High temperature on my Satellite A100-159

Hello

I have my laptop almost 5 months now and this week it crashed during a game, and I had to wait until it has been cooled before that I could start him again. Since then, I have installed speedfan to check the temperature when I'm just on the net and using msn the CPU is about 58 degrees, although I heard that is normal I think it is too high.

Also when I play a game or use a lot the power of my CPU temperature going up to 88 degrees, is this normal or is there something wrong with my cooler? Since today he has also made more noise then before I think. Is there a program where I can check my fan speed with also tried to check for laptop, but it gave the same temperatures and says nothing about my speed of ventilation or stuff like that. So, what should I do?

There is no plant more but I stopped playing the game because I have to study too much :)

No, 58 is certainly not too high
It of also not uncommon that the temperature rises to a higher level during the game or run other applications of strong performance.
In this case different devices such as CPU, GPU, running with a maximum yield and produce a lot of heat.
I can t give you a tip about the fan speed and noise coming from the cooling module, but of course, it is possible to s that the fan is malfunctioning.

Eager for overheating the laptop to be used on the table and not on the knees. (some people use in the bed or knees).
Also, make sure that there is enough free space around the laptop for the circulation of air correctly.

But if you think there could be something wrong with the fan then you could ask a technician for a control. I think that the guarantee is valid. Am I wrong?

  • Re: High temperature on the Satellite A100 PSAA8l

    My laptop Satellite A100 PSAA8l is very hot to can up tp 95 temp... scares me!

    Can someone HELP me?

    Hello

    It s a time ago since the A100 was released on the market.
    It could be a main reason why the temperature rises to this level.

    Cooling modules are blocked and that air can circulate properly.
    Check if there is dust and debris inside the cooling modules.
    Usually, you can use a jet of compressed air to get rid of the dust.
    I did it in the past and it helped.

    In addition, make sure that there is always sufficient free space around the laptop.
    Don t use it on knees, sofa or in the bet.

  • Satellite A100-159 - FAN is always on

    Hello
    I bought Satellite A100 159 with T2500 and Radeon x 1600.
    Fan is always on. I've updated the bios and it did not help. What is more, when I put the driver ATI PowerPlay to use and when the battery is low, I get only a few scratches on the desk and the computer restarts. Windows indicates that there is problem with unknown driver.
    What can I do to stop the FAN - my CPU temperature is 28-31 cellsius and the frequency is always set to 2000 MHz (everest watch 1995 MHz).
    I think that, this fan should not run while the temperature is so low. My old centrino almost always has 40 to 50 degrees and the fan is always disabled.
    What can I do more to make the fan only works when the temperature is above 40 degrees?

    Kind regards

    I should add that my old Acer TM 4502 with Centrino has SpeedStep that makes of changing speed from 500 MHz to 1600 MHz CPU. I would like to do with my new Satellite - it might help with the problem of fan. If I change the speed of the CPU that the temperature will be lower and the fan does not spin all the time.
    I noticed that the fan is stopped when I start the computer in the morning when it is cool. After windows starts when rizes temp fan starts and doesn't stop.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    The Toshiba power saver is responsible for the processor and the fan controlling.
    Please open the energy saving mode you are using, choose the menu Basic tab and change the option method of cooling to a lower level. In addition, you can change the method of control of the CPU to auto.
    This procedure should allow to change the use of the fan.

  • Cursor duplicate in Word while scrolling on Satellite A100-159

    I have a satellite A100-159. I have the following problem: in Word the cursor happens sometimes while scrolling. This means that during the scrolling I see two sliders that is 'left behind' and a real cursor (when I use PG. prev or PAGE down or box that disappears the cursor "left behind"). I already reinstalled Word and in other applications it doesn't seem to be a problem (but I have to say that I use the Word most, with large documents).

    Any ideas to solve the problem?

    Best regards, Eddy

    I think that happens because of fast scrolling of large, long word documents.
    Unfortunately, I think it's a matter of Word and there is nothing to do.
    But you suggested that happens sometimes, and only in Word so I think that it s a big problem.

  • Re: Cannot install Win7 driver display for Satellite A100-159

    Hello world

    I have a problem with my old laptop satellite a100-159. I still use it as a second computer. Given that the display drivers for windows 7 are available at toshiba, I decided to update the laptop from XP to 7. After the update, I downloaded the display driver for win 7 (http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/display-20091109135931.zip)

    But here's the problem: when I unzip the file, the file "tinstall.exe" does not work. It comes to the .exe file that needs to install the driver. I also had the message "this program could not have installed correctly". As of the present results, I'm looking to 1024 x 768 while the resolution is 1280 x 800.

