We have tried to put the laptop on a variety of surfaces and had a fan on the laptop to try to keep it cool but it seems still overheating

the laptop may stay inactive come to him and move the mouse, or start typing and it shuts the laptop is around the age of 8 months now

and would like some to none of us are very tech savvy well but any help would be appreciated

Thank you for your time

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 P205-S6267 - automatically stops down

    I'm on a Toshiba Satellite P205-S6267

    Recently, my laptop started trolling and then it just stops himself. I turned it on and it stops again after loading windows. After leaving my laptop alone for an hour, I turned it on and it makes works perfectly except that the laptop is quiet (no fan or whirring noise, usually my fan works from the outset it on). After half an hour, he stops again! I guess it has something to do with overheating now.

    After searching for similar problems, I've heard users get the radiator plug. Now I don't know if this is the problem, but I don't know my laptop is rather dusty and I have never cleaned the inside. Also, I have used for over a year. Do I get my laptop cleaned or is this something else. Also how much it should cost to clean/repair the radiator and the fan and dust?

    Hello

    I think that it s time to clean the laptop because you use over a year and I clean up my laptop every 2-3 months. I m always asked how much dust came out.

    But to clean the laptop you don t need a professional help. You can do it yourself using the jet of compressed air. This could blow out the dust from the cooling fans. So you don't have to disassemble the laptop and it only takes a few minutes. You can buy the jet of compressed air from each store to the computer normally.

  • 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 - USB ports stopped recognizing USB devices

    Hi Toshiba users.

    I have a Satellite A300 for 6 months and the USB ports sopped recognizing such as usb key usb devices, mouse... How can I fix this problem or what drivers to download?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    USB controller drivers are responsible for these functions. These drivers are part of the chipset drivers. Try to reinstall/upgrade to update chipset utility. You can get it from the [page driver Toshiba | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp]

  • Satellite A300 overheated

    I have two problems.

    1. After installing windows 7 ultimate my A300-1eg started to overheat and shut down.
    I know that BONES don't influense if laptop overheating or not, this nut the problem I have.

    2. I have taken stuff on HARD drive what program should I use to writing on DVD and recover factory settings, pre-installed Vista OS ond so on?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Your laptop has started to overheat after the installation of Win 7?
    Have you noticed the same problem using Toshiba pre-installed OS?

    What graphics card drivers did you use running Win 7?
    Toshiba graphics card driver should be used as such driver supports protection against overheating. The chart control the GPU performance and the use of non-Toshiba drivers heat dissipation can lead to a higher temperature and overheating

    With regard to the second question.
    Usually the recovery disc creator Toshiba was preinstalled on your laptop that allows you to create the recovery DVD this application must be used to create such recover disk

    If you didn t create this recovery disk and if you have formatted the partition where Vista is installed, then you will not be able to recover the device to the factory settings

    In this case, you will need to order the disk recovery from here:

  • Satellite A300 1 5 stops instantly and then won't start.

    Forgive me if I posted in the wrong section, but I do not know if this falls of virus and security.

    Since about 3 weeks my A300 1 5 has been stop under its own, however, it does NOT close properly, all that happens is that when I'm in the middle of something (whether it's watching a movie, student or even the cat) he just stops instantly. When I say instantly it is just to stop in less than a second. There is no closing down message, or anything for that matter, he just blanks (as when it is extinguished, even the power button is not lit). When I try to turn it back on, it loads up to the screen telling me that it had closed badly, either because of a program error or that it was for security reasons. then it stops again instantly. It keeps it constantly and does not start beyond this point. My only solution is to remove the battery.

    1. I have Kaspersky Internet Security 2009, it is always up to date and I always perform analyses every 4-6 days to highest possible scanning depth.
    2. I don't have a virus, I tried to uninstall Kaspersky and resettlement and scan then again, which there still he finds nothing.
    3. I believe that something causes a memory dump, ALTHOUGH the laptop stops immediately, way too fast for a memory dump.
    4 when he stops, he will not resume, it will charge for 30 seconds and then turn off exactly the same way.
    5. I tried to use Toshiba recovery to make a backup of my things (twice now), however, it's just down the middle of it.
    6. all possible scans of system health and material have been completed and there is no indication of a fault.
    7. the only solution is to remove the battery (to wipe everything in memory), however, I continue to have this problem.

    Can someone give me an idea as to what is happening?

    Thank you in advance.

    I doubt that it is a virus or security issue. If you have a virus on the computer normally it doesn't stop instantly. It stops normally.

    At the moment it is really hard to say what the reason is for this it could be an adapter AC/DC, battery, motherboard problem or something else.

    You use the factory settings or you have installed your own Windows?
    As Akuma has said, use the Toshiba or another original AC/DC adapter?

