Satellite U500 - Freezes after Windows 7 upgrade

Hi
I am trying to upgrade from Vista home premium 64bit to Windows 7 home premium 64bit on a U500-119.
After the activation process was completed, I started Windows 7, but the Desktop screen did'nt appear and my U500 froze the "welcome" message. I could reboot Windows 7 in repair mode, but I cannot find which sw component prevents Windows 7 to start and work in normal mode. Did I used the wrong installation option, automated process instead of the personnalised one?
What should I do, restore Vista from HDD recovery, and re-install Windows 7, this time using the perconnalised mode?

Hey
To be honest I also dont know which software are driver is causing this freezes but can you start the notebook in safe mode?
Furthermore its not possible to use the HDD recovery anymore because you installed another OS. In this case you need the Toshiba recovery disk to restore Windows Vista.

Satellite A105 freezes after windows xp is loaded

I have a Satellite A105- S4074.
The operating system will load then freezes.
I have tried safe mode and ran error check and defrag. I tried sys config and when system is loaded, then freezes.
I was able last week to load system and have internet connection. But it froze again the next day.
I cannot get consistent performance. I have windows xp media center. I recently upgraded ram to 4 GB.
What are my options? I lost the original restore disks.
I am willing to reformat the hard drive if necessary.

When you install extra RAM, its important to test the stability of the new RAM to avoid BSOD's and data corruption / loss.
New RAM can be incompatible or unstable in some systems, or can simply be faulty out of the box.
Test the RAM for errors. You can use the free Memtest utility:
1) Go to http://www.memtest.org/#downiso and download the "Pre-Compiled Bootable ISO (.zip)"
2) Open the ZIP file and extract the ISO file to a temporary folder.
3) Burn the ISO to a blank CD using an "Image-to-Disc" or "Bootable CD" project in your CD/DVD burning software (dont use a normal Data Project).
4) Insert the Memtest CD into your laptop and turn it on, press F12 to launch the boot menu, and select "CD".

Y40-70 freezes after Windows 10 Upgrade when in sleep mode

Hello, I have a y40-70 that is newly upgraded to windows 10 with all of the new drivers from the lenovo downloads page. Over the past couple of days I have noticed that when I close the lid of my laptop to put it into sleep mode, the comuter will boot back up after a time and remain frozen, with a black screen and the two left LED's on the front lit up. The only thing that unfreezes the laptop is to force a restart by holding down the power button. I am wondering if anyone has encountered this problem, or perhaps a solution?

FYI: Long post ahead! So trying to do a clean instal was quite an adventure! I wasn't able to roll back to 8.1 because of reasons, apparently. The recovery options would just say that there had been an error and I couldn't do it. What I ended up having to do was to use One Key Recovery to restore the factory image, which comes with all of Lenovo's software. Thinking that this might be a source of possible conflict, I downloaded the Windows 8.1 media creation tool and used it to create a bootable USB on a 16 GB USB drive. Using that, I wiped the OS partition and did a clean install of Win8.1. Because the product key is embedded in the BIOS, you don't have to enter it in manually (just skip that step if it asks you) and the first time you connect to the internet, it will automatically activate after several minutes. After that, I grabbed the Windows 10 media creation tool. Here's where I ran into a weird issue. When creating the bootable USB stick for Win10 and trying to install from it, everything moved at a glacial pace. I let it run for over 12 hours and it never got past 67% of step 2! Meanwhile Win8.1 installed in about 20 minutes. What I ended up having to do is use the Win10 media creation tool to do an in place upgrade. Each time you run the tool it asks if you want to upgrade the current PC or to create media to install on a different PC. If you choose to upgrade the current PC, it will download Win10 and install it on the laptop. The download and installation together took me around 40 minutes, but your time may vary depending on your download speed. After it downloads the Win10 files, it will give you options as to what you want to keep on your current install. Since I wanted this to be as clean as I could make it, changed the default, "keep files and settings," to "keep nothing." It will wipe Win8.1 and do a clean install of Win10 when doing this. The install went well and I'm in the process of installing the various Lenovo drivers. I'm not quite done yet as I ran out of time yesterday when I was doing all this becuase I had to go to work. So far though, I've had 0 problems after doing this clean installation of Win10. I'm going to finish installing the drivers and my software over the next day or two and keep testing to see if I can reproduce the issues we've been having. I'll keep you guys updated. Hopefully this will help, since it doesn't seem that either MS or Lenovo is doing much to figure out what's going on and provide their own fixes.

