• Can satellite A200 (PSAFCA) - I upgrade the GPU?

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A200. PSAFCA-01K00J. It is the system bought in Australia around mid-2007. There are currently a processor Nvidia GeForce Go 7300 intslalled on the system graphics.

  Preliminary investigation which leads me to believe, there are limited options of upgrade for the laptop, but there seems to be a number of anomalies to lead me to think the upgrade may be at hand. For example.

  In my user manual, he described my gpu in the following way:

  model lnVidia GeForce Go 7300:
  128 MB external VGA DDR2 RAM (depending on the model you have purchased).

  The external Word I think fact now refers to the interface type. As some A200 Intel 258 MB marked as integrated Gpu (and I'm the average current integrated without possibility of upgrade). This offers as well the nVidia is not integrated and leads me to believe it's connection MXM and so editable / extensible.

  Another thing to back up this idea is software Nvidia located in the control panel includes a section on system information and she calls the PCI express X 16 bus. If I'm not mistaken refers to a normal PCIe - certainly editable location. However being a laptop they might have it Mobile and so Mobile PCI Express Module and I'm back to MXM with ability to upgrade.

  This is confirmed if he please, and are there toshiba fans that could lead me to a card apropriate - perhaps off the coast of the Nvidia tray or even a chance for a toshiba laptop later. at least 256 MB or better 512.

  I have ike using this laptop, never had a problem. just be to hang out, and given that I would not buy a new car every time that I ran out of gas, I don't want to buy a new computer, when I am more then happy with the one I have for all other functions.

  Thank you

  Hello!

  In my opinion it's not possible to change the graphics card. As far as I know the graphics chip is soldered on the motherboard.

  In addition, if the graphics card would be exchangeable I think than the motherboard or BIOS will not support the new graphics card. The point is that laptops are not favourable so upgrade as a desktop PC.

  Check this Toshiba document and think about it:

• Satellite P305-S8822 - withdrawal of the dedicated graphics card

  Dear members of the forum,

  probably due to a fault of the graphics card dedicated to my

  Toshiba Satellite P305-S8822 (PSPC4U - 02T 014)
  Processor Intel Core 2 Duo T 5550
  ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 graphics card
  3072 MB PC5300 DDR2 SDRAM
  200 GB Serial ATA hard drive

  I'm not able to install Windows 7 or an another Version of Windows. Because I don't have the dedicated graphics card (only the onboard integrated graphics card) and found no BIOS option to turn it off, I would like to remove it from the motherboard. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find out whether or not the ATI graphics card is welded (which this would make very difficult). Thanks a lot for your answers and a better idea to solve the problem.

  To be honest, it won't be easy to solve your problem. Why?
  Many people who have mobile machines the same logic valid for desktop computers. Exchange upgrade or hardware components on mobile units is very limited and you can simply swap the GPU or change the BIOS settings.

  If the GPU is faulty in many cases entire motherboard must be replaced. I don't know what other people will write here, but what you can do is contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help or advice what can be done about it.

• Satellite A350D-10Y - failure of the external graphics card?

  Hello guys,.

  I have a toshiba Satellite A350D-10Y and I get some sounds of the sound system of the laptop, but a kind of Mermaid on the mother, accompanied by lights driver dvd, map emitte acoustics is two short beeps. I'm getting these two short beeps loops within a period of 5 seconds +-.

  I downloaded a video for you, to listen to the sound emitted by the MB, in the end you can hear better because you get less noise from the cpu fan:

  Feature of the motherboard: ATI external graphics card

  Things I've done:
  -Remove the battery and try to put on without it.
  -Switch of RAM on the slot a RAM
  -Clean cpu fan one its exhaust
  -Change is the motherboard on a new

  Now, the problem was taken up to, or is the processor or the external graphics card.

  I think that the problem of the graphics card, because if these was a problem of the processor, I'd get the audio system of the laptop beeps and not a buzzer next to the MB.

  Can anyone here help me?

  From my point of few it of not possible to say what s wrong with the laptop without running certain diagnostic tests and check the part.

  The often shorter and emits a beep when turning procedure appears due to the POST (power on self-test) failure.

  This essential POST routine determines the available memory real quantity and checks for the presence of required hardware components.
  In case one of the hardware components would be defective, the power on self test could not be transmitted correctly and the laptop would begin to create some beeps.

  If you are sure that the modules of memory so that the card mother isn't affected, then one of the pieces referred to as CPU / GPU can be the troublemaker.

  Hello

  I think that it shouldn't be a problem to upgrade the WLan card.
  As far as I know its a card wireless network of miiPCI and you would need to also use a WLan card which would support the miniPCI interface.

  The wireless network card supports two pins for the WLan antenna cable.
  Usually, you must connect a white cable to the HAND and a black to the auxiliary voltage

• Is satellite A10 - possible to install the new graphics card?

  Hello

  I have a videocard Satelite A10, 2.2 Ghz, 712 MB of RAM, provided with your computer.

  I just bought the Sims 2 and thought from the specifications that I would be able to play on my current card. However when I try to run it it gets to the intro screen and then hangs when it is ready to go into the Menu. My first impressions are that I don't have a pretty good graphics card.

  I need a 32 MB T & L capable card so can someone confirm if this is why it would not work on the system.

  If that's the case I'm looking to see if it is possible to install a new graphics card on the machine I want to play more games to date.

  the map I'm looking at is Sapphire ATI Radeon 9600 XT 256 MB AGP8X graphics card. It will work on the machine and it is likely to solve my problem?

  Thank you

  HI Jeff,

  In General, it is not possible to change the graphics card in your laptop. This is because the graphics cell are generally not a component separated (as with a normal PC), but generally a specific graphic chip attached to the motherboard so make the graphics a part of the laptop.

  At the same time, the graphics driver is normally a specially modified version will omit some of the more esoteric aspects of the normal driver to minimize the risk of overheating chip since it does not have its own cooling system. Given this, you will find probably than trying to load the latest graphic website manufacturers drivers (Nvidia, ATI, etc.) will not work, and you will therefore be limited to these pilots provided by Toshiba on their Web site.

  In order to get your copy of the SIMS 2 to run you need to omit or reduce some of the graphics settings in the game itself, or alternatively, you can try to use some of the graphics third-party drivers that are written to provide some of the omitted features of the original notebook drivers. Note that if you do that there is no guarantee that they won't cause your overheating graphics chip, even if I used the ATI Omega drivers for some time now without any problems. You can get them: -.

• Upgrading the video graphics card - HPE-180 t

  I need to upgrade the video card in my HP Elite HPE-180 t. My PC came with ATI Radeon HD 5450 graphics card and the standard power 460 watt. I intend to switch to NVIDIA GTX 650 it, model 2 GB. I do a lot of editing video and need a video card that has "cuda" processors on the video card.

  My questions are this card with my work computer at will (1) and will (2) I also need to update the power? If food needs to be replaced what brand and size of power supply should I buy?

  Most GTX 650 it require a 450 Watt or greater power supply with PCIe auxiliary power connector. You may or may not need to provide a new power. Please review the Corair CX500, CX500M, CX600, or CX600M your power supply needs.

• Need to upgrade the m15x graphics cards

  Hi all, I have an old Alienware M15x i7 Q840 (1.86 Ghz) with 8 GB of RAM. I no longer play video games and just use the PC for movies and for the work. (I am a business analyst and I work with very large spreadsheets / data tables / VB / SQL etc.)

  I just got a new monitor to do work from home a little easier as it is ideal for multi-tasking and has a very high resolution. (34-inch Dell UltraSharp U3415W curved LED.) Problem is that the graphics card on this machine *. (NVIDIA GeForce GT 240M) I have two questions: 1. is there a graphics card I could throw out there that would allow me to get the full resolution of my monitor (3440 x 1440) and how it would be difficult to install? I'm pretty handy and exchanged coins out before but my experience, it is quite limited when it comes to portable computers).

  2nd - which is another option if I can find a good deal, it is: are there any sites or companies can I pay Custom build a PC Tower for me? I don't want to spend an arm and a leg, and as I said, I do not play video games... but I am what you call an "advanced user" because of the large data I work with... and would like to get a solid Setup for home use. I wanted to build my own time is no longer available to do yet so thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone had any suggestions for me.

  Side Notes: I had a very good deal on a Samsung SSD 256Go 850 PRO (also have a 4 GB Seagate quick disk Portable HARD drive that I use for all my storage)

  Appreciate any input or help thrown my way about these 2 questions! Thank you!

  People by Clevo/Dell versions is the vBIOS on the card must be either Dell Clevo. If you get one from MSI, it won't work. MXM is just the form factor, and most of the 7970ms are in MXM.

  Hello!

  I think that there is a problem with the file that you downloaded.

  I checked the page of European Toshiba for Satellite A210 driver download and I can't find the TO03 firmware. I downloaded the zip file and zip in this file is a readme file and another zip file which contains an exe file that you need to start only.

  Maybe you need to download the file again. I can't find a .bat file in the archive. ?:|

• Is satellite C650-1CP - possible to upgrade the GPU?

  Hello

  I just wanted to ask a question about my graphics card with respect to the games.

