Toshiba Satellite L875d-s7230 Running Slow

I have a Toshiba Satellite L875d-s7230 that is running very slow. I completely recovered it back to the Factory out of Box state and its still extemely slow. I have checked the memory using Memtest and checked the Hard Drive and there are no hardware issues that are showing up. I have also checked it for rootkit Viruses and checked before and after the Factory recovery for viruses using Norton Interent Security 2013 and malwarebytes for Trojons/spyware. Of course it is a year and one month out of warrenty so I cannot get it repaired by Toshiba. Please anyone have any suggestions?

We don't know your tech knowledge so we start with basic info all these things can slow down a computer
Have you ran disk clean up and disk defragment?
Have you ran the chkdsk and sfc /scannow to check system files and disk errors?
Is the laptops vents clean?
If you recovered from the recovery partition it can also become corrupted and have errors - you may have to use your recovery DVD's.

Toshiba Satellite C55D-B5310 running SLOW

I purchased this laptop 3 months ago. When I first login with password, and try to open any programs, including Word, Excel, or my Quicken program, they're VERY slow to load. Even after I get one of those programs loaded, Word for instance, opening a existing Word document is slow. Also, when I first get onto the web, every click to open a website is slow. I don't have much in the way of music on my computer, and have no movies. Any ideas? Time to send it to Toshiba for repair?
This is a Toshiba Satellite C55D-B5310, AMD Quad-core (A8-6410), Part No. PSCN4U-00T019
Thanks!!!

This is an experiment to learn more. What happens in Safe Mode with Networking? Are things still slow?
Open the System Configuration utility (msconfig.exe), set it this way, OK out, and restart Windows.

Satellite C50-A628 running slow

Good day everyone.
Sorry if this post is in the wrong section, but, please help.
I know that maybe some people might think this as a waste of time or just something you could search in google, but, for about *7 months*, I've been trying to figure out why my new laptop is running slow.
As this laptop comes without any pre-installed operating system, there is no restore disk or factory reset disc. For the first few months of using my laptop, it's been running +windows 8.1 pro+.
Every time I use it, it opens everything okay, except when my browser is open. everything becomes unstable and doesn't respond. after a few seconds of not responding, I can use it again as long as I don't multi-task. I've installed the latest graphics drivers and some apps, but that's it. I thought that it was a problem with windows 8 about 5 days ago, so I downgraded to +windows 7 ultimate 64 bit+.
Now, i'm starting to think that maybe the problem is because of the drivers since I didn't install the drivers required for the laptop since it doesn't come with the drivers and reset disk.
So now, I'd like to ask for support on this matter. Please show the proper installation of windows 7 and the all the drivers required for my laptop which is the *TOSHIBA SATELLITE C50-A628 RUNNING WINDOWS 7 ULTIMATE 64-bit*. (Or any idea on why this problem is occuring)
Thank you and have a nice day.
-George B.

One note: the system performance, especially the internet browser issues has NOTHING to do with drivers preinstalled on your notebook. Mostly drivers are not the reason why the notebook runs slow (open software slowly, etc)
Fact is that your Satellite C50-A628 was equipped with 2GB RAM.
Additionaly an part of this 2GB RAM is shared with GPU: Intel HD Graphics
Therefore less than 2GB are used for system and applications.
To be honest; this is not enough to run system smoothly!
I recommend you to upgrade the RAM at least to 4GB/6GB or better 8GB RAM to get better performance.

CD/DVD player not working (Toshiba Satellite L875d-S7232)

I purchased a (Toshiba Satellite L875d-S7232) on August 17, 2012 from a major retailer. Recently, the CD/DVD player will not play, or even recognize, commercially produced DVD movies. As a consequence, I cannot rent or buy movie DVDs, nor will any of the DVDs in my library work now. The DVD player in this Satellite is TSST SN-208AB.
What happens is that when you put a movie DVD in the machine, the light goes on 4 times, but the DVD player never spins up and starts playing. In the explorer, the CD/DVD icon is there, but when you try to "open" the DVD player it never spins up and a green bar goes, very slowly, across the top of the window.
The player has no trouble with audio CDs.
I have spent about 10 hours on this problem now. What I have tried followed all of the standard "fixes" for this specific problem on this specific machine and the correct OS (Windows 7 Home Premium). None of the standard fixes fixed anything.
In Brief :
1. I uninstalled all programs which use the DVD player, except for the standard suite that came with the computer at time of purchase. Also, uninstalled all CODEC packages that were not part of the original suite.
2. Uninstalled the CD/DVD device and driver, as instructed, and the device and driver were automatically reinstalled. Did a full power cycle (including removal of the battery). I've done this solution about 4 times.
3. Looked in the registry for a possible filter driver issue. There was none.
4. Used Microsoft "Fix It" program, which discovered "a problem" but had no description of the problem or a reference to a fix.
5. Ran the device driver update check, toshiba service station check, microsoft update check. All files are up to date and the correct file.
6. Ran system files check, HDD corruption check. No problems reported.
Nothing done so far has moderated or altered the behavior in any way. Moreover, I have noted dozens and dozens of people on the internet in different forums with the same problem. What this means is that Toshiba is losing market share bigtime on this one.
Any fix would be appreciated.

