Tecra 8100 CPU gets too hot

Well, some may remember my previous post about the fan activation in my Tecra 8100.

This laptop came to me as a gift by a customer, because the screen didn't work. After some research, the problem was the internal cold cathode that was broken. Once replaced: Yes! a free book for me! It was a Pentium III 650 Mobile, with 64 MB of RAM and a 12 GB hard drive. I replaced all the components (which are now on sale, btw), and now has a Pentium III 850 Mobile, 512 MB of RAM and a 40 GB hard drive. Someone gave me a card PCMCIA of WiFi 11 Mbit/s, and now how it works with Windows XP Professional and updated Toshiba Utilities and drivers downloaded from Toshiba USA.

What's the buzz? SpeedFan, Motherboard Monitor and other monitoring utilities reported temperatures up 72a? Aºc in the processor. I opened the computer laptop and put thermal paste instead of the sticker that has the heat sink. Temperature guard high and utilities Toshiba even with parameters ' cooling high performance "does not have the fan to cool the cpu...

I hangs at all, but the business cards and pcmcia laptop have too hot even with the system works with any of the applications running. Lowering of the CPU clock or the ratio helps not at all.

I think putting a fan somewhere extra to force air circulation and that cool the cpu, unless...

... Toshiba could develop a utility that allows you to directly control the fan speed. I don't know if the thermal management is hardware or software-driven. If it is a software-driven, it should be easy to create a utility that directly access the fan and temperature records. It would be MUCH better than simply let the computer decide when and how long to activate the fan.

I'm sure that Toshiba engineers are busy with more important things which will not create the utility for us, so...

.. What to check or do to cool the CPU at more appropriate values?

Thank you all!

Hello

As in you previous announcement describes the Toshiba power saver controls the CPU and fan usage.

This software works very well, and if you use the laptop as prescribed, you should not get all the problems and overheating problems.

The problem is that you have changed all the devices and parts on you laptop. The new parts are effective, but produce more heat.
On the laptop you can cool the CPU with a small fan, and if she goes out, it is necessary to decrease the performance of the processor.
It is a simple fact. All these functions can be set with energy saver.
In addition, it is very important that your cooling module is clear and free from dust and debris obstruct the work of fan.

    I have a laptop Acer Aspire 4310, it gets too hot (85/90) degree Celsius.

  • Tecra 8100 - CPU max, DVD - ROM and BIOS update issues

    1. I have a 500 MHz processor on my 8100. I would like to upgrade to maximum capacity. I think it's 800 MHz since it is the highest, the series went to.
    But if it's 800 MHz, any Mobile PIII on this frequency do? Or should I check for special settings of the processor?

    2. I don't have a floppy, or ways to get drive one. And I'm not going to ebay one just for an update of the BIOS. Any ideas? A bootable CD with the files will do?

    3. What is the location of the DVD-ROM and what alternative models can I use? The 8200 went up to 8 x DVD - RW. Could I go further?

    Thank you. I hope that my post is OK like this instead of three different positions.

    1 take a look at the other Tecra 8100 models to determine which processors are compatible.

    2. I don't think that would work a bootable CD, you must follow a special procedure to update the BIOS and requires a floppy drive. If there is a version of Windows, you must use that instead.

    3 upgrade the DVD player can be difficult because you must use the correct master/slave settings, and it must have the same design of the façade of the original.

    Personally, I'm selling the laptop and buy a second hand faster one. It can work out to be cheaper.

  • Tecra 8100 - CPU Upgrade

  • Satellite A300 - Touchpad gets too hot

    I bought a Satellite A300 last week and I noticed that when I use the computer for an hour or so the touchpad becomes very hot.
    And also the area of the left hand next to the touchpad.

    Is this normal? Is there a way to reduce it?

    Thank you

    Pedro.

    Hi Pedro,

    I put t know what what is for you hot and wasn't, but on my Toshiba Satellite laptop I've never had a problem that it too hot.

    Normally, I recommend to clean the laptop with a jet of compressed air, but I think that is not necessary because the laptop is only a week.
    Maybe the fan or the heatpipe is malfunctioning. Or the thermal grease to be renewed

    I put t know but in your case, I would go to an authorized service provider. Technicians can check your laptop and it should be free, because the laptop must be under warranty if it s a week-old.

  • Satellite L40 CPU is too hot?

    I just bought a Satellite L40 with a intel T2370 processor and I have a feeling that its temperature is high enough.
    Everest ultimate sensors show a temperature around 70 c during operation.

    This temperature is normal?
    Other users have a similar temperature?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    The temperature of your laptops is certainly not too high!

    You need to know some important facts;
    First a few 3rd party tools don t always provide values for temperature of 100%!
    Second, the internal temperature is constantly changing.

    Running some games, videos, or other high performance programs would lead to higher heat dissipation and a higher temperature
    This is a common behavior of laptop so don t be worried that something is wrong with your laptop ;)

    By the way; the laptop supports an overheating protection. It will stop automatically if the temperature is too high.
    If the computer laptop doesn t turns off automatically, your CPU temp is ok.

    Good bye

    My computer feels hot to the touch near the fan, y at - it no way to fure the fan works properly, or a way to make it work better?

    Assuming that the fan is running, it is likely that there are a lot of dust in the case. Buy a can of compressed air, open the case and take it outside where you have to blow off the dust with the can of air compressed.

    Do * not * use a vacuum cleaner, which can fry the motherboard with a discharge of static electricity.

  • Satellie Pro P100 - overheating or too hot

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro P100, PSPAEE, that runs way too hot, the GET so hot that I have to stop using it as my hand keyboard and the base is sick after getting too hot.

    It all started when I did a lot of driver and BIOS updates, because I have them all at the same time it is difficult to know if it is a driver or the last BIOS that causes this problem.

    Before I got them used fan be racing monte and down constantly like a yoyo, even when it is cold, the BIOS updated has now run fairly regularly but I don't think it of this or not, this alone.

    I don't see a older BIOS on the support pages so don't think that I can do this backward. I've seen a few posts about having to use the Toshiba NVIDIA video drivers, otherwise it can overheat, but all my drivers are of Toshiba.

    Toshiba Support or anyone else has any ideas, what happened only since the BIOS and update the driver so I can't imagine it's only my machine who suffers with this.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Have you tried to clean up your laptop using a jet of compressed air? This could blow out the dust from the cooling fans. I always use a can of compressed air to clean my laptop because it is very easy and I you must remove.

    Have you downloaded the BIOS for your laptop model (PSPAEE)?

    ================================================================

    Could be heat related - try using a small fan to blow into the air intakes to see if that helps.
    It is just like it loses power or stop it in the normal way? Keep in mind
    This associated heat does not always mean too much heat as it is often a part or a component
    who is too sensitive to normal levels even heat.

    Remove ALL power and reinstall all the memory cards and cables (both ends where possible).
    in fact, remove and replace - don't do not just tight. Remove the dust bunnies and clean the
    air vents. Check that fans are working (before and after opening the case). When your laptop on all the
    You can do is to reinstall the memory and clean the vents (still may try to add a small fan as a
    test).

    This sounds like material so if the above does not help you then probably need help

    Tecra 8100 is a little older. Am I wrong? I checked the page of the Toshiba driver and there is not a lot of XP drivers for this Tecra series. Most of the drivers are for OS W2k Win98and.

    I recommend you to check the cooling fans. Maybe dust and debris inside prevents air flow correctly and so the laptop can not be cooled very well.

    The speed is set in Mhz, so it depends on the model how Mhz, the processor of your machine has.

    The exact clock speed is written on the label on the bottom of your machine. You can also try CPU - Z to determine the exact speed of your processor.
