Fan turning endless on Satellite P300-20w

Hello

I have a very big problem with my Thosiba. The fan is running and running...

Sometimes when I do anything!
CPU is less than 40 °; GPU is 44 ° (Everest).
It's not hot, then why is this laptop so hard, why is the fan always running (is there more of a fan?)?

So I tried to reduce this NOISE by Vista-parameters and Powerplay... nothing changed...
So I tried to find something in the Bios settings... There is no other choice!
So I tried Speedfan... nothing
So I tried some books below for air flow... nothing... it works...

I'm really frustrated... because as a musician and teacher, I bought this laptop to compose and converge... and now this noise... That's a shame.

I bought the laptop in may, so I do not think that the fans are dirty... oh man... and one thing apart from the noise, under Vista, I have freezing problems...

Can someone help me?

Hello

There is no special tools for the fan control.
But you can change some settings of Vista-> Toshiba Power Saver power management

Here's an interesting how doc:

You should take a look in the cooling method. If the CPU fan noise seems too strong, a setting that maximizes the battery life will also cause the CPU fan turn on less frequently.

    Is could someone please tell me what is the price of the cooler?

    The prices are not the same in all European countries. What you can try is to contact Toshiba service in Sarajevo. I guess one of them must be in the capital. They can tell you how much it costs.

    You can also try Googling around online and buy it. Good price, you can find it on eBay.
    You want to exchange it only?
    Without maintenance manuals, I mean that it can be quite risky.

  • Failing to turn off the Satellite P300

    When I try to turn off my laptop (Satellite P300 with Windows Vista Home Edition), which is to end the session and cut off the power supply, the laptop restarts rather than turns off.

    How can I correct this defect?

    Satellite P300 is not the latest model laptop, and I assume that you have some time?
    Since when you noticed this problem?
    You installed Microsoft updates before it starts to happen?

  • Satellite P300 - randomly turns off the power when connected to the external monitor

    Hello

    I have a Satellite P300, Intel Core 2 Duo T9400 2.53 GHz, 4 GB RAM, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650 512 MB, running Windows 7 ultimate x 64.

    Recently, I bought an AOC v22 led screen and connect my conputer via HDMI. Everything works fine, but sometimes my computer off just randomly. I might have something to do with my computer overheating, so I clean the fan, but this was not good.

    I think it has something to do with the LED screen because my computer was never off his own.

    Hello

    So this also happens if you n t connect laptop to external display? So, you can determine what is causing this problem.

    If the computer laptop doesn t turn off without external monitor, you should try to update the BIOS and the display driver. Two updates that you can find on the Toshiba site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    You close the lid if you have connected the external monitor?
    What operating system do you use?

    In addition, it would be interesting to know how you clean the laptop. That's why I use the jet of compressed air that can blow the dust from the cooling fans and you don't have to disassemble the laptop.

  • Satellite P300 - on power turns on, but nothing happens on the screen

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite P300-1F0, yesterday it was working fine, I turn it off nothing extraordinary happens.
    Although later, when I went to turn on I pressed the power button, but the screen was not working, I tried to connect an external display but nothing showed on this subject, although the power of lights was turned on, the drive CD opened and closed as normally don't and I could hear the fans work.

    That I realize windows 7 welcome sounds were not playing even after a few minutes with the laptop turned on and the laser mouse was working only for a few seconds before it shuts down.
    It was when I started to believe that this was not a screen problem, but something else.

    I have read a few forums and I tried to unplug the power cable, remove the battery, press the power button for 60 seconds and turn it on and it worked, it worked fine, I used the computer for a few hours without any problem.

    Today the same problem has occurred, and I tried to set the same way as I did yesterday, hold the power button for 60 seconds, but this time it did not work. I retried it for 3 to 5 times and nothing.
    After a few hours, leaving the computer is off, resting, I retried the process and now it worked.
    Now I'm afraid to turn off the laptop, because I need a lot of time and patience range to activate.

    What could be the problem and how do I solve it?
    Can you help me?

    cumpliments,

    > I have read a few forums and I tried to unplug the power cable, remove the battery, press the power button for 60 seconds and turn it on and it worked, it worked fine, I used the computer for a few hours without any problem.

    Yes, this workaround is sometimes useful to bring back the unity of life.

    > What could be the problem and how do I solve it?
    It's hard to say what causes this. Satellite P300 is an older model mobile phone, so it is possible that among the pieces of equipment begins to malfunction.
    It would be interesting to know if the use of the various modules of RAM would change the functionality of the laptop. If you have compatible RAM modules spare you can test it.

    In the worst case, it could be possible that beginning of motherboard laptop malfunction.
    It would be the worst case I hope for you that it s not mobo related issue.

    PS: Check if your BIOS is up to date. In case this is not the latest version, try to update the BIOS.

  • Satellite P300 - turns on automatically

    Hello

    I have a Satellite P300 with Windows Visa Home Premium as the operating system. When I turn the computer off (through stop) it stops successfully. However, after some time (between 15 min - 2 hours) on the computer automatically without any intervention on my part.

