• Satellite Pro L500: Dynadock U - problem with graphics card driver

  Hello.

  I have a TOSHIBA Satellite Pro L500 PSLSAA-00K00U running Windows 7.

  I just installed a Toshiba Dynadock u after I restarted and connected, I recevive the error:

  Warning

  The Catalyst Control Center is not supported by the version of the driver for your compatible graphics card.
  If it please your ATI graphics updated driver, or enable your ATI card using the display manager.

  I downloaded the latest display drivers ATI on Toshiba website for this model of laptop, but the dirver installer said that the latest drivers are already installed.

  Is there something I need to do to prevent this recurring error?

  Thank you

  Steve

  Hi mate

  I think you need to reinstall or update the Dynadock U Software.
  Visit the page of European driver of Toshiba and searching:
  Options-> connectivity-> Dokcs & ports-> Dynadock U10 replicators

  Then you will get Dynadock Utility for different OS. The latest version of the software is v2.1.4.7.

• Satellite Pro A60: Can I put the graphics card ATI Radeon 7000

  I have an A60 Satellite with the Mobility Radeon 7000 Graphics Pro. I play world of Warcraft, but it won't work on the laptop, because this graphical configuration is not supported. Is is possible to upgrade to a better?

  I was told that it is not possible because the chip is attached to the motherboard.

  Or Nick

  Unfortunately, the graphics card laptop cannot be upgraded. It is simply not possible due to the architecture of the laptop. Laptops are just different and you should know that only a few parts such as the memory or HARD drive are extensible.

  You can try to use a card external chart like this for example:

  But I m not sure if it s really an option.

• I think that my graphics card is the original BSOD - sort sure?

  • I've been struggling with BSOD for a month now and have reinstalled Vista 3 times. I always get the BSOD with a 116 error code indicating the nvlddmkm.sys. I can start safe mode and I can boot Vista with the graphics driver disabled nVidia. When I have the option to check solutions (after going without failure, following the crash mode), I get a message that the nvidia driver has failed. I tried to download the latest driver from nVidia website, but I still get the BSOD. I ran Diagnostics on the hard drive, processor, memory and motherboard and it passes all these tests. I tried running a diagnostic test on the graphics card twice (with the active pilot) and it crashed the system twice.

    So, I think that the card is shot since I was still getting BSOD with the latest drivers. I'm fine with the replacement of the card if it will save my computer, but I don't want to spend the sum of $ if something is wrong with my computer. Are there other tests I need to run on the computer before you buy a new card? Also, should what card I get. I have a HP m9150f with a card Nvidia GeForce 8500. Also, I haven't downloaded Service Packs or updates of Windows (I did the first 2 times I have re-installed and the system still broke). I should install them now or will that complicate things until I get the figurative out graphics card?

    Thank you.

• Satellite Pro M10 - possibility to change the graphics card?

  Hello

  is it possible to change the graphic card with a new generation? My only, a 32 MB GeForce4 420 Go makes problems on some games because the requirement is 64 MB minimum.

  If, in case of purchase (Germany) and which is compatible?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Jasmine is quite right. The graphics card is fest mounted on the motherboard and cannot be changed.

  I'm sorry.
  Good bye

• Satellite Pro P100 - cable had burned down due to a faulty graphics card

  Hello
  I have a problem with my Satellite Pro P100 where to win t start, including trying to restart without the battery.

  I took it for repairers who managed to get it working again. They said a cable leading to the screen had to be replaced with requiring a General Service Officer, as it has been clogged up with dust.

  However once I got it home it works ok, but when I tried to access the options for Nvidia graphics display an error message came upward, which suggests that I have maybe need to install a driver of cassis, which I did immediately and restart the computer the problem has reappeared, computer wouldn't boot.
  I brought for repairs for the second time and they said the cable had burned down again because of a faulty graphics card and would cost a lot to replace.

  If someone has had this problem, it is possible to have just the graphics card replaced without replacing the motherboard and it is likely that the motherboard is too damaged.

  You will appreciate all the comments/tips

  Strange, but I think that there is no other way to replace the motherboard.
  The graphic card it s soldered on the motherboard if the entire motherboard must be exchanged.

  I know that's not good news for you buddy but if the graphics card is faulty, it should be replaced. :(

• Need of new graphics card for my Satellite Pro P100

  Hello
  My Toshiba Satellite Pro P100 has no display screen or an external monitor, it has a separate Nvidia Geforce go 7600 graphics Card.
  Can any body tell me if I can get a replacement card?

  Thank you

  How do you know your laptop has a separate graphics card?
  Have you had success out of the mainborad?

  Sorry these issues but I m a bit confused. As far as I know graphics card is part of mainborad and cannot be replaced separately.

• Blue boxes and Bluescreens when you feed up to Satellite Pro P100-438

  Hello

  I own a Pro Satellite P-100-438 (PSPAHE - 001001GR). Yesterday, I tried to start a game, and shortly after, he froze, showed strange bluish rectangles and then a screen blue, followed by a reset.

  Then the screen was full of blue shaded boxes in the nature of a grid as a layer of perfect finish. Even the start screen "Toshiba - contact tomorrow" has this box-grid layer.
  From the login screen Vistas should appear, there is an another bluescreen: 0 x 00000050 Page Fault In Non-Paged area.

  Now, I can only start the computer in safe mode.

  I tried to restore the last configuration of windows work but that did not help. I tried to remove the display so drivers and fiddled with the parameter of startup in msconfig and at one point, I was actually able to get Vista running as usual without the blue boxes, but after awhile, I got another blue screen and since then, they have remained.

  Sometimes, there is an another screenshot as well: 0 x 00000116. nvlddmkm.sys - address 8C8149A0 base at 8 808000, DateStamp 4a9cdd24

  And he said something 'Attempt to reset display driver and recover timeout failed.' as well.

  See these screenshots:

  Hi again,

  last night I checked if the problem might be related to overheating. But now I think that's not the problem. I removed some dust, but it wasn't really much. Accidents still happen.

  Regarding the graphics bugs: this is the kind of a grid of blue boxes. But this isn't a perfect grid. Only a grid on the screen. I have a photo I will upload tomorrow. When I move the windows under the grate, it stays in place. Everything as it was somehow in the surface of the screen.

  Maybe if the graphics card is broken? It is not the RAM. I removed one at a time, and it is not related to it.

  Somehow check whether the graphics card? It's a Geforce Go 7900 GS.

  The laptop is a Satellite Pro P100-438 (PSPAHE - 001001GR).

  If I bought a replacement graphics card, might be able to buy a better? They're much cheaper than three years ago. Or which would mean too much consumption and amount of heat energy?

  What are the cards would work?

  Best regards

  Daniel

• Satellite Pro P100 PSPAEE guard screen goes white/black

  I have a Satellite Pro P100-PSPAEE running Vista Ultimate. Recently, the screen started going black and white during the day. It does not seem to be asleep like nothing refreshes the screen. All I can do is hold the power button and restart the laptop. Have tried rash, the compressed air fan and have re - configure the minimum processor power management to 100%. Am still getting the problem everyone else encountered this problem and have you found a solution, I would prefer not to have to open the laptop and play with the heat sink.

  Don't you think that this problem could be related to problems of overheating?
  Eventually it s only a software problem

  So try first update the graphics driver and BIOS!

  One question; have you noticed the same issue using the preinstalled operating system from Toshiba?

• Behavior strange screen/video Satellite Pro P100-109

  I have a strange problem with my Satellite Pro (P100-109 model pspa3e 00n009du). I edge video card printing is letting me down, so if anyone has a solution so please help!

  Yesterday, while working properly since I bought the machine, I had a strange video behavior. Black icon arround windows not updated correctly etc.
  After a restart of the system, these problems seemed resolved, but it lasted just a view minutes.
  After awhile, I got a blue screen (BCCode: ea BCP1...) BCP4:00000001 SP: 2.0) learned Internet research that his had to do with the video driver.

