Satellite P750 - 10 c: HARD drive slows down - Sandy Bridge Cougar problem?

Hello

I have problem with my notebook Satellite P750 - 10 c with S/N: 4B478828K.
When I enabled AHCI in the BIOS, computer slows diametrically, day after day was worste and worste, so I tried to change from AHCI to IDE and it helped a little, but is still not good.

I tried to restore my system, but it did not help.
I read that Intel has released a version tapped for Sandy Bridge chipset, I have (HM65) SATA 3Gbs problem (I just checked in HD Tune and HARD drive is connected to the port of 3Gbs), so I think I got bugged version.

My laptop is not guaranteed, but Intel said they changed valid version, so where do I return my phone to fix.

Kind regards
Tomek

> I read that Intel launched buggy version of the chipset for Sandy Bridge.
The problem was a Cougar Point of Sandy Bridge chipset and not the main processor Sandy Bridge.

In addition Intel said that this issue affected only the SATA 2 to 5 and not ports 0 and 1.
Most laptops use only two devices SATA (HDD/SSD and ODD) using the affected ports 0 and 1.
That is why I think that your problem could be linked to the issue of Cougar Point the Sandy Bridge chipset.

By the way: not all Intel Sandy Bridge chipsets have been affected.

Regarding your question:
Usually if AHCI is enabled, the HARD drive must use the performance of SATA. If compatibility mode, the HARD drive would go at the speed of the IDE.
I think your problem is perhaps related to the problem drive HARD and not Intel problem.

  • one of the three internal hard drives slowing down

    Everything was perfectly fine, I have three internal hard work led in may Mac pro early 2008, 10.10.5 yosemite OSX, 32 GB of ram, 128 GB SSD boot drive, a hitachi 1 TB and a 2 TB WD I bought 3 months ago. Suddenly a week ago that my 2 TB WD started working slowly, reading and writing time is too long for small amounts of data. Folder icons take the time of loading, and even if this isn't my boot drive, but its cause my very slow closing system. Other drives work perfectly well. I tried to repair the two partitions via disk utility, but nothing helped. The problem is that I can not change my project pro Prime Minister because that all files associated with the project are lying in this same WD drive files cache for After Effects and Premier Pro causing these applications run slowly. I'm working on a feature film project any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Probably the drive is a failure. When a disc is a failure it should read data multiple times to get a free reading of the error. That really slows thinks down I will quickly copy the data to another disk

  • Satellite A210-ICO - what HARD drive I can use?

    I'm getting bad sectors on the hard drive of my laptop, so I guess I should pay for a new one – but who are able to A210-1CO?

    TA, M

    Hello

    Satellite A210 uses SATA hard drives and you need a new HARD drive with SATA interface. You can buy each HARD drive you want, for example 160 or 320 GB. On interface SATA there is no capacity limit.

    In addition, most SATA HDDs have already SATA2 interface but its compatible downgrade to SATA1.
    I would have preferred a HARD disk at 5400 RPM. Of course, you can buy a HARD drive with 7200 RPM, but they produced more heat and noise. For most of the applications are pretty 5400 RPM.

    I have good experiences with Hitachi and Seagate hard drives.

    Good bye

  • Satellite A60 - question of HARD drive replacement

    I have an old Toshiba Satellite A60. The HARD drive died recently and I'm looking to replace it. I want to know what disk drive specification, the Toshiba Satellite A60 can support. It originally had a MK3025GAS
    HDD2196B ZE01 S 30 GB 2.5 "drive.

    1. I would like to replace it with a larger capacity drive. What is the capacity (GB) and speed the A60 can bear?

    2. do I need to replace it with a toshiba drive or can I use any other 2.5 "drive (Seagate, Fujitsu, etc...)?

    Hello

    As far as I know the old Satellite A60 supports one IDE controller.
    This means that you must use a 2.5 IDE (ATA) HARD drive.
    As far as I know the older IDE controller are limited to 128 GB with 28-bit LBA (address logic bit).
    Then maybe you should start with a 120 GB HDD, which must be compatible, even if the controller would be limited to 128 GB.

    But standard ATA-6 (also called TONGA-100) does support 48 bit LBA in this case, it is not limited to 128 GB. You can check controller HARD drive using tools such as SANDRA or Everest Home Edition freeware soft for the information on the controller built in the A60.

