Satellite C660-1H6 graphical problems (ATI 5470) white pixels

Hello everyone,
I apologize for my English. I'm Italian.
My pc has a very annoying flaw... during normal use of the pixels you see crazy. You see the annoying white pixels.
There are not many but especially for graphics work it's badly.
I already restored the PC once installed the ATI driver from the Toshiba official website but the problem continues.
I also tried the drivers from the amd site but the problem persists.
If you can help the problem becomes much more pronounced after the return of the suspension. In this case, the desktop you see really bad with all the pixels in a mess.
If you need additional information or tell me I can do tests as well.
Thank you.

Hi
Im not quite sure if its a internal display issue or maybe a graphic card problem
Therefore you should connect and external monitor in order to check whats exactly wrong
Usually the graphic card is affected if the same pixels would appear on the second monitor.
But if the picture on the external monitor would be OK, then the graphic chip should be ok too and in such case the internal notebook display is faulty
But in both cases it would be expensive to fix the notebook because both parts are not cheap.

Satellite C660-1KW - graphic drivers issue

Hi,
I cant find graphic drivers for my tosh. I try search it on intel site but they send me here
plz help

> I think I need this update for my Satellite C660-1LD as I'm having problems running certain programs.
There is no big difference between the version 8.15.10.2353 and 8.15.10.2189 and therefor I doubt the installed driver might be the reason why you have problems running certain programs.
> Should I be saving the new version somewhere specifically or does it instinctively know where to go (can you tell I'm not very techy?)
Download the package, save it somewhere on the HDD (I prefer desktop), unzip the package (you can use software like WinRAR or WinZip) and then run the setup or install exe
Follow the instruction on the screen and then reboot the notebook. Now the driver should be updated.

Satellite C660-23M - graphic driver update issue

New to this forum so dont know if this problem has been covered.
Have installed Photoshop elements 11 and premier elements 11.
The elements program runs ok but cannot get get premier elements to open new project. Adobe advised trying to update drivers which I have tried without success.
When running driver update on laptop it says latest driver installed. 8.15.10.2189
On checking Toshiba update site it shows later version 8.15.10.2353.
Have downloaded this ,I then unzipped it and it says will start automatic installation when finished but nothing happens.
Have tried several times but once unzipped it will not install.
Any help would be appreciated and infact confirmation of latest driver.

Just done a direct x scan and this is an extract of results.

Satellite A60-793: graphics problem

Hi, I'm posting to get help to solve a graphics problem for my A60... Some images, in the browser, appear distorced and with a low quality. What can i do to solve it?
Thanks, Pedro Marques

Hi,
which browser do you use? MS iexplorer, Mozilla, Opera or another one?
Do you use the Toshiba recovery OS or an own full installation? Is there a Antivirus and a Firewall runing?
When does the problem occure? Only at images, if yes, which kind of image type, or fonts also affected?
Is it difuse or a failure with the colors? Describe it a little bit more detailly!
In the end if these suggestions doesn't help, please use the Toshiba Recovery CD to setup a new system! Then everything should be ok!
Bye Pete

Satellite p20 552: Graphics problem

Toshiba satellite p20 552 (new, out of the box)
When set to 32 bit (color) the cursor has blue vertical stripes around it (in a square of 2x2 cm) when placed on a white surface (ex in the explorer).
This behaviour disapears when set to 16 bit.
The graphics card is the GeForce FX Go5700.
Does anyone know this problem or as an answer to this?
Thanks.
By the way, when the pc goes in standby mode (power management or when closing the lcd panel) and when one tries to restart it, it does not swithch on the LCD screen screen, but there is some activity on the disk and the fan works. After some time it shuts down. At restart a windows error message appears.

HI Muni,
you wrote your p20 is new ad out of the box, then you use the preinstalled Toshiba OS, don't you?
You can try to reinstall the graphic driver (Toshiba Tools&Utilities CD or you go to https://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com - Download Driver and choose your machine). Compare the two driver versions ad install the newer one!
Which resolution do you use?
Your secod problem can be solved if you check your settings in the Toshiba Power Saver. Perhaps you set it to default. If this don't solve the problem you should reinstall the Power Saver!
Hint: You can also use the Hiberation Mode. This mode shuts the notebook down and all power is off. At the next start, the Hiberation mode loads a hdd image and you can work! It is faster than normal start up and all power is off in Hibernation mode.
Bye chris

Wide variety of new graphical problems (ATI 6470m, Catalyst 11.11)

