Satellite L850: Playing a Game - holding spacebar freezes cursor

Got my first Toshiba with my first Windows 8 experience so IDK.
But, I play some games where the spacebar its needed to play the game, holding spacebar and double clicking on a map it allows u to select whatever u want. With this Satellite L850-1P9 I cant do it, holding spacebar freezes the cursor.
Any idea?
Thks

> the problem is in, or because Im using windows 8
So in such case you will need to use Win 7
> or because notebook, cause the spacebar as the function of zoom + to.
Usually the notebook supports function buttons.
The space bar is one of such button which provides additional functionality.
Usually this happens if you press Fn + Space bar.
But you can also disable this function in BIOS (Advanced -> System Configuration)

could be overheat since the computer also shuts down

Satellite L750 freezes playing some games

When I am playing "Gardens of Time" and other games.
After a while the cursor freezes and I have to restart the laptop.
The problem doesn't occur with general computing tasks such as e-mails etc.
I have made sure that the Laptop isn't over heating by using the unit on a hard surface with the vents clear.
Any ideas?

Hi
Maybe the notebooks internal temperature is not too high in order to trigger a automatic shut down but the high temperature could affect the memory modules which cause the game freezing.
At the other hand the game would not run properly due to the old display driver but I think its more temperature related issue. The heat dissipation is much higher playing different games and this sets the temperature to a higher level.
Did you try to clean the cooling fans? You should definitely check this!
I clean the fans using compressed air spray.
Dust and debris could affect the air circulation and this one of the reasons why the temperature goes up

Satellite L850-1V0 - Fan error popped up whilst I was playing a game

I recently got an error that popped up whilst I was playing a game, it said that the cooling fan had a problem and that I should shut it down immediatly and send it for service.
This is the first time I have had this, and I have a program called Speccy that tells me the temperature for my computer and all these other things, the temperature is at its normal level and I have never had anything saying to me I had a fan error before.
For safety I changed the battery from Balanced to ECO which dropped the temperature a little bit, I put my hand on the battery and it isn't even all that hot, I can hear the fan and I can feel something blowing out of the air vents.

Well, it looks like it was only false alarm.
Usually the notebook would shut down automatically in case of high temperature. This is kind of internal overheating protection.
Anyway I would recommend you to monitor the temperature level and to keep eye on the cooling fans.
Furthermore check if new BIOS is available. If new BIOS has been released, try the update.

Freezing up while playing a game

so i recently i got this problem and i i don't know how to fix it. My problem is that when I am playing a game such as call of duty, vindictus and heroes of newerth it'll work fine for a few minutes then the screen like flickers once and then the whole computer would freeze and nothing responds. So then i have to force shutdown by holding the power button and after i do that the computer wont start. It takes about 5-10 tries maybe to start, whenever it tries to turn on the number lock key light and caps lock key light both blinks 2 times before it turns off. I have a Hp Pavilion dv7-31069us is it possible to fix this?
If so then please reply to this Thank You.

Go to the Can I run this website. Select COD and find out. The software at the site will tell you what the shortcomings of your notebook are.
Most notebooks are ill suited for a modern game with extreme graphics. You might be abe to run it if you put the gam to its lowest graphics settings.
It is not currently a fixble issue. In a year or two perhaps it will be. Nvidia and ATI keep on promising to produce external graphics cards for notebooks. It just hasn't happened yet.

Freeze on blank screen with sound loop when playing steam games

Hi,
I would really appreciate some advice. I've been troubleshooting this problem without success,
Problem:
Playing games on steam*, at some point, sometimes 5 minutes in, sometimes 2 hours in:
- Screen goes blank,
- last sound loops continuously,
- computer completely unresponsive, requires hard shut down
- On restart I get almost the same report every time, though sometimes it referes to CPU 0 and sometimes CPU 2, a sample:

* This also happened one time when using photoshop
What I have tried:
- updating steam and OS X
- closing all apps besides steam
- disabling Vsync in the games
- running games in very low quality
- updating to latest flash beta (steam uses flash for in-app advertising)
- reinstall steam and redownload and reinstall games
- verify and repair disk within OS
- SMART check, RAM test, Video memory test with TechTool Pro, all Pass
- removing peripherals ie. Microsoft bluetooth mouse
- hardware test with OS X install DVD on reboot, detects no problems
- stressing the GPU doing intensive 3D effects in Adobe After Effects, no crash
- stressing GPU using CINEBENCH, no crash
- monitoring temp with Temperature Monitor, Last crash GPU was at around 80 and CPU at around 85
System

*Other points*
- Machine is still under 1 yr warranty
- I'm overseas studying design and I really cant afford to to take it in and not have a machine for 2 weeks. I'd really like to exhaust all options before taking it in. I'm also worrying that they will run the hardware test as I did and tell me: no problems found.

I'm so ****** off that it's been weeks and no solution has been provided for this. In the middle of video editing, watching quicktime videos, youtube, or playing any games the computer hard freezes with a black screen and looping audio of about 1/2 second.
FIX IT!

While playing a game my iphone went completely frozen, it does not respond to any input, not even to holding down the on/off hey. Any ideas?

