Satellite U200 fan keeps running

Hello
I've had my u200 for a few months now, but there seems to be a problem with my fan.

No matter what I do with my laptop (install Xp, Vista, Linux, NHC, Toshiba power utility, last version of the bios, change each setting on that you can imagine, defining an external fan blowing directly on my cell phone and so on...) the internal fan from my laptop never stop spinning, and my room is far from warm.

I know at least 3 people with cell phone exact same and none of them has this problem, their fan just turns off whenever they do not any of the CPU intensive job.

This may seem pretty insignificant at first, but it's really me turning crazy while I write long pages of text or watch a movie on my laptop.

Anyone here have an idea on how to fix this, or should I just send my laptop to Toshiba for warranty?

Thank you very much.

Hello

have you tried to clean your cooling system? If it is already done, try dusting her because a cooling system of dust-clobbed
can slow a machine to the ground and you won´t be able to run your machine correctly.

Just clean it up, or bring the machine to a local servicepartner for cleaning. Just a suggestion ;)

  • Satellite C660-108 - fan keeps running

    I just bought a Satellite C660-108 and pleasure keeps running all the time. Is this normal?

    Hi Judith_2,

    If your laptop computer is in idle mode, it isn't normal that the fan still works. Normally it should start and stop as on other models.
    But if you run some background applications such as Internet browser, Antivirus, etc., it may be normal because the CPU causes a lot of heat and it must be cooled to protect it from damage.

    Anyway, you can try to change the cooling method in Windows power management. You can choose between a maximum Performance and battery optimized. If you want to reduce, change the value of the latter.
    I confirm there is really a difference between the methods of cooling and optimized battery is much quieter.

  • Satellite A300 - fan always runs at full speed after full stop

    When I stop the Satellite A300, the fan always runs at full speed.

    Hello

    What? Cooling modules run, even in this case, the cell phone is off?
    Press the power button for at least 4 seconds, then the laptop must be turned off.
    Disconnect the power adapter and remove the battery
    Wait about an hour and reconnect the battery and AC adapter
    Then switch on the device after a certain time of use of turning the unit off and check if the cooling modules would stop too

  • Satellite Pro L series: fan always running even at IDLE when LAN is on

    the fan always running even at IDLE when lan is on
    Thanks for any help, that can stop the fan...

    Just see your questions:
    What model of laptop do you have exactly?
    What system do you use?
    What exactly do you mean by power of LAN?

    I can tell you that the cooling modules are controlled by fan table stored in the BIOS.
    Usually, the fan starts to spin if the CPU would be responsible for some unique applications/processes. It would also be possible that your fan is running continuously with low performance to maintain the low temperature. This isn't a real problem for laptop.

  • ACPI fan constantly runs at full speed on Toshiba Satellite L505

    Hello world!
    I recently bought a new laptop (Toshiba L505)... everything works fine except the fan under Linux. It works constantly to max speed and I must say it's quite annoying. I know it is better to have a fan that runs continuously rather than one that is not light up at all, but I really want it to solve...
    See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi/+bug/321578 for more information on this bug...
    I think that it is related to ACPI but I tried everything almos (acpi_osi change, acpi = force and other hack kernel). But whatever the OSs I throw (except Windows 7), it is always at full speed (I tried the Chakra (Archlinux), Ubuntu, and PC - BSD). With Ubuntu, I tried the last kernel 2.6.32rc7...

    Thanks ;)

    Hi sunrider.

    to understand why your machine is constantly cooling at high speed, go deep into the linux stuff...

    * but you can try "acpi = off" * instead of 'force' to give the os the ability to manage the material at the level of the api...
    Maybe there is an updated driver/module implemented who knows your chipset...

    If you "force" the kernel to manage equipment of this 'acpi' way and no module is there to do the work... you see it is a bad thing...

    or you are a geek and program a module that manages your chipset to acpi... If yes pls share it with the community...
    of course I'm kidding, writing of modules is not for me...

  • Satellite P10 fan runs continuously

    Hello

    Since new my laptop fan is running as soon as it is turned on, battery or sector makes no difference and is noisy. I tried the power settings for the Middle mode or silent mode which makes it much better, but the machine turns off after a while which is irritating to say the least.
    I had messages on battery bad installed, but healed with auditor of battery and the update of the Bios updated.

    Someone has ideas about how to stop the fan and continue to use the laptop without crashing or is - it just the processor runs hot and must constantly the fan to operate?

    Makes no difference how many programs are running either.

    Hello

    The processor produces a lot of heat and the use of the fan is very important.
    From time to time, it is important to clean the cooling modules and fans, because dust and debris. Dust and debris could have a bad influence on the circulation of air.
    This is why the unit will stop automatically to prevent damage.

    I think you should check the cooling modules and clean carefully.
    But generally, there are not a lot to do. The fan should run to cool the devices inside the laptop.

  • Satellite P100-347: after update 4.10 BIOS fan always runs at maximum

    Hello!
    I have a P100-347 and had graphics problems of stuttering while playing games. Updated BIOS 4.0 to 4.10, it solves the problem of stuttering!

