Catalyst drivers update for Satellite L850-150

Hi,
I've bought a Toshiba Satellite L850-150 (AMD Radeon HD 7670M) 3 days ago and I don't know if getting angry with AMD for restricting their drivers or with Toshiba for not updating their own drivers.
Can you give me a technical reason for making your laptops incompatible with the generic AMD drivers?
I thought an AMD Radeon HD 7670M was an AMD Radeon HD 7670M in a Toshiba, in an ASUS, in an Acer, etc. If you do your laptops incompatible with other drivers, at least, mantain your own drivers up to date.

Well, I have an other notebook from and I can update its ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 with AMD drivers.

The graphics card of my ASUS is in perfect state and it has 4 years, always with updated drivers. Come on, are you going to say to me that driver updates are dangerous to the hardware? I thought they were updated to improve performance and stability without risking the integrity of the hardware.What you are saying is a stupidity, why updating drivers would be harmful to hardware?
Overclocking is dangerous and can burn my graphics card, but I'm talking about drivers, UPDATED DRIVERS, to make the hardware work better (performance and security).

  • Incorrect processor drivers updated for Satellite L850-138 (PKSDLE)

    Today i'm trying to update my processor drivers (2nd generation Intel i5 processor, i5-2450m), but updated drivers for this model AREN'T CORRECT, they're for 3rd generation Intel processors with Intel HD Graphics devices. It's impossible to update drivers of this model!
    Repeat: Incorrect display drivers for intel processor with model Toshiba Satellite L850-138!!
    It's very important to be solved soon!

    > Intel's setup was launched directly but it said my computer doesn't is compatible hardware
    This is exactly what I meant you will not be able to install the driver by executing the exe file!
    The driver need to be installed via device manager:
    1. Open Control Panel.
    2. In the upper left portion of the Control Panel dialog, click on the words "Classic View" to cause Control Panel to switch to Classic View mode.
    3. Double-click the Personalization icon, and - after the Personalization dialog appears - double-click the Display Settings option.
    4. Click the Advanced Settings button at the Display Settings dialog.
    5. At the Adapter tab of the Advanced Settings dialog, write down the exact name of the adapter type that is currently in use. This may be important in case you ever want to switch back to that driver.
    6. After jotting down the name of the existing adapter type, click Properties. If Windows asks for permission, click Continue.
    7. Click the Driver tab, and click the Update Driver button.
    8. Windows will ask whether you want to search automatically or browse for driver software. Choose the "Browse my computer for driver software" option.
    9. At the next dialog that appears, click the "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer" option.
    10. A list of video drivers will appear, and you should scroll down and select Standard VGA Graphics Adapter. Click Next after making the selection.
    11. Once Windows reports that it has successfully updated your driver software, you can click either Close and/or Ok as many times as you need to close all open Control Panel dialogs. If, during this process, Windows asks whether you want to restart your computer for the changes to take effect, click Yes.

  • Are there any graphic driver updates for Satellite L850-162

    Are there any driver updates available for the L850-162?
    I'm just running with the ones that came installed with the laptop but the display is pixellated and jumpy when watching video.
    Any help/advice would be much appreciated

    Sat L850-162 is a part of the PSKDGE and it has been equipped with an Intel HD (INTEL HM76) Express chipset (graphic chip)
    There are more Toshiba series which use the same chipset so you could also use the drivers released for such notebook models.
    For example:
    C850 PSKC8E
    C855 PSKC8E
    C870 PSC8EE
    L830 PSK84E
    L870 PSKBGE
    P850 PSPKBE
    and others
    At least you could also try to use the Intel HD HM76 driver from the Intel page.

  • ATI drivers update for Satellite M30X-128

    Hi
    My Ati mobility radeon 9700 drivers are from August 2004. Where can I find an update?

    All available Toshiba drivers can be found on the Toshiba European driver page.
    If you cannot find a newer driver release as from August 2004 then a newer version is not available.
    However, sometimes another Toshiba notebooks are equipped with the same graphic card try to check another series which were equipped with the same graphic chip and check if an newer graphic driver version is available
    Good luck

  • Where can i download Intel HD driver update for Satellite A660-1en?

    Where can i download Intel HD driver update for satellite a660-1en?
    (i can't install windows 7 sp1)
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2505743

    >cant insall last driver from intel(they told me that i must download new driver from Toshiba
    It is possible to install the driver from Intel but you have to do this is device manager!
    You have to FORCE windows choosing the downloaded driver and this can be done using the advanced installation procedure. This helps to choose the driver from Intel and to finish the installation!

  • Installing system driver update for Satellite P75-A7200

    I am trying to install system driver 1.01.0002, but it stops after the unpack and gives a message like "an older version is installed, uninstall the older version."  I've looked in add/remove programs and device manager, I can't find where to uninstall the old system driver.  Anyone know how to uninstall system driver? Thanks Edit: Not sure I posted in the correct forum, but I tried this after upgrading to win 10.  I'm not sure if that is related to the problem, however.

    Drivers update for mobile machines is pretty limited and it is big difference between mobile machines and desktops.
    Due to specific design and cooling system that machine has GPU must be under control. With new driver GPU can offer more performance but result is more heat that can be dangerous for notebooks hardware.
    This is the reason why notebook manufacturers don't offer such updates and offer just adapted display drivers. If you try to download driver from GPU manufacturer directly there is always a indication to use driver from notebook manufacturers support page.

  • Where can I find a BIOS update for Satellite A200-14D (PSAEC)

    Hello,
    Where can I find a BIOS update for this model?
    My bios is 23/10/07 Windows Vista 32 Bit 1.80-WIN

    Hi
    Did you check the Toshiba European driver page?
    There you could find all drivers and BIOS for the Satellite A200-14D (PSAEC)
    But I checked the page and the BIOS 1.8 for Win Vista 32bit is still the newest one.
    Seems you are already up to date buddy ;)

  • Drivers update on Satellite A660-11m

    Hello guys
    My first time to buy Toshiba and it looks nice but I found problems that i don't know how to deal with them Toshiba Bulletin Board ask me to install new drivers a lot of times which I follow 1 by 1 to the end when i download the drivers after installing them didn't work and keep doing the same every time asked me for same drivers.
    Since I bought it i got hate from the keyboard on the left side where caps key and s w d a q keys is it normal not sure
    how to tweak my computer make it better because I feel my computer trying to save some power and I always use my computer at home where plug to wall .
    I feel my computer is slow and I have I7 not sure why .

    Hello
    First of all I have to say that you can ignore such driver update messages. If you dont notice any problems you can still use the old drivers.
    For power saving you should use the Eco-Mode on your notebook. As far as I know Satellite A660 has an Eco key and if you press it, Eco Utility will start and save energy.
    Furthermore the preinstalled Windows 7 from Toshiba is already configured for best compatibility and good performance. You can install and do what you want, everything is configured properly. :)

  • Where can I find a BIOS update for Satellite A100-200 (PSAA8E)

    Hello,
    Where can I find a BIOS update for this model?
    The BIOS on the download page is November last year, is there anything newer or does anyone know of an update that is compatible?
    Thanks,
    Ian

    Yep, newest updates and drivers for your notebook you will find on the Toshiba download pages, as Jimi already mentioned.
    Just as a little hint from my side is, that if there is nothing wrong with your notebook, just leave it as it is.
    As there is the saying, never touch a running system.
    So keep that in mind. ;)

  • 1.90 BIOS Update for Satellite A215-S7437 doesnt work

    I tried updating to the latest BIOS 1.90 on my Satellite A215-S7437 laptop but i found out that it froze at saying it was reading Old Bios, i let it sit still for 2 hours and then i did a hard shutdown. Then rebooted laptop, thankfully i did not bricked it had i done so my motherboard would be useless or would it?  My knowledge about BIOSes is limited but i do know something didnt go right.  Well only reason i was updating was because i saw that it added compatibility with Windows 7 and i plan to get Windows 7.  So is it worth the risk or would i be fine installing Windows 7 without the latest update which introduces 2.1 slic.
    Also is there a way to check if my old bios didnt get affected, i mean i know laptop is working right now but who knows. If my Bios ever gets bricked what would i do to fix it?
    BTW this is the update that i found not to work for me. Even though its for my model of laptop.

    If it's working correctly your old bios wasn't affected.  Since if froze while READING the bios it hadn't had time to actually write any new information yet.  That is what saved you.  If it had frozen while WRITING the new data it would have required sending it in to Toshiba for a repair.  If you decide to update the bios again you need to read the instructions for flashing From the bootable BIOS installation CD-ROM.  That is a MUCH safer way to accomplish this.  ALso make sure you are running on AC power.  NEVER FLASH WHILE ON BATTERY POWER although you do want the battery installed.
    I wouldn't update it unless you have to.  Wait to see if Windows 7 is NOT able to install or activate.  This is especially true if your system is out of warranty as you'll have to pay to get it fixed.
    If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

  • Final Cut Express AVCHD support update for Panasonic HMC-150 / HMC-151

    Hi,
    There has recently been an update for FCS for compatibility with this new camera from Panasonic. However, FCE has not been updated. Are there any plans to update FCE in a similar way?
    Many thanks,
    Stuart

    Hi Tom,
    Thanks for the reply. I hadn't thought of it like that, but you may well be right.
    I guess I'd better put FCS on my Xmas list.
    By the way, I taught myself FCE using your book in about 2 weeks, very helpful! Thanks!

  • Satellite L850-150 LCD screen swap to another with more resolution?

    Hi,
    I'm owner of a Toshiba L850-150, with a screen resolution of 1,366 x 768 and i want to know if is possible to swap the Lcd screen to another with more resolution, lets say one panel capable of display full HD 1920*1080 resolution.
    I think the graphics card has enough power to handle it. (No gaming intended)

    Thanks PauPau.
    I choosed the L850-150 because of the high processor power and dedicated midrange gpu to use mainly with Deejay / Veejay apps.
    While you are playing live in a gig you cant really tell the difference between HD and FullHD in a 15" screen, but at home is more noticeable.
    My point is to swap the lcd panel with another Toshiba compatible with more resolution when warranty ends, and to sell mine in ebay.
    I usually connect a projector to the vga port, so i cant take the external monitor option easily.
    It seems that no laptop in the L850 and P850 Series uses a Full HD panel, that would make things easier.
    So to be more specific my question would be if is it possible to swap lcd panels with a more resolution one from a 15,6" Toshiba of another series (mine is 1,366 x 768)
    Thanks in advance

  • BIOS Update for Satellite A300/600

    Hi all,
    I have a Satellite A300/600 (PSAG4A-02600M), which I have just installed W7 x64 on (I did a clean install). I am upgrading the drivers as per the Toshiba website. I noticed there is a BIOS upgrade to version 1.8 - I am currently running version 1.5.
    I have downloaded the update but when I try to run it I get the following message: "C:\Users\HELIF~1\AppData\Local\Temp\isc6632tmp\\i nsydeflash.exe could not be executed."
    The PC is running fine at the moment, no major glitches - do I need V1.8? If so, how do I remedy this situation?
    Other glitches so far in the upgrade process for me have been:
    Every time I pressed the mute button W7 UAC popped up to ask me if I wanted to allow the Toshiba program to adjust a system setting. Fixed this issue by moving the ButtonSetting.ini file and making a registry change.
    Loaded Windows Live Photo Gallery. When I inserted my XD card from my camera, W7 recognised it just fine, but WLPG could not see it. Therefore I am unable to import my photos off the card. Well, I can do it through W7 but WLPG gives you the options of fine tuning the import process which is what I'm after. Tried uninstalling/reinstalling WLPG after I'd installed all the drivers from Toshiba but it still won't recognise it. Still an issue.
    Lastly, in relation to WLPG, I can't seem to download Image Composite Editor, whenever I try the link to the download (ftp or html), Firefox just displays a blank page with "waiting for research.microsoft.com". Trying to find an alternative site to download it off but no luck thus far.
    That's it so far, any help would be appreciated.
    Message was edited by: helifella - added one more issue...

    Thanks for the advice. Won't be touching the BIOS any more.
    Think I found a solution to the WLPG problem = Picasa! No, but seriously, I will try the Windows or Windows Live forums when I get the opportunity. I must say I did like the face recognition in Picasa, makes tagging people pretty easy. If only tags were more standardised like audio tags (okay, I know there are a few formats but they're pretty good) so when I imported the photos I had already tagged in WLPG they were recognised by Picasa - grr.
    Anyway, thanks again, case closed.
