• Satellite L855-123 freezes from time to time

  Hello

  My laptop freezes from time to time, especially just after that is (re) starts. Most of the time the audio or the video freezes for a few seconds (any program I use), it affects everything else too (for example, when music freezes, google chrome will act weird as well), but I am able to move as much as I please.

  In Event Viewer, there is a lot of "iastor, id: 9" since the 20th of this month (the day all gel started to happen). But as of yesterday, it seems to be have been replaced by "atapi, id: 11» I don't have any new software before all this happened?

  I looked around and tried a couple things that have helped others: off Link State Power Management; made sure all drivers have been updated; Uninstall Intel Rapid Storage Technology. Nothing seems to work here however.

  If all goes well, there is something else I could try before I have to go through the hassle of reinstalling windows 7 or get new hardware.

  Thank you.

  I guess you do not reproduce this problem of gel.
  It very difficult to talk about issues that cannot be reproduced or occur occasionally.

  But you mentioned the 'file iastor in your ad.
  Iastor belongs to the Intel AHCI / RAID or SATA driver package.

  So I think that the problem is related to the HARD drive or the HARD disk controller.
  I recommend you update Intel® Matrix Storage Manager and Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver to the latest version (check page Intel).

  If this is insufficient, recover laptop using Toshiba recovery disc.
  In case this is not enough, you should check if the internal HARD drive might be the occasional reason for this system of freezing.

• Satellite M70 goes out from time to time

  Hi all!
  I had a problem with my M70. From time to time its just turned off. Then I need to plug off the coast of the AC adapter / CC, wait 15 seconds, and then it can start again with or without adapter.
  What can I do?

  Hello

  I presume that there is overheating problem. Please do not forget that your unit can take a breath. If I remember correctly this unit a fan in the lower corner. Do a little experiment and put the laptop on four books or two on the top to make a distance between the laptop and the desktop. On this way the cooling fan may have more ACI for cooling.

  How old is your unit? You clean it sometimes?

• Satellite A300-1MT freezes from time to time

  Hello.

  My lay is old and only 3 days and the only problem is that it freezes every time.
  I use it on AC/high performance. I just work on it, and when I run the installation of a game it freezes usually, when sometimes I'm working on it, just browse the internet or write in word, it just freezes, did some stupid lines on the screen and that's it.
  I have to stop it by pressing the button for 6 seconds.

  I watched the temperatures. CPU is the GU of 60-65, 50-55 and HDD on 40-45 degrees. and when it's freezing, HDD Led goes off, all the others are bright white.

  Can someone tell me what to do? What is the problem?
  Should I take it back and get a new one?

  TNX

  Hello!

  It is not easy to say what is the reason for this problem, but I think this could be a problem of the RAM or the motherboard.

  In your case, I would check the RAM with Memtest86:
  [www.memtest86.com]

  Did you install the laptop with the Toshiba recovery disc or disc of Microsoft?
  Maybe reinstall Windows might also solve the problem. Try it.

  Good bye

• Satellite L40 - 18Y: corrupt system files - how to use the recovery partition

  Greetings,

  One of my friends bought the Bulgarian electronic Toshiba Satellite L40 - 18Y (PSL48E) from a major retailer and insists on the fact that it came without any CD, but the first time he installed Vista.

  After that some of his other friends have uninstalled Vista and XP for unknown reasons (he says that some drivers and patches were necessary to make XP work properly, I think he might have something on LBA48 and SP1).

  In any case, installing XP died, and the disk share is the file system is damaged.
  After I removed it with gparted I have two disk actions now.
  1st row in the table to partition: ntfs share labeled WinRE (no hidden bootable)
  (He has a stash of file RavMon.exe and autorun.inf which implies that damage to the installation of XP are perhaps caused by a virus)
  Second row in the partition table: empty (installation of XP was)

  Third row in the table to partition: ntfs share with data

  The problem is that the first partition unbootable and act like partition recovery, even when I toggle the boot flag.

