Display driver error while playing games on Satellite P100-387 PSPA3E

Hi,
I have a Satellite P-100 387 PSPA3E notebook (with Nvidia 7600 GO 256 MB) and no matter what game I play I get a stop error-blue screen of death all the time and must restart.
It happens while I play either "Command & Conquere-Tiberium Wars" or "Warcraft III" (which can run on ANY low end machine).Did the BIOS update and got the latest display driver from Toshiba support. Nothing. Also, Ive tryed ALL the driver versions from Nvidia and from LaptopVideo2go.com with modded inf-s.
Dont know what else to do so I post here before contacting Toshiba. I have a valid warranty on the machine. Running XP MediaCentar which came with it.
THX in advance!

I am heading to bed in a minute, but will look at driver details tomorrow.
I seem to remember that the latest BIOS update improved something to do with graphics.
Yes, I've got the 7600 go graphics card.
You have good ventilation to the laptop? (i.e. you don't have it running on a deep pile carpet, or on a big deep duvet or something?)
I tried the Nvidia drivers too but they dont work, it has to be the drivers from Toshiba.
Suggest you do a system restore, and if that does not help re-flash your BIOS
The link to the driver updates was good, but not for the laptop.

    I also tried to search for virus with Quick Heal but no virus was found.
    I was also able to play this game before.
    This problem started when I installed Company of Heroes game.
    Now I can't play any games.
    Please help thanks.

    Hello pleurisy,
    Your system is getting an error when trying to play a game.
    This might be caused by the system getting too hot.
    Do a hard reset.
    Turn the computer off.
    Remove the power cable and the battery.
    Hold down the power button for 15 sec while booth power sources are removed.
    This should reset the hardware in the computer.
    As you turn it back on tap the F10 key. This will load BIOS setup utility.
    Press F9 to load defaults.
    Press F10 to save and exit.
    When the computer boots back up, check to see if everything is working.
    If your still getting the error, go to HP.com and update the BIOS.
    Here is a link to the update.
    Also make sure that the system does not have a buildup of dust inside the system.
    Take the side panel off and clean the inside of the computer with compressed air.
    Let me know how everything goes.
    Have a good day.

  • "Load Driver" error while installing Win7 on Satellite C665

    My hard drive in my laptop died on me, so I got a new hard drive (Solid State) and am installing Windows 7 on it on my Toshiba (Satellite C665 model PSC55A)
    I don't seem to be alone in encountering this error: "A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD or USB flash drive, please insert it now." However everyone seems to get it for different reasons and I've tried multiple things.
    The first obvious one: Use the disk I got with the laptop. I've moved houses since I bought the laptop. Looked through every box in the house and and I think it may be lost to oblivion.
    The next most obvious: Load the drivers from the Toshiba support. Tried that. Doesn't work. Not sure why, but I downloaded the drivers from Toshiba, extracted them, put them on a USB. In "Install Windows" in sees a list of all the drivers. I attempt to install all of them, it goes through them all. At the end of it it still doesn't work.
    The next: Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool. I read it would work, so I attempted it, and it didn't.
    I've also read BIOS, "Disable AHCI mode for your disk controller in the system BIOS", I'm not the greatest so I may not have gotten this step right, but the only time I found AHCI in the BIOS I couldn't change it to IDE or ATA as was suggested, I could only change it to "Compatibility"
    Thank you for your help, I hope I don't sound too hopeless.

    >I found AHCI in the BIOS I couldn't change it to IDE or ATA as was suggested, I could only change it to "Compatibility"
    This is right.. you can switch the SATA mode to AHCI or compatible mode.
    In AHCI mode the notebook requires the SATA driver in order to see the HDD or SSD drive. In compatible mode the HDD/SSD drive should be visible while system installation but the HDD/SSD drive would operate in IDE mode means the HDD/SSD drive would be slower.
    But as I understood the posting, youve got problems with CD/DVD drive. Is this correct?
    This really strange because the Windows Setup doesnt need any ODD (optical disk drive) drivers the installation setup contains common CD/DVD drive which controls the disk drive.
    I read in other forums that this problem could be related to faulty Windows installation disk. It would be interesting to know if you can use another disk to install the system
    I found also this MS knowledge base article:
    [A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing" or "A media driver your computer needs is missing" error message when you install Windows|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2755139]
    The reasons for that might be:
    The installation DVD is removed during the setup process.
    A low-quality DVD was used to create the installation DVD.
    The speed at which the installation DVD was burned was too fast.
    The DVD drive cannot read the media.
    The ISO file is corrupted.

