• e7240 CONSTANT NOISE OF FAN NOISY / FAN RUNNING ALL THE TIME

  We received 2 nine E7240s directly from Dell, one for me and one for my colleague. As soon as I turned it on to build for my colleague, I noticed that the machine was overheating and the fan made a noise. Dell offers an upgrade of the BIOS that has not changed anything. They then changed the radiator, even once, that does not change and since then, they have changed the motherboard. My colleague went on vacation, so I don't know if the problem has been resolved, however, my laptop day you do not overheat (also of course as it has done for my colleague) BUT THE FAN RUNS ALL THE TIME. So much so that I think that the person in the room upstairs is using his hairdryer. Dell has replaced the heatsink of heat and the motherboard yesterday, I did the same update of the BIOS and the problem is even worse. As soon as I turn the thing, the fan runs all the time making a big noise. My predecessor was the E6500 and I was not bothered by noises, he did.

  The 7240 made so much noise that I want to throw it out the window , seriously, I go back to my old 5 years e6500, which is now very slow, I can not just take constant hair dryer of the fan noise! I'm waiting for Dell back to me, but I don't see what else they can do.

  I suspect a problem of design with newer models, someone with a laptop computer Latitude 13 also mentioned it on the Forum, someone else with an e7240 also said "I noticed the fan turns most of the time - it's quiet, but you don't know is spinning."  I just implemented, so the CPU is busy enough. "A person with the e6320 says"and the fan is noisy and turns far too often.

  I just bought a new Dell Latitude E7240 with Windows 7 laptop and had the same problem with overheating and the fan is running loudly all the time. I just fixed it on my laptop, it may not work for everyone but just in case I walked it here.

  The index for me was that the question has happened at home, not at work.

  • Using the Task Manager, I found that a "svchost.exe" process was always running at 25% of the CPU, i.e. to take 100% of one of the 4 hearts. For this you need view all processes, and that's why you need a local administrator account if she asks permission.
  • With right click on this process-online 'Go to services', you can study what services are hosted by this instance of svchost.
  • For each of these services, try to stop one at a time (if it helps) and see if the CPU usage goes down. For me, a clue was a service stuck on 'Stop' but never stopped.
  • The service which for me was the "HomeGroup provider." That's why the issue has happened at home and at work. The laptop had spotted my homegroup on my home network, but had not been able to accede. Maybe a problem with IPv6 that I could not turn on my desk.
  • In the Services tab in Task Manager, get on the service properties, which set to Disabled Startup Type.
  • Restart the laptop, to ensure that the service is stopped.

  That did the trick for me, and now the CPU remains less than 5% when idle. This isn't the problem that the fan is noisy when the CPU usage is high, but for me what rarely happens now.

  If you want to access files and printers on your home network without the homegroup feature, you can still do that the old way:

  • Network and sharing Center-Online avancΘs => Homegroup Connection-online 'use user accounts to connect to other computers.
  • Also in the settings advanced: enable discovery network. and Turn on File and Printer Sharing.
  • Then, you can click on your wifi network => add a printer.
  • If your office does not appear, click on "Not listed", then browse. As long as the network discovery and printer sharing are enabled, desktop PC should appear and you can connect using your local Windows user name and password.

  Hope this helps someone.

• What's someone to find your Apple TV remote loses its charge when idle for a period of time?

  My new Apple TV remote loses its charge when idle for a few days. I was sure to leave load for at least 9 hours, as suggested. It only is not heavy use until the battery goes down.

  I have never accused mine when I had and used it for about a week.  No problem.  It seems that something is wrong with your charger or the battery of the remote control.

• Freeze the inverter when idle for a period

  MS Windows XP: when the computer is idle (but not standby, hibernation) during and hour or more, I come back to it and it is frozen, the monitor still shows open programs (or at least some that were open), the mouse works, but I can't do anything.  I can't close programs, I can't go to START. Just hit reset to reset the works.  The monitor is a plasma.

  Any ideas?

  Hi rgstaley,

  1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
  2. You have security software installed on the computer?
  3. When was the last time it was working fine?

  There are many reasons for computer to freeze when idle.

  You can try the following steps and check if it helps.

  Method 1

  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  I suggest that you configure the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  See section to learn more about how to clean boot.

  Reset the computer to start as usual

  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

  1. Click Start , and then click run.
  2. Type msconfig , and then click OK.
     The System Configuration utility dialog box appears.
  3. Click the general tab, click Normal Startup - load all device drivers and services , and then click OK.
  4. When you are prompted, click restart to restart the computer.

