• Unexpected restarts in Satellite P100 WXP MCE

  Satellite P100-342 - PSPA3E 10 months. From the beginning, the pc restarts unexpectedly during a working session every 5 minutes on. A full recovery does not solve the problem.

  The pc was sent 3 times to the Toshiba technical service: motherboard, memory of the graphics card and hard drive has been changed and bios and updated soft graphics card. After repairs things have improved a little bit and reboots happen about every hour.

  Restart is not at all when the computer works alone (download large file, reading movies etc..) without user intervention.

  Hello

  It's very strange question. Can you please tell me what is your typical work session? What applications you use especially when the system crashes?

• Windows XP Home unable to start on Satellite P30

  Hello

  I use WinXP-H on a Satellite P30 (7 years).
  The screen died earlier, so I have been using an external monitor, but it's a problem for another time.

  A few days ago Windows has been updated. After all 4hours, it restarted itself - do not know if it has finished to day I was away from my office. Windows did not start, just hung on black screen boot WinXp.

  I turned off with the power button, left for a while and tried to restart. The first, a few times I could access the screen "Safe Mode, last known good Config etc" with F8, but he only got to Windows once, where it froze.

  At the start, only the F2 & F12 keys work now (for the blue BIOS screen and boot options). Tent to start HD causes not normal clicking noises then the "a disk error occurred. CTRL-ALT-DEL to restart message. " I tried to use the Toshiba Recovery disk, but it seems that you wipe the files left on the hard disk, even if she managed to reinstall Windows.

  I had saved most of my files, but there are some that I had not succeeded in yet, so I would try to keep them. Forums, it seems that there are several possible solutions:

  1. start from the restore disc Toshiba to format the HD and maybe recover some of the files later with file recovery software.
  2. get an installation of WinXP-H disc, which seems to have a recovery program.
  3. remove the HD and connect it to another computer to delete my files. I'm not experienced by removing computers, but would give it a go, if it was the best option.

  Soon, any advice appreciated.

  In my opinion the easiest way to access the HARD disk is to connect it as external drive to the other PC.
  Removing the disc HARD is not so complicated that you can do it alone. If you need help with him let us know.

  What you need is the external IDE HDD case. You can buy it on ebay and it is cheap.

  In the end I have to say that I think that the HARD drive is faulty, maybe only some sectors do not work and thereby Windows gets stuck on some steps.

  I had this old Satellite it there a long time, in red. It is a very nice machine with its fabulous. :)

• Satellite P30 - blue screen after reinstalling OS

  I reinstall OS (Windows XP) on my old laptop Toshiba Satellite P30, but after the first (required to continue XP Setup) restart the BLUEBACK screen appear (System has recovered from a serious error).

  The laptop can not load Windows XP at all. Do you have an idea of what's going on?

  Thanks :)

  Hello

  It looks like a hardware problem. You should check the RAM and HARD drive.

  http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT
  With the Drive Fitness Test, you can test your HARD drive. Download the CD image, burn it to a CD and boot from it. You can then the HARD drive.
  On the same site is a user's guide if you want to know more.

  http://Memtest86.com/
  Memtest86 is a diagnostic tool to check the RAM. Here, you can also download a CD image.
  It s easy to use. Run the test of 3-4 hours and then you will see if the RAM has some errors.

  Good luck!

  Good bye

• Satellite P30: Energy saving does not work correctly

  Hello
  I have a Toshiba Satellite P30 (with Windows XP) and I have problems with my energy saving mode. When I use it for games and other applications of high power, it gets really hot on the edge of the moitor and stops.

  Is it for the last month or two. Before that, it was absolutelly no problem. I checked the file TPSTrace and got this error message:
  A fatal error has occurred. The program will end. Code: 0x0 rental: MainFrm.cpp (1317)

  I do not know what to do with it and how to solve the problem. Any ideas?

  Hi Thomas

  It is not easy to give you an accurate diagnosis, but in my opinion your laptop isn't hot because of the energy savings. Satellite P30 is pretty old laptop and maybe you should clean your laptop.

  Have you done this before?

  This error seems to be serious and what you can do is to remove the preinstalled energy saver and after restarting try installing it again.

