Satellite Pro L300D-138 restarts on shut down

Hi,
I recently bought myself a Satellite Pro L300D-138, and I also got one for my parents. Almost every time I shut it down, it automatically restarts. I think it only happens when there are updates that are being installed, but I think it might be happening even if there aren't updates. I'm not getting messages that say, 'New updates, restart needed.' or anything. I also didn't think updates needed restarts as such, but that shutting the computer down, and then turning it on again tomorrow, or whatever would complete the updates. Maybe I'm wrong..? Is there somewhere I should be looking out for new update/restart requests?
It's not a big deal, really, it's just a bit of a pain in the @55 having to go back to the laptop to shut it down again a few minutes after shutting it down... Am I making sense? I feel like I'm repeating myself! :)
This is also happening with the laptop I got for my parents, so I presume it's a Toshiba thing, or a new computer thing, I just wanna know whether I can make it stop or if I just gotta set aside 10 minutes for shut downs!!!!
Cheers for any help!

He told me to go to run, type in cmd, hit enter
then type in powercfg -devicequery wake_armed
then control panel- system -hardware- device manager
In +modems, right click on Toshiba modem, properties, power management, and uncheck box that said 'enable restart on standby' or something.
It worked for sbout 5 or 6 hours yesterday, in that i closed down one or the other of the laptops two or three times each and they stayed shut down. Then last night when I was shutting mine down, it restarted again, i checked both computers 2 or 3 times this morning, problem was back.
So, I went:
control panel- system- hardware- device manager- view- show hidden devices.
Down the list was 'serial' with a yellow boxed exclamation mark, i clicked on it, troubleshooted it.
It said to uninstall then reinstall.
I uninstalled, did a restart, went back there, to try to reinstall or find a place where it could instruct me to do something, and there was nothing. I shut the computer down and it stayed shut down. I tried again 2 more times, and it stayed shut down twice more. I dunno what 'serials' is for, what it was meant to be doing (it said it wasn't working) and whether or not i've done something bad now!
the first thing, with the unchecking of the box, I was told to do, but the unistalling of the serial device could lead to problems for me....
I hope not, but at the moment the problem seems to be stopped, so fingers crossed.
Sorry, I'm not very eloquent when it comes to mapping out what to do with a computer!
Hope this sheds some light...

Satellite Pro P300-05X restarts after shut down

Hi All,
I've owned my notebook (Satellite P300/05X, Processor P8600 (2.4GHz), 17" Display) now for 1 week and I have been very frustrated with this problem I'm about to explain.
After selecting "Shut Down" option (not "sleep", not "hibernate" etc, but definitely "shut down"), the notebook goes through the steps of shutting down, and then all the lights on the touch finger pads turn off, and then the light from the main switch turns off. And then for no apparent reason, the notebook starts up again like as if I've pressed the switch back on! This morning was the worst, I went through the steps of shutting down 3 times! before it actually switched off...very frustrating especially if you're in a hurry.
Also, I have noticed occasionally the main switch light does not go off at all, all other lights do however, but not the main switch...and then all of a sudden, the machine springs back to life!
Now this problem is very random and does not happen all the time. On average it will automatically restart on, say 1 out of 7 times (except this morning!!!).
As I've said, this machine is very new. It has Vista Business, and I have installed only a handful of programs (Eclipse/Java, MySQL...that's pretty much it). And I'm very sure it's not a virus, nor malware. Plus I have not changed any BIOS settings.
But I have turned off all power options in the Control Panel (that is, "never" turn off hard disk etc etc).
Any ideas??
Thanks a lot guys....

Have you connected external devices to the notebook like printer, external HDD and so far?
Disconnect them because this could maybe cause the issue.
Make sure that you have wake up on LAN in BIOS and Windows disabled and you should also disconnect the LAN cable and other cables.
Check this and try also to update the BIOS.

Satellite Pro L300D doesn't power down after Windows XP shuts down.

