Satellite C50-B P0010 is Slow :-(

I want to know whether I am the only one stuck with this problem!!! My Satellite C50-B PSCMNG with Windows 8.1 x64 is really painfully slow... I even tried upgrading the RAM to 8GB, but NO change... My satellite still tends to be painfully slow... Firefox, Microsoft Office and all other softwares that i use are always laggy and hangs always... I even tried reinstalling windows many times, formatting hard disk... All the drivers are perfectly installed and Windows is up to date. Nothing helped me... My lap is only 2 months old... I never expected a PC with 4th gen quad core processor and 8GB RAM would be this bad. Please help me!!! I am really in pain and vexed. I gave up!!!
This is the laptop I am talking about << Please click here

That's not a US model, and this is the forums for Toshiba USA. You may want to contact Toshiba in your region.

Satellite C50-A628 running slow

Good day everyone.
Sorry if this post is in the wrong section, but, please help.
I know that maybe some people might think this as a waste of time or just something you could search in google, but, for about *7 months*, I've been trying to figure out why my new laptop is running slow.
As this laptop comes without any pre-installed operating system, there is no restore disk or factory reset disc. For the first few months of using my laptop, it's been running +windows 8.1 pro+.
Every time I use it, it opens everything okay, except when my browser is open. everything becomes unstable and doesn't respond. after a few seconds of not responding, I can use it again as long as I don't multi-task. I've installed the latest graphics drivers and some apps, but that's it. I thought that it was a problem with windows 8 about 5 days ago, so I downgraded to +windows 7 ultimate 64 bit+.
Now, i'm starting to think that maybe the problem is because of the drivers since I didn't install the drivers required for the laptop since it doesn't come with the drivers and reset disk.
So now, I'd like to ask for support on this matter. Please show the proper installation of windows 7 and the all the drivers required for my laptop which is the *TOSHIBA SATELLITE C50-A628 RUNNING WINDOWS 7 ULTIMATE 64-bit*. (Or any idea on why this problem is occuring)
Thank you and have a nice day.
-George B.

One note: the system performance, especially the internet browser issues has NOTHING to do with drivers preinstalled on your notebook. Mostly drivers are not the reason why the notebook runs slow (open software slowly, etc)
Fact is that your Satellite C50-A628 was equipped with 2GB RAM.
Additionaly an part of this 2GB RAM is shared with GPU: Intel HD Graphics
Therefore less than 2GB are used for system and applications.
To be honest; this is not enough to run system smoothly!
I recommend you to upgrade the RAM at least to 4GB/6GB or better 8GB RAM to get better performance.
Regadign the drivers download:

New Satellite C50-A264 Laptop way too slow.

I got this Satellite C50-A254 few weeks ago,i didnt touch it alot.
I only used this laptop 2-3 times but its just terribly slow.
Even if i launched Google Chrome,it constantly stopps responding and i have no idea why because it was too slow from the first place when i booted this laptop which doesnt make sence at all.
I cant run literary anything good. Even opening control panel takes about 5 seconds.
The specs are:
OS: Windows 8
HDD: 500GB
RAM: 2GB
CPU: Pentunum
I've only installed uTorrent and Steam,but i dont know why that causes this laptop to be terriblely slow.
I didnt tried to uninstall anything since it was slow from the first time.
I'm sure this was not a re-used PC.

I have the exact same stituation with the Toshiba C50D
Bought it from the South African disributor
Out of the box it was so slow as to be unuseable even for basic email
within 2 days I took it back
They would not accept it back as it has been used (tried once and not again.)
I am now stuck with the WORST EVER COMPUTER, WHICH HAS TOTALLY PUT ME OFF ALL TOSHIBA PRODUCTS.
The computer has lived in the cupboard in it's box for the past 6 months and not been used.
I have since purchased a DELL in the same price range for my wife.
I have since purchased a much more expensive Acer as a work machine.
===============
Out of curiosity in the last day - I intalled a 256 Gig Solid state drive and increased the memory to 8Gig. Updated to Windows 8.1
ABSOLUTELY NO CHANGE IN THE POOR PERFORMANCE.
SHAME ON YOU TOSHIBA FOR SELLING SUCH COMPLETE RUBBISH AND RIPPING THE PUBLIC OFF.

