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
Dan

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.

  • Satellite A660-18 freezes randomly

    My Satellite A660-18 freezes randomly especially when I play games or watch video.
    Also sometimes when I'm just passing the mouse. He is 1-2 times a week/2 weeks. When it happens the screen freezes but the audio on for a while and does not react to any keypress so I have to manually turn it works.

    I don't think it's a graphics card overheating issue, as happens sometimes in just a few minutes after I turn on my laptop and I use a cooler pad as well.

    Hello

    This sometimes happens, it means that you can't reproduce it, which means that it s really hard to tell what could cause this.
    Theoretically, it could be just a software problem. Perhaps only the registry is damaged.
    In this case, the new OS installation must be carried out.

    Of course it could be also related to memory: to test the RAM by using some tools such as mem86 + or similar.
    Also, make sure the HARD drive; for this, you can use the tool called Drive Fitness Test.

  • Satellite L450D PSLY5E freeze during the BIOS update - now does not turn on

    Hi guys,.

    I have a Satellite L450D. I recently tried (unfortunately) update the BIOS after a clean installation, because the FN key no longer working to bring up the toolbar.

    Winphlash program froze near the end and the system remained frozen for a good half-hour. The only way out was to remove the battery (as I know in any case).

    Now, the system will light with battery in or out and plugged in. I guess I've damaged the hard drive or the card mother or something.

    Is it possible to fix? Or is it?

    Thank you very much for your help.

    BTW - I know now not to update the BIOS unless it is ABSOLUTELY necessary and well advised.

    Joey

    > I guess I've damaged the hard drive or the card mother or something.

    The disk HARD isn t damage but the Rom module where the BIOS is stored was not flashed properly.
    I guess that this happened because the flash procedure was interrupted.

    I'm not sure if this can be fixed perhaps the service guy could flash the ROM module with special disc of crisis of the BIOS.

    I keep fingers crossed

  • 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.

  • Satellite P300 - 161 freeze randomly.

    Hi all

    I have some problem with my Satellite P300-161.
    He is running on MS Vista and I get random freezing with the computer laptop everything.

    By freezing, I hear every application that runs past to the mode "not responding" and it freezes for about 10 seconds, then after 10 seconds or so everything will return to normal. HOWEVER, sometimes in frozen mode, I can thaw the laptop while hitting / drawing the space next to the touchpad... I know it's bad, but it's the best way to solve this problem.

    Is there anyone who knows why it freezes like that? Internal hardware problem? This component is under the area as I type?

    Oh I should add also that when he is in frozen mode, there is this very very slight hum from the laptop, that noise disappears as soon as the laptop stops freezing.

    Thanks in advance.

    PS. I uninstalled the operating system more twice if the OS is not the problem as I know.

    Why create the son second on the same topic?
    I think that you should not create different threads and should follow your first discussion:

  • Satellite L300 keeps freezing

    My laptop freezing guard... it does not always happen, but it began to occur regularly in recent weeks, where all programs stop responding and I can't open the Task Manager, so the only thing to do is to turn the power off.

    I tried to reboot in safe mode and restored a system that seemed to work temporarily, but it began to happen again, and even do another restore did not resolve the issue. My laptop is only 8 months old and is updated Norton antivirus running. I did full virus scans but have not picked up anything. The gel does not seem to be caused by any particular software - they just happen randomly, sometimes after an hour or two, sometimes not at all, and sometimes very shortly after I start the computer.

    I also run the Toshiba PC tool help diagnosis that came with the computer, and that captures all the problems with the hardware. It seems to be a software rather than a hardware problem, but I can't think of anything that I recently installed which would cause problems, and also the fact that no program is especially on the gel makes it difficult to determine what the problem is.
    Other than the tool of diagnosis, System Restore and Norton running, I don't know what to do!

    My system is a satellite of toshiba L300, running Vista Home Premium SP1, the processor core 2 duo 2.00GHz, with 2 GB of RAM.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    I would recommend first to remove Norton Antivirus because this tool needs a lot of material resources and downs slow down the system.
    Instead of Norton, you can use the Avira Antivir.
    This software is free and can be downloaded from different pages. I also use it and I m really satisfied.

