Having trouble with my Toshiba Satellite c655-s5512?
I KNOW other people are having problems with their Satellite! I WILL NEVER BUY A TOSHIBA COMPUTER AGAIN!!! OR TOSHIBA HDD's! I'm a computer programmer/IT tech and after FIGHTING with my C655 for 3 WEEKS, I have ANSWERS! First! If your satellite is still running and WILL actually boot to desktop(YAY FOR YOU!) then DELETE these Toshiba apps IMMEDIATELY!
Toshiba Speech Synthesis
Toshiba HDD/SDD Alert
Toshiba Supervisor Password Utility
Toshiba Service Station
Toshiba HDD Protection
These Are BUGGY/CORRUPT files that will KILL your computers speed (5-10 minutes for browser to load!) Also, one of them(not sure which) KILLED MY HARD DRIVE! Had a 320GB Toshiba 2.5inch Internal HDD. I pulled it and scanned the HDD discs(surface test) with OS still installed, 2789 errors! I haven't seen that much RED on a surface test since I recovered files for a guy who's wife loaded his laptop into the DISHWASHER and ran a cycle! BAD BAD BAD
If you were like me and lost everything, mine during a factory re-install (it crashed in the middle), then this IS the route I would take! Buy an OS recovery disc, I sell them on eBay ($12.00 free First Class shipping) http://www.ebay.com/itm/181142318431?var=&ssPageNa...
, then visit ( http://support.toshiba.com/support/modelHome?freeT... ) for ALL your drivers and Factory Apps. DO NOT INSTALL THE ABOVE FILES!!!!! Not worth the trouble!
I unfortunately had to buy a whole new HDD! I used a 160GB temp HDD, RAN GREAT WITH NO ISSUES! We will see once I transfer my OS to the new HDD. Any other questions, hit me up directly at CyberSammy@live.com! I sell ALL OS VERSIONS of my Recovery Disc (except 8). It is COMPETELY ON THE LEVEL! All you need is an Authentic Copy of your Windows (your o/s & bit rating here) Product Key. These discs will install on BLANK NEW HDD's! No Saving what Is totally DEAD!!!! here is the link to CHEAP Recovery/Restore/Re-Install bootable discs(SWEET DEAL @ $12.00!!! Look at my Feedback!)
click link below and FINALLY get your laptop BACK!!!

sounds like you have resolved most of your problem by reinstalling the os & hopefully you installed it @64bits. looks like a complicated fix & if done well, the just add advast antivirus, spybot search & destroy & you should be set. hopefully this was helpful.
