Tecra A8 - is overheating caused by Firefox?

Here in the forum is my post
http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=50994&TSTART=0

Everything counts in overheating, which is resolved.

Just to add, this processor "overheating" may also be caused by Firefox. I mean, when I close Firefox, rest process firefox.exe Firefox active leading to the processor of work increased, with temperatures similar to those of the screenshot in my very first post at the top of the page link. And after killing the process, everything is Ok.

Hi Suad Novic,

To be honest I n don't know what problems you have but in my opinion it of normal Firefox produces the CPU usage. I use this browser for years now and never had a problem and for me it of normal that the laptop is cooler if no application is started.

I think that if you try the same with Internet Explorer you also use most of the CPU.

    Windows 7 with firefox 34.0.

    A few days ago I installed firefox 34.0, and at the same time, AVG safe Search decided to move against my will in Firefox. Since then, I had a few problems. I can't tell if they are caused by Firefox or AVG Search. I hope that someone can identify the culprit and have solutions.

  • Tecra R840 - atikmpag.sys causes bluescreen

    Hello

    displaying videos on my Tecra R840 sometimes I get a blue screen with the atikmpag.sys driver.

    Happens to every time, but often - about one in four times or more.

    The blue screen occurs especially at the beginning of the video - but sometimes also in the end.

    In the download for my Tecra area, there is only one pilot display of 2012 - I have installed.

    I have Windows 7 64 bit, 8 GB of RAM and the AMD Radeon HD 6450 M.

    Does anyone have a tip for me?

    Thank you very much in advance

    Anne

    Hello

    Because this problem does not always, but sometimes, it would be very difficult to reproduce this BSOD and therefore, it is not very easy to say why the BSOD appears.

    Is that file atikmpag.sys belongs to the graphics card driver.
    It seems that the graphics card driver crashes, and therefore the BSOD occurs.
    But why?

    I have two different theories:
    (1) the graphics driver is not fully compatible with the new software installed, tools (games), etc., but the fact is that the Toshiba driver page does not provide all new GPU drivers for this model of laptop. The other point is that the same driver version worked correctly in the past and I m wondering why the same driver should not operate correctly now if it worked correctly in the past.

    (2) my 2nd theory is that the BSOD appears due to the higher temperature of the internal GPU. The highest temperature is mainly a reason for blockages of the system and also responsible for issues of the graphics card.

    Have you tried to reinstall/recover the system? Isn't it?
    I would recommend you do this using the Toshiba recovery disc. This procedure should always be made in the event of system problems.

    I also recommend you to clean the modules of cooling using a jet of compressed air. That would help you get rid of the dust. Dust is mainly a reason if it comes to a temperature higher inside the laptop.

  • GPU overheating causing system crash

    My T61 was resurrected after a spill major drink completely killed a few months ago.  The shop dismantled it, cleaned it up carefully, it, and now it works fine, except for one problem.

    When I do something that involves video (YouTube or playing a DVD movie), the system is likely to stop completely.  I'll hear a soft click, the screen goes black, all LED indicators go black - completely dead.  By pressing the power button does nothing.  To restart the machine, I have to remove the battery and unplug the AC power.  Then when I plug the battery back in, LEDs, and power by pressing the button starts the machine up.  As long as I'm not all the videos, everything is back to normal.

    I went through this cycle now maybe 50 times; He doesn't seem to get any worse or better over time.

    I installed GPU - Z and turned on logging, then deliberately caused the stop playback of videos.  The judgment seems to invariably occur when the temperature of the GPU is over 110-113 degrees Celsius.

    So, two questions:

    (1) there may be heat sinks that would need to be re-sitting?  Cooling which would need to be cleaned?

    (2) is it possible to replace the GPU?  I have a nVidia NVS 140 M.

    Any other suggestions would be welcome.  Unfortunately, this system is more under warranty.

    Thank you