    > 2. Do I need to replace it with a toshiba drive or can I use any other disk 2.5 "
    You can use any HARD drive that meets the requirements (IDE, 2.5)

  • Hard drive broke down. How to reinstall Windows on the new drive?

    Hi all

    I have a HP probook 4320 s to which the hard drive broke down yesterday. I ' v tried meny methods to remedy, but that ship has sailed.

    Hello:

    If you are in a hurry and want to install W7 before your recovery disks are shipped to you, you can download the version of windows 7, which has been installed on your PC and is indicated on the COA Microsoft sticker on the bottom of your PC.  For example, if windows 7 Pro came with your laptop and is indicated on your COA sticker, you can download the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of windows 7 Pro in language comes with your PC, and use the 25-character product key on your COA to activate the software.

    You must use the language of the operating system that comes originally installed on the PC or the product key will not work.

    You will need a program capable of burning ISO to DVD files, burning, so that the DVD is bootable DVD.

    Then just go to the support for your laptop and driver page to download and install the drivers you need.

    Link to all versions of W7. These are real files to Microsoft.

  • How can I reinstall Windows 8 in my laptop if the hard drive broke down?

    I have a new laptop with windows 8 is installed (product key is embedded in the bios I think and no sticker license more on this subject).

    I just want to know

    1. How can I reinstall Windows 8 if the hard drive broke down

    and I don't have any medium of recovery and the warranty is expired

    2. is there any media can make me reinstall my windows 8?

    for example using the windows disk 8 OEM that can be brought in computer stores

    I know that windows 7 can.

    3. when I use other media to reinstall windows 8 in my laptop, it will ask for the product key during the installation begins.

    I'm looking for the key to the installation?

    I can in the future, faced with this situation. I hope someone can help me.

    Best regards
    Joe Man

    I think most of the technicians know how to use a recovery partition, but the real problem for the recovery of Windows 8, it is each brand (oem) will need an installation disc for their particular model. We can install a Dell windows 7 cd on any PC OEM and after doing the updates, it will itself attest. With windows 8 you can even not windows to be installed on the PC if the disk you put in does not support security in the BIOS.  In other words, you need the proper (HP, Dell, etc.) model numbers version of Windows 8 recovery CD similarly be able to install it.
    If you are a system integrator or building a PC for yourself I think that the normal OEM cd should work as long as you you know number OEM KEY or product key. Its the BRAND PC which will be a pain in the buttocks in the future for technicians who have to reinstall Windows 8 on a VIRGIN hard drive AGAIN.

  • Satellite L650 - performance weird HARD drive

    I have a [Toshiba Satellite L650-14F | http://se.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/ro/product/Satellite-L650-14E/1086065/] laptop running Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit.

    Whenever I have copy a very large file, say a DVD .iso image, one partition to another or when I move a lot of files, I can barely do anything else on the computer. If I try to launch something, the window appears only once the task is complete copy and overall, the system will severely slow down.

    This kind of behavior is unacceptable for a laptop with these specs. It should be fast blazzing and you should have no problem with multitasking. A SATA II HARD drive should behave like that to a single file copy operation.

    Does anyone have any ideas, it could be the cause? Anyone else encounter this kind of behavior? Any suggestions? Should all tests I check before send it off to the store?

    > Does anyone have any ideas what could be the cause?

    Have you tried defragmenting? You can try with raxco perfect disko, Diskeeper.

    > Someone else encounter this kind of behavior?

    Mine freezes too when copying, but not like in your case windows does not.

    > All tests should I check before sending it out back to the store?

    Try the utility called diving aptitude Test

  • Re: Satellite P750-114 - WLAN need driver

    Hello

    I really need help to find the driver on the right wireless for my Satellite P750-114-PSAY3E-02D002EN. I went through the trouble to install Windows 7 without using the recovery disk that you can get from the hidden HARD disk (I had 300 GB of files I didn t want to lose) and I got a nightmare to find the drivers for this laptop. (you mind I was warned by friends that Toshiba can be a real pain, but it's actually an understatement).

    Now (after a few days?) I m at the point where most things work outside my wireless.

    I ve found an old diagnosis tool PC Toshiba which is a bit difficult, but he said it s a realtek driver that I need, but I can t say that and that support Toshiba installs, I downloaded and then nothing happens. All suggestions are welcome!

    Thaaanks!

    According to specification for laptop, your laptop has Atheros WLAN with integrated BT card
    For WLAN driver check Toshiba download page - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp or WLAN Portal directly - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/. I think that here you can find the Win7 drivers.

  • Satellite A100 - memory and hard drive upgrade

    Hi guys,.

    I have a Satellite A100-158 of the model code PSAA9E-01700VPT. It came with a 80 GB HDD at 5400 RPM S.M.A.R.T. and 1 GB of RAM DDR2 (533 MHz).

    I think that my computer slows to a crawl because maybe I thought the hard drive being old and low memory for recent programs and therefore upgrade the hard drive and memory.

    A Western Digital Scorpio Black 320 GB 7200 RPM 16 MB 2.5 inch would fit? According to them, it's running at 7200 RPM with the energy consumption of a drive 5400 RPM (marketing simply bad maybe).

    And a memory card Kingston 2 GB DDR2 800 MHz working? It has a higher frequency than my current ram, but then I guess he can withdraw maximum permitted by the motherboard? I guess that's 533 Mhz as my module memory factory. I can also buy a module 2 GB of the same manufacturer exact DDR 2 as well but 667 MHz instead... still higher than my current memory module.

    Thanks much for the tips... I hope that this will bring my A100 more in standards without going to a new laptop :)

    Hello

    Generally, a HARD drive with more RPM isn't a problem, but he needs a little more power and product more heat, but it should work.
    It s based on your application that you are running. For normal use, 5400 RPM should be ok.

    The modules of RAM with higher specifications are also no problem because it s downgrade compatible for lower speed (533 MHz).
    Kingston is always recommendable, I've never had a problem with these modules. :)

  • Satellite Pro L300 29V - hard drive is dead

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300-29V only about 2 months, and suddenly the hard drive (very full) is apparently dead.

    Initially the laptop starts Windows correctly, but now the HD is not yet recognized in the BIOS. If it goes beyond the Toshiba splash screen, I get the thing PXE saying "a cable is unplugged. I tried to re-allocation of places the reader twice, but still nothing.

    It's really disturbing, because I had transferred recently practically my whole LIFE on it on other computers which many many many hours of musical recordings that I can't really afford to lose.

    I think I'll have to buy a HD dock and see if I can read and copy the data.

    Does anyone else have this problem? It is likely that the drive could have been erased?

    I should also mention that a day or two before this happened, my girlfriend was using etc. Open Mobile (Internet Explorer, Microsoft Word,) - computer I pressed the power button that normally makes hibernate - and when I turned it back, rather than resume where he left off, the computer started from zero and no work/windows were saved.

    I'm afraid that might be some stupid day, Avira, or on the Windows updates without end that has damaged something...

    EDIT: OK, I have a picture of the error I received before complete failure, but I can't download it here. Here is the text (on a blue screen):

    -----
    A problem has been detected and Windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

    If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

    Check to make sure any new hardware or software is installed correctly.
    If it is a new installation, ask your hardware manufacturer or software, the windows updates, you might need.

    If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable the BIOS memory options such as implementing caching or shading.

    Hi mate,

    First of all, I must say that I have this Satellite L300 too. But I didn t have no problem, the HARD drive works fine for 1.5 years and I use this laptop for Internet and emails everyday. I m very satisfied.

    However, what do you hear now?

    I hope that you can copy your data to another device and you will need a new HARD drive for your Satellite Pro L300. That's fact!
    In addition, there are a few good programs that they can the recovery of data from faulty hard drives. Just search with Google, you will find some interesting links.

    Good luck!

  • Satellite Pro L20 - disk hard keeps spinning down

    Hi, I have recently updated the BIOS on my Toshiba Satellite Pro L20, and I noticed that the disk hard keeps spinning down after about a minute, even while typing or surfing on the internet. I checked the power settings Windows XP and have it put on the desk, with the time 'Disable hard drive' set to 5 minutes when it is plugged and 5 minutes on battery (I always use on the same network). I checked the BIOS settings to see if there is something listed there, but there are no settings for hard disk power management in the BIOS.

    Although the turning down of the hard disk does not affect performance, I fear that it may be to focus on rising constant power drive / descent.
    The new version of BIOS is 25 April 06 Windows Bios Update for Satellite L20 (PSL2X), Satellite Pro L20 (PSL2Y) and Equium L20 (PSL2Z)', or a file 2, 20 - WIN.

    I think that it s nothing unusual that the HARD drive keeps spinning down applies none or BONES need the HARD disk activity.
    In addition, the turning down of the HARD drive has no effect from the bottom on the performance of the HARD disk or over the life of the HARD drive.
