• Re: Satellite P300-161-Lock-ups/freeze randomly

  Hi all

  I've had my laptop Toshiba Satellite P300-161 for about 6 months now. However, in the last month or so... I've known a freeze at random the computer laptop everything.

  It usually starts at any time... then it will pause and then start to freeze again. When it freezes, it lasts about 10-15 seconds, and everything goes to "not responding". Even the keys Ctrl + Alt + Delete load the Task Manager after the stop of the gel. However, I have discovered that when it is in its 'freeze', where applications are unresponsive, I can give the laptop a gentle tap with my hand on the area of the free space to the right of the touchpad... and he thaws... It is certainly a bad thing.

  I intend to take this back to where I bought it from and have it sent to Toshiba for repair because I have a 2 year warranty with them IF I can't get some help here.

  Many need help.

  Thanks in advance,

  Benny FUNG.

  Hello!

  I m not sure because it is not easy to say what the reason for this, but have you tried to clean up your laptop using a jet of compressed air?
  Maybe the laptop is overheating and so it begins to freeze. Check it!

  You have Windows XP or Vista? Have you tried to reinstall? It is perhaps only a s software problem.
  How do you think about this?

  Good bye

• Satellite P300-161 - graphic upgrade

  Hello. The graphics maintains not on my Toshiba Satellite P300-161 of the same after a clean reinstall of Windows. I'm looking to replace the graphics card from ATI Radeon Mobility HD 3470 (which is not soldered on the motherboard).

  Can I rather upgrade or get a new card?

  I'm asking this is because I had trouble finding exactly the same everywhere! Thanks in advance.

  GPU upgrade is not supported so either you exchange the card or you have to search entire motherboard.

• Satellite P300-161: alarm low and criticism not fire

  Hello.

  I just bought a Satellite P300-161 with Vista and every time alarm if there is only a pop-up notification at the low or critical level, you but no sound alarm. I checked the settings under "advanced power management" and "battery" and both have the value default to 'ON' for low and critical battery alarm.

  I also made sure there is a noise linked to these events under 'Hardware and sound', 'System sounds' and "low battery alarm" and a criticism.

  The default sounds are really sweet so I registered and chosen my sensors clean up but still no luck.

  I did a search on google and apparently several people had the same problem. In addition to suggest to both look like the above parameters, some have said that it is a general problem with Vista that will be fixed with service pack 1. I already service Pack1 so that does not solve it.

  The other thing that I found via google is that apparently Vista doesn't offer it through the message system, but makes it available for 3rd party software. It seems ridiculous that Toshiba withdrew its usefulness because of power management especially in Vista.

  I wouldn't mind an alarm from the BIOS, but looking at the settings, I couldn't find all the options. I can only note a pop up and if I play music or something, I have completely run out and the computer into hibernation which is really annoying.

  I would be grateful if anyone has any suggetions on how to solve the problem.

  Alfonso.

  Open the Volume mixer and make sure that Windows sound option is not set to mute.

• Satellite A660-18 freezes randomly

  My Satellite A660-18 freezes randomly especially when I play games or watch video.
  Also sometimes when I'm just passing the mouse. He is 1-2 times a week/2 weeks. When it happens the screen freezes but the audio on for a while and does not react to any keypress so I have to manually turn it works.

  I don't think it's a graphics card overheating issue, as happens sometimes in just a few minutes after I turn on my laptop and I use a cooler pad as well.

  Hello

  This sometimes happens, it means that you can't reproduce it, which means that it s really hard to tell what could cause this.
  Theoretically, it could be just a software problem. Perhaps only the registry is damaged.
  In this case, the new OS installation must be carried out.

  Of course it could be also related to memory: to test the RAM by using some tools such as mem86 + or similar.
  Also, make sure the HARD drive; for this, you can use the tool called Drive Fitness Test.

• Satellite L450D keeps freezing randomly

  Hello

  I recently bought a L450D refurbished: Win 7 64 bit, 4 GB ram, 2.1 Ghz AMD dual core, it works much faster than my Toshiba 1 year anyway.

  The problem is, it keeps freezing randomly. When this happens the screen looks like the picture in the link, mouse and keyboard are completely insensitive, but I left it and the battery is flat it beep?

  

  So far I've only updated windows, it is the partition of Toshiba hard disk but f8 during the startup does not seem to do anything and when I tried to write the recovery disc it burned but said unable to end of file during the verification step.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated,
  Thank you

  Hello

  Mobile on the photo looks like a problem with a graphics chip.

  Maybe the laptop freezes because of the high temperature of the GPU. What do you think that?

  Have you noticed a higher temperature?

  If Yes, try to clean the cooling fans using a jet of compressed air you should also try an update of the display.

• Satellite P10 - 873 freezing randomly

  Hi all

  I have a P10 and several times per day on average the machine seems to freeze in Windows XP for 5-10 seconds. During this time you cannot move the mouse or use the keyboard. Often during this time the fan comes into play at its highest level, but the strange thing is it is not always do it when the fan runs at the highest setting.

  The machine made the day 1 and now if she was 8 months old.

  It is not a spyware or virus problem, I use all of the latest drivers and tried to reinstall the software preinstalled without success.

  Anyone else have this problem or knows how to solve this problem.

  I lost a little confidence in Toshibas, my first was faulty and had to go back and am now beginning to regret not trying to fix this soon I am the new replacement, at that time did not really want to go through the entire process of sending another laptop, so decided to live with it.

  Thank you

  Hello

  The fact that fans sometimes go into action during these temporary freezes suggests that intense CPU activity takes place during this period. Fan activity is almost always related to the activity of the UC somehow. Do you have any process or scheduled for execution of routine tasks? I think that Windows Update will check for updates regularly as will of the available ad ware and spyware products =. You can also have a running anti-virus software that seeks to control internet updates available.

  You don't say if you laptop is connected permanently to the internet, but it is possible that some process attempts to locate a suitable COM port and is causing the rest of your laptop to hang until it times out.

  It may well be a case of trial and error to locate the offending process because there will be many background processes present in XP

• Satellite P300-23F freeze

  I ve noticed that the laptop freezes a few times. It is in any situation, even if I m just surfing. It also happens in the games or if I m listening to the music, but I do not know why this is happening.
  That music is stuttering, the mouse doesn't move, after a few seconds everything is normal.
  Sometimes the mouse hangs and I have to put the USB into the slot to make it work.

  It s going to upset me.
  I m using Vista64 with the latest Toshiba drivers.
  Anyone have an idea?

  Thank you and sorry for my bad English.

  Hello

  In another thread on this forum I read that some users have solved the problem by actually uninstalling a windows patch, the patch "KB952287' (Vista users).
  I don't know if it will work for you.

  Can you please check that and inform us of the results.

  By the way: have you noticed this behavior from the first day or a few days later?

• Satellite P300-161 - trouble with new battery

  I just bought a new battery online for laptop above.

  When I place the battery in the laptop, the orange charge light turns on, and the battery seems to charge.

  However, after a few minutes the charging light starts flashing and stays flashing. So, I can not say if and when the battery is fully charged.

  When I remove the charger and turn on the laptop, it lights up ok, but the battery icon shows 'time remaining unknown' and gray. The LED flashes orange.

  When I sent to society the answer has been:
  

  As a new battery for the first time three, you should charge complete 12hrs. Discharge, 3% rest and then recharge.

  Remember the first three fresh times, stop your laptop >

  When I loaded for 12 hours, the laptop will not light.

  The following response was:

  If the battery still does not work? Would pls take photos of the battery that was sent by us and your origin to us?

  Just to see the model of barcode (white label) \part number\fit. >

  Someone at - it ideas? My impression was that the battery is defective.

  Purchased Toshiba logo on the label original battery?

  In any case, send it back and ask for replacement.

• Satellite P300 freezing after more than 20 minutes

  Hello

  I hope someone can help.
  My satellite P300 laptop freezes when left for more than 20 minutes.
  This has been a problem since the purchase of the laptop 8 months ago.

  I have windows vista installed.

  When this happens I've pressed the button until the computer restarts, it gives me the option to start in safe mode.
  This can't be good for the laptop?
  Is there a way to solve this problem, as I turn the laptop off when ever I leave.

  See you soon

  Hello

  It's not easy to say what is the reason for this as it can be different things

  Maybe your laptop is overheating. You can hear the fan or get very hot? Maybe you should try to clean using compressed air stream. This could blow out the dust from the cooling fans.

  You said that you have installed Windows Vista on your laptop. Do you mean the factory settings or you have installed your own version of Windows?

  It could also be the RAM problem. You can check this with Memtest86. It is a diagnostic program for the RAM. You can download it from [www.memtest86.com]. It s freeware and easy to use (just to burn a bootable CD with the image and the start of it).

