Satellite P100 - GPU running hot

• 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 P100 - keyboard is hot

  Hello

  I have a P100 and it generates what I consider excessive heat under the keyboard / laptop frame left keyboard through d/f key and the w key for under the chassis of the keyboard less than less than 2cm.

  I have clean the air inlet and exit of dust, but you can still feel the heat radiated upward from this region, well as soon as you put your hand down.

  Is this normal. ?

  Any help would be appreciated as the laptop is out of warranty. While in the guarantee that she had 3 hard drive replaced and a motherboard, so I was very lucky with the reliability of this laptop.

  Thank you, Denis.

  Hello

  Can keyboard is always hot. This is nothing unusual because the CPU and the GPU cooling modules are placed under the keyboard and there is a dissipation of heat from the cooling modules.

  You should always make sure that your laptop is on the table and that there is enough free space around the laptop to make sure that the cooling modules may work properly.

  If you follow these guidelines, then you should be worried

• No USB2 on Satellite P100

  My Satellite P100-227 running XP SHOULD have 4-Port USB2, but they have always functioned as USB1.

  I've updated with SP3 and chipset updates. Device Manager show controllers USB FIVE, of which four are USB1 and the fifth is USB2 enhanced (is this normal?-no idea what this fifth controller can be). Toshiba support suggest a system restore which seems a bit drastic, and I don't see that it would be useful that I NEVER had the USB2 feature.

  Does anyone else have this problem? All solutions?

  > I don't see that it would be useful that I NEVER had the USB2 feature.
  Even with the original OS that you have with your laptop computer (WXP MCE)?

  Sorry, but I can't believe this. Each recovery image is tested and I can't imagine that there is a problem with the original OS.

• Re: No sound after that computer laptop Satellite P100-160 wakes from sleep

  I have a Satellite P100-160 running Windows 7 32 bit. At the beginning the sound works normally, but after a period in mode 'sleep' there is no sound - all the indicators show the green bars on the rise and fall as if working normally.

  If restarting the laptop the sound back up to an additional period in mode "Eve". There is also no sound through headphones if plugged. I uninstalled the driver and allowed the computer to automatically download the latest driver.

  Can anyone suggest a solution?
  Thank you very much.

  Since when you noticed this strange problem?
  I have way since you installed Win7 or later?

• 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?

• GPU Overclocking on Satellite P100

  Hello

  I have a question.
  I have the Satellite P100 - 10 p. Will I overclock the GPU (is it safe and to see how well will I overclock).
  I have 7900GS and RivaTuner.

  Thanks in advance,

  Jan

  It is nice to hear positive comments, but in my opinion, it is quite risky and the result may be overheating, damage of graphics card or permanent ventilation of cooling running. I just hope that everything will be ok. You have done at your own risk, and if something is wrong you can expect pretty expensive repair costs.

  In any case thank you for your report. Make sure that the ventilation openings are not blocked and the laptop can be cooled properly. Maybe you should put your laptop a little higher and make more distance between the desktop and your laptop. Place on four CDboxes or something similar.

  Good bye

• 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.

  The driver are already obsolete, to some new 3D schedules it has a bad display of structures and so on.

  It would be desirable to learn, when appears in new display driver?

  Hello

  > when will appear in the new display driver?

  Who knows I didn t find any info on the Toshiba page.
  But as far as I know the many laptop models are equipped with the same graphics chip.
  Therefore, you can also try a driver for another model that was equipped with the same GPU chip.

• Satellite P100-120 overheating running Linux Ubuntu 9.10

  Hello world

  I use Ubuntu 9.10 running on a laptop Toshiba Satellite P100-120; I have a problem of overheating and the fan never put to cool my laptop.
  Looking around, I found that several models of Toshiba Satellite have the same problem and I found that the only solution work seems to update the DSDT file by exploiting this feature on Linux kernels (kernel argument acpi = off is not a solution).

  The problem is that the current Linux kernel of Ubuntu distributions can't take no more (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/395239).
  Given that this problem seems to affect many models of Toshiba/people, I don't know that Toshiba has corrected it to a patch of BIOS; is there a reliable to tell me how I can find this patch?
  I think that we need a BIOS patch because I tried to read the DSDT and indeed it includes bugs (if compile you it with the compiler Intel as described, you can find them).

  Commands to show bugs:
  sudo cat/proc/acpi/dsdt > dsdt.dat
  sudo iasl d dsdt.dat
  sudo iasl tcs - a.dsl

  In the case that Toshiba does not provide a patch, can someone suggest me the reasons (I know that Toshiba is not officially compatible with Linux, but today the Linux community should be accompanied by resellers of computers)?

  Thanks in advance

  > In the case Toshiba does not provide a patch...
  That of the problem. Toshiba doesn't support Linux, especially not for this model of laptop, so you have to search solution elsewhere.
  Support Linux costs money, and why do we have if the books are not delivered with Linux.

  In my opinion the best place to find solution or pickup a few tips useful and info is specialized Linux forums and communities.

• Satellite A350 run hot?

  Hello.
  I think the purchase of A350 laptop computer.

  I looked in the staples and it was running hot. Is this normal for Toshibas or was it just this laptop?

  Rogi.

  Hello

  > three of my friends have the same problem with different models
  Just a matter of first;
  The laptop stops automatically during execution of some high performance applications?
  ISN'T IT?
  Well, in this case the temperature is NOT too high because laptops are equipped with different sensors that would require cell phone to automatically close to prevent the equipment from damage!

  You should know that most recent generation of laptop is equipped with high-performance CPU and GPU which create a lot of heat dissipation!
  It is NOT SERIOUS that that's all by running a game or watching a movie, you will notice a higher temperature on all laptops portable computer from the manufacturer

  Sometimes, however, the temperature can appear at a critical level if the cooling modules are clogged with dust and debris. In this case the cleaning of the cooling modules would be useful. I clean my cooling fans with a jet of compressed air.

• Problem running 4,80 Bios Update on the Satellite P100-473

  Hello
  I have a satellite P100-473 enriched with 4 GB of ram, using ubuntu 10.04 lucid 64 with nvidia driver.

  Problem with often increase GPU to high temperature (over 100 ° C) using sensors applet to check.

  I guess that's a BIOS and a driver problem.

  Windows 7 x 64 I don't have this problem with the latest nvidia driver (using speedfan to check the temperature)

  I tried to Flash the bios with the latest version => _Update.exe BD1_BIOS (V4.80) version 4.0, I actually and all flashing same mistake you Error - 121. update of DXE etc...

  While the .exe to extract the contents of the flash on your c:\tmp I'll try a bios flash with a bootable usb key and phlash.exe with the BD13C43. WPH.

  The problem is to find the phlash.exe official back... Phoenix does not provide such tools ;(

  I understand the need of simple bios flash on windows... but I don't understand the .iso missing for flashing at the start when the operating system does not match...

  If you have an idea thanks ;)

  Toshiba has offered traditional old BIOS updated (diskette), a long time ago. Now you can find WIN updates only.
  You can try to contact the closest service Toshiba and ask if they have traditional BIOS update.

• Satellite P100 - cannot play games and it get hot

  Hello

  the first im sorry for my bad English.

  MY LAPTOP

  Satellite P100-324
  Modell Nr.: PSPA6E-02R01FGR

  http://de.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/JSP/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=de&BV_UseBVCook ie = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 120519

  MY PROBLEM

  I can't play computergames long because the GET "Nvidia Geforce go 7900 gs ' so hot. The frames per second reduced by half for example 100 fps-> 50 frames per second. He get a little colder and after 5 minutes more. I read that tmore people have this problem but I can't find a very good answer.

  I have installed the latest driver for my graphics card with the correct .inf and I expect a day of bios but Toshiba updated those isn't available.

  In my opinion is the best solution to find a tool that control the speed of the fan, but I can't find one.

  Why doesn't the fan at full power? If the graphics card is not so hot and cut the clock in two.

  (1) find the latest version of the bios - looking (Toshiba does not work)
  (2) install the latest driver for the graphics card - completed
  (3) clean - finished

  but no one really works!

  I thank very you much.

  Good bye

  Hello!

  In your case I would clean the fan with compressed air jet. You can buy this by a local computer dealer and could blow the dust from the cooling fans. In this case, it s not necessary to disassemble anything.

  Make sure that there is sufficient free space around the laptop for a good air circulation.

  Good bye
