Satellite C55-A-1N1 and Windows 8 - i5 is not working

I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite laptop and it was working completely fine for the first two months. I used to shut it down using the power down option and everything was fine. Then, three days ago, it was taking extra long to power down. Normally it took about 2 minutes; this time it had gone 1 hour and it was still in the process of shutting down.
I was frustrated and held the power button down until the screen went dark and the laptop went off. The next day, I turned it on and it loaded up fine, however once it reaches the Windows 8 page, the screen turns blue and as if it refreshes itself and returns back the homepage. This happens every three seconds making it impossible to open any applications. I have checked if any buttons are pressed down and there aren't any that are and the laptop is fully charged. I have assignments due in very soon and getting work down is near impossible at the moment.
Any help will be appreciated greatly.
Thanks.

I don't know what is wrong there but what you can try is to reinstall original recovery image using HDD recovery option.
Instructions about repair and recovery you can find on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2A03ES0000R01.htm
Have you may be created recovery media (DVD or USB)?

  • Satellite P20: Fn+F5 and TV-button does not work

    Satellite P20, Windows XP SP2 keyboard problem.
    When I press Fn + F5, the computer does not show as earlier the different display options. TV button does not work also. I can change the different displays with my nVidia Display Driver.
    My keyboard is OK, there is no dust or fluids. I have newest BIOS update and Windows XP Service Pack 2. What program controls the keyboard functions in this case?
    How to repair this problem?

    Hello
    Obviously you have removed something or preinstalled your own operating system. Without Toshiba designed tools and utilities it will not work. I dont know exactly which of them are for doing this but please try to install Dritek Easy Button Util. /Sticky Keys V1.008, E-Keys Utilities and Toshiba Hotkey Utility.
    I hope it will help. If not please write again.

  • Satellite C55-A: F key for brightness is not working

    I have installed Windows 7 32bit in a (originally OS-free) satellite C55-A-1J9 notebook and I can't change the screen brightness.
    I have installed various versions of the required Value Added Package but none of them worked.
    Some didn't even map the Fn keys correctly from my keyboard to the control panel of this utility.
    The current version I have is the vap-20130916115251. The Fn keys are in the correct order but F2-F3 aren't working.
    What can I do?
    Cheers,
    Akis

    >The Fn keys are in the correct order but F2-F3 aren't working.
    Does this mean that ONLY FN+F2 and Fn+F3 dont work but other keys are do?
    I think case I think that this problem is not related to the Windows 7 Value Added Package
    Did you install the essential nVidia and Intel graphic card drivers available for the Satellite C55-A-1J9 PSCGCE series?

  • Satellite L305D-S5881: Touchpad and FN keys do not work after Win 7 installation

    I have recently installed windows 7 and all of a sudden yesterday my touchpad did not work.
    I was not able to move my mouse arrow at all.
    I had to purchase a wireless mouse so I could use my laptop.
    When I press the fn key plus f9 nothing happens to see if it is enabled or disabled.
    I have a satellite l305d-s5881
    thanks for your help

    Hi mate
    The Satellite L305D-S5881 belongs to the Toshiba US series and has been released for US market.
    You will need to visit the Toshiba US driver page in order to get all drivers.
    To get the touchpad working, you will need to install the Touchpad driver.
    Furthermore the FN buttons are controlled by VAP (value added package) and Flash Card Support Utility.
    You need to install both; firstly VAP and then Flash Cards.
    Here is the Toshiba US page:

  • PSE 11 and Windows 8: Organizer not working

    Hi!
    I have installed PSE 11 and PRE 11 on my pc, running windows 8 64 bit. The programs were already running fine for serveral days but suddenly the organizer wont work. As soon as i start the program it starts up and disappers some seconds later. I only can see it in task manager as a process running in the background! When I start the editor first and afterwards the organizer (out from the editor) then the organizer stayes and I'm able to work with. De- and Re-installation already done, several times. Nothing's changed. Pls help! Thx

    Try making a direct shortcut for the Organizer and Editor. Make sure you have the correct file path as there is more than one exe file. You can then launch the programs directly from the desktop bypassing the welcome screen. This is generally better as the welcome screen leaves background processes running.
    On Windows, Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
    Then click the browse button and navigate to:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 11 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
    Then click Next; then click Finish
      Then make a direct shortcut for the Editor in a similar manner.
    On Windows, Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
    Then click the browse button and navigate to:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
    Then click Next; then click Finish

  • Help New satellite c655-s5136, programs slow, window media player not working, and more

    I just bought this computer in January 2011 and had a lot of problems w/ it. 
    1) At first it wouldn't go on certain webpages. (for example I could get on gmail not yahoo). The help screen said it was the router or there were no issues. I had to look online (on a different computer) and find out I had to turn off all my plug in to get it to work.
    NOW
     I keep getting an RUNDLL error message every time I turn it on. Can someone tell me what that is?
    it says specified module could not be found: C:\user\Tashaun\appdata\local\upifitizoyiziyem.dll
    The internet and all offline programs are running really slow and they keeps freezing or shutting down on their own or won't come up at all
    Windows media player is completely messed up. My downloaded music won't go into the library. I have to make a playlist and put my songs in that. But yesterday I got some error message and half of my songs disappeared. I can't export the songs from the windows player either. I looked online and it all says the player is corrupted due to installation error when upgrading to windows 7. But I never upgraded to windows 7. It came with the computer. I tried some of the solutions anyway but I can’t delete wmdb file because windows said the media center was open, even though I used task manager and shut all programs off
    Should I have Toshiba look at the computer? I don’t know if it’s the computer or the windows 7 software. Except for having to disable plugins, the computer worked fine for a month.
    In addition, had Norton internet security on the computer since day 1. Tried Microsoft fix it program.  And fixcleaner

    With dll names like that, it looks to me like you've been hit by a malware. Doing recovery to out-of-box state is your easy way out on this.

  • Satellite A300 - dvd, usb and card reader will not work

    Help required please.
    Have a A300 Satellite laptop, running vista.
    Until a couple of weeks ago all good, then noticed the dvd/cd did not recognized and disc in it. The card reader cannot find anything on the card (and yes the card was full).
    The usb scanner is recognized as a external memory card and the other usb port does not fuction.
    I have not installed or cannot remember changing settings or doing anything out of the usually.
    Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.

    Hi
    Your posting is very confusing.
    > Until a couple of weeks ago all good, then noticed the dvd/cd did not recognized and disc in it.
    Well, there are many reasons for that; it could be possible that inserted disk is not fully compatible. Try different disks from different manufacturers.
    It could be also possible that laser lens of the ODD is dirty. In such case you could clean it using a cotton-wool tip and alcohol. In my case this helped.
    > The card reader cannot find anything on the card (and yes the card was full).
    Did you use a compatible card? The notebook handles these cards:
    SD Card 8MB - 2GB
    SDHC Card - 4GB
    xD picture card - 16MB-2GB
    Memory Stick - 8MB-256MB
    Memory Stick Pro - 256MB-2GB
    MultiMediaCard - 8MB-1GB
    miniSD (with SD adapter) - 32MB-2GB
    I would also recommend to format the card and to copy some files from computer and then to test this.
    You could also reinstall and update the driver for card reader controller...
    > The usb scanner is recognized as a external memory card
    Cannot believe that You should use a scanner software (should be provided with the scanner) and should test this device. By the way; mostly a scanner driver needs to be installed in order to use this

    It seems like system components corrupt, is there any error message when these tools doesn't work?
    Please check Event Viewer if it identify this problem.
    In addition, please try to use SFC /Scannow command to fix system file for test.

  • Cisco NAC Agent and Windows 8 still not working

    Hello. I recently upgraded the Cisco NAC Agent to the latest version (4.9.1.13) on a Windows 8 VM. The release notes state that Windows 8 support has been added, and that a patch must be downloaded. However, the information about the patch is vague. I'm not sure if it's a client or server-side patch, or perhaps if I already have it as a result of upgrading to the latest version.
    I ask this because I plan to upgrade some computers to Windows 8, and have noticed that Cisco NAC Agent can't handshake with the NAC server on Windows 8 (both native and VM), and despite upgrading to the latest version, the handshake is still unsuccessful.
    Thanks,
    -Collin

    Hi Collin,
    The 4.9.1 Patch for Windows 8 Support can be downloaded from the following link :
    http://www.cisco.com/cisco/software/release.html?mdfid=282910502&flowid=34713&softwareid=282573326&release=4.9.1&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=&reltype=latest
    The patch should be applied to both 4.9.1 CAM and CAS.
    Please go through the README file for patch provided in the download link provided above. It has detailed information.

    Helo there mark44o,
    It sounds like you are having some difficulty getting your phones synced to your PC with Windows 8 on it. If you are syncing in the manner outlined in the following article, would you mind ellaborating on what is happening when you try to sync?
