• Satellite A500-1GL - noisy fan

  Hello

  I recently bought a Toshiba A500 1GL. No sooner had started kicking fan who is very very loud and continuous.
  I thought it might have been that a fault was the laptop replaced because she is less than 28 days.

  The new laptop does the same thing, the fan is so noisy.
  I can't concentrate on work as such a sensation that I will not use the laptop.

  I have two other laptops Toshiba and nor do anywhere near as much noise and are not on as often.
  Anyone have any ideas?

  Thank you

  Hi mate

  Fan activities depend on the heat dissipation!
  There is a simple explanation; more the CPU and GPU, the higher heat dissipation and a higher temperature which requires stronger and faster fans!

  If don t wonder about this fact!
  What you can do is to allow the Eco utility.
  You can also change some settings and the option in Windows 7 power management!

  You can find and beautiful how here:

• Satellite U840W-10J - noisy fan and the version of the bios

  Hello

  more top of the machine when you run tempro said new version of bios is available, the link to it is [Satellite U840W BIOS 6, 40 - WIN | http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EU&selCategory = 2 & selFamily = 2 & selSeries = 198 & selProduct = 7570 & selSh ortMod = null & language = 13 & selOS = 40 & selType = 4 & yearupl = DST & monthupload = & dayupload = & useDate = null & mode = all Machines & search = & action = search & macId = & country = all & selectedLanguage = 13 & type = 4 & page = 1 & ID = 84640 & DISO =-1 & driverLanguage = 42]

  But when I go to the bios, it says the version of bios is already 6.4 - which is strange since the release of this version of the bios date is 10/07/13. And I don't know that I don't have day of the bios for this version this month :)

  Why does say new version is available?
  Would be - that there's a newer version available, that only that it binds to an evil?
  Even if I download and try to install it, it says that this version of the rom is the same.

  Second question is noisy fan, most of the time is at very high speed (and because of the odd design, when the laptop is open, screen - which becomes really hot fan).
  Since no other laptop I used make these noises, if I really need to update for the bios? But which version?

  Health Monitor shows the 77% fan speed - and I'm not playing games or whatever it is, cpu is always below 10%, I m doing nothing, just a light browsing can turn up to such percentage. What I've noticed, is that it becomes this top still when HARD drive this is - like application installation, download updates, etc... I have download the latest drivers intel to drive HARD, all drivers are more recent. Or is it only noisy due to bad design (fan blowing on screen), and I can use it for heavy work and just have to ignore the noise of the fan?

  Last updated driver to trackpad kills finger double scroll btw, so, maybe you guys could solve the problem too? Since I had to go back to the old version.

  BTW, the machine is only two days old

  I think that you should not be confused on BIOS. Maybe there is a problem with Tempro. This process runs automatically and it is possible that there is a technical problem. If you have latest BIOS is OK so Don t you worry about this. Just continue to use your laptop and don t change anything.

  What about cooling fan? Cooling fan is controlled automatically and according to the temperature CPU cooling fan works more rapid or slower. When you play the games you need more performance, so use leverage plan high performance. For each day of activities, use the balanced power plan. It will reduce the CPU usage, but it will be good enough for low level activities. What you can try is to change the options for the method of cooling. You can find it in the advanced power options. It should reduce fan cooling and portable activity should run quietly.

  Play around with these options.

• Satellite A500 - 17 X - Fan has stopped working and the warning message

  As the title says.

  I turned on my laptop today to hear him roar, and then it is simply stopped. I get this warning on every 20-30 seconds:
  WARNING: a problem with the cooling system has been detected. Please turn off the power immediately and return it for service.

  Instead of saying "then put it back in service," I can do to try to fix myself first?

  Thanks in advance

  Hey Buddy,

  Other similar topics I found information that the fan control has been optimized with the latest version of the BIOS. I put t know what version of BIOS you have but most recent, a satellite A500 - 17 X (PSAR3E) is 1, 90 - WIN and can be downloaded here:

• Satellite R20 Tablet - noisy fan, battery runs out quickly

  I observed a problem on my Tablet R20 - no matter how I play with management control of power the fan is always on and almost always in quite high speed. Even if I set the power management profile in long service life of the fan turns down, but for the moment I start doing anything (even minimize an open application window), it is up to high speed.

  The fan noise is annoying, but what is worse, it is the life of the battery which is reduced to 2 h 20 min. maximum. I recently had the opportunity to work on a new model of Satellite M100 and none of these problems exist on this machine. With a similar material (Core Duo, Intel Graphics, same size LCD screen (screen large 14 ")), everything was quiet, and the battery lasted longer than 4 hours.

  Anyone who has similar problems?

