• Satellite L300 - very slow start and freezes

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite L300, who treated me well - but more 2 months ago really slow and freezes quite often. I have anti virus, spybot etc and come up with nothing.

  Last night I tried to reformat the system by pressing 0 did not work so tried with F8 which I would like to make a longer scan but no reformatting. I am now very happy that I failed to do the reformat because I bought windows 7 after the initial purchase of the laptop.

  Any ideas anyone - or any person with same/simular problems?

  Hey,.

  This means that you have installed right now and not preinstalled version of Windows Windows 7?

  Well, in this case HARD drive recovery option is no longer available. You can do it on preinstalled only Windows.

  To format your laptop, you need Toshiba recovery disc.
  Did you create it?

• Re: Satellite L300 will not start and cannot restore HARD drive

  I have a L300 which stops just to start (after that the screen flash BIOS) with a single cursor flashing when I boot from the HARD disk. I can access the bios Setup and boot from the CD. I took the HARD drive connected to my external USB adapter on another PC and I can see partitions C and D and read the files correctly. I noticed that there is a directory called 'HDD recovery' on the D drive, but I don't have a recovery CD or another program to restore it.

  I found a boot of Vista recovery disc and it allows me to start a version of vista recovery but when I check the windows system can't find any errors. Also, if I choose the system restore then he says that he has no restore file.
  I suspect it's the disk HARD restore being Tosh files and Windows.

  Help someone!

  Set the default BIOS settings and enter the Advanced Start parameters using F8 at startup.
  You can boot OS using the safe mode option?

• Satellite L300 - will not start after the installation of Skype

  My Toshiba Satellite L300 won't start after installing Skype.
  This happened to someone else, and can I do?

  Thank you.

  I think Skype is probably the most used messenger and ideal application for communication.
  It is professionally designed and programmed. As you know in recent years, it has been offered in many different versions and it is always better and better.

  So I think that Skype itself is probably not the problem. I know that a lot of people also use Skype and I've never heard problem described.

  Anyway, what you can try is to remove Skype and try to install it again. Try also push the BONES at that earlier time. Maybe some Microsoft updates are responsible for the stability of the software.
  It's really not easy to say what the problem is here.

• Satellite L300 - no vertex shader and material & t on XP

  Hello

  I have my Satellite L300 - 11G 1 year and now I keep getting screens well blue of death (BSOD). I thought that his problem of RAM, and I used the memory diagnostic tools and no problem with the RAM.

  I try to install another driver for Intel GM965 chipset, it gives me error saying "this material is not meet your system requirements" or something like that so I went to the website that is provided by intel [files\systemrequirementslab | http://systemrequirementslab.com], you can test the games that you can run on your computer, and there I was shocked! When I saw

  Required that you have
  Hardware T&L Yes No
  Vertex Shader version 3.0 0.0

  who's who? I thought that my graphics card does not support Vertex shader. I opened WINDOWS 7 with the same computer... Shocked again!
  Required that you have
  Hardware T&L Yes Yes
  Vertex Shader version 3.0 4.0

  Windows 7 my pixel shader and vertex shader = 4.0, Hardawre T & L = Yes
  Under windows XP my pixel shader = 3.0, shader vertex = 0.0 and hardware T & L = NO
  I NEED solution here is my description of the computer: -.

  RAM DDR2 2 GB
  VGA card mobile express chipset intel GM965 256 up to 358
  Bicoeur T2370 1.73 GHz processor

  How do on XP as if was on Win 7

  Hey Buddy,

  First of all, you can t have Pixel and Vertex shader 4.0 on XP! Windows XP supports only to competition only on DirectX 10 and DirectX 9 .0c or more possible to use shader 4.0 s and therefore you need Vista or Windows 7!
  So I think everything is ok and don t forget you don t have a high-end gaming laptop. That's why you should buy a new one, a Qosmio series for example.

  > I try to install another driver for Intel GM965 chipset, it gives me error saying "this material is not meet your system requirements.
  I had the same problem and the solution was simple: just install manual chipset driver through the Device Manager where you can choose the driver directory (Advanced installation).

• Satellite L300 - 1AP PSLB8E starts not--a black screen and blinking cursor

  I have a Satellite L300-1AP model no PSLB8E.
  While trying to do a system restore on it the screen became empty outside the slider, and that's how it remains.

  I can switch off and restart it, will begin to start, then exactly the same thing happening.

  Plesae any ideas?

  > pressing the zero key "0" turn on the power, when you see a white bottom bar and hear a glance release the Zero key and it should start installation or reinstallation of your system

  I doubt it will work because this function is NOT implemented on Toshiba notebooks European but as I know about the series of notebook Toshiba U.S.!

  You can try to press the F8 key. An option called fix my computer should then be visible. Select it, then choose Toshiba HDD Recovery. Then a HARD drive recovery procedure must begin.

  But if it of not possible to choose this option, and then you take your recovery disk and must try to boot from it.
  If you don t have a recovery disk, and then use a CD of original installation MS windows, or you can order a new disc of recovery from here:

• Satellite L300, how to start from the cd/dvd external USB drive?