Hi... Wondering if anyone can help me!
I have a Satellite ProL300D and it's just over a year old. I've had shut down problems with it pretty much since I got it, but after re-loading XP four or five times I decided to stick with restarting the laptop before shutting it down... But now that uni is finished for the year I thought I'd have a go at sorting it out again.
It basically shuts down Windows fine, although it does seem to take quite some time, then the screen goes black but the laptop hasn't powered off. The green light is still on, and the screen is still lit. As I said above, if I restart before shutting down, then it shuts down no problem, also if I watch DVDs and don't go online, it will shut down no problem. If it goes into Stand By mode (which it only does on a critical battery, about 3%, as I've set it to 'never' in the power settings, a possible cure read in another forum), then it won't do anything and has to be turned off by holding down the button. It gets stuck in whatever it was doing and won't restart etc. The laptop came with Vista and an XP downgrade.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

Hi,
Did you have problem with Vista before downgrading to XP? It can be OS/drivers or hardware issue. I have found something interesting about shutdown an restart troubleshooting. Not sure if it helps you:

That is, I cannot log in, sleep, restart, or shut down. I am running it on an Early 2009 Macbook Pro, which is said to have the capabilities of running Mountain Lion.

As the last post suggests, call Apple and order a replacement original disc for about $17. They will ask you the model and serial numbers.
Your retail version of Snow Leopard OS 10.6.3 will not work on that Mac as it requires a minimum of OS X 10.6.7 to boot and operate.
Another alternative is to again borrow another Mac to install your retail Snow Leopard into an external HD or partition, upgrade it to 10.6.8 and then clone it back to a partition on your MBP.

KT4V & XP2200+, Win2000 Pro won't restart or power down on shut

KT4V & XP2200+, Win2000 Pro won't restart or power down on shut
Just picked up new KT4V and a XP 2200+ for a system build-up for a magazine article story. It also has a Maxtor 120GB 7200 HDD and 1GB of Micron PC2700 (2.5 latency) RAM. Installed Win 2000 Pro on the system (later another HDD will get XP Pro). The Video card is an HIS manufactured ATI Radeon 9000 w/64MB.
Had a few problems on install, got STOP screens a few times. Finally installed and Win 2000 runs fine, EXCEPT that it won't restart warm (like after installing apps or even selecting restart from shutdown) and the system won't power off on full shut down. I get the "It's safe to turn off your system" screen. Checked everywhere in the BIOS setup and 2000 Pro Control Panel for a selection, but there is none!
On restarts, it seems to go throught the "post" and just when the Windows start should come on, blank screen. HDD stops seeking, like doesn't know what to do.
This is also occuring with the Win XP Pro installation, but the OS is even acting flakier!
Latest BIOS has been installed.
I finally spoke to a MSI Tech Rep (took three days of calling and two unreturned messages), with less then what sounded much experience or actual knowledge, he said that it was an incompatibility problem with various ATI Radeon based video cards. I said, WHAT?! You don't design a MB to be compatible with the largest mfg. of video cards! Can anyone confirm this???
I am less than inspired by MSI, folks. And, it will be related in the article I'm writing. X(
Does anyone have any ideas regarding the reason and solutions to the problems??

well i cannot say ive noticed it,a search here only got a single thread re both cards together,i would have expected more
tried http://www.memtest86.com on ram,try one by one if multi sticks
what psu,combined watts ,amps 3 main voltages
seem to recall reading with them they have the extra power intake,and one guy advised making sure card was only thing on it
in device manager whats pc seen as,acpi uniprocessor?
also whats irq sharing look like
try latest bios as well

Satellite L doesn't boot up after restart or shutting down

Hello,
My laptop after restart or shutting down doesn't starting.
I need to turn off the computer and wait 10 seconds and try again, after that it start ok.
Any suggest?
Thanks,
Dvir

To be honest I dont know if there is the problem actually. Most important thing is that your notebook starts. I dont know if this is so important if this happen after 5 or 10 seconds.
We dont know which notebook model do you have, how old it is, since when you have noticed this strange issue, so it is not easy to understand the problem.
>My laptop after restart or shutting down doesn't starting.
It is not easy to understand this statement. Does it mean that when you click on restart or shutdown option in start menu notebook react properly but cannot restart or be switched on immediately?

Satellite Pro L300D-110 - Downgrade to XP Pro - HDD devices gone missing?

