Satellite M40X - BSOD caused by ATI2DVAG. Win XP SP3 DLL

Hello

I have a laptop Tosiba Satellite M40X.

When the ATI display driver is installed, there is a blue screen caused by a loop of infitive caused by the ATI2DVAG. DLL with the OEM Version of Windows XP, the machine is working no more.

When a full Windows XP is installed, it is possible to delete all the ATI * hard disk. Then, with a resolution of 1024 * 768, the machine works properly without any problem.

Once the ATI driver is installed again, the problems reappear. It does not help to download the latest driver from the TOSHIBA Web site. I already have new loades drivers on the net through special but even with that it was not possible to solve the problem.

It seems to me that the machine works best with the new driver. It was possible to perform the verification of the material (software provided by Toshiba) with no problem, when the new pilot (pilot program) was installed without any problems.

I could check the Device Manager when the machine was not working properly. There, I saw that there is an interference between the PCI bridge card driver and the ATI driver.

I am woandering why the problems start (when the ATI driver is installed) just after the start of the machine, even before or while you can see TOSIHBA for the first time. There is no difference if you unplug the machine power and the battery before. This is why I believe that there is a problem that persists when the computer is without energy (BIOS).

I have already updated to the latest drivers and the latest version of the BIOS (from Toshilba)

The TOSHIBA support asked me to bring my laptop to test the equipment. But, in my opinion, there is no material damage. The problem is Toshiba and / or ATI.

Where are the latest drivers?

Why is it possible to get the version 8 driver ATI by RADAR SYNC when Version 6 is available on the TOSHIBA site at the same time?
Toshiba does not provide the latest drivers and wants to bring in the laptop for a verification of the material. This service is very good.
I always wanted to buy a new TOSHIBA but with this kind of service...

Does anyone have a similar problem or solution for this?

Greetings

Markus

I have a question;

The M40X is a older laptop and I assume that this issue didn't appear in the past.
If the laptop has worked with the graphics driver preinstalled, old.
This means that it is NOT a graphics driver issue but it must relate to another reason.

> I wonder why the problems start (when the ATI driver is installed) just after the start of the machine, even before or while you can see TOSIHBA for the first time.
This would mean that this problem occurs because the graphics driver has been loaded and the map graphic with a maximum return.
And it also means that it is NOT a graphics driver issue but also question of graphics chip.

I agree with the TOSHIBA support. The said, you should contact the technician for the control of the laptop.
I recommend the same because as described above this doesn t sound like a software problem!

    Hello

    The BSOD can be caused by the problem of hardware and software problem.
    In your case it seems s due to software problem. Maybe a few compatibility problems between certain parts of the software

    First you need to check if you are using the version of Win XP BIOS Yes this laptop needs a Win XP BIOS, which could be found on the European driver Toshiba page.

    I m also interesting when the BSOD appears you installed Win XP successfully or it was not possible to install the XP because the BSOD?

    If you were not able to install Win XP then I guess you don't have included SATA drivers participating in the crib on Intel Matrix Storage.

  • Problem starting on Satellite M40X-250

    For some time, I'm having a problem with an old laptop, the Toshiba Satellite M40X-250.

    When I try to boot this laptop, the headlights turn on, I can hear the hard drive and fan from, also I can hear (if I have one there) station cd read cd/dvd.

    But nothing else happens, the screen remains black and there is no way I can make it work.

    I quite know something on the desktop, so I disassembled the laptop completely and just cleaned and after I reassembled it again, but that had no effect, I can not even boot up the laptop.

    There is however another strange thing, it is very rare, but sometimes I get to start, but at some random point (very quickly, because I can't actually use the laptop) it is for me a BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death) with an error code, I think it was 0x000000EA. In any case, this meant a driver problem with the graphics card. It gave me an error ATIDVAG.

    But most of the time I'm still not able to start.

    Now, it's a very old laptop and I have tried everything,.
    I tried to start without battery (disconnected) and only the power, without result.
    I tried to start only with the battery, no results.
    I tried to unplug the power supply and the battery, then press the power button / stop for 60 seconds, no results.
    I tried several rescue cd, a linux installation cd, windows installation cd, it resulted in nothing.
    [EDIT] I have also connected to the laptop to an external monitor, but that did not work, no results.

    I'm really lost now, I have tried everything I know, and I've never met a problem like this.
    Maybe it's just the fact that material became old and it is better to give up, but I would really like to know if there is someone who can help me and maybe give me some ideas on what I can do.

    I am very familiar with the inside of this laptop and I know what to do. I don't want to not call me an expert, maybe it is a little off, but I know my way around.
    so, if anyone has a solution, let me know.

    Regards and thanks in advance.

    In my opinion, it seems that the problem of graphics card.
    Black screen means that the display is faulty or chip chart.

    But if the internal screen would malfunction, then you should still be able to use the external monitor, but I guess that's not possible, therefore, I think that his GPU problem

  • Satellite M40X - 250 LAN card does not work

    Hello

    I have a portable Satellite M40X-250. For 3 days I couldn't connect to my router. LAN card is Realtek RTL8139/810 x Family Fast Ethernet NIC I also installed Linux OS and he did. I use Win XP Pro.
    -J' have also installed new driver for the network card.
    -The firewall is disabled

    Can someone help me...

    Hi Erguder

    First of all, you must enter the Device Manager and check if there is a yellow exclamation point.
    If not, then I guess that the LAN driver has been installed successfully and that there must be another reason the failure of LAN.

    Please then check the properties of LAN. In the? General? tab you will find installed protocols. Please choose the TCP/IP Protocol and click Properties.
    All parameters (IP, DNS, getway, etc.) must be set on automatically.

    The other possibility is that there is something wrong with the router. Try to reset the router and check the settings.

  • Re: Erratic behavior on Satellite M40X

    Hello

    Very often but not always, when I start the laptop (Satellite M40X - 186 Windows XP SP3), after a while, the Windows Media Player popup window. I got close but it reappears etc... also very often, there's erratic behavior: the keyboard is unusable or the letter etc. which appears on the screen is not bound to the key... or the cursor moves in an irrational way.
    I scanned all the files from virus (Avast tool) I reinstalled XP, updated the ATI driver... but this does not appear to have solved the problem.

    No idea what is the cause of this failure?

  • Touchpad is frozen or not work - Satellite M40X

    Hello everyone,

    Hello

    Have you installed a 3rd mouse driver or all 3rd applications that could have a negative influence on the touchpad?
    This problem occurs with the new OS recovered? In my opinion, you should first check if the corrupted software is a bad influence. If after this procedure, the touchpad freezes and doesn t work properly, so it could be a hardware failure. In this case, you will need to bring the laptop to the service.

  • Satellite M40X-189 - replace HARD disk - what size should I go to?

    Hi, I have a SATELLITE M40X-189, I would like to replace the hard drive and would like if possible some recommendations!
    I know I need an ide/pata and I currently have a hard disk of 40 GB hitachi 5400 rpm installed. The memory is just what came installed originally, (512 MB, no upgrade).

    So what size I can up to?
    I have a lot of music/photos and video to change so must also size decent 80 GB would be enough?
    I really don't use it for anything other than that, and also the navigation on the internet. Although I often have a few programs running at the same time which causes problems... freeze, (in particular I tunes) and generally slow running.

    I'm confident on the physical replacement, and I know how to clone my old drive hard etc, but just need some info about the size and speed and if possible
    a recommendation of the manufacturer. Just worried about incompatibility really issues.

    Also, if you think I should install more memory, which size and make and model may recommend.

    Thank you in advance!

    The old ide controllers are limited to 128 GB with 28-bit LBA
    However, you can take an 80 GB or 120 GB HARD drive and it should work fine

    There are display settings important to do to be able to use the Wlan.
    First you must activate the Wlan: generally it takes the switch Wlan on POSITION (LED should be bright) and you must activate the Wlan using the Fn + F8 key combination.

  • Satellite M40X-112: malfunction of the keyboard after you emptied a cup of tea

    Good evening to everyone.

    My girlfriend has emptied her cup of tea on his portable Satellite M40x-112.

    Now everything works except the keys R, F, V, Fn.

    Does anyone have experience with such a problem? The laptop is still not out of warranty.
    So, I don't want to open it to clean the keys by behind.

    So any advice or tips or something else (with the exception of the stupid remarks) would be useful.

    Thank you...

    Fischhaendler

    HEY Bela,

    If you're lucky then spilt tea will only have caused a short-circuit in the keyboard itself and won't not flowed through to the motherboard. In this case, it would be possible to clean the keyboard or have it replaced by an authorized Service partner (to maintain the guarantee).

    Unfortunately, you will not be between the ab and do you much because it will be dismantled and that would invalidate the warranty.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite M40X 185 linux live cd, noise and temperature

    Hello

    I just bought a satellite M40X-185. I flashed the bios with success of 1.30 to 1.60. Windows XP home (preinstalled) works perfectly. I found three questions:
    1. when I try to boot from a cd live linux (suse 9.3 dvd, knoppix 3.9 or mandrake move) the system hangs. Any idea of this behavior? With knoppix, it seems to hang while loading driver cardmgr. So I thought it was a problem with the linux cardbus but ultimately suse live driver dvd 9.3 has succedded in load correctly if I disable acpi (command-line ACPI = off). TR is the problem related to M40X material and/or bios version or is it related to linux (the kernel version maybe?). Thank you

    2. it seems to me that coolig system is much more noisy when I use the toshiba power management. If I use win XP default portable power management mode, the computer is much quieter!

    3. is there a way to measure temperatures of system (CPU, MB, GPU, etc...). Previously I have hade a satellite A50 and speedfan (www.almico.com) was able to measure all these parameters.

    Thank you

    Hi Sid

    I'll try to answer best I can.

    (1) maybe the system BIOS is not really what the Linux kernel expects and so stops. Please see the Linux very good page of Toshiba:
    http://newsletter.toshiba-tro.de
    Maybe you will find some tips on Highway M40 Linux ACPI.

    (2) time MS Toshiba power management and power management is supported by the profiles of school boards. Means that you can set according to your need, how the machine should act. In the Toshiba power management, you have many more opportunities than in the version of Ms. In the Toshiba module, you can choose to have machines operating in performance mode which means that it will give priority to the performance (which normally means of cooling by fan) instead of throttling of the CPU in order to limit heat production.
    You can also do the opposite - give priority to silence (fan less and less speed) for the performance.
    Of course there are some other settings as well (screen, disk HARD times sleep and so on).
    I mean, is that the module from Toshiba is probably set up for performance, which means that you get the fan noise. If you like you can set minimum performance and so less noise. It has its advantage the Toshiba module - it is far better to control of the small parameters and levels of breakdown and time. So, you are in more control of your system.
    Sorry for the long lesson - I'm the same at home and he is not popular :)

    (3) sorry - no answer here except that I don't know why anyone would want this. That's enough for me to know that the system controls all of these things by himself and goes off in case of overheating.

    Hi Tom,

    If you are running Windows XP, then it's quite normal that your hard drive show activity from time to time. You will have several active processes running that will periodically access the hard disk.

    You can also have background tasks that will periodically throw in life and cause a disk access activity.
