Satellite A60 is turned off by itself

Hi all
I have a Toshiba Satellite A60, and she herself is turned off. I had this problem 2 years ago and had to change the hard drive with the disk driver, but was covered by my warranty. It has been resolved for 7 months, but back. Now the same problem is more frequent, especially in the last days.
Another thing, whenever I move it to another room (you have to walk on the stairs, so maybe something is moving, or as the other room is usually really hot), I have this problem more frequently.

I don't know that it's an overheating problem! Sometimes it's really hot.

I opened it to check if the fans (there are 2 large and the other small) are working well and they seem to be.
When we keep the keyboard not attached, it works perfectly for hours, however, as soon as I attach, it get overheated and shut down.

I'm running out of ideas and to consider difficulty will cost you a huge amount of money, and to be honest, I'm not sure that it be resolved.

In cars, there is a kind of thermometer, which could be the temperature. I was wondering it's the same in the laptop, if it is also in cars, according to the room temperature, and if it is what creates this problem.

Everything has any suspicion what should I do?

Thank you.

Hello

Since the opening of you´ve I guess that you didn t took a glance to the fat of cooling on the CPU. In your case, I would do the following:

Looking for someone who is very familiar with laptops or laptop technician. Ask him to replace the fat of cooling on your CPU and graphics card.
The problem should be solved by replacing this cooling fats and clean the fans of dust and debris.

The machine should be run after all the action without any problem.

  • Satellite A60-122 turns off immediately

    Hi there, my 2.5 year satellite SA60-122 turns off no aparent reason.
    Sometimes after 10 minutes and sometimes after 3 hours.

    Why o why?

    Does anyone have an idea?

    Thnx a lot.

    Hello

    you are somewhat familiar with computers? If not, I suggest you bring your machine to a local service partner (http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_gaspLocator.jsp?subs=tais)
    If Yes, then firstly make a few hardwaretests. You can make them with tools like "Memtest86" for memory or "Prime95" for CPU and RAM.
    This software is on a windows live cd for computer-maintenance as the UBCD4Win (Ultimate Boot CD for Windows) which contains a lot of useful tools and diagnostic programs.
    Here´s a link:
    www.UBCD4Win.com

    Other means can be:
    Clean the CPU fan, try to remove the RAM (maybe), maybe the power adapter is defective or maybe the battery.
    It s a little more difficult to find these things, but often it s really good to use this live-cd-system and check the system.

    So, try it (or not :)) and give some information about what happened, maybe to give more detailed information about the behavior of the machine.)

  • Satellite A110-160 turns off by itself when im making a dvd to divx conversion

    My Toshiba A110-160 turns off by itself (abruptly) when im making a dvd to divx (autogk for example) conversion.
    This has not happened before...
    I use a bios updated to v1.7 (the latest).
    Do you think that it is because of this? I also did an upgrade (2GB, 667 mhz) memory and I use ubuntu and windows xp.
    Any ideas?

    Hello

    I Don t have a clue why the machine will stop automatically and I can't give you a quick solution, but I can give you an idea how to make some accurate diagnosis:

    Remove the newly installed module and try again. Then give some feedback if it worked. If not, he should discuss more about this issue, would appreciate some comments from you.

  • Satellite A60-712 - turn off after 2-3 seconds

    Hello everyone.

    I am trying to fix this Satellite A60-712; He came to me without feeder, but I found a compatible and it seems to work: CC in LED lights up and the battery starts to charge.

    My problem is that this starts Mobile for awhile, radiator begins to turn, all the lights are normally, but, all of a sudden everything turns off after 2-3 seconds. I have observed that this machine has only one slot of free RAM and noted that it has integrated the module memory motherboard; that would be the problem? Or another reason?

    Could someone help me?
    Thank you.

    Hello

    > it came to me without feeder, but I found a compatible
    Can you please test it with a Toshiba original AC/DC adapter? The same thing is happening?

    If the laptop has already integrated memory motherboard there is no problem. Alternatively, you can use the laptop without additional RAM module.

    In the worst cases, you need professional help of an authorized service provider. :(

  • Why Satellite 200cds will turn off by itself?

    After 25 minutes to do not touch, weather active or not, it just shuts down and the power led flashes red (all other LEDs are off). He's not coming by pressing the power button then.

    I don't think that there is a power management, because it is so old, but I can't be sure, I have found no manual of Toshiba or Google sites. Can anyone tell what the power blinks red led?

    Hello

    It's a FAIRLY OLD machine so I wonder why you´re always use it. Isn´t a little nostalgic, it? ;)

    Regarding your problem: this 'extinction' appears exactly 25 minutes? It would be useful to know whether the machine really has some powermanagment then you should be able to change settings in the bios.

    If you know how to get to the bios, then it try it. Unfortunately, I Don t know how to get the bios on this machine (perhaps by pressing ESC, DEL or F2... I'm not sure).

    See you soon

  • Satellite A200 will turn off by itself continuously

    Hello

    I have a problem with my laptop because it stops itself constantly, having used internet for 30 minutes, or immediately after launching a major program like photoshop or autocad or a game.

    I spotted that it also runs very hot fast in a few minutes could be related? What could be the problem?

    Hi mate.

    Quest - what? I think I know what could cause this problem.
    I think that it s associated with high temperature. The CPU and the GPU create a lot of heat while running a powerful software (app chart, games, etc.).
    Eventually, the cooling modules can cool the CPU because of dust.

