  Already, the first problem appeared immediately after the purchase.
  After a telephone conversation with the service and install some problem driver disappeared but unfortunately it was another, computer laptop start overheating especially on games but evan on movies more make strange noise.
  I ve already used about 7 different cooling pads but none of them helped, I change the fan settings, cleaning by compressed air did not help at all.

  Is there a way I can fix this?

  Should I send it to Toshiba as it is still under warranty?

  Can you please tell us what is the first problem?
  To be honest, you should let Toshiba service to check this and give you 100% of mobile working.

  What you want to do? If the same symptoms are there even if laptop with factory settings, I think it is certainly the issue of guarantee.

• On the Satellite 5200 903 graphics card problem

  Deploy a 5200-903 Toshiba Satellite. A few days ago, I have a problem with the display. All scratches and other
  unknown elements on the screen. It's the graphics card (FX GO5600). Read about it in other forums.

  My Question: Is it an embedded chart? And what do you think, is it profitable to change the broken component?
  I mean if the graphic is on board, I have to change the motherboard together.

  Thank you very much for your answers!

  Hello

  It's look like that there is a problem with a graphics card. Can you check connection of the external monitor to the laptop?
  The graphics card is integrated into the motherboard, therefore, you need to replace the whole motherboard.

  It is quite expensive, and sometimes it is better to buy the new computer

• Satellite A500 questions (graphics Card freezes when games)

  Hi everyone hope you can help!

  I recently bought my Satellite laptop A500 and I have 2 numbers extremley bad!

  First apparently there is no my model number is PSAM3A-04100E, which turns out to be a Royal in the preverbial right pain when it comes to upgrading to windows 7!

  Second is my major problem,.
  I do a lot of games (sims 3, Callof Duty this kind of thing...) and every time I play I think that wow is the great great great fps and then FREEZE graphics! my summer completely computer hangs and stops without warning signs of lag slowing down or anything like that, and she is constantly!
  I was wondering if anyone else suffers from this problem or if I wait must search for a driver update I searched around but can't seem to find it anywhere.
  I really don't want to take it back to the shop because then I won't have a computer for weeks!

  Any help would be appreciated massively,
  Thank you very much

  Tasman

  > PSAM3A-04100E
  Where you bought your laptop? What is the country of purchase?
  New Zealand, perhaps?
  Please visit http://www.toshiba.com.au/ > New Zealand and you should find your model of laptop there but I can see the Win7 drivers are not available for the moment.

  Next week, I'll get my Satellite A500 and I'll test with Call of Duty 4 and let you know how it works.
  In any case before starting the game stop all unnecessary running process and define the plan of power at full power. Make sure also your laptop can catch its breath and cooling fans are not blocked somehow. Replace also side of your notebook computer on two CD boxes having a greater distance between the laptop and the desktop.

  I hope that everything will be working well.

• Satellite L650D - 15K - graphics card problem

  Hello

  I updated accidentally driver graphic card ATI Radeon 5650 on the laptop, and then during the games and video look, the computer became very slow, the CPU usage is average on 60%.

  I uninstalled the latest driver, reinstalled the driver of my module provided on the Toshiba site (not the one on my computer, because I can not find where it is), but the problem remains, I don't know if the driver from the Web site is the same as on my laptop. It seems that there is some driver files that cannot always be deleted entirely. If I reinstall the whole system, I install and activate the software.

  Can someone tell me what should I do now?

  Thank you.

  Have you installed the latest driver ATI support page or the Toshiba download page?

  I mean it is recommended to use the Toshiba drivers only. I can't say this but I've heard that installing the non-Toshiba drivers can change some important values in the GPU BIOS.

  Of course, you can reinstall the recovery image and begin to use the laptop with factory again.
  It will be interesting to know if everything will be like before again.

  Back up all your important data, reinstalling the OS, test it and thanks for posting comments.

• Vista cannot detect my ATI HD2600 on Satellite A210-128 graphics card

  Hallo,

  Can someone help me with this problem?

