Tecra A3-145: cooling fan works very often

Hello.
I have a Tecra A3-145 I just bought. During regular browsing that fan comes on about every 15 seconds and remains on for about 30 seconds. Is this normal, especially for just browsing?

Thanks for your help :)
Dan

Hi Dan,.

The ventilation system on my functions very similar to the one on your Tecra SA30. Fans usually starts in a second or two of the system being initialized and will be off until I have started using the system. Navigation Internet will usually cause fans run slowly at first, but any increase in activity such as downloading, or any use of the activex will cause fans to step up in speed.

Any use of busy graphics will cause fans to operate intensively, that will be burning CD/DVDs or video rendering.

It doesn't seem to me as if your Tecra is bad conduct. As stated in the previous post, make sure that the appliance is well ventilated.

Kind regards

  • Cooling fan runs very often on my Sat M40

    Hello
    I bought my computer 2 weeks ago. I have problem with cooling fan, it runs about 2 minutes and stop 40 seconds :/ (He lights 51 degrees Celsius and off at 46 degrees celsius). No programs running in the background and the load of the processor in windows xp is 0-2%.
    It is normal for this model or is something wrong and I should send to authorized service?

    Hi Piotr,

    It seems quite normal to me. There are various settings that you can make in the power management to change this behavior, but it is usually at the expense of the performance of the system. As long as there is a sufficient amount of air through your laptop cooling there is nothing to fear for you.

  • A100-692 left side fan works very often

    Hello

    I just bought a Satellite A100-692 with a processor intel Core Duo T2050 processor with and an ATI Radeon X 1400 graphics card. I am quite surprised how often works the fan on the left side. Sometimes it works even when the system is idle or I'm just surfing the web.

    Anyone have an idea why this is and how the problem can be solved probably? I already changed the settings of the energy-saving and of the settings (Powerplay) of ATI Catalyst Control Center.

    I'd be really grateful for your responses.

    Christian

    Hello Christian

    I know it's very annoying, but it is not a problem you have described. If you see other notebooks of other producers of the same situation there. New laptops are really powerful if compared to previous models.

    To increase the performance has a downside to produce more heat. If you check this forum, you will find a lot of discussion on the similar theme.

  • Cooling M30X-125 fan turns very often if the USB device is connected

    Hello
    I used USB devices with my M30X-125 during a few months and noticed that as soon as I connect a USB mouse or printer with external power supply power supply cooling fan works very often. With no device USB cooling fan is very "calm".
    I've updated the BIOS with the latest 1.90 out and changed its settings (reduce the processor speed) of the effect of Utility.No of power on this fan cooling issue management.
    Can you help me please in order to limit the work with the connected USB device cooling fan?

    Hello Phil

    I put t really believe that there are many options to do better. Of course if you use a USB device, the CPU usage goes over the limit of use and produce more heat.

    Try to check all the processes running and finish a useless manually.

  • Qosmio F50 - the fan works more often?

    Hello

    I installed the display driver Windows 7 32 bit in 32 bit Vista and it worked almost fine except that the fan works for shorter time compared to when Vista 32-bit driver is installed.

    Is there a way to make the fan work more often or always while aware that the driver 32-bit Windows 7 is much better, but increases the temperature of the laptop?

    Thank you

    Hey

    The activity of the fan will be controlled automatically and there is no value that you can change. All you can do is to change the cooling method in Windows power management. For each level of power, you can change between maximum performance and battery optimized. If you choose a maximum performance of the activity of the fan will be higher.

    But not don t. Important worry is that you have installed the Toshiba display driver and if your laptop overheats it would must down to protect the equipment.

  • Qosmio F30-112: cooling fan runs very fast

    Hello

    I want someone ask them, my computer laptop qosmio F30 - 112 recently whenever I start my computer, I heard that the cooling fan runs very fast (I mean) it wasn't stop differently than before his execution smooth only I heard when I play games but not continuous, then after that my computer now running slow.

    Can someone help me what im going to do?

    Thanks: rtmasagca

    Hello

    F30 is a little older series laptop I think about 3 years or more... you cleaned the cooling modules in the meantime?
    I think there is a lot of dust and debris inside the laptop and I think that keeps air from traffic and therefore fans run faster.
    Try the compressed air jet that should help to remove dust and debris.

    Good luck

  • The fan runs very often one a Tecra A6

    Hello
    I have a Tecra A6, about a month. I updated the BIOS yesterday to 2.60 and after that the fan works with intervals of 15 seconds. I don't know if it s the update of the BIOS that causes, but it was not there before... Anyone with the same problem? Can I go back to the old BIOS? If 'yes', how should I do?

    / Axel

    Hello

    May I ask why you updated the BIOS?
    Have you had problems or what?

    I think it s not necessary to update the BIOS if the laptop works properly.
    But of course, it of possible to downgrade the BIOS if you find the previous version of the Bios. But as far as I know on the Toshiba page you will find only the latest version of the BIOS. :(

    But have you tried changing the settings in the Toshiba power saver?
    What about the BIOS settings? Are there options CPU or fan?

  • Re: Satellite C660 - cooling fan work with a bang

    Hello

    Recently my computer laptop cooling fan started running continuously with a loud noise. When the screen is idle, it stops for a few seconds and start again. I changed the power balance in the Panel options, but it did not work. Even the BIOS is the most recent. Referring to discussion forums, I've changed to "selective startup" thru "msconfig" but nothing worked.

