Satellite L300-1F8 freezes with Win 7 but ok under Win XP

Hello

made me this Satellite L300-1F8 as hand down from my sister, and first glance seems he was in working condition.
There is no OS on it and I decided to install it with windows 7.
It starts up fine on the disc, but after some time on the installation process, it freeze or reboot.

The next thing I did was have it running on an Ubuntu live CD... it did boot from the live cd, but after a while it froze again. I've done a memory test and all modules are very well.
I check the hard drive, and again, it was ok. So I tried to install Windows xp on it and to my surprise it is installed without any problem.

Does this mean that I can just install XP on this model?

Also, I noticed that whenever the battery (the orange on the front of the unit) light is turned on, the computer restart or hang...
This means that this device has a power problem?

and oh, as I currently running on Windows XP, I have updated the Bios of 1.50 to 2.20 and even once tried to install Win 7, but had the same problem again.

I returned to Win XP and installed without a hitch.
Here is the complete model in my unit: Satellite L300 - 1F8 PSLBGE00T004AR...

any help would be greatly appreciated... Thank you...

Hello

> Does that mean I can only install XP on this model?

No, you can install any system. The hardware specifications of the Satellite L300-1F8 seems ok: processor Intel Pentium dual-core T3400, 4 GB RAM, 250GB HDD and Mobile Intel GMA 4500 M graphics card is good enough to Win 7

I m wondering why the laptop froze running Windows 7 or Linux

> Also, I noticed that whenever the battery (the orange on the front of the unit) light is turned on, the computer restart or hang... This means that this device has a power problem?

Do you mean the battery indicator? The battery indicator is the 3rd left.
The battery indicator indicates the State of charge. Green: charging completely charged and orange way.

There are also other indicators:
The first left is indicator DC IN which turns green when the AC adapter DC voltage. If the output of the adapter is abnormal this indicator shows no light.

The second on the left is the led lights green when the laptop is running. If you turn off the computer in standby mode, it starts flashing orange. If the computer turns the indicator shows no light.

  • How to install Vista on my Satellite L300-1F8 (PSLBGE)?

    Hello guys. I have some problems with my laptop. First of all, certain details so that you know exactly what I'm working with:

    Laptop: Toshiba Satellite L300-1F8 PSLBGE
    OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows Vista Home Premium Edition

    I had problems with several drivers (video, modem), but I managed to solve these stars with drivers from the Web site.

    Now, if I go to Device Manager, there are only 2 things with yellow triangle:

    OTHER DEVICES (that's the category)
    Ethernet controller
    SM Bus controller

    It seems that I can't do this work. Can you please specify? I read on the internet, but still could not find a good answer (or perhaps I looked in the wrong place).

    If you can provide me with some answers/links I would really appreciate it. TKS a lot for your time spent helping me!

    Hello Razvan

    I hope that we will find the solution for you, but at first I have to ask you something:
    You bought your laptop computer without an operating system preinstalled?

    In any case, all the drivers, tools and utilities must be installed in order to good facilities. When you do this, everything will be OK. I just hope that you started with driver chipset. It must be installed first.
    I can't order exact facilities for your laptop, but if you want I can send you my P300 laptop. It is quite similar.

    You have installed the LAN and WLAN (Ethernet) drivers?
    Card reader installed too?

    Install the driver for the webcam. Features of webcam you can test with Skype or installed Camera Assistant software.

    As I see it, * Toshiba Hdd recovery * does not solve your problem. You checked with the other memory, but it always freeze. so, I guess that a hard drive can be a troublemaker. If your laptop is still under warranty, you should contact them (SAV)

  • Satellite R830 random freeze with no way to take back control - full fan speed

    Hello
    I've been Googling autour for a bit now, looking for a solution to what could be a hardware problem.

    Randomly my Satellite R830 suddenly freezes and the speed of the fan running at full speed. It's actually a useful way to be immediately aware that my computer crashed. Everything is frozen, the only way out is to force via the power button.

