Satellite P200-143 shut down issues

When I shut down my computer, while on the mains, the computer shuts down normally but a minute later, automatically restarts.
However, on battery it shuts down as it should.
I've checked my power settings, and they are all fine.
So I was wondering if anyone knew what I could do.
I have been shutting down by keeping the power button pressed, as it seems to be the only way.

I have a problem with my Satellite P200-144. Every time I plug it into the mains, it lasts about twenty minutes, and then cuts out. The time period is always the same, and it only ever happens when plugged into the mains, it will quite happily run on the battery until it runs dry.

Satellite P305D-S8818 Shut down issue on video converting

Have Satellite P305D-S8818 for about 8 months and it is about 1 month on video converting using TMPGEnc 4.0 Xpress the notebook is shutting down every time after 5-10 minutes. But before this i didn't meet any problem like this.
I've installed new DIVX codec with player and thinking that problem can appear from it remove all components of DIVX from notebook but problem still persist . Can the shutting down appear from the heating of notebook ?

Hi Ivan
The blue LED in the "system indicator panel" is still on.
I can also hear the fan running, and would say that there is power to the LCD display as it is grey/black - if I then hold down the Power button for 5/6 seconds the display goes black and the blue on/off lights go out.

Satellite P200-1K8 - Shut down and make nothing

Good Evening,
I had my laptop plugged in on its charger and I was playing music on the media player. All of sudden the laptop completely shut down. No warning, the screen went black and there were no lights on what so ever.
I did buy another battery thinking it might be that but with no joy that didn't work either.
The running system is Windows Vista. This is the first time that I have had troubled with it. It has not been repaired in anyway before from new.
I hope there is someone out there that can help me please
Thanks muchly!
Rachael

Hi Raechel,
Thats really strange behavior...
And now you can do nothing or how to understand this?
If yes I think it seems to be a hardware malfunction but make sure that the AC/DC adaptor is connected properly. You can try it without battery to start your notebook.
But I think therefore you need professional help from an authorized service provider!!

Satellite P200-144 shuts down after wake up from hibernation mode

Sometimes when I resume my computer from hibernation, I come back to it (after going to make a cup of tea whilst it boots up, for instance) to find it off again.
I have since observed it more closely and discovered the following: if I resume from hibernation and do not touch the mouse or keyboard, the computer will load up Windows but then hibernate itself again immediately.
If I move the mouse pointer at some point whilst Windows is finishing loading the desktop, etc., then the computer doesn't automatically hibernate.
Has anyone else had this problem and is there a solution?

Thanks for your reply. I am, and always have been, running the latest BIOS. I have never experienced the issue with standby, but that is probably because of the way I use my computer -- with standby, I start using it immediately. I have not tested resuming from standby and not pressing any buttons or moving the mouse.
Have you tested it as I described, by not moving the mouse or pressing any keys when resuming from hibernation, or are you just recalling from memory that you have not experienced it?

Satellite Pro U200 shuts down after 5 mins then starts after a while

Satellite Pro U200 shuts down after 5 mins then starts after a while. When it shuts down the
blue screen says - stop: (0x0000008e,0xaa846f58,0xa9f29808,0x00000000)
sysaudio.sys - adress aa846f58 base at aa843000, datestamp 41107f1a

Hi
Believe me; its not easy to say exactly why the BSOD appears.
Generally it happens because of the serious software malfunction or hardware fault.
Did you use the OS from the Toshiba image?
There message says something about sysaudio.sys.
This file is a system audio WDM filter process and its a part of Windows OS. It controls the hardware like printer or graphic card on a lower level.
Note: The virus uses such files as a camouflage. You should use always a anti virus application.
Furthermore you have suggested that the notebook shuts down after 5 min.
Well, this sounds like a overheating issue. How did you use the notebook? You should know that the free space around the notebook is very important because of the air circulation. The ventilators should be also free.
I you use the notebook in the right position and this will happen again so I would recommend asking the Toshiba service partner for the help. They should check the notebook.

Satellite A210-1C0 - Shuts down automatically

Hi, Satellite A210-1C0 shuts down on its own.
It has done it after being on for a short time or after 2 days,
sometimes it shuts down and sometimes not.

