Satellite C660 suddnely stops

I have a C660 which is around the age of 18 months, and I had some problems with it since I got it.

However, over the past month, she started closing while playing some games like Minecraft, little Inferno and worms.

I'm sure it's because she is overheating, but I don't know why he started to do this, because I have had no problems to run Minecraft until recently.

Any suggestions on what I can do?

High temperature appears because for computer cooling fans portable s don t work as it should.
Above all it s a problem due to the dust and debris from the dust is preventing fans turn faster and this leads to high temperatures.

Good solution might be for fans of cleaning
I did that several times in the past by using the jet of compressed air.
Generally, this is good enough to get rid of the dust and helps to maintain the low temperature level.

  • Satellite C660 Wireless stopped since the update of the BIOS 1.4

    In fact, there is a thread on this same topic closed. But I would like to add something.

    My Satellite C660 is dual-boot. I have Ubuntu installed as well as Windows 7. Now, at the moment that I stupidly updated the bios to 1.4 the wireless doesn't work under windows. But he continued to work under Ubuntu.

    So, I know that the material has not broken suddenly. It is clearly a serious error in the bios update provided by Toshiba and must be fixed immediately.

    One kind may explain how to restore the previous bios. I know it was recorded somewhere because I saw what happens during the update process.

    See you soon!

  • My Satellite C660 has stopped playing DVDs

    My satellite c 660 suddenly stopped reading DVDs and CDs of pc games. Audio CD are no problem.
    But when I try if the driver is ok it says that everything is working propperly.

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here, but theoretically it may be hardware issue. Position of the goal for playback of DVD is different regarding the CD so maybe that may not be properly calibrated.

    Test it with original DVDs or DVDs of data to see if the problem persists. If so, I'm afraid, you must exchange the m's optical disc drive.

  • Re: Satellite C660 - Sound stopped working

    Can you please tell us what operating system do you use?

  • Satellite C660-1ZN stops after 30 minutes

    > I know is not that it is a new laptop from dust. Should we do this?

    Laptop overheating not even if some strong performance running applications or everything at stake.
    You use the preinstalled Toshiba system?

    You should test the laptop with system preinstalled Toshiba and published by Toshiba display driver.
    The driver can be downloaded from the European pilot of Toshiba page!

    Remember that this driver is already installed, because this driver supports the GPU overheating protection. This keeps the temperature low and decrease the performance if the temperature rises.

    This is necessary because the laptop cooling modules are smaller than the cooling modules in desktop computers.

  • Re: Satellite C660 - fan starts then stops

    Hello

    Sorry for my English, I'm French, I have a Toshiba Satellite C660 laptop a few days ago and I noticed that the fan starts and stops every minute at any time when the temperature exceeds about 40 degrees (noted with SpeedFan).
    Even if I'm just the desktop, the Internet. However, it does not heat up much. Is this normal?

    Before I had a laptop and the fan stops, but almost never had low-noise. I prefer it, but it's can be a simple matter of habit for the Toshiba...?

    Hello

    Try it please change cooling method option in the advanced power settings.

    Open power options > n a click your power profile that you use > choose the advanced power options > Toshiba Power Saver Settings > cooling method > change two optimized battery options.

    I think that this will reduce fan activity.

    Please test and send feedback.

  • Satellite C660 - my mousepad stopped working

    I was me satellite c660 today when the buttons of the mouse pad and the left and right hand just stopped workin...

    Then to control the mouse and Panel options and they say the software that manages the carpet mouse everything is perfect, but it is obviously not.

    Can someone help me? :(

    Hello

    First check to see if the touch pad is not disabled.
    You can enable and disable the touchpad through FN + F9.

    If this is not enough, I recommend updating the driver for the touchpad.
    Uninstall the driver for the touchpad, first, reboot the laptop and then install the new touchpad driver downloaded.

    Good luck

  • Satellite C660 - the mouse pointer stops working when you start program

    Some features:
    Toshiba Satellite C660-1r1
    Windows 7 sp1
    Avast Antivirus (free version)

    Problem:
    When I start a program (for example. Sonos controller) on my laptop my mouse pointer stops working. It does not happen with all programs! When I go into Device Manager, my synaptic touchpad and my hid mouse is working also. When I press ctrl - alt - del, the pointer can move again, but when I come back it stops again. I have a work around is not a solution

    When I disconnect my windows account and log in again, it will solve the problem. When I start a program again the pointer will freeze up again.
    I did a complete system of virusscan and a pre start virusscan and my laptop is virus-free.
    I uninstalled the mouse and in drivers reinstalled synaptics them but that has not worked. I added a new account windows but that did not work.
    By pressing the keycombo FN + F9 has no effect.
    I am somehow at the end of my ideas...

    Can anyone help!

    When I start a program (for example. Sonos controller) on my laptop my mouse pointer stops working. It does not happen with all programs!

    This problem happens using the touchpad only or have you noticed the freezing of cursor using the external USB mouse too?

    What is the notebooks touchpad works properly without loading and using this 3rd party software?
    For example, work the touchpad with Microsoft office (Word, Excel, etc.) or navigation in internet by using IE or Chrome?

    My guess is that the pre-installed 3rd application part could affect the functionality of the touchpad.

    Hello

    I think that the laptop stops because of the high temperature.
    It would happen to prevent parts of material damage.

    Clean the ventilation openings in the past?
    To do this using a jet of compressed air, it's the right tool to make the dust removed.

    I did that several times, it helps to keep good air circulation.

    PS: If you have hardware problems with your Toshiba devices, the first person to contact is the Toshiba authorized service partner in your country

  • Satellite C660-1NX freezes while stop after a new install of Win 7

    Hello!

    The first sorry for my English, I'm Spanish and use a translator.

    I have a Satellite C660-1NX (PSC1LE-00F00NCE), I had to reformat the computer, put on a clean Windows 7 64 x (no recovery) with all the original drivers giving the official page of Toshiba.

    Everything seems perfect, but when turn off the computer is frozen, I thought it was x 64 and x 86 and install the same, straight day, then started the same problem, eh update of the BIOS, as used before formatting it didn't happen, it's very weird.

    I find that the reason for the problem never happened to any computer that.

    Best regards

    and what happen when you install the system using the recovery disk?
    The laptop is too cold?

    I doubt that someone will be able to say why the unit does not close properly.
    First of all, I think its necessary to find out if its hardware or software problem.

    In the case where its software related issue, the recovery disc that contains the image of configured Toshiba should fix this annoying problem.
