MacBook Pro retina 15 inch heats up when it is connected to the external monitor

Hello

My problem: When I connect my monitor (LG IPS277L) temperature of my Macbook Pro starts to heat upward. This problem often occurs when I use Facetime.

I found it really strange because I should have a pretty good Macbook Pro for this.

MacBook Pro (15 inch, retina, medio 2015)

Processor: 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7

Memory: 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

Graphics card: Iris Pro 1536 MB Intel / AMD Radeon R9 M370X

El Captain 10.11.6 OSX

I hope that someone recognizes this problem and wants to share their solution.

When you connect to an external monitor, you use the AMD Chip for graphics (without the external screen, most of the software needs only the graphics engine Intel).  It attracts more power and therefore heats up.  All MacBook Pro for this to some extent.  This should be considered normal.  If the computer is actually overheating, it will stop.

  • Yoga 900 - do not wake up to the top of the mode standby mode when it is connected to an external monitor

    Hello world. It's just a message of public service regarding an issue I encountered. I found that my 900 Yoga do not "wake up" after he went to sleep when you are connected to an external monitor.

    I am connected to a HP 27VX monitor by a C of Type USB to HDMI adapter. I found that my Yoga wakes up without problem if the screen is off (power options disable the display settings), but he does not wake up if she gets to sleep when it is connected to the monitor. The question however is not that he don't wake up, the problem is that for some reason when it is connected to the monitor there's going to ever really sleep (slow flashing white light). I think it is the way of somehow when you try to go to sleep. When he enters this mode, the power led is white, and the only solution is power Yoga of the cycle. I don't know why he won't successfully to sleep when it is connected to a monitor, but my guess is a certain type of driver/hardware between the USB type C HDMI adapter and the monitor problem.

    I checked that everything works as designed when I am not connected to the monitor. My solution is to go to power options and turn on my sleep option (when it's plugged in) to "never". Not a solution by any means, just a work around so that all stakeholders (Lenovo, HP) understand how to work with the new port USB Type C. I hope this helps.

    Rob

    Lenovo support makes installation. I don't remember whether or not she has uninstalled the driver first. Sorry:)

  • After updating to the latest El Capitain on MacBook Pro (retina, 15 inch, mid-2015) Safari is slow when I try to search the site.

    Hi all and I hope this finds you healthy and good mood! My problem is after all the updates and I use Safari and Firefox the initial opening of the page of a site is fast! But when I try to access what anyone on this site, Safari would give me a rotation slider and status bar continues to grow. The mac does not freeze to the top and I can leave the site and go to YouTube where did not show this problem. Amazon shows this problem. Amazon appears quickly, but when I try to click on something, I am interested in the rotation slider and bar indicates no progress in bringing This page to display.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you for your time!

    Sincerely,

    MacOwner

    I also have a 15.4 "display mid-2015 rMBP i7 than 2.8 GHz overclocked with 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB PCIe SSD. Recently, I installed all the updates for El Capitan and 0 problems. I wonder if the objects that you are clicking are of base of Java objects? You have the latest updates for Java? If this isn't the case, I strongly encourage it.

    Because you could not rule out the possibility that the browser itself is not a problem by trying the same research on two different browsers, I would think that there may be questions about the Web servers themselves with the links you're clicking on?

    If you can post the link you go, with the object you're clicking on, then I can try try my machine and post back with the results.

    You have AV running on your computer? Personally, I don't feel the need to use AV because it is difficult to get a virus on a Unix operating system and I apply safe navigation practices. But, if you use AV then it is possible that there may be interference.

    Also, try to check the updates again. It is possible to have a corrupt update facility that can detect the operating system. But since this happens both on FF, then, I would conclude that the OS updates were successful.

    No doubt let the spinwheel go and see if Safari or FF crashes. You can post your logs here. My point is that everything is speculation at this point because we have nothing to turn off. Newspapers and error reports would be useful.

    Thank you

  • Satellite M40x-189 heats up when it is connected to the power adapter

    Hey,.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite M40x-189, which is about 18 months old. Recently, I had too replace the battery, but now it seems that my adapter had fried itself. He refuses now too charge my cell phone for more than a few minutes and the part of the adapter that goes into the laptop becomes ridiculously hot even after a few minutes.

    I can't find where too much to buy a new adapter, I get results, but adapters look totally different, can anyone tell me if Toshiba has changed the cards and where too find a power adapter.

    This may help - adapter PA1650 - T 02:100 - 240V AC 50-60 Hz 65W / 3 pins with 19V DC output.

    Also, I find that on the occasions, my laptop just cut. In the middle of everything what I do, and the laptop itself would become so hot, it can't be touched for a few minutes, interestingly, this only happens when the laptop is charging. This problem is not related too my adapter problem, because its been happening for a good month now.

    Thank you, in advance.

    Hello

    I saw your first thread on the power adapter and that other users already suggested the power adaptor can be ordered from the maintainer authorized Toshiba in your country!
    If you n t know how to find the service provider allowed in your country, please take a look on the homepage of European support of Toshiba. You will find a link to the database ASP.

    As you have already said the laptop automatically stops downs have nothing to do with the AC adapter.
    I agree with you for me, it looks like overheating!
    Usually, this happens if fans and cooling modules cannot run with maximum efficiency.
    Dust may prevent the complete rotating fan!

    I recommend to use the vacuum against the bars of cooling hose to clean the fans!
    It should help!
    But please be careful.
