• Satellite A200 - overheating all the time

  Hi y ' All

  I have a satellite A200 laptop computer that keeps overheating all the time.
  I tried to do the thing of compressed air and she always does.
  Especially when am games online.
  I've had this laptop for about a year now, and it already has an accident and burn on me and everything lost hard disk.
  But this overheating is really annoying me.
  I still have the clear fan so that it still works ok.
  And there is no dust or dirt there either.
  Can someone tell me what could be the problem?
  And also I would like to know how I can format it so, it doesn't let me do.

  Any suggestions would be appreciated muchly

  See you soon

  Do you use the certified Toshiba graphics card driver?
  You should do this in order to ensure that the graphics card would not overheat.
  The driver of Toshiba GPU supports protection against overheating and control the dissipation of the heat created by the graphics chip.

  But if you already use the Toshiba drivers, then the problem could be more complicated.
  In this case, the laptop must be verified by technician ASP.

  Maybe the thermal grease that is placed between the CPU and the GPU must be renewed.
  At the time the thermal fold becomes dry and rough and cannot conduct heat well.

  In many cases, it helps.

  Last but not least, you must use the Toshiba certified graphics card driver because this driver supports protection against overheating and the dissipation of the heat created by the GPU of the controls.
  You must also make sure that the laptop is on the table and that there is enough free space around the laptop to ensure good air circulation.

• Satellite A200 - 23Q - issue processor upgrade

  Hello, I am from Greece, and I'm new here, I know im newbe...

  I have toshiba Satellite A200 - 23q (motherboard: intel gm965, cpu: t5550 (1, 8 GHz))...

  Currently, I bought Intel T7500 (2, 2 GHz)...
  Can I upgrade this laptop with this processor? What can the BIOS I've updated to?

  Sorry for my language faults...

  Thank you...

  Hello

  Generally, the upgrade of the CPU is not advisable.
  Firstly the BIOS that has been developed for this device has not been tested with different processors, and in the worst case the BIOS won't be compatible with the new processor.

  The Chipset must support this CPU;
  http://www.Intel.com/assets/PDF/datasheet/316273.PDF

  Chapter 1.1.1 processor support:
  The chipset supports processors Intel Core 2 Duo Mobile 533 Mhz and 800 Mhz FSB support.

  Processor Intel® Core 2 Duo T7500 supports 800 MHz FSB, so it should be supprted by the chipset.

  But once again; There are other reasons why upgrading the CPU doesn't have to be done;
  The BIOS is one of the reasons.
  The second reason is the higher heat dissipation which would be created by CPU more strong that could affect the functionality of the laptop as well.

• Satellite A300D - overheating issue and it stops itself

  Hello

  Computer: Satellite A300D (PSAHCE)

  Bought my A300D two months ago. It was pre-installed with Vista, which, unfortunately, after a while, became so slow, that it was impossible to get anything done. So I decided to install Windows 7, the other day and it worked like a charm. Except for the fan stops after about 1-2 hours of work. Even if the temperature exceeds 60-70 ° C. The computer stops at about 80 c.

  I do not understand why the fan stops working.

  So far, I have tried the following: I tried to clean the fan with compressed air.

  I read this thread http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=46796&tstart=0 on an update of the BIOS, but the one I found, dated February 09 is the same version I already have. Are there any new?

  I read this thread http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=46117&tstart=105 that connects this http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD84026Q0000R01.htm guide where there is something called Toshiba Power Saver Settings. I searched for her to Toshibas support center, but it can not be found for my model.

  I tried using Speedfan freeware without results. I work as a developer, and I only have my netbeans IDE and Spotify ongoing enforcement, even if the computer gets hot after about 1.5 to 2 hours of work because the fan stops.

  Anyone have any idea on how I can solve this or something else I can try?

  I forgot, I also put the cooling system active strategy.

  Hello

  If I understand you correctly, this happens only on Windows 7. Is this good?

  If so, you should go back to Vista or let's say the factory settings. I assume you are using Windows 7 beta or Release Candidate, and this isn't an official version of Windows. In addition Windows 7 isn't on the market and there is therefore no support of official rider for the time.
  Maybe Windows 7 peut t control the fan settings correctly.

  But this problem could be caused due to a third-party display driver. Then you should try the display driver for Vista on the Toshiba site, maybe it helps

  Please help me with my problem. Sorry for my English

  Hello

  The drivers of Toshiba laptops are a bit different and not the same thing as the drivers from the manufacturer of the graphics card.
  The original ATI drivers are made for office use and not for mobile use. Drivers Toshiba takes supported thermal protection that allows to control the performance of gpu and the dissipation of the heat.
  If you want to use a page ATI driver then your GPU could create more heat as usual which leads to the unexpected shutdown.

  I installed Win 7 on my A210. I didn't install the driver of ATI graphics card because the Win 7 automatically recognizes the graphics chip.
  After installation, I went to the Device Manager. Then, I chose the graphics chip and looked for the driver automatically. Windows has found the right driver and installed this
  Since the unit works perfectly with Win 7

• Satellite A200 - 1C0 - overheating and close

  Hello world:

  I ve got a Satellite A200 - 1C0 PSAE0E and since one month, it stops due to overheating (hybridized with hot CPU). The fact is that when I restart the computer to the BIOS screen, fan of the processor begins to work at a very high speed (to cool the CPU), but to start Windows to start the fan suddenly stops, and the fact is that the CPU is always at 78 degrees celsius.

  I tried updating the BIOS, reinstall windows recovery partition and all components, but it does not solve anything. Also tried to install Windows 7 and still nothing and windows Xp and still nothing. I Don t know what else to do. Help will be apreciated.

  Thank you very much.

  Hey,.

  To properly clean your cooling system, see this article from Toshiba:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD7A01ZZ000AR01.htm

  Another reason could be the old thermal grease and maybe, it must be renewed. If t, you can do it yourself, ask a technician for laptop help! :)

• Satellite A200 - 19K - overheating/fan does not work

  These 2-3 days, my Satellite A200 - 19 k (PSAECE) was himself cut and was not very hot. I installed SpeedFan, but it does detect any fans. In addition, the fan on the base of the machine is not working. Anyone has any ideas for a solution?

  Any help is much apprieciated.
  Thank you

  Hello

  In this case there is not one any magic solution. Overheating is a very serious problem for me. I see two possibilities here: either is dirty cooling grill and the laptop cannot be cooled correctly or there is a mechanical problem with cooling fan.

  If you really think that cooling fan is not working properly please contact the authorized Service partner as soon as possible. I imagine that the laptop has guaranteed valid and if the cooling fan is defective it will be exchanged free of charge.

  This is serious problem and please, do not try to do some experiments, but be sure that the hardware of the laptop is not defective.

• Overheating issued with newly installed Windows 7 x 64-Satellite L350D - 10Z

  I just upgraded from vista to Windows 7 x 64 on my laptop Satellite L350D 10Z.
  Unfortunaly I have had overheating issues since.

  The computer began to stop himself after awhile of use, I downloaded speedfan and discovered that the cell was operating at 95 degrees Celsius while playing games, I chose in speedfan that fans would go to 100% at all times

  I also downloaded the latest BIOS update but I still read temperatures ranging from 75 to 85 degrees Celsius, the laptop has stopped to close itself to overheat, but it still don't feel safe.

  Is this a known issue?
  What can I do keep the temperature down?

  Hello

  The temperature seems to be too high and this is the reason why your laptop stops automatically.
  You said that what happens during the game
  During games all appliances are running with maximum performance and create a lot of heat dissipation

  Clock graphics Toshiba down driver the GPU if a threshold has been reached
  Other drivers don't support this overheating of procreation.
  Therefore, you should use the Toshiba graphics card driver!
  Other drivers may be used but only at your own risk!

  In addition, it must ensure that the unique cooling grids are dust-free and fresh air could circulate properly never use the laptop on the lap, couch or bet that it would close the vents and could lead to overheating!

• Satellite A200 - is something overheating?

  Hello

  I use Vista on an A200-TH7

  About a week, the fan on my Satellite A200 started to turn very hard, and Windows to hang on a minute later. I cleaned the radiator and the fan, but the problem was still there, so I decided to restore the laptop to factory settings, but that didn't help either. However after update my Intel chipset drivers, the laptop ran fine for about a day, but today the fan has started to act up again. It's much better that before, since Windows does not crash, but the noisy fan always worry. Is something overheating?

