• Satellite A350 overheating while game

  Hey everybody,

  I recently moved to windows 7 64 bit about 2 weeks ago. I've been very busy so I havn't had the time to play games since now im not not only busy more I decided to install call of duty modern warfare 2. It was all going great until just 30 minutes later, the laptop gets really hot and just passed away a few minutes later. Now that I think about it, when I got vista 64 bit installed it has NEVER had this problem. It heats up but does not turn off. never, he died. I looked around google, the US site for toshiba and nobody said that in windows 7, the fan does not work as good?

  When I had vista installed, I had the graphics up to high and now even low, it heats upwards and turns off. I switched to windows 7 because I thought it would the computer less lag but then if it turns off as that then it feelsl ike I just spent $100 + on something that I could not do

  Anyone else had a problem like this?
  any help would be appreciated and I think that if there are many other alternatives, I wouldn't switch back to vista since it would be a pain isntalling it again.

• Overheating while game on Satellite C660-11F

  Well, when I bought the laptop, she had a any program that somehow reduced performance, or whatever. When I plugged in the charger while playing FIFA, the game went wrong (don't know how to say), and when I plugged it back it went perfectly.

  After I changed the windows, while playing, overheating to start the laptop and after 2 or 3 matches seemed to blue screen, or he just blocked...

  > When I plugged in the charger while playing FIFA, the game went wrong (don't know how to say), and when I plugged it back it went perfectly.

  In your case, I would try to adjust the settings of the module cooling performance.
  Perhaps the power station which is used for the dough is set to battery as parameters, this means that don t cooling modules run with the best performance in order to save the power of the dough.

  This FAQ should help you find the option:

• Qosmio X 870 overheating while game

  Hello

  I have a qosmio that runs on 95-100 celzius GPU and 85-90 CPU temperatures while 1 day game.
  Then I got shut downs overheating about 9 months later.

  I'm going to the service and they clean and rebonding it, he has not stopped more but temperatures remained.

  20 days later GPU is dead, they replaced, then 10 months later GPU died once again, I heard Burns inside the laptop.

  They have developed a new once again, but after that when I play for 2 hours, screen off somethimes at least once, twice at this time.

  I took the laptop to the service for the fourth time, a few days later they say that they have not yet diagnosed dysfunction.

  But my biggest concern is that the temperatures are high all this time, I read on the forum of A.s.u.s that guy with that kind of temperatures obtained immediately replace, and the new book got 20 degrees low temp.

  Laptop is around the age of 20 months, and my question is:
  am I still entitled for replacement or they will just patch every few months so that the warranty expires:(parce qu'ils sont de rabotage pour réparer de nouveau.)

  I need for video editing, this is why I bought it, and now for the 4th time my bussines is waiting for a week or two.

  Sorry for the long post, im hoping for some response or post where I can request a replacement, thank you.

  > I never receive replacement or they will just patch until a few months before the expiration of the warranty because they plan to fix it again.

  As far as I know Toshiba authorized service partner can only repair the laptop and you must make sure that the laptop will be fixed to your full satisfaction.

  > I took laptop to serve for the fourth time, a few days later they say that they have not yet diagnosed dysfunction. But my biggest concern is that the temperatures are high all the time.

  From my experience, if the laptop will not automatically, closes the temperature level isn't too high. Usually in case of overheating, the laptop must turn off automatically to protect the internal parts of the damage.

  Hello

  It is a year since I bought my laptop (Satellite A665-11Z)

  The problem is that it is overheating, while playing games or browsing graphic intensive sites.

  Accordingly, I even placed on a laptop cooler (Logitech Lapdesk N700) but nothing helps.

  Please let me know why this is happening and what needs to be done.

  Thank you

  What exactly happens? Does laptop freezes or turn off?

  Do you use a power plan high performance all in game?

• 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

• Satellite M40X-230 turns off randomly

  Hello

  My satellite m40x-230 is about 2 years old. Recently, power has been cut out completely Mid-use - for example I watch a movie and suddenly everything power to cancel - it is connected through the ESA and the battery is connected when this happens. If I unplug the AC and the battery and wait a while, then ac and battery back, I can to come back on and it works very well for a while.

  Can anyone suggest what the problem please?

  Thanks in advance.

  Not easy to say with certainty what the problem may be but let us start with an innocuous explanation: I think that this happens due to overheating. Obviously the material temperature has reached the critical level and the laptop turns off simply without any warning.

  It is because of the material. Because of this, the first step, you can do is to clean your laptop. I guess that after two years, there is a lot of dust on the inside and the air flow is blocked.

