Satellite Pro M50: ATI Radeon Mobility 200 - Blue Screen error

Hi,
My girlfriend has a Satellite Pro M50, she bought it around 3 weeks ago, recently it has begun freezing while in general use (playing music, browsing web over wifi etc) and then it blue screens. The blue screen only stays on for a fraction of a second before disappearing and restarting the machine.
Once it has booted up again i send the error report to Microsoft and this lets me know that it may have been the ATI drivers, i went to the ati site to look for drivers but for some reason there were none for the mobility 200m, i used the drivers from the toshiba site instead and this seemed to fix the problem for a short while, but it is now happening again, is this a software or hardware problem and what should i do?
any ideas anyone (machine specs below)?
Toshiba Satellite Pro M50
Intel Celeron 1.5ghz
512mb RAM
40gb HDD
ATI Mobility Radeon 200m
Win XP Home Ed
cheers
Rich

When you boot up the computer, after the toshiba logo goes off hit F8 until it gives you the advanced boot up options. Boot up with the Computer does not restart after a fatal error. This will freeze the Blue screen when it shows up. Once it does copy the 0x00000 code and post it here. If you have a good stick of ram try that and see if it works. If not it could be the video memory.
Or it could just be that the GPU is overheating because it is defective and needs to be replaced. Try another ram, and post the error code. If new ram has same issue, reinstall the OS and see if that fixes it. If not, could be a defective video card or even a processor. At which point I advise taking it to your ASP and have them test it to find the true cause.
Hope this helps narrow it down.

  • Satellite A60: ATI graphics driver issue - blue screen error

    Hello,
    I have a Sattelite A60, and I have had it for a year, and now suddenly, I have frequent crashes. The Blue Screen of Death tells me that it is caused by a driver not working properly, namely an ATI driver.

    I deinstalled the display drivers and for a short while it seemed to work. However, the blue screen of death did not reappear, but now my laptop suddenly switches itself off: immediate powerdown. Also, I have had the driver failing to work properly: this resulted in the screen resolution suddenly resetting itself to safe mode. De blue screen I got before mentioned that the fault lay in ati2dvag.dll - the windows error analysis screen that appeared after my reboot told me that the problem with this dll again caused the problem. This was before and after the reinstall of the Toshiba drivers.
    Going to try and reinstall them again now. See if it works this time.

  • Ati radeon xpress 200 series driver installing windows 8.1 pro black screen

    dell optiplex 320 running Windows 8.1 standard.  The display is listed as ATI RADEON XPREES 200 in the device manager. 
    It is using the driver provided by the operating system - ATI Technologies dated 10/2/2010 and version 10-2_legacy_vista32-64_dd_ccc and ATI_ATI-Radeon-Xpress-X1100_A03_R172873.  From a cold boot the blue Windows logo appears and then the mouse cursor
    in the middle of the screen, but the start screen with the tiles is not displayed.  Maybe this sounds weird, but I think the start screen and tiles is there, but just not being shown on the screen.  There appears to be nothing there, but I can move
    the cursor around on the black screen and click in frustration.  Then I press the power button and the laptop enters sleep mode.  Once in sleep mode I press power again to resume the computer and then the lock screen shows up and I can see the start
    screen and tiles and everything works like it should.  This only happens from a cold boot.  If the computer was on and restarted it does not happen.  Has this happened to anyone else?  Any suggestions?  I will check for a newer display
    driver from ATI.  The only driver on the Windows Update Catalog is for Windows Vista.

    mouse cursor in the middle of the screen, but the start screen with the tiles is not displayed.
    Usually it is nVidia users who complain of this.  An explanation would be that you are seeing your secondary monitor display in an Extended display configuration.  When you press Win- etc. it would show on your primary monitor (which you can't
    see).  So, press Win-P anyway and imagine that you can see its display.  Then you would press CursorUp, Enter and switch display configurations so you could see something. 
    only happens from a cold boot.
    Then there is a feature in a boot that makes this change.  Try using Win-P again when you can see it to see what the configuration is then.

  • Satellite Pro M50 - Need the MODEL number

    Hi everyone,
    I am new to this so please bear with me.I am looking to sell my Satellite Pro M50 and need the model number to list it correctly.
    Where can I find this number please.
    Thanks Keith.

