Satellite M50: laptop freezing problem

Hello

Problems with a fairly new M50. Recently it started to freeze, can only switch with switch / stop. It takes at least 15 minutes before trying again as it always freezes the OS front. But after that time will always leave you on the operating system. But sometimes it will freeze in the operating system after 20 minutes. Reformatted 3 times and had run it once for 3 hours, but with an error messages like "mobile political load failed" and the missing drivers. Later frozen after restart of the 3rd.

Can't understand why the delay? Search for viruses, etc., expelled Toshiba but no found hardware probs? Any suggestions? Is it a super virus that damaged the HD?

Hi Alaux

You reinstall the operating system with the recovery CD?
If this isn't the case, please pick up the unit with the recovery CD. This CD is put on trial and the laptop it works without any problem.
But if you used the recovery CD and the laptop freezes and has problems, please, don t install any 3rd programs. Check if the laptop if it works to clean the BONES.

Good bye

  • Access to Boot to install Satellite M50-A-110 problem

    Hello

    I just bought a Satellite M50-A-110 and wanted to install Win 7.

    Problem is that I have difficulties to access the bios press F2, esc, or DELETE...

    It worked (twice) if I could change boot USB (with a bootable USB key that I used on other computers to install win 7), still does not begin to earn 8...

    So I formatted the hard drive to get rid of all the partitions and win 8.

    Replaced the hard drive, insert the USB and now I have this message:

    "Reboot and select proper boot device."
    or Insert boot media in selected boot and press device any key..."

    So my questions are:

    -Are known issues with the m50-a-110, in the start menu? and what is the key / key combination, that I push?
    -This would be installing win 7 can only be achieved with a USB 3.0? (2 slots USB 3.0 and USB 2.0)

    Thank you for your help in advance and good luck,

    Hello and thanks for the comments. On a site I m happy to know that you have solved your problem, but on the other hand, it is not the best solution.

    Have you really taken apart your laptop to access the CMOS battery? I mean, after this action, your warranty is no longer valid.

    On this forum you can find numerous threads about the same question, where is explained what needs to be done about it and what steps are required to install Win7 on new models of laptops with preinstalled Win8 / Win8.1.

    What needs to be done first is the full stop - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2B03EY0002R01.htm
    After doing this, it is possible to enter the BIOS settings and change the secure boot settings.

    I just hope that you have created a recovery (DVD or USB) media until you have formatted your HARD drive.

    In any case, good luck with your machine.

  • Computer laptop freezing problem

    I am running windows 7 on this model: http://www.cnet.com/products/acer-v3-571g-9435/specs/

    My problem:

    Then... Although I hardly used my laptop lately because of the problem, I just shot again and the problem occurred in the first 5 minutes of the laptop being basically, it is just the gel and the only thing I can do to stop it is to close the laptop by holding the power button down , when it arrives (freezes) my laptop makes a beep until I have turn off the system and the pixels of the screen to the top with a pattern like this
    Photo:

    (but not quite this intense, usually more background would be visible)

    I don't think that there is a particular reason gel (as in, what I'm doing on the laptop when it happens), but it does not freeze up 80% of the time when I move the laptop, even if it's only a centimeter on the side makes me think that something might be wrong with the motherboard? But I have really no idea.

    The only other thing is that it is not actually frozen during the boot process, but start-up took a lot of time on the odd occasion.

    See you soon!

    Hello

    It would seem that you have a hardware problem.

    By the looks of it, you have problems with card integrated into the motherboard graphics.

    But we do not know what is the cause as you say moving the machine causes, if something can be loosened

    "Beeps" normally occur at startup and here's the advice I give for it:

    ________________________________________________________

    "beep" codes normally indicate a hardware problem / failure.

    Go to your computer manufacturer's website and look at the specifications of your PC to see what BIOS you have

    Then read this on the 'beep' error codes to try to see what failed:

    http://www.computerhope.com/beep.htm

    http://www.pchell.com/hardware/beepcodes.shtml

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/nonworkingcomponent/HT/beepcodestb.htm

    If you are unable to determine the hardware problem yourself, contact the manufacturer if under warranty.

    If it is not under warranty, find a good repair shop premises to take.

    _____________________________________________________

    Normally, computer makers give Diagnostics to test the equipment, etc.

    Dell is press F12 at startup.

    HP's press F2 at startup.

    See you soon.

  • Satellite M50 - wireless card disappeared

    Hey.

    Prolly newb question, but I just can't understand this. I can't find my WIRELESS card, my XP does not recognize it. I think I need some kind of driver for it, but I already tried to install several, including the one on this page. Problem is probably, I don't know what model of wireless card has my satellite.

    I tried google, but the jungle brought me here :)
    Thank you.

    Hello!

    What Satellite M50 laptop are you excactly?
    From Toshiba Web site shows only an Intel driver for Satellite M50 (PSM50E and PSM51E) and to Satellite M50 (PSM53E) a driver Atheros.
    Then choose your model and download the driver.

    An update of the BIOS might also solve the problem, but in your case I would try first upgrading the driver.

    Hello manual

    It is not easy to say anything because we don t know how you set up your laptops. Maybe you have preinstalled your own operating system and install responsible for stuff of this. Sorry, but it is not possible to say more without precise information how the books are preinstalled and configured.

    Check the laptop hardware. If you think that there is a problem with LAN you should discuss it with the administrator of the local network.

  • Satellite M50-130 with keyboard problem

    When my Satellite M50 starts, typing in the password box is not a problem, the sound when I reach this point and try to type in word or in internet explore or play a game.
    The same key cannot be presses twice in a row. For example, to type WWW I must press W, wait a second, then press W again and so on, otherwise it only type 1 W.

    The same thing with all the keys and I can not play with the arrow keys as you can not, for example, not side twice in a game as I have the same m key in quick succession.

    Any ideas? Cheers, Jim

    Hello Jim

    My colleague from work the same As model of mobile and he uses it to Web design and type a few codes to our database. From time to time, I'm sitting near his office and several times I looked at what he do exactly. Believe me that there are no such problems.

    It is important to say that his book is preinstalled with recovery image and slightly modified for our enterprise security needs.

    Can you please tell us since when you noticed this problem with keyboard? Are you also using recovery image and have you ever tried to fix this somehow? Have you noticed any other strange questions about your Satellite phone as a disk busy, high utilization of the processor or something similar?

  • Satellite M50 CD/DVD burning problems

    I recently puirchased a Satellite M50 with the CD/DVD Multi-lecteur. Toshiba literature indicates that it can write both write - once and several CD and DVD - writing.

    While I can burn on CD - RW and DVD - RW (DVD + RW) I can't burn discs CD - R or DVD-R (or DVD + R). The error message is something in the sense of ' does not support the driver (or reader) write once discs.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Thank you

  • Satellite M50-165 memory upgrade problem

    Hello
    I realized that I bought a model that is only sold in Saudi Arabia. This is the model of Satellite M50-165. I want to improve the memory, I bought memory from EBAY who said it works in M50 sieries, but he did not.

    I read all the manuals in Toshiba, tried to contact by phone, they said that they do not have this model.

    in any case, I'd appreciate any help in that matter, as I am looking to upgrade the system to its full potential, I guess 2 Giga.

    This description of the model:

    Model name: Satellite M50-165

  • Satellite M50-A110 - how and where activate AV sucerity 2013

    Nice day

    Well, I have a weird problem. We bought Toshiba Satellite M50, I chose this model because the local computer store has a couple of good software.

    I have a particular problem, laptop is purchased on 01.07.2014. and during the month last laptop was in use (from the stuff of sensor overheating). Guys solved the problem after almost 2 weeks. Too bad.

    Particular myresponsibility is the registration of Mcafee Antivirus more 2013.*
    I have a license key, Toshiba gave me a year license with this laptop.

    On this laptop, I have the LiveSafe-Internet Security trial. (remaning in the trial of eight days, it was preinstalled) I want to downgrade this product and use of Mcafee Antivirus plus 2013 because I have one year license of Toshiba.
    Windows OS 8.1.

    Please help me with advice, resources or link. In our service I was told to use this license key on Mcaffe Antivirus plus 2014, but it does not work.

    Thank you!

    This offer is not available in my country so I can't say with certainty how it works, but in General, recovery image contains trial version of an antivirus application preinstalled.
    If you don't want to use it just out of the system.

    What you can do is contact McAffe support and ask for help. You can also try is to download Mcafee Antivirus plus 2013 and check all the settings. I think there must be option for activation of the product.

    Have you already checked this option?

  • Satellite M50-A-110 does not recognize the new SSD?

    Hello

    I bought the M50-A-110 model and tried to replace the HARD drive by a Pro 840 Samsung SSD. The laptop does not recognize the SSD drive, so I sent him to the local Toshiba service for inspection.

    They discovered that the laptop does not recognize ALL of the latest SSD (they tried to Samsun, Intel, Crucial, Kingston and SSD Seagate). They checked, and I possible newer BIOS, so this isn't a problem, and the SSD worked fine on other computers.

    Someone knows how to solve this mess?
    Toshiba has a BIOS beta I could try?
    Any other ideas would be welcome.

    As a user of long date Toshiba, I must say that I am a little disappointed. I mean I work in it, and this is the first time that something like this happened to me with a new product.

    Hello

    I can't believe that Satellite M50 - A can not handle any of the mentioned SSDS.

    I upgraded my Toshiba laptop with SSD Pro 840. But before I did, the update of the firmware of SSD was necessary. Before the firmware update, the SSD has failed, after the firmware update, BIOS can handle the SSD.

    I would recommend to check the SSD for the firmware update!

  • Satellite M-45 freezes

    My satellite M-45 freezes upward and the wat only I can do is press the power button to turn off. I re formatted the entire system. Problem still exists. I can only use it in safe mode. Even after reformatting of 4 times. Any suggestions? I tried the regestry fix, that was a waste of time and money...

    Test the RAM for errors. You can use the free Memtest utility:

    1) go to http://www.memtest.org/#downiso and download the "pre-compiled Bootable ISO (.zip).
    (2) open the ZIP file and extract the ISO file to a temporary folder.
    (3) burn the ISO on a blank CD by using a drive Image project.
    4) Insert the Memtest CD into your laptop and put running, press F12 to start the start menu and select 'CD '.

  • No sound on Satellite M50, no matter what I try

    Hello.

    I have a fairly new and intact Satellite M50 and its great others that I can't hear any sound at all.
    (1) I adjusted all volumes and assured that mute is not on.
    (2) no problems in Device Manager
    (3) I tried Fn Esc
    external volume control 3) completely
    (4) the problem started when I unplugged (or plugged in) external speakers to the headphone jack, somehow this which seems to be invalid cell phones, speakers, computers that worked very well until the external apeakers were attached.
    (5) on another thread, I noticed that there is a switch inside the headphone jack that disables the speakers, is there a way to check if this is the problem and any way to fix.

    Any help much appreciated as I am a student and I really listen to conferences stored on the laptop.

    Thank you
    Dominic

    Please connect the headphones or external speakers to the headphone jack.
    If the sound is displayed then the sound card and audio driver are ok and that there must be a problem with the switch inside the plug headphones.
    Maybe the switch inside the phone plug stuck

    I put t think that it of possible to detach this I think that the plug needs to be replaced.
    But to be 100% sure, you should ask someone with more experience as technicians service partner