    Any suggestions for me? I know that the laptop is old, but that the correct display driver, it is rather useless.

    Jeroen

    Please try to run the install using setup.exe.

  • For Portege 3490 AC adapter does not work with the Satellite A100-159

    I have a supply of 15V 120W car (or plane Kensington). It works very well with a Portege 3490CT. It doesn't do a thing with my Satellite A100-159 new. The power supply provides also 15 V 6 a. Can someone tell me why the Kensington work?

    Or does anyone have a diagram to a power supply adapted myself, preference of 11, 5-14, 12(4) and 24 VDC (23-28: 8)?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    I can give t you an answer why it does not work but usually you need to use the adapter for vehicle recommended by Toshiba. Incorrect adapter may damage the laptop!
    I think that the card for Portege 3490 adapter is not compatible with Satellite A100

    That the two car/truck/Air 120W laptop charger must be compatible:
    PX1237E-1NPO
    PX1235E-1NPO

  • Satellite A100-159: expansion of memory RAM problem

    Hello

    I have a satellite A100-159. I want to increase the RAM to 2 GB. I checked the type of memory that is supported by the laptop and ordered two modules PC4200 DDR2 SO-DIMM 1 GB of the brand 'Buffalo '. I have after installing the memory and the laptop starts fine (and detects the 2 GB of RAM). However, Windows XP always freezes after login. I reinstalled the original modules and everything works well again.

    After that, I installed both modules in other non-Toshiba laptop and here they work perfectly. I know that Toshiba recommends using some partnumbers, but if the modules work fine in another laptop computer why it does not work in the A100?

    Recommended modules are almost two times more expensive. If Toshiba wants to make money by forcing people to buy expensive pieces, I will never buy a Toshiba again...

    Secondly, is it possible to use DDR2 SO - DIMM 667 modules (these are less expensive than 533 modules)?

    Kind regards
    Martijn

    Hello

    > is it possible to use DDR2 SO - DIMM 667 modules (these are less expensive than 533 modules)

    Yes, it should be possible to use the modules of 667 MHz, but generally, they should be more expensive than 533 MHz modules. Of course, modules WITHOUT name are always less expensive than brand Kingston or Toshiba memory modules.

    > Recommended modules are almost two times more expensive. If Toshiba wants to make money by forcing
    > people to buy expensive pieces I will never buy a Toshiba again.

    Don t think that they will be forcing anyone to buy expensive parts. but as already said, the brand modules cost more expensive form of low quality modules. The performance of these modules is poor. If you want you can read some computer magazines and find the tests.
    They compare the performance of simple modules. So for me it makes no sense to buy a module without name of 667 MHz because for most a brand module 533 MHz is faster and better as module 667 MHz without a name.

    I use Kingston modules in my laptop satellite and I'm happy.
    Found this site with compatible memory modules for your laptop:

  • Satellite A100-159 and Motorola Bluetooth Headset HS815

    Hello
    I can not connect the headset bluetooth Motorola HS815 portable satellite A100-159.
    I disable MS bluetooth and installed the latest Toshiba Bluetooth Stack V4.00.36.
    It's my internal bluetooth device from toshiba:
    077B = "internal Bluetooth CSR (19.2) v2.0 EDR.

    (1) I turn on the headset HS815
    (2) the Bluetooth manager sees a device, opening a pop-up windows where says "authentication failed", indicates the MAC ADDRESS of the helmet and ask me for the PIN.
    (3) I type in the PIN code "0000" default, but nothing happens!
    the HS815 is not connected,
    the Bluetooth Manager doesn't list any any device.

    It is:
    This Motorola HS815 headset is compatible with the bluetooth Satellite A100-159 card?

    Thanks a million in advance
    Filippo

    The error message indicates that something was wrong during the pairing process.
    This is silly, but important questions.
    Are you sure you have connected your headset and no other in the range? Really, the PIN is "0000" and you tyed in properly (maybe caps lock was on to your keyboard and something else has in fact been registered)?
    Delete all pairing if it exists, and then try again.