Hi Sense no one has replied, I will offer my 2 cents. DVD drives wear out and they also get dirty. You could try to clean it with compressed air. DVD drives are fairly cheap and very easy to replace.
Dokie!!
I Love my Satellite L775D-S7222 Laptop. Some days you're the windshield, Some days you're the bug. The Computer world is crazy. If you have answers to computer problems, pass them forward.

Satellite X200-20S runs slower with new motherboard

I wonder if anybody can help - under warranty I have just had a replacement motherboard. (Before the replacement the computer switched off within ten seconds of startup). Since replacement the computer is runnning at about 90% of the speed than while it was working pre-replacement. I have spoken with the Toshiba support who claim that without "hard facts" about the speed there is nothing they can do (ie. they won't book it back in). In some ways this is fair, however it simply is not as good as before and various tests I have done (which they claim to be subjective) consistently show that the computer is slower.
Toshiba support really like the Windows Experience Index (WEI) which I currently have as 4.8 - I think this is the same as before the replacement - but I have read that even this isn't that reliable. Can anybody with a X200-20S please tell me their WEI score, and a 3DMark'06 score?
After the motherboard was replaced I also got a new drive (BD-ROM) on E: Of course X200-20S models don't have Blu-Ray so this does show that the motherboard is different to the original, albeit the part number apparently being the same (according to Toshiba support).
I would like to know if anybody else has had a similar problem, and whether they managed to find a resolution. I am aware that the warranty expires in November and therefore must get things done quickly if anything can be done.
If you can help, please let me know.
Many thanks!

Hi Tonny,
Thanks for your suggestion. In all the time I've had the computer I've never bothered changing power management options, so am treating like for like. Since you mentioned it I've just had a look to see what the cpu option is, and it's 100% for the maximum output. However it is running more slowly as mentioned in the previous post.
I am convinced beyond doubt that the motherboard (which is the only thing to be replaced) is the cause of the problem. I have reset the computer to factory settings, installed the latest drivers; everything I can possibly do - and every test (including my memory of how games ran before) proves beyond doubt that the machine is running more slowly.
I simply am at a loss as to how to get the machine back to the previous speed. I can only think it isn't possible because the new motherboard replacements don't work as efficiently as the originals - although with the advance in technology over two and a half years that doesn't seem quite right. I can't get Toshiba support to take this problem seriously, because nothing is "broken". I wonder if it's some jumpers, or settings on the board which weren't done correctly when it was replaced.
Thanks again.

Satellite L875D-S7230 Sound problems / drivers won't install

I've run a PC tech support service for over 10 years so I've tried all the standard fixes to no avail.
Main problem was after I started using my laptop with an HDMI cable to a projector -- the audio and video worked fine via HDMI, but when I disconnected the HDMI cable the laptop had no audio, and had a red x on the audio symbol in the system tray. Device manager only showed AMD High Definition Audio Device. Under Playback devices via the Sound icon (yes Disabled and Disconnected Devices are both checked) it only shows the AMD High Def device. When I reconnect the HDMI, the audio works fine. Once I thought that not properly "ejecting" the HDMI cable could be the problem, so I used Windows + P to show the Projector menu and selected Computer Only to disconnect the HDMI and then removed the cable and then the laptop audio worked, but that happened several weeks ago, and now after using HDMI again, it's back to no audio. I've reinstalled the HDMI audio, but in trying to reinstall the Realtek Audio Drivers shown on the Support page for my model, they won't install - they extract and then when I click to install, the install stops with no error warning, etc. The same with the AMD Display driver (which is supposed to contain the chipset drivers). I've been through this two hours troubleshooting process twice over the past 6 months and I am done. Any suggestions are appreciated. Here's the support page:

Satellite L875D Missing BIOS version?

Foreword:
The current OS I'm running is Gentoo but I have the original Hard drive and OS that came with the laptop (mostly) untouched.
System Information
    Manufacturer: TOSHIBA
    Product Name: Satellite L875D-S7332B
    Version: PSKFQU-008003B
    Original OS: Windows 8
    Original BIOS version: 6.30
    Current OS: 3.16.3-Gentoo
    Current BIOS version: 6.10 (modded)
I got this laptop refurbished from the manufacturer around August of last year. The BIOS version as I when I got it was 6.30, a version not listed on the official download page, here). Around August of this year, I decided to make full use of my laptop and install Gentoo, a linux distribution. Granted, I had a couple of problems especially video and the keyboard controller but I got those issues eventually resolved. One issue that alluded me was a firmware bug caused by putting the computer in S3. To resolve this, I decide to flash the bios to a previous version: 6.10. What I did not anticipate was virtualization support being removed by this downgrade. I know for a fact this computer can support VT as I was doing Windows based schoolwork in a VM using KVM (a linux based usage of virtualization extensions made available by the processors) for about 3 months prior to this downgrade. The CPU also shows the svm and svm-lock flags (flags belonging to AMD which indicate the CPU does indeed support virtualization.) The original and modded versions of the 6.10 bios for models C870D/C875D/L870D/L875D both acted the same.
In my research in trying to fix this problem, I've made note of a few things:
During the downgrade, the my flashing program warned me that the bios version I was going to flash to (6.10) was bigger than the original contained on the BIOS chip (I can't remember what it exactly said but I remember that it gave a hex value of both versions saying that the new one was something like twice as big.)
Model L875D machines with BIOS version 6.30 truly exist as evidenced by the following links (As far as I can tell, most if not all these tools take their information from the DMI table aka SMBIOS.):
[SEMI-SOLVED]RTL8188CE Wireless card is not working right       Related information is the third post. (taken from the output of inxi, a system information viewer in linux.)
[Toshiba Satellite L875D-S7111] Monitor does not come back after suspend. Related information is in the first post.
(Alternately here as in the bugreport listed as file "BootDmesg".)
Sims 3 Won't Start, Graphics Issues, Windows 8 related? Related information is at the top of the page(DXDIAG)
WoW Freezing Related information is in third post (DXDIAG)
Toshiba forums: "cant update my BIOS 6.70" Interesting dialog between people on this forum and user..
A different model (C870D/C875D, models which are also on the BIOS download page of the L875D and presumably from the same "family") has the VT extensions enabled by default:
ACPI Flash BIOS version 6.30 for Satellite C870D/C875D (PSCA2*/PSCBE*)
(I've modded the 6.10 version's tabs to show and allow changing of the VT setting: changing the value does absolutely nothing and my system still reports the bios as having it disabled.)
As a summary, here is what I've collected about this "missing" bios:
Has a version of 6.30
Built on or released 12/06/2012 (Presumably MM/DD/YY as I believe this laptop is a US version)
Does not exist seem to exist on any public Toshiba support page
Working Support of virtualization is possible.
Possibly a half the size of the 6.10 bios version.
Still has firmware bug present in 6.10 (an example of this firmware bug can be given upon request.
Access to any of my logs is available on request (Windows or Linux).
Final thoughts:
I'm assuming the missing bios is either something installed by a refurbishing department or it is official and was just never posted to the main support page. In any case, I'd like to get my VM back up and running as I'm somewhat dependent on it to do my course work as most of my notes and books are on the gentoo drive.

I have been finding the fan annoying too on this model.(a500-1gl psar9e)
When i am gaming it will kick in after a little to a speed of 90% according to the health monitor. It will shh again after a period of time but will start up again. This behavior seems to happen more frequently now. When i first got the notebook (feb 2010) the fan hardly ever kicked in fast even with prolonged playing.
Oddly enough if the fan kicks in and i bring my browser window over the gaming window the fan seems to slow down again. Could be a strange coincidence?
Anyway i contacted toshiba and they have told me to upgrade my bios and my display drivers. Been also suffering the driver failure problems that is know for this notebook. I plan to do this on monday and hope it fixes the issues. so will try and update you to that outcome.
Its frustrating to have this one annoying issue ruin a good notebook.

Resuming from s2ram -f freezes Toshiba Satellite

About 1 in every 10 times that I resume from an s2ram -f, which is what is needed to bring my laptop down into standby, my computer will completely freeze. If I can see htop while this happens, it reads that 100% of one cpu core out of four is being used by the kernel. I can't check anything else at this point because my computer will be frozen. I have a Toshiba Satellite L635 and run arch i686. Please ask for any more information if it's needed. I'll be very grateful if anyone can help me out here.

Did you check the log files? At first I would suggest you look into the files starting with pm_, which are in particular relevant to suspend/resume. If there is nothing relevant in them, check messages.log.

Toshiba Satellite WILL NOT BOOT PROPERLY -- URGENT -- HELP NEEDED

Hey guys,
I have a Toshiba Satellite P745-S4217, running x64 Windows 7 Home Premium. On Saturday (19/4), a problem occured where my computer automatically booted in Safe Mode. Normally I wouldn't start my PC in Safe Mode, so I turned the computer off to reboot it normally. When I went to reboot, though, at the *Starting Windows* screen, it went straight to a BSOD and rebooted by itself, then giving me to option to Launch Startup Repair or try again. Of course, I went to launch the Startup Repair, but then it simply went into a black screen and stayed there for around 4 hours before I chose to reboot again. The second time I rebooted, it did the BSOD thing again and gave me the two options. Every time I chose Start Normally, it went into the BSOD and returned to the menu, and every time I launched Startup Repair, it went into the black screen.
By Sunday (20/4) I'd had enough of this. When I went to boot my computer, I rapidly tapped F12 to go into setup and reset the BIOS (another forum told me to do so). After this, however, when the computer went to reboot, it displayed a screen that said 'Select Proper Boot Device or Reboot and Insert Boot Device' or something along those lines. Since I don't have a Win7 Boot Disc (my PC came without that, a recovery disc, OR an installation disc since Win7 was preinstalled), I was thinking about creating a boot disc to solve the problem. However, since my PC runs slowly, I was also contemplating creating a restore disc that would return the PC to factory defaults -- yet, I don't have a hard drive to backup my files onto (I also have no way of doing this even if I did, remember my PC refuses to boot). Are there anymore solutions I could try to boot the computer correctly, or will I have to reinstall Win7? PLEASE HELP!

SLow WIFI toshiba satellite C55-a and windows 8

Hi I recently bought a new laptop toshiba satellite C55-A with windows 8 on it. My older laptop runs super fast with my WIFI internet. The new one goes like SLOW like hell. I mean I have 10 MB internet and it goes like 500 K Please I am really tired of looking on Internet to fix a problem of a NEW computer. Plus, once I plug my computer with the Internet wire it RUNS on 10 MB! THANK YOU!

Hello! I also recently purchased a Toshiba Satellite C55t-A.
We have a desktop computer that is about 3 years old and another laptop that is about 6 years old. We have an apple Ipad and 2 cell phones with wifi. All of these devices work with our WIFI from our cable internet at high speeds.
This new computer is so slow using Wifi that it isn't really feasable to use it for surfing the web.
It has ran slow on WIFI straight out of the box...nothing has changed on it. We perhaps should have returned it, but it was purchased for a specific project we needed it for on a time deadline, so it was too inconvenient to return it. After using it for the project, it was past the return date.
Anyways, I am hoping this is fixable...we would like to be able to use the laptop for online work.
This problem isn't related to the position in the house (walls or distance) or the integrity/age of the router. All other devices work at different points throughout our home with the current router. This is the only computer that will not run at an acceptable WIFI speed.
We also cannot restore the computer (it worked this way out of the box and there are too many files (hours of work) that we can't lose.
Please, I would appreciate if there is any info that could help me. I suspect some type of driver or software that came installed on the laptop must not be compatible with our router.
Thank you!

I have a Windows Vista desktop and an old XP laptop, both run Firefox perfectly. However, my Toshiba Satellite T135 laptop will not run ANY version of Firefox--constant "not responding" messages. Chrome and IE9 work perfectly. Help!!

To mostly repeat my question, I am a longtime Firefox user on both an XP laptop and a Vista desktop. So here I get the most "capable" computer of all, a Toshiba Satellite T135 laptop, 64-bit Windows 7, 4G RAM...and it won't run Firefox at all! I have installed an uninstalled both Firefox 3, and just now, Firefox 4. No changes. When I open the software, it usually just locks up for a minute or so, and I finally get a "not responding" message at the top of the screen.
Obviously there is something corrupt in the guts of my laptop. But both IE9 and Chrome work very well--Chrome is blazing fast. I still prefer Firefox because it works best with some particular software I use for work...but I have to go to one of my older computers to do it!
ANY solutions out there? This seems like a very odd problem.
Posting from the Firefox website...using Google Chrome!

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Toshiba Satellite L305-S5909 - DVD ROM / CD Drive will not Run CDs

I have a Toshiba Satellite Model Name: L305-S5909 Part Number: PSLB8U-05302F running Windows Vista 64 with Service Pack 2. The Drive in my computer is, Mat**bleep**a DVD-RAM UJ88OES
I really don't know when this started but we just discovered that our DVD / CD Drive will not run any CDs or DVDs inserted. When I check My Computer or Windows Explorer the Drive shows up. Also I checked the Device Manager and it's there also. I have tried uninstalling the drive and letting Windows Reinstall it and that did not help. I have also upgraded the computer bios also no results. And I have tried different disks, cleaning the optical eye, etc. The eject command from the computer works but will not run anything inserted.
Any Ideas?

i had the same problem with my L505D-S5965. you are going to most likely have to replace the dvd drive. the optical eye burned out in mine and from what you have already tried to do to fix it. that is probably what happened with yours. if it is under warranty you can send it to the depot or take it to a toshiba service center near you. if not you can change it yourself.it not to hard.
hope that helps