I'm really starting to get annoyed, and I'm hoping somebody figured out what could cause these problems.
This is my setup: I'm on a HP EliteBook 8560p laptop. I have an ATI 6470m graphical card, and since the release of catalyst-11.11 I'm running fglrx. I use awesome as my wm. I'm running the latest stable arch x86_64.
I'm not sure what exactly, but it seems that an update from a few days ago messed up something. The first thing i noticed was horrible flash fullscreen performance (chromium 15.0.874.121-1, flashplugin 11.1.102.55-1). The video was jerky, had tearing and would freeze the video for a couple of seconds really often, but only when ran in fullscreen. After 2 days of googleing and trying EVERY POSSIBLE solution (tried gnash, lightspark, flash beta, played with every option imaginable in /etc/adobe/mms/cfg etc etc) i tried using xcompmgr and lo and behold, flash started to work again normally in fullscreen.
That would be great if xcompmgr wouldn't choke the rest of my system. For example fgl_glxgears usually reports around 1000 FPS on my system, with xcompmgr it's around 250, I can't play any of my favourite humble bundle games, nothing. So I now have to disable xcompmgr whenever I want to use my system for something else than watching fullscreen flash.
Next thing, tearing in smplayer. I installed mplayer-vaapi since I had a nice GPU, and it worked flawlessly, I ran 1080p videos and my cpu usage was 6%. Now I have tearing and jerky video on a normal avi file, tried using every other combination for my output driver instead of vaapi:gl with no luck whatsoever.
Thanks in advance, if you need any command outputs or log sections, let me know.

Gaming-Graphics problem with MacBook White Unibody (Late 2009)

Hello there, this is going on:
When I open any game (like call of duty 4) it seems to work ok, 90-125 fps as it should be (800x600 minimum graphics), and this happens the first 5-10 minutes i'm playing, then it starts to seriously lag itself, FPS goes down to 30-40 fps with a veeery poor performance, unplayable, for like 5-10 minutes, and then it starts to work fine again. I can't exactly explain it, but I don't see the fans running faster, they stay steel, the MacBook starts to heat a little and that's all I can tell.
I though this was a Mac OS X problem with the video card, but same thing happens on Boot Camp, with Windows 7, with ANY game i'm playing. Then I tried to restart the PRAM and SMC, but I don't have any solution.
Is this a Hardware problem? Is this happening just to me or is there anybody who has this problem, too? Help! and thanks in advance.

I have had this problem for the last year with iRacing and lately F1 2010.
In good news, I seem to have solved it last week. I did some googling and saw a few posts that suggested it could be due to the GPU overheating. To test this I downloaded and installed Speedfan in windows and smcFanControl in OSX.
Both apps will enable you to monitor the temp of your CPU and GPU. I noticed generally in OSX the GPU hits a max of around 72 degrees Celsius. When I switched to windows and fired up iRacing and then F1 2010 I noticed it was all fine till the GPU hit around 90 degrees Celsius. At that point it the FPS drop kicked in and I went from 70 odd FPS in iRacing to 20 FPS.
To get around the problem, You can turn up the fan speed, which will stop the GPU from getting so hot. Unfortunately for a reason I don't understand SpeedFan will not allow you to control the speed of the fan in windows. So you need increase the speed to 5000 - 6000 RPM using smcFanControl in OSX. If you restart then fire up Windows the fan speed will stay at the higher rate you have set.
Since I started doing that my FPS drop problems seem to have disappeared.
The problem is if you then put windows to sleep, when you wake it up again the fan will go back to the default speed. So if you need shut the lid of your laptop, you have to restart to Mac OSX, then set the fan speed, the restart to windows. Painful but better than FPS drops.
If anyone has any other thoughts on any of this stuff I would love to hear it.

Satellite C660 - 1F1 Graphic Driver Update?

Hello,
I've been trying to get a game called Football Manager 2008 to work on this laptop for a long time. I've trawled the Internet for a solution to my problems running it, but I haven't found anything that works for me. In fact, the majority of the time, the problem seems to be solved by the person updating their graphics driver.
I've been trying to find an update that works for me, but I've not found anything so far.
Anyone shed any light on this?

Hi
From my knowledge the notebook supports the Intel HD graphic card (IntelHM55)
So latest driver can be downloaded from Intel page directly.

Can I change Satellite C660's graphic card which is GF 315m to 635M?

my specification
6gb ram
core i5
2.3 ghz

I don't think it's possible to upgrade the GPU. You would need to sell that notebook and buy something designed for 3D Performance such as the P750 or X770, or something like the Qosmio F750.

