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.

  • 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?

    Should I take the laptop to the nearest service center?

  • 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 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 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

  • Re: Satellite A300D - 14 p - XP stops in the middle of the installation

    Hello!

    Why when I install Windows XP on my PC overheated and stops in the middle of the installation?

    Why windows XP run so long, on the other PC as windows loads by 3 times faster!

    My PC is Satellite A300D - 14 p PSAKE8E

    If your laptop gets too hot, did you clean it?
    From time to time, you should clean your computer laptop or let's say the cooling fans.
    You can use the jet of compressed air that could blow out the dust from the cooling fans. So I clean my laptop if it of necessary.

    And what do you mean with Windows XP works on another PC 3 times faster?
    Maybe the PC has a hardware configuration that is faster than the Satellite.
    To improve performance, you can do many things: defragment the HARD disk, remove all unnecessary programs, clean the registry, disable some services, check automatic startup programs in msconfig and so far.

  • 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?

    I use Satellite A300D with Vista and I tried to upgrade to Windows 7 using Toshiba upgrader.

    After the language selection and proceed to the other steps, it asks me to uninstall a bunch of programs. Some are uninstalled very well, but when it comes to four other programs he says "Setup.exe has stopped working" and it does not uninstall.

    I tried to uninstall the manually, but I got the same message.

    These programs are;
    Setup driver Atheros
    Toshiba hardware configuration
    Toshiba supervisor password

  • 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-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 - Turn off all the time

    My wife has a Satellite A300D (model PSAK4E) and it keeps closing. The two randomy and when induced under certain conditions

    Previously, I tested the HARD drive and found bad sectors then replaced with a 64 GB SSD. I tried to install Windows 7 but it kept fault towards the end. So I reset the machine without a battery and now the power button for 2 minutes to clear the memory. Installed Windows 7 + updates.

    I was worried about stopping all the time but flashed the BIOS. Flash worked.

    Laptop resets always? I have reviewed several possible causes and wanted to get other peoples ideas
    1 HARD drive - replaced and even resets
    2. battery - ran on power sector only and even resets
    3 overheating - sometimes under certain conditions (memmory tests or you try to run certain applications) or randomly (without reason)
    4. a broken circuit somewhere on the motherboard
    5 - completely new OS + software resets the laptop when using some applications from a live disk.

    Thank you inadance for the help

    Hi me_in_oz,

    Theoretically the laptop turn off itself due to a higher internal temperature to protect the equipment against damage.
    In this case, you will need to clean the laptop using jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans. It is easy and takes only a few minutes to check out this article:
