• 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. ;)

  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 - GPU problem

  I have a toshiba satellite a300-15 with a non-integrated (ati mobility hd3650 512 MB) graphics card.

  Last night I did a reboot of my pc and since then during POST I can hear 3 beeps (one extended its follow-up shorter 2). The screen does not, but the windows 7 normally charge. I tried to connect it to an external lcd display, but nothing happened.

  I think my external gpu died.

  But before you do buy a refurbished or bake in the oven, I must be sure that it is not a motherboard problem. Is it possible that my motherboard has an integrated gpu, which means that after removing the ati hd3650 screen mobility should have lit (which do not have).

  Thank you

  can someone answer me if it is possible to operate my laptop without the dedicated graphics card? Is it possible that my motherboard (DABL5SMB6E0) also has an integrated gpu?

• Satellite A300 cpu problem

  Hi all, I had a Satellite A300 under Vista 32 bit

  I posted in this forum earlier on my reboot loop problem
  (http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=77256&stqc=true)

  I finally found that my laptop is fine when it is in safe mode, or when running only on battery
  Once I plug the power that the loop comes back, I saw in another post that disable both processors in Device Manager can solve the problem, and it worked for me!

  However, I want to do a factory restore because my OS is corrupted badly enough (probably due to virus?), many services can not start and also access no internet

  Problem is when I do the factory recovery, the processor driver will probably settle at some point my laptop won't fall through the loop again and was never able to complete the recovery?

  I tried other OS like ubuntu, but problem still exist, so I don't know this isn't OS problem.

  So I would like to know:
  1. What is the difference of the CPU in operation mode/battery safe mode/AC only mode?
  2. What does the processor driver? What happens when I disabled it them?
  3. a way to set the CPU mode in the BIOS? (so I can keep the work process recovery) (I tried ' dynamic/always low' and disable "multi core processing", no help)

  I tried to fix my laptop for weeks, your help is very appreciated!

  > Problem is when I make the resumption of the factory, the processor driver will probably settle at some point my laptop won't fall through the loop again and was never able to complete the recovery?

  I think it will always be the case if you install the system using the recovery disc or own Ms.

  > 1. What is the difference of the CPU in operation mode/battery safe mode/AC only mode?

  First of all if you run the laptop computer is in safe mode, only some essential system process would load and many components non-essential are disabled.
  The processor supports also different modes (C1, C2, C3) in order to save energy for energy savings
  Each CPU has multiple power modes, and they are collectively called States C or C-modes.

  > 2. What makes the processor driver? What happens when I disabled it them?
  Its a driver essential system. Unless the driver of the CPU, the system does not recognize the CPU correctly and the processor cores.

  > . Any way to set the CPU mode in the BIOS? (so I can keep the work process recovery) (I tried ' dynamic/always low' and disable "multi core processing", no help)

  The CPU seems to be the troublemaker and I think that it should be replaced

• Satellite A300-202 - problems with alternating current

  Hello

  I bought a Satellite A300-202 a few months ago and I'm having intermittent problems with alternating current.

  Sometimes I plug the AC power and it does not start (the led are off and windows says that it is on battery) charge. Other times, he is in charge and suddenly stops.

  I suspected it might be the cord broken inside, but it seems to happen also when no one touches it. Usually, when it stops to load, I unplug the wall, wait a few seconds and plug in again, and it starts to load correctly never stop again.

  Someone at - it had a similar problem? I wonder if is it possible to just replace the parts to AC power so I won't have to send the laptop for repair.

  Thank you

  Pedro

  Hello

  I've never had a problem with my Toshiba Chargers but an old non - Toshiba power adapter died after 6 months of use. After the replacement, it works without any problem.

  I think you should check the update of the BIOS as mentioned by Akuma, but for me, it looks more like a problem with the AC adapter.
  So if the BIOS update help t doesn't, the adapter should be checked permanently.

• 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 A300-1EG: problem with the touchpad after installing Windows 7

  Hello!

  I had a problem with my touchpad since I installed Windows 7 (64-bit version) on my laptop (Toshiba) A300-1EG.

  I tried many different solutions to this problem.
  I checked the alignment of the touchpad (be it on) in the BIOS, I tried to install several drivers (on a site of Synaptics, automatically by Windows) and none of these work. Of course, I tried FN + F9 key combination.
  When I check the alignment of the touchpad in the Control Panel, everything seems fine. It is written, that "device working properly.

  I have Toshiba Software, what may be the cause of the problem?
  But I have no idea where I can find something.

  I'd appreciate any help.

  I hope to be understandable - English is not my mother tongue :) Thank you very much in advance for any ideas. :)

  Hi mate

  I'm not quite sure what problem you have but you should first try to install the necessary drivers touchpad m.
  Maybe you used the wrong driver in the past

  So Sat A300-1EG belongs to the series of PSAG4E.
  The European driver Toshiba page does not provide a special touchpad driver for Win 7 for this device.

  But I noticed that Win 7 64 bit drivers touchpad (Alps & Synaptics) for Satellite L500 PSLS3E series is released on the European driver page.
  Try both drivers Touch Pad for this device and test it!

• Satellite L750 - overheating problem

  Hello world

  I am facing a big problem for several weeks now. Indeed, my computer is overheating.
  I have cleaned because I first thought that it was because the fan was full of dust, however, nothing has changed.
  The fan is always a lot of noise and hot air of spit.

  I use speedfan to check the temperature of the processor and do nothing (just google chrome), my processors easily reach * 65 to 70 ° c *!
  [I already reached 85 ° c, with internet and MS Word]

  I don't think that the problem is a software that I re-installed W8 2 days.
  Now I don't know what to do... any ideas?
  Thank you very much for your help! :)

  Laptop: Toshiba Satellite L750
  System: Windows 8 Pro 64 bit
  Processor: i7-2670QM

  > Actually, my computer is overheating.
  How to understand this? Your laptop off or just to reach a higher CPU temperature?

  I mean until your computer laptop doesn t go off, there is no great reason to panic.
  How to use your laptop? Do you use it on the desk or perhaps placed on the bed or on your lap?

• Re: Satellite A60 - overheating problem

  Hello

  I have some difficulties to adjust temperature and fan on my Satellite A60.
  The operating system is Debian and the fan operates at temperatures of 60-65 degrees Celsius (without any process started after the login).
  I had installed utilities like toshutils, fancontrol, lm-sensors... but basically I have not found a solution for this:

  toshiba_acpi #modprobe
  Error: No such device

  Toshiba #modprobe
  Error: No such device

  Now, I ask you advice, please.
  If there are no alternative solutions, recompiling the kernel 2.6.24 (or other) is a solution to this problem? If the answer is 'Yes', how to prepare the package source?

  Now the system works, but not very well at that latitude this question isn't a good prelude to my summer job.

  Best regards

  HM,

  already checked the debian/gentoo/ubuntu forums? Or maybe freshmeat.net where toshutils all appear in their projects?

  Unfortunately I can't tell you why the modprobe won´t work but don't you compiled the kernel option ACPI from toshiba? It must be something that controls the trough of explicitly from functions ACPI kernel using the userlevel tools.

  By the way: have you read newspapers after trying the modprobe of the listed modules you´ve? Please make the modprobe more 'verbose', there may be something usable...

• 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 A300-1JJ, problems with Vista32

  Nice day
  I would apriciate if somebody help me.
  When I used Winxp32 had no problem, but when I installed Vista32 some problems appeared:

  (1) I can't use the multimedia buttons because I have an empty field in Toshiba assist-optimization-> Toshiba > buttons-> name of button. So, it shows me as there are no buttons at all. Version 1.1.14 VAP. I reinstalled 2 times. The second time I did it after installing the OS. But the name of the 'button' field is always empty.
  What should I do?

  (2) in Windows XP, I used Toshiba Power, utility so I could fix the multiplier of x6\x8\x10\x12 optimization perfomance\temperature\noise processor core. In this case the multiplier was constant and not changed (there is also possibility to use the multiplier changing, i.e. x 6 - x 8, x 10, x 12 6 - x 6 - x, but I used a fixed).
  Here in energy saving of Vista I have just minimum and maximum processing power in percentage. But really limit superior only set maximum State only, so I can't difficulty multiplier, but just so I get x 6 - x 8, x 6 - x 10 or x 6 - x 12, but x6\x8\x10\x12 not fixed. Should what program I use to fix it?
  The same problem with the fan controller. There are 3 fan-States in xp, but only 2 under Vista. Why?

  I don't understand why the laptop, which is designed for Vista has worst prospects for soft in the last in Winxp.

  Best regards

  Hello

  At first, I want to know how you installed Vista 32 bit.
  Have you installed with the Toshiba recovery image?

  The fact is that when you use recovery image all Toshiba tools and utilities will be installed properly and you will be able to use all the options including multimedia keys. Installation of VAP is the right solution, but I don't understand what the problem is here.

  On energy savings, I say follow: Toshiba Power Saver under Windows XP Home edition is not under Vista. Under WXP Toshiba has included more options for the power settings allow the best optimization. Vista is different and several power supply options are now controlled by Vista. Toshiba has included only several options to provide the best optimization.

  I use Vista und also power Toshiba, method of cooling in particular settings. I put it to the minimum and portable works really quiet.

  It has nothing to do with the possibilities for better or worse. Let's see how this will be done in Windows 7.

• Satellite A30 overheating problem

  I've had my A30 for about 9 months now, he is just starting to give me problems. At least I have put the computer on top of some books (which is very heavy) my A30 overheats and shuts down. It only started happening. Is it just because of the dust build up or do I have a technical problem. If this is the first, where should I go to get my computer cleaned? Any help will be received with recognition of Ed

  Hello

  Dust clean usually of the heatsink from the CPU using a domestic vacuum hose in the fan air intake grilles.

  Alternatively it is possible to remove the heat sink by removing the small plastic cover (adjacent to the air intake grilles) and then by unscrewing the screws in the sink four hest. The heatsink can then be lifted off and removed debris. Ensure that the heat dispering paste is always in place reassembly of the heat sink.

  Please do not forget to p [ower off Notepad first.

• Satellite P200: Overheating problems

  Yesterday and today my laptop fan is on 24/7 at speed, I checked the time and they were almost 70 years, but when I did intensive work it got up to 80 c and he went really very hot.
  Today I've used and was surfing the net and the Messnger and bam, it has exploded. Not on again up to 30secs, so what happened there. It was quite hot and it's a very hot day

  GMC

  aren´t there are many things that could be done by yourself. I mean, if your machine is overheating then there could be of the following reasons:

  -too much dust in the cooling system
  -cooling of grease on the processor has dried
  -cooling of grease on the GPU has dried
  -too many dust - dry cooling CPU & GPU fat

  For the cooling system which is blocked by dust, you can blow some compressed air trough it. But if the cooling paste has dried, then you should send your machine or find at least a technician who has some clues to this topic and change the fat of cooling.