    Remove dust from the cooling fans and the grids using a jet of compressed air.
    This tool is very useful and can be bought from different merchants online.

    Ciao

  • Satellite P200 randomly turns off by itself

    Do not know what is happening, every now and then it shuts it self without reason.

    I used recovery disks several times and it keeps doing. Very frustrating. Any help would be appreciated!

    I don't think that receives it to portable hot.
    That s a normal reason if a laptop has problems with the cooling part, and then gets it CPU hot and stop itself.

    In your case I would clean the laptop. You can use the jet of compressed air, it could blow the dust from the ventilation of cooling.

  • Satellite A60-157 - turns itself off!

    I bought this in January and he did nothing to trouble. the Touchpad no longer works so I have to use a usb mouse, but that's not the problam!

    It has a Pentium 4, 448 MB of ram and a disk hard 80gig.

    If anyone can help me solve this problam I have burning, I would be very very happy.

    Thanks in advance.

    :)

    Hello

    If the touchpad doesn't work, you need to reinstall the driver. Please visit the site of the new updates. In addition, if your laptop turns off without reason it could be an overheating problem. In this case, you must give the unit for service partner. If the valid mandate still use it.

    On the other side, it could be a problem of burning software. Well try you to deactivate the option automatically reboot in startup and recovery.
    That you can find in the System-> Advanced-> startup and recovery

    You can also retrieve you wit the OS recovery CD.

  • Satellite P15-S470 it turns off by itself - overheating?

    Hello

    3-4 years old laptop Toshiba Satellite P15-S470 my father seems to be overheating because it turns off by itself. It can happen at any time: in Windows XP Media Center 2004 (SP2 and all updates), at the prompt of password of BIOS at idle, at Windows startup, etc.

    Also, I can feel the fan blowing hot air hard left, the area of the battery being hot and the CD/DVD ejected hot.
    Hot note does NOT mean too hot to touch with my hands/fingers.

    I used a flashlight to look through the dark wind, and he looked clean (not so dusty or obstructed upward). I removed a few small items to make more air space for the winds, and that seems to help after a few minutes.

    Is there a program/software for checking laptop temperature sensors? I checked the CMOS area, but you could not like office machines. Site Web de Toshiba does not have one either.

    Are there ways to remedy (out of warranty)? I guess that the fans are still working because I can hear it turn very hard (quieter, if it's cool). I'm afraid it will get worse when the weather warms (Los Angeles weather) in particular this weekend when temperatures reach near 100 degrees (F).

    It is only in low 70 in the kitchen downstair on a glass table. The laptop started doing this a few weeks ago, but it seems to get worse when the weather warms. In addition, the laptop is usually [powered on site thanks to its power adapter.

    Battery use is rare (will try to remove the battery, if the problem occurs again to see if it causes the problem).

    Thank you in advance. :)

    Hello

    You said that the laptop is about 3-4 years of age?
    Hey dude, it is a very long time and in my opinion, the laptop must be cleaned professionally.
    For me it s a clear case. the fans don't run with maximum efficiency and therefore may not cool properly the laptop parts.

    I recommend contacting specialist and portable and it assistance. He could clean the module cooling grids and the fan inside.

  • C50-A-1HF satellite will turn off by itself after 2 seconds

    Hello

    the laptop turns off by itself after 2 seconds when I turn it on. This happens if I shutted down or choosed hibernate before (Win8.1).

    This means hibernation is not at all useable.

    The next time I turn it on it works quite normal! Sleep mode works as well. Standby mode it is ready for use after open them both as a repetitive. Fascinating!

    I looked on all the settings of the BIOS, but I found nothing what could be the reason for this behavior.

    Perhaps there is a correlation with another strange behavior. The battery will not be charged over 80%. I do not use the green mode. I have to turn off the laptop and remove the battery completely for a minute. After inserting and booting Win8.1 what it charges again at 100%.

    The discharge time is approximately 3.5 hours. Otherwise, the battery is ok.

    But after the next discharge up to 10% charge that up to 80% more.

    These two effects are not normal. But I don't think (or better, I hope) that there is a material defect.

    Is there a chance does not post the laptop to a repair service?

    Best regards

    Onurbi

    Hey man it are so strange problems and it's not easy to say what to do. All you can do is to install the original recovery image and test with the settings once more, of course without changing anything or install updates or additional applications.

    If possible to do this and test it for a while.
    > Is there a chance does not post the laptop to a repair service?
    As you probably know your possibilities to do something about this are very limited and if there is permanent problem I think you should contact the closest service Toshiba and clarify all of this.
    You have the new laptop model and it should work properly. If you are not happy and there are service problems Toshiba should take are about it and help you.

    HI Fanny,.

    Any graphic activity will tend to make your laptop run more hot and therefore sufficient cooling.

    Make sure that your airway through the CPU radiator is not clogged with dust and debris (a lot of discussions in this forum about this) and also ensure that there is sufficient air under your laptop knife get in the fan air vents.

  • My Satellite L555-L11 turns off suddenly very

    Hello
    My satellite L555 L11 turns off very suddenly. It seems that it s because of the heat, as when it arrives, I put my hand under the laptop and feel a too high temperature.
    my laptop is 5 years
    What should I do?
    thx for you answer

    I think your laptop is quite full of dust and I can imagine that cooling rack is blocked so that your laptop is unable to catch his breath.

    Believe me, that cleaning can help. Best thing you can do is professional cleaning. In this case the laptop must be disassembled. Otherwise, you can buy compressed air and try to clean it.

Maybe you are looking for
