Equium A60-157: error caused by device driver

Hi all,
I'm trying to write my PhD thesis at the moment and am being hampered by my laptop! It keeps randomly bringing up the blue screen of death and then restarting; when it's all loaded up, I get a 'serious error' message that says 'error caused by device driver'. As far as I know, all the programs I have are compatible... I was advised to restore factory settings, which I did a few months ago. And I've had the BIOS update suitable for my computer. But it's still happening!!
If it helps, the programs I use daily are Microsoft Word, Access and Powerpoint, Internet Explorer and MSN Messenger. I don't run any high spec games (only Minesweeper occasionally!)
What can I do? Does anyone else have this problem? Any advice would be much appreciated, as these crashes are not helping my work!
Thanks...

Hi guys,
I seem to have a similar problem. About a month ago I reinstalled windows using the product recovery cd and three days later I started getting a blue screen. But the error occurs only when shutting down (not always, I can`t see any pattern)- right before the shut down itself, windows has already logged off and settings are saved. The error code is 0x50 and the report says it is caused by an unknown device driver.
The day that stop error started I installed an educational software (Leankey's) for which I used a virtual cd. But at the initial launch the program "freezed" and I had to close it and open it again, there wasn`t a problem. After that I tried to copy some files on a blank cd (without using any burning software) and it said that the device was not accessible.
I tried disabling DMA but that didn`t help. In the event viewer I saw error messages that say the cdrom has a bad block. I`m not sure whether this has something to do with the stop error but they started at the same time. I can still burn cds with other software (nero). I tried to update the device driver but it didn`t help.
Maybe I have to uninstall the driver first but from the device manager when I check the properties of the device (driver details) it uninstalls the device and the driver remains. Should I delete the driver files manually? I have checked all device drivers and they are all compatible. All installed software is digitally signed. (I immediately removed the Learnkey`s software but I think it has changed some dll...
I will appreciate any suggestions.
P.S. When I run the toshiba diagnostic tool it skips testing the cd/dvd but it doesn`t say why.

Equium A60-157 Wireless Network Card/PCMCIA HELP!

Hi, all!
This problem has been frustrating me for at least 2 months.
Ok, I recently purchased a Belkin Wireless G Notebook Card (wifi card).
The first time I installed the wifi card it was working perfectly. I powered
off the laptop (after I had finished working on it). The following day
when I powered on the laptop, you guessed it, the wifi card was not
working. I did not remove the wifi card during the power off/on phase.
When I went into the device manager, a yellow exclamation mark was
above the wifi card. When I examined the wifi cards properties, I found the
following message:
This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)
If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system.
Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device.
I have tried unistalling and reinstalling the wifi card. I have tried using the latest Belkin drivers for the wifi card. Sometimes it works, but when I power off/on the laptop its a no go.
One way I have gotten the card to work was by removing and inserting the card several times
until it found resources and finally worked. I dont use this method anymore as, quite obviously, I risk causing damage to the cardbus slot and the card. In the meantime Ive been using a Belkin Wireless G USB network adaptor. I have not had any problems with the USB adaptor, but I would prefer to use the wifi card. This is because the majority of the wifi card is housed inside the laptop, so its not easily dislodged. The USB adaptor is fine for wireless networking indoors, but too much of a risk for roaming outdoors.
I have had this problem from bios revision 1.70 to 1.8C, and I still have it with revision 1.90. Im planning to take the wifi card back to the shop for an exchange, but I have a very bad feeling that the same thing is going to happen with the replacement card. Im not convinced that the current wifi card is defective, because it works perfectly when it gets resources.
I have tried to manually configure the resources on the devices, but I run into one major problem. Windows seems to be LOCKED into automatic settings. The automatic settings checkbox is completely greyed out, making it impossible for me to clear the check box. I have not seen anything in the bios that can help me resolve this problem.
I have noticed that there are a lot of devices running off IRQ (Interrupt Request) 19, when viewing the resources by type in the device manager. These devices are:
Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller
Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controller x 2 (two entries)
Texas Instruments OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller
Texas Instrumetns PCI-1410 CardBus Controller
When the wifi card is working it also runs off IRQ 19, but as I stated before Windows is locked into automatic settings and will not let me configure the hardware resources manually.
The Equium A60-157 does not come with onboard, but it has the potential to. Wifi l.e.d. on front panel, location for physical wifi switch on side panel and wifi icon on F8. Does anyone know if Toshiba offer an upgrade service, or can I install onboard wifi myself?
ANYONE, PLEASE HELP ME WITH THESE ISSUES!!!
Thanks for you time!

Hi
I found this for you:
Two devices have been assigned the same input/output (I/O) ports, the same interrupt, or the same Direct Memory Access channel (either by the BIOS, the operating system, or a combination of the two). This error message can also appear if the BIOS did not allocate enough resources to the device (for example, if a universal serial bus (USB) controller does not get an interrupt from the BIOS because of a corrupt Multiprocessor System (MPS) table).
You can use Device Manager to determine where the conflict is and disable the conflicting device. On the General Properties tab of the device, click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooting wizard.
Try to disable the conflict devices. It will be interesting to know if the problem will occur again.
In my opinion you should contact Service partner and ask them if the unit is prepared for Wi-Fi module. Sorry but I am not sure about that and I dont want to give you a wrong information about that.

Equium A60 does not see a recording drive

Sadly more help is needed with my Equium A60 following on from the earlier fault of the missing CD\DVD drive. Thanks for the help earlier, I did get my cd drive back in 'My Computer' and it does read cds..
Today I tried to put some mp3s on a known working CDRW and my DVD writer is not seen. I get a error message saying you don't have a cd writer.. I have CD Creator 6 which I have been using ok before, that too does not see a recording drive on my laptop.
I can no longer format a blank cdr or drag and drop on a cdrw formatted previously.
Any ideas anyone.?? Thanx.!!

Hi,
in 'My Computer' right-click on the DVD drive and select properties. Check if on the record tab CD-recording is activated.
Bye

BSOD on Equium M50-244 - error caused by ati2dvag.dll

Hi have a Equium M50-244 with a problem. Seems to work fine but suddenly goes to blue screen with message:
A problem has been detected has been shut down to prevent damage.
The problem seems to be caused by following file ati2dvag.dll
If this is the first time you have seen this stop screen restart computer if this screen appears again take these steps
The device driver got stuck in an infinite loop this usually indicates a problem with the device itself or with device driver programming the hardware incorrectly.
Please check with your hardware device vendor for any driver updates.

Have tried updating drivers from Toshiba, ATI and omega this has made no difference.
Of course there could be a fault with chipset but diagnostics does not identify any problems. If I run windows in safe mode display is ok.
Other forums seem to report similar problems with this model and ATI chipset, but no-one seems to have solution. Can anyone help?

Hi
Check this thread http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=16605
By the way: the Internet is full with such discussions but the fact is that this happen on different desktops and laptops. It has nothing to do with YOUR notebook model directly.

Equium A60-157 (PSA67E) software/drivers understanding??

I am trying to restore (from nothing, no OS system) an A60-157 and finding it hard going, so I have a few questions to ask.
I have loaded a XP Home edition with service pack 1 included, (still looking for an original release copy) as it was spitting feathers with my XP pro + SP3 copy and it is now in a "better mood", I am aware some older systems worked with the first XP Original release but if you tried to give them a later version (Start again with a later copy of XP) you run into driver issues.
So my first question is did Toshiba use a "converted copy of XP" ie had bits added not found outside the walls of their factory?
My second is the recovery disc did it or does it now, have copies of the added software on this disc, (like adobe 6 and windvd v5 etc) before I buy it, as I have downloaded all the drivers for my model and not in mind of paying 30 for the same again, because I wonder if that software has some key to it all?
Am I working on a lost cause? where to alter the screen brightness I have to go into its Bios!
Many thanks from a battle weary David

> So my first question is did Toshiba use a "converted copy of XP" ie had bits added not found outside the walls of their factory?
Dont know what you mean by converted copy of XP but the Toshiba notebook are/were delivered with the recovery disk which contains an image. Image is a package which contains the Windows OS, Toshiba drivers and tools and additional software like WinDVD, etc
This is everything

All 3rd party software which was part of the Toshiba recovery image cannot be downloaded because its not Toshiba software you can download only the Toshiba tools and drivers from the Toshiba page. This means also that you can use it only in connection with recovery disk you will not get any keys etc for that

Unable to Sync Centro with Vista 32; device driver problem

I currently sync my Palm Centro (Verizon) to my Desktop Computer running Windows XP and Palm Desktop 6.2.2 with no problem. I am trying to move everything to an HP Notebook running Vista Business 32 bit. I disabled Norton Internet Security and loaded Palm 6.2.2 on the notebook but was unable to sync. Error message on the Palm said “The connection between your handheld computer and the desktop could not be established. Please check your setup and try again”. On the notebook the Palm handheld device driver has a “?” besides it. I tried doing a clean uninstall and reloaded Palm Desktop 6.2.2, but it still gives me the same error message. I tried looking for an updated device driver, uninstalling and reinstalling the device driver didn’t help either. Palm Support was unable to fix the problem. I then tried restoring the notebook to the factory condition, and reinstalled Palm Desktop; same error message; Palm device driver still has a “?”. I called HP Tech support. They had me update the Bios and update Vista to Service Pack 2. Still has the same problem. This is driving me crazy! Any ideas???
Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

The system doesn't allow me to browse to PalmUSBD.inf or any other specific file name. It only allows me to browse to the subfolder USB_Driver. When I tried to key in the file name C:\Program Files\Palm\USB_Driver\PalmUSBD.inf and click next I'm told "The location you specified does not exist or cannot be reached."
I tried uninstalling the driver, then reconnecting to another USB port; driver seemed to install successfully, but then still has "?" and doesn't work. I am not using a USB Hub.

Ultranav device driver vs. Standby

Hi,
everytime I try to switch in the standby mode an error appears:
"The device drive for the 'IBM ThinkPad UltraNav Pointing Device'
device is preventing the machine from entering standby. Please close
all applications and try again. If the problem persists, you may need
to update this driver."
So I closed the applications and installed the latest version of the driver, but nothing changed.

Ok I fixed it. It was the fault of the PGPdisk driver.

Display driver error on my Equium A60-155

I have an Equium A60 - 155. I have been having consistent problems where I get a message saying that my the ati display driver has stopped working. I have downloaded the driver again and still no change. I have seen the blue screen of death several times but don't see it for long enough to read everything it says but it does mention the ati driver again.
Can someone PLEASE tell me what to do!
It's driving me crazy!

Blue screen of death usually indicates two things: corrupted or badly written drives or faulty hardware such as memory.
Firstly I would start by testing your System RAM for this I would recommend a program called memtest86 - http://www.memtest86.com/
If your RAM has passed then the problem maybe driver or hardware related. Unfortunately resolving BSOD problem can be a real pain so it might be worth considering using the product recovery DVD just make sure you backup all your personal files because this procedure will destroy all data.

Install Windows 7 USB Load Drive A required CD/DVD drive device driver error

I am trying to do a fresh install on a brand new laptop. I have downloaded a couple of Windows 7 iso images. I have used DiskPart to prepare my USB device and have used the Microsoft usb iso tool to put the Win7 iso image on to the USB device. I always seem
to get stuch after I click Install it quickly comes up with a problem.... Load Driver - A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now... I am installing from a USB drive
so why does Windows require a CD/DVD driver? How do I get Windows 7 to install?
I have read other forums were people have put it down to a corrupt download but I have tried with a couple of different downloads and same problem everytime!
Please help!
Thanks
Gavin

Hi,
This error message appears if the disk controller mode is incompatible during setup. And it can be caused by your CD/DVD drive may be incompatible with Microsoft’s AHCI driver. To work around this
issue, please go to BIOS and disable AHCI mode for your disk controller. You can change the AHCI mode to IDE or ATA mode instead.
It may also occur if the media is corrupted. Please visit the following link to rebuild the bootable USB stick for Windows Server 2008 R2:
Building a bootable USB stick for Windows 7/Windows Server 2008
R2
And please check the USB disk: put the USB disk in other machines and boot to see if it works.
Please make sure that the download files are not corrupted.

Create additional installer error code -12 file not found from device driver cd

I'm trying to build an installer for a project that includes several NI drivers - specifically NI-DMM. NI-SCOPE, NI-SWITCH, NI-845x, and a few others (MAX, DAQ, etc). When I build the software standalone (and only include the run-time engine), it works fine. However, when I try to build the installer with the additional installers (mentioned above), the build prompts me for device driver cds, and then fails. Specifically, it fails on the February 2006 Device Driver cd. The error is attached below.
I have tried
- repairing all the installations of the software mentioned
- using a new project and re-adding the files
- building the additional installers seperately (no source code installed)
- copying the driver cds to the harddrive and referencing them there when needed
The next step will be to reinstall all of those drivers from scratch, but I really would prefer not to. Does anyone have any ideas (or solutions) regarding this problem?

I have had this happen a lot espescially with LV 8.0 -8.20. What I had to do was take the device drivers CD and copy it to the and run the installation of the software from the copy on the hard disk.
When you build an exe with additional installers it looks at the last place that you installed the drivers from. Anyway it worked for me so it might work for you.