Hello to all in the Toshibe Satellite Pro forum - my first post.
I've been a happy owner of other Tosh laptops without any problems, but this time I'm unhappy :o(
We bought a Satellite Pro L300D 110 (AMD Athlon Dual Core) laptop just a few days ago for business use. We bought it on the understanding that it could be down-graded to XP Pro - mainly because some of the software we use on a daily basis won't run reliably on Vista, but also because all the other Desktops/Laptops in our network (includes a WLAN) are all running XP Pro, so adding another machine to it should've been easy.
The need to do this was confirmed by the fact despite everything I tried, we just could not get the new Toshiba L300D connecting via our routers whilst running Vista. At the same time, we also bought a new Dell with no O/S. I installed a new copy of OEM XP Pro SP2 - and it's running as sweet as a nut! Sorry, I digress:
I down-graded the L300D to XP Pro fine using the Toshiba XP Pro recovery disk supplied - no problems at all. I got the machine connecting to the network too, but then I realised that the DVD (Pioneer DVD-RW DVRTD08A ATA) was not being found by Windows.
Logged into the BIOS setup - yep, it was listed there OK, but trying a few nips and tucks I've learnt over the years, I still couldn't get XP Pro to discover the device.
I've now reinstalled Vista on the machine and it's found the DVD writer again.
If it were a PC, I'd shut down the machine, open up the case, disconnect the writer, boot up, shut down, reconnect the device, shut case and bingo. But not with a laptop maybe...
Does anyone have any ideas how to (reliably!) downgrade to XP Pro without devices disappearing? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I do have two more new copies of XP Pro SP2 at my disposal, if that's any use.
Kind regards
David

>I'm happy again now :o)
Great to hear that!
Just for info:
The newer notebook series supports newer SATA HDD controllers and therefore the OS cannot be installed if the SATA drivers are not included and preinstalled.
So if you want to use the SATA features you need to install firstly the SATA driver.
But you can also turn the SATA mode to compatibility mode (in BIOS) and this would allow you to install the Win XP without the needed SATA drivers.
Bye

Could this be a virus?

Hold down the Power button until the computer shuts down.

From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
The facts are:
1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
2. There is no anti-malware that can detect anything targeting the Mac because there
     is no Mac malware in the wild, and therefore, no "signatures" to detect.
3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
     the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
     techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
    your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
    protection against malware.
5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
    from which they purport to protect you.
6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
    you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

OS 10.4.6 won't restart or shut down

I installed 10.4.6 on my powerbook g4 that was running 10.3.9 without a problem. Big mistake.
I repaired permissions, then custom installed 10.4.6 skipping the foreign language fonts and printer drivers I don't need.
Installation was successful. Set up assistant started up but I skipped it because I had no connection to the net when I installed.
I got my desktop, everything looked fine but the computer would not restart or shut down. Force quit was not a option.
The only way to shut down the computer was to hold down the power button.
I started up the computer, repaired permissions with DU and then put it through Cocktail. No indicated problem until Cocktail tried to restart. It didn't work.
I restarted with shift-safe boot, but the problem remained. My formerly reliable PBg4 will not restart or shut down with this new OS 10.4x
Any suggetions? Thanks.
Panther

Steve:

It is not Tiger that's causing the problem. Tiger will run fine on your PBook. It's because you short-circuited the process. Next time around, go through the setup and when it comes to registering with Apple, click later. As baltwo said, if you don't have a backup you will need to re-install.
Good luck.

X200 hangs during restart or shut down when connected to ultrabase

My X200 hangs during a Windows restart or shut down when I'm connected to my ultrabase. The laptop appears to go through most of the processes to restart/shut down but eventually hangs at a blue screen with unmoveable cursor (note, not a Windows BSOD). I'm forced to perform a hard shut down to turn off the laptop.
This hang at restart/shut down only occurs when I'm connected to the ultrabase.

Just as a thing to try, and this is assuming that you all have an integrated camera, please try this camera driver and let the board know the results:

Minis spin at restart or shut down

I have 3 minis that just spin when you hit restart or shut down. You have to hard reboot... the old firmware update I found is not needed on that computer according to the computer. Running 10.4.11 on all. Any ideas?

Are these Intel Minis, or the older PPC G4 Minis?
What is the history of these particular Minis and how are they being used?
