Satellite M50-130: stop during the game due to overheating
Hello
I need help on how I can lower the temperature of my laptop, once every hour while I play some new games, like NFS Most Wanted or Age of Empires 3 the computer become extremely hot and then easy to stop after a few minutes.
It is not acceptable that a laptop that came with an adapter of good graphics like mine suffers for this kind of problem.
I am just experienced something like that on hot days now in the summer.
Today, I try to lift the computer on the table to make more space for fresh air to circulate under the laptop to see if it still happens.
In any case, I look forward to some information or something I could do to avoid such problems.
Any help you could give will be helpful.
You, tank
Marcelo
Hi Marcelo,
It's unfortunate, but the newer games tend to make your notebook work rather hard with graphic intensive activity and also high CPU usage. The result final is that these very hot components and there is very little space inside your laptop for the heat to escape.
The end result is that the laptop protection circuits cuts the power to avoid damaging the components. The only practical steps you can take are to ensure that sufficient air can circulate through the fans and CPU/GPU cooler to try to dissipate the heat.
Ensure that the fan and radiator areas are completely free of accumulated dust and debris and make sure that there is sufficient space under the laptop and in the area of air outlets so that hot air is not trapped in the place.
Finally, you can run your games at low resolutions graphics to reduce the amount of work that the GPU is having to do even though it may well ruin the graphics otherwise excellent who can produce your laptop.
Kind regards

Satellite Pro A10 stops during the installation of Windows
I have a satellite Pro A10, which stops during the installation of Windows. The installation gets to the part where I need to select the HARD drive to install, then the system off just. I can restart it immediately, and the sdame happens.
If I enter the BIOS, everything is detected OK, and I've updated to the latest version (V1.4). Also when in the BIOS, the system will remain under tension for ever and a day! and no downtime. I have a couple of diagnostic CD, then run the tests is the same thing, but I ran the seagate diagnostic tool and the HDD OK passes, as does the main map, but cannot perform detailed testing that the system shuts down during the tests.
I suspect an overheating issue but would like advice.
Hmmm it s very strange. I thought that the HARD drive could malfunctions but it of very impossible if the HARD drive has passed the Seagate diagnostic test.
However, it would be very interesting to know if the installation of the OS would end with another HARD drive.
You know, it of always difficult to provide an exact solution without any diagnostic tests.For me, it really looks like a hardware malfunction. So perhaps it would be advisable to contact the authorized Toshiba maintainer for a control of the laptop.
Guys could run tests and would situate the fault quickly. -
Satellite A500-026 overheats and stops during the game
Hey guys, any help would be appreciated.
My 026 has recently started to overheat and stopping at random during video games. I can't even run TF2 to learn more, then one hour unless he suddenly died on me. It is never used for this months of use.
I can assume there is a problem with my video card. I tried to download drivers to Toshibas site and the latest versions of Nvidia without change. I've already booked a Mobilecare service, I wanted to just evaluate what might be the possible problems.
Hello
Maybe this problem of high temperature of s.
High temperature causes a closing down in order to protect the equipment against damage.
But the question is why the temperature increases to critical level?
One of the reasons could be a page nvidia graphics card driver. Such driver does contain protection against overheating. Therefore, use the driver of Toshiba page.
I see that you did
Well, the laptop seems to be a new a .so usually dust should not be a problem and fans should work properlyA tip; Please make sure that you have enough free space around the laptop to ensure good air circulation.
However, I recommend asking an ASP in your country for verification may be what he s hardware related issue.

Satellite X 200-F stops during the game
Hi guys,.
I am a happy owner of a beautiful X 200-F for almost a year, and never had any problems with it.
Last night, I was playing a heavy 3d game in the night in a room at near 30 ° C (we do not have a lot of conditioners of Air in France, it is not so hot, usually).
So after an hour or 2 of battle in my laptop forged Alliance made a stop itself instantly, and it was because of overheating.
I would make an egg on the back cover if I wanted :DI confess that I was playing in my bed, and it's not the best to do in summer, but I just want to know what is the critical temperature of the GPU that trigger the hard stop?
And the temp of the CPU max?I checked & do all my usual test I didn't lose any performance of these two CPU & GPU.
Thanks to new Toshiba laptop robust I'll be more careful next time ^^
And thanks for your replies,
Grettings from France
Best regards

Hello
Ok. It was a hot day, you've played the game of high performance, and you used the laptop in bed
Good boyfriend I don't wonder that your laptop overheats and shuts automatically.
First of all you shouldn't t use the laptop in bed, as this is very dangerous for the material of the laptops. Cooling modules may not work correctly if the vents are blocked and there is no air circulation.
Secondly the phone automatically stops to avoid internal parts such as the CPU or GPU from damage.
The high internal temperature can lead to hardware failure, so my advice is very simpleDon t use the laptop in bed, but still on the table. Also, check that there is enough free space around the laptop. It is important to make sure that air can circulate properly.
See you soon

Qosmio X 500 stop during the game - but only on the external power supply!
Hello.
Since I updated my BIOS to 2.9 I had this HUGE problem. And now, I created a user here, in the hope of my colleagues advice owners of Toshiba.
Let me cut it, as it's enough for me confused.
I bought the computer in March 2010 - is still under warranty.
I updated the BIOS from 2.8 to 2.9. I always kept my computer up to date with the latest drivers Toshiba - and is still.
But now, after update BIOS, all of a sudden, my computer shuts down, rotates instantly, as if someone pulled the cord and there is no battery attached.
But it happens that whenever I start a GPU really requiring program/application. It is not happed when I use the computer for all the days of the things or watch movies etc.I put it well 3DVantage and of course, it crashed.
BUT!
If I pull the rope and let it run on battery - even if the performance that comes out is less - it does not crash, never, in any game that would break if I had the string attached.
I was in touch with Toshiba service in Scandinavia - I live here and they couldn't tell me what was the problem, but they were pretty sure that it was not related to the BIOS, because while I was talking to them, I installed 2.8, and it's the same thing.
It has been sprayed, treated and some more with compressed air, and if there is no dust left, it would be like concrete. I ran the game in windowed mode, while having Speedfan running, the temperature will never be greater than 65 degrees Celsius. So it isn't heat related.
I used 3DVantage to test the CPU and see if that too would break, once again nothing.I think the long terms of workload. The GPU goes off when the workload exceeds a certain percentage/voltage/whatever and something in the BIOS which controls it, changed or left unchanged and there for is not skilled with the rest of the updates to the BIOS.
Or maybe the problem is not BIOS related? is it something else? I'm really confused and the fact that I can use it for simple tasks, only confuses me even more - so this is only a part of the graphics card which is damaged?Even if it is under warranty, wait 10 days (if I'm really, really lucky, like place I bought it, is not exactly known for good service condition) is the last option.
This explanation is rather long, but I'm not not short versions, and if you feel like I left something, say so, and I'll do my best to provide you with information.
Thanks in advance!
Nikolaj.Post edited by: n_larsen - typos.
> Speedfan shows also a tab called Temp1 - ACPI... It may be offtopic, but what is?
When I order the windows event log, it shows some errors about ACPI: (translated by myself from Danish)Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) specification is an open standard and defines independent interfaces for hardware discovery, configuration, power management and monitoring.
66 temperature is not too high so I n t think that automatic shutdown of the bottom are related to temperature.
I have your case, I recommend reinstalling the OS window once more; install the operating system preinstalled Toshiba using the recovery disk.
Then check the features of the laptop. I mean that you should not install any other software before checking the laptop. In many cases 3rd party software could lead to problems of different laptop then you should check the laptop using factory settings. -
Blue screen and stop during the game the sims 3 - BCCode 116
Before that I got sims 3, I got a new graphics card - NVidia Geforce 9500gt 1 GB which I installed the latest graphics for drivers.
My specs are:
AMD Athlon 64 x 2 dual core 5000 + 2.60 ghz processor
2 GB of Ram
Hard drives 320 GB x 2 (1 is external) - I have a lot of free space, this one is not even half fullpower supply: 350W (minimum for 9500gt I know)
32 bit Vista Home premium
Right, when I play usually after 10 minutes, it crashes, sometimes just black screen but also sometimes with a blue screen with a prompt to close. I lowered the graphics settings in the game, it still happens. I uninstalled the sims 3, the drivers, and then installed the new driver then the sims 3, no change.
BCCode: 116
BCP1: 87E74510
BCP2: 8CAC6150
BCP3: 00000000
BCP4: 00000002
OS version: 6_0_6001
Service Pack: 1_0
Product: 768_1
Information about the server: 5614db18-1ef4-4d21-bd8b-c2946f0e4d9d
I know that bbcode 116 is a graphics driver issue but I have the last! It seems to be other people with the same problem especially with the sims 3, but no answers. I was afraid that my food wasn't enough, but this error is not suggesting that this is? I've heard rumors, it's a bug of the game, but not everyone has this problem.
Please help, thanksI have now solved the problem after that talk with pny card - update of the bios manufacturer worked. I tried manually first and failed, but then found that my motherboard driver disks came with a program update that did it for me and I managed to play an hour of sims 3 without worries.

