Satellite L50 - B - 1 K 7 - switch graphics Intel because AMD

Hello world

I have Toshiba Satellite L50 - B - 1 K 7 (PSKTCE) model laptop.

When he has to switch from the Intel AMD graphic it turns off just without any warning. I installed the latest drivers for two graphics cards and also checked in the Device Manager for the latest versions of the drivers but the problem remains. Sometimes, for example when I turn on the Solidworks, even if it is listed in catalyst control center for high performance and must use AMD instead of Intel graphics, laptop computer still uses Intel.

When I load something in Solidworks which has need of more graphic resources (rendering...) SolidWorks crushes down with the message that AMD driver has encountered a problem, but it is resolved (on the way this laptop back on Intel graphics).

I use Win7 64 bit and switchable graphics system does not work. I have this laptop for less than a month and tried everything.

Does anyone have similar problem, or some tips how to solve?

Thanks in advance!

> I installed the latest drivers for two graphics cards
According to the specifications specifications page, this unit has been sold without preinstalled system.
Therefore, it seems that you have installed the Win 7 64 bit in your own hand.

Where did you download the drivers (Intel and ATI) graphics card?
Have you used the drivers available on the page of the Toshiba UE driver?

To switch to the external GPU you must 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 application (game, etc) that could use this graphics card settings

Now, just point to the exe file 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.

    Of course, you can install the Intel driver downloaded from Intel page.
    You must download the zip package where only files are placed in the record of the driver.
    Then you have to unpack this package, then go to Device Manager and update the driver by using the Advanced installation procedure. This will allow you to point to the folder of the Intel driver you have unpacked (desktop?)

    It does not start anymore!

  • Satellite L50-A-108 - what RAM modules are compatible?

    Hello!

    I have a C50-A-108 with processor IntelĀ® Core i5 - 3230M (3 m Cache, up to 3.20 GHz) rPGA.
    I want to add a stick of RAM, and I wonder if this specification: DDR3/L /-RS 1333/1600 for my motherboard means that I can use a RAM DDR3L.

    My laptop has already installed a DDR3 RAM (1,600 MHz), so I found a stick DDR3L 1.5V 1,600 MHz with the same timings as my system and I want to buy it. Before that, I want your opinion.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    To my knowledge, the Satellite L50-A-108 was equipped HM70 mobile Intel Express Chipset. Is this correct?

    Express chipset mobile Intel HM70 supports 2 GB modules / 4 GB / 8 GB DDR3 1333 (PC3-10600) SO-DIMM and max 16 GB of RAM

    The Intel Core i5 - 3230 M CPU processor supports DDR3/L /-RS 1333/1600 modules and the speed of the module is related to the speed of the front side bus.

    In the case where the FSB is limited to 1 333 Mhz, 1600 Mhz modules would be pointing down.

  • How to switch between Intel and ATI GPU on Satellite L50 - B

    I bought a L50 - B - 1LR PSKTAE Satellite.
    Is there a graphics card Intel on the motherboard, but also a second for better 3D AMD Radeon.
    Now, I plugged on a second screen on the HDMI output, but still using the Intel graphics card.
    How can I change this?

    I made a button in the radeon software which says that when I start the sketchup program that he would take the graphics card from AMD. But it's still the Intel graphics adapter.

  • Satellite L50 - B - 2 8 flashing screen + driver crash.

    Hi all

    When you work with my L50, sometimes the screen stops (black screen) 1 or 2 seconds and restard right after. Very like, remove power. Sometimes, I get notification that crashed the driver of the screen. The occurs when the power and the battery is almost full.

    I try to install the latest driver for support Tohiba without effects...

    Could you help me.

    Thank you very much
    Philippe

    Sometimes, I get notification that crashed the driver of the screen

    As I'm not mistaken the Satellite L50 - B - 2 8 takes care of two GPU:
    -Intel HD Graphics 5500, which is part of the Intel CPU and
    -AMD ATI Radeon R7 M260 is the external GPU.

