Satellite P100-347: blue screen at startup - unable to boot volume

Recently, I left my 2 younger brothers playing NFS Carbon on my satellite P100-347, pre-installed with media center edition 2005, and now it fails to start.

During the process of possibly starting a blue screen appears for about a second and then it shutsdown (I managed to make the words "unable to boot volume" on the basis of the blue screen).

I tried to boot with a XP media center DVD but it gives me only a possibility of reinstalling the operating system with a cost of losing all my important data. Normally I would have picked up the system, but I don't want to lose my data.

Can I do other than take it to a technician?

Hello

Well, for the most part the BSOD appears due to hardware problem or serious software.
In your case, the software problem is possible

Unfortunately, I think that the new installation of the OS is the best way to get the laptop works properly.
Now, you want to know how to record data and the files well, I think that you should remove the laptop HARD drive and must try to connect the 2.5 HDD via external USB controller to another computer. Then you can save the files to the other HARD disk

I think, now, you know that regular backups are important and necessary!

  • Satellite P100-347: Blue Leds - they disabled/disabled?

    I read several topics in the forum on the P100 Harman/Kardon speakers Blue LEDs/lights. None expressed a definitive answer on how to turn off the LEDs.

    I was wondering if a new update on this issue has occurred. The last post of forum about this was in February. Is it possible to turn off those annoying lights in newer models of Satellite? I would disconnect the wires so its an easy task.

    My laptop is the Satellite P100 - 347 (SPA6E)

    Thank you very much

    Hi Dan

    Have you used advanced search forum?
    I don t think so!

    I have used and found several discussions on this topic.
    I searched in the section P satellite for blue light and learn from these publications:

    Then why write something that has already been discussed here in the forum?

  • Satellite P100-194: blue screen - nv4_disp is in an infinite loop

    I have a Satellite P100-194 since 28.08.06 and I get this blue screen telling me that the nv4_disp (I think it's the graphic driver nvidia) is in an infinite loop.

    Error message:
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (English translation):

    "Device driver got stuck in an infinite loop. This usually indicates problem with the device itself or with the incorrect programming hardware device driver.

    Please check with your hardware vendor, updates to the driver.

    Technical information:

    "STOP: 0x000000EA (0x857F66E0, 0x85CL22D0, 0xF7C61CB4, 0x00000001)".

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Then he said something about the execution of a physical memory dump and I had to reboot.
    Sometimes the monitor turns off just (without blue screen) and I have to stop again. Or the screen shows several vertical strips during startup. in the case of windows window should come it gets black. I had this error 5 - 6 times since I bought it.
    This could be a damage on the geforce 7900 gs card or RAM may be defective or do I have new chipset... drivers?

    The drivers are the latest (from toshiba).

    Technical support told me to format the pc.
    The laptop is new and was very expensive, so I find it very strange that I need to update anything to make it work properly... ? ! ?
    Yesterday I formatted the laptop and reinstalled with the Recovery CD... because the error is sometimes, I don't know if it's working now, but I would be grateful for any HELP or comment on that.

    Thank you.

  • Black screen at startup, unable to boot from the CD

    I did something wrong on my Thinkpad T43 2668, now I have Black Boot screen cannot Access IBM, can not press a function key, cannot start from the CD.  Here's what I did:

    2 2 demarrer start from Linux Live CD, format hard drive and install ubuntu, hidden Partition of domain is not deleted, always there;

    3. can start Linux OS, but black screen on startup. There is no way to see what's happening at startup; Pressing a key of function or IBM bottons returns no result, always boot in Linux;

    4. cannot boot from any CD bootable legal except Ubuntu Live CD;

    5. no means of access Bios to set the boot sequence, therefore, cannot boot from USB floppy either.

    Installed Win7 Ultimate x 64.

    My bios version is 1.80

    Have you tried to install the original preinstalled Toshiba system using the recovery disk to check if the same BSOD error appear?
    If this is not the case, do.
    This BSOD can be linked either hardware or software problem and good work and pre-configured system could clarify the situation.

  • Cannot be accessed by Satellite P100-347 after the password of BIOS setting

    My friend has recently created a startup password using the numeric keypad and now I can't access my satellite P100-347 beyond startup even if am to enter the correct password!

    Is there anyway around this problem?

    Hello

    Bad sorry :(

    Unfortunately, you must contact the ASP in your country for this problem.
    Technicians have first remove this BIOS password.
    In addition, I think that to avoid this problem, the BIOS must be updated to version 2.40 or higher and also the Toshiba utility must be updated to version 1.8.14.2 or higher.

    Good luck

  • Satellite P100-347 - problem with the judgment during the game

    I have a problem with my (pspa6e) Satellite P100-347

    After about 10 minutes of play time with games like battlefield 2, the SIMS2 and so on... my pc stops...
    I knew it was close because of high gpu or cpu temp...

