Problem with satelite overheating

Hello guys, i have big problem i bought my toshiba-satellite-s70-b-10t one year ago, and now for lets say 2 weeks ago i have problem with overheating i cant play any game more then 20 minutes if i continue then SHUT DOWN... What is problem? I try to clean it , i have cooler pad...

It happens with both desktops and laptops, but it's more noticeable with laptops. As they get pushed to their limits, they heat up, and when they get hot enough, they shut down. You could try blowing out the vents and fans, making sure you're keeping it well ventilated and cool, and even purchasing a cooling pad if you'd like. Of course, this keeps it cooler, but it could still get too hot if it gets pushed hard enough.
Without looking at the computer, there's no way for me to know whether you have an issue. It could be overheating too easily, although this is also expected behavior. If you'd like, you can contact customer support at (800) 457-7777.

  • Problem with ipad overheating........please help

    im having a problem with my ipad, it's an ipad 1st gen 3g version.
    The problem is that it is overheating, on the back around the left corner ( right if you are looking at the back)
    it can only be used for about an hour then over heating happens.
    i have been told this could be the battery needs replacing, so was wondering whats your thoughts on this.
    any advice is appreciated.

  • Still Having Problem with Battery Overheating with Car Dock/Charger when using Maps/Navigation

    I'm having a problem with the battery overheating when using Google Navigation in the OEM Samsung car dock and car charger.  On a trip last weekend, I started off with a fully charged battery (because posts on other sites have complained that the Charge cannot keep up with the power draw of the Google nav app while using the car charger).  About an hour into my trip, I got a message that the battery was overheating and to unplug the charger which I did.  I then had to contend with the screen going out because it was running on the battery.  I let the phone discharge to about 70% then tried the car charger again.  Within a few minutes, I got the same overheating message.  It was not an overly hot day and the car A/C was set at 68 degrees.  
    This morning (with the battery at about 85%) I tried to use the Navigation without the car dock while charging and got the same results...the phone battery overheated and I had to unplug the charger. The battery temperature reached 116 degrees. (also, the battery level was also dropping while using the Maps or Nav application even though it was hooked up to the car charger).  
    I'm very disappointed with this situation since I was hoping I could replace my old Garmin GPS with the Charge.  But between the phone dimming the screen while running on battery, and having a depleted battery in the phone at the end of the trip, its just not a viable option.  I really like this phone, but I'm running against the "return" clock.  
    Any ideas?
    Could this be a software problem that will be corrected by an update in the future?
    fyi:  other Charge problems in the last 5 days:
    - dropping audio on calls to other Verizon phones.
    - use of camera flash causing the phone to reboot.
    (I do have the 'class 4' 32gb card in my Charge)
    Thanks in advance,
    Rich

    Jerry:
    Yes, the phone is charging while in the car dock.  I confirmed it both under the "about phone-status-battery status" menu and by my battery widget.  By watching the battery widget, I also noticed that the voltage steadily increased over the ride home.  It started at about 3.90 volts and ended at 4.02 volts.  I don't know if that is significant.  This time the battery did not overheat.  The Max temp was 110 degrees, but no notice to disconnect came up.  This might be because the sun was behind me on the drive home rather than beating down on the dash like it was this weeked.
    I've ordered a cheap universal dock from Amazon for about $15.00 which clips onto the a/c vent.  I want to see if this keeps the temperature down.  If this works, I can still return the fancy-schmantzy Samsung OEM car dock. (The car-dock interface wasn't that impressive anyway).
    Please let me know if the volt change means anything.
    And thanks again for your help!

  • Problems with Satelite R15-S822

    I have toshiba satelite r-15 laptop, after it is on for a while the mouse starts sticking and windows seem to want to either not open or move back to their original position (when trying to move them).  I replaced fan thinking that the CPU was over heating- but fan runs and changes speed appropriately, and I have done very thorough virus/spyware scans and system is clean.  The most perplexing part: when drive is "nuked" and during OS install, hardware problem does not occur....??? 
    Any ideas?
    Thank you for your input.