*@silvasurfa*
> At all: I won't by me another Toshiba again. A company who is using these bad/cheap optical drives? No way. To use these poor/cheap stuff and act like: no firmware/support, ask the manufacturer and the manufacturer say, of course, ask Toshiba... is this a way to threat customers?!?
That's your personal opinion but I don't agree with you... I've got my second Toshiba notebook and never had any problems...
But try other notebooks from different manufacturers and you will see that you will not be free of any hardware problems...
I know what I'm talking about... I used and tested notebooks from different manufacturers and had to fight always with some issues...
*@gommie48*
Finally some words regarding your issue:
Should clean the ventilators using an compressed air spray and should remove some dust and debris usually this helps to decreases the internal temperature.
Furthermore you should ensure that the ventilators are free!

Toshiba Satellite A300-20T shuts down after 5 seconds!!

my laptop satellite A300-20T shuts down after 5 seconds of booting , i dont know why ?? and i searched for support in the website and didn't find it in the model list, also i don't know why ???!!
i want to know why it shuts down , and how can i communicate with support

Yours would not appear to be a US model. We need the Part Number for your laptop, like PSAG8U-05K02C. You can find this on the Toshiba label on the bottom of your laptop. As well, what country was it originally purchased in. In addition, what is your operating system version, like Windows Vista 32bit?

Can I creat a new shutdown setting.. scince the registry got erased?? It was proberly.. Spybot or adware that erased it... thats the only was i could explain this.
So what are my option? re-install windows? or creat a new shutdown setting??
Greez Steph
If you are not bothered by the shutdown problem, then you should leave it alone.
If you are willing to risk and re-installing doesn't takes up your time then you can try altering the registry.
If you think that you are already being bother by many other problems rather than this and you have the time to do a clean shave, by all means go for full format as a housekeeping.

Random shut down issue

So I have a Macbook 13" 1.83 Ghz Core Duo, running 10.6.2 with 2gb of (user installed) RAM. Minus a defective battery issue last year (the battery swelled to the point where my trackpad wouldn't work) which apple replaced for free out of warrantee, I have had no issues.
Out of the blue, I've been experiencing random shut down issues of sorts. If I have the computer plugged in it works fine. Sometimes though, the computer will randomly shut down after being unplugged. I tried reseting the SMU but it didn't seem to do anything.
Another odd thing - I calibrated the battery with the computer on an incline on my desk to keep it cool in case it was an issue of over heating. The computer charged fully, and then drained it's charge to 0% and went to sleep as it should.
But once I charged it up about halfway again, unplugged it, and put it on my lap, it shut off within 2 minutes. I'm well out of my warrantee so any user suggested diagnostic tips would be appreciated! I've included the battery info for good measure (btw the battery is not even a year old).

Hmm, your battery is fairly healthy.
Is your fan running?

My Satellite laptop (A305) shuts down when run on the AC charger/adapter

The problem is that my Toshiba _A300 series laptop (A305) shuts down when you try to run it on the AC charger/adapter_. You can boot it with the power cord plugged in and it will get to Windows Desktop and maybe a few minutes more at most before shutting off.
It will boot and _run from battery without problem_, but if you plug in the AC while it is up and running on battery the machine will normally click off instantly and reboot to the message "Windows was not shut down correctly."
The _AC adapter works fine_ reading a steady 19.19 to 19.20 volts with a voltmeter. It also _charges the battery fine when the computer is off_. I have two Toshiba brand batteries and they both work fine.
One interesting thing is that the _computer runs fine on AC when in safe mode_.
I _did a reformat/factory restore_ of Vista to assure it was not software and drivers, and still got the same problem before any external devices had been plugged in.
It has the latest BIOS and I tried resetting it to default values in case anything had gotten changed. It made no difference.
This is _not a heating issue_ because _while it is run on battery I can watch long videos_ without it shutting off. I ran compressed air through the vents just to make sure, but it makes no difference in behavior. Usually with an overheating shut-off, the computer cannot be started until it has cooled some, but these shutdowns are accompanied by an instant reboot.
I have seen on some threads that this type of problem one can work around by disabling one of the processors in Device Manager, but I don't think that is much of a lasting solution or good for the computer.
Has anyone seen this problem before and have you come with a full diagnosis of the problem and a real solution?

I have Satellite A300 and until now everything works OK.
I would like to know what happen when you remove the battery and use notebook with power supply only. Does notebook shuts down again.
If not let OS run and put the battery.
Is the battery recognized properly? Does notebook switch off again?
To be honest I cannot imagine this issue has something with software or background processes. Recovery image you got with your notebook is designed for this certain notebook mode. Recovery image is tested and I dont think preinstalled OS has anything to do with this.
Full diagnosis?
And how to do this? You know very well that diagnosis can be done with diagnostic tools only and such tools have services only. I hope you will find answers but Im 99% sure there is nothing you can do about that. Maybe you should contact service, explain the situation and ask for help.

Satellite P20-S203 shuts down suddenly

Hi,
In the last month my Satellite P20-S203 is not behaving so well, and unfortunately it seems the problem is a hardware one (but I'm not sure, and that's why Im writing here)
The computer just shuts down suddenly (it happened 2 or 3 times in the last 30 days); all the times it did happen I was on the web on Firefox, but I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with that, and I'm also 99% sure it's not a virus, malware or anything like that, cause I formatted about 3 months ago, and nothing else behave in a strange way, the computer is not slow or anything like that.
The last two options are that the issue may be of hardware nature, or of a software one (like a conflict between installed programs and the OS); I'm more for the first one, but I'm not sure and I need help to find out... What should I do?
Also, when it suddenly shuts down, it won't turn on with the first try.
It needs like 10 or 20 times to open, like an old car that doesn't start; the first, say, 5 times I try to turn it on, it will only display the toshiba logo.
Then it passes through a screen I cannot read because it's too fast.
Then to a black screen and finally it turns off again.
With the next tries it goes a little bit more far, like it displays the windows logo, but, as that picture fades in, it stops at half of the fading process, resulting in a darker windows logo, like it's too hard for it to load the OS!!
But then it goes off again!
Then after some other tries it finally loads windows.
Any help would be highly appreciated, thank you!
OS: Windows XP SP2

No it's ok Jayjay, I purchased this morning the right screwdriver (here in Greece these type of screws are called "French" or most internationally "torx" screws).
So I took away the cover above the fans, unscrewed the heat sink, removed the heat sink and together with that the cpu came up. I've now removed the old thermal grease and I'm ready to put the new one.
I like to mess around with things, I like to assemble and disassemble, I like to know how things work...but I also know, thanks to my personal experience, that there's no way not to make any damage when you mess around :) but that's ok with me, I' m used to it, as soon the pc will open once finished :D
Anyway, I have to admit that if I worked with a little more method now everything would be ok, like making a map of the screws, knowing where to put them back, because now two screws on the back won't mount any more (precisely the F6 screws on the back panel, where the usb, vga and parallel connectors are), and two more screws are in excess (!) If someone has the time to do it, please unscrew just these two screws (the F6 on the back) and post a photo of the screws, or just tell me the height, even if I'm sure that the problem is elsewhere.
Goodbye

Satellite A30-921 shuts down after 10 mins

I own a Satellite A30-921 but it shuts down after 10 mins.
I've tried to alter the toshiba power management settings but they wont work any ideas ?

Does the notebook shut down automatically without showing any error messages?
This could be caused by an overheating issue!
How old is your notebook and did you clean the cooling ventilators in the past?
If not I would recommend doing this.
To clean the ventilators you could use the compressed air spray which can be purchased in most computer stores.
The problem is that the dust and debris inside the notebook prevents the cooling modules from properly working and therefore the temperature increases to the higher level. This leads to the automatically shuts downs.
In my opinion the fans cleaning could helps to solve this issue.
Bye

Screen turns blue and Satellite C850D-11Q shut down

I bought a Satellite C850D-11Q runnings Windows 8 from Curry's in the UK for my daughter just before Christmas- was a very good price under 300- however she says that she will be browsing on the internet and or doing a variety of other tasks (no particular process seems to be implicated) and suddenly the screen will turn blue and the computer will shut down and reboot for no apparent reason. It has done this at least 30 times in a month.

BSOD means that there is either an hardware problem or serious software issue.
The BSOD can be caused by high temperature as well as RAM problems.
So its not easy to say what cause the BSOD.
Ensure that notebook is cooled properly.
Furthermore if temperature is not the problem, try to recover the system using the recovery options described in user manual and in this document:
+Windows 8 Recovery & Repair+

Satellite P755D repeatedly shutting down.

