Satellite Pro A120 frozen until Vista Runing mainly

Hello, all the

Am a new user of Satellite A120 a few months...
It worked great for a few months, but now it freezes just upward while I work... Frostbite and processor system starts to make noise (ATMOSPHERIC pressure)
I have reinstall the entire operating system but no Prob still the same vain

So I install Xp it works fine...
But what is with Windows Vista as designed and recommended for Vista then why it is not working well on it?

I tried to disable Core Processing option in the BIOS that did not help me
Kindly any suggestion or anyone else having this prob?

You have reinstalled OS supplied via Toshiba recovery DVD?
Have you noticed this behavior with own OS preinstalled or later after the installation of some additional software?

  • Satellite Pro A120-185 - need Vista Recovery disk - never get a

    Hello, my trusty Satellite Pro C: is completely filled, and so I would wipe and do complete a new installation of Windows.

    It came with VISTA on it when I bought it several years ago.

    It's a Satellite Pro A120-185 and the operating system only disk I got with it was just something to 'upgrade' disc of Vista.
    I bought and paid for Windows Vista with the laptop, thus so I wouldn't have a license can I reinstall?

    Please note that I am an advanced PC user, I'm not looking for ways to reduce the space that my household is good and I uninstalled everything I do not use or need.

    I just want to be able to clean the laptop and reinstall Windows Vista... is it going to be possible? (I don't see why it shouldn't be because Vista came with the laptop!). Please tell me where I can get the windows disk since?

    Hi dude

    Read the other discussions on this topic even here in the forum.

    You didn t get this disk because you create the recovery disk using the Toshiba recovery disc Creator called pre-installed tool.
    This was mentioned in the manual as well!

    However, here you can order the recovery disk that you didn't create yourself.

  • Satellite Pro A120: After upgrade Vista control volume does not work

    Hello, can help them.

    I have a satellite Pro A120, and because I used the upgrade disk to upgrade to Vista, I was not able to control the volume button on roller on the front of my laptop.

    I see that someone has posted a repsonce for someone who uses an A100 series, but value added package for the A120 doesn't include this utility.

    Thank you

    David

    Discovered since I posted this question, by downloading the latest sound card driver, I can now control my sound on the roll switch on the front of the machine, but there is no display appears on the screen, as he did with XP.

  • Question about installing WXP LAN Driver on Satellite Pro A120

    I have a Satellite Pro A120 (PSACIE) with Vista installed. I created a dual boot with XP Prof I seem to have all the drivers except the WLAN and LAN drivers. I have downloaded the LAN driver there is no setup.exe file. No problem, (I think, maybe someone out there knows differently?).

    I used Device Manager to load the file inf and intel pro/1000 PL network connection selected with the Hardware Installation Wizard. At the end the wizard said there was an error code 10 and that the device probably would not work properly.

    Can anyone help? It does not of course! By pure chance that I bought a port replicator, its LAN works with XP but do not work with Vista! (There is a hint here)

    Is it possible I can get details on the LAN device such as model, serial number? Any help appreciated gratefully.

    Hello

    Are you sure you used a right and support for driver LAN?
    Error code 10 is known to me and mostly it appears if the device cannot be started because the driver is not compatible

    Ok. To my knowledge, there are two different Satellite Pro A120:
    the unit of PSAC0E supports Lan Chip Realtek 8100 CL

    and the PSAC1E supports the chip Intel 82573 L (Vidalia)

    So, what phone do you use?

  • CD not recognized - Satellite Pro A120

    I recently bought a Satellite Pro A120 with Windows Vista professional. I have a problem with the DVD player (Mat * a DVD - RAM) because sometimes when I insert a CD of the software, the disk turns but does not recognize the drive.

    I tried different CD, but the problem is the same. I can only solve the problem by restarting the computer. That always seems to happen unless the PC has barely started.

    I installed the latest version of the BIOS and still have the problem.

    Hello

    Hear you the CD cannot be read or the AutoPlay window does not appear?
    Have you used the CD s compatible?

    In the manual, you should find a list of compatible CD s & s DVD.
    But be aware that the user guide lists only the manufacturers of CD and DVD and NOT sellers like TDK or Verbatim, etc...

