Temperature queston about Satellite P200-1EE

While running Opera browser and Cyberlink Powed DVD the CPU core temperature reaches 70*C often. Temperature noted via RightMark.
The CPU load is usualy varying between 14-25% and utilising 55% of the physical memory at this time.
Although when left idle (AntiVir/Firewall/AntiSpy.......running) the laptop settles at 50*C, with 10% CPU load and 48% physical memory.
Is it normal, or is it worth while investing in a notebook cooler?

Hi again my friend,
the problem with that rightmark and PcTest and blablabla-tools is, that the temperatures are displayed too high and are not telling reliable whats going inside of your machine.
The point is that notebooks have different types of hear sensors installed, which are mostly not known by such apps like rightmark or SysCo (whatever).
If you really want to know which temp. is inside your machine, then buy an temp. sensor and measure the temp of the air which is blown out from the ventilation holes. If your CPU would have 70 degree then your machine would be REALLY REALLY hot and you wouldnt be able to work with it.
So, no need to investigate money into an notebook cooler.

  • Satellite P200-1EE - Hard disk not found if I try to install XP

    Hi and I have a problem.
    I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite P200-1EE series laptop running (of all things) Vista and nothing but problems ever since so im trying to install XP professional and overwrite Vista.
    But whenever I try to install it says "hard disk not found..... unable to access"
    I've heard of problems like this before something like a "software block protocol"
    Any suggestions?

    Hi!
    Why you dont search in the forum before you start a new topic?
    I mean you will hundreds of threads about this issue here in the forum and you will find the solution of your problem in few minutes.
    Well, the reason for this is because you need the SATA drivers before you can install Windows XP. As far as I know your notebook is equipped with an Intel chipset and so you need the Intel Storage Manager. You can integrate the drivers using an external FDD or nLite [www.nliteos.com]. Furthermore this document could be useful for you:

  • Does Satellite P200-1EE has BT built-in?

    This is going to sound like a really stupid question ( coming from someone who used to work in the I.T. industry ) ....
    I have seen a lot of mention about '*Bluetooth*' functionality, but *how do i know for certain if my 'lappy' has it*, _*or*_ better still *if it has ever been setup* for it
    ( I have a *Satellite P200-1EE* - if that makes any difference ) ??

    im in I.T is well. unfortunately on the box it shows the blutooth sign... it doesnt have bluetooth capabilities. if you need bluetooth you can get attachable usb sticks which come with the software required to make your computer bluetooth accessable. good luck.

  • Satellite P200-1EE - Can I get a Blu-Ray drive for it?

    At last, Toshiba have joined the BDA!!!!!!
    Does any one know if or when they will release a Blu-Ray drive to replace the HD-DVD drives in a P200-1EE?
    I know this post may be little premature but I have felt betrayed ever since buying the laptop and 3 weeks later Toshiba dropping the HD-DVD format.

    Hi!
    I dont know when Toshiba will release a Bluray drive that you can buy to exchange it with your HD-DVD drive.
    But maybe a drive from another manufacture will also work on your notebook. In your case I would go to the nearest computer shop and ask for such a drive. Maybe you can test it in the shop if it works because not all drives are compatible with all notebooks (e. g. pin assignment).
    Good luck!

  • Sound and graphics drivers for Satellite P200-1EE and Windows XP

    Hello all,
    I just bought a new Sattelite P200-1EE. I had it downgraded to Windows XP Service Pack 2. from Vista.
    I have two problems:
    1. I cannot find the graphics driver for the ATI Radeon Mobility HD2600 for Windows XP. When I hit the link,
    I get an "could not connect to remote server".
    2. I cannot get the sound driver to work. In fact, I can't even see the sound card. Ishel there something else I need to install?
    Thanks for any help

    Regarding the point;
    1) It looks like a driver server issue possibly the guys maintain the server. I would recommend checking this in next few days.
    2) First of all you have to update the XP to the latest state. All available MS hotfixes for XP must be installed. Very important are these patches; KB888111 and KB835221. You have to install these patches before the sound driver installation.
    Best regards

  • Satellite P200-1EE not able to wacht videos in fullscreen on youtube

    Hi guys,
    Im confused as i have a brand new p200-iee for xmas and try to watch a video on youtube or for example bbci player but i either get just a black screen with sound or black and white diagonal screen with sound, i have dropped my resolution down from 1440x900 through all settings but no help?
    DVD's play full screen fine, and i have d/l the newest flash player as i think this is the common link between sites
    any help muchly appreciated!!!!
    cheers
    will

    I do agree with it most likely to be a software issue, although when you watch vids from youtube are you straming them or do you download them. I can stream them in its small size but when i want the fullscreen option that's where this problem occurs.
    This is the same for the bbc site, i have the latest flash player installed so my next step is codecs, but i would have thought u would need them for streaming??