    Now, knowing that it would be interesting to know which graphics card driver crashed.
    I mean the laptop can use either the Intel GPU or according to the settings... usually the Intel GPU ATI GPU is used if no application does not work who would need the power of the ATI graphics card... This saves the battery...

    However, its possible to switch between Intel and ATI GPU.

    Hi, I have a new laptop Toshiba Satellite L50 - B - 23 G, it works fine but when I play a game, I can see in System Monitor to the graphics card AMD works 0%, I reconfigurate, whit the Catalyst Control Center, the high performance game, but it remains at 0%.

    To be sure, I install the betchmark "Vetchmark Valley" and the graphics card always 0.
    I can see in the screen configuration that it uses the HD Graphics 5500.

    How can I fix?
    Tank you.

    Of course, the game does not use the external ATI GPU but its not working as part of internal Intel HD graphics 5500 which is part of the Intel CPU.

    You must configure the graphics settings, so the game can access the ATI GPU.

    How?

    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

  • Satellite L50-B-192 with Linux, no compatibility issues?

    Hello world

    I would buy a new PC, almostly Toshiba Satellite L50-B-192.
    In fact, I heard that a lot of people found that it is difficult to install linux, and many could she!, any body have had such an experience?
    Would you recommend buy me this model. I'll use for some applications, graphics, programming and development.
    Any advice will be highly appreciated.

    Hello

    I think that you will have a good experience in running a late version of Linux on this model. Just trying to get a 4 core...
    The biggest problem I've seen with L50 - B, it's that the maps non - Intel WLAN don't work under Linux yet.
    But your model appear to have an Intel WIFI card, so you should be fine.
    If you download and install the kernel 4.1 I think even shortcut keys can behave very well.

    Hi all

    I have a problem with my Toshiba Satellite L50 - A - 16 Q.

    I decided to update my laptop to Windows 8.1 Win8, unfortunately, it was really bad decision.
    After that my computer is very slow. It takes forever to push the power button to be ready to use browser. Even Chrome does not work correctly. Before the update, my computer was big, fast and stable.

    Is there anyone who had simillar problem? Is it possible to go back to Windows 8 without destroying my C: drive?
    Maybe I should install something more?
    All drivers or another update?

    I just install Win 8.1 update and nvidia drivers graphics.

    Hello

    To be honest, I put t understand the decision to return to Win 8.
    Win 8 contained many bugs that have been fixed with Win 8.1

    Two days ago, I upgraded my new Satellite M50 - A Win Win 8 to 8.1.
    It took some time but finally win 8.1 run on my laptop and its great!

    First of all, you must update the 8 8.1 Win win recommendation of Toshiba:

    All Toshiba drivers, utility tools must be updated!

    With regard to the starting time:
    You know the hybrid mode? Default (Win 8) did not stop you probably know other systems like Win 7 offshore. The 8 winning performed the closed hybrid that allows you to boot up the laptop faster. But this has been closed not real mode.

    Hello.

    Recently, I had several questions about my graphics card and the blue screen of death.
    Here is a link to my dump file, converted to .txt: download

    Specifications of the computer:
    Model - Toshiba Satellite L50-A013
    Processor - Intel Core i7-3630QM @ 2.40 GHz
    RAM - 8.00 GB
    64 bit
    Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 740 M (2 GB dedicated I think)

    Additional information:
    My computer did not have a problem of graphics until a few months ago. I had a different problem before that. I got a blue screen error called THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED. Rolling back my drivers fixed this problem, but after a few days, I started to experience lots of lag of frames per second (FPS) so I used the NVIDIA experience of re application - update my drivers.

    Now I get a decent FPS, but my computer like a blue screen.

  • Satellite L50 - A - 1 7 does not start

    A month or 2 ago, I had the same problem. I feel that I can go anywhere with my problem so here is my last hope.

    So first of all, there is a moment that I was using my laptop Toshiba L50 - has - 1 7 during the evening. I put on the mode 'sleep', lay on the ground and go to sleep. The next morning, I decided to use my laptop again, but it wouldn't start. The single LED light that worked was that it was the battery being fed or whatever. Done quite some research and I wanted to disconnect the battery of my laptop but I discovered that the battery is supposed to stay connected. Instead, there is a switch force or something. I just have to go in there with a needle, click and hold the button for 30 - seconds-ish and it would be identical to unload my PC or something else.

