• Computer keeps freezing and makes strange noises?

  For some time my computer keeps freezing and makes weird noises when this happens. I have a laptop Gateway, Windows Vista, Firefox and internet exp.9, AVG for internet seuirty, and I tried system restore to a couple of times to solve this problem. When the computer crashes I have no choice but to restart and then it always ask if I want to start again, but in safe mode. I don't seem to have any problems in safe mode. In addition, the windows updates did not work, they always came as "update failed" it happened all of a sudden. Please, what could be the cause this problem and what are some solutions?

• Computer freezes and makes strange noises during playback of videos

  Hello

  As of late my computer was irritating me.

  When I go to play videos, or sometimes when I listen to music, the computer screen everything will freeze and (sometimes) it sounds like something of a transformer movie.

  The first freeze upwards, it usually comes out of it on his own. But a freeze on second or third place, I have to force the computer to shut down.

  I noticed it only freezes up when I play games on my computer. Games on the internet [like on Facebook] can make freeze however.

  Usually he never appears with an error, so I can't provide any help out there. When this all started upwards, it was a pop up on the display driver to have to restart itself (or something of the sort). But I saw only once and have not yet see it again.

  It's my laptop Asus U50F-RBBAG05 who works in Windows 7. All of my software like Java and others are updated, to my knowledge.

  It is, possible solutions? Or explanations? Or my computer went "off the deep end" and I might have to consider getting a new? :(

  [Not quite sure that this issue falls under the topic sorry in advance.]

  Hello

  1. did you of recent changes to the computer?

  2. you're talking about music or videos online or you're talking about for videos and music stored on the hard drive?

  Step 1: first of all I suggest you to update the video card and display drivers for manufacturing sites.

  If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.
  Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.
  Note: after find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software

• Satellite Pro U300 very slow opening programs

  Hi all

  I bought a Satellite Pro U300 in February 2008 and I only use it 3 - 4 times since then... It is very slow at the opening of the programs (I have only one statistical program installed) and Web pages and creates problems when I try to download other programs that have a different version of Windows Vista.
  I really regretted buying this phone and I'm looking for someone to sell.

  Until I do, I was wondering if I could uninstall Windows Vista and install Windows XP for example, or do anything else that would make my phone fun to use.

  Anna

  Hello

  The preinstalled operating system ran slowly because many applications are running in the background.
  My laptop was slow too to experience of applications have been disabled.

  You can disable in MSCONFIG.
  Type msconfig window RUN and check the Startup tab.
  You will find the software that could slow down the operating system.

  With regard to the installation of Win XP.
  Yes, you can also install Win XP. By using the Win XP laptop should be little faster because Win XP doesn t need a lot of material resources.

• Satellite Pro U300 (PSU31E) - freezes on the Welcome screen

  Hi all

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro U300 model no notebook 01900REN PSU31E purchased as new and connected to Windows XP.

  It worked perfectly fine for about a year until very recently when it started freezing on blue welcome screen. I had to disconnect the battery because it has not proceeded past the blue welcome screen. I ran the antivirus avast but it nothing of the detected note. Now even when I disconnect and reconnect the battery the screen does not go beyond the Welcome screen blue even if the mouse is moved again, and occasionally the pointer arrow-pointer to sand-clock pointer initially and then rest as arrow-pointer changes. Pressing buttons, Ctrl + Alt + Delete, using the mouse or the battery are not any good.

  I backed up things but not until recently. Please help me, I'm an amateur like these sorts of things, I'm English teacher from teaching professional so I really need materials and capabilities of the laptop. What should I do, please help!

  Thanking you in advance,

  Hey the view,.

  Have you tried the same thing in safe mode? Go to the advanced boot menu by pressing F8, select Safe mode.
  Check it!

  It of really difficult to say why this is happening but if it doesn t work I think that it s time to reinstall Windows. So take the Toshiba Recovery disk and boot from it. If you follow the instructions on the screen you get factory in minutes! :)

• Satellite Pro U300: Low resolution on external LCD screen and a station

  I've got Satellite Pro U300 and LCD HP1907v and PA3542E-2PRP - docking station.

  When I connect external LCD for laptop - resolution is OK (1440 x 900). But when I connect the external LCD display in a docking station - the resolution is lower(), I can't change it, and I don't have some display options under Fn + F5 (that I had when I passed this lcd directly to the laptop).

  Help me find a solution, please!

  Yes. Latest Dynadock software must be installed.
  I checked the hardware specifications of the dynadock with DVI-d port and DVI supports a maximum external resolution UXGA (1,600 x 1,200) 24-bit.

