• My Satellite A100 GPU fan works 100% all the time

  First: I have the Satellite A100-440 with GeForce Go 7300 and XP Professional (and Ubuntu).

  There is something wrong with thermal control. The first PC Wizard has always shown that the temperature of my GPU is "a very large number" and the fan is runnign 100% all the time (the main problem). Then I installed ATItool hoping he would show the temperature correctly. Well, it worked in part. Now when I check the temperature with PC Wizard, it indicates the temperature of the GPU normally (like 30-40 degrees celsius), but it also shows the GPU Diode temperature it's "a very large number" (as 4.294967E + 09 C) and the fan will operate at 100%.

  I tried to control fans with RivaTuner, but nothing happens.

  So if anyone has an idea how I could continue to solve the problem, I would be very grateful. I don't know if the problem is with the hardware (I could take this service) or with the software...

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Why are you talking about 'problem' and 'solve this problem?
  I see no problem!
  First of all I'm not all 3rd party applications that monitor temperatures. I'm not 100% sure if these applications provide a good values.

  However, as far as I know the laptop was shipped with Vista and not XP and Linux. You do not use a factory settings. It seems that you have set up the laptop with new applications and you should know that all the software installed and running insists on the CPU and other parts.

  BIOS fan table supports different temperature and cooling of the speed measurements. This means that if the temperature rises to a higher level, the cooling module starts and tries to decreases the internal temperature.

  Usually the temperature depends on the use of the laptop. If several processes of the OS are running in the background, that the CPU performance are high, the temperature rises and the fans start to run. There is nothing unusual about it.

  Furthermore, the dust and debris inside the laptop might have a bad influence on the laptop cooling. From time to time, it is advisable to clean the cooling modules.

  Last but not least the laptop must be placed free on table to ensure the circulation of air correctly. Don't forget that there is enough free space around the laptop.

  Finally, I must say that one of my friends has an A100 and the fans run correctly.
  This means that the cooling modules works with maximum performance while playing games or using graphics software.
  However fans do not work with maximum performance using only common programs like IE software or office.

  Good bye

• GeForce 7350LE graphics card fan is running all the time or at certain temperatures?

  I have a HP Pavilion m8147c Media Center with AMD Atlon 64 X 2 Dual Core processor 5600 + 2.80 GHz 3 GB of Ram and run these last time the parser when began to enter the mode "sleep" or something. Sometimes, there is a warning that says something like no signal DVI and one more, but still not long enough to read all this. I am running Vista Home Premium 32 bit. I had just installed a new game but enough course has nothing to do with that I used the system restore and backed up to a time before it was installed. At the beginning it was only when you play, but now, it happens with almost nothing running. This pc was purchased in July 2007 and I have another office but I let my wife use one and I use the other. I opened the folder and clean all the dust but noticed when I booted again that the fan does not work on the video card. I don't know if it lights at certain times or works all the time but I think that's the problem. He was about one hour and lights do not at all. Any information will be appreciated.

  captna wrote: thanks again for the help, I thought it was probably the case but never bothered with graphics cards before today. Any thoughts on an upgrade for not much more money? It was a pretty good pc when I bought it, but it is old, and there should be some video cards better for the same price that would work. I'll add some memory and while I am because the grandchildren need to play their games too. Do you know where to find an upgrade that would be compatible? Yet once again, I appreciate the help.

  Hello captna, here is a link for the specifications of your system. It shows that the system was delivered with a 300 Watt power supply.

  There is not much better performing video cards that work with a 300 Watt power supply. Most require at least a 400 Watt power supply or greater power.

  You could improve the feed and the video card, then possibly 4 new memory modules, but the cost would start to add up. On a system to make a few years about it, I don't know if this would be the way to go, or consider getting a new system.

  You could simply acquire a new video of the same type card and get the system back, because there was, or even try and find a graphics card fan to replace the failed fan. It would be the least expensive option.

  Your system was shipped with the memory 3 X 1 GB modules. It only supports 4 X 1 memory modules, so upgrading the memory would not help all that much. You'd probably remove the existing memory and install 4 new memory modules in order to be compatible with your system memory. It is not recommended to mix memory strips.

  Just some thoughts.

• My fan is running all the time...

  I have a Dell XPS 15.6 Windows 7 64 bit. It is about 3 weeks old. My laptop was on my firm stand and the fan came. When I opened it, it stays on. Also when I went to type there is a tone that did not previously exist. The fan stays on while it is open, but stop sometimes to when I close. Please any help, I'd be happy.

