• Blue screen more often (Satellite A50-111)

  Hello. My laptop (satellite A50-111) stops with a blue screen. Sometimes when that I start the computer, sometimes, when I'm trying to play a video file, sometimes... I can't understand why... The error messages are inconsistent. They are different all the time (for example: SPECIAL_POOL_DETECTED_MEMORY_CORRUPTION or PFN_LIST_CORRUPT or PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGE_AREA or something with IRQ LESS THAN EQUAL etc.).

  I suspect that the problem is the graphics card or RAM memory. It is because the file ialmdnt5.dll and ialmdev5.dll were mentioned in the error screens).

  I ran a test of memory from a CD bootable (memtest-86) and everything seems to be fine with the memory. However, the memory is not the original one. I did a brief day when I bought the laptop (the memory is TMC - 2 x 512 MB)

  Any ideas what the problem might be. The problem is that I have these blue screens more often (I've had them several times before but now I have at least one per day)

  Any ideas/suggestions?

  Thank you.

  More info: I ran the test memory Microsoft (in addition to above mentioned Memtest-86). Is it possible to have the RAM ok, but everything just does not work WITH my Toshiba laptop? In other words, is something special on the modules of memory supplied with the laptop (which I have not because I have improved the memory immediately when I bought the laptop). Thank you.

  Another relevant info: I used the program "auditor" and this explains why I've been blue screens more often. I turn off, but I have still a few blue screens (not as often as before). The newest one: «...» "Stop 0x0000008E... win32k.sys..." "However, I rarely have the same error message

• BIOS password? (Satellite A50-111)

  Hello. I have a Satellite a50-111 with the bios to version 1.30. Everything works fine. I put a password (which I think is a BIOS password) Toshiba HWSetup and indeed, when I turn on the laptop, I wonder a password until the system starts.

  However, I tried to get into the BIOS (at Esc) and I managed to get in without having to type the password. But I thought that the whole point of this password is to protect the BIOS! I don't understand what the purpose of this password? Any ideas? Thank you.

  EDIT: Later, I realized that I can start the computer without the password only when I use the reboot. It works as it should when I stop/restart the laptop.
  I guess that I partially answered my own question... well that is not clear to me what happens in the following cases: the laptop is off; someone puts is a bootable CD with another operating system (such as Knoppix) and restart the laptop (not arrested...) without the need to use the BIOS pwd. Is it still possible?

  Hello

  you need to differ between the two paswords!

  There are the user and supervisor pw that are different.
  The IPL user protects the system to enter the operating system without pwto. Pw supervisor protects the BIOS!

  Normally the pw is requested after each new startup, restart too!

• Satellite A50-111 - HARD drive upgrade

  Hello!

  I need to upgrade hard drive of my laptop because it is very slow. However, I know it's a 60 GB to factory-installed 4200 RPM.
  I'm ready to be upgraded to a fast 7200 RPM, if possible, with a decent capacity, but I'm not sure of the supported hard drive type (IDE?, 2.5?) is a model of 5 years. In my view, there are incompatibilities with the laptops today, hard drive formats, so I really need help.
  Thank you very much for your help!

  These are the specs on the site
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/JSP/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=EU&com.broadvis ion.session.new = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 97598

  Hey Buddy,

  In my opinion the HARD drive upgrade will not increase performance well then you should try the other options first as reinstalling Windows, or upgrade the RAM.

  Anyway, Satellite A50 use IDE interface, so you can use hard disks of 120 GB of disk space.
  Of course, you can take a model at 7200 RPM, but they need more energy and produce more noise.
  I recommend a 120 GB 5400 RPM model. That s pretty fast!

  He wanted the last windows (I use Linux), why not.

  So currently we are facing a problem with this laptop!

  After a few minutes installation the touchpad disappeared.

  Tried:
  Went in the preferences of the system of Windows 8
  Went to the peripheral screens & drivers, selected the touchpad drivers,
  Choose the decommissioning of pilots (went to a... version of 2006)
  Decided to update the drivers (was a version of xx/xx/2012)
  Touchpad and then re - worked.

  Next reboot after a few Windows live updated 8:
  Touchpad does not.

  Could you if you please correct this?

  Installed software:
  -Google Chrome
  -Mozilla Firefox
  -Mozilla Thunderbird
  -Gimp 2.8
  -Inkscape
  -3.6 LibreOffice

  Everything works well except the Touchpad

  Thank you for your care fix it.

• Problems of micro satellite A50

  I got a Satellite A50. I had a problem with my microphone function because there is no possibility to select the microphone volume control icon. Can I get a driver to support for Sigmatel C-Major Soundcard?

  If I click on save, it has a sound after u play, but when you talk about something you can't hear it. In fact, the computer has detected the sound but the volume control does not block the microphone that is the reason why he can not send to the speaker output.

  Thank you for helping me.

• Satellite P300-1 year - Touchpad problem with AC adapter / CC

  I have a laptop Satellite P300-1 year and from the beginning (two weeks)
  I have a touchpad problem: it will not immediately responsive and the pointer shakes when pressing the key. Very often, it freezes for only one or two seconds.

  It's VERY annoying. A USB mouse works perfectly.
  I tried to reinstall the drivers of the ALPS, tried Synaptics ones, just try Windows Vista drivers: no way.

  Now, I found the reason: this question is present only when the laptop is powered by the AC adapter / CC.
  With the battery, the touchpad is perfect.

  I contacted Toshiba Service and thay said that they do not change the AC adapter if I don't mean before a full system restore!
  Is it not more simple just try with a new adapter and then only, if the problem persists, try more drastic procedures?

  Anyone had this same problem?

  > I contacted Toshiba Service and thay said that they do not change the AC adapter if I don't mean before a full system restore! Is it not more simple just try with a new adapter and then only, if the problem persists, try more drastic procedures?

  The point is that your laptop should be always verified using the Toshiba factory setting.
  Why? Because the ASP wants to make sure that this issue is not related to a software problem (compatibility problems with applications 3rd part). Software problems are not covered by the warranty.

  In addition the ASP will always recover the laptop before the verification of the pieces of equipment to malfunction. Therefore, you should always back up your data from the HARD disk until you send the laptop to check.

  I recommend you to reinstall the operating system using the Toshiba recover disc and then check if the problem appears.
  If yes you can contact ASP and could provide all the necessary details for only one technician.

  Good bye

• Satellite A50-522 Powermanagement problem

  Hello

  I am an owner of the Satellite A50 - 522 Centrino. A few days ago I reinstalled my laptop with an original Windows XP Professional, I do not use recovery CD. After that, I reinstalled all the drivers 'tools and Utilities CD-ROM.

  Now, I have a problems with power management. When I put portable mij on MS (= battery) the speed of the CPU must get variable, which is work Centrino. If you do nothing, CPU speed must go down (around 800 Mhz), when you need the speed of the CPU (e.g. photoediting) the speed of the CPU must mount (1.5 ghz). But now, the speed of the CPU is continuous high (1.5 ghz, my battery is now empty without delay. The Toshiba Power Saver has the right setting. A reinstall of the drivers-chipset is not the solution, I tried.

  Yesterday, I reinstalled my laptop once again, but now with the product recovery CD. Power management works very well. But I don't want to use the restore with Windows XP Edition family CD, I want to install my Windows XP Professional original with the right powersettings.

  What is the problem?

  Hello

  You will need to install the Toshiba Power Saver utility. It can be obtained from the following web page:

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  Your message is not clear
  You said that the laptop has been formatted Ok have you installed all the drivers from Toshiba?

  You must use the European driver of Toshiba page to download driver.
  The laptop seems to belong to the PSU30E. You should choose exactly this model in the form of download number.

  But these drivers are only required if you have installed a clean Windows operating system.
  If you use the Toshiba Recovery CD/DVDs you n t need the drivers because the image already contains the Toshiba drivers.

  Hello

  Well, as far as I know this device was shipped with a USB 2.0 and it should support a rate of 480 Mbit/s and USB 1.1 data transmission support max 12 Mbps transfer rate.
  Did you mean the transfer rate of 2.5MB/s or 2.5Mbps?