• Re: Satellite Pro U300: critical battery Vista hibernate problem

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro U300 PSU31E and have problems with the critical level of batteries and hibernation since I got it.

  It comes with Vista Business

  Critical battery level is set at 2% - is the the strage thing if I hit Hibernate mode (via the power button or start > Hibernate) it have hibernated ok - even at 2% remaining battery. However if I leave it to do this automatically (via the action of critical battery and critical battery level Windows) he died just in hibernation - looks like it ran out of power. The only way I can operate automatically through Windows is by setting the battery level critical to 8% (he dies still in hibernation on what whether it is less than 8%).

  Normally you would just say ok the critical low level must be higher but one) why when I Hibernate manually less than 8% is working perefectly and b) put 8% loses me a good a few minutes! and (c) especially the computer or the battery do not think they are flat at 8% - then, the problem is that it allows you to restart. When the computer starts less than 8%, he has already missed his firm critical point 8% so then just down and down with no further action of the battery until it dies. My XP laptop would be closed, then the computer would know the battery is flat and do not allow a restart up to the critical load of 3%.

  What is one thing Vista or Toshiba?

  Probably not the battery I have 2 with exactly the same problem

  I have all the latest drivers for the power and Vista SP1 and latest version of the BIOS

  Thank you

  Hi David

  I think it s not a Vista problem or question Satellite U300.

  The point is that the OS Vista needs a lot of resources and more energy than the older Microsoft operating systems.

  Always is it that same laptop with pre-installed Win XP would be a lot more time using the power of the battery as with Vista OS.
  Vista is a monster and he eats all the material resources.

  This means that if you use the Vista operating system, you must set the parameters of critical battery at a higher level to make sure that your laptop (Vista OS) would end Hibernate process correctly.

  I think that the last 2% of the battery power is simply not enough to put the laptop into hibernation mode.

  So don't worry, relax and enjoy your beautiful baby ;)

• Satellite Pro U300 PSU31E - two how to adjust the fan speed

  While using the laptop the fan comes in for a few seconds and then stops again, which causes the temperature
  increase... what makes the fan?
  Throttle upward rather than stay in a slow to medium status.

  I'm running Vista Business, but I did ' t find the parameters in this regard.

  In the ACPI BIOS is not accessible, but as already posted my problem looks a bit like this:

  Re: ACPI fan on Satellite L30
  Posted the: 13-Sep-2007 22:08 reply

  The fan goes in cycles like this:
  ------------------
  Less than 50, fan
  When > 55, fan to full
  When< 55,="" fan="" on="">
  When< 50,="" fan="" off="">
  and it continues

  ------------------

  It would be much better than when he went to more than 50 years she just spend on bass, then
  It would never reach 55 and never go up.
  And the laptop would be 100 x more silent.

  Another thing: the Germany from Toshiba support page won't load at all or is the global page
  very slow, using different locations and conections. That I can not retrieve all the information to help me.
  And I do not think the University backbone or my DSL 6 Mbps at home is the problem

  Hello

  The fans begin to turn only if a certain temperature point has been reached.
  These fan table information is stored in the BIOS and cannot be changed.

  Some computers laptops satellite supports an additional option in the Toshiba HWSetup. It allows to change the CPU dynamically switchable or always low frequency mode.
  This would set the temperature to a lower level and the fans would lead occasionally.

  In any case, to my knowledge, this option is not available in the Toshiba HWSetup and not in the BIOS so I guess that it s not possible to control fan behavior.

  By the way; If you wish, you can test a tool like aSpeedFanfreeware.
  This program can control the speed of the fans according to the temperatures of the system.
  Maybe it will work on your Satellite Pro U300

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro U300: Error Message: cable is disconnected, but Lan cable is connected

  Hello

  I have problem with interface ethernet (wired) in my Satellite Pro U300. I use in many places (home, office, customers) and when I restore in sleep or hibernation mode interface ethernet shows that the * cable is disconnected *, despite the connection of the cable * is * connected and works perfectly with all other devices, laptops and PC.

  The switch also shows that the there no signal link. But re - activate the malfunctioning ethernet port, just disable the ethernet interface and then after 5s (1 s is too short!) turn on.

  Then a baloon in taskbar window indicates that there are 10 Mbit/s link, but actually, the link works at 100 Mbps (I can see it in the connection status window and the ethernet LEDs switch). This is the only laptop that has this kind of problems.

  I have the latest version of the installed ethernet 5.664.205.2007 driver on Win XP SP2.

  Is it possible I'm getting rid of turn on interface ethernet several times per day (except change laptop)?

  Hello

  I put t have a real solution but I have a few proposals of solution

  First of all, you should check in Device Manager if the network card has been properly recognized. The Ethernet card should be listed under network without any yellow exclamation point cards.

