Satellite P100 GPU fan turns costantly at low speed?

Finally something strange happened on my laptop and I wonder if even happened to other users of P100 series laptop. All of the sudden GPU fan began to operate at low speed all the time. Before he reached 60 ° C and then had shrapnel short until it cooled down to 50 ° C and the order. But now it runs at very low speeds and temperatures are around 48 C. It is not noticeable and I'm very happy with what (it should be like that from the start).

Now I wonder what could have triggered that. Do you have bios that has changed (I have the latest 2.40). At the beginning when I changed the computer bios worked as before, but then at some point I changed muffler in performance mode and since that day, the GPU fan runs constantly. I tried to change it to silent mode, but the GPU fan runs all the time. My laptop is P100-115 (Geforce 7600)

Hello

Looks like you re a happy with the use of the fan.
I think that the new BIOS has been changed and that's why he has better influence on the performance of cooling module and so it works at very low speed. I think it is much better than the rotation of the fan restless.

As you have already mentioned the Toshiba power saver controls the speed of the CPU and cooling method. If these settings could affect the cooling of laptop.
But believe me; It of much better to have the constant low temperature and fans completely.

  • Satellite Pro P100 GPU Fan off or full speed after updating the Bios to 4.20

    Hello

    After installing the "nine" update Bios 4.20 the GPU fan is when the laptop is cool. While working with him the GPU temperature increases up to 100 ° C (very hot), then the fan starts to run at medium speed and the GPU is cooled. After a restart, for example. the next day, the fan still works on the average speed or high (very noisy). With the bios version before this problem appeared.

    Someone at - it the same problem with his laptop?
    Someone there done the update of the Bios before 4.20 and can send it to me?

    Hi guys

    May I ask which graphics drivers are you using?
    If you n t use the original graphic driver on the site of Toshiba and the laptop can starts overheating. Non - Toshiba GPU led don t support protection against overheating as the drivers of Toshiba! If the temperature of the GPU would rise to a higher level, then the pilot would diminish GPU performance to reduce the heat.
    Drivers graphic non-Toshiba don t control it and therefore the GPU could produce more heat.

    Another reason for this problem could be changed to value of table fan.
    I think that the cooling modules run faster and more often because the table fan has been changed in the BIOS. It may be necessary to prevent the overheating of the material.

  • Satellite P100 - GPU running hot

    Hey, I am concerned about my graphics card.

    He performs regularly at 90 degrees Celsius + charge very little or no, even with a cooler pad.

    The fan physically works particularly well at boot however when using the fan remains at a very low speed and has little air flow.

    I want my fan to go as fast to ensure optimal air flow and a longer life for my graphics card.

    Is it possible that I can adjust the speed of the fan on the graphics card and the CPU would no more hurt.

    This becomes a problem when I play games, I have to express more low of all the parameters to the strict minimum, just to keep under or just the Red temperature range, if the fan comes to pass that would be nice.

    I also have it on a USB cooling block but I don't think he can compensate completely for the fans not working.

    What file do you have in the zip file.

    Normally before installing a new driver graphic, you need to remove the old, restart your computer and then you can install the new.

    New display you driver n t need newer BIOS, but you can always update.

    Hello

    I am running Linux (Gentoo) on my P100-217 (Geforce 7600). The graphic card fan never turns on, and the GPU gets to a temperature higher than 100 ° C when executing some 3d games. When I boot to windows, the graphics fan does not turn and the GPU is much cooler, running the same games.

    Can someone Toshiba please give me some information on how to solve this problem under Linux.

  • Satellite 1905-S303 - fan turns on every 2 minutes

    Hey guys, thanks for your help in advance.

    I just noticed that my laptop fan lights quite often.

    I have a Satellite 1905-S303.

    How many times you ask? -The fan runs about every 2 minutes, and then it stays on for about 1 minute. (So the cycle takes about 3 minutes). Things continue to go all the time, even if the computer does nothing.

    Other than that, the seams fine computer. The computer does NOT turn off overheating.

    Is this normal?

    I just noticed this and can't remember if it has always done this. (Although I don't think)

    PS - I tried dusting the gills of the computer with compressed air, but nothing has changed.