  It is all recovery partition and how I should go?
  I read in some messages if you press '0' when the computer starts the Bios it will start automatically, but it did not work.

  A manual which was available for download for this model on Toshiba Support site the key has been specified as F12. It didn't work either.

  I'll be very grateful for directions, solutions or ideas.

  Hello

  There is perhaps a little change to reinstall Vista with the HDD recovery procedure.
  Please check if it would work.
  -Turn on the laptop and press F8
  -Check if there is an option called fix my computer
  -If so, select it, and then choose the last option called Toshiba recovery.

  But to be honest I don t see the chances it would work because you have already removed the Vista from the HARD drive.

  You must have read the user manual before deleting the Vista.
  The manual (Chapter 3), said that if the recovery DVDs has not been handed over with Notepad then you create the DVD using the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator (is was also preinstalled). The user manual also describes the above HARD drive recovery procedure.

  However, the recovery DVDs can also be ordered here:

• Why does predictive mode spontaneously to go out from time to time?

  Why settings - general - keyboard - predictive spontaneously turn off itself from time to time? I'll type a SMS or e-mail, and sometimes using the dictation feature, but sometimes the predictive mode disappears. Given the complexity and the hidden nature of the premises, is not something that you can meet by chance, so I can't understand why.

  Maybe there's another secret gesture or key combination which is the cause. If this is the case, we hope, there is another secret gesture I can learn to cancel his disappearance. It's a pain to go back and manually reset.

  Quick Type 101. Tap the word Centre and swipe down to HIDE. Swipe up from the long oval between the keyboard and the text box to the SHOW.

  Hope that helps.

• Re: Satellite beeps Pro 4 times at the beginning upward

  When I turn on my Satellite Pro it rings 4 times then stops.

  After a few seconds, that the fan turns off, the power button stays on, but nothing else happens.

  Can someone tell me what mean the beeps?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  In order to provide a precise answer, we need exact description of the model. Toshiba has two different BIOS on different models of Toshiba and I believe that they have different codes. It's certainly the hardware problem, but it can be all to implement, RAM CPU.

  I think anyway, there is nothing that you can do it alone. Only thing you can do is to contact the nearest authorized service provider and ask for help. using diagnostic tools, they can say which hardware component is defective.

• Satellite A100 - 192 PSAA9: display black stills from time to time

  Hello

  Satellite A100 - 192 PSAA9 with card ATI X 1600.

  Despite the fact that I have installed the latest driver on Toshiba support site, screen darkens (off) from time to time for no apparent reason.

  I turn off the computer by pressing the button for a few seconds.

  When I turn on the computer, the screen is still dark, even if the computer starts.

  Only after I take the battery from the computer and on new and then turn on the computer, the screen is OK.

  I could not know if it's a hardware or software problem.

  Computer is one and a half years.

  I wanted to know if anyone has had such an experience before taking the computer to the service center.

  Do you use the Toshiba original pre-installed factory image?

• When I turn my Satellite L40 - 18L the time adjustments

  Hey,.

  I have some problems with my Satellite L40 - 18L model no PSL48E.
  I bought it 3 years ago, and now when I turn on my computer, the time changes and restarts to December 23 ^ rd ^, 2008, at midnight.

  Thank you, Fabio

  First try the CMOS/RTC battery is fully charged.

• Satellite P750 makes funny noise from time to time during playback of music, etc..

  I like to play a lot of music on my laptop, but lately this strange keeps randomly which occur. It almosts seems the track froze upwards, but this isn't because he continues to play (like a disk scratched in a cd drive freeze?).

  It's just from time to time, but it is very visible, especially when we played through my good external speakes. It occurs through the built-in speakers, standard headphones and external speakers.

  I was wondering if one has ideas of what is and how can I solve this problem, because it's really annoying me.
  Thank you

  Your ad is quite general and there is not a single relevant info that can help us understand the problem described.
  Music can be sound you hear while you watch movies, audio CDs, MP3s, internet radio, and so on.

  This happens in the case or how to understand this?

• Satellite L40-139: new graphics driver is causing the problem after waking from sleep

  I have a three month old Toshiba Satellite L40-139 (PSL40E) with 1 GB of RAM with Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium pre-installed. This laptop worked very well for me for the basic headquarters far tasks, and I would have no problem recommending.

  In the last days I've updated the software and drivers from the Microsoft Update web site.

  Since the update driver Mobile Intel(r) 945 Express Chipset Family (to version 7.14.10.1350, dated October 18, 2007), the screen resolution at 800 x 600 after awakening from the sleep state. The only way I found to fix it is to restart the PC.

  Other articles published on the web, I understand that this particular driver (Mobile Intel(r) 945 Express Chipset Family driver 7.14.10.1350 version) has caused many other problems on a variety of hardware and software platforms.

  Does anyone have a definitive solution for Satellite L40?

  I looked at four options.

  1. let the new installed driver and restart Windows each time after waking up from sleep mode. Rather, I must not do this.

  2. using the Restore Point created by Windows Update before the update of the driver, roll back to an earlier time. This seems to be a good course if it works.

  3 download an older version of the driver and reinstall it. I don't know which version would work but note that others have had success with the 7.14.10.1280 version. I guess a similar version could be included in the driver Package that can be downloaded from Toshiba Europe site, but have heard that the time required to download this software can exceed ten hours and am therefore reluctant to try.

  4. the fourth option is not really possible. I should be able to "Roll-Back" the driver in Device Manager, but the button is disabled.

  Although only a minor problem, it is very irritating and I would like to address them without causing other problems. Does anyone else have this problem? Someone has fixed it successfully?

  Hello Peter

  If I understand correctly, you use your usual laptop for daily work and you don't need any computer high-performance notebook. If I'm right I have to say that you should be happy if the laptop works well and stable.

  I don't really see any reason why you wanted to update chipset driver. In any case, you should try to roll back the BONES of time earlier and I hope everything will work again. There is absolutely no risk, and you can test it.

  Please post the result.

• How do we uninstall sound card from the bios on a Satellite L40?

  I bought a Creative Soundblaster 5.1 and install having problems with him. The technical team was advised to uninstall or diasble internal sound card via Device Manager. Tried and every time computer re - starts the sound card is re-installed.

  The team informed that I should uninstall it from the bios. I have only a very basic knowledge of computers, it would be appreciated if someone could point me in the direction of the instructions, or guide me through it.

  I have a portable Satellite L40 and Vista works on the computer.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi Paul

  I got some bad news! You can't disable the sound card in the BIOS. The BIOS for laptops is just different as BIOS for the desktop PC and the menus are not the same.

  +*@McMadkat*+
  Please don t be angry with me, but I think that your suggestion is wrong.

  The sound card may be disabled in the Windows operating system device manager

• My computer with two hard drives and 2 starting systems has the car crash in the solid state. When I got the new drive and tried to restore from time capsule, I lost some data. How can I see what backups are on the time capsule? My laptop is also backed u

  My computer with two hard drives and 2 starting systems has the car crash in the solid state. When I got the new drive and tried to restore from time capsule, I lost some data. How can I see what backups are on the time capsule? My laptop is also saved to the time capsule. Everything is in 'Data' when I look through the Airport utility. I think that the information that I've lost are still there since I was a Capsule 3 to.

  Time Machine backup to a sparsebundle.

  The sparsebundle will use the share name of computer. So, it should be obvious who is your Macbook and that is your Macpro.

  Open the sparsebundle in Finder and keep open the subfolders until you get to the backup of each separate hard drive...

  You has of course set the exclusion in Time Machine?

  By default, Time Machine will exclude your second drive unless you have included it. Did you?

  Once you get to this level during the backup, you can do a full restore manually whenever you want.
