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 Pro 4600 - CPU overheating graphics card?

    16 days ago my tosh Satellite Pro 4600 has lost the ability to maintain 25 fps in a game online - IE. Diablo 2.
    He now plays to an average of 4 frames per second and ping gets up to more than 4,000... Needless to say that now, unplayable...

    I reinstalled the game... installed new XP and game on the D drive...
    Same thing... a program called SpeedswitchXP shows CPU use fluctuating 54 to 420, because the clocked processor slot general tab of my computer displays 422 now, not the 847 mhz it used to.

    Still, he surfed on the net and plays yahoo games of cards for example. at lightning speed, but not a rpg online... there work perfectly at 25 fps on average for 3 years... Irretrievably overheating / damaged CPU, graphics card?
    Anyone know? Another temp. program shown running at 64 c is worth a new motherboard?

    I can get one? Any ideas?

    Hello

    First of all, he should know that the processor and GPU performance are dynamically.
    This means that the speed and the performance changes if the temperature reaches a critical threshold.
    This could lead to performance degradation.

    In your case, the laptop is about 3 years old and I think that it s time to clean the fans to prevent the notebook from overheating.

    You can try to use the jet of professional compressed air to get rid of dust and debris.
    Such spays you can buy computer retailer.

  • 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:

  • Updated by Satellite L500D - 16L graphic card drivers

    I'm playing Harry Potter 1-4 on my laptop, but it has not installed properly and bugs in scene 1. I contacted manufacturers of games on this subject and they told me to update my graphics card drivers but I can't find where they are on this site. Does anyone know how and where I can update the drivers?

    Hi mate

    All Toshiba drivers can be found on the European driver Toshiba page:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com
    Satellite L500D - 16L belongs to the series of PSLT9E.
    You can choose this in order to get all the drivers for the laptop.

    But in many cases the driver versions are not similar to the latest versions available on the pages of graphics card manufacturer.
    To the point that the Toshiba drivers are modified and released the mobile use FRO drivers ATI/NVidia don't support overheating protection that helps to control the temperature of the GPU.

    The use of these drivers is therefore always at you own risk

    Hello

    Please read here http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=13

    As you can see, Cpu and Gpu upgrade is not a good idea. Even if your motherboard can handle it but the Bios is not pre-tested for her. In any case, you must contact the Asp (SAV), they can tell exactly whether it is supported or not.

  • Is possible on Satellite L300-21W graphics card updated?

    Hello!

    I think buy Toshiba Satellite L300-21W, but I want to play games on it like Cod2 but I think his series graphics card is weak, so my question is:
    "I CAN REPLACE GRAPHIC CARD WITH BETTER ONE or NOT (and with that one, if you know)"! ""

    Thank you!

    As I know the graphics card on the portable computers cannot be upgraded. This is also described in the follow-up paper - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm
    So if you want to play different games with your laptop pick up info on models with graphics cards better.

    I can recommend you to check the laptop Satellite A300/A350 models.
    Talk to your local dealer.

  • On the Satellite 5200 903 graphics card problem

    Deploy a 5200-903 Toshiba Satellite. A few days ago, I have a problem with the display. All scratches and other
    unknown elements on the screen. It's the graphics card (FX GO5600). Read about it in other forums.

    My Question: Is it an embedded chart? And what do you think, is it profitable to change the broken component?
    I mean if the graphic is on board, I have to change the motherboard together.

    Thank you very much for your answers!

    Hello

    It's look like that there is a problem with a graphics card. Can you check connection of the external monitor to the laptop?
    The graphics card is integrated into the motherboard, therefore, you need to replace the whole motherboard.

    It is quite expensive, and sometimes it is better to buy the new computer

  • Re: Satellite A200 - compatible graphics cards

    Hello

    The nVidia GeForce Go 7300 Council (Toshiba part No. V0001000500) failed in my Satellite A200 computer laptop (PSAFCA-01K00J). I have removed the Board of Directors and am looking for a replacement. I notice that there other graphics more powerful cards now available, like the M76M ATI 512 MB (Toshiba part No. V000101740).

