Do you need a good power plug for your computer?
Do you need a good power plug for your computer?
Hey guys. I am using a 19V 90W adapter that is getting too hot after my CPU upgrade. I switched to an FSP 19V 150W adapter from Aliexpress and it seems like enough power for my laptop. My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite P305-S8915 with an ATI Radeon HD 3650 GPU. Before this change, the old CPU was Intel Core 2 Duo T6400, but now I'm using an Intel Core 2 Extreme X9100.
You are trying too hard to turn your laptop into something way better than its specs say it is. Question: Should I upgrade my CPU? Hi, I put an Intel C2E QX9300 on my Satellite P305-S8915. The computer just turns on for 5 seconds and then restarts. The screen stays black and the satellite logo won't show up. I tried bending some pins of the CPU and it still doesn't work. What should I do? Please help: Laptop: Toshiba Satellite P305-S8915, CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo T6400... forums. The reason I'm mentioning this is because the processor you added has a power draw of 9 watts higher than what was on before. It shouldn't even make your charger heat up. It should just make the laptop get hot since that cooling system wasn't built for such a high-power chip, while also having a dedicated graphics card in the way of air flow. The other part is that the microcode inside the BIOS can't figure out what to do with this new processor because it isn't supported by the computer. In fact, what will happen is the power lines on the motherboard will fail spectacularly since they are past their useful life and the parts inside the laptop are already way over their optimal range (remember how old this thing is?).
I tried hard on my old dead CPU, but it didn't work with the new socket or motherboard. It is useless because the parts are broken. This cost me sixty dollars.
