Satellite P100 (PSPA6A) - white screen, crashes and then restarts by itself

Hello

I have a Toshiba Satellite P100 (PSPA6A) and am running Windows XP on it. Last month, I had a problem with my computer when the screen becomes white, then freezes and restarts itself.

I took it to a computer store to get the snippet, but they couldn't find anything wrong with it. I tried to find if all programs are at the origin of this problem but I have not been able to find. My computer can be on for 10 h, before this occurs, and it can be on for 5 minutes before this problem occurs. It can also occur during the loading screen before reaching the windows welcome screen. If it helps, there is a slight delay when the screen becomes white and when it's freezing (I have music in the background several times where the music was still playing for a few seconds while the screen was white, and then it froze and rebooted).

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello!

Have you checked the RAM yourself using Memtest86 as resident suggested? I mean Memtest86 is really great to test the RAM and if there is a problem, Memtest86 should prove.

In addition I recommend you to check the HARD drive. Therefore, you can use Drive Fitness Test and Google is your friend to find.
This program is also free.

In the worst cases, you should go to an authorized service provider. Maybe it of a problem of the motherboard or processor, and this can be checked by a technician of the laptop.

Good bye

    If the laptop is turned off, the battery can be charged. The laptop runs normally on the battery.
    As soon as the power adapter is connected, the computer turns off.
    When I use the computer without a battery but with the AC adapter, the computer shuts down. Test with a different AC adapter, the computer turns off.

    If the cable between the motherboard and the CC is originally the problem whether it is unlikely?

    Someone has an idea to help me with this problem?

    > From the moment when the AC adapter is connected, the computer turns off.
    There must be some kind of electronic problem of power on the motherboard.
    I put t think that the AC adapter is affected since you have already tested another (good job?) Power adapter.
    I think in case of malfunction of the motherboard, the laptop fix can be a costly affair
    The motherboard is one of the expensive parts for laptop and I think that that's not worth buying a new part for this old model of laptop.

    How can I configure my windows 7 after restoring my laptop to the factory conditians?

    My laptop had a blue screen and I couldn't get rid of it, I went into safe mode and restore my computer to factory conditions. When the computer says "the installation program starts services" you stop and I couldn't turn it back on for 15 minutes. When I turned on and tried to contained my setup, a message keeps poping up "the computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error." Windows Setup cannot continue. To install windows, click ok to restart the computer, and then restart the installation. "But no mader, how many times I reboot my laptop, the same message appears. What should I do? I've restored my computer several times and never had this problem.

    You should try another recovery.

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

  • Why do I often keep my modem closing and then restarting in order to stay in touch?

    It is a modem from Verizon and about 3 years.  I'll be in the middle to send him something, or by browsing a site, and all of a sudden the lights start blinking furiously.  I have to then turn off, wait and start again then compose a message.

    Thanks for all the help, and I don't know there will be MORE questions, because I'm not as savvy PC, but try to learn ;-).

    Bobbie

    You must determine if the modem is in fault, or something else.

    Next time the problem occurs, instead of power cycling your modem, stop and turn off your PC. Then restart your PC. See if the problem has disappeared or that it still remains.

    If the problem persists after restarting your PC, then the problem is probably in the modem. Call Verizon and INSIST that they replace it.

    If the problem goes away after you restart your PC, then the problem is likely to be caused by a problem (hardware/software) in your PC. Check / replace the cable between the modem and the PC (or between the modem and your router).

    Try closing your browser, and then restarting your browser... the problem goes away.

    If you have (or can borrow) a second PC, unplug your PC and connect the second PC to the modem and see if the problem persists.

    If the modem is connected to a router (and your PC is attached to the router), then cycle power to the router to see if the problem goes away. If it's a very old router, consider replacing it.

    If your PC is wireless, try to fix your PC with an ethernet cable (and disable your wireless network card and allowing your ethernet adapter) to see if the problem goes away.

    Good luck!

    EDIT: You can also use your antivirus software to perform a full scan of your hard drive (just to rule out the possibility of the problem caused by a virus trying to 'phone home').
