Suspicious stops on my Satellite A100-881

Hi, I bought a new Satellite A100 881 since autumn, and fine...

I play my favorite games (World of warcraft, europa universalis 3) very well... but I lived 3 stops, first in January, last a few minutes ago.

I thought it was overheating, classic behavior: there's only the blue power led, if you try to turn it on again, it takes 1-2 minutes, ok)
But this happens only when I'm with a powered cpu-heavy program.
I thought, maybe when I reached temperature X and I'm still working my Satellite says I'm allright
but when I reached the temperature X and I stay away a fixed number of minutes afk, my Satellite tells me: ' Hey, if you don't use me, I will not stay useless so hot, so I went off as I was overheated.

This is crucial. I never thought about overheating by practicing a game that, at most, will 50% cpu (60% overall system cpu usage). But if it's a feature, well, I'm more relaxed :)

My settings are:
No attached battery, power adapter
Check the power settings: balanced
Turning off the screen: after 5 minutes of inactivity
Disabling the computer: never

Sorry for translating, but my vista is in Italian :)

Thank you for your support!
Marco

It s overheating issue and it happens because the internal temperature reaches a critical level. Computers laptop Toshiba supports this overheating protection. Protection stops the machine automatically to avoid equipment damage.
The temperature rises to a higher level because the CPU and the GPU to run with maximum performance in games

I put t know how old your laptop is, but you should check if the dust and debris don't affect the cooling modules. Usually, the propellers turning at full speed because of the dust.

Try to clean the fans with a jet of compressed air. It s a professional tool and should help get rid you of the dust and debris

Cheers & good luck

    Hey Buddy

    Have a look here:
    Memory for Toshiba Satellite A100-570
    http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=23658&ft=m&St=3

    You can use the DDR2 533 MHz (PC2-4200) 200 - PIN SODIMM bars!

    The pc2-4300 Rams are the same as PC2-4200. It s just a marketing gag PC2-4300 are PC2-4200 modules that can be overclocked by some versions of BIOS PC desktop

    However, you must take the PC2-4200.

  • Satellite A100 - recovery will not be finished and stop error message occurs

    Satellite A100-S2211TD, OS is Windows XP Home Edition of recovery disk,

    I have updated the BIOS to 2.20 and laptop was working fine. The old installation of Windows factory has worked well.
    After a few weeks, I tried to use the recovery disk to remove the noise from the HARD drive.
    The recovery of disk task completed and the computer restarted.
    I got the stop error message
    STOP: 0x0000007B (0xFA335528, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
    I removed the memory that I have entered over the past two years and return the PC in the factory scene.
    However, recovery will not be finished (he worked to restore).

    I am able to boot in dos with a separate boot disk (Dr. back, windows does not start, not even in the safe control mode) and I did chdsk of the disc and disc is fine.

    I've never used before recovery disc, the only thing different is BIOS 2.20 instead of 1.50.
    WEB of TOSHIBA said that if you upgrade the BIOS most 2.00 you can not return to 1. XX

    Thank you

    Hello

    The A100-S2211TD doesn t support the Intel Chipset!
    This laptop was equipped with the ATI graphics card and the graphics driver on the Toshiba page contains us the graphics driver and chipset driver!

    Have you received 100% good recovery CD?

    In your case I would try to install Win XP from the Microsoft CD to check if the same error would appear if no drivers are included in the CD of the OS.

  • Satellite A100-914 - stop after 10 minutes on

    Satellite A100-914 - Vista Home 32-bit edition

    For some time, whenever I turn on the computer it off after 10 minutes. Usually I restarted and then everything was ok, but these days, it seems to stop several times.

    In my screen displays the blue screen saying on: driver_power_state_failure...

    I've updated to Vista, a patch which should solve this problem, but the problem of still images.

    I have also updated the Bios of Toshiba, and then I get a Warner 0251 checksum bad - default configuration used.

    I also have problems with superfetch and search for host when I connect to the internet... but it is perhaps another question...

    Hello

    What to say...

    Regarding the automatically close downs;
    For me, it looks a bit like overheating. Maybe you should check if the temperature is not too high and check if the cooling modules are working properly and it can cool the laptop properly. Sometimes the dust inside the laptop could have a bad influence on cooling.

    Regarding the system BIOS checksum bad - default configuration used:
    Try to access the BIOS and set the default BIOS settings. Then save the changes and restart the laptop.

    Regarding the MS patch:
    I found this Microsoft Knowledgebase document:
    The STOP Error Messages troubleshooting 0x0000009F DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE in Windows
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/246243

    It is said that this problem occurs when drivers do not properly handle power state transition requests.
    The error message most often occurs during one of the following actions:
    -Closing
    -Suspension or out of standby mode
    -Suspension or out of hibernation

    Check solution proposals in the document of Microsoft.
    If this does not help, I guess it's a hardware problem and you will need to contact the ASP in your country.

    Good luck

    Does anyone know why it happened or how I might solve this problem?

    Help, please
    Thank you

    Hello

    Have you checked in the Device Manager if the CD/DVD player display correctly?
    Please check this!

    As a follow-up, I would recommend removing the reader of CD/DVD of the crèche of the device a restarting the laptop.
    The Windows operating system should recognize the new device (ODD) and should load the drivers again.

