Equium A60 - problems of severe graphics

I own a ' Equium A60-156 532 P4 / XP HE/256 MB / 40 GB/15TFT/DVD SuperMulti ' which I've updated with 512 MB of ram, so now it has 640 MB of Ram for system with 128 MB for graphics.

My problem is, even if it meets the requirements of apparent minimum configuration for various games (such as "Fable: The Lost Chapters"), it does not correctly display in the game. The grass is white, yellow water, unreadable text, etc etc...

I don't like the graphs such as shading and ripples in the water, I just like it so my laptop actually displays the right colors during a game!

I tried the latest driver from the Web from Toshiba, the Windows Update site AND even sought the drivers on the ATI site with no luck.

My laptop is doomed to be the trash and not play games or is there soemthing I can do?

Hey Joe,

Unfortunately drivers grpahics for your laptop has been deliberately out of engineering to prevent the graphics chip to produce too much heat.

As you probably know, the graphics chip is integrated on your motherboard in order to reduce the space and there is no separate cooling. Graphics drivers are tailored to remove those aspects of the functionality of the chip which would tend to produce too much heat.

It is generally true that the latest games tend to use features that were omitted in the drivers from your laptop.

Unfortunately, there are no eassy solution to this problem as pilots of the last chip manufacturer won't load properly on your laptop without changing.

I suggest that you try the latest drivers for your graphics chip of http://www.omegadrivers.net/, but beware your graphics chip to overheat as this can cause the pertubation requiring a new mainboard.

Kind regards

  • Equium A60-155: ATi Mobility graphics card problem

    Hello

    I have a laptop Equium A60, recently I am getting error informing messages than the "display driver ATi2mtag has stopped working properly.
    I have reset my machine as told to do the error dialog box. Reset works fine, but the laptop crashes to the desktop, when turned off and on again once I get the Safe Mode screen.

    I reinstalled the driver for the graphics card several times, and the error persists through safe mode. The returned error and trying to open in safe mode, the machine flashed a blue screen of death, too fast for me to read, even applied for each of the available options. I was unable to cross this safe mode selection screen.

    As a last resort that I reformatted my laptop, using the Toshiba CD recover but the error persists, with regular driver display and the actual machine crashed.

    Since the reformat, I reinstalled the display drivers, and the problem persists.

    I downloaded the drivers from this site and the problem is still there

    You know a possible fix or solution to this problem? I am a competent enough and user of computer knowledge, so do not be afraid of getting technical in your response.

    Thank you

    Jake Houghton

    Hello

    This problem occur immediately after the operating system starts or after several usage time?
    If this issue occurs after a several time of use, so it could be an overheating problem.
    In this case, you should check the cooling modules. Check if the fans are working properly.
    Try to clean it with the vacuum cleaner.

    If this doesn t solve the problem if you maybe there is something wrong with the graphics card and you will need to contact Toshiba service for assistance.

  • Graphic 3D MathCad for Equium A60 problem

    Hi all

    I have problems with Mathcad MCad (2001 - 12 Mcad) work on Equium A60. After trying to do any kind of 3D terrain (land surface, for example) Mathcad crashes. This problem is only on my laptop. How can I solve this problem?
    Marina

    Hello Marina.

    Well, I put t have ideas why you machine has had problems with this software, but first of all, you should try to update the graphics driver. If the problem of images fixed the same, so you should contact the manufacturers of MathCAD. Maybe they got patches. I found this site: http://www.mathsoft.com/services/technical_support/

  • Equium A60 problem overheating and stand-by

    Yes, again, someone else has a problem with overheating Equium. I thought and knew that it was a foul, I checked the CPU and it looked like 2-4% and the fan still worked riot. But recently, I noticed when I press ctrl alt del to remove the Manager tasks, the CPU is more than 50% (73% was highest) and she quickly falls to 2-4%. When he's sitting their without programs or additional processes running. So I aint got a clue whats with her.

    The problem of confirmation suddenly started today. Usually, when I close the lid of my portable computer goes off standby. Today I did it, but after about 5 seconds, to be on stand-by there walk back by himself while the lid was still closed!