    I tried, but nothing happ-ERA and I contacted the online store where I ordered it to help. They have not really give any useful information and I was getting enough. They do not have help me to think about the problem, they just kept saying that I had to return it. I asked how long it would take and if I lose files. They said there is a chance of losing files and it would take more than 3 weeks. I can't really lose my cell phone for more than 5 days! It's quite a disaster because I need every day my laptop.

    In the morning, after that I decided to retry the stop switch to force thingy. I held the Start button and after a 10 - ish seconds there once again. All current progress was saved, and it was as if nothing had happ-ERA since then. I still had on the browsers and file op - en. Quite a miracle and a lot of luck involved. I don't like not how, but this worked so I stopped looking for answers. A day later, the same thing happ-ERA again. But this time, I just closed and ERP - ERA my laptop. This triggered somehow it of sleepmode and it worked again. So that's what I kept the past month. Some days, that I had to reboot my pc for updates but then I just clicked restart instead of shutdown down.

    Now, today I had to go and he gave me a typical firewall error when in the game so I decided to shut it down (for the first time since I had these problems). I come back home and I have the same problem again... Now I have even more scared that it won't start because it is now completely off and no "standby mode". I tried o-p-e-n-i-n-g my laptop once again, by using the switch to stop, but it did not help to get started.

    Hi Sil22

    I'm scared of m that this awakening / power on the subject indicate that there is a serious problem with the material.
    As you mentioned in your post, force to shut down the unit should help to stop/Reset of the laptop where it is hung.

    But as I understand the question, the laptop has been turned on properly and probably in this case this switch would not be very.
    I m not very good if you will be able to solve this problem without the help of additional service.
    In the worst case I recommend you contact Toshiba ASP (authorized in your country service provider) in order to check the laptop for possible hardware malfunction.
    All FSA available worldwide could be found here: http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/ASP_SUPPORT/

    But you issue:
    Even if you have already tried the force stop switch I recommend checking of workaround steps once more:
    Disconnect the power adapter and use a an object from sliding into the hole to support the force stop switch. Please hold switch 10 sec long.
    Then you must also press on and press and hold the power for 30 seconds about

    After that, connect the AC adapter and check if the power light is on.
    If it s ON, then it means that the power supply is provided correctly to the laptop.
    Now press power button again to power the unit in place.

    If it works, well, then I recommend you update the BIOS of your laptop.
    The latest version of the BIOS can be downloaded here:
    http://www.Toshiba.EU/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
    Choose the Satellite L50 PSKK6E
    Also Windows system should be updated to the latest state!

    Where workaround is not helpful, I recommend using ASP.

  • Satellite L50 - A - 1 6: "boot loop" at power on

    Hello world.

    I have a Satellite L50 - A - 1 6 (just bought). I changed the HARD drive partitions in order to better utilize the space. Then I tried to create the recovery from the preinstalled recovery partition disk (However this was not changed!), but it did not work. It was posted this message: "the recovery partition was not found.

    So I tried to restore factory settings (as explained in the guide, press '0' at the beginning upward).
    After that, my laptop computer goes into "boot loop", and it continues to go in the boot loop every time I turn it on. The boot loop here is summerized: + logo (leading to innovation) toshiba-> error message (.. .has been detected a problem... etc etc)-> black screen-> logo toshiba (leading to innovation)-> ecc. ECC. +

    The only possible operations are:
    -to power the laptop off (by turn off by pressing the key)
    -to access Bios (by pressing the F2 key)
    but later, the laptop comes back still in boot loop.

    I also tried to set up an order of boot device for the use of tools like "live recovery cd" or similar (also USB)... but nothing... He always goes in the city "boot loop".

    Any suggestion to have the correct start of my laptop?

    Thanks in advance.

    This does not surprise me. You have changed the partition table, and therefore the partitions of HARD drive will be more found.

    This does not work for the reason that I mentioned above. The disk HARD recovery isn't possible now!
