Satellite M60-162 cooling fan

Dear users of Toshiba,
is it normal that my Satellite M60-162 new cooling fan is often turned on and off with the normal energy profile selected in the toolbar State Windows XP?
Sometimes I want to turn off my Satellite only because I'm confused on the noise generated by the cooling fan!

Kind regards.

Hi Fabrice,.

Yes, it is quite normal that your fan to kick in all few minutes (my A30 will systematically even if only displays the desktop).

Toshiba power settings usually have a 'silent' option which helps to reduce the volume of fan activities (by slowing down the speed of the CPU) that can help, but it is still likely that the fan lights from time to time.

Excessive activity and the fan noise is a common problem that is often discussed in this forum and is probably the result of trying to put as much of hardware and software in such a small case.

Kind regards

  • Satellite M60-162: problem gambling (game)

    Hello
    I bought a Satellite M60-162 to use for work and a bit of entertainment (including games).
    It happens that all types of game, I installed (Medal of honor, C & C Generals, Nba live 2005, MS Flight simulator 2004) breaks down when it is run (just click on 'play' and after a while, the game crashes). The installation program ends normally, but every game crashes.
    The only game that works is 'The elder scrolls III - Morrowind '.
    I have updated with patches - if available - all games without any profit.
    I also updated the graphics (Ati mobility radeon 700) driver and installed the DirectX 9 .0c. Nothing has changed.
    Finally, I ran a test for the graphics system (3D Mark 360) to check if there were hardware problems. All tests have passed.
    I don't know what I could do to remedy this situation.
    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Hello

    Believe me it's not easy to say why it happens.
    It could be a driver problem or a software problem (game). The only way to know why it happens is to test the device with different settings. Try using a lower screen resolution during the games. Try to change the game settings.

    Windows XP performance settings that affect the visual appearance of the operating system, most of the games have buried in their menus of Options graphic settings. The trick is to find them.

    I found a very useful and interesting article how to optimize the parameters of play for performance and looks. Please click the link:

    Hello

    Satellite M60-162 appeared a transparent white vertical stripe on the screen of my laptop. The band is present at startup in the BIOS and in normal operation of the computer. How can I fix?

    No doubt with the replacement of the screen.

  • Satellite Pro C650 - cooling fan does not work

    My Satellite Pro C650 overheats and stops automatically within 20 minutes of leaving upwards. I checked the CPU fan and noticed that it does not turn upward, even if the laptop would become very hot. I tested the fan with a 9 volt battery and it works perfectly.

    Can someone tell me exactly what the problem is? And how to solve it.

    Thank you.

    > Can someone tell me exactly what the problem is?
    On this virtual path, no one can say with certainty what the problem is. We can only speculate what may be the problem.
    Usually, cooling fan starts immediately after starting the laptop slows down and offers the optimum temperature of material. After reading your ad I didn t understand how it works. He turns and there is no sign of life?
    Problem can be power.
    Cooling fan will be controlled by sensors of temperature and activity depends on the temperature of the material but if your machine cooling fan does not work, I imagine that there is no electric power.

  • Satellite L755-11j - cooling fan seems to have stopped working

    Hello

    I have the model Satellite L755-11j and I'm really happy with it, strong, fast and reliable, I have only one problem: my cooling fan seems to have stopped working.

    I don't know if it's a hardware or software (BIOS is set to dynamic switch, and in the power management is set to 'Active') delivers, because I come from Croatia, diagnostic PC is incredibly overpriced here and I can replace the fan on my own.

    I want to just make sure I don't buy new cooling fan and my problem persists. Install speedfan and Toshiba PC health monitor only confirmed what I suspected, my laptop gets hot.

    I bought the external cooling fan to help keep the temperature of my laptop down, but with the coming of the summer that I really want to solve this problem.

    To be honest, it is not easy to help you with this. Is that cooling fan works automatically and there is not a special option where you can control. Only thing you can change is the cooling method option that you can find in the advanced power options > Toshiba power saver.

    Check it please what option is set to on. Of course on this virtual path, it is not easy to tell if the cooling fan is defective or not.
    It works or not? Can you notice hot air flow when you put your hand on the cooling grill placed on the left side of your laptop?

  • Satellite L650-1GF - cooling fan runs every 3 minutes

    Last week, I bought a Satellite L650-1GF. Everything is fine except the noise from the cooling fan. Especially because it works almost every minute to cool the carrots. There is an annoying sound hum which takes about 10 seconds and is repeated every 3 minutes approximately.

    I checked with "Speedfan". The temperature of the hearts is fluctuating between 32 and 37 C. And at about 37 ° C, the fan speed to cool the computer.

    Two questions:
    1 is this normal that the cooling fan starts cooling to 37 ° c.
    2. is the annoying noise of the fan normal for this model of Toshiba?

    And what is acceptable, can I find examples to compare with what I feel here somewhere? I saw a lot of cell phones so far, but none of the cooling fans made a buzzing sound like this.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite A135-S4666 - cooling fan turns on and turns off every 20 seconds

    Hello

    I'm from the Argentina... I just bought a new Satellite A135-S4666 and I noticed that the cooling fan turns on and turns off every 20 seconds.
    It is a little annoying and it disctracts me of what I'm doing... is there a solution?

    Thank you very much.

    Hi Martin,

    This behavior is perfectly normal and nothing to worry about. If you find the noise irritating cooling fans you are likely to change their behavior by using the utility of Toshiba power where you should be able to set the cooling mode to run more quietly. I think trhe default is to allow the CPU to run at full speed, which will, of course, the fans turn every few seconds, but by reducing the speed of the CPU, the heat produced will be lower and therefore the fans will run less often.

    Kind regards

  • On my Satellite P100-347 cooling fan runs all the time

    Hello

    I think I might have a problem with the fan on my Satellite P100-347. He seems to be constantly works constantly and is much stronger than when I bought the computer. Initially he just spent and if so, I think that this could now be wrong.
    Help, please.

    Hi Beata

    I agree with the suggestions of Sanremo; He s I don't known how old your laptop has but from time to time it of necessary to clean the cooling fans. Dust and debris inside the laptop could prevent the cooling modules work properly!
    The fresh air flow is also very important. Don't forget that there is enough free space around the laptop. Do not use the laptop on the lap or in the bed. In this case the laptop cannot be cooled in the right way and the high temperature can damage parts such as GPU to the Board of Directors.

    But if you think that there is a serious hardware problem you must contact the service provider authorized in your country.

    Good luck and greetings to Poland ;)

  • Satellite Pro M70 - cooling fan stopped working

    Hello

    I have a laptop M70, I have recently identified as not very hot when in use. I have now identified that the fan has stopped working.

    Any ideas how I can get this fan, so I give it a clean and check that the connected fan isn't loose etc.?

    Thank you

    Are you sure that your cooling module has stopped working 100%?
    Maybe the cooling module is ok but cannot run with maximum performance and can not cool the CPU correctly because of the dust and debris inside the laptop?
    What do you think of this theory?

    I can tell you that I read a lot of stories and gossip on overheating problems and be more honest to these issues could be solved by cleaning fans.

    I clean my cooling fans from time to time with a jet of compressed air.
    These sprays are professional tools and can be purchased in most dealers specialized computers.

    But if the fan has stopped working and then a jet of compressed air will not help you.
    In this case, a technician must check the laptop.

    Maybe the laptop must completely disassemble to remove and replace the defective part.
    This procedure is really tricky and must be performed by a technician for laptop.

    Good luck buddy

    Help, please.

    CONCERNING

    Hello

    As far as I know, you can find a lot of applications to test and maintain the fan settings.
    But it is very dangerous because by using this software you change the thermal management of your laptop. These programs are not supported by Toshiba, for any damage caused by this program is not covered by the warranty.

    YOU USE THIS PROGRAM AT YOUR OWN RISK!

    The only issue is the Toshiba Service partner, but

  • Satellite A135-S4527 cooling fan works more efficiently

    Hello

    I have an A135-S4527 and the cooling fan is having issues.
    It works at low speed constantly, as it usually does, but almost never, he runs in mode high speed.
    Clearly, it must be that the air temperature is high enough... about the temperature of the exhaust gases from the typical vehicle.

    I'm worried that it will burn upwards if I have not fixed, but I don't know what needs to be fixed.
    I use a "Chill Pad" USB power under him at all times to make it work more fresh than the factory settings, but this problem has arisen only recently.

    I've owned this computer from a little less than two years now.
    5 months in the property, the HARD drive failed and had to be replaced (it goes without saying, I save ALL my important files now).

    Does anyone have information on this topic or the normal functioning of the cooling fan?
    If so, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Nick

    Hello!

    As Akuma, it could be that it takes more dust in the cooling fans or fan doesn t work properly.
    So in your case, I'll try to clean first using a jet of compressed air. This could blow out the dust from the cooling fans. You can buy it at a computer retailer.

    If it doesn't work you should sent to an authorized service provider. Technicians can check your laptop and clean.
    Maybe the thermal compound must be renewed and technicians can do for you. It of a little more difficult to disassemble a computer laptop and you need to remove a large number of screws so he sent to an ASP.

    Good bye

  • Re: Problem on Satellite Z830 of cooling fan

    What is the problem with cooling and fan on my brand-new Z830 Satellite? It is completely unacceptable.

    The computer has NO program running the office bar and the fan is running! His forte, a buzzing and boring! The laptop is on my desk, so cooling is not blocked. How did it pass Quality Assurance?

    When I bought the computer it's BIOS to pre-installed day: 1.60.

    The CPU temperature is 50%. System internal temperature 42%. 48% fan speed!

    How stop the fan coming on bar cut a wire? There must be a function 'stop' somewhere? Why the fan operates continuously at 48%?

    Is this a software or hardware failure?

    I am very disappointed.

    Try it please change cooling option method and assign the optimised battery. This option you can find in the advanced power options.

    This should reduce the activity of fan cooling and laptop will last much more silent than before.

  • Satellite Pro A120 - cooling fan runs constantly

    Hello

    Bought a satellite pro A120 "Intel centrino duo" in January and for the last two weeks, the fan runs continuously. Even when the cold portable OS, it runs complete but even just word processing or done yesterday it runs very hot. I need to access the fan to have a look for dust etc but I couldn't for access!

    If anyone knows how that would be great. Either that or somebody can suggest any way to stop the laptop gets so hot. I tried on mode low power - without change, and it also works on different surfaces, but no change.

    Any help much appreciated. Thank you
    Dougie Freedman

    Hello Dougie

    In my opinion you should not do much and check anything because your laptop is new and under warranty. If something is suspicious to you, please contact your dealer local or much better is to contact directly the authorized services.

    Explain the situation and let it check your laptop.

  • Satellite R830-182 - cooling fan runs constantly

    Hello

    I just bought the R830-182. The fan runs at 100% of the time, from that moment I start. Is it true, that I expect the fan on a laptop to kick when the CPU reaches a certain temperature? It's annoying because it's quite noisy. Also try running the laptop at the lowest possible power - no software no open, WIFI turned off, the management of the standby power battery, the screen brightness turned down etc nothing works.

    Someone out there with the same model knows if it is a problem or simply how this laptop it is supposed to work?

    Try it please change settings option method of cooling. You can find it in power advanced options for the management of the power supply you use.
    Assign the Please optimized battery option. It should reduce the activity of fan cooling.
