Question Toshiba Satellite Pro R50 start up problem Solved! Major problems withToshiba Satellite Question Toshiba satellite M50-A-11E fan problem Solved! Toshiba Satellite new battery problem I would advise for u to backup your data to external drive and reformat, either toshiba system restore, or clean os win7 sp1 download from microsoft in order to rule out hardware problem. This pc is virtually on 12 hours a day since oct 2010, and has performed incredibly.
Only thing its overheating a lot, using the drivers and beta ones push the pc to the max, so i will be servicing it soon, to apply thermal paste to cpu andd video card, and airblast it. I recently reformated my pc with the3 windows iso straight out of Microsoft and the usb tool they have, set to auto download drivers and it finds most of them if not all.
I have the same laptop, sadly toshiba releases enhanced driver every 7 years or so, so i had to look all over for mine since i game a lot and having 2010 reference drivers on a $1,300 pc seems barbaric.

If there is any other info that I left out that might be pertinent ask and I’ll do my best to answer. Below are the details Starup Repair gave me.
I tried using Windows Startup Repair, it did its thing for a while then it came on and said it would not repair the problem. I tried taking the battery our and just running off the power cable, still froze. I tried using the computer while the AC power cable it not connected and just running on the battery, still froze. It still happened so I thought it might be a virus, I use Avast and ran a scan and a startup scan didn’t help. Just in case though I cleaned out the vent on the back and made sure there was no dust or anything blocking it and elevated it by about an inch off the desk for airflow. Once it happens it repeats it’s self a few times and either remains stable or keeps happening until I give up and come back later.Īt first I thought it might be a heat issue as a desktop replacement “gaming” laptop it does heat up pretty good under load, sometimes though it’s not hot at all when it freezes. Other times it freezes while Windows is starting up. I’m forced to hard reboot, and sometimes before BIOS it says no OS found, I’m not sure if that’s because of the same problem or the result of the hard reboot. The keyboard will still light up when a key is pressed but the “Caps Lock” and Num Lock” toggle lights go off and are non responsive. It doesn’t restart it just locks up, the screen freezes, the sound stops, and the mouse stops moving. I can be playing games, watching a movie, surfing the web, typing in a forum, watching YouTube, downloading data or even just while idle. Other times I can use it for all day/night with no problems. Sometimes it happens within a few minutes of starting up the computer, or 30 minutes,an hour or more into using it. It seems to happen at random times and it doesn’t seem to matter what I am doing at the time. I don’t know what the cause is but, my computer is freezing like crazy. I’ve been having this problem with my Laptop (Toshiba Qosmio X505-Q887) and I need your help.
