Satellite R830-182 - cooling fan runs permanently

Hi,
I have just purchased a R830-182. The fans runs 100% of the time, starting with the moment I boot up. Is this right, I expect the fan on a laptop to kick in when the CPU reaches a certain temperature? This is annoying as it is fairly noisy. Have also tried running the laptop at lowest possible power - no software open, WIFI off, battery saver power management, screen brightness turned down etc to no avail.
Anyone out there with the same model know if this is an issue or just how this laptop it is supposed to work?

I agree with as***: change the cooling mode in Win 7 power management

it seems that your notebook has not been equipped with an fingerprint. But check if the fingerprint software is installed. If its installed, then remove this from the system.
Furthermore I recommend changing some BIOS settings:
+Power Management:+
Dynamic CPU frequency mode (not sure about the available options but try different posibilites)

  • Satellite L850-1KG - cooling fan runs constantly

    Hello
    I have the problem that constantly runs in my Nootebook the fan. How can I open the case and clean it?
    I have a Satellite L850-1KG
    Thank you

    I don't know how old is your notebook and if dust can be reason for permanently running cooling fan but try please at first to check advanced power options. There you will find option for cooling method. Set it please to battery optimized. This should reduce cooling fan activity.
    I also hope you use notebook on the desk and cooling fan/cooling grill is free.
    By the way: do you use original Toshiba recovery image with original display driver?

  • On my Satellite P100-347 cooling fan runs all the time

    Hi,
    I think I might have a problem with fan on my Satellite P100-347. It seems to be continually working at all times and is a lot louder than when I purchased the computer. Initially it used to just switch off and on when required, I think this might now be wrong.
    Please help.

    Hi Beata
    I agree with Sanremo suggestions; its not known to me how old your notebook is but from time to time its necessary to clean the cooling fans. The dust and debris inside the notebook could prevent the cooling modules from properly working!
    The properly fresh air circulation is also very important. Be sure that there is enough free space around the notebook. Do not use the notebook on the knees or in the bed. In such case the notebook cannot be cooled in the right way and the high temperature can damage some parts like GPU on the board.
    But if you think there is an serious hardware problem you should contact the authorized service provider in your country.
    Good luck and greetings to Poland ;)

  • Satellite A200-19I is pretty loud - cooler is running permanently

    Hi,
    I have since a week a Toshiba Notebook, the Satellite A200-19i. The Notebook is very loud in my opinion. One cooler is running permanently and the other one running sometimes. Or is this noisy thing not a cooler?
    Please help me and sorry for my bad english. I am from Germany.
    Thanks,
    Arne

    Hello Arne
    In the world of mobile computing it is not easy to design absolutely quite notebook especially if the hardware components are faster and more powerful. Heat is common problem by mobile computing and most important thing is hardware protection. I know that notebooks are sometimes very loud, especially if the cooling fan is dirty.
    I have the same notebook series. It is Satellite A200-1CR. I use it for every day work and till now I am pretty satisfied. Vista runs well and using usual applications like Word, Excel, IE, Skype and WinDVD I didnt noticed loud running cooling fan. Maybe I should check it with CPU intensive applications.
    Dear Arne I do not know how much experiences you have with notebooks but in my opinion you are too sensitive. You can check some other notebook models from different manufacturers but I am really skeptic you will find noiseless notebook.
    Bye and good luck!

  • Satellite C55-A - after BIOS update cooling fan runs faster

    Hello,
    I was informed by Toshiba application that new BIOS version is available I confirmed it and BIOS was updated. Now I have problem. Cooling fan runs faster than before and it is very annoying.
    Can I find older BIOS version somewhere and roll it back? I don't need it if it doesn't work properly.
    Now I have version 1.40. Is there some solution for this new version?
    Message was edited: posting has been translated

    Toshiba EU driver page provides only the latest BIOS version.
    Furthermore the BIOS downgrade isnt possible using the win-bases BIOS update.
    In order to downgrade the BIOS on Toshiba unit, you will need to use the traditional BIOS update method which requires special BIOS version. This is available only for authorized service provider.
    At the other hand there must be an serious reason why the cooling module run faster.
    Maybe the cooling method has been improved in new BIOS just to ensure that internal parts would be cooled down properly.
    Its just an assumption but I think it makes sense
    By the way: after each BIOS update, you should load the BIOS default settings and should save the changes. If you havent done this in the past, do it

  • Cooling fan runs too much

    I've had my MacBook for about 5 months. Recently (the past month or so) I've noticed the cooling fan running a a lot. Even if it's in a cool environment, sitting on a desktop, it will sometimes run constantly. There are only a couple of applications open and no CD/DVD in the drive. This problem is random; for instance, today it started after I restarted my machine. It's been running non-stop for a half hour now. I do regular updates, including the latest firmware update last week. Any ideas?

