Overheating The computer slows down to snail pace, I took it all apart (Toshiba Satellite CEL600) and oiled the CPU fan. It is quite now, seems to cool and spin well (I applied 5VDC thru USBport). Maybe the CPU won't overheat this time? Takes a while to put it back together. Also dropped some oil (fine lubricating bike or vaseline oil) on the external fan, it is quite. The CPU fan was really noisy and seems to tough and rattle against the black plastic cover, so I will just reattach it to the metal parts without the plastic coat.

You will probably need to replace the CPU fan down the road and remove the old thermal grease between the heatsink and the processor ic for new compound, will make all the difference.

SOURCE: toshiba satellite a135 monitor goes black

You could have a defective screen - a defective inverter or a CCFL lamp.
To determine if you have a LCD screen or video card problem, read this and follow the instructions.

Defective CCFL backlight, it may have the following symptom:

  • Screen flashs on red/pink and off.
  • Picture stays on in red and slowly be come normal.
  • Picture flickering with dim display.
  • Picture flickering on and off.
All these symptoms indicate that the LCD backlight lamp (CCFL Lamp) has reached the end of the life and all you need to do is replacing the CCFL lamp

Connect an external monitor to your laptop and power it up, if you see the normal Windows images then the video card and laptop is OK and the problem is definitely the backlight.

Dim image and/or dark display on the laptop's LCD screen indicates a faulty LCD backlight and it could be the inverter that supplies high voltage to the CCFL lamp or it is the CCLF lamp is nearly burnt out or burnt out, most likely this is the case.
The inverter can be replaced easily but the CCLF lamp is more time consuming and requires soldering skills.

My computer shuts down while im playing a game
This laptop was not designed to be a games machine, so the stress on the CPU will be quite high, generating a lot of heat. If the fan is unable to dissipate the heat from the cpu, but more importantly from the graphics chip, the laptop will shut down to stop damage.

What I suggest is that you open up the laptop and clean the area around the heatsink and fan and inlet grille, even a mild build up of dust and fluff will cause the temperature of the laptop to rise 10 or more degrees. Eventually overheating will cause the graphics chip to unsolder.

This link is a good guide

My Toshiba P35-S611 shuts down without warning a short time (2 min-45 min) after it boots up. The battery isn't hot but the heat dissipation fins in the back are very hot.
Indications of laptop overheating problem:
  1. The keyboard and the bottom of your laptop are very hot when the laptop is working.
  2. The CPU fans are working all the time at maximum rotation speed and operate much louder than before.
  3. The laptop suddenly shuts down by itself without warning. When it just started, the laptop was shutting down after 1-2 hours and how it shuts down after 5-10 minutes of operation.
  4. The laptop works fine when it runs idle, but shuts down as soon as you start using any memory demanding applications (DVD player, image editing software, video editing software, etc.).

Solution:
If the CPU heatsink is not clogged with dust and lint completely, you can use canned air and just blow it inside the laptop through the openings on the bottom and on the sides. It’s nice as a precaution measure, but it might not work if your laptop already has a problem and the heatsink is completely clogged.
  1. Open the laptop case, so you can access the CPU fan and the heatsink. In some cases you can access the heatsink through the latch on the bottom of the laptop. Sometimes (for example Toshiba Satellite A70/A75) you have to open the laptop case all the way down.
  2. Carefully disconnect the fan cables on the system board and remove the fan. If the fan makes unusual sound when it spins (grinding sound), I would recommend to replace the fan.
  3. Clean the fan and the heatsink with compressed air.
  4. I would also recommend removing old thermal grease from the CPU and applying new grease for better heat conductivity.

Toshiba Satellite A15-S157 Overheating
The initial message you see may be an indication that the CPU fan is not working. I suggest you remove the bottom cover of your notebook and use a compressed air can to clean it up throughly. It'll help with the overheating problem.

Most notebooks have an electronic fan control, but the fan should be ON all the time (it may slow down or speed up). I suggest you downlaod CPUID's Hardware Manager from here (it's free):

http://www.cpuid.com/hwmonitor.php

Install and check the temp of the CPU for a couple of days to be sure it's never higher than 80 C.

Toshiba Satellite 1005-S157 shuts down periodically by itself. Replaced fan/heatsink. Still shuts off.
you need to check a few things... when the fan/heatsink assembly were replaced, did you make sure that the thermal pads on the CPU and GPU are NEW/Good.... Make sure that the Heatsink GPU pad Firmly sits in the chip....

You can test the thermal controller by using a hair dryer or heat gun.... Point it onto the heatsink pipes and see if your fan spins when the pipes get hot, then remove and see if the fans slow after a minute...

You might have faulty RAM or Misseated RAM... Pull The RAM chips and reseat them...
Also Make Sure Your CPU Is Locked Down....

Periodic Shut Downs Can Be Caused By Quite A Few Different Things...

Typically it's due to Thermal Damage
Though Failing RAM or A Failing Hard Drive, Overheated Video/GPU Chip, Or Even Failing CPU can as Well Cause This Issue...

Toshiba satellite a205-S5847 cuts off while working
You could have an overheating problem, The CPU shuts down when it overheats and the laptop won't bootup until the CPU has cooled down.
The overheating problems are caused by a faulty fan or the heatsink/fan assembly is clogged with dust which prevents proper cooling.
Check the fan to see it it spins freely, if not (it has a bearing problem) then replace the fan. Also remove and vacuum the dust off the fan and heatsink.

Overheated
if it doesn't shut off the laptop or anything than this is not a problem.. but if you want to fix it, you need to take it apart and put a bigger fan in it.

Cpu fan
There are no drivers for fans. You have 2 possiblily's, the more likely of hte 2 is the fan is shot and needs to be replaced. The other possibilty is the connecter that the fan plugs into went bad and is not suppling power to teh fan. Start by replacing the fan, it is something you can do on your own if you have some tech ability. And yes the computer running slow can be related to the computer overheating. Hope this helps. L8R
