Toshiba SA40-702... Strange shutdown problems

This machine turns off after a short period of time all running against the cold. As the temperature rises it will fit more quickly. None of the indicators Flash to suggest an overheating problem. I checked the fan and the heat exchanger of heat for dust or debris and they are clean as a whistle. Sometimes, it will be turned off and immediately begin to start up again, while other times, as the display goes out and there is no hard disk activity. Someone at - it clues please?

Hi Ian,

Having excluded from overheating as a possible cause, it could be that the thermal sensor has gone faulty causing the unit to lose power at random.

I don't know any virus that causes this kind of effect. Sasser issues a warning message that a reboot is imminent and it is fairly predictable in its frequency. It is always worth to check for any viruses though.

  • Satellite L850-E8S - shutdown problems

    Hello everyone

    I bought Toshiba Satellite L850-E8S with Windows 8.0 (for a single language) preinstalled in October 2013. At the moment I can't get stop normally.

    Question: * pressing Shutdown (stop) of charms goes up "Windows is shutting down" and after that the screen turns off but power light is lit and the fan keeps operate.* I stop it by pressing the power button, I really want to quit smoking. (Once I didn't notice that and put the laptop in a bag for a few hours and it of a miracle that no equipment would have been burnt, despite the laptop was hot like the Sun) * the problem started after a month of use, and I didn't think her yet.*

    First of all, I thought that the case concerns him * hybrid Shutdown in the Win8. I have visited many forums dedicated for hybrid stop, proven fruitless discussions. *! AND! I had the same problem on my laptop with a slight difference - loading Win7 and Linux * the monitor stays on (with the lights and the fan on either). *
    Moreover, I also saw a BSOD after a day I bought the laptop. This problem concerned Realtek Audio driver and SRS Premium sound. As I understood the question is drivers conflict. Right now I have no installed Audio SRS premium and see no BSOD, but Realtek audio driver is not stable: the sound either begins to work in a few minutes after starting windows or it does'nt work at all.

    First of all, I wish really that someone to help me with the shutdown problem. All tips are welcome.

  • SA40-702. Does not start, missing file...

    Hello
    I have a series SA40-702 Satellite. I had the laptop for about 18 months and until recently had no problems with it.
    While on the Internet one day, the laptop has decided to lock up & then close on me, I'm sure that, it displays a message on the execution of a physical memory dump, anyway it closes I started in safemode, performed an analysis of drive & off frag & all appeared to be well again for about a week. He then decided to do it again, but this time he wont even go into safe mode. It displays a message - Impossible start because the following file is missing or corrupt " \Windows\System\vgaoem.fon ."
    I really don't want to have to do a full recovery on this because I have a lot of important information about the hard drive I need.

    Can someone tell me if its possible to load this file back to laptop...?

    Thanks in advance, & apologies if it's a bit lengthy...

  • SA40-702 satellite: startup messages

    Hello

    Until recently, I experienced no problem with my satellite SA40-702. However, while starting I started getting the following messages, which appear before the Windows XP best wishes...

    PXE - E61
    Media Test Failure - Check the cable of

    PXE - M0F
    Exit Intel Boot Agent

    While no obvious problems occur while using the machine, its obvious that these messages should not be appearing. Someone had no previous experience of these message?

    Any help/advice gratefully received.

    Concerning

    Peter.

    Hi Peter,.

    The PXE - E61 message ususally indicates the laptop tries to start from a LAN attached rather than the hard drive or the CD source.

    First check the boot order in the BIOS (press and hold F12 for the market) and make sure that your boot order has your hard drive as first or second device in the list before the connection to the local network.

    If it is already defined in this way, then it is likely that your hard drive is corrupt because the system can't find the boot sector (or can't read).

    I presume that you can boot from the CD (since you say that you tried to reinstall XP. Did you use the recovery discs for your laptop or a Microsoft XP disk?

    Kind regards

  • Strange keyboard problem - Portege A100

    I have a Portege A100 some three years now.
    There is a problem with the keyboard, only the keys 5tgb - a diagonal line.
    As soon as the PC is often placed on these keys don't work at all. After a while, if I press hard, especially if I turn on caps lock shift, the key to start work and then more or less work. Sometimes turning the PC and trie still the problem using shift often makes it worse. Sometimes the keys work, but only with a delay. No other keys are affected.
    I am confused as to if it's a hardware problem (are these keys connected even if a single connector?) or a strange software problem, perhaps related to the traditional Chinese microsoft input method editor that I recently downloaded.

    Any help or advice would be welcome.

    Alan Watson

    Hello

    The keys are connected on the map as the rest of the keyboard keys.
    There are not connected separately. To me, it looks like a hardware would be malfunctions.
    Why? Well, it's not easy to say. Sometimes loses keyboard cable affects the use of the keyboard. But maybe the entire keyboard needs to be replaced.

    We must consider this possibility I think you should contact the ASP in your country. If the warranty is valid replacement should be done for free.

