Tecra A8 - 10F hangs sometimes

I have a problem with my laptop.
Sometimes it suddenly freezes and I can't do anything.
The mouse, the keyboard and screen are frozen.

Sometimes when I watch a video, the screen flashes and if I try to watch a video 720 p the cursor becomes fade after a few minutes.
So I think that there is a problem with my graphics card, but I'd like your opinion.

Because the problem of the situation of freezing does not occur every day, I'm worried with the warranty...

Thank you in advance!

Hmmm. These symptoms occur for different reasons.
Maybe the higher temperature could be one of the reasons why

Have you noticed a higher temperature while this question would seem?
Maybe you should watch this.

The fact is that higher temperatures could affect the GPU and RAM feature that could cause this problem
In most cases, the temperature rises to a higher level because the vents and fans are obstructed. Dust and debris could be the problem.

I recommend to clean the fans and cooling grids using a jet of compressed air.
It s the sense is to get rid of the dust and prevent Notepad from freezing.

See you soon

  • Tecra A8 hangs sometimes

    Hello

    My Tecra A8 freezes, sometimes several times a day, sometimes once a week. The only thing I can do is to shut down the computer with the power button.

    Sometimes it freezes completely, but the network connection drops and the mouse does work only intermittently. I have also noticed once when I plugged the USB mouse, LAN does not work anymore, and when I disconnected the mouse, LAN began to work again.

    I think that the gel is also linked to some kind of conflict between the mouse and LAN, but Device Manager shows not all conflicts.

    I'd appreciate any help. I'm on WIN XP Professional with SP2. Thank you in advance!

    Hello

    Can I ask you if you use the Toshiba pre-installed factory image?
    This image of Windows has been tested and verified several times and it should work without any problems!

    For me, it looks like a software conflict.
    So, if would be very interesting to know if this strange behavior would happen after installing fresh OS from CD recovery of Tosh!

  • Tecra R950 - 16L - display sometimes dark rest under tension

    Hello

    I have a Tecra R950 - 16L for about 3 months now, everything works fine. Since a few days, I now the problem that sometimes, especially after I transported the laptop before, the internal screen is black after that I turn on the laptop.

    Blindly, I can type my password and see the disk activity that windows probably begins, but none is displayed.

    After I move the laptop and shake a little sometimes it works again and the computer remains work until I move the laptop again (at least this is what seems to make the effect occur).

    Seems to me like a connector loose on the screen or something like that?

    Is it possible to fix this on my own?
    I need my cell phone all the time and do not want to send it for repair if it is not not 100% necessary.

    What do you suggest me?

    > Seems to me like a connector loose on the screen or something like that?

    Yes, it seems that there is a bad connection or maybe something wrong with the sensor cover.

    > Is it possible to fix this on my own?
    I don t think so.
    You would need to check what's wrong exactly. Once this has been verified, you would need to disassemble the laptop and it's not easy. Finally and above all you need compatible parts to replace the affected hardware I put t would think that you can do

    > I should I my laptop all the time and do not want to send it for repair if it is not not 100% necessary.
    Well, you could ask the Toshiba authorized service provider for details and how long such repair would take.

  • Tecra M5: Applications hang with 50 percentage usage of CPU

    I recently got a Tecra M5, which is great, except that now and still process hang your 50 cpu percentage.

    I installed the update for the fingerprint reader and begins to suspect that it is a problem with the NVIDIA graphics driver.

    When the process crashes, if I look at the processes by using process Explorer (sysinternals), I see an event of low memory being connected. The laptop has 2 GB of memory and is used only for ~ 1 GB.

    What can be done to find what is the cause of this deadlock?

    mayb a virus? or mayb your virus checker...

    What virus checker do you use?

    Once 1 turn off the HDD, its become ok protection.

    Hello

    The history seems a bit strange and mysterious.

    First of all it s very strange that the laptop crashes without reason and that the protection of HARD drive tool reports errors.

    According to these two questions, I assume that your disk is not ok and it possible s it fails.

    In such cases and HDD replacement is desirable to check if it helps to solve both of these annoying problems.

    Hello Walids

    I have to be honest to you; your troubleshooting is very impressive, but you forgot to check the HARD disk. It is possible that the HARD disk do a few worries. If possible try to test the HARD drive with a tool, and see if there may be some bad sector or something.

    I had similar problem on my old Satellite. The laptop was slower and slower. I also noticed a little strange to his HARD drive.

    Just try to test the HARD drive. If everything is ok, I guess that you need professional help on this.

    Good luck and let us know if find you the solution.

  • Tecra S10 - 10F - need Server 2003 or 2008 LAN driver

    I'm looking for a driver lan for Toshiba S10 - 10F for Windows Server 2003 or 2008.
    Or at least, I would like to know the model of network card.