  I discovered recently that the integrated graphics chips are not only good for gaming so I did a bit of reading on the subject and found something to say that there is a possibility that you can send the laptop to the manufacturer and buying a chip upgrade or pay for a better installed.

  Is this possible? and if this is the case, what kind of price would you watch. My laptop is a C650-1CP as I said in the title.

  Hello

  The M40 is a not sure oldie about the available settings in the BIOS and in the graphics options, but I think you should check the settings of the graphics card ATI Catalyst.
  I remember that ATI catalyst supports certain options such as resizing the Image. Here you can select the image scale Panel option full size
  In addition, you must set the resolution on the internal screen at native resolution of 1280 x 800
  I think that the external monitor supports the resolution, which is not the same thing as the screen internal.

• Pavilion n201ax: upgrading the GPU, the CPU and the RAM of my laptop n201ax

  Maybe it's a very long post, but please answer because I really need answers to each of these questions and I really want to upgrade my laptop to the best configuration, if I CAN.

  Let me make this clear first.

  * In the next contained the words 'this portable' always refers to Hp Pavilion 15-n201ax *.
  Good then everything first I read somewhere that the maximum Ram of this laptop can be expanded up to 16 GB, but i came up with this link here-

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/hardware-upgrades-replacements/I-would-like-to-upgrade-memory-of-my-lap...

  And then I came to know that it can only be upgraded to 12 GB page chapter 1 Description this Guide - #2

  http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c04438537.PDF

  First of all I would like to ask, is that,

  1. can I buy a RAM of any brand but the same 1600 mhz clock speed ofc IE?, then can I go to the GSkill 1600 Mhz DDR3 4 GB of ram?

  2. the size matter for respective locations? or I can install the 8 GB and 4 GB of ram in any other slots?

  So this was all about the RAM

  But I need to know if I can change the discrete GPU and the APU of this laptop

  3 and if yes - which are compatible mobile GPU that I can install by removing the previous one ie AMD 8600 M (for example graphics R9, R7 and R5 for laptop)

  4 and who are the compatible APU I can install by removing the APU previous IE AMD APU A10 - 4655 M (for example the AMD FX APU for laptops)

  5. If I can upgrade the GPU and APU both please tell makes compatibility issues? as only a specific GPU can work with a specific APU IE as in this laptop AMD APU A10 - 4655M + AMD 8600 M GPU.

  Please help me, please.

  Thanks in advance.

  We may need to refer to the owner's manual here:

  Your repair manuals

  Officially, it supports only 12 concerts. Your model has a single module of 8 GB if you have an open slot. Unofficially, users here can have reported that add another 8 GB for a total of 16 concerts will work fine. It's something you take the risk of making but it is not official.

  The part numbers for the appropriate memory are listed on page 42. You must DDR3L-1600 SO-DIMM.

  If you want to go formal, the 4 GB module is: 691740-001

  Is this on amazon.com:

  http://www.Amazon.com/HP-691740-001-1600MHz-PC3L-12800-memory/DP/B00CI08FX4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&QID=1437948185&SR=8-1&keywords=691740-001

  You just leave the concert 8 where it is and add the new memory into the open slot.

  On your laptop model, the GPU/APU is soldered to the motherboard. In order to make any upgrade, you will need to buy a new motherboard. You have an idea together wrong GPU/APU can be removed and replaced and this is incorrect. The term APU refers to a processor that has integrated video, so the whole issue on the compatibility between the GPU and APU just missing the mark. On some systems, the GPU/APU is socketed and can be replaced which is used to replace/upgrade the processor and the video function but as stated above, on your this involves pulling and replacing the entire motherboard.

  There is available a little better/graphics processor using AMD A10 - 5745M 8670 M (2.9 GHz/2.1 GHz, 2 GB L2, 1333 MHz DDR3L Quad 25W) for use with Standard Windows. The part of the motherboard is 734824-501

  HP does not store the Council, but I found this line:

  http://www.discounteddealz.com/product.asp?Itemid=327740&gclid=CO78y6rn-cYCFQmCaQodOP0GLQ

  Never heard of this seller and can not be a guarantor, but the price is very reasonable for this Council. I was expecting to be a little more makes me wonder about this seller a little. I would advise to keep what you have. He is very strong for AMD and the upgrade to the Commission on the A10-5745 will result in only a very small increase in performance to a very high cost in money and efforts.

  You said that the jury is listed with FRIEND 8.21. Check that your PC is running FRIEND 8.21?

  You shouldn't have a problem to start the recent graphics cards, if your computer is running a version 8 BIOS. Ensure that the selected card suits and corresponds to the power supply of your PC.
