Satellite P500-F12 - freezes after 5 minutes of game

I recently bought a toshiba laptop P500-12F with the specifications below, the problem I have is that whenever I try to start a game like mount and blade or empire total war, the game works for between 5-10 minutes, but then crashes completely and the cell starts producing a strong buzz. The only way out of this is to press the power button until it stops. I don't get the problem with something else that this type of games and I don't know why it does this, any help or adivce would be welcome.

Hello

The forum already contains these discussions where notebooks will freeze after 5 or 10 minutes of play. Have you read them?

Now it s not easy to say what causes this problem but first of all you need to install the latest driver of Toshiba display. Don t use non-Toshiba drivers, as they can cause the overheating!

Also make sure that you use the latest version of the BIOS and it s useful to clean the laptop time using a jet of compressed air.

  • Satellite X 200 freezes after 15 minutes of inactivity

    I'm tired of this problem: my laptop freezes after 15 minutes of inactivity and I can get it going again to reset. The problem was solved when I reinstall Vista, but after several months my laptop started hanging up. And my laptop is unable to install Tempro 2.0.3.

    Please, help me to solve this problem and I don't want to reinstall Vista again.

    Hello

    For me it sounds like that a 3rd party software application or is causing this problem because you wrote that after Vista reinstall, the problem has been resolved.

    I put t know this software you have installed, but you need to remove all unnecessary applications as shareware or trial versions.
    Then use CCleaner to clean the registry.
    Visit the Windows update website and install all the updates that are available for your Windows.

    In the worst case, you will need to reinstall Vista again. In my opinion a reinstall from time to time is normal and I have reinstall my laptop every year. So I often have good performance.

  • SAT S1800-921 freezes after 5 minutes

    This laptop freezes after 5 minutes. The only solution is to unplug the power supply. It is usually impossible for something like 20 minutes to restart the computer.
    Already tried operating system sector / boot in the bios-update / reinstall.

    Sometimes when I start the laptop nothing happens at all but the Green led indicating that the laptop is on.

    Anyone suggestions... Please?

    Hi people,

    I don't know any virus that will prevent a computer until it has passed some time. The only thing I know to cause this behavior is overheating causing an internal thermal trigger to operate. It must then cool enough to reset before you can find. Of course the longest (and so more fresh) the laptop's left over it will eventually work before freezing.

    Check that the cooling system is not obstructed in some way (dust or proximity loose papers, fabrics for furniture etc.).

    Kind regards

    Hello

    I think you should test the memory modules.
    The memtest software is OK, but not perfect. You know
    Even though the memtest would not detect any errors, the problem of the ram is possible
    Otherwise, it could be a motherboard problem too.

    I had a problem in the past, my book of 8 years froze only if adapter was attached to only if the html files were executed.
    Finally the mobo was replaced, and this fixed the problem.

    What internal temperature? Maybe it's at a higher temperature?
    Clean the vents with air... stream could help get better air circulation...

    Have a toshiba tecra 8100 and improved the Win98 operating system is XP Home. After installation, Windows update has installed all updates. Now, after 45 minutes of use, the computer freezes. Furthermore, it is still a Win 98 folder in the computer. Should I remove this? Could it be the cause of the problem? I would appreciate help with this. Thank you.

    I agree with asil. It is possible that your device has enough RAM and one moment is easy to much and laptop freezes simply.

  • Satellite A100-914 - stop after 10 minutes on

    Satellite A100-914 - Vista Home 32-bit edition

    For some time, whenever I turn on the computer it off after 10 minutes. Usually I restarted and then everything was ok, but these days, it seems to stop several times.

    In my screen displays the blue screen saying on: driver_power_state_failure...

    I've updated to Vista, a patch which should solve this problem, but the problem of still images.

    I have also updated the Bios of Toshiba, and then I get a Warner 0251 checksum bad - default configuration used.

    I also have problems with superfetch and search for host when I connect to the internet... but it is perhaps another question...

    Thanks in advance
    Daniel

    Hello

    What to say...

    Regarding the automatically close downs;
    For me, it looks a bit like overheating. Maybe you should check if the temperature is not too high and check if the cooling modules are working properly and it can cool the laptop properly. Sometimes the dust inside the laptop could have a bad influence on cooling.

    Regarding the system BIOS checksum bad - default configuration used:
    Try to access the BIOS and set the default BIOS settings. Then save the changes and restart the laptop.

    Regarding the MS patch:
    I found this Microsoft Knowledgebase document:
    The STOP Error Messages troubleshooting 0x0000009F DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE in Windows
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/246243

    It is said that this problem occurs when drivers do not properly handle power state transition requests.
    The error message most often occurs during one of the following actions:
    -Closing
    -Suspension or out of standby mode
    -Suspension or out of hibernation

    Check solution proposals in the document of Microsoft.
    If this does not help, I guess it's a hardware problem and you will need to contact the ASP in your country.

    Good luck

  • Satellite A30 921 stops after 10 minutes

    I am the owner of a Satellite A30 921, but it stops after 10 minutes.
    I tried to change the settings for toshiba power management, but they will not work any ideas?

    The laptop turns off automatically without display of error messages?
    This can be caused by an overheating problem!

    How old is your laptop and you clean the cooling fans in the past?
    If this isn't the case, I recommend you this doing.

    To clean the fans, you can use the jet of compressed air that can be bought in most computer stores.
    The problem is that dust and debris inside of the laptop prevents cooling modules works properly, and so the temperature increases to a higher level. This leads to the farm automatically from the bottom.

    In my opinion, fans of cleaning might help with this problem.
    Good bye

  • Vista x 86 the screen freezes after 20 minutes - captured some logs - need help

    Hi-
    I checked all the settings of power and as the laptop is plugged in (it's a Dell Vostro 1700), I changed all the settings to never Hibernate, never sleep and turned off the screen saver.  I'm not saying the monitor turns off after 45 minutes.

