Satellite M40-236 Blue Screen of Death

A few days ago, I bought a Toshiba Satellite M40-236. I hated the pre-installed Windows XP Home Edition and installed Windows XP Pro with SP2 integrated. Subsequently, I installed all the drivers provided and recommended by Toshiba of: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU&teddProduct=5 38 & cmsFamily = Satellite & cmsSerie = Satellite + M40 + Seri are & cmsCategory = Notebooks & mode = allMachines & action = s earch

Video update of Bios, drivers and so on. Everything was well worked, installed all updates from the Microsoft update site and then tried to install Windows Media Player from the microsoft site. Then, when tried to open music file in media player him wound up Windows down with the blue screen of death. After the reboot, the blue screen remained. Tried to load in Safe Mode, last good known... no result... still blue screen.

Tried to reinstall Win XP it Recovery DVD - Rom, the same result... after that the files are copied to the HARD disk and the system is restarted, Win XP Logo current with progress bar and suddenly Blue Screen of Death :(((

Tried to do to reinstall a different version of Windows (2000, XP Home, Xp Pro, 98SE)-no result after that it says from Microsoft Windows (during installation), the blue screen of death and nothing more... STOP: 0x0000007E or STOP: 0x0000007F.

Maybe someone has the same? Can be any solution to this problem? I think because of the laptop is a new... maybe there's sth with RAM?

Hello clotidle

Well, it very difficult to tell what the problem is.
I don t think that the BIOS is wrong because as a wrong
The BIOS update procedure has damage to the motherboard and it is not possible to run or start anything.

Sorry I n t have a proper answer.
In my opinion, you should contact Toshiba service partner because I don t think that you will solve this problem yourself.

PS: You can downgrade the BIOS t.
Only the AEP has a possibility to do so.

Good bye

  • Satellite M30X-118 blue screen of death

    Hi all. Please help me with this one. The problem I have is this. After power on and loading windows of windows (the version of picture Toshiba) will crash after a few seconds with a blue screen. Windows reports that an ATI driver fell into an infinite loop and the computer stopped to avoid damage. I use the latest toshiba BIOS (1.9), ati drivers and chipset and I did a virus scan. I also tried to reinstall windows from the CD.
    What is strange is that after 2 or 3 restarts the computer works perfectly. No more reboots and not problems with the ati drivers. I even tried a few 3D games to be totally convinced. The problem is most obvious when the computer has been closed for a long time (hours or days). So maybe it's a thing of temperature. Maybe a graphic component does not work properly in times of low start-up and after a while when the temperature rises, it's ok? What do you think?
    Finally, after the exit of the hibernation mode or standby driver ati fails and that the resolution is back to 640 x 480. A reboot but corrects this problem and I don't know if it's relevant.
    Thank you for your time!

    Hi George,.

    I don't think overheating is the cause of your problem. It resembles a suspect hard drive. Usually after a period of inactivity the drive has problems reading of the driver file.

    You could try to reload the ATI driver (this should load the driver to a different location on your hard drive) and see if the problem persists.

    You disk defragmentation will not help because the drivers are usually installed in a non-transferable area of the player.

    I strongly recommend to take a safe backup of your user data at the earliest.

  • Function key on Satellite L500 causes Blue Screen Of Death

    Also if I decide to close the laptop completely and turn it back on at a later date, it of likely that it will be displayed as well. I have no idea as to why this is, but any help would be appreciated.

  • Satellite A500: BSOD (blue screen of death) - Solution

    Hello

    Well, I am engineer in Instrumentation and also related to the field of computing. In recent weeks, I see that many people in the world are stuck on this problem of malfunction or failure of the graphics card driver.

    Recently a friend brought me his laptop A500 solve this problem and the solution works very well with him for the last day 10.
    We test the laptop using games, movies n everything and it works very well!

    _ * Solution: * _

    _Step1: _ Just bring back your little of lower resolution graphics of full (my thought is its quite possible that a500 LCD or graphics are mismatch so a good step to avoid this problem is to decrease your resolution no need to change the default settings of the graphics card)

    _Step2: _ change your windoes7 to windows Basic theme and only change the wallpaper if you want (although I'm not sure this step because this step has no logic behind but maybe since windows7 use new programming so maybe a possibility that graphics files are in conflict with drivers)

    I hope that my solution will also help u, as it has done for my friend and those you spend money on the a500 will not feel say heart :)

  • Blue screen of death, the Satellite M100

    Hello

    I have Satellite M100, we had problems with the blue screen of death sometimes and then it seemed fairly constant and the only way to ensure that the system is not plant was to start it in safe mode.

    The noise had also stopped working. Decided to restore the factory settings system used the disk and everything goes well until the system started in windows allows you to go through the installation program then blue screen again. The sound seems to have returned, although it is slightly crispy.
    So don't know if this is the problem or not. Unrecoverable system error crashes and also driver_irql_not_less_or_equal.

    Now cannot start in safe mode as the windows installation did not finish...

    Any ideas anyone?

    See you soon
    Simon

    Hello Simon

    If BSOD is displayed after the installation of recovery, it may be a serious physical issue.
    Try installing the OS using the recovery discs. If the problem persists I think it's time to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider.

  • Satellite L450D - 13 X - black screen of death/Blue Screen of Death

    Hello everyone.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L450D - 13 X for children, and for the price it's a good laptop. Have had no problems with it until two weeks ago, when the screen froze for boys while playing a game and downloading a program on the net. Had to make a stop of force and since then, we have a BSoD on each startup. That's what we tried:

    On "Starting Windows", we are given the option to either 'Launch Startup Repair' that ends as BSoD or "Start Windows normally" who returns to the list of option "starting Windows."
    Any attempt enter 'Safe Mode' BSOD results.
    Attempt to boot an ISO of the disk recovery Windows on a USB key (we did put highlight and make promotion up) results in BSoD. Borrowing a correct installation of Windows 7 DVD and highlighting what an option cause BSoD.

    In fact, the only option that we used who threw something different has been using advanced startup options. On one of these options, we've got the Blue Screen of Death with the following information:

    Unmountable_Boot_Volume
    Disable memory the Bios Options such as cache/occultation

    Technical info

    Stop: 0x000000ED (0xFFFFFA80023C2CDO 0xFFFFFFFFC0000185 0000000000000000 0 x 0 x 0000000000000000)

    I don't mind erase the hard drive and leave, there's nothing on what is essential. Very, very well, I'd appreciate a steer on it. Checked the Web for things and nothing seems to help for other options. I'm not particularly tech literate but can follow directions.

    Thanks in advance.

    It is really possible that the HARD drive is faulty.
    If possible try to get another same HDD used for test purposes and install OS using the Toshiba recovery image.

    A friend of mine had a similar problem and after Exchange of HARD drive, everything went well again.

  • Blue Screen of Death and no XP CD - Satellite M70

    Hello.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite M70 that displays the blue screen of death at startup. It reads an error 0x000000ED reporting an error unmountable as the specific problem.

    Unfortunately, I have no CD of Windows XP to restore my computer. I have the Toshiba product recovery CD, but that seems like it will just format my computer, and I have important data, I want to absolutely not delete from my hard drive.

    I can't start in safe mode; Blue screen of death appears immediately at startup. If I try to pass int F8, advanced options, but after you have selected the system restore, it goes back to BSOD. I also tried to burn an ISO to the recovery file and the computer entered the Windows installation, but hangs on "Setup starts Windows.

    Any idea what the problem might be? And how can I solve this problem without deleting any info on my computer?

    THX.

    Hello

    The HARD drive can be removed very easily. It s placed at the bottom of the unit and you have to delete only one screw to remove the plastic cover that holds the HARD drive Bay.

    I think it's a better solution than you could connect to another computer via the external USB HDD controller.

    If you want to use a Toshiba Recovery CD then you must choose the advanced option which would allows you to choose the partition where the operating system would be installed.
    And this partition will be formatted

    So in this case you would also lose some files from the HARD drive

  • Satellite P205-S6337 - blue screen and the black screen with the display driver

    Hello
    It is my first time here, so let me know if I did something wrong in the post or something of the sort.

    Info:
    Toshiba Satellite P205-S6337
    Windows OS: Win XP Pro SP3 x 86 (x 32)
    BIOS version: 1.40
    RAM: 2 GB
    CPU: Intel Core2 T5300-1.73 GHz, 1.73 GHz (Dual Core)

    At the beginning I was watching a video on my laptop with Media Player Classic, I made an update of windows, after I did the update and rebooted my computer I tried to re - open the video with Media Player Classic, then once I did it kept freezing, then gives me a BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death) saying :
    'igxprd3 '.
    Beginning physical memory dump
    memory dump complete physics. »

    So I kept getting that whenever I tried to watch a movie, so I thought it was due to the update of windows, because it is is not the first time that the updates on their part messed up everything. So I reformatted and once he was done after I install all the driver I want to restart my computer, once Windows is started almost entirely the screen begins to bog down then finally go completely black, the computer seems to work very well once he does, but just no screen, so I went in SafeMode (F8) and would be either disable or uninstall the video After that it would be fine, just that it does not use the video card and all current graphic stuff are bogged down and looks bad and I installed versions older and more recent video card and it always does.

    Since I'm more savy with desktop and never loved laptop a lot, but what I've tried and what not it just seems that the video card is out. I even tried it blow and ensuring that everything is in place, but I hope I'm wrong and he is not out, if so, is there a way to put a new or add another external any?

    The only thing I could think about maybe trying to update the BIOS, but I never had no problem BIOS with any thing with that I'm not kidding, and never a update BIOS since Ive never liked to play with her.

    Hello

    In General, change the graphics card is not possible because the graphics card is attached to the motherboard. In this case the entire motherboard must be replaced and an authorized service provider can ask for help.

    A point would be interesting: you can install Windows Toshiba Recovery disk? I ask this question because it would be interesting to know what is happening with the factory settings. And you can determine if this hardware or software problem.

