Portege M400 - always 100% fan running

• DELL PowerEdge R730 (Gen 13) always 100% fan (16000 RPM +)

  Hello

  I have a brand new R730 DELL.  Since the time I first started the box, the beginning of fans out to what I consider normal speed, halfway through start, then for as long as the box is enabled, the fans are strong and spinning to their maximum rate 100% or about 16000 RPM.  There are 6 fans in this area.

  I have updated the BIOS to the latest firmware 2.2.25, I also updated the firmware from LifeCycleController to the last 2.40.40.40.

  Dell technician has been there twice to replace 1) all motherboard (motherboard) and the other 2) maps PCI riser (who had the button intrusion).

  The server fans still spin 100%.

  I did:

  -the flea power drain

  -the IPMI command to turn off cooling for PCIe

  -remove all memory but 1 chip in A1 and deleted 8 SSDS.

  Turning always to 100%.

  When you look at the installation of the fan to the iDRAC, I can't even set a custom value because the beach is stuck at 100-100%.

  There is no additional PCI or PCIe cards installed.

  Does anyone have an idea what is happening here.  It does not seem right that this fan run at 100% all the time.

  Looking at the configuration of the system, the server was shipped with 2 processors Intel Xeon E5-2689 V4. These processors have additional thermal requirements and so RPM fans' will operate 100% as a trade off. Based on this information, the fans run according to the needs.

• Portege M400: questions about fan and screen buttons

  Hello

  I just received a M400 and experience a great tablet, but I have two problems.

  Fan seems to be always, no matter how hot the cpu or the performance.

  buttons on the screen, specially the control stick, do not work after some time of use, a reboot usually solves it.

  I tried to reinstall the drivers as suggested on other forums, without success. It looks like a driver problem.

  Any ideas?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Hello guys. Fans are running because of the temperature inside the laptop.
  @Nicknick1: you are using the joystick. In this case, I guess you play. All series device with a maximum performance during the game. It s wasn't that asking the fans to run all the time.

  However: I put t know how much standby power version you have, but you will find on the page of the Toshiba driver the V7.08.00 changed to 17/03/06

• Portege M400 fan noise

  I have a new Portege M400. The fan runs constantly even when the computer is started cold. The CPU is definitley do not run pretty hot the fan if necessary. None of the settings in the TOSHIBA Power Saver cause the fan turn off, even the setting of life. Is this a BIOS problem? Or a hardware failure? Or what?

  Hello

  Have you used the image of Toshiba?
  I found information that on some units of the BIOS update has the features of Toshiba Power Saver. What you can do is to check the version of the BIOS installed on the unit and compare it with the version on the Toshiba page.

  However, I would also recommend reinstall the energy saver. Check if the new version is available. You can also try to clean the fans. For the most part this process helps.

• CPU usage always 100% after installing Vista SP2

  Hello

  I am currently running A Dell Dimension B110 with 1 GB RAM 256 mb nvidia geforce 6200 (pci), 2.6 ghz celron D and Windows Vista Home Basic SP1.  It works nice and fast.

  That is until I have install SP2.  Then the CPU usage is always 100% when running anything (with the exception of the Windows Explorer), and the pc is running very slowly.  To solve the problem, I went back down to SP1 and everything goes quickly again.

  A few weeks later, I tried again and the same result.  So I returned again back to SP1.

  For future software versions, I need SP2.  Does anyone have advice and/or corrections to this problem?

  Thanks in advance

• Portege S100 - fan runs constantly

  Hello

  I have been using my portege s100 for a year now and I must say that I'm not really happy.

  The fan runs constantly, even after the update of the BIOS. Does not stop a second, everything I put in power management. It's very disappointing, because when I watch a DVD, or when I work nights, I would like to quiet little.

  I checked the forums on the web, and Toshiba without finding any solution. Is anyone aware of any way to stop the standing fan (other then remove the fan...)?