  Just FYI: Watch tool is very useful, but certainly not so important and your system can function very well without it. Because of this, I presume that portable hot is because of dust inside. With more CPU and activity hardware graphics card will be hot and must be cooled properly. If the cooling rack does not clean this cannot happen. Initially, notebook will be hot, but one day she is probably turned off without any warning.

  In the first trial step to clean your laptop and remove all the dust under cooling grill.

• Help please: error 0x0000007e Stop when starting up on top of Satellite P30 110

  Hello

  I wonder if someone can please help me with a recurring error message I get randomly when starting up. I have a satellite P30-110, with WXP Home SP2 installed. Mobile P4 3.2Ghz processor, 512 RAM, ATI mobility Radeon 9600/9700 series.

  Turns off the computer as usual last night. He walks this morning and think that it load the bios OK and then got the black background with Win XP, and then think about this error page came. Has a blue background with the following text:

  "A problem has been detected and Windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

  If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

  Make sure you have enough disk space. If a driver is identified in the stop message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for driver updates. Try changing video cards.

  Check with your hardware vendor for updates to the BIOS. Disable the BIOS memory options such as implementing caching or shading. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.

  Technical information:

  "STOP: 0X0000007E (0XC0000005, 0X00000000, 0XF891D384, 0XF891D080).

  I turned the computer off, then restarted when prompted chose to start windows normally, and it seems to start up fine.

  Any ideas?
  Thanks for your help.

  Hello

  If this is the first time, you've seen this error, I'm not too concerned about it. There are not too many people who have not encountered this scenario occasionally.

  The time to worry, if it happens regularly, as this may indicate a component defective that will need to be diagnosed later.

  On this occasion, I suspect that the start process has detected an anomaly any (possibly a play on hard drive control) and rather than allow Windows to continue it stopped with the error on blue screen.

  Kind regards

• Satellite P30: it does not recognize DVD discs properly

  Hello I have a Satellite P30, can't read the DVD or CD when I try to open the DVD or CD the Explorer session seems to hang for a while and then comes with a screen reader DVD-RAM with the option on the left to write files to a CD. I installed the latest drivers and BIOS for my laptop.

  I am at a loss, everything was working fine until recently the does'nt PC seem to recognize I have a cd or drive normalDVD drive it just see the of it as a DVD RAM drive.

  When I put a dvd in side light flashes orange and the system hangs just for awhile. I sometimes get an IO error when trying to read from a cd. What I put in it thinks I want to write files

  HI Matt,

  I suggest that you check in Device Manager to see if there is a problem with your hard drive. In any case, it may be helpful to remove the device from Device Manager and then restart for the drive is recognized again as a new installation.

  Kind regards

• Satellite P30-110: power supply keeps failing

  I have to shut down the computer, unplug and plug back the power only, and restart the computer. Frequently, power falls again by restarting it's laptop computer, and I have to repeat the whole process often several times. Worse still, the s question arising more and more frequently. It s driving me crazy. So, any help would be appreciated.

  Hello John

  I think this problem should be properly verified by the service partner. On this path, it is not easy to give an accurate diagnosis. To correctly power AC power adapter, power on the laptop power and power electronic housing must work well. If a place is defective, you can expect problems.

  In my opinion, the unit should be checked by technicians.

• Driver for ATI Mobility Radeon 9600/9700 on Satellite P30

  In my laptop Satellite P30 my ATI video card sometimes doesn't cooperate very well using the pc: the result is a blue screen with the message: the file ati3duag.dll creates a problem with your hardware.

  Sometimes, due to the same issue (?), the screen appears fuzzy.

  I tried drivers for Microsoft (for Windows Vista), ATI Technologies and this Web site, but there is no driver available. May be a work around... ?

  Stand by. You have installed Windows Vista on Satellite P30? Where you founded display driver for this?

  The fact is that Vista OS is not supported for this older model laptop and Toshiba does not provide any support and drivers for Vista. In this case, you are alone and see how to get it working.

  What you can try to do is remove the pre-installed display driver, restart the computer and install it again.

  One last thing: you can be lucky that Vista works well on this laptop model because Toshiba has offered the special version of BIOS for all the portable older with Vista support.

