Satellite P300-220 - gel in-game, or sometimes in windows

Hi, I have a problem with my laptop for a few weeks.

When I play a game, my laptop freezes after 10 minutes or more, sometimes I can play for hours. But when it freezes U must use the power button to stop it. Sometimes it restarts by itself, but it is rare. When it restarts, sometimes the screen stays black and I can't do a thing, then it's off again. I have to wait to be able to start again properly.

I already check the memory with memtest and everything is clear, I also try a large number of drivers for video cards, but the results are always the same.

After the first time I've had this gel I'm trying to install Windows 7 to see what happened and he left. I also try Windows XP also unsuccessfully.

So I really need help because I can not find a solution.

PS: Sorry for my English I'm french.

Hello

What display driver is installed now?
Make sure that you use the latest Toshiba display driver.

In addition, it would be interesting to know with the factory settings. The same error occurs if you install the laptop using the Toshiba Recovery disk?

Also make sure that this dust isn't blocking the cooling fan. You can use the jet of compressed air to clean!

In the worst cases, you will need to contact a service provider authorized-online hardware problem.

  • Satellite P300-220: no microphone on webcam integrated on WINDOWS 8

    Hello
    I just migrated to WINDOWS 8 32-bit on my Satellite P300-220.

    Whatever it works perfectly except the microphone on my webcam integrated. The webcam itself works but not the microphone.

    Any idea?

    There are no drivers on the site of toshiba for WIN8 to Satellite P300-220

    Thanks for help

    TSB Rgrds

    There is no Win 8 to P300 driver because the Win 8 isn t taken in charge for this series.
    That's why some functions of the laptop may not properly work using win 8.

    However, please go to control panel-> Sound-> recording tab
    Click right on and mark options: see the disabled devices / Show disconnected devices

  • Satellite P300-220 - cannot run Recovery Disc Creator

    Hello

    Yesterday I received my new laptop (Satellite P300-220). Today, I'm trying to make a record of recovery and launch "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator", the hourglass appears for 3 or 4 seconds but nothing else, cannot access the application.
    Any idea?

    It's not easy to say which is the reason, but in your case I would start the recovery of HARD drive option. Go to the advanced boot menu, select fix my computer.

  • Satellite P300 - mouse gel and ATIKMDAG error - resolved

    If it helps someone...

    I had a problem with my Satellite P300... The mouse used to freeze from time to time for 3-4 seconds each time which was very annoying... and I used to occasionally get an error atikmdag.
    I searched the forums, but I couldn't find a definitive answer to my problem.

    Ultimately, here's what I did:

    I've updated the two anf BIOS ATI drivers and Vista (mine is homefamily premium 32). It seems that this has helped solve the problem ATIKMDAG. But I still had my mouse freeze from time to time. Someone told me I should try updating my audio drivers (Connexant) which I did and it worked. No more 'gel '.

    This means that these problems ATIKMDAG or mouse are not hardware issues because I was told first by technical services...

    Concerning

    Thank you very much for this report.
    As you know on the Internet you can find various forums where a lot of people are saying about error ATIKMDAG but offered solutions are different and will not help everyone. I'm glad to hear that your problems are solved.

    I have the Satellite P300 in front of me and I'm happy with it. After a year now, I still the original image of recovery preinstalled on it (of course changed a bit) and it runs great.

    Just a question: do you have maybe picked up info on the new Satellite P500? Great laptop with screen 18. I think that this will be my next. It you please?

  • 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 P300-220 - yellow exclamation on the sound card

    Hello

    I just lowered my Satellite p300 to XP pro, but it seems to me that I now have some problems.

    -First of all, in Device Manager, I have a line "Audio device on Bus High Definition"with a yellow"?" and a «!» I installed the audio drivers and kb888111xpsp2.exe execution but that did not solve the problem, this line does not disappear.

    D ' other hand, when I click on "my computer > properties" it is written that I had 2, RAM 96Go, but normally I have 4 GB. Is this normal? I'm a little afraid to see it and not know what to do.

    Can someone help me?

    Thanks in advance.

    You must install Microsoft patches:
    -KB888111
    -KB835221

    But these fixes are also part of the SP3!

    In order to solve your problem, you need to remove the audio driver and the sound card in Device Manager. I then have to install SP3.
    After SP3 has been installed, you can reinstall the sound driver

    It is important that the pilot would be installed AFTER the SP3

  • Satellite P300 with XP hangs at the screen "starting windows."

    I recently bought the Satellite P300 - 01 and had XP installed on it. I have fixed all the problems except for the question, that I'm going to start.

    When I turn on the laptop it loads everything flashes on the login screen and then hangs at 'starting windows' screen If I turn it off and then again about three times this issue finally arrives with the login screen. There was an ASP.NET account, and after the BIOS update that he disappeared, but the problem is still there? Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    > There was an ASP.NET account, and he disappeared after the update of the BIOS
    The whole story is really strange

    I put t know how you installed XP on this laptop and why an ASP.NET account was created or exist, but in your case I would recommend doing so again.
    Then install all service packs, hotfixes and patches of the XP!

    Simply show words on XP on P300.
    A friend of mine has installed XP on a P300 yesterday too and the XP works well
    Everything works fine!

  • Can satellite P300 - I switch from 32 to 64-bit Windows?

    Hello
    Soon I'll receive the CD with Windows 7 and the drivers for my laptop (P300-20 b). I warned for Toshiba Windows 7 Upgrade Option Program. And currently I have Vista 32 bit.
    Can I switch to Windows 7 64 bit of Vista 32? And another question, what is the optimal amount of RAM for 64-bit system? Currently I have 3 GB.

