Dynamic Switchable Frequency of CPU causing overheating

Hi there I got Toshiba Satellite A10 that always shutdown by itself after I turn on the 'dynamically switchable frequency' from the bios (factory default). I don't find dusty fan or heatsink. The fan is working well. I know that it's overheating but I believe the main cause is not because of dusty heatsink or spoilt fan. Can you help please?

A small tip I have seen used was to glue 4 plastic bottle caps on to bottom of the unit using hot glue , this gave it a better air flow in and out from the laptop as many unit only have tiny rubber pads which don't allow the unit the air it needs to remain cool , with my laptops i always run a external fan as overheating is a problem on may models , you can also buy laptop stands that have fans incorporated in them that can run off a USB port as most laptops draw the air in from the bottom and out the back or side to expel it , the laptop stands force extra air in through the bottom and improve the temp a lot and are inexpensive .

SOURCE: Dynamic Switchable Frequency of CPU causing overheating

I have a similar problem with my A200. I have to change this setting to Always Low, and also disable the second core, otherwise the computer switches off and restarts. In case it was due to driver updates, I used the Recovery Disc to restore Vista and observed the same problem.

Everytime i turned ON my toshiba satellite a135-s2276 then it always turned off after 5seconds

You laptop could be overheating.
When the CPU overheats then it will shutdown (i.e. thermal overload) and won't boot up again until it has cooled down.If this is the problem is not fixed then the CPU will eventually fail.
A faulty fan causes this problem or the fan and heat sink assembly are cloggedwith dust.
Check the CPU fan to see if it spins freely, if not replace the fan. If the fan and heat sink is clogged withdust the remove the dust and make sure the vents are clear and dust free. Use acan of compressed air to do this.

Toshiba Satellite A200 unstable on power

The problem is probably not in the motherboard itself, but may be internal to the laptop.
From what you've described the problem is either in the AC Adapter itself or in the power supply inside the laptop (the area where you plug the AC adapter into the computer.
The first thing to try is another AC adapter if you can get a hold of one or purchase one if need be as it's the most likely source of the problem. More than likely it's providing enough power for the system to recognize it's attached and draw power from it, but there is likely a short inside it or the cords keep the power from being constant.
If you do not have a full adapter to test with, you can replace the end that plugs into the wall with and universal plug - something you can buy at major retail stores. The adapters take a lot of wear and tear and can be damaged from all the stuff we put them through.

My Toshiba m205 4806 shuts down spontaneously. The lap top feels warm but the fan is running. any suggestions?

The cpu get overheated and will shtdown to protect it. The fan continues to run until a CPU safe temperature is reached / sustained.

1. Use laptop on flat surface, not on pillow, carpet, bed, etc. that will restrict air flow. Using a can of compressed air, clear the air vents.

2. If the symptom continues, then the heat conductive paste between the cpu chip and the heatsink is no longer effective (hardened, too thin, etc.). Remove the heatsink and add thermal paste
($6 Radio Shack).

Toshiba Satellite Goes completley off! Black screen, NO POWER!

This problem is likely caused by overheating. The CPU reaches a temp to high and shuts the system down. When you try to turn it on the system is still to hot and it will not let the computer power on. You can try blowing out the fans and heat sink with an air compressor or can of compressed air. If this does not help the problem you may need to have thermal compound reapplied. If that does not fix it it will need a new heatsink/fan/

Toshiba Satellite M35 and BIOS/CPU Replacement

No the BIOS is not a replaceable chip. Yes the BIOS can be reflashed once the computer is working. And, definitely Yes. An overheated CPU will definitely cause a shutdown.

Toshiba Satellite shuts-down by itself in about 1 minute

Could be hardware or software problems, IF its hardware issue the only problem makes this if the Cpu fan doesnot work, so the Cpu gets hot and then it shutdown in order not to be damaged. but mostly its software issue that remeber if you installed any program before this is happen, and try to stop shutdown by this command, if you did this and this stop shutting down your laptop this is absolutley software problems or programs conflict:
hit Start, then Run , then type this : shutdown -a
this will stop your shutdown if it works, try to uninstall the last programs causes this issue,if it doesnot let you use safe mode command.

Toshiba Sattelite A10

Yes its fixable. Fan noise is most the time related to excessive usage of CPU resources. Best thing is to uninstall unnecessary applications. Do complete maintenance. Remove no essential startup items by using MSCONFIG.
Also you can use Disk Clean up

Please post if you need further assistance. Good Luck
