Re: Overheating and lag issues on the Satellite C660/C660D

Hello community of Toshiba

I am a new user of Toshiba, I have a new Toshiba laptop as a model of its Satellite C660 / C660D, I use my new laptop for 6 months and I have some kind of a lot of time on my laptop. Sometimes I keep it open for more than 10 hours.

My problem is like 3-4 months at the bottom right of the screen there is a caution came out as "there's something wrong with your hard drive, you should give it to any service of Toshiba for warranty".
But it happened because I played on users, I mean users option for windows, not something material, changing just the current user name caused this and he now has weird name when I reversed the name change; He turned to something like TOSH ~ 1, etc.

After several times, I mean like 1 month ago, my computer got very slow. Video games with their high resolution, but now the phone LAGS even I put it in low resolution, I played... I did not change any material or touched. But it is frustrating to see that I can't do the things I used to do more.

Another thing is, I'm afraid of the heat from the laptop. Is it normal to have 49-50 degrees? Because when I play games, it is around this level. I live in a hot city.

Some people asked me to use HD Tune to check that if I have a bad sector on the hard drive, I did. Does not work either.
I deleted some of my files to get the free space on my HARD drive also, likely 150 concerts altogether. I even wiped the empty space in my HDD via CCleaner. I often do the basis of registry-fix with it as well. Movies and games flash hangs out as well. And sometimes when I watch videos, the sound cuts, so I have to pause, and then click play it again to fix it but it happens in various video players, not youtube. Very probably all watching anime.

And what do I do? I don't want to go for the service, I'm sure they'll make me wait several weeks of 100%. I use usually my laptop with its adapter. Oh and, over the life of my laptop, 2 - 3 times he got stopped himself while it wasn't on the map whenever I check, he was really but really hot.

So, what should I do? I don't want to open the computer to look inside, I do not understand, and he would risk my 2 year warranty.

I am looking forward for your answers, I'll be very happy. Thank you.

It is not easy to say what the problem is here. In General, you should think about upgrading the RAM to the maximum level. With more RAM laptop should have more power and different operations should be made much more quickly.

To make my laptop better and faster I ve upgraded RAM to the maximum level and also changed SSD HARD drive. So big difference there and phone now works like a rocket. Think about upgrading RAM.
> Another thing is, I'm afraid of the heat from the laptop. Is it normal to have 49-50 degrees?
From my point of view, this temperature is normal and certainly not too high. When you use your laptop, place it on the office and ensure that the cooling fan and cooling rack are free and not blocked.

Don t open your laptop. Anyway, you can't do anything except to void your warranty. RAM upgrade can be done by the owner of the laptop and it will not void your warranty.

    Hello

    > I am disappointed to see the SHIFT key (left) and the CTRL pressed, causing the screen to go black intermittently when you type my blog...

    What does this mean exactly? Press SHIFT and CTRL button turn off the display, and you are not able to see anything on the monitor?
    Is this good?

    Have you checked if this happens with the help of an external USB keyboard too?
    If this isn't the case, I guess that your keyboard is malfunctioning and needs to be replaced.

    One of my friends had a problem with my keyboard. The cursor jumped around and some characters are displayed two times this could be resolved by the BIOS update I m do not know if your laptop uses the latest version of the BIOS, but you can check this too.

  • Is satellite C660/C660D supported 3D videos?

    I would like to know if my Toshiba Satellite C660/C660D supports 3D video. I played one of the sample video on YouTube and use a simple 3D glasses (I received when free went to the cinema watch 3d movie) but that seems to not work, or would it be my laptop which doesn't support 3D.

  • Upgrade of RAM up to 8 GB on the Satellite C660-180

    Hey guys,.

    Thanks a lot for taking a peek at my post.
    I have the Satellite C660-108. I think the upgrade to 3 GB up to 8 GB ram.
    I'll be very grateful if someone could answer my questions before making a purchase.

    It is a model of Ram. I think of buying.

    Kingston HyperX Plug and Play DDR3 1600 MHz CL9 8GB SODIMM Memory Module

    I wonder if it would correspond to my laptop?

    Also, I found this on C660-108

    Type: Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator HD
    amount of memory: 1 273 MB shared memory with 3 GB of installed system memory and up to 1 696 MB with 4 GB of system memory, (with system of 64-bit pre-installed operating)
    memory type: shared.

    If I update up to 8 GB ram it would mean my graphics system memory will be up 3 392 MB as well?

    Thank you very much.

    Kit

    According to the technical page of Toshiba laptop, 8 GB of RAM (2 x 4 GB) are certainly possible.
    Kingston is a good manufacturer of RAM and provide good quality modules.

    The RAM modules should support the following sepcs:
    DDR3 1066 MHz (PC3-8500)

    Processor PENTIUM P6100 (2.00 GHZ) supports a 1,066 MHZ FSB and therefore the PC3-8500 must operate at full speed 1066 MHz

    > f I upgrade ram to 8 GB it would mean my graphics system memory will be up 3 392 MB as well?
    More RAM means more can be shared with the GPU, but this is controlled by the graphics driver automatically.

  • Modeling 3D (Sketch Up) programs keep crashing on the Satellite C660 - 28 d

    Hi guys,.

    Obtained the Satellite C660 - 28 d to Christmas as my old laptop was dying on its feet. So far I've had no problems with it, except for when you use a selection of programs, namely Sketch Up and the rhinoceros are two 3D modeling programs. Strangely enough, AutoCAD Revit works great, I have imagined would have been more demanding on the system.

    When Rhino opening he allows me to choose my model before crashing and displaying a message saying "Rhino 4.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close" and with Sketch Up I get again select a model but then a message saying "Google SketchUp has produced a bug splat and needs to close" followed by a similar error report form that never works when I try and send the error. This is happening on SketchUp 8, after having uninstalled and reinstalled SketchUp 8 and then uninstall and install SketchUp 7, all with the same result.

    It has been suggested to me that there is an error with the graphics card and I have to download a driver, but the only driver on the Toshiba site that would make sense to me is the display driver, I have installed and makes no difference.

    Please help me, I need the use of these types of programs for the University.

    Hello

    It is possible to have these problems because of display driver.
    You should maybe contact the software manufacturer and ask for help. Toshiba doesn't third party software support. Software maker has better experience with own product. I presume that what they have tested on different platforms and need to know what can be the problem.

  • Upgrade of RAM video on Satellite C660/C660D

    HY,

    Kind regards

    I don't know what model you have exactly, but video Ram cannot be upgraded directly. All you can do is upgrade RAM. With more RAM, more memory will be used for graphical operations.