  • Satellite A500-17X restarts while playing games

    Hello all,
    I have had my toshiba satellite a500-17x for about two years, I bought it to play Starcraft and world of warcraft. Ever since i got it i have had a problem with it. While playing games it would suddenly restart the laptop. I contacted the customer support and had it taken back to see if they could find out what was wrong with it. They said it was fine and it must be the games software that was causing the problem. (I do not believe that this is the problem since i reinstalled all software and the problem persisted)
    I felt that they were trying to bluff me with this answer. Either they did not do an indebt inspection to try to resolve the problem or I believed that the model itself was flawed.
    Anyway I wanted to say that the laptop can sometimes play fine for hours but on other days it will crash multiple times.
    I just want to point out something; my graphics card driver is up to date. My air vents are completely clear. The temperature is stable. I have put the power management to maximum. I play with a battery in and the laptop is plugged in. This has also happened from a cold start.
    During the restart i am given no advanced warning. The laptop just turns off (no beeps, no blue screen) and restarts.
    I have never posted here before and i would really appreciate your help.
    I know this has been a problem in the past with this model as i have searched forums for solutions but I cant find one.
    If you know of a solution I would be very grateful.
    Thanks

    Hi
    Gaming issues are always very difficult themes because nobody can say exactly if its caused by game <-> GPU driver compatibility problems or notebook (hardware) issues.
    You said you had this issue playing two games but does it happens playing other games or running other applications (no games)???
    In your case I recommend checking some gaming forums about StarCraft and WoW.
    Maybe you will find some more details about that.
    At the other hand the unit supports an NVIDIA GeForce GT 230M graphic chip.
    Some people said that nVIdia driver 8.16.11.8973 would run stable

  • Satellite T130-02F - Display Driver Error

    Hi There,
    I just purchased the Satellite T130-02F and after choosing 32bit running system I had the power connected to charge battery up and then started to get "display driver errors" where the screen would flash black and then flash back on. I've checked device manager and driver details, the drive is upto date and as far as I can see is the correct driver. I've searched sites to see if there ar other drivers out there, but its up to date.
    I haven't installed anything extra on the computer yet and find I get the error more regularly on the battery rather than power which concerns me. The computer is less than 24hrs old.
    Any advice?
    Mobile Intel (R) display chip set.
    Windows 7 installed 32bit.

    Hi
    In your case I would try reinstalling the display driver. You can find the latest version on the Toshiba website:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
    After this make sure that the newest BIOS version is installed. You can download it on the Toshiba website too.
    If nothing works your only chance is an authorized service provider. It seems to be a hardware problem and must be checked from professional people.

  • Satellite A500-17x restarting while playing games

    Hello,
    I got this laptop for christmas, and have recently purchased games through steam, it is then when I came to play Call of Duty 4 that the laptop just randomly restarted itself. At first I thought that it must of overheated, but then it was not hot at all, and had only just been switched on. I then thought it could of been the game conflicting with the computer, so I tried other games such as Counterstrike: Source, no luck it still randomly restarted. Ive played for hours without it turning off then other times just minutes. The laptop is ok when im just surfing the internet etc. but restarts when playing games. I have read other forums expressing the same problem, but have yet to find a solution. I have updated the display drivers from the Toshiba website, from nVidia but still not working.
    Please Help :)

    I believe I know the solution.
    I've been looking over this forum for a few months with the same problem, looking for developments that might help me solve mine, so I feel it right that I should post here telling you how mine's fixed.
    I sent mine off from where I bought it (PC World) for repair, twice. The first time all they did was clean out the fan, but sending it back with the same problem, they changed the motherboard, also known as the mainboard, and it seems to have fixed the problem. I have evidence why this is so from wikipedia. Some of the major functions of a motherboard are:
    - slots for expansion cards (these interface to the system via the buses supported by the chipset)
    - power connectors, which receive electrical power from the computer power supply and distribute it to the CPU, chipset, main memory, and expansion cards.
    I always assumed with it switching off on the AC power supply WHILE PLAYING GAMES, there must be some sort of problem with the link between the power and the "expansion cards" e.g graphics and video cards, and it seems that this "link" is indeed the motherboard, so in manufacturing, it sure seems like the model of the motherboard used by Toshiba may have had a minor fault for the model that causes this shut down, unfortunately.
    So far there has been no problem using the laptop while playing games, and it seems to be all fine so far!
    I hope this answer helped a lot in sorting out your problems, good luck and happy gaming! :)

  • Have a Sony Viao E series and get an "imcompatible display driver" error message

    Get an "Incompatible Display Driver" error message when attempting to use Adobe Premiere Elements 12 on a Sony Vaio E series laptop.
    How to solve this problem?
    Thanks

