Satellite Pro A100 becomes warm while playing a game

I had a problem for some time with the Satellite Pro A100 when I play games.

I'm glitchy spells during the game, sometimes with the fan runs much and the laptop is very hot.

Is there something I can do?

Hello

As you've probably experienced peripheral internally as CPU and GPU have to work with the best performance all in game. This leads to higher heat dissipation.
If fans and the internal vents are clogged then the CPU and the GPU may not be cooled properly and may lead to overheating

What can you do? You can ensure that your vents are free of dust and debris, and that air can circulate properly.
I would recommend so clean the fans with a jet of compressed air. These aerosols can be ordered from dealers different computer/laptop.

In addition, don t use the laptop in the bet, couch or on the knees because the cooling fans would be stuck and this would lead to a higher temperature.

Good bye

    Anyone has any ideas, tips or suggestions please?
    My goal is to alow the user to be able to play Sims 2 if it is possibe, because I know that some video cards do not support the game (or whatever it is).

    Rename the package for example in "display driver" and then uncompress the package.
    Then go to the folder where the driver was decompressed and then launch the installation.

    The key - caps are loose enough easy, you know how they are attached to the base.
    Please be very gentle when you try it, especialy on your first key.

    You will just need to lift the key (perhaps using your nails) of the left and right of the key,... a few seconds later, he's going to jump on you.

    You can build your own tool, too. This is how the dedicated tool looks like:

  • Solution for DVD playback choppy on Satellite Pro A100

    Hello!

    I had this problem twice on my Toshiba laptop (Satellite Pro A100 bought in April 2006): the DVD used to play very well, but now (perhaps after an update of the driver or installation of software, I not sure what causes this) DVD playback is choppy, distorted sound. This occurs throughout all media players on Windows XP (for example, PowerDVD which came with the laptop) or Windows media player.

    I searched the internet far from a solution and finally found how to solve this problem:

    Go to Device Manager, select the "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers" section, and then select the "second IDE channel", right click and 'uninstall '. (There are two second IDE channels, if you know which then just uninstall both.) Restart Windows XP, Windows XP will automatically reinstall the drivers without the need to download anything. Subsequently the DVD Player reads normally.

    The symptoms of the problem, apart from DVD playback choppy, are the "transfer mode" gets stuck on PIO for a reason, and bring back to DMA with no opportunity to spend. I have no idea what software or driver causes this, or why, but if this is your problem too, if you think that this solves.

    Cool, thanks for the inquiry and the nice information.
    Could be useful to others here in the forum.
    Nice to have these community users :)

  • Satellite Pro A100 - 828 Max memory speed

    Hello

    Can someone please tell me the max speed of memory for Satellite Pro A100-828, I'm wanting to move to the 4 GB maximum but is some sites say the maximum speed is 533 MHz while others say to 667 MHz. For example, the Toshiba site lists only memory 533 MHz under the "Compatible" Options yet other sites list 667 MHz memory as compatible.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hello

    You should check which bus (FSB) front would support.
    Install the hardware diagnostic tool like Everest home edition, and you should be able to find this value.

    If your chipset would support 667 Mhz then you can use these modules and the modules would go with 667 Mhz too.

  • Strange problem with RAM on Satellite Pro A100

    I have a Satellite Pro A100 (not sure which...)
    It came with 2x256mb RAM, which are mounted. I noticed my laptop slow, so I checked what he says on the properties of the workstation - who said RAM 192Mo...

    Any idea what's going on?
    I had a peek inside, both are mounted securely, while the right push entirely? There is a small gap (about 1 / 2mm) so that is the little nick and real editing. -What is the cause? Or it's maybe faulty?

    Please help me!
    Thanks in advance,

    Diana

    According to the description of your problem, I guess one of the memory modules is not recognized by the system and the specified result 192 MB of Ram only tell me that your laptop has shared graphics memory card.

    Satellite Pro A100 is fairly new to laptop and, in my opinion, you should contact service. The guarantee must be valid and if everything is defective it will be replaced free of charge.

    If possible, tell us what Satellite Pro, you have exactly. This info you can find on the lower side of your laptop.

  • Satellite Pro A100 - audio artifacts / Virtual Sound

    My Satellite Pro A100 (PSAA3E) has a boring character: audio (MP3, DVD, MPEG audio, etc.) reading is accompanied by a rumbling of objects of type "underwater." The same files (audio or video) or played on any other computer in the House of discs play perfectly well.

    Since the problem seems to be related to this laptop, I tried to watch the audio software updates.

    I noticed the Virtual Sound up-to-date. Downloaded, he ran. Installation upgrade needed to the previous version to remove, I did. Re-directed the program installation and received the message: "Effect Audio TOSHIBA does not support your computer."

    Now, I still have the annoying audio artifacts, but I do not have any version of the Virtual Sound utility!

    Someone at - it guidance to offer on this situation?

    Hello

    I can t believe that it of not possible to install it too much if it has been downloaded driver Toshiba and the box on the right page.

    I found a statement of installation for this laptop. He was placed in the pilot area.
    I think you should follow this guide to install the software and drivers.

    Sorry, but I put t see any other possibility to install Toshiba stuff on your laptop.
    As far as I remember that some drivers and utilities need other applications. Therefore, the order is important.

  • Satellite Pro A100 - has no Imaging

    Hi all

    I tried to picture 16 Satellite Pro A100 for several days now. I tried our usual deployment solution called altiris and cela images very well the machine (which means that all files are intact), but when starting says NTLDR error, after looking for awhile, I found that altiris was known to have some problems with SATA disks in function. At this point, I decided to re - build the main image and use Ghost, I tried their exchange of traffic on the network and they picture (the same as previously intact files) but always returned with the same error. Then I tried to drive my main image to another disk drive cloning, once again the same error appeared while my main drive worked fine. I tried all the fixes NTLDR, wrote new boots still with no luck. I don't see it was a hardware failure, because it would be very strange to happen in 15 laptops. What I'm looking for is a form manageable to the Image of these PCs, as they are used in a primary school and will need Imaging regularly.

    Any help or information would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Jason

    You get an error like this: an NTLDR or NTDETECT.COM not found

    If Yes, this problem may occur if your boot device (for example, a floppy drive, hard drive or CD-ROM drive) does not contain startup files.

  • Satellite Pro A100-080: NVidia display driver's break in 3D games

    Hello

    I have some problems with the display driver since I bought the laptop 9 months ago. I tried to install each new driver published on the toshiba site but no driver is running stable on my system.

    The problem is that my laptop crashes with blue screen when playing 3d games and my windows vista tells me that it is the display driver causing accidents.

    I had the previous version of the driver installed several months ago and I think it's more stable than the current version. Unfortunately I lost the files for that one, but I prefer a functional driver for this laptop.

    Hello.

    The carpet * a dvd multi drive uj - 841 s that came with my satellite pro a100 written on very slow DVD. Firmware 1.50
    I use good philips and kodak media (both rated 16 X).

    Hello

    To my knowledge, some burning applications control the burning speed to obtain the best possible results from burning
    As you probably n t know the speed of combustion higher risk of burn errors
    I burn my DVD only using a single 1 x speed.

    Then I can be sure that all DVD players would be able to play the burned DVD.

    > During a game for half an hour, the screen darkens and a second view later, I get a blue screen.
    Well, my first thought is that this problem is related to the graphics driver.
    I mean it could be a software problem.
    But I know that a BSOD can also occur if the graphics card chip began to malfunction.
    In your case I m not sure what could cause this problem. But to play a game, that the GPU is running with a maximum yield and produce a lot of heat. If the temperature rises to a higher level the GPU can also cause a BSOD.

    Anyway, first of all, you must check if the graphics card driver update could solve this problem.
    Maybe you could use a driver from other websites but please note that this is ONLY possible at your peril!
