• Re: Portege M200 - CPU runs only at 600 MHz

  Hello

  I bought a Dothan M755 2 GHZ processor for my M200. I installed the CPU with no problems, but now I have a: this CPU only runs at 600 MHZ. It seems to me that it works on the power saving mode, but I have the tablet on power supply.

  I tried an option in the bios to health, but there is nothing. My version is (seen in the top right corner in the bios): "ACPI BIOS Version 1.80"

  My OS is Windows 7 Prof

  Y at - it a possibility (update of the BIOS? etc.) to fix?

  Thanks for your support!

  Hey,.

  That s the speed step function and the kicks in the multiplier 5 x to save energy.

  Check the BIOS if you can find the setting on the speed step and turn it off. If you do not have such an option in the BIOS choose another plan and the value 100% minimum processor state. It will always run at 2.0 GHz.

• Satellite L20-101: I think as 667 Mhz module runs only with 266 Mhz

  Hello

  I bought 2 x 1024Mo DDR2-RAM for my L20-101.
  First I tried 533 MHz, but the laptop does not work with them, so I bought the
  Version of 667 MHz.
  CPU - Z says that the FSB:DRAM - ratio is 1:2 If the two are in fact run with just 266 MHz.

  I've updated the BIOS with the latest version of the Toshiba-home page, but nothing has changed.

  So finally, my questions:
  1 perhaps CPU - Z is false (I don't think so...), are there any other good programms to check the parameters of memory?

  2. If the values in the program are correct: where can I change the value of the report? Is it possible to see more than a few settings in the BIOS or is it a rider?

  Thanks for your help

  Hello

  First of all it is important to mention that the Satellite L20-101 supports a FSB of 533 MHz.
  So the DDR2 400/533 256 MB (PA3389U - 1 M 25) and DDR2 400/533 memory modules 512 MB (PA3412U - 1 M 51) should work and are 100% compatible!

  If you use the module of 667 Mhz, it runs only at 533 Mhz due to the limitation of the front side bus.

  In addition, I think you have misunderstood something.
  Here are the modules DD2 and so the CPU - Z recognizes the speed of the modules as 266 MHz (2 x 266 = 532 Mhz)
  If everything seems to be ok!

  PS; You can also use the other tool called Everest home edition. It s a freeware and very useful to run a diagnosis system and equipment

• Satellite A50 1.6 Ghz cpu only working 598 Mhz

  I have a friends satellite A50 here, he said, that it was slow!
  XP reports the cpu @ 598 Mhz, reports of Everest this multiplier @ 6 X 100 Mhz.
  Please could someone explain how I can get this laptop speed?
  I found other people with the same problem but can't seem to find a solution... :(
  Any help would be appreciated :)

  Hello

  May I ask if something has been replaced on this laptop? Motherboard, CPU, or other devices?
  I found some people here in the forum who reported a similar problem.
  In all cases, the motherboard or the CPU were replaced and the technician was forget to update the firmware of law and therefore the CPU couldn't run faster!

  In this case the ASP must be contacted for the new update

• Satellite M30: 1.8 Ghz CPU stuck at 598 MHz

  Hello

  My CPU is stuck at 598 MHz. I think it has been like this since I bought it 2 years ago. I am in Australia at the moment and very rude support could not help.

  I did a search in google and got a few answers, but nothing helped. I tried to change the management settings power, BIOS settings, BIOS upgrade, etc.. Nothing! The CPU runs at a max of 598 Mhz

  Any ideas. I heard that there is a utility that could solve this problem, but toshiba has taken off the Web site for any reason

  Andrew

  No, no update of the utility or the BIOS update will help.
  It seems that the firmware must be updated on this laptop.

  For the most part this microcode update is necessary after the replacement of the motherboard.
  I think that there is without a lot of do you contact the service partner in your country for the microcode update

• Portege M100 just run half the speed - 600 Mhz

  Hello
  I have a Portege M100 that I found very slow until I discovered it was running half speed (IE 600 mhz). I tried everything in the Bios and in Toshiba utility, but nothing to do: always clocked at 600 Mhz.

  Is there something I missed? y at - it 'special' something to do to allow him to run at full speed?

  I thank the of in advance to anyone who helps!

  Hello

  As already suggested that the firmware must be updated! This portable strange behavior happens especially if the technician forgot to update this laptop runs only at 600 MHz.

• Tecra M2 PTM20E - 598 Mhz processor speed

  Hello
  I have no model tecra M2. PTM20E-4MP1N-GR.
  One of the problems was appear:
  Speed of the processor is clocked at 1.6 GHz, but when I check in the Windows system properties, the speed is 598 Mhz, and the system is very slow.
  How to change on the rise?

  Tab CPU are not displayed in SWsetup.
  It is also not possible to change the standard configuration after reboot.

  Help, please. :)

  Best regards
  DarJan

  Hmm. very strange

  Did you change the motherboard or you did a hardware upgrade?

  As far as I know, such behavior can occurs after replacing the CPU or the motherboard.
  After the replacement of the microcode must be written again.
  If the technician forgets the microcode update then the CPU goes only to ~ 600 Mhz.

  I'd appreciate feedback.

• Portege M200 - set at 598 MHz

  I have a Portege M200. The report processor it's 1800 MHz, but seems to be fixed clocked at 600 MHz. The program HWSetup installed (version 4.03) doesn't have a tab CPU even if the documentation indicates that it should. Downloaded HWSetup 4.2 but it brings a 401 error when I run the installation program. I would get the processor runs at full speed - can someone help me understand how to do this?

  Hello David

  Can you tell us more about your Portege? Is this unit second hand or maybe exchanged motherboard?

• Portege M100 with PM 1, 2 processors, but the only race on 598 MHz

  Please help, I have 10 pcs M100 and 7 of them have no setting in the Bios to "Dynamic CPU frequency setting" (all the CPU speed, still weak, still strong, dynamic). The laptop which do not have this setting to always operate at 598 MHz I have already check with Sisoft Sandra and in windows system properties. Properties always show that computers laptops Pentium-M 1, 2 GHz 598 MHz. no different between running with the mains or battery adapter.

  Other one with dynamic CPU frequency setting, can dynamically adjust processor clock. They can function normally to 1200 MHz.

  Hello

  The dynamic mode of the CPU frequency is available in Toshiba HWSetup.
  There you can switch between mode dynamically switchable, still high and low fashion.

• Portege M200 BIOS update running Windows 7?

  Hello

  I recently took a Portege M200 and installed (via PXE - network installation) Windows 7 above. I want to upgrade the BIOS as is always in the original BIOS (1.1). I downloaded and extracted the pkg and tried to install through Windows but it says that my OS is not supported. I don't have an external CD drive or floppy drive - how do I update the BIOS? I tried to put it on a USB key, but it doesn't seem to be an option to boot from USB.

  Thank you!
  Jerry

  > I downloaded and extracted the pkg and tried to install through Windows but it says that my OS is not supported. I don't have an external CD drive or floppy drive - how do I update the BIOS?

  Seems that BIOS cannot be updated because Win 7 is not officially supported on this good old classic.
  However, AFAIK the VAP (value added package) is required to run an update of the BIOS. So, try to install the VAP. Choose this tool which is available for other models of laptops.

• Standby power problems M30-344 (CPU uses only 600 MHz)

  Hello!
  In my m30 344 motherboard and display are changed.
  Now I can't use the full 1.5 ghz cpu!
  In the power saver profile I can choose only the cpu rate of 1-3! I've now uninstalled this tool and reinstalled the version by the net. But I can use only 600 mhz!
  What can I do?

  [Edited by: admin 7 May 05 08:18]

  Hello

  As far as I know if the motherboard is changed the speed of the CPU will be around 600 MHz and in this case the service partner needs to update the CPU microcode. After that, the speed of the processor will be as before.

  I hope that you have already solved your problem with the speed of the processor.

• Portege M200 - Can the chart updated from 32 to 64 MB and CPU?

  Hello

  I have a laptop Portege M200 with a centrino 1.5 Ghz in - because of the modelrange, I know that there M200 with 1.8 centrino cpu is so I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade my M200 1.8 GHz with a change in cpu?

  The other question I have is that there are portable computers M200 with an interface to 64 MB but mine has a 32 MB. Is it possible that I can change the graphicchip upgrade to 64 MB?

  Thanks for your help!

  Hello

  I have bad news for you.
  The two pieces of cell as the GPU (graphics card) and the CPU (processor) cannot be upgraded. These parts are not interchangeable!
  The layout of the motherboard specifications differ just as a motherboard for desktop PC

• Tecra M2 shows 598 mhz max when testing with speedstepping

  Hi all, I have a Tecra M2 I bought from a friend.

  The only thing I have a problem with is the speed of the CPU (Pentium M). He says it's 1800 mhz but shows only 598 mhz max when testing with speedstepping. I looked all over for an answer, usually being updated BIOS (I) change the settings in power options to "always you" (I) still none of these options work, I told him to check in the BIOS to see if speedstepping is activated and I don't see an option.

  I know that the laptop remains at 600 mhz for economy of energy etc., but it goes ever higher when stressing with many applications etc.. Please help I am tearing my hair out trying to fix it. PS while typing that I checked the application of speedstepping and he says that the CPU is clocked at 144 mhz!

  Thanks Simon

  Hello

  If the processor remains on 598 Mhz and does not run faster then, I suppose that an updated firmware not the ASP technician
  In cases like replacement motherboard firmware must be updated
  If this will not happen then the CPU only runs at ~ 600 Mhz.

  Update the firmware ONLY by ASP I think you need to call the guys for the manipulation of the Fryer!

• 598 mhz problem (598 mhz must 1.5 ghz)

  Dear members
  I received my toshiba m30 laptop to the service tech and noticed that it only works on speed 598 mhz instead of 1.5 ghz!

  I did some research and find that it is a kind of problem of mobile microcode (firmware) intel. the CPU info table has to update or something. I'm still waiting for a solution.

  Note: I will not send my laptop once again for any technical service cause it will arraive within 30 days.

  Hello

  I have bad news for you. It seems that you have new main Board and this Service Toshiba partner forgot to update the CPU microcode.

  Call them again and they have to do.

• Portege M200 - bought on Ebay and frustration comes

  Hello

  I m new here and I want to ask for a warm welcome. I purchased a M200 on Ebay and he received two days before. The M200 hasn t had a DVD player and I have no recovery CD or software for my Toshiba. I have a Toshiba external slimline PCMIA CD-ROM, but more of him later.

  I found a lot of information based on this topic, but really nothing has worked for me, that article why I ask my questions here. So far, I'll tell you what I tried...

  I bought VISTA Home Premium and want to install on my M200.

  On my M200 FreeDOS short.

  I tried:

  1. use my USB drive as a floppy using a HP tool that simulates a USB drive as a disc of floppy (FDD). I ve a copy all the contents of the Vista DVD for my USB. Then I ran the BIOS on the M200, select FDD as first boot option, but nothing happens, it still start FreeDOS.

  What I'm doing wrong, Boot USB (diskette) works on the M200?

  2. as there is an external Toshiba CD Player included in my M200, I thought the first installation of a Windows XP disk. In the first period the player seems to not work, but after some time, it worked and I put my Windows XP on it. He loaded the disc, and the typical blue screen for the start-up of the plant came. But after a few seconds he stopped and said "could not read the data xxxxxx.xx, error 7. I tried two more times and same error appeared, only that it was another file that could not be read, and another error number.

  I read and I don't know if it's true:

  I have red somewhere that I can only install Windows XP which was used on the recovery CD from Toshiba (that the CD was not included in my M200). So I can't use for OS install the recovery CD and any other normal XP CD?

  Or is there an error with my external CD drive? Currently, it doesn't work again...

  3.

  I have red the following link to install Vista on M200 by a PXE server:

  http://flimflan.com/blog/InstallingVistaOnYourToshibaM200.aspx

  and this one

  http://home.allegiance.TV/~joem298/

  The first link says I can go point 13 of the second link:

  Umbrella and that's what bothers me. They tell me. Turn on your Toshiba M200 and press F2 to select the network. I press F2, but nothing happens, I see the Toshiba logo but nothing happens... If I press on enter, then come back to FreeDOS...

  Also on the second link, I tried to start from the point 1. But in point 5, the word:

  Unzip the contents of "BFD package full v1.0.7.zip" in a temporary directory. Open a command prompt and navigate to the temporary folder. Run the command "bfd msnet" in order to create the startup disk.

  I don't have a floppy drive. They tell me to run bfd.msnet from the command. Cmd.exe command is? If Yes, what should I type in to get bfd.msnet run?
  ---------------

  I knew that installation would be very difficult and I kindly ask for personal assistance. If you can speak German, it would be nice to answer in German.

  Up to now

  As you can see in this thread, you can install Vista on the Portege m200 and it works fine:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=73510𑼦

  The point is you need a PCMCIA compatible CD/DVD drive to boot from the Vista DVD.
