Satellite Pro R850-10V - switchable graphics ATI 6450 M / Intel HD3000

Unfortunately, right now the R series does not offer a switchable graphic option between the integrated graphics chipset (Intel HD Graphics 3000) and him dedicated ATI 6450 M.

I have a model R850-10V with an i5 - 2410M and there is no option in the BIOS to such a choice, who would help a lot to increase the autonomy of the battery using only the onboard graphics for example.
Could see us in the future upgrade of bios that would allow this integrated graphics?

It's a shame, because all other important producers (HP, Lenovo, Acer) who use ATI 6450/6470/6490 M graphics integrated solution, updated their bios to allow a switchable graphics option.

Thank you.

> Could see us in the future upgrade of bios that would allow this integrated graphics?
Very good question, but on the wrong place. This is the forum user and you will not get an official statement here.

Let's see if Toshiba is going to change anything, and perhaps offer some update BIOS.

  • Satellite Pro R850-15F - freezing randomly and the fan speeds up

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro R850-15F who gave me four years in refurbished condition and so it is quite old.
    I have recently installed Windows 10 and things seemed to work very well.

    However, last week, I noticed that at least once a day my laptop freezes randomly and immediately the internal fan accelerates, becomes much stronger and a cold air. Whenever this happens, I turned off the laptop and turn it back on it.

    After that, it works normally again until the next time it freezes. I don't know anything about computer hardware, but I suspect that it is a problem of series and I wanted to get some advice in case my laptop is close to dying.

    If anyone has any help or advice or suggestions to solve the problem, then I would be extremely grateful if you would contact me.

    Hope to hear from someone soon,

    Flashback

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here. To me, it looks like problem with some background process that as a result of extremely high CPU usage that locks the phone whole.
    High CPU usage means more heat in such situation the fan starts to run a lot faster.

    Have you noticed this behavior with a specific action or the use of certain applications?

  • Satellite Pro A100 - cannot update driver ATI

    Hello!

    I have a problem with my graphics ATI Mobility Radeon x 1600 card card. I can't update to the latest driver from the ATI. The program says that it can not install on my system - contact company for the most recent driver. But the one that is provided by Toshiba is almost two years!
    It all started with, that I could not run FIFA 2009... even if it clearly States in EA own manual that this graphics card is supported! But I do not see everything in the game - except the players. Only their shadows are visible...

    I know it's a lot, but I'm pulling the hair here!

    HEEELP!

    BTW: my system: Toshiba Satellite Pro A100-PSAACE - Core2Duo 2.0 GHz, 3 GB RAM, 120 GB of HARD drive Windows XP Pro.

    I really wonder that many people do not understand why the laptop manufacturers don't offer drivers for graphics cards so often.
    Each laptop manufacturer deals with design, hardware components and drivers used for the operation of the equipment. On laptops, hardware components are miniaturized and placed close to each other. This means that the heat and is a common problem for the designers of the laptop.

    Each computer laptop (hardware, drivers, BIOS, cooling system) is designed to operate in optimal conditions. If you want the new driver that can force a graphics card to run on the maximum limit, the result will be more heat. More heat means more risk for damaging hardware and overheating.

    So to laptops, there are limits that must and should be respected. Graphics card manufacturers cannot just offer new drivers for laptops and be responsible for the damage. When some owner of the laptop is damage graphics card because of the driver who should be responsible? ATI or Toshiba?

    For this reason, graphics card manufacturers say clearly: If you want the new driver laptop computer contact the manufacturer. Manufacturers must also protect the customer s of material and be careful with this stuff.

    So I think you see how it works and the display driver update will be probably endless discussion on each laptop computers forum.

    Good luck!

  • Satellite Pro P300 - install the graphics driver

    Hi all

    This is my last resort before I throw this laptop through the window - and it is a gift for someone for Christmas.

    I recently bought a Satellite Pro P300 - model PSPC1E-005008EN, 2 GB RAM, 17 "display and Intel GMA X 3100 video card.

    As a very experienced engineer, same one that makes me tear my hair out.

    When the bike video car is installed with the ATI drivers what we call, or drivers intel I get an error 12 code saying there are not enough resources to launch pilots.

    When I discovered the Device Manager with the hidden devices turned on that I have 2 video cards, 1 that works properly and 1 in the error state.

    I uninstalled the drivers, all the video cards software related and reinstalled all, or just the drivers and still no joy. I have a laptop that shows no model model of monitor or video card in display properties and the resolution doesn't go above 1024 x 768, and the image is so bright.

    Can anyone help?

    Hello!

    Your P300 has an Intel GM965 graphic card so I put t know why you want to install ATI drivers?

    I think the best way is to reinstall Windows with the Toshiba recovery disc.

    Or you try the graphics driver from Toshiba:

    Normally when you purchase a Toshiba laptop do not install some drivers or utilities from Toshiba, it s all preinstalled.

  • Satellite Pro 4600 - CPU overheating graphics card?

    16 days ago my tosh Satellite Pro 4600 has lost the ability to maintain 25 fps in a game online - IE. Diablo 2.
    He now plays to an average of 4 frames per second and ping gets up to more than 4,000... Needless to say that now, unplayable...

    I reinstalled the game... installed new XP and game on the D drive...
    Same thing... a program called SpeedswitchXP shows CPU use fluctuating 54 to 420, because the clocked processor slot general tab of my computer displays 422 now, not the 847 mhz it used to.