Satellite U500-11G - Can't activate upgrade to Windows 7

Really sorry about this, but with new Satellite U500-11G cannot activate the upgrade to Windows 7. Keep being told on entering serial number that it was origonally installed with Vista, but no info on how to activate.
Any help out there please?

Hi
Have you used a Microsoft disk to upgrade to Windows 7? As MisterX wrote normally the preinstalled OS is always activated and I can confirm this. I never had to activate my copy of Windows.
If you use the Windows 7 upgrade kit from Toshiba you dont have to activate your version.

Satellite A300D-15B - Webcam won't work after Windows 7 upgrade

My webcam doesnt work after Windows 7 upgrade. I have installed the drivers but still having no luck

Hi
The webcam is listed in device manager under the Imaging devices
There you should see USB Video Device.
If its not listed there, then I think that the device malfunctions or its disconnected.
The webcam is an usb device and its connected to USB controller.
I read in different threads that in some cases the cable could be loose and therefore the webcam would not be listed in device manager.
I such case the display lid needs to be disassembled and the cables should be checked.
In my opinion its a job for an technician.

Skype does not recognize my headset after Windows 10 upgrade

Hi everyoneSkype stopped recognizing my headset after Windows 10 upgrade. I've tried the solution deactivating the "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" option. No success. The headset works on my other Windows 8.1 laptop and my Cellphone. Other applications, including Windows 10 microphone setup for speech recognition work. Here is something strange though. When I open up Skype audio tools and tap the microphone between thumb/finger Skype detects this and shows 4/5 green bars. Any ideas?

Your upgrade haven't changed the drivers properly.
1. Just go to Device Manager and delete the audio drivers.
2. Then restart your pc and switch on the internet.
3. Your drivers will be automatically installed by Windows Update.

No internet after windows 10 upgrade-Ralink RT3290wi-fi adapter

Beats Audio Control Panel software not working after Windows 10 upgrade.

Beats Audio Control Panel software not working after Windows 10 upgrade. the Beats sound enhancement is useless in WIndows 10. When opening the Windows 10 sound properties I'm getting this box message: Auido enhancement problem Windows has detected the audio enhancement for the following device are causing problems: Speakers / Headphones (IDT High Definition Audio Codec) Woud you like to disable driver enhancement for this device? IDT High Definition Audio CodecBeats Audio Control Panel version6.10.6491.02013.11.2009:43:18 Please provide some kind of fix for this?

Well, it has been a long road on the Win 10 upgrade. At first I got the same error message as above, but after deleting the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 in Win 10 using Control Panel Programs and Features and rebooting, I got into the continual BSOD upon reboot. Here are the steps I took to at least get stable on Windows 10. First, I rolled back to Windows 8.1 using the advanced feature in the BSOD recovery options. Once back in Win 8.1, I deleted the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 using Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. Then I downloaded the Win 10 update and re-installed it. Once that completed, I updated the Intel Graphics driver under the display adapters (on my G780 it is an Intel HD Graphics 4000, and the driver can be found at https://downloadcenter.intel.com/). Currently I am running version 10.18.10.4252 for my machine. Then, under the Device Manager, I updated the Conexant SmartAudio HD driver under the Sound, video, and game controllers. That driver is currently at 8.66.4.50 and was automatically downloaded from the web when I requested to update driver. I also changed several others settings such as Notify to schedule restart after updates are installed instead of automatic (under Settings --> Update & Security --> Advanced Options) and Do you want Windows to download driver software and realistic icons for your devices? --> No, let me choose what to do, never install driver software from Windows Update. After that, I shut down the machine, waited a moment and booted back up. I have no idea why this helped or if it is overkill, but I am stable and running without a fear of rebooting now. Hope this helps if someone else is having this same issue.

Satellite A500 fn keys not working at all after windows 7 upgrade

Hi everyone,
I'm using Satellite A500 which i just did the windows 7 upgrade (32 bit) yesterday, however, i can no longer use the FN key on the keyboard which i'd use it very often.
can anybody help??? much appreciated!!
mav

Hi, thanks for your reply,
I'd some search on the forum, however, there're some similar issue, but they are not A500 model, so i m not sure it's reference.
yeah i did download and install the value added package, and restarted my flash cards, and i did change the setting of the flash card, at least now i can use it by moving my mouse to the top of the screen and they pop up. but yet, the FN key still not working at all.
i couldnt really find "common modules" or "hot key" to download, could anyone post the link here? if that would make my FN key work just like before?
Thanks alot!

