Satellite Pro U200 crashes, freezes in a strange way

Hello

I have laptop Satellite Pro U200, once by accident, it fell out of my backpack.
Then after, I pressed on IT Windows key is not started, even though I could hear the hard drive makes a noise.
I got my computer to Toshiba repair service.

It was very funny so I explained the problem to repair the assistant and after he pressed windows button started working as nothing really happened.
After some time I noticed that sometimes Windows everything freezes, as stop and that's all I can not move my mouse, keyboard does not (Ctrl + Alt + Delete included) all that I can do is hold OFF the button for everything and restart Windows...

Now he has started to crash (gel) in particular much more often.

I thought that if these two things are linked?
Maybe someone of you have faced such a problem before and know how to solve?

I think buying new hard drive, but I don't know if that would solve the problem, what do you think?
If all I have to do is buy a new hard drive maybe someone of you knows some net store where I can find it?

Thanks a lot for you help,

Hello

As I understand it, your laptop start freezing and crashing after several minutes of use.
Is this good?

Well, if yes then I have more questions;
Have you noticed a high temperature?
If Yes, then this problem could be related to a high temperature and windows would freeze due to overheating.
In this case I recommend that you clean the fans using a jet of compressed air.

It would also be possible that your RAM module is also affected

My laptop froze because of the modules was defective.
I tested the laptop with other modules and could solve the problem

Maybe my tips and tricks could be useful for you to solve the problem with the laptop.

  • Problems after Satellite Pro U200 has been accidentally deleted

    Hey,.

    Laptop started making noise like buzz... all the time.
    and it's really annoying. Never, it was so loud.
    Another strange thing, it is that we continue to be: after about 4 hours of running Windows, it starts to make the buzz of his stronger and ultimately all windows just freezes. You can not move the mouse can not do anything, even ctrl + alt + del doesn't work, so I have to push turn off button for a few seconds to turn off the laptop.

    I don't know what I have to do?

    I think there could be something wrong with the cooling module.
    Is that your fall, the computer laptop and, consequently, the cooling module could malfunction and might makes a strange noise.

    Usually, if don t cooling modules to work properly, the temperature rises to a higher level and finally the laptop begins to freeze due to a higher internal temperature.

    In fact, this is just my personal opinion and I can't say with certainty what s wrong.
    I think you should ask a technician for laptop for a short audit

    What I can say is that it really sounds like a hardware problem

  • Satellite Pro U200: unable to update BIOS to v.3.70 - WIN

    Model No.: Satellite Pro U200 PLUA1E
    OS: Vista Business SP2
    Current BIOS: v. 3.50

    Try to update the BIOS to v3.70

    When I run P0044v370, I get a Windows Script Host message:

    "Script:
    C:\ProgramData\Toshiba\Common\_cabBDF1.tmp\autoExe c.vbe
    Line: 2
    Char: 1
    Error: Failed to create object named 'WScript.Shell '.
    Code: 8007007E
    "Source: WScript.CreateObject".

    I want to update the BIOS before the upgrade from 1 GB to 4 GB of memory. Also my U200 Pro keeps crashing and whenever before it restarts, I get a message saying something like "try to install the latest version of the BIOS" (it is not on the screen very long sorry can't be more accurate).

    I don't have have the recovery CD, I'm trying to boost performance because it runs very slowly.

    Everything is - I am in your forum people good hands! Thanks in advance.

    You have what Windows OS installed.
    It is Win XP?

    Update the BIOS needs an installation of the common Modules, so don't forget not that the common Modules are installed or this software update.
    The CM is on the page of the European driver Toshiba

    In addition, the P0044v370.exe unpacks the package I recommend creating a folder on the desktop and to decompress the files in P0044v370.exe first. Then move to this new folder and run the exe file in the folder.

  • Satellite Pro U200: Display Resolution changed to 1024 x 768, after sleep (Vista)

    I have some problems with my Satellite Pro U200 (WinVista, BIOS 3.50, Display Driver 7.14.10.1217).

