• My Satellite P30 keeps overheating...

  Hello

  My Satellite P30 keeps overheating and stop playing computer games. I had this problem 4 months ago and sent my computer to Toshiba. They sent to me with a new fan but now 4 months later the same problem comes back again.

  I doubt that the fan is broken again because I changed it about 4 months ago. I read somewhere on the internet that the problem might be rather an accumulation of dust on the heatsink. I heard that there is a problem with many Toshiba models, which will suck the air from below without filter.

  If it's my problem, how can I clean my radiator?

  Thank you

  Hello Hugo

  The problem is not just dust. A friend of mine has a similar problem and at the end I saw that he uses his cell phone on the table with the tablecloth. The of cold air over the lower part was closed and unit was suddenly switched off.

  Be also careful that your device can catch its breath and you can do a test, put on something to do with the distance between the laptop and the desktop (four books or something similar). Please try this and let me know if the problem persists.

  Hello

  It sounds like this dust is in the heat sink and your laptop should be cleaned using the jet of compressed air. This could blow out the dust from the cooling fans. You can get air to each computer dealer normally stream.
  Check this box!

  I clean my cell phone every 3-4 months and I m always asked how much dust out. I think that s important to clean but it only takes a few minutes. :)

• Satellite A300 - processor overheating

  The processor is heated very strongly - 70-80.
  Like most early was not such.
  Ask is it possible to do?

  OS - Windows XP
  A300 1-oc

  Hello

  You have 70-80 ° C in idle mode or if the processor in its use?
  If the CPU is in use, the temperature is really ok.

  In addition, you can try to clean your laptop with a jet of compressed air. This could blow the dust from the cooling fans and therefore you should not disassemble the laptop.

  You have Toshiba Power Saver installed? Here, you can also change the cooling method. If you set it for maximum performance, you will have the best cooling of the processor.

• Satellite A300-1J1 - keeps cutting out

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A300-1J1 - bought 2 years ago, and recently it keeps cutting.

  For example, it is used to cut everything by playing games like the Sims 3, which is understandable, because it may be overheating. A few months ago I started to put my laptop on 3 staggered of CD cases so there was more than one inch of space under the laptop to allow air circulation.

  These days the laptop was put on, get to the office and go directly to the output. When I reboot it, she suggests to do recovery etc, what I've done. I am currently running Windows Vista Home Edition; There was an update for windows on the laptop recently, that when I tried to install, the Office has frozen, then cut.

  The laptop feel more heated, and I've even switch it on with nothing else anyone below. I use now the laptop of my partner so I can find some solutions!

  I tried to run the laptop in safe mode, but again, it reached just the office. My aunt borrowed my laptop last week and said she found when she moved to the screen and held it in a certain position, he remained more.

  Any ideas or help would be really appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hello

  The laptop stops automatically even after the new installation of the OS. Is this good?
  Well, indeed, it seems that the laptop would be closed due to the higher temperature
  First of all the notebook s modules cooling must be cleaned.
  I mean there might be some dust and debris that prevent fans turn faster.

  I clean my laptop at any time with a jet of compressed air
  Also if you would not notice any improvement, then verification of memory must be the best way to verify that the memory is the use of software called memtest86 +.

  Of course, laptop must also be checked by a qualified technician if nothing would be useful

  Hi Vilus

  During the long period of use, the cooling modules may be blocked by dust.
  This would prevent air from traffic and could lead to a higher temperature.
  I have experience with such behavior cell phone because this happened to my two different notebooks from different manufacturers.

  The cooling modules couldn t run with the best performance because of the dust and I was forced to use a jet of compressed air that has helped remove a lot of dust and debris.
  I blew air through the vents and fans and I was really surprised how much dust was hidden inside the laptop.

  In any case, after this procedure accelerated, the temperature went down and laptop didn t stopped automatically.

• Satellite A300-211 - ACPI overheating

  Hello

  Recently my laptop overheating to frequently. I had this problem before and I bought the cooling package and everything was fine. But now, despite the external cooling device he stil stops. I run SpeedFan to see what is causing this problem. Two hearts runs at an acceptable temperature. But there is that this thing called ACPI - Temp1. Exactly what is it? I used compressed air to clean fan and what I was able to clean with keyboard just disassembled.

  I do complete the cleaning? And last question. Is this fan the only source of cooling in my netbook
  I mean it's the only thing I should replace if cleaning does not work?

  Friend of mine has a similar problem with Satellite A300. Problem was overheating and suddenly switch offs. I disassembled the laptop and cleaned the area of cooling fan and cooling rack. It was full of dust and cooling rack was blocked by dust.

  After cleaning laptop was able to catch his breath and he has worked quietly and without compromise.
  I imagine that your laptop is also full of dust and must be cleaned but not using compressed air. Believe me, it must be disassembled cleaned in professional way.

  I must also say that the disassembly can be dangerous if you do it yourself. Something may be damaged so maybe you shouldn't do it yourself. Try to find someone who can do it for you.
  Accredited maintainer can do for you also but I can't say how much it costs. Contact and ask how it works.

• Satellite A300 has a bad power plug overheating easily and freezes a lot

  I got my Satellite A300 about 10 months ago. There always have a badly taken power.
  A little tugging or pulling up to my laptop, the power cable when falls.
  Is intended for it be loose? Does anyone else have this problem?
  I don't know if I should use my warranty to have it checked.

  I also overheating, blacken and freezing problems.

