The satellite M60 display problems

Hello

I bought a satellite M60 a month ago, and since then, I've been strugling trying to solve a problem that has to do with the display (ATI 700 X mobility).
When I play some games (the dawn of war, Unreal tournament...) the computer freezes completely, I actually have to force stop it to restart.
Another problem, that I have seen is with Mixmeister Pro 6, the video playback is erratic, it is as if the computer is unable to handle any overload.

I tried the upgrade of drivers, nothing works, then I installed the third party Omega drivers, but once again, nothing to do.

Since the purchase of the M60, I had to correct problems of Wirless and PCMCIA card through driver updates, but there is nothing that I'm be able to do to resolve this display problem.

I am quite convinced it's a driver issue, but then again, nothing is certain.

If anyone can help me please I'm getting desperate.

Hello

Well, it's not easy to say why it happens but one of my friends has sometimes even appearance but on another unit. If he plays a high-performance games unity cling.
In my view, this could be a heating problem. Playing games is hard work for the laptop, because all parts (bars of memory, processor, graphics card, etc.) work with max performance and produce a lot of heat. Most laptops are not developed for this.

However, you should always use the graphics driver from Toshiba. I found the latest version of 15/07/05. It is a display 8.121.050.322A driver. In addition, you must install latest DirectX. I think that it s a 9.1. Check whether the fixes for these games are available.

Second, if video playback is erratic, it seems that the OS is fully committed.
In this case, you should check the processes that run in the background of the operating system.
In addition, try to defragment the HARD disk

Good bye

    Hi Axel

    My theory is that there may be some problem with button / stop himself (white metal under the button), or perhaps with several Planar cable wire.

    Also, for me it is definitely hardware problem. If you want, you can contact the partner of service allowed in your country and see what they have to say about it.

  • Satellite M60-162: problem gambling (game)

    Hello
    I bought a Satellite M60-162 to use for work and a bit of entertainment (including games).
    It happens that all types of game, I installed (Medal of honor, C & C Generals, Nba live 2005, MS Flight simulator 2004) breaks down when it is run (just click on 'play' and after a while, the game crashes). The installation program ends normally, but every game crashes.
    The only game that works is 'The elder scrolls III - Morrowind '.
    I have updated with patches - if available - all games without any profit.
    I also updated the graphics (Ati mobility radeon 700) driver and installed the DirectX 9 .0c. Nothing has changed.
    Finally, I ran a test for the graphics system (3D Mark 360) to check if there were hardware problems. All tests have passed.
    I don't know what I could do to remedy this situation.
    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Hello

    Believe me it's not easy to say why it happens.
    It could be a driver problem or a software problem (game). The only way to know why it happens is to test the device with different settings. Try using a lower screen resolution during the games. Try to change the game settings.

    Windows XP performance settings that affect the visual appearance of the operating system, most of the games have buried in their menus of Options graphic settings. The trick is to find them.

    I found a very useful and interesting article how to optimize the parameters of play for performance and looks. Please click the link:

  • The Satellite A200 display driver update do not work

    I tried to uppdate the displaydriver of my Satellite A200 (PSAE0). I downloaded from toshibas website. 7.14.10.1461 driver version. (vista 32 bit).
    But when I try to install the exe, I received a message that the computer do not have the minimi requirements to run the program.
    What could be the problem?

    I tried to update the driver removes I can't get any picture in WinTV, only sound. Used with the Hauppauge Nova-TD USB tv card.

    If you have installed some drivers Nova-TD or software I think you have screwed something.
    Achieve the clean OS install and you will see that you will need to install the driver to display without any problems.

    In my opinion it is certainly not a driver problem. The same driver, you can find in the recovery image and all proposed pilots are tested. So the problem must be something else.
    A few weeks ago I ve made some experiments on Satellite L500 nine friends. I tried to install the tuner TV USB Toshiba and Savvy TV software. Later, when I tried to run the software, I got message that laptop has not enough RAM or something like that.

    Something wrong with all this. Using other applications, everything works perfectly.

    So I think that there is something wrong with your software and additional hardware.