  I have an old laptop Satellite L300, latest version of the BIOS (2.20) installed.
  I would like to start on a connected external USB CD/DVD player
  PROBLEM:
  BIOS will not start on this CD/DVD disc.
  In the BIOS boot priority is: CD/DVD, USB, HDD
  BEHAVIOR:
  When starting, computer ignores the CD/DVD, ignores the USB and start on the HARD drive.
  QUESTION:
  Is it possible at all boot for CD/DVD USB external?

  Thanks for the efforts made to respond.
  Concerning

  It is NOT possible, I thought. REASON: The BIOS does not, does not reckognize CD/DVD (does not test if code such USB-CD/DVD bootable) drive connected via USB.

• Satellite L300 will not start

  AY up!

  I have a rather old L300 series which I'll put up like a computer diagnostic car dedicated. It does not attempt to start up, at all. I changed the RAM (2 GB) and hard drive (XP system) both with new components. The original, Vista hard drive, is in rude health.

  When you turn it on, the fan works, but nothing on the screen or the LEDs, I did the obvious things, any other ideas?

  AY up!

  My Toshiba Satellite L300 series shot tools. I changed disk cards and hard memory, put new components in both cases. Thinking that maybe the BIOS battery, I put the machine in charge. Nothing.

  When I turn on, the led lights green power as does the charging light when it is connected, then the fan starts. It is not "beep" to indicate the beginning of the start, nor does the HDD LED light. The battery is old, but still has enough power for 30 minutes running. On battery? Similarly.

  I did the standard things here, any ideas as to what I can do? I'm talented mechnically but computers are a book closed for me.

  Help, please...

• Satellite L300 - cannot enter Windows and recovery disk will not stand

  Good evening

  I have a Satellite L300. A month ago, I bought and install an upgrade to Windows 7 (I had Vista). Last night, my laptop was working fine and this morning when I opened it I got this error:

  BOOTMGR is corrupt. the system cannot start.

  I did some research and tried to boot from the recovery disc. Laptop computer the disc I get the windows is looding files screen and then a company Microsoft is displayed with a bar above it and then I get a blue screen that says:

  PROCESS1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED vista

  Now what can I do to reformat my computer and reinstall if I can't load the recovery disc!

  I tried to put my DVD of Vista I have for my other PC, but I have another error black screen...

  Can someone tell me what I can do now?

  Is it because I have a recovery CD for Windows Vista and not 7?

  Okay, so I read several post here and the only thing I can't think is the hard drive... but it had already changed a few months ago by Toshiba... now my laptop is not less guarantee more with Toshiba, but I have an extended warranty with my VISA... If anyone has any idea here, I'll try to bring it where they change HARD drive the last time...

• Satellite L300 - fails during the installation of recovery

  Today I took delivery of a recovery disk bright, shiny, new, directly at Toshiba. I was under the impreession it would erase all HDD and recreate a factory install with the recovery of HARD drive partition (which is what I want), but it fails every time in the same place with the following error message:

  [WARNING] W\:Sources\Boot.wim [unzip the file: (seq. 90)-> file corrupted block at offset D 024 8020]

  Any ideas how to solve this problem, or I've been waiting for 2 weeks for a failed CD?

  TA, Fred

  Hello

  I also have Satellite L300, but never had a problem with the Toshiba restore disk.

  What happens if you install Windows using a disc of Microsoft? It works or you get an error message too? If so, it could be a hardware problem, HDD, RAM, or something else.

  Also I've read here in the forum that it sometimes useful to format the whole HARD drive before using the Toshiba recovery disc.

• Satellite L300 - fails at startup

  My Toshiba L300 fails.

  When I try to start it, it lights up. Then he said: run the system normally and all that, what I choose that it starts then it comes up with a bar and bar back and forth, a green and a (c) Microsoft Corporation under him. And that's all I've got left on for at least 30 minutes now.

  Hello

  Have you tried to start the computer in safe mode?
  In the start before the Windows Startup menu by pressing F8, select Safe mode.

  It's really hard to tell what is the reason for this, but in the worst case, you must reinstall Windows using Toshiba recovery disc.

• Re: Satellite A350-20 q - started to freeze completely

  Howdy!

  I ' v belonging to my laptop for about 2 months now and a few days ago, he started to freeze spontaneously. There seems to be no 1 reason for this.

  It normally starts with a single application does not (internet explorer, microsoft word) and then just completely freezes so I have to reset it.

  Any suggestions please?
  Thanks in advance.

  It's really hard to say what the reason for this.
  You use the factory settings? I want to say did you install your own version of Windows, or is the image of Toshiba preinstalled on your laptop?

  It could be a hardware or software problem and if you have the factory settings I recommend to check the RAM and HARD drive. This is why you can use Memtest86 and Drive Fitness Test. use Google to find the two programs, they are free and easy to use. Just download a CD image, burn it to a disc and start from it.
  So, you can determine what the problem is.

  In the worst cases, you must go to an authorized service provider to check your laptop.
  I doubt that it s an overheating problem. The fan should work correctly because the laptop is only 2 months old you can hear the fan?