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A210-128 with vista separately on DVD, but it seems that the dvd is damaged and I can't use it any more.
  I installed on my laptop to a whole new Vista from the original DVD that I m using it on my desktop, but the problem is that vista cannot detect my hd2600 graphics card.
  So I m stuck... I tried to install the ati driver on Toshiba Update site, but I get an error because the ccc cannot detect a graphics card? /

  What to do?

  It's something special with the DVD I have Toshiba?

  Thank you very much.

  The whole is really mysterious. In my opinion, there are two options;
  Either your have used and tried to install a bad graphics driver or there is something wrong with your GPU chip.

  You are 100% you tired of a graphics driver to the right of the European driver Toshiba page?
  If Yes, then I recommend contact the ASP in your country, as this could be really a hardware problem.

  Also I found you second secondment in another thread

• Qosmio G40-10 s: graphics card problem

  Hello.

  I have a Toshiba Qosmio G40 laptop 10s with a Nvidea 8600 M GT grafixs card. I was playing a game when it locked up and pasted what I would describe as flashing red/green 'Matrixy' search screen.

  He then a blue screen and trys to reeboot.
  He tries to start windows, but once again the top matrix. If it loads to the top, it is in 16 bit color with red dots all over the screen.

  I am sure that the GPU is fried... and I was wondering what I can do? It's been 5 months out of warranty now.

  I read on some forums that there have been a lot of problems with this Nvidea card... Is there anything I can do outside my warranty period with what there is a possibly faulty card in it from the beginning.

  It will cost a lot of money to get it repaired, but its too good a laptop to let go to waste.

  Any help is very appreciated.

  Hello

  You also have these lines on an external monitor?
  If so, there seems to be a graphics card problem and it must be replaced.

  These overheating problems also occur if you use the nVidia display drivers directly. Toshiba drivers are pre-tested and don't overheat your system.

  But I think you need professional help. You should contact an authorized service provider and talk to the technicians. They will help you! :)

  You must press the button on / off LED, which is part of the multimedia buttons of Toshiba. This button must be placed in the line where the other buttons such as play, pause, volume up and down are placed.

  So the light must be turned on. Then, you can set the backlight on the keyboard to Auto.
  Then the keyboard would hit any key.
  When you use FN + (keyboard sign (Z)), keyboard backlight turns off / Alternatively

• Satellite C660 - update Intel HD graphics card problem

  Hello

  Sorry for my level of English, I'm French

  I have a problem without a solution with my Satellite C660 (for the moment, I hope!) I downloaded the software google sketchup 8, dedicated to the development of architecture, but it does not work, I still got a bug message advising that it is necessary to update the graphics card drivers (according to google support it seems that OPENGL functions must be implemented in the drivers of my laptop)

  So I downloaded the latest drivers available for the configuration I have (Intel HD graphics for pentium, 64-bit windows 7).

  the link (french site, that Intel is not currently available, it is a document of .exe)

  http://www.Touslesdrivers.com/php/Constructeurs/TELECHARGEMENT.php?v_code=37057&v_langue=FR

  I tried to update manually driver graphics card with Device Manager menu (graphics card > update drivers button > file.exe manual selection), but in the end, there is no update, I did that a very small message advising that windows has determined that the pilots are already updated.

  In fact there is no change on the drivers (always the same date of the 2010-07-28 drivers in the properties of the graphics card) and sketchup is still unemployed

  Any suggestions?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  What C660-xxx you have exactly?

  If you have an Intel graphics card, you must download the driver directly on the Intel site.
  There you should find the last version of driver

• HP ENVY 700-149 freezing several times (graphics card problem)

  Hi, I bought a HP ENVY 700-149 days ago and right out of the box it freezes several times every 10-15 minutes that it is in use.

  Indeed, it appears a little error box in the corner that says:
  "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered. NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver display driver, Version 311.41 stopped responding and has successfully recovered. »

  Sometimes this box appears several times in a row (quickly) and the computer continues to operate, but more often it pops up this message and then the computer freezes and must be stopped and restarted manually.

  In addition, it will crash occasionally to the 'blue' Windows screen with the message: "UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP" and the specific problem refers to "nvlddmkm.sys" which I googled and it has to do with the Nvidia graphics card as well.  The installed (from the factory) graphics card is a NVIDIA GeForce GT 635 with 2 GB memory DDR3 dedicated.

  I installed all the updates that are available for Windows 8 and have checked the Web of NVIDIA website for updates for the driver but nothing is available and the problem persists.

  Can I do to solve this problem?

  Hello

• Satellite X 200 - 21R - graphics card problem

  Hello

  When I start my laptop Satellite X 200 - 21R, there are three successive beep (3 x) and the screen is black.

  Apparently, it's the graphics card NVIDIA 8600GT DUAL SLI, it is defective.
  It is a montage of special graphics (SLI) card with 2 x GPU 8600 connected in parallel.

  If I disconnect the connection in parallel (unplug the two cards) and I can only connect one (to find the card that is dead)?
  It is possible and it is functional for the laptop?

  Thank you for your help

  To be honest, I can't imagine if it would be possible...
  Generally, any change of material must be accepted and supported by the BIOS and as much as I know any GPU changes would affect the BIOS as well as the features of the laptop.

  From my point of few to get the workbook, you must use exactly the same GPU chip, which was built in the laptop... but this seems to be a very expensive affair

• Satellite 4070cds, graphic card problems

  Hello, I hope someone can help, I am completely new to this and am lost. bought top machine second hand and find that the screen is not filled with the windows desktop and is also in 16 colors only, I found the toshiba site and downloaded display driver 64554415822 on my desktop, how do I load it into my CD 4070?
  I can't find the file a.exe on pilot to put away. This machine also had an internal modem, I can't find a phone jack. Many thanks in anticipation... eck.

  Hello eck,.
  It's a file driver "inf". In other words, that there is no exe file. You must go into the Device Manager to the graphics card and update the driver.

  The phone plug is on the left side near pcmica slot, there is a small room in plastic with a phone symbol. You could open it. I think that in the manual of the user, which is mentioned, too.

  I hope this helps.

• Satellite A300 - overheating graphics card

  Hello.

  My Satellite A300 got recently repaired from the Toshiba official represent in my hometown of Portugal. The problem was overheating, as usual. They understood the problem, it was dust and the radiator was malfuncion. They have changed the radiator and I paid 184,5 as a repair bill. When I got home, the problem still remained, and it seems worse.

  When I start a game, like world of warcraft, for example, the graphics card will of constant 50 degrees to 100 to like 10 seconds, and then the laptop stops.
  Someone could point me in the right direction and could they be scamming?

  I mean, I paid to solve the overheating problem, but they have not solved. Next Monday, I'll see what they had to say. Should I pay for another repair (repair minimum is 80, even if anything needs to be repaired).

  PS: Just in case where, is my graphics: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650.

  PS2: Sorry for the bad English, I'm Portuguese :)
  Thanks for reading this.

  Hello

  Theoretically it could also be a software problem if the laptop is overheating. I had the same problem because I installed display drivers not Toshiba and they had different thermal management so the laptop was overheating. I removed this display driver and installed the new Toshiba display driver and the problem was gone, because these drivers are designed and pre-tested by Toshiba.

  Otherwise I would also contact the ASP and check what they say. ;)

• Satellite Pro 6100 Graphics Card upgrade/replacement

  I have a Satellite Pro 6100 p4 - m 2.0 30 GB and the graphics card is dead. I love this laptop.

  He had a NVidia GeForce4 420 Go 16 MB card

  I can replace it with a GeForce4 420 Go 32 MB of the same model.

  Is there something more powerful on the market that works without any problem for the 6100? That is to say. GeForce4 440 Go 64 MB?

  See you soon

  Usually didn t of toshiba offers an update of the separate graphics card but he had different graphics cards installed in your computer, and, THEORETICALLY, you can use each of these cards in your machine. I can't promise it but they should all work in this machine.

  The problem is to disassemble the machine completely and if you do something wrong then you know that it is useless to come back because your machine is no longer in warranty. It would be wise to give the machine a technician to exchange the graphics card.

  Unfortunately, I can't tell you what graphics cards in your machine or which partnumbers are needed. In this case you´re on your own.

  Good luck