  • Blue Screen of death - now cannot load Windows (even in safe mode)

    Laptop last night (Satellite L500-19Z;) Win 7 64 bit) crashed while playing CIV4. Had a blue screen of death. before I had the chance to read one of the error messages about the computer restarted.

    It loaded windows in SafeMode very well then and informed me that he had loaded OK the problem safe mode will be linked to some recently installed software and I should uninstall programs I had installed until it loads normally. As it was late last night I closed and thought I would sort the morning (with the benefit of hindsight it may have been a mistake...).

    Today, when the computer tries to start, it tries a startup repair; Unfortunately it does not work every time and it says "Startup Repair tried several times but still cannot determine the cause of the problem"

    I looked at the paper it produces, but it passes all of the individual tests.

    I can't access also advanced recovery options system & support, that appears in the Startup Repair dialog box as it requires that I be connected, which apparently I am not (probably the machine never got to the windows screen connection before attempting repair system). The error message reads "you must be logged to access system recovery options. If you encounter problems to connect, please contact your computer administrator for help. Please click OK to restart the computer. »

    I had a go at the start in the advanced options (safe mode, safe mode with command etc., but the result is the same).

    I also tried the repair of your computer to the screen option options advanced boot, but after the screen where it asks you to choose the language and keyboard, I get the same error of connection mentioned above.

    Is it possible to repair or even run windows based hard drive recovery (do not have the DVD of recovery with me as I'm away from home for a few weeks) without connecting to windows? I expected here, but have not yet find a way to do it.

    (there is no disc in the disc drive, no other devices connected to the laptop - I tried with power outlet and the battery and have not noticed differences)

    Thank you

    Is it only happens using USB drive?
    Have you tried other disks USB, key USB flash or other USB devices?

    > I tried to check my RAM with memtest, but it restarts my pc once he starts the first tests.
    Hmm... It's strange...
    The problem of memory could be responsible for BSOD, but if this BSOD appears only using USB drive then I would recommend testing other external USB HDD.

    You should also try to update the driver from chipset since the chipset USB ports driver controls

  • Blue screen of death WITHOUT Flash Player!

    When I try to watch video on YouTube I have Blue Screen Of Death. Sometimes after 1 min and sometimes after 10 min. I have installed Adobe Flash Player because it is not necessary to watch videos on YouTube. I checked disable "enable hardware acceleration and I always get BSOD.» I am running Windows 8.1 with all the updates, and also I've always updated Firefox when there is a new update. I tried to install Flash Player and tried all the solutions I found on the internet but non of them work so I uninstalled Flash Player. On Google Chrome, everything works normally, but I don't want to switch to him whenever I want to watch some videos in the fear of having BSOD. Please if anyone has a solution or an idea, it would be very useful. Thanks in advance!

    Hmm, since you have already disabled the main hardware acceleration, it could be a problem with the video (or audio) decoding. For video decoding, you can try these setting changes:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press enter/return. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste media and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference media.directshow.enabled to true to false

    (4) double click on the media.mediasource.mp4.enabled preference from true to false

    (5) double-click the preference media.mediasource.webm.enabled to false to true

    (6) double-click the preference media.windows - media - foundation.enabled from true to false

    The effect of everything that should be blocking MP4/h.264 decoding and place you in the latest format WebM (VP9) YouTube. You can check the result on this page, but that might not show up after leaving Firefox and start it again:

    https://www.YouTube.com/HTML5 (the two h.264 should be red)

    It's not so convenient for other video sites, but I'm curious to know if it helps on YouTube or has the same problems.

  • Blue Screen of Death... Urgent!

    Hey all. It's a little urgent, so any help is appreciated. So the story:

    It all started last Saturday in the fourth. I plugged my 5s 32 GB iPhone in car charger and it blue screened, what frightens me. I quickly unplugged and and soft restarted as soon as I saw him, and everything was fine.

    Since then, so three days later, I had to restart about 50 + times. So today I got sick of this blue screen, and I decided that I would try to fix it. I looked around solutions, and many say that it happens shortly after a solution when you remove the screen, but I've had my phone for four months and have never had to remove from the screen.

    The next solution was to restore factory default, so I decided to try it, after that I backed up in iTunes which is

    Finally, I was getting it restored, when all of a sudden, BAM. projected again blue.

    Since then, happened across this restore Middle blue screen of death, and it's practically a piece of metal shit now. I can't do anything. I can't force the restart it you a blue screen. Can someone give me advice? I have some upcoming vacation and need my phone. Can anyone help?

    Try recovery Mode

    Connect your device to your computer and open iTunes.

    When your device is connected, force restart it: press and hold the sleep/wake and home for at least 10 seconds, and only release when you see the Apple logo.

    Keep now until see you the recovery mode screen and wait that he eat.

    You may need to do the above, more than once as recovery mode is difficult to enter.

    Restore as New first, then restore sauvegardΘ if you wish.

    If the steps above do not help, you tested it on an Apple Store.
