• Satellite A300D - is overheating and can not play games

  Hello
  I'm quite desperate. My Satellite A300D is overheating. I can not play new games. Temperature hit 94 degrees and laptop is restarted. I cleaned it several times, very precisely and nothing. So I decided to send it to the official service of Toshiba. After that, the phone is still the same.

  My only hope is buy cooling grease and cooling stock-base. But before that ideas, advice?

  Thanks for everything...

  Hello

  I can understand you mate, but have you contacted Toshiba service center again? You should speak with the technicians and explain the situation. I put t know what they did, do you know that?

  Cleaning of the laptop is still a good idea but if it doesn't work maybe the thermal compound must be renewed. So ask a technician for help laptop.

  By the way: what OS are you using? You can use the same problem with the factory settings and preinstalled display driver?

• Satellite A300D - stop overheating

  Hello, first I want to say that my English is not very well but I try to explain my problem.

  After a year and a half, I bought my laptop for a year and a half und he stop if every time I played something. The cooler is free and not blocked from something, but the ruling still he. So I need to but him higher the cooler under the laptop get more air but this also dint help me.

  What can I do?
  Is this a problem of product know?
  What I've done wrong?

  Psalm (if some Germans are here on the forum and you don't know what I mean I can tell you my problem in German and sry for my bad English) ;(

  Hi mate

  As I understand the message, the laptop stops only by practicing a game
  Is this good?

  In most cases, the blocked cooling modules could be the reason why the laptop stops automatically. Above all the dust and debris inside the laptop might prevent air circulation
  But in your case this doesn't seem to be the reason

  Which driver of video card you are using?
  You should always use the Toshiba graphics card driver because such driver contains a protection against overheating. Pilots use not - Toshiba GPU may overheat the graphics chip.

  Besides the thermal grease which is placed between the cooling modules and the CPU must be replaced for long time the thermal grease to dry and that could affect the cooling process.

  I think the laptop technician should check this and must renew this fat.

  We all know that our series equipped with two hard drive connectors. I installed the two 320 GB Toshiba HDD (same model).

• Satellite A300D-125 - did the upgrade of the disk HARD vacuum warranty?

  Make the process which will not void the warranty?

  I upgraded the RAM to 4 GB, and many people say that it is not.
  What about the upgrade of the primary HARD disk?

  And what happened to place an extra HARD drive to the second HDD slot. I think that he should not void the warranty? What is - it actually?

  I have good news for you my friend:
  If you upgrade the RAM or HARD drive you will not lose the warranty of your laptop.

  The two components can evolve without losing the guarantee of the user. :)

  Of more if you add a second HARD drive will be not too lost the warranty. But don t forget in the second drive Bay HARD must be a second HARD drive connector. Otherwise, you can install a second HDD of the t.

• Satellite A300D - not stop overheating

  Hi all

  I'm new on the forum, but unfortunately not new to toshiba disorders.

  I have a satellite A300D - 14 D PSAK8E for 3 years.
  I had to take a time for a warranty repair (after 6 months) to change the motherboard. Since then, only the usual problems of overheating and batteries that do not live long.

  My brother bought the exact same model, in the same bank, at the same time, and he had to order a new charger. I notice that my laptop starts to spin like crazy fans, as soon as I start it.

  This means that, when it is totally cool!
  His computer portable twin isn't moaning as mine does.

  I did all the stuff. I opened and cleaned, I bought a block of cooling, I empty regularly.
  I keep clean on software, just the basics, my antivirus is the avast, cannot play most of the games and keep my personal files on an external HD.

  These days, 6 months, my shutsdown of toshiba when executing two simple tasks simultaneously (like open a doc office and chrome). Not always, but most of the time.

  At first I thought it was overheating, because as stars fans spinning, but the laptop is pretty cool.

  What operating system? It came with Vista, but I changed it to Windows 7.

  Any information would be welcome.
  Thank you!

  Hello

  In the past I ve changed several models of Toshiba and two of them were models D (AMD) and I have to say that exactly on these models of cooling fan was always a little stronger and fan worked more often. Now, I have A300 with preinstalled Win7 32 bit and it works perfectly. A30/A300D are fully supported for Win7 so the described behavior has nothing to do with the preinstalled OS.
  > I noticed that my laptop starts to spin like crazy fans, as soon as I start it. This means that, when it is totally cool!
  That s nothing unusual and that occur on most laptops including my P500. Computer startup laptop accelerated cooling fan works at maximum and when Toshiba welcome screen is displayed, it slows down. That of normal and don t worry not about this.

  To be honest, it is not easy to say why your laptop stops. Make sure that the laptop is placed on the desk and the cooling fan is not blocked. Clear also all unnecessary background processes to keep the pressure on the CPU.

