Satellite Pro A300 - overheating

• Satellite Pro A300 crashes with white screen

  I have a Satellite Pro A300, AMD processor, Vista, ATI graphics card.

  The system worked fine for a year, but there are a few months, he started crashing, the screen went white, not blue, whatever it be running, like music, stopped. This can occur after several hours or minutes, or even if he is re-start. All my software is up-to-date, Microsoft and Toshiba. I rebuilt my system from scratch and the symptoms came back.

  At first I thought that this could be a heat problem, but I followed this but I don't think that's it. It crashed seconds after leaving standby mode when it has not had a chance to warm up.

  Anyone have any ideas?

  Hey Buddy,

  Theoretically, it might be an overheating problem so the screen became due white built in overheating protection...

  You should try to clean your laptop using a jet of compressed air. This could blow the dust of fans cooling and, therefore, it of not necessary to disassemble the laptop.

• Need driver more recent card ATI Radeon 3650 - Satellite Pro A300-1NT

  I ask then is there latest drivers for Windows XP

  Hello

  I think you have already answered that question yourself...

  As you wrote that you can get all the drivers on the Toshiba site and if it isn t a newer driver available you can nothing more I think. Satellite A300 isn t a laptop of game performance so I think that the display drivers are not so important.

  The only way to obtain a more recent version, it's looking on external Web sites. Maybe you can get the desktop pilot working had some changes I put t know but really attention! Other drivers don't have protection against overheating and you could destroy the graphics chip. Be very careful of what you do.

  Alternatively, you can search on the Toshiba site for other models of laptops with ATI card too. Maybe, you can get a newer version

• Satellite Pro A300 - for Windows 7 power management strategy

  Hi all

  I have the following on my Satellite Pro A300 problem:

  My laptop fan works continuously, which means almost always turn. I cleaned the entire cooling with compressed air, so it is not clean, no problem with that. The reason is that in browsers when Adobe Flash Player runs, it loads the CPU and the GPU, so that the fan trying to cool the system.

  Now I ask you, is there any solution to fix this? I mean even to reduce the GPU clock speed when I do not use the graphics intensive applications.

  I use Google Chrome as default browser and the Windows 7 OS 32 bit.

  Thank you in advance.

  Hey Buddy,

  If an application load the CPU and the GPU it s normal behavior that the fan rotates and probably on top level so it s high usage. So don t you worry because everything is normal. The fan protects the equipment from overheating.

  What you can do is updated Google Chrome and Flash Player. Also try to use the most recent version, they also contain security updates.

  Last but not least, you can change the cooling method in the power management Windows (change the power plan settings). If you have installed Toshiba Value added Package, you can choose between optimized battery and a maximum Performance. Select optimized battery and fan activity will be less.

• What model is my Satellite Pro A300?

  Labels under the laptop are completely empty.
  Looking at the Toshiba Utilities, I managed to get a number of model-part, which is PSAG1E-00F004EN

  Seeking advice for an upgrade of RAM I have been informed by more than 1 manufacturer of memory there should be 3 digits in the model number following the figures 'A300 '.

  I am told that the model number should look something like "Satellite Pro A300-XYZ..."

  Can someone tell me what this "XYZ" is based on the model-part No. PSAG1E-00F004EN?

  Thank you

  Hello

  I ve posted the answer on your other thread but here's a brief overview:

  For all those who need information on the laptop model and have the serial number please check on the card of the Toshiba unit - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/unitdetails/

  By the way: this number XYZ is not so important. Part number of your machine is important. It is PSAG1E for your A300 and the part number is important for the identification of model and correct drivers download.

• New HARD drive installed Vista 32 bit, but need drivers for Satellite Pro A300-1MC

  "Because my recovery disks that I made 3 years ago does not, I just installed Vista 32 bit and then on the Toshiba site, where I have downloaded all the drivers available for my laptop (a Satellite Pro A300-1MC) on a USB key (that I don't have a driver to connect to broadband on my laptop) and when I tried to open on my laptop a message comes up saying" Please insert the last disk of all selfextracting and click OK to continue. "

  So what I do now?
  Thank you

  Sounds like you have enabled autoplay
  Whenever you insert the memory key USB flash it will try and read the contents of the files on it.
  You can disable this by holding SHIFT when you insert the USB key.
  This should disable the AutoPlay option.
  Then you can go to MY computer in order to access the USB key.

  Note: pilots are zipped so you will need to decompress the content first, I installed a 3rd third party tool called WinRAR to unpack the packages unique.

• Satellite Pro A300 PSAGDE re-start when it is plugged

  I've had this laptop stored for awhile that I couldn't work through this problem, but I'll have another chance.

  The laptop is a Satellite Pro A300 PSAGDE.
  The problem I am haiving, is that the laptop might restart whenever I connect the PSU, but not when you use a live CD (Ubuntu).

  Let me try to Flash a BIOS replacement to see if this will fix the problem.
  Unfortunately, the necessary software to Flash the BIOS requires the laptop to be plugged.

