Satellite L500 - the GPU temperature high all in game

Hi all

I use a laptop L500 with the following:

Windows Vista 64 - bit SP2
Intel Core 2 Duo @2.1 GHz T6500
4 GB OF RAM
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4500 Series.

I followed my GPU temperature while performing a new game with the GPU - Z utility.

As soon as I start the game the temperature rises of 65-70 ° C to 90-100 + C in 10 miutes. There seems to be a link between temp and performance, so when my temp fires the game fps drops dramatically. Whenever I alt tab the drops back to normal within a few minutes.

My question is wheather this high temperature is ok or he says something of a cooling problem? If I have to clean my laptop I would expect a notable difference (never cleaned - was used for 18 months)? I read somewhere that updating my BIOS since v1.4 could possibly help, it's true and it's worth the risk?

Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much

Hi Mirari,

> If I clean up my laptop I would expect a notable difference (never cleaned - was used for 18 months)?
Oh yes, you will have noticed a big difference if you use already for 18 months now and never clean it before. Normally, the laptop must be cleaned every 3-4 months and after this time and cleaning you will notice a difference that laptop will run much cooler again, but I have to say that I use my laptop every day.

It of not difficult to clean the cooling system because you don t have to disassemble the laptop. All you need is a stream of air compressed to blow the dust from the cooling fans, as described here:

  • Satellite L500 - the sound coming from headphones and speakers

    Hello world

    My problem is about sound.when I put the headphones in my laptop, the sound just two headphones and speakers.
    How can I solve this problem? If can't, I can't use my laptop in attendance.

    Hey,.

    What OS is currently installed on your computer?

    Is the headset itself works because you can listen to the sound with headphones so for now I doubt s a hardware problem

    In any case, perhaps the problem is only linked to its driver and updated it could solve the problem in your case, I would check the Web from Toshiba site to download the latest version.

  • Satellite Pro P100 GPU Fan off or full speed after updating the Bios to 4.20

    Hello

    After installing the "nine" update Bios 4.20 the GPU fan is when the laptop is cool. While working with him the GPU temperature increases up to 100 ° C (very hot), then the fan starts to run at medium speed and the GPU is cooled. After a restart, for example. the next day, the fan still works on the average speed or high (very noisy). With the bios version before this problem appeared.

    Someone at - it the same problem with his laptop?
    Someone there done the update of the Bios before 4.20 and can send it to me?

    Hi guys

    May I ask which graphics drivers are you using?
    If you n t use the original graphic driver on the site of Toshiba and the laptop can starts overheating. Non - Toshiba GPU led don t support protection against overheating as the drivers of Toshiba! If the temperature of the GPU would rise to a higher level, then the pilot would diminish GPU performance to reduce the heat.
    Drivers graphic non-Toshiba don t control it and therefore the GPU could produce more heat.

    Another reason for this problem could be changed to value of table fan.
    I think that the cooling modules run faster and more often because the table fan has been changed in the BIOS. It may be necessary to prevent the overheating of the material.

  • Y480 GPU temperature raising

    I just bought Y480 a week ago... It's a great laptop with a great CPU and GPU for games...

    But I realized that the GPU temperature increases up to 90 * 85 ~ * celsius when it runs at full load...

    Is it normal to Y480 get temp all in game?

    or there is something wrong with my laptop?

    ' Welcome.

    max temp for most of the processors that I've seen is ~ 100. protection thermal, either the speed limit or shut down the system, you risk a little before that. When you arrive under heavy load, it seems that the fan is running at high speed? about room temperature, you use the machine in an environment conditioning or is the work of pc ~ 27 baseline c?

    in the end, if you are comfortable with the time you see, whereas it is a new machine that my recommendation would be that you contact and discuss options. If it's an older machine, I would say another interview.

    Kind regards.

  • After 5 min screen goes black on Satellite M60 all in game WOW

    Hello

    for two weeks my Satellite M60 presents problems for the game WOW.
    After 5 min of the Nootbook screen dark past, or permanent display, and nothing will.

    Before a year I push my Ram from 1 up to 2 GB.
    Is there someone who can help you?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    Sounds like a RAM or overheating problem.
    Maybe the modules to affect the internal temperature higher RAM and functionality.
    This can lead to problems while game.

    I think you should first check if cooling modules a free from dust and debris.
    Dust can be removed using a jet of compressed air.

    The next step should be an update of the display driver.
    Check if there is some more recent versions. If yes-> updated!

    Good luck

  • High temperature of the GPU on Satellite P100-108

    Hello

    Since 2 weeks ago I noticed that my GPU temperature goes up to 82 degrees. Everything to the left of the laptop gets hot after a few hours.
    I remember that a fan used to put on when obtained temperatures high, but lately I don't hear it. HARD drive and CPU temperatures are normal.

    If linux is used with acpi disabled, then a fan runs all the time and temperature of the GPU is around 50 degrees. I don't know what fan making all that noise, it could be the fan of the CPU or GPU maybe.

    So, I'm not sure if it windows or hardware failure. Any ideas?

    model: p100-108, last of the drivers installed

  • Re: Satellite L500 - stop all the time

    I have a Satellite L500 and I did a re image at the factory on the parameters of the box. When the image is complete and it starts to set up drivers, it stops, the screen was still the backlight but nothing else, I try to wake up and nothing happens. I held down the power button to stop and when I turn it back on the screen stays black and nothing happens.

    Once when I got it to work, I started windows normally and there was a message saying that the pilot had a problem. If someone has experienced this problem and if so how is it fixed?

    Sometimes if I remove the battery and then replace it, it will come down normally, but stops shortly after. I do not think that it is an overheating problem because it will stay there and work well, everything in the re image is done.

    Any ideas short of flush down the toilet.

    See you soon
    Richard

    Hey Buddy,

    This happens in the BIOS too? I mean you should access the BIOS and leave it for a while. What is going on?

    It could also be a problem due to a higher internal temperature. If you must clean your laptop using the jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans.

    In the worst case there s a hardware malfunction, and you need assistance to professional people. They can diagnose the problem and repair it under warranty.

  • 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 L500D - high all the time CPU usage

    Hi guys,.

    help a friend with a laptop, the thing was really slow had vista on it, so formatted and installed win7 x 64. It's a toshiba satellite l500d-pslk0a-00r009. Dual core 2.2 ghz. 4 GB RAM. (did a new install not updated)

    Even on an installation of vanilla, just running windows only update is trolling the heck out of him. CPU is sitting at 100%, but looking at the process that they all sit at zero. I can't see what process is the cause.

    Web browser opening is really offbeat it will freeze and say does not then come back after some time.

    temperatures are good (50deg C). Power profile is very good. Even turned off all the animations. always the same question.

    RAM usage is less than 20%.

    There is certainly a problem with the CPU, I ran the windows performance index, all rated in the Middle 4 except the CPU that qualified 2.0!

    I've updated all the drivers etc. What else can I try and do to solve the problem of cpu?

    Hello

    Try this: go into Device Manager and expand the entry processor and remove all entries from the CPU. Reboot the laptop.
    After that the windows system should recognize the entries deleted once more.

    After that I recommend you to check if the CPU performance.

  • Satellite L500 - high-pitched noise when the USB port is in use

    I have a Satellite L500-1ZP, aged from 1 month. When I connect a usb key or other device in my usb port, the laptop generates a high-pitched noise.
    The sound is not strong, strong but enough to irritate me.
    When I disconnect a device, the sound disappears.
    The sound is also there when I disconnect my laptop to the grid form.

    This is a common problem and can it be resolved?

    To be honest I don't think that this is a common problem. Is that what you found more threads with the same description of problem?
    The same happens when you use the available USB ports?
    You can locate where this noise is coming from? Maybe the speakers?

    Hello

    I put t know why you have software problem with the Vista OS preinstalled but my Toshiba tools and utilities work fine! Once the control buttons stopped working, but I could fix it reinstall the VAP.

    Back to your question:
    Yes, you can get all the Win 7 drivers and tools for the L500 series. Why not?
