Tecra A7 - overheating and shutdown

Hello

I've had Tecra A7 for a few months now. Whenever I try to play a game, the left side of my laptop gets hot. So hot that I can not put my hand it over.

Because almost all games require that you use the WASD keys to move around, it's very annoying. In addition to that my laptop decides he has shut down due to overheating very frequently. I cleaned all fan openings with compressed air, but it does not matter. Whenever the left would become hot.

This allows me to play about 20 minutes and then it stops and I have to wait that he freshen up. I have a Tecra A7 with a battery PA3399U-2BRS I looked up so special that the battery was the cause of the problem. According to the utility, my battery is not eligible for the battery replacement program.

Now, I try to find out why he gets so hot until he must stop in order to avoid the laptop burst flames probably.

Hello

Can I ask you how you use the laptop? Please make sure that the fans are free and that there is enough free space around the laptop!

It s not uncommon as the cell temperature increases during the paid game.
In such situation, all devices (CPU and GPU) run with maximum efficiency and produce more heat as usual.
It is very important that all the fans are free

What graphics card driver do you use? Graphics drivers from Toshiba are slightly modified and support a protection against overheating.
If the GPU temperature will rise to a higher level, the graphics driver decreases the performance of the GPU and the temperature drops!
So, it is advisable to use the graphics drivers Toshiba.

But sometimes the overheating could occur due to improper functioning of the cooling module.
In this case, the laptop must be verified by a service provider authorized in your country!

  • New Dell XPS 8700 overheating and shutdown itself

    I bought my new XPS 8700 4 days there and that's the first problem, my pc is overheating and I don't know why, I have it on my desk so no dust can damage as it have enough space around fans.

    The problem is that the pc is overheating even when I do nothing, its just to put on a few sites and after some while pc crashes: the screen goes all black. The last time it happened I had the only song on YouTube and I was typing on Facebook, when suddenly the screen goes black and pc closed down, ive checked CPUID HWMonitor where I discovered that my graphics card is approximately 70-85 ° C.

    Second crash is almost the same as the first, but with this difference that the pc remains powered on and just monitor the message "entering power saving mode" and can not be awake so I have to hold the start for 10 sec button to restart my PC. Im a little scared because I am sure that it will not be caused by any software just because the computer is 4 days old and I has not yet opened the case (im not sure if I can just because of the warranty)... What should I do? It is necessary to call Dell technical support or I can solve it it somehow better?

    My PC specs:

    Intel Core i7 4770 Haswell, 16 GB RAM, AMD Radeon R9 270 2 GB, SSD 32 GB + drive HARD 2000 GB 7.2 k, 8.1 Windows Pro 64 - bit

    Sorry to hear that!

    If it is only a few days old, contact Dell Tech Support as soon as POSSIBLE. In the United States, you have 21 days from the date of billing (no delivery date) to request a replacement. Then contact them immediately if you want to have it replaced. Otherwise, arrange for Dell fix this one, if all goes well in your premises...

    BTW: Open the case do not void the warranty.  But if you replace all of the equipment installed at the factory, Dell may ask you to reinstall the original parts, before they honor the warranty.

    I hope that get you it fixed quickly!

  • Qosmio X 500-overheating and shutdown

    Hello

    I have a Qosmio X 500-10T - which I have been in love with for the past 12 months (Yes, just out of warranty!). As with a disturbing number of posts here he suddenly decided to close during execution of any type of graphics.

    Read the other posts, it seems that the main reason is overheating (maybe a cleanup option)-my question is... why the fans are not running at full blast? According to the health check tool, the cpu temperature is only about 60% and the fans are running may at about 60-70% max. They make very little noise compared to what they were.

    Both fans are running, but seem not to be running at the right speed to generate heat. (if that is what is originally shut down - can't think anything else)

    Anyone got any ideas? The problem started literally just the last 24 hours and I did no changes to the bios/drivers before the problem.

    Any help would be appreciated. Will get on the phone Monday morning to the Toshiba support and will report back if I can't find a solution before.

    Hello

    It sounds like this dust is in the heat sink and your laptop should be cleaned using the jet of compressed air. This could blow out the dust from the cooling fans. You can get air to each computer dealer normally stream.
    Check this box!

    I clean my cell phone every 3-4 months and I m always asked how much dust out. I think that s important to clean but it only takes a few minutes. :)

  • Satellite A300D - overheating and shutdown

    Hello

    I have a problem with my 3 month old Toshiba Satellite A300D-126. Any time I play a game like Call of Duty 4 or Warcraft after like 15-20 min, the left side of the laptop where the cooler is placed, it is overheating, almost too hot to the touch, and finally the laptop stops.

    I have to mention the fact that, recently, I installed XP (all the drivers downloaded from the Toshiba site), but I somewhat had the same problems on Vista also.

    I downloaded MobileMeter, and temperatures have shown here I think that they are not normal:
    Temp - HDD-35-36 degrees C and 80-85 C (when I m only not with the games, so I think that during the Games time. significantly increase)

    Is it possible that the cooler can deal with games, and it is dusty? If so, how do I to clean?

    Allows any kind of response,

    Thank you

    Hello

    I play call of Duty 4 on Satellite A300-1LI and so far everything is fine. Okay that's the different hardware platform, but I still believe that there should be no difference.

    I think CPU temperature is perhaps greater than usual but, in my opinion, not the critical level. The normal temperature of the hard drive and the same as on my Satellite A300.
    I don't know how you use your laptop, but it is the new model of laptop and I don't think that there is so much dust inside. If the laptop is placed on the desk, try putting back on two CD boxes and place it on the top position. Reduce graphics settings in the game and check again.

    Is the method of cooling energy savings of Toshiba to the maximum level?

  • HP Pavilion DV4-5110TX overheating and thermal shutdown problem

    HP Pavilion DV4-5110TX under Windows 7 Ultimate x 64

    I had problems with this computer from the beginning, to be honest.  But now the situation is unbearable.

    I can't go even 30 minutes making the slightly intensive tasks involving the graphics card
    (Like the game in low detail, do a rendering/CS/CAD work) without thermal shutdown due to a problem of overheating as a result of misplaced fan. and the fan on this thing is very very strong, even in low market (another downside of this model, but it's not the point).

    SpeedFan shows average at 90 c CPU and GPU Temp about 65 ° c temp. Even when doing absolutely nothing (like now). What does really serve to accumulate all these heat? solve the world huger?

    I tried to clean the vents, use the Compressed Air used an expensive Cooler Fan, reinstalled Windows and other drivers HP and demand several times now. and I exhuasted.

    Then. Help? Anyone?

    Hello Opscsd.  I understand you are having some problems with the closing of overheating and/or random downs.

    How long have you had this laptop?  It is still under warranty?

    The fan makes a noise of rattling sound similar to what you would expect if the fan was loose or is it simply "strong"?

    You have ensured that you have the latest version of the BIOS?  You said you updated the drivers and applications so I assure you.  I think it's the latest BIOS for your laptop.

    I would also make the built in Diagnostics for hardware (RAM and hard drive because they both can cause similar symptoms).  This will help narrow down the cause.  If you don't know how to do these tests take a look at this document.  Be sure to view the results.

    I will keep an eye out for your answer.  I wish you a great weekend!

    I tried to increase the fan speed with riva tuner and precision, but no program allows me to access the utility of fan speed.
    I presume this is because it s a specific card from the laptop... I also can't find the driver for this card from nVidia updates.

    Help, please... James

    Hello!

    Are you using the Toshiba display driver? This is important because the pilot factory don t have protection against overheating and the graphics chip can be damaged.

    In addition, this could also be an overheating problem. If you need to clean your laptop with a jet of compressed air that you can buy at a local computer retailer.

    Last but not least, I would not try to change the speed of the fan or something else. This will be controlled automatically.

  • CPU is constantly overheating and freezing Satellite Pro A30

    Hi guys,.

    It seems that my CPU is constantly overheating and freezing of the PC.
    (is - what happens when a CPU is overheating?)
    Fans are turn eratically.
    The radiator seems warm enough but still palpable - even if it's just.

    As a trial, I would change my CPU clocked at 2.6 Ghz for
    a slower, cooler to see if it solves the problem.
    Can I just swap, or do I have to change something
    to ensure the new processor running at slower speed?
    Is there anyway I can say that the current of the processor to run
    at a slower speed?
    (I can not even installed on windows
    the PC hangs before the end)

    Thank you
    Ray.

    As noted by James energy saver controls the speed of the CPU and cooling method.
    You can change the settings and check if it will help.
    But a question; How much time do you use this laptop or how old is?
    Sometimes after long use, that dust and debris could have a bad influence on cooling and fan modules.
    For the most part a cleaning cooling module would avoid overheating. But I would not recommend to clean the laptop yourself if you have no experience.
    In my opinion a technician should do.

