• Satellite A500 - overheating after BIOS update to 1.50

  Hi, I hope someone can help me.

  I updated the Bios to version 1.50 a few days ago and now the laptop overheats and stops after a few minutes, when I play a game (Day of Defeat Source btw, it is not the newest and shouldn't be a problem). This problem occurred for the first time after the update. There was no problem with the temperature with V1.20 before.

  Is it possible to downgrade the bios V1.20? Where can I download the necessary file? I can just download the latest version on Toshibas website.
  I have already asked the support of aid, but they did not send me a response up to now...

  Thanks for your replies! :)

  Hi Flex Barker,

  Are you sure that this problem is really caused due to update BIOS? Normally, these overheating problems are caused by the old thermal grease or dust often due to the radiator. In my opinion, you should try to clean your laptop using a jet of compressed air. This could blow out the dust from the cooling fans.
  Check this box!

  Downgrade of BIOS is normally not possible. Older versions of BIOS, you can get your local authorized service provider. :)

• Satellite A500 overheating on 64-bit

  Hey,.

  I just upgraded to 64-bit and my GPU temperature was very high, around 60 degrees Celsius.
  He goes up to 107 when I start a game and died.

  When I had 32-bit running that I never had this problem, I could play a game without the laptop computer overheating.
  I thought at first it was a problem with the drivers, or that im missing something.

  I've updated the bios, every other driver that I could find for my laptop computer and repeatable reinstalled the drivers for video card without change.

  Now, I tried to find how to change the fan settings, I noticed the fan starts to run fast enough to hear at 55ish degrees and I want to decrease the aswells parameter to increase the speed of the fan.
  I tried Speedfan, and like 5 other programs where none of them worked.

  I'm also afraid if I just reinstall 32 bits that I'm having the same problem, because there might be some kind of driver or utility, that I lost in the format.

  Is there a way I can fix this? Is there a Toshiba utility or something that I might have missed?
  The A500 is not compatible with 64 bit? The settings of the fan can be changed?

  Thanks in advance

  Hi dude

  What graphics card drivers did you use?

  As far as I know the use of the original 3rd party drivers (nVidia, ATI) might cause this issue because the drivers don t is supported on an overheat protection.

  The point is that these drivers are not changed. Driver Toshiba of the own GPU a bit modified, updated laptop performance GPU usage would be pointed down to reduce the dissipation of the heat that helps reduce the temperature

  If the use of drivers Toshiba GPU really is essential to ensure that the GPU overheats not

  Also, please check if your cooling modules are free of dust could affect the movement of air and this could lead to a higher temperature

• Dead by Satellite A500-1pj after involuntary Bios Update

  Hello world

  A friend of mine bought a new PC laptop toshiba Satellite A500-1pj a month ago. Windows 7 pro 64-bit pre-installed.
  Also preinstalled: support software toshiba who - correctly - configured search automatically and installs updates and critical fixes.

  Last Sunday this wonderful software recommended an update 'critical' to my friend - she's no expert but a user experienced who can make the difference between an update of the bios (and avoid this!) and a security patch, she agreed to download and install what she believed to be a security update.

  Sure, she gave permission to an update of the bios being installed. During the process of updating the machine froze completely. She waited for three hours and then pulled the plug. Guess what: the machine is now completely gone. Does not display without fan, simply nothing.

  Hotline support Toshiba told him that his cell two weeks old is not under warranty because this warranty does not cover software 'problems and the Bios updates are software upgrades.

  The company repair says a repair will very probably equal to buy a new laptop so here we are...

  My questions:

  (1) the laptop is a Satellite A500-1pj (PSAR9E-01M00QGR) fitted to a phoenix UEFI bios (bios toshiba/phoenix, 1.1.26 update tool is pretty radical - no warning at all! he tried to update me my computer dell laptop, lucky!).
  I found some posts on older machines that can be reflashed using a usb disk, hot spare bios back and a combination of keys (Fn + B or Fn + F...). is it possible to do this with a UEFI bios too?

  (2) anyone out there have the same problem?

  (3) any chance of toshiba help us with that issue and prevent others from making the same mistake to understand at least a warning in their bios updates?

  Thanks for your help!

  Tony

  > The company repair says a repair will very probably equal to buy a new laptop so here we are...
  I doubt that
  I think that the module ROM BIOS was flashed incorrectly (don't know why) and therefore you can not start the laptop.
  This can happen for different reasons, maybe that the update process was interrupted due to a process running in the background, etc.

  In order to solve this problem, the ROM module must be flashed again using a special crisis disk BIOS... that's all.

  The update of the BIOS is always a sensitive procedure but if everything was done correctly, then update the BIOS must successfully complete.

  I found this very interesting and useful to Toshiba and HowTo doc correctly updated the BIOS!

• Satellite A500 emit after bios update 1.50

  Hey guys and girls,

  I have some problems after the update of the bios. Before the update my laptop has been the scene of much smoother and everything was fine and dandy until Tempro told me to update my bios. The problem is that after the update, the temperature seems to be considerably higher as usual when I play the game (I am a gamer) and also all the games I play seems to be much slower than before (lower, gal frame rate). Before the update I could play Dragon Age Origins with 1366 x 768 with 4 x anti-aliasing and the only one that I could get the same performance with the graphic parameter above is on 800 x 600. Now, it is certainly a big problem for someone who is a graphics junkie when it comes to games.

  * What do you think I should do? *

  A. downgrade my bios for when I bought everything first? (I don't know what version of bios is if anyone knows the stock bios?)
  B. perform HARD drive recovery?
  C. clean install of Windows 7 64-bit?

  My laptop computer spec:

  Model name: Satellite A500
  Part number: PSAR3E-00N005EN
  Serial number: X9206227K
  OS version: Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium edition
  BIOS version: 1.50
  Physical memory: 4096MB RAM
  Graphics card: NVIDIA Geforce GT 230 M

  Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

• Satellite A500-1F7 - after Toshiba logo screen turns off completely

  Hello! C:

  Does not start my Satellite A500-1F7 up more - when I try to turn it on, the Toshiba logo appears, but a few seconds later, the screen is completely blank. If I press F2, while the logo is displayed on the screen, the Setup menu opens. F12 also works well.

  At first I thought that my computer laptop just needs a battery new, since she had been asking me to change it for a while and directed by the battery was out. Now I got a new battery - still does not work.
  If anyone has an idea, what could be the reason or what I could do to fix it please help me!
  Unfortunately, I'm a total noob to computer.

  Thank you for taking the time to read all this!

• Satellite A500-1GL - cannot upgrade the BIOS

  Hello

  I tried to upgrade the BIOS on my Satellite A500-1GL (PSAR9E) for awhile now, but a dead battery so I can not go beyond the security check at the beginning. Is it all of the way around it, like I'm connected with current alternative, so I don't see what the problem is! Could I have possibly self-extracting zip files.

  Any help would be appreciated as this is very frustrating!

  Hello

  I think that you will not be able to update the BIOS, if your battery is dead.
  Victory based BIOS update can be updated from Windows system, and there is a security option that allow you to update the BIOS only if the laptop is connected to the power adapter and if the battery is charged.

  You can update the BIOS using a traditional BIOS version, but as far as I know that Toshiba service partner could do that.

  If you have two options:
  Purchase a battery in order to update the BIOS by using win according to BIOS version or you will get in touch with an ASP in your country and will ask you to update the BIOS by using the traditional version of BIOS.

  But the BIOS update is necessary to you?

  I have a laptop with the old BIOS version and I don't have that day even if the new version has been released.

• Satellite A500-17 x with Win7 64 bit - map gfx says its 32-bit

  Hello

  my laptop, Satellite A500-17 x, on Windows 7 64 bit, but the map gfx says its 32-bit.
  I saw this on the nVidia control panel. I was wondering if the 64 bit OS is having compatibility problems when I play games.

  I posted a thread on the game board on my gambling problem and I thought this might be a contributing factor.

  Thank you.

  Can you please send a screenshot? I have Win7 64 bit and nVidia card and when I open the nVidia control panel and click on system information, everything is displayed properly.

  After completion of the activation process, I started Windows 7, but the screen not appear and my U500 froze the message 'welcome. ' I was able to restart Windows 7 in repair mode, but I can not find which sw component prevents Windows 7 start and work in normal mode. Used the incorrect installation option, process automated instead of the custom one?

  What should I do, restore Vista from recovery of HARD drive and re-install Windows 7, this time using the perconnalised mode?

  Hey

  To be honest, I also don t know what software driver is causing this gel, but you can start Notepad in safe mode?

  In addition it of not possible to use HARD drive recovery anymore because you have installed another OS. In this case, you have the Toshiba Recovery disk to restore Windows Vista.

  Anyone has idea about hw long battery last, I mean hours.

  Now, I can only use it for nearley 30 min... Some blog said of updateing the bios.

  Is this the reason realley or is the problem of windows 7 with my battery, experts advise please.

  Thank you, vb sbar

  Hello

  I don't know if the update of the BIOS would help, but if the new BIOS is available for you notebook series, then it s a m updated value.

  But you should also check the Win 7 power management settings.
  Please check this Toshiba HowTo:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/Ann.jspa?annID=41

  It s on vista but Vista power management is very similar to Windows 7.

  Here you must change the battery more user-friendly options.

• Satellite C660 - battery after upgrading to Win8 problems

  Hello world

  I upgraded my computer laptop windows 8 but now I have to keep the charger plugged in any time to use the laptop. The battery can be charged and will stop completely in half an hour. I think it's due to a lot of background with windows process 8 can someone there help me walk the battery disappear so quickly. I can't downgrade to windows 7 that I deleted the roll back data.

  Thanks in advance

  Kind regards

  Mark

  I put t believe that the battery discharges more quickly because of some processes that run in the background. This question might be possible on tablets or smartphones, but this isn't a case for the use of the laptop.
  You can try to change the power management settings Windows 8 in order to save the battery.

  But in my opinion, your battery is almost the end of life.
  I'm don't know how old is the battery, but in my case, the battery is a little older and he holds just load for 5 min.
  So, I think that replacing the battery would resolve the issue
