Boot Tecra 8100 - would it be CPU malfunction?

A few months ago, I had a problem with my Tecra 8100 - does not start, everything seems OK but nothing on the screen (no post). I bought another motherboard and replace the old 1 MB, but the problem remains the same: everything seems normal, led lights turn just as it should, cooler works well but nothing on the screen.

I tried to connect the external display, but there is nothing on it, too. I have two memory modules and I tried all combinations with them (they are OK).

Is it possible that the problem is something with CPU - I don't know what else could be the problem?

Please, can someone give me help!

I assume you mean on this subject:

Well, as mentioned in the first thread, it's not easy to say what could be wrong.
Of course, it is possible that the CPU malfunctions and, therefore, you cannot use your laptop's!

But these are only suggestions, and no one will be able to provide an exact error diagnostic.

  • Tecra 8100 hangs up and CPU gets hot

    I updated the bios and the performance max cooling and the dynamics processor and then put in a new HD. I then installed Win XP.
    During the installation of the cooling fan was still running and completed the installation of the OS. Now, my laptop crashing all the time. The hanging of the changes of time (between 5 and 60 minutes).

    I noticed that the fan rarely during 5 s maximum, and the computer gets very hot. The fan is supposed to turn all the time by running and changing speeds according to temp or is it normal that it be turned off. Are there steps that I missed during the installation or special drivers to install.

    Hi frank.

    Tecra 8100 is a little older. Am I wrong? I checked the page of the Toshiba driver and there is not a lot of XP drivers for this Tecra series. Most of the drivers are for OS W2k Win98and.

    I recommend you to check the cooling fans. Maybe dust and debris inside prevents air flow correctly and so the laptop can not be cooled very well.

    It s a fact that stuck fans are mainly responsible for overheating problems

  • Tecra 8100 - CPU Upgrade

    Hello
    I have an old Tecra 8100. I've updated the 700 to 900 Mhz CPU. It works but the CPU is always set to 100 x 7 = 700 Mhz. I think this would work if I find a tool that can update the record DMI for the CPU. DMICFG can read the values but could not write them.
    Could someone tell my worms a solution?
    I think there is a Toshiba tool for this.

  • Tecra 8100 CPU gets too hot

    Well, some may remember my previous post about the fan activation in my Tecra 8100.

    This laptop came to me as a gift by a customer, because the screen didn't work. After some research, the problem was the internal cold cathode that was broken. Once replaced: Yes! a free book for me! It was a Pentium III 650 Mobile, with 64 MB of RAM and a 12 GB hard drive. I replaced all the components (which are now on sale, btw), and now has a Pentium III 850 Mobile, 512 MB of RAM and a 40 GB hard drive. Someone gave me a card PCMCIA of WiFi 11 Mbit/s, and now how it works with Windows XP Professional and updated Toshiba Utilities and drivers downloaded from Toshiba USA.

    What's the buzz? SpeedFan, Motherboard Monitor and other monitoring utilities reported temperatures up 72a? Aºc in the processor. I opened the computer laptop and put thermal paste instead of the sticker that has the heat sink. Temperature guard high and utilities Toshiba even with parameters ' cooling high performance "does not have the fan to cool the cpu...

    I hangs at all, but the business cards and pcmcia laptop have too hot even with the system works with any of the applications running. Lowering of the CPU clock or the ratio helps not at all.

    I think putting a fan somewhere extra to force air circulation and that cool the cpu, unless...

    ... Toshiba could develop a utility that allows you to directly control the fan speed. I don't know if the thermal management is hardware or software-driven. If it is a software-driven, it should be easy to create a utility that directly access the fan and temperature records. It would be MUCH better than simply let the computer decide when and how long to activate the fan.

    I'm sure that Toshiba engineers are busy with more important things which will not create the utility for us, so...

    .. What to check or do to cool the CPU at more appropriate values?

    Thank you all!

    Hello

    As in you previous announcement describes the Toshiba power saver controls the CPU and fan usage.

    This software works very well, and if you use the laptop as prescribed, you should not get all the problems and overheating problems.

    The problem is that you have changed all the devices and parts on you laptop. The new parts are effective, but produce more heat.
    On the laptop you can cool the CPU with a small fan, and if she goes out, it is necessary to decrease the performance of the processor.
    It is a simple fact. All these functions can be set with energy saver.
    In addition, it is very important that your cooling module is clear and free from dust and debris obstruct the work of fan.

