Tecra M2: Can play a game of the graphics card?

It seems that play Flight Simulator could destroy the graphics card on the laptop! I never thought this would be possible. I gave a friend my old Tecra M2 (as a wedding gift) which he also uses to play FS9. A few years ago, he had to have the motherboard replaced (Fortunately it's still under warranty then) because it has become defective. This has happened while he was playing FS9. I never thought that at that time.

It seems like the same problem comes up again, but this time the laptop isn't under warranty anymore. Nothing has been changed on the video card to "accelerate" or "chip" or another - it is standard at the factory. The latest drivers are installed for the Nvidia GeForce FX Go5200 32 M / 64 M and the portable computer has 1 GB of RAM (and a lot of space on the HARD disk).

At startup, the Toshiba logo has green vertical lines. The Windows logo also has the same symptoms, the vertical lines. I was able to boot in safe mode, a few times, then it started normally (I was onto a winner of thought), but now it seems just blue screen and reboot after Windows Logo (even if I didn't no reset in case of failure). After the reboot, I got a blue screen (BSOD not usual) with the next STOP: 0x0000007E (0xC0000005, 0 x 01010101, 0xF7911378, 0xF7911074).

Any ideas? I'd be really upset if I found out that a game could physically cause a motherboard to replace on a laptop! If this is true, can someone tell me how to prevent it in the future? I have a Tecra M3 and I don't want to happen to me either!

Thank you!

Hi mate,

the fact is that I would NEVER play FS9 even on my machine which is a Pentium 4 3.0 Ghz with 1 GB of RAM and a geforce 7800GS.
Flight Simulator 9 needs AS many system resources and in your case it s like you take 500 tons of steel and throw on a single donkey.

The M2 is a pure business machine and not scheduled to play these games like FS9 needing beasts of machines to run * correctly *. Maybe the older games are playable, but I think that it s right that FS9 could probably damaged your graphics unit (overheating).
You won´t move swap the motherboard and let your FS9 fingers when you hold an M2 or M3 or a set of non-game in your hands.

The man, who is ill, the poor M2 then FS9... :D

Clear from the statement to me: Yes, a game CAN probably damage a portable system, but not for sure! And an M2/M3 is not to play these games. Rather spent the money for a system with a Geforce 8600 Core2Dou or something similar.

Welcome them

  • E5 - 573G laptop 56RG breaks down when you try to play a game with the Nvidia GeForce 940 M processor.

    Whenever I try to play a game using the Nvidia card on the laptop Aspire E5 56RG - 573 G computer goes to a blue screen and gives the error "Video_Schedular_Internal_error" before restarting.

    All the games that I tried to run by using the processor 940 m 7200LE crashed the PC.

    Minecraft, Star Trek Online, dungeons and Dragons Online and Neverwinter all crash as soon as the game is loading all the graphics. All the games work very well using the processor 5500 on-board Intel HD graphics but way less detailed than the 940 m from Nvidia is capable of.

    I've updated to the latest Nvidia drivers twice now (Oct and Nov references) with the help of installs clean. I also tried the Nvidia driver on the support page from Acer for the serial number of this PC. I've updated to the last update of the bios on the page of Support as well. Again, the PC crashes when you try to play a game using the Nvidia graphics processor.

    My operating system is windows 10.

    Most of the error information I could find said it is a driver problem or I have a faulty video card. Any suggestion or help would be appreciated.

    Cerealkiddo on Nvidia forums has found a real solution to the problem.

    1. download MSI Afterburner.

    2. change the base to-13 clock and clock from memory to-15.

    3. save in a profile and apply the changes.

    Make sure you only keep afterburner running everything at stake.

    This is Underclocks not GPU slightly and stops the BSOD hangs.

    I played Skyrim for about 4 hours now maxed out graphic with map selected Nvidia and he collapsed once, while before this fix, it would break the pc after 2 minutes of play on any parameter using the nvidia card.

    Keep Afterburner running everything at stake. I turned it off to test and games went immediately to crashing after a few minutes of play. He turned back and was able to play games once again without any problems.

    Hi samuniv,

    As you can read in 100 other threads, it of not possible to replace the graphics card because it s fixed/soldered to the motherboard. Therefore, an Exchange is not possible.
    You should also check out this interesting article:

    According to the specifications of your laptop is equipped with an Intel GMA 4500 graphics card. The card is good for the office and Windows but it s not a graphics card for new 3D games. You can play older games on the low resolution of the screen, but newer games will not run.

  • Equium A100-027: is it possible to update the graphics card?

    I recently received an Equium A100-027 for my birthday. Overall I am very happy with it, but the only problem I have is with the graphics card. I'm a gamer, and the graphics card just can't handle more modern games.

    I am looking how to change, how much it cost etc. However I don't want to buy a graphics card just to realize that inside is locked. Since it's only a week I want to take a hammer to it right away ;-)

    Can someone tell me how it is difficult to upgrade the graphics card? It is locked, or easily accessible?

    Hello Eamonn

    Unfortunately, upgrading the graphics card is not possible. I'm don't know if you're familiar with cell phone technology, but you should know that graphics cards installed on laptop motherboards are not same as the GPU for desktop PC s s.

    The map is fixed and there is no way for an upgrade!
    You can upgrade the memory or HARD drive on laptop computers but not the graphics card!

    I also have a player m and I m a laptop owner but I don t use this device for games, but for a typical use like the internet, programming, members, etc.
    I have a second game machine and it s a desktop PC. It s supports a map of water cooling module and a really great graphics, but I'll change it to the a newer NVIDIA supports the directX10.
    It is a future and all new games will this DrectX10!

  • Recommendation for the graphics card?

    Can anyone help with what the graphics card, I need for smooth playback MP4?

    I begin barely using files of my new Sony NEX-5 mp4 and edit in PE and find that my computer will not play them without jerking (this is not really a problem of items that I have the same problem in Quicktime and other media players). Playing .avi files is fine. Can anyone recommend what graphics card I could buy to get a smooth playback? (I have the latest version of the driver for my old card and it is now classified as a legacy).

    Details:
    Windows XP Pro SP3
    Two Intel 3.2 GHz processors
    3.00 GB RAM
    ATI Radeon 9600 graphics card

    New card must be compatible with my Matrox RT. X 100 video card.

    Thank you very much

    MP4, as AVCHD files are highly compressed and take a LOT of power to play smoothly, because the CPU has to decompress the video images during playback of calculation

    That decompression is not made by the graphics card... your machine likely never has simply not enough power to play smooth... especially as is the case with all stakeholders

    Also, what is the configuration of your hard drive?

    My 3 hard disks are configured as... (WD = Western Digital)
    1-320G WD Win7 Pro 64 bit and all program installs
    2 - 320G WD Win7 file and video project files
    3 - 1 t WD all video files... read and write files
    .
    Try to use only a hard for video editing
    .
    You are a conductor with a stick that you use to point to different parts of the Orchestra... it is like Windows pointing to different parts of the hard disk to clean Windows or load segments of emissions for various functions
    .
    Now, at the same time and with the same hand... while using the wand to direct the Orchestra... to take a bow and play a violin... it would do something with your video file at the same time as all other work
    .
    You as a person cannot do both at the same time with the same hand
    .
    A computer is a LITTLE better, because it allows to switch from one type of task to another very quickly, but not quickly enough for easy video editing
    .
    A hard drive is not as good as two which is not as good as three

  • 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 A60: Can't play good games like the Sims 2

    Hello.
    I have a satellite A60 and im having problems with my display driver.

    I have the latest updates on everything, but I still can't play good games. Even the Sims 2 will slow down.

    Idecided to a cooler on the ati chipset (like some toshiba models) but I can't seem to put on, although his decision-making in the right place.

    so my question is:
    Why the video display is so slow? make my processor always on 99%
    Why the chipset cooling fan does not work?

    Thank you

    Hey Buddy

    I think you have misunderstood something. This issue has nothing to do with the version of the graphics driver you know?

    AFAIK the A60 Sat came with an ATI graphics card that supports only 32-64 MB shared memory!
    It is simply down to play new games with maximum performance!
    The graphics card shared graphics memory for main memory and this reduces the amount of main memory.

    Last but not least the CPU always runs with maximum performance during game!
    The CPU is highly requested, play games or run other applications of high performance.
    Who is normal!

  • How can I link to the top a game PS3 controller to my PC so I can play a game on it?

    Hello

    How can I link to the top a game PS3 controller to my PC so I can play a game on it? I recently bought Bioshock for PC and I can't get my PS3 DUALSHOCK controller to work.

    Thank you!

    You can not, not with a PS3 controller. Well, there is a way but you will need to run an emulation of sorts and it is not native, so you'll need to understand on your own. Otherwise the xbox controller is native with Win machines, then you want to try this for a plug and play solution.