    Now, my fan always runs at maximum, it never ideals.
    It's always the same, even when I choose its configuration. I use the same drivers as before, just only update the bios.

    I tested with the latest divers chipset intel and Nvidia alsow driver and it's always the same.
    So my concludes is the BIOS, is Toshiba knows something about this problem and work on a newer bios?

    Sincere friendships Ishmael

    Everything indicates that the BIOS 4.10 is the problem common to the always high speed of the graphic fan even when the PC is in sleep mode.

    I want to see action as a new revision of the BIOS 4.10!

  • Satellite P30-141 - fan constantly running

    Laptop for a few years now and can't remember but don't fan run always.
    Its really irritating.

    The fan is not at full speed but runs of course.
    Power settings do not seem to help.

    Your thoughts.

    Well, what to say. The fan should run continuously to cool the internal devices like CPU and GPU.

    But a question; have you tried to change the settings in the Toshiba Power saver?
    I mean in particular the method of cooling, CPU control method and CPU processing speed settings.

    Please check everything first.

    If it doesn't help then I think that there is not much to do because the BIOS to control the rotation of the fan, and this cannot be changed.

    By the way; did you check if the fans are free and that the air circulates properly?
    Check it!

  • Process creates the CPU to overheat and the Fans to run like crazy:

    I am ripping DVDs on different Macbook cradle fully aware that it's requiring treatment.

    The 2011 with 16 GB of ram and hard disk SSD, the process runs on 330% of the processor, blasting the ability and heat

    revolves around 100 c/213 F.

    Interesting enough the same process on 2 late Mo Pro 2008 with less ram do not overheat in the extraction process. The program are identical on all the Pros of 3 MB. The processes are the same, but on the old MBpros the processor load is between 130-150% up to more heating is not that great a problem.

    But the MBPro of 2011 with top material tearing overheating of the processor and fans running at full speed.

    I noticed that too much work with other programs or is running only a few programs at the same time seem to heat from the processor and the fans make some noise + cpu run hot with my MBpro 2011 and El Capitan.

    It is possible to restrict a program that use a large part of the resources to avoid overheating?

    Other solutions?

    Well a Late 2008 Macbook Pro has a intel core 2 duo, so the max he could run is 200% (2 CPUs time 100%) if the application can do enough on 2 processors in parallel.

    Your 2011 Macbook Pro has very probably a 4 core CPU intel i7 with hyper-threading.  If an application can use hyper-fils, there is a potential of 800% max.  The 330% could just be that the DVD cannot keep up with the CPU, so it does not hit its maximum potential because of the famine of data.

    I don't know if the speed of the DVD drive in 2008 was the same as the 2011.  If the 2011 is able to read data more quickly than the 2008, then it can provide given the CPU faster, keep the much busier CPU so it can consume more power, and more power consumption more than the heat generated.

    MacBook pro 2011 ends a DVD in less time than the 2008?

    Basically, you are trying to compare 'Granny Smith' vs 'Golden Delicious' apples and expects the same taste.

    Regarding the other programs, put this SSD in your Macbook Pro means that any code or data that the application needs to get the disc are convinced order or magnitude faster, so that the application did not slow the CPU and keep crank, causing the CPU to keep them busy and thus attract more power, which is converted into heat causing fans to run.

    It is also possible that your SSD generates more heat.  Solid State does not always mean longer running costs.  Much would depend on the brand and the model of the SSD and it is the power profile, and it draws more power for writing vs readings, and how much nature more expensive power you're done.

    Information point.  I put an SSD in my 2009 27 "iMac and it works more hot because my iMac can do more in less time.  I put an SSD in my Macbook Pro 2011 and if I ask him to do a lot of work, like backups, it starts its fans, as the SSD is always quick to provide data for backup, there is no waiting for the discs, leaving the lower idle CPU.

  • Upgrading the processor on the Satellite U200

    I have a PLUA0C U200-PT300E and I would like to upgrade the processor in it. I bought a T7200 processor on eBay since it was the most powerful available for laptops U200/U205 CPU. However, when I installed it, I came across a series of problems. First the fan would run at full speed and the computer would briefly have blue screen after Windows loading and then it could restart. He just kept this again and again. I ran MEMTEST because I wasn't too sure about what the issue was. The computer locked up during the test, and then I was unable to restart it. I replaced the processor with the an original T2300E, then the cimputer starts and ran perfectly.

    Any ideas why this happened? Was the defective CPU? Both the U200 and U205 come with the Intel 945 GM Express chipset and I have the latest Toshiba BIOS for the U200/U205 (v 3.70) so it doesn't seem to be compatibility problems.

    I wonder if it is the CPU that my own past experience if a CPU is not compatible with a chipset then the computer or the other does not start or it will give errors as soon as it publishes. However, this would be POST and would start to load Windows before it crashed.

    I m didn't ask you with all these questions. Why you not a not post here until you have made the decision to upgrade CPU?

    In any case, I think that the answer to your questions, you will find under http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm
    Please read carefully what Toshiba guys talking about CPU upgrade.

  • Satellite U200 - 10K will beep continuously

    Hallo,

    When I run the satellite U200 - 10K (Vista), from the start, it gives me continuous beep... beepppppp... I can work... I can open applications, but the beep is not going offf. What could be a reason possible to this problem, hardware / software?
    I have not installed new software on this system?

    Aerts

    Hello

    These beeps are rare! Normally, the laptop would beep if the BIOS detects an error. But this beep should not appear constantly and the laptop will not start!

    I can't believe that this issue could be also related to software installed on the laptop.
    In my opinion, the laptop must be verified by a service provider authorized in your country.
    One question; have you tried to recover the laptop with the supplied restore CD?
    This procedure would fix the laptop back to the factory settings. If the tones will not stop, I think that there is something wrong with the hardware.

    But don t worry buddy! The guarantee must be valid and would cover everything!

  • Drivers Vista x 64 required for Satellite U200

    Hello

    is - that someone has installed Vista x 64 on the satellite U200? I want to change to 64 bit now, going to 4 GB of memory as well.

    Someone at - it experience with drivers that work? For chipset, wireless and images there is no problem. For the fingerprint, I have as well. But what with added value package? Is this compatible with the x 64 and the Flashcards as well? Anyone tried to install it?

    Thanks for the replies!

    Snipe of the marshes

    This information very useful and interesting to s. I n t have any experience with Vista 64-bit and, therefore, it of Nice to know that this OS runs much faster than the 32 bit OS.

    One question; compare you the results of 3Dmarks with the 32-bit and 64-bit version?
    I think that this value could be interesting for everyone who plays games on Vista.

    Thanks again

  • Satellite A660 - fan 90% on battery optimized mode

    Hi all my dear users of Toshiba that I really respect because they use such great brand Toshiba. I hope you have the time to read my problem and that its length can not bother you and you can do me favor and answer me.
    I am from Egypt and I recently bought the Toshiba Satellite A660 - 17M. It is really a great device and I've updated the BIOS twice on the official website of Toshiba and now I have the 2.00 BIOS os independent.

    My problem now is that the fan cooling and here's what happens with me. When I adjust method in the Toshiba cooling ensures peak performance so that the temp is between 36 to 63% and the fan speed is 52 to 75% and it takes a lot of time turns off because it is not easy to reach the beach of temp which makes it either stops when I'm inactive or work.

    The largest part of the problem is that when I change the method of cooling battery optimized mode everything working the fan going to 90% and rest, so never or up to this I put the laptop before in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 minutes. Then it is cool and it stops. So in the meantime either inactive or work done, it jumps again to 90%. When I turned off my laptop and wait to be completely cooled, then turn it on while in battery optimized mode the fan starts working during start-up only stops until Windows starts completely then it climbs to 90% and remaining so ever except when I force him to be cool by placing it in front of the fridge.

    My friends, I think that it is not logical to always work in conditions of refrigerator and also it is illogical to have fan always 90% especially that I'm on battery optimized mode.

    What is the problem in your opinion, and if someone has the same laptop can help and describe what is happening with him also. I do not remember if these events are produced before BIOS set to day or not as I they weren't in my mind before BIOS update and I don t know whether or not this happens also before the BIOS update.

    From what I understand, is that the battery optimized mode fan running weaker than the maximum performance mode. Then what's happening and if you say he remains silent until this than complete Windows starts and runs then 90% to compensate for the accumulated heat, I agree with you, but shouldn't t happen to some extend then stops at the battery life optimized according to the name of the battery optimized mode.

    Really I am so disappointed and now know what the problem is. Please help and don t advise me to call Toshiba. Whatever they say please send us the laptop. I m waiting for your responses and thanks a lot for the time spent reading my message.

    Hey,.

    Normally if you use the battery mode optimized for the method of cooling the fan will run less maximum performance. So your laptop will work more silent, but with a higher temperature but usually you don't notice it.

    So if this happened only since the update of the BIOS is you load the default settings in the BIOS after update? Go to the BIOS Setup and press F9 to load the default values. Then save & exit the BIOS Setup.

    I would be also interesting to know what operating system you are using. What is the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba or your own installation?

    The fan should be cleaned from time to time using a jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans. This can also help improve the cooling. An accurate and interesting article on cleaning the notebook, you can find here:

  • Satellite A30 - fan still working

    Hello

    My Satellite A33 (although the case said A30 my model number indicates otherwise), there are problems of overheating for some time now, the fan always runs at full speed. I'll have to raise the notebook so that the fan can get more air.

    I'm not sure why this happens, is just needed a clean place (never did)?

    I looks as if it has two fans, and it does not blow out as much air as the other or not at all. I don't know much because I moved new laptops, but I use it when traveling.

    Can you help?

    Thank you.

    Hello
    You say you ' never played cleaning and this may be the reason for overheating (clogged cooling module). So, do the following:

    1. clean your computer with air well. If it does not help and your computer is out of warranty you can take it apart. Check then if it has 2 fans (I dunno if this model comes with 2 fans if it has 2 fans and them does not work replace it at all).
    If you decide to dismount, step this www.irisvista.com link to remove the statement
