Jerking on Satellite M30X 3D graphics

I used the M30X for about a month now. With most 3D games that I run, the graphics become jerky after less than a minute of play, i.e. one or two times per second, the picture stops for about 1/5th of a second. My video card drivers are up to date.

Hello
What is DirectX? What service Pack in the current race?

Good bye

  • Update the driver for graphics card for Satellite M30x

    I need to update the video card driver in my Satellite M30X (ATI mobility Radeon 9600/9700). Where can I find the latest version?

    On the toshiba support page, there is only an older version (dic.2004). I already tried to install a feeding at ATI.com but failed (suddenly stops and says that my system does not support this driver). I really need this update...

    Please help me

    Hello

    The driver from the ATI site will not help you. It is generally not possible to install the original graphic drivers from sites of s card on Toshiba laptops manufacturer.
    The Toshiba own graphics drivers are a bit modified and not the same as the original ATI drivers.

    However, the Web omegadrivers.net site provides drivers for ATI and NVidia chips and to my knowledge, it should be possible to install these drivers on your laptop.

  • Satellite M30x-165: OpenGL in the graphics driver is old

    Hello

    I have a Satellite M30x-165.
    I downloaded and installed the latest drivers from the page Web of Toshiba.

    When I check the version of the OpenGl driver it says that the version is 1.5.4454. Recently, I heard that this version is very old and may cause some problems with certain programs.

    The computer does not install the downloaded driver directly from ATI Web page.

    How can I update the version of OpenGL?

    Thank you well in advance.

    Hello

    The M30X isn't the new laptop series and therefore the graphic driver seems to be not updated to the latest state
    Graphics drivers that are released in the Toshiba page are designed especially for Toshiba laptops and there is a big difference between the Toshiba and the drivers of the ATI page. So it's not easy to install the ATI drivers on laptops OS.

    But there is one thing; first of all, you can unzip the package and then you could try to update the driver through Device Manager. Here, you point to the folder decompressed driver to update the graphics driver.

    This allows you to install non-Toshiba divers would help the Toshiba notebook.

    But note; These drivers are not certified for the use of the laptop and so you can ONLY use and YOUR OWN RISK.

  • Satellite M30x-143 - ATI Catalyst 7.9 cannot be installed

    Hi Rudinho

    If you visit the download page for manufacturers of graphics cards, you can find instructions, for mobile computing, drivers are provided by the manufacturers of portable. Unfortunately the graphics drivers cannot be updated so often than on desktop computers.

    The reason for this is simply. With the new graphic card driver will be forced to run on the limit and the result is high temperature. High temperature can be responsible for suddenly shut down or even damage the hardware. Because of this laptop manufacturers should treat with great care. Can you imagine what will happen if Toshiba offers the driver and the result is damage of graphics card?

    Satellite M30x is old enough for laptop and I do not think that the driver will be updated. The same situation is for my old Satellite P20.

  • Satellite M30X starting problems

    Hello!

    My Satellite M30X doesn't start normally more. When I press the power button, it turns on, the fan starts, but nothing happens. Or sometimes it takes almost 5 minutes before then the Toshiba logo appears, it begins in place.

    After that, I sometimes get a message that the Smart HD feature has detected a failure in my HD. But not all the time.

    I have Linux and Win XP on my hard drive. When I use Win XP, it starts normally, then after a few minutes, I get the BOD with message IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. Or sometimes, the system just hangs. If I boot mode safe, everyting works fine.

    On Linux, the system freezes after 30 minutes of use.

    I'm tempted to think that I just need to reformat my HD (I have a 100gig HD of Fujitsu), and everything will be fine. I have to try again. And also once again, on Win XP Safe Mode, everything works very well - I can't even use WLAN, and I am writing this same post! But if it's just a software or an OS problem, why not not my laptop start normally? I mean, why is that sometimes it does not start at all (the Toshiba logo does not appear), and I have to turn off my phone and turn it back on so that it works. Sometimes it is not boot at all, no matter how many times I try it turn on and off. The power on light comes on, fan will start, then fan turns off, light is always turned on and nothing happens. Or it could be caused by a faulty hard drive? Is that why it sometimes does not start at all? But if it is the HD, why is there not a problem in Mode safe?

    It is so weird coz it wasn't a problem before, and he appeared out of the blue.

    Any help will be appreciated! Thank you in advance!

    Hello

    To me, this looks like a hardware problem. I think it works in safe mode because other such graphics card device drivers are not loaded.
    As I know the IRQL error also occurs if the blue screen of death appears on the screen. I think that it us something wrong with the graphics card or the memory modules.
    I think you should ask the AEP from Toshiba for help.

  • Need feedback about 20 "widescreen on Satellite M30X

    Hello community,
    I want to buy a new monitor after the crash of my old 17 "LCD (I've already worked with double screen).
    So I am interested in the 20 "screen, as the Belinea 10 20 35W. But I don't know if my laptop supports its resolution (1680 x 1050).
    My laptop is a Satellite M30X with ATI mobility radeon 9700 128 MB graphics card.
    Fact the double screen is available: 1680 x 1050 (Belinea) + 1280 x 800 (laptop)?
    Do you have any comment on that?

    Thank you
    Olivier of France
    (Sorry for my English vague)

    Hello Olivier

    You will be very happy if someone has tested it. Why you n t test it in the store before you buy the big screen? Take your laptop with you, plug it into the store and test it properly.

    If you buy it without testing you can return it within 14 days if you are not satisfied.