    In the internet, you could find some freeware software that finds this which is the manufacturing of CD or DVD.
    Then, you can compare your CD/DVD with compatible manufacturers manufacturing and supported in the operating manual.

    If the CD or DVD is not listed as compatible support or supported various compatibility problems could appear.

  • Satellite Pro A120 fails to load after upgrade BIOS and XP to Vista

    Help

    I have problems to make my laptop to load the Windows operating system. My laptop (no X6062917H series) was purchased in November 2006. I've recently upgraded the operating system to Windows Vista (Toshiba, Promotion) and was later to upgrade the BIOS of Toshiba.

    This was done via the Toshiba site, opting for the upgrade via the Windows option. Since the upgrade of the BIOS, I have used this phone two or three times, and now I can't use it at all.

    When I turn on the laptop now, all I have is a white screen with the arrow cursor. The cursor moves on the screen that I have spend my finger on the touchpad.

    I welcome any advice on getting my laptop to the top and running, my computer knowledge is limited, please make sure it is as easy as possible

    Thank you very much

    Mr. Gibbs

    It seems that you are using the Satellite Pro A120, which belongs to the series of PSAC1E.

    It seems that the laptop can boot the operating system because the arrow cursor appears on the screen.

    Have you tried to connect the laptop to the external monitor to check if you can switch the display to another monitor?
    It would be very interesting to know if it s a graphics card problem or the internal display problem

    If you will not be able to see something on the second monitor, I recommend trying to reinstall the operating system.
    But if it is not possible to reinstall the operating system, you will need to contact the ASP (provider) in your country for the control of the laptop.

    Good luck

  • Performance on a Satellite Pro A120-185 with Windows Vista problems

    Can someone help me with this.
    My laptop is a new Satellite Pro A120-185 with Windows Vista.

    I had my last configuration less portable, but you know what? He was faster!

    I'm supposed to have cetrino duo 2, 2 GHz and cach of 4 MB, FSB 667 MHz, RAM 1 GB, even though they are at 533 MHz, 100 GB 5400 RPM HARD drive / MIN.

    It is slow, not only starting, programs opening, plays something, the browser and even to copy from the CD to the hard drive sometimes give me time 4 days left!

    Clicking on something takes forever. What's wrong?
    Need less to say that with vista no and I mean none, of my devices are busy. Dongle Bluetooth, USB disk, printer, NAS, and and...

    Hey dude,

    Please don t forget that Vista has been installed on your laptop and the additional tools of Toshiba and the utilities that control many additional features!
    There is a huge difference between Vista and early Microsoft operating systems.

    The Vista eat computer resources and many devices old don t work or cannot be installed because the 3rd device manufacturers don t provide Vista drivers!

    In my opinion an upgrade to 2 GB ram would increases the performance of laptop.
    All programs and utilities could be loaded more quickly

  • What is the correct way to "downgrade" from Vista to XP on Satellite Pro A120?

    I want to downgrade to XP. I have a Satellite Pro A120 PSAC1E. How should I proceed? TIA.

    Hello

    First of all see if all drivers are available for this machine.
    You can check this link:

    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
    http://209.167.114.38/support/download/ln_byModel.asp

    Then download the drivers and burn them to a CD/DVD. Back up your data on a DVD or external HARD drive.
    After you have done all these things, just put the CD in your drive and install XP and then install all the drivers and you'll be lucky.

    Please ask, if you have any questions...

  • Satellite Pro A120 - battery not found

    Hello

    Technical details: I have a Satellite Pro A120, purchased about four years, running MS Vista. A year ago I noticed my battery has been virtually exhausted and bought a new battery (this one, to be exact: [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0028NJAL2]). Since last year it worked very well and I have no reason to suspect that the battery itself might have a problem. Most of the time, I have the laptop plugged in, in any case.

    However, recently (last few weeks, I think) I started to have occasional problems when all of a sudden I am notified that the battery can not be found - or rather, there is no actual notification, but the power icon in the changes of system tray with a small red on it X, and then the computer hangs. The touchpad still works and I can move the pointer on the screen, but absolutely nothing else says and there is no way out next to a hard reboot. Sometimes, if I catch the icon change from time to time and unplug the power cord (force the computer running on battery), it actually corrects issues. Not always, though.

