Satellite L - overheating and shutdown

Hello

My sons laptop has developed a recurring problem. The fan seems to go into overdrive then just laptop cuts out - it does not work, stop - he just turns off. He tried to tilt the laptop so that air can circulate down but it makes no difference.

You can imagine how irritating it is for a child of eleven years!

Hello

You wrote that your laptop is already a year old, so you cleaned the laptop yet? So I can recommend jet of compressed air that can blow in the form of dust from the cooling fans.
Here is a good description on this procedure:

Can you also tell us what phone do you have?
What display driver is installed at present?

  • Satellite A300D - overheating and shutdown

    Hello

    I have a problem with my 3 month old Toshiba Satellite A300D-126. Any time I play a game like Call of Duty 4 or Warcraft after like 15-20 min, the left side of the laptop where the cooler is placed, it is overheating, almost too hot to the touch, and finally the laptop stops.

    I have to mention the fact that, recently, I installed XP (all the drivers downloaded from the Toshiba site), but I somewhat had the same problems on Vista also.

    I downloaded MobileMeter, and temperatures have shown here I think that they are not normal:
    Temp - HDD-35-36 degrees C and 80-85 C (when I m only not with the games, so I think that during the Games time. significantly increase)

    Is it possible that the cooler can deal with games, and it is dusty? If so, how do I to clean?

    Allows any kind of response,

    Thank you

    Hello

    I play call of Duty 4 on Satellite A300-1LI and so far everything is fine. Okay that's the different hardware platform, but I still believe that there should be no difference.

    I think CPU temperature is perhaps greater than usual but, in my opinion, not the critical level. The normal temperature of the hard drive and the same as on my Satellite A300.
    I don't know how you use your laptop, but it is the new model of laptop and I don't think that there is so much dust inside. If the laptop is placed on the desk, try putting back on two CD boxes and place it on the top position. Reduce graphics settings in the game and check again.

    Is the method of cooling energy savings of Toshiba to the maximum level?

  • My Satellite keeps overheating and turning off

    My laptop satellite keeps overheating and stopping when doing hard CPU work. The thing is if I open power management and keep the reset of the method of cooling performance max speed up the fan and it cools.

    It does not seem to adjust the speed of the fan if left only you I have to keep changing it and in a minute or two, it slows down again and then have to change once again at the speed of the fan to the top.

    I have a computer laptop satellite C660 and in recent weeks it has been overheating and switching of. The fan and the heat sink is free of dirt and I bought and installed a new processor, but the problem persists. Actually the only way I can get the machine to run must go into the BIOS and run it in a slower mode which is unacceptable for a normal performance. I think I may have one problem material but another CPU change don't know what to try next.

    Hello
    do you have a thermal past when you installed the new processor?
    No idea on this model but have you check if any other component (for example the video gpu) add thermal paste on him?
    You use the laptop on a solid surface to allow the bottom of the laptop breathe properly for better cooling?
    I know some pretty stupid questions, but is just a double check.

  • New Dell XPS 8700 overheating and shutdown itself

    I bought my new XPS 8700 4 days there and that's the first problem, my pc is overheating and I don't know why, I have it on my desk so no dust can damage as it have enough space around fans.

    The problem is that the pc is overheating even when I do nothing, its just to put on a few sites and after some while pc crashes: the screen goes all black. The last time it happened I had the only song on YouTube and I was typing on Facebook, when suddenly the screen goes black and pc closed down, ive checked CPUID HWMonitor where I discovered that my graphics card is approximately 70-85 ° C.

    Second crash is almost the same as the first, but with this difference that the pc remains powered on and just monitor the message "entering power saving mode" and can not be awake so I have to hold the start for 10 sec button to restart my PC. Im a little scared because I am sure that it will not be caused by any software just because the computer is 4 days old and I has not yet opened the case (im not sure if I can just because of the warranty)... What should I do? It is necessary to call Dell technical support or I can solve it it somehow better?

    My PC specs:

    Intel Core i7 4770 Haswell, 16 GB RAM, AMD Radeon R9 270 2 GB, SSD 32 GB + drive HARD 2000 GB 7.2 k, 8.1 Windows Pro 64 - bit

    Sorry to hear that!

    If it is only a few days old, contact Dell Tech Support as soon as POSSIBLE. In the United States, you have 21 days from the date of billing (no delivery date) to request a replacement. Then contact them immediately if you want to have it replaced. Otherwise, arrange for Dell fix this one, if all goes well in your premises...

    BTW: Open the case do not void the warranty.  But if you replace all of the equipment installed at the factory, Dell may ask you to reinstall the original parts, before they honor the warranty.

    I hope that get you it fixed quickly!