    The screen still freezing occurs, and the only way to get out of it, is a hard reset of the operating system (power button).

    Here are 2 logs system, I found, actually rebooted device itsself so after freezing.

  • Computer HP laptop G56 - freezes after 5 minutes

    Hello

    My sons laptop hangs after 5 minutes operation.

    The fan was noisey so I replaced in fear of overheating.

    Also, I got out of the State of the check box in the recovery menu.

    However the cell blocks after 5 minutes operation.

    I tried a disk check planning but again once the laptop freezes before it can fill.

    Is this likely to be a problem of disk or memory, or overheating?

    Any help would be great - thanks

    David

    Hi David,

    Your laptop is listed as coming with a 250 GB hard drive, but you can also easily install a 500 GB HARD drive if you want a little more space - readers at the following links are examples that would be perfect for your laptop.

    250 GB hard drive.

    Hard drive 500 GB

    The procedure to replace the hard drive begins on Page 37 of your & Maintenance Guide.

    ************************************

    About reinstalling Windows 7 on new HARD drive, there are two options - I tend to prefer the second option wouldn't it because it costs nothing

    1. you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition.  The cost varies a bit depending on where you live, but they are generally inexpensive.

    Order HP recovery disks.

    2 another option that you might consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

    You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( this must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - it is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  The Image comes from a very respected source (Digital River).

    Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

  • Satellite L300 regularly freezes after BIOS update

    I've updated the latest bios for my Toshiba Satellite L300. However, after using the computer for half an hour, the computer is frozen.

    Even though I reinstalled the operating system, this problem still occurs. Can someone view please the link to the previous bios for this Toshiba L300?

    Kind regards.

    Check if there are several versions of BIOS according to the operating system that you are using as if it were with other series of satellites?
    And redefine the BIOS settins on default. This often allows too much.

    Not sure, but I think that you will not find a previous version of the BIOS on Toshiba download page and so you can ask your ASP if they can return BIOS back to a previous version.

    Hello

    I think overheating is the problem. First of all, you can try is to clean the machine properly. I guess the CPU and graphics card works very intensive and produce a lot of heat. If the equipment cannot be cooled properly the laptop stops suddenly.

    Clean it up.

  • Satellite A100 keeps freezing after a short period

    Hi, I wonder if anyone can help.

    I have a Satellite A100 laptop. The laptop starts without any problem. However, after a short period of time the system crashes and I have to reboot the machine.

    I am running Windows XP Home Edition. I tried to reinstall a new copy of windows XP Edition family. However, the laptop continues to freeze when I try to do something.

    Although the real time, it takes before it freezes changes each time.

    I have two 512 MB RAM chips, and I thought it was a fault memory. So I took each chip out, leaving the other chip in. It makes no difference, the machine hangs with either chip.

    Help, please. I would like to hear from anyone who might suggest what's not here.

    Thanks in advance

    Maybe the temperature inside the laptop could be the reason of this gel.
    I had once similar there is question. My frizzy 6 specifications because the temperature affected the memory modules.
    So I cleaned the cooling fans using a jet of compressed air and I replaced the thermal grease which is a space between the cooling module and CPU. This helped...

    You can try to clean the cooling also fans. But be careful and if you have no experience, then a mobile technician should help you.

    Good luck

  • Lenovo Y510P SLI freezing after 3 minutes

    Hi guys,.

    Since I bought my lenovo Y510P SLI, I had a problem.

    When I watch a film/youtube clip/play a game on my logitech keyboard, I had a problem with performance.

    After 3 or 4 minutes my movie/game begin to freeze like a kind of energy saver turnes on.

    I don't know what could be the problem.

    I put my laptop in ultra-high performance via lenovo energy management.

    I also checked the settings of the windows power management tool and everything seems fine.

    I don't have a problem with my lenovo G550 I bought 5 years ago.

    Currently, I have only 128GB SSD inside my laptop and from time to time I connect external drive.

    Please let know us what I could do.

  • FrameMaker freezes after 60 minutes

    Over the years, I had insurmountable problems with FrameMaker version 5.5.6, 7 and 8 gel exactly 60 minutes after the start of FrameMaker on some machines, including hardware Dell, Lenovo and Asus and Windows XP and Windows 7 operating systems. At the minute 60 mark exactly, the process of FrameMaker hammers the CPU up to 50% and stays there, and the program is then frozen ("not responding"). The rest of the system still works. I (and several system administrators) spent several days trying everything in the book, nothing helps. I never found the source of the problem; I gave up and avoided using random Windows machines that do not exhibit the problem and using FrameMaker on Solaris. I now work at home (in fact, * tent * work from home); I can no longer avoid the problem, and the camera virtually unusable FrameMaker.

    While I appreciate all suggestions, each takes 60 minutes to test (of course) and I tried as much as I feel like I can't try them without some sort of a lead. To this end, I have a direct question for programmers of Adobe FrameMaker:

    WHAT DOES FRAMEMAKER AT THE 60 MINUTE MARK?

    I think I finally found the offending parameter that makes all versions of chassis (including 10) lock upward automatic registration or 60 minutes, whichever is earlier. It started to happen to me once again (even if logged in as a new user) right after I went into Control Panel and adjusted the keyboard settings. It turns out that if I put the None cursor blink rate can I get the problem of gel. If I set the blink rate to other settings frame freezes.

    I checked my other machines broken insofar as possible and this seems to be the question, and I can fix just by setting the cursor blink rate to any value other than None. I would be interested to know if this resolves your problem, too, rhbeers.
