Satellite M70-164 PSM71: after the installation of Vista the display flashes

Hello

I have a M70 - 164 witch has an ATI mobility Radeon x 700 with 128 MB dedicated. I installed Windows Vista Business on it, but sometimes, when the LCD resolution changes (IE, when I start a game, when I close the LCD screen and open when I connect,...) the screen becomes stupid...

You know, with lots of color, but I don't understand anything in it! As you was whatching a coded TV channel, flicking and with no image defined.

Anyone know what it can be? It started to happen when I installed windows Vista. I already did twice, but the problem is still present. I've used Vista drivers, the drivers from the ATI site, toshiba.ca drivers, drivers of other toshiba computers...

I don't know what to do more. If you can help, I would like to say thank you.

Hello

For me, it looks like a graphics driver issue.
Your M70 seems to be a European model and this is why you must use the graphics drivers that are specifically designed for this model of laptop but unfortunately I checked on the European pilot site and found nothing :(
I noticed that Toshiba releases every week new drivers for various notebook series.
Maybe you unit series will appear both in the text

But nevertheless, this problem is very strange, a friend of mine installed Vista on the M70 and something like this didn't happen.
Maybe it of not a driver problem; (but related material?  :|

Hmmm updated you the BIOS?

  • Satellite M70 - black screen after the installation of recovery

    So far, what I did is put in the Recovery DVD - ROM product. Then when my computer restarts I was invited to restore my computer failing and said. After that he went through this process, that he told me to remove the disc that I did. Now he only get a black screen after the Toshiba screen that gives me options f2 for Setup and f12 for options.

    I don't know what to do now to make my laptop works again. Help, please.

    Hi Zach_1,

    Have you tried to launch the installation of recovery again? Maybe that something was wrong during the first installation, it might have arrived
    Then retry the recovery facility and see what happens.

    If it doesn't work you should try a normal Microsoft disk so determine if the problem is related to hardware or recovery disk.

    Hello Neo

    In my opinion it is not easy to offer any help. Depending on your display of work materials and the latest driver WLAN is installed. It is not easy to explain why this WLAN signal is unstable. For the right answer, you should see if the reason for this is router or WLAN hardware on your laptop.

    If one of your friends have WIFI at home I recommend to test it. If the problem persists it may be something wrong with the WLAN antenna on your laptop (placed behind the screen). Maybe the technicians have done something wrong while replacing the screen.

  • Satellite M70-164: what is a default temperature of the HARD drive?

    I wonder if someone can tell me what are the default temperatures of the hard drieve of a satellite M70-164

    Hello

    It is not easy to say. It is based on the use of the HARD drive.
    If the turns HARD disk and OS write or read on/from the HARD drive, so the temperature increases, but if you use the laptop only for internet, so the temperature of the HARD drive remains on the low level.

  • Satellite M70 164 - screen freezes and goes black, overheating

    Hello world! :)

    Recently my Satellite m70-164 started to freeze after only a few minutes of work. The picture on the screen freezes, and a few seconds later, it becomes completely black.
    The computer doesn't even have time to warm up, and it's not stop... It's just the screen that freezes and becomes so black. I have to reset the computer by pressing the power button. (I write from another computer).

    I noticed that working time reduced whenever I have reset the computer and after some time it freezes even though I am in the BIOS settings, so I don't think it's an OS problem.
    Even if the computer does not have time to warm up, this suggests it might be a heat problem.
    So I tried pointing a fan this is low (a big, like the ones we use in the summer), and it works without problem!

    With the fan facing these, I reinstalled Windows - so no Virus.
    Laptop fan * not * continue to operate as it is overheating.
    The fan runs and it is not clogged as I've cleaned.

    So if anyone has the same problem, or ideas, please respond!
    (And sorry for my English)
    Thanks in advance! : D

    Hey Buddy,

    I agree with you. In this case, even in the BIOS, that it has nothing to do with Windows or a Virus. In this case, it seems to be a hardware malfunction

    But before contacting an authorized service provider to diagnose what part is the cause, clean your laptop using a jet of compressed air. This should be done from time to time (every 4 months) and, therefore, it of not necessary to disassemble the laptop.

  • Satellite M70-337 - replacement of the main card

    Hi, can any 1 tell me. is the K000033860 new Toshiba Satellite M70 computer laptop motherboard
    the same TOSHIBA EQUIUM M70-173 card MOTHER K0000333860.

    where can I get a list of cards that will fit the Equium m70-337.
    Thank you

    I think it's the same thing. As far as I know Satellite M70 was offered with two hardware configurations:
    -Satellite M70 with PSM70E part number and Intel graphics card
    -Satellite M70 with PSM71E part number and ATI graphic chip

    Your laptop must be identical to PSM70E so I m 99.9% sure it's the motherboard even if you can use it.

  • Satellite M70 - ConfigFree - error turn the WLAN light

    ... morning...

    I know I've seen a lot of articles on the Internet about this problem, but, so far, not correct answers or solutions.

    In Satellite M70, although wifi turns the front is 'ON' and led lights, ConfigFree sounds and shows "error...". Turn on the switch"and also is anable to find wifi devices all around.

    I have the latest drivers, the latest version, I disabled the wifi MS. program control... nothing. !!!
    Is not a big problem, wifi works, but it seems a troublesome BUG for Toshiba...