  • Type of keyboard on Satellite M30X-130

    I need to change this keyboard---> COMPAL P/N PK13CW10180 - Darfon P/N 99.N5682.30E - MODEL NSK-T430E - K000016100 WK442K - ITALIAN LANGUAGE
    but on the internet, the models I found that they have these characteristics---> MODEL MP-03436I0-698 - P/N PK13CW10280 - K000016100 WKA16K - ITALIAN LANGUAGE

    The only difference I've seen looking at the photos is the dish that connects the keyboard to the motherboard.
    My doubt is about the feature and if they are hardware compatible.

    Can someone help me in this choice?

    Thanks a lot for all

    Michele

    Satellite M30X is old enough laptop model, so I think that you should have no big problems to get the new keyboard. I had similar problem on my old Satellite M70 and I bought the new keyboard on eBay.

    At this time keyboards were quite similar and a keyboard could be used on some models of laptops. eBay is the right place to find different hardware parts for old models of laptops and keyboards.
    Unfortunately I can't help you with this keyboard control, so if you find the specification that says that it is compatible with M30X you can buy it.

    Don't spend a lot of money for it. as I've written before on eBay you can find keyboards for reasonable price.

  • How to connect a device to capture video for Satellite M30X 127

    I'm going round in circles trying to find a video capture device that will work with a laptop computer and would be grateful for advice. For example, I am now looking to the ' Canopus ADVC-110', although still looking autour (but not Pinnacle, which seem to have a bad reputation for the elements of capture).

    Problems include:

    1. the main problem is - many video capture devices require a "line-in" for PC for audio transfer of good quality. This laptop is not a line in, only headphones and mike catches. In addition, I also tried a few RCA pins into the 3.5 mm headset jack, and they were too small. How to solve the problem of getting audio from the VCR to my PC?

    2. the ADVC-110 connects to the PC via Firewire (and S-video), but is a type of SIX pins. M30X is a FOUR pin type. There are adapters available?

    3. Some capture programs seem to require a huge capacity of RAM. A laptop will be adapted to do the job? (I just want to capture old VCR to PC vhs tapes, and then burn it to DVD with Nero 7 or similar).

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    You are right! You must use an external device for the transmission of signals to your laptop. I put t know where you have this info but I have good experiences with Pinnacle product. I used the USB data transfer.

    "Canopus ADVC-110 is not known to me, but I put t see why this shouldn't work well." Use made software for video capture and there should not be any problem.

    The only thing is that, after registration of video equipment together must be prepared to burn and the unit need a lot of power to do this well und fast. When you buy it and to use on the way I recommend to extend the RAM to 1 GB.

    Compatible memory modules for your Satellite M30x are:
    PC2700 512 MB (PA3312U - 1 M 51)
    1024MO PC2700 (PA3313U-1M1G)

  • Satellite M30x not recognizing not all USB ports

    My Satellite M30x has recently ceased to recognize all USB devices are connected that he, being a huge super biff computer I can only assume all my USB ports are totally exhausted.

    If anyone has any other theories id be more than happy to hear... Thanks :)

    Hello

    Something similar happened on my laptop. The laptop has stopped to recognize the external device (USB HDD). Someone told me that it happened because I used the safely remove. Usually, if you want to for example disconnect the USB HDD or USB key, you must use the remove before disconnecting the device from the laptop.
    I just deleted all ports USB device and Manager after restarting the laptop operating system recognized all the USB ports again. Further, I have connected my external HARD drive, and it worked!

    I put t know which external USB devices you use, but sometimes the machines cannot be allowed because the ports USB don t provide enough power.
    In this case, you can disable the mode without power failure in the USB hub properties in Device Manager.

    Good luck

  • Satellite M30X: Trojan horse - total Formate with recovery disc?

    Hello

    I had a Trojan horse on my Satellite M30X. My Antivirus deleted, but every time I've been connected to the Internet, it appeared again. Not connected to the Internet it doesn't give me any problems. As I couldn't get rid of him, I backed up all my data and do a fresh install from the recovery disc. As long as the button for LAN wireless is disabled, everything works fine, but just a little while, after I turned on it, I get a blue screen. When I restart my computer with WIFI turned on, it produces a blue screen before Windows is properly loaded, even during installation. I tried restoring 3 times, but it's always the same result.

    1 is it possible, that the Trojan horse destroyed things of the pre installation?
    2. I can't choose to make a formatting during the recovery process. All data are lost, but I feel that's not formate the hard drive correctly, when everything is destroyed. It crushes just stuff?
    3. is there a way to make a good formatting, then install completely new Windows?

    It is not a problem of my WLAN card, internet being no problem under Linux.

    Thank you for your help

    Hello!

    If you use the whole HARD disk Toshiba Recovery disk will be formatted so if you have any virus or Trojans on your laptop, they will be also deleted.

    But what BSOD code are you have? Are you sure that's the reason why the virus?
    You have the same problem if you connect a network cable to the laptop?

  • Satellite M30X: battery load stop

    Hello
    I have a satellite M30X laptop. It is two years old and the battery stopped charging but it works very well through the AC adapter.
    I bought a new battery, but it doesn't charge either.

    Can anyone throw any light on this for me please?
    The orange light is lit to indicate that he is in charge, but neither batteries receive the load for some reason any.

    Thank you

    I put t think that it s a connection issue because as you say in your ad the laptop works well with the main power supply.
    I guess there could be a malfunction of the card maybe something wrong with the electronics
