  Satellite A300D-14R belongs to the PSAKCE series.
  The page of the European driver Toshiba does contain all of the Windows 7 drivers for this series, but you can use some only Vista drivers, and you can use the VAP (value added package) and published for example Satellite L500 Flash Card Support utility.

  The VAP is necessary in order to get some features of Toshiba works again

• 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-13Y - extreme overheating issues?

  Hello world

  I have a Toshiba A300D Y13 Satellity system since mid-2008.
  This is the AMD platform with the graphics card of Turion 64 X 2 TL - 60 & ATI Radeon HD 3650. Recently, he began to fade. First the system began to slown down extremely after awhile which was in early 2010. And now the system begins to shut down within 2 minutes then in the game (same counter strike 1.6 it kills).

  I started to wonder what was going on so I installed GPU. Z and Core Temp on my system and I saw that the CPU would run on 62 ° C in "idle" mode and the graphics card at 60 ° C. While in game Core temp would climb to more than 78 ° C and 75 ° C graphics card. So I decided to clean up the dust system, as it has been described in this forum. To my surprise he wasn't still so much dust in there it was almost nothing. But nevertheless the base temperature is now the graphics card to 46 ° C and 43 ° C in idle. But always as soon as I start a game or even flash the base temperature program and the graphics card temp totalled more than 78 ° C and the laptop continues to close immediately. Since it was still overheating, I thought that maybe the system is too low (because it sucks air from the bottom and there are less than 1 cm of space between the desktop and the laptop). I joined to 4 small foam pit with some adhesive tape to it to increase it a little.

  Well idle temp of the kernel sunk to 41 ° C and 42 ° C for the graphics card. He now runs a little longer in games or so flash watchig, but it still turns off because it is still overheating. I wonder if anyone knows what the problem could be that the system is still overheating.

  Thanks in advance

• 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.

• Satellite A300D-14R - how to activate HD3200?

  My PCI HD 3650 card works fine,

  with the integrated chipset (M780G), it should be possible to use ATI PowerXpress.

  the system recognizes only the HD3659. But the system has two cards: the HD3200 in the AMD M780G chipset and a dedicated chip, chip ATI Mobility HD3650.

  can someone tell me how to activate the HD 3200

  thnx Hans

  Hello

  As far as I know that some laptops Satellite A300 have technical hybrid Crossfire.
  And your laptop model doesn t have. It is possible with the RS780M chipset and your laptop model has, it seems to me RX780M.

• Satellite A300D - 14R - graphics card is defective, needs a new

  Hi, I'm an Italian user. I have this phone for about 3 years. Usually, I use this laptop to watch movies and surf the internet. Yesterday, I installed a game, Medal of honor as a specification, but after two minutes my Toshiba stop. Upon restart, it shows me several objects before loading the bios screen. At startup the screen stays black but the phone seems to work regularly.

  Now, how can I do to fix this? Perhaps that if I replace the graphics card, my computer can begin to work as before.

  What do you think?

  Can I ask another 3650 graphics card to Toshiba or AMD for this operation?

  Thank you all... :)

  Hello

  One thing is not unclear to me: you see anything on the screen when you turn on your laptop?
  See Toshiba welcome screen?
  You can enter the BIOS settings?
  You can enter advanced startup settings (F8)?

  If you can see the BIOS settings and the home screen Toshiba I don't think the graphics card is faulty but maybe something screwed up with the preinstalled OS.

• 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 - 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 - 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.

• Satellite A300D-126 downgrade Vista to XP

  Hi all

  I bought the laptop Toshiba Satellite A300D, model 126, with Windows Vista Home Premium (PSAK4E).
  These days I tried to install Windows XP Professional with SP2 on my laptop.

  First, I made a new partition (D :) for the new operating system.
  I installed the OS XP on the D: drive. I expect to be able to choose between the two OS (Vista and XP) when I start the computer.
  After you have installed all the drivers for XP, I took on the Toshiba site, I realized the SM Bus controller driver is still not installed.

  Where can I get this driver?
  Secondly, how can I choose between two operating systems when you start the computer?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  First of all I hope that you have created a Toshiba Recovery disk in order to recover the laptop if something will go wrong.

  Now to your installation of Win XP.
  The installation of Win XP has damaged the Vista Boot Manager.
  If you want to start the two BONES, then you will have to boot from the original Microsoft Vista disc to repair the boot manager.
  After the boot manager has been repaired and you started the Vista device you can use a tool called Vista Boot Pro to include the Win XP to the Vista boot loader.

  See you soon
