P100-240: Driver Toshiba GPU is old, Nvidia driver does not allow fan?

Hello

I was wondering if Toshiba could explain their choice here.

My laptop recently got sent for repair because he himself burned because of me using my p100-240 (pspa3e) Nvidias own drivers.

The problem here is that:

(a) Toshibas drivers for this card are over a year old and sometimes buggy in new games
(b) Toshiba does not seem to have followed the specifications of Nvidia (that or there is a problem with ACPI in the bios...)

so, to use the portable computers Nvidia drivers fan don't hit, sending the temperature systems up to 106cand finally to turn it off. He turned his back, but then, basic graphic acceleration did not work.

SO, can we get an updated driver version? OR some kind of fan control app? or you can update your bios to allow nvidias drivers to operate?

I feel that I can't use my laptop to his function at the moment - I came back to the installation of a driver of pc non-ACPI to force fans to stay on which works well but the basic system then functions like disable do not work.

I have also been informed that this design flaw could be considered that the system is "not fit for purpose" slot in which case I could simply return the laptop under the sale of goods Act.

But really, I would just get my system working properly. It's bad enough not being able to run Linux on it, but even worse that windows does not work with it with official drivers.

One more question: can I get the old BIOS? several fixes to work with them but not with bios 4.0 (mainly linux fixed but as long it works OS that I don't like!)

Tips on it are also welcome! Thanks for your help. :-)

Hello

> I was wondering if Toshiba could explain their choice here.
If you want to hear something Toshiba you need to communicate with them. This forum is only a user to user forum and unfortunately you will not find anyone from Toshiba here.

But maybe you want to hear my opinion;

> My laptop recently got sent for repair because he himself burned because of me using my p100-240 (pspa3e) Nvidias own drivers.
(> a) Toshibas drivers for this card are over a year old and sometimes buggy in new games
Well, a lot of portable Toshiba are distributed and equipped graphics cards. Maybe look in other series of laptops that are delivered with the same card for a newer driver from the GPU.
But, you are right, and the graphics drivers from Toshiba are generally a bit older than the original of the GPU manufacturer.
Why? First the nVidia or ATI original drivers are not designed for the use of the laptop. Here are the drivers for desktop PC graphics cards. I visited the region for mobile drivers and found information that I watch on laptop manufacturer's site! That says it all!

(> b) Toshiba does not seem to have followed the specifications of Nvidia (that or there is a problem with ACPI in the bios...)
As mentioned above the original GPU drivers are not designed for the use of the laptop.
Why? Because the laptop GPU can not be cooled as graphics cards for desktop PC!
The own drivers from Toshiba support thermal protection that allows to avoid damage GPU!

The original nVidia or ATI drivers do not support this overheating protection!
If you want to use these drivers, you can do this ONLY at your own risk!

> Can I get the old BIOS?
It seems that Toshiba page provides only the most recent BIOS. Maybe the registered maintainer can help you and you could send an older version of BIOS.
Two years ago, I contacted the ASP in my country and got a first version of my BIOS for the A50

    Hi - I wonder if anyone can tell me why the Toshiba 1 TB 3.5 "external hard drive I recently bought does not allow me to backup large video files from my PC.
    The files are located in the region of 5 to 10 GB and when I try to save these I get the message that they are too big for the destination.

  • Pavilion 14-n204sf: Radeon 8670 current driver does not allow for color management

    Hi, this is my first post on the forum. The problem, I do face is quite simple: after I've updated 8670 M Radeon driver for my computer in August I immediately found that color management system was not working. Cannot use an ICC profile, impossible to calibrate a monitor (I tried X-Rite and the built-in Windows, both failed tool), any feature dealing with color management had simply disappeared from my machine and was replaced by an error message - aaargh!

    At the time I found that all the problems have disappeared as soon as I rolled back the Radeon driver to the previous (IE. July 2015) pilot and learned how Windows 10 not not trying the upgrade of this driver more. Of course, the problem was caused by a major bug in the new driver, but a simple tunraround should just continue to use the previous driver. So far so good.

    But now things have only become worse. Due to a problem with a software, I tried to find the current driver Radeon, which turned out to be the dreaded August version, with the result the same mess as before. When I tried to roll back this driver again for the July version working, I had the very bad surprise as (1) "Roll back driver" in the control panel is gray now as if there was no previous version, and (2) it is not possible to find the version of June on the website of HP - or elsewhere also.

    So: How/where can I get the driver of 8670 M Radeon dated July 6, 2015, so I can use my computer for my work in photography again? I can't believe that it is not possible.

    And of course, I have a second question: how is it that no new version of the driver has been released since August to set a such obvious flaw? I hope that someone will take the time to solve the problem and deliver a pilot fully working soon.

    Thank you very much in advance for your help.

    HI @jlb21,

    Thank you for your inquiry.

    I understand that when you install the graphics driver updated for Radeon 8670 M in August you have lost your color management system did not work.  Once you cancelled the driver in the device manage everything was good again.

    Because of a software problem, you must reinstall this driver. When you checked the Device Manager there is only the version of the driver available August and you do not have a roll back driver option.

    You can try to uninstall the driver and then search for the driver, try a Windows driver if available to determine if it would help.

    As you have 10 Windows installed I don't know if you still have the recovery partition. If not and you have recovery media, you can try following the steps described in the following document.

    Computers HP - using Recovery Manager to restore the software and drivers (Windows 8)

    If the driver in question was provided with your original operating system and you have no support for recovery, you can get a kit of HP support recovery.    You can ask if they can check if all drivers have been updated on the recovery kit that I don't know.  I don't know if they can verify this information, but it does not hurt to ask?

    Please contact HP to Contact HP Supportassistance.

  • Satellite P200 accidents + message: graphic card driver does not work properly

    Hello

    hope that this issue has not been covered before, but I've owned a Satellite P200 for 3 years now, and this week, it crashes all the time.

    When it started going down he gave me a few messages in the sense of "your graphics card/driver does not work properly and windows will be arrested to avoid damage.

    It has progressed to the point where now when I turn it on, I have vertical lines running down the screen and the screen flashes on and outside. Within 20 seconds, it restores the BSOD - 'there was a problem and windows will be arrested. Error Page_Fault_In_Non_Paged_Area"then stops.

    I ran a system restore but the problem remains.

    I have a feeling that my graphics card is toast. Is this good? Are there any other options to try? Thanks in advance for any answers.

    Matt

    Hello

    Sounds like the GPU problem.
    But try the graphics card driver update.
    Use the most recent driver for your graphics card.

    In addition, clean the fans of portable computers.
    Dust and debris could prevent the cooling fans to turn with the best speed and this could lead to a higher temperature which would lead to overheating.
    Use a jet of compressed air. I also use it and it helps to get rid of dust and debris.

    If this is not enough, then a problem of graphics chip would be possible.

  • External Combo CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive does not work with USB 1.1

    Hello world

    I have a problem with the PA3352E - 2 CD 2 CD-RW/DVD COMBO USB 2.0. A colleague is owner of this car and use it on a NB DellC610 with Windows XP on it. The problem is that the drive does not work with this type of nb (with a NB from Fujitsu-Siemens newest there no problems); There is always an error message about "surge." I think it has to do with the USB 1.1 because the player seems to be built for USB2.0. Is it possible to use this drive correctly with usb1.1 (ok, the flow is low, but more important is it works in general)? Unfortunately his nb will not work with USB 2.0...

    Thank you very much in advance.