    So two problems here... lucky me. If anyones got any help to share its much appreciated, cheers.

    Eddie,

    The microcntroller of power on your responsible MB of the amount of current alternative used to charge your battery, and once the battery is fully charged no extra power is used. The battery must warm up all supported actually, but fully charged when it should then cool even when plugged into AC power.

    The adapter itself will always get warm (if it is not hot) when the notebook is turned on because it provides food for the notebook.

    EMI the single more general cause of overheating is the lack of air through the radiator of CPU, or because the radiator itself is blocked by debris (as described in the previous post excellent) article of air flows blocked by the bad location of the notebook.

    Excessive fan operation is an indicator course of the CPU, not too hot. If the radiator is clear (warm air can be felt through it), then the next most likely culprit would be excessive use of CPU in which case I would check in Task Manager to see exactly which processes were underway and who used the most CPU.

  • Problems with the graphics to Equium A60 driver

    Hello everyone,

    First sorry for my bad English.

    I have some problems with my graphics card driver. After a new installation, I wanted to just install the driver for the ATI Radeon 7000 (I have an Equium A60), after that, I noticed that my pc was down. The problem was because the driver, I'm sure, because after a fresh install, without the drive VGA, my laptop works, somehow... I mean, I don't know it might work if the graphics would have a clean driver better.

    I searched on the web and saw that it was not a new problem; many people have the same problem with it. Somehow, the driver of the computer is not compatible.
    Could someone help me find a solution to my problem?
    Thank you very much

    Eurytheus

    Sorry my friend, but your ad looks really amazing. Driver Toshiba of origin is not compatible with the hardware. It cannot be. It cannot be the truth!

    Your model of laptop is almost 4 years and I assume that Toshiba had enough time to react if the display driver is somewhat problematic. I recommend you to backup all your data and try to install your laptop using original recovery image. If there is no hardware problem notebook should work again well.

    Sorry, but I don't see another solution because the pilot is certainly tested and it should work.

  • Equium A60-157, problem after update BIOS 1.90

    Hi all!

    I've had my Toshiba Equium A60-157 for two months. I've updated the my bios twice. First of 1.70 to 1.8 C and from 1.8 to the current 1.90 (common at the time I made this post).

    I noticed that as soon as I used my recovery DVDs to restore the laptop to the default constructor, I had a problem with the main user account that is normally created after the completion of the recovery strategy.

    Whenever Windows would open a session after the recovery account generated, a popup would display a message similar to the following:

    "Windows can not load the profile and connects you with a temporary profile." No changes will be saved. "

    He also said that this problem was maybe due to incorrect permissions, or something like that. The pop-up window also contained a 30-second countdown before opening in windows with the temporary profile. As indicated by the pop-message no changes would be recorded. I could even change my user account image.

    I ran it again the DVD of recovery only to get the same problem. This NEVER happened when I ran on the original bios 1.70, bios recovery DVD AND 1.8 c.

    Anyway I came up with a solution to this problem, which only caused me no problem at the present time.

    I just logged into Windows mode without failure, entered the account administrator, created a new account and deleted the account of departure (created at the end of the recovery program).

    So far, the user account-wise, everything back to normal.

    If the recovery strategy or the bios did not cause this problem, I would be grateful if someone could give me some possibilities of doing just that.

    I don't want to get updates of bios from 5-10 down the road, only to find out that my recovery DVD does not work.

    Fact the DVD should be updated as well as the recovery bios?

    Thanks for your time.

    Hi, Conrad

    Can you please tell me why you do the updates to the BIOS? Have you had any problems? I use my unit for close to two years and I didn t make any BIOS update so far. If everything works well, it is not necessary to do an update with the exception of some Microsoft updates that make the OS more secure. Don t do any update if it is not necessary.

    In any case, I am very confused with your question. Normally, Recovery DVD should not be updated. The BIOS updates are useful if there is a hardware conflict or a problem and not a problem using the operating system or any software.

    It will be interesting to know why you're doing the recovery procedure each time after BIOS update.

  • Equium A60: USB Hub problems

    I have an Equium A60 and that you just bought a USB 2.0 with 4 ports hub, but it is not recognized when plugged into one of the usb ports
    It causes also the PC hang on shutdown and startup
    Hass someone at - it had similar problems

    Hello

    As far as I know for some USB hubs, it is necessary to install a software that can help to use correctly. Some of them are plug and play devices and there is no need to install any additional software.

    I use Satellite 1900 and also have USB hub and it works correctly. In my case, it was necessary to install the driver before the hub is connected. A demon of the mine has Belkin hub and in his case, the driver has been installed after that the laptop has recognized a new hardware component.

    All this is based on the producer of hub. I hope you have some instructions how to connect the hub to the laptop on the right feel.

  • Equium A60: graphics issues and more

    Ive had so many probs with tis equium a60. It was overheating, stand by was not working and now the graffics were spoil! I rang this place recommended pcworld n they said try to format (large). anyway I restored it to factory settings while he was exactly as it was when I got it. stand is now working properly :) but it still is overheating (I mean really, it becomes it hot) and the graffics are always spoil.
    What happens is the screen freezes for a few seconds, then he goes the worst possible of display settings, so everything is massive and the colors are all wrong. and a pop up in windows as a encountered an error please reboot.
    This happens only at random times, I do not understand why ive formatted. I don't know if the card graffics itself is exhausted. any help or ideas appreciated. see you soon

    Hi Dave,.

    I think he should assume that your problems stem from overheating. It is very common for the dust and debris to form and block the passage of air through the CPU cooler. I suggest trying to remove such an accumulation or blowing into the heatsink (towards the cooling fans), or by sucking debris with a household vacuum. If all else fails, then you can remove the heat sink and the dust before replaceing it. Beware that this may invalidate your warranty.

    Normally a thermal trigger remove power if it detects the CPU heat too, but this does not mean that other problems cannot occur.

    If you still have problems with you appear after you have addressed the issue of overheating then please post again.

  • Equium A60: CD and DVD reading problem

    I have a laptop that uses a carpet Equium A60 * a UJ-811 t dvd/cd-rw. For some reason any all of a sudden when I play a music CD or a DVD it jumps slightly. On audio, it's like a constant ripple, and the video jumps a few images every few seconds. Don't have an idea why its doing so. Any help appreciated. see you soon

    Hello

    He s strange. It s easy to tell why it occurs. For me, it looks like a constantly driving rotation. You have other problems to drive with no media music or a movie?
    Other possibilities that you can see are the properties of the drive.
    Please see the properties of the drive. You will find a hardware tab. Please select here your player and press the properties button. In the Properties tab, please check if digital playback is enabled. You should also try to disable this option and check if this problem occurs again.

  • Graphic update for Equium A60

    Hi all!
    I'm new to this so you do not laugh too if my question is stupid! I have a laptop of equium A60-155 with graphic 64 MB built in, is it possible to upgrade to 128 MB or higher at all? I got different answers from different people so wanted to know once and for all, & that seems to be the place to do it. Thank you for your help in advance. Craig

    Hi Craig,.

    As you probably can see, your graphics card sharing his RAM with your CPU. This is controlled by a setting in your BIOS (titled "UMA" if I remember correctly).

    Go into the settings of the BIOS you look for this setting. If it is selectable (it is in my Phoenix BIOS on my A30), then you should see a pop window displaying a range of contexts usually 32 MB, 64Mb (default) and 128 MB.

    Obviously if you assign ity 128 MB, this will reduce the RAM remains available because it is shared.

  • Problem loading on Equium A60-157

    I have an Equium A60 who until recently worked perfectly. The battery was empty until it stops. Now the battery will not charge when the AC lead is plugged in. Amber led on front stays THERE no matter how long he remains connected.

    The indicator of battery level in the Control Panel, power options, tab said power meter battery is at 0%, critical and in charge, but does not load. I tried to charge it for more than 24 hours with laptop on and even turned off but nothing. I can't understand what causes this problem.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello

    It s very strange however.
    I see only two possibilities of malfunction.
    The battery is dead and you need a new or motherboard failure there.
    But in my opinion it s battery failure

    Check if the new battery will solve your problem of load.
