Satellite L300 and high temperature - is this normal?

Greetings

I just bought a Toshiba Satellite L300 - 11 (Intel celeron 550), I\m kind new to laptops, and I realize it's too hot. I used the CPUID hardware monitor software, and it shows that:
-ACPI THRM temperatures going as high as 63c (145f)
-the processor is going up to 65 c (148f)
-the HARD disk goes up to 45 c (112f)

My questions are: is this normal for a laptop to reach these temperatures? I mean the touchpad and the area around it is annoyingly hot all the time (especially in the summer time where its already hot weather)
Other models or brands have similar temperatures?

And is it a Toshiba tool to monitor temperatures, rather than using third-party software?

Thanks for any help.

I don't know much about the temperature of the Celeron processor.

My Toshiba L300 came with Hitachi 120 GB HDD, CPU T2370 upgraded to T7100:
-HDD: max: 45 (watching ripped DVD on hard disk), 30 min (surf the internet, play warcraft III), average: 38 (using Microsoft, Photoshop and programming tools)
-CPU: 43 to 57, penalty going up to 63.
-ACPI: Min: Max: 43: 56

Hope that these figures will give you some tips.

    Hello

    just bought a toshiba satellite A205-s4707 notebook PC series and my problem is that my touch pad becomes heat when I use to a few ours.
    Is - this normal, also my drive hard temperature reaches 135 degrees fahrenheit.

    If you can help me with my problem will appreciate

    HM, I Don t think it's a problem because your machine is not working properly, doesn´t it?

    I mean, you really have a system very powerful which is packaged in a minimum of size.

    Please compare your machine with a desktop computer and you will recognize that you have some cooling devices well less than a desktop computer with a similar performance. So, Don t worry, it's normal that a laptop gets a little warmer.

    If something begins to melt, then it s critical. :) But sometimes won´t. ;)

  • Satellite L300-AM stops - temperature goes up to 72 c

    Hello

    I bought the Toshiba Satellite L300-AM in December.

    Now I have a big problems with temperature. It's going to 72 c...
    And my laptop is blocking on itself.

    What can be the problem? And what do I do?

    Thank you

    Hello

    In my opinion the laptop stops due to high internal temperature.
    Internal sensors watch the temperature and if it would rise to a higher level while the laptop stops to prevent the equipment from damage.

    In most cases, the temperature increases because the internal cooling modules can not cool the CPU correctly.
    The main reason for this is a piece of debris and dust!

    I had this question several times on my cell phone 6 years old. After some time, the cooling fans are blocked and cannot function properly.
    In such cases, it s advisable to clean and remove the dust with a professional pneumatic sprayer.
    These aerosols can be bought from the other computer dealers.

    Remove dust fans and cooling grids and check how the laptop would work.
    In addition, make sure that there is enough free space around the laptop.
    This is important because of the flow of air.

  • Satellite M70-207: high temperature - how to open it?

    Hello

    I own an M70 207 for about a year. A few days ago I noticed a very high temperature in the light front right (near the speaker). I stopped it immediately.
    Since then, whenever I turned on the computer, it is this same something three or four minutes, even if everything else is fine.
    The fan (which is on the opposite corner) seems to work ok.
    I tried to open the case, but I think I did find all the screws, because it is still blocked.

    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you!

    It's very strange. I have the same laptop and I noticed a hot area on the left (HARD drive). But on the side right, there is nothing that the PCMCIA location empty. You are using a PCMCIA card?

  • Written by Satellite L300 and DVD

    Hello!

    I want to ask how to put in place the DVD for best performance (Satellite L300 (PS *)).

    This laptop has the factorial DVD player, but when I want to read a DVD entirely, it required 1 hour...

    Yesterday I tried to write a DVD with Nero 6, and full time operation (with write/verification) is 02:20.
    It's horrible. In my corp DVD, writing is max 30 minutes...

    The OS is WinXP SP3, Nero is 6.0.x.

    What driver I need to sign up or anything I need to reconfigure to make effective DVD read/write this machine?

    Thanks for your IDEA of all.

    DD

    Hello!

    First of all for a CD/DVD drive, you don't need a driver. It s a part of the operating system (Windows).

    It is already an available update Nero 6.0.x. Please visit [www.ahead.com] and install the latest update. As far as I know the latest version is 6.6.1.15.

  • Satellite P750 - A069 high temperature

    Hey guys,.

    Recently, I noticed that my laptop temperature is higher than usual. I've updated the BIOS and still the same thing. This high temperature really bothers me. Even if I ignore it, sometimes my laptop just stops because of the high temperature.

    Can someone help me with this annoying situation, please?

    How to use your laptop?
    I mean, it's very important that the cooling vents must be free.
    I hope you use your laptop on the desk and there is enough room for air circulation.
    > stops... sometimes my laptop just because of the high temperature.
    You are right. When notebook s material range temperature critical portable level stops down to avoid damage to the equipment. For this reason, it is very important for the cooling vents and cooling grill to be free. Right now laptop can take a deep breath and be cooled properly.

  • Satellite L500-126 - high temperatures when you play

    Lately, my laptop started to reach very high temperatures, I've done a few tests in playing cod 4 on max settings for half an hour.

    Here are the results.

    CPU max temperature: 88 degrees celsius
    Core max GPU temperature: 112 degrees celsius (!)

    It happened several times that my computer off everything just himself.
    What can I do about it?