    Other than that, the seams of the computer to function very well.

    Thank you guys!

    > I just noticed that my laptop fan lights quite often.
    I don t think it would be a bad thing
    The point is that the fan lead on if a certain level of temperature has been reached.
    This is nothing unusual.

    I have the same problem, but I can control my Toshiba Power Saver cooling modules so I can set the parameters of battery optimized in order to reduce the speed of the fan.

    Maybe you could do that too.

  • 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.

    Good bye

  • No GPU fan after upgrading the BIOS to 4.2 on Satellite P100-434

    Hi, I upgraded my BIOS today to version 4.2 and since the GPU fan only works during the splash screen, and once Vista has loaded, it never runs again, in addition, the CPU fan turns at a constant speed, and the screen has "shifted" to the right, so I quarter of the right hand of the screen on the left.
    As you can imagine, it's a little annoying, and to say that the GPU temp is 65deg. with 90deg all about processors. not too good for the material.

    Is could someone PLEASE tell me how I can downgrade the BIOS?

    I have fans and fences etc. are all and free from dust.

    I do turn all the appropriate toshiba of specific drivers, and I even tried to reinstall the NVidia one card.

  • Satellite P100-324: the Fans are still running

    Hi to you all,.

    Maybe you can answer me the question.
    Is it normal that my laptop fans are still running. I put the 'silent' settings in the bios and forced the laptop to run always on 1000 MHz, if I only use it for writing
    in Word or reading emails.

    It's really annoying. I don't know what to do.

    Thankz for your help in advance

    Michael

    Hello Michael

    It is nothing unusual that cooling fan runs constantly on low speed. On modern laptops, there is a powerful hardware that needs to be cooled correctly. Especially many different processes are active in the background and CPU is standing under pressure. Not much when you use just the laptop for writing, but obviously enough to increase the temperature of the CPU.

    Try it please set the CPU and cooling to a minimum level method. Also check the Task Manager and end the process, you don't need. Maybe this will help!

  • GPU fans to work on Satellite P100-429 (Nvidia) on Linux

    Hello

    I have a P100-429... and managed to get the GPU fan to work. As most of you probably know, we edit the DSDT in order to get its work under Linux (and these laptops). There, another fix that also allows the GPU fan work. Mine seems to be on low-speed all the time and the Nvidia display configuration application now the temp to be less than 50 c most of the time, so before he went up to 75 or more.

    In any case, I've posted my DSDT updated at: http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/edit.php?manufacturer=Toshiba&name=Satellite+P100-429

    NB I use also of the Bios version 3.30.

    I found the solution on the French site, I had to interpret slightly.

  • Satellite P100-145 GPU fan does not work!

    Hello

    Is there a solution to this problem yet? He started only since I upgraded my wood to 3.80. The base gets so hot on the right side and it is even radiant heat through the top panel on which my wrist/hand rests.

    Not to mention it will slowly destroying components inside. I was running a game more early to test the fan and it would not turn on just once! It was so hot! At least 100 deg/c!

    I am wanting to downgrade the bios but cannot find anywhere on the sites of toshibas. Can someone provide me please with details on how to get a bios earlier? 2.40 would be great. Back to factory settings and especially on FAN!

    I have the Satellite P100-145. It was great at first... until I found some problems due to the design.

    Help, please

    Hello

    It may seem a little weird, but you can repeat the update of the bios? After this, reinstall the latest display drivers available from the toshiba driver download page. Maybe it just s driver related, so you should give it a try...

    And Don t forget to give some feedback if it succeeded.

  • Satellite P100-324 - GPU overheating due to fan does not work in the operating system

    Hello world.

    While trying to solve the problem of RAM of 4 GB ([this thread | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=28374&tstart=0]), I meet another weird thing - gpu overheating due to fan does not work in the operating system.

    Now, I restored the XP MCE using the Toshiba Recovery and I was VERY surprised to see that the problem still exists! As soon as loading the system GPU fan stops, and there is only tranquility. The application load is heavy on GPU and reaching 104 results by reducing its GPU and MEMORY clock values and NOT in the activation of the fan.

