Satellite M70-160: chart hangs after a few minutes of play

I recently bought a laptop from toshiba M70-160. I am happy with the technical characteristics and specifications of the system.

My laptop has 2.0 sonoma Pentium M Centrino, 512 MB of DDR2 RAM and 256 MB ATI MOBILITY RADEON X 700 graphics card.
I'm using the latest drivers to display on the Toshiba site. However, for example in Age of Empires III, NFS Most Wanted, GTA San Andreas and Civilization IV my grave graphics card down and crashes until I have reset my laptop.

When I install the ATI mobility catalyst 6.1 driver it crashes again, but this time by displaying a message on VPU recover (as the graphics card no longer). Sometimes after 5 minutes of gameplay.

Sometimes it crashes after 10 minutes or more even that I have reduce the graphics settings in the game. How can we solve this problem?

Thank you very much...

Hello

Toshiba recommends to use the driver of Toshiba graphics due to overheating problems.
Toshiba drivers are little different than the driver graphic original manufacturer s. Toshiba drivers include thermal protection and control the performance of the graphics card. This is important because the laptop cards graphics don t have own cooling as graphics cards office module.

Well, you can try using the graphics driver omega but at your own risk

  • New Sansa Clip + turns off after a few minutes of play audiobook...

    Hello

    I was wondering if someone could help me.  Have been enjoying my new Sansa Clip + for the past two weeks.  Just been using the function of radio - finally understood how to load an audio cd on the drive.  The drive is recognized on my computer, and audio tracks are in the player very well.  When I start the audio book, the player will stop after about three minutes of play.  I need to do a soft reset before it turns on again.  This happens whenever I try to read the audio book.  I have not loaded all of the songs on the player at the moment and I was wondering if this problem was something I got wrong, or if I was just a faulty drive.  This is my first mp3 player, so I'm new to this. :-)  The radio and the pre-loaded songs work fine.  I contacted the customer service, but have had no response.  Thought I would try the forum before you give them a call.

    I hope someone can help,

    El

    You must use a ripping software and extract the mp3 or wma files. The Clip + probably does not even support .wav files.

    Thank you!!

    With "disconnect" you probably mean "unplug", no?

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to say why this is happening. What kind of job do you have?
    I mean if the laptop turns off without apparent reason, it could be due to overheating and critical temperature of material.

    Can you please do a little test? Start your laptop and enter the BIOS settings. After doing this let him for a while and let us know if laptop will stay on or switches OFF again.

  • Satellite L555 - 11K - guard crashing after a few minutes

    My laptop crashes, sometimes after 20 minutes, sometimes after only a few seconds. The network is working properly and temperature says 50% although the mouse mat and a part of the keyboard becomes very unpleasantly hot.

    As far as I can tell, I have installed all drivers "updated" but why should I do it manually beats me? All my other computers do it automatically (I own and administer a crèche for children so I have several PC it). I'm starting to suspect that this laptop is a little Italian, fab in the research of design, but the mechanics are very skittish, "health monitor" showes no problem

    I'm a deep dunce with computers, but very good with kids
    Help, please

    OK just looked through the history of the forum. Try blasting some salvation air pressure inside!
    Today Toshiba said also that my serial number is not valid? yesterday, they accepted it? makes no sense

    Hey Buddy,

    Theoretically it could be caused due to a higher internal temperature because you wrote that the keyboard and the touchpad is very hot. I would recommend using jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans. You should check out this article from Toshiba:
    [How to clean a Toshiba laptop cooling system? | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=40]

    Regarding automatic updates: for the driver and the tool updates you must install Toshiba TEMPRO and check that the Windows updates are enabled. ;)

  • Satellite P35-S605 slows down after a few minutes, then BSOD

    I am running Windows XP Pro and have contributed the most to the RAM on my P35.

    I had a local computer repair shop disassemble, clean all the dust and junk on, remove the processor and reinstall using thermal transfer compound. The computer has worked fine until I did this. When I came back and turned it on it started OK but started to slow down until the barley by working, and then I got the BSOD. After the memory dump, it restarted and repeat the process. After having tried several reboots, I finally gave up and called the computer repair shop I had used and returned to them. After a day, they said, it must be my drive hard because they replaced my hard drive with one of their and he ran all night with no problems. I had an old hard drive that I had removed from this machine, a few weeks before to move to a bigger so I put the old back road. The same problem remained. I again called the repair shop and told them what I had done, but they said they couldn't help me. I'm not recommedn this shop to anyone.

    I was myself so after that reading many articles on the Internet, I desided to try to fix it myself. I erased the hard disk using a set 0 wipe the program. I did a disk image using Acronis before I took the computer to the repair shop, so I have restored the image. I still have the same problem!

    Someone at - it suggestions on what I might try (other than a clean reinstall of Windows).

    Say the event viewer when you start after an accident?

    Personally I'll be back to the top of what you need and try a new installation of windows.

    Check Device Manager and see if there is something contradictory too...

    In fact what would be useful is if you can list the steps you have tried so far, so we don't waste your time with useless suggestions :)

    I'll be watching this thread for an answer, so I'll get back to you.

  • Can I replace the video card on the Satellite M70-160

    Can I replace video in Toshiba Satellite M70-160 for a something new, like the ATI Mobility Radeon X 1600?

    No you can t do that. It of simple is not possible because the graphics card is fixed on the motherboard.

    Laptop technology is different and upgraded o parts like CPU or GPU are not easy or impossible.

  • Re: Satellite A300-1MS - after a few minutes DNS no longer works

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A300-1 ms with Windows Vista Home Premium SP2. What happens is that after a few minutes, surfing the web, I can't navigate more unless I restart the PC. It happened with SP1, SP2, IE7, IE8 and Firefox. The only service that stop working suddenly is browsing when "http://dns_domain" is entered in the Solution Explorer. These other services running ok:
    -Skype
    -updated windows
    -update anti-virus
    -http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (using IP instead of domain)
    -nslookup, so the connection to the dns server seems to be ok
    -ping to the router

    The only solution is to restart the PC (turn on/off the network interface or reboot the router does not resolve the issue)
    This happens with the help of wi - fi and wired LAN

    Does anyone have a clue on what could happen and how to solve?
    Thank you very much for reading this post!

    Hello

    Sounds like the system service domain name (DNS) stopped working after a few minutes. Please check the Services (start > run > services.msc) if the DNS client is always started. Also, try to restart this service. It work?

    What antivirus software or security is installed? Try to update and disable the software just to test.

    Sorry, but that's all I can say at the moment.

  • Satellite M70 - 160 upgrade memory module RAM

    Hey, guys... I am the proud owner of a Satellite M70-160.
    I am considering upgrading my ram memory (I have 512 ddr2 at 533 mhz) and I woul like an another 512 and I have 2 problems. The first is that the memories of toshiba is the best? I mean they offer 2 types of memory ddr2 512 PA3412U - 2M 51 and PA3412U - 1 M 51.

    The second question is "can I use other brands of memory ddr2 512 RAM sticks?" I mean they have to be exactly the same as that which is inside the laptop? Because I have seen other brands than ddr2 512 to 50% of the Toshiba offer those... In fact someone at the main dealer of Toshiba in Romania offered me another brand, SILICONE - something... (or something like that).

    Thank you very much!

    Hello

    I think that the two bars of Toshiba offer the same performance, because they are the two PC2-4300. You should also be able to use other modules of the same type. They are simply not tested by Toshiba.

    Good bye

  • Re: Satellite L755d - all browsers except IE8 crashes after a few minutes

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba l755d for a month. Everything works well except firefox, chrome and opera.
    IE8 works. At first I thought it was just firefox because I just test firefox.

    SO I wrote a thread in my own language for firefox forum. Nobody has been able to help me with this problem of accidents. Then I thought to test other browsers that eventually does not work too.

    So finally after update of everything and anything that I decided to reinstall windows so no change atm there is nothing on my hard drive but windows 7 home premium(64bit), pilots, recently extend java, flashplayer, firefox, opera and chrome.

    Short:
    -all browsers except IE8 crashes after a few minutes
    Firefox - forum couldn't help me
    -l' laptop is new
    -everything is updatet to current version

    Any ideas?

    Cheers!

    Hello

    How about IE 9?
    Is it too much to plant?

    Able to recover the laptop once more you use HD recovery or recovery disks (that you have created in the past hopefully) in order to test the browsers with the Toshiba factory settings?

  • Satellite L450 - 13G - No WLAN signal after a few minutes

    Hello. I just bought a L450 13 G with Windows 7 pre loaded.

    I noticed that a lot of times drops wifi connection. It starts as an excellent signal and then suddenly fades to no signal after a few minutes. I can't get it remains connected, if I'm in the same room or the next day. I have also a few years L or U 200 (I think) and it remains connected wherever I am at home.

    What could be the problem?

    Hey Buddy,

    I assume you are using the preinstalled version of Windows 7. Is this good?
    If so try to update the WLAN driver. If you are looking for your laptop model, you will find the latest version on the Toshiba site.

    In addition, check the configuration of the router. If you use a MAC address filter, try to disable it. Try another encryption and password encryption.
    Also check the firmware if you use the most recent one.

  • Satellite A30 turns off after a few minutes (set temp)

    Anyone know if there is a temp for the A30 laptop parameter. My laptop turns off after a few minutes or alternative suggestions

    Thank you

    Hi Waseem,

    Dust accumulation is not in the fans themselves, but in the space between the fans and the CPU radiator, where it is trapped by the matrix of cooling.

    The technique of using a hose of vacuum cleaner against the fan grids is designed to suck the dust outside in front of the fans without having to dismantle the radiator.

    Obviously, you have just as much suction as possible in order to remove any dust, it is therefore important to isolate grids of aspiration air with a cloth.

    Kind regards