  Thanks in advance,
  Andres

  Hello Andres

  As you know, the cooling equipment is common problem on laptop computers and the market there is not many laptops that work absolutely silent. I put t even think such laptop no exist at all. Performance of your hardware is always better. Have excellent graphics and CPU performance, resulting in a lot of heat inside the laptop.

  When you are working in the zone of silence, it's quite annoying when the fun of constantly cooling fan but there is not much to do. If you simply work like writing or to check something on the net, I recommend to use the other profile in energy saving or you can manually set the speed of the CPU processing to lower the level. I also recommend you to stop all unnecessary processes.

• Cooling fan runs constantly on my Portege S

  I just bought a laptop Portege S and fun kept to never stop and it bothers me. I tried to reduce the power through the Manager of power, but to no avail.

  All solutions? Thank you!

  Hello

  The fan runs constantly if you get into the BIOS?
  If Yes, then maybe it can be defective.
  In such cases, you should ask the guy to service for assistance.

• BIOS update solved the Portege M400 fan noise

  The new version of BIOS (1.8) for Portege M400 solves the problem of fan noise. The Readme.txt explains that the temperature will rise only in three degrees. Very important, very recommended patch for users of M400.

  Now I can use my tablet in my business meetings without having to give explanations to customers of the fan noise.

  Greetings.

  Hello Jose

  It is very nice to hear that you are happy now. I read your previous assignments and I can understand you this annoying issue with cooling fan, but now you can see this laptop manufacturer is trying to make the product better, even if the product is on the market.

  I am also certain that customer s comments can help identify the problem if persist und after this systematic search for the solution or change for the better.

• Portege M400 is frozen, screen goes black and the fan speed increases when moved

  Can someone help me please?

  I recently received the Portege M400 from a friend 4 days ago and reformatted for Windows XP Tablet Edition.
  Everything's fine until I wanted to move the laptop to my coffee table, but as soon as I move the laptop it freezes, the screen goes black and the fan speed increases dramatically.
  So far I have had no success in the resolution of this problem and I really appreciated, is that someone could help me!

  Have you installed the OS using a Toshiba recovery media or you have installed the version of the OS?

• G560 - the fan runs at 100% at startup (Type B users)

  I started this thread so for those who have problems 'Type b' (G560 fan runs at 100% at the start) could discuss it here.

  Note that engineering is currently studying this issue.

  Those who are not sure they are "Type A" or "Type B" Please refer here.

• Portege Z930 - fan runs constantly

  I installed W10 on my Z-930 protégé and it worked perfectly. During December Windows Update automatically installed a major update for the W10 and now the fan runs constantly, even when the laptop starts up and CPU is very cold.
  Can someone help me?
  Thank you

  Install and run Toshiba Service Station, all public services update.
  Also update the BIOS.

• Portege R830-very loud fan that runs until the machine hangs.

  My 3 month old R830 fan runs often and hard... and on a daily basis will remain running loudly until finally the machine hangs. .. What is very, very frustrating.

  Someone told me he had something to with the security of fingerprint software... go figure!... but anyway I'm eager to find someone who has a solution.

  As it is I think the machine is way over rated, because it is only an improvement of the SSD on the orginal R600, which, when it came out was the best in its class. A portable "high-end" disappointing from my point of view... and the so-called 'new' Z series looks a lot like the R600 with a SAME size SSD... so as it seems that I am stuck with this one, I'll try to find a fix for a very annoying problem.

  Hi mate

  Please check the settings in the Windows 7 power management!
  There you can optimize the CPU and cooling performance module this should help reduce heat dissipation and fan speed
  .
  In addition I recommend upgrading the Toshiba Fingerprint Software immediately to the version V1.0.2.32 or higher. In addition, turn off the power save option of fingerprint device in Device Manager.
  Device Manager->-> authentic Tec Inc AES1610-> the power management of biometric devices

  Here, you will have to remove the mark next to the option called allow the computer to turn off this device to save power. Disable the power saving mode will reduce the life of the battery, so you can check whether or not it helps reduce noise.

