Satellite 5100/201: trouble with video card or overheat?

Hy,
I'm experiencing trouble with video on a Satellite 5100/201. It seems that when I press on the left side above the graphics card or press a key on the keyboard on that side, the screen starts to be scrambled and vertical lines appear. At the end windows XP resets giving a critical error on the device and the video passes to 640x480. Same thing occurs when running Linux Suse 9.0.
My doubt is what is the cause: the graphics card corrupted or overheating due to the fan not as efficient as originally (my laptop is almost two years old. Did someone succed in finding the cause and resolved the problem, also with the Toshiba assistance?
Any help welcome.

Hi,
I don't think so that Toshiba has problems with the design. You are talking about two different models with two different hardware and for different user profiles!
The 1900 is a Desktop replacement notebook with "desktop" components like processors and the Satellite 5000 is a Multimedia notebook!
Hint: If you had not done it yet, perhaps you could install the graphic card driver once again. If this don't helps, it is the best way to recover the notebook with the Toshiba CD. (this set the notebook to software default settings and the notebook should be work)
Bye Bob

Satellite L755-16J - Trouble with sound card

I currently own a Toshiba *Satellite L755-16J* and it is having some sort of trouble with the sound card, i think.
When i bought it, it came with windows 7, i changed the windows to windows 8 and since then the audio has been troubling me.
The internal speakers work for a minute or two when i play an audio file but then stop working.
i had been using an external usb soundcard and external speakers for some time but decided to switchback to windows 7 for the sound to work properly again. even though i have switched back to win 7, the sound still doesnt work.
I am quite sure that the problem is not in the internal speakers because they do work, although just for a brief moment but they work, so i am guessing the problem is in the software instead of the hardware.
i tried updating the sound drivers but they seem to be up to date, according to windows the drivers "seem to be working properly"
Can anyone help?

> even though i have switched back to win 7, the sound still doesnt work.
How did you do that?
Did you use the Toshiba Recovery Disk in order to install Win 7 or did you install the Win 7 using fresh and clean Windows 7 disk?
The notebook supports Conexant sound chip. The sound driver is available on the Toshiba EU driver page and in case the sound chip is already recognized in device manager after the sound driver installation, I assume the driver has been installed properly.
In such case I would recommend you to connect the headphones.
In case the headphones would function properly, the speakers might be affected. I mean the hardware. But of course its only an idea.
Beside the headphone check, you could check also the settings within the control panel -> sound -> playback tab.
Usually the speakers should be set as default device.
Check this option too.

Satellite A500-1GH problem with video card (I think...)

Hello,
I am having a problem with my A500-1GH. Randomly the monitor goes black and then recovers by showing a message "display driver stopped responding and has successfully recovered". My graphics card is the Nvidia GeForce 330. I read a lot, but all the opinions were old - from the beginning if the year, and no one seems to had solved this problem then. Do you know if now there is a solution for this?
The laptop is brand new (respectively the windows is brand new) and the drivers and bios are up to date.
Thank you in advance :)

hi,
Yeah, it is known problem with vga driver in this forum. As you already said yourself no one seems to had solved this problem :( I can just recommend you to try to install a vga driver from nvidia.com. In my case, i have nvida Gt 230 M, driver update solved it.

I'm having trouble with video imported from my camera memory card.

I'm having trouble with video imported from my camera memory card.The video breaks up and pixelizes when it's directly imported from the memory card. That makes the video useless. Why does this happen? It doesn't do that in any other video editing software. Thanks for the help.

More info please:
Type of camera?
Was the card formatted in the camera doing the shooting?
Type of files the camera is set to record?

Tried a battery removed CMOS clear and reset after the UEFI/BIOS update? Tested with another PSU? Tried with just one RAM stick in the primary dimm slot, or with just two sticks?
Results
1 Stick DDR3 - Freezes in "Starting Windows" screen when video card (HD 7850) installed. Still works correctly with Integrated.
1 Stick DDR3 + swapping out CoolerMaster 500 Watt PSU for "Power" 500 Watt PSU - Freezes in "Starting Windows" screen with video card. Using Integrated video, works correctly.
This is on an unflashed H67A-G43 (B3) new out of the box.

Satellite 2450-201: Cannot format 4GB card in SD card slot

Hello,
I´m a Satellite 2450-201 owner and I have a big problem.
I just bought a 4GB SD memory card and nice, it fits on the side slot on my notebook.
It's the first time using the memory card, so a needs-to-format window appears when I try to access.
The Window has the right information : 3.78Gb, Fat32, ...
I Click "OK" and the Windows (XP SP2) informs : cannot complete format (here is portuguese, so it's translated to english)
If the right size is informed , 3.78Gb, why the Windows cannot format ?
My notebook is spyware and virus free (just 23 tasks running and under control), I Have SP2, Bios 1.50 (newer), My SD controller drivers is up-to-date (the last and the only one was released in 2003).
Also tried third party "Panasonic SDFormatter 2.0". It's reporting the unit (hardware) or the mem stick SD is not compatible with the program. And the same effect happens : the Sd unit lost the nice icon and I need to remove/insert the SD to see the same story again.
Help me please, friends.

Hi
Its very strange that youre possible to see the SD card after plug-in. some people has suggested that this SD card slot supports only 256MB, 512MB cards and additionally with no MMC support.
I dont know if you have Toshiba SD card format utility installed on the laptop but on many Tosh notebooks such utility is preinstalled and could be used for the card formatting.
According to some posting in this forum the format utility of Portg M400 could handle the 2GB SD cards but not sure about 4GB.
If possible you could try to install this utility on your notebook but you know you have not big chances that this will work.
I think in such case only a external SD card reader will help you.

Trouble with Ati cards - new with recent update.

Hi folks
I have been using Arch for > 3 yrs now and it has been a work horse. I installed it on kids computer over a year ago and has been trouble free. Recently I did a sync and since then the xorg started giving problems.
I have a Ati Radeon 7000 PCI video card on it. It worked with out any trouble till recently. Now it starts ok but every few seconds or so screen goes completely blank and then reappears. Nothing in the logs and no complaints even when I start xinit/startx from command line.
It appears as if monitor connection was loose if I did not know that was not a problem. It is most pronounced when ever there is a lot of screen refresh to do, such as a menu item sprang open a lot of submenus, a new window opened or closed and so on. However this is pretty much disabling because you can;t see anything on the screen for long enough to use it.
I tried changing the driver, installed Catalyst - eventhough catalyst works ok, it's resolution is lower and looks poor ? I tried removing all the usb peripherals and tried one by one with the same problem persisting. Installed a clean Arch on another partition and as soon as radeon driver was installed it started giving same problems. I tried latest puppy and despite installing radeon driver it still worked fine and did not flicker like Arch. However I don't like puppy for this purpose and hope to maintain Arch.
Is there a way of figuring out what causes these flickers and rectify it. I put PCI=nomsi on kernel command line to turn off kernel mode setting. Tried /etc/modprobe.d/radeon.conf with modesetting=off, tried removing stuff off from /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/*. None of these made much difference.
Any help greatly appreciated.
sk

I kind of solved it for now.
Try " X -configure" to create a new xorg.conf.new file and move it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
Edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf and under the video card section put a
Option "NoAccel" "On"
At the least it is not driving me crazy with blinking and flickering.

Power Mac G5 dual 2.0ghz (late june 2004) - trouble upgrading video card

Hi, I'd really appreciate any help. I have a PowerPC G5 Tower, dual 2.0 GHz, DVI/AGP version (June 2004 model) with 8gb ram. I recently got the Apple 30" monitor and wanted to run it along side my 20" apple monitor, so I bought the ATI Radeon 9650 dual dvi video card (ATI-G5-9650 Power Mac G5 ATI Radeon 9650 Supports 30" Display 256MB (DVI/DVI) (8X AGP) Video Card). I pulled out my previous video card from the AGP slot and inserted this one into the same slot. I turned on the machine and plugged in both monitors to the dvi ports and both screens were blank when I booted. I tried plugging in only one of the monitors, but again, just blank. Does this mean the card is bad? Did I put it in the right slot?
Any advice would be helpful. Thanks

I'm installed an update, not 100% if it was the correc thing to update, but it was all I could find. I went to the ATI site and downloaded the ATI Displays 4.5.7.dmg and installed that as well as the ATI 10.3.6 SW Update.dmg. This was from the ATI site at: http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.HTML
Is there another place or something specific for the 9650 that I need to download?
thanks

G505 problems with video cards.

Lenovo G505, 59-419907, AMD A6-5200, AMD Radeon R5 M230
I suffer second day. I downloaded a lot of different drivers.
several times reinstalled windows 8.1.
after installing windows in my Device Manager, there is a Standard VGA Graphics Adapter and unknown video device
when I try to install vga drivers from the Lenovo site, or from the AMD site, both graphics card become with the error icon
- Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
Catalyst does not see the video card with an error
if I'm disable in the BIOS a discrete video card everything is OK.
as soon as I'm in the BIOS to turn on an external video card in the device manager both cards an error.
I tried to put the first driver on the onboard video card and then on the outside. nothing helps.
please help me before I killed myself.

Hi,
I have a same problem, I bought g505 (bios 3.00) but the wifi not work after few days. I think upgrade the bios, but on the official website was 2.04 version (i not understand, because i have 3.00, i think "downgrade" it), now my bios is 2.04 but the switchable graphics not work, only other option (i not remember it, maybe UMA) work, and I can't finde the 3.00 bios.
Thank for the answer, and sorry my English

A705w-Trying to Play Call of Duty 2, error with video card

i get the error message that i dont have the right video card and that the computer hasn't initialized right.
Can i go out and buy another graphics card that will support the game? or should i just buy i new computer. I'd rather just get a graphics card instead of spending a lot of money on a new computer. I went to the website www.canirunit.com which did let me know if my computer was capable of running COD 2, it said that the CPU speed wasn't fast enough and that my graphics card wasn't good enough.
let me know what i should do!

Thanks Jack Black, but I'm afraid the problem is that my Display Driver is not compatible with DirectX 9.0c. The Call of Duty 2 game installs in my computer the Directx 9.0c application, so I do not need to download the program from Microsoft website. However, in spite of having the Directx 9.0c installed in my laptop, it still does not run because I guess the Display driver should be compatible with the new version of DirectX.

Hi,
10.4.1 Really ?
Which OS level and which Updates ?
Your post suggests that you are at least at 10.4.7 when the logs were introduced.
What Error log number appears in the second paragraph if you open the Reveal Triangle on the arrival of the Pop up to send to Apple ?
Or in Home Folder/Library/Logs/iChatConnectionErrors is where old logs are stored.
We don't need the bits after the line Binary Images for iChat

I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

Help with Video Card Install on Solaris 8

I have a video card with nvidia4 chipset. After installing solaris 8 on my system I get a screen that is too big to fit on the monitor, so I have to scroll down to see everything. Plus it displays 16 colors. I tried to install the FreeBSD drivers that are availble on the nvidia site but could not run "make" command. Anyone know how to solve this?

There are two options:
1. Install the latest Solaris 8 x86 video driver patch109401-14
available at:
http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/show.pl?target=patches/xprod-Solaris_x86IntelDrivers&nav=pub-patches
This may add native support for your nvidia chipset. If it doesn't,
then you have the option to try the new VESA driver which is
included with this patch as well - the VESA driver is supposed to work
on all cards that have the necessary VESA support bios routines.
2. Install the "Solaris XFree86 Video Drivers and Porting Kit"
http://soldc.sun.com/developer/support/driver/tools/video/video-index.html
It adds support for many video cards by using XFree 4.2.0 video
driver modules. It also includes another variant of the VESA driver.
