Hi, mate

You are not the 1st person in this forum who has such a problem with the A500. The most possible reason is overheating. Have you enabled, maximum performance, in the cooling method in power management? In addition, you should try to clean it with compressed air stream...

  • Satellite A500-1 - stops when I play games

    Hello!

    I'm having some serious heat and fan with my Toshiba laptop problems. First data:
    The laptop is on and a half a year old. His turning point under Windows 7 64-bit. I cleaned it about 2 days ago and many times before (dust in the fan cooling etc..). Toshiba drivers are up-to-date and I already use a cooling block.

    When I play games sometimes, my laptop suddenly stops immediately, due to overheating problems. The strange thing is that, when this happens, the fan is not nearly at maximum speed. When I restart the computer after such a judgment, the fan fire suddenly at maximum speed, until the laptop even once cooled.

    I started watching my CPU and GPU, and my fan speed temperatures while playing games, and I recognized, that the temperatures increase normally, but most of the time the fan remains at its current speed. Even if Toshiba PC Health Monitor shows, that the fan speed goes from 40% to 90% the fan is actually at a low speed.

    From time to time it happens that the fan suddenly triggers her speed, but it lowers again after 1 or 2 minutes, while the indicated fan speed remains constantly at 90%. Somehow, I'd understand if the laptop would be closed despite the entirely fan running, but insufficient fan controlling? Come on Toshiba.

    In addition this problem worsens every day. Anyone who has any suggestions to solve this problem?

    Greetings
    Thomas?

    Hey Buddy,

    Interesting story, but how do I clean the fan exactly? Did you use a jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans?
    Another reason could be the display driver itself. As you can see in other threads if you are using a Toshiba display driver they might cause of overheating because they don t have a protection against overheating and other thermal management. So it is important to use only Toshiba display drivers.

    What version of BIOS you have installed right now?

    AFAIK BIOS version latest contains another management fan so I'll try to update. You can download the latest version here:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads

    In general the fan will be controlled automatically and you can t he control you. Just make sure you use power plan to high performance for the games.

  • New Satellite L50T-A196 is overheating eapecially when you play

    Hello

    My Satellite L50T-A-196 stop only after overheating, especially when you play (for example, civilization 5 or Football manager 2014). This occurs during the use of the normal laptop.

    I'm not blocking the fans; in fact, I always lift the laptop in order to ensure that they are not blocked.

    What I ve realized that I also installed NVIDIA and Intel graphics cards, and I can't make the NVIDIA one by default. I don't know if this is related to the issue or not m.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    > What I ve realized that I also installed NVIDIA and Intel graphics cards, and I can't make the NVIDIA the default

    It's very easy.
    Right click on the desktop and select Nvidia Control Panel
    In Nvidia Control Panel on the left choose 3D-> set PhysX configuration settings

    Now in the main window, select a PhysX processor you can choose between Nvidia Gforce, Intel GPU (part of the CPU) or Auto Select.
    In case you want to use only nVidia GPU, choose Nvidia Gforce
    In case you want to use only Intel GPU, choose CPU
    Apply the settings

    Then click on manage 3D settings and here in the main window, you will see two tabs: global settings and the settings of the program.
    In the global settings tab, you can choose the favorite graphics processor.
    In the program settings tab, you can choose the GPU for a single application. For example, you can choose the GPU to be used while playing a special match.

    Hope this helps to choose the right GPU and to avoid overheating.

  • All computer crashes when you play Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 (Blue Blue without seeing screen?)

    When you play Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 , my laptop Toshiba Satellite A215-4757 freezes (sometimes after about half an hour, or sometimes less than 5 minutes).  The game has worked until I upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit (earlier version of windows: Vista Home Premium 32-bit .)  As far as I know, all my drivers are updated and regular, programs such as Firefox and Outlook will work perfectly.  I'm not sure my other full-screen games, as I have not tried to play them again.

    I have the game in compatibility mode for XP SP2, but before that I did, the same error occurred.

    The error when I finally force close and turn on the computer named blue screen (although when the computer froze, there was no blue screen, just the image of the frozen game, and the sound was still running like nothing happened.)  I don't remember the other information contained in the error.

    Chronology of the error:

    • I opened the game and it loads fine.
    • I go through the menus and select the park that I want to play and it loads fine.
    • I'll be working or seeking / everything I do at the Park, when suddenly it freezes.
    • I turned off the computer and turn it back on.
    • Startup takes a little longer than normal.
    • Windows opens the error message (which I don't remember the details.)

    More precisely what I mean by freeze (obvious, maybe, but just try to be specific as possible):

    • No mice.
    • Without ctrl alt del ability.
    • No capacity alt tab.
    • No windows key capability.
    • Necessary to force to stop with the button on the computer.

    Any suggestions?  Also, I'm not sure what other information you need to know, so if there are more details, just ask.

    Thank you.

    Hello coasterfreak220,

    Unfortunately, Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 is not compatible with Windows 7. You must have the Windows xp mode in order to install and run it.

  • Satellite Pro L500 - stops when the power cord removed

    Toshiba Satellite Pro L500 stops when the power cord is removed even with the battery to 100%. I removed the battery and all the indications associated with battery answer correctly. For example turns off, Toshiba Health Monitor also indicates when the battery is removed. If installed Health monitor indicates that the battery is at 100%.

    Someone please help. I have not installed anything new.

    Hey,.

    For me, the matter is clear: the battery can't hold a charge so the laptop will be shut down because it has no power.

    I think you need to replace the battery with a new one and you can get a provider of service authorized in your country. Simply contact the guy and ask that they can tell you how much it would cost.

    You can find a list of all FSA here:

  • Problems of keyb/mouse on A30 - 921 reactions when you play

    OK, pretty much since I have received this laptop I had a problem with the keyboard or mouse when you play. Everything works very well, and adults in general unless you're gaming.

    The keys in the game (say HL, HL2, Quake II, GTA, etc) are used to 'paste' in a direction for a second or more, or they have a slow reaction, as with mouse clicks. You could be market forward on the left and then hit to walk upright, but he would continue to walk forward and left for an extra second or two and then go right. I formatted the computer with the recovery disc and the error remained. I then formatted with my own clean copy of XP pro and the problem is STILL there, it must be linked to the material and not related to the software. I even tried an external USB keyboard and he did the same thing.

    I have a feeling that its to do with the use of RAM or CPU, but can't be sure. The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite A30-921, and the shared video memory chip RAM - the video is an ATI Radeon 9000 Mobility. You can choose to use 64 MB of RAM or 128 MB of RAM, the two are still the problem.

    I am at my wits end with this, because the problem causes a lot of grief when playin fast movement of the FPS. I tried to email Toshiba and they just told me to ring customers, and I don't think they won't be of any help. Its really annoyin me since I've had this laptop partly for the reason of the game.

    If someone has an idea, it would be much appreciated.

    Specification of the laptop:
    Toshiba Satellite A30 921
    Intel Pentium 2.8 GHz processor
    512 MB OF RAM
    ATI Radeon 9000 Mobility (UMB shared 64 MB or 128 MB)
    40 GB HARD drive
    FireWire/LAN etc.

    Thanks for any help guys.

    Hello

    I asked my friend on his opinion because he is a maniac in the game what he thinks about. This laptop you is certainly not a game machine, he said. You must set the graphics settings. HL and Quake II should in his work but HL 2 has to complex graphic applications and it will not work properly.

    Good bye

  • Qosmio X 500 - blue screen or system crash when you play

    I have problems with my new laptop.
    The laptop is a week and I get frequent blue screen errors and system crashes when you play.
    At this time I only tried to play a game: World of Warcraft.

    I have run on:
    The original that came pre-installed graphic drivers.
    The latest updated drivers from the Web from Toshiba site.
    The latest drivers for laptop on the Nvidia site.
    I also removed all the drivers and allowed Windows update to find it's own who have a different version again.

    In these four cases, drivers seem to work fine for a while, but will eventually stop responding and the system crash when I start to play a game.
    It happens shortly after the start of a game and other times it can happen after a few hours of game play.
    Sometimes it will result in a blue screen, sometimes the game will change from windows with the error message on the display driver does not.

    I also did a clean installation using my own copy of Windows 7 with the amount of the absolute minimum of software installed to rule anything that might cause a conflict which was preinstalled.

    I also tried to run to run the game in compatibility mode, although I had no problem with my laptop last run the game in Windows 7.

    The windows event log always indicates a problem with the graphics.

    Did someone else has similar problems or found a solution?
    For a laptop that is announced for the game, I would have thought that this kind of thing would not be a problem.

    Hey,.

    In my opinion, it has something to do with the display driver or the graphics card itself I always use the most recent display of the official website of Toshiba (NOT nvVidia) driver because they are pre-tested. If you install the latest driver from Toshiba.

    After this also make sure that you use the latest version of the BIOS. You can download on the official website of Toshiba too.

    I put t know how long you have your laptop, but it should be cleaned from time to time (3-4 months). Therefore, you can use jet of compressed air to blow off the dust.

    Check it!

  • my media player always stops when I play video or movies

    My media player always stops when I play video or movies

    While your it resources play a role in the way that online videos are displayed, the speed of your internet plays the biggest part. The reason is that your internet connection must first download the video before it can be displayed. This is referred to as "Buffering".

    Then, the server of the host, which is the source of the video, also plays an important role in how the video is displayed as well. Some servers have a higher bandwidth which allows better/more fast streaming.

    However, there are some things you can do to try to increase performance. First is to make sure that your computer is not infected by malicious software. For this, I recommend a quick scan with Malwarebytesupdate.

    Next is to clean up the system of temporary files and other objects that can slow performance. Read the article HERE to see how to improve the overall performance of your computer.
