Soft, click sound on my Satellite P850 - A839

I have Toshiba Satellite P850 - A839
Core i7
8 GB RAM
toshiba 1 TB harddrive
Win 7 64 bit

I begin to hear the sound of light soft click of laptop
Don't now where it comes
I think it's in the middle to the right and slightly down
So I think it is close to my hard drive

Sound appear only after 13 minutes. Windows startup
And then appear every 3-10 sec.
Can disappear for a while, but back

The performance of my laptop is excellent
No freezing or hanging or other things don't like that

I examind hdd by a large number of programs, but all say its ok

.......
Some people say that its normal and if it has disappeared from your system will be
Slow!

Please let me know what is and how do I make it stop.

I think also that noise from the HARD drive, but there is nothing unusual. When the HARD drive is not in use read heads move sideways in safe position. I guess you can hear this sound sweet when that happens.

There is no reason to panic. All I can recommend is to create the recovery (DVD or USB) disk, and from time to time make backups of data.

  • How to disable the clicking sound on the Satellite touchpad

    Hello

    Usually, the touchpad does not all sounds.
    I guess you have a USB mouse and sound appears due to the use of this mouse.

    I have no idea what mouse software, it is, but I think you should check the settings within this tool.
    Otherwise, you will need to check the control panel-> mouse
    There are a few options that are available for the mouse and touchpad.

    Hello

    Really strange question.
    Have you tried to uninstall / and / reinstall the audio driver?
    Please do it.

    Audio driver can be downloaded from the European pilot page Toshiba.
    Before installing the new driver, remove the pre-installed sound driver and restart the laptop. After that the installation of the downloaded new driver sound.
    Restart the device and test it.

  • Satellite P850 - Headparking HDD / annoying clicking noise

    I bought my Toshiba Satellite P850 12z a couple of weeks and since day 1, he made this annoying rattling noise. After a week or two to try to ignore it, I searched what it is. I guess it was the click of death, but discovered that it is actually a function of the hard drive, designed to protect the disc if it has fallen, guarantor of the head on a ramp when idle.

    Apparently, it is supposed to do this every 30 seconds or Yes but mine did it more than 1 in 10 seconds and I can't stand it anymore. I tried some solutions such as changing power management options at their highest level, but nothing has worked. Some people have found that the programs running as "QuietHDD" but these all seem to be 32-bit and no work on windows 7, as they must be run as administrator.

    I left about 4 days until that my 21 days return policy runs out and I need to know if there is a way to change this or if I have to return the thing. The only thing I've found that helps is to keep the HARD assets with defrag disk, but it works only for about 20 minutes at a time. I've had laptops before and never had this problem and there is no way that I can put up with this noise for 3 hours while trying to write an essay.

    Thanks in advance to anyone who replys.

    Hello

    The clicking noise is nothing unusual, and in my experience, that depends on the HARD disk that is built into the laptop.
    I have two laptops equipped with different hard disks.
    A HARD disk created this little snap, the other doesn t.

    On my laptop Toshiba the HDD protection that utility is installed which helps protect the disk drive HARD against mechanical damage.
    If this utility is enabled, or active, the head of the HARD disk is exposed. The internal Accelerator sensor measuring vibration and if the vibrations are too strong, the sensor to unload HARD drive head to avoid damage to the disc.

    If you want you can uninstall or disable this feature, but I do not know if this m will eliminate the rattling noise
    If you can't stand the noise, you might try another HARD drive

  • Satellite P850 - 3 repeated Crysis crash to desktop

    Hello!

    I recently bought a:

    Satellite P850 - 31L
    Part number: PSPKFE-00P007EN

    and I'm very happy with the laptop overall. However, I have problems running 3 Crysis and Assassin Creed 3 on the device.

    In both cases, that they often crash to the desktop and are followed by a journal of events applications such as:

    The failing application name: crysis3.exe, version: 1.2.0.0, time stamp: 0x02f47040
    The failed module name: d3d11.dll, version: 6.2.9200.16420, time stamp: 0x505a95af
    Exception code: 0xc0000005
    Offset: 0x00068dd7

    Its pretty easy to see that the problem is related to DirectX 11 on the nVidia card.

    I have a laptop specifications lower HP with a 230M nVidia GeForce series running Assassin Creed 3 without problem (although it won't run Crysis 3 due to the lack of Dx11 support).

    I have tried to update the drivers for nVidia display current offical those on Satellite, but am prevented from doing so because of the soft lock used in Toshiba hardware.

