Overheating on Satellite A50 problem

Hi all

For a long time I've been on the forum, but here I am yelling help me, lol.

In any case, I have a Satellite A50-109 which serves me very well over the past years. It is essentially on 24/7 downloading files and also used to burn them to CD/DVD, most of the time. There was no problem until a few days back when I noticed that it is slowing down strongly. I really think I have a problem of overheating on this one.

Motherboard monitor, notebook hardware control and speedfan all indicate playback of the CPU. Now, my problem is, the fan does not turn on when the CPU temperature is below 65 ° C, and this causes the system really labor and crawl even with the simplest of tasks such as the launch of the windows Explorer. Cold startup the lappy takes only about a minute, but with the work lappy for a few minutes and restart it again will take about 5 minutes or more to be usable in any form.

I ripped off by the lappy bowels yesterday (yes I did, and I know what I was doing, lol) cleaned the fan and replaced everything back because they are but always the same. Previously, when I noticed the slowdown, I figured while I got some malware so I reinstall via the recovery CD, but still on the scanning performance.

Now, my question is: is it possible that I can prod the system to activate the fan all the time? Energy saving is already defined in the aggressive cooling method, but does not help a bit.

Sometimes I think to wresting on the fan again and without going through the voltage of the power supply motherboard fan and give it an external power supply to make it work all the time.

Thanks to all who took the time and interest to read and respond to my problems (if any).

Hello

First I put t understand why put you something about overheating!
Computer laptop doesn't overheat certainly!
I guess that the laptop does not turn off automatically! Am I wrong?
So everything is ok!

I read many threads here in the forum and most people don favor t the rotation of the fan continuously.
Anyway, as far as I know the Toshiba HWSetup utility contains an option called dynamic CPU frequency Mode. You can assign it always high.
In addition, you can change the method of control of the CPU in the watch basic settings ask fixed.

By the way: don't forget that there is enough free space around the laptop to the airflow correctly! It's important!

good luck and have a nice day ;)

    Hello
    When I try to play MURIEL (Medal of Honor: Allied Assualt) on my phone A50 Toshibe I am having some problems.
    My laptop has all the minimum system requirements and I have the whole GALIMA-settings to the lowest. My framerate is still around 20-30 (which is low for games) and it's still when the game starts with the intro to ea logo. When MURIEL reading my % of cpu is 99-100. When I check my use of GPU it uses only 7 MB to 64 MB MAX I have all the latest drivers. It seems that MURIEL does not even recognize my graphics card.
    Please help me.

    Hello

    As Feliks said, the graphic driver has a function of protection due to overheating.
    If the laptop is running with a maximum performance all the parties produce a lot of heat. This can damage the device. In this case, some drivers downgrade the graphics performance.
    It is a simple fact.
    Well, you can try to use the other drivers, but as you know: at your own risk!

    Good luck

  • Satellite A50-522 Powermanagement problem

    Hello

    I am an owner of the Satellite A50 - 522 Centrino. A few days ago I reinstalled my laptop with an original Windows XP Professional, I do not use recovery CD. After that, I reinstalled all the drivers 'tools and Utilities CD-ROM.

    Now, I have a problems with power management. When I put portable mij on MS (= battery) the speed of the CPU must get variable, which is work Centrino. If you do nothing, CPU speed must go down (around 800 Mhz), when you need the speed of the CPU (e.g. photoediting) the speed of the CPU must mount (1.5 ghz). But now, the speed of the CPU is continuous high (1.5 ghz, my battery is now empty without delay. The Toshiba Power Saver has the right setting. A reinstall of the drivers-chipset is not the solution, I tried.

    Yesterday, I reinstalled my laptop once again, but now with the product recovery CD. Power management works very well. But I don't want to use the restore with Windows XP Edition family CD, I want to install my Windows XP Professional original with the right powersettings.

    What is the problem?

    Hello

    You will need to install the Toshiba Power Saver utility. It can be obtained from the following web page:

  • Satellite A50 543: still some problems with USB 2.0

    Hello
    I have laptop Satellite A50 543 with Win2k SP4 installed.
    The problem is that USB 2.0 is not active.

    I found a usb device that luckily automatically installed, so I installed it manually.

    The system is now a usb 2.0 hub - root.
    If I go to properties it shows me that the usb-external hard drive is connected. So far so good...
    (the external hard drive is USB 2.0!)

    now, I copy a file from the internal hard drive to the hard drive external... and there: surprise!
    I have a transfer rate of about 2.5 MB/s
    now I really Don t know what I can do!

    thx for your help and sorry for my bad English! ;-)
    hope you understand me!

    Hello

    Well, as far as I know this device was shipped with a USB 2.0 and it should support a rate of 480 Mbit/s and USB 1.1 data transmission support max 12 Mbps transfer rate.
    Did you mean the transfer rate of 2.5MB/s or 2.5Mbps?

  • Satellite A50 power on problem

    I have a satellite A50 produced in 2004. I was getting messages flashing up on top of the problems of critical battery despite being connected. Finally the computer lost all power. Now it is quite dead, and I can't make it work on the power supply. I removed the battery and plugged, but still have no power. There is no light on any name that is not in hibernation. It seems that some internal fuse needs to be replaced, or something that prevented completely from the power of work. I have changed the fuse in the plug and tried the power outlets alternative. Any ideas?

    Hello

    Maybe there is a problem with the electronic power supply.
    In this case, the motherboard should be replaced.
    But you should ask Toshiba service to find the fault.

    We have not had any problems, but we did a complete new installation of XP Prof. It was after a large number of question marks in the device, but with the Update Manager the drivers of toshiba homepage, it works very well!

    Could you also do a complete new installation of XP teacher because it is important to install the drivers and QFE patches... in the right order! With an upgrade to XP Prof this order could be choppy confused!

    You can find this order installation on the CD tools & utilities. When the CD starts a html site opens and shows you all of the necessary drivers in order!

    Please check in Device Manager if there is some hardware problems with your DVD/CD drive. You have a DVD Super Multi drive and it is possible to burn them all.

    Have you installed a software burn? Have you tried to format the DVD - RW, DVD + RW and DVD - RAM?

  • Satellite A50 - BSOD - IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL

    Hello

    I haven't used my Satellite A50 for months and when I just came today.
    He asked me about my Bios setting. So I put the settings to the default values.

    However, when I just load windows I got the blue screen error, IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL 0x0000000A.
    I remembered then the engineerer has changed my Bios setting the last time so that it worked - I changed my HARD drive in a 60 GB hitachi 7200rmp HDD, so they changed the default settings.

    Does anyone know what part of the bios setting I need to change? The version of the bios is 1.40.

    Thank you very much.

    PS. I got same saving mode, but that didn't work either...

    Hello

    Is there a particular setting no HDD in the BIOS!
    The laptop supports the IDE HDD controller and you can not change anything in the BIOS!

    That is why I don't think the BSOD is linked to all the parameters of the BIOS HARD drive
    In my opinion, it could be a RAM problem

    Try to remove a RAM and start the laptop using that one module inside the laptop s RAM slot.
