Satellite Pro P100 PSPAEA - irritating noise of the fan

Hello

I have a Satellite Pro P100 PSPAEA and need honestly the laptop more irritating I have ever owned.
The problem is the cooling fan which tends to regularly turn up to maximum, sat there for a few seconds then turn down.

Rather than simply successively increase to cool a little screaming for a second or two, then reduced speed. It can do like all the 15 seconds and is driving me crazy especially in a silent room. I am running Windows Vista and the latest version of the BIOS V4.4. I am ready to throw this thing on the door and never buy Toshiba again.

But before I do that does anyone know a solution?

Thank you

I think the BIOS v4.4 requires a newer graphics NVIDIA driver.

Install the latest graphics driver from the Toshiba site and see how it goes.

  • How to enable virtualization on Satellite Pro P100-PSPAE

    HY uall,
    I have a Satellite Pro P100-PSPAE with a CPU T5600, it is a core 2 duo CPU with Intel virtualization technology (B.t.w was one the reasons I chose this laptop in particular).

    Now my XEN-Manager tells me that this technology is not enabled in the BIOS but I can't find any switch to enable it in the BIOS. What I am doing wrong?

    Greetings Michael

    Hello

    Virtualization can be enabled in the BIOS.
    But several versions of BIOS don't support such function.

    If your BIOS does not have option, then you will not be able to activate!
    Sorry to say it buddy, but there is not much to do! :(

  • Satellite Pro P100: Where can I find the software pre-installed?

    Hi all, today I got my satellite pro p100-327. From what I read in the manual of the recovery cd provided is just a copy of windows? If I want to reinstall windows where all programs preinstalled on your laptop can be reinstalled from? Is it possible to make a bootdisk as such?
    Thanks for all the help.

    I'll try to bring light on this case
    The Toshiba Recovery CD contains an OEM version of the Windows XP operating system and all Toshiba drivers, tools and utilities are part of this CD.
    Simply said, after using the Toshiba Recovery CD, you get the laptop with the factory settings.

    If you only need drivers Toshiba or tools, you can create a CD of tools & utilities own.
    This option is found in the Toshiba support--> Protect Fix & -> Create sub drivers & Tools CD

    All the drivers are also placed on the page of the Toshiba driver

  • Satellite Pro P100 chronometric fails to keep the correct time

    On the web, there was some good number of reports that the P100 timestamp fails to keep the correct time.
    Mine did this for a few months now.

    I tried all the online recommendations such as bios update, etc with no luck and then also of changing the battery of the CCF.
    I disassembled the laptop, (very easy if you use the instructions in "www.irisvista.com"), however I found unable to buy a new battery (battery ' green with plug-in lead and marked 0706).

    I unplugged the battery for a few minutes and then plugged back, then re-assembled the laptop so I can use it until maybe I could get a new battery.

    HOWEVER, the clock now works perfectly.

    I remember reading on another post somewhere that battery temporariliy uplugging solves the problem, AND IT DOES.
    If this happens again I will extend the battery leads to RTC outside in a place easy to access under a blanket where I can disconnect and reconnect the battery in a minute or two.

    Hello

    Thank you for this information buddy.
    I also read the thread on the topic P100 and clock.
    Someone said that the technician ASP removed the CMOS battery and plugged again.
    This helped!

    PS: I would not recommend disassembling the laptop, even if you have found some guidelines in the internet in my opinion, the risk of damage is too high. However, it s just my personal opinion.

  • Satellite Pro R850-15F - freezing randomly and the fan speeds up

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro R850-15F who gave me four years in refurbished condition and so it is quite old.
    I have recently installed Windows 10 and things seemed to work very well.

    However, last week, I noticed that at least once a day my laptop freezes randomly and immediately the internal fan accelerates, becomes much stronger and a cold air. Whenever this happens, I turned off the laptop and turn it back on it.

    After that, it works normally again until the next time it freezes. I don't know anything about computer hardware, but I suspect that it is a problem of series and I wanted to get some advice in case my laptop is close to dying.

    If anyone has any help or advice or suggestions to solve the problem, then I would be extremely grateful if you would contact me.

    Hope to hear from someone soon,

    Flashback

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here. To me, it looks like problem with some background process that as a result of extremely high CPU usage that locks the phone whole.
    High CPU usage means more heat in such situation the fan starts to run a lot faster.

    Have you noticed this behavior with a specific action or the use of certain applications?

  • Satellite Pro P100 (PSPAEA) and the 64-bit virtualization

    Hi all

    I hope that someone tried to do this before and has an answer.

