Qosmio F20 keeps overheating and stops after 4 h

My F20 is 5 months old and keeps the unit from overheating and stopping. It does when it worked for about 4 hours. I use a cooling and support to the recommendation of the support line, I've updated the bios.

They also suggested it works without the battery attached unit, but when I removed the unit from the battery and it ran on the sector it would not pass.

Any suggestions?

Hello

First of all, please check the energy saving settings.
The cooling method must be on "Maximum performance".
Also change the method of control of the CPU on 'Auto '.

In addition, you should check if there is enough room around the laptop.
It is very important because of the airflow.

In addition, you can check the ventilation openings. It is possible that the cooling fans may not work correctly because of the dust and debris inside the ventilation openings.
I read a lot of comments here in the forum and it seems that fans of cleaning might help. You can try to use the vacuum.
But if you do, be careful!

If the laptop overheats after this procedure so I would recommend contacting the Toshiba service partner in your country. Your laptop should be covered by the warranty at the moment.

    Hi there @kathcat,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    The quick answer to your question is clearly yes, because you are experiencing it. However, it should not cause this problem, and it is a symptom of a different problem. So the real question is why it arouses your laptop overheating?

    As any type of electrical connection, it will draw current through your computer, and if your energy consumption is already high for other reasons, this will increase your level of heat.

    I understand this as an info.

    Why computers generate heat

    And this will help to show the things that you can try, to help reduce heat, including cleaning.

    Reduce the heat inside the PC to avoid overheating

    Also, if you post the complete product number, I can look for the correct service guide which should include disassembly instructions, that will certainly help with cleaning as long as you're careful and follow all instructions to avoid accidental damage.  How can I find my model number or product number?

    Let me know if this helped.

    Would appreciate help from the members of the Forum.

    The drive on my Acer Z5610 is overheating and stop unexpectedly. I bought a new 1 TB WD HARD drive. I tried loading the Acer recovery CD 3 I initially created in order to load all applications touch etc, but received a message to say that I got at loading Windows. The computer came pre loaded with Windows 7 Home Premium, so I did not all Windows disks. My question is: How can I transfer Windows 7 on my new HARD drive so I can begin to rebuild the PC?

    Hello

    I think that you have created the driver & application backup, if this is the case & * if the old HDD is still detected & boots you could create a factroy restore discs, if not then you might even get to store.acer.com.

  • Qosmio F20 blue screen of death after stop

    Hello

    I get the blue screen of death after a stop on my laptop Qosmio F20.

    The error is IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.

    I guess that's somehow connected to the tv tuner card.

    I tried to restore the system - not good. After the restoration for some time, it was OK. But then again appeared BSOD.

    Sometimes, it also appears when I connect USB hard drives or even when I insert the DVD disc.
    And for shure every time I stop to laptop.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Hello

    This is my personal opinion;
    I think it's a memory problem!

    Why, because it of very difficult to reproduce this error message and it looks like this BSOD happens without the use of hardware or special software

    I have gogoled for this error message and I had a lot of success!
    I read in various forums on this issue, and especially a fault memory has been one reason why the BSOD appeared.

    But someone suggested to disabled the pagefile... Probably, you should check out these tips:

  • Qosmio G40 - graphics card keeps overheating and crashing all at stake

    My nVidia 8600GT card in my laptop Qosmio G40 overheating guard and crashing when I m gaming.

    It works all the games that I put on it fine, but overheating then crashes and me kicks off the games I play m.
    Is it just because it s a laptop and it s inclined to do?

    I tried to increase the fan speed with riva tuner and precision, but no program allows me to access the utility of fan speed.
    I presume this is because it s a specific card from the laptop... I also can't find the driver for this card from nVidia updates.

    Help, please... James

    Hello!

    Are you using the Toshiba display driver? This is important because the pilot factory don t have protection against overheating and the graphics chip can be damaged.

    In addition, this could also be an overheating problem. If you need to clean your laptop with a jet of compressed air that you can buy at a local computer retailer.

    Last but not least, I would not try to change the speed of the fan or something else. This will be controlled automatically.

    Good bye

    I can't say with certainty, but the player is maybe defective. The position of the objective for playback of DVD and CD is not the same thing and maybe by car has problems to put the lens in the right position.

  • laptop sleeps and stops after 15-20 minutes

    My laptop was overheating and shut down. After the HP service, is not bad overheating, but it still turns off after 15-20 minutes of use. Makes me nuts when you work or games.   What could be?

    If the laptop is overheating and turn off the power, you must ensure a sufficient ventilation.  Make sure that the laptop is not put on something soft like a pillow.  Think of it as raising a little more air circulates beneath her.  Consider making a miniclavier, with active cooling (for example, fans).  Make sure you're laptop or fans are not clogged with dust and work correctly.  Make sure that the heat sinks are free of dust, and the path that air flow is not blocked.  You may need to consult the owner's Manual of your laptop or service for some of these things, because the steps and the level of difficulty varies depending on the laptop in question.

    If you had the laptop serviced by HP, but it does not solve the problem, consider contacting HP again and to let them know that the problem is not solved.

  • Problems with sleep and stopped after upgrade to Windows 10

    Hello

    So I'm going to sleep problems and stop once I have upgraded to Windows 10 laptop won't sleep or stop correctly. The screen turns off, but the power LED remains lit and fan as well. If I chose the sleep he wakes up little matter what I try, and I have to make a hard stop at every time.

    Any solution to this problem?

    Thank you.

    1. Download version 9 or 10 of the Intel Management Engine Interface (MEI) driver.
    2. Download the Package of troubleshooting Windows 10 "show or hide updates" (http://download.microsoft.com/download/F/2/2/F22D5FDB-59CD-4275-8C95-1BE17BF70B21/wushowhide.diagcab).
    3. Change the Windows Update Services automatic (delayed start) parameter to the manual.
      • In Control Panel, select administrative tools, and open Services.
      • Go to Windows Update and double-click it to view its properties.
      • Click on stop to stop the service to run.
      • Change the Startup Type to manual, and then click OK.
    4. Install version 9 or 10 of the Intel Management Engine Interface (MEI) driver.  If you receive a warning dialog box about the replacement of a newer version of the software, accept it.
      • NOTE: You have NO need to uninstall version 11 before installing version 9 or 10.  The presence of a version of the driver is required to 'upgrade' (or demote in this case).
    5. Run the Windows 10 Troubleshooting Package 'Show or hide updates' and hide the updates of the Intel Management Engine Interface (MEI) driver.  (This will block your system automatically reinstall or display of updates for version 11 of the pilot).
    6. Change back the setting of Windows Update Services to manual automatic (delayed start).
    7. Restart your computer.
    8. Rejoice!  You can finally sleep and stop again.