    Then access the registry and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  • DVD playback stops on Satellite A100

    I have an A100 - model No. PSAAKKC - VA104C - which is loaded with Vista Home Basic and included Intervideo WinDVD for Toshiba B06.108 v8.0.

    When I play DVD they begin OK but after about a minute or two, playback stops and then starts, stops repeatedly. Program information page shows 1 GB of memory even though I've updated to 2 GB.

    Anyone got any ideas?

    Do you have this problem only with WinDVD or other applications like VLC or Media Player too?

    I think you should do an update of WinDVD. I searched on the site of Toshiba Canada but I didn t find updates for WinDVD.
    Search the site European Internet and the search for the Satellite A100. There is an update available and it should also work with your model.

  • Satellite A100-049 stops loading at the Windows loading screen

    Unless I opened fully open/almost completely the cover on my Toshiba Satellite A100-049 it will always freeze on screen Toshiba Logo black (first one you see). She has completed half of the blue progress bar that runs along the bottom of the screen. I need and then turn off the button and once again, it becomes work.

    The laptop is only 2 weeks old nine. It's especially annoying since it prevents a scheduled backup to wake the portable computer from Hibernation. I have to leave it on or leave the lid open permanently.

    Help?

  • Satellite A100-906 Protector Suite QL has stopped working

    Hello

    I have Toshiba Satellite! 100-906 with Windows XP and experience the following problem. Earlier this week, I had a problem of Trojan and virus one of the programs that I used to solve it identified the exe of the protector suite as infected. Right there I can't remember that "protector suite ql ' does 'my safe' and deleted.

    So I don't have access to my safe. I double click on the shortcut and nothing happens.
    I have precious files there and in no way want to lose them.

    What can I do? If I managed to find the exe file somewhere it'll work?

    I appreciate all the help which will lead not to my loss of files in my trunk.

    Thanx

    Hi mate

    Satellite A100-906 belongs to the PSAA9E series.
    You can find the drivers and Protector Suite QL software on the European driver Toshiba page.
    There is a fingerprint software 5.4.0 - listed 2934

    Download and install it.

  • Audio device of the Satellite A100-906 has stopped working

    Hi all..
    the sound on my Satellite A100-906 simply ceased to function in Windows XP.
    I don't have something like installing a program, etc.
    I checked that the drivers are installed correctly but after that I just got it so I installed a new copy of Windows XP and installed the audio driver, BUT it didn't work!
    I don't know what to do with it.
    Please someone help me...

    Why you n check t the European driver of Toshiba page (first link above)

    There are 2 different Realtek audio drivers! Please check them both!

  • Graphics - Satellite A100-313 card problem stops itself

    I have a satellite A100-313 and I use vista.
    Every time when I'm playing games, the laptop turns off after a while. It varies, normally have 10-20 minutes of play.
    And when I immediately turn on again, I get a black screen, but the computer is running. I have to wait a bit to get back to the screen to work.
    So, he goes to the top and goes to 1024 x 764 resolution (the native resolution is 1280).

    I guess it's a problem of graphics card (I have a Geforce Go 7600). I have already updated to the latest vista drivers available on the Toshiba site (the September).

    What can I do to fix this? Automatic shutdown normally only happens when I play games.
    Any help is appreciated.

    HM, delicate sounds.
    I suggest the following:

    Download the latest bios for your machine on the toshiba download site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    And finally and most importantly, check if your cooling system of your machine is not clobbed with dust. You can clean it with a can with compressed air to remove dust from the fan and the heatpipe fin.

    If you have any questions, just ask.

    Have a nice weekend

  • Virtual sound stops working - Satellite A100

    Dear all

    I seem to have a problem with my virtual sound on my Satellite A100. It seems to work intermittently, often it doesn't work anymore and I can't control if it is on or off. If I reboot, it can start working again, but not always. I did a factory restore of the machine that clears the fault, but after a few start-up, it starts to happen again. It doesn't seem to be a reason for the problem.

    Has anyone experienced this problem and managed to work around it?

    Thank you

    Hello

    I put t don't know if this helps but try to update the utility audio virtual ansd the audio driver. To do this, check the Toshiba driver page.

    I put t know if it is interesting for you, but in this forum, I noticed that on some Satellite P100 crackling sounds/noises can be resolved by updating of all of the BIOS (v 2.1 or higher) and the audio driver.
    Need to first update the BIOS

  • Satellite A100-683 with Win 7 - screen brightness adjustment does not work

    Hello

    I have a model of Satellite A100-683 PSAA9E with Win 7

    My problem is that I don't have a brightness in my dashboard-> laptop Center

    I tried to install the drivers from the site Web of Toshiba (additional package, return), but stops the installation always with errors such as: value added package: PVAT Setup error

    I tried to install the drivers for Vista...

    Please help me!
    Sorry for my English mistakes.

    Hello

    The installation may stop due to system problems or the PVAT erroneous version.
    I recommend you to uninstall the installed VAP.
    After the PVAT has been uninstalled, restart the laptop.
    Now, download and install the tool small freeware called CCLeaner.
    It helps to clean the system and deletes files temporal garbage from the HARD drive.
    After the cleaning of the system registry, you must restart the system once more.

    Now, go to the page of the Toshiba UE driver and download the Toshiba value added Package for Win 7. Note! Choose the right! There are differences between the 32-bit and 64-bit version.

    Unzip the package, run the exe from installation or installation file and start the installation.
    Installation should finish properly and after new reboot, you should be able to use the function keys.