    After the exit mode standby, the display shows the correct resoluion of 1280 x 800 for a second and then goes to 1024 x 768. It's very annoying.

    I tried to uninstall / reinstall the display driver, but it did not help.

    Does anyone have an idea?

    Well, I remember a similar problem happened on U200 with Windows XP and Windows XP MCE.
    The update of the graphics to the version 6.14.10.4543 driver has solved this strange switching

    Maybe the next update of the graphics card driver will clear this issue

  • Updated BIOS for Satellite Pro U200?

    Hello

    does anyone have any experience with BIOS version 1.3 for Satellite Pro U200? I've upgraded to this version of the BIOS and have had several problems since then - shortened wireless keyboard does not and display the overflowing of installation brightness to name two.

    In addition, as I noticed last week, upgrading the BIOS can not be downloaded more and there is no alternative - just says download page don't: "no BIOS upgrade for this product! Is there anyone that has 1.2 BIOS so that I can try to downgrade to this version?

    What is your experience with BIOS 1.3?

    Hello

    It s really strange?  :|
    I checked the BIOS for Satellite U200 and Satellite Pro U200 download section, but I put t found any BIOS download at this time.

    A few years ago the authorized service provider has installed an older version of the BIOS on my Tecra friends unit.
    I guess that he should be able to do it on your Satellite Pro U200.
    The other possibility is to wait for a newer version of the BIOS.

  • Graphic driver on Satellite Pro U200 (Vista Business 32 bit CZECH)

    I have two problems with my gfx driver.

    (1) for the recovery of the mode standby, the screen goes to 1024 x 768 instead of going back to 1280 x 800
    (2) for playback of Lineage 2, the game crashes to the desktop and I get the error message "display driver igfx stopped responding and was recovered. After Googling a bit, I found a new display driver for my Intel 945GM Express would solve the problem. So I downloaded the correct driver from intel.com but I can't install it. I get an error message saying "driver is not verified for this computer. Ask the manufacturer of the computer for the correct driver. So I went to the toshiba site and I downloaded the driver appropriate to go there (well, toshiba.com is not the last, intel.com has a more recent version). But when I tried to install it, I got the message that my computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installation! What does that mean?! I have read the readme file and my laptop has certainly meets the requirements, in addition to the driver, I downloaded to work for Satellite Pro U200, because I have entered all the necessary information to download the driver.

    If can please someone solve my problem? And if not, is it a toshiba support hotline or something where I can call?

    Yes, I agree entirely with snipe. In such situations, I do the following:

    Backup of my data-> recover my machine-> install the latest drivers and software including all the tools-> see what happens ;)
    And then work with the machine...

    I like computer systems...: D

    See you soon

  • Satellite Pro U200 - recover all of the WinRE partition system

    Hello

    I have PLUA1E Satellite Pro U200 - 02802QS4 with Vista Business.
    HOWTO recover the entire system of the WinRE partition?

    It is really strange that you do not understand how it works with recovery and what is this partition WinRE (Windows Recovery Environment).

    One more time:
    Partition WinRE has nothing to do with installation of recovery and laptop factory settings.
    If you want to have BONES like the first day, you must install OS again. You can do this if you install recovery image designed Toshiba. I don't know if this image you got saved on DVD (disc facilities) or saved as image of HARD drive recovery.
    If you can tell me exactly what you have, I can explain how it works.

    WinRE partition is characteristic of Vista and Toshiba has nothing to do with it. So, if you want to know more about it using Google and Wikipedia. Maybe some Microsoft forum can help you about this.

  • No sound after installing Windows 7 on Satellite Pro U200

    Hello

    I just installed Windows 7 Professional on my Satellite Pro U200 10 p.

    Available for XP Pro.

