Tecra M10 - 1 H 4 - change shared video RAM worth?

Hello

I have a Tecra M10, with the standard 2 GB of RAM, I also added an extra 256 MB of available RAM slot. Can I change the value of RAM shared graphic? In the properties of XP Pro, I can see that it is fixed at 1024MB which is stupid because I only 2.25 GB in the machine.

I can't locate any settings even in the BIOS, where I thought I could change it. It's a mobile graphics chip Intel GMA 4500MHD. Any help is appreciated...

I also seem to get some horrible slow down on the laptop too, when I have about 10 different windows open, (be it the same application or different) when I switch to another window/application from time to time I have to wait for the laptop to redraw the new window very slowly?

I updated the driver too - claims I'm on: 6.14.10.4953

See you soon

TC

Hey Buddy,

No, you can change the video memory value of t. Everything will be controlled automatically and there is no value in the BIOS or the display driver where you can change it.

Video RAM depends on the RAM you are using on your laptop. Increase system memory values for the available total graphics memory, decided video memory and shared system memory will be higher.

So, to get more video RAM upgrade your laptop with more system RAM.

  • Change dedicated video RAM

    Hello

    I have a Dell laptop with an Intel i5 processor intel 4000 HD Graphics and 8 GB of RAM.

    I went into the BIOS to change the dedicated video memory, as it is currently 32 MB which is tiny for a system of 8 gb but I can't find any option to change it. Im running windows 8.

    Boot configuration options is F2 and Boot options is F12

    The 32G that you see is not the video RAM - it's a frame buffer.  The system allocates video RAM necessary - there is no way to manually change the assignment.

    Hello

    I have a laptop L30-134 with 512 MB of ram and 64 MB of video memory shared.

    I can't change the virtual memory from 64 MB to 128 MB.
    I reed some messages in this forum but I have no option in the Panel as "FrameBuffer" and the bios hase no option for the video display adapter, I tried to install the latest ati driver but ich time I get an error is not configuration / compatibil card whit say out.

    How I change my card adapter video shared memory size?

    Thank you.
    PS: sory for my bad English... :)

    Hello

    Using the latest display driver (you can download it at toshiba), then you will have the option of frame buffer memory. The initially installed driver doesn't have this option. You will be able to use the memory of 128 MB for vga. If you put your L30 512 MB, you can use 256 MB of video memory. But I found no differences in the games between 128 MB and 256 MB.

    Hello

    I think the problem is that Vista graphic driver does not support this option.
    The option described in the in the other thread was available in the argument XPOS.

    But why would you change? On my L30 128 MB shared memory are activated, but the laptop uses only 64 MB if I put t run all applications performance.
    The pilot controls the amount of shared memory automatically.

    You can se under control panel-> display-> advanced settings
    In the map tab, you can see total graphic memory available (in my case 128 MB) and system memory shared (64 MB)

    By the way; I don't think that 32 MB graphics memory may be sufficient if you're running Vista

    Hello

    As much as I know the of A40 Satellite Pro supports the Intel 852GME shared memory graphic card.
    S control Intel cards automatically memory allocation.

    This means that if the graphic card must more 16 MB of memory, the graphics driver will share the part of main memory!
    The whole process runs automatically and you do not need to change anything!

  • Satellite L300-1AI - how to put more video RAM?

    Hello

    I struggle a bit with the graphics card.

    I bought GrandTheftAuto IV, and although it runs, it runs very slowly. The cause for this is that it uses only 124 MB of video ram.

    I went to the site of intel to learn more, and it turns out that toshiba will set up my video ram before sending it.

    http://www.Intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-029090.htm
    (about 1/2 down, titled: can I increase the amount of memory graphics using my computer is?)

    Y at - it an option for me to set up a little more ram on the graphics card?

    Because at the moment, if I will:
    Desktop computer - make a right click, customize, display settings, advanced settings
    Get the type of adapter and information.
    Its a Mobile Intel (r) 4 Series Express Chipset Family
    1341MB available total graphics memory
    128 MB of dedicated video memory
    Video 0MB system memory
    1213MB shared system memory

    The quesitons I need to answer: why vista/intel usually allocate more video memory it is necessary. GTA IV seems not to be allowed to see the dedicated video memory.
    And then, how can I say vista/intel to allocate video memory dedicated more or maybe video memory system?
    Dynamic video memory allocation thingy seems to not work very well.

    I have already been in the graphics media accelerator driver and changed the 3D, of Normal driver memory settings to high.

    Concerning
    Ollie

    Normally the video RAM is switchable dynamic and you can t change.
    What you can do is update your RAM and then you will have more video RAM.
    However, you should not change the video RAM. Get this s automatically.

    On GTAIV I can say, install the latest hotfix.
    In addition, you can GTAIV tell you more RAM:
    Create a commandline.txt in the main folder of GTAIV and enter this txt to the following file:
    -availablevidmem 2.0

    This option set the amount of physical memory to video.

  • Tecra M10 - stuck - CTRL key question may be to do with the BIOS?

    Hello and thanks for reading.

    I recently changed my Tecra M10 to Windows 7 (from XP), and it quickly developed the dreaded question-button stuck CTRL This causes the keyboard behaves as if the CTRL key is pressed continuously. Sometimes reaching a key combination, or bring up the on-screen keyboard, temporarily solves the problem, but he returned.

    It seems to be a problem that many people have no simple solution. I watched each thread that I find and tried a lot of things to do with drivers etc without success.

    So first of all, if anyone knows a remedy that works for this particular machine, I would be very grateful to hear!

    Then, there are two things that I did not yet: updating the BIOS and turn off pinch zoom.

    I was watching the following BIOS update:

    http://www.Toshiba-Asia.com/SG/support/drivers/details/25244

    ... which is the version 3.00 and seem to be more recent. My version is 1.90.

    However, version 3.00 is labeled "for PTMB0 * ONLY. I don't know what that means or if it applies to me. Can anyone help? Should I install this BIOS?

    For the pinch zoom, I was informed that disable sometimes cures the problem CTRL - but I can't find any installation zoom pinch on the M10. I think he doesn't have any one. Is this fair?

    Thanks much for any help you can give.

    Hello

    > I was watching the next BIOS update. is the version 3.00, which seems to be most recent. My version is 1.90.

    There are different Tecra M10 models on the market.
    Check the labels at the bottom of the unit. There you should find numbers like for example PTMB0E-01K00LGR

    The first 6 characters are important: for example PTMB0E

    I guess that your laptop belongs to the series of Europeans.
    In this case, you should check the page of the Toshiba UE driver for a possible update of the BIOS.
    http://www.Toshiba.EU/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    However, on the page of the Toshiba UE driver you will also find the BIOS for all European units Tecra M10 v3.0.

    Anyway, back to Ctrl + button question: guess what, you need to connect an external USB keyboard and must check how is the CTRL key.
    In case the USB keyboard would work properly, the internal keyboard CTRL key is assigned and you will need to replace the internal keyboard.

    PS: it would be possible that the "sticky keys" option has been activated. To disable this feature, you must press SHIFT 5 times in the line.

  • Blue screen of death, the Tecra M10 runing Win XP

    My Toshiba Tecra M10 works like a dream for three years without ever gasp

    Until the other day.

    My Toshiba laptop is constantly cycling with a BSoD - then I will start windows - it looks like it'll work - it gets in the paper password on screen - then a few blank screens - BSoD then again repeatedly

    I am running XP Pro SP 3

    I couldn't get my laptop to stop doing this, so I removed the battery and then the power cable and it started again and then when he went to BSoD I took a picture of the screen with my digicam fortunately I have one that focuses immediately and take the picture instantly too

    the ERROR is

    BAD_POOL_CALLER

    Tech Info

    STOP 0X000000C2 (0 X 00000043, 0XC38C0000, 0 X 00000000 0 00000000)

    I haven't changed anything on my PC recently and I have tried all the beginning of the top safe mode and last known good configuration but it still cycles round and round and round

    This laptop is not connected to anything and comes standard with a module of memory 2 MB in it to bog

    the last known good configuration does not either, nor did one of the other options in the "safe".

    So I slipped on the HARD drive and tried to boot from my XP CD - not the recovery of Toshiba, one that I have not tried this one in the laptop again.

    Rather unsurprisingly with no HARD drive in the laptop, I got a different error

    STOP 0X0000007B (0XF78D2524, 0XC0000034, 0X00000000, 0X00000000)

    which is I believe the inaccessible boot device - I know, it cannot see the HARD drive because it is sitting on my desk but would wait to boot from the XP CD... ISN'T IT?

    I tried to set all the parameters by default both boot - no difference

    With the HARD drive in - the laptop boots as windows user enter screen with no problems but doesn't stop on this screen - after a few screens blank the BSoD comes up and off it goes again.

    In the advanced startup options, I changed auto-start on setting error so it does not loop forever. and this prevents loop to the start cycle... seems to be changing this setting is not a permanent change

    Then I went into the BIOS and under the mode of the SATA AHCI to IDE controller and the STOP error 0x0000007B (0xF78D2524, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) is gone now and the pc will try to install Windows until I need to see the HARD drive and then gives up trying to install XP with a no. HHD error (the HHD is based of course on my desk) so it was a valid error expected...
    put the HARD return drive without changing the BIOS back makes it appear the STOP 0x000000C2 (0 x 00000043, 0xC38C0000, 0 x 00000000 0x00000000) error

    HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLP please

    Hello

    I think you should test the HARD drive don't you agree?
    In my opinion, this should be the first part that should be checked since the new operating system installation was not possible

    I recommend the use of the tool called: HDD Drive Fitness Test. This software creates a bootable floppy to test. You can use this disk to run a test HARD drive without installation of any system.

    If the error would be detected: replace the HARD drive.
    If no error would be: use the Toshiba Recovery disk in order to install the system. (don t forget to put back the BIOS to default)

    Hello

    I have a workaround, if I start the PC, BIOS after with what this either in the Bay of the STRANGE, after Windows starts, I have insert the second HARD drive in the Bay of ODD, go to "Windows Device Manager" a 'check for changes on the hardware"and voila, the second HDD works fine , for me, it shows a limitation in the BIOS.

    Y at - it assistance, a Beta BIOS or something else, I have the latest BIOS 3.00 for this machine installed.

    Please check this thread:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=39412

    It seems that Tecra M10 does not support a select bay that would allow you to use a 2nd HDD rather than the ODD.
    As far as I know select bay is compatible with the Tecra M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, S1, S2

  • Cannot use scanner on my Tecra M10 finger print

    Hi all

    I have a toshiba tecra M10 PTMB1E laptop with fingerprint reader. IM on windows 7. now the problem I have is that I can't find any application program to run the fingerprint software? ive tried various software downloads of fingerprints on the toshiba site, but nothing works? If I check the devices drivers for the scanner are installed properly. If I type fingerprint in the box of files of research program, he is back with the following

    use your fingerprint with windows
    stop using your fingerprint with windows
    Maintain your fingerprint data
    Remove your fingerprints data
    biometric devices
    change the biometric parameters

    If I click on the first option, it takes me to an authentec page that says under construction? as if I'm going in "manage your fingerprint data?

    I can turn power biometrics, but nothing happens to start up, which allows me to use my fingerprints?

    If I go to the peripheral page biometric in the hardware section it says im not registered? If I click the link highlighted blue 'use your fingerprint with windows' it only take back me to this page of AUTHENTEC .com? and all that is under construction with different links page?

    scanners still used these laptops with windows more? or sector support windows?