Satellite C50-A-1CK double characters appear when typing

All
I have a brand new Satellite C50-A-1CK which is perfect for my needs EXCEPT I continually get double characters appearing on screen when typing which is:
A. VERY frustrating
B. Wasting a lot of time as I have to keep correcting words to remove the duplicate characters.
Please does anyone know of a fix for this? It can affect any key on the keyboard and it doesn't matter if I type slow or quick, press the keys firmly or as light as possible.
Have checked for firmware updates but none available.
Thanks in advance!

The Touchpad issue you have I mayy be able to help with....
It sounds like you have the "Enable Edge Swipes" set on. This will bring up Windows 8 menu on the right hand side of the screen when ever you swipe from the right hand side of the keypad towards the middle.
Yours is a different model to mine but assuming the setting is in the same place then:
open Control Panel
Open Hardware and Sound
Under Devices and printers click "Mouse"
In the "mouse properties" window click on Device Settings
Highlight the touchpad and click the "settings" button below it
De-select "Enable Edge Swipes"
Hope this helps

Satellite C50-A-571 -Two questions about Toshiba drivers download

Hello all , great day .. how is it doin?
I'm new to this forum , it's good to be here hoping will find solution to every problem we facing
My first question is : why the drivers download from "http://www.toshibamea.com/" is so slow and limited or something? , it never finish downloading , I'm always having connection interrupted when trying to download a driver, isnt there other mirrors or something?
Second question:
why is there so many unnecessary drivers ? like I set all my preferences, product type, family,model , series ... and it gave me 33 driver , and some of them aren't drivers for my laptop
I have a Satellite C50-A-571 notebook

Hi and welcome
Im not some expert but Ill try to offer my answers.
1/
As far as I know support page you use is offered for Middle East and Arica. I don't know where is the server placed but download should not be problematic. In the past I used it few times for drivers check and everything was OK. Maybe is there some problem with your Internet connectivity.
Toshiba support and download page is definitely not limited and can be used anytime you want.
2/
Ive checked download page and found 33 results for Win7 64bit so I presume you want to install this Windows version.
Anyway all listed stuff are not just the drivers but also useful Toshiba specific tools and utilities. This tools and utilities control some special useful special features like special keys functionality or HDD protection.
I can just recommend you to install all of them and have full control over your machine. Of course if you don't like or don't need some of them they can be disabled or removed from the system.
I hope my opinion is useful for you. If you have more questions you are welcome.

WI-FI is not working on Satellite C50-A-179

Hello everyone!
I own Toshiba Satellite C50-A-179 (PSCGAE) laptop with Windows 8 and recently I've tried installing Connectify on it.
However, Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter was missing on the laptop, and because of that Connectify couldn't work. I've tried to enable/install it somehow using tips found on the internet. One of the suggestion was to reinstall the Wireless Adapter driver.
I uninstalled the original driver, and reinstalled it again after downloading it from Toshiba website ( [here|http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EU&selCategory =2&selFamily=2&selSeries=312&selProduct=7934&selSh ortMod=3969&language=13&selOS=40&selType=97&yearup load=&monthupload=&dayupload=&useDate=null&mode=al lMachines&search=&action=search&macId=&country=all &selectedLanguage=13&type=97&page=1&ID=86778&OSID= 40&driverLanguage=42] )
I'm sure I downloaded and installed the right driver for the right adapter which is "Qualcomm Atheros AR956x Wireless Network Adapter". I made sure before the installation to check all the information about the adapter and the driver.
However, after the reinstallation wifi has stopped working completely:
-the wireless network connection icon/adapter from "Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections" is there but it does not behave as it should, it just looks as a generic network connection icon and not a specific one-basically it doesn't represent the actual adapter and hasn't got the name of it in the note;
-wifi option in Windows 8 settings menu-Change PC settings-Network has disappeared altogether (bluetooth option is still there and so is airplane mode option);
-wifi can be turned on by pressing enable from the righ click menu of that generic network connection I've mentioned, but it won't pick up any signal and won't find any connections even though there definitely are some.
There are no yellow exclamation marks in Device Manager list and the wireless adapter is there as well, behaving and pretending as if everything was all right and working properly.
I've tried Troubleshooting, installing driver using Windows Update, installing and updating driver from its properties menu in Device Manager, and all kinds of things like that, but none of it has helped and wifi still does not work.
Basically, the laptop seems to be thinking that the adapter is working properly and everything is fine HW and SW wise, but in reality it isn't. I really don't know what else I should try, I don't want to reinstall the whole operating system because I'm afraid it (or I) would mess everything up even more (messing up even more drivers).
I'm running on a cable internet connection now, and I'm glad at least that is working (I really need the laptop for work and I can't afford to loose it for a day, let alone for longer)
Could anyone please help me?
Any ideas how to fix this and make wifi work again?
I'll be really thankful for any advice.
Thank you, Miko31.

Hi
In case the WLan card is recognized properly in device manager, the Wlan driver has been installed properly and I dont think that there could be a problem with WLan driver.
In my opinion you should check if the WLan card is enabled properly by using the FN key combination
Furthermore if Wlan has been enabled properly you should try to Add new WLan and should configure the Wifi once again.
This can be done in control panel-> Network & Sharing center -> Manage wireless networks (on the left) -> Add button
> However, Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter was missing on the laptop,
Regarding the Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter
You could enable this in device manager. Here choose your "network adapters", then you should find the Virtual Wifi Adapter. Now do right click it and enable it.
It could be also possible that Virtual Wifi Adapter is hidden. In such case you should first unhide it from the device manger, then re-enable the adapter from the device manger tools.
After that, you have to start your cmd (console) with admin right and should type:
+netsh wlan start hostednetwork+

Windows 7 Installation on Satellite C50-A-1JM possible?

Thanks for reading my topic.
I have bought a Toshiba Satellite C50-A-1JM and I cannot install Windows 7 on it.
I upgraded BIOS to V1.30 still after that, I have only the option Secure Boot to disable or enable
There's no option to switch to CSM or legacy, as I know this MUST be done before I can install Windows 7.
Is there any chance to install a Win7 on this Laptop?
Thanks
Elmar

Thank you, yes, you are right, there are really no drivers to download.
With a modified USB-stick
[http://www.com-magazin.de/praxis/windows-7/windows-7-uefi-pc-installieren-7531.html?page=4_setup-stick-fuer-uefi-pcs-erstellen]
I got the laptop started to installation process, but shortly after loading files there always approaches a red stripe at the top of the laptop and windows installation freezes.
It doesnt matter, if it is installed from the usb oder from original MS DVD, same error, same freeze
So, no chance to downgrade - then I will send it back.
Thank you!

Windows 7 Installation on Satellite C50-A-1JT

Hi everyone,
I've bought a brand new Sattelite C50-A-1JT PSCJGE from Romania with no OS.
First i've tried for about a day to install Windows 7 and it won't boot, neither on DVD neither on USB, only Windows 8, but after i've searched about it, i found out that i have to change my bios settings from UEFI to CSM Boot and disable Secue Boot.
NOT A CHANCE. Intead of a normal BIOS i only have Toshiba Setup Utility and i have only the Boot Order option and Secure Boot, that didn't helped me.
I thought that my BIOS is out-dated (1.10)
So went to the Toshiba Website and searched for an BIOS Update and the only one was this:
[BIOS 1.30-WIN for Satellite C55-A, Satellite C50-A|http://www.toshiba.com.ro/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?LNG=27&service=SE&selC ategory=2&selFamily=2&selSeries=312&selProduct=793 4&selShortMod=4628&language=47&selOS=46&selType=4& yearupload=&monthupload=&dayupload=&useDate=null&m ode=allMachines&search=&action=search&macId=&count ry=all&selectedLanguage=47&type=4&page=1&ID=90346& OSID=-1&driverLanguage=42]
...but unafortunatelly, it isn't available.
So, i there any chance to have Windows 7 on this laptop?... 'cause i hate 8

Many Win8 machines are supported for Win7 so, generally speaking, you should not have some big problems. As you already wrote you must at first change BIOS settings - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2C03F80002R01.htm
After doing this restart your notebook and press F12. When boot menu is shown on the screen put Win7 installation disc into optical disc drive, choose CD/DVD as first bootable device and press ENTER. ODD should start to read Win7 installation disc and setup will be shown on the screen.
On this way I have installed Win7 on my Satellite U940.
Please try again and post some feedback.

Cannot find Win 8.1 drivers for Satellite C50-A-1DV

Hi.
I re-installed windows 8.1 from a disk I have, but I'm having driver problems, namely finding certain driver support on the Toshiba website.
It seem that my laptop isn't listed, or I can't find it in the support section for drivers.
The drivers I'm looking for namely are the motherboard drivers.
I already tried a driver site but my laptop was taking a good few minutes to power off after shutdown so I doubt those were correct. I'll try intel chipset device software and see if that gives me the correct ones.
Rest of drivers I can get simple enough through device manager, but not the chipset drivers, and probably usb 3.0 too.
On a side note, I noticed I don't need to type in the key, which I wrote down using belarc, I assume it's saved to the BIOS and windows auto detects it correct?

