Satellite C660 - 2d 7 continuous fan start-up and stop - is this normal?

Hello! I have a 'newbie' question, if anyone can help, I would be very grateful :)

I got a refurbished c660 - 2d 7 Currys yesterday and the fan will continue turning and stopping. Usually too much worry (it's not particularly strong or whatever it is), but as it's a refurb. and I don't know what he was returned for before, I want to make sure it's healthy! It does not warm at all, it is stone-cold to the touch and I don't do anything too tender (a couple of tabs open in google chrome and sometimes a solitaire game), but maybe that's not hot because the fan does its job, hehe! It gives a little quiet snoring then stops every few minutes, what is normal and OK?

This is my first time owning a computer windows laptop and from what I've seen other people, the fan is usually noisy or not altogether (will not compare to the MacBook since they like mini cookers and little need to operate the fan at the maximum all the time), so I wondered if he was trying to start the fan/fans maximum and default? Is there a utility on it anywhere which will check if the fans are okay? (It came with many Toshiba apps, they have not checked this yet).

If this is normal, and they do that, that's fine, I just want to fix it as soon as possible if she is sick or must replace fan/fans. Thanks for any advice you can give!

Edit: Also the hard disk is divided into two equal partitions, is it possible to cancel this easily? It seems unnecessary to have shared it this way when he uses only 8 GB for data recovery!

Hello

Yes, it's nothing unusual, that the fan continues to go if a certain level of temperature was approached.
Alternatively, you can control this behavior a little fan.

You can change the power of Win 7 to friendly State management settings battery.
In this case the CPU wouldn't create too much heat, and cooling modules would not go too often.

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite C660-1F1 has an i3 processor and I recovered from the recovery disks. A few days later, everything is very slow and the Fans are always at full speed, even at idle and there is no dust when I opened it and I replaced the thermal paste.

    Try to optimize the OS version. Check the startup options and disable all applications that you don't need.
    Make sure that all unnecessary applications do not start with the OS. Remove the system from all things, that you don't need.

  • Satellite C660-1CN - touchpad do not start with Windows

    Hello
    I have problem with Toshiba Satellite C660 - 1CN PSC0QE.

    Touchpad do not start with Windows 7 Home Premium.
    All the drivers are up to date.
    BIOS - lastest.

    After logon, I need to click on * double * "FN + F9" and after it is OK until the next reboot.

    I tried:
    several drivers of Synaptics - no change.
    Reinstall Windows - no change.
    Mini Windows XP Hiren - no work.
    Default BIOS - no change

    After that I installed 'toshiba value added package' I can't turn on the touch pad at all.

    To be honest, I never heard the show. According to specification for laptop, your laptop came with Win7 home premium 64-bit. With factory settings touchpad should be activated after the OS has started.
    I can read you have reinstalled Windows. Have you reinstalled with the original recovery image and tested with factory settings?

  • Satellite C660-1N1 - MS OFFICE 2010 starter GONE

    Hello

    Just before I return this piece of sss... to the shop, I ask you for help. I recently bought the TOSHIBA Satellite C660-1N1. I got a MS OFFICE STARTER... (Oh, it's nice, I think).

    After you install the software from the hard drive, I tried hard to use the thing for a few days. Due to some problems, I decided to uninstall it with an idea to install or reinstall once more.
    BUT I HAVE NO IDEA where the configuration file. Maybe the particion of recovery?

    Question 1: Is it possible that the installation of MS Office starter files are stored there?
    Question 2: How the hell can I enter / start / open this particion recovery?

    Please help, I'm really desperate...

    Thanks in advance.

    > Question 1: is it possible that the installation of MS Office starter files are stored there?

    Lol you can't install them separately because the MS Office starter pack is part of the image of Toshiba. The image is a package that contains the Windows operating system, a tool of Toshiba, drivers and 3rd party software as WinDVD, office, etc.
    So if you want to get that back, you need to install the image of Toshiba once again or you define the BONES to the point prior to the MS Office has been uninstalled.

    > Question 2: how the hell can I enter / start / open this particion recovery?
    Check this box:

    I also recommend the manual pre-installed.
    You will find some info about Toshiba Recovery and how to create a recovery disk which is very important in the event that something goes wrong with the HARD drive

  • Satellite C660-173 is not all start

    Hello

    I have a Satellite C660-173, the laptop was working fine yesterday, but today I tried to boot the machine and the screen is completely black, I can hear the fan turns and then after say 30 seconds, it turns off.

    Have removed the battery and pressed the button for 30 seconds and reconnected everything with the same result, we know what could be the problem?

    Thank you

    >... the screen is totally black, can hear the fan turns and then after say 30 seconds it turns off.
    It sounds pretty bad and for me definitely as corrupt BIOS. You have maybe updated BIOS or done something that may be responsible for this?

    Hello

    I think that you should first check the hardware configuration required for Google SketchUp
    http://support.Google.com/SketchUp/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=36208

    Recommended hardware
    2 + GHz processor.
    + 2 GB OF RAM.
    500 MB of available disk space.
    Class 3D graphics card with 512 + MB of memory or more. Please make sure that the video card driver supports OpenGL version 1.5 or higher and up to date.

    It could be possible that your display driver (graphics card, driver) does not contain the OpenGL and, possibly, the driver is not updated

    The driver must support OpenGL 1.5 or higher, otherwise, you will not be able to run the SketchUp.

    The unit seems to bear the graphic chip Intel HD (HM55) so you should be able to get the latest driver Intel Intel page.

  • Satellite L500 becomes too hot - fan starts at boot only!

    My Satellite L500 overheats and stops without warning. I first thought that the fan is defect because it won't start unter SP2 of Vista, but when I reboot it works then on BIOS level.

    But as soon as Vista takes over during initialization the fan stops. I tried Speedfan but it is somehow not able to start the fan. he reads only the different temperatures, the fan speed.

    I don't know, but maybe this problem occurred after I've upgraded to Vista SP 2 two months ago who was not released by Toshiba. It seems that this will happen by Toshiba more but that's another question.

    The laptop is almost 2 years and come with Vista SP1.
    The only thing on the side of software is always upgrading the BIOS, there seems to be a newer version of May 2011.

    I cleaned the intake with a vacuum cleaner, but the main problem is probably not dust, but the fan does not start. Someone an idea how I can start? Can be a software or a setting somewhere in Windows?

    > I don't know but maybe this problem occurred after I've upgraded to Vista SP 2 two months ago who was not released by Toshiba. It seems that this will happen by Toshiba more but that's another question.

    Are you talking about Vista Service Pack 2?
    Service Packs for Windows operating systems are released by Microsoft and not the laptop manufacturers. ;) Release of the laptop manufacturers only the drivers own for portable devices unique ;)

    > The only thing on the side of software is always upgrading the BIOS, there seems to be a newer version of May 2011.
    So you would update of the BIOS?
    If not try this

    What the installation of Win 7? Have you checked if the fans would be running using Win 7 on this laptop? I think it's a test

  • Satellite Pro U series: the fan starts to operate - the computer doesn't

    I had this problem since the computer was new (1 year now), and it has increased. Now I can work the internet on the computer, an hour before shutting down the computer - it is too hot. If I don't use products of word or office without being online, it's OK I tried to shut down unused application, it helps a little but not a lot. What can I do?

    Have you tried to clean the fans with a jet of compressed air?
    Many users recommend this tool for the cleaning of the fan, and it looks like it works very well.

    I think dust and debris inside the laptop to prevent fans turn properly and cooling the temperature rises and this leads to an overheating problem

    But if this doesn t help get rid of the problem of overheating then the ASP may be a last resort.

  • Satellite C660 - 1 M 0 encountered a problem and needs to restart

    Hello
    Today, when I turned on my laptop before it starts, I get a blue screen says:
    Your computer has encountered a problem and needs to restart. Collection of information.

    What is this problem for?
    My laptop is TOSHIBA Satellite C660 - 1 M 0 i3

    Is this a Windows problem?

    Here is a message I received in Windows7forums on this subject but I don't understand what he means, can understand you for me please? e

    * Re: Heeelp! Your computer ran into a problem! *

    These screens generally include a sentence in the screen "fallen on problems." Usually something like Violation of Watchdog DPC (Deferred procedural call) and are often associated with a bad driver and or a power saving state not supported (sleep, hybrid sleep, hibernate, etc.,)

    First of all, make sure that you have the latest drivers from your computer manufacturer and or the individual device manufacturer's Web site. Then consider whether this computer manufacturer includes any software that may be incompatible with Windows 8 CP or is somehow patented conflict with Windows 8 CP in energy saving power scheme options. You may need to experiment a little, maybe remove the proprietary tools or taste affecting your schema of high performance or even the options down or max.

    The overview of consumption is more or less a new frontier for everyone here to work through this kind of problem is going to be informative and beneficial for all who read your thread, so please keep us posted as to how you are progressing with your current number.

    Hello

    Blue screen of death (BSOD) may be caused by software or hardware problems.
    To know if it of really a software problem, you can try running a HARD drive recovery procedure which would fix the laptop back to factory settings.

    What is an option for you?

  • Satellite C660-10 d - get my old printer and scanner to work

    I would like to ask advice on how to get my HP 1020 Laserprinter and HP G2710 Scanner to work with my Toshiba Satellite C660 Windows 7 (Home Premium) 64-bit respectively?

    The software of the printer (pilot) is not installed correctly while the Scanner does not charge same atal. I hope that it is ethical to mention other products on the forum of the society. Otherwise, my apologies.

    Hello

    I put t think that the problem is related to Toshiba

    If your printer and scanner are old enough, I could imagine you don t get the drivers for Windows 7. You should check this page: P directly if the Windows 7 drivers are available or not.

    If Yes, download and install it, it s the same as on other laptops and computers. If no driver available devices are not compatible with Windows 7.

  • S2: fan runs fast and stops and runs quickly and stops

    See also: I have exactly the same problem, very annoying with the fan and already had bios updated by our support team. The S1 fan is running at a constant speed. How can I do the fan of the S2 to ride at a constant speed.

    Toshiba has a solution?

    I just got my (used to have a S1) S2, but the fan is very noisy. It is noisy it is even annoying me during labor.

    I updated the driver in power saving mode and the power to register the software. But the sound remains.

    The fan also seems to operate continuously at full speed. Especially when loading the batteries upwards again.

    In battery mode
    In battery mode the fan starts, goes to high speed, stops for a short period, starts, going at high speed, stops for a shotr then that implemented site, etc etc this cycle is repeated over and over again. Very annoying.

    Why as with the S1 series where the fan seems to work constantly but that at low speed if you do not hear it.

    Mode full power
    The fan only is in battery mode back regularly at top and goes down to reduce speed also with regular periods. Why not let the fan turns at average speed?
    And as written above when the battery GET fans continue to run at high speed noisy!

    Is there an update of the material of possibel with a fan with less noise? Maybe by any other type of fan.

    I think to go back to my S1 and sell this S2 as it is very boring school work.

    Hello Jan

    I understand you very well. I use Tecra M2 and it is very interesting that in my case, the cooling fan runs periodically at the level of the low speed and if I work in the Office I can hear any.

    On your device, hot air comes out on the left side, and in my opinion it is a little stronger than on the units that have this placed at the rear. Unfortunately I can't tell you anything about replacing cooling ventilation. In this case, you can try to test all options in the power management (cooling method and the performance of the processor). I put t know if the BIOS update can help, but you can try it. Finally, try to remove the tool, restart the device and check how it works without this tool.

    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.

    Believe me, it is really not easy to say what is happening with this laptop. as a first step, you can try to start Notepad using F8 and enter safe mode.

    If these will be works, start System Restore utility and attempt to restore the operating system on time earlier. Perhaps one day before all this began. I hope that you will be able to use it again as before.
