 7 disc and may format the HARD drive including a deletion of all available partitions.
    After the HARD drive has been formatted, try to install the system using the Windows 7 disc.

  • L50 - B satellite will not start when the battery is completely discharged

    Hello

    My Toshiba L50 - B won't start when the battery is fully drained but connected to the power outlet.
    I try to work most of the time on the battery to keep the battery in good shape, but when I forgot to turn off the battery drains and the system will not start when I plug in the adapter.

    The battery charge indicator is orange light as it should. Only when the battery is fully charged to 100%, it will run at startup and function normally after that. I tried to turn on the laptop several times during the charge cycle, but only when the charge indicator changes from yellow to white it starts. Tested for 2 bodies.

    My old Toshiba always immediately turned on when I plugged the adapter even when the battery has been completely drained. Am I missing a setting somewhere?

    Thanks for responding... I hope well :-)

    Toshiba L50 - B
    Windows 8.1
    Any standard/original setting since I only acquired this laptop a month ago.

    The laptop should light up if the power adapter is plugged in and power the laptop corectly any if the battery is empty or during charge.

    Please check the version of the BIOS that is available on your mobile phone and compare with the BIOS available on the page of the Toshiba UE driver
    Maybe you need to update the BIOS, but to be honest, the history seems really odd to me and I m afraid that there could be some power supply electronic problem

    So in the worst case, the laptop must be checked by authorized service provider.

  • Satellite A300D - Turn off all the time

    My wife has a Satellite A300D (model PSAK4E) and it keeps closing. The two randomy and when induced under certain conditions

    Previously, I tested the HARD drive and found bad sectors then replaced with a 64 GB SSD. I tried to install Windows 7 but it kept fault towards the end. So I reset the machine without a battery and now the power button for 2 minutes to clear the memory. Installed Windows 7 + updates.

    I was worried about stopping all the time but flashed the BIOS. Flash worked.

    Laptop resets always? I have reviewed several possible causes and wanted to get other peoples ideas
    1 HARD drive - replaced and even resets
    2. battery - ran on power sector only and even resets
    3 overheating - sometimes under certain conditions (memmory tests or you try to run certain applications) or randomly (without reason)
    4. a broken circuit somewhere on the motherboard
    5 - completely new OS + software resets the laptop when using some applications from a live disk.

    Thank you inadance for the help

    Hi me_in_oz,

    Theoretically the laptop turn off itself due to a higher internal temperature to protect the equipment against damage.
    In this case, you will need to clean the laptop using jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans. It is easy and takes only a few minutes to check out this article:
    [How to clean a Toshiba laptop cooling system? | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=40]

    Otherwise it seems to be a serious hardware problem and your laptop should be checked for professional people. Probably it s a malfunction of the motherboard

  • C50-A-19 t satellite does not start with the battery mounted

    OK, first post here.

    I see similar questions coming, but as they are never QUITE the same, I am that posing in a new thread.

    I left my Satellite from one day to the next (do not remember if I had put off, or he simply had 'gone to sleep', but it has been connected to the grid).

    When I got to reboot, I got a power light on, but screen blank (black). After reading a few similar complaints on the internet (via another laptop!), I tried to remove the battery and power from the grid.
    This worked well (I write him in this state right now).

    But whenever I put the battery and try again, it will fail in the same way.
    I tried this company "press and hold power for 30 seconds" without success (but I'm not 100% sure of the EXACT procedure actions sequence).

    I have a few questions:

    (1) I take the laptop away from my office - is there a problem with everything just works like this (i.e. of the grid, with no battery inserted) indefinitely?

    (2) in any case, I want to solve the problem.
    If the battery has run COMPLETELY flat, and that the laptop can not it lights but also operate normally?

    Alternatively, is probably that the battery has not experienced a catastrophic failure and simply needs to replace?
    If so, I'll just buy a. BUT...

    What I don't want to do, is to pay for a costly spare battery, to find that it was actually another factor at the origin of the problem, and I'm back to square one and out of Pocket!