Hello
According notebook specification your notebook was delivered with preinstalled Windows 8.1 64bit so what you should do is to reinstall original recovery image that contains all necessary drivers.
When you say you have installed Win 8.1 from the disc, what does it mean exactly?
Have you installed your own OS version or original Win8.1 version from created recovery disc?
Anyway, al Win8.1 64bit drivers you can download from Toshiba download page - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
There you can find all drivers for your Satellite C50-A-1DV with part number PSCG6E.
Check it out.

Satellite C50-A - upgrading to Win 8.1 bit from Win7

Hi
Wondering, I have the Windows 8.1, upgrade media I got for my Toshiba Satellite C50-A machine. Want to upgrade to Windows 8.1, and got the upgrade DVD, that came with the laptop. So do I just insert the DVD, click set-up, or do I need to go back to factory settings, then insert the DVD, and as a blind it student, will need sighted help.
Any help, tips, tricks from people done this before. I have a 1 TB USB Toshiba external drive, so have backed up everything on to that and added a couple of things today, but backed up all the rest of my stuff, docs, college work, e-mails, my rss feed settings, contacts for outlook 2010, programs, music, TV, movies, favorites, etc. so any advice.
Going to do this tomorrow. as doing a programming course and the instructor is using windows 8.1, and need to develop windows stores and windows phone apps.
Marvin from Adelaide, Australia.

Exact specification of your model is not known to me but I presume you got your machine with Win8.1 recovery disc so if you want to use Win8.1 you must boot your machine with this recovery disc and make clean OS installation.
I don't know if you got your machine with originally preinstalled Win7. If yes create recovery media (DVD or USB) using preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator before you start Win8.1 installation.
This created recovery media you can use if you want to have machine with Win7 again.

Satellite C50-D - External Hard Drive is not recognized

Have just purchased Satellite C50 D but cannot get it to read or recognise my LaCie hard drive.
As this has all the data from my previous computer it is rather important. Can anyone provide help and guidance as to how to a) read the drive or b) transfer all the data onto the laptop memory
Many thanks
A:-)

Hi
The notebook supports 1 USB 3.0 port and 2 USB 2.0 ports.
I recommend you to connect the external HDD to each port (USB2.0 and USB3.0) just to check if its not compatibility problem. But usually it should not be a big problem to connect an external USB 2.0 device to an USB 3.0 port.
However, it could be also possible that this external HDD needs more than usual 500mA power provided by one USB 2.0 port. In such case you should use an USB Y cable to connect the HDD to two USB ports.

Satellite C50-B-133 - HDMI not connecting to TV

Help.
I have just purchased a Satellite C50-B-133 laptop.
The problem is I cannot get it to display via a HD cable on my Panasonic TV.
It does recognise that it is connected to a Panasonic TV.
I have done the Windows + P to select 'duplicate screen' etc but to no avail.
The Toshiba website interactive assistant mentioned it could be the cable...........is that a possibility?
Other items - playstation etc connect via this cable with no difficulty.
When i go into settings > change pc settings > display > detect > 'didn't detect another display' is the answer. However when i go into Toshiba Desktop Assist > tools and utilities > display utility > multiple displays > the panasonic tv is listed. #confused.............
Message was edited by: rednep_dp

I think you should power off both devices: TV and notebook.
Regarding the notebook: please ensure that the notebook has been shut off completely as mentioned here:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2B03EY0002R01.htm
Connect both devices with the HDMI cable and then power up the TV and the notebook.
Then you could try to use FN + F4 (or only F4) to switch between the external and internal display. Please ensure that internal resolution has to match the external resolution in order to use the both displays simultaneously.
In case this will not work, try to reinstall the display driver (graphic card driver.)

Satellite C50-A634 wont boot from USB or DVD

My new toshiba Satellite C50-A634 wont boot from usb, or dvd ,
i have downloaded win 8.1 and burn image to dvd but i still get an error message "no bootable device......please restart system" .
Can some one plz help?

Hi
Does Satellite C50-A634 supports internal CD/DVD drive or did you try to boot from external optical disk drive?
You have to know that _Satellite C50 & Satellite C50D models *without* a built-in ODD_ are not able to boot from an external ODD due to a technical limitation.
Details here:
[Limitation of external boot media for Satellite, Satellite Pro C50 & C50D devices|http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB3B03JA0000R01.htm]
Only USB flash drives are supported as external boot devices!
It is necessary you can use a USB flash drive as recovery media on notebooks without a built-in ODD.
