Satellite C50D - A - 13 G - question about memory GPU

Finishing bought the new laptop, TOSHIBA C50D - A - 13 G, but I have a little problem.
It says in the description
(Graphics card: AMD APU A6-5200 with graphic AMD Radeon HD 8400 card)
Graphics card memory: up to 4090 MB)
but I do not have how to allocate this memory, I tried the BIOS, but the option to allocate memory is not listed there.

Help, please

In the specification is clearly described:
> amount memory: up to 4 090 MB shared memory with 8 GB of installed system memory and up to 8 186 MB with 16 GB of memory system (with the operating system pre-installed 64-bit Windows®).
With other words: with more RAM your GPU will use more memory.
It works automatically and you can not change anything.

So if you want to have more memory GPU you need to upgrade RAM.

  • Satellite L650-11R - a few questions about this

    Hello there :-)

    I have a few questions about my new L650.

    I've never had Toshiba notebook before so I apologize if some of these "quirks" are actually quite normal on this laptop. I really want to hear the views of other users L650.

    1)
    First of all, by the time I turned it on I saw gradient thin (1-2 mm) along the right edge of the screen that goes from the bottom up. Maybe "degraded" isn't the right word, but it seems that since two or three pixels are kind of discoloration or lose brightness/sharpness to the edge along the straight bezel. It is not really that visible, looks like the colors are desaturated a bit here or brightness is a bit lacking. He can be seen everywhere (bios or no color in Windows, but better in the lighter background).
    The left side (or other) seems ok, all this along the right edge is somewhat suspicious. If one can compare? I don't know if it's something to worry about or is just supposed to be like that.

    2)
    The other thing I noticed heating of the processor (Intel i3 330M) and GPU (ATi Mobility Radeon 5650). It's pretty hot here right now (I would say that the temperature is around 28 degrees Celsius when using cell phones). He is sitting on the hard surface (table) and nothing is blocking the vents.
    However, at "rest" (surf the web & regular light stuff), average CPU temp hovers around 58 ° C. It usually goes from 45 to 62 in just a few minutes after starting, and then I can hear and see (Toshiba PC Health Monitor) evacuate the kicks in. Temp goes back to 50 +, event stops and then the temp rises to 60 + until the vent is used again.
    During load full (Prime95 or some games), CPU is going all the way up to 75 degrees (the highest being 77). Fan runs at 75 to 77% during this time, never go faster.

    GPU idling is usually around 5 degrees above temp CPU (62-65). During full load (for example. Benchmark of Far Cry 2), I see a lot of stuttering with the latest drivers Catalyst and DX10 (not sure if the stuttering has something to do with heat), otherwise it is ok (no artifacts or anything like that). Temp of GPU during the loading goes up to 74-75, fan speed is locked at 30%, the frequency of the heart 5650 is 450 MHz. left side of the laptop (vent and below) is pretty hot, while the keyboard is warm (or slightly warmer who who).

    These time seems correct and safe in the long term? I'd rather events works all the time (they aren't really very strong) and keeping time less than 50, but there are just wishful pious bios control events and I can't control not the bios. :-)

    3)
    This is just General related products. :-)
    Official specifications of Toshiba L650 say ATi 5650 (between other low range GPU), but I saw a few specifications calling for there 5730 (same model 11R). Is there really a Satellite L650 with ATi 5730 GPU models?

    Sorry for the long post, I tried to include the best possible description that I could do. :-)

    Thank you in advance.

    Thanks for the additional info!

  • Question about memory on the Satellite A100-599

    Nice day

    The reason for the question is that Rectron South Africa said that the A100-599 comes with the memory modules 2x512mb and not with 1x1Gb as indicated on the Toshiba site. Rectron advice for the purchase of 2 x 1 GB memory but not refund not 2x512mb memory, thus leaving pay you 2 x what you will actually use.

    Please just confirm the A100-599, sold in South Africa are indeed with 2x512mb or 1 GB as shown on the site.

    Thank you
    IAM

    Hello

    The A100-599 seems to be sold in European, Middle East and Africa.
    I think that the laptop came with 1 GB memory module in a slot.
    The second location of memory should be free.

    However when the 512 MB sodimm Moose is placed in one of the slots - anyone - either of the kvr etc. SODIMM work giving a total of 1.5 GB of ram.
    Please help me solve this problem.

    Also is it poss to upgrade cpu IE is nested cpu. I already upgraded a laptop cpu when thay had nested CPU, so I am aware of the problems that arise

    Can't believe that! As far as I know this laptop was shipped only with a 512MB DDR2 533 MHz (PC2-4200) 200 - PIN SODIMM module.
    Of course you can improve the memory up to 2 GB using two modules 1024Mo.

    Compatible memory that you can find here:

    > Also is it poss to upgrade cpu IE is nested cpu. I already upgraded a laptop cpu when they had nested CPU, so I am aware of the problems that arise
    Well, what say, the CPU is hit you can find easily by using a material like Everest diagnostic program. It would provide useful information on your laptop hardware.

    But to be honest, I'm very skeptical as to upgrade CPU on laptops.
    If you have already modified several processors on laptops so you know that's not very simple and more complicated as the CPU upgrade on desktop computers.

  • Satellite L20-101: Question about memory PC2-4300 and PC2-4200 of mixture

    Hello

    I have Toshiba Satellite L20-101. He took 512 MB RAM (PC2-4300). Today, I added another module of RAM but this new module is PC2-4200. Is there something wrong with that? The two modules are DDR2 and 533 MHz and 512 MB.

    Hi Pawel,

    In principle, there is no problem with the mixture of slightly different types of RAM modules, but normally the total RAM will run at the speed of the slowest module. When your notebook detects the right amount of RAM from two sticks then it don't will don't... no problem.

    Kind regards

  • Question about memory on Satellite A100 bus

  • M30-832: Questions about memory and DVD player

    Hi all, new to laptops up to have a few questions! First of all, I have a Satellite M30-832.
    1. He has on the dvd player on the side of the Compact disk with re-writable below image and sign dvd R/RW under. That means it is a DVD burner as well? It does not sem to recognize blank DVDs and I was under the impression that it should be possible to write about them!

    2. can I upgrade the memory with memory DDR - RAM modules or does take a special type? And how to change them!

    Thank you very much

    Hi Richard,

    From what I can find your M30 832 is equipped with a DVD burner so you should be able to burn DVDs (the specification says you can only burn at X 1 speed for DVDs).

    You should be able to update your RAM to a maximum of 2 GB and I recommend you buy a quality mark to avoid any problems. Your user manual should have details on how to change the RAM modules, but generally it will be to remove a panel of access (usually on the bottom of the unit) and then releasing it two clips (one on each side of the RAM modules) plastic spring-loaded and gently raising the output modules.

    Please make sure that you either wear a wristband anti-statuc dirt or this earth you yourself before accessing RAM modules. They are very sensitive to electrostatic.

    You can find suppliers of RAM suitable if you GOOGLE 'M30 832 RAM.

  • Satellite C50D - A - 13N - Windows question sleep mode 8.1 alarm

    Hello

    I hope someone who knows more about than me power management can help!

    I bought a C50D-A-13N Satellite a few days ago and it was fine.
    However, I had a problem with the mode 'sleep' a couple of times.

    The laptop goes into mode 'sleep' as expected (when the lid is closed or when I press the power button). However, when I press the power button to turn it back on, it comes to life for a few seconds - the screen is on and I can move the mouse and interact with other things - but backwards past mode after a few seconds. All I can do to make it work is to close completely by holding down the power button and restarting, I REALLY hate to do.

    The laptop is fully charged and plugged or unplugged happy.

    Everyone knows about this problem in Windows 8.1 front?

    Thank you

    NTANGOUKANI

    On my laptop, I use the same settings but when I close the laptop lid goes into sleep mode. When I opened the laptop lid starts automatically without using the power button / stop.

    The same thing happens with your laptop?

  • Satellite C50-A-571-two questions about download Toshiba drivers

    Hello all, great day... How's doin?

    I'm new to this forum, it is good to will here hoping finds the solution to every problem we face

    My first question is: why download drivers of "http://www.toshibamea.com/" is so slow and limited or something? It never ends download, I have always the connection interrupted when trying to download a driver, are there not other mirrors or something?

