Satellite M40 will not stop, restart, or go into sleep mode

Hello
I need help with my laptop. Recently, I was unable to shut down my computer. After trying to close it through windows, the screen goes black, but the system and the light around the power button remains on. I can only turn off my computer by holding down the power button. Also if I try to sleep or restart, the same thing happens.

I think this may have something to do with the energy saver, since the symbol disappears sometimes, or it will be a red circle with a line crossed out through it on top of the icon. I also sometimes get a message saying that something in the sense of: "a fatal error has occurred, this program will end. code 0 x 57 ".

Any ideas on what is happening and what I can do about it?

Hello

The error message "a fatal error has occurred, this program will end. code 0 x 57"belongs to the Toshiba Power Saver installed.
I think you should try to reinstall.

Regarding Win XP shutdown issue.
Sometimes my laptop does not correctly close because of some processes that are running in the background.
Usually all processes must be closed before that windows would shut down the laptop.

But sometimes this type of process can not be closed for reason not apparent... seems that it would be if the registry could be confused to the top...

I cleaned mu OS using a cleaning tool. You can test a CCLeaner. It is not bad and free.

    Hello

    > my m40-142 cdrom drive won't start!
    > If I choose to boot from the dvd/cdrom, always my laptop boot from the disk

    The possible reasons:

    1. it does not work. Is it read cd/dvd discs when you insert the?
    2. the cd/dvd disc you insert (ithink, you're talking about windows disk) not bootable.

    > . In my view, is a bios problem. Is it possible to reinstall my BIOS?

    Yes, you should check for Bios on the Toshiba driver page:

  • Satellite A660 will not start again until I turn safe mode

    Just buy the toshiba Satellite A660: I tell the story to compensate closely in my answer, I hope...

    I just buy new, run the Setup for first use. When its up and running only in that day, that I noticed it start to hang up when I plugged the drive external hard for some Installer (adobe lightroom).

    Its still very well, but when I disable it, it does not start again until I have run in safe mode so I can save some files and rerun recovery.

    This time on 64-bit. With its completion of its process, this works well for a few hours.
    He fell faster now, maybe because its on 64-bit? (any recommendation if its 32 or 64 bit) specifications: i5, 4ram, 1 g ddcatd graphics, family win7 premium,...

    Now when I turn it off it never early return time windows say... Startup Repair. ..
    I have let it run from this morning till now they can't always find what's the problem (I'm refernce the loptop).

    So no idea about whats goin?

    > He fell faster now, maybe because its on 64-bit? (any recommendation if its 32 or 64 bit) specifications: i5, 4ram, 1 g ddcatd graphics, family win7 premium,...

    64-bit operating system is better if your computer supports 4 GB or more of RAM.
    Why? Because 32-bit Win recognizes max 3.2 GB, even if more RAM is available.
    It's limitation of 32-bit; regardless of what OS it is; Linux, Win XP, Vista, Win7, etc.
    This is the reason why the 64 bit OS are so popular in the last time

    With regard to the issue of the BONE;
    I recommend that you run a disk recovery again... This means that you need to reinstall the OS usign the option recovery Toshiba;
    During the turning on the laptop press F8, choose fix my computer-> drive HARD recovery

  • I have the latest Windows Live Mail 2011, but when standby and locks system, the only way out is to do a complete or end of Windows, restart then go into sleep mode. This never used to happen until Windows 2011 has been upated in my PC.

    I forget always at the end of the lIve session of Windows before you put it in standby mode, the PC appears and then lock properly said, in response to anything, so I have to do a reboot complete, very annoying.

    Also when working within Windows 2011, if you add a lot of attachments to an e-mail, I have often to do and then send it, the list of attachments disappear off the screen, so when you send you do not know really which was transmitted, horrible situation, so you must include send to yourself, then you can check what has been sent. Stupid!.

    How can I get rid of these flaws?

  • Satellite A100 - will not charge the battery

    Hello

    I have ned to help. My Satellite A100 will not charge the battery. He works the power adaptor for the led indicates charging status, battery shows 1% of loading tatus information, but none does change - no loading any time. When disconnected everything just stops off like normal desktop.

    I've already put battery in and out, made upgrades to the antivir software, makes Toshiba controls, tests, but what ever he did did not any change. If there is no way for restoration of battery how to check what the problem is I have no second battery or AC I can always buy new batttery but I don't know if the old one is broken and weather new would work properly?

    Best regards
    pawelg

    Hi pawelg,

    I agree with the user above. The battery can be charged only up to 500 times, and after that, it must be replaced. I think it's the case now, I mean that everything works correctly on the AC adapter so I think that the battery must be the reason for this.

    By the way: you can buy a new battery to an authorized service provider. ;)

    Hi marcus,

    1. What is the full error message that you receive?

    2. have you recently trying to install a program on the computer?

    Method 1

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you perform a clean boot and check.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP 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.

    See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

    How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State

    Reset the computer to start as usual

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    (a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

    (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

    (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails, then repair Microsoft office on the computer and check if it works.

  • 18 XPS does not start, the power light will not stop flashing

    I was upgrade this computer to Windows 10, I did install one instead, but the children had spyware which even then showing upwards. I did a refresh, there no I did an installation and finally got in windows. Some updates installed and restarted.

    The computer was bricked since. The only thing that happens is the LED which indicates the power above, the button will not stop flashing white light. Connected or not connected, after having held down the power button for 5, 10 and 30 seconds, the led stops flashing for a while and then again. I tried several points of sale. No idea if it is a coincidental breakdown.

    I'll change that.  I went back in and re-removed the cable from the battery.  I also removed the CMOS battery cable this time... I was at least an error message on the screen and access to the BIOS!