  Sorry, but I cannot say more than that.

• Satellite A300D - overheating and shutdown

  Hello

  I have a problem with my 3 month old Toshiba Satellite A300D-126. Any time I play a game like Call of Duty 4 or Warcraft after like 15-20 min, the left side of the laptop where the cooler is placed, it is overheating, almost too hot to the touch, and finally the laptop stops.

  I have to mention the fact that, recently, I installed XP (all the drivers downloaded from the Toshiba site), but I somewhat had the same problems on Vista also.

  I downloaded MobileMeter, and temperatures have shown here I think that they are not normal:
  Temp - HDD-35-36 degrees C and 80-85 C (when I m only not with the games, so I think that during the Games time. significantly increase)

  Is it possible that the cooler can deal with games, and it is dusty? If so, how do I to clean?

  Allows any kind of response,

  Thank you

  Hello

  I play call of Duty 4 on Satellite A300-1LI and so far everything is fine. Okay that's the different hardware platform, but I still believe that there should be no difference.

  I think CPU temperature is perhaps greater than usual but, in my opinion, not the critical level. The normal temperature of the hard drive and the same as on my Satellite A300.
  I don't know how you use your laptop, but it is the new model of laptop and I don't think that there is so much dust inside. If the laptop is placed on the desk, try putting back on two CD boxes and place it on the top position. Reduce graphics settings in the game and check again.

  Is the method of cooling energy savings of Toshiba to the maximum level?

• Satellite A300D - 214 PSAHCE - overheating and stuttering

  Hello world

  I am using Toshiba Satellite A300D-214 and I have serious delay problems. I can't play a game properly. I said that I have these questions for the technical department, but they said it's because of the dust.

  After 2 hours of cleaning, I encounter the same problems, but they said I have to pay 50 lire (which is almost ~ $ 25) to check if there is a problem in my computer, even if I have the warranty, and if it's graphics card, I have to buy a new graphics card as the warranty has expired.

  What can I do to fix this?

  Hello

  Which driver of video card you are using?
  Toshiba GPU driver should be used because this driver supports the thermal protection that protects the GPU from damage.
  Use of other drivers can lead to higher heat dissipation and a higher temperature.

• Satellite A300D - overheating issue and it stops itself

  Hello

  Computer: Satellite A300D (PSAHCE)

  Bought my A300D two months ago. It was pre-installed with Vista, which, unfortunately, after a while, became so slow, that it was impossible to get anything done. So I decided to install Windows 7, the other day and it worked like a charm. Except for the fan stops after about 1-2 hours of work. Even if the temperature exceeds 60-70 ° C. The computer stops at about 80 c.

  I do not understand why the fan stops working.

  So far, I have tried the following: I tried to clean the fan with compressed air.

  I read this thread http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=46796&tstart=0 on an update of the BIOS, but the one I found, dated February 09 is the same version I already have. Are there any new?

  I read this thread http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=46117&tstart=105 that connects this http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD84026Q0000R01.htm guide where there is something called Toshiba Power Saver Settings. I searched for her to Toshibas support center, but it can not be found for my model.

  I tried using Speedfan freeware without results. I work as a developer, and I only have my netbeans IDE and Spotify ongoing enforcement, even if the computer gets hot after about 1.5 to 2 hours of work because the fan stops.

  Anyone have any idea on how I can solve this or something else I can try?

  I forgot, I also put the cooling system active strategy.

  Hello

  If I understand you correctly, this happens only on Windows 7. Is this good?

  If so, you should go back to Vista or let's say the factory settings. I assume you are using Windows 7 beta or Release Candidate, and this isn't an official version of Windows. In addition Windows 7 isn't on the market and there is therefore no support of official rider for the time.
  Maybe Windows 7 peut t control the fan settings correctly.

  But this problem could be caused due to a third-party display driver. Then you should try the display driver for Vista on the Toshiba site, maybe it helps

• Satellite A300D-126 - GPU Overhead

  Hello

  I'm owner of Toshiba Satellite A300D-126. I have a question about my GPU.
  Is overheated when I play games or watch a movie. Beginning of the screen up and down, other times I sometimes have a green lines on it or just stopping.

  I can do anything on this subject?

  Can I change the video card? I have an ATI Radeon, but I don't know if my model is for sure for about $ 100. It is going to work or just need a new system?

  Can I upgrade with 512 MB?

  Exchange GPU or upgrade is not supported. Generally the hardware upgrade on mobile machinery is very limited and supported upgrade is for RAM and HARD drive only.
  Overheating can also come from dust in the cooling rack.

  Satellite A300D is pretty old machine and as a first step I recommend to clean it.
  After having done that, your laptop can take a new breath, and I hope that it will not reach the critical temperature again.