New Satellite C660-1F1 windows 64-bit -cant use graphics editing software

Hi Guys....any help appreciated...this is the message I sent to Toshiba support but they are taking their time getting back to me:
Important information: Satellite C660-1F1
Key Features
- Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (pre-installed, Toshiba-HDD recovery)
- Intel Core i3-380M Processor
- DVD-SuperMulti +-R (Double Layer)
- 2048 MB DDR3 RAM (1066MHz)
- 39.6cm (15.6") TruBrite HD (1366 x 768) High Brightness display with LED backlight with 16:9 aspect ratio
Hi... I purchased my laptop about a month ago from Argos and it has a 2 year warranty. I have one big problem - the 2 main graphics editing programmes that I use do not work. Both Corel Paintshop Photo Pro x3 and Adobe CS5 can both be installed and opened but as soon as I try to save a photo or edit a photo both of the programmes crash and i have to close it down by using end task in task manager.
This happened when I installed the full versions of both programmes which I purchased and it also happens when you download the trial versions from both the Corel and the Adobe download sites. I have been on so many help forums for both adobe and corel and the most helpful pointer came from one of the designers at Adobe - a Chris Cox.
He very logically stated that as it happened in both of these 2 graphics editing packages that it was most likely a problem with the graphics card drivers or the actual graphics card hardware. I purchased a 64-bit operating system to handle precisely these 2 programmes which can be exhausting on the system. I know i only have 2 GB RAM at the moment but it has been happening with other people...some who even have 8GB and 16GB of RAM which is what I will have in the next few weeks. However, not if I cannot rectify this problem. Please can you help/advise the best solution. This seems to be a problem only with the 64-bit systems. Both Adobe and Corel are 64-bit compatible.
There is also a message that appears when I open Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended....which is as follows:
...."Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver, and has temporarily disabled GPU enhancements, Check the video card manufacturers website for the latest software."
I then click that message away ....use the programme, edit something, try to save and it crashes. I have gone through all troubleshooting directions and ran countless diagnostics but there only seems to be one common denominator between the 2 different programmes and that is my Toshiba laptop.... I even tried installing another large photo editing software package to test it and I had the same result - an application crash.
Please help! Thanking you in advance.
Kind regards
John

Hello John
Have you already got some answer from Toshiba?
What to say my friend? In my opinion the best advice you can get from Corel and Adobe. They have best experience with own product and have probably tested them on different hardware platforms.
Notebook manufacturers offer different notebook models with different hardware configurations. Some of them are cheap and offered with average hardware. The performance is not the best but good enough for every day activities like internet, office, mailing and so on.
On other hand there are notebooks with excellent and powerful hardware. Very often such notebooks cost twice as much as cheap low budget products.
Please dont understand me wrong but your C notebook is not the best one for usage with such powerful software.
I really dont know what Toshiba can do about it. I can imagine that you need other graphic driver but graphic driver support for mobile computers is pretty limited and I dont think you can do much about that.
What you can try is to download and install driver from graphic card manufacturer but you must do this on your own risk.
Sorry friend but I dont have any other advice for you. I just think youve bought wrong notebook for such complex graphic operations. 2 GB RAM? I dont know.
Good luck.

Intel (HD) graphics issue when trying to use "Stellarium" on Satellite C660

Stellarium (a free application for astronomie) works w/o any problem on many computers of my astronomie club but impossible to use it on my Toshiba Satellite C660-226. No problem during installation but nothing appends when I launch the program.
I run it in compatibility mode (windows XP Sp2) and Intel HD graphics driver is at level 8.15.10.2189 as recommended on Toshiba support center.
If I install a lower level of this driver( VGA std graphic carte at level 6.1.7600.16385) ,Stellarium works but very slowly and some functions (like zoom) are bugging.
Stellarium support center recommands to install a more recent level of intel HD graphics driver but I don't find a more recent level working with P6100 processor on Intel download site.
Can you help me?
Regards

Hi some news about Intel driver install on my Toshiba Satellite C660-226
I've succeded to install Intel HD graphics driver level 8.15.10.2509 and now Stellarium works fine.
Hereunder the method I've applied :
First I've installed an old driver level found on my labtop ( VGA graphics card std level 6.1.7600.16385)
then Uninstalled Stellarium if already installed.
I've download Win7Vista_64_152250.exe from the Intel download center (Pentium P6100 for my computer)
On exec line : I typed the following command : bcedeit /set nointegritychecks ON
After these steps, I executed the downloaded file "Win7Vista_64_152250.exe" from my download directory.
When installation is finished , I reboot my labtop and checked Intel HD graphics driver.
Driver level now : 8.15.10.2509 (not 2189 as last Toshiba recommanded level).
On exec line : I typed the following command : bcedeit /set nointegritychecks OFF
Stellarium 0.10.6 is reinstalled and works w/o error now. Up to now I don't more recent level.......
Try this if you're still on this problem ...........good luck :o)

I have a problem with Imac mid 2010 graphics card (ATI Radeon 5670 512MB)

I have a problem with Imac mid 2010 graphics card (ATI Radeon 5670 512MB). When I play video formats like xvid, mkv, avi iMac freezes and emits horrible sound,in service said the problem is not overheating. Not a problem with memory or hard disk because I placed second correct parts.The same problem is with OSX 10.6.8 and 10.8.4 and other players.Apple hardware test found no problem and tech tool pro found no fault.
After five days of testing in the service they can not found fault and it was decided to change the graphics card.
New graphics have been tested for two days but it is not reproduced divx ... but their test software which did not find any fault on the old graphics...
Do I have the right to complain if repair does not fix the problem because I use non apple softwere and video formats.

You could look at the System Profile for the info it presents for the card. But why wouldn't you think it's not up to date if you have the latest install (according to your sig above)?
What program are you trying to run? Is there anything in the system log?
I think it's the program that's having the problem and not anything with your video software.

System Restore problem on Satellite C660-115

Hello everyone,
The Satellite C660-115 my niece has a problem and I would like to make it serviceable for his Christmas.
Turning on the computer's voltage giving as final result the message: * Can not find the operating system will ", so I tried System Restore by first pressing the 0 key, and after many tests, changing the order of the boot and the other (with F2 or F12) ... But there was nothing.
From there, I realized that I could not go further without original recovery DVD from Toshiba. So I ordered last Saturday and got today Thursday. After as indicated by Toshiba (boot sequence beginning on CD drive), the system begins to upload (Windows is loading files ...) and then propose, on a nice table, the available languages, and choose .. .dropoff window
If, until then, everything seemed to unfold as it should, that's that clicking the "next" button to validate my choice of language an error message appears in a dialog box named RecoGUI:
ERROR:. IOCTL_GET_DISK_LENGTH _INFO \\ \ PHYSICALDRIVE0 The device is not ready.
When I press OK, then it is in French:
The hard disk # 0 is not available or incorrect RAID configuration!
I still presses OK (I do not have much choice) and then present the following window restoration that requires me to validate the language of the operating system to install ... French (Windows Win 7)
and states: The current size of restoration is to: Expert Mode
Again, I click OK and a warning box warns me that: All hard drives will be completely erased. Would you like to continue?
OK ... and cmd prompt appears that says (in short)
Checking for Drive V: V Drive not mounted ...
Ckecking for Drive C: ... C: unmounted!
ending with: ERROR Copying of Recovery Base files failed!
Press any key to continue (if I do, I find the Toshiba screen, and another cmd prompt that says so;
Waiting for ODD To Become available ...
ODD Drive D: ready.
Check for medium in Drive D; ...
Continue ...
Drvload: Successfully loaded X: \ Windows \ inf \ battery.inf.
No RAID - Normally continues ...
Installation in progress ...
Press any key to continue ... which, if I do, then placed below:
X: \ Windows \ system32>
That's where I stayed, because I always come back to the same.
Could someone be kind enough to help me solve this problem?
A big thank you in advance ...

From my point of few we should consider two possible issues.
1) faulty image on the new recovery disk
2) problem with HDD as well as the partitions
In my opinion you should check the HDD firstly.
You can run some tests, for example you could try to install the Windows system using a clean Microsoft Windows CD (image)
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit image can be downloaded here:
http://msft-dnl.digitalrivercontent.net/msvista/pub/X15-65733/X15-65733.iso
But of course, you will not be able to activate this system without a valid serial key
So you can use this image just for testing purposes.
In case the image installation would run flawlessly, your recovery installation problem might be related to the faulty recovery media.
In such case you should try to contact the recovery media provider in order to get another, new good working media.

Re: Satellite C660-115 Very strange Wifi problems!

I've been busy solving a wireless problem on a C660-115, still without success.
Satellite C660-115
Windows 7 - 64Bits
The case:
- Laptop is connected to the power supply: Wifi works fine, no problems
- Laptop disconnected from power supply: Wifi won't work, although there sometimes seems to be a connection with the access point/wifi router.
No internet/network communication
- Laptop connected to the power supply --> wifi works, unplugging the power supply --> after a 1/2 minute or so, no internet connection...
I tried to find a new driver, but we already use the latest version.
Then i switched off the "This computer may switch of this device to save energy" function, without succes.
Ideas anyone?

I had same problem with C660 running windows 7 losing internet access but not network connection whilst using battery power, but no problems when connected to mains power.
Solution; Change power plan to high performance. I found this sovlved the problem instantly.