    I'm not surprised. Last time mine did it is was a printjob that was running. I didn't try to print but something I looked at or did caused it to start.
    Go back into activity monitor and high light the process. Then click the stop sign looking icon to quit that process.

  • Cooling fan runs constantly on Tecra A3

    I have a Tecra A3 an my fans runs constantly, even when idleing, and it has done this since i got it (about 18 months ago). It also runs at a constant rate, and it's just like hear Arnold talk - very annoying. Sometimes one (?) of the fans stopp running for just a couple a seconds, and then it starts again, back to the same speed. I've had the computer in for repairs, and they changed the fan and cleand the cooling system, but this didn't make things better, well, okay, I got rid of the ratteling sound, but that was all!
    I've tried everything i can think of, currently I'm running the computer fixed on the lowest setting for the processor speed and battery optimized cooling by the help of the Power Saver utility, but it doesn't seem to help at all. I also tried setting the processor speed to low in the BIOS setup, this made some difference, and the fan stayed of for periods of up to 30 seconds (!), bur the performance of the computers performance was horrible with these settings so I had to change it back to dynamic processor speed.
    As for the the temeratures i get at temperature of about 36-37 degrees celsius (95-97 degrees Fahrenheit) for the HD temperature (using speedfan). So theres no problems with overheating (?). This leads me to believe that this might be due to a bug in the software. I'm currently using a norwegian install of Windows XP with SP2, it's a custom install, provided by my university (my computer is a student PC bought through the university).
    So, can anyone help my make my computer quiet, like normal, sane computers ?!
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Hello Stigs
    I use Tecra notebook (M1) for years and I can tell you that this model is really one of quietest notebooks I know but it is definitely no utterly quiet and cooling fan runs almost constantly but on slowest level. I know that it has nothing with your problem but I just want to say that quietest notebook produces noises.
    Reading your posting I can just say that you are probably right when you say that it can not be because of hardware because the notebook temperature is OK and there is no sign of overheating. The fact is that all newer notebooks are louder than some old models and Tecra A3 is one of them and unfortunately there is no much to do. As far as I know nobody has reported about any software bug till now. Many bugs are fixed by BIOS updates and all I can recommend you, is to check if new BIOS version is available and see if this can help. Please before you start with BIOS update read carefully Instructions how to do this.
    Good luck!

  • Mac Book Pro Core 2 Duo Cooling Fans running at 6000rpm

    Hey everybody.
    Need a little help/advice. I bought a MBP 17" C2D back in June and now the cooling fans turn up to around 6000 rpm minutes after turning on my notebook. I've tried SMC fan control, which didn't work. I searched for a stray program, but nothing turned up. I am trying to avoid having to drive to the Apple Store (I will if I have to), but wanted to see if anybody else had a suggestion. Any feedback is appreciated, bigtime. Everything works normally too, all my programs, my wireless card, etc. Leopard installed in a breeze. Thanks in advance for the feedback.

    Two possibilities:
    1. a stray process is maxxing out your CPUs, and the fans are running normally to keep the heat down. To diagnose this (A) open /Application/Utilities/Activity Monitor, choose "All Processes" from the popup menu, then click the CPU column to sort by CPU amount. Look for anything that consistently uses over 30% CPU.
    2. If you've been messing with SMC fan control, it's possible your fans are out of whack. To fix this: (A) make sure you uninstall all fan control software -- there are at least 2 different programs out there, so make sure you uninsall all of them. (B) reset your SMC chip as per: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319 (C) when you reboot, if your fans are now quiet, make sure you actually feel the macbook's case -- in one case I had, the fans stopped working which was nice & quiet, but it quickly became blazing hot which was not good.

  • Macbook pro cooling fan runs continuously after software update

    I updated Mountain Lion last night (Mar 15, 2013). I forgot the version number, but it was 10.8.? I think.
    After restarting the computer this morning, the cooling fan suddenly shot up, making crazy noise. It didn't come back, so I had to turn the computer off with physical switch. While the fan was running, battery was draining so fast. I began with 100%, but went to 65% in 45 minutes. Such thing never happened before. I did not run the computer with complicated Apps when it happened. I was using Safari and Logos Bible software. Does it have anything to do with the new software?
    It is quiet right now, after restarting. I paid more than $2k for this computer last fall. Didn't have any problems yet. But it happened all of a sudden. Anyone has any idea??

    Next time this should happen try a SMC reset:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
    If no success, look at Activity Monitor to see if you have a 'runaway process' and terminate it if not required by the OS or perform a restart.

  • Satellite A135-S4527 cooling fan no longer operating efficiently

    Hi,
    I have an A135-S4527 and the cooling fan is having issues.
    It runs at low speed constantly, as it usually does, but it hardly ever runs in high speed mode.
    It clearly needs to as the air temperature is quite high... about the temperature of a typical vehicle's exhaust.
    I'm worried it will burn itself up if I don't have it fixed, but I don't know what needs to be fixed.
    I use a USB-powered "Chill-Pad" under it at all times to make it run cooler than factory settings, but this problem has only cropped up recently.
    I've owned this computer for a little less than two years now.
    About 5 months into ownership, the HDD failed and had to be replaced (needless to say, I backup ALL my important files now).
    Does anyone have any information on this topic or the normal operation of the cooling fan?
    If so, it'd be greatly appreciated.
    Nick

    Hi!
    As Akuma said it could be that you have to more dust in the cooling ventilators or that the fan doesnt work properly.
    So in your case I would try to clean first by using compressed air spray. This could blow out the dust from the cooling ventilators. You can buy it from a computer dealer.
    If it doesnt work you should sent it to an authorized service provider. The technicians can check your notebook and clean it.
    Maybe the thermal grease must be renewed and the technicians can do this for you. Its a little bit tricky to disassemble a notebook and you must remove a lot of screws so sent it to an ASP.
    Bye

  • Cooling Fan runs constantly

    Is anyone else experiencing fan issues?  I have a mid-2011 MacBook Air 13" (4gb RAM, 128mb SDD).  Problem is that the cooing fan runs non stop...and it's LOUD.  I run it on a stand, lid closed attached to a 27inch LG Display.  Anyone else seen this?

    The computer's fans run at high speed although the computer is not experiencing heavy usage and is properly ventilated.

  • Cooling Fans running continuously since Mountain Lion Upgrade on MacBook Pro

    Are there others who have a problem with the cooling system of their Mac since the Upgrade?
    My Fans keep on turning at full throttle since the upgrade regardless of the number of applications that are open or active.
    Have this issue on my older MacBook Pro 2.4 Santa Rosa (Macbook 3,1) which serves as my test mule.
    Have not tried the upgrade on my other machines yet.

    You may have some incompatible third-party software that's causing this.  You may be able to identify it by opening Activity Monitor and looking for something that is using a large percentage of the CPU.
    You could also try resetting the SMC, which can sometimes help with these sorts of problems.

  • Satellite A100-773 - cooling fans are not spinning

    Hello,
    My notebook fans are not spinning at all,
    I installed speed fan and it does not even recognize the fans, the temperatures are 60-70 degrees, but when I stressed the laptop to 80 degrees the "emergency" fan start very low until it went down from 80.
    Does it have to be hardware problem or because the fan did actually work it might be software issue? Can someone guide me where to look?
    Thx in advanced
    Yoni

    You should definitely check the options in the Toshiba power saver (if preinstalled and available on you notebook).
    But to be honest I dont see any serious problems with your notebook.
    If your notebook doesnt overheat then the fans work fine.
    With overheating I mean a suddenly shut downs. In such case the notebook would shut down to prevent the hardware from damage.
    But it looks like your notebook runs ok However, you could check if an BIOS update (if available) would increase the fans performance and sensibility.
