• 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 - 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 and possible overheating

  OK, so I have this A300D for 4 years. Recently, I have this problem when it stops after a few minutes.
  Not enough for execution of diagnostic tests or anything like that. If it is started under Windows secure start frezees with a blurred image. If I stop him to run windows it simlpy stops.

  A year ago, I tried to change my Vista to 7 and have a similar effect. He stopped after a while. It's surely overhaeting, so I switched to Vista and everything was ok!

  Someone told me there is a GPU problem, because it is overheating. Do you know if this is true? I can change it or it is integrated to the motherboard?

  Thank you!

  As you wrote laptop is 4 years old and it is possible that the notebook is full of dust that blocks air cold and cooling grill so the first step should be to cleaning. In my view it should be done on the professional way which means that the laptop must be disassembled.
  Try to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. Ask how much you should pay for it.

  After cleaning laptop s of material can be cooled correctly and everything should be ok again.

  In my opinion, this should be the first step you need to do.

• Re: Satellite L500 - 12 p overheating issues

  Hi all

  I have a strange problem with overheating. When the processor is idle, my temperature is between 60 ° C and the speed of the cooling fan is woking near the maximum. If I surf or listen to music, my laptop is very hot! In addition, I do not know why fun should run all the time, as there are no heavy processes running.

  For example, currently, I have Winamp and Firefox (with a few tabs) open, as well as utorrent works in the background, and the temperature and the antivirus protection is 75 C!

  I don't know what to do, I read somewhere that the BIOS update will not solve the problem, but I am always aware of this, since I've never done this. I installed the default version (1.4) and the most recent is 2.1, from what I've seen.

  Note that I have Windows 7 Professional. What is the solution?

• 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 - 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 - a few questions on the various issues

  Hello techies!

  I got a Satellite A300D and had to re - install a new version of the OS.
  I removed the German language of MS Vista pre-installed and language 32 bit MS Vista Business ed. ENGLISH Version installed.
  Installation was fine, that the software works correctly except for the ATI driver and the ATI Catalyst Control Center (CCC).

  I downloaded the latest version of the drivers ATI and CCC for this laptop.
  Once the Toshiba page but also from ATI directly, nothing helps.

  Symptoms:
  Laptop is used with a docking station (although it does not matter for this issue!)

  -by opening and closing the cover of the display of an error message appears on the screen telling me, the graphic driver works correctly.
  -When right click on desktop > ATI CCC (or open it via the SysTray) a first configuration tool appears and after a few seconds, it hides all of a sudden. After 30 sec guessed it reappears for a second, and the game resumes. I can not click on 'next' or chooses an option within this window. I have to kill the process that is running with this program.
  -SKYPE VoIP: The opposite user can see me, but I do not see the video images of the person I call.
  Even in Windows Skype video configuration, it doesn't show me a video image from my camera.
  -Opening of a PDF with Adobe Reader works fine. To open a second PDF next to her brings a problem and I can't see the content. It freezes the window type. If you move the reader I'm moving the actual content of the office but can not see the contents of the PDF...

  I don't know how to solve this problem.
  It has never worked properly. He has not even after the installation of the plain Vista operating system, then the ATI drivers. Each resettlement shows without success.

  Help, please! Hotline of Toshiba could not support me in this issue.

  Thanks in advance!

  Hi Uwe

  This is a user to user forum so that you will encounter here only users of Toshiba laptops
  But if you still want to hear some tips so you here:

  > When opening and closing of the lid of the view that an error message appears on the screen telling me, the graphics driver works correctly.
  What you could do is to remove the installed graphics driver (Device Manager-> uninstall). Then clean the operating system using the CCleaner (it the free tool) and then install the graphics driver that you downloaded from the European driver Toshiba page!

  > When right click on desktop > ATI CCC (or open it via the SysTray) a first configuration tool appears and after a few seconds, it hides all of a sudden. After 30 sec guessed it reappears for a second, and the game resumes. I can not click on 'next' or chooses an option within this window. I have to kill the process that is running with this program.
  The ATI CCC is owned by the graphics driver. So, as I've suggested above; Try reinstalling the driver!

  > SKYPE VoIP: the user opposite can see me, but I do not see the video images of the person I call. Even in Windows Skype video configuration, it doesn't show me a video image from my camera.
  If the other person you can see via webcam then that would mean that your webcam works fine! You may need to reconfigure the Skype!

  > Opening a PDF with Adobe Reader works fine. To open a second PDF next to her brings a problem and I can't see the content. It freezes the window type. If you move the reader I'm moving the actual content of the office, but cannot see the content of the PDF
  This could be a problem for Adobe, so the first step should be a reinstallation of the software.
  Then follow the same procedure as described above. remove the software acrobat reader, restart, clean operating system using the CCLeaner, reboot, reinstall the software Acrobat reader again.

• Overheating issued with newly installed Windows 7 x 64-Satellite L350D - 10Z

  I just upgraded from vista to Windows 7 x 64 on my laptop Satellite L350D 10Z.
  Unfortunaly I have had overheating issues since.

  The computer began to stop himself after awhile of use, I downloaded speedfan and discovered that the cell was operating at 95 degrees Celsius while playing games, I chose in speedfan that fans would go to 100% at all times

  I also downloaded the latest BIOS update but I still read temperatures ranging from 75 to 85 degrees Celsius, the laptop has stopped to close itself to overheat, but it still don't feel safe.

  Is this a known issue?
  What can I do keep the temperature down?

  Hello

  The temperature seems to be too high and this is the reason why your laptop stops automatically.
  You said that what happens during the game
  During games all appliances are running with maximum performance and create a lot of heat dissipation

  Clock graphics Toshiba down driver the GPU if a threshold has been reached
  Other drivers don't support this overheating of procreation.
  Therefore, you should use the Toshiba graphics card driver!
  Other drivers may be used but only at your own risk!

  In addition, it must ensure that the unique cooling grids are dust-free and fresh air could circulate properly never use the laptop on the lap, couch or bet that it would close the vents and could lead to overheating!

• 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-11 q issue with wireless network

  Hello!
  My Satellite A300D-11 q has a problem with wireless communication. It has all the necessary drivers for Win XP installed and connects to the wireless router properly. However, if Windows is hibernating or going on stand by, after waking up, the computer seems connected to the router but there is actually no internet and no matter what. It gets only OK after reboot. It's bad enough.

  Can anyone suggest how this can be corrected, if possible at all?

  I use Satellite A300 with WXP and Win7 (dual boot) and I don t have these problems.

  You can use combination of keys FN + F8 after stand-by mode to disable and enable the wireless network adapter check if the WIFI connection will be established?
