there is a major problem from which i am suffering
whenever i play or song or play a video/movie ... the system behaves as if it is too much load for it... cpu light remains green and it hangs for a bit video stucks a lot in between

... if volume is reduced then everything is fine..... even if i connect external speakers then also everything is fine but otherwise it is really a big problem, Please help me ..... Please any one..... please help me resolve my problem !

Hi siamr,

Was this problem already existing or did it just start recently? Any recollection when and how it all started? Does this happen ONLY when playing music or video? Notice if the laptop is overheating?

By the way, we are TSF and NOT notebookforums.com

Well i think it was there already...... yes it happens when we play audio/video ...
no laptop doesnt overheat...... but interestingly this thing doesnt occurs at low volume or when external speakers/headphones attatched. !

I assume even if you adjust the volume to maximum, nothing changes on the speakers side.

If this is the case, I would definitely start with updating all the drivers from Toshiba website.

Basically i had vista ..... with vista ati video and realtek audio drivers.....
then i shifted to xp .... and downloaded latest drivers,,,, but no luck !!

Am I correct to assume that in Vista you do not have this problem? Sadly we do not have all the information on that subject (Vista to XP drivers). What we have however is a document of the steps on how to go about the shift from Vista to XP. The document also contains sites for drivers but of course they may not serve your needs.

Or you can try this first of three driver sets:
