Toshiba SATELLITE L675D-S7016 Makes Noise/crash Dump?
Mar 11, 2012
my 2 year-old toshiba satellite l675d-s7016 has been making a loud screeching noise for the past week. it only happens when i'm watching videos (hulu, Internet, etc.) it slows the video down, distorts it, and then my computer has blue screen and shuts down. i think that it started when i downloaded a screen-sharing program called join me. i never used the program, but i can't even find it in my "programs." i'm using windows 7?
My computer monitor, HP LP3065c it's 30", makes a very very faint noise when it comes on. Is this normal? If not what can be done? I've had it since it was first released on the market several years ago and I'm wondering if it may be getting tired.
So a few weeks ago I was in Sony Vegas editing a video and suddenly my mouse and keyboard both became unresponsive and a loud buzzing noise started coming out of my speakers. I left it for a few minutes but nothing happened, there was no blue screen of death, no error message,nothing. so the only thing I could do was force a restart.
Over the next few days the problem continued in graphical/CPU intensive programs (such as photoshop, Vegas, fsx, etc), and all I could do was restart. Not once did I see an error message. I did originally think that it was due to an overclocking (4.4 GHz) however I checked my temperatures and they didn't ever peak above 60-70.Neverthelss, I underclocked back to 3.3 but still experienced the problem. I read online that I should do a clean install of windows so I did that, and up until now I thought the problem was solved. And a couple of minutes ago I was playing age of empires and the computer froze and then The buzzing started again.
I know this doesn't really give much away to my problem but i'm just as confused.
My laptop has recently started making the little beep noise that would occur when inserting a usb device etc. but i haven't inserted anything into the laptop at all?
I have checked various windows device programs but to no avail, there are no yellow triangles in the device manager, so i'm unsure as to what has caused this?
I have also system restored but it still proceeds to make the noise.
I'm having this strange noise every time I'm 10 minutes into a game (Stalker COP) and I noticed that when I'm using a VGA analogue cable my display starts to tremble, the noise won't stop until I turn off my pc for 15-20 minutes.It is constant it varies when a game hangs or if I change my screen resolution, I'm sure it's not my monitor, fans, HDDs, ODD, graphics cards (restarted my pc without them and the noise is still there), I stressed my CPU with prime95 and all went good.As far as I can tell there's no strange smells, I checked most of my MOBO caps, nothing bad.Tried a BIOS update, Forceware update...no luck.
Right, when the monitor (rather old 16" Sharp LCD monitor) is showing the colour white (such as a Google search results page, GMail inbox etc.) I can hear a rather audible high pitched buzzing sound, no matter what brightness the screen is on. Any ideas as to why? I'm sure there is a scientific/electronic reason as to why, it's just I'm not sure what that reason is
I have a computer with external active speakers connected to the 3.5mm phone plug. I'm using win 7 32-bit and when I start my computer the speaker starts to make strange sounds, almost sounds like an old modem. I have disabled the start-up sound since I don't want that, the noise is there until I do anything with the sound driver, or so it seams. If I for example I play a sound or even mute/enable the cd volume the sound stops and don't come back until the next time the computer is started. I have had the computer on for a long time without doing anything and the sound don't stop until I do something with any sound or sound setting.
Additional things I have tried so far to fix the problem but not succeeded:
1. I have been into BIOS and the sound does not start in BIOS, it is when windows is starting the sound starts.
2. Re-installed driver
3. Tried to set the register DrvAzComIdlePowerState and a few more to 00 00 00 00.
i bought my computer in january of this year, a Toshiba Satellite L745 SP4146CL Like two months ago it started freezing suddenly while playing any game and making this weird noise, and i have tried like waiting if it finally does something, but i always have to turn it off. This week it did some of those noises but now, when it freezes and the noise, after the shut down it wont turn on again like for.... 10 minutes... and so on... before it crashed like once in a week or less... now its crashing like every 3 or 4 hours even if i am not playing...
I used to get a crash dump opening certain folders, usually was one of my car picture folders, recently it's my downloads with my minecraft etc in it.. I've run check disk but it happens over and over and over, never fails.The bug check is as follows 0x000000F4 (0x00000003,0x87558828,0x875899 4,0x8321CD60)When it runs check disk it deletes thousands of orphan files it tells me, 12kb in bad sectors, deleting corrupt file record segment 37572, deleting index entry for a ton of dll files. Also since this started my computer is convinced it isn't genuine windows when it really is..
i'm trying to create another partition so i can run windows 7 or xp, am following a tutorial on Internet showing how to do this and everything is working great until i click finish on the new simple volume wizard. then the pop-up appears, warning that clicking yes will change the basic volume to some other volume (dynamic i believe) and that i would not be able to start other operating systems from it. i click yes anyway.now disk c is labeled crash dump when it was previously labeled as a primary partition. and the header bar by disk 0 is now green rather than blue (i think it was blue).new volume (f is the new volume i created.i tried system restore but this computer has only been running for an hour and we have not created any restore points yet.
Recently re installed windows 7 from my windows 7 disc.Hard drive was formatted.Worked fine for about 4 weeks then it crash dumped.When i re start the laptop it goes to windows error page and goes to system repair or start windows normally. Either of these starts windows then goes blank and re starts.When i go into the bios and boot from a disc it starts windows but then the windows screen shows but it has no start up and just freezes. I have tried to re install windows again and it get to the language settings page and the goes starting windows and it does not do anymore just stays on the strating windows page.
It can be any game from something like Minecraft to Battlefield 3 which causes problems for me. The first conclusion I could make was that there may be a problem with my Video card as playing high end games like BF3 can be very demanding on the average computer. I have updated drivers and tried to fix it to no end. These BSODs seem to happen at least 1-3 times a day. The crash dumps can happen both when starting up the game or while I am playing it. I don't know whether any of this information is useful or whether it is even related to what can be seen by analysing the files from sf-diagnostic. All the files needed should be attached.
I've had three BSOD's in three days now all while playing either Skyrim and Dead Island. I have the three individual crash dumps attached.The video card I am using is new to the system and has had its drivers updated to Nvidia's latest (not those from the manufacturer's homepage).My guess is that I'm either having some kind of conflict with drivers here or that my PSU is inadequate but without being able to decipher the information in the dumps I can't tell. BSOD's are not my specialty at all but I don't want to simply ignore this.
I tried searching first but I seem to have trouble finding the proper terms to narrow the search enough... So I just post this.I put together a HTPC for 24/7 usage (windows media center and iMON remote control, spotify, PowerDVD for Blu-Ray movies). Minimal amount of additional software installed. The problem is it locks up often. The whole Windows 7 goes fully unresponsive (all you can do is power off -> on). It rarely stays responsive for 48 hours. No crash dump is generated. The event log shows nothing special, mainly two error items, one related with errors on Microsoft Security Essentials and the other is Circular Kernel Context Logger session failing to start.The main question is: what is there to do, is there a program that could monitor which other program seems to halt the system? I'd hate to go through eliminating each and every software/hardware component... The second question is: just in case, does anything below ring any bells what might cause the problem?
My wife's laptop has developed a bad habit of randomly locking up to the point you have to hold the power button to shut the laptop off. I'm just wondering if it's possible to get Windows to write a crash dump off events like that, or is that at the point where it's just not going to happen even with the correct options selected?
The laptop is a HP G62 Notebook PC running Windows 7. More exact information can be provided if needed.
i have recently had a crash dump file appear in c:windowsminidump.i am uploading it here, for those who my wish to review it.however, i cannot specify what the cause of thes problem my have been.
I have been dealing with this problem for a long time but something gotta happen. The random restart happen well randomly during idle, game play, surfing the web or anything that has to do with the computer. One minute I'm enjoying myself and the next I see the Dell logo. No BSOD just loads back to desktop. I have searched the forums and have nothing out there that gives ME and idea of what's going on. I have formatted and reinstalled the OS and it still happens. It happened before and After I upgraded my PSU and Graphics card. It's happens multiple times a day. Now my second issue. I have I play AION and during game play I hear a LOAD crackle through my speakers and I'll hear it for a range of 2 sec to 10 sec and then the system restarts. No BSOD on report. This also happened before and after new PSU and graphics card and before and after format reinstall. I've updated my graphics card sound card, Bios, chipset, everything I can find a driver for I've installed it. I cant find any resolution. I doubt this forum will have an answer for this problem but while I'm listing my problems I'll add this one. During gameplay of AION I will get a message that AION game client OTCbuildclient32_wogg(30) has stopped working. I have also gotten a couple alerts from Norton that that same process is using a lot of memory.