  • NB200z shutdown problems

    I am running XP service pack 3 with the NB200-z. This anomaly is intermittent, so it happens _most_ of the time, but not always (it does not seem to the use of a particular program in an obvious way).

    During the shutdown to the bottom/hibernation or switch mode Eve anyway (closing the lid, pressing the power button / stop or start menu) it will close Explorer and all running programs and make it appear a window saying "prepare to stop" (or never, what state he's going in) and it just stays there. The mouse moves, so it did not freeze completely. By pressing ctrl, alt, del fails to bring up the Task Manager, so I don't see what is going on. At this point, my only option seems to be down the power button until the machine turns off.

    Sometimes it will go beyond this point and the window disappears but it crashes and then completely on a blue background Uni where the same mouse cursor will not move. At this stage even once, I have to hold the power button until it turns off.

    There are times where it will happen normally tap down and all the other computer functions seem to work very well?

    I have looked around online to see if anyone else has this problem too, but have found no solution. Microsoft offers online that I disable the drivers one by one and keep close to see if it is a driver but I know it is damaging my HARD drive every time I turn off manually so I do not know what to do. I stopped him fine mode safe but it sometimes will vanish so fine...

    I thought it's maybe someone knows of a recorder of closure that I can use to debug with? If I had a newspaper what file it broke so I could replace or remove the file?

    Thanks a lot for your help :)

    Usually bad drivers or badly written apps cause a shutdown problem.

    You have installed all the drivers recently? For example, a USB device or a printer?

  • strange charging problem

    I have a laptop DV7-3065DX that I got last Christmas and he has recently developed a strange charging problem.  The other day and all of a sudden that it stopped charging, so I left FS2004 and within 5 to 10 minutes, I was playing FS2004, it began to charge again.  I think it may be an overheating problem.  It is not a problem of power adapter, I tried to use my mother G60 adapter and still had the same problem during execution of FS2004.

    The problem has become so bad that it would not load when activated, I called HP and I sent it back to get fixed.  I came home today, and it works fine now.  They have repaired or replaced my mobo, the thermal pad, battery and ac adapter.  I paid only for shipping to the France and I am happy to use again.

  • Strange mouse problem

    I have a new laptop HP 8440 and I'm having a very strange mouse problem.  The point of the mouse on the screen from time to time will crawl slowly towards the top of the screen.  This occurs when you use the Touchpad mouse or when you use a USB optical mouse.  The mouse buttons remain active and navigation mouse continues to function (so I can pull the mouse down of his craawl), but he continued to creep upward.

    This does not happen all the time and 'fixed' after 5 minutes of me being frustrated.  I don't think this is driver-related, but my mouse driver is 5.1.2600.0

    Any ideas?

    Hi Pappytopp,

    1. run the troubleshooter from the link below: hardware devices do not work or are not detected in Windows:http://support.microsoft.com/gp/hardware_device_problems

    2. also try to disable the touchpad then use the optical mouse and check the results.

  • Strange screen with acer Liquid Z220 shutdown problem

    This has happened with my new phone smart acer Liquid Z220.

    Turning on the acer screen "android-powered" rises.

    The three logo (my provider).

    But then the screen turns white.

    However, the phone doesn't work and responds to the touch (without seeing me anything).

    Strangely, if I unlock directly to the camera, the screen lights up. But as soon as I leave the camera shuts off again!

    Can someone explain/solve this problem?

    Here's what I did with the phone since buying it two days ago.

    1. charge it

    2 installed a few applications (whatsapp and managers of certain permissions, firefox)

    3. covered internet

    4. battery to ~ 10%

    5 display off

    6 put in charge

    7 see above the description of the behavior.

    Please help if you can?

    Managed on the basis of work this point - the phone has like "Adaptive brightness" which did not work properly.

    Low levels of light, the screen would be white. In bright light, it would work. The software seems to be dimming to dark conditions, but it translated as a blank screen on the material.

    I solved this by going to settings-> display and turn off Adaptive brightness.

  • Satellite Pro U200: BSOD error and sudden shutdown problem

    I have been using Satellite Pro U 200 since July this year.
    I had a strange problem. The problem began in mid-October where my laptop appears a blue windows error screen and restart. When the system will re-start the screen would flicker start and the operating system would not initialize correctly.

    It would give all sorts of error messages. Even if I tried to install a new operating system at this time where he would give error with the disc saying some file is corrupted. If you leave the phone turned off, it would again work normally.
    The disc would normally work on other portable computers desktop computers.

    I sent it for repair and they changed the hard drive. But the problem has returned to a degree less after a week.
    He sent again and this time they changed the motherboard.
    But the problem is now back with the blue screen stop.

    It's a Toshiba U 200 1.66 GHz memory gigabyte hard drive.
    I bought the Canada and use it in England, there is therefore a Canadian power cable.
    I am using Windows XP Pro with Service Pack 2

    Any help will be appreciated!

    Is it possible that some application you use is responsible for this? If there is an error on the corrupted file, I'm a bit skeptical about a malfunction of the equipment.

    You did some hardware upgrades?