    Hi again
    Well, as far as I know the Satellite Pro M50 belongs to the PSM55E series.
    Some of the Pro M50 have been equipped with the CELERON Mobile-360 (DOTHAN-CELERON 1.4Ghz) CPU, 14 WXGA screen, 256MB RAM, ATI Mobility Radeon 200M 128MB shared graphics, 40GB HDD
    Of course there are Pro M50 units with faster CPU (1.5Ghz instead of 1.4Ghz), bigger RAM (512MB) and bigger HDD 60GB.
    I think you should install an hardware diagnostic tool like Everest Home edit which would scan the hardware parts. Then you could get all details about built-in parts

  • Blue screen error message on Satellite Pro A10

    Hi,
    I'm trying to help my inlaws with their Satellite Pro SPA10. I had set this up for them a few months ago and it was running really well.
    Now it restarts about two seconds past the "use last good configuration" etc. screen, gets to this screen again then restarts immediately ad infinitum, never pausing on the error mesage for long enough to see what it says.
    I managed to get it to boot from the windows XP home disc and got as far as the repair or continue with installation screen. When I asked the computer to do either it crashes to blue screen almost immediately. The error message is
    *** STOP: 0x000000c5 (0x00000000, 0x00000002, 0x00000001, 0x8082B98B)
    This is beyond my level of expertise, can anyone help?
    Thanks

    Hi Mike thank you for replying,
    I am not able to start the computer in safe mode, safe mode with networking, last good known configuration etc, Each time it quickly blue screens and restarts about two secs into the process.
    I was unable to try a clean OS install from the disk as it gave the blue screen error shown in the original post. The same thing happened when I tried to use the repair option on the XP home disc. So i can't get into the computer at all to start diagnosing the fault, the only clue I have is the error message, and after searching the internet I haven't found much enlightenment from that yet.
    If you can help me out or suggest where to search it would be much appreciated.
    Thx

  • Satellite Pro M50: WLan connection loses IP address after 10min

    I have just purchased a Satellite Pro M50.
    I can connect to router using Congfigfree o.k., but after 10 minutes or so it loses ip-address etc.
    Have to refresh the wireless connection to reconnect.
    This continues every 10 min or so.

    The Problem seems to be built in Atheros AR5005G Adapter constantly dropping the connection.
    Using a PCMCIA card to connect to WLan solved the problem.
    updated
    Found that changing the 'Power Save mode' from Normal to Off solves the problem with the
    Atheros AR5005G Adapter.

  • Satellite Pro A300 shows blue screen error 8086...

    Hi,
    today laptop produced a Microsoft error message (Didn't see what it was) and it said to restart laptop.
    On restart blue screen error message appeared. 0x00008086
    Thanks

    Hi
    Did you get this BSOD only once as yet?
    Maybe its just a driver issue so check the device manager for any problems.
    Normally BSODs are related to RAM or HDD. You can test both components using a special test tools like Memtest86 and Drive Fitness Test. You can use Google to find both freeware programs.

  • Satellite A300D-1EI - blue screen error - display drivers had failed

    I 've bought my laptop a month ago.
    Everything is working great except two "blue screen" errors caused by the graphics card.
    Both were when the laptop was connected with TV through S-video port.
    First was when the laptop display turned off after 15 minutes while watching a movie, on resume said that display drivers had failed and then I got the blue screen. Then I updated the display drivers from ATI's website and set the laptop display not to turn off.
    All were ok with no problems, until last night when I got another message that display drivers had failed followed by a blue screen.
    I am wondering if this is a driver's problem or is something wrong with my graphics card.
    System Info:
    Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T8400 @ 2.26 GHz
    Memory (RAM): 3.00 GB
    System Type: 32-bit Windows Vista Home Premium
    Display Adapter: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470

    So long you use ATI driver from ATI support page there is no possibility to say anything about it.
    This driver is not tested and Toshiba cannot offer any help about it.
    So what you can do is to install OS again using recovery media and see what will happen in the future. Please test it intensively with clean preinstalled operating system. Don't install anything that can have some negative influence to this game or additional applications, codecs or something similar.
    Test it please and let us know if the problem persists.
    When you want to watch movies on TV at first switch to the TV and then start DVD player.

  • Blue Screen Error on Satellite A100-920 (PSAA9)

    Hi
    I had a blue screen error during normal use and after restart, Windows suggested updating the BIOS, so I updated it with the latest version (5.10). The next day, I got another blue screen and on restart, Windows suggested I update my display drivers, which I did (to ver. 8.241)... I have an ATI Radeon X1400 GPU. After doing that, the computer crashed every time it loaded windows, with a popup about services.exe telling me the computer would turn off in 60 seconds.
    I assumed this was related to the display driver, so I replaced the drivers with an earlier-dated version (8.241-034065C). After I did this, it seemed to work and I could use the computer fine for a bit, even play games such as GTA but i am starting to get the blue screens again, usually just when opening folders, etc and not when running graphics-heavy applications. The problem definitely goes away when I disable my display drivers, but that's not much of a solution.
    I turned off the reboot on error setting and this is the information from the blue screen of death:
    *** STOP: 0x0000008E (0xC0000005,0xEE6DF5E9,0xBAD2F99C,0x00000000)
    *** system32:huy32.sys - Address EE6DF5E9 base at EE6DD000, Datestamp 45abe717
    Does anyone have any idea how I can sort this problem, it's driving me crazy!
    I have downloaded the Omega drivers for the card, but am slow to install them as I hear they can cause overheating and I think ATI/Toshiba should be able to provide me with a solution without me having to use third party drivers.

    I have Network Associates (McAfee) v. Enterprise 8. I ran a full virus scan with this and windows defender and a worm stinger utility and another microsoft app whose name I forget... all came up clean.
    I tried the omega drivers out of frustration and they cause services.exe to terminate.
    Could it possibly be a BIOS issue? I'm not sure how likely it is, since the computer definitely works with the display adapter enabled and will usually crash (BSOD) after anything from a few mins to a few hours with it enabled. I seem to be getting two types of reply from microsoft on restart, one saying there is a general driver fault and one saying there is a display driver fault and suggesting updating the display drivers.

  • Sat Pro A60: Blue screen error

    I have had my satellite pro A60 laptop for around 6 months and recently a blue screen has started flashing up with white writing scrolling down really fast and then the laptop restarts itself. I don't have time to read what this writing says. Can any one give me any advice on what this could be and how to fix the problem ?
    Many thanks in advance.

    Hi
    Well, the simple way is to reinstall the OS. But if you want, you can disable the automatically restart function of Windows Xp to read this error massage.
    Go to System in Control Panel. Then Advanced tab. In the Startup ad Recovery section press setting button. There you need to disable the option Automatically restart.
    But its very difficult to understand the blue screen error message for common users.
    Bye

  • My macbook pro freezes and then displays a blue screen with black stripes... do you know what's wrong with it?

    My macbook pro freezes and then displays a blue screen with black stripes... do you know what's wrong with it?
    I have a two and half year mac book pro... I've had some issues with the screen looking scrambled when I quit certain applications, but now it's turned into something worse.  I'll be working on my computer and the thing will freeze.  When I force restart, the first screen, the apple logo, will be a blue tint and won't boot up normally.  Then I try safe mood and it will then boot just fine.  But there are blue stripes on my screen.  The screen alternates from a blue tint to normal and if the computer freezes again the screen will become completely blue with black stripes.  I haven't tried reinstalling my software because I don't have the startup discs that came with my computer.  If I was sure that would fix it I would purchase them, but if it's a hardware issue I'm afraid that I'm screwed.  I've been able to successfully get the blue off my screen by putting it to sleep and then waking it up, but that's not working well anymore either. 
    Does anyone else have experience with this?  Is it the firmware or what?  I have a MacBook Pro from early 2011 and I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.8.
    Please help... Thanks!

    I just experienced this exact same issue with my early 2011 15" macbook pro. Since like a month after purchasing it I had issues with the screen randomly going dark on me. I sent it in for repair inder waranty they replaced the gpu and logic board but I continued to have the same issues with the screen randomly going black sometimes I would need to reboot it in order to get the screen to go back on but it happened so infrequently and I used the computer for school so disnt find the time to resend it in to apple. Just last night the screen started to display the blue screen with black verticle lines on it. I called apple and explained to them  the issues that had been ongoing since I purchased the laptop but they said because I was now outside of warantee that any repairs at thia point wouldn't be covered. Fml so glad I spent 2200 on this future proof macbook pro what a joke my sister purchased a toshiba laptop for 300 4 years ago and it still running like a champ. I loved my macbook but at the price I paid I expect it to last longer than 2 years before leaving me high and dry. *** apple??

  • Satellite P20-771: Blue screen error message after OS reinstalling

    I have a laptop Satellite P20-771 / Pentium 4 3.40GHz (800/HTT) / XP Home/ 17' with nVidia Geo5700 driver.
    As I had some problems with software, and I reinstalled everything using the provided CDs. Unfortunately the computer keeps malfunctioning giving me blue screen errors, that are due (this comes out when I sumbit the error to Microsoft) to device drivers. I updated everything (I hope) from the Toshiba page, but I am not an expert and I am worried that I missed something or that something has not been loaded in the right order or that the setting are incorrect.
    Thank in advance for your help
    Roberto

    Hello
    I have also P20 (red one) and have never had any problem after using provided recovery media. According to your posting there must be two possible reasons for blue screen:
    1. you have installed some additional software that causes bluescreen or
    2. there is some hardware component responsible for that (new memory module or maybe some external device connected to the unit)
    Sorry but I dont see any other reason. On this way it is not easy to give precise answer and we can just speculate why this happen.

  • Satellite L505-13W shows Blue screen error

    My laptop SATELLITE L505-13W Shows blue screen error.
    The os gets booted up and after some time it shows a blue screen error and restarts.
    On restart it asks for repair, even after succesfull repair it showed the same error.
    So i tried to recover using the recovery cd but it proved to be a tragedy.
    It eraced my full HDD to stone age and smiled at me saying recovery is not possible.
    please help me.......

    Hi
    If the notebook cannot be recovered using the recovery disk, then all this smells like hardware problem.
    Are you sure that your recovery disk is OK?
    Did you try to install the OS using other installation disk?
    Maybe this would be useful to check if the issue might be related to the faulty recovery disk but if the BSOD (blue screen of death) appeared before the OS installation, then I would say the issue might be caused by internal hardware malfunction
    It would be necessary to check the RAM modules and the HDD.
    HDD can be checked using the HDD diagnostic software like Drive Fitness Test (freeware)
    RAM could be checked using a tools like memtest but you need a running systemso in this case you cannot check the RAM using a software I recommend removing one module and testing the notebook using one module in each slot

  • Satellite L300D-11A - DVD-drive issue and Blue Screen

    Hi
    I'm going out of my mind :o//
    My Satellite L300D-11A was delivered with a Windows Vista Home Premium, but I recently made a clean installation of the Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bits.
    Since then I have had problems with "Blue screen error's" comming randomly. Have purchased and installed a Registry clean up program, but that did not fix the problem. Any one else with that problem - and a possible solution.
    And now for my big problem. My CD and DVD drive is driving me crazy ;o) It's a Mat****a DVD-RAM UJ-850S ATA and from my search on the internet I have found that a lot of other Mat****a owners have had the same or similar problem(s). My drive will not regonize or play/read from CD's. DVD with movies or programs I can play. Burning CD's is not possible and burning DVD's is sometimes working, and other times not.
    I have read about the different fixes that is posted - also here on the Toshiba forum - Non of the suggested solutions is working for me - any new solutions that I could try.
    Seriously thinking about buying a external USB DVD drive/burner - but can someone please tell me why Toshiba does not get the fingers out off their B** and find a solution like it seams Sony has done.
    Look forward to any reply ;o))
    Someone once told me about this quote - "Don't wish it was easier - work on getting clever !" I need your help to get clever ;o))

    > But I do not now how/where to get the registration keys! I have tried looking for them.
    Are you talking about *Upper/Lower Filters* ?
    Follow these instructions for clearing the Upper/Lower Filters:
    Click on Start --> Run --> and type in 'regedit' followed by the enter key
    Expand the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" key (looks like a folder) by double clicking it (or clicking the "+" next to it.)
    Expand the "SYSTEM" Key
    Expand the "CurrentControlSet" Key
    Expand the "Control" Key
    Expand the "Class" Key
    Please look for a key containing the following string of letter and numbers:{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    High light this key by left clicking once on it
    On the right hand side you are looking for "UpperFilters" and "LowerFilters" under the "Name" column, once you find these please delete them by right clicking on them and choosing "delete"
    Please exit the registry by clicking on the "X" in the top right hand corner of the screen
    Reboot your computer