    I felt that my laptop was warm, but after playing for a while its normal...

    So I installed HWmonitor to check my gpu, CPU and disk hard temp...

    That's what I show:

    THRM: 61.C - 141.F

    CPU: core0\1 - two 64.C - 147.F

    GPU: turn 85 stable - 90.C
    This normal use... no games...

    HARD DRIVE: 39.C

    Something must be wrong! GPU temp is too high?
    I tried a fresh install of the OS...

    Thnx for all the help and answers!

    Hmm these times can be a little high.

    Most likely there is dust in the radiator. You can use compressed air to remove it. Or as a miracle solution, blow into the vents dust closes in contrast to air circulation.

  • Satellite A85-s107 - white screen at startup by using the power of the battery

    Satellite A85-s107 white screen at startup by using the power of the battery

    When I boot A85-s107 in battery power, it is get booted up in the background, but my screen is empty.
    After that if I connect it to AC power and switch deactivation/activation of the laptop power button, the screen comes back to life.

    There is no problem when I start upward when it is connected to an electrical outlet.
    Battery is fully charged and computer will work off the battery voltage if I remove AC after boootup

    Any suggestions?

    PS:

    also note that when I remove AC and then reconnect I start the computer on two occasions that it does not start the 1st time?

    Don t need to recharge the battery if the AC adapter is plugged ;)
    Try the tips posted by Alex otherwise it of a hardware problem, in my view, there seems to be something wrong with the motherboard...
    In this case, only the replacement could help and it could be a costly affair

  • Satellite P100-347 with Vista Premium in the United Kingdom

    I am looking to buy the Satellite P100-347, but I want to get with Vista Premium - no upgrade.
    Does anyone know when this machine will be available with Vista Premium in the United Kingdom.

    Thanks in advance

    Joel

    Hello Joel

    I heard that Toshiba will start notebook with Windows Vista at the end of January 2007. Perhaps the United Kingdom will be starts earlier (perhaps it is also a country, I put t know exactly).

    As you know Vista comes with several different versions, but it will be preinstalled on P100, no one can tell you with certainty.

  • Satellite P100-347 - nVidia drivers day?

    Can support Toshiba fix some vista updated drivers for:

    Satellite P100-347... (pspa6e)

    This should be up to date on Toshiba site, because the drivers on
    NVIDIA.com do not work on my Toshiba laptop...

    Thnx

    It is well known that manufacturers of graphics support pages downloaded drivers cannot be installed on laptops. Each laptop manufacturer must ensure that display driver works well on the specific cell phone model and will not force the graphics card to run on the highest level.

    I hope you understand why laptop manufacturers do this.

    In any case, you can just hope that your message will be read by the Toshiba support service. ;)

  • DVD drive does not burn/erase RS - Satellite P100-347

    Hello

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite p100-347 PSPA6E laptop computer. It has a DVD burner with model number: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GMA-4082N (firmware pt06). It has capabilities to burn any DVD (please see example using dvdino: http://tinyurl.com/2hbpqv).

    However, I can't rewrite on my Maxell dvd + rw (1.4 x speed) dvd. whenever I go to a software application to erase a dvd that I wrote on, it says unrecognized format. For example, Nero says "this disc is not rewritable and therefore can not be deleted. Please insert a rewritable disc.

    The disc is rewritable because it says on the cover and also it burns on my friends rewritable dvd burner :(

    Please can anyone help:(je suis vraiment coincé et il serait beaucoup aprécié)

    Hello

    As you probably know, readers don t support all kinds of media.
    I mean not every CD - R, DVD - RW, CD + RW, DVD + RW, and so on, average is supported.
    I can confirm these issues in my practical knowledge I tested for several months and many media, I use the TDK on my laptop and only CD or DVD media.
    They work best with my drive...

    But I'll give you a tip:
    You should remove other software burning like sonic, etc if you use Nero. The joint software sometimes makes trouble.

  • Instant stopping and restarting on Satellite P100-347

    My satellite P100-347 maintains close instantly then restart. All the solutions because its still new and very expensive for a replacement.

    Hello

    It seems that your machine is overheating and then he made a stop for reasons of physical security.
    You said that it happened when you play NFS carbon, it is a good sign for a cpu/vga heat problem.

    I suggest you to clean your fan and your cooling system, because when it s clobbed with of the dust of the system cannot be properly cooled and it is stopped to avoid serious damage to your valuable equipment. Just be a can of compressed air and clean your cooling system (but gently, otherwise you may damage the fan who convey the air that is heated from cpu/vga)

    Just a question: what drivers are installed for your vga? You have the original toshiba display drivers? If this isn't the case, then the problem is self explaining because schedules of the original nvidia/ati drivers are not suitable for laptops.
