Satellite P200-1I4, the graphics card can be changed/updated?

Hi, recently bought a laptop and was wandering if I could install a better graphics card in this model? It came with: Intel GMA X 3100

THX

Hello, Tommy

Unfortunately graphics card can not be changed or updated. Hardware for laptops is designed on a different path with respect to the workstations and the graphics card is part of the motherboard.
Sorry but there is nothing to do.

  • Satellite A300: upgrading the graphics card question

    HI :)

    I am a new user of portable computers...
    Like nvidia geforce graphics cards can be installed in my Sat A300? extent to which max mem I can install?

    No, the graphics card can not be upgraded.
    In most cases (with the exception of the MXM module) the GPU is soldered on the motherboard and I don t think you could remove it.
    But even if you were able to remove the chip, you won't find any GPU that would be compatible with laptops card mother and BIOS.

    So in my opinion don't forget this upgrade

  • Satellite P200 accidents + message: graphic card driver does not work properly

    Hello

    hope that this issue has not been covered before, but I've owned a Satellite P200 for 3 years now, and this week, it crashes all the time.

    When it started going down he gave me a few messages in the sense of "your graphics card/driver does not work properly and windows will be arrested to avoid damage.

    It has progressed to the point where now when I turn it on, I have vertical lines running down the screen and the screen flashes on and outside. Within 20 seconds, it restores the BSOD - 'there was a problem and windows will be arrested. Error Page_Fault_In_Non_Paged_Area"then stops.

    I ran a system restore but the problem remains.

    I have a feeling that my graphics card is toast. Is this good? Are there any other options to try? Thanks in advance for any answers.

    Matt

    Hello

    Sounds like the GPU problem.
    But try the graphics card driver update.
    Use the most recent driver for your graphics card.

    In addition, clean the fans of portable computers.
    Dust and debris could prevent the cooling fans to turn with the best speed and this could lead to a higher temperature which would lead to overheating.
    Use a jet of compressed air. I also use it and it helps to get rid of dust and debris.

    If this is not enough, then a problem of graphics chip would be possible.

  • Satellite P100: Why the graphics card Nvidia 7900 is not available in the United Kingdom?

    Why nvidia 7900 GPUs is not available in the p100 to the United Kingdom? Europe & Middle East the 7900gs is available in the continent. The 7900 gtx in the States is available.

    Why?

    Hello

    I put t believe that it of not possible to buy a P100 with the graphics card Nvidia 7900 to the United Kingdom. If you can't buy it forms mobile phone dealer in your city, so I'd check the shops online cell phone.
    I studied a little bi and found these P100 units with the graphic card nVidia 7900.

    Satellite P100-426; P100-194; P100-191; P100-196; P100-215; P100-222

    I found three different cards which were delivered with the P100:
    NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900; GeForce Go 7600 and Intel 945GM Express

    Anyway, the P100 is a new laptop and eventually you can't buy it in every store, but in my opinion several times this unit should be available in the United Kingdom with the GeForce Go 7900

  • Satellite P10 and the graphics card driver updates

    Hello

    I'm a newbie on this forum, but let's get to the point. I have Toshiba Satellite PSP10E (PIV 2.8HT 800 Mhz, 1 GB of system memory bus speed and UNFORTUNATELY a GF 5600go...).
    My (not only) problem is that Toshiba use engineering video BIOS version and it does not have the latest drivers for the geforce series. The most up-to-date driver that really works is the last of the series 5xxx... so you can see that none of the newer games can be run with a performance on this map... because older drivers don't use really not (available at directx9.0) 2.0 pixel shader. It would not be a problem if Toshiba would give an update not only BIOS system, but also the bios video (new system BIOS contains the same old video bios.

    I really had to settle for playing games that are 2 years old? First of all pay a lot of money for a witch of the computer has enough power to run some new but don't care support Toshiba for this...

    I was the proud owner of a Toshiba laptop, but I'm not! If I had to choose again, I decide to buy computer Toshiba...
    My Question: is that Toshiba will do something with this problem? Someone knows how to help? Thanks for any help (I have not found such a problem in this forum, sorry if it has been the front sign) and sorry for my English (hope that's understandable)
    My video Bios is: v4.31.20.56.A6

    [Edited by: admin]

    Hello

    We know that you can not install the drivers downloaded from the download page of GF because of the restriction of material. It's not only the Toshiba models, but also on other producers of portable and if you visit the download page of graphics cards, it is always recommended to download drivers designed by the manufacturers of portable.

    I think that nobody can explain why it's because I'm sure you know the reason. The performance of the graphics card will always be a topic of discussion and you will always want to have maximum performance for games with laptop, although performance may not be the same as on the desktop where you have the possibility to change the graphics card and install the latest drivers.

    Because of this, I think that it is really unnecessary to some turbulence here. Believe me, you can buy what you want, but after two or three years you will be always satisfied with something.

    In any case, good luck and enjoy life!

  • satellite 2410-603: the graphics card upgrade?

    I seems that my card will not support it. The laptop / card can be upgraded to one that can support 9. 0 or it is part of the motherboard for the laptop and I'm stuck with it?

    Hello

    Sorry I had to say that it is impossible to update a graphics card in a Toshiba laptop.

    A laptop is a very complex machine and there is no space for construction in the slots scalable i.e. I have desktop computers!

    It's ufortunately one disadvantage of a laptop, but instead, you have some advantages like mobility, compactness and so on!

    You could show https://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com (products) If you want to buy a new one! :-)

    Hello

    I am a serious player, but unfortunately the laptop I found myself with is not the best for her. ToshibaSatelite U500 with 4 GB RAM and intel Core 2 Duo 2.53 GHz. the main problem is the graphics card which is as simple as possible, and so I can't play any good games.

    I see that the graphics card is attached to the motherboard; If I change the motherboard I can get one with a powerful top of the graphics card online? Help!

    Hi okoene,

    Unfortunately, a graphics card update is not possible and there is also no other mothers available with a more powerful graphics card.

  • Installation of Windows 7 has failed due to the graphics card, can not go beyond "Complete Installation".

    Hello, I'm trying to reinstall Windows 7 Professional 64 - bit after an accident which is more allow me to start on the login screen of my previous installation of Windows 7 Professional 64 - bit.  When I try to reinstall the installation hangs and will not finish (even at night) on the stage of "Complete Installation"... ».  During my first install of Windows 7 on this computer I had the same problem and finally worked my way around it by removing the 2 GB of RAM (2 GB installed leaving) and the replacement of my gpu NVIDIA 8800GT with a gpu NVIDIA 8600.  I don't have the right to replace the gpu, and I believe that this issue could possibly be resolved by installing a suitable driver for the 8800GT before starting the installation.  Since I can't start is no longer in Windows 7 in a form in any way, the only option I know is to use the option to load drivers in the system found on the DVD itself System Recovery Options.  When I find the correct driver and install it, it returns the error "failed to install".  I am now at a loss to know what to do because it was the only solution I could think, am I missing something?  If this is not the case, how can I get Windows 7 installed again?  Thanks for any help.

    Hello

    I presume you didn't search forum discussions on upgrading graphic I'm right?
    In all threads, you can always find the same info; No, that s is not Possible!
    Mobile computer technology is just different, an upgrade to the graphics card can not be done!

    Laptops are very useful due to the portable but mobile use cannot be upgraded like current desktop PC.