  Hello

  Only way to really know if there is a problem is to check with a real computer (not the leeks and pics store
  at a Best Buy or other department stores) or Support of Dell. Also ask in the Dell forums where others have
  the same system for known issues.

  Make sure that the vents are clear, so there is plenty of air circulation. Try using a small fan blowing through the vents
  to see if the heat is excessive. Often, a cooling pad can help.

• Satellite U500-PSU9BE - fans to run all the time

  I bought a U500 - PSU9BE 10 days ago, comes with Windows 7 Home Premium.

  10 days everything was fine.
  Without changing any settings, today the fan has full throttle, as usual he is sitting on my desk with plenty of ventilation around it...
  After awhile, I opened the tool PC to see health + 90% of the activity of the fan and only 27% of the CPU temperature.
  It off for 2 hours. Is returned and turned on. He took over fan full speed immediately at startup.
  It feels like a thermal conductor who does not switch the fan to the bottom switch.

  Looked at Intel Graphics and Media Control Panel settings - all together on the optimization of the battery.
  The Eco mode is activated.

  What the hell happens on this machine? Al support will be more than welcome!

  Hi mate

  Have you checked the parameters of module cooling in power management Windows 7-> Toshiba power saver.

  Here, you can change the method of CPU cooling for maximum performance CPU, or better battery life with reduced CPU performance. 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.

  Check this box:

  It looks like s for Vista and Win 7 power management

• Tecra A11 speed on the fan at 100% all the time

  Hi, one of my colleagues has a new notebook Tecra A11. I've recently updated the bios to version 2.60 and since then the fan is constantly at full speed. Before the update it would be noticeable when the laptop has been widely used, but would slow down when idle. Anyone else seen/had this problem? I wouldn't mind flashing back to the old bios but can not see available on the web site of tosh.

  Thank you

  Hello

  In your case, I recommend setting the BIOS to the default value.
  You can do it in the BIOS. Insofar as I'm sure you could get press F9 default.
  But the option is mentioned in BIOS to verify this.

  In addition, I recommend changing the CPU and cooling module in Windows Power Options.

  This should help to reduce the speed of the cooling fan.

• After a virus infection, the App Data/Roaming/swcltb.dll is missing from my computer and the fan use 100% all the time

  Here's the problem:

  My computer was happening slowly, so I did a virus scan and it turned out that my firewall has been closed and wouldn't load up. So it took me some time to solve the problem by following these steps: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-security/windows-firewall-cant-change-some-of-your-settings/2679690e-c375-4232-ae45-404374386635?page=6 naernxp post, it solved the problem.
  Naernxp suggested from virus scan so I Redid the scan for malware and all then it deleted the file swcltb.dll. I thought it was the virus so I ignored it, but after restart pc my firewall has been set, but the computer showed that the swcltb.dll file is missing and CPU usage was 100% nonstop.
  Before that virus scanning, my CPU usage was normal.
  RAM: 2 GB
  Processor: Intel (R) Core (TM) 2 CPU 6420 @ 2.13 GHz

  This file is not a base file MS Win, I suspect it is a residue of the infection

• Satellite Pro P200-15W: update according to BIOS 1.9 fans walk all the time

  I have a Satellite Pro P200-15W. After recently running the BIOS update to version 1.9, the fans started running all the time and are extremely loud. Also, he did weird things for Firefox, Thunderbird and NAV.

  I would like to "Uninstall" the update of the BIOS if possible. I found [this link: http://askiris.toshiba.com/ToshibaSupportSite/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=1080 89xml & sliceId = & dialogid = 24408215 & stateId = 0% 200% 202 4406262] who treats the restore running CD.

  If I run this CD, which will certainly restore the BIOS to the previous version?

  Is there a less destructive way (ie: that does not erase the hard drive)?

  Thank you

  Hello

  It seems that the picture of the fan was changed and renewed in the new version of BIOS, and so fans run fall.
  Why the table fan has been changed?

  Well, usually something like this is necessary to improve the reduction of the internal temperature while the CPU and GPU are running with maximum performance.
  This helps to prevent the equipment from damage!

  > would like to "Uninstall" the update of the BIOS if possible. I found this link that explains the running restore CD. If I run this CD, which will certainly restore the BIOS to the previous version?

  Usually, the recovery CD formats the whole HARD drive (partitions too) and installs only the image of Toshiba on the notebooks of HARD drive. The image contains the OS, drivers and additional software and has nothing to do with the BIOS update.
  But you can try to recover the laptop to see if you can solve the problems of software!

  If you want to reverse the BIOS, you will need to contact the ASP in your country!

  Sorry, but all I can suggest.

• Upgrade to Win 8.1 the fan runs all the time and Raw (Silkypix) converter consume 100% CPU resources

  Hi, after upgrading to win 8 to 8.1 win my converter (Silkypix) raw program running extremely slow and consuming 100% of CPU. VAIO all updates completed, all Win 8.1 updates made. ATM Radeon HD 7500 M / 7600M (Maj) with 2 GB RAM dedicated.

  In addition, the fan works almost all the time that was not the case with Win 8.

  Vaio SVE1712Z1EB with 8 GB of RAM, i7 processor execution.

  SeanQ, after some time looking for a solution I finally found it on one of the vaio sites forum: it is the Radeon driver that must be installed from the Vaio support site. NOT the driver the latest AMD site. It does not solve the problem.

  I did as follows: device, graphics card, Uninstall Manager. Did not help. Went to AMD in Program files. Setup.exe has begun, but instead of installation, clicked on uninstall. In this way, I uninstalled the driver former AMD and bad news from the site of AMD. I had to manually uninstall the driver in Device Manager, several times. Finally, I went to the site of Vaio and tried updating the driver. He failed. Reset. Manually start the update of the Vaio AMD driver. Finally it worked.

  The fan is now more or less normal speed.

  Overall, I spent 15 hours looking for this solution. How much is my time worth? Just joking, I'm happy that I found the solution.

• 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?

  Hello gorgonzola1111,

  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?

• Satellite Pro A120 - fan run all the time

  OK, so this is a strange...

  I have a satellite Pro A120. It works with the fan on all the time and sometimes goes on a mayor go slowly (which I think can be reduced to overheating).

  Operating system is Ubuntu and I installed the tool of sensors that tell me about the minute the temperature is 100 degrees c and the next one is 16!

  I suspect that it is perhaps that the heat sink is full of fluff, but I can't find a guide step by step to dismantle the machine, clean it and put it back together again.

  Can anyone help with ideas or resources?

  Thank you very much

  Nathan

  Hello

  You do not need to disassemble the unit to clean the fans.
  You can use a jet of compressed air which helps to remove dust.
  I did it several times and it helped!

  Try it!

• Satellite R630 - fan runs all the time

  Hello everyone,

  I have a Satellite R630, and I'm happy with it. But there is one thing that makes me angry... the fan! It runs ALL the time. I browse a little... the fan works. I work with the office, or something... the fan works. To clarify: the CPU is not used, there is no heavy processes running, and the Notebook\CPU is cool. There is no reason why the fan should work, all the laptops that I had before where calm in the same situations. Of course it is not a problem if it starts working if necessary (a game, looking for a HD video or something). But not without reason!

  Someone at - it a solution for this problem? A tool to fix the fan speed\intervals manually, or better: an update of the bios (in the version 1.4 and 1.5 I can choose what I want... the fan did not stop execution). It is also quiet in Linux or any other operating system.

  @Toshiba: (!) Please do something. The only solution for me right now is to return the laptop to the store. :-(

  Best regards

  Hello

  Hmm... If you have already installed the latest BIOS updates, you should check the cooling of Windows Power management settings. Generally you can switch between different methods of cooling as you can read here:

• Qosmio F60 all the time in the 80-90% fan

  Hello, my fan seems to be all the time and it's always 80-90%.
  I am just a spyware scan and my open IE... CPU is 70%...
  What is the problem with this laptop?

  > What is the problem with this laptop?

  Who knows? Is the higher temperature than usual?
  High temperature would lead to a faster rotation of the cooling fans
  Have you tried to clean the vents?
  If the vents are blocked, so air can circulate as usual, and this could cause this problem.

• Satellite U500-10F - Dungeon fan turning ON and OFF all the time

  Hello world

  Just bought my u500-10F and installed Windows 7 Enterprise on this.

  Having a very weird problem, the fan keep turn on/off all the time every 10 seconds or more, even without any CPU load. Any ideas? Is there a fan control software?

  Rgds,
  Arley

  As you know that Win7 is not released and without support, there is therefore no Toshiba Software for any type of power control and the fan at the moment.

  Have you noticed the same behavior of fan preinstalled Vista operating system?
