Hello All,
I am new to this forum, this is my first post. I had a few questions hopefully someone could clear up for me.
I have previously owned 2 Dell laptops, the 5150 with the Pentium M and the 600m with the Centrino processor. 2 weeks ago I purchased a Toshiba M205-S4806, Intel Duo Core, 200gb, a/g/n wireless, and LabelFlash. I thought it was a pretty decent computer for what I paid for it. I am a law student and need a reliable computer for 6+ hour tests. About a week after I bought my new computer, I noticed the fan was running CONSTANTLY. One day, the computer brought up a blue screen, then just completely shut off. I figured no big deal, probably a one time thing. A few days later, while browsing the internet, it completely shut off, no warning or anything. I called Toshiba and they told me to return it for a new one.
No problem, I return it and get a new one. Now, the fan on this computer is loud, especially compared to the Dell 600m I had. It's loud when I am just sitting here using the internet and the internet only. I downloaded SpeedFan, but was told it didn't work with the Toshiba interface. I used the "Battery Optimized" cooling fan setting, and it turns the fan on very low, but it gets very loud. How can I check the temp of my HD and my CPU on this computer?
Thanks a lot for the help, sorry about the length of it. Any suggestions would be great, even if they are "return that computer and get a different brand." Thanks!
