Satellite U500-18F - Karmic Koala high temperature CPU and WLAN issue

Laptop: Toshiba Satellite U500-18F
S.O. Linux Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala

I have two problem:

(1) high CPU temperatures
sensors command tell me: Core 65.0 0 ºC and Core 1 66.0ºC
I did: "solution works on this issue of processor on Ubuntu 9.04 fan (and perhaps other distros too): Add acpi.power_nocheck = 1 to the kernel boot line" this line has been precisely.
The temperature drops, but little.
(2) it's no possible Enable Wireless

Any help is appreciate.

Hi juanantonio,.
If the chipset and its capabilities powersaving is no better supported you must live with temperatures a little higher...
but it's a long way at the end of specification - your system should run stable - check it out!

for the problem of wlan: go and find a driver/module for your wlan card, I guess it's a intel...
or change it with a model better supported by the operating system.

  • High temperature CPU and core on Satellite A100-680

    Hey guys,.

    I'm having a problem with the temperature of my A100-680. It holds an average base about 80 degrees Celsius (176 degrees fahrenheit) temperature and a temperature of CPU from above 70 ° c (158 degrees fahrenheit). I had the problem since the purchase and got it to clean the radiator and renew the cooling paste once without any significant improvements. This is not the normal idle temp, it can?

    Anyone else having the same problem?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi guys,.

    Sorry, but is your accident of machines or you get BSOD? Is performance not well or what?

    I mean, I have an A100 with a T7600 and the machine is like yours, but this is normal since these powerful CPU and GPU creates a few h.e.a.t..

    So, if your machine shows no such problems I described then I really Don t know where the problem is.

  • Satellite A300D Turion X 2 high temperature CPU on Vista 64-bit

    Hello everyone.

    I recently installed Vista Ultimate 64 - bit edition. Noticed that the CPU is too hot so I installed Everest to check and found that the CPU temperature is ~ 90 degrees, even if I was just surfing the internet, downloading some files and listening to music right now.

    Is this normal? I thought that 50 degrees is normal. Any advice?

    Hello

    Have you tried to clean up your laptop? You can use the jet of compressed air. This could blow the dust from the cooling fans form. To do this you must not disassemble your laptop, it's pretty easy.

    Make sure that you have enough free space around the laptop and that nothing is blocking the air flow.

    Try to check the temperature with another tool. Maybe Everest didn't read this properly.

  • High temperature CPU on Satellite M30

    Hello

    I have a Satellite M30 852 with Pentium M 1.5 GHz processor. My problem is that the heater does not start until the CPU temperature reached 70 degrees, which I think is a bit high, no mention that when it has reached this temperature I can not keep the laptop on my legs because it burns... and also to kind of warm around the touchpad and left side of the keyboard.

    My question is if there is any software I can use to take the cooler start at low temperatures, to keep, or if there is no setting I can adjust the laptop utilities to solve this problem (in addition to throttle CPU cooling where is defined in the performance).

    Thank you all in advance!

    Could PS: Anyone tell me which button support when starting, to get into the BIOS...? Because the F1, esc or del does not work.

    Post edited by: master of ceremonies

    Hello

    The temperature of 70 ° C nothing unusual and in my opinion not too high.
    Is that it s not recommended to use the laptop on your legs or in bet, etc.
    You should always be sure that there is enough free space (left, right, bottom) around the laptop for the circulation of fresh air!

    Usually, the Toshiba power saver controls the cooling method and the CPU processing speed. If you want to change some settings you should the fact in the basic power saver menu.

    PS: on m30 the phoenix BIOS has been installed and therefore, you should use the F2 key.

  • High temperature CPU on my Satellite A300

    I got my Satellite A300-1OM for a week now and I'm happy with it. I use it mainly for MS Office and internet. When it is idle, the time CPU (verified by hardware sensors app) vary from 38 to 45 degrees. However, after a few hours of nothing but MS Office and the net (or sometimes just the net), I noticed the hot feeling of laptop and the time went up to 70 degrees, even though the CPU usage is quite low. Should I worry about this? What causes the time to go to the top? The portable little died due to overheating and I hope it lasts a while.

    EDIT: the cpu is a Core2Duo T5800. I do not use youtube and other sites heavy process.

    Thank you!

    > The last few laptops are dead due to overheating...
    Hmmm... How to understand this? I don't know how you use your A300 Satellite, but I use my for the same purposes (office work) and the laptop runs for hours. It is placed on the desktop, the ventilation openings are free and portable can catch its breath.

    Of course, I noticed also that mobile is hot on both sides of the touchpad, but it is nothing unusual, whereas there are placed disks.

    So I just hope that you use your laptop on the same path and not on the bed or your lap with blocked in the lower cooling fan.

    To be honest, these tools are OK, but you can't believe them 100%. Anyway watch carefully what happens in the future and if you think that the temperature is too high contact nearest authorized service provider and ask for help.

  • High temperature CPU on Satellite A215

    Hello

    My Satellite A215 is 3 months old. I use coolfan 4.33. and my temperature is 89 degrees now... This is not normal. How is that possible? What should I do?

    To be honest, that you should not believe all you in these third party applications. For me it is certainly not the result of better and more relevant. The question is: you have problems with your laptop? Cooling fan runs on maximum speed only?

    If your laptop works well there is no reason to panic. If you notice that any part of your laptop is extremely hot I recommend you contact the service in your country, and they can check your laptop with real diagnostic tools.

    When you use your laptop to make sure that nothing obstructs the rack cooling.

    If your FAN is running constantly, perhaps your fan and cooling system are clobbed with dust. Cleaning may be all that would be useful. On the other side, try to adjust the setting in the "toshiba power saver" and try to find the settings that fit for you (performance/silence), because you have a powerful system and then it s normal that your fan is keen.

    Yet, once every one or two weeks, a high-pitched sound goes off for two seconds. It happens at times that I did not use the laptop for some time (essentially only the screen saver is running in these times), but also when I use the laptop.

    My 2 month old by Satellite U500 - 1 6 (Windows 7 64-bit, the newer version of the BIOS, drivers of Toshiba Homepage) occasionally freezes after a few hours of operation, and I have usually close with the powerbutton.

    In addition, what is far worse: most of the time even if I stopped him on a regular basis the laptop goes down when I start windows again. He stops at the W7 windows loading screen and then starts the neverending stop & start 'loopnirvana': it stops there and the laptop restarts automatically.

    When it restarts I have the option either to let windows repair or start regularly... in both cases, that the laptop crashes again and again and again... only for example the 15th start is finally successful.

    I made this experience with the version pre installed toshiba "out of the box" and hoped that a new fresh configuration with a recovery CD or W7 clean would solve this.

    But not, unfortunately, always the same behavior. If it never works so that started windwos my entire Setup is messed up and the time and date is set back to January 28...

  • Can satellite U500-10N - I install Windows XP?

    Hello

    I bought the Satellite U500-10N and it has Vista, but I want to install XP, is it possible?

    fear that if I install XP some features on my laptop will not work.

    I am in need of help, please if someone knows something I will be grateful

    Hello

    Theoretically, you can install Windows XP, why not? ;)

    But I put t understand why you want to use such an old operating system. I mean the Satellite U500 is really fast enough for Vista and Windows 7 is present in a few days. You should be happy with your pre-installed Vista version that should work well.

    The point is that Toshiba doesn't offer drivers U500 and XP so you must collect all the drivers yourself on the Internet that takes a lot of time. In addition, I think that some special functions, like the FN keys will not work because it you can get a driver from Toshiba.

    It s your choice what you do but I'd wait for Windows 7 If you don't like Vista Satellite U500 n should also support Windows 7.

  • Satellite A200-1TP - the high temperature of the processor

    Hello, I have never had a problem with my laptop up to now... I was playing a game when I couldn't play more because my keyboard was raging on the left side.
    I checked the temperature of the cpu and it was 80 c! I don't know too much about temperatures, but I think it is too high.
    I closed the game and he lowered to ~ 60, then I tried a program called orthos to check the performance of the PC while making 400 iterations of lucas-lehmer and it reached 95 C! OK, it's time to do something.
    I tried to format my laptop and see what happpens... On 'high performance', it of about 64 c and on 'power saver' must be between 50 - 55 c, a better way but I think it should be lower. I tried to clean the fan with a vacuum and I think it helped a little... I dare not open my phone because I don't know that I'll break it.
    The fan is not broken, it is running, I tried using 'speedfan' change rpm, but this program does not detect my fan so I can't do anything...
    I don't know why this is happening. I was so happy until now... I would like to repair the laptop, not to buy a laptop cooler, then... what I need to do?

    Thank you

    -Furthermore, the disc is 41 c and GPU temperature is 27 c, I think these are ok.