  If the network adapter has been properly recognized, then the next step should be checking the properties of the LAN connection.
  There, you should check the properties of the TCP/IP protocol.
  The settings such as IP address automatically get & address of DNS server automatically get must be marked.

• When the capacity of the battery falls Satellite Pro U300 occasionally lose power

  Hello

  I suspect you have a defective battery (standard installed on the laptop) on my new Satellite Pro U300 - 11 k and I wonder if someone had a similar problem.
  When the power drops to 10%, my laptop occasionally loses power. In the range of less than 7% capacity always loses power, i.e. either fails to start the hibernation, or is unable to complete the process (I can always tell if power was lost during hibernation because of the characteristic of the system of protection HD sound). I did several tests, especially in the power saving mode. "High performance" mode power seems to be a little more reliable, but still fails to shut down less than 5% of the capacity. The level of Hibernate by default on the Toshiba Windows Vista pack is as low as 2%, so I can wait until it is able to work at this level.

  Overall the battery capacity is about 1 h (Media Player, fashion high performance, maximum intensity) at all about 2 to 2.5 hours (slowed or text editor, mode, brightness low power saving). Charging time is about 1 hour (seems too short). They are difficult to objectively assess that Toshiba avoids quoting the specifications of the battery, but I consider the question of the reliability of the above as being a serious (do not want to take the risk of damaging the HD). I am considering visiting the service center, but leaving both the computer and the battery with them would be a nuisance for me and I would rather avoid it if I can. I wonder if I can claim the warranty on the battery alone?

  Any suggestions would be welcome.

  Background information:
  -The U300 is a few weeks old.
  -The battery has been fully charged and discharged (approximately 15 times since purchase).
  -Cooldown takes 1 h - 1.5hrs
  -J' using Vista Business
  -J' went through the power settings to make sure they are ok and to change threshold levels
  -I am an experienced business user, I use a laptop computer at work which stops always perfectly to the power level of 3%

  Thanks for help

  Reading your post, I do see no battery issues! Everything you say is right and not a malfunction.
  Please note that the Vista operating system needs much more computing resources and the battery is much more emphasized running Vista!

  Please also note that the level and time to discharge the battery can be different! Everything depands of the use of the laptop!
  All the portable devices and parts waste the power of the battery at the same time and that's why there are differences in the discharge procedure.

  Don t be afraid and take advantage of your laptop but if you think you will need to contact the ASP in order to clarify this issue, then feel free to contact service technician.
  They should be able to help you.

  Hello

  you say it s always in the taskbar? Check the autostart folder? Another way may be to use the microsoft sysinternal tools to remove this reminder from startup list. You can also use msconfig, but I guess you have Vista, so it would be better to use sysint...

• FN + F10/F11/F12 in Satellite Pro U300 does not work

  Guys,

  need your help...
  I have the Satellite Pro U300 series and most recently the numbers four and six obtained busted... its does not work so I try to use the superposition of numeric keypad but I have observed that after pressing FN + F11 nothing happens...

  Please help me...

  Thank you

  Hello

  When you use FN + F11 small control LED must be lit and the keypad must be enabled.
  If your laptop is preinstalled with Toshiba recovery image this option SHOULD work correctly.

  So nobody here knows what you did with your laptop and why these options are not available more.
  Before you start with advice how to get this working again once please let us know what operating system is preinstalled on your Satellite Pro U400.

  Hi all

  My Satellite Pro U300-14R detects no audio. I tried almost everything to solve this problem, including the update of the BIOS, driver sound driver chipset, etc.

  Still, there is no sound in my system. Not at all even when I load the sound system.

  I checked under sounds and Audio Devices Properties (Control Panel). Everything is disabled.

  Hope that someone would be able to help me.

  See you soon

  Hey,.

  What operating system you have?

  You must install Service Pack 3 for Windows XP, because it contains important fixes for the sound card drivers.

• Satellite Pro U300 OS does not recognize PS/2 Port TouchPad

  I have a similar problem.

  My system doesn't recognize that the PS/2 Port TouchPad exists on my Satellite Pro U300. He acknowledges that it no longer works but when I go to Control Panel then mouse it does not appear in the list of devices.

  Help!

  Hello

  I m do not know what problem describe you exactly.
  Do you mean that your notebook computer touchpad no longer works, or did you mean the USB mouse?

  If you mean touchpad, so you should try to reinstall the driver for the touchpad.
  The European driver Toshiba page provides Synaptics touchpad drivers series Pro U300 for Win XP and Vista.
  But generally the operating system should automatically recognize the touchpad and touchpad should work even using the common internal Windows driver.