    Someone has managed to replace their nVidia GeForce Go 7300 Board with something different?

    Here's the A200 graphics cards that exist:

    V000100500-VGA-BOARD-nVIDIA-G72MV - ASSEMBLY, COUNCIL, VGA 128 MB
    V000101600 VGA VGA-BOARD-ATI-M76M - 256 MB ASSEMBLY, COUNCIL,
    V000101610 VGA VGA-BOARD-ATI-M72M - 128 MB ASSEMBLY, COUNCIL,
    V000101740 VGA VGA-BOARD-ATI-M76M - 512 MB ASSEMBLY, COUNCIL,

    See you soon,.

    > I see that there are some other, currently available more powerful graphics cards...
    Don't you think that these graphics cards can be used safely? I mean you know that the cooling system has very limited cooling performance, right?

    If something needs to be replaced on the mobile units it is highly recommended to replace it with the same party.

    Satellite A200 is old enough laptop model, so if you need laptop with much more graphic performance, in my opinion, it's time for the new laptop computer. Difficulty this old piece of hardware, sell and buy a new one. This is my personal opinion.

  • A Satellite Pro 6100 graphics card does not work correctly

    Hello!

    I have a Satellite Pro 6100 (PS610E - 02c 60-GR) 1.7 Ghz, 256 MB, 40 GB, 15XT and a Geforce4 420 Go (32 MB) graphic card. Until yesterday it was working properly. Now, there are colors on the screen and there was a blue screen a few times, which says something about my graphics card (it disappeared from fast read).
    I uninstalled the old driver and reinstalled twice. Nothing has changed. Also I tried with an external monitor, but there wasn't any change, too.

    Now my questions:
    1. is it possible to change the graphics card (in particular, can I do it alone without a technician)?
    2. How can I do this, is there some tutorials, especially for my laptop?
    3. an another Geforce4, but for example a Geforce4 440 Go with 64 MB of RAM would fit in my notebook?

    I thank very you much in advance!
    Lukas

    Hi Lukas

    The led flashes as it provides a microcode error!
    This is especially if the malfunction of hardware has been detected.
    I presume that the replacement of the graphics card is the reason!

    As in previous discussions suggested the replacement of the graphics card is NOT possible. You don't believe!
    Looks like that the BIOS cannot handle this new graphics chip.

  • Satellite A500 - 149 - graphics card problem

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A500-149 and last week my screen has scratches ace.

    The grapichs card is ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650.

    I send the computer to Toshiba yesterday but I need feedback because a repair. If the same graph as problem could cost to repair?

    Anyone know?

    I think that no one here can help you. Either is defective graphics card or screen may only.
    In any case, if the GPU is defective, it will be quite expensive.

    I think you should contact Toshiba service and ask what is the result of the diagnosis and how much you have to pay for the repair.

    Hi guys

    Found this thread and point out tips.
    First of all, you must make sure that you use a compatible XD.

    It would be interesting to know, how big is your xD card?

    As I know the card Satellite A300-177 reader supports the xD picture cards up to 2 GB.

  • Satellite Pro 6100 Graphics Card upgrade/replacement

    He had a NVidia GeForce4 420 Go 16 MB card

    I can replace it with a GeForce4 420 Go 32 MB of the same model.

    Is there something more powerful on the market that works without any problem for the 6100? That is to say. GeForce4 440 Go 64 MB?

    See you soon

    Usually didn t of toshiba offers an update of the separate graphics card but he had different graphics cards installed in your computer, and, THEORETICALLY, you can use each of these cards in your machine. I can't promise it but they should all work in this machine.

    The problem is to disassemble the machine completely and if you do something wrong then you know that it is useless to come back because your machine is no longer in warranty. It would be wise to give the machine a technician to exchange the graphics card.

    Unfortunately, I can't tell you what graphics cards in your machine or which partnumbers are needed. In this case you´re on your own.

    Good luck