    I hit the same description on several Web site for different models of Toshiba, return of 2009. It seems that the problem is still there! I also read testimonials from this problem for Windows and Linux OS. I use a Debian Squeeze, which does not detect the newspaper when the accident occurred.

    Sometimes it can be fine for a week, but recently, the computer freeze at least once a day, which is not acceptable for a new laptop.

    I am really getting concerned if something will be done soon, or if I should ask for an Exchange and pray to be spared. I use my laptop on a daily basis for professional use, and so I would definitely prefer another solution. I have been waiting for 4 months now and just update my BIOS 3 days ago from Web site of Toshiba with no noticeable improvement. the computer crashed 4 times in the last 2 days.

    If someone managed to overcome this problem, I would be very grateful for the tip!

  • Satellite L300 - recovery ends with the error message: 10-FA1Z - 045D

    My Satellite L300 is 3 months old and one a few days ago I resorted to the use of the 4 recovery DVDs.
    After several hours, I get an error: 10-FA1Z - 045D message. I made 3 attempts and get the same message every time.

    Any suggestions?

    My only suggestion for that is you should contact the closest service provider authorized as soon as possible. I am not sure what can be the problem, but it must be HARD drive issue or a problem with the recovery image.

    In both cases, you will get free and if necessary service service can order new DVD of facilities of recovery for you.

  • The graphics card for Satellite L300 - 1F8 PSLBGE driver installation

    I bought yesterday Sattelite L300 1F8, PSLBGE, UNFORTUNATELLY withouth OS. After the installation of the OS, I went to the Toshiba Europe web page to find the drivers. I have not received all the drivers in the package?

    First of all, it's a disaster (for example 3 types of drivers for the modem, and I don't know who is in my setup). Some utilities did not work withouth prior to installation of CS Util.

    No clear instructions, no tools to automatically download all that is necessary.
    I think this is the last time that I buy Toshiba without BONES.

    I still get warning (yellow questionmark) with SM Bus controller and video controller in Device Manager.
    I downloaded the video driver name: display-20080519181914, but when the installation starts I have message this computer does not meet the minimum requirements?

    It's only driver I found on this site.

    Can anyone help with this.

    Where can I download all the drivers for this model, without duplicating (like the 3 different set of drivers for the modem)

    Hello

    As much I know 1F8 Sat L300 was equipped with the Intel graphics chip.
    I visited the European driver of Toshiba page and, unfortunately, I didn't find the file display - 20080519181914.zip
    All I see are two drivers for XP or Vista.
    We're 6.14.10.4953 (XP) and the second is 7.15.10.1502 (Vista).
    I recommend that you check it again!

    > First of all, it's a disaster (for instance types 3 of the drivers for the modem and I don t know that one is in my setup).
    Where is the problem? You have 3 drivers and one should works check it out.

    > Some utilities would not work without prior install CS Util.
    That s clear some tools need other tools to work properly so it s recommended to install everything from the page!

  • Satellite L300-1F8 - AHCI and WLAN drivers

    I have L300 1F8 PSLBGE and I have 2 problems with it

    1. I preferd using XP to install it so I put video surveillance ACHI not so I knew forum that I can install hardware Intel software to set the DCIS but after I downloaded the software I can not install it because (no system resources).
    Can you tell me how to install it correctly too, in system properties, I noticed it says that the RAM is 2.87 GB! is it supposed to be 4 GB

    2 - I tried to install wirless LAN but I can't. What software is right for me to do from the downloads page direct me to another page that contains several types of software. Can any body tell me that I have to use?

    Thank you

    Hello!

    1. first of all it of called * AHCI * and not ACHI ;)
    I put t know what you mean with you can t install it but the Intel Storage Manager contains the drivers you need and you have to integrate the drivers during the installation of Windows XP. This means that you must use the external floppy drive or nLite ([www.nliteos.com]). So I think that this Toshiba document could be useful for you:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD9401AN0000R01.htm
    If you have other questions about this, check out hundreds of threads here in the forum!

