Satellite L655-1E3 keeps restarting in an infinite loop

Hello,
It seems that I have installed to my Satellite L655 1E3 a non suitable BIOS update. My laptop now is never reaching the Windows startup and keeps restarting in every 3 seconds roughly after showing the Toshiba screen.
What I tried to do is to install again my Windows, by putting the Windows CD : not working when booting to the CD/DVD
I still have access to my data which are in the hard drive disk when I took it out from the laptop and made a transfer on other hard disk.
Can you please help me and suggest me some ideas to do?

> It seems that I have installed to my Satellite L655 1E3 a non suitable BIOS update.
Im wondering how this would be possible as far as I know if you would try to update the BIOS using not compatible version, the BIOS update procedure would be interrupted and it would not be possible to flash the ROM module.
Therefore I dont think this might be the case.
However, you said you see the Toshiba splash screen.
Question: are you able to access the BIOS pressing F2 buttons?
In case this is possible, set the BIOS to default settings and try to boot up the unit again.
In case this is not possible, remove the AC adaptor and the battery.
Press and hold power button 30 sec long. Then connect both parts again and try to power up the unit.
Good luck and feedback would be appreciated

My Satellite M45-S169 Keeps restarting

I just got my computer [Satellite M45-S169] back from a friend who had it for 2 weeks and when i turn my computer on and it starts to load but then gos to the "we apologize for the incovenience, but Windows did not start properly" page. So i hit F8 and go to advanced settings and disable the restart on system failure. It starts to load but stops half-way and then goes to so weird blue screen that says
STOP: c0000218 {Registry File Failure}
the registry cannot load the hive (file):
\SystemRoot\System32\Config\SOFTWARE
or its log alternate.
It is corrupt, absent, or not writable.
Beginning dump of physical memory

Contact your system administrator or technical support group for further assistance.
I NEED HELP!!!

Bad news. The Software hive is a vital branch of the registry. Without it, Windows will not run.
Unless you had provided in advance to restore the registry, you would need to be especially proficient technically to recover from this.
How to recover from a corrupted registry that prevents Windows XP from starting
You will probably need to restore the hard drive to an earlier state.
Do you need to access important files first?

Satellite A60-108 keeps restarting

I turniend it on this morning and it will load to the xp log on screen and then restart its self. Then it will keep doing the same thign over and over.

Hello
As far as I know if the system has got a malfunction then it tries to reboot the unit.
You can disable this function under:
Control Panel --> System --> Advanced --> Startup & Recover.
Check if the option Automatically restart is not marked
Bye

Keep writing myself into infinite loops please please help

ok i figured out the computations for my previous post but now i created a test table in my database with an even number of values to add to the array so when i try to detect wether the value for the median is an integer it should use the other formula but instead it never reaches it. Could someone please give me some insight on what i'm doing wrong this is killin me haha...Thanks ahead of time for any replies
HERE"S THE CODE
//FIND MEDIAN EXAM GRADE
for(int j=0; j<n; ++j)
        if(Math.abs(j - Math.floor(j))<1.e-10)
          j = (n+1)/2;
          medianGrade = (s[j-1] + s[j+1])/2;
     else
          medianGrade = s[j];
System.out.println("medianGrade: " + medianGrade);
//FIND 90TH PERCENTILE
for(int j=0; j<n; ++j)
     if(Math.abs(j - Math.floor(j))<1.e-10)
          j = s[((n+1)*(90/100))];
          ninetiethPercent = (s[(j-1)] + s[(j+1)])/2;
     else
          ninetiethPercent = s[j];
System.out.println("ninetiethPercent: " + ninetiethPercent);


It's a considered extension for Java 1.8. It means
that the code in question is not VB. You may not
think this is important now but when you see the
changes planned for 1.7 it will make more sense.(but
I've said too much now and must return to hidingout
in my reinforced igloo)hahahah..... ;DDon't laugh! Coming in dolphin...
class Test {
   int monkey; // With getter/setter
Test t = <test><monkey>5</monkey></test>;Eep.
PS thanks toi the user I know who posted this on their blog originally after discovering this at Java UK this year but whom I did not credit because I am not sure they want the notoriety

Satellite P300 keeps restarting itself after initial start up screen.

