Satellite C660-108 - fan keeps running

I just bought a Satellite C660-108 and pleasure keeps running all the time. Is this normal?

Hi Judith_2,

If your laptop computer is in idle mode, it isn't normal that the fan still works. Normally it should start and stop as on other models.
But if you run some background applications such as Internet browser, Antivirus, etc., it may be normal because the CPU causes a lot of heat and it must be cooled to protect it from damage.

Anyway, you can try to change the cooling method in Windows power management. You can choose between a maximum Performance and battery optimized. If you want to reduce, change the value of the latter.
I confirm there is really a difference between the methods of cooling and optimized battery is much quieter.

  • Satellite C660-108 disables unsuspected rotation fan while rose

    Hello

    I so laptop Toshiba Satellite C660-108 series.
    I don't really know what to do, laptop turns off by itself at any time, the fan starts to spin very strong and fair, he stops, when I try to turn it on again same thing occurs, time is random, sometimes it turns on for 10 seconds, sometimes for hours... Please help technicians in my town don't know what to do...

    Thank you
    Karolis.

    I m wondering really that technicians can not help you with this. I mean if they can that help can we do on this virtual path where we can only speculate what may be the problem.
    Did you contact Toshiba service provider or an independent PC company?

    Problem is that we do not know if your laptop turns off due to high temperatures and overheating of the CPU or there is another reason. At least what you can do about it? Nothing. All you can do is buy compressed air and try to clean it. What else can you do?

    What confuses me, is the fact that your laptop turns off after 10 seconds. This must be studied.

  • Satellite C660-108 does not start if the USB Bluetooth dongle connected

    Hiya,

    I hope you could help me.

    I'm having a problem with my dongle bluetooth and satellite c660-108.
    It all works perfectly. It connects devices via bluetooth and I can do whatever I want.

    But then when I'm mobile stop and turn it on again it will go if the bluetooth dongle is always in the USB.

    I see Toshiba screen and then it hangs with a black screen and a cursor flashing at the top left.
    I have to turn it off, remove the bluetooth dongle and then turn it back on.
    And then windows starts. After that, I put in bluetooth dongle, once again I want to work with her.

    It isn't a huge problem, but it is a bit annoying when I have to leave the bluetooth and put it back again to get the windows began.
    I'm running under win 8.1 but he already had with 8 victory.

    Anyone any ideas?

    > I see Toshiba screen and then it hangs with a black screen and a cursor flashing at the top left.
    Especially the blinking cursor is displayed because the laptop can not find a boot device.

    It seems that the device cannot put on the HARD drive while the USB dongle is connected.
    I would recommend you check the boot order in the BIOS.

    Put the HARD drive in the first place and the USB boot last device.
    Save changes and check if it helps.

  • Satellite C660-108 - Windows XP Home Edition does not install

    I try to install Windows XP Home Edition on a Toshiba Satellite C660-108, without success.

    I changed the BIOS disk in "Compatibility" mode (what is the same thing as "Legacy IDE"?) by following the instructions on a Yahoo Answers question on the same issue.

    What has improved the situation, in what I now get an error message a few minutes after installing XP said "Starting Windows" instead of immediately after. The error message is the same that I have already received and is as follows:

    "A problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer...". "Technical information: * STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF78D663C, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000).

    Thanks in advance for any help,

    Luke

    PS - I'm a mac user and do not have much experience in the use of Windows laptops, so I need instructions spelled out clearly enough if possible.

    The error could be related to drive HARD and the setting in the BIOS of the controller...
    Probably, you need to install Win XP using SATA AHCI mode and to add the driver SATA as described here:

    Hey Buddy,

    As you can read in many other threads, you must update the BIOS to get rid of this problem.

    Toshiba has already published an article on what you need to do:

  • Satellite C660-108 - Wireless does not work

    Hey everybody,

    New to the forum, I had to sign up because of a problem with shame. I would like to apologize in advance because I know nothing about how computers work.

    I have a toshiba satellite c660-108, windows 7 OS. Yesterday I was updating it and I used it very well after that I restarted. He stops and went to bed. Today, I turned on and he did a system restore, don't know why. So all went through and then it wouldn't connect to the internet wireless, only ethernet cable (http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=69127&tstart=0 - same problem as far as I can tell).

    I'm in the middle of my diploma thesis and word does not work now, so I did a full factory restore hoping everything would be ok. This isn't.

    Ive tried to download the driver toshiba wireless, just didn't work. It currently downloads Realtek but I'm sure it won't work either.

    How to get another wireless network card?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    The essential is that you it works again.
    So congratulations. :)

  • Battery won't charge on Satellite C660-108

    I just bought a new C660-108 Satellite as a Christmas gift. The laptop worked fine for a while but then I noticed that the start of Windows 7 icon said that the battery was not supported (even if it has been inserted correctly, the two sliders were in the correct position, the power cable is plugged in and turned on). Of course, when the battery ran down the computer died.

    Current situation is that the computer will work very well with the feeder so the removal of the battery (now deceased), but it will not turn on with the battery inserted (if the power cable is plugged or not).

    Is this a problem with the battery or laptop?

    Before start us discussion please try this.
    Remove the battery, start your laptop on mains only and when the operating system is fully loaded, put the battery in place.

    Please let us know if the battery is properly recognized and that recharge the battery will start as usual.

  • Satellite C660 - wave fan constantly BIOS problem

    I have a Satellite C660, PSC0LE submodel.

    The fan (CPU) is constantly growing and turn off every minute or so. He is strong and extremely intrusive / boring. It is occurs regardless of the load / CPU temperature. I have seen references to this topic, and some people have suggested that a BIOS update to fix it.

    I updated my machine to the latest version available (1.40), but it is not fixed.

    I see that this (PSC0LE) submodel has not later than some of the other variants (there is a version 1.8 for some other submodels C660) an update of the BIOS and I think the fan problem is solved in that.

    Toshiba intends to solve this problem on the PSC0LE via a new BIOS, or y at - it another way to stop what is really distracting.

    TIA,
    Dan

    Please try to reduce the speed of the cooling fan change advanced power options > Toshiba power Saver saver > cooling method.

    For normal use I recommend to use the balanced feeding and management game, cooling method to lower the level. It should reduce the activity of fan cooling.

    Hello

    I use my Satellite C660 - 1 7 for a year now, and recently I have a Wi - Fi connection problem with my laptop. I can find the network in my laptop, but it loses the connection permanently. It's a little boring.

    Then I tried to update the BIOS update, but each time, he showed "there is an error occurred, please check below the elements." BIOS version more than 200. battery capacity more than 10%. AC is fixed. "Well, I checked, and it is" TOSHIBA 1.40, 2011/1/21 '. "

    Can someone help me please?

  • Re: Satellite C660 - cooling fan work with a bang

    Hello

    Recently my computer laptop cooling fan started running continuously with a loud noise. When the screen is idle, it stops for a few seconds and start again. I changed the power balance in the Panel options, but it did not work. Even the BIOS is the most recent. Referring to discussion forums, I've changed to "selective startup" thru "msconfig" but nothing worked.

    He is 8 months old. The noise is very disturbing. Can someone please help me with this?

    Thank you very much
    Sammy

    Hey Buddy,

    > Referring to discussion forums, I've changed to "selective startup" thru "msconfig".
    I never heard of something like that

    Have you already tested it with cooling optimized battery method? Profile of balanced diet also uses maximum performance for cooling must change the power profile and choose the battery optimized for each profile on the battery and the AC adapter power / cooling CC. Information on all power plan options, you can find here:

    You wrote that your laptop is already 8 months old. You clean in the past?

  • Satellite C660-108 - no internet connection automatic

    I bought a laptop replacement last weekend - a Toshiba C660 - 108 - that gives me a problem.

    I can't the computer to connect automatically to the internet router (Orange) because it is unable to connect at the start even if the network is always visible. Then, I need to go upstairs to the router, press the wifi button, and then I can connect. It works fine until it or I lose connection or switch off when I find once again to repeat the process.

    We have three other Toshiba laptops in the House who all work with happiness and automatically.

    Tried to connect with virus protection disabled and no conflict there is different I think.

    Have checked that I have the latest version of the driver and that it.

    Have noticed however, that when I put them to the top of the list of networks available in the range, my connection doesn't have a checkbox "Allow to automatically connect" while others do. I checked all properties and the boxes are checked to allow the automatic connection.

    When I use my laptop at work it connects to the network automatically without any problem (the work is a router BTConnect).

    Spent the week looking for a solution for this on the forums and would be required, if someone can tell me what to do to allow an automatic connection.

  • Satellite P30-141 - fan constantly running

    Laptop for a few years now and can't remember but don't fan run always.
    Its really irritating.

    The fan is not at full speed but runs of course.
    Power settings do not seem to help.

    Your thoughts.

    Well, what to say. The fan should run continuously to cool the internal devices like CPU and GPU.

    But a question; have you tried to change the settings in the Toshiba Power saver?
    I mean in particular the method of cooling, CPU control method and CPU processing speed settings.

    Please check everything first.

    If it doesn't help then I think that there is not much to do because the BIOS to control the rotation of the fan, and this cannot be changed.

    By the way; did you check if the fans are free and that the air circulates properly?
    Check it!

  • Satellite U200 fan keeps running

    Hello
    I've had my u200 for a few months now, but there seems to be a problem with my fan.

    No matter what I do with my laptop (install Xp, Vista, Linux, NHC, Toshiba power utility, last version of the bios, change each setting on that you can imagine, defining an external fan blowing directly on my cell phone and so on...) the internal fan from my laptop never stop spinning, and my room is far from warm.

    I know at least 3 people with cell phone exact same and none of them has this problem, their fan just turns off whenever they do not any of the CPU intensive job.

    This may seem pretty insignificant at first, but it's really me turning crazy while I write long pages of text or watch a movie on my laptop.

    Anyone here have an idea on how to fix this, or should I just send my laptop to Toshiba for warranty?

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    have you tried to clean your cooling system? If it is already done, try dusting her because a cooling system of dust-clobbed
    can slow a machine to the ground and you won´t be able to run your machine correctly.

    Just clean it up, or bring the machine to a local servicepartner for cleaning. Just a suggestion ;)
