Satellite P20-932 shuts down because temperature is too high

When I use my Satellite P20-932 for about 30 min, the temperature increases very quick! The laptop is turning-off automatic, without any error message.
I try to clean ventilator on the bottom of the laptop.
I'm really desperate.
Please help me!

Its a simply case of overheating.
The notebook shuts down automatically to prevent the notebook from the damage. It seems the temperature has increased to the critical level.
I assume the notebook is a little bit older and the cooling modules and the fans inside the notebook cannot run properly because of the dust and debris.
The cleaning of the cooling modules is a great idea but you should be careful.
If you have no experience, asks a technician for the professional cleanup.
Additional you should be sure that there is enough free space around the notebook. Its important for the properly air circulation.

  • Satellite P775 shuts down when temperature is too high

    hello,
    I have a toshiba laptop Satellite P775 more than 3 years.
    I paid a lot of money for this laptop.
    So each time it get too hot laptop that falls immediately.
    So yesterday I had my laptop completely disassembled, what a job. but realized that all my fan was clogged with dust. *So problem solved.*
    I think this is dangerous because of fire or am I wrong?
    There was a dust layer of 5 cm by 1 cm.
    Is this normal for this laptop?
    Do not think so because it was really an effort to get there.
    Sorry for my bad english, a happy 2014.
    thnx, greating .

    Thank you so much for this photo. I really hope that many forum users will see it and realize how much dust can be found inside of notebook.
    On this forum a lot of people have problems with overheating and notebook switch offs.
    Last year I have disassembled my machine too and was surprised how many dust I found inside.
    The dust is not dangerous because of fire but it can be dangerous for notebook hardware. Due to critical hardware temperature hardware can be damaged.
    Im pretty sure your notebook will run perfectly and much quieter than before.
    Bye and good luck.

  • Satellite P20-S203 shuts down suddenly

    Hi,
    In the last month my Satellite P20-S203 is not behaving so well, and unfortunately it seems the problem is a hardware one (but I'm not sure, and that's why Im writing here)
    The computer just shuts down suddenly (it happened 2 or 3 times in the last 30 days); all the times it did happen I was on the web on Firefox, but I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with that, and I'm also 99% sure it's not a virus, malware or anything like that, cause I formatted about 3 months ago, and nothing else behave in a strange way, the computer is not slow or anything like that.
    The last two options are that the issue may be of hardware nature, or of a software one (like a conflict between installed programs and the OS); I'm more for the first one, but I'm not sure and I need help to find out... What should I do?
    Also, when it suddenly shuts down, it won't turn on with the first try.
    It needs like 10 or 20 times to open, like an old car that doesn't start; the first, say, 5 times I try to turn it on, it will only display the toshiba logo.
    Then it passes through a screen I cannot read because it's too fast.
    Then to a black screen and finally it turns off again.
    With the next tries it goes a little bit more far, like it displays the windows logo, but, as that picture fades in, it stops at half of the fading process, resulting in a darker windows logo, like it's too hard for it to load the OS!!
    But then it goes off again!
    Then after some other tries it finally loads windows.
    Any help would be highly appreciated, thank you!
    OS: Windows XP SP2

    No it's ok Jayjay, I purchased this morning the right screwdriver (here in Greece these type of screws are called "French" or most internationally "torx" screws).
    So I took away the cover above the fans, unscrewed the heat sink, removed the heat sink and together with that the cpu came up. I've now removed the old thermal grease and I'm ready to put the new one.
    I like to mess around with things, I like to assemble and disassemble, I like to know how things work...but I also know, thanks to my personal experience, that there's no way not to make any damage when you mess around :) but that's ok with me, I' m used to it, as soon the pc will open once finished :D
    Anyway, I have to admit that if I worked with a little more method now everything would be ok, like making a map of the screws, knowing where to put them back, because now two screws on the back won't mount any more (precisely the F6 screws on the back panel, where the usb, vga and parallel connectors are), and two more screws are in excess (!) If someone has the time to do it, please unscrew just these two screws (the F6 on the back) and post a photo of the screws, or just tell me the height, even if I'm sure that the problem is elsewhere.
    Goodbye