Satellite L500-20X - WLAN switch doesn't work after Windows 8 Upgrade

Hello,
I have updatet my Toshiba Satellite L500-20X to Windows 8.
Unfortunately, since this update my WLAN Switch no longer works. All function keys work to F7, only F8 (WLAN switch) and F9 (touchpad) no longer work.
What can I do?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards
Klaus

Satellite L500 is not Win 8 upgrade supported so I think the problem is a missing driver or software
As far as I know in order to use the FN buttons the Value Added Package for Win 8 needs to be installed.
Check other driver area for Toshiba notebook series supporting the Win 8.
Maybe you could use the VAP released for other series.

Restore Computer Back to Vista after Windows 7 upgrade and back again?

I got Satellite L505-S6946 that came with Vista Home Premium installed (I immediately made backup-5 disks in all). I got the free Windows 7 upgrade disk from Toshiba and upgraded my laptop. I messed up and did not make the backup disks like I should have. I had to reinstall windows 7 more than once (shouldn't let others use my computer!) and it hasn't seem to run quite the same after reinstall. I also noticed that for a driver Intel ICH9 Family SMBus Controller 2930 it says no device driver installed. I didn't notice that before. And I have tried to install it. Whatever the cause, to me it just doesn't seem to run the same. I was wondering if I could go back and reinstall Vista from my disks and then upgrade to windows 7 with my upgrade again (and this time make backup copy!)? I apologize in advance if this is a stupid question but I am not really computer savvy. Thank You. Jakey58

Satellite L505-S6946
Just adding my two cents worth...
We have lots of machines running Windows Vista. (I'm typing this message on one.) They work just fine. I never even consider upgrading them to Windows 7.
Just because the Geeks don't like Vista and just because Microsoft wants you to use the latest and greatest doesn't mean you must upgrade.
I've heard some people put solar panels on the shady side of the house where the neighbors can see them.

Satellite P300 freezing after more than 20 minutes

Hi
Hope someone can help.
My P300 satellite laptop freezes when left on for more than 20 minutes.
This has been a problem since buying the laptop 8 months ago.
I have windows vista installed.
When this happens I have to hold down the on button untill the computer restarts, it gives me the option of starting in safe mode.
This can't be good for the laptop?
Is there a way to fix this, as I have to turn the laptop off when ever I leave it.
Cheers

Hi
Its not easy to say what the reason is for this because it can be caused from different things
Maybe your notebook is overheating. Can you hear the fan or does it get very hot? Maybe you should try to clean it using compressed air spray. This could blow out the dust from the cooling ventilators.
You said you have installed Windows Vista on your notebook. Do you mean the factory settings or have you installed your own Windows version?
It could be also a problem of the RAM. You can check this with Memtest86. This is a diagnostic program for the RAM. You can download it on [www.memtest86.com]. Its freeware and easy to use (just burn a bootable CD with the image and boot from it).
Good luck and post your results after this.

Ideapad z400 touch after windows 10 upgrade

I am using the ideapad z400 touch and have been upgraded to windows 10. "Intel graphics card => I reinstalled the windows 8.1 driver from lenovo site", and my brightness problem is solved. I am facing the problem with the intel HD graphics 4000 display driver that I install from lenovo site. The driver seems like not fully compatible with windows 10. My screen will turn off after 5 minutes and when I move the mouse to wake it up I face the problem, the screen will freeze for a while and start to wake up and showed me the message "intel display driver.....has stopped responding and has recovered" This happens everytime after my screen turn off. Besides, my pc can't go to sleep mode. When I select sleep for my pc, the screen went black and it takes a long time to sleep but actually it is not, then it will shut down on its own. I have to press the power button to turn it on again. I think this problem is also related to the display driver. I have no problem with this display driver on windows 8.1. Will Lenovo come out the new driver that compatible with windows 10 from Lenovo site? The latest operating system they provide the drivers is untill windows 8.1. If they do not support the windows 10 driver I will roll back to windows 8.1 with no choice but I sincerely hope that I can keep using windows 10 on my pc I like it. Microsoft gives us one month time to roll back to windows 8.1. I don't know can I upgrade to windows 10 again if I found that Lenovo comes out their new drivers
