Games with Satellite Pro A100

Hello guys!

Want to buy Satellite Pro A100 with ATI mobility radeon x 1600 with up to 512 MB of memory, hyper, and I want to know if I can play games like a 3D ' need for speed ', "doom3" or "cell support" if I buy it!

Thank you!!!

Hello

You want to play high-performance games?
Hmmm. The Satellite Pro A100 is a good laptop. BUT very powerful
I wouldn't buy a laptop if I would have preferred to play hardcore games.

Why
1. the laptop hardware (CPU, GPU) must be cooled and play games like doom3 or cell support each device operating with maximum efficiency. This will produce one would be a lot of heat and the temperature rises. Drivers for laptop control devices and graphics driver for example would decrease the performance of the graphics card because of the high temperature. (low performance-> low temperature). In this case the game would also slowly or with lower performance

2. second drawback of the laptop is the availability of the graphics driver update.
Graphics drivers of manufacturing of the laptop are usually not the same as the graphics driver of the manufacturing of the graphics card. They are slightly modified and therefore, you can install and use only manufacturing the laptop drivers.
And especially the graphics drivers are not updated. And you know that the graphics driver is the most important driver if you want to play games

I recommend you build a desktop PC for gamer. I'll do it next time
You know I'm not going to buy a PC completely, but I'm going to buy unique pieces and only with the best performance that rocks ;)

  • Satellite Pro A100 becomes warm while playing a game

    I had a problem for some time with the Satellite Pro A100 when I play games.

    I'm glitchy spells during the game, sometimes with the fan runs much and the laptop is very hot.

    Is there something I can do?

    Hello

    As you've probably experienced peripheral internally as CPU and GPU have to work with the best performance all in game. This leads to higher heat dissipation.
    If fans and the internal vents are clogged then the CPU and the GPU may not be cooled properly and may lead to overheating

    What can you do? You can ensure that your vents are free of dust and debris, and that air can circulate properly.
    I would recommend so clean the fans with a jet of compressed air. These aerosols can be ordered from dealers different computer/laptop.

    In addition, don t use the laptop in the bet, couch or on the knees because the cooling fans would be stuck and this would lead to a higher temperature.

  • Satellite Pro A100-080: NVidia display driver's break in 3D games

    Hello

    I have some problems with the display driver since I bought the laptop 9 months ago. I tried to install each new driver published on the toshiba site but no driver is running stable on my system.

    The problem is that my laptop crashes with blue screen when playing 3d games and my windows vista tells me that it is the display driver causing accidents.

    I had the previous version of the driver installed several months ago and I think it's more stable than the current version. Unfortunately I lost the files for that one, but I prefer a functional driver for this laptop.

  • Strange problem with RAM on Satellite Pro A100

    I have a Satellite Pro A100 (not sure which...)
    It came with 2x256mb RAM, which are mounted. I noticed my laptop slow, so I checked what he says on the properties of the workstation - who said RAM 192Mo...

    Any idea what's going on?
    I had a peek inside, both are mounted securely, while the right push entirely? There is a small gap (about 1 / 2mm) so that is the little nick and real editing. -What is the cause? Or it's maybe faulty?

    Please help me!
    Thanks in advance,

    Diana

    According to the description of your problem, I guess one of the memory modules is not recognized by the system and the specified result 192 MB of Ram only tell me that your laptop has shared graphics memory card.

    Satellite Pro A100 is fairly new to laptop and, in my opinion, you should contact service. The guarantee must be valid and if everything is defective it will be replaced free of charge.

    If possible, tell us what Satellite Pro, you have exactly. This info you can find on the lower side of your laptop.

  • Satellite Pro A100-622 can not read the card SD and Memory Stick with Windows Explorer

    I have a Satellite Pro A100-622 running MS Vista Home Basic Edition. I tried to use the card reader integrated with SD and Memory Stick card but cannot view the contents using Windows Explorer.

    In both cases, the laptop recognizes the card and try to install new hardware. Unable to do so, he asks the drive of the software provided with the cards. Any software not provided with a card and I cannot find drivers to make the drive work.