The model is P755D-S5378. This has been happening since about two weeks after I bought the computer, and is happening with increasing frequency. At this point I cannot use the computer because it will shut itself down within a few minutes of starting up and booting windows. Occasionally it will not shut all the way down, but will put itself into sleep mode and bring itself out a few minutes later. When this happens, the computer will load back up but the screen never comes back on, forcing me to restart. The shut-down is happening 5 or 6 times a day at this point, and doesn't seem to be tied to any particular kind of usage - usually I'm browsing the internet, but sometimes it will shut itself down just after powering on, before I've opened any programs. I've tried removing the battery for 30 seconds, but the behavior persisted. I don't know how else to fix this but it's quite annoying as I'm unable to use a two-month old computer.

I've had the same problem with my Satellite P755D-S5378 for a little over half a year now. It first started happening right as the warranty was about to run out, but it only happened once or twice around that time, so I figured it was just a fluke and didn't call about it. Then it started happening more and more frequently, to the point where I could barely use my computer.
I thought it might be a software problem so ran checks on everything, tried running in Safe Mode with and without networking, tried disabling hibernate / sleep / eco mode, and so forth, but none of that had any effect. Also ran checks on the hard drive and memory; nothing wrong there either. Then decided it might be a heat issue or a short of some kind, so opened up the laptop, cleaned the fan and heatsink, checked all the cables and made sure they were seated properly, etc., but that didn't do any good either. I also tried removing one RAM stick then the other to see if one of them might be the issue (both were fine), inspected the motherboard (also fine), etc. Eventually discovered that tapping the play/pause button on the shortcuts strip at the top would cause the computer to try to wake up or turn back on after the unexpected sleep / shutoff had happened, so figured maybe there was something wrong with that strip. Went back in and unplugged the ribbon connector for the strip - still didn't help anything.
After dealing with this off and on for months (the strangest part is, these random shutoffs will happen multiple times a day for a few months at a time, and then the problem will disappear for a month or so, then start happening again) I finally found a few forums here suggesting that the power button might be the issue, and that it's basically a manufacturing defect / faulty part. I called Toshiba Support to ask what would happen if I took my laptop in to a service center and the technicians there agreed with the assessment that a faulty power button was the issue. Given that it seems they've been installing faulty power buttons in at least a few different laptop models, I was hoping they'd be willing to replace the defective part at no cost - or even just give me a replacement part to install myself. No dice, of course. Basically, since my laptop is no longer under warranty, it's no longer their problem that they built it with a bad part - it was good enough to last just under a year, so it's good enough for them! (Guess who I'm *not* buying my next laptop from?) Hence, don't waste your time on a phone call unless your laptop is still under warranty.
Anyway, saw on here that someone had tried adding tape to the area around the metal disc switch to keep it from triggering when it wasn't supposed to. So, took everything apart one more time, carefully removed the power button assembly, and added 3 - 4 layers of double-sided tape on the bottom / sticky side around the disc switch. So far my laptop has stayed on long enough for me to write this post, which is significantly better than it's been behaving of late. Only time will tell if this fix actually works, of course; if my laptop shuts off again after I've submitted this, I'll post again so you can save yourself the effort.
If you're fed up and have decided to just get a replacement power button assembly, they look to be between $20 and $100, and the part number is K000121910. I'll definitely be doing this if my laptop starts shutting off again, though of course, there's a good chance the replacement will have the exact same problem as the original. ~Sigh.~ I take very good care of my equipment, so this laptop should last at least another two years, *if* I can finally get this issue fixed.
UPDATE:
The "tape fix" didn't solve the problem - at least, not by itself. My computer shut off again within a few hours. *However*, I then tried also loosening the two screws on the bottom of the case that are nearest to the power button area, *and* unsnapping the snap on the case nearest to that area as well (it's one of the case snaps in the battery area). I then *carefully* reinserted the battery so the case would stay unsnapped where I wanted it to, and went from there. I have, since then, had two full glorious days without a shutoff (and I use my computer pretty much constantly, since I work from home). I'll update this post once more if things end up going downhill again, but I'm at least minorly optimistic at this point.

pls help me.

Hi
Yes, this sounds like an overheating issue.
If the internal temperature arises to a critical level then an internal sensor would shutdown the notebook to prevent the hardware from damage.
Please follow the advices and recommendations posted by blakcPox to avoid such overheating!
At the other hand this can be a software issue maybe the problem is related to the early virus infection
Therefore a new OS installation might be helpful too
