L20-101: fan runs odd

The fan starts a few minutes very strong, slows down and stops. 3 seconds later, it again and grows strong and stops. This procedure is repeated for a few times. After that, the fan decides to ride at a slow speed constantly.

You know the problem? If someone can solve it?
Thank you!

Hi olser. It is a normal procedure for the fan, what described you. When the processor gets hot it turns the fan at full speed for a while, it does this to cool the fast processor, so that it can continue for cooling of the CPU whith a slower fanspeed.
If you wish you can also change the cooling to a more silent policy strategy. Go to the configuration in the BIOS by pressing the F12 key until the (in contact with Morrow) is displayed when you start the computer. Then go into Setup and there, go to Advance'and up to Control.You of thermal can he choose between Performance: political cooling is to maintain the performance as much as possible. Or you can choose Silent: political cooling is to keep the silence system as much as possible. P.s.dont not forget to save the changes. Hope this was of some help to you.

  • Satellite L20 - 101-, the fan won't turn on when starting.

    Hello!

    I found that the fan on my L20 lights during startup (for the first few seconds). All started about 3 weeks ago. Sometimes it can be sometimes not. Than you think. Can be a serious problem? Perhaps it is caused by a weather? In the BIOS I chose "performance" mode

    L20 - 101, Pentium M (1.73), Intel GMA915, 1 GB of RAM

    ;)

    Hello

    I don t think that this could be a serious problem!
    Usually, the fan starts to turn if a temperature level has been reached.
    The temperature inside the laptop depends on the use of the laptop

    You can also consult the laptop for dust and debris fans. Dust inside the laptop may have a bad influence on cooling performance

    But do not worry, everything seems to be ok ;)

  • Satellite L20-101: I think as 667 Mhz module runs only with 266 Mhz

    Hello

    I bought 2 x 1024Mo DDR2-RAM for my L20-101.
    First I tried 533 MHz, but the laptop does not work with them, so I bought the
    Version of 667 MHz.
    CPU - Z says that the FSB:DRAM - ratio is 1:2 If the two are in fact run with just 266 MHz.

    I've updated the BIOS with the latest version of the Toshiba-home page, but nothing has changed.

    So finally, my questions:
    1 perhaps CPU - Z is false (I don't think so...), are there any other good programms to check the parameters of memory?

    2. If the values in the program are correct: where can I change the value of the report? Is it possible to see more than a few settings in the BIOS or is it a rider?

    Thanks for your help

    Hello

    First of all it is important to mention that the Satellite L20-101 supports a FSB of 533 MHz.
    So the DDR2 400/533 256 MB (PA3389U - 1 M 25) and DDR2 400/533 memory modules 512 MB (PA3412U - 1 M 51) should work and are 100% compatible!

    If you use the module of 667 Mhz, it runs only at 533 Mhz due to the limitation of the front side bus.

    In addition, I think you have misunderstood something.
    Here are the modules DD2 and so the CPU - Z recognizes the speed of the modules as 266 MHz (2 x 266 = 532 Mhz)
    If everything seems to be ok!

  • Satellite L20-101: Question about memory PC2-4300 and PC2-4200 of mixture

    Hello

    I have Toshiba Satellite L20-101. He took 512 MB RAM (PC2-4300). Today, I added another module of RAM but this new module is PC2-4200. Is there something wrong with that? The two modules are DDR2 and 533 MHz and 512 MB.

    Hi Pawel,

    In principle, there is no problem with the mixture of slightly different types of RAM modules, but normally the total RAM will run at the speed of the slowest module. When your notebook detects the right amount of RAM from two sticks then it don't will don't... no problem.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite L20 - 101 - Sound driver causes blue screen

    1. my laptop is a Satellite L20-101. It worked fine until yesterday when I reinstalled the system (from recovery cd) after 3 years. I have updated the bios to version 1.70 (drawn from the toshiba site). Devices audio conexant could not be recognized, and if I run the installation of the latest audio drivers (sound-20080604145033), it fixes the problem, but when you restart the system and login as administrator I get a blue screen. Any help pls?

    2. given that the LAN card is working, there is a message for the installation of a driver for a network device!

    3. when the system starts up, I get an error 0 x 57 for toshiba power saver. Even when I reinstalled ver 7.03.02.I from toshiba Web site the problem remains.

    Thanks in advance
    Maxco

    Hi maxco,.

    About its pilot I n don't know why you're getting a blue screen with the latest version, but I advise to use the preinstalled version of Toshiba recovery disc. So try a point-to-point previous system restore.

    Driver LAN and Toshiba Power Saver, you can download from the official site. Relocation of these tools should work!

  • iMac 27 "mid-2011 - Intermittent problem with CPU fan running at full speed and sleep mode.

    Hello!

    My iMac 27 "has an intermittent problem with the CPU fan runs at full speed. Sometimes it happens at the time when I start it, sometimes only in my session, and sometimes only after a certain time. So does seem to be a problem of "heating".

