Satellite P10 - laptop off suddenly during application

My Satellite P10 has a problem for about 1 month. In many applications (for example games) he died suddenly, without message or similar warning.

Is it possible, that it's getting hot?
It worked without any problems for over a year half!

Could it, that it is only some dirt in the ventilation? And then I clean it myself without any problems?

If I had a PC I just opened and clean. But this is my first laptop and I don't have too much experience with the intereor of it.

Hello

I normally clean any dust from my A30 on a weekly basis, by blowing through the outlets on the back of the notebook, or using a vacuium domestic cleaner of the hose to the fan intake grills oin the bottom of the unit. This avoids having to remove the heatsink from the CPU that might invalidate your warranty.

I also make sure that the notebook is never directly placed on the carpet or pillows or other soft surfaces because it either block the air inlets or provide a source ready of dust and debris that will be sucked into the unit.

It is a setting in Device Manager to allow cooling for 'maximum performance' or 'Noise Minimum'. The effect of the first is to allow the CPU to run at maximum speed (which may involve fans to their maximum, while the latter will cause the CPU to slow down when it gets too hot, allowing fans to run much more slowly. I think that the post of 'Heaven', associated with a chip fauly on the motherboard that was the fans run continuously.

  • 2-3 days after the expiry of my warranty of one year, my computer turns off suddenly during use. I rebooted, but it stopped again.

    2-3 days after the expiry of my warranty of one year, my computer turns off suddenly during use.  I rebooted, but it stopped again.

    The model is that the computer runs for 15-30 minutes, then suddenly stops, the system reboots, runs for 2-3 minutes, stops, restarts, spans less than a minute, stops, restarts, stop after a few seconds, etc., and at that time there I give until the next day when I repeat the same cycle all over.    I have Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit and it is a model of Dell Inspiron 518.  There is no error message but a beep at startup upward.  I ran Windows repair program 'Start' who did a restore without success.  The problem occurs even in Safe Mode.

    Does anyone have a guess as to what is the diagnosis?  Thank you.

    Hello

    Could be hardware or even heat and ventilation the related. Try using a small fan to increase ventilation. When a PC
    Remove ALL power and reinstall the memory, all cards and cables (do just not shake - remove and replace-)
    cables on both ends where possible).

    As it does in Mode safe so you probably need technical support in a real store of the computer - no Peeks/leeks at BestBuy or other large shopping areas. Very difficult to solve if it does not remain under tension.
    It remains under tension if you start from the disc of Vista?

  • Problem of Toshiba Satellite P10 laptop!

    Hello!

    I have a laptop TOSHIBA Satellite P10, Windows XP.

    This is a new computer, not second hand!
    The problem is that it stops when I connect it to the power adapter.

    The only way I can work is it charge when turned off and then use it on battery.

    The problem appeared after I bought it 20 days.
    I sent it to the service of TOSHIBA, they have updated the BIOS, it worked perfectly for 5 hours (connected to the power adapter), and then the same problem appeared.

    Do you have any suggestions?
    I'm looking forward to your answers!

    Christina

    Hello Christina,

    Your laptop is replisse or herself down suddenly or do a controlled stop? What happens when you power on your portable computer when the power adapter is plugged?

  • Satellite P200D turns off suddenly!

    Hello!

    I own a Satellite P200D since November and a few days now, I am facing a strange problem. My laptop died suddenly in different times.

    In January, I decided to go back to XP, because Vista are always terrible, and I found all the necessary drivers but the graphics. For my Mobility Radeon HD2400 * I used the official driver from ATI (Radeon HD2400 series) * after having it modified with Mobility Modder of Driverheaven to make "Mobility Radeon" and not only "Radeon".

    A few days now, when I play poker or other, my laptop produces high heat and suddenly off (probably when overheating reached its maximum limit). Are the drivers the problem?

    If Yes, where can I find the good? Or is it because my cooling system does not work? (The 2 radiators work very well)

    However, even if my laptop is overheating, should not reduce my card capacity to lower the temperature? I can't know.

    Could you help me guys?
    Thanks for in advance!

    Hello

    Your suggestion might be right it really seems like the laptop could overheat.
    Why? Well maybe the use of non-Toshiba graphic driver could lead to overheating of the graphics card.
    Always is it that Toshiba own graphics drivers are slightly modified and supports and overheat protection. The pilot controls the graphic performance and decrease the performance if the increase in temperature to a critical level is needed because the notebook GPU is not equipped with huge cooling modules as the graphics cards of office

    So you should always use the graphics drivers from the page of Toshiba to prevent laptop overheating and closures automatically

  • My Satellite L500 turns off suddenly

    Hi all!

    I need help! my computer turns off suddenly and I have no idea why!

    TOSHIBA L500-22R

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to say why this is happening.
    Please do two tests for us:
    1 / start your laptop computer and enter the BIOS settings. Let and let us know if laptop turns off again
    2 / start your laptop and start Windows in SafeMode (F8 at startup). The same thing happens again?

  • Equium A300D turns off suddenly during use

    I just got an Equium A300D about 3 weeks ago and it suddenly powers off during use.
    What can be caused this?
    However it does not do this often but am still very concerned.

    Sounds like its overheating. My previous laptop has done a similar thing.

    The laptop is used in a dusty environment? There may be a build-up of dust in the radiator.

    When you use the laptop, the vents are covered by other objects?

    Otherwise if it's not an overheating issue, and that you use the original Toshiba AC adapter, bring the laptop to a Service Center for repair.

  • Help, please! Satellite P10 turns off

    I have aSatellite pro P10-802. He continues to tell me that the bad battery is inserted, but it is not. He then stops in the usual way, but I can't do something.

    Another problem I have is that sometimes it is just turns off without warning, when he does that he does not stop is normal but the screen turns off and it turns off. It is registered, but I can't find the registration details. Unit was registered in September 04 possibly on behalf of pt aspinall.

    Help, please!

    Hello

    Your laptop is not old, and in my opinion you should contact Service partner allowed in your country without a lot of discussion because if there is a problem with the hardware repair is covered under warranty.

    If the laptop turns off by itself, it can be a serious hardware problem. The message with the battery is also very strange. As I said, please communicate with the technicians. They can help you.

  • Battery will be charged only when the Satellite P10 is off

    Hello

    I have problems with my laptop. Although turned off, the battery charge. Switching on, the battery stops to load and the battery runs out after some time.

    where is the problem?

    Thank you

    Konstantin

    Hello

    To me, it looks like either a power supply electronic malfunction on the motherboard or battery failure.
    Both are possible, but I n t think you will be able to know the malfunction yourself without any extra help.
    Therefore, I recommend the Toshiba service partner in your country requesting an audit of the laptop.

    You know, guys are experts and know exactly what needs to be checked.

  • My Satellite A50 turns off suddenly

    On my 50 A the screen suddenly turns blue with many numbers there.
    After a few seconds, only the laptop restarts.
    All this is happening without any warning.

    What should I do?

    Nils

    Hello

    Your description sounds like an extra from the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD)
    Especially this BSOD error appears due to hardware or serious malfunction of software.

    In my view, we should first of all find what could be the reason for this problem.
    You could try to reinstall the OS from the Toshiba restore CD.
    This procedure would set the laptop to factory settings and could help us know if the problem is related to software or hardware problems.

    From time to time the BSOD could be caused by a laptop overheating in such cases, cleaning cooling module might help to avoid these troubles. The use of the vacuum cleaner is the best way to clean the fans but make sure that him hovering high risk damage to the fans.

  • Satellite L300D - turns off suddenly

    Hey

    A neighbor just bought a L300D, I offered help to get this working. Has started at home is is realized that I had to take a long time then took laptop to my home (adapter worked in a friends house) simply put in place.
    New programs and updates downloaded and then back to him the next day.

    As I was showing him what's new the battery suddenly announced that it was running low although it was plugged. He went, and there is no indication of any power going to the machine. He blames me for breaking.

    Help, please.

    There was no bumps or the surges of power at the mine, as I had plugged to a specific computer taken then is a manufacturers problem or could I do something wrong?
    Followed all appropriate procedures so that just don t understand...

    Hello

    I think that this is not your mistake it s bad luck that happened after I installed the computer laptop so Don t you worry not about it! ;)

    But you can start the laptop now?

    To me that sounds like this, AC/DC adapter is defective and cool doesn t the battery so I think you or your neighbor should contact the nearest authorized service provider. They can check the laptop and there you can get a new AC/DC adapter. It s a new computer laptop, it repair should be free (guarantee).

    Good bye

  • Satellite P10 stop suddenly

    I have problem of sudden closure with my Satellite P10... and no new BIOS update available.
    Is there anyone who can help me?