    Thanks for the reply!
    Kind regards
    Gregory.

    Hello Gregory

    Unfortunately, you can't switch from 32 to 64 bits. If you want to use the 64-bit operating system, you must do any new installation. Install Vista 64-bit using the recovery disc or HARD drive recovery option.
    After doing this update install Win7.

    Optimal RAM? You can use it with current 3 GB, but if possible you can upgrade RAM and more powerful laptop. ;)
    Laptop specifications that your PSPCCE can be upgraded up to 8 GB of RAM. Not bad.

  • Satellite P300-220 - atikmdag stopped responding

    Hello

    I have some problems with my laptop to play games or 3D applications. I have an ATI mobility radeon HD 4650 on that.
    When I try to play Guild Wars or Aion, I can see a few sparklink of black bands in many directions. I'm always after 5 to 20 sc a message from vista or seven, saying: "atikmdag stopped responding and has recovered" and sometimes a black screen and freezing to the BONE. So I can't play games...
    I tried different types of display drivers (DNA, mobility modder, toshiba display drivers, etc.) and different OS (Vista, 7 and XP), but I still have this problem.
    I have installed ati tray tool and ATITools in order to fix the memory use and frequency, but these applications do not support the ATI mobility radeon HD 4650 graphics.
    I also try some fix I found on various forums for problems atikmdag.

    On ATI official website here no display driver for ati mobility radeon HD 4000 series (or 2000 and 3000...) for Windows visat or xp... only for seven but it does not solve my problem...

    My conclusions are: display drivers does difficulty currently this problem or I have a problem of material with this laptop...

    If someone can help me or have the same problem, it will be welcome to respond to this topic!

    P.S: Sorry for my English I'm french.

    Very strange, but, in my opinion, it sounds like a hardware problem...
    Have you tried to update the BIOS? You can find it on the Toshiba site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    You also have this problem only with games or under Windows?

    If the BIOS update doesn't work, you should contact an ASP. Maybe the motherboard or something else needs to be replaced. Technicians can check your laptop.
    On the Toshiba site, you can search an ASP (authorized service provider).

    Good luck!

  • Satellite Pro A300 - gel during games

    Hi there guys, just two (hopefully) small problems with my A300 which I am in love!

    First of all, during any part of when im playing a game (such as Time-Shifting) the game will be to randomly freeze and make a noise as if the sound itself was stuck at a certain point, I only managed to get a blue screen ONCE when it freeze that says USB_DRIVER arrived and before I could see anything else , laptop resets and im sure that the USB device problem is related

    I have hardware problems? or just a problem of driver here?

    See you soon!

    Hello

    I also put t know if it s a hardware problem but have you tried to update the chipset driver? In addition, I would recommend updated display driver too. Two updates that you can find on the Toshiba site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    In addition, it would be interesting to know if you are using the version preinstalled Windows or another.

  • Satellite P300 - 220 (PSPCCE) and express card FireWire

    I have problems with an IRQ that is shared between the firewire (IEEE1394) and ati mobility radeon 4600. (the IRQ used by both devices is 16)
    Sharing this make my firestudio presonus (external FireWire sound card) problems when playing music on my DAO.

    I would buy an Express card for this problem, but I have to be sure that it won't be the same IRQ (16) than the other firewire connection.

    If you use such a card please check wich IRQ is used when it is connected on the laptop.
    You can see with Device Manager.

    Thank you very much.

    toskidus

    Hello

    The Windows operating system controls and assigns automaticity all remedies to all controllers!
    In my case the SD host controller and the graphics card share the same IRQ 16 and there is NO conflict.
    So I doubt that your problem is related to the same IRQ which is used by firewire and graphics card.

    Sorry, but that's all I can suggest about your question

  • Satellite P300-1This - Microphone does not work after installing Windows 7

    Hello world.

    At first, I'm sorry for my bad English, so I will say in no time.

    A few days ago, I removed a few programs, and I installed the new Windows 7 operating system. Everywhere I had to download the new drivers for the camera because they do not work. After you download the drivers of the camera, the camera become operative (YES!), but later worked for me, a built-in microphone was out of use. What may be of it with the cause and this driver to download and why the microphone not working?

    I can't talk with friends on Skype ;( Help me. I hope you know what I'm saying.

    Hello

    Do you really install any drivers after installing Windows 7? Maybe you have forgotten something and so it doesn t work.
    Micro is a part of webcam so be sure that driver webcam is properly installed and driver sound, you need to as well.

    After that, check the sound settings. Make sure that the Microphone is enabled and test it again with amp active microphone.

  • Re: Satellite P300-23F - where can I find working drivers for XP?

    Hi, I need display drivers, Sound Card & Modem for this laptop, drivers are in the download page do not work with this model:
    SATELLITE P300-23F (PSPCCE-06T03FCE)

    The OS is Windows XP Professional.

    Can someone help me?

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    Win XP drivers are OK but your laptop was equipped with the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 graphics card and the driver on the page supports only Mobility Radeon HD 34xx/36xx chips graphics!

    If you need driver XP then you will need to use a 3rd-party pages google simply.

    The audio driver and modem driver also work.
    But you must first install the MS patches: KB835221 and KB888111:

    They are part of SP3, but you must first install patches, then the drivers.
    If you have already installed the driver, then you need to remove it first before install you MS patches!
    Then it should work

    See you soon
