Hello comunity,
So I have a Toshiba Satellite L745-SP4023A running Windows 7 and I'm having issues with the motherboard fan.
I bougth it used from an IT guy, so the laptop was ussed in a office and does not have any scratch or signal of missuse un terms of being hit.
I understand the fan is automatic, when the computer heats up it starts spinning. But it happens that sometimes the computer starts heating up and it wont turn on. I just cant seem to predict when it will turn on and work properly and when it just wont start spinning even when internal temperature rises to dangerous levels.
I did download SpeedFan and started monitoring core's temperature, but the software wont recognice the computer's fan.
Also cant seem to find fan's hardware configuration on the bios, seems that bios does not have control over it (may the fan have its own temperature meter and be plugged directly to power source, bypassing motherboard?)
So, any advice on where to start? Certanly, the fan is not broken (as i first thought). The problem acctually is the umpredictability of its behaveour.
Thank you very much!

Hey people, so I found a blogpost with a suggestion and I'd like to share it with you, I'm gonna test it right now and then post my results:
here's the walkthough: https

it says "windows 8" but same options are available on win7
