Screen keeps freezing on Satellite P300D

Hello everyone,

One of my friends has a Toshiba Satellite P300D - 15 c and its screen keeps freezing (stripes, colors).

It happens randomly and he told me that the laptop is pretty hot.

Known problems with this? Memory failure? Out of the video card?

Yours,

Hello

> he told me that the laptop is pretty hot.
No doubt, in this case due to a higher internal temperature
Your friend is already cleaned the laptop?

There is an interesting article in the forum on the Toshiba laptops cooling system cleaning:

    Hello Kluggerjo,

    Thank you for reaching out to the Community Support from Apple. I know how important it must be able to count on your devices work as expected, and I have a few steps that should help resolve the behaviors you see.

    I would recommend to go by resetting your management system (SCM) controller. MSC helps control and regulate different material on your Mac, including Bluetooth systems.  This article will guide you in this process: reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac.

    If you still experience the issue after the test, you can test the behavior to a test user. This will help us to determine if the problem is systemic or isolated to your user account. This article will guide you in this process: How to test a question in another account on your Mac user

    If the behavior is duplicated to the test user, I'd recommend reinstalling El Capitan. This will not delete your data. To reinstall using the recovery mode, take a look at this article: How to reinstall OS X

    Ensure that your data is backed up / copied to external media. It seems that your PC has a hardware problem. If it's a name brand PC, for example Dell / HP etc it may have preinstalled utility test read the manual or manufacturer's web site

    If it's a generic PC, then your machine to HD will have a free test bootable utility, for example SeaTools from Seagate

  • Satellite L350D-201 - screen keeps freezing sometimes

    Hello

    I was wondering if someone could help, Ive had my laptop Toshiba L350D-201, a little less than 7 months and recently the screen just freezes.

    Judgment of the mouse and the keyboard is not the answer to all commands such as Ctrl/alt/del and the only way to restart it is to turn it off by the main button.
    It can happen twice within 10 minutes or not arrive for a few hours.

    I was wondering if someone could help as Ive had no problems with it at all for now

    Thank you

    Hi mate

    Have you noticed a higher temperature while the laptop freezes?

    From my own experience, a higher temperature may affect the functionality of the laptop and can lead to portable gel.
    Also a RAM could be affected by the higher temperature.

    You can clean the cooling modules using compressed air spray it maybe helps
    .
    Of course, the problem might be related to a software problem display maybe driver malfunctions. In such cases, it s advisable to reinstall the operating system and update the display driver.

  • Satellite L300-1DI screen keeps freezing

    This isn't the first problem iv met before with this laptop and in each case, I had to restore to factory, removing everything. The problem I have now is that the screen of the laptop freezes after about ten-fifteen minutes from start-up. If im watching a video, the sound will still play, but not the image.
    Anyone know what the underlying problem and if there is a way to overcome this problem?
    Thank you

    Hi Matt

    It is not easy to say why this is happening. Maybe you should explain the problem with more details.
    What kind of videos you're watching (DVD, avi, mpg movies)?
    Which player do you use?
    This happens on the same format of video?

    Have you tested on different actors?
    What did you do to find out why this happens?

  • New macbook air keeps freezing?

    I got this new macbook for almost 3 weeks now, but I'm starting to worry about how it keeps freezing: it first happened a few days ago and still today.

    I had a lot of windows open whenever (music, videos paused, some research, some word documents) - most of them is necessary. What is the reason for which the screen keeps freezing? However, I don't expect the new system to be crashing so easily.

    It is better to contact Apple to the title of the one year warranty is?

    The macbook air is 8 GB of RAM, 256 SSD flash drive.

    You have one year warranty including free telephone support for 90 days. I suggest that you use. You can make an appointment at the Apple Store - Genius Bar store and bring it into service. You can also search an Apple Store - find a store - Apple.

  • iPhone 6 keeps freezing after patch 9.3.1

    iPhone 6 more, 128 GB

    iOS 9.3.1 (13E238)

    Firmware 4.71.00

    My iPhone screen keeps freezing from time to time since the last update of the 9.3.1. The gels were occasionally at first, but are more common. It freezes randomly on:

    1. Home screen
    2. on an application
    3. and when a keyboard is also called.

    A possible model before the gel is the use of an application that requires some entries, like typing with the keyboard or the drop down menu, especially the Safari and Mail.

    I think that the problem actually began with the 9.3 release, but much less often to not notice as if it was a problem.

    Restart the phone didn't help.

    Also frequently freezes him the phone feels also very slow, very slow when you drag through the homescreen in particular.

    No new apps not installed since the 9.3 update. The phone has 17 GB free.

    The phone was purchased new for over a year, so I'm not sure if this problem would be covered by the service to Apple too.

    Help, please! Anyone who attends the same questions?

    You see a flickering line at the top?

    So when I turn it back on, it asks me to start in safe mode, I say yes, but the same thing happens.

    Sometimes it starts and you can go in outlook and check a few emails and I think it works fine, then it stops and says not responding do not. Then I go to Explorer and the same thing happens.
    I have try the Task Manager, but it will not come to the top.

    So I have to stop again. It's very frustrating.
    I have installed Norton and nothing comes to say there's a virus problem.
    I have no error message, it stops just to work.

  • Satellite 1100: Excel keeps freezing - too low virtual memory

    I have a satellite 1100. My Microsort Excel program keeps freezing (mainly when I print or you are trying to save) and then tells me to stop.

    So, I also have a message icon telling me that I am low on virtual memory. Microsoft stop related to memory being low?

    How can I increase the memory? Or do I just need a new laptop! Help, please.

    Hello

    Satellite 1100 is really an old classic, but he should be able to use common desktop applications such as Word or Excel with no problems
    Virtual memory also known under the name a paging file is a file on your disk (default C:\pagefile.sys) than Windows applications and use more physical memory (RAM) according to your needs. The default and the recommended of pagefile.sys size is 1.5 times the amount of physical memory. Virtual memory is the amount of physical memory and the pagefile. So, if your computer has 512 MB of RAM, there is a page file 768 MB by default, for a total of 1.25 GB of physical + virtual memory.

    So what to do in your case? Generally, the RAM upgrade should solve this problem. You can also try to increase the size of the pagefile.sys.
    This can be done in system-> tab advanced properties-> Performance settings-> advanced-> virtual memory change tab.

    After the change of virtual memory, you have to restart the laptop again.
    If this will not help then an upgrade of RAM would be required or a new laptop effective ;)

  • Satellite L450D keeps freezing randomly

    Hello

    I recently bought a L450D refurbished: Win 7 64 bit, 4 GB ram, 2.1 Ghz AMD dual core, it works much faster than my Toshiba 1 year anyway.

    The problem is, it keeps freezing randomly. When this happens the screen looks like the picture in the link, mouse and keyboard are completely insensitive, but I left it and the battery is flat it beep?

    So far I've only updated windows, it is the partition of Toshiba hard disk but f8 during the startup does not seem to do anything and when I tried to write the recovery disc it burned but said unable to end of file during the verification step.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated,

    Hello

    Mobile on the photo looks like a problem with a graphics chip.

    Maybe the laptop freezes because of the high temperature of the GPU. What do you think that?

    Have you noticed a higher temperature?

    If Yes, try to clean the cooling fans using a jet of compressed air you should also try an update of the display.
