• The satellite C855 - raised average temperature and fan speed

  Hello!

  I got this toshiba Satellite C855 since March this year. It is only recently that the CPU temperature and the speed of the fans have been worrying me.

  When I'm not playing games or doing a livestream my CPU temp is about 35-40% with the regular 50% fanspeed or not on because she was cool.

  When I play games however the fanspeed is up around 66 to 68% with the central unit was 55-60%

  I was wondering if this is normal? or I have to clean it by taking it apart. If it's the second option then I'm worried because I don't want to damage anything inside. In addition, I'm not bad with the inner workings of a computer.

  Any help or information would be greatly appreciated thanks.

  In my opinion there is no reason to panic. T is the logic which is higher under stress, activity of the CPU and CPU produces more heat. Laptop needs to be cooled correctly, so the sensors that control the cooling fans sign up for increasing temperature and cooling fans run on higher speed.

  There is no reason for cleaning. And one day if this must be done please don t do it alone. You are not allowed to do this.

• Satellite A660-18 suspended and needs hard reboot

  My Satellite A660-18 crashes every two days about 2/3 times. I can't press ctrl + alt + del and the mouse does not move. I pressed the power button to restart manually. It started about two weeks after I got it in September. I watch a lot of videos online (and offline) and usually after the screen freezes / crashes, audio continues and extends. I thought that it was a problem with IE8, so I switched to Google Chrome, but it still continues. This occurs also in offline mode. Also, after my laptop crashes, the fan speeds up so I thought it was an overheating issue. I bought a carpet of cooling a few days ago, and the system still hangs. I don't know what to do now, can anyone help?

  Hello

  It's not easy to say what causes this but you should check different things;

  (1) reinstall the OS. Dirty registry entries affect the OS eth feature
  (2) clean OS using CCleaner
  (3) check the bars of memory. Run the test using a tool like memtest86 + or similar
  (4) check the HARD disk. You can use Drive Fitness Test, which is free.
  (5) update BIOS and other pilots like graphics card driver

  Good luck

• Re: Satellite L650-116 - 90 continuously fan speed

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L650-116 psk1je... the fan speed is 89 to 90% almost all the time even if I do not practically nothing on it... I don't have the running games or programs that require a big system configuration.

  The core temperature is between 42 to 45 degrees. The problem may come from the latest BIOS version 2.10? I tried to install a previous version of bios 1.80, but he won't let me to install because it is older than the one I have already.

  Seems to have started another discussion here and it seems that you have already solved this by cleaning the fans:

• The Dell Precision T7600 CPU temperature and fan speed

  Hi all

  I recently got a Dell Precision T7600 workstation that has two processors Xeon E5-2620.  I checked the specifications of Intel and the maximum temperature for these processors apparently is 77.4 C.

  However, when you run fairly intensive applications that can last a few days or so to analyze, I noticed that the CPU temperatures get much hotter than this no difference in the speed of the fan.  I used speedfan and CPUID to check the temperature/fan speed.  The highest I've seen the temperature was 90 c and the fan speed has been only 900 RPM.  He regularly sits on 70 c and still no response from the fans.

  I find this a little hard to believe given that surely fans should be a little lower than 90 c action!  I checked the settings of the bios (version A05) and the fan speed control is on auto.  I have also run the diagnostics and it reported no problem.  The fans run, but I'm not convinced that is the speed controller!

  Is this normal?

  I managed to re - install the A10 bios (it appeared to include a few things my already installed version is not ).

  Anyway, tried to launch a number of things to keep the processor at 100% for a few hours.  It seems that the fan speed changes now and the maximum temperature of the processor, I was able to get (and briefly) was 72 C.  He had served mainly the mid to high 60s with fan speeds ranging between ~ 1000 - 1500 rpm, as required to keep it there.

  I would say that the new BIOS has solved my problem.

• Official Satellite A660 cant get and iTunes-64 updates moved

  Hello

  I've had my laptop for about 3 weeks now and have a few problems that maybe someone here can help with :)
  It's a Toshiba Satellite A660 Windows 7 64 bit, with all the options of support authorized toshiba - tempro, health bulletin board etc.

  Problem 1:
  The chips toshiba Board asked me to update a load of stuff - Bios, display drivers, wireless drivers etc.
  The only update (seems... it did not freeze at least) worked was the update of the broadcom wireless driver.
  So, for the update of the display, I download the file, unzip it and nothing is passes - I have tried to run the tinstallwb.exe.
  I am asked if I want the program to change the hard drive, I say Yes... and that's the last I've heard of it... tried for hours to make it work, but I look at a desktop computer without activity. In the folder to archive, if I try and run the setup.exe (the nvidia part) it says that no valid nvidia hardware has been detected.

