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?

  • Instant stopping and restarting on Satellite P100-347

    My satellite P100-347 maintains close instantly then restart. All the solutions because its still new and very expensive for a replacement.

    Hello

    It seems that your machine is overheating and then he made a stop for reasons of physical security.
    You said that it happened when you play NFS carbon, it is a good sign for a cpu/vga heat problem.

    I suggest you to clean your fan and your cooling system, because when it s clobbed with of the dust of the system cannot be properly cooled and it is stopped to avoid serious damage to your valuable equipment. Just be a can of compressed air and clean your cooling system (but gently, otherwise you may damage the fan who convey the air that is heated from cpu/vga)

    Just a question: what drivers are installed for your vga? You have the original toshiba display drivers? If this isn't the case, then the problem is self explaining because schedules of the original nvidia/ati drivers are not suitable for laptops.

  • Satellite P100 Windows MCE hotkey.exe/Media hotkeys

    Hey there,

    My Satellite P100 has six media usual and all buttons but play work correctly.

    I was wondering if there is a way to stop the play button opening the useless Windows Media Center unless the program is open, the key will not do what is supposed to do.

    It's like hotkey.exe is indicative of the key to open the media center when you press if it is not already open. If someone knows how to fix this stupid problem and check the key work is once again, I would be very happy if they could let me know.

    Hey Wolfy

    I can't imagine that this problem exists on the first day because the laptop with the factory settings is pre-installed and configured correctly. Because of this, I think you did something wrong and now you have this problem.

    The buttons feature is responsible for tools designed by Toshiba. I don't really know exactly who is responsible for this, but you can try to reinstall TOSHIBA Hotkey Utility V1.8.3.2, TOSHIBA controls V1.8.3.2 and also V1.8.3.2 utility TOSHIBA.

    I think TOSHIBA controls should be responsible for this, but I'm not 100% sure.

  • Need graphics drivers for my Satellite P100 WXP

    Hey,.

    not sure if I'm good sector. I have the Satellite P100 T5200 I recently installed Windows XP SP2 home edition. It came with Vista. I was not sent a driver CD, but I have managed to find most of them since the formatting of Vista, but I can't find a video driver. Thank you

    Hello

    Satellite P100 laptop computers were shipped with different hardware specifications!
    You check the full name for laptop (P100-xxx) and visit the Toshiba driver page.

    Choose the right laptop series (you can find the serial number on the label) and download the XP graphics driver for the graphics card right!

    If you are not able to find the right graphic driver for XP, I would recommend research for a compatible graphics card manufacturing sites.

    Good luck

  • Unexpected restart of satellite P30

    Hi all

    It is now more than a year, I used my laptop Toshiba P30, but now it becomes difficult to work on it.

    Early in the summer time when I was using my computer for gaming, the laptop heats up and shut down. Right now I get the habit of vacuuming dust on the fan using my vacuum cleaner, it helped a lot to avoid overheating.
    But 2 months if my fans are clean, I got an automatic restart.

    But now it's worse, when I start it the sound never works at the first reset, I still need to do a second. As often time the laptop computer restart itself even after a night off the COAST during the boot or on the first few seconds after the window opening.

    I format the HARD disk to clean every thing but for the format, it was also switching OFF. After a few test I was able to reinstall XP, but it is more stable. Soon I start games or other big software the computer turn off (without the warning screen or blue), if I check the temperature of the rear side with my hands I can not feel it too hot.
    I also noticed when I have too much connected to it USB (like: USB mouse + USB microphone and Webcam) it goes OFF.

    To use it I have to wait until I'm 100% sure that the boot sequence is above and doing things slowly I can surf the net and used by e-mail, but I never know how long I'll be able to use it, sometimes it's a few times, it's 2 hours 2 minutes.

    Please, there's someone who can help me?

    Vincent

    Hello

    It's not easy to say why it happens. Generally, it looks like overheating but the laptop should stop down for formatting the HARD drive.
    Maybe don t cooling modules work correctly. It is also possible that there is another flaw on a different part.
    First of all, you should check if the cooling modules can catch its breath and if the air inlet is free.
    The second possibility is to check the parameters energy saver. This application of Toshiba is responsible for the CPU and the use of module cooling.

    If all this advice doesn't help t, so the last chance to resolve the issue is to contact Toshiba service for the control of the laptop.

  • Satellite P100: Ox7927e03e fatal execution engine error Code

    The above error message (code Ox7927e03e) appears whenever I restart my Satellite P100.

    Various suggestions on the Microsoft XP Update/repair Net.Framework Web site do not work.