  First of all, the fan speed is related to the use of the laptop. If you use an application the CPU works with superior performance and produces more heat. Then the temperature increases at the higher level and the fan start to turn.
  The battery life is also depends on the use of the laptop and the battery. To my knowledge, the battery 6-cell standard which was delivered with this laptop supports 4700mAh. It is not very powerful, and as a result, you can work with battery only 2.5 hours.
  Sure, you could buy stronger batteries:
  for example this:
  Extended capacity battery (Li - ion, 7050mAh, 9 cells) PA3509U-1BRM
  Battery high capacity Pack (Li-ion, 12 cells, 8600mAh) PA3400U-1 b

  The last battery with 8600mAh provides a dual power supply and you will be able to run much longer than with the 4700mAh notebook

• Satellite A500-17 x - fan doesn't seem to work when you play

  OK... I have some post mainly about performance drop and overheating so lets keep this simple.

  Here are my problems:

  1. I updated my graphics driver but it has little or no effect on the high temperature

  2. I noticed that whenever I play games (the dawn of war 2, dragon age origin) the fan made little or no sounds, and only hot air comes out

  3. no fan noises--> does not overheat---> shut down

  4. the only time I hear the fan screams hard is when I restart the laptop

  5. I don't know about you guys, but I start having probs since the update of the bios (my insticts told me that I should not have the update, but I did anyway)

  6. If it is a bios problem (which I'm sure it is) can someone send bios 1.30 for me? I called and email my PSA (PC World, UK) and they told me to get it from toshiba which I don't know how to contact them. (my email is [email protected])

  7. If you help me you'll have 7 models from victoria secret for wives and 2 beautiful children

  tank yuh!

  Hi mate,

  You ask first: are you running factory settings and display driver are you using? I also noticed a problem of overheating with non-Toshiba display so drivers since their I choose only the drivers of Toshiba.
  Check this box!

  I m wondering a bit about your statement of your ASP normally you can get the BIOS directly from them. Was it an official Toshiba authorized service provider?
  On the Toshiba site, you can find a list of them and these guys here, you can also get older versions of BIOS

• Satellite U400-15B - noisy fan after Toshiba WIndows 7 upgrade

  Hello world

  Question 1:
  Last week, I got my Windows 7 Upgrade DVD from Toshiba. I'm leaving has upgrade and after 5 hours, the upgrade was complete. I have encountered a problem that the automated driver installed on the endgame wrong on the update of the BIOS because it is trying to write the backup file of the BIOS on the DVD. After a lot of pressure on the keys, I managed to get the installation to carry and then did the BIOS manually updated later. This succeeded and it updated to V4.80.

  Since the update of the BIOS, the fan noise is much stronger. I noticed it's from the fan that is to the right of the envelope, I guess it is the CPU fan. The fan that blows air on the left side of aeration wors as usual. Any suggestions? Should I get the BIOS, if so, how can I restore from the file BIOS.bak WinPHlash is?

  Question 2:
  The Upgrade of Windows 7 Toshiba DVD, I am able to do a new install of Windows 7, IE not need to upgrade to Vista?

  Question 3:
  On the upgrade DVD Toshiab is automatically installs the drivers required after the upgrade to WIndows 7. He had 22 things to do on my own. Does anyone know how to get the list of the required drivers for this laptop that the upgrade DVD refers to?

  Thank you very much for your time in reading this.

  Have you tried to change method parameters in Toshiba's energy-saving cooling?
  Change it to optimized battery.
  It has reduced the activity of fan on my A300.

  You can find it in the advanced power settings.

• Satellite A500 - 14 c: fan RPM changing even when idle

  I noticed that my fan is almost always above the silent mode.
  Even to just look at Web sites, send emails... the fan continues to go from top to bottom... and usually stay in rpm higher for a while.

  Air coming through the vents isn't hot, so I wonder if it's a problem of overheating or any drivers/BIOS problem.
  Anyone?

  Hello

  The fan doesn't always work with maximum performance because is not necessary if the temperature does not increase to a higher level.
  The module cooling fan works sometimes more fast and sometimes slower and it always depends on the temperature level.

  If the module of cooling turns faster then that would mean that the internal temperature has increased. The fan would remain at this level, if the temperature would not go down.
  But if the temperature drops then the fan might turn a little but slower and the laptop would be quieter.

  This is common behavior of laptop and nothing unusual and not the problem

• Satellite A500-1E4 (PSAR9E) - noisy fan stops is never (BIOS version 1.60)

  Hello from the Czech Republic, I have also problem with noisy fan on my new Satellite A500-1E4 (PSAR9E) (i430M, GT330M) on 64-bit Windows 7 over Office Standard - see http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=46719&start=165&tstart=0.