  Good luck and post your results after that.

• Satellite P300 keep gel

  Toshiba Satellite P300 kept freezing and Windows install did not work; then backed up all the files via the safemode, restored with factory settings but no 2nd partition.

  Everything went well with the new facility until went to IE, about 10th window IE it froze again, but Windows install at least worked. If hard, close, back to safe mode, restore factory again - same thing.
  I have no restore disks.

  Any suggestions please?

  Hmmm... I read your ad several times but I still don t understand your problem.

  Satellite P300 has been bundled with Windows Vista and the recovery image is recorded on the second partition of HARD drive in the folder called HDDRecovery. You can install this image if you start Notepad with F8 and use repair my computer option. Recovery image will be installed, but the second HARD disk partition will remain unchanged.

  So there is no clear statement about this recovery image installation in your ad.
  Recovery image is installed correctly in the end?

  I put t understand what you do safe mode. Safe mode has nothing to do with the recovery option.
  I also put t understand your problem with IE. Can you please explain the problem a bit detailed?

• Satellite Pro R850-15F - freezing randomly and the fan speeds up

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro R850-15F who gave me four years in refurbished condition and so it is quite old.
  I have recently installed Windows 10 and things seemed to work very well.

  However, last week, I noticed that at least once a day my laptop freezes randomly and immediately the internal fan accelerates, becomes much stronger and a cold air. Whenever this happens, I turned off the laptop and turn it back on it.

  After that, it works normally again until the next time it freezes. I don't know anything about computer hardware, but I suspect that it is a problem of series and I wanted to get some advice in case my laptop is close to dying.

  If anyone has any help or advice or suggestions to solve the problem, then I would be extremely grateful if you would contact me.

  Hope to hear from someone soon,

  Flashback

  On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here. To me, it looks like problem with some background process that as a result of extremely high CPU usage that locks the phone whole.
  High CPU usage means more heat in such situation the fan starts to run a lot faster.

  Have you noticed this behavior with a specific action or the use of certain applications?

  You can see a screenshot here: * http://uploads.siteduzero.com/files/253001_254000/253465.jpg *.

  I turned off of the battery during the night: nothing
  I connect the two G1 under memory for 30 min: nothing
  No matter what I do, it crashes at the same place.
  I tried to change the memory and the HARD drive, I'm sure they are OK

  How can I make a clear CMOS on Satellite P300 please?

  Can someone help me please?

  Thank you very much

  (I'm French: p)

  Hello AJAX,.

  > How can I make a clear CMOS on Satellite P300 please?
  This is not possible, mate.

  You can access the BIOS Setup when you press the F2 key?

  If this isn't the case I think that you already have what you can try and it seems to be a serious malfunction of equipment. So I contact nearest authorized maintainer and ask for help. ;)

• S50D-a satellite freezes randomly

  Hi all

  S50D-A, a week ago, I bought a Satellite.

  The machine freezes randomly. This happens about 6 - 8 times during a working day.

  When it freezes the cursor still moves but I can not even access Task Manager. Usually it will restart after a few minutes, sometimes it will jump out of it.

  The PC temporarily froze all by writing this!

  This is a brand new machine and it happened since the day 1, nor the hour 1 even.

  I hope you guys and girls can help.

  Hello

  On this virtual path, it is not easy to say why this is happening. All we has own configuration software and favorite of the BONE, and we don't know how looks like the configuration of your operating system.
  Maybe did you install additional software that is running in the background?

  Try disabling the Windows automatic update and set it to manual control. Laptop is new and maybe a lot of downloads running in the background. Processor and HARD drive can be highlighted and the result is the gel.

  Play with these settings and try to find out why this happen.

• Re: Satellite P300-156: keyboard freezes touch touchpad - mic is not w

  Hello

  I installed Windows 8 on my satellite P300-156 and now I have a big problem.
  My keyboard crashes when you touch the touch pad. In addition, the microphone does not work when the Windows Device Manager indicates that it is ok.

  There is no windows driver for this laptop 8...

  There are no drivers for the laptop because it isn't win 8 supported series.
  But even if there is no Win 8 drivers, the system should not freeze affecting the touchpad module.

  However, the Synaptics touchpad driver for Win 7 or 8 to win can be downloaded from Synaptics page.
  Recommend check it out!