My Satellite P300 keeps restarting itself after the initial start up screen.
The initial start up screen with the F2 & F12 options at the bottom appears, the screen then goes black, then a cursor appears in the top left hand corner and flashes a couple of times. Then the laptop shuts down and restarts itself and goes through the same process over and over.
This is all with the power adaptor plugged in. If unplugged, it will go through the above mentioned process and shut itself down with no restart.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Problem with sound on my new Satellite L655-1FO

Hello
I bought a new Toshiba Satellite L655-1FO before 5 days , I install all driver on XP an my sound work ok , but today I connect my headphone and I didnt hear sound like music just some scratch sound and when I disconnect my headphones , there was no more sound from my PC .
I restarted but the problem stay. Whats happen with my pc , is it broken?
I need to know because I have 7 days to back it and get new or to contact with service?
Thanks

You must understand that nobody here can say for sure if something is broken or not. We an just speculate what the problem can be.
I recommend you to install WXP one more time to see if this issue will be fixed. If not contact your local dealer and ask for replacement.
In the headphones port there is small switch that disable internal speakers when external speakers are connected. Maybe this switch stuck somehow. Who knows?

An oc4j instance keeps restarting itself.

Hi there,
We have a issue that an oc4j instance is keeping restarting itself. It will stop, start, and as soon as it's started, it will stop again like an infinite loop.
Is there any one experienced this and please share some insight about this problem.
Thanks,

Hi lara7705,
I'm sorry to hear about the issues with the new device. Try to press the power button until the phone vibrates 3 times. This is equal to taking the battery out. No data/settings lost
Observe if this happens when some particular application is open. If you notice a pattern, delete this application and see it makes a difference.
First of all please make a backup with Nokia Suite. Type in *#7780# followed by lock code (default is 12345). This is soft reset, no data lost but settings will be restored to factory state.
You can also reinstall the phone software. The process is the same as when updating with Nokia Suite, but at the end select "Reinstall".
If it's still the same, type in *#7370# followed by lock code. This is hard reset, phone memory will be wiped so make sure you have the backup. Restore the back up. If not all applications are restored, please re-download them from Nokia Store > My Stuff.
Hope the phone starts working normally.

Problem with updating bios toshiba satellite l655-s5144

Hello first of all having a good day, four months ago a problem with my laptop toshiba satellite l655-5144 I have something crazy ,happens that when starting Windows 7/8 freezes there and I can not access windows, I thought it was an error of hdd, but I think I'm surprised that it is not, since changing the hdd and still gives the same problem of being paralyzed in Home windows, all this began to update the BIOS to version 2.8 that turned out to be the operating profit that was for windows 8, not sure if this is due to the problem but I've tested the ram, hdd, cpu, etc and everything about the hardware works well and gives no problems, I think that the problem was caused by updating the BIOS to version 2.8, my question is whether you can return to the factory version was 2.2, or at least the previous version to 2.8 which was the one I worked thanks for your answers and spend time helping me, is the agradesco much.
And sorry for my bad English.
Solved!

3. Insert the CD from the boot.
4. Upon resumption of the program ran hidden PC (that I saw no message)

Well I hope this problem the laptop again, and thank you for deigning to read at least my problem.

Computer freezes/hangs - Satellite L655

I have a Satellite L655 AMD Phenom(tm)quad core processor II P960. 64-bit. 4 gb ram. 1.80GHz (Windows 7)
..about 4 years old now..
I shouldve made this aware way back when it started because it wouldve made it a hell of a lot easier.
For about a year or more now everytime i log and get on the internet, play games, use microsoft word, ANYTHING. My connections starts to "Hang" (not responding) and turn up a white screen for about 5 minutes. this happens about 5-10 times an hour, literally. not even joking. about every 5-10 minutes this happens and it annoys me so much. I've ran many computer scans, gotten rid of malware/adware, boosted performance speed, run ccleaner and defraged it. always automatically install windows updates. EVERYTHING. the problem still isnt solved. I use chrome as my current internet browser and i frequently delete the history, cache, and cookies. Even as im typing this my browser started to hang, for a stunning 8 minutes! Im on the brink of throwing my laptop out the window.
I believe it may be a program i have installed a while back that i dont remember which, i dont know. maybe something like a third party add on from a program thats doing this but i just want it resolved.
THANKS!

