Satellite P300 freezes 2-3 sec while music, movies, games

Hello!

Well, this my last hope.
When I'm listening to the music, watch movies or play games my computer hangs for 2-3 seconds with a strange BEEP.
When happened the first time I formatted.

Was ok at first, but the situation returns!
I don't know what to do.

Today, I was listening music with iTunes and everything was ok, but if a change to another player... forget it!
What about films? And games?
I need help please.

Thank you

Hello

Have you checked the HARD drive?
Maybe that's a problem of HARD drive... I mean something with defective or similar areas...

You can check the HARD disk using a 3rd party software like Drive Fitness Test
You can download it here:

Download, burn this image to disk, and then use this disk to start.

This will check your HARD drive

    Hello

    May I ask what OS are you using?
    Is this Toshiba pre-installed Vista OS or have you installed Win XP?

    From my experience the iaStor0 for the SATA driver file belongs and maybe it s a HARD drive problem

    Have you changed anything in the BIOS?
    Maybe something like SATA to AHCI mode compatible mode?

    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. ;)

  • 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.

    I am at a loss to explain what is happening.

    Help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Hey Buddy,

    > The game is not graphics intensive and worked for about a month without any problems, has recently started to freeze
    This could mean that the laptop is overheating
    The reason for overheating is the dust that blocks the fan for laptop gets hotter

    I recommend to clean using a jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans. You can do it without disassembling the computer so it is very easy and takes only 5 minutes.
    Just remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter before doing this.

    For example I clean my laptop every 4 months because a lot of dust is coming so it s worth it.

  • Satellite P300 freezes for 2-3 seconds

    Hello

    I had this problem from the beginning. When I plug this laptop it had Vista on it. In the random time intervals the computer froze briefly, making a stuttering noise, if there is an audio output. I've tried everything. I installed a new vista on the computer, tried to update the bios new drivers, etc. Now I switched to win7 and I still have the same question.

    It is more quite as common, but it is always very anonying. I cannont see any link with the use of the CPU or RAM. Recently, I turned my laptop to the toshiba service, but they deny any hardware failure. In other threads, I read on a windows update. I have searched for it, but it has not been installed (Vista).

    Can you help me? DOES ANYONE HAVE AN IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?
    I'm getting desperate. I've never owned a PC that I had no problem with. That cannot be normal.

    Hello

    I've heard this can be resolved if you install Vista 64-bit.
    Can you please take this test for us and confirm this theory?

    I don't think it's a general or common problem. I have the Satellite P500 with the NVIDIA card inside. Pre-installed driver is Toshiba 8.16.11.8829 driver version, and I have never notice one problem with display or graphics in general.

    I watch blu - ray movies, very often HD trailers on YouTube, play games (for the time Medal of honor, Black Ops) and everything works perfectly.

    What NVIDIA card is in your laptop and what display driver is installed?

  • Intermittent buzzing sound when you play music, movies, games...

    Since installing Windows 7 Ultimate, I have a problem with intermittent gurgling noise whenever something works on my laptop that has audio. The sound occurs approximately every 20 seconds maybe and finally a second about. It also distorts / breaks, so to speak, the image when playing a movie. The problem occurs if the audio is played through the speakers or headphones. It is also that the film / audio etc video stored on a CD/DVD or hard disk or online, so I know that's not the problem.

    I uninstalled and renistalled my drivers sound card and graphics, looked after that I have the latest drivers, updates DirectX, updated my BIOS etc, but nothing worked.

    I have Windows Vista Home Premium, which is preinstalled on the laptop when I brought last April. I did not have this problem on Vista.

    My laptop is a Toshiba P300D, 3 GB of RAM, Windows 7 Ultimate (32 bit), which was a clean install.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you

    Hey all

    I had the same problem with intermittent noise. After sending two times my toshiba satellite L750D to get fixed by the store where I bought it (they could not find the fault), I found that the hum is not meeting when wifi is disabled. So I updated the driver for my AR9002WB-1NG Atheros network card and it works perfectly now.

    It is the page Toshiba with the Wireless LAN Driver Downloads for all types of network cards. http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/?page=downloads

  • Satellite P300 - 161 freeze randomly.

    Hi all

    I have some problem with my Satellite P300-161.
    He is running on MS Vista and I get random freezing with the computer laptop everything.

    By freezing, I hear every application that runs past to the mode "not responding" and it freezes for about 10 seconds, then after 10 seconds or so everything will return to normal. HOWEVER, sometimes in frozen mode, I can thaw the laptop while hitting / drawing the space next to the touchpad... I know it's bad, but it's the best way to solve this problem.

    Is there anyone who knows why it freezes like that? Internal hardware problem? This component is under the area as I type?

    Oh I should add also that when he is in frozen mode, there is this very very slight hum from the laptop, that noise disappears as soon as the laptop stops freezing.

    Thanks in advance.

    PS. I uninstalled the operating system more twice if the OS is not the problem as I know.

    Why create the son second on the same topic?

  • 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.

  • 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?

    I had a similar problem.
    By typing the cursor is everything at different positions, and I wasn't able to finish a sentence.

  • Satellite P300-1FY - BSOD right video driver problem

    Hello

    I bought this laptop a month ago to replace my old who crashed without possibility of repair and I had problems with the video drivers since then. I hoped that the problem would resolve since I am in the middle of my exams and I really have time too much more time to spend to fix it myself, and I also can not him go to the store because I need some software for my exams.

    So the problem that in my view, lies in the video drivers for the graphics card ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470. While I'm working on my laptop my screen all of a sudden turns black and my computer crashes (including the very unpleasant noise when I play music at the time) after 5 seconds it flashes live and displays a message indicating that a beelschermstuurprogramma niet Super perfect en is naked herstela. In English, it would be something like s video drivers did not work properly and have now been repaired.

    It is of course extremely irritating, but it became even more then a few weeks previously when I had a blue screen because of a similar error. What make me lose half an hour of work on my laptop. (and as someone who has had reviews knows, half an hour is not something you can always afford to lose) I ran the wizard, and he sent me to the ATI site to look for the drivers.
    The downside is that I could find many drivers, but none for the 3400 series. After an internet search for awhile I finally found some drivers for these series (or they pretend to be), however, this installer was corrupted. I also searched the Toshiba site, but I did find what I was looking for.

    The laptop also freezes from time to time without the screen turning black.

    Could someone help me with this problem?

    Louis-Philippe

    P.S.: quality of the keyboard is really bad also

    First of all, you should post the exact code of BSOD and what operating system you are using. Then, we can search for this problem and what is the reason for this on the Microsoft Knowledge Base.
    Then please send the BSOD code.

    In addition, I put t understand why you can t find a driver on the Toshiba site. Satellite P300-1FY belongs to the PSPCCE series and so I can find a display driver for XP and Vista. So where is the problem? Maybe you should try to install this driver:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    But before you install the driver, remove the old driver first. Reboot the laptop and clean your system with CCleaner. Restart the computer and then install the latest version on the Toshiba site.

    The display driver on the factory site Internet (ATI) doesn't work because it s only for cards of office and not for laptops. Then, you can t install and your laptop has only been tested with drivers of Toshiba.

    If the new driver doesn't work, you should try to update the BIOS too. You will find on the page of Toshiba.

    Good luck!!