    Still, he surfed on the net and plays yahoo games of cards for example. at lightning speed, but not a rpg online... there work perfectly at 25 fps on average for 3 years... Irretrievably overheating / damaged CPU, graphics card?
    Anyone know? Another temp. program shown running at 64 c is worth a new motherboard?

    I can get one? Any ideas?

    Hello

    First of all, he should know that the processor and GPU performance are dynamically.
    This means that the speed and the performance changes if the temperature reaches a critical threshold.
    This could lead to performance degradation.

    In your case, the laptop is about 3 years old and I think that it s time to clean the fans to prevent the notebook from overheating.

    You can try to use the jet of professional compressed air to get rid of dust and debris.

  • Satellite Pro M70: The game performance with Vista and Intel 915GM graphics card

    I have a satellite Pro M70 1.73Ghz with 768 MB of RAM.
    Although many would condemn the 915GM chipset (with graphic GMA900) as garbage, I was surprised to find on XP it can run quite a few games like Need for Speed Underground 2.
    I've heard some bad comments on the chipset with vista, and I was wondering if there is anyone out there who knows if I'll get the same kind of performance 3D with vista or not.

    Hey guys

    You have a Mobile Intel 915GM 8MB - 128 MB shared memory graphics memory. What do you expect?
    Check on the Microsoft website, the terms of Vista!

    It s not a graphics card performance and the games will not work with fast performance under XP and not Vista OS.

    Hello
    I don't have a model satellite pro 6000. PS600E-01NYE-FR
    1 GHz P3, 20 GB HDD, wireless bluetooth not running XP

    I understand that it is an old laptop but had been treated with great care because I got it.
    My problem is the following;

    Startup of the laptop is a route very well, but for some reason together and after no set amount of time the display fails
    a wot is visible on-screen is hundreds of tiny colored blocks, sometimes random horizontal lines
    but nothing is readable, at all.

    I tried to run a yellow one also using the video output external monitor, all appear the same.
    a computer display (although I can't check it out) to freeze.

    I replaced the heatsink fan as a precaution (using the new dough)
    the only solution I can find is replaced the ram with
    2 x 256 MB Sync 133 mHz module Samsung. This could be the problem or can anyone shed some light on this for me.

    Thanks in advance
    Display Toshiba SP6000 (?) Problem

    I am not a technician, but I assume that there is probably a problem with the video card. I'm afraid there is not much to do. You should contact the service and make them run tests to verify the functionality of the video card. If the card is faulty, just replacement will help.

  • Satellite Pro A40: Why are graphics drivers the expired

    I have a Satellite of the A40 Pro with onboard Intel 82852/82855 graphics. the current graphics driver on the Toshiba site is 6.13.10.3514 (dated December 19, 2003), but the current driver for the graphics card is 6.14.19 * (as dated February 8, 2006).

    I tried to install the software pivot for a monitor external, and to update the graphics drivers, so I downloaded drivers from the Intel site reference. They refused to install, so I checked the Toshiba site.

    The question is, why are the drivers of Toshiba so obsolete, and is there the intention to be updated in the near future?

    Hi David

    Very good question. I also wonder why some graphics card drivers are outdated.
    I read many comments in this forum, and it seems that the graphics drivers from Toshiba are not similar with the original manufacture graphics cards drivers.
    Graphics drivers from Toshiba are a bit changed. The graphics on laptops are different than the desktop graphics cards. Maps of the laptop is not a clean cooling module and so the pilots control performance and heat production.

    Sometimes different laptops are delivered with the same graphic card. In this case, it's a good idea to check the other drivers that are designed for different laptops with the same graphic card

    Hello

    At first, I must say that on this forum you will find many threads having the same content and also with good reviews how to increase the performance of s for laptop.
    What you need is the optimization of the OS.

    Laptop with factory preinstalled OS with of many Toshiba tols individuals, utility and also different additional software. Many of them start with Windows and run in the background. It is logical that the computer's performance will be slowed down.

    Each notebook with factory settings also allowed installation of windows update. With other words, it is set to automatic. It is logical that after short time of period notebook, will start all of the updates in the background. You will know what is going on, but because of download and update for computer laptop installation reacts very slowly.

    As a general rule it is no problem at all and I don t know why you sent your laptop to the service.
    Anyway check it please http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=134947
    You will find an interesting thread on slow start. It's the old model of laptop, but the principle remains the same.

    If you have any other questions you are welcome.

    This laptop has a combined microphone/headphone plug, but I couldn't find on the helmets of the market with 4 Cinch works correctly. I have some headphones mobile with 4-pole, but if I plug it into the laptop socket, both internal microphone. and the headset. stop working.

    On my previous Toshiba I used 2 catches headset (red/green sheets), but if I connect it to the Pro 850, micro internal. will not work.

    Can someone recommend, what type of headphones, I need to take care to be compatible with the model R850?
    -USB connection should be good?
    -the so-called plug 4 pole should work, if not cell phone accessory?

    If someone has already solved this problem, please advice me. Thank you.

    Hello

    Yes, according to the user manual, you must use a 4-pin headset to get the headset working.
    If you use any other prang 4 pin two mic (internal and external) would be disabled.

    > On my previous Toshiba I used 2 catches headset (red/green sheets), but if I connect it to the Pro 850, micro internal. will not work.

    I guess this pin 2 pin will not work in this case because the laptop supports only one taken headset.
    So, what do you think about using a 4 - Pin to 2 x 3-Pin 3.5 mm Headset Splitter Adapter like this:
