Satellite M40X crashing with spyware doctor

When spyware doctor™ gets up to 60%, it takes another 30 minutes to scan from there. But the main problem is when spyware doctor™ runs and another application is open as windows media player, the computer crashes and has to be restarted.
Intel centrino is inside the computer so I thought it would allow me to run both applications simultaneously.

Hi Gemma

Sorry, but I think it's absolutely wrong place for your question. By the use of the third party software you must contact the manufacturer of the software.

Only thing I can recommend is to close all applications before you start this spyware doctor™.

  • Satellite SP6000 - Crash with bands of color on the screen

    Hello!

    I have a Satellite Pro 6000 and it has worked well for more than two years. But in the last two months the laptop crashed at any time with a screen televisions flicker with stripes of color. After that, it takes time to make it work again. XP Pro is fresh installed since the recovery CD. Unfortunately, it looks like a hardware problem. An external monitor displays the same distorted screen. I don't think it's too hot and the fan is running and blowing hot air.
    It is out of warranty now and I don't want to spend a lot of money on a repair task.
    So, any suggestions for me? I don't mind opening and replacement/repair of certain parts of it, but it would be great for advice on a possible reason for this.

    Thank you in advance and bye,

    Hello

    Of course, it could be a malfunction of the motherboard connector or the power.
    But to be 100% sure that you should contact ASP, because he can do a diagnostic test, and then it can give you an exactly the answer on the fault.

  • Satellite A60 crashes with BSOD using the WLan connection

    Hello

    The son laptop works well 24/7 If you use the local cable network on web access, but as soon as we install Wifi it crashes on a regular basis (2 or 3 times an hour) with BSOD error messages - normally those helps Microsoft cant (via the event viewer report) with but it is often talking about Toshiba phone services but no solution.

    Tried two (netgear) pcmcia & usb (agere) wifi cards - exactly same problem can not maps.

    In desperation re-formatted & resettled Xp & all drivers Toshiba of original Cd of Tosh, then Xp Sp2 & then all the updates/fixes engineering including the bios from site Web of Tosh. Still crashes.

    If the software has - v installed or not makes no difference.

    A 512 extra ram on top of 256 original.

    Any ideas?

    Please believe me that it is not easy to say why the BSOD appears!
    From my personal experience, that the BSOD can occurs because of the problem of critical software, or because of the problem of equipment.

    In your case, it looks like a hardware problem (this is my personal opinion)
    Generally, the laptop should work with the external WLan USB card. I put t see no reason why it shouldn't work t.

    You said that you have updated the RAM on this laptop, I noticed on many laptops than similar issues after a RAM upgrade.

    For example; I inserted the new 1 GB RAM on my old Satellite and received a BSOD. I used a compatible but the BSOD appeared sometimes.
    After the passage of the modules to another location memory my laptop works properly!

    Please check this box. Maybe you could check if the same thing happens with your old module!

    Good luck

  • Satellite L35 - crashes with 2 GB of ram installed.

    A back of months I posted with [problems about upgrading ram | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=33029]. Eldorado was great with helping me, I appreciate it.

    I couldn't find another 1 GB which was exactly the same as the 1 GB that had been installed a few months back. So I just got 2 new sound. I installed one about 3 weeks ago, the computer works great since (1 GB OCZ + 512 MB Stock). I installed the 1 GB 2nd Sunday and I'm back to having problems. (just to clarify, they are the same exact brand, speed, model, I bought them a week and a half hand because of the discount that was on them).

    After installation of the memory so that I got 2 x 1 GB in the computer, it starts fine, but then we try to play a game and it crashes, one of the highlights being BSODS, that time it was a black screen. We tried with 2 different games, counter-strike source, and an old not very intensive game called painkiller.
    I don't know where to go from here, the memory is this - 1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 PC2-5400 200 PINS OCZ - CL 5-5-5-15
    I try to research as much as I can before you post, and the only conclusion I can come to is that it is because she is at 667 MHz.
    The two sticks were the previous 1 gb 667, but they both installed at the same time, stock stick either, if I remember correctly, 533 MHz.

    Thank you guys

    I had a similar problem of memory on my laptop to 7 years.
    I've updated with modules of 2 x 512 MB of RAM, and after a short period a BSOD appeared.

    I thought that it s a faulty RAM or a compatibility issue and so I bought a second modules. It was exactly the same. But the BSOD appeared again.
    Finally, I tested the two memory slots using the modules unique and found out that the BSOD appears only with a second location of memory in connection to high temperature.

    Simply said the high internal temperature hit my second memory slot, and this led to a BSOD. Now I can use only one memory slot.

    I don t think that your second slot memory may be defective due to the fact that you have already used the module 512 MB in the second block memory. in my opinion, the question must be linked to the new module installed memory either TI s really a compatibility issue or the second module is malfunctioning.

  • Can I install graphic driver Intel on Satellite M40X-119?

    Dear all, I have Satellite M40X-119 with Mobile Numtxpackets® 915GM/GMS, 910GML Express Chipset Family for the graphics card. I found an update on Intel's web site for the pilot, but it was written that "it is should not be used if the system has a third party graphics card", what does that mean?

    Can I install the driver for my Toshiba laptop or not.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Marc

    To my knowledge of Toshiba you recommend to use only the graphics drivers from Toshiba and if you want to use the drivers of manufacturing one another so you can do it at your own risk.
    Some people have suggested that the graphics drivers from Toshiba are slightly changed due to overheating of the card. You know, if the laptop cooling modules get a limit of performance of the graphics card driver decreases the performance of the card in order to reduce the temperature.

    I think the original Intel driver does not support this feature and that is why it s advisable to use the drivers from Toshiba.

  • Carpet * a UJ - 831S engraving options (Satellite M40X-237)

    Hello

    I recently bought a Satellite M40X-237 with this carpet * a DVD - RAM drive.
    For DVD playback in a home theater system, I usually burn DVDs with booktype set to DVD - ROM, so that the reader can read correctly.
    Problem is that the latter does not support this function.
    I was wondering if there is some kind of upgrade (pilot or possibly firmware) to make this option available?

    I couldn't find any relevant files on the support site.

    Hope someone can help me.

    Mark

    Hello Mark

    Which burning software you use for burning DVDs?

    I use Nero burning software and it works perfectly. All DVD movies are engraved on blank DVD-R and Nero application, you need the value of option media DVD and burn DVD movie.

    All DVDs are recognized by the DVD player and I can enjoy home theater.

  • Satellite M40X-126: disk blocks when the DVD-RAM has been inserted

    Hello

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite M40X-126 with a super multi drive installed. I have a problem with writing to DVD-RAM. Sometimes, when I try to write data to a DVD-RAM disc, the DVD player makes a strange noise, as if the mechanic of material is blocked inside the car. The laptop will not write any data on him and he doesn't notch in this noise. And I can't open the drive, because it is blocked by the software. And windows is blocked as well, I can't do anything. The only thing I can do, is stopped the laptop by pressing the power on button a few seconds.

    I do not think, it is a software problem. I have installed all the necessary drivers (UDF) is installed correctly. And DVD - RAM writing runs smoothly most of the time. But I have every 5 times I insert a DVD-RAM disc makes it drive this strange noise and everything is blocked.

    My disc is damaged? Who has the same behavior?

    Thank you

    Reto

    Hi Reto

    I have the same drive, but it works without problem. I know that DVD-RAM media are expensive, but all I can suggest is you buy another provider and check if it will happen again.

  • Satellite Pro M10 freeze and crash with some programs

    Hello

    I have a M10 Pro Satellite...
    A few weeks ago it's freeze and crash with some programs like wmpayer, messenger... I delivered to the authorized agent and they had not detected any problems.
    Already I have formatted several times, but the problem persists.

    Any idea what this may be?

    Thank you

    Hello

    For me it looks like you might have a motherboard problem. Formatting removes the chance that it is a software problem. Try taking 1 stick of RAM and test with it. If she continues to crash, remove that stick and try it. If she does it with the two RAM then those who are ok. HARD drive is not the culprit, so now he could either be processor or MB. Find a program to measure the heat from the laptop and run some heavy programs do overheat. If the temperature goes up and then it crashes, it could just be overheating. If it continues without overheating you either have a CPU or MB problem. I hope this helps.

  • Satellite A100-225 keeps freezing and crashing with the new HARD drive

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite A100-225 with a 100 GB SATA Hitachi drive I int it that recently started showing bad sectors. Then I bought a Hitachi 320 GB SATA II drive to replace it. I tried the drive and it was recognized right away, so I didn't need to change the SATA speed. I ran the restore a disk installed newest. The problem I have is that the computer keeps freezing and crashing with the new drive. It takes a lot of time to load up when turned on and there is a noticeable to untermittant delay when you drag the cards around solo.

    I tried to run the Hitachi drive test and it comes back fine. I also tried to turn the SATA speed of the drive down from 300 to 150 via the firmware, and although I saw a slight improvement, it is still not right.

    I talked to Hitachi and they say that he could not be 100% compatible, so the problems. Someone at - it else sucessfully set up a replacement for this notebook drive and if so what make and model. Has anyone else had simular problems?

    Thank you

    Years ago, I've updated yet more former Satellite M70 with SATA HDD (270 GB if I m remembering well) and everything was fine.
    In my view upgrade with SATA HDD normal shouldn't be a problem. Do not SATA II because it will not work faster.

    I can't say for sure, but there must be a compatibility problem.

    Let's see if someone else had better luck with the upgrade of the disk on the Satellite A100.

    Have you checked this forum with advanced search option? Maybe you can find some old NET on upgrade the HDD on A100.

  • Satellite L850 - Intermittent crashing with BSOD

    My Satellite L850-1LK crashes with the following error message intermittently: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (athw8x.sys). An online search in some other forums suggested that I should update the driver for my Atheros wireless network adapter. I did - including uninstall it completely before reinstalling with the driver downloaded from Toshiba's own site.

    I always get the BSOD, so any other suggestions would be appreciated. (I'm under 64-bit Windows 8)

    Hello

    What version of driver and what version of BIOS that you use?

    I had the same problem but not with the Toshiba laptop.
    I discovered that the installed McAfee utility causes the BSOD.
    I suggest that you remove and replace with another software antivirus like Avast! or Avira antivir.
    Both are free and can be downloaded for free.

    But of course I updated the Atheros Wlan driver too!
    You must remove the driver and uninstall the driver properly package.
    This can be done in Device Manager!
    Then clean the operating system using CCleaner!
    Reactivate the wireless lan, then install the latest driver.
    Previous updates must have replaced only part of the package of driver causing the problem.