    Hello

    Have you installed a different 3rd display driver of the part that is not Toshiba? Usually, these drivers are the cause of the high temperatures and can destroy the equipment. So if you have a such display driver remove it and install the latest driver from Toshiba Web site.

    In addition, you must clean your laptop at any time using a jet of compressed air:

  • Satellite A350D - too high temperature of the processor

    Hello guys.

    My laptop CPU temperature is too high. I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit edition. And the temperature at idle is ~ 70, she raises up to 98 C when loading the system. It happens only with 64-bit OS. 32-bit Windows idle temperature is ~ 40-50 ° C.
    I have the model A350D PSAKCE.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    There is a new version of 64-bit BIOS.
    In your case, I recommend to check the version of the BIOS.
    If you still use an older version of BIOS (perhaps 32 bits), then you need to update it to the latest version of BIOS 64-bit.

    Good luck

  • Satellite L850 - 13p high temperature and lag PSKDNE game while

    Hello

    as you can see from the pictures that my laptop is to do very hot ween playing just five minutes in any game... and the part of frustrating, it of ween happens to 100 ° c the games lag becose the cpu between thermal protection and lowers the frequency but after the cooler starts to spin only it it cools and the frame of the game rate returns to normal...

    Is there something I can do to keep the cooler at a constant rate of RPM?

    One of my friends has a laptop from other manufacturer who is 17 "with i5 and and the same video card and this is not the case at all naturally cooler HES is so quiet...

    Sorry for my English hope you understand guys and pls [http://postimg.org/image/qxm5wa3l9/] see the picture I have attached.

    Thank you!

    > computer laptop gets very hot ween playing just five minutes in any game... and the frustrating part is that he ween arrives at 100 c the games lag becose the cpu between thermal protection and lowers the frequency but after the cooler starts to spin it it cools and the frame of the game rate returns to normal...

    As you say; the game starts late because the temperature increases to a critical level. That's GPU and CPU performance should be lowered until the temperature would come down.
    To me, it seems that the internal parts can not be properly cooled.

    To ensure a cooling performance better, please make sure that the cooling fans would be free of dust and air can circulate properly.

    Also I recommend you to check the parameters of cooling in the Windows power management settings. The parameters of the single electric plan contains options to control different devices, while the laptop is running in battery mode or to the main stream.
    You can set the modules of cooling performance. I think it would be also desirable to diminish the value of 85%-90% max CPU performance, just to check if it would help to eliminate the delay.

  • Satellite L350-14F - high temperature

    I own a L350-14F and going crazy from the heat and the noise of the fans.
    Temperatures of 70-75 degrees CELSIUS (= 160-165) are 'normal' for a few minutes after starting.
    The hottest areas are on the side left (where the fan is) and on the upper right of the touchpad.
    These times are really standard... even when I'm not using it!
    With some intensive programs, I even noticed 92 degrees CELCIUS!

    I tried to reinstall everything and assuming that it was caused by a faulty driver or something. But not.
    Using the Toshiba restore disks, did not help.
    Using an original CD of Windows Vista has not helped either
    Update all the drivers have not helped either

    There is one thing that helps, but slows down the laptop;
    in the BIOS there is a parameter named "Multi-Core-transformation" which has 2 options

    * Dynamic
    * Always low

    Initially, it is located in Dynamics.
    But when I set to always low temperatures, less than about 45 degrees Celsius, (and the fans are not as strong).
    It is not a real solution but it solves the problem of heat

    The machine is completely up to date with all the drivers, patches and updates (even vista SP2)
    But also after a full restore using the Toshiba disc problem stay.

    Anyone knows a solution or cause?

    Thank you very much for the comments.

    On this forum that a lot of people want to use non-Toshiba display driver and I've tried to explain as many times that these drivers are not optimized and tested on Toshiba laptops.
    I am very happy that you confirm my opinion on these drivers.

    You got your laptop with the tested drivers. Perhaps the graphic performance is not the best but graphics card is not required to run at high or maximum level. The laptop will be cooled properly, the cooling fan will be not strong and constantly run and, of course, there is no risk of damaging the equipment.

    55 degrees is certainly normal working temperature.

    Good bye

  • Power light is on when the Satellite U400/T5800 is off - is this normal?

    We have a Satellite U400 T5800/new, just bought yesterday and have completed the configuration of the software.
    Everything seems to work very well.

    However, I noticed that the orange power LED is turned on (solid, and not not not flashing), even when the laptop is off and there is no connected AC.
    I couldn't find an explanation in the manuals or online. This behavior is normal?

    Normally, I would expect a laptop can be completely powered down - is it normal for the LED light to be even on (continuously when laptop is turned off).

    When the laptop is turned on, the light turns white as expected.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I have a Satellite U400 too and if I close my laptop and unplug the AC adaptor all lights are off.
    Are you sure you did stop your laptop and not hibernate or stand-by? Check it!

    You can try to update the BIOS. Check the Toshiba site for an update.

  • Satellite L300 and slow internet

    Hello

    I have a laptop Toshiba L300. This week, I installed a Windows Update. Therefore, my internet is very slow. On a www.slowinternet.com Web page I read an article saying that the network drivers could be the cause of an internet slow.

    But I have my doubts on this subject, because I guess that Windows does not update the network drivers for Toshiba, I'm wrong. So, what else can cause this problem?

    Thanks for your time and help,

    Hi Frank

    Can you please tell us more about the whole issue?
    Are you using a LAN or WLAN connectivity?

    What type of update you installed?

    Have you tried to roll back the OS to an earlier time before that you have installed this update to check if the problem will be solved?
