Graphical artifacts after BIOS update

Don't know if anyone has had this problem, I started to notice after that the latest BIOS flash that taking my computer from standby or hibernation in windows GUI is completely distorted with random objects coming in and out.  It is difficult to explain or to capture, but it is only from recent whent this has started to happen.

I posted the screen assistant HP capture my hardware retailer but it does not tell you my OS, I'm running Windows 7 x 64 Home Premium.  Please refer to the image attatched to the hardware specifications.

Thank you

I actually took a different route, I rolled back the firmware entirely and given time I can determine if the firmware is the problem.  I'll let you know if this restores sanity to the whole situation.

FYI here is an example of what is called artifacts, generally in this case it's a bad omen...

  • Satellite A110-275: more a low-memory graphics card after BIOS 1.30 update

    Hello

    graphics card intel gma 945 up to 128 MB.

    Recently, I updated the bios of 1.20 to 1.30 and after reboot, I lost 64 megabytes of 'graphics card capabilities.
    After bios update, my computer is much lower. Why? How can one get 128 MB of memory on my intel gma 945?

    also s it is possible to manually change a file and configure gma 945 capacities up to 256 MB? I have a lot of ram and I could use it for games, now I can use only 8 to 64 MB.

    Concerning
    Piter

    Hello Pit

    I posted my opinion that I don't think there could be a problem in your second topic.
    As far as I know the laptop came with graphics card Intel shared memory. 8-128 MB of memory could be chosen.

    To my knowledge the Intel driver graphics card automatically controls the value of memory sheared. If need more than MB of graphics card memory so it will be assigned automatically.

    PS: In my opinion it is not possible to select 256 MB because the hardware does not support.

    ACPI defines hardware and software interfaces that allow focus on the OS configuration and power management to enumerate and configure motherboard devices.
    For example: ACPI is necessary for the standby and hibernation mode.

    Now your question; the new BIOS has been updated and configured to using VISTA.
    It seems that VISTA was not compatible with the previous version of BIOS because the ACPI interface. Now you can install Vista on the laptop, but it seems that you need a driver. Possibly new chipset driver version might help. But as you probably know, the drivers are not available at this time. Unfortunately

  • Satellite C55-A-16Z - graphics card does not work after BIOS update

    Hello

    I have a portable Satellite C55-A-16Z with windows 8 and a Nvidia geforce 740M graphics card.

    Last week he asked me to update the version of the bios at 1.30.
    The bios update was successful.

    However when I restarted my laptop I started having a BSOD dgxkrnl.sys.
    Correction of the error and restarted for an another BSOD Windows, and after the second solution, I stopped making BSOD.
    But now, I noticed its games running, if not use the dedicated card, but use the 4000 Intel.

    In the settings Nvidia dedicated card is configured to be always on.
    It seems that my card is missing, but it appears in Device Manager.
    I tried to delete, update the drivers and the default factory reset, but nothing helped.

    Also, when I go into Options power the Intel card is listed and when I disable the card intel in the Device Manager it starts to use the graphic viewer for windows.

    How can I get my Nvidia card to work again?
    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    After the BIOS update the BIOS should be set to default settings.
    You can do it in the BIOS.

    In addition, you mentioned that Windows 8 is still installed on your laptop.
    8.1 to win has already been published by Microsoft and I highly recommend that update you the system of 8 to 8.1 Win Win.

    Before you start the upgrade to 8.1 win, you should check and read the instructions step by step for Toshiba: http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/windows8_1-message/

    I guess that after the Win 8.1, nVidia graphics card upgrade works well also.

    Your comments would be greatly appreciated.

  • Satellite A500 emit after bios update 1.50

    Hey guys and girls,

    I have some problems after the update of the bios. Before the update my laptop has been the scene of much smoother and everything was fine and dandy until Tempro told me to update my bios. The problem is that after the update, the temperature seems to be considerably higher as usual when I play the game (I am a gamer) and also all the games I play seems to be much slower than before (lower, gal frame rate). Before the update I could play Dragon Age Origins with 1366 x 768 with 4 x anti-aliasing and the only one that I could get the same performance with the graphic parameter above is on 800 x 600. Now, it is certainly a big problem for someone who is a graphics junkie when it comes to games.

    * What do you think I should do? *

    A. downgrade my bios for when I bought everything first? (I don't know what version of bios is if anyone knows the stock bios?)
    B. perform HARD drive recovery?
    C. clean install of Windows 7 64-bit?

    My laptop computer spec:

    Model name: Satellite A500
    Part number: PSAR3E-00N005EN
    Serial number: X9206227K
    OS version: Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium edition
    BIOS version: 1.50
    Physical memory: 4096MB RAM
    Graphics card: NVIDIA Geforce GT 230 M

    Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

    Hi mate

    I think you had a version of BIOS 1.30
    In older versions of the BIOS update are not available on the Toshiba driver download page. Only ASP (partner) has access to these early BIOS versions

    Hello, Lukas

    Unfortunately there no public document on this subject, but if you see other topics, you will see the latest version fix some graphics issues and it is confirmed that the latest version fix this with success.

    I put t know why your last update of the BIOS has been without success, but when you do the BIOS update please remember there is no external device connected, and is very important to do with AC power only and not with power supply battery. Before you start with the update BIOS please Info how to do this.

  • Switchable Graphics and ATI Graphics Driver disappear (BIOS update)

    Then the other day, that HP has insisted on the behaviour of one of its annoying BIOS updates on my Pavilion dv7.

    Before the update, I was able switchable graphics and could pass the ATI Mobility Radeon 4250 something the 5650 (I'm sure I have these numbers). in any case, now, a few days after the update (which I believe I installed on 19 January), I noticed that my switchable graphics options have disappeared, as well as my option driver ATI Mobility Radeon 5650... large. So now games graphics look significantly bad and slow because I can't spend to the best driver. Thanks, HP.

    So, the question is how to get back my switchable graphics and other driver? I was looking around and found some - related posts that can be useful for people who seek to answer this question, but aren't really help me:

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/display-and-video/lost-switchable-graphics/TD-p/389783

    and

    http://Forum.NotebookReview.com/Lenovo-IBM/392522-how-regain-switchable-graphics-W500.html

    If you answer this, please try to keep it in easy English and avoid a lot of abbreviations, I won't understand. Just consider me like a fool when it comes to installing and uninstalling the drivers and try to make simple instructions. Thank you very much!

    Hey man, idk if you are still working on it, but I have the solution.  Basically, HP has two updates for each laptop model; one for laptops with integrated graphics card only and another for laptops with switchable graphics.  Unfortunately, the driver for laptop with integrated graphics card only has been the default driver in this update.  Instead of trying to reinstall the older driver, just install the new correct driver.  To do this, follow these steps:

    1. go on http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/support.html

    2. the website can automatically detect what dv7 you have.  Just click on the button "start detection".  It will ask you to download something, but its ok.  Do it.  Then just click on 'continue' and let it detect your system.

    3. There should be a screen that has 'Detected list of products' on him.  Under where it is said that your model is, there must be a link that says "software and driver downloads".  Until it clicks.

    4. in the next screen, you will need to choose your operating system.  Select it and click "next".

    5. a list appears with all the drivers for different systems.  Expand the category that says 'pilot -"graphic  There will be several drivers (one being that shitty laptop with integrated graphics card only and another for great laptops with switchable graphics).  Read the descriptions of each and it is made for laptops with switchable graphics.  Download the right one.

    Once download you, you will need to restart your laptop.  When it starts up, it will be like new.

  • Satellite Pro P200-15W: after Bios Update 1.90 incredibly noisy fan

    Hi, I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro P200-15W, I recently made an update to BIOS version 1.9 and seems to have been a big mistake.
    After restarting the computer, I had a lot of software deconfig and the fan has become incredibly noisy.

    I have the problem with the Toshiba Vista registration software, I get this message: "registration of Vista has stopped working". I read other discussions, I don't want to just disable it in the start.ini file, I would actually solve the problem if there is a way.

    Is there a way to change the configuration of fans? I read a post from Toshiba on another model of laptop that has had the same problem of noisy fans after an update of the BIOS, they gave that a solution with a new version of the BIOS, is there a way to reverse the BIOS to the previous version? (recovery CD will be useful for this purpose)?

    See you soon

    Edgard

    Hello

    It seems that the picture of the fan was changed and renewed in the new version of BIOS, and so fans run fall.
    Why the table fan has been changed?

