Satellite M40X-129: fans works with a maximum return on Vista

Hello

I have the laptop M40X 129 for 2 years and am very satisfied in this regard.
But since the last few weeks, I have problems with the cooler.
If I use a 3d task in the lower first 45, that the system works without any problem.
But his is warming a heater and cooler will then maximum (you can hear it).

From this moment, the system becomes very slow. I run the system with the highest maximum power and use windows vista professional.
The laptop feels too hot on the underside (ram?).

Is it possible to run the cooler from the start at a higher level, for example in the bios or in windows (some options?)?

I hope you can help me,
Flo

Hi Flo

Usually, there is nothing wrong with your laptop. If the internal temperature rises to a higher level, the cooling modules have to perform with maximum efficiency to lower the temperature!
While the temperature is high the graphic driver Toshiba decrease the performance of the graphics card in order to avoid a temperature rise.
That is why the laptop could run slowly!

What you could do is check the cooling fans and if necessary try to clean with a compressed air jet professional. These aerosols can be purchased from the merchant to the computer.

However, please note that the installed Vista is in need of more computer resources as the beginning s MS Windows operating system. All devices like CPU and GPU with superior performance and so the temperature is higher with Vista as using other Windows OS such as XP.

Good bye

    Hello

    Recently my computer laptop cooling fan started running continuously with a loud noise. When the screen is idle, it stops for a few seconds and start again. I changed the power balance in the Panel options, but it did not work. Even the BIOS is the most recent. Referring to discussion forums, I've changed to "selective startup" thru "msconfig" but nothing worked.

    He is 8 months old. The noise is very disturbing. Can someone please help me with this?

    Thank you very much

    Hey Buddy,

    > Referring to discussion forums, I've changed to "selective startup" thru "msconfig".
    I never heard of something like that

    Have you already tested it with cooling optimized battery method? Profile of balanced diet also uses maximum performance for cooling must change the power profile and choose the battery optimized for each profile on the battery and the AC adapter power / cooling CC.

  • Fan works with performance of 100% from PSAY3 by Satellite P750-10 t

    Hi all

    I had a problem with my laptop.

    I bought this phone last week and I noticed a few unexpected stops due to overheating. Whenever I have turn on the fan works with approximately 100% of the performance, but when I finally in my OS (Win 7 64 bit as it was delivered) it stops to regulate.

    If I start to play games or greater than 1 Adobe product at the same time, it starts to become warmer.
    Whenever I check the temperature via Toshiba PC Health Monitor, it shows that the temperature is at a point of chritical but fan runs always with about 30-40% (80% shown)... is not even half as strong as it is after turning on the pc.

    I don't know what to do now? Will there be a Toshiba programs/tools to solve this problem?

    I tried Speedfan and other programs, but they don't even show my fans.

    Sorry for my bad English.

    I think that this happens because of the auto-off before.
    I think that the BIOS has noticed the condition of temperature before the laptop off and so the fan run faster just by turning on the device

    But he s strange that fans run faster while game or do a job with high performance applications.
    In my opinion you need the BIOS default and it should test with factory settings

    PS: you have the latest version of the BIOS? The most recent at the moment seems to be v2.40

  • Power adapter for Toshiba Satellite M40X 129

    Hello guys,.
    hope this is the right forum to post my question in:

    I have a Toshiba Satellite M40X 129 (model No.: PSM4XE-01600CGR). My adapter is buggered so I need to get a new one. Bought the machine in Germany, now am in Tasmania / Australia. Being in a camp of the Valley remote until April, I won´t be able to go into a store with my laptop to try and understand, that the AC adapter / CC is suitable. We have internet here as our only communication, it is very important for me that sort.

    Can someone tell me, what type of adapter / power supply is planned or where to look?

    The one I ve been before is a LITEON, part No.: PA3432U-1AC3, model n °: PA-1750-09, input: 100-240V, 50-60 Hz, 1. 5 a, output: 19V, 3. 95 a.

    Thanks for your help and have a nice day
    Peter

    Adapters for your Satellite are:
    PA3432U-1ACA
    PA3432U-1AC3
    PA3432C-1AC3.

    Put this number in Google and you will find very precise specifications.

    By the way: If you already have the old adapter specifications I put t understand why you need some additional info. If there is no possibility to buy again until April, how do you get a new one?
    Sorry, but I m confused.

  • Error and warning before and after the POST - Satellite M40X 129

    Hello

    I use a Satellite M40X-129, bought in 2005.
    After you have reinstalled Windows and all the necessary drivers (after more than 3 years, which was the longest time I used a windows ;-)) installation this afternoon, I meet the following situation when starting):

    (... check and all the stuff of ram...)
    Updated System Configuration data
    ERROR
    0271: check date and time
    WARNING
    0251: System CMOS checksum bad - default configuration used
    Press to resume, installation

    When I press F1 to resume, windows starts very well as I'm used to it.
    I can also access the configuration and need to update the time setting.

    Two scenarios:
    (a) the startup, shutdown, reboot: error message happen
    (b) setting the time, out of the bios with save the configuration, boot, very well until the stop/restart is required

    I tried to download the update of the bios to v1.60, but the configuration tool told me that this version is already in use and it will not progress.

    What I wondered: why is it happening? I don't think that the battery power is low, which was suggested to others in other threads, because it happened just after I installed the chipset/utils and other drivers from the toshiba download page.

    What can I do?

    -Bios update? -> Where can I find a new version? A tool (which I downloaded from a site linked to Phoenix Technologies) told me, there is an update for my Bios, but he wants me to join a subscription $29.99 / year

    -Swap CMOS battery? -> how remove m40x-129, tutorials? Don't want no f * ck it upwards...

    any other advice?

    Thanks for your help.
    Best regards

    Hello

    I think that the CMOS battery may be empty and therefore both a given in the BIOS is always changing the default value.

    Usually, you should be able to recharge this battery CMOS very easily.
    The user manual describes how to load this. Take a look at your manual

    As I m not wrong not the laptop must be ON and running and must be connected to the mains for more than 20hours.
    Then, the notebooks BIOS battery needs to be recharged again.

    You can order form of the manufacturer's recovery media.

    The reason why the system as non-authentique shows currently is using a license in Volume KMS - these licenses must be re-activated at least every 6 months by connecting to the KMS user license activation server.

    It will require a reformat and reinstall whatever you do, unless you can connect to the KMS - Volume media server cannot be upgraded under normal conditions.

  • Satellite Pro M40X does not work with battery

    Hello

    I have toshiba satellite pro m40x laptop. It haves apromaly 11 months.
    In recent weeks, the laptop does not work with the battery.
    With the battery and the power running, if I turn on the laptop, it turns off after 10 seconds. If I only turn the computer batteries, laptop not respons.
    The laptop works without battery.

    I have rma is not the portable and the technical suport fixed the battery because it only 6 months guarantee.

    I'm sure that battery modules were not upset because I used the battery not very often.
    I disassemble and I wached the control circuit. I'm sure that something of them, it was broken, but I can't fix it without the schema.

    Another question is if I can change the graphics card to laptop. Is actually a x600se but I need power more graphic

    I hope you can help me

    gretings

    Hello

    It is not easy to say what the problem is here. Have you noticed something strange with LED power control? It is also possible that the electronic power supply do troubled. Try to talk with authorized Toshiba and explain the situation. If you open only one Notepad, uneducated, it may be simply worse.

    Graphics card cannot be updated as on desktop computers. I put t know how it is on this model laptop but the graphics card is fixed on the motherboard and cannot be traded.

  • My Satellite A100 GPU fan works 100% all the time

    First: I have the Satellite A100-440 with GeForce Go 7300 and XP Professional (and Ubuntu).

    There is something wrong with thermal control. The first PC Wizard has always shown that the temperature of my GPU is "a very large number" and the fan is runnign 100% all the time (the main problem). Then I installed ATItool hoping he would show the temperature correctly. Well, it worked in part. Now when I check the temperature with PC Wizard, it indicates the temperature of the GPU normally (like 30-40 degrees celsius), but it also shows the GPU Diode temperature it's "a very large number" (as 4.294967E + 09 C) and the fan will operate at 100%.

    I tried to control fans with RivaTuner, but nothing happens.

    So if anyone has an idea how I could continue to solve the problem, I would be very grateful. I don't know if the problem is with the hardware (I could take this service) or with the software...

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Why are you talking about 'problem' and 'solve this problem?
    I see no problem!
    First of all I'm not all 3rd party applications that monitor temperatures. I'm not 100% sure if these applications provide a good values.

    However, as far as I know the laptop was shipped with Vista and not XP and Linux. You do not use a factory settings. It seems that you have set up the laptop with new applications and you should know that all the software installed and running insists on the CPU and other parts.