  I put the laptop to sleep for 5 minutes after the fan started to turn very hard, and he was fine after I took over, which leads me to think its overheating, but I can't be sure. CPU usage was<10%, and="" speedfan="" said="" the="" cpu="" temperatures="" were="" around="" 52c="" (it's="" usally="" around="" 46c="" when="" i'm="" idle="" or="" browsing).="" i'm="" also="" using="" a="" laptop="">

  Any help would be appreciated ~

  Hello

  This strange s boyfriend but maybe the fan is broken and doesn't work correctly. Perhaps, it must be replaced.

  In addition, I think that the thermal grease should be renewed between the heatsink and the CPU. This brings a cooling performance too.

  In my opinion the best way would be if you ask a technician for help laptop. They can check the materials and renew the thermal grease.

• Satellite A200 - 1 M 8: issue playing in Open GL games

  Hello!

  I am the proud owner of the Satellite A200 - 1 M 8 (graphics card: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600). I have problem with playing the games in the graph Open GL system (Jedi Academy or other Quake III-chart-based on a gaming system, for example).

  When I was looking for a answer to my problem, I have based a single thread, also marked useful, but unfortunately is not updated, site of the user's response is no longer available (http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=13561㓹).

  I used Vista, now I am running XP, I downloaded the latest display drivers for XP, for my Toshiba A200 - 1 M 8, and whenever I try to launch the game with Open GL, I get error like:
  "GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem".
  My question is: How can I solve this problem? Are there drivers or solution to make it works? As always, any help is appreciated.

  Greetings - Andrew Wysokiski.

  Hello

  Did you google for GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem.
  And you will get a huge amount of hits.

  It really looks like a graphic driver problem. For most updated could help to solve this;
  As far as I know not all drivers GPU supports the OpenGL but DirectX.

  Someone recommended to check if the OpenGL was chosen (if possible). IF this settings are available, then you might find somewhere in the graphics driver options.

  Bye and good luck

• Update BIOS issue and on Satellite A200-1z3 FN key

  Dear all,

  Satellite A200-1z3

  I have the same problem as many of you already described here. After downgrading from Win XP, I discovered this part of the features enabled by the FN key don't work, for example FN + F2 FN + F6, FN + F7, FN + F8, FN + F9, FN + F12, FN + 1, FN + 2, FN + TAB.

  I read in this forum and found that you can solve this problem be reinstall BIOS. When I tried to download BIOS on site it requires Pass and Login which I don't have. If you have any suggestions to download it from there?

  If not, how I can activate keboard light FN + F2 and the scroll Lock FN + F9 without button FN button.

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  > When I tried to download BIOS on site requires Login and Pass that I n t I.
  Did you use the right page of the Toshiba driver?
  You story sounds strange for me because I have visited the Toshiba European page and choose your model. Satellite A200-1z3 PSAE3E.

  And I was able to download the BIOS 5, 60 - WIN.

  Then maybe you should try again I'm sure it'll work!

  Good bye

• Satellite A200-1BW - BIOS issue

  I have the above laptop downgraded to purchase Vista Ultimate to WXP SR2, but I'll have questions, get the BIOS to recognize that there is 4 GB of RAM in there. He thinks that there is 3GB.

  Two ram chips have been checked and they are pairs of 2 GB.
  The version of the BIOS that is running is 1.4.

  The 3 questions I have are:

  1. What is the portable version, should I be selection when choosing my laptop to look for a BIOS upgrade, I guess it's the (Satellite A200 (PSAEC) as is the farm that need the code of the laptop on the back, I don't see that the A200-1BW listed anywhere on your site. It is an upgrade of the BIOS so I want to make sure that I applied the correct version.

  2. what BIOS should I be executed, because the BIOS in Vista is currently 1.8 and the BIOS XP currently 5.8, it seems that my laptop is running the wrong version of the BIOS for my operating system.

  3 upgrades new BIOS (if any) does the problem of 3 to 4 GB?

  Note: It is not that memory does not appear in Windows XP Home edition, it's the BIOS screen post indicating that he has only 3 GB on the machine when there are actually 4GB

  Thanks in advance
  Tony

  With regard to the number of question

  (1) the serial number of the laptop is found at the bottom of the unit. Check the label. I found the info also, that the A200-1BW would belong to the PSAECE series.

  (2) If you are using the operating system XP on this laptop you must update the BIOS to the XP version. If you want to use Vista, updated the BIOS to the version of Vista.

  (3) usually after the BIOS update the 4 GB of memory should be recognized.
  Note _But; _ the version of Vista 32 bit will always be use only 3 GB of RAM due to the limitation of the 32 bit OS!

  Best regards