    Thank you

    Toshiba doesn't support an OS Server on laptops, so you will not find such a driver on the Toshiba site.

    You can try to search for a driver on the site of the factory. As far as I know that the Tecra S10 has a Intel LAN card while you should search on the Intel site [www.intel.com]

    In addition, you can try to use the XP Server 2003 driver and driver Vista for Server 2008. The two you can find on the Toshiba site:

  • Problem with update of Protection of the disk on Tecra A8 - 10F

    I have a problem that the Toshiba HDD Protection Utility does not work and I do not know why.
    {I tried this driver and I've not found for Tecra A8 PTA83E 10F but I found for Tecra M9 (PTM91) Windows Vista HDD Protection 2.0.1.7 Utility) updated the site {(ptm91)-hdd-protection-utility-2.0.1.7-windows-vista-free-download.html http://www.opendrivers.com/driver/239805/toshiba-tecra-m9}
    I installed it in my laptop but the problem is that this utility does not protect to shock the laptop, I put all settings by default, and do not protect not always.
    Perhaps because the driver for Toshiba Tecra M9?
    So please can someone give me this Toshiba HDD Protection Utility software?

    You can send me to my email: [email protected] or give me the site address :)

    Note: I've searched this site on this driver it and I can't find :(

    Hello

    In my opinion the disk utility HARD does not work on your Tecra A8 because the software was not designed for the A8 but for M9.

    The European driver Toshiba page does not provide the HDD Protection Utility for Vista.
    But I found one for the Tecra A9.
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU

    Look for the utility of the disk protection HARD Tecra A9 on the A8. Maybe it will work

  • Tecra M1 will not sometimes initialize upward

    It's strange, sometimes it starts correctly, but others, I won't start at all. No matter if I'm only on AC, battery, or kiosk, the power of will led light, but nothing happens and I can't hear the typical sound of the hard drive running.

    Apart from restarting the laptop that I detected with the system on if I hit the flat areas on the sides of the touch screen and display objects.

    Sounds to me like hardware issue something as problem of motherboard power supply maybe electronic fault of power or graphics card problem. I m thinking the GPU issue due to the artifacts that occur on the screen.

    What do you think of this?

  • Need help with two questions about preinstalled WXP Tecra A11 - 10F

    Hello world
    hope someone will help me with these:

    1. sometimes left port my A11 USB and eSATA port close do not recognize any device I plug.
    In win7 there is a power management option with which this can prevent to met, but how can I do under XP?

    2 - is there a way I can put a fixed amount of RAM on the graphics accelerator? (The two o/s)

    Thank you in advance.

    Alessandro

    Hi Alessandro,.

    1. as far as I know that this option is not available on Windows XP. Vista and Windows 7 provide several obsolete as XP power management features. All you can do is to install Toshiba Power Saver if it s not installed. Here, you can set power saving for the processor, cooling fan, etc., but USB is not available.
    In your case, I'll try an update of the chipset driver.

    2. No, fixed the amount of RAM can t graphics card game. This will be controlled automatically.

  • Tecra A4 - white screen sometimes after standby

    Sometimes after a suspend, the laptop restarts with a white screen. Nothing but it does not work if you know what I mean. For example, I can press FN + F1 (the screen turn off the button) and the laptop will play the melody indicating that the action happened, even if I'm not. And no, Lighten/Darken screen buttons have no effect. The screen is just nearby.

    If I hold the start button to turn the power off, then press to restart everything starts as usual.

    Someone knows why this happens sometimes?

  • Tecra M10 - 10F and 8 GB of RAM

    Hello NG,.

    Today, I bought a Toshiba Tecra M10-10th with RAM 2 x 4 GB modules. When I enter the BIOS - it shows 8 GB of RAM. I installed Windows Server 2008 Enterprise 64-bit and after installation of the tab system properties shows 8 GB of RAM, but the Task Manager and all other parameters (for example the pagefile is also only 4 GB in size) said I have only 4 GB of RAM.
    I installed all the drivers and actual patches from the homepage Toshiba - Device Manager displays a device as it is not installed or is unknown.

    What's wrong? Something else has the same experience? Opportunities to work with 8 GB of RAM on Windows Server 2008 64 bit?

    Thanks in advance

    Regards Marc Grote

    Hello

    AFAIK Vista 64bits acknowledged the full RAM after the installation of SP1.
    I put t know how it works on Windows Server 2008, but perhaps you will need also this MS.

    By the way; Maybe the Manager of tasks no indication that the value of RAM that is used and not the total RAM that is inserted

    However try to install a tool like Everest Home edition of analysis of material and check if what RAM value has been reported.
