Toshiba Satellite Pro P35-S605 beeps upon power up then crashes and reboots.

This laptop bought used. Fans were out. Replaced fans now unit starts to boot up during power on cycle. Presents the windows xp logo beeps once then crashes and sometimes it trys to boot again and other times it powers off. I briefly (less than one second) see the blue screen of death. Also the unit will not power on with the battery taken out of unit and only the a/c adapter inserted.

Can you get into Safe Mode? I suspect your configuration needs tweeking.

Also I would immediately go into the Bios and make the boot order be CD, HD.. etc. Also make note of any hidden partitions such as H, or K. Those sometimes house a mirror of the factory version of XP... like when it was new.


Good luck

I had the same problem and found that disconnecting the power lead and repositioning the ribbon cable from the on switch did the job after about 5 attempts

SOURCE: Laptop Toshiba Satellite A200 Model No. PSAF6A-02C01N fail boot

Try removing / swapping / reseating the memory.

Try booting with one stick only, if the top slot doesn't work, try booting the bottom slot. Try both sticks.

Let me know what happens.

SOURCE: I get on bootup "PXE E05 The Lan Adapter

ok, You have multiple problems here and some are not related to others. The lan issue is your LAN card. In most cases uninstalling the device from device manager and reinstalling after you have downloaded the updated drivers to use will resolve this unless the card itself is bad. The Windows issue is resolved by going to the Windows Website and downloading and installing Service pack 3. After installing Service pack 3 make sure you have downloaded the updates for MSWord and that should resolve that problem. Be advised these downloads are going to be large and take some time. The fan issue isn't really an issue. The fan is running to cool the CPU and that is a programming issue in the BIOS most likely. Check your BIOS settings and see if you have an over ride set for the fan operation. The battery can be any of several problems. I suspect the battery has a dead cell in it causing your problem however, in order to make sure you need to go through a Battery conditioning series. Go into your Power Settings and make sure you have them all set to on and to max Performance not Max Life. Reset the Low Battery threshold to never turn off and Hibernation is turned off. Leave the machine turned on without the AC power adapter connected until it dies. This takes the battery all the way down. Then connect the AC cable to charge the battery and leave the computer turned off for at least 4 hours. At that point you should be able to turn the computer on and go to the Toshiba tools and there should be a battery conditioning program there. Activate the program and let it run it's course. You may have to do this several times to get the best performance. The key is knowing when to stop. If you do not notice a significant increase in battery life after doing this process twice then you need to replace the battery and cut your losses with it. A significant increase in performance of the battery would be 10 min or greater increase in battery life after each cycle. This process should be followed every 30 days to prevent the battery from developing what they call memory which will destroy the battery.

Hi since I installed windows 7 in my toshiba satellite P35-S605 pc I haven't been able to use my tv as screen. What do I do? Thanks

You need to configure it as a second display. Connect the tv to the laptop, right-click on the desktop and choose Screen resolution, select the 2, put a resolution supported by your tv and select the Extend option.

My Toshiba P35-S611 shuts down without warning a short time (2 min-45 min) after it boots up. The battery isn't hot but the heat dissipation fins in the back are very hot.

Indications of laptop overheating problem:
  1. The keyboard and the bottom of your laptop are very hot when the laptop is working.
  2. The CPU fans are working all the time at maximum rotation speed and operate much louder than before.
  3. The laptop suddenly shuts down by itself without warning. When it just started, the laptop was shutting down after 1-2 hours and how it shuts down after 5-10 minutes of operation.
  4. The laptop works fine when it runs idle, but shuts down as soon as you start using any memory demanding applications (DVD player, image editing software, video editing software, etc.).

Solution:
If the CPU heatsink is not clogged with dust and lint completely, you can use canned air and just blow it inside the laptop through the openings on the bottom and on the sides. It’s nice as a precaution measure, but it might not work if your laptop already has a problem and the heatsink is completely clogged.
  1. Open the laptop case, so you can access the CPU fan and the heatsink. In some cases you can access the heatsink through the latch on the bottom of the laptop. Sometimes (for example Toshiba Satellite A70/A75) you have to open the laptop case all the way down.
  2. Carefully disconnect the fan cables on the system board and remove the fan. If the fan makes unusual sound when it spins (grinding sound), I would recommend to replace the fan.
  3. Clean the fan and the heatsink with compressed air.
  4. I would also recommend removing old thermal grease from the CPU and applying new grease for better heat conductivity.

My laptop will start wil windows logo and then stops it is a p35-6111 toshiba satellite with xp pro any assistance would be appreciated aaron

The problem is due to System startup failure. It could be due to many reasons like abruptly shutting down the system, Services not starting, Malware or trojans infection, Corrupt Hard drive, corrupt system files,etc.

Start your system by pressing F8 upon startup.
Select "last known good configuration that works"
Check it it can get you to your Desktop.
Reboot the system,everything will be fine.

Method 2 : Start your system by pressing F8 upon startup.
Select "Safe boot"
Check if it can get you to your Desktop.
Now, Click Windows startup button
Select "All programs"
Select "Accessories"
Select "System tools"
Select "System Restore"
and try to restore the system in an ealier point.
your system will reboot now and check if it works fine now.

Method 3 : 
Download "Hiren's Boot CD"
Below is the link
http://hirens.longcomputerservices.com/Hirens.BootCD.10.1.zip
Extract the zip file using Winzip or Winrar.
Burn the ISO image file with Nero or PowerISO in a CD.
Boot the system using that CD ( Set your BIOS to boot from CD-DVD Drive)
Select "Windows XP Mini" upon startup.
Use tools that are available in the CD

It will most probably solve your problem.
If the problem still persists Use can always Backup your important files using that CD to an external USB Drive or to any Network Share location.

That's it.

My toshiba satellite p35-s605 shuts itself off

Hi,
It certainly could be a case of a bad motherboard but i would check the air vents for dust that may have clogged up, even though the fan may appear to be working fine if there is dust built up inside the unit there is nowhere for the hot air to vent, this will in turn cause the laptop to shut down unexpectedly.
Also go into the BIOS and set it to default settings just in case someone has set a shutdown temperature.



Regards.

Toshiba P35-S605 turns off.

Nitrotrike gave you the process you should go thru to solve this problem... But before doing it, or having someone do it for you,...locate the fan or fans on your laptop, and using a vacumm **** all the dust from them... If the overheating is been caused by clogged air channels, this action will help your laptop get back to work. Let me know if it helps