  • Satellite A300 - system automatically restarts

    After using it for a few hours my laptop A300 restarts. Initially, happening every hour. But after you turn off auto-start in the system recovery, it has not restarted every hour. Also whenever I turn on my laptop Startup Repair appears saying that the computer was not properly stop, where he starts using the system restore. After you run the memory diagnostic tool, he showed the detected hardware problems, please contact the manufacturer.

    Does that mean my RAMis reducer device? Please help me as soon as possible...

    Hey Buddy,

    The Windows memory diagnostic tool check the RAM modules and if it detects an error it seems that one or both modules are defective and must be replaced.

    You have two memory Modules RAM in your A300?
    If so, you should try to remove a module and all modules test in simple mode. A single module is maybe defective.

    New modules of RAM, you can order from an authorized service provider or some online stores. I think you'll find enough.

    To be honest I don t understand you.
    What is an exception code? What did you do with him? Have you noticed this problem in the past?

    Is that the Toshiba PC diagnostic tool is part of the Toshiba value added package and who knows what you have done.
    What you can try is to remove VAP, clean the registry entries for the Diagnostic tool and try to install VAP again in the hope, it will be working again.

  • Satellite A300 - overheating problem

    Hello

    has taken delivery of a 2nd hand (use of the lamp) A300-1hv... whenever I run whatever whether in intensive the laptop overheats and stops.
    Fan speed shows all cores clocked at 65 c with normal use... and running Nero or similar it pierces upward and it dies on me...

    Now, I managed to understand the power of Vista (finally) settings and assured that he was on a maximum cooling but she still dies...

    Here are my questions

    1. how strong is the fan on these things, I can bearly hear mine all the time and never hear a difference?

    2. is there any application able to handle this better?

    3. someone else has this problem and found a solution

    4. it's less than a year even though I'm not the original owner is still valid warranty for me?

    Thank you for taking the time to read this and thanks for your replies

    Before you do something, you should try to clean the laptop first using a jet of compressed air. This could blow the dust from the cooling fans then.
    You can buy this from a local computer dealer.

    Clean from time to time my laptop and I can confirm that the jet of compressed air is very helpful and easy to handle.
    Try it and the laptop will not overheat again.

  • Satellite A300 - some keys stopped working after downgrde from Vista to XP

    Hello

    Excuse me for my bad English. I have a problem with my Satellite A 300 PSAG4E-0450. Operating system went from Vista to XP. Easy keys, keys shortcut and illumination stopped working. All the drivers have been downloaded. I tried to find it in Control Panel-> Toshiba controls. I changed to bright power, but this isn't work. If I try to turn it off, I see a window with "choose order".

    What can be wrong?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hello!

    As far as I know, the lighting can be disabled and enabled in the BIOS.
    Check it!

    To shortcut keys, you should try to install the Toshiba controls and utilities hotkey.

  • Satellite A300 - overheating and sudden death

    Hey there! So the problem with the sudden closing of my laptop has bothered me for the last 6 months. I did not understand why it happened. But now, I think I can.

    As soon as I start watching movies or high quality youtube and if I do this as 20 minutes, the laptop can crush! Only, it gets really hot, and there is nothing I can do about it. However, if I put a fan beside her, she will continue to work normally. Otherwise > overheat and BOOM! : D

    Is this a known issue? Is it the same for other portable series? Thank you.

  • Satellite M40x overheating while game

    Hello

    When I play a game on my toshiba laptop (satellite M40X) it gets overheated after about an hour. I wonder if someone also has this problem and if I can do anything other than take EIT to the store?

    Thank you

    > I wonder if someone also has this problem and if I can do something
    Don t wonder about this question. It was nothing unusual after 1 or 2 years of use of the laptop.

    The problem is that all the devices and parts of portable computers run full implementation and produce a lot of heat all in game.
    I think that the cooling modules are blocked and fans do not twist full implementation!
    This led to the rise in temperature and to automatically stop down.

    The laptop automatically stops because it supports thermal protection to avoid damage!
    It s a feature, not a bug ;)

    So what to do? It s simply.
    The cooling modules must be cleaned professionally. Usually, the jet of compressed air should just help to clean the fans.
    In a case value, you need to contact a mobile technician who could clean up the laptop inside.
    Then you must get rid of this evil little but annoying ;)

    Best regards

    It does not seem to adjust the speed of the fan if left only you I have to keep changing it and in a minute or two, it slows down again and then have to change once again at the speed of the fan to the top.

    No idea why this is happening and how to fix it? Grateful for any help. Thank you arran

    Thank in advance for your help!

    Reset you the router? Unplug the power connector on the router, wait 10 minutes and then plug it. Maybe it still works.

    Check the settings in the router and windows. All devices must use the same standards.
    Search on the Toshiba site, if you have the newest BIOS and check if the TCP/IP settings are on automatically and in the router.
    Try turning off the router MAC address filter.
