  • Satellite P200 - system crashes when left alone for a short period of time.

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite P200 PSPB6A - 17804M crashes when I haven't touched the keyboard or the mouse, for a period of time.

    The o/s is the version of Windows Vista Ultimate 32 Bit and specifications for the model are as link. But with a 128 MB ATI HD2600 video.

    Link: [link to the same laptop model: 0127 http://cgi.ebay.com.au/TOSHIBA-SATELLITE-P200-2.6GHZ-400GB-17.0%22-WX+-200-DVD_W0QQitemZ120369598613QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxZ2009?] IMSfp = TL090127161001r18426]

    I have updated all the updates Toshiba including the 2.50 bios update.

    Problem
    When left alone for s short period of time, my system crashes, although my mouse moves again. Click anywhere on the screen or by using the keyboard does not seem to get back to work. The only way I can then use my laptop is to do a hard reboot by holding the button power for 5 seconds.

    My system seems to work very well as long as I don't stop using the mouse or the keyboard.
    The time between when I finally used the computer and when it hangs can range from 5 minutes to 10 hours.

    I disabled all the parameters of energy saving, including the video recording without success.

  • Why Google Image Search freezes up when using Firefox?

    During the execution of an Image via Google in Firefox search it temporarily freezes or becomes constantly slow. I unchecked the hardware acceleration, as suggested by some, but it made no difference; My graphics drivers to date, I used Firefox worm. 23. I've updated when I first noticed the problem if it persists despite the update.

    I have no virus or threats on my PC.

    Start Firefox in Mode safe to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

    To turn on safe mode

    • You can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.
    • Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If it works in Mode safe mode and normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Modules > Extensions) off and then try to find which extension is the cause by allowing an extension at a time until the problem reappears.

    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit ' (Windows: Firefox/file > quit;) Mac: ' Firefox > quit Firefox. " Linux: "Firefox/file > exit ')

  • Computer automatically "wake up" and unable to wake up mode standby when left idle

    original title: screen saver does not work, the computer automatically "wake up". Computer regularly become inactive and cannot be stopped! Forced to pull the plug.

    We have a Vostro 200 with windows vista. The computer still works very well except for two major problems. The first: the screen saver does not work. The screen goes black minute before the screen saver, but when it needs to switch to screen saver mode, the fan in the computer is a thud and the screen turns back on. The second: If the computer is not alone for extended periods of time (hours to end upward in a weird semi-off state). The monitor becomes completely black (the power light goes from green to orange) and the power of the Tower light flashes continuously. If we move the mouse or the keyboard, nothing happens. We are not able to easily to "wake up" the computer. If we hold the power button down for 10 seconds, the round ends. If restart us the breath fan aggressively, but the screen will not display anything. The only way to get the computer working again is to turn off the switch that powers the computer for ~ 1 min and then put it back in again once. After a time abnormally long start-up, the computer goes to the exact same State it was when he went to the black start (the documents are always opened ect.). Does anyone have a similar experience? I am baffled and could use some help. Thank you!

    Hello

    I would guess that you have a hardware driver that is not fully compatible with the sleep mode function. I would check with the manufacturer and system of the various devices for driver updates (do not use Windows Update to do this). If this fails to solve the problem, you can turn off "sleep" (Control Panel/Power Options, check the settings of the engine at idle) or reduce the State of "s" that the system tries to get into the BIOS system (if available).
