Satellite L555-10R - annoying fan noise

For a long time, I ve been having this problem with my laptop: when I have a Skype video call, watch TV Online, or sometimes with video files, the fan also sounds as he works hard, and the people I have video calls with also complain that they heard this annoying noise.

But lately it has gotten worse, and sometimes the laptop stops. I guess it's a kind of defence against overheating, mechanism (?)

How to deal with this problem?

Hello

If you have this problem for a long time, why you didn t contacted Toshiba service and clarify this?
Warranty is still valid?

  • Portege R700 - 11G - high and annoying fan noise

    Dear friends:

    I have a Portege R700 - 11G, I bought only two weeks ago.

    The computer works fine, except for the high and annoying fan noise.

    Even do nothing, only to start and sometimes in the bios Setup, the fan is always turn with a temperature of 40 ° or 50.

    I've updated the BIOS and I don't know what to do.

    Can someone help me please?
    Thank you very much.

    Hi mate

    Please check the settings in the Windows 7 power management!

    There you can optimize the CPU and cooling performance module this should help reduce heat dissipation and fan speed.

    In addition I recommend upgrading the Toshiba Fingerprint Software immediately to the version V1.0.2.32 or higher. In addition, turn off the power save option of fingerprint device in Device Manager.

    Device Manager->-> authentic Tec Inc AES1610-> the power management of biometric devices

    Here, you will have to remove the mark next to the option called allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
    Disable the power saving mode will reduce the life of the battery, so you can check whether or not it helps reduce noise.

  • Satellite L555-10R - Reeltime ceased to record my activity

    Hello.

    Ive got a new Satellite L555-10r, had it for 2 days.

    After you install Adobe CS3 master collection, I didn't notice that half of the programs were installed and ran the installation a second time and those missing were included ok the second time around. Then, I got the error message that Reeltime was not working properly and he could tell me if she could solve the problem.

    Then I got a similar error message when opening Microsoft Works. Reeltime ceased to record my activity, so I downloaded the program from the site Toshibas, uninstalled and reinstalled it. It seems the record activity now ok for applications e.g. photoshop, word etc but not for www pages read in explorer, firefox or chrome, despite small icons for these browsers listed within reeltime.

    IM wondering if something has got corrupted and I should reinstall the operating system and start again using F8 like I'm still in the early stages to up my laptop and running and must still transfer data or install other programs.

    How long is the F8 reinstall, it's just Windows 7 or this will provide all the software factory too like Toshiba and Mcaffeee?
    Either by the way, I had removed Mcaffeee using their kidnapping special .exe before installing adobe cs3.

    I hope you can answer my question, thank you for your help.

    The HARD drive recovery process which can be started by using the F8 key-> fix my computer-> drive HARD recovery should not take much time.
    The installation of the image should run without problem.

    The point is that you won't need to install the drivers and tools using the Toshiba recovery. This process restores the phone to factory settings simply says that you will get the same status as on the first day of purchase

  • Upgrading RAM on Satellite L555-10R

    Hello

    I have a satellite L555-10R, Win 7 64 bit, main Board TOSHIBA KTWAA Intel GM45/GM47 chipset, 1.9 BIOS, CPU Intel COre 2 duo P7450;

    I want to upgrade ram 2x2gb (SAMSUNG) to 2 x 4 GB (CORSAIR). Only the ram that I put in the location #1 is recognized as a result system starts and detects 6 GB of RAM. When I put the RAM 2nd Slot #2, the PC does not start. It seems that it does not detects hard (the LED on the front of the PC don't not ligth during startup). I can't go into the BIOS (even if I press the F2 key), black screen, all I can do is power off.

    I'd appreciate your help, if you have an idea.
    Thank you

    Hello

    First some general information on your machine:
    Your laptop can be upgraded to the top 8 GB and max upgrade, you can use both modules of memory of 4 GB.
    Compatible 4 for GB DDR3 - 1066 MHz apart number PA3677U-1M4G. Module of memory with this part number is tested and 100% compatible with your device.

    If you check this forum you will find number of threads as your one, where people try to level of RAM using Rams Corsair and spoke of the same problems. Obviously the reason for non-working machine is compatibility issue with these RAM modules.

    The 'value' Modules of RAM use many markets good chips using several banks/channels, which can cause problems of compatibility with some chipsets/CPUS.

    I highly recommend to use high quality and 100% compatible modules of RAM from Toshiba or Kingston.

  • Satellite L650 1NC - the fan noise

    I bought the laptop in February 2011 and the fan noise deteriorated over time, now. I've read many threads in this forum and elsewhere about this problem and I think that the problems are basically the same.

    Now that I've read some that messages stating that the new BIOS, released in September have apparently solved the problem, I did a BIOS update (Version 2.3) to meet the same problem again.

    The fan stops when the temperature is below a certain threshold, in my case according to CoreTemp it seems to be at about 50-55 ° C. At the moment the fan turns off, which is also confirmed by the monitor of health indicating the 0% fan speed.
    This leads to the CPU temperature increases until the fan is used to about 55-60% fanspeed.
    This process repeats every 15-20 seconds and is very annoying.