    In addition, you should check if this gel are not related to the high temperature.
    You could clean the fans using a jet of compressed air. It will help you to remove the dust from the fans and cooling grids.

    Check it!

  • 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 P10 - 873 freezing randomly

    Hi all

    I have a P10 and several times per day on average the machine seems to freeze in Windows XP for 5-10 seconds. During this time you cannot move the mouse or use the keyboard. Often during this time the fan comes into play at its highest level, but the strange thing is it is not always do it when the fan runs at the highest setting.

    The machine made the day 1 and now if she was 8 months old.

    It is not a spyware or virus problem, I use all of the latest drivers and tried to reinstall the software preinstalled without success.

    Anyone else have this problem or knows how to solve this problem.

    I lost a little confidence in Toshibas, my first was faulty and had to go back and am now beginning to regret not trying to fix this soon I am the new replacement, at that time did not really want to go through the entire process of sending another laptop, so decided to live with it.

    Thank you

    Hello

    The fact that fans sometimes go into action during these temporary freezes suggests that intense CPU activity takes place during this period. Fan activity is almost always related to the activity of the UC somehow. Do you have any process or scheduled for execution of routine tasks? I think that Windows Update will check for updates regularly as will of the available ad ware and spyware products =. You can also have a running anti-virus software that seeks to control internet updates available.

    You don't say if you laptop is connected permanently to the internet, but it is possible that some process attempts to locate a suitable COM port and is causing the rest of your laptop to hang until it times out.

    It may well be a case of trial and error to locate the offending process because there will be many background processes present in XP

    In most cases, a more high internal temperature might be the reason of these similar symptoms of laptop.

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

    I suggest you follow the method below and check if that helps.

    Method 1.

    Step 1. Try to go to safe mode and check.

    Start the computer in safe mode and check if the problem persists. Safe mode is a diagnostic mode in which you are connected with only the minimal necessary services and active pilots. Check if the number is reproduced.

    To switch to safe mode see the link given below

    Try to go to safe mode and check.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/Windows-startup-settings-safe-mode

    If the problem does not exist in safe mode, try to perform a clean boot and check.

    Step 2: Perform the clean boot.

    Place your system in the clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. Check this question in the clean boot state.

    It is not easy to say why this happen, but I think it's certainly software related issue.
    I don't know how much experience do you have with the operating systems and are you ready to look for a problem or you want to solve this problem quickly.

    If you want to quick fix use Toshiba recovery disc and reinstall the OS. With the own operating system preinstalled, everything should be OK again.

    Otherway follow the instructions I found on the internet:
    ------------------------------
    I have a few here that might solve the problem.

    First of all, I suggest that you start the computer in safe mode and of control; safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not run in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed that, follow these steps to start the computer in safe mode with networking:

    (A.) to restart the computer using safe mode, restart the computer and press the F8 key for about four to five times. Appears in safe mode listed in the advanced options of Windows. Select Safe Mode, and then press ENTER.

    Now check if you are able to work with your programs, if you are able to start the computer in safe mode only, then the problem may be with all the conflicting startup items on your computer.

    (B) you may need to perform the clean boot on your computer, to help troubleshoot error messages and other issues, you can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    The following link has steps showing how to perform the clean boot: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

    (1) perform the clean boot (check the link to perform the clean boot)
    (2) enable half the services
    (3) determine whether the problem returns
    (4) enable half of the startup items
    (5) determine if the problem returns
    (6) repeat the steps above until you find out which program or service is causing the issue

    After you determine the startup item or the service that is causing the problem, contact the manufacturer of the program to determine if the problem can be solved. Or, run the System Configuration utility, and then click to clear the check box of the element of the problem.

    Note: Please make sure that the computer is configured to start as usual according to step 7 of the article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

    If the problem persists, I suggest that you perform a scan of the file system [SFC] checker on the computer, this replaces the corrupt system files with system Version of Windows on the computer files, follow these steps to perform a scan:

    I suggest to empty the temp folder and later, follow these steps:

    i. Click Start > type % temp % in the start search box > press on enter > delete everything present in the temp folder.

    1. Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.
    2. right click on cmd in the list programs and then click Run as administrator.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue
    3. at the command calls, the following line and press ENTER: sfc/scannow

    When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problem you are experiencing is resolved.
