Computer Troubleshooting

[Lumicolord]

Hi,

since a few days i've got a problem rising up at my Satellite P750.

Sometimes (its not specific due to any operation)
my system freezes for a millisecond or maybe bit longer.

I don't know what to do. Neither Toshiba Analyse Tools say anything nor AntiVirus :/

Seems to be a specific problem!?

Maybe someone knows how to fix it ?

Regards and thx,

Simon

That sounds like another application is running. Try closing applications running in the background.

hi!

i got the same problem and there was no other applications running as i checked the task manager.

this is the model of my unit

satellite L750 640GB  with NVIDIA GeForce 540M

if there is another way to show the running programs in background please let me know.

thanks!

Try using a clean boot to see if it still happens under that configuration.

How can I perform a clean startup of Windows 7 without my startup items to troubleshoot a problem?

I have this problem on my l645d-s4040.   I noticed in counter strike the only time this would happen is when there was an explosion or gunfire.. so on a hunch i disabled my sound card and drivers (actually uninstalled it all together).. went to play the game... and guess what?!?! SMOOTH SAILING!!!!  so i came here and reinstalled the sound stuff and played the game again.. and guess what?!?!?  IT FROZE/STUTTERED, BUZZED!!!   this was going on for months. i wiped my drive, reinstalled everything fresh.. same issues... i figured out the sound thing just last night.. at work now, so havent been able to try other things to fix this issue.

seeker, is this what you reinstalled?

Conexant Audio Driver(v4.119.0.60; 07-14-2010; 41.89M)

You may want to try this one...

Conexant Audio Driver(v4.119.0.60; 06-14-2010; 41.89M)

...or this one too.

Conexant Audio Driver(v4.112.0.61; 03-04-2010; 35.37M)

Ya, maybe it isnt the sound card.  I did notice my model l645d-s4040 comes with the ATI RADEON 4250, but the display driver keeps installing the 4200 model.

[seeker619]

i say maybe it isnt the sound because i tried it again the next night, it stuttered..

[Lumicolord]

Clean Boot was not successfull..

Reinstalling Sounddriver changes nothin

Try using System Restore to restore a previous restore point from before this became an issue.

If that doesn't fix it, you could try a recovery as a final option. Recovering your laptop to its original, out-of-the-box state is a great way to eliminate software as a possible cause of the problem. Note that doing a system recovery will return the laptop to its default conditions, completely wiping your data. Information on how to perform a system recovery can be found in your user's guide. You can usually hold '0' (zero) while booting to begin the procedure.

If the problem persists after performing a recovery, it may require servicing.

**bleep**!

its back and even worse

any suggestions?

right now it occurs while listening to music and watching movies..

but not while gaming ...strange!!

[Peter]

I don't have any other ideas. Did you try using System Restore like I mentioned in my previous message? If so, then it might be time for a recovery and/or servicing.

[Lumicolord]

HI Peter,

right at the moment i need my laptop more than ever...just finishing my bachelor thesis on it^^

after that i´ll do a reset and report again

thx 4 your help,

Simon

Make sure you keep backups of that!