    Hello

    On the page of the Toshiba UE driver you can find the fingerprint software and uninstall of fingerprints (this tool is needed to remove the fingerprint reader software)

    You need the software of fingerprint...
    ... more I recommend checking this docuemtn Toshiab concerning the use of the fingerprints:

  • Tecra M10 of the fan is always on

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Tecra M10 for a few days now, and compared to my previous laptop, I notice a very different behavior of the fan. The fan of my old Pro L10 of Satellite used to turn off unless the system is really hot. It is around 55 to 60 ° C. But now, with my Tecra, the fan starts as soon as the system starts up and never stops. This happens even on a cold start. It seems that the BIOS triggers the fan, as it happened also during the installation of Windows Vista and Windows XP. Certainly, it is not focused on the OS. Even when I have the CPU clock to 798 MHz and set the cooling method to maximize the life of the battery, the fan is running and.

    After watching the temperatures, it turned out that my CPU(-cores) worked at 30 ° C, and my hard drive was running at 35 ° C. The hottest thing was the NVIDIA Quadro NVS 150 M, at 40 ° C. So you mean that the fan is working to cool the GPU. However, as I wrote above, fans don't always run, even if all of the computer is under 20 ° C.
    So I have two questions, and I hope that everyone can answer that for me.
    First of all I would like to know if there are other users of the Tecra A10/M10 who experience the same "problem" as I do. Can he be considered a defect, or is - this normal?

    And second, if it's quite normal, is there a way to turn the fan "always you"-thing off in the BIOS? As I am blind I can't verify this for me, so I would like to know if this is possible, before asking a friend or compared to help me.
    I ask all this because the noise of the fan that bothers me, but simply because I want the best squeesh out of my battery.

    Thanks in advance!

    The fan changes speed? Or it's a constant speed of 100% of the time?

    Try to update the BIOS first. You can download the latest version of the BIOS on Toshiba website in the support/downloads section.

    I don't think there is a setting "always on" in the BIOS.

    If a BIOS update does not help, you must send it to a Service Center authorized to check the functionality of the fan.

  • Tecra M10 cannot install OS using disc SSD Kingston

    Hi all.

    I am a computer tech and can usually find a way to fix something myself, (rock Google!).

    But recently I had a Kingston SSDNOW 64 GB drive and decided to install in my Tecra M10 age of 12 months. 4 weeks ago I had a full head of hair, now I am completely bald.

    The drive is recognized in the BIOS, but whenever I try to install Windows on it, I get nothing. I tried the recovery DVDs XP, recovery DVDs Vista The, the "free" upgrade Windows 7 recovery DVD, and a DVD Vista & Windows 7 retail. I can't drive to be recognized to install Windows.

    I can copy the existing disk image, but it starts the splash screens and blue. Normally I think that driver RAID or hard disk controller, but Kingston assures me that there is no requirement on the one hand, (and a standard SATA drive does not require a, I tried).

    I checked and installed the latest version of the BIOS for laptop. There is no update available for the SSD firmware. So I find myself with a laptop that always uses a slow, (relatively) hard drive and a very pretty silver rectangular Clipboard.

    Can anyone think of anything whatsoever that I missed. Anyone working for Toshiba can tell me if there is a BIOS update for this problem (I search the forum and found many people who are struggling for SSDS working in Toshiba laptops)?

    The sad thing is that the former other laptop I got for my son accepts the player and works fine!
    I had many prefer to buy Toshiba, but I want SSD technology rather sooner than later, and if Toshiba does not go to support, I might have to change of Lenovo or Acer.

    Rob.

    > Normally I would RAID driver or controller hard drive, but Kingston assures me that there is no requirement on the one hand, (and a standard SATA drive does not require one, I tried).

    I think you have misunderstood something the SSD drive does not need SATA drivers BUT the fact the OS (Win XP, Vista or Win 7)!

    The SATA drivers are needed to recognize the HDD/SSD under Windows OS.
    New generation of portable supports the new SATA controllers that require SATA drivers.

    You will find on the European driver Toshiba Intel Storage Manager page

    Intel Storage Manager contains the SATA drivers that are required to install the OS.