• Satellite P30-145: White Rectangle on screen

  I have a Toshiba Satellite P30-145, and he has recently developed a problem with the display. Whenever the computer is turned on, there is a large white rectangle covering part of the screen from top to bottom.

  Stopping and restarting the computer didn't help, display settings settings I tried did not work and a system restore did not work.

  I think it's maybe a problem of overheating the computer often becomes very hot and sometimes stops due to overheating (even if fans don't seem to be blocked when this happens).

  Anyone know what could be the problem and if it can be fixed?

  Hello

  I think that the fault of the graphics card might be the problem
  Maybe the GPU damaged because the temperature inside the laptop.
  As you say the laptop is overheating and it is really possible that it was a reason for that matter.

  In my opinion, you need to connect the laptop to the external monitor to check if the same will appear on the second screen.
  If you're going to see the same rectangle on the screen then the graphics card is damage and the entire motherboard must be replaced

  Feedback would be greatly appreciated

• My Satellite P30 shutdowns

  Hello

  I have a Satellite P30 since 2004 and it's good.

  But for a few months, when I run many applications simultaneously, or when I run applications requiring many resources RAM or CPU (like games or a² or anti-virus full scan), the laptop stop without a signal (sound or message).

  Then, when I reboot, I go to a page that ask me to choose between "without the error mode' or 'last good config' or 'normal startup '.
  Usually I start normally (but the same thing happens when I choose other) but the laptop stop before the login the same way Windows page.
  It could occurs 5 to 10 times before restarting the laptop properly.

  For more information, this problem occurs first when I installed and Runic last game of Baphomet. But since I formatted the laptop and reinstall it properly and the problem seemed to be desapeared. But now, for 2 or 3 days, she came back.

  Someone has an idea of what is my problem?

  Virus? Internal temperature? Hardware problem? Do I need a BIOS update?

  Thank you for your interest and sorry for my English (I'm just french!: p)

  Hello

  > Virus? Internal temperature? Hardware problem? Do I need a BIOS update?

  -Virus-> I don t think that it s a Virus if you use Antivirus software that is always up to date

  --> Update the BIOS does not recommend that the BIOS update because the laptop ran correctly with this BIOS all the time long.

  -Hardware problem-> maybe something wrong with the HARD drive, but it is not easy to say until you buy a new HARD drive and will test it.

  -Internal temperature-> probably. According to my experience the high temperature causes a lot of strange problems, and it looks like overheating. Maybe the fans are dirty with dust and debris prevents the runtime properly underway cooling. In my opinion, the fans should be cleaned. Vacuuming is a nice toy but risky because the strong suction can damage fans. Many computer stores provide sprays professional compressed air that can be used to clean the fans.

  If this does not help I recommend to contact a technician phone for professional cleaning. Perhaps a new thermal grease which is placed between the CPU and cooling modules could improve the situation.

• Satellite P30 and Windows 2000...

  Please, please, please... help me solve my nightmare!

  I tried all ways to install Windows 2000 on my satellite P30. All software and drivers are updated (service pack 4, dx9, lastes drivers, etc), but...

  When the installation of the white screen of graphic Ati drivers (ati 9700) appears and it crash (as shown in the previous topic: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=4136&messageID=13825#13825 - I want to reopen that walk but is locked)

  The problem is that I have great experience in the software/hardware and I have installed all drivers (drivers omega, satellite m30x drivers, drivers ati, different drivers manufactured, ecc.) but the problem STILL persists.

  I'm going to give up, but before that I would like to know, if someone here in this forum has solved this problem or if anyone really expert could suggest me other ways to install windows 2000 on this computer?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Nick is quite right. W2000 is not officially supported for this model of laptop, and you won't find a graphics card driver on Toshiba download site. I assume that you have installed the driver from ATI directly download site. In this case there is no guarantee that it will work properly.

  Sorry

• Question about port COM on Satellite P30

  Hello

  I have the Satellite P30.

  I am trying to connect a GPS to the laptop.
  Write GPS on COM Port - COM1 - COM5

  The laptop had only USB and no COM port.
  Is it possible to attach a laptop COM port?

  Thank you

  Clive

  Do you mean the real com ports or virtual COM ports?

  However, I guess that this device can be connected to a USB port and then a virtual COM port will be created.
  In this case the drivers must be installed provided with this device.
