Missing BIOS settings Satellite C660

Hey everybody,

I use my Satellite C660 Notebook for some productions of music and I try to get my extern Interface Audio Presonus working. Everything is fine so far except some occasional crackling sounds in the audio interface. After correction of some things in Windows 7 which have been recommended by tech support PreSonus these noises were still there.
Tech support then gave me the following advice:

+ "There is some power options that can be changed in your BIOS that can be the cause of the noise you are experiencing. +

+ CPU settings section - Intel SpeedStep is set to normal. +
+ CPU - Turbo in normal not turbo mode settings section. +
+ Settings section CPU (if any) - CPU operation Mode will be 3 settings, Normal, fast, Extreme (?). Set it to 'Normal ' +.

+ Power Settings:-C1E Support +.
+ Power Settings:-C3E Support (if it is there).

+ Save the BIOS and reboot. +

+ Generally overclocking the processor as the iSeries can cause the CPU power to fluctuate causing problems with noise on audio devices, is a new discovery and we write a FAQ which will be available on our knowledge base may have a detailed description on the reasons why this happens on overclocking CPU. +

"+ Make sure that the overclocking settings have been set to normal. +

* For the first time I entered the BIOS to see that neither of these settings can be made on this Toshiba Satellite c660.*

Or can they be somehow still made? Are there tools, programs,...?

I hope someone can help me with this. Thank you.

Hello

If the parameters are not available in the BIOS, you will not be able to change or appear in the BIOS.

Phoenix BIOS would be used by different manufacturers, but the BIOS is always modified by manufacturer and configured for each series of laptop.
This is why the special parameters are not always available in every BIOS.

I read in the forum of presonus on crackling using processors dual core.
A guy could solve this by using a different USB port.

Then maybe you should test all available USB ports.

Another option might be the use external USB hub connected outside power source now quite sure if it would help to get rid of these noises but its worth a test.

Last but not least you could test this with adapter connected and disconnected

  • Satellite C660 - missing utility, BIOS not in default

    Bought a Satellite C660-22v on ebay that seems to work fine, except that none of the Tosh utilities are present.

    I was going to reload the operating system and downloaded the manual that say I have set the default BIOS. The former owner put the password on it and told me that it is. Is that what I want to know, can I do the restore of the system without resetting the BIOS, or how to get the utilities of Tosh?

    To be honest I don t understand what do you mean with these missing utilities. Is this laptop comes with preinstalled original Win7 home premium. If you have the recovery disc reinstall OS and start using the laptop with the settings that includes all Toshiba tools and utilities. If you want to install some of them more you can download them from http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    In General, you can do the system restore without changing the BIOS settings, but now when you want to use the laptop the other person I think the best is to remove the BIOS password, BIOS value by default, reinstall OS and start using the laptop with the factory settings. Later, you can configure for laptop and change the settings.

  • Satellite C660 - 18 c HDD missing from BIOS

    I have a strange problem with a Satellite C660 - 18 c and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.

    This is the laptop from a friend who had crashed earlier. He seems to have tried to reinstall an operating system, although not using is not the recovery media, that he never did when the laptop was new. He has failed to do this, he asked me to take a look.

    The hard drive is still the original Toshiba drive came with the laptop, even if it has been removed and replaced. This allows to do some basic tests on the hard drive, which showed no errors.

    If you start the laptop from a USB key with a Windows 7 Pro installation image, you go as far as to choose a partition to install Windows on to. It shows 'Disk 0 unallocated space 232.9 GB'

    However, he pointed out that "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu. »

    I looked in the Bios and I see no trace of the hard drive. For example, if you look under 'Boot', this list shows only, CD/DVD, floppy, LAN and USB drive.

    It seems to make no difference if SATA is set to "AHCI" or "compatibility."

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Thank you

    Work generally good disk HARD must be listed in the BIOS (BIOS first page).
    You should see the name of the HARD disk and the size.

    If the first page of the BIOS provides no details on the HARD drive, then the HARD drive was not recognized by the BIOS, and in most cases, this means that the HARD drive is faulty.

    If you are sure 100% that this disc HARD isn't faulty (for example, it works in relation to another laptop), a HARD disk controller malfunction could cause the problem

    But I guess it's s a HARD drive problem

  • How to enter the settings of the BIOS or get missing WXP on Satellite 1400 file?

    My Windows XP is broken. I can't start even in safe mode. This is no problem for me. Now, I try to start the computer with the Win XP disc, but the computer does not start from cdrom/dvd drive.

    Big problem is that I can't access BIOS to change the boot sequence. How can I get the BIOS settings, or how to make the file in Windows XP Home edition which is absent in the computer?

    HI Mikael,

    The normal access route to the BIOS boot sequence is superior touches the PF12 during the initial sequence power until the boot sequence is displayed.

    You can also force the portable computer to boot from the CD by pressing the 'C' tuplet during the March.

    Kind regards

  • BOOTMGR missing Satellite C660

    Hi people,

    I have the Satellite C660
    Initially, I had a virus and tried to reinstall windows, but not good.
    When it came to the point of saying there was not enough space on the windows installation disc,
    I realized that I had forgotten the bit score.

    Now when I try to start it again, it's a black screen that says... BOOTMGR... Manager of... is absent.
    When I try to start again, I get the same point on not enough space on the disk
    so im going round in circles and not getting any case,

    I think to make a new hard drive, but no one knows how to fix this before I have to buy a new drive... has soon

    Missing Boot Manager is an error message that is displayed if the laptop can not find and start the common system.
    Therefore, find the reason why the system cannot be found.
    I think that its HARD drive problem. The system partition or HARD drive is probably faulty.

    In my opinion, you should access the BIOS and check if the HARD drive is listed on the first page of the BIOS.
    In case it does not appear in the first page of the BIOS, the HDD isn't recognized and, therefore, I think that it must replace it before you try to reinstall the system.

    Thank you and I hope you can help me...

    Hello

    The version of the BIOS should be mentioned in the BIOS settings.
    Turn on the device, press F2 and verify the version here.

    Also I recommend the settings of the BIOS back to default settings.
    In the BIOS settings, you will need to press F9 to get the default value. Then save the changes and exit the BIOS.
    Restart the machine and check how many processes are running in the context of the BONE.

    I recommend disabling of certain non-essential processes in msconfig.
    There, you can go to the Startup tab and could uncheck the unnecessary process.

  • Satellite C660 - no Internet connection after updating BIOS

    I am a novice user and have a Satellite C660 under warranty that I don't use for surfing the net and Ebay so I hope I can explain my problem!

    Toshiba bulletin board said that the need to update BIOS, so I followed the instructions but since then I have no internet connection, and cannot restore the connection that I lost all help Toshiba Bulletin Board today lost and none of the programs to sort the problems work - e.g.set assistants etc. I did not yet create rescue disks, but if I try to create them now I'll be able to restore to factory settings?

    Can someone tell me if it's a failure caused by the BIOS update or I would return laptop to John Lewis for repair? Thank you very much for reading this

    Hey Buddy,

    The default settings in the BIOS load after update? If this is not the case, go into the BIOS and load the default settings. You can enter the BIOS if you press F2 before Windows start and then press the F9 key to load defaults. Then save & exit the BIOS Setup.

    You can access the Internet now?
    You try to access the Internet with LAN or WLAN connection?

    Also check device manager if all devices are recognized correctly.

    > I did not yet create rescue disks, but if I try to create them now I'll be able to restore to factory settings?
    You can create the Toshiba Recovery disk every time. Just launch the pre-installed Toshiba Recovery Media Creator and follow the instructions on the screen. You need just a few blank DVDs to create the discs. Disks contain a factory image of settings which can be restored each time and how many times you want to so with these disks, you are on the safe side ;)