  Today I have updated the bios to 1.60 (from 1.20) and there has been no change. When the laptop powered to the top of the adapter in all modes the fan is running at 60-70% (sometimes at 90% - my office is perhaps quieter :-(). What laptop power battery in normal fashion fan and high performance race to 60-70% (loud sound) and in the economy mode to 80% (very noisy). It's crazy that in economic mode produce more noise than mode high performance. The CPU temperature is cca. 37-43 C, GPU 48-57. Fans of course never stops and all it's standart office. No intensive work or games. I can't imagine in games.

  Can someone help me please, I'm really helpless. Or this fixes only bios 1.30 and next version not?

  Hey Buddy,

  I think that it of really difficult to say why this happens, but in my opinion you should provide more details about your operating system and drivers.
  Are you running the Toshiba factory settings or you have installed another OS?
  Fan sometimes high activity is due to a different display driver. Have you installed the latest display driver form Toshiba (NOT nvidia)?

  Old BIOS versions, you can get an authorized service provider

• Satellite Pro P200-15W: after Bios Update 1.90 incredibly noisy fan

  Hi, I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro P200-15W, I recently made an update to BIOS version 1.9 and seems to have been a big mistake.
  After restarting the computer, I had a lot of software deconfig and the fan has become incredibly noisy.

  I have the problem with the Toshiba Vista registration software, I get this message: "registration of Vista has stopped working". I read other discussions, I don't want to just disable it in the start.ini file, I would actually solve the problem if there is a way.

  Is there a way to change the configuration of fans? I read a post from Toshiba on another model of laptop that has had the same problem of noisy fans after an update of the BIOS, they gave that a solution with a new version of the BIOS, is there a way to reverse the BIOS to the previous version? (recovery CD will be useful for this purpose)?

  See you soon

  Hello

  It seems that the picture of the fan was changed and renewed in the new version of BIOS, and so fans run fall.
  Why the table fan has been changed?

  Well, usually something like this is necessary to improve the reduction of the internal temperature while the CPU and GPU are running with maximum performance.
  This helps to prevent the equipment from damage!

  Usually, the recovery CD formats the whole HARD drive (partitions too) and installs only the image of Toshiba on the notebooks of HARD drive.
  The image contains the OS, drivers and additional software and has nothing to do with the BIOS update.
  But you can try to recover the laptop to see if you can solve the problems of software as "Vista record"!

  If you want to reverse the BIOS, you will need to contact the ASP in your country!

  Sorry, but all I can suggest.

  Best regards

• Satellite A500-17 x the speed of the fan will never 100%

• Satellite A500 - fans never stops

  Hello

  I did some experiments with methods of cooling of vista...

  First of all, when I start my satellite A500, something like three minutes before the fan to start very quickly.
  When I opened the Toshiba PC Health monitor, temperatures never exceed 40 ° C, but the fan runs at 70%
  Then temperatures decline to something like 35 ° C, but the fan never cease!

  It's exactly the same with the two methods of cooling of the vista power management or the difference is really subtle.

  But a strange thing is when I change the method's cooling performance to economy of execution while the fan is running, then it stops! And it starts again only when the CPU start to become warmer. But again, it remains always under 40 ° C. I think that's not so hot... and the fan noise is annoying when I want to have quiet little.

  So in my opinion, there is a problem.
  If I could change the settings in the economy mode, I would reduce the speed of the fan and I would like to raise the temperature when the fan should start. And when the temperature decreases the fan should stop or slow down to become quieter...

  Thank you for your attention and sorry for my bad English ^^

  Hello

  You said that the fans run at 70%
  This would mean that the cooling modules run with maximum performance, if the temperature remains at the lower level. and that means that the cooling system control module working properly.

  Also you talk about the temperature of the CPU. But there are additional devices such as GPU and HDD that creates the heat dissipation.
  This means that the internal temperature would be different from the temperature of the CPU... possiby is higher...
  That could be one of the reasons why the cooling modules don't stop and run with lower performance.

  However, you should check if your BIOS is up to date.
  If the most recent version was released then it s recommended to update the BIOS.

  See you soon

• Noisy fan on model Satellite U50T-A

  Someone told me everything resolves to a noisy fan? I have upgraded to Windows 10 but has had this problem before. I've tried the settings mode eco but fan still works in the background without the computer that is running hot.

  Have you tried to change cooling option method in advanced power options?

  Usually this should reduce the activity of fan cooling.

• Noisy fan on Satellite M50D - A - 10 L

  I would appreciate help in the future, this problem can be identified.

  Thank you very much.

  What exactly do you mean by noisy fan?
  Do you mean the fan activity or perhaps the noise that would be created by the defective cooling module?

  Fan performance is dependent on cell phone usage.
  This means that the cooling module must work more quickly and often in the case where the dissipation of the heat that is created by the GPU and CPU would be longer than simple.

  This is nothing unusual.
  Of course, you can try to edit some Windows power management settings to reduce the CPU performance and to reduce the activity of module cooling.
  But the fact is the higher temperature, the faster the cooling fans