  Problem 2:
  I tried the bios update, Bulletin Board asked me to install... it didn't, didn't want to install.

  Problem 3:
  I spend most of the time the laptop turned off, because it freezes on the screen of closing...

  Problem 4:
  Prob not a toshiba problem - but I can not install Quicktime or iTunes... the installer just freezes (it goes in not responing well) - I left runningn elaptop th for about 4 hours yesterday, trying to install itunes 64-bit until I had to kill the task (and turn it off, like shutdown does not work)

  Any ideas, I've given up trying to update the updates that the toshiba Council services told me to put up-to-date?
  I tried the update obvious everything I can, but the toshiba updates do not update :(
  Other software: MS Office and Outlook, firefox.

  Thanks for any help,

  Andy

  Hello

  (1) you can download all the drivers directly from the page of European driver of Toshiba.
  If you really need an update, then you must download the file, should save on the HARD drive should unzip the package and must be run setup.exe or should update the driver from Device Manager.

  (2) this is a HowTo doc on update of the BIOS:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/Ann.jspa?annID=60
  If this is not possible, then your Windows operating system might be confused to the top and maybe you should get the phone before performing a BIOS update.

  (3) as suggested above; all these questions could be linked to the damaged operating system and maybe you need to reinstall the operating system to make it work again.

  (4) see point 3

• Satellite A660 - Tempro alerts and the status of the guarantee

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A660. Windows 7 64-bit.
  First Tempro worked but I have not had an update since October 6 and my warranty status now says
  'Standard Standard warranty Toshiba unregistered'?
  Think this should happen when Tempro advised me on a Tempro itsself update: update around 6 October?
  I registered my guarantee that some moths back, I can not re - save that I am already registered, I can confirm that my warranty is until August 2011 on the toshiba support site.
  I can browse and then install updates from toshiba but not by Tempro. Infact today I downloaded Tempro 3.3.4 and installed.
  TEMPRO is activated and shows my correct series and number of model, but always said that my warranty is not registered.

  Under condition of the guarantee: guarantee offers, help and register buttons all work, but clicking on the button "Refresh" seems to do nothing. If I disconnect my internet and press "update" button there is no percievable difference?

  I'm sure theres no firewall problem, but put exceptions in TemproSvc.exe and TemproTray.exe to be sure.

  I know that Toshiba say wait 5 days for the warranty to show registered but surely that does not mention when you click on the update button, but since time of your registration?
  Which for me was long August/September.

  Hey Buddy,

  Where to check the details of the warranty for your laptop?
  For European laptops, you can check the warranty here: http://www.toshiba-tro.de/unitdetails

  If it s are not correct, you should ask a service provider authorized in your country or contact Toshiba people under [email protected] and explain your situation.

  Good luck! :)

• Satellite A660-155 freezes and needs of startup repair or does not start

  Hello, in the middle of the month of August, I bought a satellite a660-155, PSAW0E-00U00DEN S/N 5A214647K.
  It is registered under warranty until the Aug2011.
  After less than a week, it refused to start.
  I rang support and they recommended that I use the recovery discs to restore to factory condition. I did and spent the next 3 nights reload software and my backup disk data.

  Since then he refuses sometimes to start the hard drive with a relative error that it cannot rfind and then ask which drive to boot from. If I select the hard drive, it starts later. Sometimes when running he crashes and then restarts.

  Last night, after that it had not been used for a few days, I woke up he "sleep" mode. I logged on okay, but then the blue logo 'circly' comes on, spinning away happily, and nothing else (just for logging on the text). After 30 minutes, I pressed the power button to turn off because the cell phone was totally insensitive.
  On commissioning, I got a white screen for 30 minutes, then the Startup Repair option.
  I launched it and check start lasted almost an hour and an hour, then he said, trying to repair. After a few hours, I left and went to bed. This morning, he showed the guest of logon and connected properly, as if nothing had ever happened.

  I lost confidence in Toshiba laptops, (I am responsible for computer SCIENCE) and I've never seen this problem before on a so-called quality machine. I only ise it fot simple e-mail/internet/word documents.

  All I can conclude is that there is little material defective (hard drive) that stops responding intermittently.

  I sent support at 07:00 this morning, but have not had a response.

  Can you help me? This machine needs ideally replace or repair collection, back in working condition 100% reliable. Could someone please contact me to see where I go from here?
  Under the law of consumption, you have a duty to rectify my sad situation, that the flaw exists again.

  Thank you

  Thanks for the info!
  Seems to replace the HARD drive would solve!

• Satellite A300D - FN keys and fan not detected

  Hello

  Crashed my HDD (winlogon, MBR, boot,... deleted. Just a disaster), so I have to format the drive and make new instalation of Windows. And it happened Toshiba utility installation. And I can not find the drivers for the FN key. I googled to be called "Utility Flash Cards", but only what I founded is pdf of it. And also my Everest or Notebook hardware control is none of my fans.

  So I ask, where can I find it? Or better... is a place of grand ' ol pack after the new installation of the operating system? Why my fans are not detected by the system? Maybe I just forgot to install a driver. It is quite possible. So, where is a problem?
  And... I'm just curious, y at - there a programe, utillity... etc. which can control the fans?

  I have the Satellite A300D, Windows Vista 32-bit

  Thank you very much!

  Hello

  Can on mate, you can find all the drivers and utilities on the Toshiba site:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

  You must install Toshiba Value added Package. That's all that you need for the FN keys. ;)

  But I m wondering about your question about the fan. Why do you think the fan isn't recognized? Everything about the fan will be controlled automatically. You can change only the method of cooling between performance and battery optimized in Windows power management.

• Satellite A200 - BIOS update and fan activity

  Hello..

  I have the Satellite A200-1AH (PSAE6E). I have installed the version of the BIOS 2.10 update and electric fans started working out loud. I want to install v1.30 BIOS (the best for me) but I can't find it anywhere. Can you help me please?

  I noticed that Toshiba has updated versions of BIOS 4 times in 4 months. So does that mean? I want to have the mobile rear silencer

  I guess the Toshiba engineers have changed some values in the new BIOS update and thereby you have noticed this problem of fan. I think they have a few reasons for this.

  If you want to have the old version of the BIOS, you should try to contact authorized service provider in your country. They should have.

• Satellite A660 - meter problem and the function of the power keys do not work

  Hi all

  The drop down menu that appears when I pressed on the FN key disappeared as well as when I turn of the backlit using FN + Z, light under the keyboard just turns off but the light beneath logo buttons on it near the power buttons and satellite does not turn off. How can I solve this?

  The computer displays the electric meter error and eco top near power button never lights energy saving does not work. I tried to reinstall the driver of programs/toshiba eco, but it says BIOS not supported.

  Before you try to reinstall the VAP, try to restart the Flash Cards Support utility. Utility support card Flash controls the FN keys and you can restart it in all programs-> Toshiba-> restart Flash Cards

• Satellite A660: no light and no beep touchpad keys

  Hello world

  first of all, I apologize for my English, I'm Italian.

  I am panic with my laptop, yesterday I reinstalled everything using the recovery DVD and has already had some problems with the touch buttons.

  Sometimes their light turns on, and they never do the "beep" when I touch them, work of the beep only during startup.
  Here are the main problems: I have already install the latest firmware of fingerprints buttons from Toshiba Web site.
  How can I solve it?

  Last question: the echo utility button light should be turned off when you and just be green when the echo is active, isn t it?

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  The beep occurs during startup as the POST (power self test) was transmitted correctly.
  Usually, the system beep can be changed in the BIOS in Advanced tab.
  In my case there are different levels of sound summer: Off, low, medium and high.
  In my case I put in the Middle, but even if the system beep is activated, the button multimedia don t beep. I guess they should not beep.

  With regard to the light on the button:
  It is called illumination.
  As far as I know in some cases, the BIOS contains this option and you can enable and disable the lighting in the BIOS.
  If the lighting is not available in the BIOS, check this:
  Go to the Program Files/Toshiba/TBS

  You will find the application called dimmer.
  This allows the key light.

• Satellite A660 - fan always to the strong

  Hi all

  I bought the Satellite A660-10 days and I love it so far.
  The only problem I have is the fan noise. It is always on 53% of speed even when I do not do anything.
  I wonder if this is normal because I have only an i3 with intel.

  Thank you!

  Please open the power plan you use and go into the advanced settings. Under open Toshiba option method of cooling energy saving, and then assign the value at a minimum. It should reduce the activity of fan and your laptop runs much quieter.

  I also recommend you to use the balanced power plan.