    Well, usually something like this is necessary to improve the reduction of the internal temperature while the CPU and GPU are running with maximum performance.
    This helps to prevent the equipment from damage!

    Usually, the recovery CD formats the whole HARD drive (partitions too) and installs only the image of Toshiba on the notebooks of HARD drive.
    The image contains the OS, drivers and additional software and has nothing to do with the BIOS update.
    But you can try to recover the laptop to see if you can solve the problems of software as "Vista record"!

    If you want to reverse the BIOS, you will need to contact the ASP in your country!

    Sorry, but all I can suggest.

    Best regards

  • Portege M800 no boot after BIOS update

  • Satellite L750 - Bluetooth does not work after BIOS update

    I am preparing some L750 notebooks for use and accept updates from the Toshiba, which included an upgrade of BIOS v1.70 for v2.00. He appears after this update occurs that Bluetooth no longer works, i.e. try to install Bluetooth Toshiba stack will fail as it is said that the Bluetooth radio is disabled and must be turned on for continue.

    As the L750 (model PSK1WA-0C300R) is not a hardware switch to enable or disable the Bluetooth/Wi-Fi, the only option available (Fn + F8) is unsuccessful. I ran a recovery of factory default installation and Bluetooth still does not - resumption of classes does not restore the BIOS to the previous version. I have 5 of the model and confirmed the update of the BIOS is the cause. Two laptops now have v2.00 and Bluetooth has been tested in the work before the update of the BIOS.

    If Bluetooth is not critical for the environment which I deploy these notebooks, it's an annoyance I want to solve. My questions are: has anyone encounter the same problem and managed to resolve it? Is there a BIOS v1.70 available for download to restore the functionality? Y at - it an update of the BIOS > V2.00 for solve the problem I have? Thank you.

    Hi JasonL750,

    Load default settings after updating the BIOS? Go into the BIOS, press the F9 key to load the default settings of the installation. Also, make sure that Bluetooth is enabled in the BIOS if there is such an option.

    In addition, it would be interesting to know what happens if you use the FN + F8 key combination. Don't you see that he has an option to turn on Bluetooth and if so what happens if you do this?

  • Satellite C650 - black screen after BIOS update

    My Satellite C650 Windows 7 - won't start afte BIOS update / switch.

    Everything worked very well until the automatic update of Toshiba asked me to download and install the new BIOS update, I did. At the same session Windows and McAfee asked updated. I agreed to all. After all updates have been installed, turns off. The next day when I walk, I see only black screen. I also tried F2, F12 and drive recovery. Nothing happens!

    Any recommendation?

    Hey,.

    It seems that something was wrong during the update of the BIOS and so that you can t the computer unbootable. But I put t understand why you did the BIOS update. If everything works correctly, you can forget about this update. More if you do a BIOS update you shouldn't t run any other updates or programs that might affect the update of the BIOS.

    Anyway, in this case you can do nothing and you need professional help. Please contact an authorized service provider and guys can help you update the ROM module On the Web from Toshiba site, you can find a list of all the FSA:

    Hello

    Normally, it should be possible access the BIOS, if you press F2, once you have turned on the laptop. Please check again and load the default settings there.
    And you cannot access the BIOS if you shut down the computer.

    You can use an external mouse on the laptop? Please check this too.

    I have satelite M100 PSMAAA-02006 with XP. I just updated the Bios on V3.0. Speakers do not work after update but the audio jack works so with headphones I can listen to but not through Laptop speakers and the keys to media on top of keyboard play, pause, stop, next, back, etc. homepage react too much.

    Someone knows the solution to this issue. Or is it possible to get the old BIOS? Although I not sure aboutt previous version.

    need quick help. Please answer as soon as possible.

    Thanks & best regards...

    Hi Julie,.

    I doubt that this was due the update of the BIOS. Is that what you have loaded default settings after updating the BIOS?
    Have you chosen the correct BIOS update?

    Normally you can hear the sound on the speakers laptop if you disconnect the headset. Make sure that the sound is not muted, you can do this with the FN + ESC key combination.

    About the multimedia keys, I would recommend reinstallation of Toshiba common Modules. You can find it on the Toshiba site.