Try a reset. That is holding the sleep/wake and home button together until you see the Apple logo and release. That will reset the iPhone, but will not affect your data.
Thanks! It worked just fine!

Can't play to Second Life with a Satellite l850 1rz

If anybody could help me I would be grateful... I tried to play Second Life with my new laptop Satellite L850 1rz and the viewer says that the drivers of the graphic card (AMD Radeon 7670M) are not installed properly, are out of date or the hardware it's incompatible (it shouldn't be by the requeriments).... I tried to install the newest drivers from the amd page but it don't let me... Could I fix it?? and (if yes) how??
(I still don't know if the graphic card will cause me more problems, I just recieved the laptop )

That doesn't appear to be a US model, and this is the forums for Toshiba USA. You may want to contact Toshiba in your region. If it's a European model, you could check the Toshiba Europe forums.

Satellite L855-10P - Sudden shutdown playing 3D games

Hello,
When trying to play 3D games, after more or less time playing, often less than 10 minutes, my Satellite will suddenly shutdown. Afterwards, it can't be booted up again before some time.
This sort of symptom is generally due to overheat, a common problem with Satellite laptop (and by the way, this is probably the last Toshiba I buy since they can't seem to get that fixed).
The usual solution is to remove dust from inside the laptop, for example with a gentle vacuum cleaner.
It is impossible to do correctly without opening (and voiding the warranty) since they didn't put an access to the fan and heatsink, put can help once in a while.
On this model however, the exhaust is block by a grid (part of the heat sink I suppose, which makes sense) and on the intake, the fan is blocked so that it can't turn in the opposite direction, meaning it is almost impossible to s*ck the dust. Result: almost impossible to remove dust. Well played.
So normally I would send my laptop back for "repair" (which is just opening the thing to remove the dust and maybe redo the thermal paste, but you can't do that yourself of course), but in this case I noticed it shutdown really quick.
I can leave it on a 2D game or old low quality 3D games (say Supreme Commander in low quality mode) for hours without problem, even in hot weather, but as soon as I try a newer game (for example Resident Evil 6, even in low quality) it shutdown pretty fast and without feeling so hot.
So I am wondering if maybe this time it would be a problem with the graphic card/driver. Let's say something like a command than crash the graphic card.
I have a AMD Radeon HD 7670M with the driver version 8.932.5.3000 (the only one available for this computer and Windows 7 64 bits on the Toshiba website).
Is there a know issue that could cause the graphic card to crash or overheat more than expected with this model?
(If you wonder why I didn't wrote s*ck in full letter, it is because the profanity filter on this forum don't think it is a word that can be used in normal conversation.)

>When trying to play 3D games, after more or less time playing, often less than 10 minutes, my Satellite will suddenly shutdown. Afterwards, it can't be booted up again before some time.
To me it sounds like a GPU has operated at full capacity and produced lot of warmness leading to high internal temperature.
In my eyes the unit shut down due to the high temperature.
The notebook supports a kind of hardware protection. The unit will shut down automatically to prevent the hardware from damage.
Dust and debris might be one of the reasons why the parts cannot be cooled down properly.
>This sort of symptom is generally due to overheat, a common problem with Satellite laptop
This sort of symptom happens to all notebooks worldwide because of air circulation.
>I can leave it on a 2D game or old low quality 3D games (say Supreme Commander in low quality mode) for hours without problem, even in hot weather, but as soon as I try a newer game (for example Resident Evil 6, even in low quality) it shutdown pretty fast and without feeling so hot
Running games on low quality does not stress the GPU a lot and this lead to low heat dissipation and low temperature.
>Is there a know issue that could cause the graphic card to crash or overheat more than expected with this model?
I dont think so mostly such issues can be resolved by changing the settings within the windows power options (decreasing the CPU/GPU performance, change of cooling method) and of course within the game settings (low details, etc)

Firefox Freeze while playing online games

I have a gaming PC running Win8 pro 64bit
8GB of RAM
3.20 Ghz AMD Phenom 2 x6 1055T processor
ATI Radeeon HD 5670 graphic card.
Problem 1.
When I watch a video on a website or play an online game both using Flash, my mouse will drag. This only happens when I watch a video or play a game in Firefox 21.0. If I use different web browsers then I do not have this problem.
I reinstalled Flash but that didn't help me any.
Problem 2.
Under "Settings for Clearing History" all are checked but I cannot check "Download History".
I want Firefox to automatically clean the Download History when I exit Firefox but it will not do this.
It used to work fine until I updated my Firefox browser.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Satellite (Satego) P100 - Bug in Bios - Playing 3D-Games isn't possible !!!

_Hello,_
i have a very Problem with my Toshiba Satego (=Satellite) P100-491 Notebook.
Unfortunatelly the Toshiba repair service installed the bios version 4.7, after that I can't play 3D Games without strong fps-drops ! It's the common problem with the satego P100 class.
*The newest bios, version 4.7, is failing again!*
So I'm looking after a newer version, but there i still no one.
*The Toshiba Service isn't able to solve this porblem !!! Perhaps they could give me an older bios without this bug, is this possible?*
What should i do?????
(Is there anybody with an older version, for example 4.5, who could give it to me?)

Hi Ayce, i had EXACTLY the same problem, i'm guessing your using Vista.
The reason this being, is that the fan is not engaging when under extreme gpu loads (It's the GPU Fan.)
It's got NOTHING to do with the nVidia drivers, it's a bug in the bios when using Windows Vista.
I recommend installing the Toshiba Value Package for your Operating system,
I wouldn't recommend downflashing your bios UNLESS you know what you're doing.
To solve this problem, i had to downflash the bios to V4.2
You can easily find it on the web.

Satellite L750 - while playing a game or watch a movie sound card disables

hi
i have a problem with my sound card. while i play a game or watch a movie, it stops. the only way to enable the sound again is to disable and enable the speakers. my laptop model is L750-1LC and i have downloades the conexant sound driver fom the site of Toshiba.
can anyone help me with my problem please.
thanks

>the second thing is that when i disable the other 5 hd driver, the sound works, but when i reboot my system, it installs the other 5 drivers by its self.
The driver should be uninstalled in device manager!
I did it the same on my notebook Tecra A11. But my notebook supports Realtek HD audio driver instead of Conexant.
However, something similar happened to me too. The sound did not appear from speakers but through the headphones. I had to plug-in the headphones to the headphone jack and then remove the headphones to get this issue solved.
But this was really annoying and I decided to update the Realtek driver.
I uninstalled the sound driver firstly from control panel -> Programs & features
Then I uninstalled (click on uninstall driver) the Intel High Definition driver and Realtek HD driver from device manager.
Then I downloaded the newest Realtek driver version and installed this driver.
After new reboot the unit recognized the Intel high definition controller but the sound worked and the issue did not appear again

Satellite L850 - after 1 year of usage battery runs out quickly

Hi, through programs such as care or BatteryBar battery battery I see a Toshiba Satellite L850 *battery wear from 48%* currently. I notice that playing a game the battery runs out quickly, as the warm up by a lot, and often descalibra and behaves erratically.
The laptop is a year old. Is it normal for the battery to wear so much in so little time?
Would you accept a guarantee or battery replacement can claim wear caused by misuse?
http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/6976/4f7k.jpg

First of all you have to know that battery working time depends on the notebook usage.
Running heavy performance applications like a game would discharge the battery much quickly. Why? Because parts like GPU and CPU and cooling modules run at highest performance and this needs power.
Also using the notebook with highest display brightness would discharge the battery faster.
You should also know that every battery would start to loose own performance after about 500 charging cycles. This is nothing unusual and will happen to all batteries.
To avoid or to slow down this process, its recommended to calibrate the battery from time to time.
Calibrating means charging and discharging the battery fully.
Charge the battery until it would be fully charged, then disconnect the AC adaptor and keep the battery discharging until its fully empty. Repeat this procedure 2-3 times in the row.

Satellite L850 - external 1080p display problems

I had been running my Satellite L850 laptop via HDMI to an external monitor without problem for many months.
A couple of weeks ago I attempted to update the catalyst driver and have had problems ever since.
Basically now when I select 1080p mode via the catalyst control panel it makes the screen flash and have vertical lines.
Occasionally it will work for a short period, even up to an entire day and than it will randomly start again. I can play a game in 1080p mode and it will be totally random, sometimes allowing me to play for hours without having the black screen flashes whilst other times it will flash constantly and the only way to resolve is to either restart or pull out the HDMI cable and plug back in and cross your fingers you have enough time to reopen catalyst and change to 720P which is always stable.
I have tried:
1. Using the AMD Catalyst removal tool and reinstalling via the original factory default Toshiba catalyst drivers
2. Using System Restore to go back before I made the changes
3. Using the AMD Catalyst removal tool and updating to the newest version via AMD website.
4. Reinstalling my chipset drivers along with #1
5. Tried a different monitor (still happens)
On a side note every time I use the removal tool it removes my USB drivers also and I have to reinstall.
The current graphics driver is AMD Radeon HD 7670M and I have also tried the solution on the tech support forum here http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/item/781.
I have run out of options other than a complete format and reinstall which I want to avoid if possible. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Probably your problem has nothing to do with the picture issue mentioned in the technical document posted by MisterX.
I could read in your first post above, that this issue appeared exactly after the driver update.
> A couple of weeks ago I attempted to update the catalyst driver and have had problems ever since.
Are you 100% sure that the display driver update has caused this problem?
You have also mentioned that this issue does not appear always but sporadically and every once in a while.
From my point of few there are some open questions:
1) Is it really an graphic card driver problem or maybe an GPU issue?
If the issue did not appear in the past (before the GPU driver update) then yes: it could be related to the driver.
2) The notebook support also an Intel HD graphic card (its part of the Intel CPU)
I think you should check if the same issue would appear using the Intel GPU.
Try to uninstall the AMD driver (from device manager as well as from programs & features are within the control panel) and test it using Intel GPU only.
3) Last but not least test the notebooks video output with fresh recovered notebook. After the recovery the graphic card driver should be the same which you have used before the update.