    Second question:

    Why are there so many useless drivers? as I put all my preferences, product type, family, model, series, and he gave me 33 pilot and some of them are not the drivers for my laptop

    I have a portable Satellite C50-A-571

    Hello and welcome

    I m not an expert but I'll try to offer my responses.

    1.
    As far as I know page of media you use is offered for the Middle East and Arica. I don't know where is the server placed but the download should not be problematic. In the past, I've used several times to check drivers and everything was OK. Perhaps there is a problem with your Internet connection.
    Toshiba support and download page is certainly not limited and can be used whenever you want.

    2.
    I ve checked the download page and found 33 results for Win7 64 bit so I assume you want to install this version of Windows.
    In any case all the stuff listed are not just pilots, but also specific tools useful to Toshiba and utilities. This tools and utilities to control some useful special features as feature special keys or the HARD disk protection.

    I recommend install you all of them and just have a total control on your machine. Of course if you don't like or don't need some of them they can be disabled or removed from the system.

    I hope that my opinion is useful for you. If you have any other questions you are welcome.

  • Satellite A660: Comment and a question about button lighting / mute

    Note:

    Hi, I'm the proud owner of a satellite A660-166 (3 days) and I installed everything from scratch on the win 7 pro because I got my laptop with a home (need pro for work) version... I met some problems, but this forum really answered my questions :) Never found such a useful for technical support forum. I wanted to express my gratitude and my support for everything you do for users :)

    Problem: well, this isn't really a problem, more a curiosity... I had a few problems with the key eco, at this time there button lighting / mute was to mute... Thank you guys, I found out what needed to be done, I reinstalled the Flash card software and everything worked properly more the lighting button / mute has been for enlightenment now. I have nothing against that, I prefer it like this, but I wonder how to change that... I found some response on the use of toshiba wireless Assistant and the illumination tab... Because my laptop is fairly new, that I do not have a tab of enlightenment, I was wondering how to change the mute button if I want to?

    Thanks, keep up the good work!

    It's nice to hear that you found answers to your questions here. Many people here trying to help.

    Back to your question: it is not easy to give a precise answer and I really put t know if you can change the settings of a single button. I think it has something to do with the registry entries, but how to change, that's another question.

    If you use this button for lighting ON / OFF, you can use FN + ESC for the mute button so you have two options that can be used with a touch or quick key combination.
    Can you please test and confirm that it works correctly?

    Hi, im using a tecra 8200, mouse keeps drifting upward left after 30 minutes? keyboard problem?
    Sometimes the screen displays changr, from very dark then normal?
    Finally I was told that I can put in a module of 512 mem alongside 256 existing will this work.
    Thanks for any reply Biffo

    Hello

    As you know on this path it is not easy to give you a good answer on all these problems. The same happen to me with my mouse, but AFAIK it's normal because the mouse must obviously be calibrated again and again.

    Daniel is right about the memory. You can use two modules with 256 MB (PC100 256 MB - PA3069U - 1 M 25). 512 MB should be max according to the specifications of this unit.

  • Questions about memory upgrade HP Pavilion 13-B080SA

    Hi all

    Recently, I bought the laptop above which came with 4 GB of memory.  I want to upgrade the memory up to 8 GB I have run a Windows VM in Linux and will require more then I have.  I was wondering if someone could please tell me how much memory slots that laptop has and what a memory, I need to get to 8 GB.

    I had a glance on the HP site and am not able to find all the information about the amount of slots on this laptop.  It would be nice to have 2 slots like that I can buy a single 4 GB chip instead of replace for a 8 GB.

    Is also the currently installed memory compatiable with the brands of spare parts, HP uses something different which will cause problems?

    Cheers in advance,

    Magnet light

    Hello

    Currently she has 4 GB in a dwelling, you can add 4 GB to another location to make 8 GB:

    2 SODIMM slots DDR3L - 1600 MHz
    Support for DDR3L-1600 MHz
    Dual channel support
    Maximum memory supported on-board 8096-MB system

    The BEST option is to buy the same brand and features of the existing to have RAM the best of both worlds: compatible and double channel. Many after market barnds may not work with your computer. THS first manual from the following link shows you the part number and how to replace RAM on your machine:
