Re: Question on Satellite A200-1SX fan

Hey everybody.
I recently bought a Satellite A200-1SX and I noticed that the fan is running constantly for about 5 seconds then turns off.
Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening? Is this normal? Is there a software that can help me?

Thanks to a bouquet.

Hi mate,

already tried a BIOS update? It would probably help, but I can't promise you...
To download the latest version of the BIOS on the Toshiba site just go here-> http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/jsp/home.do?service=EU&from=http%3A//www.toshiba-europe.com/

and join the drivers download section is you just have to go to "Support and downloads"-> 'Support Home Page'-> ' download - download drivers ' and choose your machine and the desired driver/tool. (In your case the BIOS updated)

Another option would be to modify the powersaver, so that the won´t FAN turn all the time. You can keep your machine much quieter by choosing parameters of performance lower (I think that the low performance shouldn´t be recognizable during 'normal' work) which translates (or should) in less than rotation of the FAN.

Just check it out by clicking on 'Toshiba Powersaver' in the 'Control Panel'.

  • Satellite A200 PSAECE - fan of Windows 7 (& BIOS)

    Dear community,

    I installed the latest version of BIOS Toshiba offers for Windows Vista (v.1.80 21/08/07) and I'm running on Windows 7 on a Satellite A200 PSAECE.

    The fan is very VERY strong. I've heard talk of a solution would be to return to a previous version of the BIOS but I can't find it anywhere.

    No indication of how to proceed? Something must be done about it, cannot even bring the laptop to the cause of the library of people complain. (The fan was MUCH less noisy before...)

    Thank you!

    G.

    Hello

    Go to the Windows 7 power management and change the settings of the most friendly battery.
    There should also be an option that decrease the performance of the processor, and this could slow down the cooling performance.

    Satellite A200 (PSAE3E)

    Hello

    First of all, it would be interesting to know if you have already tried to reinstall the operating system on this laptop.
    I want to say that these two issues could be related to software problems

    The windows OS should receive and install Microsoft update without worries, and if this is not possible a software problem is possible.

    I put t know if some important system files are confusing upward or if a register issues causes bother but I m sure that Vista should receive patches and updates correctly after reinstalling again.

    Therefore, it would be desirable to test this! Before you start the recovery procedure to backup your important data!

    Good luck

  • Question about Satellite A200 - 13L

    Hallo,

    I would like to buy a Toshiba laptop. The Satellite A200 - 13L series isn't already available. So a store told me that there are products of follower: Toshiba Satellite Pro A200 with 2 x 2.2 GHz!

    But the new collection hasn t the best system the older one, and a black keyboard.

    The specification of it is very good, but I need the old box with a white keyboard and a system of his best.

    Hello

    Sorry, but it is not easy to say what you need to do. You have your opinion and your own priorities. Inform you about all the models available and make a decision. Don't buy something if you're not 100% sure that you want it to be.

    For me design is very important, but the hardware is much more important to me. Make sure that the laptop has graphics card good, enough RAM and all that you have to work for every day (WLAN, BT, perhaps of the webcam and so on).

  • Satellite A200 - noisy fan and crashing Windows

    Hello

    I have Toshiba A200-28 s, bought in the summer 2008 the Russia.
    Before, I had a noisy fan, but as I read on the internet, it is common in Toshiba laptops.
    But anyway, I tried to Flash the BIOS (update), also for performance and other reasons. 1 week ago
    I downloaded the file to update the bios of Toshiba web site drivers. Update went well. Although I realized this fan noise has not changed. So far the fan was ok and I didn't experience any overheating.
    Also, I tried to clean the ventilation with vacuum.

    Today, when I switched on my laptop, windows started normally and after a while when I started my browser and check e-mails, fan started making really loud and strange noise, like a small hairdryer. And then windows froze. I turned it off directly (pressing and holding the power button / stop). I started again, this time I opened the program to the speed of the fan to check the temperature.

    After a while, windows froze and fan started making the same sound. Last I read was 49 C. And before that all happened, I checked the core temperature from time to time, and they were 60 C maximum, average 50-52 c.

    Then I started Windows in safe mode. After about 15 minutes, it's the same fan.

    Now, I started windows again in safe mode. And the fan noise seems normal. Temperature is 61. I use only the browser. I hope I'll be able to post this thread.

    I put t think it's because of the dust. Usually, I check how hot my laptop is, and is usually warm, not hot.

    I have the warranty, but I don t want to consider serving because I need it for my thesis. I think that in the service it will take at least 2-3 weeks for them to fix it.

    Please help me. Thank you for your time.

    Seymur

    Hello!

    First of all, what OS do you have?

    In my opinion, the temperatures are normally and don t forget that the fan must sometimes run to cool the CPU. Otherwise, it can be damaged.

    If you have Windows XP, you must install the Toshiba Power Saver. With this tool, you can change the speed of the CPU and cooling method
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    In the worst case you have to send it for repair to an authorized service provider, but don t be worry. I have good experience with this because the technicians are very useful and they will be committed to repair your laptop as soon as possible.
    My experience is that it takes only 1.5-2 weeks.

  • Question about Satellite L850 cooling fan - 11 d

    Hello

    There is a big problem with my CPU fan speed. He continues to run 20-30% (approximately 950 RPM) while the CPU/GPU temperature is high. I have cleaned the air fan, replaced the thermal grease. I changed all the settings to high performance and CPU Active, cooling system.

    Sometimes the fan speed increases to 60% for a few seconds, but then immediately goes back down to 20%. I bought this phone 6 months ago and it worked very well, with high-speed fan (90% + during the games).

    Now when I play some games it just shuts down after a few minutes.
    If anyone knows how I can fix this problem, please help.

    (I can do SS of the speed of fan/temperature sensor if necessary)
    (Sorry for my English)

    Please don t get me wrong, but in my opinion, it was a big mistake to open computer laptop and do all those things in the hope that something will be better. Now you have canceled the warranty. Too bad.

    In any case, you maybe update the BIOS or installed the non-Toshiba display driver in the past?

  • Satellite A200-1N9 fan begins to run faster and become strong

    Hello

    So, I have a strange problem. When my fan starts to run faster it bocome so loud, I can't work.
    What is more strange when he has bocome hard I can't start new programs and programs already running freezes.

    What kind of sorcery is this?

    Sincerely
    By Aspera

    null

    Hello

    This occurs because a process running in the background constraints the CPU at 100% and this creates more heat dissipation and the fan on and short shot more quickly to cool the CPU. In addition, the CPU is locked and therefore the system hangs for a while.

    You should check what method or tool stresses the CPU.
    You can start the task (CTRL + ALT + DELETE) Manager and check the processes tab.
    Here you can see in the CPU column which processes are using most of the CPU performance.

  • Update BIOS question on Satellite A200-25 b

    * Hello! *

    I have a dual boot with windows xp/ubuntu. I want my my BIOS for more functions but can I replace the v1.7 for the v5.6? I read: «Ce Bios is only compatible for laptop computers equipped with Windows XP» -->

    5.6 BIOS and my computer

    I don't want to crash my computer.

    Sorry if my English is not perfect... I'm French.

    Hello

    I suggest that you follow the updates to the BIOS in Windows XP Home edition. The reason v5.x upgrades are available (and say that the BIOS is only compatible with laptop computers equipped with Windows XP) because they are updated BIOS to allow installation of Windows Vista.

    If you do not want to upgrade to Windows Vista, stay with the WXP BIOS in the range v1.x - v2.x (also check whether or not the BIOS is specifically for Windows XP).

    I hope this helps.

  • Satellite A200 wont work CD

    I use an A200 since 2007. Perfectly, it manages all types of DVD but recognises all types of CD blank.
    I am unable to write the CD as well.

    The writing process ends smoothly and the CD is ejected then. But when I insert the CD into any computer it is empty.

    > The writing process ends smoothly and the CD is ejected then. But when I insert the CD into any computer it is empty.
    If I understand your question, the Satellite A200 recognizes all disc correctly and can burn the CD as well but the OTHER computer recognize the CD in a vacuum.
    Is this good?

    Well, I advise to use another brand of CD discs!

  • Satellite A200 - 14 d (PSAECE): how fast is the base & graphics card memory

    Hello, I would like to ask a question about Satellite A200 - 14 d (PSAECE - 3 004006G).

    In the specification, it says there r:
    Type: NVIDIA Geforcea? ¢ Go 7300 with TurboCache technology
    memory: 256 MB of VRAM dedicated (up to 527 MB of total available graphics memory using Turbocachea? ¢ technology with 2 GB of system memory)
    memory type: DDR video RAM (resp. video RAM DDR and DDR system memory combined)

    I would like to ask what is the basic and the memory of this video card speed and is not a bad thing that there only DDR ram?

    There is also another laptop, with VIDIAA® Geforcea® 7300 Go with 256 MB of Turbocachea? ¢ technology (64 MB of VRAM) dedicated GDDR2 and 192 MB shared system memoirs.

    WHAT IS THE BEST? or do I have to look any further for a better?
    I would like to buy a laptop and you would help me a lot to choose from. Thank you.

    Hello

    I would say that the first one is the best, you have more available videoram and it could be extended much more then the other.
    But if you can accept such machine, then wait a little, because the new generation of portable computers equipped with the platform "santa rosa" are coming,
    who have a better and better chipset integrated graphics cards.

    I can give you a good indication for the moment, but you can perform a search in google for "santa rosa toshiba", so you will probably find something.

    I have a cooler base for her but doesn´t work like I want.
    My question is if there is a program or a utility to control the fan speed. I I Don t want to set the lower clock speed, because I use it for HD games, just set up the fan.
    SpeedFan doesn´t recognize my CPU fan.

    Thank you!

    Have you checked for dust in the radiator?

    With the laptop off, use compressed air to blow the dust out of the heat sink. Spray the air into the unit where the Air goes out usually.

    If there is excessive dust accumulation, you may need to get an ASP to disassemble the laptop to remove dust properly, then refresh the thermal grease.

  • Satellite A200 - question format HARD drive after replacing

    Hello

    I know this is probably a stupid question to ask as I am not that great with computers.
    I have problems with my hard drive from my Toshiba Satellite A200 laptop.

    Now, when I took it out it was a 120 GB so I bought another Seagate 320 GB hard drive to replace it.
    Now can I just put it back in or do I have to format the known brand hard drive.

    So if anyone can help it would be much appreciated

    Thank you

    Hello

    New HARD drive should be recognized by the laptop properly.
    If you purchased a HARD drive 2.5 SATA, so I put t see serious reasons why this HARD drive is not working.

    Once the HARD drive has been replaced, boot from the Toshiba Recovery disk and follow the instructions on the screen. The HARD drive must be formatted during the installation procedure