Satellite 1900 203 stops during the bios update
I downloaded the BIOS update for my Satellite 1900 203 and put it in the floppy drive. the problem is that when updating the computer suddenly stops.
I think the problem is in the software, but I can't get a solution of it...
FredHello
I would not recommend to download and install the BIOS on Toshiba Canada website!
As far as I know your laptop was designed for the European market and you should always use the driver, BIOS of the Toshiba site European and tools!But I agree with dnf666. If the laptop works properly it s not necessary to update the BIOS!
And note: the bad BIOS or bad BIOS can damage the module ROM!On the Toshiba page, you will find a teaching how BIOS should be updated on several models of laptops!

Did the removal and easy replacement? Are there instructions please?
I have a horrible feeling that there may be data recovery for the operating system on a hidden in the drive partition.Is this correct? May only be transferred to a new hard drive?
Thank you very much

keyboard is as I am now a key and will not stop repeat during the game
During the game on the internet keys I have insisted is "locked" and will continue to do the same operation repeatedly. How can I fix the problem?
During the game on the internet keys I have insisted is "locked" and will continue to do the same operation repeatedly. How can I fix the problem?
The keys on which? For example, a common symptom is having some modifier keys seems to "stick" after they have been used in a repeat operation. The solution is then to press and release the opposite modifier. For example if a Ctrl key seems to be stuck and you know that you use RightCtrl - in a repeat operation, press and release - LeftCtrl. Etc.

Drivers XP for Satellite M50 - 130 PSM51E required
Hello
I think I may have made a big mistake.
An elderly parent gave me his Toshiba Satellite to "clean". I just ahead and reinstalled XP Home on thinking that I could simply reinstall all drivers by downloading the Toshiba web site. (as I have done for other portable parents)
XP Home installed using an existing drive and use the MS code on the label under the lap top.
However, I am now very nervous because I can't find the drivers on the Toshiba web site for this product and I have a load of unknown/other devices in Audio/video/ethernet/mass storage device manager.
I took a guess at the wireless driver and have wifi work so I'm online and you have activated Windows.
Can someone point me in the right direction for all drivers please.

Satellite M50-130 with keyboard problem
When my Satellite M50 starts, typing in the password box is not a problem, the sound when I reach this point and try to type in word or in internet explore or play a game.
The same key cannot be presses twice in a row. For example, to type WWW I must press W, wait a second, then press W again and so on, otherwise it only type 1 W.The same thing with all the keys and I can not play with the arrow keys as you can not, for example, not side twice in a game as I have the same m key in quick succession.
Any ideas? Cheers, Jim
Hello Jim
My colleague from work the same As model of mobile and he uses it to Web design and type a few codes to our database. From time to time, I'm sitting near his office and several times I looked at what he do exactly. Believe me that there are no such problems.
It is important to say that his book is preinstalled with recovery image and slightly modified for our enterprise security needs.
Can you please tell us since when you noticed this problem with keyboard? Are you also using recovery image and have you ever tried to fix this somehow? Have you noticed any other strange questions about your Satellite phone as a disk busy, high utilization of the processor or something similar?

Satellite A100-906: stop in 3D games
Hello, I need consultation before I take my laptop to the service center.
my model is A100-906. and when I play games with 3d in some time my computer stops instantly. no errors nor that it recharges. just close. When I turn it on again, everything seems normal, without any of the etc error messages.
Please if anyone knows what to do tell me.
I run a few test utilities, for the CPU and stable memory, so its seems to be ok.
so I think that the problem of graphics card...
Hello
It happens that when you play strong performance?
Have you noticed a higher temperature?For me it s like to overheating. During the games of high performance, the CPU and the GPU works with maximum performance and produce a lot of heat. If the temperature drops until a threshold, the portable computer shuts down to prevent damage.
It is very important that the cooling modules may work properly. Don't forget that there is enough free space around the laptop for air circulation.
Don t jam grids cooling!Of course, update of the graphics driver is always desirable because games always has the latest versions of the driver.

G505S overheating during the game
I had the G505S for 2 days and have been using it to play Football Manager 2014. However twice during this period, he stopped because it has overheated. When I turn back the fan kicks in and a little heat serious out and dissipates after about 5 minutes.
I downloaded HWMonitor indicating approximately 90 c at idle, however the AMD Overdrive program reports about 42 c idling.
I just installed the latest updated BIOS and made the changes to this link (http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-prevent-your-laptop-from-overheating-windows-7/) recommended to reduce the CPU power to 98% to stop overclocking, but is there anything else I should do? Is the faulty laptop fan is not kicking in and out to try to cool down during the game?
Hi Phil,
This is normal because the game is running and full GPU is used, if the temperature rises more than normal. I suggest to contact one of our authorized Service Center nearest you and make sure you use the laptop by placing it on a flat surface for proper ventilation.
Publish us back for other queries.
Best regards
