Satellite L650 - overheating

I am owner of a [Toshiba Satellite L650-14F | http://www.toshiba.rs/satellite-l650-14e-455-c491-view.htm] laptop that is running 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate. ? It is a year old.

I'm not an avid player of game, but I play relatively demanding games on it, including the last Prince of Persia and Fallout. It worked without any problem, but it has been about half a year sice I played what either.

Most of the time the laptop is connected via HDMI to my monitor 22 '' (1680 x 1050). I mention this because in the last few months I have experienced overheating accompanied by forced outages. It happened on two occasions. Once while playing a regular Xvid and do some CPU intensive process in background and last night by playing a mkv video in 720 p with GPU hardware acceleration.

In the second case the laptop was raised still my desktop using a book so that sufficient space there to blow hot air. It's like that since the first incident of overheating.

Now, I doubt that it is a normal behavior. Can any who share similar experiences and what they have done? Use the warranty for watching? I have a five year warranty non-affaire - what, but I don't know how they deal with these issues. Do you guys think / suggest?

Hello

High internal temperature is a common problem of laptop that is a lot of devices (CPU, GPU, HDD, cooling, modules, etc.) is placed on a small area and all of these devices produce a lot of heat dissipation.
Therefore, it is very important that the fans of cooling and cooling modules work correctly.

I noticed a similar problem on my laptop after a while of use. The temperature rose to above level t which and it touched the features of the laptop.
I read in various forums that this can be caused by dirty fans and cooling grids.

I had to clean the fans and cooling grids using a jet of compressed air. This helped to turn out to get rid of the dust and debris that prevent air circulation.
Then I removed the dust and it helped.

Now, again from time to time if its necessary.

    Hello

    This does not sound very good boyfriend. I'm afraid that there could be some sort of dysfunction material Mr. something like the problems of graphics card or motherboard issue.

    You can try plugging the external monitor to the laptop just to see if something would be visible on 2nd screen.
    But if nothing will appear on the 2nd monitor, I think that the chip of the graphics card died :(

    Of course, this is just my personal opinion and a laptop computer technician must check the laptop to know what part of the laptop could be faulty.

  • Need for new drivers graphics for Satellite L650

    Hi all

    I'll explain my situation, I think that many others have this same problem with the toshiba now.
    There is 1 year and some months pass after I got my first laptop Toshiba Satellite L650-11F and at first I thought this computer will work without problems for at least 2 years. Well, today I found a 'BIG' problem with the toshiba... I can't install the new drivers for my graphics card AMD ATI Mobility RADEON HD 5650 driver AMD's official website.

    Today I buy Battlefield 3 for my machine, but my drivers are old, cannot properly manage the graphics and the solution is to download the new drivers from AMD, but it is impossible. What I'm asking is for the Toshiba Dev new pilots ready AMD download as quickly as possible, because right now, I had in hands a game that was supposed to operate without a problem and the old drivers killed the game completely.

    I get all the time new drivers for WIFI all the time, I don't need that. My graphics card is not updates for almost 1 year, is a joke!

    It is well known that display or graphic drivers for mobile devices (laptops) should be downloaded from the laptop manufacturer's download page. The proposed drivers should be tested. Many people have reported the same thing, but in general, it is not new.

    Mobile units have a specific design built in cooling system is designed to cool the material placed in laptop Briefcase. New strength of graphics card drivers can force a graphics card to run with more power and offer more performance. More performance means more heat. If the cooling cooling system canoe result graphic adapter will be overheating or even damage the equipment.

    The reason why the manufacturers of portable don t which s provide drivers of graphics update so often that the manufacturers of cards designed for desktop computers.

    Another thing: the series laptops are not the best machines for the games. I have used several laptops from Toshiba in the past, and this is my personal opinion.

  • Satellite L650 - strange behavior of cooling fan

    However, when I start the laptop of the shutdown _a fan State starts and he continues to work ever. _... If I don't do anything in the laptop continues to...

    I think something is wrong because the week there, it starts and stops for the heat from the laptop...

    Thank you so much for your attetion
    Kind regards.

    Hello

    It didn't happen since the first day is good?
    Is it possible that you have installed some kind of software that might affect the system and cooling properties?

    I m not very well what's going wrong here but I guess that its software related issue
    Don t think its BIOS problem because if BIOS would cause this, then the issue should appear from the first day of purchase

    You could try to put the system in the previous state, but in the worst cases, you will need to run a system recovery in order to redefine the laptop to factory settings.

  • Satellite L650-16w - cannot run game using the old GPU driver

    first of all I had to say that my English is not very good, so if there is a German support it would be easier for me to write with German support.

    2 weeks ago, I bought a new toshiba Satellite L650-16w.
    After installing my favorite game, I'm trying to start this game, but I can't because of this error message: "3DGM gm_OpenGLError, param err error:"not enough memory"", last error win32 #8 "»

    After that, I tried the latest driver and installed the driver version 8.723.2 on the home page of toshiba, the amd driver does not work, but the error is still there.
    I tried many things but I wasn't able to run this game on my computer.
    I'm sure it's a problem with the driver because when I uninstalled the drivers launched the game! (there was only the installed windows vga drivers).
    Unfortunately, I had a low fps rate of relay with windows drivers, so I was unable to play this game without the pilots.