  • Random beep (1-2 sec) on the Satellite M60-182

    Hello

    Since I bought Satellite M60-182, I have a problem with a single long beep (1-2 sec) I hear from time to time. If I don't watch any divX movie to HARD drive beeps, but if I swith to any program or game I hear this annoying soung from time to time - a few times often (every 2-3 minutes) and one some time in the range of 10-15 min.
    never steady.

    This I hear however I cut his power.
    Is it possible that it's HDD, or do I have to pay attention to something else?

    Thank you in advance!

    Hello

    Strange noise. I read somewhere on a similar problem and the user suggested that this noise is coming from the HARD drive.
    We hope not, but maybe you will get a HARD disk head crash in the future.
    I recommend doing a backup of your important files daily.

    You can also try to test the new HARD drive and verify that the strange noise appears.

  • Satellite M60 - display driver

    Hello

    I have a problem with the game Hello Kitty, I get an error message from Windows with loading.
    I tried to installed Catalyst 5.13, I have the following message: error INF. Video driver not found
    I then downloaded on the last driver from Toshiba site 8.12, but once installed I still 6.14
    Have you an idea?

    Kind regards
    Pascal

    Hello

    If you want to install the graphics driver not Toshiba or even some updates very often happens that the driver installation is not possible. The Toshiba driver is designed to protect the equipment from the graphics card. If you want maximum performance, there is a risk of overheating and damaging equipment. Because of this, there is this error message (hardware not detected or things similar).

    In my opinion, you should use just Toshiba has designed a. Satellite M60 is fairly new unit with performance very good graphics card. I hope Toshiba will create some updates soon.

  • Satellite P100 - display problem after installing the Samsumg software

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba P100-PSPA3 and just bought a new external monitor Sincmaster from Samsung. I installed it yesterday and everything works fine, I just plug in and the laptop recognizes it as a second monitor. Then I noticed the monitor comes with a CD and they recommend you to install the components of this CD.

    I installed the driver and still works fine but then I installed a software called * Magic money *, it is said that I should make a new start, I did and the image comes in the second monitor, * my laptop screen is black.*
    Then I begin to try all the possible solution I had in my head. I open this Magic Tune, and he says that it s not compatible with my computer, so I uninstall it. I have downloaded the drivers from Nvidia, Toshiba, installed again and again doesn´t work.

    I prove with the nvidia settings and the West without change. NVIDIA doesn´t recognize my laptop as a monitor, screen it recognizes just the Samsumg Sincmaster.

    I looked for people with the same problem in other forums and a possible solution was to turn off the computer, remove the battery and press the power for a few seconds, trying to carry out the computer. I did and it didn t work.

    Someone here could give me a light? I m totally lost now and I have to work with my computer in the next few days!
    Thank you very much

    Hello

    This software is not known to me and it is important to say that notebook manufacturers may not support some third part software.

    I put t know if this software must be preinstalled but I'm sure you can use your external display without it. When the external display is connected, you can switch between the LCD and external monitor by using the FN + F5 key combination. If you want to extend the display outside a use Windows display settings. It should work. I tested several laptop Toshiba with a few different monitors in my office and I n t noticed no problem.

    Have you already solved your problem or you are still looking for the solution?

    I have a new new Satellite L850 running Windows 8.

When I put the laptop back to sleep by pressing the power button, then press it again to wake up to the top of the screen corrects itself.

    Any ideas on what is happening and how to fix it? All the drivers are up to date.

    After this time display is switched off (black)!

    But I can't wake up my laptop!
    I'm press any key or move the mouse, but the screen is always black!
    But laptop works!
    I can ping and then by network or remote access connection.

    It seems that Windows XP Home edition does not work perfectly on the new laptops designed Vista. Before you live your laptop try to change profile settings (extended battery) power and test the parameters of this profile.

  • Satellite L850 - display problems external 1080 p

    I did turn my laptop Satellite L850 via HDMI to an external monitor without problem for many months.

