Satellite P305D-S8828 - fan runs most of the time

On my new Satellite P305D - S8828 17 "fan seems to work most of the time, fled to 01:45 for: dry then on new 50." I have the schema defined on "balanced" & the unit is based on a cooler aluminium frame (no fans on radiator).

Basically, ventilation under the unit must be very very good compared to flat on a desk. Room temperature. is about 78 F. The unit is basically idling & the fan runs at low speed most of the time. Sometimes it ramps at high speed for about 30 seconds. I can go to Circuit City and check another, but anyone know if this is normal behavior?

I tried a non-Toshiba notebook & I do not remember the fan being audible to all! This laptop was horrible buttons on the touchpad well, so I prefer this Toshiba.

I think that the fan runs up constantly when a movie is playing. I heard a change in BIOS to set the fan turns too, but do not know what is available on this platform. Any help is appreciated, because I can still return unit for something else.

BTW, Wireless G is on, but no traffic running on AC & battery not charging. The fan is sometimes we'RE for: 30 & off at 01:00.
Thank you

Hello

you already updated your BIOS to the latest version? If not already I highly recommend you to do a BIOS update might improve these things like fan control and other equipment low-level things related.

Check this [SITE | http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_home.jsp] for a BIOS update that applies to your machine.

  • 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

  • Satellite U300 will not start most of the time. Fires - OK. BIOS-OK. Rams -?

    Yesterday, I decided to set the default BIOS. After save and exit - screen, black-U300 does load, no TOSHIBA logo on the screen. Only the lights can work.

    I conclude that the BIOS has broken. Today, I tried it reflash with Phoenix Bios crisis recovery 1.0.0.4, but without success. FN + B does not. FN + F, Win + B, Win + F... Similarly.

    BUT! Because I did so many off - power on trials, he had moments that he actually loaded successfully. Let's say it starts at 1 100 times. Once I entered the BIOS and settled before logo (clear blue Satellite on the front) to be disabled. Now whenever I start the laptop, this logo is dark and this brings me to the conclusion that the BIOS is OK, the system reads its settings and logo off.

    Now, it has similarly if remove RAM, or use. Works the same with RAM and without. But sometimes it starts successfully (with RAM, of course).

    When I turn it on, the fan may spin for a while and turns off after one second. If the eave it this way, after a few minutes, it starts to turn again. If there is HARD drive inside - it's light for 3-4 seconds and that's it. If there is a DVD in there - it runs as usual.

    There is another problem with my laptop - sound does not work for months ago. In addition, there are such cases in the past, when my laptop stops responding for some time, but after minutes, everything was normal. This time... he refuses to answer for a long time and I don't know why.

    Do someone know what is happening with my U300?

    Great! Thanks for the comments dude!

  • I can not install XP on Satellite P305D-S8828

    Hello

    I want to install Windows XP (instead of Vista) on my Toshiba Satellite P305D-S8828.
    I boot from the Windows XP CD, it not the usual analysis, but it does not acknowledge any HARD drive on the laptop, so I can't continue the installation.
    Do I need some special HARD drive drivers to be installed during XP installation?

    Hello

    You have two options;
    You will switch the AHCI compatible mode in the BIOS or you install the SATA drivers for chipset AMD.

  • Satellite M30 slow start, running slow & on most of the time HARD disk activity led

    The question above with my laptop. It is used to run faster than my desktop, but has altered performance. Running XP SP2 and Norton Internet Security and Norton System Works. No error shows when executing the Tests of Norton. Have reformatted the hard drive and reinstalled software but little difference.

    Laptop takes @5 minutes to start. Open Outlook takes 10 seconds. Drive light is on most of the time so I was wondering if the hard drive related.

    Any ideas?
    Thank you very much.

    Try the freeware like HD Tune or HDD Health programs.
    These applications provide some information on the State of the HARD drive.

  • Satellite A100-784 (PSAANE) - CPU is 100% most of the time

    Hello

    I have this Toshiba Satellite A100-784 and it has Vista Home Basic as the operating system. The CPU is at 100% most of the time, and I don't know what to do more (I've eliminated all unnecessary programs that might have a background process). Sill, form 100% of the CPU, the core load takes 40 to 60% most of the time.
    I thought to install XP to make it work, but after reading the forum is not that simple, due to the fact that the HARD drive can be SATA.

    Can you help me with this situation? I can hardly work on this laptop and I think to change the brand if I don't find a solution to this, even Toshiba is my favorite.
    Thanks for your time answering this problem.