Tristen,
Please provide the full model number of your computer. It is printed on the bottom.
You can try to restore your computer to an early restore point and see if you can restore your computer to a time before the problem began. If this doesn't work, the best way would be to run in safe mode and see if you can reproduce the white screen. If you can't, than it is likely being caused by conflict from some program that you have installed previously. You could try uninstalling things one at a time, or just restore your computer back to out-of-box state and start all over.
I like to do a restore to out-of-box about once a year to keep clutter from building up on my computer. Of course I save everything first (personal files, bookmarks, etc.) so I don't have to do that all over again.

Equium A60 keeps restarting after ATI Graphics driver installation

I have installed ATI graphics driver from Toshiba, but when I restart the laptop, it won't boot up, keeps restarting just before surposed to go onto windows XP. Please help.

i have the same problem. It looks like graphic card stopped working in SVGA mode, it is possible to boot Windows by enabeling VGA mode or choosig save mode on F8 screen. Reinstalling drivers didn`t help. Even reinstalling Windows didn`t help:(
blue "screen of death" shows this

L355-S7812 Keeps Restarting on it's own

I'll try make this as concise as I can.
My laptop restarts on it's own. Often times right after I wake it up from sleep and other times completely randomly. I had replaced the hdd recently so I thought it might of been a bad hdd but then I switched back to the old hdd and it still does it. Then I thought it could be a bad bios battery cause I was losing time for a while about a year ago. While changing out the soldered bios battery I broke one of the solder spots off so I'm dealing with that right now, but it still runs. I just have to change the date and time often. I ran Memtest86 for a couple hours with no errors aswell and there are no exclamation marked devices in device manager.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I would suggest fixing the issue with the BIOS battery, to rule that out as a suspect. I have 4 L355 motherboards sitting here, so I just took a look at one. If the lead is broken, you should be able to recreate it with a piece of wire easy enough. While you have the system open, clean the thermal paste off of the CPU, and apply fresh high quality thermal paste, like arctic silver.
Hopefully one of those items will resolve your issue.

Applescript quit infinite looping when restart/logout/shutdown

recently I have a infinite looping applescript, and I save the is script as a "app", and running it on my macbook.
my problem was when every time I want to restart the OS, it keep saying my app can't be quit, and I have to force quit.
Anyway to write the script auto detect the shutdown/logout and restart, so there I can use the "quit" handle.
on quit
continue quit
end quit
repeat
end repeat

There exists, however, a very inelegant solution: using two stay-open apps at the same time, as follows:
App_1
global flag
set flag to false
on quit
      set flag to true
end quit
repeat
      if flag then exit repeat
end repeat
continue quit
App_2
on quit
      try
            tell application "System Events"
                  set frontmost of process "App_1" to true
                  delay 1
                  keystroke "q" using {command down}
            end tell
            delay 1
      end try
      continue quit
end quit
I'm sure though someone else will find a very simple and elegant solution.

Satellite L655 Stuck in Startup Repair mode

My laptop is stuck in Startup Repair mode. A blue bar has been crossing the screen for over 24-hours with a dialogue that says, "Repairing disk errors. This might take over an hour to complete." If I try to cancel, I get a pop-up message that says, "The current repair operation cannot be cancelled." Shutting down using the buttom and restarting takes me back to the same screen. Shutting down, and using F-8 takes me to the same screen. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to escapte from this "loop"?

Which Satellite L655? There is a label on the bottom.

Satellite L655-S5150 Poor connection to wireless on Battery after BIOS update.

Hi Folks, New to the Forum. Sorry if this was previously covered; however need help.
Brand new Satellite L655-S5150. Updated BIOS and Eco via Toshiba Bulletin board a few days ago and have experienced wireless connection cutting in and out. Noticed it only happens while on battery power. Tried changing driver power options with no luck(I did not restart after making this change) and then changed back to default. Is there a fix for this? Should I roll back BIOS? Should I return for another PC?
Any help is appreciated.
Alex
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I am not sure what is going on? I have the same laptop. I have flashed my BIOS twice. I am not sure what to say. I have never had any kind of problems with anything. I bought a Cissco ethernet router that handles all bands. I hooked the router up to comcast turned the laptop on and all was done. Get this, then I bought a LexMark 3 all in one printer. Set it up turned it on and started printing with no cables used, wireless. Deal is I have been working with computers for 20 years. The other deal, if I am not infront of the computer that is having problems it is hard for me to tell what is going on. I just don't get it. You should be able to plug it in and go for it. If you have questions I will do my best to answer them. Maybe if I can talk one through it it can be passed on.