    The only application that I can find on the laptop that is associated with the player is a module of SD formatting, but I don't want to format the card (s) I want to just read the current content of them and add files.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    You can download the drivers (and especially in your case for the sd-card-reader) here:

    http://PC-support.Toshiba-Europe.com/Vista/

    and here

    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    So the other point is the service of the SD card must be enabled in the start menu-> Control Panel (change to Classic view)-> Administration-> Services-> Chip card (at this point, you must activate the service and configure it to start at windows startup).

    If you have any other questions, just ask. ;)

  • Satellite Pro A100-828 refuses to connect to the internet with modem MDA Vario 2

    I have an Equium A60 which I use regularly as a modem for mobile internet access. Still, it connects to my MDA VARIO 2 (HTC Tytn) and gives quick access.
    However I just bought a Satellite pro a100-828 who, for some reason, refuses to connect to the internet through this phone.

    T-mobile want nothing to do with the problem and that it is a conflict between the phone and the bluetooth stack Toshiba. The phone has always look like that is going to connect and then to computer recording connected to the screen network switches the modem feature phone.

    As you can guess I'm sitting at the old equium typing this so if anyone can shed some light on this I would be very happy?

    I tried to uninstall the bluetooth stack.

    The fact that your old Equium was connected via BT to this modem?
    Perhaps a Bluetooth stack of new version of battery BT facility allows or you can try to use the same version of BT stack that is installed on the old notebook

  • Satellite Pro A100 with Modem USB internet connection problems

    Hi all

    I'm looking for some help with a problem. I am struggling to solve. I have a Satellite Pro A100 and sometimes use it with a speedtouch 330 what ASDL USB connected modem, but whenever I use this at some point that I seem to lose connectivity, the Explorer does not display the pages and other applications stop working, even if I do not seem physically the connection loose. It is often the only to get back on the net to restart and start over.

    The modem doesn't seem to be the problem as it works very well with my desktop and the laptop works very well when it is connected through wireless and idea and solution would be greatly appreciated.

  • Cannot use wireless LAN with my Satellite Pro A100

    Toshiba Satellite Pro A100-830

    Can not use the Wi - Fi connection. When you use "Free Config" to find peripheral wireless the popup "this connection is controlled by other software. I don't know what that means and what software controls the connection. I have other laptop which is duly connected by wireless. I'm ok with wired connection.

    I don't know much about the technical aspects and therefore ask for help so any reader can.
    Thank you

    > Can't use the Wi - Fi connection. When you use "Free Config" to find peripheral wireless the popup "this connection is controlled by other software.

    You may not use the ConfigFree for configuring Wlan but own Vista configuration options or the WLan configuration tool like Atheros Clint Utility or Intel ProSet utility. It depends on the WLan card which utility can be used.
    Card Intel-> Intel ProSet utility; Card Atheros WLan-> Atheros Clint Utility

    I guess the message + this connection is controlled by other software + appears because one of the above options controls the WLan.

  • Satellite Pro A100 - recovery mode sleep with keyboard or media remote

    Hi guys

    I have devoted my Satellite Pro A100 to be a media center which is located under the TV and can play media network and DVD etc..
    It is using Vista.

    I want to set up, is that the lid is closed 24/7 365 days and when I want to use I just press "SLEEP" or power button on the remote control or the keyboard and it fires up ready for action.

    POINT TO THE NOTE. I did it successfully with my OLD Tecra M3. However, was too slow for vista and media center

    However, I put the power settings I want etc, close the cover nothing and activated standby hybrid (favorite sleep).

    Now I CAN put it to sleep with the remote control or the multimedia keyboard. BUT I can wake up?... NO!. I thought about everything... went to the Device Manager and made sure that all the options for the remote control and keyboard and USB receiver are set to WAKE FROM SLEEP. The only thing to wake up it is the power button - which defeats the purpose of it sitting there like a dvd player.

    awake when the remote control and keyboard function very well - I made sure that the batteries are charged.
    I have the latest version of the BIOS and speaking of BIOS there is no option power S3 I noticed, but then there were not on the M3 and it worked very well in terms of sleep and wake up with the IR.

    I come to the forum because even though I know that some older systems will not work with vista - IF the M3 will work - I'm sure that the A100 twice as new and powerful.

    Has anyone had this before - that I missed it must look me in the face.

    Thanks in advance.

    PS Also lately the touchpad played upward IE left and right clickers Exchange feature so one second your work as normal the next minute you click left and right clikc menu appears. Reset the synaptic reinstalled - rebuilt - BIOS - no difference.