  • Satellite Pro U200 shuts down after 5 mins then starts after a while

    Satellite Pro U200 shuts down after 5 mins then starts after a while. When it shuts down the
    blue screen says - stop: (0x0000008e,0xaa846f58,0xa9f29808,0x00000000)
    sysaudio.sys - adress aa846f58 base at aa843000, datestamp 41107f1a

    Hi
    Believe me; its not easy to say exactly why the BSOD appears.
    Generally it happens because of the serious software malfunction or hardware fault.
    Did you use the OS from the Toshiba image?
    There message says something about sysaudio.sys.
    This file is a system audio WDM filter process and its a part of Windows OS. It controls the hardware like printer or graphic card on a lower level.
    Note: The virus uses such files as a camouflage. You should use always a anti virus application.
    Furthermore you have suggested that the notebook shuts down after 5 min.
    Well, this sounds like a overheating issue. How did you use the notebook? You should know that the free space around the notebook is very important because of the air circulation. The ventilators should be also free.
    I you use the notebook in the right position and this will happen again so I would recommend asking the Toshiba service partner for the help. They should check the notebook.

  • Satellite A210-1C0 - Shuts down automatically

    Hi, Satellite A210-1C0 shuts down on its own.
    It has done it after being on for a short time or after 2 days,
    sometimes it shuts down and sometimes not.

    > At all: I won't by me another Toshiba again. A company who is using these bad/cheap optical drives? No way. To use these poor/cheap stuff and act like: no firmware/support, ask the manufacturer and the manufacturer say, of course, ask Toshiba... is this a way to threat customers?!?
    That's your personal opinion but I don't agree with you... I've got my second Toshiba notebook and never had any problems...
    But try other notebooks from different manufacturers and you will see that you will not be free of any hardware problems...
    I know what I'm talking about... I used and tested notebooks from different manufacturers and had to fight always with some issues...
    *@gommie48*
    Finally some words regarding your issue:
    Should clean the ventilators using an compressed air spray and should remove some dust and debris usually this helps to decreases the internal temperature.
    Furthermore you should ensure that the ventilators are free!

  • Your computer has shut down because of a problem

    Hi there,
    I have a Macbook Air which is about 3 months old now, and in the last couple of months, applications have started hanging, the keyboard is sluggish in Safari, and more specifically, I've had loads of times when I've opened the lid after the machine has been on sleep, and received the message "Your computer has shut down because of a problem".
    I've been on to Apple support, and they took me through how to repair disk permissions, reset the System Management Controller, and clear the caches. But I just had the same thing this morning.

    Thanks

    Hi Luksharp
    Is it happening only for Iphones or is it for all types of phones as well ?
    What version of Exchange server you are running ?
    Are you experiencing this issue after any recent upgrade or changes in CAS server ?
    Just check the sync state policy refer below article
    http://blog.chrislehr.com/2012/02/difference-in-policy-versions.html
    Looks like Sync State Policy is loaded for user's mailbox from latest version of CAS server and it was contacted the lower version of CAS for mailbox access.
    Just ensure all of your CAS servers are up to date with all mailbox and hub in correct versions.