• Satellite M40X 185 linux live cd, noise and temperature

  Hello

  I just bought a satellite M40X-185. I flashed the bios with success of 1.30 to 1.60. Windows XP home (preinstalled) works perfectly. I found three questions:
  1. when I try to boot from a cd live linux (suse 9.3 dvd, knoppix 3.9 or mandrake move) the system hangs. Any idea of this behavior? With knoppix, it seems to hang while loading driver cardmgr. So I thought it was a problem with the linux cardbus but ultimately suse live driver dvd 9.3 has succedded in load correctly if I disable acpi (command-line ACPI = off). TR is the problem related to M40X material and/or bios version or is it related to linux (the kernel version maybe?). Thank you

  2. it seems to me that coolig system is much more noisy when I use the toshiba power management. If I use win XP default portable power management mode, the computer is much quieter!

  3. is there a way to measure temperatures of system (CPU, MB, GPU, etc...). Previously I have hade a satellite A50 and speedfan (www.almico.com) was able to measure all these parameters.

  Thank you

  Hi Sid

  I'll try to answer best I can.

  (1) maybe the system BIOS is not really what the Linux kernel expects and so stops. Please see the Linux very good page of Toshiba:
  http://newsletter.toshiba-tro.de
  Maybe you will find some tips on Highway M40 Linux ACPI.

  (2) time MS Toshiba power management and power management is supported by the profiles of school boards. Means that you can set according to your need, how the machine should act. In the Toshiba power management, you have many more opportunities than in the version of Ms. In the Toshiba module, you can choose to have machines operating in performance mode which means that it will give priority to the performance (which normally means of cooling by fan) instead of throttling of the CPU in order to limit heat production.
  You can also do the opposite - give priority to silence (fan less and less speed) for the performance.
  Of course there are some other settings as well (screen, disk HARD times sleep and so on).
  I mean, is that the module from Toshiba is probably set up for performance, which means that you get the fan noise. If you like you can set minimum performance and so less noise. It has its advantage the Toshiba module - it is far better to control of the small parameters and levels of breakdown and time. So, you are in more control of your system.
  Sorry for the long lesson - I'm the same at home and he is not popular :)

  (3) sorry - no answer here except that I don't know why anyone would want this. That's enough for me to know that the system controls all of these things by himself and goes off in case of overheating.

• Satellite M40x-250 turns off without warning

  HII everyone,

  Hope you guys can help me. I have an old Toshiba Notebook (Satellite M40x-250).

  I don't know how old exactly, but I think around 4 or 5 years. Ive never had any problem with it, but now its weird action. Recently, I was typing something and suddenly it just turned itself off.

  I waited about five minutes before I restarted and it worked perfectly again.
  Same thing just happened half an hour ago.

  Now his works once again, with no loss of information.
  My laptop is just getting old, or would be - this other problem that could be solved?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  In my eyes it s typical overheating problem
  As you say it s a laptop plus age (4 to 5 years) and I suppose that the cooling fans have not been cleaned since the first day
  I think that there is a lot of dust and debris that prevents the cooling modules to work with maximum efficiency, this can lead to a higher temperature and shut downs.

  The laptop turns off automatically to prevent the equipment from damage
  Clean the fan using a jet of compressed air! In from time to time, and it helps!

• Sam L20-101 or satellite M40X-231? Need your opinion

  Hi, I'm looking for a laptop and I hesitate between the Satellite L20-101 and Satellite M40X-231. I am aware of the differences and would like to hear user experiences.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Well, I think, between these two units, there is no major differences. Both units have a size of drive HARD and similar memory. Only the graphics card has other performance. The L20 has a shared memory graphics card and the M40X has a graphics card with the chip memory own 64 MB. In this case, if you need this device for applications of high-performance graphics (games), I'd buy the M40X. Moreover, I like the nice design of M40X. She very nice unit s :)

  Good bye

• Re: Erratic behavior on Satellite M40X

  Hello

  Very often but not always, when I start the laptop (Satellite M40X - 186 Windows XP SP3), after a while, the Windows Media Player popup window. I got close but it reappears etc... also very often, there's erratic behavior: the keyboard is unusable or the letter etc. which appears on the screen is not bound to the key... or the cursor moves in an irrational way.
  I scanned all the files from virus (Avast tool) I reinstalled XP, updated the ATI driver... but this does not appear to have solved the problem.

  No idea what is the cause of this failure?
  Thanks if you can help

  When you start your laptop computer and enter the BIOS settings, you can use keyboard and go to settings?

• Can I install graphic driver Intel on Satellite M40X-119?

  Dear all, I have Satellite M40X-119 with Mobile Numtxpackets® 915GM/GMS, 910GML Express Chipset Family for the graphics card. I found an update on Intel's web site for the pilot, but it was written that "it is should not be used if the system has a third party graphics card", what does that mean?