    It gets worse, but if I start to actually do something like a request to open from the web browser - nothing serious, really, I don't want to start even complain about the noise while game/watch movies.
    The fan speed will be 70-75% as soon as the CPU gets the work to be done.
    The noise that results is unacceptable for 20-30 seconds.

    Noise is an important factor for me. At the University I can't use it as my fellow students are too distracted by its noise. To work my colleagues began to complain as well.
    As I use my cell phone while being out of my own office/home it is basically useless for me now.

    Has anyone else still issues after the recent updates to the BIOS?
    Is there a way to put the fan always runs at around 30-40%?

    All opinions are appreciated.

    Hello

    Cooling module performance depend on the internal temperature.
    If the temperature arise at a higher level, the fan must turn more quickly to prevent equipment overheating it's usual behavior.

    But you can try to change some Windows 7 power management settings.
    This will reduce the performance of the CPU and the dissipation of the heat and that should slow down the activity of the fan too.

    Here is instruction how to change the Windows 7 power management.

  • Satellite L555-10R: Question about using an external monitor with 1920 x 1200

    Hello

    I have this toshiba laptop: L555-10R

    I want to buy a screen external 24 "to use for CAD

    Please can you tell me, my graphics card composed with run at 1920 x 1200 monitor, and a second screen 1600 x 900 at the same time see my cell phone?

    I really want the 1200 vertical height of the external display for CAD work such as size of the screen vertically made a big difference.

    If not, is there anything I can do about it to update the graphics card from the laptop?

    If not, can you suggest a new laptop that would support this? I am looking for excellent performance for rendering using 3DS Max, autocad, sketchup, etc.

    Thanks in advance
    Christopher

    > Please can you tell me, my graphics card composed with run at 1920 x 1200 monitor, and a second screen 1600 x 900 at the same time see my cell phone?

    I think that this should not be a big problem
    The graphics chip is expected to provide support for 1920 x 1200.
    The question is whether the graphics card driver contains such special resolution of 1920 x 1200

    However, you can certainly choose two different resolutions for the screen internal and external monitor.

    (* 2) * that supports the processors quad core (for example intel Q9100)

    To be honest, I think that no one can say what motherboard is equipped with it. Here he s only one user to user forum and if you want to know more details, ask the partner of service authorized in your country.

    On the updates, I can only say that it s official unsupported. This means that no one can tell what are the types of processors are supported or not. When you replace the CPU, you will lose your warranty, everything happens on your own risk!

  • Equium A200 - annoying fan noise

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A200 - 26 d and the fan is almost always on regardless of what I do. I find that very annoying because he is so strong and change the power plan settings doesn't seem to work. The fan starts with a kind of quiet Growl every 20 seconds or so just for a few seconds and it's rather boring. Any help on setting when the fan turns on, or an explanation of the question to know if this is normal or not would be great.

    Any help would be great because it's driving me bananas, thanks v more.

    Try to change the parameters of the method of cooling. Test it by using the battery optimized in combination with the balanced power option. I must say that I am convinced with this combination on my Satellite P200 laptop big.

  • Satellite L300D - 02Q - weird fan noise

    I just bought a laptop Satellite L300D - 02Q yesterday and realized that the noise of the fan is different from laptops of all other brands, that is much sharper, but when I checked the fan it seems normal running.

    I was wondering if anyone has the same experience, or is it really a problem?

    I don't know what you mean under different but I agree with Akuma. It is entirely due to different design, different hardware parts.
    Can you please tell us what is so different for you?

  • Satellite A30 714 cooling fan noise

    I have an A30 714 and due to the high temperature of the portable computer, the fan is on 90% of the time. It is very noisy. It is also the energy consumption when working with batteries. Does anyone have a suggestion about the possible problem and solution?

    Thank you

    Hi Fernando,

    From your description, I suspect that there is some malware running on your A30 which is causing the CPU to process at a higher than normal rate, so the high activity of the fan and the autonomy of the batteries.

    I suggest that you scan your A30 for virus/spyware/malware, etc. using a utility such as ADAWARE and SPYBOT (both are free and can be downloaded if you have not already installed).

    I also suggest that you start the Task Manager and check exactly what percentage is actually using your CPU and what services/applications are actually being run.

    Kind regards

  • On Satellite L555-10R with Tempro and disc problems

    Hello

    The service the customer in France did not answer me, I bought a laptop thinking that the customer service was bad. Once more I'm wrong, I come from Acer and I to have the same quality of service after sale = zero.

    So, I'm here to try to get answers to my questions.

    I have some problems for a while on my laptop:

    * _ #1_ *-I am regularly informed of updates of Tempro. Currently the version 3.3 is available. But when I try to install it, I have a message that says:

    * Fatal Error *.
    * Installation ended prematurely after an error *.

    * 2_ # _ *-another problem when I start my laptop, it says that the disk cannot be verified. A window informs me a Drw10 error or something like that.

    I want to thank in advance if you can help me.
    Sorry for my bad English language.

    Good day

    Hello

    Have what ASP you contacted in France?

    With regard to the Tempro.
    I recommend that you set the notebook back to factory settings by using the HARD drive recovery options (press F8-> fix my computer-> HDD recovery).

    End of the process after the retrieve, update Windows 7 to the last State.
    Download the most recent 3.33 Tempro, then try to install this new
