Urgent Help for OVERHEATING Toshiba Satellite L305D-S5900

[pezz]

Fi some reason all of your equipment run flawlessly at high temperatures

you need a screen shot? I talk mostly from experience

Guess what? I have been running the same overheating machine now for over an hour with no issues again......It is no longer shutting down. Guess what I did? I Simply booted up the machine and left it on the logon screen and so far so good...NO ISSUES....Which means it is definitely either a driver issue or a corrupted OS so I am gonna load Windows Xp and downgrade it from Vista as it looks as if this machine is not Windows Vista compatible

That sounds like a load. There's no way a corrupted OS is going to turn itself into a burn test, otherwise Intel and OZone3D would be working with MS a lot more closely. The same thing was happening to my friend's Sager laptop. He simply took some canned air and blew chunk of dog hair out of the fan vent. I suggest you try the same.

leaving the system at the logon screen....it wont shut down because enough load or stress is not on the processor to make it run hotter hence shutting down when the temperature rises....as other suggested just get a can of air then clean the laptop vent,fan and heatsink as best as possible...reapply thermal interface material on the processor if you can then post your results

since ricky nuh have nuh talk, here are my screens from my lappy. next time shet yuh mouth

My Toshiba lappy Mobo died when I notice it was runnin a bit hotter than usual so I wouldn't rule out Mobo problem...... My vents or sink weren't blocked with excess dust, hair or anything of the sort neither.

it could be the dc adaptor

Have you confirmed that the fans actually start spinning to cool the machine?

check also the vent dirt clogs it overtime i use a pin and a small damp cloth to clean the fan blade or just turn on your house hold fan on it

As said by everyone. Check the vents for dirt. Clean it out. Make sure the fans are spinning. Leaving it at the login screen does not test effectively - CPU is idle and no load = no extra stress = no overheating. Almost like leaving the machine on in CMOS. Would also suggest getting something like removing your old thermal paste and replacing with AS5 or other paste. You could also invest in one of them laptop coolers to ensure that it keeps cool when you have it on whichever surface.