    Second issue is with the mode 'sleep'. It may occur also at any time, at the start of the iMac, session, or after a certain time. But once he starts to go in mode 'sleep', when I wake up, it goes right back in mode after a few seconds and that it will continue indefinitely until I restart the computer.

    What could be?

  • The fan runs all the time because xinetd running more than 80% all the time.  Someone else has the same problem?

    xinetd is running at 83% or more 24 x 7 devours battery in 2 hours or less and making the fan run all the time.  I am connected to a bug report, and it turns out that it was a duplicate because someone else had the same problem.  However, I have no access to the other bug report or find anything either in the discussion forums or online.  Anyone experience this problem?

    I doubt that someone else has this problem because xinetd does not part of macOS. Have you installed it from a package of "ports" 3rd party?

  • Mac Mini (mid-2010) fan running full speed

    I went on the hard drive of a few years for one SSD OEM and the fan runs all the time.  In my view, there is a connector on the card, which has no connection with it.

    I read that this occurs when the thermal sensor is not placed on the new hard drive.

    How many connection should be here soon out of the drive to connect to the map?

    How can I fix?

    TIA

    The original HD had a sensor taped to the road with adhesive tape double faces. You had to move the sensor to the new drive. Without the detector, the fan runs at full speed.

    What ha [[ERA of the sensor on your Mac?

  • Kira 107 - fan runs constantly at 90%

    I have a new 107 Kira and the fan runs constantly at 90%, but I'm not under what anyone in particular (Chrome, Firefox, Spotify, Word, Excel). The noise is constant and unbearable.

    I see in the Performance Manager that the processor is clocked to 2.91 GHz even - if maximum speed is supposed to be 2.40 Ghz.

    Any idea the parameters to change to calm this fan?

    Thank you!

    You could start the the Task Manager and in the process tab, you will find all background applications that would appeal to the CPU.
    Click the CPU column to display all the processes of loading the CPU.

    However, you can also try to change the option of cooling method that is available in Windows Advanced Power options.
    Go to control panel → power options.
    Click here on the power plan that is currently in use.
    Then click on advanced power options and access the cooling method.

    Here you can change it from active to passive.

    In addition, you can decrease the status of CPU max at 90-95%

  • the fan runs full speed at the beginning upward

    HP Pavilion p6-2037cb bought 19/01/12.  Windows 7.  There is no error message.

    When I turn on the computer after it has stopped all night the fan running at full speed.  This has happened several times in the first month.  The first time, he stopped himself after a few minutes.  Then I learned to stop it by restarting the computer simply.  It still works, but what was once happen one or two times a month, happened twice in two days then you worry I the problem worsens.

    It never happens when I use the computer because I don't do anything that requires a lot of cpu or causes a warm-up.  I just surf the web and send e-mail.  No games or videos or TV.

    If it's a problem of connection fan I would like to know the nearest repair service.  I would rather that ship it.  But I can't find a list of authorized warranty repair service center.  I followed the links on HP Support Assistant but got sent to a site that does not list the pavilions.

    I need to know why the fan runs full speed at first upward and where to repair close to where I live.

  • Satellite P305D-S8828 - fan runs most of the time

    On my new Satellite P305D - S8828 17 "fan seems to work most of the time, fled to 01:45 for: dry then on new 50." I have the schema defined on "balanced" & the unit is based on a cooler aluminium frame (no fans on radiator).

    Basically, ventilation under the unit must be very very good compared to flat on a desk. Room temperature. is about 78 F. The unit is basically idling & the fan runs at low speed most of the time. Sometimes it ramps at high speed for about 30 seconds. I can go to Circuit City and check another, but anyone know if this is normal behavior?

    I tried a non-Toshiba notebook & I do not remember the fan being audible to all! This laptop was horrible buttons on the touchpad well, so I prefer this Toshiba.

    I think that the fan runs up constantly when a movie is playing. I heard a change in BIOS to set the fan turns too, but do not know what is available on this platform. Any help is appreciated, because I can still return unit for something else.

    BTW, Wireless G is on, but no traffic running on AC & battery not charging. The fan is sometimes we'RE for: 30 & off at 01:00.
    Thank you

  • Satellite Pro S500 - 11 c is suspended and the fan runs at full

    Hi people,

    I am experiancing a problem with my Satellite Pro S500 - 11 c where close unexpectedly, it crashes and the fan runs at full speed. Discount to zero is my only option and this resulted in the windows having to retrieve a few times so I'm fearing one requiring a major reconstruction after a deadlock of the future. Until now this issue has occurred only when you use a wireless USB mobile of 3G or internet teathering via USB with my iphone 3G. Using another USB port did not help.

    If someone has encountered this problem and have a fix? No help from Toshiba?

    Best regards

    Hmmmm... What to say. Problem is that you use third party hardware and software and some conflicts are possible. The question is: who can help you with this?
    In general you should talk to your ISP provider at first to see what they will say about all this.
