Satellite P300D-10V is overheating

Hi everyone
I am using Toshiba p300 d-10v laptop till one year. After one month I've bought this notebook, I had some problems with it. For those problems I'vee sent my laptop to the service twice in three months.
First problem was it is overheating and closes the system. Second problem was about the ATI Graphic card. For those two problems the service person told that they did not see any problem and they sent it back. I am not going to sent it to this service in Turkey again.
I want some suggestions to find a solution for me.
As I heard from internet about this problem there are many users in Turkey having the same problem at that model of notebook. I can only use %70 percent of processor so if it goes up than it shuts the system, why I should use less than %70 percent of the capacity. If I knew this I would buy another model notebook. There was no any information about this model of notebook when I bought this model.
Cheers

Hi mate
I dont understand how you can use only 70% of the CPU performance.
Usually the CPU supports the AMD PowerNow Technology which allows you to use the CPU in Automatic mode.
In Automatic mode, the speed and voltage are controlled dynamically and automatically. It depends on the application how fast the CPU would run.
In Automatic mode, the needs of the application environment dictate the amount of performance required and power used.
This mode of operation ensures that only the required amount of power is dissipated.
Simply said if the application doesnt need the full CPU performance then the CPU will not run always with 100% and will not create high heat dissipation.
But the notebook could overheat if you would use non-Toshiba graphic drivers.
The drivers which are not certified by Toshiba dont support the overheating protection and the usage of such drivers could lead to a overheating. Therefore you should use always the Toshiba drivers because such drivers are designed especially for the notebooks graphic cards. Drivers from ATI page are created only for desktop PCs.
Finally its strongly recommended to use the notebook on the table and to ensure that there is enough free space around the notebook to ensure a good air circulation.
Especially in countries or regions (i.e Turkey, Africa ) where the temperature is higher its really important that the notebook would be cooled properly.

Satellite P300D-10v - Question about warranty

HI EVERYBODY
I have these overheating problems with my laptop Satellite P300D-10v.
I did everything I could do to fix it without any success..
I get the latest update of the bios from Toshiba. I cleaned my lap with compressed air first and then disassembled it all and cleaned it better.(it was really clean insight though...)
BUT unfortunately the problem still exists...
So i made a research on the internet and I found out that most of Toshiba owners have the same exactly problem with their laptop.
Well i guess this is a Toshiba bug for many years now.
Its a really nice lap, cool sound (the best in laptop ever) BUT......
So I wanted to make a question. As i am still under warranty, can i return this laptop and get my money back or change it with a different one????
If any body knows PLS let me know.
chears
Thanks in advance

Hi
I have already found you other threads.
Regarding the warranty question;
If there is something wrong with the hardware then the ASP in your country should be able to help you.
The warranty should cover every reparation or replacement.
But I read that you have disasembled the laptop at your own hand... hmmm if you have disasembled the notebook then your warrany is not valid anymore :(
I think this should be clear for you that you can lose the warrany if you disasemble the laptop!
By the way: you have to speak with the notebook dealer where you have purchased this notebook if you want to return the notebook
The Toshiba ASP can repair and fix the notebook but you will not get money from ASP.

Satellite P300D-10V - Turn off by high temperature

Hi!
I have a TOSHIBA Satellite P300D-10V and I have a problem with overheating! When I load my CPU with 2,2 GHz for a long time, it turn off by high temperature!
What must be my solution about this problem?
"Normal" temperature for my laptop is around 70 - 75 degrees cslsius! Is it normal for this CPU?
I have used another laptop with Intel CPU and there is no such problem! My Toshiba is in use for 2 years! OS Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit
REGARDS!

Hi alexander79,
First of all you should know that cleaning the fan is not covered by warranty!!! Of course you can do this from an authorized service provider but for this service you have to pay, its not free!
More detailed instructions you can find in this how to article from Toshiba:
[How to clean the cooling system of a Toshiba notebook? |http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=40]
As you can read, the notebook should be cleaned every 3-4 months and believe me, you will be very surprised how much dust come out ;)
Last but not least its also important that you only use display drivers from Toshiba.
I had also a problem with overheating and this was caused due a wrong display driver (I used the drivers from nVidia page). They are not pretested and dont have an overheat protection The result was overheating and turning off.
After installation of Toshiba display driver the problem was solved.

Satellite P300D-10V shut down when playing game

Hello everyone
I bought a Sat P300d-10v last month. At first it was very good but it was always very hot.
I thougt that the cause is the weather but it wasn't.
When I try to play a game (cod4-prostreet- even easy dos games) my device always shuts down in first ten minutes! and it was always doing that at any game any resolation!
And another problem too; if I turn on the music up to %50 device was making a "diiizzzz" sound from the all keypad and connection points of the plastic pieces.
First i couldnt thought them as big problems but when i search on line in Turkey i found lots of people who are having same problems on their P300D-10V
and some of them gave their pc's to technical service and take their moneys back so I gave mine too.
But of course i am having problems to tell my problems to technical service right now.
Is there anyone who are having these same problems with this pc or any knowledges about the problems?
Erman Manas
Bursa/TURKEY

i gave my pc to authorized service center ,in my local area but they say that they couldnt find any problem in the pc while playing any game or in the sound system, maybe they have cleaned the dust you've mention about.
so today i am gonna go to the service center and we will look the device together.
room tempture was about 30 degrees i accept it was hot but it shouldnt shut down at all...
and the sound system is not related with the tempture.
so i will mention about the test i am gonna do to day in the technical service.
but i wonder is there anyone who are having the same problem with me ?????

Satellite P300D-13N and XP Installation Issues (Sata-Driver)

Hi,
I have some issues with my XP-Downgrade.
I already tried integrating the Intel Storage Manager drivers into my XP-CD but unfortunately it didn't work.
Probably because i've been integrating ALL drivers, that were available and not just the one that should work for my chipset.
Anyway, in one of the threads in this forum there is a link to [THIS How To|http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB85017Z0000R01.htm] and I think I found my problem...
[Here|http://s5.directupload.net/images/080904/2eptrpzs.jpg] is a screenshot of my device manager (sorry for it being in german) of the pre-installed Vista.
As you can see, there is no information about the controller-Version.
So my question is, WHAT chipset is built into my laptop, because due to the fact that the Intel drivers do not work AND there is no information about any Intel Drive-Controller, I have no idea, which drivers i have to integrate into the XP-CD to get my XP-Installation to work. :(
Help :(
Thank you
Laptop: Satellite P300D-13N PSPDCE

Of course... I didn't want to bore you with the details... but I can do that ;)
I couldn't find any Chipset drivers on amd.com OR the toshiba website so I googled for the chipset and found [This Driver|http://eu.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Products/ProductsDetail.aspx?detailid=883&CategoryID=1&Deta ilName=Driver&MenuID=123&LanID=4] on the ECS-Elitegroup website.
I don't know why AMD doesn't upload this driver on their website, because I don't think I am the only one, who needed this SATA-Driver... ;)
Anyway, with the chipset-driver on my HDD, I created an XP-BootCD. I didn't know which driver (there are 3 or so in the package you can download on the ECS-Website), so I put *all* of them in the CD, which worked just fine. I think the *ahcix86.inf* in *\1_chipset_XP3264\XP3264\RAID7xx\x86\ i* is the important file for WinXP to load, but I'm not sure...
PS: The original catalyst drivers from ati.com do NOT work but the ones you can find [here|http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU] work fine ;) Just telling you so you don't try 3 different versions from ati.com before you try the toshiba-drivers... like i did :D

Satellite P300D-110 integrated webcam is not functioning properly.

Hello everyone,
as the title says, the integrated webcam of my Toshiba Satellite P300D-110 is not functioning properly. Allow me to explain. Using the Camera Assistance Software I can take photo's and record music. If I try to record a video the preview screen turns up black and the end result tuns out black aswell, completely black.
Whenever I try to use my camera with applications such as MSN Live Messenger, Skype or at community websites using Firefox, Internet Explorer or Safari the application in question crashes.
*How did this happen?*
You tell me. This is how it went;
* Day 1: I've started up my laptop and looked at my fresh and clean install of windows vista home premium. I tried out my webcam using the webcam assistance software and it worked like a charm.
* Day 2: Once again I boot up my laptop and try to start my webcam only to find out that it no longer functions.
To give a quick summary of the thread;
* Using Camera Assistance Software provided by Toshiba I can take pictures.
* Using Camera Assistance Software provided by Toshiba I can record sound.
* Using Camera Assistance Software provided by Toshiba I can _*NOT*_ record or preview a video.
* I can not start my camera using any other application such as but not limited to; MSN Live Messenger, Skype, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safar.
* I have downloaded and isntalled the latest drivers from the Toshiba website.
* My laptop is about a week old.
I'm not sure what more I can do, all I want is for the webcam to work, if anyone can help me out please do so.
And if possible WITHOUT having to reinstall Windows Vista Home Premium.
I haven't even used it and wouldn't want to make that a solution for all the problems that might occur in the future.
Sincerely,
a sad customer.

Using Camera Assistance Software provided by Toshiba I can NOT record or preview a video.
Can you please describe the steps how you try to do this? I must ask you this because it runs well on my notebook. When the recording is finished player opens and you can see recorded movie. It is avi format and at the top of this player you can see the path where the movie is saved.
Most strange thing for me is that you cannot use it with Skype. Ok for MSN is not the perfect but there is absolutely no problem with Skype. Check the settings and it must work somehow.

My computer is Toshiba Satellite P300D, and I want to connect my TV via HDMI, because there are 2 HDMI input port.
So what kinds of cable do I have to buy to connect HDMI? Do I have to download some software? How about the audio?
Cheers

Visit electronic store and buy high quality HDMI cable. Talk with your local dealer and pick up info which one they have.
To connect your laptop to the TV is simply.
Connect both devices with the HDMI cable, choose HDMI channel on TV and use FN+F5 to switch to TV.
Everything should be OK.
Please let us know if there is some problem.

Satellite P300D - No picture through S-Video output

Hi!
I can't get picture through my S-video output on TV. VGA and HDMI works ok, but my TV is older and I don't have that kind of inputs on TV.
The laptop recognizes TV over the cable, but I can't switch between primary and secondary display.
(satellite P300D-12L)

Hi
Listen dude;
First of all you have to choose s-video channel on your TV.
Check the TV settings!
Before you would start any video application, you have to choose TV output pressing FN + F5
If video playback software like WinDVD is already running, then you would not be abele toggle between TV and notebook display so firstly switch to TV and then start the software.

Very slow working Satellite L30-10V

I've had my toshiba just under two years now and for pretty much as long as I remember its been very slow. Last week it died completly and kept telling me there was a harddisk error preventing windows from opening. I did the product recovery on toshibas advice and got my computer working again but its still as slow as ever, if not more! Theres nothing on here to even make it slow.
I've changed the power setting to a more efficient one, done a disk clean up and defragmented it but nothings changed. I have over 45GB free out of 59GB so I'm not sure that updating the memory would help?
I need advice please, HELP!

Sure sounds like the symptoms when a hard drive is dying.
The slowdown occurs because reads and writes to the drive must often be made multiple times before they are successful.
What does chkdsk have to say?
Check your hard disk for errors

Why doesn't my Satellite P300D-12Y exist?

The Name of my product is: Satellite P300D-12Y but at the support homepage there isn't any product with this name.
I tried to enter the serial number but there's only the message "Pleas enter a valid serielnumber"
And if I use Auto-detect, the program can't find my product.
It's frustrating because I dont know how to update my pc now.
I hope somebody can help me.

Hi
Did you take a look at the notebooks bottom side?
Do this and you will find some labels with some numbers.
You will find a notebook model number something like:
Satellite P300D-12Y PSPDCE-00P005GR
I think you have noticed that Toshiba European driver page does not list any notebook using the model numbers but notebook series number; PSPDCE for example
So you have to search for Satellite P300D PSPDCE
Its simple isnt it?

Hello
Since when do you notice this behavior?
Have you installed newest BIOS version?
About this behavior I found a similar thread:
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums//thread.jspa?messageID=231754
So I can say its normal behavior that is switches on when you touch the mute button.

Satellite P300D crashes while playing games

Hey all,
I have the following issue with my P300D. I installed Win 7 32Bit a week ago and everything worked fine so far.
But now everytime I play a game it crashes after 40 mintues or an hour.
I have to mention that these games worked fine on Vista before.
Well the thing ist, that I have no bluescreen or something, it just goes off. Then I cant start the laptop for a minute or two.
For me it seems like it's preventing not to overheat. But I have no idea what this could be. Is it possible that Win 7 is the issue (got latest graphic drivers, also update BIOS) or is it maybe CPU or ATI Cart goes too hot? Its only crashes while playing, I can work on the PC with other software for hours and nothing happens.
Im really out of ideas so I'll be greatful for every help.

Hey Prevision,
Sounds like that your notebook is overheating. If the notebook would overheat it often goes out without any reason (bluescreen for example). This is my experience
So I would recommend cleaning the notebook with compressed air spray. It could blow out the dust from the cooling ventilators and this should be done from to time. Compressed air spray isnt expensive, it costs only few Euros and you can get it from every computer shop.
Check this!!!
Furthermore it would be interesting to know what display driver you have installed. Non Toshiba display drivers are often cause problems because they dont have an overheat protection so check the Toshiba page for a new display driver.

Satellite L650-13C (PSK1EE) overheating

Hello all,
I am new owner of Toshiba L650-13C (PSK1EE) (i3 330M, Intel HD graphics, 4GB RAM, Intel HM55 Chipset) and I have got problem with overheating. I dont know, is it really normal, but my notebook (measured by Everest) has core temp 55 - 58 C and temperature of PCH 70-76 C and is very hot (also on desk) - in office work (internet, Office).
Here is screen - http://a.imageshack.us/img101/2226/tempoh.jpg .
Notebook is also a little bit noisy, every 2-4 minuts starts fan with 50% RPM (in eco or saving mode).
Could you help me, it is standart property of this notebook or something is wrong?
Thank you for help.

Hi
CPU temperature seems to be around 50C degrees. This is not too high.
I dont know what PCH means but 75C is also not too high. Its higher than other values but its still ok.
Maybe PCH means GPU and its a graphic card chip?
Are you using the Toshiba graphic card driver?
You should do this because only Toshiba graphic driver supports an overheating protection
Furthermore I recommend checking the Win 7 power saving options.
Take a look here:
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=41
its about Vista but the Win7 options are very similar.

Re: Satellite P300D-10U: installing Toshiba Power Sawer on Win XP SP2

Please help with installing the Toshiba Power Sawer on Windows XP SP2
I have a laptop Toshiba Sattelite P300D.
Installed all Windows XP driver from the site including the Toshiba driver for AMD processors.
Then install the Toshiba Power Sawer and not what happens, only the CPU load by 50% approximately.
In what may be the reason that it is necessary to install Toshiba Power Sawer?

Hello
Is Power Saver installed now or not? Im a little bit confused
Normally in Power Saver properties you can change the CPU processing speed. If you use the high performance profile, you can use the highest CPU speed. Furthermore this can be changed manual for every profile.
For using Toshiba Power Saver, make sure the Power Saver profile is set as Windows Power scheme

Wlan connection interrupts 1-2 min - Satellite P300D-21K

Hi,
I have a satelite laptop. P300D-21K.
My wireless connection seems to get interupted every 1-2 mins. I can tell this becasue when I am streaming shows off BBC iplayer, or youtube, you can see that the buffering stops and the audio/video will then stop. I have to kick start it myslef by hitting pause then play to get it to going again.
I do not have this problem when I use my wired network, so I believe this is a problem with the wireless feature of my laptop.
Any advice?
Thanks,
Ross.

Hello Ross,
I have a P300D 15C laptop and I do recognize the random disconnection of the WLAN under Vista. It's very annoying.
After BIOS-update en Atheros-drivers the problem still exists.
Did you solve that problem?
If YES.. please will you post your solution here?
Thanks in advance.