  Hello Teresah

  I wonder really after that 10 months you did nothing to solve this power plug the question.
  Why don't you contact the nearest Toshiba authorized service provider? I guess that laptop has guaranteed valid and these issues can be fixed for free.

  Be careful with this stuff power and contact the service as soon as possible. I don't know where you live but the complete list of all authorized Toshiba service providers you can find on the Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > download & support > find an ASP.

  With the service guys, you can also discuss abut all other issues you mentioned in this announcement.
  I am also owners A300 and use my laptop about a year now. I use my laptop every day for my work and it runs more than 8 hours a day. So far, I did not notice any hardware or software problem. I ve defined the parameters of power management the balanced diet combined with the minimum level set in the cooling method option. Laptop runs quiet and, at the same time, has enough power for my daily activities as Internet, office applications and Skype.

  It is not easy to say what the problem with your laptop, but I recommend you contact the closest service Toshiba and to clarify these issues.

  Good luck.

• Satellite A300 - overheating graphics card

  Hello.

  My Satellite A300 got recently repaired from the Toshiba official represent in my hometown of Portugal. The problem was overheating, as usual. They understood the problem, it was dust and the radiator was malfuncion. They have changed the radiator and I paid 184,5 as a repair bill. When I got home, the problem still remained, and it seems worse.

  When I start a game, like world of warcraft, for example, the graphics card will of constant 50 degrees to 100 to like 10 seconds, and then the laptop stops.
  Someone could point me in the right direction and could they be scamming?

  I mean, I paid to solve the overheating problem, but they have not solved. Next Monday, I'll see what they had to say. Should I pay for another repair (repair minimum is 80, even if anything needs to be repaired).

  PS: Just in case where, is my graphics: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650.

  PS2: Sorry for the bad English, I'm Portuguese :)
  Thanks for reading this.

  Hello

  Theoretically it could also be a software problem if the laptop is overheating. I had the same problem because I installed display drivers not Toshiba and they had different thermal management so the laptop was overheating. I removed this display driver and installed the new Toshiba display driver and the problem was gone, because these drivers are designed and pre-tested by Toshiba.

  Otherwise I would also contact the ASP and check what they say. ;)

• Satellite A300 - temperatures and overheating

  Hey there

  I own Toshiba Satellite A300 for a year. Lately, I've noticed overheating.

  Idling, the temperature the lowest I measured using HW Monitor was 60 ° C for the processor, 50 ° C for the GPU, 42 ° C to the HARD drive. When I have several applications open, it amounts to 83 ° C for the processor and 62 ° C for GPU, during execution of system witch is quite slow. Lower part of the housing is very hot same keyboard is hot and she is uncomfortable.

  Any idea where might be a problem? Should I put it in service? Thanks for the replies.

  Hello

  You don't have to send it to an authorized service provider, you need to clean your laptop anytime!

  I have recommended the jet of compressed air. Blow gently and shortly the depression of the air holes of the case of the machine where the hollow air flows. This could eliminate the dust from the cooling fans.
  This procedure should be done every 3-4 months to ensure reliable operation and avoid the mistakes of the system.

  I've always used compressed air jet and I never had problems yet.

  Good bye

• Overheating on Satellite A300-05U

  Had for 6 months now, cleaned out with dust and scratch but the CPU is fine. The CPU keeps overheating and the machine will stop automatically. This only happens when I am gaming, but now it begins past also under normal conditions. Downloaded speedfan to refine what the issue is, so I don't know about you, it's the processor. Don't know why it's happening if shortly after I had the machine...

  Trying to avoid having to send it in cuz there all my work United to this topic, if anyone know of a quick fix for this?

  Unfortunately, there is no miracle solution in this case. The only solution is to backup your data and give your machine to an authorized service partner, because they need to solve this very serious problem.

  I don't underestimate this because in the worst case, your machine could get some really serious damage and I think you'd do anything to avoid this problem.

• Satellite A300 - Windows 7, causing overheating

  Hey all,.

  I have an A300/y01 toshi (psagca - 02y010) and that you have recently upgraded to windows 7 64-bit, since the upgrade, I was unable to find a toshiba power saver, which is compatible with win 7, and my pc is a lot hotter then he did a few days under vista, I was in power and configured options plan of power for maximum performance in heating tho is unchanged. also when I turn the pc on the fan does not seem to do his spin test as fast as he did.

  There is still the hot air from the vent on the left and has not extinguished because of excessive heat, tho have not heard the fan out like before and laptop base and hand rests become much warmer, then they have never before.

  Have been to a few different forums that suggest different things like fan.exe tho other comments I've read it does not seem to recognize the fans of toshiba, plan ripping off the base in the next few days and by checking the dust build up, although this may explain the high heat does not explain why the fan works differently under the new operating system and why heat jumped up so much coinciding with the change.

  If someone has any suggestions pls help!

  I have European Satellite A300-1LI, and last week, I installed Win7 as any new install, no updates.
  I must say that the laptop works well and I did not notice much of a difference to Vista. Laptop runs pretty quiet. I must also say that my laptop is supported with Win7 and I installed Win7 VAp, which includes Toshiba power saver.

  Have you checked the Toshiba download page to your country? Your model of laptop is fully supported for Win7?
  Try to use the balanced power plan. Performance will be reduced but also CPU and graphics activity and I presume that laptop will not heat so much as under high-performance power management where the material is required to perform to maximum.

  If the Toshiba power saver is installed on your laptop you can find it on the same place as on Vista. Here you can change the parameters for the method of cooling.
