• Screen stops working while playing games

  I have a HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook, windows 7 64 bit operating system.

  I got 2 years in July.  In recent weeks while playing games the screen stops working.  You can hear the game still in progress but nothing on the screen.  I then have to turn off then to let some time before reboting.

  I played the game for over a year, so it's not the game that is the problem.  It becomes warm, but I have always used a pc fan sub to help keep cool.

  I just tried the HP tool to automatically search for updates, but it had not recommended.

  Is it a hardware problem or software?  What can I do to stop what is happening?

  I bought an extended warranty, but I need if I can fix it or whether it should go to a technician (if nothing is physically wrong, they'll charge me).

• Black screen while playing games on Satellite A300/500 psag4a

  Hi all!

  Before that I send my laptop for repairs (it s only 6 months old) I need to see if I am not mistaken.

  It s a model of Satellite A300/500 PSAG4A

  The problem is that when I play any graphics intensive games the laptop screen goes black and locks. Only a boot cold will get it back.
  Any other time he s not ok no problem, the problem only started 5 days ago, it has the latest drivers and BIOS.

  Once, he went to a blue screen with hardware failure but was quick to get a good overview of what didn't.

  This sounds like a defective video card?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello!

  The laptop gets hot?

  What blue screen you get exactly? This could also be a software problem.

  Here you can check if you have really the latest driver and BIOS:

  Have you tried reinstalling the laptop? Maybe it works after that.

• Re: Satellite L350 - screen goes black when I try to play

  I have a laptop Toshiba L350 Sat. Its currently running on Windows Vista. Caused by a virus, I recently had to reinstall Windows. The laptop is now free from virus.

  My problem is that when I try to play some games that I have the screen goes black and I have to do a forced restart using the power button. There are no other noise running in the background, and Ctrl alt del does not work either.

  Is or has anyone else suffered from this problem and if so how they remedy? I'll try to re-installthe drivers when I get home this morning, but I can't think of anything that could be the cause of the problem...

  Any help would be appreciated

  Hello

  Which disc you used to reinstall Windows?

  Normally, if you use the all Toshiba Recovery disk should work fine after that. These parameters are pre-tested by Toshiba.

  In addition, you can try to clean your laptop using a jet of compressed air. This could blow the dust of fans cooling and, therefore, it of not necessary to disassemble the laptop.

  3. Once installed, restart your computer and try to run the game

• Qosmio X 300 - 14V - accidents while playing games

  Hello! I have some problems with my Toshiba Qosmio X 300 to 14V. While I play games installed on the computer "crushes". The screen goes black and the speakers start droning.
  I noticed that if I reinstall windows, driverers and directX it won't happen for a while. I should also mention that this does not happen with ALL games. He especially happenst to games that require more performance of the computer. games like Just Cause 2, Neef For Speed Hot Pursuit, Fallout New Vegas. In one case, he joined a pretty old game, shadows on the surviving ground.

  If anyone can find all reasonable explanation please help me. Thanks in advance.

  P.S. There are about 4-5 months my HARD drive crashed, so I bought a new one and installed win 7. At that time, I was working with win Vista Edition home premium x 32 with drivers that were included in the recovery package. Before the new HARD drive, I had no problem with the computer. Apart from some overwhelming sometimes because of ovearheating because the ventilation channels were filled with dust.

  Hi donrumata_1,

  Maybe the laptop goes down cause overheating? Have you ever tried to clean up your laptop with a jet of compressed air?

  This can blow the dust from the cooling fans and only takes a few minutes. In addition it s not necessary to disassemble the laptop so it s very easy and not complicated.
  => [How to clean a Toshiba laptop cooling system | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD7A01ZZ000AR01.htm]

  From my own experience I can say s very useful and I do every 3 months. If the laptop is much cooler and quieter because the fan doesn't run so often more.
