Satellite A200 - 14 d: CPU control method is defined on difficulty under Win XP

Hello

I have a Toshiba Satellite A200 - 14 d, win XP on it, and I put the CPU: dynamic option in the BIOS (v1.5). PowerSaver is installed and apparently it works, but when I'm on the current, the 'control of the CPU method' is set to 'fix' and I watch the speed of the processor with CPU - Z, it shows which varies between ~ 700 Mhz and 1800 Mhz. But it supposed to be fixed.

This gives also (I think) the cooler being off, when the CPU is not used much, and rotating at high speed, when the processor is used a bit (for example open the workstation...)... then goes out... very annoying...

In the BIOS except "Dynamic" parameters, there is only 'low', which means constantly running on ~ 700 Mhz.

Is it possible to fix this? Thank you.

Hello

CPU - Z does not for me and to be honest I m not 100% sure that if you get good values using this 3rd party software.

In any case, the conditions of the CPU can be defined in the Toshiba HWSetup!
There is a tab named CPU and you can switch dynamically switchable and always low

In addition, power options of Vista providing some options to configure the method of cooling.
You should find it in power options->-> cooling method and processor power management, advanced settings.

Best regards

  • Satellite A200 - stop the CPU cooling fan

    Hello

    I got a Satellite A200-1CK and stop my CPU cooling fan. Not that my CPU is not getting enough cooling. But when I use my laptop to school for use for OS virtualization, it heats up, and the cooler will not turn.

    The CPU cooler is broken or is it just a setting in the bios?

    Hello

    You must understand that nobody does you any kind of diagnostic accuracy and if you want to have the correct answer, your laptop must be checked by a technician.

    Please check the BIOS settings, but on my A200 I can t see anything that can help.

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A200 - 25 X (originally performed with Vista) and just installed Windows 7.

    Problem is that now my remote (model No. G83C0008A110) no longer works. So far, I have not found all the drivers for the remote control.

    I hope someone here can help me.

  • Satellite A200-1ZB: what CPU max can I use?

    Hello..

    I have Toshiba Satellite A200-1ZB model with processor Intel Pentium Dual-Core T2370 @ 1.73.
    I was wondering, what processor max speed is supported by this model? Anyone know? (without overheating of course ;)

    Specs. (HWiNFO32)
    Processor: Intel Pentium Dual-Core T2370 @ 1.73, FSB:533 MHz, L2: 1 MB
    CPU platform: Socket P Μpga478 (Micro-FC-PGA) / mBGA479 (Micro-BGA)
    Motherboard Chipset: Intel GM965 (Crestline-GM) + ICH8M
    Support FSB frequency: 800 MHz
    Memory: 2 x 1024 Samsung 667 MHz (PC5300)

    Upgrading CPU is always risky, and in my opinion, no one can tell if the laptop would have functions properly after these updates.
    Another problem may occur.
    First the BIOS of laptop computers could not handle the new processor or there may be a compatibility problem should be know that a CPU creates stronger more heat dissipation that could lead to overheating or unstable work.
    Last but note would less affect these updates and void your warranty!

    But if you want to know what CPU can be used and then check the properties of the chipset on the Intel page and you should find the information on compatible CPU s

  • Satellite A200-1SC: which tool controls the fan?

    Hello

    I'm looking for a program that I can control the fan speed. Because my fan turns on all 10 dry:(sans charge cpu!)

    Or someone has a Bios more elders where the fan runs slower? My bios version is 1.70

    Hello

    I use the FanSpeed on my laptop Toshiba-No.
    But I don't think it will work on your A200.
    The fan table that is stored in the BIOS controls modules cooling and, therefore, it s unlikely that this tool is running.

  • Satellite A200 BSOD would be the first time that I ever ran Win Update

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite Pro A200 running professional Vista that I bought on October 11, 2007. Win Update never ran the first time, had the laptop then BSOD. I recovered using the recovery CD, and since then, I've left Win Update turned off.

    Someone else with a similar machine did this happen to them?

    Does anyone know what causes this?

    What would be the Toshiba Support policy on this?

    Thank you all.

    What is the hex code of BSOD? (The number of 0x000000xx)

    I am looking this BSOD number to www.microsoft.com for a solution.

  • Satellite A200 - replacement of the CPU

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A200-130 with CPU CoreDuo 1.86 and I think to replace to Core2Duo 2.0 mainly for better performance and virtualization options of ot.
    Anyone done this?

    The replacement of the CPU is usually not very easy on laptops.
    It s more delicate than the replacement on desktop computers.

    First of all, you should check if your chipset supports the Core2Duo 2 GHz CPU.
    Generally, you will find information on the Intel page.

    Second, he must know if BIOS would support the new Core2Duo processor.
    It is very important because the table fan which is stored in the BIOS which controls cooling modules. If the cooling modules n t work properly then the laptop overheats and may damage the material of the laptops.

    These updates are not advisable and certainly not possible

  • Satellite A200 cooler does not constantly

    Hello

    in my A200 cooler always starts for 3 or 4 seconds and it's quiet again. That happens every 10 to 30 seconds. Is this normal? Is there a way to put it in another way? Perhaps more linear

    Hmm, the A200 is a new series and I put t found any information on the internet about this series but I guess that supports similar options like any other portable Satellite A series.

    Toshiba HWSetup provides an option called dynamic CPU frequency mode
    Check if the switch down always will change the fan of the scene.

    In addition the Toshiba Power Saver could affect the rotation of the fan
    The basic settings of the energy savings options called method of cooling, CPU processing speed and CPU control method.

    Hello

    As far as I know on the Satellite A200 BIOS should be updated to the version of the BIOS Win XP if Win XP has been installed on the machine.

    Update you the BIOS to the version of Win XP? If this is not the case, this->.

    I searched a bit on the pages of knowledge of MS for some details about this error and found this page:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB; EN-US; q222973 &

    Microsoft means that this error could be related to the failure of hardware.

    This could be fair and I think that in this case, you must contact the ASP in your country to verify the keyboard and the touchpad.
    Maybe the parts should be replaced.

  • Satellite A200 crashing when moved or when the CPU usage is too high

    Well so recently my Toshiba Satellite A200 started crashing everytime I have to pick up the laptop or run any processes taking the CPU up to 100% usage.

    This means essentially no rendering 3D games and no Photoshop or current iTunes running at the same time, etc. Here are the best even if it happens only when the laptop is plugged and not when only battery power. I tried to use another AC adapter, and I cleaned the hard drive for a new installation of Windows 7 that never solved the problem. I even went so far as to update the BIOS.

    I am not quite determined that he is just a hardware problem, but I was wondering if anyone had suggestions about which party can act up on me. As I said still works like a dream when running on battery power.

    > Here is the kicker if this happens only when the laptop is plugged and not when only battery power.

    The energy saving switch to another profile, using the AC adapter.
    Maybe you can try to change the speed of treatment at a lower level and could increase the cooling method parameters in the energy saving profile when the AC adapter is in use.

    Otherwise, it could be a hardware problem and in this case, you will need a help of ASP.

    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.
