Thank you and i hope you can help me..

Hi dude
I would like to add some notice to msconfig:
msconfig should only be done by an advanced user who know what he is doing.
If the incorrect a service or statrup is stopped this may have sever consciences for the OS.
If you dont know exactly what single process is responsible for, then dont touch this.
But Ive got a tip for you;
You can also use google search function in order to get more details about the single processes.
I found very useful and interesting page about msconfig:
http://netsquirrel.com/msconfig/msconfig_win7.html
Now back to BIOS and windows booting time;
Are you sure that SATA settings in BIOS are set to AHCI?
Be sure that this is set to AHCI instead of compatible. If the option would be set to compatible then the HDD would operate much slower and this could be also a explanation for your issue.

  • Satellite C660-13R - Wireless and Ethernet do not work after format

    Hello there,
    I just formatted my laptop and I only get Internet connection with a usb wireless antenna...
    Neither ethernet, nor wireless seem to work. Before the format it worked fine.
    Here is the product
    http://www.toshiba.co.uk/discontinued-products/satellite-c660-13r/
    Please help with a solution...
    Should I consider death of the adapter and stop trying?

    Ok you have formatted your laptop but we don't know what have you installed and which OS version do you use.
    As I can see in notebook specification your notebook was delivered with preinstalled Windows 7. This original version (recovery image) contains all necessary drivers and every hardware component is installed and configured properly so everything should work well.
    It is very important to know what have you installed and what is teh status of communication devices like LAN and WLAN cards. If both devices are installed properly LAN should work without any limitation but WLAN card must be enabled and I don't see the reason why you should not be able to connect your machine using WLAN connection.
    If possible post some detailed info about preinstalled OS version and hardware status.

  • BIOS update problem with satellite C660

    I have a satellite C660, and was sent a ' ''BIOS update C660 Version 1.80'', but when I try and install it this message comes up:
    ''THE PROGEAM WILL BE CLOSED
    There is an erroroccured,please check the below items.
    BIOS version above 180
    Battery capacity more than 10%
    AC is attached''
    The AC is attached and there is also plenty of battery power, so what more can I do ?
    Solved!

    Hi Please post your full model number found on the bottom of your lap top. Does any one ever read any of the messages posted before posting a new message??
    Dokie!!
    IMHO if your not having a problem, you don't need to up date the BIOS. That is a very serious procedure and can end in a bricked PC if not done exactly right.
    Dokie!!

  • Satellite Pro L300 BIOS update problem

    Hi
    I've an Satellite Pro L300 (PSLBHE).
    I downloaded the new bios file and started the upgrade. A window appeared and showed the old and new bios version (v1.70 -> v2.20). About in 1 min. my laptop screen turned to black but HDD green light flashed and didn't anything about 15 mins. After I pushed the power button and the laptop shutdown. Now if I push the power button nothing happen just blank (black) screen and the HDD flashing light.
    What's the problem? What can I do? Please help me.
    gjon

    Problem is that BIOS update is screwed up now. Obviously BIOS update was interrupted and now the BIOS chip is damaged.
    What you can do now?
    Unfortunately not much. What you need is professional help so I recommend you to contact nearest Toshiba service and ask for help. Sorry.

  • Satellite L300 BIOS update problem: "That BIOS is not for your notebook PC"

    I got Satellite L300 notebook and I want to update it's BIOS (current v1.50), so I've downloaded bios update v1.60-WIN and when I run extracted PS10160M.exe file - I get a message that "That BIOS is not for your notebook PC".
    What I'm I doing wrong?
    ps: that BIOS update was automatically suggested after registration on Toshiba website via serial number.
    UPD: seems like autosuggestion fail: Manual search shows that 1.60-win bios update not suitable for Satellite L300 PSLBCE model. :-(

    Did you download the BIOS for the PSLBCE model?
    You cannot use the BIOS from other L300 models, for example PSLB0E.
    If you installed Windows yourself using a generic Windows Disc, you will need to install the Value Added Package from the Toshiba website. The BIOS Update requires the TVAP package to detect the machine properly.

  • Satellite M30-404 BIOS update problem

    Hi ppl
    I have problem with bios update, my notebook is 1.30 bios ver. and ill try update to 1.60 ver. over windows update becauseI don?t have floppy disk for traditional update. But dont work 4 me. Plz help ? Im try to update on 1.20 ver., reading in BIOS manual, but nothing hapend.
    Sry ppl for bad english :)

    Hi
    if You want to upgrade the BIOS from Windows, one critera have to be met.
    You have to have Common Modules installed in Your system. If Your windows is the Toshiba factory installation then Common modules should be installed.
    If not, please make sure You have it. You can find this software on the Tools & Utilities CD.
    If all fail, you can use the traditional BIOS update but write it as a boot track on a CD. (I will not go into detail on how to create a bootable CD).

  • Satellite Pro L300-152 Driver Update problems.

    Hi there, I'm new to all this and just about managed to find my way to this website. I bought a Satellite as above brand new from PC World Business yesterday 22/10/08.
    I had horrendous problems installing multiple Windows Updates which I eventually had to install one by one with a re-boot after each 'Important' update.
    I registered the laptop with Toshiba and now I am using Tempro I have 5 alerts telling me to install various updates ......
    _3 Firmware updates and 1 Face recognition update._ I have extracted the Zip files and run the progs and get a message saying 'This firmware is not compatible with the selected drive. Contact your system manufacturer for information on formware updates available for this drive'.
    1 Bios update which eventually ran with the help of Windows and then gave the message 'ROM date is not older than BIOS date .....' whatever that means.
    I just bought a laptop, I didn't volunteer to become a technical wizz.
    It feels like I'm doing Toshiba's job troubleshooting here, and I have no idea what I'm doing. Can anyone help me?
    Thanks, Glennis

    Hi buddy
    To be honest I dont understand why you react so panicly
    You received a notebook which has a preinstalled Vista OS.
    The point is that this Vista OS was preinstalled several days/weeks ago on your notebook and since then the Microsoft has published a lot of updates and therefore Vista downloaded and installed the updates. But dont wonder about further updates. From time to time to you will receive such hotfixes!!! This is a common OS behavior.
    Regarding the Tempro tool;
    This tool informs you about new available drivers, tools or utilities on the Toshiba page.
    To be honest I wouldnt use it. Usually its really not important what and when a driver a tool was released if your notebook is running trouble free. I follow always this recommendation; never change the running system.
    Hope I could clarify this.
    Bye

  • Satellite L630 dead after BIOS update

    Hi
    I have a problem with a Toshiba Satellite Laptop L630 model PSK00E-017019EN (UK model).
    A Toshiba software scan recommended a BIOS update and as I had been having some issues with the laptop I decided to let it run . . . bad mistake!
    The laptop will now not fire up into bios so is effectively dead.
    I have downloaded various versions of the Phoenix Crisis Recovery Disk (which will build a bootable USB flash drive with MINIDOS.SYS, PHLASH16.EXE and a generic BIOS.WPH) and have also downloaded the latest BIOS from the toshiba website.
    The downloaded Toshiba BIOS is an exe file SL630_L635_WIN_B140.exe which will extract to the following files using WINRAR (I have also tried picking up the files from %temp% after running the exe file with the same result).
    The files I get are:
    BB10140.FD (4170kb)
    Ding.wav (104kb)
    InsydeFlash.exe (764kb)
    iscflash.dll (1760kb)
    iscflash.sys (14kb)
    iscflashx64.sys (23kb)
    and platform.ini (9kb)
    I was expecting to see the actual bios in the form xxxx.rom or xxxx.WPH so that I could add this to the bootable flash drive to reflash the bios.
    So my actual question is, could someone point me towards where I can download the correct BIOS.ROM file for this laptop and also where I can obtain the correct version of Phoenix Crisis Recovery Disk software.
    Also could you confirm the correct key sequence to boot to the Crisis Recovery flash drive . . . I have seen mention of both FN F and FN B (both used without battery and whilst plugging in adapter and then power button) . . . the FN F routine seems to boot the Flash drive but obviously without the correct WPH file it will not solve the problem.
    Thanks
    Phil

    OK
    .... well contacting Toshiba support was about as much using as whistling in the wind!
    They had no knowledge of reflashing the bios, certainly could not send me an image for a crisis disk (even for a charge) . . . and their only suggestion was to have the laptop picked up for assessment and quote which would cost nearly 100 even if I didnt have it repaired. (I doubt if the laptop is worth much more than that)
    So back to the forums in the hope that someone might point me to the correct USB Flash drive flashing routine for this laptop!
    I have a feeling that the bootblock might now be damaged on the BIOS as it is now behaving differently if I try to flash the bios.
    If I put the correct "bios.fd" file on a USB stick and then use FN-F on power up (no battery installed) then the usb stick flashes once, machine powers up, stays on for about 10 seconds and then restarts back to the black screen.
    I have also tried (as suggested on one forum) putting all of the extracted files from the bios exe from Toshiba onto a stick + the FD file renamed as BIOS.FD . . . still the same result.
    I am close to sticking it onto Ebay as "spares or repairs" . . . HELP!
    thanks
    Phil

  • Satellite L300 (PSLB8E) - After BIOS update it doesn't boot again

    Hello there..
    Please help me to overcome this issue.
    I have downloaded the latest BIOS for my Satellite L300 PSLB8E. The previous BIOS was 1.90 but I was facing some nework related error so I thought upgrading BIOS may help to solve it. I have download a new BIOS which is exe file 2.10, its installed successfully and then shut down but never booted again. I have tried to boot it many time. I have tried all the keys. I can only see one power led and two battery light.
    I dont know what to do now. I have a recovery disk but it also not working. I'm stuck.Ii had a bunch of emails to reply I'm lost now.
    Please help me someone.

    Hi dhaval2000in,
    Unfortunately I think the case is clear: Something went wrong due BIOS update and now your notebook cant start anymore :(
    The Toshiba recovery disk will not help you because it doesnt contain any BIOS reflashing programs it contains only a recover image of Windows with all drivers and tools.
    In my opinion you have to contact an authorized service provider in your country to get rid of this because the guys have to reflash the ROM module.
    Im sure you can clarify this problem with the technicians and then you can use your notebook again :)

  • Satellite M40: Is failed BIOS update covered by warranty?

    Hello,
    I own a satellite M40. I had some problem with it, and tried to update the bios to see if it could solved it.
    I flash the bios with the windows based utility, but the computer shutted down without any warning.
    Now the notebook power up only 1s or 2, and then power off.
    I bought this Toshiba, 10 months ago. So, is a failed bios update outside of the warranty ?
    Thank you

    Hello,
    There is one last thing you can try if you want before taking it to your ASP. If you have a usb floppy drive, download the traditional BIOS update for your computer and ready the floppy. Once it is ready, plug the floppy to the computer. Hold down the TAB key and power on the notebook (some models have this safety feature in case of failed bios update) and see if the LEDs start blinking green and orange. If so, then it is updating the bios, once they are steady, then it is done and you can try turning it on normally again. If it does not work, then its time to take it to your ASP.

  • MSI z77a GD80 PCI-e running at 8x and Bios update problem

    Hi guys, first of all, sorry for my bad English, this is also my first topic, i recently bought a new PC, the spec is:
    i7 3770k @4,3ghz
    Corsair H80
    MSI z77a GD80 bios 1.2
    GTX 680 lightning
    8gb ddr3 1600mhz cas9 G.Skill
    1TB HDD WD Caviar Black
    Asus xonar DX
    The problem is, since the first bios, i can't run my PCI-E at 16x, i know when my card is idle the PCI-E goes to 1.1@4x , but when it's in use, it turns to PCI-E 3.0@8x   , I'm also waiting for bios updates to check if it solves my problem, but when i try to download the new version 1.3, the download fails ( I'm trying to download with Live update 5 )m is there somebody that can help me solve this problem pls?
    I've tried until now:
    Replace the card into the first PCI-E slot again
    Clear the PCI-E slot
    Update to bios 1.1 and 1.2 ( 1.3 is not even downloading )
    Set PCI Gen 3 from Auto to disable, and it keeps running with PCI-E 3.0@8x
    Thx for any help !

    Quote from: Froggy Gremlin on 18-November-12, 16:22:21
    As per the manual, the VGA must be in the primary slot to run 16X. BIOS setting for graphics 3.0 should be set to Auto.
    Do not use Live Update for BIOS updates. Too many borked boards are the result. Use the forum's USB method;
      >> Forum Flash Method <<
    Just curious. If I installed Add-on card that run at PCI-E 4X on 3rd slot (2nd slot is empty) what's configuration will apply ?

  • Re: Satellite C660-115 Very strange Wifi problems!

    I've been busy solving a wireless problem on a C660-115, still without success.
    Satellite C660-115
    Windows 7 - 64Bits
    The case:
    - Laptop is connected to the power supply: Wifi works fine, no problems
    - Laptop disconnected from power supply: Wifi won't work, although there sometimes seems to be a connection with the access point/wifi router.
    No internet/network communication
    - Laptop connected to the power supply --> wifi works, unplugging the power supply --> after a 1/2 minute or so, no internet connection...
    I tried to find a new driver, but we already use the latest version.
    Then i switched off the "This computer may switch of this device to save energy" function, without succes.
    Ideas anyone?

    I had same problem with C660 running windows 7 losing internet access but not network connection whilst using battery power, but no problems when connected to mains power.
    Solution; Change power plan to high performance. I found this sovlved the problem instantly.

  • Satellite C660 - Intel HD Graphics update issue

    Hello,
    sorry for my English level, I'm French
    I have an issue without solution with my Satellite C660 (for the moment i hope!) I downloaded the software google sketchup 8, dedicated to the architecture drawing, but it doesnt work, I always have a bug message informing that it is necessary to update de drivers of the graphic card (According to google support it seems that OPENGL functions should be implemented in the drivers of my laptop)
    So I have downloaded the last available drivers for the configuration I have ( Intel HD graphics for pentium, windows 7 64 bits) ;
    the link ( french website, the one for Intel is not currently available, it is an .exe document)
    http://www.touslesdrivers.com/php/constructeurs/telechargement.php?v_code=37057&v_langue=fr
    I have tried to manually update de graphic card driver with the device manager menu (graphics card > update the drivers button> manual file.exe selection ), but at the end there is no update, I only have a very quick message informing that windows has determinated that the drivers are already updated.
    Actually there is no changes on the drivers (still the same date of the pilotes 28/07/2010 in the graphics card properties) and sketchup is still out of work
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance

    Hello
    Thank you for the reply, the type of the laptop is the C660 2RG with windows 7.
    Regarding the Intel HD graphics I've tried to download it directly in Intel website but the appropriate file (name Intel HD graphics for Intel Pentium and Celeron Processors with Intel HD Graphics) is not available, when you click on itn you have a displayed screen which propose to scan you laptop in order to determinate your needs
    But even with this function you have at the end a message telling that the configuration is specifically done by the laptop builder and no action could be taken.
    To run the application Sketchup i need, the driver must support the OpenGL components (usually available in the graphics cards driver, but it seems that Toshiba configuation has been done without it)
    Thanks