    BIOS fan table supports different temperature and cooling of the speed measurements. This means that if the temperature rises to a higher level, the cooling module starts and tries to decreases the internal temperature.

    Usually the temperature depends on the use of the laptop. If several processes of the OS are running in the background, that the CPU performance are high, the temperature rises and the fans start to run. There is nothing unusual about it.

    Furthermore, the dust and debris inside the laptop might have a bad influence on the laptop cooling. From time to time, it is advisable to clean the cooling modules.

    Last but not least the laptop must be placed free on table to ensure the circulation of air correctly. Don't forget that there is enough free space around the laptop.

    Finally, I must say that one of my friends has an A100 and the fans run correctly.
    This means that the cooling modules works with maximum performance while playing games or using graphics software.
    However fans do not work with maximum performance using only common programs like IE software or office.

  • Equium M40x does not work with connected AC

    Hi all

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite M40x-189, there little about 2 years and recently I have problems with it.

    The laptop when it is connected to the Board, the green light appears, but after 5 seconds it laptop turn off. the looks of dead battery, because it does not load normally, I keep connect and disconnect the AC, so that the orange light appear sometimes, sometimes for 5 seconds only. It's frustrating. When the drums come to start getting free he takes forever to be full. just at the moment where there is a load on the battery, that I can work on the laptop, even with the connected AC, but instead to use the AC laptop running on the battery, which usually lasts less than an hour, and then it's the bit of history.

    All I need is just to work with connected AC, because I normally just use the AC.
    Well I don't know what the problem is, can someone help me please

    Hello

    For me, it looks like a problem with the electronic power supply on the motherboard.
    I don t think that there is an adapter of wit AC problem itself or with the bad connection between the power supply and the Commission.
    If the AC adapter would malfunction the battery would not charge. But charges of battery, it collects a very slowly but it charges

  • Satellite L50 - B fan works even if the CPU load is very low

  • Satellite A660-10W - fan works too

    I had my A660-10W 10 months. Recently the fan suddenly turn a lot, whereas previously it was quiet. I don't do games, I just write and browse the Internet or watch a movie. The fan works now, 69% always, very often 90% and temperature show 54 or 64.

    I would like to point out the fan does not like this before, so I'm worried that it will cause damage.

    Thank you.

    Hi Bedouins,

    Are you currently using another power plan or have you changed something on the cooling method? From my own experience, I can say that if I use the Eco mode there are much less active fan. If the laptop is quieter and it safes a little battery.
    If you use the power balanced Windows profile, it uses the method of cooling a maximum performance. If the fan runs more often.
    In most cases I use the Eco mode to surf on the internet because it s enough.

    In addition it s advisable to clean the cooling system from time to time using a jet of compressed air.
    Do you have already?

  • Satellite U400D does not work with dockstations!

    Hello

    I'm now looking for laptops for the home, and I want a template with docking station, because it will be my only PC. And I want to have comfortable workplace (screen + keyboard + mouse) + some periphery.
    I don't want to mess with wiring whenever I take for laptop in another room or outdoors, but still I need portability, and I don't want all my data with me and do not compromise in computing power. I'm looking for models 13 inches, because they have dimensions of the standard paper and adapt easily to any bag.

    This is a PROBLEM! Toshiba has big 13-inch models U400d, which perfectly suited to my needs, but without no docking station.

    I discovered very few cell phones may work with dock stations and are for the most part, these laptops 15 "and above corporate models (parts of USB, as Dynadock don't count - he has weak graphics and can not run edge all together, although we'll see what happens with USB 3.0).

    Dear Toshiba, give full support dock stations (for example taking the PCI bus) your lines of book HOUSE, as the series of satellites?

    PS why I want to continue with THAT and only for laptop:
    -I don't want to lose time sync my data back. Hard drives are so huge and have so much data on them, it's a real problem. Therefore, the PC more you - is the biggest problem.

    PPS maybe dynadock with USB 3.0 could be a solution - if it would offer a choice of options of graphics chip. My Dynadock, which I bought with U400, couldn't read clips from Youtube and provide errors accepting the ADSL router Ethernet stream. I had to return the two products to the seller.

    PPS another problem is that no one book has IPS display (with 10-bit color). While SLR cameras have 14-bit color ;-(

    Thank you very much.

    I'm guessing that adding a docking connector would add too much fees for Satellite models, more than 99% of users will probably not use a Docker anyway.

    But there are some models that have a docking connector, Satellite Pro S300 (at least on the models I looked in google).