  • Satellite A30 303 overheating and random stop.

    Well on this laptop, it came out over a period of 20 months ago, the last year I had an overheating problem, I temporarily delayed by buying two desk fans to him but this summer I sent him far from being 'fixed' then after 1-2 months to be fixed the problem slowly began to re-occuring more often most of the time when I run the games.

    Then I talked to some friends and they said on the incompatibility of the RAM somehow another ram of 256 in and it was not compatible with the original so I removed it and purchased a new 512 to go with 256. ALWAYS the laptop turns off, so RAM incompatibility was not the cause. I also bought a cooler laptop yesterday, that actually made it worse my computer now turns off a few seconds of a game being loaded.

    I went into a store model, and they said to the ventilation systems for laptop as if they were defective when creating, they will continue to be faulty even when 'fixed '. What can I do about it? I'm looking for the cause.

    I also had the computer under warranty for a year, but now the problem that was supposed to be fixed reappeared, but im now out of warranty, can't that ask something since the same problem they're supposed to difficulty is still there?
    Any help appreciated.

    Hi Bill,

    Overheating and random power offs are surprisingly common on this model of laptop. The problem arises because the debris and dust is sucked into the grilles of the fan on the bottom of the laptop and is then trapped in the heat sink CPU effectively blocks. A thermal cut-out will work when the CPU temerature becomes too high and turns off the phone to avoid any damage.

    Regular clearing of debris in the heat sink is necessary (I do mine a week). Usually a domestic pipe against the bars of fresh air fan will be sufficient, although in severe cases, it may be necessary to remove the radiator (accessible by removing a panel of access at the bottom of the laptop) and manually clear the debris.

  • Satellite Pro A60 - is overheating and shuts

    Hello

    I have a problem with my A60. I start and everything goes OK. I put in a temporary monitoring software because it works for awhile and then just stop. What I see happening now, is that it will heat up to 65 then the fan comes on and at 55 it stops. This can happen a few times, and then he forgets turn on the fan. After that he climbs slowly until she happens to 85 when he cuts. I bought a stand 3 fans and now it stays on as long as when it goes on the fan circuit anointed, gets it to 77-80 and stays on. The problem is if I USE then overheating and stop again.

    What control actually (and fails to start) the fan cut in the process. This part of the function of the BIOS? Updated BIOS ver 1.7 to ver 1.9 will make a difference? I'm afraid that this update will not end before overhearting and I'll be left with an unusable machine.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you.

    >.. .a finds a way to fix it properly.
    This type of hardware components are not fixed but replaced so if you think that the cooling fan is defective exchange it.

    One more thing, the vacuum cleaner is OK, but you can't wait to clean up your laptop to look like new. I disassembled my Satellite M70 and was surprised how much dust was inside.
    Just after the withdrawal of the ventilation openings, I was able to clean it properly.

    I burned the iso to the disk, but I can't get the laptop to boot from the disk in the read me file that comes with the bios it says to press F12 to start the laptop. F12 doesn't do anything for me. How to boot from the CD I am using Windows XP Service pack 2.

    Hello

    First of all if you want to boot from the CD, you must change the boot order in the BIOS. To get into the BIOS, you can press ESC and then F1.
    Another possibility is the C key immediately after starting the laptop.

    If the laptop overheats so I guess the fans don't work properly. In this case, you should try to clean the fans. (use the vacuum cleaner)

  • Qosmio F20 keeps overheating and stops after 4 h

    My F20 is 5 months old and keeps the unit from overheating and stopping. It does when it worked for about 4 hours. I use a cooling and support to the recommendation of the support line, I've updated the bios.

    They also suggested it works without the battery attached unit, but when I removed the unit from the battery and it ran on the sector it would not pass.

    Any suggestions?

    Hello

    First of all, please check the energy saving settings.
    The cooling method must be on "Maximum performance".
    Also change the method of control of the CPU on 'Auto '.

    In addition, you should check if there is enough room around the laptop.
    It is very important because of the airflow.

    In addition, you can check the ventilation openings. It is possible that the cooling fans may not work correctly because of the dust and debris inside the ventilation openings.
    I read a lot of comments here in the forum and it seems that fans of cleaning might help. You can try to use the vacuum.
    But if you do, be careful!

    If the laptop overheats after this procedure so I would recommend contacting the Toshiba service partner in your country. Your laptop should be covered by the warranty at the moment.