    Hello

    No contact, the temperature will not stay if you run applications of high performance as the games for example.
    Running high-performance programs all internal devices must run with max performance which leads to a higher heat dissipation and this leads to a higher temperature

    Of course clean dust cooling modules and debris should help cool the laptop better but it won't change the fact that you will always see a higher temperature, running games

    PS: CPU keeps the temperature of 100 degrees, that's what I found on the Intel page!

  • Satellite U500 - temperature/fan speed of degradation after overheating

    The hard drive of my laptop suddenly developed a load of bad blocks without reason apparent, so I replaced it. I started a live linux CD to copy the old drive to the new and left running overnight. When I came back to him, he ran VERY hot. It's not well crushed.
    * Since then, the fan worked up a gear more often than before *, in the original Windows installation.
    Use a temperature monitoring program, I can see a temperature which is constantly higher than both the CPU and GPU, and I think this must be the problem. I can only think that it is setting the fan speed based on this incorrect measure. I don't know where this temperature is measured, and unfortunately I do not know what it was before the problem started. The new HDD is cool, so it is impossible that the change that caused the problem.
    Someone knows something I could try to fix this?

    Hi Blah_1,

    You probably have a higher internal temperature because your new HARD 7200 RPM drive instead of 5400 RPM. For hard drives at 7200 RPM are originally more heat during the backup process racing portable to use high CPU if it s normal behavior that he s hotter than normal.

    In any case, the laptop must be also cleaned from time to time using a jet of compressed air as described here:

  • Very high readings of temperature CPU of the Mac Pro 8-core 2007

    I have a Mac Pro 1.1 updated to level with two Intel Xeon X 5365 CPU and firmware 2.1. The system has worked very well for months. However, I'm worried about CPU temperature readings. Assuming that the readings are correct, I have no explanation for the difference in typical 30 degree Celsius between the processor and the heat sink.

    Is it possible, that the CPU exceeds their life expectancy?

    During a stress test, I can see the following typical readings:

    CPU core 87 C / 189 F

    CPU a heatsink 58 C / 136 F

    B processor 91 c/196 F

    CPU radiator B C 59/138 F

    I use new thermal paste Arctic MX-2 and tried various measures, including polishing of the surface of the CPU and the heatsink using sandpaper grain 1000. Nothing has so far had no effect on temperature readings. There should be enough good contact between the heatsink and processor during the installation, because they stick well enough to remove the heatsink again.

    Max TCASE. According to the operating temperature -1333 http://ark.intel.com/products/30702/Intel-Xeon-Processor-X5365-8M-Cache-3_00-GHz-MHz-FSB is 63 degrees Celsius.

    According to http://www.intel.com/content/dam/doc/design-guide/5400-chipset-memory-controller-moyeu-guidelines.pdf the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® 5300 series include a function of on-chip temperature sensor. The heat sink provided by Apple has a temperature sensor, which seems to be fixed directly on the coper plate that touches the CPU head spreader.

    Given the following quote from the same document:

    TIM's performance is sensitive to degradation (e.g. breakdown of fat) over the life of the processor because of the temperature of the phenomena of cycling. For this reason, measuring of the processor given TCASE value can decrease over time according to the type of material of TIM.

    Anyone know if the IHS on the CPU is soldered or whether they used the thermal paste between the IHS and the die of a CPU? In the case, perhaps it could explain the current temperature readings.

    Any ideas? Thank you!

    Your temperatures look a bit high, but not outrageous. The temperature measured on the Silicon of heat will be always higher than the temperature measured on the radiator. That's what the radiator is supposed to do, leads away from the heat to the fins, which would measure even more cool.

    Your Mac allows to adjust speed of the fans to the top in a loop of feedback, founded the temperature of these measures. You can place a floor under your minimum speeds of fans. This can be done with the tool similar to some tool you already use, like the SMC fan control.

    If the processors to exceed their safe operation temperature, your Mac will perform a sudden uncontrolled power off.

  • Satellite A300D (PSAHCE) - the high temperature of the processor

    Hi guys.

Is this normal? A lot of times if I opened a second schedule it arrives at 102º C and the CPU count starts to break down to lower the temperature. My computer also crashed several times because the CPU temperature reached 108 degrees.

    Now, what can I do? I can't control my speed of fan and the fan works only when the CPU is used: (.)
    Is it possible to put the fan runs constantly? Overclocking the processor would help with this issue? I have only a fan in my computer?

    Bad OS/software/driver may cause Cpu and Gpu fiercely because of an overload. In this case must be reinstalled or removed.
