Re: Satellite A660 fan runs very often and it is really loud

I have problem with fan, it runs very often and it is really loud.

No it is not but....
First I got toshiba a660 13p and there was problem with button under the touchpad. I noticed that it ran silently and I was very glad of it but I decided to change it becouse of that button. So, they sent me another toshiba a660 but this time I heard fun all the time. Of course from time to time it got louder even when I did nothing on it. I don't thing is normal when I can't sleep with laptop next to me.

  • Satellite A300D - Fan running very loud and notebook is getting very hot

    I was wondering if anybody could point me in the right direction as what to do with the overheating problem i currently have with my A300D. I have had the laptop for under a year so it is still under warrenty but i am not sure where to go or what to do in order to repair it.
    The problem: Around two months ago I noticed the fan running very loud and also the laptop becoming very hot. Now it runs so hot the laptop switches itself off completly. The heat being fanned out of the laptop is so hot! burns your my infact.
    Has any one any advice they could offer me.
    Thanks
    James

    Hi James
    You wrote that you have the notebook under a year so my questions is did you already clean it?
    The notebook should be cleaned every 3-4 months and I do this every 3 months. Every time I do it Im wondering how much dust comes out and after this procedure the notebook is a lot of cooler.
    Here is an interesting Toshiba article about this:

    Compressed air spray is really useful and you should check it yourself!!! ;)

  • Satellite A660 - Fan running fast

    Hi,
    today I purchased a new A660-1FM i7 laptop. I'm fairly pleased with it so far except the fan noise.
    The minimum speed it runs at is 68%, rising to 75 and sometimes 90% at times.
    It never goes below 68% even when nothing is is running (sat on desk top only).
    Is this normal? My previous Tosh lap top fan just cuts in and out as required.
    This new machine is far too noisy as I use in a quiet room most of the time.
    I have played with all the power options including the cooling settings but does not make any difference.
    Please help as I really don't want to have to talk to PC world (The place I bought it from) as I know they'll be totally un helpful.

    Hi Richard1970,
    I cant agree with you... I have this wonderful notebook in front of me and I can confirm that the fan also stops sometimes as on other notebooks, especially when you use the Eco mode.
    My A660 is equipped with Core i7, 6GB RAM and nVidia GT330M graphic card, so a lot of powerful hardware and Im using Windows 7 64bit.
    If I play games on it for example, the fan runs on highest level but thats normal and its not annoying because I hear the game sound.
    But if I use it for browsing in the Internet, the fan stops or almost runs on very low level. I use the Eco mode and changed the cooling method to battery optimized No problems at all and its really quiet.
    By the way: What BIOS version you have? Im using the latest version, 1.80-WIN

  • My MacBook pro is running very slow and unresponsive.

    My MacBook pro is running very slow and unresponsive. I have mid 2010 model running on lion. Past few days it looks very unresponsive. Tried to reinstall lion as clean copy. Still no luck. Any help on this is much appreciated !
    My model has 4 gb ram.

    Things That Can Keep Your Computer From Slowing Down
    If your computer seems to be running slower here are some things you can do:
    Boot into Safe Mode then repair your hard drive and permissions:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions Pre-Lion
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Repair the Hard Drive - Lion
    Boot from your Lion Recovery HD. When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Restart your computer normally and see if this has helped any. Next do some maintenance:
    Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    For situations Disk Utility cannot handle the best third-party utility is Disk Warrior;  DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible.
    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.  Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger.  These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
    OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
    I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
    For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack.  If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line.  Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
    When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand.
    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
    Carbon Copy Cloner
    Data Backup
    Deja Vu
    SuperDuper!
    SyncTwoFolders
    Synk Pro
    Synk Standard
    Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
    Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
    Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
    Additional Hints
    Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
    Add more RAM. If your computer has less than 2 GBs of RAM and you are using OS X Leopard or later, then you can do with more RAM. Snow Leopard and Lion work much better with 4 GBs of RAM than their system minimums. The more concurrent applications you tend to use the more RAM you should have.
    Always maintain at least 15 GBs or 10% of your hard drive's capacity as free space, whichever is greater. OS X is frequently accessing your hard drive, so providing adequate free space will keep things from slowing down.
    Check for applications that may be hogging the CPU:
    Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu.  Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order.  If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar.  Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
    Often this problem occurs because of a corrupted cache or preferences file or an attempt to write to a corrupted log file.

  • Hard drive is running very hard and warm

    I recently had a hard drive issue with my mac book pro and basically had to erase everything and then restore all my files from Carbonite. I have now restored all of my files and I think Carbonite is now rebacking those up, but in the mean time my hard drive is running very hard and causing my lap top to get very warm. Is this normal? Is it because of the back up/restore? Or is there something wrong with my fan or hard drive?

    Install iStat pro (from the Internet) and open it.  It will show you the internal temperatures of your MBP and the fan speeds.  Also open Activity Monitor to compare the internal CPU activity with the iStat pro data.  Post both for an evaluation.
    Since you have suspicions regarding your HDD, make certain that you do have backups.  You might open Disk Utility>First Aid and 'Verify Disk'.
    Ciao.

  • The fan is very audible, and then winds down to almost quiet - why? how do i make the fans be quiet?

    the fan is very audible, and then winds down to almost quiet - why? how do i make the fans be quiet?

    hi, re my fans, this issue is about 1 week old and the machine is behaving normally.  However...the bottom of the machine is quite hot (but it has always been quite warm) and I do have my battery settings in preferences set to high performance (uses more memory.)  Also, I often stream video thru Firefox while working on medium/large Photoshop Docs as well as leaving ITunes or Preview open in the background.  Also, I leave my MacBook on continually...it's 3 years old...should I be concerned?  Is this issue indicitive of a battery problem or Sudden Computer Death Syndrome?

  • New MacBook Pro fans run more often?

    I bought a new 15" MacBook Pro 2.2GHz and it seems like the fans run more often then my previous MacBook Pro. Is this normal, I am not running any intensive applications but I am using a Verizon air card. Could the air card use processor power or did Apple change the fan settings to keep the computer cooler?

    nah.. if they were you would most definitely hear them. And if your MBP is running the fans at 6000RPM constantly, then your thermal sensors ain't working as they should be, cause inside your system there are four sensors (one in the core, one on the heat pipe and the other two are on the case ether end of the heat-pipe)

    wen6275,
    It looks like you're actually using a camera or phone to take a photo of your monitor.
    That's not what is commonly known as a "screen shot". 
    It looks like you're on a Mac.  Hitting Command+Shift+3 places a capture of the contents of your entire monitor on your Desktop; hitting Command+Shift+4 will give you a cross-hairs cursor for you to select just the portion you want to capture.
    I'm mentioning this because I fear I'm not construing your original post correctly when you type "I am working with a large files [sic], currently it has 149 layers, all of which are high resolution photographs", so I'm wondering if there's some similar use of your own idiosyncratic nomenclature in your description of your troublesome file.
    Perhaps I'm just having a major senior moment myself, but I'm utterly unable to imagine such a file.  Would you mind elaborating?

    XSERVE 10.6.8 is running very slow, and Workgroup Manager is not responding. There is no more updates to download.

    1. upgrade to lion, which should over write previous software and the reasons for it being slow.
    No, you don't want to upgrade over a buggy system, Lion has issues of it's own that will only complicate matters, plus Lion is slower than Snow Leopard.
    Learn all the pitfalls before you upgrade to Lion, like all your Rosetta/older programs will no longer work and more.
    Leave Lion for a new hardware purchase is my advice, it's still got plenty of security and other issues.
    For your performance, your likely better off replacing the hard drive with a 7,200 RPM model and maxing the RAM, download the free MacTracker to find out your specs, and OtherWorld Computing is good for videos, tools and parts.

    2. Format the hard disc and reinstall snow leopard.
    That will work, provided your data is off the machine first.
    Now how do i reinstall snow leopard as it was an online purchased upgrade from leopard.
    The 10.6 Snow Leopard disk that you upgraded 10.5 Leopard from actually has the full OS X 10.6 on it.
    All you have to do is stick the disk in and hold the c key down while booting, use Disk Utility to erase the entire drive, quit and install 10.6.
    Of course your not going to get the free iLife that came with the 10.5 grey disks, see if you can first install 10.5 with the same methods, then setup with the same user name as before, then upgrade to 10.6
    I think Apple nulled booting off the 10.5 disks, but it won't hurt to try.
    Another method would be to install 10.6 fresh by itself, then use the program called Pacifist to extract iLife from the 10.5 disks.