    Hello

    How old is your laptop and when it close? Perhaps during some heavy applications?

    There are several times my laptop didn't stop because the temperature was too high.
    Someone here in the forum suggested to clean the fans and the cooling with the vacuum module. I did it because my laptop is a little older. Because of the dust and debris, the fans didn't work properly and the temperature is increased to the critical level.

    The operating system shut down the laptop to prevent damage.
    I think you should check for this possibility.

    Also the damaged software could be a reason to turn off automatically down. Especially the new installation of the operating system can help solve these problems.

  • Sudden loss of power if it works on battery on Satellite P10

    I have problems with the battery on my satellite P10. I can use the laptop very well when I'm on the current, but when I want to run on battery, it will last awhile (showing 100% decreasing slowly as usual) then will suddenly change to 5% and turn off due to the critical battery level.

    Can someone help me?

    I wouldn't have thought, it's just a case of having to replace the battery, because he suddenly disappeared like this, it has not got gradually worse over time.

    Thank you

    Hello

    How old is your battery and how many times have you loaded and unloaded battery?
    Usually after one year or 500times charge/discharge, the battery slowly loses performance
    In my opinion, it is simply a matter of battery and the battery must be replaced to solve this problem
    Just contact the ASP in your country and order the new and compatible battery!

    Good bye

  • Satellite P10: clouds white and purple fading across the screen during startup

    I had problems with my laptop PC-10 so I bought a new hard drive (Fujitsu 60 GB instead of 40 GB) standard and have it myself. I was working very well with it for a long time, until suddenly I have had the strangest problem that I've ever seen on a computer...

    Sometimes, when you start the laptop, instead of the screen normal red "TOSHIBA" and the message to start Windows XP, the laptop displays simply little weird white and purple clouds fading across the screen, fading finally on a screen very dark, but not quite black.

    I thought first it was a problem with the DVD player, like when he finally gave and started normally, the DVD drive has been disabled. However, I noticed in the BIOS, under "Advanced" the Infrared Port shows intermittently - it shows with the [Disabled] setting next to him, but will be then disappear from the list, then reappear again and then go again and so on.

    Sometimes my computer will function normally, then completely shut (mouse and all) and will restart with the clouds!

    I looked in the Windows Event Viewer for when the laptop has locked up and have seen anything to do with a problem with IRQS for the Infrared Port. I disabled the infrared port in Device Manager (I managed to activate in the BIOS by loading the standard BIOS settings) and rebooted, but it started upward with the clouds once again, so I have the feeling that the infrared port is the culprit - loose connection may be defective material because it is located close to the DVD player and HD player.

    I was wondering if anyone has seen something like this before on any computer, and if they knew how to solve? It seems completely illogical that a defective IR port could change what is displayed on the screen on startup, unless of course there is something wrong with my HD boot sector?

    Any ideas?

    Thank you.

    Tom

    Hello

    I've never seen like this problem before and I don't think that this issue has something to do with the HARD drive or the IrDA port.
    As much as I know the IrDA port is not available on Satellite P10 - xxx

    For me, this looks like a faulty screen or graphics card.
    Have you tried to connect the external display? If this isn't the case, then try to do and check if it also appears on the external display.

    I recommend also to recover the laptop with Toshiba Recovery CD and then check the functionality.
    But if the malfunction appears so I would recommend contacting the Toshiba ASP for control from laptop

  • Satellite P10 turn suddenly

    Hello

    I have the satellite P10
    Im having problems.
    I reformatted about a month ago, and since then, his performance is even more strange. One morning, I turned on and then as windows was loading, all images on the screen pixeld and started jumping up and down the screen... almost like matrix effect. Windows loaded, but my office etc. still had this majorly pixeld watched and kept jumping.

    I managed to restart the pc in safe mode - and he has not had the same problem since then, however, it shuts down completely I work almost everyday now - or the second day.

    I reformatted... installed lastest drivers, constantly updated to windows and have updated graphics cards etc.
    He continues to cut all of a sudden - and feels as if it detects overheating a bit as well.

    SOS. What should I do?

    Katy

    Hello

    Maybe the display problem had occurred because of the corrupted display driver.
    However another question looks like overheating.
    You can try to use the vacuum cleaner to clean the cooling modules.
    It is a simpler procedure to clarify the fans.