  • The Cluster service is shutting down because quorum was lost

    Hi, we recently experienced the above issue and after looking for explanations I haven't been able to find any satisfying answers when other people have posted this issue.
    Our problem is as follows:
    2 node 2008R2 cluster running SQL 2012
    Each node is a HP BL460c running in a HP C7000 Blade Chassis.
    We were updating the flexfabric cards on one of the chassis.  The other chassis had been patched the previous week with no problems. 
    During the update process the flexfabric cards, which hold the Ethernet and FC connections, reboot so before work had begun all active cluster services had been failed over to the node in the chassis not being worked on.  However despite this the cluster
    service shut down on this one particular cluster.  All other clusters running across these 2 chassis continued to run as expected.
    As other people have posted before we saw the following errors in the system log.
    1564: File share witness resource 'File Share Witness' failed to arbitrate for the file share
    1069: Cluster resource 'File Share Witness' in clustered service or application 'Cluster Group' failed.
    1172: The Cluster service is shutting down because quorum was lost. This could be due to the loss of network connectivity between some or all nodes in the cluster, or a failover of the witness disk.
    Run the Validate a Configuration wizard to check your network configuration. If the condition persists, check for hardware or software errors related to the network adapter. Also check for failures in any other network components to which the node is connected
    such as hubs, switches, or bridges.
    However we cant understand what could cause this to happen when the service is running on the node in the chassis not being updated, especially when the same update was performed the week before with no issues.  How can both nodes lose connectivity
    to the File Share Witness at the same time?
    Cluster Validation tests run fine and don't highlight any issues.  The file share witness is accessible from both servers.

    Hi,
    Please confirm you have install the Recommended hotfixes and updates for Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Failover Clusters update, especially the following hotfix.
    The network location profile changes from "Domain" to "Public" in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2524478/EN-US

  • Toshiba Satellite A300-20T shuts down after 5 seconds!!

    my laptop satellite A300-20T shuts down after 5 seconds of booting , i dont know why ?? and i searched for support in the website and didn't find it in the model list, also i don't know why ???!!
    i want to know why it shuts down , and how can i communicate with support

    Yours would not appear to be a US model. We need the Part Number for your laptop, like PSAG8U-05K02C. You can find this on the Toshiba label on the bottom of your laptop. As well, what country was it originally purchased in. In addition, what is your operating system version, like Windows Vista 32bit?

    You can try recovery mode to see if you can revive the iPad.

    Have you left the iPad charging for a couple of hours or so to be sure?

  • SQL 2008 R2: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio cannot shut down because a modal dialog is active. Close the active dialog and try again

    When starting SQL Server 2008 R2 it hangs , and I cannot exit...so when  trying to logoff to reset I get the following "Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio cannot shut down because a modal dialog is active. Close the active dialog and try again"Any
    ideas?

    Big edit...
    I have 2008 R2 SP2 installed on my Windows 7 Machine which is also fully updated.  The marked answer above is clearly not the solution.
    The fix I had posted before did not work.  It appeared to work temporarily, but now I am back to the same invisible dialogue.  I have not been able to identify any pattern by which this is triggered.  I can have an entire day without this
    issue and then it appears the next.
    The invisible modal dialogue is definitely the connection dialogue.  The only way out is to hit the escape key to close it, but then I am no better off without an ability to connect to a server.  The dialogue is still invisible when I re-open it.
    However, even as I type this post, I have just gotten the dialogue to appear after restarting Management Studio, hitting escape, then clicking connect again.  That same pattern failed just minutes ago numerous times.  Again, I can't find any pattern.
    See you in the clock tower.

  • Macbook Pro shut down because the battery power ran out. Now I cannot start it and the battery will not charge. Only one green battery charge light lights up and blinks.

    My Macbook Pro shut down because the battery power ran out. Now I cannot start it and the battery will not charge. Only one green battery charge light lights up and blinks on the left side. I am running Lion. How do I get this to charge and turn on? Thanks

    If your model Macbook Pro is the calibrating model, let the battery calibrate. 
    If not, and are still under warrant or have Apple Care, give them a call and get a case number.  Otherwise, take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you. 

  • Shut down because of an error

    How to fix the error "shut down because of an error"

    Perform an SMC reset.
    Read all the steps. If the MacBook Air never gets beyond the login screen before it spontaneously shuts down you won't be able to perform the "Before Resetting the SMC" steps, so just skip to the next section.
    Before Resetting the SMC
    Try each of the following steps in this order before you reset the SMC. Test the issue after completing each troubleshooting step to determine if the issue still occurs.
    Press Command + Option + Escape to force quit any application that is not responding.
    Put your Mac to sleep by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Sleep. Wake the computer after it has gone to sleep.
    Restart your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Restart.
    Shut down your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Shut Down.
    Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if it's not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    Determine if the Mac starts and allows you to log in.