I rebooted my labtop everything came back ok but the webcam application that normally is under utilities i went to toshiba website installed their so called application but it's not doing anything, what can i do to get it back.
I have a brand new Windows 7 64bit build with a clean install from an Upgrade CD and noticed in BIOS that my 1st boot device must be "Windows Boot Manager" or it asks for the CD. I only have 1 storage device (SSD) in the system and when I look under Disk Management in windows, it shows a 100MB "EFI System Partition" in addition to the primary partition (which is labeled "Boot, Crash Dump, and Primary Partition" - so it seems to have the boot files on it).
As I only have the one non-optical storage device I did not set any partition parameters at install. I Attempted to do a Startup Repair with the windows disc to maybe try and delete the EFI partition and got the "... System Recovery Options is incompatible with the version you are trying to repair" error. Not sure what that is. If Disk Management shows a healthy partition with "Boot" listed as being contained, why can I not select the SSD as boot device #1? I can boot perfectly fine with the Windows Boot Manager listed as boot device #1 and the SSD as #2, however it's not ideal.
on each startup/restart/reboot I get a pair of these errors, about 15 seconds apart. System is a P4 desktop, 4GB ram, conventional hdd, windows 7 ulti x64.
I've tried to find the solution myself, but it seems like no one has the same problem I have. Before I get started, I'll post my computer build in case that info is needed:
Phenom II X4 980 Black Edition G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 AM3 AMD 870 EVGA SuperClocked 012-P3-1572-AR GeForce GTX 570 Crucial M4 CT128M4SSD2 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive CORSAIR Professional Series HX750 (CMPSU-750HX) 750W 80 PLUS SILVER
Scenario:This first happened when I started playing Lineage II about a month ago. At that time, my GPU was a Radeon HD 6870. I had all the max settings on and I'd run the game just fine.. for a about an hour. After that, the screen's graphics would become "distorted" and freeze at the same time. Then, moments later, Windows would tell me that the game crashed. I'd close out the screen and then seconds later, a "honking" type noise emits from my speakers. I would try to run something else, but the graphics on the desktop would become distorted as well as I explored Windows. My temporary solution? I restarted my computer. Problem fixed... temporarily.
This problem persisted with Rift as well. I'd play for about an hour and then the screen's graphics would go haywire and freeze, followed by a crash screen and then that honking noise from my speakers would come out. The honking noise would be consecutive skips rather than one long noise ("honks" that would last for a few seconds, quiets itself down, and repeats). To give an idea as to what the noise sounded like, imagine an old car with a really whimpy honking noise that is sorta high pitched.
-Civilization V -Lineage II -Wurm Online (this game + multi-tasking on the web) -Neverwinter Nights 2
NOTE: The only game I don't happen to have a problem with (and consumes the most power out of my system) was Final Fantasy XIV.
1.) Updated all my drivers (graphics card, speakers, SSD, etc.)
2.) Ran a memory test to see if my memory was faulty (it wasn't)
3.) Returned everything back to factory settings, BIOS-wise (I OC'd a few times via TurboV EVO program that came with the mobo, but I returned all the settings back to the stock levels)
4.) Updated DirectX 11 as much as I could
5.) Ran dxdiag, only to find out there were no problems
6.) Ran Heaven Benchmarks to see if my GPU was at fault (33.6 avg FPS on max everything btw )
7.) The computer had a fresh install on the SSD, so all the drivers and such were installed on there
I can't think of anything else, but I tried a lot of things to figure out what my problem was; however, I realized that there was a place that I didn't pay attention to: Event Viewer.This is why I wrote my message on this particular forum. I figured that this was a software issue that needs to be resolved, but this is all just me guessing. Everytime I had the crashing and noise issues from running games, I would look on the Event Viewer afterwards to see if the problem was logged. This issue in particular always pops up after I restart the computer as a result of my computer crashing: (this occurred recently when I had Wurm Online with Hulu opened at the same time)