    I am currently using the drivers of December on the Toshiba site.

    I wish I had a solution to this problem as I know that the laptop is more than capable to run these two games more than adequately. My guess is it's a tension within the video memory, but not problem can not test what I do not have a pilot exposing this.

    Thanks in advance,

    nVidia Driver can be installed in the Device Manager, but the use of these drivers is at your own risk.
    To install the driver through the Device Manager:

    1. open Control Panel.

    2. in the upper left of the Control Panel dialog box, click the words 'Classic view' causes the control panel to switch to Classic view.

    3. double-click on the icon customization and - after the Customize dialog box is displayed - double-click the display settings option.

    4. click on the button Advanced settings of the display settings dialog box.

    5. to the map of the dialog box tab advanced settings, note the exact name of the adapter type that is currently in use. This can be important if you ever want to return to this driver.

    6. after jotting down the name of the existing adapter type, click Properties. If Windows asks you for permission, click on continue.

    7. click Driver tab, then click the Update Driver button.

    8. Windows will ask if you want to automatically search or search for a software driver. Choose the option "Browse my computer for driver software".

    9. in the next dialog box that appears, click on the option "Let Me pick from a list of drivers for devices on my computer.

    10. a list of video drivers will appear, and you must scroll to the bottom and select Standard VGA Graphics Adapter. Click next after making the selection.

    11. Once Windows indicates that it has updated the driver software, you can click Close or Ok many times that you should close all open dialogs of the control panel. If, during this process, Windows asks you if you want to restart your computer for the changes to take effect, click Yes.

  • Satellite P850 138 - left button of the touchpad works most completely

    My touchpad started acting strange.

    left mouse button has stopped working completely and the right hand one worked only intermittently, and whenever I clicked on legs, be it firefox, IE, Safari, or whatever it is in the menu at the bottom such as a folder bar or whatever it is she she closed (no im not not by clicking on the red X)

    Then all of a sudden after awhile he would all start working again. This has happened twice now.
    Restart the system doesn't do nothing there just suddenly starts and stops all of a sudden, but the periods for which it occurs seems to get more time.

    Also the icon of touchpad in the corner with the cross through it has decided to turn its self on a few days ago and found out that the touchpad was disabled on its own and figured out how to re-enable.

    I know this isn't a virus as ive run lots of different anti virus on my system and I was wondering if his time to restart the computer in the store and get a replacement as ive she was only 4 months old

    Its really annoying as im a photographer and rely on this laptop for editing phot o. can someone please help :)
    My model is satellite P850 138

    Hello

    My personal opinion, you should not replace this laptop until you tried not to workarounds.
    First you don t know if its software related issue.
    The point is that if its software delivers, you could solve it easily recover the laptop using the recovery of HARD drive option.

    Please try to configure the computer laptop initial configuration using disk HARD recovery.
    Press F8-> choose fix my computer-> drive HARD recovery

    If HARD drive recovery is not available, press F12 and check if there is a HARD drive recovery option.
    After the system recovery, make sure that the touchpad and other features of the laptop.

  • On Satellite P850 - 30Q fan noise

    Hello

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite P850 - 30Q a week ago and overall, I love the machine, nice design, good performance, great speakers... BUT:

    The FAN NOISE is driving me crazy? I had a lot of laptops different in my life, but never experienced something like this. Normally I don't notice not the fan, but this laptop I noticed that the fan.

    At idle, I can hear the HARD drive - I can live with that.
    Fire use, desk and surf the internet and as the fan lights up now and then to 53% and really loud! -Its disturbing when I'm trying to study?
    When I play games the fan is 53% permanently, and after like 5-15 min, to happen to + 80%, what is really strong? -I can live with the fan when I play games, but not when I study or use it for use of the lamp in the train or the school.

    Am I the only one to go through this?

    If there is no resolution, I will return the product to the store. Its just sad when I like the rest and despite the fan Im happy on this issue.

    Hope you can help.

    > great but when I play games it rattles

    Have you noticed the usual fan noise or noise appears as something wrong with ball bearing cooling fan would be?

    It s nothing unusual as fans of cooling would turn faster everything!
    While gaming, the GPU and the CPU produce a lot of heat. This increases the temperature and therefore the propellers rotate faster. Here's how it works!

    But if the fans create an unusual sound, then that would mean that the cooling module may be defective and THIS should be verified by technicians is why would I wait not for any solution, but IF it's a hardware problem, the solution is just a replacement of parts.

  • Satellite P850 - 12 X - not impressed

    Hello

    I recently bought a laptop Satellite P850 - 12 X and have had problems since day one.
    Loose hard drive sounds, the LAN adapter is flaky and the system is subject to random freeze

    I tried to reinstall windows and then all the drivers, just in case where he was a software, but nothing helped.
    Obtaining all the relevant drivers in a single package was also a nightmare.

    They are all available, but individually, rather than as a single product.
    Maybe I was looking in the wrong place, but you would think it would be easier.
    Also did a full factory reset but not joy. Seems to be hardware related.

    I had before Toshibas and think they are great, but this issue just feels unstable - probably just the individual product, I rather than the series, but according to the subject I am not impressed at all.

    Maybe I should have stuck to the reliable TECRA series that you could probably throw down the stairs and they still work.

    Off for a replacement/refund, but may think twice before of Toshiba in the future.

    See you soon.

    Hello

    The driver can be downloaded from the Toshiba page as a single package.
    For me is not a big problem and I prefer this method because I can choose exactly the driver I need.
    Even if someone would need all the drivers available, it s not really a pain to download drivers one by one.

    Regarding noise from the HARD drive:
    Well, I have two laptops: a Toshiba and the other from another manufacturer.
    The Toshiba notebook is equipped with a 250 GB HARD drive and the HARD drive is really quite.
    The other laptop supports 500GB HDD and the HDD is much stronger
    I think that this is not portable but the HARD drive which is built in

    However, I m going to replace the two hard drives with a SSD drive at the moment, the SSDS are much cheaper and I guess that I notice much better performance by using the SSD drive

  • Satellite P850 - question about infrared port

    Hello

    I have Windows 8 Pro installed on my laptop and I downloaded all the drivers and everything works well outside the infrared. I've looked everywhere on the internet and I can't find a remote to use with this laptop (especially on the Toshiba site).

    I installed the latest ENE CIR driver (v4.1) as well as the Manager of Toshiba remote (v3.1.0.1). I looked in Program Files to open the command handler Toshiba remote but when I click on the program to open... Nothing happens (including in the notification area).

    So my question is can I actually get a working remotely with this laptop at all, and if not then, what is this infrared port for because I don't find anything on my computer to actually use with/for?

    Hello

    Some Satellite P850 models are equipped with the control distance and its possible to use the remote control with Windows Media Center to play discs or videos, see photos and watch recorded TV shows.

    Models who don t understand the a remote controller are * NOT * equipped with an infrared receiver for laptop cannot operate with a remote control.
    The remote was not part of the package for your portable computer does not support the infrared receiver and the Toshiba Remote Control Manager and ENE CIR driver installation was therefore unnecessary

  • make a clicking sound from inside my Mac

    Just started today. Every few minutes I get a clicking sound from inside my iMac. It seems to work ok, however. Thought, it may be overheating and cleaned by vacuuming all the vents, but it did not help.

    Perhaps an early indication of a hard drive failing. Support everything up immediately (if you have not already) and get it checked with a free diagnosis in an Apple Center.

  • Satellite P850 32Z: battery not charging

    Recently, I had problems with the battery, which means that I need to plug my AC adapter all the time. The battery in the taskbar icon indicates that the battery is 68% and these last days. Placing the cursor on the icon says "plugged in, not charging", and the battery on the laptop light does not illuminate. If I unplug the AC adapter, the laptop shuts down completely.

    I also tried the cold reset following instructions (from the section "Solving a problem" to support)
    1. power off your laptop and unplug the AC adapter
    2. remove the battery from the PC (for models with semi-fixed battery, please follow these instructions)
    3. press the button power for 30 seconds.
    4. then, plug in the adapter without the battery, turn on your computer and start Windows normally
    5. wait 5 min. and then replace the battery on while your laptop is turned on

    In step 4, when I turned on the laptop, the laptop starts and the battery light is on. But then after a few seconds, the battery light turns off and the laptop turns off.

    Someone had this problem?

    I have the same question. I bought a new battery. It worked for about 1 hour from 67 percent and amounting to 100% and then my laptop just died. Now my old battery indicates 0%, no charge, my new battery says 0%, 8 minutes at full load. So I'm a little confused about this and don't know if it's only a battery error. I'm going to service this week, so I know what the problem. I have the Satellite P850 - 33 m