    I am currently running Windows Vista (32 bit) on my P100 with the last BIOS V4.40 (also 32 Bit Version). I am trying to install a Windows XP 64 Bit Virtual Machine using VMWare Workstation. However it is said that even if my hardware is capable VT I need enable VT via my BIOS support. Of course there is no setting that I can find in the BIOS. I need to install the 64-bit BIOS? Or is there something that I am missing? Or is it simply not really able to do what I want?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    If you say; + your hardware is capable VT + do you mean the CPU?

    What CPU do you have?

    I ask because the VT (virtual technology) is not supported by all Intel processors!

    Then please post some details about your CPU!

  • Can I increase the memory on my old Satellite Pro P100?

    I have a Satellite Pro P100 (P6PA4E-002001EN) with only 512 MB of memory and the desire to know if it can be increased and if so what memory should I buy and it is easy to open the machine and adapt?

    Hello

    You can increase the memory on this laptop amazing plu of 4 GB of RAM.

    RAM modules compatible that you can use to upgrade:
    PA3511U - 1 M 51 (Kit of memory 512 MB DDR2-667)
    PA3512U-1M1G (memory 1 GB DDR2-667 Kit)
    PA3513U-1M2G (memory 2 GB DDR2-667 Kit)

    Check the underside of your laptop and there should be probably set with a cover of Ram screw. Remove it and you will have access to the memory locations.

  • Satellite Pro P100: losing picture on external monitor when using the DVI - D connection

    Guys,

    I have a Samsung SyncMaster 940MW LCD TV and a Satellite Pro P100 (Geforce Go 7600), recently I bought a DVI - D cable to link them together.

    Now the problem is that when I connected to 1400 x 900 LCD TV screen goes to a black screen several times (usually when there is a lot of activity or I'm resizing windows to the maximum to the minimum).

    Now, I would have thought it would be the LCD TV doesn't do not signal or refresh rate however I connected using a VGA cable and its fine - no problem just no matter how much I minimize my windows or put a lot of activity on the screen. To complicate matters even more, when I run the screens in "Dual screen" mode instead of "Clone" if I put one of them 1400 x 900 to 59hz in 16 bit it works fine...?

    Can someone help please that it made my head that I can't understand what the hell is the cause!

    I've included a list below all the different resolutions / screen modes I tried it and the result.

    Thanks for your time & help.

    Hello

    I hope that you have enabled user s manual supplied with your device. On page 148, you will find a very interesting picture on the supported display resolution.

    I have to be honest with you and say that I am no expert DVI because my LCD doesn't have this port, just HDMI but if I have understood you as soon as you have problem with a resolution of 1440 x 900 only. This resolution is not listed as supported, and I presume that it is not unusual to have a problem.

    Sorry, but I think that you should use maximum supported only resolution 1280 x 1024.

  • Satellite Pro P100: The extended warranty is not available?

    Hi, just about to buy a Satellite Pro P100, but when we look at the warranty I don't see this pattern on the list machines covered by the extended warranty available at Toshiba.

    Any ideas?

    It makes me a little nervous if Toshiba does not cover this model for extended warranty.

    Hello

    Did you mean Satellite Pro P100 or Satellite P100-xxx?
    I asked it because I don t find any laptops Satellite Pro P100 on the Toshiba site. Only Satellite P100-xxx are available and these books are very new. Maybe you checked the list of bad guaranteed?

    PS: I can t believe that the extended warranty is not available on this device.

  • Satellite Pro P100: Brands on the palmrest

    I've had my Satellite Pro P100 for barely 6 months now... I bought it again and its has a less than one average amount of usage. Its always been neat, always clean, always take off my watch so it's not scratching the surface, etc. etc. But now I've noticed marks indicating where to rest my palms.

    I expect this from a mobile phone 2nd hand that gets very intense use, but I do not expect this news!

    Cheers for any help.

    These similar marks appear on my laptop 4 years old. That s nothing unusual.
    It appears after several times because the hands are still on this sector for laptop.

  • How do I reset the fan on Satellite Pro P100 control?

    Hello

    My PSPAEE - 00E006EN Satellite Pro P100 turned on his car in his carrying case the other day.
    He got very, very hot. Now on the side fan runs all the time but otherwise his work as usual.

    An easy way to restore control of the fan? TKS.

    Hello

    There is no function that could restore the cooling modules.
    I guess that your laptop was put in standby or in hibernation mode and somehow, she woke from sleep or hibernation mode

    You stop simply laptop (windows start-> closed) and then should power the unit.

    Just FYI; You can change some settings of cooling modules in the Vista power management.
    To do this, see this FAQ:
