Satellie Pro P100 - Overheating and too hot

Hi
I have a Satellite Pro P100, PSPAEE, which is running way too hot, the keyboard and base get so hot that I have to stop using it as my hand hurts after getting too hot.
This all started since I did loads of driver and BIOS updates, as I did them all at the same time it is hard to know whether it is a driver or the latest BIOS that is causing this problem.
Before I did them the fan used be revving up and down constantly like a yoyo even when cold, the updated BIOS now has it running fairly steadily but I don't think it is this or not this alone.
I can't see an older BIOS on the support pages so don't think I can roll this back. I have seen a few posts about having to use the Toshiba NVIDIA video drivers otherwise this can overheat but all my drivers are from Toshiba.
Does Toshiba Support or anyone else have any ideas, this has only happened since the BIOS and driver updates so I can't imagine it is only my machine that is suffering with this.
thanks
Duncan

I just cleaned out all my fans yesterday due to the same reason.
Without cleaning it it's idle temperature is 65 or higher, after cleaning it it goes a steady 45-50.
Also what OS are you running as Vista is quite demanding.
Also I don't know if i can say this out loud but you can download a Beta notebook driver from nvidia.com (please someone tell me if i'm allowed to say this lol),
which in my opinion runs better then the toshiba one (drivers have different effect on the cards, also can produce more or less heat).
As for the BIOS, you are referring to 4.70 which is quite stable although it has been lowered in fanspeed yes, cleaning out your heatsinks should solve this, if it doesn't bring it to a service centre and let them replace the thermoplast.

Macbook pro 13" late 2011 too hot

I've been using my macbook for about 4 years in the same way with the same applications but recently I've noticed that it reaches very easily an high temperature and, consequently the fan works very hard draining my battery.
Analysing Istat pro I noticed that the temperature reaches 93° degree and more but looking up the processes it doesn't seem there is something wrong.
What do you suggest me? should I try to clean up the fans?
2 years ago I mounted the Crucial RAM update together with the 512gb ssd.
Thank you very much

Look at Activity Monitor set to ALL PROCESSES and CPU to display values from high to low. Are there applications using a lot of resources?

93°c is not too hot if the CPU/GPU are being heavily taxed.
In what condition is your battery? It is not unusual to have to replace a 4 year old battery. They do not last forever.
Open the MBP and inspect the insides. If there is dust and debris, clean it out.
Ciao.

Macbook Pro Running Slow and Very Hot!!

I took my Macbook to the Apple store and they analysed it and said that there was no problem with the actual Macbook and they updated the software. It is still running very slow and really hot. They cost alot of money and am really not happy with this happening after just two years of having it.

You are still under warranty. Call Apple tech support. Let them deal w/it.

My macbook pro is overheating and the fan is really loud. How can I fix this?

My mackbook is overheating and really loud

Try an SMC reset.

If that does not solve the problem, what temperatures are you experiencing in your MBP and what applications are you using?

MacBook Pro Battery overheating and expanding

I purchased a MacBook Pro three years ago and have not had any problems with it. However, during the last month the battery has been getting very hot. And within the last week or two, the battery cover has been expanding and coming loose. I'm guessing that the battery needs to be replaced. But at the moment I don't have the funds to purchase a new one. Can I still run the laptop with the AC power connected and the battery out of the computer? Or will this hurt the laptop?

It's perfectly safe for your hardware to run without the battery. You should be aware however that should there be even the briefest interruption of power, you will lose anything you might be working on if you have not saved it.
Your MacBook will also run at nearly half its normal speed if you use it with the battery removed:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2332
Regardless of the two issues raised above, you should not continue to use your machine with that battery installed. It is possible for the expanding battery to create enough upwards pressure to damage the logic board or to cause trackpad/keyboard problems.

Macbook pro retina display getting too hot

Hello,
I bought a macbook pro retina display:
2.7 quad core/16GB RAM/1GB Nvidia 650m/768 SSD
When I copy files like 20 or 30 GB from an external to my retina the keyboard becomes hot and GPU 141 F (61C).
For playing game it becomes more hot!!!
I don't know why new macbook pro would be like this.. before I had macbookpro 13" 2011 it wouldn't be like this!
Any one got any idea what's causing this? it's not just me I searched in google almost all got same issue!
I hope it would be from OS and Mountain Lion would fix it.

Bfore you run to the store try this SMC ret, it fixes

Macbook Pro running slow and getting hot very quick

So I own a macbook pro, and i bought it last november. Lately its been running really slow, and it gets hot really quickly.
when i go to look at my storage, it says i have 435.14 GB free out of 499.25 GB so i dont think space is an issue.
What can i do to fix this? I can't get on my macbook for longer than 10 minutues without it getting hot, and it takes me forever to load pages, etc.
It's still fairly new so i dont see why i would be having problems already. I only really use it for school and some misc web surfing. can someone help me out please!

Satellite Pro P100 PSPAEA - Irritating Fan Noise

Hi,
I have a Satellite Pro P100 PSPAEA and it honestly must be the most irritating laptop I have ever owned.
The problem is the cooling fan that has a tendancy to spin up to maximum regularly, sit there for a couple of seconds then spin down.
Rather than just increasing in speed to cool it kinda roars for a second or two then reduces speed. It can do this like every 15 seconds or so and is driving me nuts especially in a quiet room. I am running Windows Vista and the latest V4.4 BIOS. I am ready to kick this thing out the door and never buy Toshiba again.
But before I do this does anyone know of a solution?
Thanks

Updating the driver does seem to have fixed the probem.
Thank you very much!
Now if only I could get VT working the laptops stay of execution could last significantly longer!
I do recommend installing a 7200rpm drive for this particular model. The one Toshiba ships with it is appallingly slow (what were they thinking).

HT3964 IMac, Mountain Lion- overheating and putting itself to sleep when it gets too hot.

I've tried re-setting the SMC on my intel core i5-2.66 GHz Imac 27" to stop the fan from running all the time. It started when I first upgraded to snow lepeard. I thought maybe Moutnain Lion would help this issue, but now it's overheating and putting itself to sleep when it gets too hot. Any suggestions? This happens after about two hours of working. Using Adobe Suite only and still overheats.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
First off, there is nothing wrong with the fans running all of the time, they are the Macs cooling system and they would not run under normal conditions if the Mac didn't need them to run. So unless they are racing and your Mac sounds like a jet ready for take off, the fans are just doing their job.
That said, I think Apple's idea of how mcuh and how fast they should run does not always match the iMac's real needs. I, like many others, use SMC Fan Control and I set the speed at which my Mac's fans run.

Macbook Pro 15 i7 2011 - Overheating and Poor Flash Performance

Anyone out there having similar dissapointing performance from their 'premium' Macbook Pro 15 i7 2011?
Flash - stuttering on flash sites such as you tube, a little bit better with latest update but centrino windows laptop plays better video
Overheating - too hot to have on your lap, fan kicks in while surfing the web and watching movies, absolutely cr@ps itself when playing games using facebook
This is my first mac, and must say for top dollar machine isn't been an underwhelming experience and a bit worried about starting a fire when doing serious work.
Any advice for both issue would be great before I start requesting a refund for what seems to be a bit of lemon and frustrating experience

ok flash does that i mean when you load a flash based video the fan kicks off and the MBP overheats
you can try PRAM reset (hold down Command-Option-P-R during restart, and wait for the machine to restart again) and also SMC reset http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
and check if you have the latest update for your flash player

Toshiba drivers for WXP and VISTA fpr a Satellite Pro P100 - PSPAH

Hello.
I need help. I bought a Satellite pro P100 - PSPAH with Vista Premium Home edition as recovery version. Now I want to install a second OS like WXP on this notebook. The problem is that WXP didn't found 3 drivers. For Sound, LAN and a other device. Because of this I update my notebook with the latest chipset drivers, but the problem is still there. Vista has now problems with the drivers, too. I cannot find the special driver on the main page from toshiba.
mfg jens

Hi
I understand your problem At this time I prefer also the XP instead of the Vista OS.
The Vista needs simply too many notebook resources and all the applications and 3rd devices are not 100% supported by Vista.
But what to say dude seems you have to search for compatible drivers on chip manufacture sites.
Download and install a tool hardware diagnostic tool called Everest or similar one and try to find out what LAN and sound chips are used in your notebook!
Then you could search for the drivers on Intel, Realtek, etc.. pages
Do you know the Toshiba Canada driver site???
http://209.167.114.38/support/Download/ln_byModel.asp
There you will also find some Pro P100 series. Try these drivers. It's worth a try.

Macbook pro retina display 15" charger getting too hot... any advice?

I have had my Macbook pro retina 15" since Jan 2014 and it has been working fine. Just recently, I have noticed that the charger block and the connector to the laptop gets extremely hot as does the actual laptop. I have looked around on the net and most of the discussions regarding this have been on earlier models. The charger block itself is so hot that it emanates heat and is too hot to touch! The plug into the laptop is pretty darn hot as well. When charging, I can't keep the macbook on my lap because it gets too hot.
I have checked all the connectors and the connections of all bits involved and they all seem good. I have also tried to minimalise all programs that are running.
Just wondering if someone can suggest anything, otherwise it looks like a trip to the store
Many thanks in advance

Is it normal that my macbook pro cpu runs too hot?

I downloaded the smcfan control since my laptop was running too hot and I only bought it 3 days ago.
It says that my temperature goes up to 90c sometimes and it is too hot to even touch!!
I am a bit worried, I adjusted the fan settigs to higher rpm and it seems to help a lot, but why is it so the fans are not automatically adjusting when the temperature is so high? Is there something wrong with my laptop - I could still get it replaced with a new one since I just bought it..
My specs are:
MacBook pro 15" 2011
i7 proccessor
4GB or ram
Thanks in advance!

194º F / 90c is the typical temperature if your doing a lot of heavy CPU load.
Check your Activity Monitor in your Utilities for any runaway processes.
If you first boot your machine and it gets these sort of tempertures with nothing else running, you very well indeed have a problem.
The average temperture using smcFanControl with default Apple fan speeds should be about 120º F cold boot, at idle/light load (just a simple browser window no video) CPU in a 78º F enviroment.
Iv'e bumped my minimum fan speed to 4000 RPM, and thus my smc reported temperture is about 100ºF for those same conditions.
If you way above these typical conditions (others report about the same) then yes I would uninstall smcFanControl and then take the machine in for a evaluation, you could have a dead fan or sensor, etc.

Mac Book Pro 17" 85W Power Adapter too Hot to handle while charging/using

Hello All,
I bought a Mac Book Pro 17". What's up with my Power Adapter when I am using the computer at the same time charging it. The Power Adapter gets so hot that it is too hot to handle...very very hot! Is this normal ?
Any advise is most welcome on the matter.
Mac Book Pro 17" Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Simple answer, no its not normal
The adapter should get warm, but not hot
The first thing i'd do is try it in a different power socket
If it still heats up like you say regardless of where you plug it in, then its a fault in the adapter
return it to apple or an apple reseller and get another one
i wouldn't use it any more as it could be dangerous to your computer and become a fire hazzard

When is it too hot for your mac pro?

I recently switched graphics cards from the x1900 ATI to their new HD 3870 because of heating issues. While the new card is not having problems my Mac did freeze when the internal temp from my SMC control read 97 degrees. At what point is hot too hot and is there some way to cool the temp besides increasing fan speed (which didnt seem to do the trick anyway)?

At that temperature for a sustained period of time over time will lead to your thermal paste on the CPU to fail. Actually, alot of the thermal paste sitting on the board will fail eventually but at high temps for sustained periods of time can't be great. And if you've ever seen iFixit's breakdown of the macbook pro, there are gobs and gobs of thermal paste all over the dang thing.... I say use away and make sure you get apple care !! hehe because if any of the problems you get are related to hardware it can always be fixed.... or swapped
But 100 C is not that hot for a CPU or GPU... in fact it's borderline warm. Most CPUs I have run up 140-165 and operate around that temperature... I think your safe for the most part. Just backup your stuff onto an external occasionaly, and if worse comes to worse make sure you have apple care and bring her on in.... I'm curious to hear what other's say about the operating temperatures. If you look in your manual Apple says normal operating temp is like 50 - 65 or something and they say 105 C should be your max....