    He is 8 months old. The noise is very disturbing. Can someone please help me with this?

    Thank you very much

    Hey Buddy,

    > Referring to discussion forums, I've changed to "selective startup" thru "msconfig".
    I never heard of something like that

    Have you already tested it with cooling optimized battery method? Profile of balanced diet also uses maximum performance for cooling must change the power profile and choose the battery optimized for each profile on the battery and the AC adapter power / cooling CC. Information on all power plan options, you can find here:

    You wrote that your laptop is already 8 months old. You clean in the past?

  • Tecra A8-erratic cooling fan

    My new Tecra A8 (PTA race 83rd on Windows XP Professional) initially suffered from the cooling fan CPU refusing to close after starting upwards and go to full breath. Taking advice from this Forum, I downloaded the BIOS 4.50 and it soothed fan. Now, on battery, it remains altogether most of the time, but when I've anchor it to work on my employer's network it hums away never stops. I can put up with the background hum, but I fear that the cooling fan life will be shortened. Is there anything else I can do?

    Thank you

    Hmm sometimes the cooling module runs without any pause because of the different or bad fan that is written into the system Bios table.
    You can try to contact the service provider allowed in your country and to explain the situation with the erratic behavior of fan.

    Perhaps the good DMI string must be written to avoid such behavior strange fan.

  • Satellite C660 - Fan throw very often

    Hello

    I use a Toshiba C660 laptop. I noticed, this fan run very frequently (the temperature is 45-52 c). I tried to change "Toshiba Power Saver Settings V8.9.4.64" "Battery optimized" in 'advanced power settings', but that didn't help. I updated my BIOS to version 1.80, but he did ' help, too. When will be the new BIOS for this model?

    Hello

    Please don t understand me wrong but acitivy fan will be controlled automatically and is based on the CPU temperature. Still, the fan will start if the CPU is running on a high temperature to protect the equipment. So it of normal.

    What you can do after a few months is the cleaning of cooling as described here:

  • Satellite A135-S4527 cooling fan works more efficiently

    Hello

    I have an A135-S4527 and the cooling fan is having issues.
    It works at low speed constantly, as it usually does, but almost never, he runs in mode high speed.
    Clearly, it must be that the air temperature is high enough... about the temperature of the exhaust gases from the typical vehicle.

    I'm worried that it will burn upwards if I have not fixed, but I don't know what needs to be fixed.
    I use a "Chill Pad" USB power under him at all times to make it work more fresh than the factory settings, but this problem has arisen only recently.

    I've owned this computer from a little less than two years now.
    5 months in the property, the HARD drive failed and had to be replaced (it goes without saying, I save ALL my important files now).

    Does anyone have information on this topic or the normal functioning of the cooling fan?
    If so, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Nick

    Hello!

    As Akuma, it could be that it takes more dust in the cooling fans or fan doesn t work properly.
    So in your case, I'll try to clean first using a jet of compressed air. This could blow out the dust from the cooling fans. You can buy it at a computer retailer.

    If it doesn't work you should sent to an authorized service provider. Technicians can check your laptop and clean.
    Maybe the thermal compound must be renewed and technicians can do for you. It of a little more difficult to disassemble a computer laptop and you need to remove a large number of screws so he sent to an ASP.

  • It's strange how the cooling fan works on Satellite L20

    I have a little problem. I bought the Satellite L20-182.
    When I turn on the computer about 10 minutes is quiet.
    Then the fan starts as a hurricane, slows and stops after a few seconds.
    The fan works this way on a regular basis with intervals of one minute.
    Toshiba why don't BIOS where the fan runs constantly, but with a lower speed?

    Hello

    I don't really know what to tell you, if you look around, on this forum, will find you a lot of people asking the same thing.

    As much I know as no firmware or BIOS is available which will help in this case.
    Bad thing.

  • Fan on my Qosmio F10 works very often

    I just got my f10 back from repairs, the motherboard was changed.
    It also means that the graphics had put go5200 (I think, or was it 5700?) to a go6600.
    Now the fan is driving me crazy. No matter what I do, navigation or not even touch, regardless of the energy saving settings, the fan is switched on for about 2 minutes, followed with a second brake 30.

    Before repair the fan would not go on during navigation, that if the game or other demanding tasks.

    Is this a software problem or just my F10 is not done to manipulate graphics go6600 wise cooling?

    It's a really important question for me, be a recording musician, more or less the difference between a fantastic machine and a door stop.

    Any advice?
    Thanks to a bouquet.
    Jonathan Nilsson

    ?? It's a little crazy!

    > This also meant that the graphics had put go5200 (I think, or was it 5700?) to a go6600.

    What makes you think that? In the Windows Device Manager, it now says Geforce GO6600?

    Have you asked specifically for this upgrade?

    I never thought this to be possible.
    You bet that the fan now works at full speed at all times!
    The F10 was never designed for this vga card!

    I don't understand how this could have happened.
    He is a fan you can get here:
    http://users.PCNET.ro/SP/Toshiba.html
    However, I fear that this may damage your F10 because he is not a normal configuration with the Go6600!
    Incredible...
