Satellite A300 tends to heat up quickly

I just bought a Satellite A300 custom in June and the area below the keyboard becomes so hot that I can hardly rest my hands on it. Are there settings that I can adjust in order to reduce the amount of heat the machine generates or something wrong with it? One of the laptop cooling keys I've heard would be useful?

My features of the machine are as follows:

Processor T8300 (2.40 GHz)
4 GB OF RAM
2 hard drives
1 = Hitachi 250 GB
2 = Fujitsu 250 GB

Any help is appreciated.

Hello

laptops get hot, usually a little so it's rare to hear that yours is overheating. my suggestion is to check the Power Options in Windows Vista and change all relevant parameters for battery optimized, so that the temperature is lowered and other settings so that energy is conserved. computer help laptop cooling pads, as well as the elevation of the laptop or by ensuring that the cell is operated on a stable surface (e.g. the office) so that the fan vents are not blocked heat to dissipate. If all this fails, then take your laptop to a Toshiba authorized service center which should be able to help with your problems.

I hope this helps

    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. :)

  • Noisy cooling on Satellite A300 module

    I bought myself a Satellite A300-1mc and I wondered how noisy, they should be.
    My old (first) Toshiba laptop A100-147 (xp) cooling system was so quiet.
    Could hardly hear a thing but as soon as Vista starts on Sat A300 it becomes noisy.

    Then after a few minutes the fan will get stronger going a bit then more calm then start becomes stronger. Is this normal?

    How noisy is your laptop?
    I find it strange that a laptop can be twice as noisy as any other

    Hello

    You compare the model of different laptops with different hardware specifications.
    First A300 supports a stronger CPU and I presume that the GPU also provides more performance.
    The two parties create a lot of heat dissipation and this hot air must be cooled properly.
    This means that the cooling fan must be larger and should it run more quickly to ensure good cooling.
    The other reason is that Vista needs much more resources than Win XP one so internal devices to produce more heat than using Win XP.

    These are the two reasons why the cooling fan is louder and run more quickly on an old series of notebooks with low hardware requirements and Win XP.

    I have laptop Toshiba Satellite A300-29N, recently, I noticed that my laptop auto-redémarre after 5 minutes, I thought that this could be a problem of charger so I replaced it, and nothing has changed, so I thought that maybe the power so I plugged the power regulator and no change, finally I opened to check for problems of heating and changed the CPU cooler and nothing has changed as well.

    This occurs if the operating system is Windows or Linux, so is hardware not software problems, recently, time went from 5 minutes to 30 seconds, directly after the OS loads, I don't really know what's wrong with it, I tried everything I suspected it might be the problem, anyone have any idea why what is happening?.

    Thank you

  • Re: Satellite A300 - Windows Vista cling - what can I do?

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A300 with operating system Windows Vista Home Edition.
    After a few weeks of work with my laptop, it cling.
    I reinstalled the OS but and it works fine for 1 or two months, then the laptop to hang again.
    October 2008, I bought this laptop and I reinstalled Vista 3 o 4 times.

    What can I do?

    You mean that Vista does not answer after some time?
    Well my friend, this may be a software problem.

    I mean there is no quick fix for these issues, I assume that you have installed and used many different applications on this laptop.
    It is possible that one of the applications is causing this problem
    It would be also possible that entries in registry and system files have been changed during Microsoft updates

    In my opinion, you must use some cleaning as for example the CCLeaner tools.
    It s free and it cleans your registry and other files

    You should also check the applications that are running while the system would begin to cling
    Finally and above all I recommend you memory, you can run a memory test (www.memtest.org, www.memtest86.com) in order to find some problems of memory.

  • Question of graphics 3D Satellite A300-23d

    I bought a Satellite A300-23d about 4 weeks ago. I use my laptop for graphics and the game. I used it with no problems at all during the first 2 weeks. But later, during the game Anno 1404 suddenly some scattered polygons and textures purpleish appeared. I thought it is the result of the game. But I started to see these artifacts in all games. Now, I can't yet play 3D games on my pc. After you start a game, I see a yellow-red-purple checkered kind on my screen and polygons get spiky.

    It looks like a hardware malfunction. Because I tried the update of drivers and hard drive recovery. It is getting worse day after day. Windows works perfectly fine (except that I got approximately 4 BSOD) but I can't play 3D games! What can I do? The only solution I think it gives for repair. I get the objects even when you play with powerplay (underclocked). It is not a heat problem. And if you ask, I'm not overclocking my laptop. With the help of stock parameters.

    Hello

    BSOD is a sign of hardware or software problem and eventually it s related to the GPU question
    If the new OS didn't install help, I'd recommend contacting the guys of ASP.

  • My Satellite A300 unexpectedly blocking down

    Hello Sir,

    My Toshiba Satellite A300 shutting down suddenly while I plugged my AC adapter / CC.
    It is not to say any conflict or any other and then restart automatically to Windows loading and then stop. This ongoing process when I plugged my adaptor m.

    I checked my laptop not too heat and it doesn't operate by the battery power.
    Is there any solution for my laptop? I m using only my computer laptop battery charges while.

    Hello

    Have you tested different adapters?
    It might be possible that the power adapter is faulty and provides an abnormal power to the laptop. This may affect the functionality of the laptop

    But it the adapter works properly it could be a hardware problem laptop - like an electrical problem on the motherboard power supply
    Don t think it s kind of software problem given that battery mode to work properly.
    I think that apart from the power adapter, the motherboard should be verified and I have fear of the faulty motherboard can be costly replacement of m.

  • Satellite A300 starts sometimes like when you turn it on

    Hey people,

    So my sisters laptop (satellite A300) was more than heating for basically since we bought it, but now I think that has caused a serious problem.
    Now it does not start at times like when you turn the backlight only market not even turn on.

    Hard drive does nothing basically nothing just the power light comes on it is all.
    But when I remove the charger and close the lid and open it again, wait like 2 minutes it magicly towers, so it's the startup problem.

    This may have something to do with it, but when you plug the cable that the tactile area (above the keyboard) lights up if laptops or disable but don't market not turn on if not plugged Chargers... also touch dosen't work area.

    So many things hope you understand all this, thank you!

    Hello

    I think that this is related to the problem of equipment; Maybe this problem of motherboard or power suply electronics problem.
    But that's just a guess and no one here will be able to say what's going wrong with your laptop until it has been checked by a technician.

    That's why I put t think you could solve this problem, install the new OS or new BIOS.
    I therefore recommend to request a laptop technician help and equipment to check.

  • Satellite A300 - Ticking noise all trying to load

    Hello

    Recently my satellite A300 has started to make a quiet ticking / clicking noise when it loads with the laptop battery is running. The noise is coming from the inside of the laptop and if I put the charger "brick" to my ear, I hear a noise inside than in in sync with the sound of ticking.

    Battery does not charge while the laptop is running (but clicking on icon battery says plugged in, load), the battery tends to remain some fees his establishment. If I turn off the coast, it will charge up to 100% and for the use of the laptop, then everything using it with 100% load without ticking noise is present.

    I guess it's a problem with the distribution of energy within the laptop. Does anyone have experience of this type of problem or suggestions about how I might solve this problem?

    Thank you

    Rab

    Hey,.

    I agree with the user above. It seems to be a problem if t AC adapter, you may notice the problem without adapter.

    If you contact an authorized service provider, you can order a new power adapter. An alternative you can ask the technicians if they also say that this problem s adapter an AC or not.

  • Need suggestions Satellite A205-S5841 and Satellite A300-1EC

    Hello

    I need to hear now, I have a Toshiba Satellite A205 - S5841 what Dual Core 1.73 GHz.
    I intend to buy the Toshiba Satellite A300-1EC, which is Core 2 Duo 2.0 Ghz...

    Tell me is interesting?

    Its your choice. The A200 is too slow with the Applications that you use? Do you need to improve 3D performance? Photoshop takes too long to process the images?

    The A300 would have a faster graphics chip, faster memory, more fast/more big HDD, better connectivity, perhaps more memory, more features, grunt a little more CPU.

    Take a look at the specifications in the Brochure and decide if elements or the quicker features you would enjoy. My friend has an A300 with facial recognition (and FM radio I think!), its quite a good machine :)

    Hello

    Yesterday, I installed Win7 on my Satellite A300 (PSAG8E) and I'm very happy with it.
    You're right about the pilots, but it is not so difficult as you think. All things missing can be installed for Vista.

    Here is a brief overview of what I did to have perfectly working Win7:

    -Win7
    -chipset driver
    -Storage Manager
    -display driver
    -driver sound
    -modem driver
    -utility supervisor
    -infrared
    -patches
    -configfree
    -VAP
    Hardware - toshiba
    Control - HDMI
    -WLAN driver

    Everything works fine, but some drivers are missing.
    So I added some Vista stuff:
    -toshiba assist - works
    -card reader - installed correctly
    -webcam driver for A500 (wanted to have the latest version) - tested with Skype - works
    -pilot of the Alps - all ok, but no additional options for touchpad

    I hope this will help you.
    If you have any other questions let me know.

  • Satellite A300 - scratches on the bezel

    I have a laptop Satellite A300 almost 2 years now. Quickly, some scratches appear on the bottom of the bezel of the screen (next to the hinges). I think it's from opening and closing the lid.

    I leave Toshiba replace it? I still have the warranty on this laptop, so it will be free of charge?

    Hello Alex

    This is forum user and I don't think that anyone here can offer the right answer for you.

  • Satellite A300-1FP - webcam Chicony Win 7 64 bit - driver open failed

    Greetings

    I recently did a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit on my Toshiba Satellite A300 1FP. I was surprised how well it went. The only thing missing was a Windows 7 for a Chicony Webcam driver. A number of people on these forums have suggested the use of 64 bit Vista driver. I tried several times to do this work. I deleted the entry of startup, deleted and resinstalled the driver from Device Manager, etc. Everything I found on these forums that I have tried.

    None of this works. I keep getting the error message "failure of the Webcam driver open. Please restart camera or computer. »

    Even with the 'camera' Wizard the Chicony camera is really terrible. A I know before I bought the machine, I would have chosen otherwise. Too late now. Without the wizard, you only have the driver supplied with Windows 7 that allows you to use the camera, but unless you have quality Hollywood light video is so dark it is almost unusable. The "camera assistant" had at least one dose of reminder for darker rooms.

    I don't know why Toshiba never used this device in the first place.
    There are a lot of people with this same exact problem seeking help in the forums for their system.

    If anyone knows how to handle this I'd appreciate it really your. Toshiba, if you listen, what were you thinking?