    Counsel on how the issue could be fixed?

    Hi siahrigi,

    Have you plugged the external devices to your laptop as a printer, mouse, LAN cable or something else? If yes unplug all of them and the only cable that must be connected is AC/DC adapter. All other devices, you must delete and then test whether your laptop turns on again.

    In addition, I would go into the BIOS and load the default settings. Also make sure the Wake up on LAN is disabled and save these new settings.

    By the way: since when did you notice this problem?

  • Satellite P300 - is - it normal that the buttons CD/DVD turns on the laptop?

    Hi all

    My laptop is Satellite P300 - PSPCCE. I noticed that if the laptop is off and press the CD/DVD function it turned on and play Windows media player.

    My question is - is this normal, and if this normal how to disable this option?

    Thank you

    Hello

    It's definitely normal. It's not on the new Satellite P300, but also on the old models of laptops with these buttons.
    To be honest I don't know that I don't know if you can turn it off. Either the buttons are in use or not, but, as far as I know, there is no option where you can disable this option to boot the laptop but then use buttons located under the operating system.

    I'll test it on my Satellite A300.

  • Satellite A135-S4666 - cooling fan turns on and turns off every 20 seconds

    Hello

    I'm from the Argentina... I just bought a new Satellite A135-S4666 and I noticed that the cooling fan turns on and turns off every 20 seconds.
    It is a little annoying and it disctracts me of what I'm doing... is there a solution?

    Thank you very much.

    Hi Martin,

    This behavior is perfectly normal and nothing to worry about. If you find the noise irritating cooling fans you are likely to change their behavior by using the utility of Toshiba power where you should be able to set the cooling mode to run more quietly. I think trhe default is to allow the CPU to run at full speed, which will, of course, the fans turn every few seconds, but by reducing the speed of the CPU, the heat produced will be lower and therefore the fans will run less often.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite P300 - screen empty since turned on, but sometimes works well

    HELO,

    I have a Toshiba Satellite P300-1F0.
    The screen is blank when I turn it on, even the splash screen, and I can't hear the sounds of windows startup.
    Although if I turn it on, and besides, it will work after a few tries, sometimes it works the first time, others, I turn on and off like 20 times until he finally started working. When it turns on, it works perfectly.

    I tried:
    by pressing the power button for 1 min while the charger and the battery
    Manually check the RAM.
    reinstalling and updating graphics and monitor pilot card.
    shaking the lid to check if there is a broken cable
    but none of these things worked

    I also noticed that the computer works with an external monitor (TV) connected via hdmi.
    If I turn on the laptop, the screen is blank, no sound Windows played and after a few minutes I plug the cable hdmi, the Tv shows that windows was, and sounds begin to work from there.

    When you are connected to the TV, I try to turn on the screen by pressing (windws key + P) but it does not work.

  • Satellite U500 - 1 6 (PSU9ME) - annoying fan turn on / off constantly

    Hello

    Two days ago, I bought a brand new U500 - 1 6. One thing that is annoying, the system fan. Especially when sitting in a library, as students do sometimes...

    System information:
    CPU: intel core i5 430M - 2, 26-2, 53 GHz
    GPU: Geforce 310M
    OS: Windows 7 64-bit

    I want the machine to shut up, so I use the eco-utility from Toshiba, where I have the cooling method: battery life. The problem is that the fan is always light up even at idle, and while I only surf the web.
    I installed the PC Health monitor and idling it looks like this:
    CPU temperature going from 36% to 40%, then the fan turns on and cools down to 36% more. Then there is silence for 1 minute and then the fan starts running again.

    I tried several things like updating BIOS, setting the frequency of the [low] dynamic processor and using basic design of Windows 7 instead of aero.

    Now, I installed a tool called SpeedFan (http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php) and understood that it is probably the GPU causing the fan turn on. SpeedFan reports: CPU around 25 ° C temperature but the temperature of the GPU around 45-52 ° C, so when GPU reached 52 ° C the fan starts...

    Would be great if toshiba could release an update of the BIOS with improved fan control. I wouldn't mind if my GPU reaches 60 ° C when I work in silence. Even tried to disable the GPU in Windows, but had no effect... :(

    Anyone have any suggestions to solve this problem? Pleeaaase :)

    I agree with Mihael. When you reduce laptop cooling method will work much more silent as before.
    I have two Toshiba laptops and can confirm this.

    For all activities of the day I recommend you use the balanced power plan and the cooling method reduced in this plan. I'm sure that you'll see the difference.

  • Satellite A300D - fan turns very hard and the laptop gets very hot

    Anyone has any advice they could offer me.

    Thank you

    Hi James

    You wrote that you have the laptop less than a year, so my question is this is already cleaned it?
    The laptop needs to be cleaned every 3-4 months and I do this every 3 months. Whenever I do I m wondering how much dust out and after this procedure the portable is a lot cooler.

    Here's an interesting article from Toshiba on this subject:
