Satellite Pro P100 GPU Fan off or full speed after Bios-update to 4.20

Hello,
after installing the brandnew Bios-update 4.20 the GPU fan is when the notebook is cool off. While working with it the GPU temperature rises up to 100C (very very hot), then the fan begins to run on medium speed and the GPU cools down. After a restart, eg. next day, the fan always runs on medium or high speed (very noisy!!). With the the bios version before this problem didn't appear.
Has someone the same problem with his notebook?
Did anyone have the Bios-update before 4.20 and can send it to me???

Hi all,
I've got a similar problem. After updating the BIOS of my SP P100 (PSPAHE) to 4.2 on of the fans runs constantly. I was very astonished about the WinPhlash Software anyway: I just wanted to see what it looks like, and it started updating BIOS virus-like automatically without any message or confirmation etc.
With the first reboot I got a bluescreen immediately after Vista started booting. With the following reboot, the system started properly - everything seemed to be ok. Since then the system obviously can't control the fan anymore.
The bluescreen-error is reproduceable - it occurs after each trial. I already tried to update BIOS with a freshly installed Vista (Recovery DVD) bfore installing a single problem - same result.
I only see 2 possibilities to perhaps solve the problem: hopefully a re-downgrade to 4.0 can successfully be done. Second possibility would perhaps be to remove Vista and install XP instead hoping that the BIOS update doesn't hang up then.
Unfortunately, the previous BIOS version is not on the support pages. . If anyone gets hold of it pls. post here.

Re: Satellite C55-A-1JL - fan running at high speed after BIOS update

Hello,
I' ve upgraded BIOS from 1.20 to 1.40, and my computer started to restart automaticly after few minutes. the fan keeps running at high speed all the time
Anyone know why?

Question: does the notebook work properly besides the fast running fan?
Generally speaking after the BIOS upgrade you should always load the BIOS default settings.
In BIOS press F9 (load default) and then press F10 to save changes.
Try it out

E31 - Front FAN at full speed after bios update !!

Hello,
we have a Thinkstation E31 (2555-22G), and today after the Bios update with the Lenovo system update tool the front Fan (near the SATA connectors) is at full speed constantly. it is just impossible to stay in front of this computer because of the noise, i had to disconnect the fan.
I tried to flash to an older version available on the site but it doesn't change anything.
I tried to reset the BIOS to default, and also removed the battery from the motherboard.
I found in a faq but for another model to remove the power cable and press the start button during 10 seconds.
I didn't find something working, there is no fan control setting in the bios, or it is well hidden...
What can i do ??
Thanks for your help.

The beeps you're hearing are part of the CMOS clear process, so they are normal. Once you hear the beeps, you should be OK to shut it down again.
I'm not necessarily convinced a bad fan is the cause of the issue if you truly only experienced the higher fan speed after a BIOS update. But I also don't want to work on the same issue from two angles/paths at the same time....so I'm going to say let's wait and see what happens with the service route first and go from there.
If you happen to try it again or see the message again...I'm curious what error codes you're seeing after the system starts and you get the two POST beeps. A message about corrupted settings sounds like it could be important A picture might be helpful here if you can capture one.

TS1433 Fans run at full speed after computer turns on

Fans run at full speed after computer turns on, and a lot of times while i'm working they suddenly start blowing and won't stop. Tried the reset SMC, nothing happens. Also the unplug powercord-method does nothing.
Anyone?

Exactly what method did you use to reset the SMC, every Mac has different methods and I want to ensure you used the method for an Intel based Imac. The correct instructions are in the iMac SMC and PRAM reset link. Do the SMC reset at least 2X!

Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E freezes on Toshiba welcome screen after BIOS update

Hi.
Yesterday I did a BIOS update on my Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E-03Z00QGR with the appropriate flash:

bios-20070709111839.zip
After the flashing procedure the machine rebooted automatically, but unfortunately it now keeps hanging at the Thoshiba welcome screen. Also pressing F2 or F12 won't change anything. It seems like the BIOS is corrupt.
I saw, that in the BIOS package are delivered two flash files (s10gm590.rom and s10pm590.rom). But just executing the SanAntonion10 BIOS590MP.exe a .vbs script is started that decides automatically chooses and loads a flash file. Maybe it chose the wrong one?
What shall I do now? Is there a way to restore the BIOS, or do I have to send my notebook in?
Thanks in advance
MAT

> Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E freezes on Toshiba welcome screen after BIOS update
What to say Marc. It looks like you have used a wrong BIOS version or you have updated the BIOS in wrong way.
You could try to access the BIOS and try to set the settings to default.
Dont forget to save the settings if you will exit the BIOS.
But if this procedure does not help, you will have to contact the ASP in your country.
Possibly the guys will try to flash the BIOS again with other special version.
Good luck
Greetings

Fan running at full speed after shut down.

My brand new, three day old 8 core Mac Pro has already frozen three times. I have been reading about the screen garbage and then the freeze. That is happening with me, too. But what is going on right now as I type on my old G4 is that the fan on the new Mac Pro is running full speed and the computer has been shut down! The fan has been blowing like this for at least 30 minutes. I am hesitant to unplug. But I can't just leave the office with it blowing like that. What is going on?

Have a lot of USB stuff attached...
Apple keyboard/mouse, Kensington track ball, (then through hub) Logitech web-cam, External HD (USB) for time-machine, epson scanner, iPod USB cable, shuffle, dock, and...ah ha..may be a culprit...a Microsoft joystick for playing x-plane (when I was thinking about what I do when this happens, I said I'd switched resolutions to use xplane..but, of course, I would have had the joystick plugged in as well..this could be the one difference (I only connect the joystick when I'm going to use x-plane)).
I will experiment some tonight...shutting down with and without the joystick to see if that makes any difference.
Now that I think of it, that seems to be the one 'difference factor'...and it would be Karma to have the Microsoft hardware messing up my Mac.
I don't have any extra PCI...nothing in firewire.
Thanks for giving me a possible lead...I'll report back.

Satellite C850 - Low fan speed after BIOS update

Hello,
So I have my Satellite C850-PSKCEV bios updated around 6 months ago to version 6.80 (I bought my laptop in 2012), and since then the fan is running at low speeds and will never run full speed as before, and as a consequence the laptop overheats prematurely and very fast, and even when the laptop is not in use but left running it does overheat, also gaming is not even possible as any game that I run (even with the lowest settings) gets a fps drop every 5 seconds and lasts 5-10 seconds which renders even the lightest games unplayable, also I am afraid of the continuous overheat to damage the laptop's internal components.
I did clean the fan and vents from dust and there is not even one particle inside them and yet the fan won't run fast and I can't feel but very slight airflow from the vents as apposed to the strong one before this problem.

Hi
Have you tried to change cooling method settings and set it to maximum performance?

Cooling fans constantly run @ full speed after replacing the upper CPU??

After replacing the upper CPU on a Power Mac G5 (June 2004), Dual 1.8Ghz PowerPC, model M9454LL/A, all the cooling fans constantly run at full speed. All other operations are normal.
I've read, "...after replacing or switching CPU locations the Logic Board doesn't properly recognize the CPU's in their new location and a "Thermal Calibration" is needed". Could a "Thermal Calibration" possibly correct the constant full fan speed issue?
What software would be required?

Hi-
Could a "Thermal Calibration" possibly correct the constant full fan speed issue?
Yes.
What software would be required?
The Apple Service Diagnostic disc (ASD) of the proper version for your machine.
Call an authorized Apple service provider and arrange a calibration, as the disc is not readily available to individuals.

Satellite Pro P100-465: fans are noisy

Hello,
I have a P100-465 running XP Pro on it. I have had the laptop about 6mths now and the one thing I have noticed about this laptop is that it is SO noisy. When using the laptop the fans go on and off constantly....even if I am not doing anything resource hungry. is this normal? I understand that the machine is powerful but I can't believe this is normal.
I use to have a P25-S670 and the fans use to come on every now and then to keep the machine cool but this new laptop is INSANELY annoying. As I am typing this the fans go on and off every few seconds. It sounds like the fans RPM increases substantially but only for a second or two and then it drops down. In the BIOS I have even set the option to silent mode instead of performance mode but this hasn't made any difference. I am running all the latest drivers and firmware.
Can someone help please as this is driving me NUTS! ;-) Is there a way to control the fan speed/noise from within Windows? I remember on my P25 I could change the power options to silent mode and it made quite a big difference.

Hi mate,
did you already cleaned your cooling system? Maybe that could be the point since such small ventilation systems are susceptible to be clobbed with dust after a while of running.
A idea would be to give your machine to a technician and ask him to clean your machine and to put some new cooling grease on the CPU.
That should help and prevent your machine from overheating or excessive fan noise.
Cheers

Fans are not stopping working after BIOS update on Satellite A200

Hi,
Im using Satellite A200-1bp. I recently upgrade my BIOS 5.20-win and my fans are not stopping working all the time.
I think its reason is BIOS upgrade
How can i find lower bios?
Please help me..

Maybe this thread can help http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums//thread.jspa?messageID=128543
Be sure you use right BIOS for your notebook model.

Satellite L655-S5150 Poor connection to wireless on Battery after BIOS update.

Hi Folks, New to the Forum. Sorry if this was previously covered; however need help.
Brand new Satellite L655-S5150. Updated BIOS and Eco via Toshiba Bulletin board a few days ago and have experienced wireless connection cutting in and out. Noticed it only happens while on battery power. Tried changing driver power options with no luck(I did not restart after making this change) and then changed back to default. Is there a fix for this? Should I roll back BIOS? Should I return for another PC?
Any help is appreciated.
Alex
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I am not sure what is going on? I have the same laptop. I have flashed my BIOS twice. I am not sure what to say. I have never had any kind of problems with anything. I bought a Cissco ethernet router that handles all bands. I hooked the router up to comcast turned the laptop on and all was done. Get this, then I bought a LexMark 3 all in one printer. Set it up turned it on and started printing with no cables used, wireless. Deal is I have been working with computers for 20 years. The other deal, if I am not infront of the computer that is having problems it is hard for me to tell what is going on. I just don't get it. You should be able to plug it in and go for it. If you have questions I will do my best to answer them. Maybe if I can talk one through it it can be passed on.

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).

Satellite Pro P100 - Synaptics touchpad issue using Win 7

Satellite Pro P100 with Synaptics touch pad, was running Vista, now Win 7 64 bit.
The original driver had an option "disable when external pointing device connected".
I have installed a driver from Synaptics Synaptics_v14_0_3_C_XP64_Vista64_Win7-64_Signed_default.exe which does not have this check box.
It works fine except that sometimes the Microsoft Mouse turns off and on every few seconds as it or the touchpad fight each. I have to disable the touchpad.
Then next time I turn on. If I do so without a mouse, I cannot use the touchpad, until i plug in the mouse, reactivate, then unplug the mouse.
Thanks

Sorry, but this problem is reccurring more frequently (like every 2 or 3 days). The driver you recommend does not have the "disable touchpad when external mouse connected", nor does the Fn+F9 button work. Both touchpad and mouse are active at the same time with the result that the mouse becomes active, inactive, active, inactive every few seconds, and is that happens the secondary monitor goes blank (which is normal when new drivers are being installed, such as for an unrecognised flash drive). Thanks.

Satellite Pro P100: Marks on the palmrest

Hi
I've had my Satellite Pro P100 for barely 6 months now... I've bought it from new and its had a less than average amount of use. Its always been looked after, always kept clean, always take my watch off so it doesn't scratch the surface, etc. etc. But now I've noticed marks outlining where my palms are resting.
I'd expect this of a 2nd hand laptop which gets heavy usage but I wouldn't expect this of a new one!
http://www.nottingham.ac.uk./~cczcp1/pics/palm-rest.jpg
Anyone else had a the same problem and what's the chances of getting it sorted by Toshiba?
Cheers for any help.

the coating is very delicate and gets marked easily so when you rest your hands on the area eventually it will leave a mark it can happen within a week of getting a new laptop or years depends on how you rest them its normal and it would not damage the running of the laptop. Nothing no one can do about it, happens eventually.
