Satellite M70 164 - screen freezes and goes black, overheating

Hello world! :)

Recently my Satellite m70-164 started to freeze after only a few minutes of work. The picture on the screen freezes, and a few seconds later, it becomes completely black.
The computer doesn't even have time to warm up, and it's not stop... It's just the screen that freezes and becomes so black. I have to reset the computer by pressing the power button. (I write from another computer).

I noticed that working time reduced whenever I have reset the computer and after some time it freezes even though I am in the BIOS settings, so I don't think it's an OS problem.
Even if the computer does not have time to warm up, this suggests it might be a heat problem.
So I tried pointing a fan this is low (a big, like the ones we use in the summer), and it works without problem!

With the fan facing these, I reinstalled Windows - so no Virus.
Laptop fan * not * continue to operate as it is overheating.
The fan runs and it is not clogged as I've cleaned.

So if anyone has the same problem, or ideas, please respond!
(And sorry for my English)
Thanks in advance! : D

Hey Buddy,

I agree with you. In this case, even in the BIOS, that it has nothing to do with Windows or a Virus. In this case, it seems to be a hardware malfunction

But before contacting an authorized service provider to diagnose what part is the cause, clean your laptop using a jet of compressed air. This should be done from time to time (every 4 months) and, therefore, it of not necessary to disassemble the laptop.

  • Satellite M70-169: screen freezes and meshes + mouse freezes

    Hello
    Hope you can help. So far, I'm impressed by my toshiba satellite m70-169.

    He has recently developed an intermittent fault: when the tilt of the screen the effect of light mesh on it and the screen freezes. The mouse also hangs at this point.

    If I tilt the screen one way or the other I can get it to work properly. A slighy inclination of the screen can cause the screen to freeze again. The problem is getting worse, however.

    The machine has never been dropped or struck, but was taken by one of the screen when it is open.

    I disassembled the strainer and push gently on various points and cables but nothing in this area suggests a loose connection or a weak point. So I believe the problem is in the essence. I tried to open this up but it fails because I didn't force anything.

    Question 1: any suggestions on the problem and possible solutions?
    Question 2: advice like how to open the main part, so I can check any loose cables, connectors or broken bones?
    Question 3: patterns for disassembly?

    Even once - I hope you can help - thanks in advance...

    Hi John

    The above user is right. It s too risky to disassemble the laptop without having any experience with laptops.
    It is why I always recommend taking to a technician.

    But if you want, you can have a look here:
    http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/ToshibaM55/laptop_LCD_screen_removal.htm

    It s a site on satellite M55 and withdrawal screen.
    But once again; You can do everything BUT only at your own risk! ;)

  • Satellite A100-999 - screen flickers and goes black

    Hi, I have a problem with my Satellite A100-999.

    The screen flickers and then goes black. The works still laptop as I can connect to external monitors, but the laptop monitor are almost entirely black. It's happened before, but a reboot seemed to solve, however, Noah, as soon as the sign of the intel appears at startup, the screen turns off. It is not completely black - you can see the contours of some things on the screen, but it is almost completely black.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi xiuxiuejar_1,

    HM, if you can still see a picture on the laptop external monitor should be ok and it must be a problem with built-in LCD screen.

    Usually, if the display is it black malfunction in UPS s FL which controls the backlight of the screen, but if the screen flickers, it s the internal LCD display itself

    I guess that your laptop is not under warranty more so I would try exchanging the FL inverter it's a lot cheaper. You can order this FL inverter of an ASP or eBay but is not so easy to replace, because you have to disassemble the laptop monitor.

  • On Windows 7, the screen flashes and goes black. It shows that the display driver has stopped working

    I have premium home edition of windows 7 I had a problem with my display driver. The screen flashes and goes black and then turns back on with a message in the bottom right of the screen that reads «display driver stopped responding, but recovered» It has also closed and restarted windows

    Hello

    First, download and install the drivers from the ATI site, if you have already done so, check the graphics card and cabin temperature by opening. This normally occurs when the temperature is too high. Or if a person has overclocked graphics card.

    Thank you

  • Satellite M70 - screen flickers and goes black, white or other

    I have a portable Satellite M70 and lately the screen becomes either black, white and a few other colors (no ghost image).

    The laptop seems good but I can t see anything so the only solution is to turn on and off. He didn't used to do this.
    I have updated the BIOS and the driver of the screen but always comes back.

    Any suggestions?

    Have you tried an external monitor on the laptop?
    It would be important to make sure if it s a display or the motherboard problem.
    Check it!

    Have what driver you installed for the laptop? You must use the driver from the Web from Toshiba site.

    Good luck!

  • Satellite M55-S135 screen freezes and becomes white.

    Recently, my computer screen freezes until I have the touch. I touch the screen I use the computer or the screen turns white and everything I type does not register on the screen. I see not the entrance until I get the screen and hold it pressed. Sometimes even if I hold the screen I can not imput to register, it will just white. Anyone know why this happens.

    This happens when the displaycable is not correctly connected to the control that is located at the top of the LCD screen. I highly recommend to send your machine to a service partner in your country and let check this problem. It could also be a malfunction of the material of the screen, but not for sure.

  • Satellite A500 - 18Q - screen freezes and BSOD appears the screen

    I bought my computer 3 weeks ago and I have a problem.
    My computer froze or displays the blue screen. It happens randomly, without having to open any program.

    Sometimes half an hour or an hour later as I start my computer or nothing happens.
    I have windows 7 home.

    I need help

    Hmm BSODS can happen thanks to a software or hardware problem and therefore it is difficult to say what could cause this.
    The A500 seems to be a new model of laptop and I doubt that the dust could be the reason for the temperature more high which could cause the BSOD.
    However, you should check if the cooling modules are free of dust and it might be useful to clean using the can of compressed air.

    In addition, you should check if your BIOS is up to date.
    If this isn't the case,-> to update this!

  • Satellite M70-164: what is a default temperature of the HARD drive?

    I wonder if someone can tell me what are the default temperatures of the hard drieve of a satellite M70-164

    Hello

    It is not easy to say. It is based on the use of the HARD drive.
    If the turns HARD disk and OS write or read on/from the HARD drive, so the temperature increases, but if you use the laptop only for internet, so the temperature of the HARD drive remains on the low level.

  • Satellite M70-340: screen went completely blue or black

    Hello world
    I just bougth a portable Satellite M70-340 and twice tonight screen entered a single color (black once, once blue) and although I could still hear the windows work (I could hear the Windows alert sounds and alerts by MSN mail), the screen went completely blue or black. I assume that the error is caused by a problem of display driver, so I downloaded the latest driver present Intel on this site. I don't know if it will work.

    My question is, did this happen to someone of you? How did you solve this problem? And even though I have an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Mobile, I could install the ATI driver on this site? (I prefer ATI driver since it is out of date.)

    Thank you all for your interest,
    Best regards.

    I guess you have mobile Intel graphics card. In this case, you can only use the graphic driver intel from the Toshiba page or are also website of intel.

    But you cannot use the ATI graphics driver! You laptop has ATI No. graphics card!

    However, you suggested that it is a new laptop. I would recommend to contact Toshiba service partner in your country. The guarantee is valid and you should take it!