  • What temperature is essential - Satellite A100-411

    Hello

    I use my laptop for DJing and a stop would be terrible on a concert.
    I installed speedfan on my Satellite A100-411 and when I was in her setting, I was wondering, what temperature would be critical, causing a cpu stop or other errors.

    SpeedFan is followed by three CPU (Core Duo T2250), HD (Hitachi Travelstar) and GPU (GeForce 7600) temperatures.
    It would be great to know what are the maximum temperatures of security of each of the components of this.

    Sincerely,
    DJ Hondai

    Hello

    Unfortunately, I n t think that Toshiba provides such information in any other public document.
    I found in the user manual that the requirements of the environment and the laptop should be used in the temperature range of 5 to 35 ° C.
    But there is nothing about the temperature of the single components.

    You can try to check the Intel website for details of the CPU and possibly it you will find information on critical operating temperature.

  • High temperature HDD on Satellite M100

    Hello!

    I have a high temperature 50-53 C (Hitachi, 100 GB) HDD in my Satellite M100. The temperature is controlled by Everest and HDDlife. Is this OK such high temperature?
    As for me, I think it's too high, because the drive HARD Hitachi 55 C the maximum working temperature.
    Thank you.

    Hello

    In my opinion, all these diagnostic applications such as everest etc provide 100% the right temperature.
    Well, all laptops Toshiba supports protection against overheating. The laptop will stop if the temperature rises at the critical level.
    I think that the temperature is not too high because the laptop works properly.

  • High temperatures in a Satellite M70

    Hello

    hope someone can help me, I'm having a problem of overheating with my Satellite M70. Recently, the hard drive or cpu, I don't know, seems really hot after that the laptop was only a short time of use. I saw the fan at full speed before and well cooled pc, but now really won't work at all.

    When my computer decides to heat and the fan comes to life and even then not at full speed and not for a long time. I tried using speedfan, but it does not recognize my fan and he can go faster. It is not yet as something something intense, I could play half-life for example and in just 10 minutes slows down considerably.

    Grateful for any advice maxing out the fan speed, will lower the temperature of my computer by 10 degrees C.

    Hello

    Since last November, I have Satellite M70-159. I must say that in the last days I also noticed that the laptop is pretty hot but it works without any problem. To be honest, it works day and night. Just sometimes I switch off during the night.

    The HARD disk temperature is between 55 and 62 degrees. It is much more than on my old laptop Tecra with temperature of 40 degrees HARD drive.

    I've never cleaned my Satellite but maybe this is the time to do it. I don't know how old is your but maybe you should do the same.

  • High temperature CPU on Satellite M30

    Hello

    I have a Satellite M30 852 with Pentium M 1.5 GHz processor. My problem is that the heater does not start until the CPU temperature reached 70 degrees, which I think is a bit high, no mention that when it has reached this temperature I can not keep the laptop on my legs because it burns... and also to kind of warm around the touchpad and left side of the keyboard.

    My question is if there is any software I can use to take the cooler start at low temperatures, to keep, or if there is no setting I can adjust the laptop utilities to solve this problem (in addition to throttle CPU cooling where is defined in the performance).

    Thank you all in advance!

    Could PS: Anyone tell me which button support when starting, to get into the BIOS...? Because the F1, esc or del does not work.

    Post edited by: master of ceremonies

    Hello

    The temperature of 70 ° C nothing unusual and in my opinion not too high.
    Is that it s not recommended to use the laptop on your legs or in bet, etc.
    You should always be sure that there is enough free space (left, right, bottom) around the laptop for the circulation of fresh air!

    Usually, the Toshiba power saver controls the cooling method and the CPU processing speed. If you want to change some settings you should the fact in the basic power saver menu.

    PS: on m30 the phoenix BIOS has been installed and therefore, you should use the F2 key.

  • High temperature CPU on Satellite A215

    Hello

    My Satellite A215 is 3 months old. I use coolfan 4.33. and my temperature is 89 degrees now... This is not normal. How is that possible? What should I do?

    To be honest, that you should not believe all you in these third party applications. For me it is certainly not the result of better and more relevant. The question is: you have problems with your laptop? Cooling fan runs on maximum speed only?

    If your laptop works well there is no reason to panic. If you notice that any part of your laptop is extremely hot I recommend you contact the service in your country, and they can check your laptop with real diagnostic tools.

    When you use your laptop to make sure that nothing obstructs the rack cooling.