• Portege M400: Black screen from time to time

  Hello!

  I have a little problem with my Portege M400 Tablet PC. The laptop runs great most of the time. Unfortunately, from time to time, the screen goes all black - or to be more precise, the screen shows up again. In most cases, the display has been disabled by my energy saving profile, and when I try to put the screen back on (for example by moving the slider or press any key, just like usual), the screen remains black. I see that the computer works and I can for example hibernate the computer, but even after waking up, the screen is always black. Also, it does not help to change the power profile or output or anything - the screen remains like that until I restart the computer.

  I have the new bios 1.80 (because of the better fan control) and I updated the Intel chipset drivers already (I've had the problem before, so it is not the update of drivers). Any idea that he might be, perhaps the bios (it was the first thing I installed after the purchase of the laptop I knew before the fan will be strong otherwise).

  Hello Alex

  I found interesting article from Microsoft about this problem. Please check under http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917332/en-us

  Of course, you must install Windows XP KB917332 on your device. This should help.

  Good luck!

• Portege M400 crashes due to overheating

  I have exactly the same problem with a Portege M400.

  After an hour or 2 the fan becomes extremely noisy and the PC freezes. The computer base would become too hot to the touch, and in fact stickers youcef/Microsoft and barcode based turned Brown due to heat.

  The only way to solve the problem seems to be to shut down the PC so 15-minutes and restart.
  When this happens, I usually only outlook running, Norton and a browser!

  This hs happening for about 6 months. I cleaned the fan but this made no difference - anyone know a fix?

  Hello

  If you have cleaned the cooling modules and if this t n helps, then you should get in touch with technicians from the ASP.
  Maybe the laptop it apart and must be cleaned inside.
  It is a very delicate procedure. Moreover, the thermal grease that I placed between the CPU and cooling modules should be renewed.
  After a long period of use, thermal grease becomes dry and is unable to channel the heat created by CPU.

  Last but not lease you must always use your laptop on a table. Use it in bed or lying on his knees. In this case the fan would not get enough air and this leads to a higher temperature.

• Portege M400 and 3.60 BIOS

  Ubuntu Linux running on the M400 and it seems that almost all BIOS version 3.60 prerequisite are broken because there are errors of the quirk on the CPU APIC. Perhaps Microsoft could circumvent the APIC tables broken for awhile but things with Linux is a bit bulky. Microsoft asked to Toshiba for a BIOS update to address these issues and it seems to be fixed from 3.50.

  See here

  Even under Linux not more APIC errors appear. :-) But after the update from 3.60 BIOS splash screen remains active and keeps me to select an option for a boot (grub) multi entry. If the OS is already from the start screen become white first, then gives finally control the operating system. Others see this as well?

  I am able to select something in my Start menu, but it is more guess the start screen is always at the top. Very annoying it :-(

  Another issue I have is that sometimes the system freezes for a few seconds and then continues, nothing to see in the logs when you use a Tablet Ubuntu or Windows XP Home edition. So might be a bug in the BIOS once more. Yet once you are looking for confirmation, other know about this as well.

  Reflash 3.60 a couple of times, but seeing this behavior over and over again.

  Although it seems to be some control fan in 3.60. He does not like a DC9 aircraft, but were still not silent like the 1.80W or the 2.10N of BIOS versions. Nice to see these fan noise changes incorporated in 3.60 and later

  Hi Robert

  I know you hate me, but the fact is that Portege M400 has sticker next to the keyboard and it says something like designed for Microsoft. With short words: Linux OS is not supported.

  If you need help with Linux on Toshiba laptops please check http://newsletter.toshiba-tro.de/main/index.html

  Question about freezing is very strange and if you want to check properly install recovery without additional software image. In this case you will have factory settings and clean the preinstalled operating system. If you notice some outstanding questions, you must contact authorized service partner and clarify this point.

  Good luck!