    Kind regards!

    All you have done is just, but you must understand that no one knows here Setup OS and what you've done in the past.
    If you are not satisfied with the way in which your laptop is now running the best thing you can do is to back up all your important data and install Vista using delivered Toshiba Recovery CD/DVDs.

    After doing this you will own preinstalled OS and everything should be OK again.

  • Drivers XP for Satellite P305D-S8828, ATI Radeon 3100

    Hello

    I just installed XP SP3 instead of Vista on my Toshiba Satellite P305D-S8828. But now, my problem is that I can't find a driver for the video card Ati Radeon 3100. I searched Toshiba Download Center, ati download center and I googled for a few hours, but without result.

    Any idea where I could get the driver?

    Thans,
    Dan.

    Hello

    AFAIK that ATI Radeon 3100 graphics card was also installed in other laptops.

    For example, the card has been installed in this European series from Toshiba:

    Satellite L300D PSLC8E
    Satellite L300D PSLE8E
    Satellite Pro A300D PSAK9E
    Satellite Pro L300D PSLC9E

    Check the laptop series above and maybe you will find an XP driver.

  • Satellite A100 (PSAA8) - Cannot play most of the games

    Hello

    my laptop Satellite A100 (PSAA8) cannot run most games like call of duty... I wonder if I can get a more powerful vga card and install it. Is this possible? And what I can get to the Middle East (Egypt).

    Other improvements I need to increase its performance?

    Hello

    Unfortunately the video card cannot be improved. Only you can do is upgrade RAM, optimize the preinstalled operating system and play games that need power of video not so much.

    Also try to play games with video settings below. Sorry, but that's all I can say about it.

  • Re: Satellite Pro A300 - DVD drawer will not open most of the time

    I have a portable Satellite Pro A300-1NH. The DVD drawer opens not most of the time. Sometimes it does, but most of the time it isn't.
    Sometimes, if I can get a DVD/CD in the drawer for something to burn, burning works.
    Most of the time the computer does not recognize that there is a disc, and then I can't open the drawer again to get it out.

    Can anyone tell a novice what should I do to resolve this issue please?

    It looks like a mechanical problem. You need to replace or insert a PIN or no folded into a small hole on the plateau near the exit button whenever he is stuck.

  • Re: Most of the time by Satellite T110 webcam fails to initialize

    It happens most of the time you.
    The webcam of my T110 fails to initialize and a message appears saying that webcam could not initialize, please check the device and restart the program (Web camera application) or the computer!

    Other times, it works, but after a pop up appears on the bar by saying that an unsupported USB device has been detected and could not be installed tasks!

    It is boring! Can someone help me please?

    Thank you.
    Manuel Quinaz

    Hello

    Seems that the software of webcam has stopped working.
    I think that you should first try to reinstall this software.

    First remove the software of the webcam of the system.
    Then clean the system and the registry using CCleaner!
    Reboot the laptop twice and run CCleaner several times to make sure that everything has been properly cleaned.
    Download the software of the webcam from the European driver Toshiba page, and then install it.
    Restart the unit. Launch msconfig (in RUN type msconfig) and go to the Startup tab.
    There, you must deselect landmark from the webcam software. This prevents the automatic start software. Restart the unit.

    Now, if you do want to use the webcam, select all programs-> Toshiba-> webcam software and start it.

  • Tecra Z50 A-h-13 - fan works half of the time

    Hello

    I got a new Tecra Z50 A-h-13 (i5, 8 GB RAM).

    Although the processor is underemployed (approx. 20% of capacity), the fan works half of the time!

    When the fan is running the Toshiba PC Health Monitor shows approximately 44% CPU temp. and 36% system temp.

    When the fan works not the Toshiba PC Health Monitor shows similar values!

    What is it good for?

    In my opinion, the fan is not alone. I have not found a possibility to adjust the speed of the fan (PC Health Monitor always shows 45%) or the starting temperature. The current Version of BIOS is installed.

    Is it possible to get a SMART fan control?

    Best regards

    Zvonko

    Hello

    The manual fan control is very limited.
    What you can do is to change some parameters in the Windows power options.
    Go to the control panel? power options
    Select the power plan you use.
    Then choose Advanced settings.

    In the advanced power settings, you will find the option method Cooing and the performance of the processor.
    I recommend you degrade the performance of the max processor at 90-95% and to change the method of passive cooling (both for the battery and plugged)