    Sound has stopped working since the new facility (which fromatting the drive - no partition) and can not find a solution. The v6.10.1.6000 of SoundMAX Integrated Digittal HD Audio Driver is installed. I uninstalled and reinstalled several times, but this doesn't seem to be the right driver. I can't find info to tell me what the correct driver can be either. The Toshiba site is a little sparse on Windows 7 drivers for this model and gives no indication that the driver may be is.

    Windows 7 does not think that there is a problem and some reports that "this device works properly." in speaker properties > Configuration information dialog box. However not coming out, the speakers or the 3.5 mm jack

    Anyone got any ideas?

    Thank you

    James

    Hello

    Go to Device Manager and check what sound chip you have exactly:

    Use this statement:
    [How to identify an unknown device? | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=78]

    Then you should be able to find a good pilot.
    I also recommend remove/delete the sound card in Device Manager.
    Just select the audio remove card and press on, and then restart the laptop

    PS: Are you sure that the sound is not muted? Please check this too!

  • Satellite Pro U200 - projector as external monitor

    I try to connect a projector as external monitor. I use a HDMI adapter, VGA, because the entry in the projector.

    If I use an old laptop, it works OK.
    If I use my Satellite Pro U200, Modelo PLUA1E-02301RSP, the display shows only the initial screen,

    I mean the landscape with the TOSHIBA logo, but it doesn't change.
    If, for example, I look at some photos as I have both monitors running, the portable computer I see the photo, but the projector doesn't change, it shows only the landscape and logo.

    What can I do?

    Thank you and best regards,

    I put t know if I understand you right but perhaps extended desktop enabled. You must disable this option in screen resolution settings.

    Can move you the open Office Windows laptops to the pic you is on the projector?

  • Upgrade SSD on Satellite Pro U200

    Hello!

    I have a laptop (Satellite Pro U200-PLUA1E-00X007HU of the v3.70 win7 32-bit bios), I want to upgrade with a series of Samsung 830 64 GB SSD. I read that the SSD need AHCI mode. My laptop supports AHCI mode? What can I change in the bios before installing the new storage?

    Thanks for the help!

    Robert

    Hello

    I see you're confused
    First, he must know that the laptop supports the SATA controller.
    This means that you must use hard drives SATA or SATA SSD.

    Second: AHCI means SATA some BIOS supports only a SATA mode, and you can switch between compatible (IDE) mode and AHCI (SATA) mode.

    If this switch is not available in the BIOS mode is always set to AHCI.

    However, to SSD drive question:
    I put t really no problem using an SSD.
    It must function as the SATA controller support

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. only thing, I had an experience at the hardware level, but not very good with soldering, should weld or not it comes with the wire that can be clicked into place.

    Thank you

    In the past, I found several threads where people have reported the same issue but on the different model of laptop. Obviously some of them have done a good job and repaired only.
    To find the DC jack is not a problem.

    You can find it on eBay and it is cheap. Put in google DC jack U200 and you will find it.

    Problem is that any computer laptop must be disassembled and new connector soldered to the right place.
    Can you do this?
    I want to say if you n t have experience with this stuff don t touch anything and ask for professional help.

  • Need new battery for Satellite Pro U200-182

    Hello

    I m needing help on the purchase of new battery for Toshiba Satellite Pro U200 - 182
    No model origin. what I found on old battrey is PA3356U - 3BRS with parameters: DC10.8V - 4700mAh

    When I tried searching on the web I found that this trick
    http://smart-parts.NET/bsearch.php?brand=Toshiba&name=satellite%20PRO&SER ie = U200% 20Black & model = U200-182

    I would like to ask if I can buy it (if this battery will be compatible) and also if its possible to buy the battery longer "life."

    Thank you for the help

    I found the info that for your laptop model there are two types of battery only:
    PA3356U-3BAS
    PA3356U-3BRS

    So if you use Google and put these numbers, you should be able to find an online store where you can buy these compatible batteries.
    By the way: link you posted is OK and I don't see the reason why you shouldn't order of it. It is listed as compatible.

    To extend the life, you need battery with more cells and ability, but it is unfortunately not available for your laptop model.
