Satellite U400 randomely reboot (PSU44E)

Hello world

I have a strange problem on my Satellite U400.

For a few days, it began sending blue screens and restart.
I used the audit tool memory Vista and identified a faulty RAM.

I changed both with 2 * 2 GB PC6400 OCZ, and no more problems according to the memory of vista don't check tool.

But, sometimes it works very well, sometimes I get blue screens and even sometimes it's restart bluescreen wothout just like that..., pssh...
The other thing I noticed, is that I sometimes have a few weird lines that appear randomely on the screen like a bad contact...

I've updated the motherboard drivers, the light and the BIOS...
I have no more clues...

Someone has an idea?

Thank you

Furby

Hello

First of all the links to the pictures don t work.

Secondly, it would be interesting to know if your warranty is valid.
If Yes, then you must contact the ASP in your country before you replace any RAM and other pieces of equipment. Generally, the warranty should cover these replacements.

I have a U400 too and my laptop works well. I upgraded the RAM too but I have used DDR2 667 MHz (PC2-5300) 200 - PIN SODIMM modules.
I put t know why you used the PC6400 (800 Mhz) but perhaps that this problem is really related to the question of the RAM.

Eventually the higher temperature may affect functionality of the modules that would result in the BSOD.
Have you noticed a temperature higher inside the laptop?

What about fan cleaning?
You can remove the dust from the cooling grids using a jet of compressed air
I think that it s worth a try

    Hello!

    Windows 7 normally contains the necessary drivers and if not, you can take the Windows Vista drivers on the Toshiba site. Most of them also work on Windows 7.

    In addition, on the Toshiba page we you can find some beta drivers for Windows 7. Maybe they work for you.

    I received my upgrade of Windows 7 at Toshiba with the included DVD upgrade. I did everything exactly what is said in the booklet.

    After completing the upgrade process and after turning on the laptop I got the message saying:

    Hello

    I started a thread on the same subject:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=126340

    So for me it sounds like this, you should try to reinstall Windows again. After that, the problem should be solved.

    Search with Google, you can find enough discussion about it. Reinstalling Windows can solve this problem.

  • Satellite U400-22Z - random character of space in addition to the letters types

    Hello!

    On a whole new Satellite U400-22Z by pressing the letters on the keyboard sometimes it types a space character in addition to the letter pressed after the letter. for example, by typing the word "test" it may look like in "you st" or "t" or your "t" (although if the problem appears, it allways inserts space at the same location in a word give, then it would always be "t's" If that Word is typed several times). the problem occurs randomly, sometimes, that the problem does not appear for an entire session or day, sometimes several times after another. the probleam appears in several programs (IE, explorer, firefox, Word, even to the connection of the user to the start!)

    I tried (after talking with toshiba support) and an update - chip and bios does not work remove the problem. even after a complete roll-back to the original state of pre-instaled/factory using the disk HARD recovery has failed. It is very difficult to locate/pinpoint the problem to some show because the problem might appear only a few days and then "strike" again...
    I am running vista home 32 on the laptop, and given that the bug appears when using only the installed software origin I dosent seem to be caused by something other than the original software...

    Any help would be greatly apreciated!
    Tankxs everyone!

  • Satellite U400-18E (PSU44E) - searching for original BIOS file

    My bios crashed. I'm looking for a bios file for Toshiba Satellite U400-18E (PSU44E). Toshiba site offers me only update the bios, but I need the bios file. There is no information what kind of motherboard in my Toshiba. According to the information on the motherboard can I find bios file.

    Hi pkerk,

    Why update the BIOS crashed and why you did an update?

    Anyway, what you can download from Toshiba Web site is the latest version of the BIOS with the update program that is based on Windows. I've never seen other versions of BIOS only and it would be useless because the new version is more stable and corrects the most problems.

    Maybe you can get the original BIOS file to an authorized service so get in touch with the guys.
    Normally they can reflash the ROM module for you because they have professional tools. :)

    Under XP I have problem with installing the drivers. If I try to install driver sound I get info that the media is not found, even with the modem driver. I tried to install the electricity utility of Eve - in the last step of the installation, I get an error, and this error ia´m getting always ia´m try to uninstall this version adding utility / Removo programs.

  • HARD drive protector does not not on Satellite U400 PSU44E Win Vista Ultimate

    I have a Toshiba Satellite U400 PSU44E

    I have install Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, with a clean install.

    I have download the good drivers for protector of HDD on Windows Vista, but an error message appears saying that the program is not compatible with this model.

    Anyone with the same problem has this problem?

    Thank you

    Hello

    I visited the European Toshiba driver page and didn t find the Vista drivers for the U400 PSU44E series.
    Are you sure that you downloaded the good HDD Protection Utility to 100%?

    At the other hand that this error message may appears because the HDD Protection Utility is not fully compatible with the ultimate edition of Vista
    I read in some messages that this might be the reason also.

    Hi all.

    I have download the drivers for windows XP for this laptop Satellite U400-20V PSU44E-05300GAR, but the problem is the wireless don't work and his driver.

    I have download several times because I think to choose the correct driver, but the problem even if I need help

    Thank you all

    Hello

    As far as I know the laptop uses Intel WLan 5100AGN map and audio chip Conexant CX20561.

    The WLan driver can be downloaded here:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

    Audio driver can be downloaded from the page of European driver of Toshiba.

    It is important that you install all service packs of Microsoft and patches before install you the audio driver.
    SP3 must be installed before you try to install the audio driver.
    SP3 contains necessary fixes that are important.

  • Motherboard for Satellite U400-15E work Equium U400-124?

    Hello

    My graphics card died on my U400 - 124 & I said that the motherboard must be replaced.
    I found one for a Toshiba U400-15 and I was wondering if that will enter my chassis.
    It's ok if I have to reformat my hard drive & reinstall windows.

    Here's what he said on that I found.

    A000060020
    Motherboard Toshiba U400 - 15th

    Compatible with A000027670 A000060020 31TE1MB01N0

    I have attached a picture of my model below.

    Any help is really appreciated

    According to the image of the Equium U400-124 belongs to the series of PSU42E

    Satellite U400-15E belongs to the PSU44E, but both series are very similar, and I guess that the motherboard could be compatible... the presentation of the motherboard seems even if from my point of view of a few you should be able to install this card.
