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 A300 - cursor is random if the power is connected

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 running Vista Business and my synaptic touchpad cursor started becoming erratic and cannot be controlled normally.

    It is hard to move and it will open programs and the internet, etc. This happens every time power outlet is plugged but normally works on battery. I ran Malwarebytes and AVG 8 scans, but they come without any problem. I restarted mode safe (after a forced closed down) and the problem has always existed.

    Can someone throw some advice on this problem?

    Strange. I never heard a question also and now I can t say what is the reason for this, but I hope that I can help you identify the reason.

    It would be interesting to know if you have the same problem with an external mouse. You can check this please?
    You use the original from Toshiba AC adapter or another?

    Perhaps the problem can be solved if you update the BIOS. You can find it on the Toshiba site:

  • Satellite Pro A120: Need all drivers and the easyguard for Win 7

    Hello!

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120, that I bought in 2007 and I am very satisfied.
    It had Windows Vista professional, but I have recently installed Windows 7 and it is where my dilemmas has started.

    My touchpad is not working properly, its scrolling feature works, to be specified. I installed the latest driver for ALPS touch pad, but the problem remains.

    Then, when I checked the system, I noticed two devices listed and it says that there are no drivers installed for them. I can't know what devices are and where to find the drivers.
    They are here:
    1st: ACPI\TOS6208\2 & DABA3FF & 1 driver not installed!
    2nd: ACPI\TOS620A\2 & DABA3FF & 1 driver not installed!

    And my third problem is about the sets of Toshiba programs and public services.
    My laptop came with Toshiba Easyguard, with protection against theft and other programs of Toshiba, and now I've lost all. Is there a way I can get them?

    I must say that I have no intention to return in Windows Vista, if any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you all for your responses and help!

    Hello

    In my IMHO the additional features of touchpad and other devices don't work correctly because the installed drivers are not designed for Win 7 and are perhaps not fully compatible with Win 7.

    Who knows if drivers Win 7 would come out for series Sat A120 we will see
    At that time I didn t find Win 7 drivers specific for A120.

    But if there are some beta Windows 7 drivers on the US page:

    Maybe you are lucky and some drivers running on your A120.

  • 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.

  • Satellite P200 - 17 c freezes sometimes and the images have a red tint

    OK heres the problems...

    So year ago my computer crashed a lot, I am finally really bored with it so I erased the memory cool.
    Then after doing this, the problem has been resolved, but a new problem came.
    A red hue on everything I have not a clue of how else to to describe. The lines of each image for example a piece of grass has its image in red.
    It seems to just terrible and ruins all movies etc. which is annoying because im fond of youtube.com, I decided to open the laptop (which proved be a pig to open) and cannot find the problem, but when I closed the laptop and shake him a slight noise rattling at the top left of my laptop nearby speakers is here... (laptop = p200 - 17 c)

    2nd problem is that if I leave my laptop to go to a screen saver I will return to the laptop and it will randomly crash, crash not that I can't move my mouse but rather everything that says not responding do not and I turn it off because I can't do anything, has happened for about 2-3 months.
    3rd problem every time I charge the laptop, it is said that the camera is broken and it needs to be reinstalled... since it has never been installed, I don't know what's happening, it is built into the laptop!

    So, any help would be great

    Hello Adam

    In my opinion, you should contact the nearest authorized service (ASP) and speak with the technicians. First question graphic problem is for me the evidence that card doesn't work properly.

    What you can do now is to reinstall the OS with delivered Toshiba Recovery DVD.
    Test this with preinstalled OS clean and without any additional software on the subject.
    If the same thing happens again > ASP.

  • Satellite A500-1GL: 2 questions: the fan speed & graphic card driver failures

    Hello

    I have 2 questions, hopefully someone can help me with that.

    * The first question - quick fan *.

    I'm on online gamer second life and world of the craft of war) recently my fan speed crank up to 90 percent for about 5/10 minutes before leaving quiet. Then speed up again after a period of time. I'm confused as to why he did this because when I check my cpu temp is only make 40%, and I use a cool buffer table.

    I'm looking for some advise here because all said Toshiba was making sure I had the latest bios update. But I would have thought it is not the processor overheating the fan must not be crank that quickly. My laptop is only 2 months old.

    Can anyone help, should I be worried?

    * Second question - graphics driver *.

    Also on a couple of times I got my screen briefly go black and then recover. A pop up appears saying something along the lines of the core of the graphics card.... Driver recovered. It flashes if fast, that I never see the entire message. Don't you think that something is wrong with the graphics card? (card nividia geforce gt300m)

    I really hope that someone can offer more help that Toshiba has done, as I am a bit unhappy to be problems on a 2 month old laptop.

    Thank you for reading and I look forward to any Advisor.

    The cooling fan is controlled by the fan table in the BIOS. Fan table contains information about the temperature and the fan speed that means the depands on some level temperature fan speed.
    Over all the possible game features as the CPU, GPU, produce heat and the heat dissipation is high
    Cooling modules would begin to turn faster if the temperature level would be exceeded
    This is nothing exceptional everything at stake

    I read on a similar question, and apparently, the graphics card DRIVER crashed during games
    Maybe it's a compatibility problem between game and pilot
    In most cases the graphics card driver update should fix this and I read on some forums that it has helped in many cases

  • 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?
