Toshiba M400 BIOS 1.8W thoughts
Thanks to the individuals who left me the comments that this bios was available. Since I have been running Windows Vista RTM, I have since upgraded to the 3.1 BIOS for the M400. Unfortunately the FAN runs like a JET engine. So I had to weight BSOD (Vista and the M400 and drivers don't get along very well) vs. JET engine FAN noise. I decided to choose the later as reducing FAN noise is more important to me than BSOD.
Well anyway, to minimize the BSOD issues, I uninstalled any unecessary programs that install drivers. And everything is working fine and most importantly quiet.
I may revert my FAN hack if Toshiba makes this a permanent setting or at least a configurable setting. It seems like they already have this setting in the power management software under the heading battery optimized.