  • Tecra 8100 - CPU max, DVD - ROM and BIOS update issues

    1. I have a 500 MHz processor on my 8100. I would like to upgrade to maximum capacity. I think it's 800 MHz since it is the highest, the series went to.
    But if it's 800 MHz, any Mobile PIII on this frequency do? Or should I check for special settings of the processor?

    2. I don't have a floppy, or ways to get drive one. And I'm not going to ebay one just for an update of the BIOS. Any ideas? A bootable CD with the files will do?

    3. What is the location of the DVD-ROM and what alternative models can I use? The 8200 went up to 8 x DVD - RW. Could I go further?

    Thank you. I hope that my post is OK like this instead of three different positions.

    1 take a look at the other Tecra 8100 models to determine which processors are compatible.

    2. I don't think that would work a bootable CD, you must follow a special procedure to update the BIOS and requires a floppy drive. If there is a version of Windows, you must use that instead.

    3 upgrade the DVD player can be difficult because you must use the correct master/slave settings, and it must have the same design of the façade of the original.

    Personally, I'm selling the laptop and buy a second hand faster one. It can work out to be cheaper.

  • Question about CPU on Tecra 8100

    Hello.

    I think I bought the toshiba tecra 8100 on summer (when I had the money), but I have question. What is this laptop processor?
    I read it as 600 mhz, 700 mhz, 800 mhz and 850 mhz, but what really are? Or it's possible overclock via the bios etc?

    Hello

    I Don t understand the question is what a laptop processor. It s the thing that makes your 'computer' computer or think. No matter what.
    The speed is set in Mhz, so it depends on the model how Mhz, the processor of your machine has.

    The exact clock speed is written on the label on the bottom of your machine. You can also try CPU - Z to determine the exact speed of your processor.

    And NO, not possible to overclock the CPU of machines it s.

All volume controls are the maximum and reactivated. All devices are enabled and correctly selected in sound control panels.

    I think the fist, you should start to update the audio driver of your laptop. Therefore, you can see the Toshiba site for an update:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    Before installing the latest version, you must remove the old version first and reboot the laptop.

    Maybe a reinstall of Windows with the Toshiba recovery disc could also be useful and in the worst case, it s only a hardware malfunction and it must swap the motherboard. :(

  • Tecra 8100 white plus-ecran only starts

    I have a Tecra 8100 (disc hard 12 GB 700 MHz, 256 MB of memory) running Windows XP and Win 98 dual-boot. It was OK for ages but suddenly developed the following fault. Any help to heal would be great. When you turn it on, normally, the screen remains blank, the hard drive is ringing and the lights are on, on the front panel. No keyboard entries do start/start etc.

    When you press the off button, sometimes it'll just off as usual, at other times it will be bleep 30 times, then stop. Keep the power off button will require cutting as it should. Sometimes, lights up the screen and you can start up to Windows XP/WIN 98 etc but the PC freezes on the way to start, or when he gets there, you can't do more with it when this happens.

    The CMOS battery is down to 2.77 volts instead of the 3 volts, it should be, I took out memory, tried both sticks of memory in slots and nothing makes no difference. I think that it is an intermittent fault, but it's a common fault, like others on another site to help describe EXACTLY the same symptoms.

    As I run an OS linux on this unit, I downloaded a version of the Bios boot image and loaded on startup, it reported the success of the update.

    My problem now is that the system starts fine but extremely short slow,.
    It takes 15 minutes to start and is virtually unusable.

    I ran several tests of comparative analysis and tests of memory of Hiram boot CD and the only problem in the report was my 700 CPU running at 114.82. And of couse running, the CPU runs at 100%.

    I deleted the cmos data and be restarted using the default BIOS settings.
    Long searched the net and cannot find an answer.

    I visited the European driver of Toshiba page and found the latest version of BIOS that is 2, 50 - WIN.
    Do you use it?

    The BIOS can be updated only run under windows! That's why I m surprised that you were able to update the BIOS, the Linux operating system running on this computer.

    Try to download the most recent BIOS version and update as described on the help page of the BIOS update.

    Module of RAM or housing could be faulty.
    You should try the RAM module in A slot in order to check the functionality.
    If the same RAM would work in the slot, but not in the B slot then I guess the slot B is damage.
