Satellite A100-784: could I use driver Nvidia on the graphics chip Intel

Hi all

I know that this particular laptop uses the graphic intel GMA 950. Why then were the nvidia drivers on my laptop as well during the installation of the OS (Vista Basic)?

I visited the Toshiba website for updated drivers up-to-date, and once again, I find drivers nvidia on the download page.

What day if I need to update the drivers graphics? Drivers Intels GMA, the nvidia drivers or both?

Thank you

Hello

You're right: this laptop uses Intel 945GM graphics card.
BUT it seems that Toshiba provides this A100 series with different graphics cards (Inel, nvidia, ati) and so the image of Vista includes 3 different drivers graphics: NVidia graphic driver, ATI and Intel graphics driver graphics driver.

But if you want to update the graphic card driver, you have to choose only the Intel driver package

    Hello

    I have this Toshiba Satellite A100-784 and it has Vista Home Basic as the operating system. The CPU is at 100% most of the time, and I don't know what to do more (I've eliminated all unnecessary programs that might have a background process). Sill, form 100% of the CPU, the core load takes 40 to 60% most of the time.
    I thought to install XP to make it work, but after reading the forum is not that simple, due to the fact that the HARD drive can be SATA.

    Can you help me with this situation? I can hardly work on this laptop and I think to change the brand if I don't find a solution to this, even Toshiba is my favorite.
    Thanks for your time answering this problem.

    Kind regards!

    All you have done is just, but you must understand that no one knows here Setup OS and what you've done in the past.
    If you are not satisfied with the way in which your laptop is now running the best thing you can do is to back up all your important data and install Vista using delivered Toshiba Recovery CD/DVDs.

    After doing this you will own preinstalled OS and everything should be OK again.

    Hello

    The Toshiba driver page offers drivers for Satellite A100 series and not for simple models like A100-784.
    Satellite A100-784 seems to be a part of the series PSAANE.
    Therefore, look for this number in the form of driver download!

  • How to check the graphics chip Radeon R5 M230 on Satellite L50D-B-11N?

    Hello!

    I just bought Satellite L50D-B-11N, with processor AMD A6 (with the graphics chip of R4) AND R5 M230 in graphics card.

    However, it is R4 'chart' that is used by default and I can't choose R5 "graphics card"!

    Yet, I can verify that this is true now by Device Manager. I discovered R4 R5 AND under "Graphics cards", both enabled.

    I tried in the bios setup, but I don't see anything on "graph CADS" and choice, anything under Windows8.1 by applications.

    The video quality is good, but I would like to make full use of the performance of the graphics card R5.
    Please, how are going us?

    Thank you.

    Greetings from France.

    Hello

    Processor AMD A6-6310 contains a graphics unit Radeon R4.
    This GPU R4 is part of the CPU.
    In addition the laptop was equipped with external graphics card AMD Radeon R5 M230 fueling more graphic. This is useful if it is to play some games or running high-performance graphics applications.

    It s recommended to use the internal GPU if you run Notepad in mode battery (battery). This saves energy and reduces the internal temperature

    To switch to the external GPU, right click on the desktop
    In Catalyst Control Center Power, click on select Maximum Performance when it is plugged

    Then in global settings of Switchable Graphics also choose maximize Performance

    Then click on the switchable graphics Application settings
    Now, you would be able to add an app (game) that could use this graphics card settings
    Simply tap the exe of the game and add to the list of applications.
    After that, you will see the exe file in the list. Click the graphics settings and set it to high performance.

  • Windows XP LAN driver needed for my Satellite A100-784

    I bought the Satellite A100-784 with Windows Vista. I removed Vista and installed Windows XP (taken from another non-Toshiba notebook)) and then SP2. Now I can't use internet because there is no LAN driver. The drivers downloaded from the Toshiba site do not work.

    Any solution for me? I expect other problems popping up soon, with the sound and so on. Is there a driver for this model with WinXP pack?

    (I would be very happy to get a drive of fast food with Windows XP in English, but customer will not provide any).

    Hello

    Your unit A100 belongs to the PSAANE series.
    Toshiba European Web site offers two versions of driver XP Intel Lan:

    1 Intel LAN driver 8.0.43.0
    2 Intel LAN driver 9.2.24

    The first 8.0.43.0 has been designed to Pro100 LAN and the other for LAN Pro1000 9.2.24

    In addition, I would recommend following the guidelines described in the installation instructions! The drivers must be installed in the correct order.

  • Satellite A100-784 - how can I make another copy of my recovery disc DVD

    Hi all

    I have the Satellite A100-784, which comes with Vista Home...
    How could I make another copy of the DVD from my recovery disc?

    Also, I don't have the Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator... is downloadable?

    Hello

    You n t have the Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator, because this Toshiba Software is preinstalled on laptops equipped with HARD drive recovery option.
    I presume that you have received a Toshiba Recovery disk this laptop doesn t allow HARD drive recovery.
    Therefore, you cannot create a new DVD of recovery using the Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator.

    What you could do is to copy the supplied recovery disk.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-784 with Windows Vista Home Basic OEM.
    I have this Toshiba system recovery DVD. If I press F8 during start up I get to the screen where are some options (repair at startup etc.) but I'm interesting in 'Exploitation Windows System Restore'.
    I have two partitions (C:, D :), the system partition is C: :)

    Hi friend

    usually the system restore the c: partition fair DVD formats, so if you have two separate partitions, the restore DVD should leave the D: partition intact.
    In your case I would choose point 6. (Operating system restore) that supposedly only restores the operating system, which means that it scratches the C: drive...

  • Satellite A100 - 784 PSAANE - screen turns off automatically

    Hi friends,

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 - 784 PSAANE with windows visa Home Basic edition.
    Now for 15-20 days I am facing a strange problem. The screen of the laptop emits a sometimes (not necessarily every time) and then when the frequency increases the display turns off automatically!
    Then I must Hibernate or he put laptop to sleep to find again the screen... Seriously, I don't understand the problem.

    Please help me.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Julie,.

    It sounds as if something is harming your graphics driver causing the display to turn off. If the problem occurs only when you use certain applications or only started after installing a new application you may need to restore your system to a restore point before new applications have been installed. As a test, you can try to start your system in safe mode and see if the problem persists.

    I also recommend that you re-install your graphics drivers to see if it improves the problem.

    Other possibilities are that your graphics chip is a failure or overheating causing this problem in which case you have to return your laptop to a Service approved for the additional diagnostic agent.

    My last thought is that you may have a problem with the inverter FL (the component that provides the lighting of your LCD screen). Check, when the screen turns off, if you can still see a residual image on the screen. If yes then the FL inverter is definitely at fault.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite A100 - 784 PSAANE: Installation of Vista Edition Home Premium processor in a box

    Hi guys, I would like to ask you a difficult question for me :)

    I have Toshiba Satellite A100 - 784 PSAANE with Windows Vista Home Basic 32-bit OEM Czech and
    DVD from Toshiba product recovery. I converted (boxed) Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 Eng as a gift
    There are. And now to the point :) - I would like to install this new Vista Home Premium instead of
    Home base OEM.

    1.) am I allowed to install Home Premium without any problem? (I'm worried the WinRE partition)

    2.) if I can't do it because of the WinRE partition, can I save this partition and remove it?

    (3.) if I do, I am able to download all the drivers from Toshiba site driver Toshiba (value
    added package for the most part)?

    4.) I am able to download all the utilities Toshiba?

    5.) if I use the product Recovery DVD in the future (with this Home Basic OEM), it will work if WinRE partition
    is deleted?

    Thank you for your response.

    Hello

    (1) you can install the new Vista easily. When installing new Vista installation program should create a new WinRE partition too. If don t be worried. But I recommend creating a backup of your important files such as mp3, photos, etc...

    (2) you can do the installation should be possible and should go smoothly. But don t forget to include the SATA drivers that are necessary to recognize the HARD drive. On the Toshiba page, you might find the Intel Storage Manager that contains the SATA driver. Include the driver during the installation procedure using the F6 key.

    (3) Yes, Vista drivers should appear on the page of the European driver Toshiba.

    (4) see point 3 ;)

    (5) the product recovery DVD will format the whole HARD drive. It will delete the partitions and all will remove the HARD drive. And it will also create the new WinRE partition. Simply said; the Toshiba Vista recovery DVDs will fix the laptop back to factory settings

  • Satellite A100-784 - Intel PRO Wireless 3945ABG off randomly

    Hello

    I have Toshiba Satellite A100-784 with Intel PRO Wireless 3945ABG wireless adapter.
    Today I was working with my friend on some project connected on his wifi sharing internet connection on Toshiba Satellite A100-510.
    After a while I lose the internet connection and I see that this blue icon is no longer in the test system.

    I try to use Toshiba ConfigFree but it was impossible to open, so I try to open the network connection of the control panel and after a period of time the network connection has been accessible and I saw that this network adapter is disabled. I try to activate three times but nothing.

    After rebooting, everything was ok and wireless adapter is turned on and ready to use for the next 10 or 15 minutes.
    First disable comes after two hours. I use Windows XP SP 2.

    The problem is that I have to restart my computer everytime where I lose internet connection (WiFi is turned off automatically).
    Everything is blocked its very hard to access the settings of network or toshiba configfree

    Thank you

    Try this:

  • Should I update Intel INF Utility on Satellite A100-784

    But I'm confused now if I have to install it when Windows Update never showed me this update possible.

    Is my laptop Toshiba A100 - 784 PSAANE and I use Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit (No OEM base Vist I got when I bought this laptop).

    Thanks for your advice.

    Hello

    Satellite A100 - 784 PSAANE works without problem?
    If Yes, then why you want to update anything?

    I have followed this recommendation; never change a running system.

    And in addition only a hint: use always the Toshiba page tools and drivers. Don t install any driver tool from 3rd party page if it of not really necessary.

    You can't compare this computer models two laptops. Now we have time to Vista and many things have changed.