  Symptoms of the display:
  -Vertical dotted lines shown on the screen of the bios toshiba (variety of colors)
  -Loading of Windows show a few vertical lines as well
  -After loading the clickable elements appear black (not titles of window - no buttons shown/rendering)
  -L' screen goes black every 4 seconds
  -System responds very slowly, but sometimes it seems that it works normally
  -mouse disappears
  -After awhile that I get a black screen, system does not answer more.
  -In windows safe mode (so do not using the nvidia drivers), the display seems to work normally

  DID the next trying to solve my problem in vain:

  -J' I uninstalled/removed the nvidia drivers and installed the last on the toshiba site.
  -Deletion of original and installed drivers drivers Guru3D site (also used the Driverutility from the same site).
  -J' I uninstalled/removed the nvidia drivers and installed the original
  -Upgrade to SP3

  Uninstalling the driver (in safe mode) and so to use a generic driver only seem to work.

  Anyone know how this can be resolved or are these signs that the nVidia GeForce Go 7900 has been roasted.

  Hello

  Long story. short answer...

  It is really possible that your GPU chip malfunctions.

  I came to this conclusion because the laptop don t symptoms occur if the graphics driver is not installed.
  If the graphics card driver is installed the graphics card would go with the best performance and possibly graph questions would appear once again.

  I think that you can't do anything to what might solve this problem outside to contact the ASP in your country and ask for help.

  Good luck

• Satellite Pro P100 PSPAEA - irritating noise of the fan

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro P100 PSPAEA and need honestly the laptop more irritating I have ever owned.
  The problem is the cooling fan which tends to regularly turn up to maximum, sat there for a few seconds then turn down.

  Rather than simply successively increase to cool a little screaming for a second or two, then reduced speed. It can do like all the 15 seconds and is driving me crazy especially in a silent room. I am running Windows Vista and the latest version of the BIOS V4.4. I am ready to throw this thing on the door and never buy Toshiba again.

  But before I do that does anyone know a solution?

  Thank you

  I think the BIOS v4.4 requires a newer graphics NVIDIA driver.

  Install the latest graphics driver from the Toshiba site and see how it goes.

• Satellite Pro P100-438 game stuttering

  Hello world

  I bought a Satellite Pro P100-438 (PSPAHE - 001001GR) with 2 GB of RAM in May 2007. I really took my time choosing the right laptop and the card game and the comments that I thought that it would be exactly what I wanted. As he had a numeric keypad, which is a must for me. I knew all the articles indicating that Vista would be detrimental to the performance, but I was willing to wait six months for driver issues and others to be decided. And a weaker performance in regards to a lower rate would not have been a problem.

  Here again the stats of the platform:

  Core 2 Duo T5500 2 x 1.66 GHz - 2 GB RAM - 160 GB HD - DVD +/-RW DL - NVidia GeForce Go 7900 512 MB - USB 802.11abg 2.0/FireWire/Modem/LAN/WLAN / Bluetooth - DVI - 5 in 1 card reader (SD/MMC/MS/MS Pro/xD) - 17 "WXGA + (1440 x 900) TFT - Windows Vista Edition Family Premium Li-Ion-battery - 3,20 kg

  Now the problem is that all the 3D games (such as BioShock or the by now old Deus Ex - Invisible war) stutter. The performance seems to be all right, rates are usually fantastic even with the highest settings, but there are approximately every 3 seconds a stutter. Reduction of the graphics settings is not to solve the problem.

  There seems to be a lot of people with similar problems with this all-3-second-stuttering around. Usually, I'm really good at 'fix' these problems with my computers. It usually includes surfing the forums, try many drivers video, drivers modded, installation of patches or just waiting for a solution from the manufacturer. ;)

  Nothing has solved the problem so far. Here is what I tried:

  -Different drivers: those most recent Tosiba March (which is pathetic!) to the most recent available at www.laptopvideo2go.com
  -Different audio drivers for the Conexant Audio device high definition. They screw out of speakers and output, so I had to go back to drivers of Toshiba.
  -Vista updates: all the patches that are recommended in various forums and any other vista automatically updated
  -DirectX 9 .0c updates. Some said this could help because my card does not support DX10 and therefore should use DX9. Makes sense to me. DX10 seems to graphics engine so advanced being of the same Vista does not use it. Well, it was without success.
  -BIOS update. I got stuttering with the preinstalled BIOS and now I use the newest one which is 4.00 for my laptop. Did not help.
  -Disabling Vista Aero. Do not remove the stuttering, but gave a better framerate. But 100 fps or 105 fps was not the issue.

  Some people say installation XP would solve the problem, but it is not a viable option for me since I don't own a Windows XP license.

  Now I can't think of another solution, and honestly I think that it is not my task to arrive at a solution. I spent about 1400 Euro on the laptop and I would like to have is a decent customer service and the problem resolved. And if Toshiba is not able to solve it they should at least be able to point the finger the cause of the problem. Right?

  But now I still have some hope left. Maybe someone reading this found the solution to my problem and can give me a hint, because I'm always willing to try some suggestions. :)

  Can anyone help?

  I think the problem is that the NVidia GeForce Go 7900 does not support the new DirectX10 but only the DirectX9.
  The Vista operating system supports the new feature of DirectX10 and there might be a problem with the connection between Vista and Nvidia!

  I noticed that this problem occurs only play games designed for Direct10X.

  Like all the people here in the forum says, this strange game stuttering does not appear with XP installed.

  > Some people say installation XP would solve the problem, but it is not a viable option for me since I don't own a Windows XP license.
  I really put t see any other possibility to get rid of this problem install XP! As already mentioned it's nothing wrong with the laptop but with the Vista OS.

• Satellite PRO P100 - 383 DVD UJ - 850 s Firmware update

  Hello

  My laptop is a Satellite PRO P100-383 with a DVD burner MAT * a UJ-850 s.

  The current firmware of my DVD writer UJ-850 s MAST * one is 1.10 and I can't write some DVD-R, because they are not recognized as DVD-R, but as a CD - R. I think it's just the firmware of DVD writer that is too old.
  Is it possible to update this with new firmware please? because I found something in the download section for my laptop. Just drivers and BIOS of motherboard, but nothing on the MAT * an update of firmware UJ-850 s.

  Thank you very much for your answer.

  Friendly.

  Hi Philippe

  In my opinion you shouldn't change something but use high quality blank DVD - R TDK or Verbatim.
  Maybe you use some blank media cheap and without name.

  Have you tested with known brands?

• Satellite Pro P100 - 11(d) crashed and Linux does not load

  Hello.

  I have a Satellite Pro P100 - 11(d) which have worked well since 2007 both with preinstalled Windows and Ubuntu last.

  But... Yesterday, Firefox crashes, I thought, but after the restart it was not able to load Ubuntu desktop, comes from a command prompt.

  I tried to reinstall the driver and xserver with no luck.
  Tried to reinstall Ubuntu together, but it stops while loading of Ubuntu live.

  Thought maybe, a hard drive crash so I want to wipe the entire hard drive and so reinstalled Windows, which wouldn't load after installation. Changed the hard drive to a WD250GB, but always the same - stop loading live Ubuntu and Debian and Meego...

  Has a verified memory from the live USB of Ubuntu (before loading Ubuntu), no errors.
  I have an idea that maybe the graphics, but it has no errors or defects to display install screens - graphics.

  Anyone have any ideas?

  Oh, I had Ubuntu while loading, try checking the hard drive and what makes some mistakes, why I thought it might be a hard drive problem.

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  What about another system? Windows?
  Can you start and install Windows system using the Toshiba Recovery disk?

  Generally speaking, it is not easy to say what has caused this problem
  It may be related to no hardware, a part even if the HARD drive or memory error was not detected, one of these parties may malfunction
  Worst case its something wrong with the motherboard but it s only a hypothesis.