    Attempts to seek similar problem descriptions online were not very useful; most of the time, the description does not exactly fit my situation or the Seraph blames the battery or the operating system (which, in my case, to be as the wrong answers, since I said the battery generally works well, and I had the same OS from the start). Also a search of these forums did not have no useful result. I'll call my go - to computer store and see if their engineers have all the answers or if it's just the time to take the old horse pasture and find a new filly, but thought that perhaps the good people on this forum may be able to offer advice (additional).

    Thanks in advance,
    Yael

    I think that no one will be able to tell what's wrong exactly; I think it is s battery issue but of course, no one can say it it s battery maybe motherboard or just a software problem. OPERATING SYSTEM.

    Usually, the software should not affect the functionality of the battery and I think that it s more material associated.
    The laptop is a little old and the battery seems to be old too so I think that the battery needs to be checked first

  • Re: Satellite Pro A120-189 - RAM who do I take for the upgrade?

    Hello everyone

    I want to upgrade the RAM for my Satellite Pro A120-189, model number PSACIE-05V021EN, as the laptop is quite slow (I use Vista 32 bit business).
    I was wondering what is the maximum RAM for my laptop, and how compatible RAM module I might add (for now, I have 1 GB of RAM).

    Thank you in advance for your help!
    Best

    Hello

    I checked the specification of your laptop on the Toshiba page and this laptop can be upgraded to 4 GB of RAM. This is why you must use two modules of 2 GB with DDR2 (533 MHz) technology.

    You can get new RAM to each computer store or authorized service provider. I have good experiences with high-quality Kingston modules.

  • Satellite Pro A120 - Jerky empty reading after installing new HARD drive

    Just installed a new hard drive in my Satellite Pro A120. Made a full new install Vista, installed all the drivers but video playback is choppy/jerky. Even google earth is juddery. It didn't use to be like this with the original hard drive.

    A I had a problem of driver somewhere? I think it's the 945 chipset.

    Hey Buddy,

    To be honest, it's really hard for us, users, to say what causes this problem and I think you should test more yourself

    Anyway, you have reinstalled Windows using the Toshiba Recovery disk?
    You should also check if all Windows updates are installed and if you have yellow exclamation points in Device Manager.

  • Praise for Toshiba - I own a Satellite Pro A120 model: PSAC1A - 00K 005

    Hi all

    Here's a bunch of praise from a proud Australian customer!

    I currently own a Satellite Pro A120 (model: PSAC1A - K 00, 005) Windows XP Professional... I do not have an ounce of trouble with this computer and not have it to a Toshiba service center in the almost three years I've owned it so far! This computer received training from me at the moment and never gave me any major problems!

    The only problem I had (and it wasn't linked computer) was that my modem to broadband wireless gave the soul and I had to have a professional appearance of home - COMPUTER problem is the modem! I had previously updated a week before and it overloaded for sodomy and he said, "I don't want to play more!" and stopped working! This then cost me $ 299 for a new modem and on the reverse a new first a loser who has been blamed by my ISP and I went back and got a new free! What prompted my parents to go out and buy a Satellite A300 (unknown model yet!) so that they can use it in their business!

    Toshiba, you are to be congratulated on a great product and I will buy only a portable Toshiba in the future!

  • How to turn on a microphone on a Satellite Pro A120-161?

    Data sheet: Satellite Pro A120-161, already Win XP Pro, now Vista Business.

    The microphone works in Skype, etc. The sound is coming from a computer and record is fine (I can play stuff I recorded before).

    But I can't get the computer to play the sounds from the microphone in real time (as for karaoke). There is no table for the device called a micro mixer, I can not resolve, or reactivate it (it doesn't work in the two OS' are). He was made easily on the other laptop I've had...

    Any suggestions?

    Hello

    I'm sure that you use the external mic because according to the specifications of your Sat Pro anyone internal. I can't test it on my laptop but I'm sure that you will not be able to send sound to the speakers directly.

    Have you used an internal microphone or external on your previous laptop model?