    Hello

    It sounds like this dust is in the heat sink and your laptop should be cleaned using the jet of compressed air. This could blow out the dust from the cooling fans. You can get air to each computer dealer normally stream.
    Check this box!

    I clean my cell phone every 3-4 months and I m always asked how much dust out. I think that s important to clean but it only takes a few minutes. :)

  • Satellite A60 - overheating and decommissioning

    Hello

    As "[email protected]", I have similar problems with my Satellite A60.

    After about 10 minutes of normal use on a hard, flat surface, the laptop starts to become very hot and turns off (obviously overheating). He started only when working with heavy editing workload, but is now it does all the time.

    Is this a common fault with the A60? I've had mine for a little more than 12 months and had no probems, and now all of a sudden I can barely use the thing! (of course, it's just out of warranty)

    Any suggestions would be very appreciated,

    Thank you very much

    Mike

    Hi Mike,.

    That strangely resembles the typical issue of overheating that can infest the laptop users. Laptops use a metal matrix (similar to a car radiator) cooling to dissipate heat from the CPU when using, and if the airway through the matrix of the clogging of dust and debris, then a thermal trigger will be used to turn off the power to the laptop.

    Air suction fans act like small vacuum cleaners and pull ambient air dust in the matrix where it gradually accumulates and blocks the air flow.

    Try to use a hose of vacuum cleaner against the aspiration air grills to pick the accumulated debris. I do this with my laptop on a monthly basis.

    Kind regards

  • Tecra A7 - overheating and shutdown

    Hello

    I've had Tecra A7 for a few months now. Whenever I try to play a game, the left side of my laptop gets hot. So hot that I can not put my hand it over.

    Because almost all games require that you use the WASD keys to move around, it's very annoying. In addition to that my laptop decides he has shut down due to overheating very frequently. I cleaned all fan openings with compressed air, but it does not matter. Whenever the left would become hot.

    This allows me to play about 20 minutes and then it stops and I have to wait that he freshen up. I have a Tecra A7 with a battery PA3399U-2BRS I looked up so special that the battery was the cause of the problem. According to the utility, my battery is not eligible for the battery replacement program.

    Now, I try to find out why he gets so hot until he must stop in order to avoid the laptop burst flames probably.

    Hello

    Can I ask you how you use the laptop? Please make sure that the fans are free and that there is enough free space around the laptop!

    It s not uncommon as the cell temperature increases during the paid game.
    In such situation, all devices (CPU and GPU) run with maximum efficiency and produce more heat as usual.
    It is very important that all the fans are free

    What graphics card driver do you use? Graphics drivers from Toshiba are slightly modified and support a protection against overheating.
    If the GPU temperature will rise to a higher level, the graphics driver decreases the performance of the GPU and the temperature drops!
    So, it is advisable to use the graphics drivers Toshiba.

    But sometimes the overheating could occur due to improper functioning of the cooling module.
    In this case, the laptop must be verified by a service provider authorized in your country!

  • Satellite A665 - overheating and speedfan time

    so my laptop is a toshiba a665-06f (Canadian model) which I bought from future shop, here is a link to the plug to laptop
    http://209.167.114.38/support/TechSupport/productcontents/satellite/PSAW3C-06F017.htm

    Since I bought the thing it's always hot, sometimes it would be closed at random (what I know now because it was over heating) didn't think much of him, but then when some games would drop fps unplayable rates I look a little closer and ran a few tests of temperature and I've been extremely surprised/worried to what I saw. I also used a laptop cooler that has 2 fans on the subject, but which does practically nothing. I'll post photos of Speedfan so that you guys can see what I'm talking about

    This first picture is about 2 minutes after that the laptop started well, it's a start-up costs and no program running (the laptop had been sitting off the coast during the night)

    on this picture you can see that after 5 minutes with nothing else that speedfan run times have exceded 50 ° C

    in the past only through normal conditions of use and the games, I saw temperatures between 90 c + and so I decided to perform a stress test and of course the time broke 90 c, I used the first 95 the stress tester. picture 1 is about 30 seconds in the test, photo 2 is after 10 minutes and photo 3 is a chart showing the increase in temperature and fluctuations over time



    This has been a problem since I bought this thing about 6 months ago, I have since updated the bios and all drivers for current versions and nothing did, im starting to wish I never bought this because these temperatures cannot be set, the processor will underclock itself .9ghz I saw it several times and most of the games became unplayable even with the smaller settings.

    If you think you have a solution please help im all ears, I don't even really this notebook, I saw the temp over 100 ° c before and I can not take any where without the cooler, might as well be a desktop computer, I wish I could get a refund even

    As I see see you as a serious matter, so in my opinion, you should contact Toshiba service provider at the nearest Canada and ask for help.

    It's OK to discuss this topic on the forum but you can read here are opinions or advice how to change some of the parameters of power. I doubt that this will help you contact Toshiba and ask what you can do about it.

  • Qosmio X 500-overheating and shutdown

    Hello

    I have a Qosmio X 500-10T - which I have been in love with for the past 12 months (Yes, just out of warranty!). As with a disturbing number of posts here he suddenly decided to close during execution of any type of graphics.

    Read the other posts, it seems that the main reason is overheating (maybe a cleanup option)-my question is... why the fans are not running at full blast? According to the health check tool, the cpu temperature is only about 60% and the fans are running may at about 60-70% max. They make very little noise compared to what they were.

    Both fans are running, but seem not to be running at the right speed to generate heat. (if that is what is originally shut down - can't think anything else)

    Anyone got any ideas? The problem started literally just the last 24 hours and I did no changes to the bios/drivers before the problem.

    Any help would be appreciated. Will get on the phone Monday morning to the Toshiba support and will report back if I can't find a solution before.

    Rich

    Please let us know what Toshiba is going to say about it.

  • Satellite A300 - overheating and sudden death

    Hey there! So the problem with the sudden closing of my laptop has bothered me for the last 6 months. I did not understand why it happened. But now, I think I can.

    As soon as I start watching movies or high quality youtube and if I do this as 20 minutes, the laptop can crush! Only, it gets really hot, and there is nothing I can do about it. However, if I put a fan beside her, she will continue to work normally. Otherwise > overheat and BOOM! : D

    Is this a known issue? Is it the same for other portable series? Thank you.

  • Satellite Pro M10 overheating and the fan runs loud

    I have a Satellite Pro M10 and when it is the fan on the power grid comes shortly after the start and makes a horrible noise - this has only started happening recently. I tried spraying compressed air (dust) to the air outlet and still have the same problem.

    Other postings say to clean the fan, but I don't know how to access it. I'm worried about overheating problems I work in Africa much of the time and the laptop is subject to hot temperatures.

    Hi Hannah,

    The easy way to clear the dust and debris from the cooling system is to use a vacuum cleaner hose placed on the admission air grids that are usually in the bottom of the laptop (covered by a grid). For maximum effect, I usually place a rag around the pipe to maximize the flow of air through the fans.

    This causes air suction through the radiator CPU the wrong way and ensures that all debris are not pulled into the heatsink, but are removed by fans. You can see a ball of down under the grates that you need to try to clear little by little.

    This technique will not void your warranty since no disassembly of the unit is necessary.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite Pro A60 - is overheating and shuts

    Hello

    I have a problem with my A60. I start and everything goes OK. I put in a temporary monitoring software because it works for awhile and then just stop. What I see happening now, is that it will heat up to 65 then the fan comes on and at 55 it stops. This can happen a few times, and then he forgets turn on the fan. After that he climbs slowly until she happens to 85 when he cuts. I bought a stand 3 fans and now it stays on as long as when it goes on the fan circuit anointed, gets it to 77-80 and stays on. The problem is if I USE then overheating and stop again.

    What control actually (and fails to start) the fan cut in the process. This part of the function of the BIOS? Updated BIOS ver 1.7 to ver 1.9 will make a difference? I'm afraid that this update will not end before overhearting and I'll be left with an unusable machine.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you.

    >.. .a finds a way to fix it properly.
    This type of hardware components are not fixed but replaced so if you think that the cooling fan is defective exchange it.

    One more thing, the vacuum cleaner is OK, but you can't wait to clean up your laptop to look like new. I disassembled my Satellite M70 and was surprised how much dust was inside.
    Just after the withdrawal of the ventilation openings, I was able to clean it properly.

  • Satellite A210-19Y and overheating

    Hello!

    I had a problem with my Satellite A210 overheating for about 4 hours after I bought it. Of course, I went straight up to the place where I bought it, but they just said it was a problem laptop normal when having an AMD processor and advised that I bought an external cooler. However, the thing is that my previous 3 laptops had all AMD processors, and each of them are always works very well, even if they are aged 3 to 7 years and none of them are overheating, even if I let them run very long (like 24 hours +).

    So my question is, is it really true, I want to buy an external cooler to be able to actually use my laptop? Should not be able to run without needing "help"? Furthermore, I use only my numere on flat tables respectively to school and my home office.

    Sorry if my English is hard to understand, it isn't my mother tongue ;)

    P.S. I installed PC-Wizard to check the temperature, and 3 minutes after the start, he spends 60 ^ o ^ C and stays on that, even if the cooler is running like crazy.

    You should not need an external cooler, laptop is designed to work properly with its factory specifications.

    You should try this:

    (1) an update of the BIOS. Go to the Toshiba website and download the latest version of the BIOS.
    (2) check the dust in the radiator. You can blow off the dust with a can of compressed air