    A couple of weeks, I tried to update the catalyst driver and have had problems since.
    Basically now when I select mode 1080 p via the Catalyst Control Panel, it makes the screen flash and present vertical lines.

    Occasionally, it will work for a short time, even up to a full day and it will randomly start once again. I can play a game in 1080 p mode and it will be totally random, sometimes which allows me to play for hours without having the screen flashes black while the other times, it starts flashing constantly and the only way to fix it is to reboot or pull the HDMI cable and plug back and cross your fingers you have enough time to reopen the catalyst and change in 720 p which is always stable.

    I tried:

    1 using the AMD catalyst removal tool and resettlement through the catalyst of origin Toshiba drivers factory default
    2. use to restore the system to go back before I made the changes
    3 using the removal tool from AMD Catalyst and update to the latest version via the site Web of AMD.
    4 reinstall my chipset with #1 drivers
    5 tried another monitor (still happens)

    On a side note, whenever I use the removal tool it removes my USB drivers too and I have to reinstall.

    The current graphics driver is AMD Radeon HD 7670 M and I also tried the solution on here http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/item/781 tech support forum.

    I ran out of options other than a full format and reinstall I want to avoid if possible. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    The AMD Catalyst (control software) update would not solve the issue.
    You need to update the graphics driver too!
    The graphics card driver can be uninstalled in Device Manager!

    I found also this Toshiba document to similar topic which appeared after the phone woke from sleep mode.
    [After sleep mode, a distorted image or a split screen may be displayed: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB3903IB0000R01.htm]

    This problem was caused by the display AMD. V9.12.0.0 driver, which was automatically installed through the Windows Update feature.

    Download and install the driver of Toshiba page of European driver that should solve the issue of the line

  • Satellite A660 - display problems, very dark display

    Hello

    I'm at the end of help please.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A660 PSAW3A-07P00R.

    recently, it has been very, very dark display on the screen, almost impossible to see.
    I tried the following the problem solved.

    1. set the brightness to the MAX in the operating system, power management, etc.
    2 reset the BIOS to default settings.
    3. set the brightness to the MAX on the laptop brightness settings.
    4. check the external display via a VGA cable. tested ok.
    5. I bought a new LED 16 "screen but the new screen has the same problems. If I understand correctly, LED screens (1 data cable video on the bottom of the screen to connect to the motherboard) have the "inverter" built into the display, so appears not to be a problem of map display, brightness or graphics. I would be fair to assume that this is related to the data cable from the screen? If Yes, is a piece that can come from Toshiba? or something easily fixable?

    is there something easy, I missed, or something I have not tried?
    has anyone else experienced this problem and solved?

    Thank you in advance.

    > I would be fair to assume that this is related to the data cable from the screen? If Yes, is a piece that can come from Toshiba? or something easily fixable?

    As much as I know there is no FL inverter then, or you can override the display or the cable (LCD/FL)
    LVDS cable) with a new one and the test shows again.
    I found a compatible: K000103140 LVDS CABLE

  • Starting on the Satellite L series problems

    Hello :)

    I realize that my English is not good. I'm Polish.

    1. I have a strange problem with my Satellite. First of all; A few weeks ago that he was not able to start if it was left alone all night. I could turn on it and loading on a black screen for a few seconds with a small white line in the upper corner of the screen... then the display shows "ERROR of READING", what is this strange error? Well... If I tried to restart three or four times, it worked ok after rebooting. When I left the pc intact longer, the error occurred again.

    2. after that, I did the format of this partition. The problem appeared again. in fact, Windows started ok for each test, but the first time in the day, it was still very very long.

    3. I did a surface scan of the disk using HD Tune and other simillar programs. All the bricks were green, no bad sectors were found.

    4. today, I tried to do a format a few times (recovery console). Some of these tests failed because the laptop froze 100% right when the command line appeared (C:\)

    I hope someone can help me... I hope that I won't need to repair it under warranty.

    Hello lidia,

    Looks like the hard drive has an intermittent fault. "Read error" usually indicates a hardware failure of the disc.

    Say you that the unit is under warranty, so take it to a repair center. Repairs shouldn't cost anything.