    I Googled, and Sony says that is a discontinued model, so I can't find a specification page
    Amazon does have a couple models, and BOTH say motherboard integrated Intel graphics adapter
    That makes me think the laptop discussed here has Intel AND AMD graphics adapters
    To the OP (Original Poster) Go to the Windows Control Panel and select Hardware and Sound and then select Device Manager... In Device manager you click the + sign to the left of Display Adapters... and see if 2 are listed
    If YES, read below

  • Nvidia Display Driver Error

    New T61-CTO system, Vista 32 with Nvidia Quadro NVS140M that is not even a week old.
    The system is very unstable, crashing almost daily with a display driver error.  About half the time it is able to recover and I get the following message, "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding but has recovered.....".  The other half the computer crashes to blue screen or just freezes with a corrupted display and I am forced to hard-power-off to restart.  About 75% of the time the error occurs at startup, but sometimes just randomly while working.
    There is lots of info about this driver problem online but mostly for different display adaptors on desktop systems.  For the record I have the following display driver installed: 7.15.11.5685 and it is dated 12/10/07.  Nvidia does not provide support for this display adaptor and refers you to the system manufacturer.  Strangely, the driver on the Lenovo site is 7.15.11.0145 and dated 7/12/07, not sure why my system shipped with a driver that is not listed on the support site.
    Any information on resloving this issue would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi WillThePill, and welcome to the Lenovo User Community!
    I come up with a newer driver version 7.15.11.7693 2009/01/13 on the Lenovo support site:

  • PC suddenly restarts while playing games MSI 660Ti Power Edition OC 2GB

    Hi,
    I have the following problem since I replaced my graphics card (before 9800GTX+, now MSI 660Ti Power Edition 2GB) I got 3 random restarts while playing games. The computer is not overheating, the CPU's temperature is around 58-59 degrees after running prime95 for 3 hours. The graphics card temperature is 70 degrees after running furmark for 1 hour, the stress tests never failed, just when running games. The computer has been stable. For case cooling im using (2X12cm front, rear 1X14cm below 1X12cm and above 1X12cm +1 X14cm).
    I got two random system restarts while playing Doom 3 BFG and one system restart after playing Wolfenstein for 4 hours. The PC just restarts itself.
    What could be wrong? I have no more ideas? Should I replace the CPU cooler (im running the stock CPU cooler but all stress tests dont show overheating?!)
    Is it possible that the PSU is the reason, but it should be strong enough ...
    The system:
    GA 870A-UD3
    AMD Phenom II 1090T (cooler box)
    MSI GeForce 660Ti Power Edition OC 2GB
    12GB RAM (12GB Kit 3X4GB DDR3 Kingston Genesis 1600)
    Samsung 256GB 840pro
    WD Blue 500GB
    Thermaltake Thoughpower Q-Fan 750W PSU
    Housing NZXT Source 210 Elite
    OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
    Thank you.

    The temps for the graphics card are quite normal. I have the same one and under load it will go to 70 to 75C, depending on ambient. What Nvidia driver are you using? Did you do a new driver installation?
    If I look at your CPU though, then you are very close to the max CPU temp and throttling may invoke the shutdown    http://products.amd.com/en-us/DesktopCPUDetail.aspx?id=640&f1=&f2=&f3=&f4=&f5=&f6=&f7=&f8=&f9=&f10=&f11=&f12=
    62C is max.
    Could also be your PSU that's not completely stable and continuous power draw may cause Overcurrent or overtemp protection. Speculating here as to probable causes.
    Another possibility is your RAM. That should normally be paired in 2's. Have you tested with only 2 modules ? Remember we don't support that MB here, but its just another test I would run. But you would know, probably having run it like that with the previous GPU.

    Keep iPhone on Wall Charger for 10 minutes, it may turn ON itself. If still OFF, keep on Wall Charger and Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, this can sometimes take about 20 seconds time of holding both buttons while on charger.

  • Acrobat has encountered an error while playing this media clip

    Hi,
    I have downloaded a pdf file from the web which has embedded audio in it.
    When I try to play the audio, the following message comes up “Acrobat has encountered an error while playing this media clip. Adobe’s Windows build-in player cannot play this format as the required decoder is not installed on the system.”. 
    I can attach the file, if the problem can be resolved.  If you need more information, kindly advise?
    Can you kindly assist?

    That means it's a PDF containing "legacy media", which requires external software to play it. Unfortunately the audio itself could use any type of encoding, and the error tells you that whatever it is, your default media player (WMP) doesn't understand it. Rather annoyingly, when running in embedded mode WMP doesn't tell you what codec it's having problem with. It's one reason why this feature has been removed from the latest version of Acrobat.
    This forum doesn't allow generic file attachments, but if the PDF came from a public website please post the URL and someone will take a look at the structure. Sharing of copyrighted material via file upload services is not permitted.