  • Satellite P200-1EE Can I install a 2nd hard disk in the spare bay?

    First of all, hi everyone!
    I have the above model laptop, and it has a spare disk bay. There are pin connectors at one end, but it does not seem like the drive will fit. It's like there is a component missing - like the connector slot housing for the 1st drive. I have bought a 500GB drive, and have tried seeing whether it would fit. The 1st drive has a metal caddy attached, and that did not work either.
    Is it possible to fit a 2nd drive to this model? If so, what would I need to do it?
    Thanks!
    Andy

    Hi
    If you have a connector in second HDD bay you can add a second HDD. But you will need such a metal caddy as on the first HDD. Therefore you can contact an authorized service provider because you can get all spare parts from them.
    On the Toshiba website is a list of all ASPs, check this!!!

  • Satellite P200-1EE: HD-DVD issue: Unable to output video to external device

    I know this subject has been brought up before but after searching the web on and off for months now I still can't find a solution that works for me.
    The problem occurs when trying to use the Toshiba HD-DVD Player to play HD-DVD discs. The program starts but after reading the disc it displays the message +"Unable to output the video to an external device. Please check the external output setting after ending the application."+ and will not play the movie. I'm not sure when this problem first started happening as I went a couple of months without using the HD-DVD feature but I know my laptop was capable of playing the DVD's on both the laptop's display and through the HDMI cable when I first got it just under a year ago.
    Toshiba's website mentions this problem and suggests updating the Realtek Audio drivers but I've updated several times now and there has been no change. I've also updated the HD-DVD Player software, also to no avail. The problem is the same regardless of how I try to output the video and occurs on any HD-DVD disc.
    I've read that PowerDVD may be a better choice for playing HD-DVD's but I'm rather reluctant to spend the money when it might not work so unless someone can guarantee this as a solution I don't think I'll be trying it.
    If anyone could suggest a solution that I haven't yet tried I'd be very grateful.

    >The program starts but after reading the disc it displays the message "Unable to output the video to an external device. Please check the external output setting after ending the application." and will not play the movie.
    Today is your lucky day mate ;) I found a solution!
    Here in this thread you can find a link to a Toshiba doc which describes what is going wrong and what you have to do to solve this annoying issue;

  • Satellite P200 1EE - can this output to 1080p via HDMI?

    HI
    My first post on this forum.
    I recently bought this notebook and have connected it to my LCD TV at home. However, I can't seem to get 1080p via HDMI only 1080i (my TV is capable of accepting 1080p through HDMI). Anyone know if this is possible? (I have updated the latest display drivers from Toshiba).
    Also whilst watching movies, I am noticing a lot of grain/noise on the notebook screen. Is this normal or is it a defect? I was watching Transformers HD DVD last night and could see loads of noise not only during dark scenes but generally throughout the film.
    Any help will be much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    Shak.

    Hi Shak.
    It helps that you've ensured your LCD tv supports 1080p. For this resolution you have to check in your graphic card driver catalyst a needed option. Open that control center and look for dvi settings and uncheck the "reduce dvi frequenzy on high resolution displays" option. 1080p should work now.
    For the grainy/noisy thing with the Transformers HD-DVD. I don't think it is a defect or something like that. Just put in another movie and see if the picture quality is better or not. Quality differs from movie to movie.
    Check it out and give me a quick answer if it worked.

  • Satellite P200-1EE - Can't get camera to start

    After plunging through the forums I notice a lot of people have been having problems with their built in web cams.
    Before the camera was just moody, turning on and off stating other applications had locked usage (when they werent even on, not even in background tasks) but it stopped working.
    I managed to uninstall the camera driver and download the Vista version of the website. The software seems to have installed fine but when you start the software it says "turn camera on" and even by pressing the hot keys I cant get the camera to start, just the software with a grey screen.
    I checked device manager and its no use.
    Help please! I dont want to have to go out and buy a new camera.

    Hi!
    I have two Toshiba laptops and no problems with the webcam. Both webcams work fine and without problems.
    Did you download the driver from the Toshiba website?
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
    Maybe a BIOS could also solve the problem.
    Have you installed the notebook with the Toshiba recovery disk or Microsoft disk?

  • Satellite P200-1EE - is the Data (E:) drive physically seperate from C:?

    Want to format and re-install everything on the laptop as it's playing up during operation. However need to confirm if the drives are actually seperate and not virtual, so I know to backup on an external drive instead of losing everything!
    Thanks for your advice people!