    The error occurs with or without mouse.
    I nuked drive, then re-installed with Toshiba disk.
    I updated all windows updates (except IE 8).
    I removed unused Toshiba software offers (trial period software, anti-virus, etc).
    I defragged machine
    After this I started to get freeze up, and now I get error on boot:
    check system. then press [f1] key.
    When f1 key is pressed, it takes me to CMOS, but then keeps wanting to kick me out to "Quit without saving changes".  Errors and functionallity appear to be time dependent...erg system seems to get more "sticky" the longer the computer is on. I suppose this must be hardware issue...I thought maybe the hard drive, but they are expensive and I dont want to be chasing my tail fixing this.
    Thanks for input.

  • Problem with Satelite M500 cant start at all

    1st question, how to get the specific model no like mine m500 -xxxx where to find the xxx part?
    2nd problem, i have this satelite m500, it works normally like all other laptop, but there's this problem where it randomly happen. It works well in the morning but after i shut down it for some hours, i cant start it anymore. After i press the power button, wat i see is media button light is on, mouse pad light is on, but the screen didnt start up, is like u start up the "light" of the laptop but the inner part is not running at all.
    It happen a few times to me before, for those previous case, i jus keep on on and off till it works normally. for now, its not working for more than 12hour.. not sure whats the  main problem. i've check on the ram, its not loosen and it seems working because i can feel the heat.
    please help..

    1) Try starting it without the battery in.
    2) Try starting it on the battery only, without the AC
    3) Power it off, unplug the AC, remove the battery:
        i) then remove the RAM modules,
       ii) next replace 1 RAM module in a different slot
      iii) replace battery and AC
       iv) try to restart
        v) repeat i-iv till you get it to start, or you have tried each RAM module in each slot
    If you can get it to start with one of these methods, and Windows seems stable running that way, then flash update your BIOS following all the directions. But, you should NOT update the BIOS without the AC plugged in.
    If it starts properly after the update, power off, replace everything, and try to power it on again.
    Good luck

  • I have a MacBook Pro and I'm having problems with it overheating, is there anything I can do to keep it cooled down?

    I am a new Mac owner, and I'm currently stationed in Kuwait.  My MacBook gets super hot on the bottom and it's performance starts to degrade.  The weather here is in the mid 80's now, I can only imagine this problem will get much worse once the temps go above 100 in the near future.

  • Problem with overheating

    hey,
    I have a mac os x 10.5.8 i have a problem with overheating. i use my computer about 30min and behind the computer its very hot. I dont know why it gets hot so fast. is there any way to fix overheating?
    Message was edited by: xbackdownx

    While those temps don't represent any emergency, over time it is better to run the computer cooler. The hardware will last longer. There are two things you can do. First, run a small fan aimed at the upper left back, where it is the hottest. The aluminum back of the iMac acts as a kind of heat sink, so this will help dissipate some of the heat at the back and allow the back to work more efficiently as a heatsink.
    There is also a free, small fan program, smcFan Control. The Mac's own fan program won't boost the fan speeds until things get far too hot. You can use smcFan to boost the minimum speeds of the fans. Leave the default as one setting and start by creating a new setting only a few hundred rpms above the defaults. I have created four or five different settings in increments of around plus 15-20% up to near 2K for use in different conditions. Your room temp at 26C which is close to 80F -- not that cool -- will also determine how cool the computer will run.

  • Overheating problems with 865PE Neo2-S ( 6728 )

    I have the same problem with my MB. When the CPU is idle it's temperature is 42 degrees C, but when it get's stressed up it growes up to 62 degrees C. THe heatsink is well in place, and has good contact with the CPU as well as the fan which is working correctly. Once the temp grew up to even 72 degrees but when I touched the heatsink it wasn't hot as I suspected. Also quite often a situation happens when the graphics in a game are starting to get " jumpy " which is followed by sound slowing and eventually the computer stalls, so I think that the overheating is real. I would really use some assistance.

    I dont think there is anything wrong with the CPU, CPU cooler or not even the casing fans.
    My system config is
    Pentium 4 2.8GHz C Processor
    MSI NEO2 865PE Mobo 512MB DDR333 Kingston (BIOS 1.1)
    450W PSU w/4 Fans cooler system
    ATI Hercules Radeon 9500 Pro
    Iomega 48-24-48x CDRW
    WD SATA 36GB HDD
    WinXP Home SP1
    SB Live
    Creative 4400 Inspire 4.1 Speaker
    When I boot up my PC, without running any application it is already 52 degree celsius.  After running General 5 it goes to 60+ ,  Dark Age of Camelot (Graphics intensive) it goes to 70 degree (Sometimes it just reboot while i am playing this game).  What is this?  My casing has 4 fans and my system temp is only 37 degree celsius.  How can my CPU temperature be so high when I didnt even overclock.  So what could be the cause of the problem.  Problematic Corecentre or MSI 865 PE NEO2 bug or whatever.  I really regret choosing this Mobo over Gigabyte PE1000.  FYI, my friend who fix the same system has the same problem as me.  So it is impossible that all of us didnt fixed our CPU cooler properly.

    You should be fine running stock cooling (if you dont overclock) ...your problem is more likely to be airflow in and out of the case -to prove this try running with the side pannel/Casing off
    If that works then you need to provide more airflow to the case not change your cpu cooler ...a bigger/more efficient CPU cooler will just increase you case temp unless you provide more airflow to the case

  • Will bootable copy of drive recreate problems with overheating?

    Hi, all, first let me say I am outside of my comfort range with my skills so some of these questions may seem pretty dumb. So, sorry for that.
    Through my own posts and reading the posts of others, it is clear I have to take in a MacBook Pro 17" Core Duo Intel to get it fixed (almost out of warranty so I have to move on it). It spins and gets hot with the lid closed, freezes when opened and requires restart a couple of times a day, sometimes has a long buzz on force restart. I probably mangled the transfer of files from an iBook, though using migration assistant - may have transferred incompatible settings somehow. I got an external drive from OWC and am ready to download SuperDuper! at the recommendation of many of you experts. We run Leopard on the Pro 17" and will need to use a MacBook Pro 15" Core Duo Intel running Tiger as the "keyboard and screen" from the bootable drive I plan to create on the external drive. (BTW, I have never done this before) Would we expect any of the power management/sleep issues to be recreated? Obviously if it is a hardware issue, I would expect NOT to see it, but is there a chance it is software related and would therefore show up on the clone? Thanks.

    Yes it does sound like you need to send in your MBP soon before the warranty expires. Be sure to do that. My niece did that recently, and got a very fast turnaround. She sent it off at 6:00 PM on a Tuesday, and it was back by Thursday morning.
    It is a little difficult to say what is going on from your description, and I'm not entirely clear on what you are doing.
    Super Duper (which I use) will make an exact copy of your hard drive on the new external drive. If you have corrupted software or something like that, it will be the same on the external.
    To make the clone, you connect the new drive to the 17" MBP and when it has mounted, just launch Super Duper and specify the source and target volumes and Super Duper will do the rest. You will then have an exact bootable copy of your drive on the external drive.
    You will then be able to boot the 17" MBP from the clone. I don't know if you can boot the 15" from it or not. If the builds of the two machines are different, you may not be able to. However, you should still be able to mount the clone on the 15" MBP and access the data.
    I have read of many problems in migrating data from a Power PC platform to an Intel Machine using Migration Assistant, so you could have some problems with that. Here is Kappy's Guide for doing this:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=435350&tstart=0
    For power management and sleep issues, have you tried resetting the SMC?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411?viewlocale=en_US
    It probably won't fix all the problems on your 17", but it could fix some of them.
    Have you tried running the extended version of the Apple Hardware test on the 17"? It might give an error code saying what is wrong with it. If so, let Apple know when you send it in.
    The real question is whether or not the 15" MBP will boot from the clone. I don't know if it will if the machine builds are very different. If it does boot, there is still a possibility that it may not run perfectly due to the difference in build.
    The real value of the clone is to preserve all your data before you send the machine in. You may even want to wipe the old drive of any sensitive data before sending it off. If the old drive is replaced under warranty, you will not get it back. Even if it is not replaced, often the drive is erased and the OS reinstalled in the troubleshooting process, so there is no counting on getting back your data unless you make a backup, which is exactly what you plan to do.
    When you get the 17" MBP back, you can use Super Duper again to clone everything back from the external drive to the internal drive.
    I'm not sure if this answers your question or not. Please post back if you need further clarification on anything.
    Good luck!

  • Satelite 1400-503 problem with a DVD+R

    Hello,
    I have a problem with my dvd - rom. Family of me have burned a dvd+R. Now can't i play it on my notebook. So i tested a dvd-R and this works well.
    A friend of me tells me that i can change some configuration of something like that so i can play the both formats. Can someone help me with this???

    Hi
    I don't think this is a setting to be changed. The drive must support the + format.
    This is not very common if the machine is not very very new. If You get this problem with the built-in drive of Your Sat1400-503 and it is not replaced by some unsupported one, then I am very sure that it does not support the DVD+R format.

  • Overheating problem with PowerBook G4 17"

    Hi,
    I've recently noticed my PowerBook getting really hot. Is this likely to be a problem with the fan and if so how would I be able to find out?
    Thanks

    You need to read the actual temps to tell if there is a problem. "Rather hot" can mean different things to different people. As you have Tiger, get a free Dashboard widget here:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/istatpro.html
    iStat Pro provides a lot of info about your system. Download it and post the temps you see to get advice on whether your are too hot. Supposedly, processor temps can approach 212F/100C before the computer does a safety shutdown.
    Can you hear the fans? The ones on my PB17 1G come on around 125-140F (60F).
    Other things to consider:
    1) Are you placing the Powerbook on a blanket of pillow? Not recommended--the aluminum case bottom is part of the heat dissipation system.
    2) There is a long, narrow hot air aexhaust vent under the hinge in the back. It must not be blocked
    3) Use your Activity Monitor (AM) utility to check for runaway background processes. To see them you will need to set AM's "Show" menu to "All processes." It defaults to show only user processes.
    Be aware that Apple had trouble with Apple Hardware test for the PowerBook G4. Apparently versions shipped with some computers did not work and neither did later ones posted as disk images on the support site. My 1Ghz PB is so affected.

  • Problem with Battery and Keyboard Light

    First off, sorry if this is in the wrong section. This is my first time on these forums.
    Just today I was skyping my girlfriend on my Macbook Pro (that I got in the summer or 2010). I have SmcFanControl installed and I regularly use it to monitor/increase my fan speed. As I regularly skype and play WoW on this computer, my computer temp often sits around 160-170 degrees F.
    Today it was at around 170 and I had it on my lap. I sat up and jostled the computer a little and it shut off. The power cord light, which was green, immediately turned off. I tried unplugging it and plugging it back in and it stayed off. The computer wouldnt restart for about 30 seconds. Finally after hitting the power button several times it turned on.
    It worked fine for 10 or so minutes. I assumed I just moved it too suddenly, although I have never had a problem with that before. Then, I moved again and it shut off AGAIN. It took another 30 seconds to register the power cord and to turn on.
    This time, when it booted up, it said my clock was set to a date before 2008, althought it was still at Feb 16, 2011. Also, as soon as I turned it on, the fans were going full speed (as loud as when i have SmcFanControl set at 6200 rpm). I opened SmcFancontrol and it says my computer's temp is at 32 Degrees F and 000 rpm, which I know is not correct. I can't change the speed of the fans and the temp of the computer hasnt changed at all.
    Also, my battery icon has an X through it and says "No batteries available" "Power Source: Power Adapter." The green light is very dim on the charger.
    AND on top of this, my keyboard lights no longer turn on, even pushing F5 and F6. I am in a dim room so they should auto turn on.
    I am afraid that I may have overheated the computer, but I was wondering if anyone has any advice. I was thinking of opening the back up but I dont have a small enough screwdriver at the momment. I also tried doing the "top -u -s3" command to check cpu% and my highest one is Firefox around 10-15%.
    Any help would be appreciated. I'm thinking this is gonna require a look at the Apple Store, however I am an out of state college student and I'm not returning home for another week and I need my computer for assignments.
    Sorry for the wall of text. Thanks in advance.
    P.S. My computer is up to date.

    SMC reset works best with anything that relies on power for the machine. When it comes to batteries SMC reset and PRAM usually do the trick. Also a lot of people miss this, do not plug on the top plugs use the lower plug.
    As for the temperature on the lap, expect a lot of heat, the computers are designed to lay on flat SOLID surfaces. The underbelly on aluminum chassis laptops act as a heatsink. In addition the rubber feet keep the product high enough so air can pass through and help cool the system.
    As far as the adapter you can have AppleCare send you without waiting a week for it. If it is an obvious hardware problem they may do an exception for you if you are out of phone support. Highly recommend APP for the phone support. You would have a battery on it's way to your current location in a couple days!

  • I have a problem with Imac mid 2010 graphics card (ATI Radeon 5670 512MB)

    I have a problem with Imac mid 2010 graphics card (ATI Radeon 5670 512MB). When I play video formats like xvid, mkv, avi iMac freezes and emits horrible sound,in service said the problem is not overheating. Not a problem with memory or hard disk because I placed second correct parts.The same problem is with OSX 10.6.8 and 10.8.4 and other players.Apple hardware test found no problem and tech tool pro found no fault.
    After five days of testing in the service they can not  found fault and it was decided to change the graphics card.
    New graphics have been tested for two days but it is not reproduced divx ... but their test software which did not find any fault on the old graphics...
    Do I have the right to complain if repair does not fix the problem because I use non apple softwere and video formats.

    You could look at the System Profile for the info it presents for the card.  But why wouldn't you think it's not up to date if you have the latest install (according to your sig above)?
    What program are you trying to run?  Is there anything in the system log? 
    I think it's the program that's having the problem and not anything with your video software.

  • Problem with BSOD/Freezing probably related to Nvidia driver on Touchsmart IQ810

    I have an HP Touchsmart IQ810, now a little elderly but otherwise going strong.
    For the last couple of years now I've had a problem with occasional/frequent BSODs, one or two a week. Using crash  dump analyser WhoCrashed this is almost certainly related to the driver for onboard Nvidia 9600GM video chip. The usual advice is to make sure you have the latest driver, but I've tried more recent drivers and they seem to make the problem worse - rather than BSODs, I get screen freezes at least once a day, so I've gone back to the old driver version.
    I've run the hardware diagnostic tools and found no problems, I've even tried using MSI Afterburner to turn down the clock speed of the card to prevent overheating, but this makes no difference. BSODs/freezes sometimes occur not long after booting, so surely it can't be overheating.
    I've pretty much had to put up with this but I would like it fixed. Any suggestions?

    NVIDIA and RADEON Drivers, depending oin what they are doing can really point you in the right spot. If you are still having issues after fully removing and reinstalling the drivers then you are looking towards a Hardware issue. I would check the contact points on your motherboard and other hardware, this is looking more like an issue with your motherboard.
    The biggest problems for example when it comes to computers with RADEON cards, because they are big like the NIVIDA cards; just moving your computer or bumping it can cause damage to your componets within your computer and cause issue like this. RADEONS cards are known to have screen tearing and different colored lines through the screen, another thing I would check is to make sure the swtich or voltage on you video card isn't flipped. If the switch is flipped the wrong way, if you end up forcing your card to hard with the little voltage it has running through it your computer WILL BSOD and MSI Afterburner won't even matter, usually voltage is a setting that you don't want to mess with when it comes to using that program, that is why they make switches on these cards.
    If it was a driver issue, your machine won't not be BSOD. The reason why I say that is because BSOD happens to help you prevent further damage to your hardware and if the correct settings are not how they should be, something as simple as skype can cause your machine to do thing's it shouldn't. I've had many issues myself that I've gone through, being in the IT field as well I've seen this to be a common issue due to changing configurations or changing what you do on your computer.
    You may of not changed anything but just a simple virus can cause programs to do what they are not meant to do.
    Boot into safemode and see if you run into this issue still after running it for a few hours, with safemode as you know. You boot with the processes that you need to run the core functions of your computer. If nothing happens it is because your computer has taken a chill pill. If everything is good and you boot into your main OS then you start having this issue again then you know it IS hardware and setting's related. Little thing's like this will make a hug difference.
    The switch also is verd had to find but it will be very small and colored white, if you still have the box you video card came in they should have it pointed out where it is.
    I hope this helps, if you have any questions please ask.

    I am trying to identify a problem with my HP Pavillion dv7 laptop
    Several months ago it started getting hot and showing messages about problems with the internal fan and battery. It would say enter = shutdown and shut off. I suspected a bad battery so I checked it without it just plugging it in with the power cable. It seemed to work better so I assumed that was the problem.
    I ordered a new battery and it worked for a while. The problem came back and is getting worse. I can run it without the battery for a while but it gets got and shows the same message.
    I read on here that flashing and updating the bios worked for some but the latest update gives me an error IHISI not support BIOS then Insyde flash not supported.
    any help would be great this PC has a lot of info on it and I dont think it is a lost cause
