Toshiba Sattelite C660 Intel i5 CPU 2.3GHz - Locked to 1.3GHz only!!

Hello,
I have Toshiba C660 Satellite Laptop with Intel i5 2.3Ghz - Turbo Boost 2.9GHz.
I'm running Official Windows 8.1.
I recently noticed that my laptop is slow and laggy, and upon checking on task manager CPU stats, i noticed that my CPU is locked in between 0.7 GHz and 1.36GHz.
What ever i do it remains maxed out on 1.3.
What can I do ? is my CPU fried? I tried re installing windows with no luck.
please help! thanks
This is my task manager screen:
Also here's HW Monitor screen:

in order to determine if the cpu is able to reach its max speed, you need to run a bench program like IBT, Prime or the like. Download the program then run and check the cpu load and speed to see if it is functioning as expected. Also, if your on battery power, the default power plan may limit the max cpu speed. You can temporarily change this or run on the power adapter which usually allows the cpu to run at 100% max by default.

Toshiba Sattelite A300

I have a Toshiba Sattelite A 300 notebook and recently it start heating. I mean really heating, if you keep it on your feet it can get you burns, any thoughts what can be my problem?
HowToLounge

Check the vents on the bottom and sides of the computer. Make sure that there is no dust or dirt blocking the vents. Make sure that you are using the computer on a hard, flat surface. Blocking the cool air coming in from the bottom is a sure way to overheat the computer. If the computer is 3 or more years old, you may need to get the silicon grease between the CPU and the heat sink replaced. It can dry up or dissipate over a period of time. You're going to need Toshiba Certified tech to correctly install the right silicon grease in the computer.
I never use canned air to blow the dirt in the vents. It just moves the dirt around without removing it, and the compressed air is often damp causing liquid to get in the system.

Your model belongs to part-number family PSLB8U, which corresponds to European-models' part-number family PSLB8E.
Go to the European download site and look up the Satellite L300 with Short Part No. PSLB8E.
When you filter for Windows XP, you'll find there are 35 drivers, utilities, and so forth listed.

No, even if you could the CPU isn't strong enough.
However you can install the DVD version of Linux Mint 10.10 (not 11 or 12) then theme it to MacBuntu 10.10 (follow the links in the quote instructions below) and it will look like OS X, plus it's a lighter OS version and runs well on netbooks. I have one myself as Apple doesn't make a netbook.
Don't do this on your only machine, you need a way to get online and ask at Linux Mint for assistance.
http://www.linuxmint.com/index.php
MacBuntu 10.10 video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxODltR8IZY
Note you will not be able to run Windows programs (perhaps a few with Wine) or OS X programs in Linux. But there is lots of free software in the Software Manager and Linux Mint 10.10 (DVD version) installs a lot of useful stuff free, like LibreOffice, software to manage music, Firefox, mail etc etc.
Netbooks are not that powerful anyway, so Linux makes a excellent choice over Windows.
Again 10.10 is the best you can likley do on your hardware.
Enjoy.
ds store's: Easiest, trouble free way to install Linux I have found yet.
These instructions are for a complete wipe of a boot drive and install of Linux, not a "dual boot" / "partition alongside" Windows which is a more risky and involved affair.
Once you do this, unless you have a FULL Windows install disk and valid product key, your PC Vendor version of Windows, it's factory recovery partition, your files and programs, will be totally removed and unrecoverable.
This will NOT work for Mac's as they use EFI and no BIO's, only generic PC's with BIO's can this work.
Linux overwrites the entire drive with a new EXT drive format, recovery of data is not possible. If you do this to a machine that doesn't belong to you, you will likely be facing serious charges of the destruction of private property.
1: Download PenDrive Linux, USB Easy Installer (Windows), stick in a empty (or soon to be empty) 2-4GB USB drive.
http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
2: From the first menu you see there, pick a distro (my advice for your first Linux, is Linux Mint 10.10)
If you want to look like OS X then pick MacBuntu, if Like XP, then "Like XP 10.10"
All three of these ARE based upon Ubuntu, but much, much better.
3: Check the box to download the distro, go get a beer and have a sandwich.
4: Browse to the finished download, Set the correct drive letter for the USB. Format the drive. Leave rest alone. Create.
Stick the USB in the target computer, for towers you need to use the BACK USB port.
Hook up a Ethernet cable to your router or modem to download wifi and other drivers, important!
Now you need to find your BIO's boot key on this page.
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/a/biosaccess_pc.htm
5: Enter the BIO's and set the USB as the first boot and save. Reboot off the USB key.
6: Your in the installer, choose to erase the whole disk and install Linux. Make sure you have a wired internet connection for drivers/updates. (Linux formats the entire drive, all data will be lost)
That's it, it's very, very easy. Your machine should be fast too.
Get sick of one distro, there are others. You can even turn Linux Mint into MacBuntu at this link
http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/326
I would go this route if your interested in the OS X look, because Linux Mint is the best desktop for newbies. Everything is there, then you take that with you with the OS X theme switch.
Also if you have a powerful machine, you can install VirtualBox and run a distro in that as well, like Ubuntu.
Good Luck

Mainboard P45-C51 BIOS 5.1 : cant run Intel Q8300 CPU BSOD

Hej i have a Mainboard P45-C51 BIOS 5.1 cant get it to Run with a Intel Q8300 CPU please help..
I have tried 2 x Q8300 BSOD under Windows7 Installation. but with an old CPU Like Core2/6420 i works great.
dont think i have 2 broken Q8300 because there work in others motherboard from Gigabyte.
Kind regards THXMAN

Quote
But get BSOD from 2 brand new Q8300 just out of the box.
Any chance that there is a broken or bent socket pin that matters to the Q8300 more than to the E6240? Have you checked that yet?
Can you please have a look at the heatspreader of both Q8300s and write down the sSpec Number? There are two revisions of the Q8300. One with and one without Intel Virtualization Support. [SLGUR and SLB5W]
I don't know why, but there is no useful CPU Support List for your board (or any other board of that series for that matter). That is why it is impossible to check if the CPU is actually supported or not.
A look at the last generation of MS-7519-Board reveals that the CPU Support List does not have any of the two Q8300-CPUs in it. So this may be a simply no-support issue which has nothing to do with broken components (as you said, it is rather unlikely to get two different broken CPU exemplars).
What you can do is to contact MSI Support and ask what could be going on here:
http://support.msi.com/
They may provide you with a newer BIOS-Revision to try your luck with (the latest BETA Release I know of is A7519IMS.524 (v5.2b4)).

Help!!!! Touchpad Freeze!! - Levono G470 Intel Celeron CPU B800 laptop

Just recently bought a levono g470 Intel Celeron CPU B800 laptop and faced this issue. Wherever i switched from my keyboard typing to my touchpad, the cursor will freeze for 2 seconds before it start moving. What is with the hang time?? I downloaded the lastest 470 touchpad driver version and same thing still occur. However, if i downloaded a random Lenovo touchpad driver which it not my laptop series, it works fine. Is my laptop faulty??????? very dissapointed with Lenova, this is just my second day since i purhased with my hard earn saving, and this problem occur.

My CD driver does comes with a older version touchpad driver. Lenovo did released a newer version of the touchpad driver, however, after install, same things happen, touchpad freeze for 2 seconds whenever i switch from keyboard typing.
Make me wonder, what purpose does the newer version driver serve, since it does not even solve the problem in their older version. Hopefully, Lenovo do really look into this!
And thank you YIGIT for your help , even though my problem is not solved yet .

Hd intel 4000 code 43 on windows 8.1 - It only works with an older driver version

Hi there I have an HP Pavilion Sleekbook 14 PC (HP Pavilion Ultrabook 14), with a 18FA motherboard - version 82.23, F.12 Bios, and a Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000. The graphic card only works with the 9.17.10.2932 (12/12/2012) driver, and everytime I try to update to a newer driver version, it shows the "Code 43" error. Does anyone knows how to update the drive and solve the "Code 43" error? Without solving this issue, I can't install the Windows 10. I've tried to update to Windows 10, but it doesn't run this old graphic display driver and it only gives me a blue screen, and if I install a new driver version, there it comes the "Code 43" error. Thank you, guys.

Hi ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues with help from the community!

I would be happy to assist if needed. How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Please let me know.
Thanks.

Satellite C660 - Intel HD graphic family - OpenGL 3.1 support

I'm trying to make my Satellite C660 (PSC1LE) compatible with OpenGL 3.1, but am having trouble downloading the right drivers. The latest update was in 2011.

The OpenGL is part of the Intel graphic driver which can be downloaded from Intel driver website.
First of all you have to check what Intel HD graphic card this notebook/CPU supports.
Then you could download the Intel driver from Intel website (choose zip package)
After that you have to unzip the package and should install the driver within the device manager. In device manager choose the Advanced installation procedure. This allows you to choose the driver files which are located in the downloaded Intel driver folder.

Satellite C660 - Intel HD Graphics update issue

Hello,
sorry for my English level, I'm French
I have an issue without solution with my Satellite C660 (for the moment i hope!) I downloaded the software google sketchup 8, dedicated to the architecture drawing, but it doesnt work, I always have a bug message informing that it is necessary to update de drivers of the graphic card (According to google support it seems that OPENGL functions should be implemented in the drivers of my laptop)
So I have downloaded the last available drivers for the configuration I have ( Intel HD graphics for pentium, windows 7 64 bits) ;
the link ( french website, the one for Intel is not currently available, it is an .exe document)
http://www.touslesdrivers.com/php/constructeurs/telechargement.php?v_code=37057&v_langue=fr
I have tried to manually update de graphic card driver with the device manager menu (graphics card > update the drivers button> manual file.exe selection ), but at the end there is no update, I only have a very quick message informing that windows has determinated that the drivers are already updated.
Actually there is no changes on the drivers (still the same date of the pilotes 28/07/2010 in the graphics card properties) and sketchup is still out of work
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Hello
Thank you for the reply, the type of the laptop is the C660 2RG with windows 7.
Regarding the Intel HD graphics I've tried to download it directly in Intel website but the appropriate file (name Intel HD graphics for Intel Pentium and Celeron Processors with Intel HD Graphics) is not available, when you click on itn you have a displayed screen which propose to scan you laptop in order to determinate your needs
But even with this function you have at the end a message telling that the configuration is specifically done by the laptop builder and no action could be taken.
To run the application Sketchup i need, the driver must support the OpenGL components (usually available in the graphics cards driver, but it seems that Toshiba configuation has been done without it)
Thanks

Blue Screen appears on Toshiba Satellite C660-11L (PSCONE)

Dear all,
I have this problem ... I believe that it is the display driver, but I prefer to ask you, because you are the TOSHIBA specialists after all. So, I use WinXP Pro x86, SP3, fully updated, without viruses (NOD 32 v. 5 + Malwarebytes).
When I switch to thumbnails and there are some pictures, when I try switching on my camera, when I even sometimes try to play a movie on my computer and the "blue screen" appears and the laptop automatically restarts by itself.
So far I was not able to find a driver for the model 11L, but only for C660. Could that be the problem? Please, support me with the solution that I am searching for.
Best regards,
A.D.
Solved!

T60 does not boot with Intel T7600G CPU

I replaced my Intel Core Duo T2400 with Intel Core 2 Duo T7600G CPU in ThinkPad T60(1951-CTO) laptop. However, laptop does not boot with Intel Core 2 Duo T7600G CPU. It doesn't even complete the POST: https://db.tt/8UL8FlE0 As seen in the video, I plugged in the power adapter at 0:02 and pressed the power button at 0:06. One can hear a little click made by optical device. If I press the power button again at 0:16, this click does not happen. BIOS version is 2.27. I have reset the BIOS settings by disconnecting the CMOS battery, but this didn't help. Once I replace the T7600G with my old T2400 then I'm able to boot the laptop.
Any ideas what might cause such behavior? Shouldn't there be beep codes in case of CPU issues? What else to try?

Since you came from a T2400, does your T60 even have a Rev. 3 motherboard? If it does not, then no Core 2 Duo will work, only Core Duo's.
I don't claim to be the top authority on T60 motherboards, but I believe any will use a Core 2 T7600, 7400, 7200 if the firmware is updated.
My own experience mirrors what TuuS has stated. I have yet to see a T60/p from any walk of life with a recent BIOS that will bark at a proper Core 2 Duo CPU.
