Graphics - Satellite A100-313 card problem stops itself

I have a satellite A100-313 and I use vista.
Every time when I'm playing games, the laptop turns off after a while. It varies, normally have 10-20 minutes of play.
And when I immediately turn on again, I get a black screen, but the computer is running. I have to wait a bit to get back to the screen to work.
So, he goes to the top and goes to 1024 x 764 resolution (the native resolution is 1280).

I guess it's a problem of graphics card (I have a Geforce Go 7600). I have already updated to the latest vista drivers available on the Toshiba site (the September).

What can I do to fix this? Automatic shutdown normally only happens when I play games.
Any help is appreciated.

HM, delicate sounds.
I suggest the following:

Download the latest bios for your machine on the toshiba download site:
http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp

And finally and most importantly, check if your cooling system of your machine is not clobbed with dust. You can clean it with a can with compressed air to remove dust from the fan and the heatpipe fin.

If you have any questions, just ask.

Have a nice weekend

  • Difficult to find drivers for Satellite A100-313

    Hello

    It is my first post since I have Toshiba Satellite A100-313 (PSAA9E) yesterday. It had windows media in German language edition. Because I can't understand German I installed WinXP pro SP2. With laptop I have toshiba recovery cd but it does help (with drivers). So, I was watching web and find the drivers for the chipset on page version intel 8.1. I installed it but most of the components work (without wire, sound, bluetooh, and card VGA.) I can't find the right drivers. I have GeForce7600, but when I try to install the nvidia driver it says: program the NVIDIA Setup program could not find all the drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. So I went on this page:

    NES http://eu.Computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=eu&mode=allMachi & action = search & teddProduct = 624

    Well, there is no drivers nvidia, so please please help me.

    Hello Baptist

    I assume that A100-313 is a low number of series peaces and probably only with card NVIDIA graphics. I imagine that this download page is not yet updated. Try to check this page from time to time.

    By the way: when your device comes preinstalled with recovery image, there is an option to create own Tools & Utilities CD with all the drivers you need for other facilities.
    I presume that you didn t it. Am I wrong?

    But unfortunately, I didn't find useful reference numbers, but don t worry PAL advocate you the ASP in your country and could ask the compatible motherboard.

  • Satellite A100-599 card to nVidia 8 series extensible GFX?

    Hello

    Is the last Satellite A100 - 599 extensible GFX NVIDIA 8 series card?
    If not, what could be done for my laptop, if I need to upgrade?

    Thanks :)

    Hello

    No, this is not possible.
    Laptop technology is different from the technology of desktop PC and therefore updates such as CPU or GPU are not easy or not possible.

    Especially the GPU (graphics chip) is soldered on the motherboard and the branch as a whole must be replaced if the chip of damages for example.

    If you n t want to miss the graphic performance, either you are going to buy a new laptop (desktop PC) with a stronger graphics card or you will switch to an external graphics card.
    But in my opinion this is no logic to use an external graphics card.

  • Satellite A100-003 - card PRO/100 ethernet only work at 10 Mbit/s/s

    Hello!

    Several days back, something is passed to the network card * Intel(r) PRO/100 VE Network Connection * and now inaccessible in some State of work.
    Networking possible only in mode: 10 s/Mbps (Half Duplex) and 10 Mbit/s/s (Full Duplex).

    While in mode + 100 Mbit/s / s (Half Duplex), 100 Mbps / s (Full Duplex), Auto Negotiate + - completely the connection errors. The Test of the cable passes. Checked with another computer - all the work ordered. So, is obtained, card problem... Reinstall the drivers and updated connections tried, drivers (OS Vista Home Premium).

    Is it possible to do something?

    First question:
    Do you use the preinstalled Toshiba OS image?

    Second question;
    How did you test the network adapter and the speed? Did you use utilities and programs making authorities?

    The A100-003 belongs to the PSAAR series. Please note that the page of the Toshiba driver does not provide a special LAN Vista driver. Seems that the Lan card uses the own driver that was included in the Vista operating system.

    I would recommend to access the properties of the LAN card driver.
    This can be done in the Device Manager. There you can check if the options in the Advanced tab has been updated with the correct settings. For example, the option called optimum performance must be on Enable.

  • Satellite A100-201 touchpad problems

    I searched through the forums and many people have had problems with the touchpad, but nobody seems to have quite the same problem, as I have! If this has been asked to answer also my apologies, but I can't!

    I have a Satellite A100-201 with a 'Tablet' (as described by the technique of the Toshiba product - no mention if it comes to Synaptics or Alps, or anything else, is not that it would mean anything for me anyway. It is certainly NOT a dual pad that turns on with the blue buttons, etc.)

    Have had the laptop for over a year, and I got it all the time I have a problem where 'sometimes' function on the touchpad scroll bar doesn't work, all on his own. Sometimes I turn on the computer and it works fine, sometimes not. The same goes for the service where you tap the top right of the button and the narrowings of the active window (don't know what this is called). There seems to be no reason for this, I find the scrolling feature really useful. The rest of the touchpad functions works very well.

    I don't know if it's to do with drivers as I am not computer-oriented (I can use one for day to day stuff, but that's all) or upgrades of windows as no one else mentioned on another thread.

    If anyone has any idea how I can:

    (a) turn back ON the scrolling feature and

    (b) set it so it is permanently under voltage I would be really grateful!

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    do you have challenged yourself with synaptics/Alps touchpad Control Center / (whateveryourtouchpadsmanufactureris) and checked the settings?

    As far as I know are these touchpads really complicated when you use them, but * more * usable after setting the key to touch about the sensitivity options, etc...
    You can configure almost the entire touchpad area to adapt to your needs...

    Please, check the settings and make sure that your keyboard is configured correctly.

  • SD - Satellite A100 memory card compatibility

    Hello

    I wonder if anyone can help. I have a satellite a100-163, which according to the manual should read 2 GB sd cards. When I put one in the slot, he begins the wizzard found new hardware & said while these data are incorrect. 1 GB cards work fine.

    According to the card SD 2 GB notebook specification must be supported. Do you use high quality products or perhaps some anonymous cheap SD card? Please check if the card is locked.

  • Satellite A100-192 overheats and stops automatically

    My 9 month a100-192 * is overheating. specifically my cpu (processor intel centrino duo).
    In normal operation (runing nothing too 'heavy', only for things like Opera, foobar, thunderbird and others) the temperature is around the 50-60 degrees celsius * and that it itself is too.

    Really warm and not so comfortable to work, what makes the left side of the keyboard. The temperature is still higher than when running something demending. Do not have meassued that the temperature, but I persume it is really, really high.

    After aprox. one hour of play "company of heroes" the computer closed like a messure of security due to the large heat (it happened more than once).
    I do not think that the fans are blocked with dust, because from what I see they have clean air. Also I don't think it's the hard drive (it's temperature is about 40 degrees celsius).

    Maybe it's my ati radeon x 1600, but I doubt that, as the temperature is very high, even if not matter what either graphically demanding (victory of base xp environment).

    What could be the problem?

    * processor intel centrino duo @ 2 GHz, 1, 5 GB, ati mobility radeon x 1600 with 256 MB, 100 GB hard drive
    * Jieme temperature CPU with CPUCooL

    Hello

    > In normal operation (nothing too 'heavy', running only things like Opera, foobar, thunderbird and others) the temperature is around the 50-60 degrees celsius * and that it itself is too.
    Unfortunately, I'm not agree with you. The level of 50-60 degree temperature is not too high. My laptop also reaches this level if I m only to connect to the internet.

    May I ask how do you use the laptop?
    The laptop must be placed on the table or desk and you should have enough free space around the laptop for cool air circulation.
    The cooling grids must be free!
    Check if fans can turn with a maximum return.
    Dust and debris inside of the laptop stops especially cooling modules run properly.

    What graphic do you use?
    Have you used one from the manufacturing of the graphics card? This driver does not support a protection from overheating!
    Therefore, you must use the drivers of Toshiba's own graphics card!

    Currently the computer work outdoors wireless but no one knows how to solve the problem of network card.

    Hello!

    What laptop Satellite you have exactly?

    The laptop recognises a LAN cable, if you plug in? The network connection is enabled in Windows?

    Try to update the driver LAN and the BIOS. The two you can find on the Toshiba site:

  • Satellite A100-803 - motherboard problem

    Hello

    I bought a laptop Toshiba A100-803, two years ago and now I can't turn on the PC.
    We check the laptop and the problem is on the motherboard.

    Anyone know who is motherboardĀ“s ID? Thank you

    Hello

    The motherboard is Toshiba.
    You must use motherboards manufactured for Satellite/Satellite Pro/Equium A100.

    So you can use google to get a new motherboard, or you can request an ASP for help.
    You can order the partner service authorized in your country but new mobo mobo costs a small fortune.

  • Satellite A100-405 has problems when working on sector

    Hi everyone (sorry for my bad English)

    When the laptop is charging or just work on sector it slows down (he sews to doesn't work does not correctly), but the biggest problem is when I play (a simple game that does not have the best perfomances like Midtown Madness 2) or a recent game like NFS carbon it does not start the game, it stops and I need to restart or when I'm looking for a movie (especialy with windows media player) It slows down or stops the game

    When I use it on the battery, it will not disappear or happen less often.

    At first, I thought it was a software problem, but I tried all bios, chipset, video card, recovery of product update and other system (xp pro,...) it did not help

    I don't think it's the battery because I deleted and tried to work on the area, the problem was still there

    I do not have an idea more so someone might help (and sorry again for my English bad hoop you understood what I wrote)

    my configuration:

    Centrino duo t2050 1.6 GHz
    1024 MB of RAM memory
    NVIDIA geForce go 7600 256 MB

    Hello

    so if you really tried everything then it would be wise to bring your machine to a local certified partner for a checkup of material.

    I suggest you follow this link:

    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/generic_content.jsp?service=EU&ID=ASP_SUPPORT

    You can search the center of service available in your country and send them to your machine. They're going to take a look, you may have some serious hardware problems.