    On Windows XP it of not possible to use 4 GB of RAM. Why? Check this box:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB82022E0000R01.htm

    2. on the Toshiba site, you can search for your model. Then, you will get a list of all the drivers you need for your mobile only:

  • Satellite L300 - 17L - impossible to use the keys FN under Win XP

    I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite L300 - 17L and I can't use the combination of keys (Fn + F1, F2...).
    I downloaded all my drivers Toshiba s website... but nothing... all utilities... and nothing.
    I use a Win XP OS

    Please, if you can help me...

    Hello

    As I m wrong not the Satellite L300 - 17L belongs to the PSLBCE.
    You must choose this series to download driver.

    I can find on the European driver Toshiba page all the necessary XP drivers for this series and as much as I know to install the * Modules * common for Win XP get the FN keys feature!

    If please check this and reinstall the common Modules!

  • Satellite L300 regularly freezes after BIOS update

    I've updated the latest bios for my Toshiba Satellite L300. However, after using the computer for half an hour, the computer is frozen.

    Even though I reinstalled the operating system, this problem still occurs. Can someone view please the link to the previous bios for this Toshiba L300?

    Kind regards.

    Check if there are several versions of BIOS according to the operating system that you are using as if it were with other series of satellites?
    And redefine the BIOS settins on default. This often allows too much.

    Not sure, but I think that you will not find a previous version of the BIOS on Toshiba download page and so you can ask your ASP if they can return BIOS back to a previous version.

  • Satellite L300 - 16L - BSOD with new modules of RAM

    Hello

    I have a Satellite L300 - 16L and make me the same problem.

    Has got 2 x 1 GB DIMMS standard and ordered 2 new 2 GB DIMMS. If I put the 2 new 2 GB DIMMS in I get the BSOD, Memtest also crashes as soon as it starts to test. If I place a 1 GB Dimm in the lower slot and a 2 GB in another windows starts fine, if I try to put the 2 in the lower slot and 1 GB in the higher the BSOD that he.

    But if I put either of 2 GB on the lower slot his own windows boots fine, mem test has also allows to test the two GBs 2 individually and said no problem.

    Any ideas anyone? My laptop is supposed to support 4 GB, I'm sure of it.

    Thank you
    JJ

    Hi Jack_Jumpin,

    > My laptop is supposed to support 4 GB, I'm sure of it.
    Why you are sure that your laptop supports 4 GB of RAM?

    I checked the specification of your laptop on the Toshiba page and this L300 - 16L supports only 2 GB. This means that you can only use two modules including 1 GB of capacity.

    Sorry, mate, but you can use t 4 GB. The chipset supports only 2 GB.

  • Satellite L300-1F8 - Win 7 does not start

    I bought my L300 Satellite a few days ago.
    I installed the ot Windows 7 RC version. This drug was OK until yesterday.

    When I started it, he showed the legend of Toshiba and at the moment he is supoused start loading the operating system it starts to beep.

    I tried to Flash the BIOS with the latest version released.
    After I did this everithing was normal once again, but today when I started it, the same problem apeared again.

    Can someone help me?
    Is this really a problem with the operating system, or is this a hardware problem?

    Hello

    > When I started it, he showed the legend of Toshiba and at the moment he is supoused start loading the operating system it starts to beep. I tried to Flash the BIOS with the latest version released.

    The whole story is really strange to me.
    How do update you the BIOS if you were not able to start the operating system?

    Usually the BIOS can be updated only when running Windows operating system.

    You ask if this could be a problem software or hardware; to be honest I m not quote sure why the laptop beeps but I think you should test this new with OS preinstalled Toshiba. Take the recovery disc (that you created if all goes well before install you Win 7) and installed the Vista again to check if this issue would be displayed.

    In addition, the Win 7 is still a beta version, which means that there is still a lot of bugs that could affect the functionality of the laptop.
