Satellite M30x - BSOD at startup - F8 does nothing

After loading some software my m30x keeps restarting itself.
Unfortunately, the blue screen of death happens before I choose my account (XP) and it goes through the reboot sequence.

Screen says to press F8 on startup to enter safe mode, but that doesn't matter.

How can I get in mode start safe and no idea on how to solve this - if I can load XP so that I can perform a restore, but that seems very far at present.

Thank you

Hello

Usually if the Advanced Boot Menu does not start pressing the F8 key then you will not be able to boot into safe mode.

In your case I n t see any other solution than starting from the Toshiba restore CD and reinstall new OS :(

Welcomes the MAN

  • Satellite M30X-165: new HARD drive does not work

    Hi, I want to replace the old hard drive, HITACHI 80 GB in my Satellite M30X 165. I bought SEAGATE Momentus 5400.3 120GB but it seems that it may not be recognized by the BIOS. Anyone know what to do or what types of discs can be used in this notebook? Thanks for help.

    Hello

    Sometimes a bios update has solved many issues about installing new hardware.

    BUT Please note: the Bios has a limitation of size of HARD drive support. Not all sizes are supported. I guess that the 120 GB are too big and therefore you can not use it!

    You must switch to a smaller size. Check with a 80 or 100 GB HARD drive

  • Satellite A100 - BSOD on startup and often refuses to load windows.

    Hello

    I've had my laptop A100 little over 3 years now and there is a moment he began to stop loading when I lit. He would often be an opportunity "the window loading" icon and then stay there indefinitely. Then he began to spotaneously telling me that I had a blue error screen and restart the whole process.
    Sometimes it lights fine.

    The battery is no longer in charge right now that when I plug in my laptop it trying to load (but it remains at 0%). The computer will work without batteries.
    I think (or maybe just imagine) that if I wait until the orange light for the batteries to charge turns off until I turn on my laptop it tends to start the first time.
    Can someone tell me what is the problem with my laptop and if there is anything I can do about it?

    Thank you
    Jen.

    Hi Jen,

    There are many reasons that can cause this kind of behavior...
    -Make sure that the hard drive is free of errors
    -check if the battery is ok (check the duration)
    -load for 24 hours
    -check the memory (ramtest)
    in many cases the hard disk has errors, bad would be a damaged mainboard...
    but without checking the components, you will not be able to determine the "real"...

    ask a help servicepartner

    perhaps only the battery is bad...
    start the laptop without battery and watch if failures happen again.

  • BSOD 0xC4 appears on Satellite M30x

    Hello

    Since yesterday I have Blue Screen Of Death, a few minutes after the beginning of my Satellite M30x. The error code is 0xC4.

    Sometimes IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. I used the CD to reset the default settings, but now the image is the same: blue screens, until Windows has finished starting.
    But if I use the F8 key to get the protected mode there is no problem. Please help me solve the problem!

    On a Switzerland Toshiba site I found information (in German) that produced M30x tend to restart:

    http://ch.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/de/generic/PRODUCT_UPDATE_SAT_M30X_CH

    Thank you very much!

    Hello

    I think you should check if the BSOD issue could be resolved using new memory modules RAM.
    I remember my old laptop had a similar problem. The OS crashed and nothing has worked. The question was about the faulty RAM module.
    I first checked how the laptop would be using RAM that one alone. This helped to discover how faulty RAM module.
    Then I replaced the RAM and re-tested

    Since the notebook then run as it should.

  • Carpet * a DVD-RAM UJ-820 s does not work in Satellite M30X 122

    Hello!

    I am owner of a Satellite M30X - 122 Notebook with Mat * one reader CD DVD-RAM UJ-820 s.

    In recent weeks the disc suddenly stops working during normal use, no error message, in Windows XP System Device Manager all entries are ok, the drive is enabled and visible.
    !! Optical media access LED lites permanently, so that the reader is always available!
    I have tried using different CD, reboot Notebook, removing battery State is always the same, LED blinks several times then it lites permanent.
    After a few hours this phenomenon disapperars and I can use the drive without any problems. ! It is very annoying!

    Someone at - it experience with this problem? Please let me know.

    Don't you think that the drive needs to be replaced?
    In this case (I tried a Mat * a DVD - RAM UJ-820 s on the www, I found none just renovated, new readers) does anyone know where to get a new, or a compatible UJ-820 s drive.

    Thanks in advance.
    Have a good evening.

    Hello

    I don't know where you live and can not recommend any PC shop but you can order it by the authorized service partner.

    You can also view s manuals for Satellite M30X, and page 5, you will find a list of all compatible optical disk drives. Do not buy the same but much better if you want. I hope that this info will help you find the new drive.

    Troubleshooting I can't say a lot. Try to remove the device from Device Manager and reboot the device and test again but with original media only. Make sure that you can see the contents of the CD or DVD using Windows Explorer.

    If nothing is done check for replacement.

  • Satellite P200-1 to 4 does nothing on AC/battery

    Hi all

    I have a problem with my Satellite P200-1 to 4.
    When I connect the battery to the power adapter, the laptop does nothing (no lights, no sounds)

    When I dosconnect the battery and leave the AC in place, the system starts normally.

    I tried another battery of a friends P200-1 has 4 (that works), but in my laptop, nothing is left.

    It seems therefore that I can use the laptop on the sector now.
    One of you had a simular problem or have a solution for me?