    I agree with Barrie. When you use the Toshiba recovery disk, the HDD will be formatted and you will lose your data.
    If you use a Microsoft Disk, you can choose on which partition the OS (operating system) should be installed. So must not backup your data.
    By the way, I save my data additional on an external HDD.

  • Question about upgrading a graphics card of Satellite P200-13z

    Can i upgrade the graphics card on my Satellite P200-13z? What are my various options and the corresponding prices?
    I only have built in onboard intel 3D accelerator card.

    Hi
    Such questions were posted many times here in the Toshiba forum and there is only one answer;
    Its not possible to upgrade the graphic card on any notebooks!!!!!
    The GPU is mostly soldered and fixed on the motherboard and its impossible to remove it!!!
    You ask for various options? Well I read about external graphic cards for notebooks but in my opinion this is not a real option and dont think the performance of such graphic card would be much better as your internal graphic card in the P200 notebook

  • Satellite P200 (PSPB6A) - Heating Issue

    I have recently setup my Toshiba Satellite P200 notebook as a Win-XP(SP 2) & Win-Vista Home Premium dual boot. I have also installed the SpeedFan utility to monitor component temperature on the system.
    When booting with Win-Vista Home Premium, the CPU temperature is generally in the 50-55(degree Celsius) range. However, on booting with XP, the temperature shoots up to the 65-70(degree Celsius) range and a loud noise from the fan is heard.
    Would someone be able to help me figure out as to what could be the problem with the installation?
    Thanks
    Arun

    You are speaking about heating issue if then temperature increased to 65-70 degree celsius?
    Hey buddy, such temperature is nothing unusual
    The CPU temperature can increase up to 100 degree Celsius and this depends on the notebook usage
    Furthermore you said that you have installed Win XP on this notebook
    In this case you should check the Power Saver settings
    In Basic Setup you could change CPU control method, CPU processing speed and cooling method these settings would affect the temperature and the cooling

  • Satellite P200-17C: graphics in XP seems to be running a bit sluggish

    Hi all
    I've just bought a Satellite P200-17c.
    I've set up my dual boot with Vista and XP (that was REALLLLY hard) everything seems to be almost OK, but..... The graphics in XP seems to be running a bit sluggish, when you scroll a window in a browser it seems to 'refresh' in blocks - it's not moving right. If I go to device manager under other devices there are two things for which there is no driver install, one says: VGA controller, the other says: unknown device!
    It's true that I haven't istalled the ATI drivers yet.... But that's because the only place I can find to get them for XP is from the Toshiba support area, the file is 162MB (not that big) but it is downloading at such a slow pace even though I have a fast connection, I don't even know if it will work?!
    I've tried some things from the ATI site directly, althought I was trying to install the drivers for the ATI HD2400 graphics card that the machine has, on installation it said it couldn't continue as there wasn't any compatable hardware connected.....
    My download from the Toshiba area has already gone wrong once, meaning I have to re-start it.
    Does any one have any light they can shine on this issue. If any one has the driver downloaded already and fancies sticking on mega upload or something, that'll be fun???!!!!!
    Ideas suggestion welcome!

    Hi
    I was very curious about driver offered on Toshiba support page. You are right about file. It is about 160 MB and I have needed 20 minutes for download but download was successfully and I do not see any problem that you can not do the same.
    Extract the file and just use setup.exe to start driver installation.

  • Satellite P200-1B6: Sound Driver update fails and HD-DVD Player doesn't work

    I have just bought a Satellite P200-1B6 laptop and spent the day installing the updates recommended by the TEMPO program. One of these was a Sound Driver update from RealTek but on running this it fails about 80% of the way through with an error: 'Install Realtek HD Audio Driver Failure !!'.
    Now the Toshiba HD DVD player fails to start with an error 'Unable to output the video to an external device.
    Please switch your display device by pressing the Fn + F5 keys after ending the application'. I've tried this but it seems to have no effect.
    I'm now regretting starting to update the installed drivers. Should I try to rebuild the machine using the recovery discs or is there another solution that someone has found? Or have others found the upgrade works?
    Any advice welcome

    Last month I upgraded my PC Satellite P200 (BIOS, Driver ATI HD2600, Package VAP and HD-DVD Player).
    But after this update, I was no longer be able to read my HD-DVDs
    Error message was: "Unable to send the video to an external device. Please turn off the display device."
    The problem was much of the update Realtek R1.76 (Realtek Sound Driver - 6.0.1.547 - 20/11/07) currently proposed on the site toshiba.
    Indeed, the P200-1DE is equipped with Realtek ALC268 Audio Codec.
    The latest update of this codec is R1.89. I downloaded from the site Realtek and it has allowed me to solve the problem.

    I have no problem since that last update