    Any advice would be welcome.

    Thank you

    Mike

    Hello

    According to your assignment, in most cases, you use the laptop connected to the power adapter but no battery. Is this correct?

    First we need to know that if the AC adapter is plugged in, the laptop should work correctly with - and without inserting the battery.
    If you unplug the AC adapter, the laptop should automatically switch to battery power. In this case, it is important that the battery is pretty cool power to provide the power for the laptop.
    In case the battery is empty, the laptop will not light.

    I recommend to insert the battery plug the power adapter and charge the battery for a longer period of time.

    You should also check if the battery is recognized by the Windows system and the battery charge indicator (battery in the taskbar icon) shows the State of battery charge.

    In case the battery is fully charged and the laptop does not work using the battery power only, you should test the new battery.
    If new battery does not solve the problem, s for laptop hardware needs an audit.

  • Re: Satellite L310 - cannot start from the HARD disk

    Hello

    My L310 just died on me yesterday. My system just can not start, not even in Safe Mode. And it keeps trying to start using my network card, not through hard drive.

    I put the BIOS default settings, but it does not help.

    And she has this tone to loud continuous beep when it tries to start using the network card. A continuous beep, even on the screen of the BIOS and in safe mode.

    I chose the hard drive manually, but he keeps trying to start through the network adapter.

    And the laptop does not meet the keyboard. Even with a keyboard external usb. When I sometimes managed to boot my system on the rare occasion, I get to the login screen and cannot button my password.

    Does anyone have similar problems?

    Let me know. Thank you!

    Looks like your HARD drive is defective. BIOS recognize it?
    You should test the disk with Drive Fitness Test. Download the CD image, burn it to a CD and boot from it:
    http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT

    Check this box and give us feedback. Maybe the HARD drive needs to be replaced.

    On the keyboard issue it is not easy to say what are the causes of the problem, but in the worst case that he should be replaced also. :(

  • Satellite P100-240 starts after the BIOS update failed

    Hello, let me start by saying im a fool...

    Downloaded some drivers for my toshiba p100 240 and noticed there is a BIOS update, I downloaded and ran the program only so he can get to
    an error that it only will allow the administrator to run the program. My laptop has become slow and did not allow me to stop by all means. In the end, I took out the
    battery and rebooted to see a blank screen, no boot or anything on the screen.

    I'm afraid, I totally killed my machine and its about 4 months out of warranty, Im sure there is no cure miricle at low cost for this, but if someone can give me my options here I would really appreciate it.

  • C55-A-1MW satellite does not start with the new RAM inserted

    Hey.

    I hope to find someone who can help me... I bought ram memories and tried 4 different memories in my C55 A 1MW Satellite. But each card RAM I have insert makes the computer cannot start... It lights just to stop again.

    Is there a compatibility issue or anything like that? I used 2 different aData Ram extensions cars, 1 1 and 4 GB 2 GB. the 4 GB card was 1333 mhz and was 2 GB 1600 mhz card. and I tried 2 corsair 4 GB 1600 mhz different cards.

    Is this something that makes only able to expand RAM with Toshibas own memories or is the second cardslot for broken RAM memory?

    As I see you use RAM modules with different specifications. Your problem is certainly of RAM compatibility and you must use the RAM modules with the same specifications.
    According to specification of laptop there are 4 slots of memory and laptop can handle up to 32 GB of RAM.

    The compatible RAM modules are:
    4 GB DDR3L-1600-PA5104U-1M4G
    8 GB DDR3L-1600-PA5104U-1M8G

    Of course, you can use modules from other manufacturers, but please do not use some cheap products. I can recommend the use of Kingston memory modules.

    Hello

    Does this happen often?
    I mean that the Windows operating system could break sometimes without any serious reason, sometimes a software compatibility issue might be the reason why the OS freezes.

    Is an update of the BIOS to enable a feature. If so, could someone kludge one together please?