    Bye of the Italy

    I doubt s a Configfree bug.
    The Configfree is pre-installed on my Toshi and it of running great.

    Here's a brief info how to use Configfree:

    Notes; This message appears if you have not activated the WLan correctly!
    It takes the WLan switch on WE (LED should appear) and in addition, you will need to use FN + F8 to activate the WLan

  • Crush the display flashes for 2-3 minutes after that mini mac wakes up from sleep

    Crush the display flashes for 2-3 minutes after that mini mac wakes up from sleep

    If you have another Thunderbolt cable, plug it into the unused port on the

    Thunderbolt Display and then in the Mini and see if the same thing happens.

    What you can see is a precursor of the poster, built out of the cable.

    At least, it could eliminate a costly repair problem.  Although the cable itself is not

    expensive, opening to the top of the screen of TB to replace could be.

    Well that not connected on a Mini, I began to see in similar behavior my

    iMac, so that there was finally a break in the complete cable.

    Hello. There is a problem on the IPhone s 5 - after reset, the display flashes on the sides for 10 minutes, then the flashing stops. And the problem does not appear again until they do not use a Hard Reset (Power + Home).

    The phone is new (5 days). It's a wedding?

    If you encounter this flicker, then the next troubleshooting step is to restore from a backup. If the behavior persists after the restore, then the last step is the factory restore. If after the factory restore and adding no additional content, you see always this problem, then you must make an appointment at the Genius Bar to the nearest Apple store or service provider authorized Apple to have the material examined. If the behavior goes after the factory restore, then sync again your content manually, without using the backup. It seems to me it's corrupted content in the backup.

  • The display flashes when I plug the charger in windows 8

    Hello, I'm on HP pavilion dv6-7104ea, last night, I installed windows 8 and I am having some problems with my screen, problem is when I plug my charger into the Jack, my then just display, screen goes black for a second and then back to normal, same thing happens when unplug charger. and when the display flashes it shows Itel (R) HD graphics icon in the taskbar. I updated the bios as well.but always the same problem, please help me with this. Thank you.

    It is not a flash. The laptop is supposed to turn off for a second. It is quite normal with laptop with switchable graphics as they react to the change in power source.

    I recommend that you follow the advice of Hardbeatz

  • The display flashes "" lost changes.

    I've been away from editing photo/LR for a while and am now back using LR and I noticed a number of things that confuse me.  I wonder if anyone has the same experiences or if they are unique to my setup.  This has happened with LR 3.4 and 3.4.1 now

    I have a late 2010 27 "iMac with i7 2.93 GHz, 16 GB of DRAM to, Lightroom is on the 1 TB internal drive that has 600 GB free.  I also have 30 GB assigned to the Camera Raw cache on the same drive.  My images are on a FW800 external drive.

    Here's the first symptom: if I run LR, put the point mode, select a photo that I have previously changed, go to history, select a step somewhere in history 'tree', the screen flashes and settle quickly on the image at this stage.  If I then select a new stage in the tree, the display flashes again and later 5-8 seconds to Flash.  The question is what is the cause for this?  It is troubling and interrupts the thought process.  By 'flash', I mean display LR whites - the area of the image will grey - and the image appears again a split second later.

    Another thing also includes the "flickering display.  Can I use the brush to change the appearance of an image.  I will be brushing along to watch the changes take place, and suddenly the brush will stop just as if it is frozen, a few seconds later, the display flashes and when it stabilizes it's as if I never started this particular route.  All changes since the beginning of this brush has disappeared.  Often (about 1/3 of the time) I notice that a 'step' in history marked 'Camera Raw settings' tree has been created.  I never seen that happen before.  I don't think this is 'normal' but I wonder just what I can do about it.  The only thing I've done so far is to optimize the catalog and increase the buffer of camera raw from 15 GB to 30 GB and purge the cache and still have the 'problem '.

    Anyone with ideas?

    Keep us informed, it looks like I can have stumbled across a solution!

    Thanks for the updates!

  • Satellite P100-119 - software after the installation of recovery

    I use a Toshiba Satellite P100-119 since 2006. I want to run the original liveries Product Recovery CD after you back up all my data, so that with a vacuum system, the laptop gets even faster.

    But as there were pre-installed software (office, Toshiba programms) when I bought it, I don't know if they went after the recovery. I do not have CD for these programs, they were just pre-installed and what my Windows xp, should recover fully with the cd?

    Hey Buddy,

    After the installation of recovery, you have the same settings that bought the laptop. With other words recovery disk will restore the box settings.

    Firstly the recovery disk will wipe the entire HARD drive and remove all. After this Windows will be installed all the drivers and tools. In addition, will be also installed software preinstalled such as office, etc. and you can use it again. :)

    Backup all important data like the photo, music, etc. but everything will be removed for a clean install of Windows.

  • Satellite U500 - Code 52 after the installation of recovery

    Hello

    I tried to reinstall my U500. After installtion some devices work not (code 52 in Device Manager).

    It is related to driver signing. When I imagined "disable driver sign" in the F8 boot menu some of them work properly.
    I tried to change bcdedit to ignore driver signing with no luck.

    Please notify.

    Long ago, I had the same machine. I got it several times but I never noticed this problem. did you notice immediately after the recovery image installation or later, after connection to the installation of Internet and Windows updates?