    The same thing happens in 64-bit gentoo. ACPI can be turned on or off, it is not serious, the GPU fan always dies as soon as the system load. In non-OS environments (bios, program of recovery, etc.) the fan works fine, GPU cooling from time to time.

    This problem occurs in versions of BIOS: 2.40, 4.00, 4.20.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, since this laptop is my main working tool and I can't let go 14 days (service).

    I saw in your other thread that you have updated the BIOS and you have installed several different OS.

    Fact is that the BIOS v 4.2 package contains BIOS 32-bit and 64-bit OS.
    Your laptop has been preloaded with Win XP MCE 32 bit. Please use the 32-bit BIOS if the original XP MCE running on the laptop.

  • Satellite P105 - GPU overheating as fan does not work

    I brought a Satellite P105 - S9337 laptop computer around a year ago and it's been great, but I had a problem that began a few months ago. The GPU fan does not run under windows or any OS. It works correctly in the BIOS, but when I hit the operating system, it will stop. This is obviously the cause for overhead.

    -J' tried different drivers of Toshiba and other sources. Currently using 7.15.11.5666 which was the last version of Toshiba.
    -Tried all BIOS and running 4.40.
    -Cleaned it if sure there is no dust blocking the fan wheel.
    -I even sent to Toshiba for repair 4 times and it comes back with the same question.

    It's as if the fan control is equal to change the operating system when it reaches him like bios and basic OS (dos, the flash media bootable back past) works very well. It runs when she is hot and stops when it is ok.

    At the moment that I leat overheating for a while then he seems to remember he's a fan after 30 minutes or more and comes into play. It works on OS at full speed, until my laptop loses power or I unplug battery, that I did today to increase the RAM.

    There must be some drivers or BIOS out there that allows the BIOS to manage the fan or it just as it manages itself is so it doesn't overhead. I'm not pleading can someone help me with what it's getting very boring. e-mail is [[email protected]] If you want to contact me, because I'm out of ideas.

    If I can't get this resolved I'm thinking of dismantling and wiring of the fan on but would prefer to avoid that for now.

    My laptop (P100-481) was overheating too since I have updated BIOS 4.20 and above all. The latest version of the BIOS with work-fan control was 4.00.

    There are two ways to set the fan control:

    1 go to BIOS 4.00. You'll get stuttering in games because the initialization of GPU in the form of Versions all 3.30 to 4.00 are buggy.

    2. you can try this way: [http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/forum/index.php?s=679696d192a1f43137253716ebd799b8&showt = 19190 CIPO & view = findpost & p = 79039]

    It's not easy install a double Windows, but it worked for me.

    There is a bug in the BIOS 4.20 4.30 and 4.40 and a lot of people have trouble with the GPU fan. So hopefully Toshiba find time to fix it in the near future.

  • For Satellite P100 fan controller

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite P100 PSPA6A-01J017
    Dual processor Intel t2400 (1.83 GHz)
    NVIDIA gForce GO 7900 GS 512 MB
    1gig ram
    Under Widows XP PRO - SP2

    I searched the forum for a fan controller, with a poor result. I downloaded Notebook Hardware Control 2.0 and other similar monitoring software.
    Still, I can't control the fan. I often have my laptop on my lap, making the heat more worrying than the noise, the music is always enabled for max :)
    So if there is any way I can control the fan to work more and cool the CPU even faster, that would be great.
    I slowed down temp around 60 degrees now and the area on the side left (WSAD) is very hot.
    If I can change some thermal Tables or force the fan to operate on Max would be great. Anything to bring the fan to the top.

    In my opinion, no need to buy a cooling pad, as the fan must be turning at high speed if it does not, then I must consider that as a second option.

    Greetings and thanks

    Hello

    It is a book of very high performance with high CPU and powerful graphics card.
    All the features of this produce a lot of heat. Also, I saw on the page of Toshiba, the laptop is very mobile and easy to use in all situations.
    How the circulation of fresh air should work properly? Fans and cooling modules must turn to ensure good cooling.

    In any case, on my laptop Toshiba Toshiba energy saver is responsible for cooling and control of the CPU module.
    I think the same thing on you laptop. Check the settings in the energy saver and set it up.
