• 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

When media player or Winamp (or etc.) of plays and I get a message in Skype, MSN or there is no further action with sound, then the important sound changes.

The problem is that the change is impressive and I would that it would always be like that. For a while, I started to wonder what I mean really usually stereo of these "harman/kardons?

  I have a computer laptop satellite C660 and in recent weeks it has been overheating and switching of. The fan and the heat sink is free of dirt and I bought and installed a new processor, but the problem persists. Actually the only way I can get the machine to run must go into the BIOS and run it in a slower mode which is unacceptable for a normal performance. I think I may have one problem material but another CPU change don't know what to try next.

  I can provide details if someone need help and I thank everyone in advance for any advice they are able to provide.

  Hello
  do you have a thermal past when you installed the new processor?
  No idea on this model but have you check if any other component (for example the video gpu) add thermal paste on him?
  You use the laptop on a solid surface to allow the bottom of the laptop breathe properly for better cooling?
  I know some pretty stupid questions, but is just a double check.

  I have a huge problem: my laptop is overheating and I can't sort.

• New Dell XPS 8700 overheating and shutdown itself

  I bought my new XPS 8700 4 days there and that's the first problem, my pc is overheating and I don't know why, I have it on my desk so no dust can damage as it have enough space around fans.

  The problem is that the pc is overheating even when I do nothing, its just to put on a few sites and after some while pc crashes: the screen goes all black. The last time it happened I had the only song on YouTube and I was typing on Facebook, when suddenly the screen goes black and pc closed down, ive checked CPUID HWMonitor where I discovered that my graphics card is approximately 70-85 ° C.

  Second crash is almost the same as the first, but with this difference that the pc remains powered on and just monitor the message "entering power saving mode" and can not be awake so I have to hold the start for 10 sec button to restart my PC. Im a little scared because I am sure that it will not be caused by any software just because the computer is 4 days old and I has not yet opened the case (im not sure if I can just because of the warranty)... What should I do? It is necessary to call Dell technical support or I can solve it it somehow better?

  My PC specs:

  Intel Core i7 4770 Haswell, 16 GB RAM, AMD Radeon R9 270 2 GB, SSD 32 GB + drive HARD 2000 GB 7.2 k, 8.1 Windows Pro 64 - bit

  Sorry to hear that!

  If it is only a few days old, contact Dell Tech Support as soon as POSSIBLE. In the United States, you have 21 days from the date of billing (no delivery date) to request a replacement. Then contact them immediately if you want to have it replaced. Otherwise, arrange for Dell fix this one, if all goes well in your premises...

  BTW: Open the case do not void the warranty.  But if you replace all of the equipment installed at the factory, Dell may ask you to reinstall the original parts, before they honor the warranty.

  I hope that get you it fixed quickly!

  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. :)

• Satellite A300D - overheating after replace fan

  Hello
  I just replaced the fan on my girlfriend A300D as on the old fan bearings were going and making it very loud and he had just gone out of warranty.

  However, the computer keeps overheating with this new fan.
  Everything is clean and the fan works and move the heat out, however the area around the touchpad becomes very hot and laptop computer often overheats and stops automatically.

  Any advice on what could be the problem and what can be done to remedy this?

  Kind regards
  David

  Hi David!

  Which fan did you use to replace? Is it the same as the old fan? Here you can compare part numbers, I guess the new fan is another.

  Well, it's hard to say why the laptop is overheating if everything is clean. Have you cleaned using compressed air stream?

  I think that in this case you need professional assistance of a technician for laptop. You can contact an ASP to get help:

• Satellite A60 - overheating and decommissioning

  Hello

  As "[email protected]", I have similar problems with my Satellite A60.

  After about 10 minutes of normal use on a hard, flat surface, the laptop starts to become very hot and turns off (obviously overheating). He started only when working with heavy editing workload, but is now it does all the time.

  Is this a common fault with the A60? I've had mine for a little more than 12 months and had no probems, and now all of a sudden I can barely use the thing! (of course, it's just out of warranty)

  Any suggestions would be very appreciated,

  Thank you very much

  Mike

  Hi Mike,.

  That strangely resembles the typical issue of overheating that can infest the laptop users. Laptops use a metal matrix (similar to a car radiator) cooling to dissipate heat from the CPU when using, and if the airway through the matrix of the clogging of dust and debris, then a thermal trigger will be used to turn off the power to the laptop.

  Air suction fans act like small vacuum cleaners and pull ambient air dust in the matrix where it gradually accumulates and blocks the air flow.

  Try to use a hose of vacuum cleaner against the aspiration air grills to pick the accumulated debris. I do this with my laptop on a monthly basis.

  Kind regards

• Tecra A7 - overheating and shutdown

  Hello

  I've had Tecra A7 for a few months now. Whenever I try to play a game, the left side of my laptop gets hot. So hot that I can not put my hand it over.

  Because almost all games require that you use the WASD keys to move around, it's very annoying. In addition to that my laptop decides he has shut down due to overheating very frequently. I cleaned all fan openings with compressed air, but it does not matter. Whenever the left would become hot.

  This allows me to play about 20 minutes and then it stops and I have to wait that he freshen up. I have a Tecra A7 with a battery PA3399U-2BRS I looked up so special that the battery was the cause of the problem. According to the utility, my battery is not eligible for the battery replacement program.

  Now, I try to find out why he gets so hot until he must stop in order to avoid the laptop burst flames probably.

  Hello

  Can I ask you how you use the laptop? Please make sure that the fans are free and that there is enough free space around the laptop!

  It s not uncommon as the cell temperature increases during the paid game.
  In such situation, all devices (CPU and GPU) run with maximum efficiency and produce more heat as usual.
  It is very important that all the fans are free

  What graphics card driver do you use? Graphics drivers from Toshiba are slightly modified and support a protection against overheating.
  If the GPU temperature will rise to a higher level, the graphics driver decreases the performance of the GPU and the temperature drops!
  So, it is advisable to use the graphics drivers Toshiba.

  But sometimes the overheating could occur due to improper functioning of the cooling module.
  In this case, the laptop must be verified by a service provider authorized in your country!

• Satellite A300D-15B and Windows7 64-bit drivers

  Have installed a new HARD drive and do a clean install of Windows7 64 bit, most of the devices seem to work. I have 2 unknown devices in Device Manager, 1 is a mass storage device (assuming it's the card reader) and the other peripheral unknown just like shows (no idea what it is) can not find the drivers on the download page, also because I did a clean install lost all the utilities that is preinstalled on the machine.

  Where can I get that back in?

  I think the "unknown device" is your Bluetooth device, and Yes, you re right to the card reader, you can download them to your laptop support page.
  Good luck in your installation of Windows 7.

• Satellite A665 - overheating and speedfan time

  so my laptop is a toshiba a665-06f (Canadian model) which I bought from future shop, here is a link to the plug to laptop
  http://209.167.114.38/support/TechSupport/productcontents/satellite/PSAW3C-06F017.htm

  Since I bought the thing it's always hot, sometimes it would be closed at random (what I know now because it was over heating) didn't think much of him, but then when some games would drop fps unplayable rates I look a little closer and ran a few tests of temperature and I've been extremely surprised/worried to what I saw. I also used a laptop cooler that has 2 fans on the subject, but which does practically nothing. I'll post photos of Speedfan so that you guys can see what I'm talking about

  This first picture is about 2 minutes after that the laptop started well, it's a start-up costs and no program running (the laptop had been sitting off the coast during the night)
  

  on this picture you can see that after 5 minutes with nothing else that speedfan run times have exceded 50 ° C
  

  in the past only through normal conditions of use and the games, I saw temperatures between 90 c + and so I decided to perform a stress test and of course the time broke 90 c, I used the first 95 the stress tester. picture 1 is about 30 seconds in the test, photo 2 is after 10 minutes and photo 3 is a chart showing the increase in temperature and fluctuations over time

  
  
  

  This has been a problem since I bought this thing about 6 months ago, I have since updated the bios and all drivers for current versions and nothing did, im starting to wish I never bought this because these temperatures cannot be set, the processor will underclock itself .9ghz I saw it several times and most of the games became unplayable even with the smaller settings.

  If you think you have a solution please help im all ears, I don't even really this notebook, I saw the temp over 100 ° c before and I can not take any where without the cooler, might as well be a desktop computer, I wish I could get a refund even

  As I see see you as a serious matter, so in my opinion, you should contact Toshiba service provider at the nearest Canada and ask for help.

  It's OK to discuss this topic on the forum but you can read here are opinions or advice how to change some of the parameters of power. I doubt that this will help you contact Toshiba and ask what you can do about it.