    I hope someone can help me to launch this game and there is no solution to run this game on my pc.

    My oem is windows 7 64 bit, and Yes this game still works on win 7 64 bit because I got to play this game on an another win 7 64 bit system.

    Hello

    Usually, you should always use Toshiba driver because drivers are supported for GPU overheating protection.
    If you want to use other drivers, then you can do this at your own risk.

    I googled a bit and found two pages that provide updated ATI drivers the:
    www.OmegaDrivers.net/
    www.laptopvideo2go.com/

    Perhaps one of the pilots of the mentioned pages would you play this game for sure.

  • Abnormal temperature CPU on Satellite L650 - 13 M

    Hello

    I have a Satellite L650 with an i5 430 m (with ATI 5650) around the age of 2 months and when I occasionally play NBA 2 K 11 I get these very high CPU temperatures
    with HWmonitor. They go up to 89-90 ° C when Im in the game and the drop-down list for 60 in a second if I leave the game. From now on half an hour after playing, he reads 45 and 46 for two hearts. The time will not change if I have a notebook cooler. I've only tried this particular game, since I do not play anything else now.

    I know running more hot than portable computers desktop computers, but is this normal or not and what I would do to this topic?

    a little more hot is good. ;)
    In my opinion, this is normal. Until everything is working properly and there is no overheating it is OK.

    When you play games using high performance power plan with maximum cooling method level. Make sure that the laptop is cooled properly, cooling grills are free, and I think that everything should be OK.

    ATI drivers don t support this protection and this is the reason why you get this message.

  • Satellite L650 - update of the need for the Mobility Radeon HD 5650 driver

    Hello

    I'm looking for some updated for my vga card drivers, and the only ones left are 2011 (who are old enough).
    I managed to update with AMD generic drivers, but since I have a 24 "display when I do, I get black borders in resolution max. It happens, I think, because the graphics card has been tweeked by Toshiba so my only option is that you have some updated drivers for it.

    Any help/info would be great.

    Data sheet:
    Satellite L650-11F PSK1JE
    Processor Intel I5 2.1 ghz
    Mobility radeon hd 5650 graphics card
    4 GB of ddr3 memory
    hard drive 500 GB

    Drivers Toshiba re changed but I don t think that your right/left borders on the external screen are related to this change. The drivers of Toshiba support protection against overheating, but AMD drivers don't support such feature.

    However, I think that the question that is related to the bad resolution. You must choose the native resolution used by the external monitor.
    In addition in the ATI catalyst, you should check the settings that are associated with the border I put t know the exact description, but as I remember there is an option that eliminates the left/right border.

    Toshiba disc creator recovery using you create the recovery disk/disks that contains the recovery image. It's a kind of footprint of the preinstalled operating system.

    There are a few specific tolls of Toshiba which can provide information on the serial number of your machine.
    Install Win7 clean and install most drivers, tools and utilities. When you install Toshiba value added package included tool n this package is Toshiba PC diagnostic tool.
    When it start checking basic information and you will find the serial number. Using this number, you can order original recovery disk-https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

    You're right about the windows key. You have the windows key that belongs to the original recovery image and cannot be used for activation if you try to install the version of the own BONE.

  • Satellite L650 no sound from speakers or phones

    I.ve just had my first problem with my Toshiba Satellite L650 - particularly serious, because I rely on it for all my music playback!

    Normally I can plug and on the headphone jack on my stereo, speakers cut out and I get HiFi glorious while it is inserted, and the speakers onboard bounce when I delete.
    Today, I have plugged as ususal and listened to a few songs.

    I unplugged (to move the laptop) and the internal speakers not to bounce.
    I reconnected the headphone jack and there was no sound from my stereo (finger test confirms the work of jack stereo).

    I checked all the app and the main volume - level in good health indicators were present.
    In the Device Manager, all reported correctly and counter activity took place during the test routines of the audio device for both speakers and headphones, but no real signal to the phone jack, or speakers.
    "Update drivers" who fired the message I; m to date.

    I uninstalled the drivers of "High definition Audio Device", and scanned for hardware changes after - drivers were automatically found and installed successfully, but still no sound.
    In desperation I dug an old USB-audio gadget, plugged and his fate that perfectly well by the USB port.

    Can anyone suggest what I can try to force an internal connection between Microsoft Sound Mapper (i.e. the string digital things that seems to work very well) and outputs real material?
    This machine is not an old duffer and this should not be the case!

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    Hmm, I doubt that the headphone is faulty because in this case, the internal speakers of the laptop computer s should work properly.

    Please go to Panel of-> sound-> the Read tab.
    The speakers as default device?

    In addition, please see the Audio Manager HD Realtek located on the control panel.
    On the right, you should see a few options (in my case, that they are marked with a folder icon). Check it!