  Is there a way around this problem?
  Can I trick the software into thinking it is plugged?
  Is there a way I can return/repair of the BIOS in a different way because obviously the problem has always been there.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Sorry mate but I'm afraid I n t m know exactly what the problem is
  You said that you can not boot from a Linux Live CD, but you can install a Windows system on this laptop?

  Why do you think the BIOS is the problem?
  Even if the BIOS is not updated, the laptop should power on correctly and should boot

  Can you explain the problem exactly?

• Satellite Pro A300 - 1 2 - HDD upgrade advice

  Hello

  I would really appreciate the help as I'm going round in circles. I have a Satellite Pro A300 - 1 2, and I want to replace the HARD drive and install Windows 7, what is the best HARD drive I can get to the laptop?

  Also, what is the maxium of RAM I can install in your laptop.

  Any advice would be great machines running lately and I think that the HARD drive has a bad sector in it.

  See you soon,.

  James

  Best HARD drive? For that matter I n t I answer. You don't have compatible HARD DRIVE but need to better. According to the specifications of the laptop your drive HARD original was 250 GB SATA HDD.
  I have my HDD Samsung A300 inside. Visit your local dealer and buy high quality with 300 or 400 GB SATA 2.5 HARD drive maybe. It will be sufficient, I think. We Toshiba, Samsung or Hitachi HARD drive. Check the price and decision.

  RAM upgrade: your laptop can handle with 4 GB of RAM. no more than that. If you have 2 GB inside buy more RAM of 2 GB module. 2 GB compatible RAM has PA3513U-1M2G part number.

  Good bye

• Need to host key for my Satellite Pro A300

  Hello

  Is there anywhere I can get a 'Home' for my Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 button without replacing the entire keyboard? I asked around, but the stores do not have individual keys.
  My House key is broken and doesn't stay on properly and I would like a new.

  Thank you

  You are right. You cannot order a unique key. For this kind of situation the best option is eBay.
  You can buy used keyboards and it costs a few Euros.

  Last month, I sold a keyboard used for A300 on eBay and got 14 Euros. It's really cheap and you can buy it.
  When you get it, you try to fix this unique key or Exchange the entire keyboard.

  Sorry, but I don't think that there is another solution for this problem.

  Satellite Pro A300 freezes when on the internet & the only way to turn it off is to take out the battery. Bought new Dec 2010 & is under warranty - suggestions?

  Hello

  have you tried to update drivers Lan (wlan)? What browser do you use? I guess, the Internet explorer, try firefox or opera. Also, your computer may be infected with the virus, or blocked by the firewall. Have you installed software before it starts? Is this ok when you bought it? I ask you too, because you do not have a lot of information.
  It is especially the driver, software problem.

• Satellite Pro A300 - how to access the installation of Vista hidden partition?

  AHOY!

  I have a Satellite Pro A300 PSAGDA 2000R

  It had Windows Vista installed when I got it, but after a while, had to reformat, so I did, (I want to reformat my computer every 6-12 months on average), it came only with XP disks even if he got a serial number for Vista on the underside of the laptop so I installed XP. That was about 2-3 reformats there now.

  However, so that finding drivers I've seen mention of a hidden partition to reinstall Vista (which I hope it is 64-bit) and tried to do this several times but unfortunately it does not work, I guess that maybe what XP installation I can accidentally deleted or something? (Thought they had in fact on some solid state memory which could not be written more or something.)

  * Is there a way I can access it, take another that won't cost a ridiculous amount (for example download) or a nice person enough to create an image to download on a site or something that I can download file sharing? *

  I have also a spare copy of Vista (and a bit of XP) on the drive, none of them will work?

  + Another thing which I am interested in is can I get any of the preview of Windows 8 OS that will run on this laptop? Apparently it improved performance on Vista and W7 would be convenient for running on a laptop, and I have also heard say it is possible to upgrade to the full version of the preview or W7 for a minimal cost and would probably be much cheaper than other methods if possible. +

  And I'm actually quite handy with computers, so don't be afraid to throw big words at me,

  (Tried the methods found on the manual on page 3-8 ([link: http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/computers/satellite/pro/a300/psagda-02000r/download?os=22]).)

  I have European A300 and I believe that the principle on the rest of the same models.
  A300 was offered with Vista preinstalled but without recovery disc Vista. Image that contains the operating system, drivers, tools and utilities for recovery has been saved on the HARD drive and with book factory owner was able to begin the installation of HARD drive recovery. It works with the factory only settings.

  With preinstalled Toshiba laptop recovery disk creator owners have been able to create the recovery disk that can be used if the disk HARD recovery doesn't work anymore.
  If you don t have access to this image saved on HARD drive recovery, you must use the recovery disc. If you don t have the disc that you have a problem. Recovery image can not be downloaded. All you can download are the unique rivers, tools and utilities that you can use if you install a clean version of the OS (operating system).
  On the European models, recovery image was recorded on the second partition of HARD drive in the folder called HDDrecovery.

  Anyway, A300 works with Win7 32 bit. I installed it on my machine and I m very happy with it.
  > Another thing which I am interested in is can I get any of the preview of Windows 8 OS that will run on this laptop?
  I put t know who should give you this overview, but the fact is that you get it from Toshiba. You should check if you can get it in another way.