  Method 2

  If the previous step fails then I suggest that you check the hard disk for errors by running the CHKDSK utility.

  How can I disable this?  I think that it is still factory testing or burn-in mode, but I can't seem to find how to turn it off.

  At least he only does when idle, but I'd rather turn it off except closing cycle through these colors.

  Thank you!

  I actually found a solution for this but what works was to reset the default monitor.  After that, this mode is disabled.

• Windows 7 64 bit using 3 GB of 8 GB RAM when idle.

  I've noticed recently that Windows 7 64 bit using 3 GB of RAM slowed.  When I start first of all, the use of the RAM is about 1.2 GB or more.  However, after that my computer has been for some time, that number slips slowly up to 3 GB without me all other running programs.  I thought it could be virus/spyware/malware, so I formatted and did a new install.  The same day as the new installation, I noticed the same behavior.

  Is this normal?  Windows 7 is recommended to use 3GB 8 GB inactive?

  Thanks in advance for any help!

  My issue was not with Windows 7 using large amounts of RAM "at random".  The question I saw consisted of RAM usage to leave about 1 GB and slowly creeping up to 3 GB and stay there until I rebooted.

  Through several days of trail and error, I found the problem.  In general, I use a download manager to download files (free download manager, FDM).  There is apparently a problem with FDM and Windows 7 I have observed that the question of the RAM with FDM run and I have yet to observe with FDM, no matter what I do.  Either way, I used this same version of FDM Windows XP and never had any problems with the use of the RAM.  Therefore, I'm not sure if it's a FDM problem or a problem with running on Windows 7 FDM (although my experience with FDM and XP leads me to believe that there is a problem with FDM running on Windows 7).
  Without FDM running Windows 7 RAM use is between 880 MB and 1.5 GB.  Everyone know the RAM on this amount use likely has several processes that run in the background as Windows 7, when idle, should never require more than that.

• Qosmio F50 - 10Z - fan cycling on and outside, even when idle

  My f50 is constantly the fan turns and turns off every couple of minutes, even when the computer is idle and does not run applications.

  SpeedFan shows that the GPU is constantly cycling between 55 and 65 degrees C even if there are no applications running (for example just after the start)-the fan kicks in at age 65, died at 55, and then slowly warms up again. The noise of the fan is noticeable (I don't think it's going full speed, however), and it is a bit abrupt and boring happen constantly and is not normal behavior. Core 1 and 2 on Speedfan are cycles between 40 and 45 C

  Outside temperature is 20 degrees, so the environment is unlikely to be a factor. I blasted air fan for dust (as much as you can because the f50 is not built to be taken by a user to the home page), but even when the fan runs at the output seems visibly warm.

  I am only drivers of toshiba running on the site (currently 7.15.11.7590)

  My main concern is that this will negatively affect the life of the fan. Am I being too picky or is there something else I could do?

  Thanks for the tips

  Hello!

  It's not easy to say what's the reason of this problem, I so a few questions:
  Did you install the laptop with the recovery disk or Microsoft?
  What operating system do you use?

  First of all, you should try to update the BIOS. You can find it on the Toshiba site:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

  Also, make sure that there is enough free space a tower the specifications that the air circulation is not blocked.

  I hope I could help a bit.

  Good bye

• Satellite A500 - 14 c: fan RPM changing even when idle

  I noticed that my fan is almost always above the silent mode.
  Even to just look at Web sites, send emails... the fan continues to go from top to bottom... and usually stay in rpm higher for a while.

  Air coming through the vents isn't hot, so I wonder if it's a problem of overheating or any drivers/BIOS problem.
  Anyone?

  Hello

  The fan doesn't always work with maximum performance because is not necessary if the temperature does not increase to a higher level.
  The module cooling fan works sometimes more fast and sometimes slower and it always depends on the temperature level.

  If the module of cooling turns faster then that would mean that the internal temperature has increased. The fan would remain at this level, if the temperature would not go down.
  But if the temperature drops then the fan might turn a little but slower and the laptop would be quieter.

  This is common behavior of laptop and nothing unusual and not the problem

• Windows 7 hard drive stolen when idle and during programs execution system

  I can hear my hard drive C beating away when my system is idle, and even though my system is running programs.

  Think it might be Firefox that uses the hard drive much - checked, uses the hd a little, but not more than usual, but I can still hear the hard drive clicking suite. So I close Firefox. Still ongoing.

  Tried to switch browsers Chrome, and even has a lot more use of the disk by cycle Firefox did. But no matter whether Chrome is open or not, I can still hear the beating of hard drive.

  Tried to use IE as my main browser, still no luck.

  I checked on the Windows Task Manager, but no 1 process shows a lot of the use of the disc. I tried then to resource monitor and 'System' appears at the top of the list of processes sorted by use of the disk. But there are a lot of sub-thingos (forgive my ignorance of jargon) ongoing enforcement under 'System', while originally the beating of disc?

  I disabled the process that has been suggested on the forums, without any change in the use of Windows Media network share drive.

  Then I saw a thread in which someone talked about disabling Marvell / RAID drivers remains other manufacturers (where the system has no installed RAID array) slow down its use of the disk.

  I have no RAID array on my PC either and noticed a Marvell driver under the heading 'System' using SysInternals Process Explorer.

  I also noticed that some other drivers stray, maybe one of them is originally the use of disk problem?

  It is terribly random - will start and continue for 30 to 40 minutes and then stop for hours, then start again.

  I don't think it's a virus, as I have Avast! and can use the shield of file to control what files Avast! analysis - strangely, although I hear the hard drive in use, Avast! does not pick up/scan all files that the disc is supposed to be using.

  Here are the various screenshots that I downloaded in the hope that someone can help me solve this problem of disk hard until it wears out and dies a lonely premature death: P - thanks

  I downloaded SysInternals Process Monitor of

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/Sysinternals/bb896645.aspx

  But the program is much more complex than Process Explorer and I have no idea how to use it.

  Can someone tell me please how to run a trace through the events that may help determine which of the processes analyzed in running process monitor is / are the ones that are causing high disk usage?

  An analysis more

  Restarted in safe mode (without network) and entered the resource (part of Windows 7) monitor and SysInternals Process Explorer (in Microsoft TechNet) to see if I could pinpoint the problem.

  All the time, I was in safe mode, the hard drive kept in fly! : O

  I started first of all resource monitor and saw that the 'system' with the PID of 4 remained the more intensive process of disk. Using the disc went from 100 KB/s to 1 MB/s as before when you are connected to Windows 7 normally.

  I also saw

  svschost (netsvcs),

  Svchost (secsvcs)

  Svchost (dcomlaunch)

  and like other processes

  wmiadap.exe

  wmiprvsv.exe appear. 2 wmi processes disappeared after a short while leaving svchost and remaining 'System '.

  I closed the resource monitor shot to the top of Process Explorer and found some weird-looking process:

  Under wmiprvsv.exe, there was a file called locale.nls, with no manufacturer name/description (unlike some other services/sys files having a "Microsoft Corporation" as their name)

  Under each of the svchost.exe process, out of all the files that have name descriptors (Microsoft Corporation), there was a little without name descriptors that caught my attention:

  A file that found in Windows/Globalization/Sorting/Sortdefault.nls

  A file called locale.nls (sorry don't remember the location of the file)

  A file that found in Windows/Registration/R00000000000.clb

  A file that found in Windows/System32/C_28591.nls

  All the files above with the exception of the R000000.clb one found in svchost, lsass and csrss.

  The R00000.clb file was found only in svchost.

  I noticed these files because they had no name description next to them - could all of the files I mentioned contribute to the problem of the use of disc?

  Hard drive stolen continues even after I Logout

  I have my own PC and use an administrator account (not the default "Administrator" account, but my own account with administrator privileges).

  I tried logging my regular account and another account limited, I have on the PC. Not only the disk thrashing hardcontinue while I was connected and on the screen of welcome,but he continued even after I had connected to the limited account.

  Weird Hey?

• Fan noisy and slow speed for the Macbook Air with 10.11.4

  I hope you can help me.

  I upgraded 10.11.4 on my Macbook Air a couple of days. It is a model of 2013 Mid, 1.7 Ghz Core i7, 8 GB of RAM.

  I don't know exactly what my last update was - but was El Capitan any.

  I tried LANDAU and SMC resets.

  Previously, she has chugged along fine. The fan was quiet most of the time - only hit on when I used Lightroom.

  Now, the fan kicks on regularly, most of the time actually. And it's MUCH slower. Very lag sometimes when you type in Wordpress, for example. And lightroom is much slower. Also, when I use FaceTime, video often turns itself on and off--with a message informing me that it will resume when the computer cools down. Yet the back of the computer does feel not hot at all.

  I tried page of Chrome in Safari. Doesn't seem to help much.

  I am currently traveling to the Peru and did not my hard drive with my last backup, Time Machine, by hand, so as I understand it, I can't go back to a previous update.

  The Kernal task often seems to have a very high CPU %: 250 or.

  Right now, I'm trying to download the Combo, I read that this can sometimes fix glitches.

  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  The kernel uses excessive CPU cycles. Here are a few possible causes for the State. Some may not apply to you.

  FileVault

  Please, open the security and privacy pane in system preferences and click the FileVault tab. If there is an indication that the encryption or decryption is in progress, wait (possibly several hours) so he can finish and see if there is an improvement.

  Limitation of the

  When he does readings of high temperature in the material, or a MacBook battery low voltage readings, the kernel can try to compensate by interrupting the processor to slow them down and reduce energy consumption. This condition may be due to:

  ☞ an accumulation of dust on the logic board

  High ambient temperature ☞

  ☞ a defective battery or worn in a laptop

  ☞ the malfunction of a cooling fan, temperature probe, a probe or some other component voltage internal

  Note that if the problem is caused by a sensor, there can be no real overheating or undervoltage.

  If the computer is portable, try with and without the power adapter connected. If pigs kernel_task processor only on current alternative, load is causing the machine to heat up. This behavior may be normal for some models, but it can also be an indication of a hardware failure.

  Apple diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, although not very reliable, is sometimes able to detect a fault. For more in-depth material test, an appointment of 'Genius' to an Apple Store, or go to an other authorized service provider.

  If all goes well with the material, then everything that you can do to improve the cooling can help.

  Software installed

  The software installed by the user which includes a device driver or other kernel code can thrash of the kernel. This category includes virtualization, such as Parallels and VMware software, as well as products 'anti-virus' more commercial. Some system monitoring applications, like "iStat", may also contribute to the problem. You can test this possibility to completely disable or remove the software according to the instructions of the developer or start in safe mode. However, it should be noted that the deactivation of a modification of the system without removing or test in safe mode is not as easy as you think.

  Corrupt NVRAM or MSC data

  Sometimes, the problem is cleared up by resetting NVRAM memory or MSC.

  External display

  Connect an external display to some models of MacBook Pro while the lid is open can cause this problem. If necessary, use the external clamshell modescreen.

  Other devices

  Disconnect devices wired everything except those needed at startup and remove all the expansion cards of third parties (if your model.) If the problem is resolved, reconnecting devices one by one by one until you identify the culprit.

• Portege Z830 - fan noisy and almost always running

  My new Portege Z830 has the issue of noisy fan and almost always running which has been said here before.

  Recommendations were that we download bios 1.6. But I checked and that the version is already installed on my machine. I also adjusted the power save mode battery parameters as others have suggested. But that made no difference,

  All the other tips has been give in technical language far this beginner.

  If anyone has any suggestions they might put in words of one syllable and the step by step instructions, I would be eternally grateful. Thank you.

• Satellite U500 - 115 PSU5EE fan error when executing an operating system based on linux

  Hello

  last week, I have a PSU5EE U500-115 with actuall bios 1.40, running Windows 7 without a problem.

  But when running a linux based OS (like the Acronis image Boot-CD) the fan does not work and turns on only if the processor is really very hot and it is running only a few seconds on the highest State.

  This behavior can be fixed?

  Thank you

  I'm not sure that your model of laptop is Linux supported so I do not think that you will find an official solution for this.
  What you can try is to visit some Linux forum and see if anyone else has noticed the same error.

  Another thing is that U500 is not long on the market and I don't think at the moment you will find many people who have the same laptop and use Linux OS.

• Equium A100-147: Internet connection shuts down when idle

  I had a problem with my computer since I bought it, that my Internet connection is cut on me, apparently after I let the computer idle for a short period of time.

  Currently, with a direct cable connection, I can get the connection up and running again by disconnecting and then reconnecting the cable, but sometimes that doesn't work and I have to restart my internet box to raise the connection again.

  When I use the wireless, the same thing is happening, although I always reload the internet zone to re-establish the connection. It seems to be a problem of time, but I can't work on how to solve this problem. Any suggestions?

  Hello

  This sounds like a problem in the router settings (internet box)!
  My router supports an option that seems very similar to you time-out problem!

  If this option is enabled router disconnect after several minutes (this depends on the settings) if the internet connection is no longer necessary!

  I think you should check the router options!

  Good luck
