Satellite Pro A60 crashes even, I don't run a lot of programs

I have a laptop pro satellite A60 and I noticed that he hung up even if I'm not running a lot of programs, I often encounter this problem if I'm under ie and the only thing I have to do to turn it off by pressing the power button for a period of time.

I just upgraded the RAM to 1 G to increase his performance, but I am facing this problem.

Hi Sam

I put t knows how long do you use your OS and what is the insensitivity of the use. Many users install a lot of HS on it and later I was wondering when the operating system is not fast more.

In this way it is not easy to say but I recommend to clean the system correctly and you will see if the situation will be better than before. Check all running processes. Maybe one of them makes demands on the CPU activity.

  • Satellite Pro A60 crashed during the update of the BIOS

    Updating to BIOS ver 1.70 to 1.90 (from Windows XP) my Satellite Pro A60 off without any warnings. After about 5 minutes of waiting I went it. And... computer just several beeps and stops again.
    Anyone has idea what it means? Is it possible to turn it on again?

    Hi Vladimir,.

    I suspect that your BIOS is damaged when your A60 turns off. Unfortunately, this means you A60 are a failure now his POSITION leading to generate failure codes series.

    As Felix said codes tells the Toshiba Service Agent exactly what the problem is so you will need to contact them for assistance.

  • Satellite Pro A60 PL: message: USB device can run faster

    Hello!

    I have a problem with the USB 2.0 drivers in my Satellite Pro A60 PL. everytime when I connect the message apear theres USB 2.0 device this device can run faster. What can I do about it?

    Hi guys

    I received the same message. It s not an error but a balloon tip Windows.
    I didn't find the reason for this message because my phone supports USB 2.0 ports too and I also connected a USB 2.0 compatible device.

    I've tired to remove the Device Manager, the controllers and the USB hubs and updated the Win XP operating system to the last State. I've also updated the driver chipset but sometimes (not always) this message again using a disc HARD 2.5 USB.

    I read in some professional computer magazines that this message is normal and it might appears with some SATA external USB hard drives. So you can ignore it.
    It s nothing serious.

  • USB devices not seen on Satellite Pro A60

    Hello

    I'm having a problem with my laptop Satellite Pro A60 running Windows XP Home: it is simply not to see all devices at all. Devices (USB, fan keys) are to be supplied with electricity, but I can find no trace of them on the computer anywhere. It is even not complain that they are not recognized - it's as if they were not there. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers of hub USB root/controllers, but that has not helped.

    It is the latest in a string a glitches that can be helpful to know: a few weeks ago, the ATI Mobility Radeon 7000 IGP suddenly caused windows crash at boot time. I could just sort the problem by updating the bios and reinstall the ATI drivers (all toshiba). It is not of course the relevance, but after the bios update I also improved the 6 F-secure antivirus software. XX to 7.01.

    Usually, I try to get as much as I can by reading these forums but I'm not a guru of computing and on this one, I'm out of ideas - because Windows is not identify any fault, I don't even know what to look for on google... Someone has an idea?

    Thank you very much

    Philippe

    Hmm, you said that you have already reinstalled the drivers of USB controllers/root hub.

    But maybe you should try to make this again as a result of this procedure;
    -Disconnect all USB devices
    -go to the Device Manager and change the view to display hidden devices.
    -Open the tree of the USB controller and remove all controllers.
    -Restart the computer and wait until the OS has installed everything again.
    -Then plug the USB devices to the USB ports for laptop

    If this does not help, it would be desirable to recover the laptop with the Toshiba Recovery CD supplied.

    Good luck

    Hello

    Just to put the hand on this Satellite Pro A60 PSA65E - 01H00U8K.
    It was really slow and crashing regularly so I reinstalled windows XP by using a copy of XP I had round lie and the license key at the back of the laptop.
    I have not the original CD media provided with calculation, so I used the following link for the
    [PSA65E driver on the site of toshiba UK page | http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=UK&selCategory=8 & selFamily = 193 & selSeries = 239 & selProduct = 537 & selSho rtMod = 384 & language = 13 & selOS = 10 & selType = all & yearupl = DST & monthupload = & dayupload = & useDate = null & mode = all Machines & search = & action = search & macId = & country = 8 & pa ge 1 = & startPage = 1 & prevCl = true].

    I installed all the drivers and software on this page, but my device manager is always showing three elements as not installed:
    Network controller
    Modem PCI
    SM Bus controller

    Can anyone give me specific instructions as to where I could find the drivers for these items? Or that drivers on the driver page to attempt to reinstall!

    Thank you very much, Tom

    Hello

    SM BUS controller-> Flash Media Driver

    Network-> driver LAN or WLan controller is
    Note: there are various different manufacturers Intel, Atheros WLan drivers, etc.

    PCI modem-> you need driver modem.

    PS: don't forget that the SP3 of XP Win is installed too.

  • Satellite Pro A60 does not supply power to the top

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro A60 and when I turn on the machine, the lights come on and the fan whirls for about 5 seconds and then the machine just turns off again.

    No matter if I have the battery or HARD drive in or not, the same phenomenon occurs.
    I guess it's problem of CPU or power supply Board, but I don't know.
    Is there anyone else who has had this problem and if so how is it resolved?

    Any help would be appreciated very with gratitude that I am out of warranty and need the laptop when you work from home.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I guess it can be a single processor or card mother related issue.
    If there is something wrong with the power supply for laptop card then the cell phone would not turn on, even for 5 sec.

    But it's only my personal suggestion to make sure what's exactly wrong check specifications should be necessary.

    So I think that a laptop computer technician should check it out.

    Good bye

  • Satellite Pro A60 Wireless connection problem

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro A60 which was connected to our main office using a Linksys Home Wireless - G USB adapt to I can share files and also connect to our connection broadband. The main office is connected directly to a G from Linksys home wireless gateway. It worked fine then for no reason (no settings have been changed or installed software) the laptop does not connect to the desktop or the internet. The software Linksys says that it is connected to the access point, but the internet cannot be found. Even if he says that it is connected I can't get to the desktop.

    I tried to set up a dial-up connection independent for updating drivers etc, but after the normal dial tones, he says that it cannot connect to the remote computer.

    We tried everything that we think would be grateful for any ideas. Please speak slowly and distinctly also even if I know a little technical jargon computers is a language that I'm not still commonly!

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    It's really not easy to say what can be the problem. In my opinion, you must remove all the settings and adapter WLAN Device Manager. Restart the unit, reinstall the wireless card and make a WLAN configuration again.

    In my opinion, it is very important to know if the WIFI network of the device works correctly, and if you are able to share files between the laptop and our main office. If it works properly again check the settings on our front door.

    One is the problem with Notepad or another device. If someone of your friends has a WIFI at home, you can try to check the laptop WIFI functionality. On this way, you can be sure that if the problem is caused by your Satellite Pro.

    If you find a solution please let me know what the problem is.

    Good luck!

  • Satellite Pro A60 - update the BIOS without OS

    I have a Satellite Pro A60, trying to install XP pro but says he needs the BIOS update, downloaded the new update, unzipped and that one file, will not start until no bootable files.

    There is currently no OS on the laptop, I understand that I need an ISO file but where is she... !...

    Hello

    Why you need to update the BIOS?
    I doubt that XP installation says that you need to update.

    Normally the update of the BIOS is a bit risky and must be that if she of really necessary. In addition the update of the BIOS can only be done from Windows. There is no DOS version, they available only authorized for service providers.

  • Satellite Pro A60: Blue error screen

    I got my satellite pro A60 laptop for about 6 months and, recently, a blue screen started flashing up to white writing scrolling down really fast and then the laptop restarts. I don't have the time to read what says the writing of this article. Can someone give me advice on what this could be and how to solve the problem?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Well, the simple is to reinstall the operating system. But if you wish, you can disable the function of Windows Xp to automatically read this massage of error on reboot.
    Go to system in Control Panel. Then the Advanced tab. In the announcement of the Startup Recovery section press set button. You need to disable the option automatically reboot.
    But it of very difficult to understand the error blue screen for ordinary users.

  • Satellite Pro A60 does not illuminate

    When I try to boot my Toshiba Satellite Pro A60, seems to be powered. A few seconds later, there is a click and it cuts.

    I tried to turn on the computer with just the power supply with the battery removed, just with no power supply and battery and power, but none of these options are making a difference.

    I also tried to clean the fan in the aspirant from the outside by a suction pipe, but even once, it did not help.
    Can help you with the Please this problem?
    Thank you.

    Hello

    Turn the laptop over and unscrew the cover on the ram. Then remove the ram and try to turn it on again. If it lights, put the piston inside the laptop and try again. It does not turn on? Then your ram is dead. If yes then you can replace, or have your asp replace it. If this does not resolve the problem, there is a small plastic cover that runs along the keyboard just above the keyboard. Take this off and then unscrew the fixing screws to the bottom of the keyboard. Under the keyboard, you may have a second RAM slot. If Yes, try to remove the RAM stick and turn. It work? If this isn't the case, you probably have a problem with the motherboard. If it lights fine, then you have found the issue and can replace or continue using it without the extra RAM. Hope this helps and have a nice day.

    Can anyone help?

    I've tried several brands of DVD - R, but also blank discs DVD + R on my Satellite Pro A60, but very few of them are even recognized.

    Pioneer DV - RW DVR - K13A is supposed to work correctly when I check the Properties tab.

    I tried to watch upodates but frmwre - na .zip was not allowed to work, the D drive was not considered appropriate...

    Help, please!

    Thank you

    What exactly do you mean? Is the drive does not support content or there is problem if you want to burn data on DVD-R media?

    Can you please explain this a little more carefully?

  • ATI error and no windows - Satellite Pro A60

    Hello

    When I start my computer, I get a blue error screen c0000415
    A quick google reveals that this is one of these: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/832324

    "So what are you bothering? I hear you cry - the problem I have is, in getting this error of the other (also the ATI card based) I stuck my red disc in and erased everything - including the windows... and CFLA error occurs before windows installs and SafeMode (-that worked perfectly before) does not work because windows is not installed!

    Oh the fun.

    "I think it's a hardware error" - Yes so don't I... However, before the reinstall and get it back, I could work to the computer in safe mode and videos played very well with the resolution and full color. Am I missing the point if I think a video work is an indicator of a working video card?

    I admit that I'm perplexed indeed. I'll try to dig up an old Windows 98 drive, but I don't know how much this will help, because the only copy of XP I have is on the recovery disk... [Return to step 1]

    Any suggestions much appreciated - thanks in advance...

    [it's a satellite pro A60 w / 256 +?] RAM, processor celeron 2.8 Ghz, ATI Mobility Radeon 7000 etc...]

    Hello

    As suggested in document of Microsoft this problem can occur if an ATI Radeon 7200 graphics card has been installed on your computer and the driver that is supplied with this adapter may not work correctly with Windows XP.
    The installation of SP2 should help.

    This statement of Ms. says it all! It of not a hardware problem but it is a compatibility issue with Windows XP (without SP2) and the driver radeon ATI 7200.

    You should try to get an original CD of Windows XP with or without SP2.
    The software callednLiteallows you to create a Windows clean boot CD and add the patches MS and service packs for this CD.

    Then, you can try to boot this CD and after installing the OS, you need to update or change the graphics driver!
