Satellite U500 - clocked at 100%

I am using a Satellite U500 running Windows 7. Recently its been suspended quite often and I found the problem to be the processor clocked at 100%. RAM is not even 50% used when this happens. I opened the Task Manager to find the offending process, and nothing seems to use simultaneously more than 20% of the CPU. A ran an antivirus and malwarebytes and there is nothing to find.

Any suggestions on what this could be and how I could continue on resolving this? Thank you!

Hi Muvinda,

To me that sounds like that run many background programs and therefore 100% CPU usage. So it s not a bug because many programs require a lot of CPU performance.

So please check again the Task Manager. I mean if the CPU runs at 100% use a program in the task manager should cause this and in the Task Manager you can find all programs running in the background.

Also it s recommended using a registry cleaner like CCleaner or similar. It can remove old registry keys and other stuff of old, useless.

Check this box!

  • Satellite U500 - 10L and password protection

    Greetings,

    I have Windows Vista (service pack 2) installed on my laptop Toshiba Satellite U500 - 10L (PSU5EE). Recently, I encountered a serious problem; Password Admin Windows is vulnerable through the Start Menu (hit F12 when you turn on the laptop) machine, I mean anyone with a USB/CD boot can crack the password.

    Now I would restrict access to the Start Menu - or remove the boot by USB/CD options in the Menu. I just installed the updated BIOS (2.5 WIN), but unfortunately the BIOS provides no options to restrict access to or to modify the Start Menu. I find it is a major breach of security, is their anyway to deal with this problem?

    I appreciate your quick response.

    Best regards, John

  • Satellite U500 - no option of Synaptics with Windows 7

    Hi all

    After that I did a clean install of Windows 7 Pro 32 bit on my Satellite U500, I get more options in the control panel of the Synaptics touchpad.
    All I get is a preview menu and the animated demo, but nothing else (no control scroll box, no valve adjustment of the sensitivity or accidental touch function, etc.).

    I used to have a bunch full of controls with preinstalled Vista.
    I uninstalled, downloaded and reinstalled the driver from the Web of Synaptics site several times, without success. Is there a solution for this?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Toshiba pilot European page provides the drivers for Win 7 64 bit.
    I found the driver for the touchpad Win 7 64 bit called Alps Electric v 7.5.303.117

    Try this driver, even if you use 32 bit OS

    on my Satellite U500 - 11 C, the power supply is no longer recognizes (the rest green LED turns off when I plug)

    I tested my diet and it's OK

    I disassemble my laptop to check the connector and the power is OK of the external connector to the connector on the motherboard.

    with my battery, the computer works normally (but the battery is not more)

    You have an idea on how to solve this problem?
    What can I check?

    > Do you have an idea on how to fix this?
    If the battery and the mains adapter are ok, while a single problem can cause this: faulty motherboard.
    Maybe there is something wrong with the electronic power supply on the motherboard.

    Of course this is only my personal opinion, but I put t see any other reason for that

  • Re: Please update by Satellite U500 to Windows 8?

    Please I want Upgrad satellite U500 (PSU8CE) of windows 8 and my PC is powered by the company?

    What is the solution? :(

    As you probably know that Toshiba will not support all models of laptop computers and all the Win8 support info you can find on http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/generic/windows8-message
    Exact list of models supported, that you can find, if you open the Toshiba compatibility matrix.

    You can install the version of Win8 own to see how it works and also try to use some specific Toshiba tools available for new models of portable computers. Right now on this forum we don t have much feedback about Win8 on older models of laptops.

  • 8.1 for Satellite U500 PSU82A Windows drivers

    I have a Satellite U500 (PSU82A-01W00M) - seems to have only been distributed in Ausralia.

    I installed windows 8.1 - Impossible to find 8.1 updates to driver for my model on the toshiba site.
    It offers no updates beyond win7 or Vista for my model.

    No idea if there is an equivalent model, ie download drivers for a model equivalent instead?

    The reason-my keboard acted strange since installing windows 8.1 - slap it by itself, but only when I use windows programs (MS Office) and without identifiable cause. Microsoft suggested to update the keyboard driver

    appreciate the pointers

    You will find not all drivers Win 8.1 for this model because Toshiba does not provide drivers Win 8.1 for this series of laptop. It s simply not supported to win 8.1

    But I m queries on the advice of Microsoft to update the keyboard driver.
    First of all, I must say that this keyboard driver is part of the Windows System. Any Windows system that you use (Win XP, Vista, Win 7, etc.) of the keyboard driver is still part of the system!

    And so for laptop and computer manufacturers don t provide drivers of special keyboard for Windows OS.

    To be honest, I think that this isn't a software/driver problem.
    I recommend you to check the functionality of the external keyboard. If everything was OK with the external keyboard, the problem could be linked to a malfunctioning internal keyboard.

  • Need new keyboard for Satellite U500-1F4

    Hello
    I was visiting my friend in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, it has a Toshiba Satellite U500 - 1F4 Laptop, the subtemplate is PSU9ME-OOCOOXAR

    She bought while working in Dubai, Saudi

    She spilled coffee on the keyboard, and of course, it now does not work correctly.
    I thought that it would be possible to remove and just wash it in hot water, perhaps to dissolve the coffee, but it does not work. There are six or seven key doesn't work is not on the keyboard.
    The rest of the laptop is great, no problem.

    I am now back in the United Kingdom, and I will try to find a keyboard for it. There is a lot on eBay and other places, but whenever I do a search for its model I get nothing.

    The numbers on the back of the keyboard are:-

    MP - 08H56A06528

    09K37200523M

    OKNO - VGIAR0209493000523

    I found various models U500 and U505 keyboards, so one of them would be?

    Thank you
    Geoff

    On eBay you can find so many keyboards. Just find one for U500 and it will fit for sure.
