Satellite Pro A120 - fan runs at full speed

I've had my laptop for a few years, and for about a week now when I first turn on the fan runs at full speed. I restart the computer immediately and fun runs normally. I suspect overheating or dust problems since it works at full speed as soon as it is powered but not after a reboot. I left at full speed for a long time to see what is happening - I is not too annoying. I usually restart immediately.

These laptops have the sensors of dew or something? I guess the House is cooler just now.
Advice anyone?

Ritchie.

Hello

I doubt the s sensor issue or something like that
Cooling modules are controlled by the BIOS. The fan table that contains all the details about the features of the cooling module is stored in the BIOS and I recommend the default BIOS settings first

So, start the laptop, press F2 and access the BIOS.
Press F9 to get the BIOS default settings, and then save the changes and exit the BIOS.
Of course, the cooling modules must be verified if the vents are not blocked
The dust is more a cause of such symptoms
Remove dust using a jet of compressed air can be useful in your situation

  • Satellite Pro A120 - fan run all the time

    OK, so this is a strange...

    I have a satellite Pro A120. It works with the fan on all the time and sometimes goes on a mayor go slowly (which I think can be reduced to overheating).

    Operating system is Ubuntu and I installed the tool of sensors that tell me about the minute the temperature is 100 degrees c and the next one is 16!

    I suspect that it is perhaps that the heat sink is full of fluff, but I can't find a guide step by step to dismantle the machine, clean it and put it back together again.

    Can anyone help with ideas or resources?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    You do not need to disassemble the unit to clean the fans.
    You can use a jet of compressed air which helps to remove dust.
    I did it several times and it helped!

    Hello!

    My iMac 27 "has an intermittent problem with the CPU fan runs at full speed. Sometimes it happens at the time when I start it, sometimes only in my session, and sometimes only after a certain time. So does seem to be a problem of "heating".

    Second issue is with the mode 'sleep'. It may occur also at any time, at the start of the iMac, session, or after a certain time. But once he starts to go in mode 'sleep', when I wake up, it goes right back in mode after a few seconds and that it will continue indefinitely until I restart the computer.

  • HP h8-1141 fan runs at full speed all the time

    Processor and fun of rear cooling fan runs at full speed on Pavilion h8-1141

    Solution:

    I cleaned the inside of the computer and all the fans. It was very dusty.

    Then I pressed my finger on all the cards on the motherboard to make sure they don't lose. As for the fans, I took out and put them back in.

    Now it's working. The fans are back to normal.

  • Case fan runs at full speed

    I accidentally shorted the circuit case fan on my motherboard HP (explanation below), and now the fan runs at full speed all the time. Apart from the fact that it was a stupid thing to do, it will be a long term problem and should I try to reset the fan speed switch?

    (Long version) It's hot here these days and my computer fans seemed underpowered. I put a splitter at the exit of the case on the motherboard fan and added a second fan in addition to the original fan. All it worked well except the new fan seems to run pretty slow. I wanted to get a voltage reading card fan, but I accidentally hit the two sensors on my voltmeter and the computer shuts down immediately. He has started up and worked well, except that the throttle was no longer working and the fans were running at full speed. This also explains why the second fan turned slowly before when they were both being strangled.

    I guess that in the end I got my wish to have my fans running at full power, I just wanted to see if there are future problems leaving this way.

    Hello design_guy,

    You should not have problems with the fan rotating at high speed, with the exception that you can reduce the life cycle of the fan.

    You can install software on the computer that will allow you to adjust the speed of the fan to the computer which may help you extend the life of the fans and give you a bit of control over them.

    Something like SpeedFan should do the trick.

  • Fan runs at full speed and never stops on Satellite Pro A120

    the cpu temperature is 30 ° c and the fan is always at top speed.
    I have try all the possible settings of the Bios.
    I can't update the Bios because there is only 1 version of the Satellite Pro A120 and is not possible to replace the existing one.

    Thanks for any idea!

    Have you tested this change in method of cooling in the sleep tool? Make sure that the cooling rack is not dirty and nothing is blocking the vents.

  • Satellite A300 - 24 X PSAGQE: fan runs at full speed

    Hello...

    I recently bought Satellite A300 - 24 X PSAGQE T and I have little problems with fan.

    The thing is, it does not work until the temperature rises to something about 75 degrees, but then continues to run at full throttle, even if the temp. decreases.

    SIW ISC: ACPI - 45, the CPU cores around 44 HARD drive is 36 and the fan always runs at full speed. Ive tried a couple of fan speed, program management, but it did not help.

    Is there something that could help me with this prob?
    Thank you for any response.

    Hello
    Try to update the BIOS of the laptop. You should be able to download this on the Toshiba site of the country in which you bought the laptop. I hope this helps.

  • Portege R500 - the fan runs at full speed during the recovery from sleep mode

    Is there a solution to this problem?

    Hello Allan

    I really wonder that you define this as a problem. From my point of view the problem is something else. You have a problem when you cannot boot up your laptop. You have a problem if you are unable to use certain features or if you can not open the DVD player. It is a problem.

    Back to your problem: have you tried to change the power settings, to change the method of cooling in the Toshiba power settings? Play a little with it. I optimized the use of my wholesale Satellite P200 and the fan operates at low speed. OK it is not the best example to compare the two models of laptops, but try it.

  • Satellite Pro L20 - RAM runs with low speed

    Dear reader,

    I've recently updated my Toshiba Satellite Pro L20 to 2 GB, DDR2 667 mhz (Corsair ValueSelect) RAM because the old 512 MB of ram would not cut it anymore with all these processes.
    Now, when I check my speed of ram with CPU - Z it says 200 mhz, whereas it should be at 333 mhz. I checked the chipset (Radeon Xpress 200 m) to ensure compatibility and it is compatible with ram to 667 mhz.

    Additional features:
    Toshiba Satellite Pro L20 - PSL2YE-005009DU
    Windows XP Pro SP3
    Intel Celeron M360 1.4 ghz
    2 GB DDR2 667 Mhz
    Radeon Xpress 200 m chipset

    Now to clarify my question. I would run my ram at 333 mhz for many reasons, because if it is not I had been better to buy cheaper, slower RAM.
    How can I use it, I can't access the bios to fix this, how can I access/derivation of the locked bios?

    If you need more info just tell me.

    Kind regards
    Patrick Bos.

    Hello

    Perhaps CPU - Z isn't read correctly... Who knows?

    Also maybe the RAM modules are perhaps not compatible to run at 667 MHz speed. I n t have experience with Corsair Value Select modules

    Last but not least, you can do nothing. There is no option of BIOS or something, where you can change it. In addition this speed of RAM will not bring a solid performance gain.

    By the way: did you check the speed of your old modules?

  • Processor and fun of rear cooling fan runs at full speed on Pavilion HPE h8-1120it

    Hello, since yesterday when I turned on my HPE h8-1120it HP Pavilion the CPU fan and rear fun cooling are always rotating at high speed, and they never stop. I have nothing no hardware changes, no change in software. Two days I will I work all day without problem, I turn off as usual the PC, I'm going to bed and then yesterday morning I turned on and now I have this problem. The PC is brand new (I bougth it about 1 month ago). There is no problem of temperature (now I 19 ° C on my computer room).

    Read another similar post I figured might be a bios problem. The version of the bios is 7.11, I tried to see if there is an update of canno't ' t there, but I find an update of the bios for Pavilion HPE h8-1120it.

    I burned a CD with the hardware HP Vision Diagnostic and I run the pleasure of tests and they all passes. During these tests, the pleasure seem to achieve the right speed in the progress of the test.

    I noticed this strange thing: when I bought the PC I immediately activated in the bios the use of VT to use hardeware virtualization with VMWare player. Yesterday, I found this setting changed and disabled and it's very strange because I did not change the values in the bios.

    What can I do? The noise of the fans at full speed is impressive, that I can't work on these conditions!

    Thank you

    Davide Angeli

    Hello

    There are not many fans rated at 4 000 rpm. With this type of fan RPM coupled with your observation that VT missing then your PC seems to have a problem.

    Maybe it's time to contact the HP Support.

    HP support number is 800-474-6836 or 800-HPINVENT or online here.

  • [Aspire V3 - 771G] Fan runs at full speed without reason

    Hello world! I come here after some time to research how to fix this weird problem.

    The fact is: at the time I push the power button on my Acer Aspire V3 - 771 G, starts the fan rotating at high speed, making a horrible noise.

    I have this laptop for 3 years now and this problem is only 5 days ago.

    I did nothing to do except clean the fan with a compressor of air (by ventilation, without desasembling the pc).

    I've tried several things:

    -First of all, by using SpeedFan to monitor the single my laptop fan (useless because SpeedFan does not reconigze the fan)

    -Control of the overheating (at least none in the task of program manager used a lot of CPU, and all temperatures are correct, between 40 and 50 degrees idle, screenshot: http://www.noelshack.com/2016-18-1462730392-capturegbfg.png )

    -Then, after reading a few posts, remove the battery (nothing happens)

    -Then, I check the BIOS for any < fan="" setting=""> > (there's nothing like this in the BIOS Acer (the most recent version for my laptop)

    -Finally, I tried you use software such as NotebookFanControl or ACFanControl (nothing too, he just tell me that the fan is running at 164%, crazy?)

    So after all these things, I'm fed up and my laptop computer fan just keep running like a beast. It is a very big problem for me because I'm audio recording and this sound quite kidding with my voice on the record. And now, I can't change my laptop, for a few reasons.

    So I'm begging for your help, I except someone could help me with this.

  • Satellite Pro S500 - 11 c is suspended and the fan runs at full

    Hi people,

    I am experiancing a problem with my Satellite Pro S500 - 11 c where close unexpectedly, it crashes and the fan runs at full speed. Discount to zero is my only option and this resulted in the windows having to retrieve a few times so I'm fearing one requiring a major reconstruction after a deadlock of the future. Until now this issue has occurred only when you use a wireless USB mobile of 3G or internet teathering via USB with my iphone 3G. Using another USB port did not help.

    If someone has encountered this problem and have a fix? No help from Toshiba?

    Best regards

    Andrew

    Hmmmm... What to say. Problem is that you use third party hardware and software and some conflicts are possible. The question is: who can help you with this?
    In general you should talk to your ISP provider at first to see what they will say about all this.

    Have you ever talked with them?
