  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 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.

• Satellite L450D keeps freezing randomly

  Hello

  I recently bought a L450D refurbished: Win 7 64 bit, 4 GB ram, 2.1 Ghz AMD dual core, it works much faster than my Toshiba 1 year anyway.

  The problem is, it keeps freezing randomly. When this happens the screen looks like the picture in the link, mouse and keyboard are completely insensitive, but I left it and the battery is flat it beep?

  

  So far I've only updated windows, it is the partition of Toshiba hard disk but f8 during the startup does not seem to do anything and when I tried to write the recovery disc it burned but said unable to end of file during the verification step.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated,
  Thank you

  Hello

  Mobile on the photo looks like a problem with a graphics chip.

  Maybe the laptop freezes because of the high temperature of the GPU. What do you think that?

  Have you noticed a higher temperature?

  If Yes, try to clean the cooling fans using a jet of compressed air you should also try an update of the display.

• Re: Satellite L300 - Keep recovery partition when you use DBAN

  Hello

  I usually use DBAN to wipe my drives, however, I am interested in doing this on a laptop without destroying the recovery partition.

  Essentially on a satellite L300 I want to erase the HDD using DBAN (Darik Boot and Nuke) (while maintaining the recovery partition), and then perform a clean installation of Windows 7. Is this possible or should I look at another alternative?

  Thank you

  I don t use DBAN and may not give you the right answer, but one thing I must say: create a recovery DVD using the Toshiba recovery disc creator pre-installed and after doing this, you can do whatever you want.

  If a problem occurs, you can install OS using these disks.
  Please note: when you install using Win7 clean recovery of recorded disc image non-Toshiba makes no sense more because you will not be able to start the recovery of HARD drive more. For factory again, you must use Toshiba recovery DVD.

• 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 P10 keeps freezing upwards

  Hi I need help, my Satellite P10 series keeps crashing in recent weeks. I run a defrag, and error checked the laptop. I also deleted many files to free up space and I'm not sure what to do.

  Most of the time it crashes, it just freezes, sometimes I let a time - in case it is just a moment 'normal' than laptops, but it's just frozen! I have to stop it, and of course I continue to lose data because of this!

  Can someone help me?

  Hello

  Maybe it's a problem of overheating of s. have you checked the cooling fans?
  If there is a dust or debris so the cooling vents don't work properly and can't cool the inside of the laptop.
  You can use a vacuum cleaner to clean the fans. Maybe it helps.

  Please let me know if it works.

  Best regards

• Satellite A100 keeps freezing after a short period

  Hi, I wonder if anyone can help.

  I have a Satellite A100 laptop. The laptop starts without any problem. However, after a short period of time the system crashes and I have to reboot the machine.

  I am running Windows XP Home Edition. I tried to reinstall a new copy of windows XP Edition family. However, the laptop continues to freeze when I try to do something.

  Although the real time, it takes before it freezes changes each time.

  I have two 512 MB RAM chips, and I thought it was a fault memory. So I took each chip out, leaving the other chip in. It makes no difference, the machine hangs with either chip.

  Help, please. I would like to hear from anyone who might suggest what's not here.

  Thanks in advance

  Maybe the temperature inside the laptop could be the reason of this gel.
  I had once similar there is question. My frizzy 6 specifications because the temperature affected the memory modules.
  So I cleaned the cooling fans using a jet of compressed air and I replaced the thermal grease which is a space between the cooling module and CPU. This helped...

  You can try to clean the cooling also fans. But be careful and if you have no experience, then a mobile technician should help you.

  Good luck

• Satellite A100 - keeps freezing and crashing

  Hello
  I've got a 2.5 years old Satellite A100. He was going well until recently, when I found that the pc freezes completely - this looks only happen when I move the cursor on the screen. The only thing I can do, it's a hard re-boot.
  The problem has become more common, and I had to reinstall the operating system (using the disc that came with the laptop). After you have reinstalled everything worked well. But all of a sudden the same problem reappeared. I thought maybe it was different software clash between them and so I once again re-formatted the hard drive and reinstalled the operating system.
  This time it froze once more as I move the mouse around the screen. But it's happened before that I had installed anything on the PC. It is an entirely new installation.

  I also want to mention that this problem occurred first a year ago. At that time I had to wipe the hard drive and reinstall the OS and it worked fine until about 2 weeks ago, when I've updated my "spybot search & destroy ' software." It was after this the problem started again. The rest of the story is as above.

  Just to mention that, after that the problem started 2 weeks ago, I reinstall the mouse driver using the touchpad driver that is available on the Web from Toshiba site.

  Please help - I have been re - install the OS on / off power for 2 weeks now and I still have the problem. I am close to giong out and buy a new PC!

  Hello

  It's strange, and I think it looks like a hardware issue because you used the disk recovery Toshiba and after that, the same problem occurs.

  But it's not easy to say what causes this problem. You can check the RAM and HARD drive using Drive Fitness Test and Memtest86. Use Google to find the two programs. You can download an image bootable in these two programs. You must burn it to a CD and boot from it.
  If the peut t-tests is a mistake your laptop should be checked by a technician for laptop.

  Maybe you can find the problem yourself, and to swap the RAM or HARD drive, it's pretty easy.

• Satellite C660D keeps freezing

  This laptop is only two months and continues to freeze on a daily basis, the only thing I can do is to turn off and then restart. Help, please

  Reinstall the OS using HARD drive recovery option and start using the laptop with the "settings" again.
  Use a few days without installation of additional software to see if everything will be OK.

• Satellite L500 keeps freezing

  Hello

  I bought this computer a month ago, and last week it started to freeze without reason.

  I could use internet or I could use Word, it could even be sitting there idle and it freezes.
  CTRL Alt Del dosent even the only way to remedy the situation we work shut it off and restart. I brought the computer because I do a degree United Online and it's not really helping.

  Hello

  Have you noticed a higher temperature while the laptop freezes?
  In most cases, a more high internal temperature might be the reason of these similar symptoms of laptop.

  What about new OS install?
  Have you tried that?

  Otherwise, I recommend that you run the recovery of HARD drive that allows you to reset the device to factory settings

  You should also check the RAM using a tool of memtest...

• Satellite L300-29W - Freezed and crash

  I received this laptop as a gift for Christmas, so the thing is less than three months. It works fine and dandy until yesterday. I went down for a few hours and my laptop is put to sleep after two but when I came it was completely frozen. Ctrl alt delete didn't work so I had to shut it down by holding the main button. I turned on it and everything seemed to work ok until I started watching a video online. I had not touched a fifteen minutes and the browser crashed, followed by the computer, with ctrl alt del does not. I turned off completely and left overnight.

  I come back on it today and a friend recommended I get the battery to see if it was a problem with that. After he touches don't for about fifteen minutes crashing again (so apparently my battery is fine). I have the free version of Avast anti virus and it began there say he had caught a virus, I scanned my computer and deleted with avast and re-analyzed two days. The re-scan said that the computer was clean, so I don't know if the virus is still in hiding there or something. It is not overheating (was a quite normal temperature the last time it happened) and I have no idea what to do next.

  I don't really know anything about computers spent turn on the guys, so that any help would be appreciated but its going to have to be in English or I are completely lost :) Thank you

  Hello Sarah

  At first, I have to give you a great compliment. The description of your problem is really good and understandable. Many people here should read your validation in order to see how it should be done correctly.

  Back to your problem:
  I had similar problem after waking from sleep mode and wasn't able to find out what was wrong there. The configuration of your laptop is not known to me and I do not know what applications you use on your laptop, but it can happen that General information during the implementation/application process to problems when your laptop goes into sleep mode. On my laptop, I had always error message appears each time after sleep mode.

  It will be interesting to know if the same problem occurs when standby mode extended (FN + F4).
  Can you please test and validate the result?

• Satellite A500 Pro keeps freezing

  Help...

  I have a Satellite A500. It keeps freezing.

  Sometimes it will boot when turned on, but then as soon as I select a program to open, it freezes.
  I can't do anything. I can't control alt delete to open the Task Manager. The only thing I can do is to turn off the power.
  So when I turn it back on, it asks me to start in safe mode, I say yes, but the same thing happens.

  Sometimes it starts and you can go in outlook and check a few emails and I think it works fine, then it stops and says not responding do not. Then I go to Explorer and the same thing happens.
  I have try the Task Manager, but it will not come to the top.

  So I have to stop again. It's very frustrating.
  I have installed Norton and nothing comes to say there's a virus problem.
  I have no error message, it stops just to work.

  Help, please!

  The same happens when you start in safe mode? Test it please. Play around a bit with a few options or applications.

  Since when did you notice this behavior?
  On this virtual path, it is not easy to say why this is happening. It will be interesting to know how your work laptop with factory so if possible to save all your data and install the new OS by using the original installation disc of recovery.