  Can I install the driver for my Toshiba laptop or not.
  Thanks in advance

  Hi Marc

  To my knowledge of Toshiba you recommend to use only the graphics drivers from Toshiba and if you want to use the drivers of manufacturing one another so you can do it at your own risk.
  Some people have suggested that the graphics drivers from Toshiba are slightly changed due to overheating of the card. You know, if the laptop cooling modules get a limit of performance of the graphics card driver decreases the performance of the card in order to reduce the temperature.

  I think the original Intel driver does not support this feature and that is why it s advisable to use the drivers from Toshiba.

• Satellite M40x-189 heats up when it is connected to the power adapter

  Hey,.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite M40x-189, which is about 18 months old. Recently, I had too replace the battery, but now it seems that my adapter had fried itself. He refuses now too charge my cell phone for more than a few minutes and the part of the adapter that goes into the laptop becomes ridiculously hot even after a few minutes.

  I can't find where too much to buy a new adapter, I get results, but adapters look totally different, can anyone tell me if Toshiba has changed the cards and where too find a power adapter.

  This may help - adapter PA1650 - T 02:100 - 240V AC 50-60 Hz 65W / 3 pins with 19V DC output.

  Also, I find that on the occasions, my laptop just cut. In the middle of everything what I do, and the laptop itself would become so hot, it can't be touched for a few minutes, interestingly, this only happens when the laptop is charging. This problem is not related too my adapter problem, because its been happening for a good month now.

  Thank you, in advance.

  Hello

  I saw your first thread on the power adapter and that other users already suggested the power adaptor can be ordered from the maintainer authorized Toshiba in your country!
  If you n t know how to find the service provider allowed in your country, please take a look on the homepage of European support of Toshiba. You will find a link to the database ASP.

  As you have already said the laptop automatically stops downs have nothing to do with the AC adapter.
  I agree with you for me, it looks like overheating!
  Usually, this happens if fans and cooling modules cannot run with maximum efficiency.
  Dust may prevent the complete rotating fan!

  I recommend to use the vacuum against the bars of cooling hose to clean the fans!
  It should help!
  But please be careful.

• Satellite M40X - BSOD caused by ATI2DVAG. Win XP SP3 DLL

  Hello

  I have a laptop Tosiba Satellite M40X.

  When the ATI display driver is installed, there is a blue screen caused by a loop of infitive caused by the ATI2DVAG. DLL with the OEM Version of Windows XP, the machine is working no more.

  When a full Windows XP is installed, it is possible to delete all the ATI * hard disk. Then, with a resolution of 1024 * 768, the machine works properly without any problem.

  Once the ATI driver is installed again, the problems reappear. It does not help to download the latest driver from the TOSHIBA Web site. I already have new loades drivers on the net through special but even with that it was not possible to solve the problem.

  It seems to me that the machine works best with the new driver. It was possible to perform the verification of the material (software provided by Toshiba) with no problem, when the new pilot (pilot program) was installed without any problems.

  I could check the Device Manager when the machine was not working properly. There, I saw that there is an interference between the PCI bridge card driver and the ATI driver.

  I am woandering why the problems start (when the ATI driver is installed) just after the start of the machine, even before or while you can see TOSIHBA for the first time. There is no difference if you unplug the machine power and the battery before. This is why I believe that there is a problem that persists when the computer is without energy (BIOS).

  I have already updated to the latest drivers and the latest version of the BIOS (from Toshilba)

  The TOSHIBA support asked me to bring my laptop to test the equipment. But, in my opinion, there is no material damage. The problem is Toshiba and / or ATI.

  Where are the latest drivers?

  Why is it possible to get the version 8 driver ATI by RADAR SYNC when Version 6 is available on the TOSHIBA site at the same time?
  Toshiba does not provide the latest drivers and wants to bring in the laptop for a verification of the material. This service is very good.
  I always wanted to buy a new TOSHIBA but with this kind of service...

  Does anyone have a similar problem or solution for this?

  Greetings

  Markus

  I have a question;

  The M40X is a older laptop and I assume that this issue didn't appear in the past.
  If the laptop has worked with the graphics driver preinstalled, old.
  This means that it is NOT a graphics driver issue but it must relate to another reason.

  > I wonder why the problems start (when the ATI driver is installed) just after the start of the machine, even before or while you can see TOSIHBA for the first time.
  This would mean that this problem occurs because the graphics driver has been loaded and the map graphic with a maximum return.
  And it also means that it is NOT a graphics driver issue but also question of graphics chip.

  I agree with the TOSHIBA support. The said, you should contact the technician for the control of the laptop.
  I recommend the same because as described above this doesn t sound like a software problem!