    Any ideas? The computer works normally except for the library that generates the same message.

    First, you can use Windows own system restore tool. This tool will recover the OS to the point of beginning. If this does not work, you can use the Toshiba Recovery CD. On this CD everything was preinstalled and this facility will define the laptop back to factory settings

  • Satellite P100 (PSPA6A) - white screen, crashes and then restarts by itself

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite P100 (PSPA6A) and am running Windows XP on it. Last month, I had a problem with my computer when the screen becomes white, then freezes and restarts itself.

    I took it to a computer store to get the snippet, but they couldn't find anything wrong with it. I tried to find if all programs are at the origin of this problem but I have not been able to find. My computer can be on for 10 h, before this occurs, and it can be on for 5 minutes before this problem occurs. It can also occur during the loading screen before reaching the windows welcome screen. If it helps, there is a slight delay when the screen becomes white and when it's freezing (I have music in the background several times where the music was still playing for a few seconds while the screen was white, and then it froze and rebooted).

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello!

    Have you checked the RAM yourself using Memtest86 as resident suggested? I mean Memtest86 is really great to test the RAM and if there is a problem, Memtest86 should prove.

    In addition I recommend you to check the HARD drive. Therefore, you can use Drive Fitness Test and Google is your friend to find.
    This program is also free.

    In the worst cases, you should go to an authorized service provider. Maybe it of a problem of the motherboard or processor, and this can be checked by a technician of the laptop.

  • Satellite P100-113 screen erased and now just keeps trying to restart

    Salvation was using my Satellite P100-113 fine the other day and then the screen went white environment of use. Now he just tries but fails to restart all the time.

    All lights light up and lights up the screen but in fact, nothing appears on the screen (no text or whatever) and then just wait a few seconds, stops and then darkens as if its just try to restart again. Can't do anything with him - so he just guard cycling and try to restart as long as you hold the power button or simply unplug and let the battery.

    Any ideas anyone? Thank you

    Kay

    Hello

    Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter.
    Wait a few minutes (40 - 60 min) and reconnect the two parts.
    Then try to restart the computer and press F2 for the BIOS.

    If you will be able to access the BIOS and set it the default settings.

    Check if this short workaround solution will help you.

  • Satellite P100-286 - vertical on the screen restart and constant lines

    I got this P100-286 with Nvidia Geforce Go 7900 GS and recently the laptop started to freeze options even with vertical lines on the screen tried recovery cd tried to re - install and after installation, that he started to do the same. I have read similar problems in the forum and this is a common problem with Toshiba? I have spend £1500 on this and it is only 3 years old. My friends have older laptops of this almost 6 years old and in good working condition.
    Y at - it a suggestion for this problem or a solution? The heat on the basis of the laptop is really hot and it's like that for centuries.

    Any help is really appreciated after spending so much like to last longer or it is a problem of reliability with the Toshiba brand.

    Hi vns.

    Hmm strange. I have ever read on these issues here in the forum with Satellite P100. Friend of me has the same model and it s still does work correctly, no problems at all.

    Do you have the same vertical lines on a screen? If so, it is certainly associated with the internal graphics card and not watch.
    By the way: you have the same problem in the BIOS or just Windows?

    With regard to the heat on the underside: I think that it s time to clean it and remove dust. You can do this using the jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans. That's why it of not necessary to disassemble your laptop.

  • Can I install professional WXP on my Satellite P100?

    Hello

    I have the Satellite P100 - PSPA3C-SD300E laptop computer and I need to install Win Xp Pro

    The laptop came with Win XP home but I need to use a few programs (Microsoft Virtual PC) requiring a Win XP Pro

    Does anyone know about all the problems of the use of XP Pro on this laptop? I'll take a guess that there is no problem since it is only 3 months old, but I wanted to check.

    It would be great if someone has any point of view that I intend to update tomorrow

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    If you want to install WinXP Pro, you must first install the operating system and then all the Toshiba drivers and utilities in the correct order.
    Win XP Home and Pro uses the same drivers. The difference between Pro and the House is not very big. The Pro has more features administration and configuration that you can control yourself. The Home version is designed for common Windows users.

    Anyway, what you have to do is to install the drivers after installation of operating system and you must follow the installation guide that you find on the page of the Toshiba driver.

    Good luck

    Hello

    WXP MCE Toshiba comes a BONE for this unit or your own installation? Sometimes I have the same problem, but the little time after, it works again. I assume that some process running in the background block it for a while.

    It happens to me when I close the windows open a few very fast. I have to wait two or three minutes before I could continue the work. I put t know how it is in your case, but I can live with that.