    When I worked in management for a large company when it started happening was not good news - it's a bad news?

    Hello

    I m not very well why it doesn t on your Satellite Pro A100 and why it works on M3.
    But the fact is that the Satellite Pro A100 doesn t support the FIR (Fast InfraRed) port and the
    Tecra M3 supports the fast infrared port.

    Maybe this could be the reason why you can not activate the laptop using the infrared remote control multimedia.

  • Satellite Pro A100-830 with 4 GB of memory but the BIOS tells me that I have only 3 GB

    I have a Satellite Pro A100-830 and I bought the maximum memory for what is 2x2gb, for a total of 4 GB in my world. When I put the DIMMs in themselves in a slot, the BIOS reports 2 GB. BIOS Bravo! When I put both together, I see only 3 GB in the bios!

    I found this link on the Crucial site. http://www.crucial.com/kb/answer.asp?QID=4251

    Suggest page files, peripherals etc. occupy memory on your system at startup, before the operating system is used I guess. If you do not have the maximum memory installed, you should see the total memory. If you got the maximum memory installed, you will not see the memory used by page etc. files. Why would it be? Why you would see 2 GB if you have only 2 GB but then see 3 GB if you have 4 GB due to the system!

    Anyone can shed some light on this subject and be eligible or reject the information in this link. I need to replace the memory and/or the pc?

    Thank you

    Mark

    This is not a BIOS problem but a Windows.
    I found this info:
    Windows XP Professional 32-bit is limited to 4 GB of address space. If you have 4 GB of RAM installed, it won't show 4 GB in Windows. You will probably get what the size of your pagefile subtracted the 4 GB.

    Some of this address space is reserved for the hardware and the operating system... so you will never have access to the 4 GB maximum in any case. If you want access to 4 GB of RAM +... your best solution is to pick up XP Pro 64 - bit... but this will only work if your CPU P4 has EMT64. (64-bit)
    You can also try to turn on DEP if it is not already enabled... This will also allow EAP that can give you access to all 4 GB

    So finally a response:
    > Do I need to replace the memory and/or the pc
    -> No, everything is ok... you need not to change the hardware

  • Satellite Pro A100 - cannot update driver ATI

    Hello!

    I have a problem with my graphics ATI Mobility Radeon x 1600 card card. I can't update to the latest driver from the ATI. The program says that it can not install on my system - contact company for the most recent driver. But the one that is provided by Toshiba is almost two years!
    It all started with, that I could not run FIFA 2009... even if it clearly States in EA own manual that this graphics card is supported! But I do not see everything in the game - except the players. Only their shadows are visible...

    I know it's a lot, but I'm pulling the hair here!

    HEEELP!

    BTW: my system: Toshiba Satellite Pro A100-PSAACE - Core2Duo 2.0 GHz, 3 GB RAM, 120 GB of HARD drive Windows XP Pro.

    I really wonder that many people do not understand why the laptop manufacturers don't offer drivers for graphics cards so often.
    Each laptop manufacturer deals with design, hardware components and drivers used for the operation of the equipment. On laptops, hardware components are miniaturized and placed close to each other. This means that the heat and is a common problem for the designers of the laptop.

    Each computer laptop (hardware, drivers, BIOS, cooling system) is designed to operate in optimal conditions. If you want the new driver that can force a graphics card to run on the maximum limit, the result will be more heat. More heat means more risk for damaging hardware and overheating.

    So to laptops, there are limits that must and should be respected. Graphics card manufacturers cannot just offer new drivers for laptops and be responsible for the damage. When some owner of the laptop is damage graphics card because of the driver who should be responsible? ATI or Toshiba?

    For this reason, graphics card manufacturers say clearly: If you want the new driver laptop computer contact the manufacturer. Manufacturers must also protect the customer s of material and be careful with this stuff.

    So I think you see how it works and the display driver update will be probably endless discussion on each laptop computers forum.

    Good luck!

    > During a game for half an hour, the screen darkens and a second view later, I get a blue screen.
    Well, my first thought is that this problem is related to the graphics driver.
    I mean it could be a software problem.
    But I know that a BSOD can also occur if the graphics card chip began to malfunction.
    In your case I m not sure what could cause this problem. But to play a game, that the GPU is running with a maximum yield and produce a lot of heat. If the temperature rises to a higher level the GPU can also cause a BSOD.

    Anyway, first of all, you must check if the graphics card driver update could solve this problem.
    Maybe you could use a driver from other websites but please note that this is ONLY possible at your peril!

  • Satellite Pro A100: Display Driver ATI Mobile Radeon X 1400 WinXP

    Hello there :)

    I have browsed the forum and could not find another thread that helps me. I have a Satellite pro A100 PSAACE laptop, equipped with a Mobile Radeon X 1400 graphics card. Now, I was informed by the games that I play that drivers are up-to-date. I think it is true that in the last few days, I formatted my laptop and then only initial drivers from the disc of recovery of the product are to be used.

    I visit the ATI site, and they inform me that I have to contact my laptop to the manufacturer (that Toshiba are not in the list of supported manufacturers) in order to get the new drivers. If I remember I should get all my updates page to download the driver from this Web site. The only problem is that apparently he not there no update driver for the graphics card (to share for one for Vista).

    I recently reformatted my computer using recovery of product, and so that's why I was after the new driver. I don't remember for sure, but I'm pretty confident that I have already downloaded a updated driver for my graphic chipset during the last 14 months of use (before formatting my hard drive).

    Now, if someone could offer any help to find the driver, or have information about the problem, it would be highly appreciated. Once more, my specs (you need to enter on the page of the driver) are portable series A100, PSAAC, PSAACE, and I use Windows XP.

    Thanks for reading, and I would appreciate any feedback whatsoever.

    Hello
    You can find the display drivers at the following location:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com (Support & downloads), choose your type of laptop and then download the ATI display drivers.

    Make sure that you select Windows XP as the operating system. Check it out.

    But note that the display drivers for laptop computers are not updated as often as for desktop PCs. If you encounter serious problems with your real driver version then just leave it.

    You can find the other drivers on the internet, but to use at your own risk.

  • Need best driver of ATI X 1600 for Satellite Pro A100-830

    Hey

    I use my Satellite Pro A100-830 (PSAACE-00W002EN) for the most part to play my games, but unfortunately I can't. It seems that Toshiba doesn't provide good enough graph-drivers because every time I play, for example: half-life 2, I get this error specefied: internal driver error in IDirect3ddevice9::present()

    I tried to reinstall my computer all with CD distribution which followed with my PC, but this work of t is not a long time. I also tried to download than the latest ATI drivers, but they can not be installed, nor OmegaDrivers (Installable but didn t work).
    I use Windows XP and I have all the updates of 'Windows Update'...
    Just when I reinstalled my computer, I downloaded all Windows, then the most recent BIOS updates, and after that, I deleted the ATI driver that was limited to the CD and installed the ATI driver 'later' of Toshibas own homepage.
    (Not only Steam-games doesn t work, almost none of my games...)

    Please help me on these "desperate times." Would be happy if you could write the answer directly to my email address:

    Hello

    To be honest, you are not alone in this and many laptop users want to have better performance and play the latest games which can be played with the latest and newest materials. If you have a portable way but want to have maximum on graphics performance.

    Sorry but I think you wait a little too long. We are talking not on desktop computers and notebooks. As a player, you understand without doubt that high-performance graphic has a result a lot of heat, and it can be very dangerous for the portable equipment (placed on the square). Using the most recent and better display drivers will require you probably to a graphics card to work under pressure but the result may be overheating or even damage the material.

    Be reasonable and understand that laptops have lower graphics performance and laptop manufacturer has only one priority: to protect the equipment. Because of this there not much updated graphics card drivers.

    I don't really know what games you try to play, but I tested my old M70 (also ATI) graphics card with several games (not later) and it runs good.

    Bye and good luck!

    The two models of laptops are old enough, is not easy to find some useful information on this subject. I remember that some P100/A100 and A200/P200 / X 200 models were offered with these keyboards.

    I m not a technician but I think these keyboards with keys have two cables must be connected to the motherboard and keys touchpad without buttons have a flat cable only.
    (I also believe that models with and without this touchpad have different numbers) model numbers) so it is possible that they have different mothers.

    What you need is a professional help with this. I mean, if possible, try to contact nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer and ask for help. They have access to the database of Toshiba and can check the specification for your laptop model but also data base for all hardware components of portable.

    They may be able to help you with this.
