Satellite C850D-107 - Game Recommendations

Hello, I'm looking for a couple of game recommendations for my laptop. I have the Satellite C850D-107. It has:
- AMD Dual-Core E1-1200 APU with AMD Radeon HD 7310 Graphics
- Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
- 4GB RAM
- 640GB hard drive
I've got Battlefield Bad Company 2 which works extremely well on it, and a couple of the older Total War games. I'm looking for something that has simialr specs to Battlefield in the form of another shooter or driving game. Would any of these work:
- Ghost Recon Advanced warfighter 1 or 2
- Silent Hunter 4
- any of the newer star wars games e.g. Jedi Outcast, Jedi Academy
Thanks to anyone who can help out
Pete

Yeah I thought that but I know how to use a computer but not how it works and with the variations in specs it's a bit mind boggling. Anyway I've got a couple of cheap games off Amazon - star wars battlefront 1 & 2, plus I've rediscovered a couple of the Total War games - Rome and Medieval 2 so I think I'm set now.
Thanks for the responses.

  • Switching my Satellite C850D ON

    Even simply turning a laptop ON is a problem for me, to say, I know nothing about computers.
    In the manual for my Satellite C850D it says press the ON button 2-3 seconds. I do time this by counting the exact number of seconds. Still, sometimes the laptop turns on, other times the on light turns off and the screen goes black, laptop is off. Or the start screen comes on, then the screen goes black and laptop is turned off again.
    This means on some days I have to press the ON button several times,each time counting the requisite number of seconds, before the laptop turns on. Is this not bad for the hard drive?
    More importantly, is this normal, the ON button being so very sensitive? Is there anything that can be done to change this, so I can just press the button and the laptop turns on, every time, and not just sometimes?

    Sorry mate but this is definitely not normal notebook behaviour.
    To power ON the notebook I never had to count the seconds
    Just simply press the button (touch it gently until the power LED would be ON) and release it.
    I dont know if your notebook is set to hybrid shutdown but you should check the following document:
    [Perform a complete shutdown in Windows 8|http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2B03EY0002R01.htm]
    In case the fast startup is enabled, the hybrid shutdown will be performed.
    I would recommend you to disable this option (Remove the checkmark at Turn on fast startup)
    Apply the changes and power OFF the unit as mentioned at the end of the document (select Power and click on Shut down)
    I think this changes the power button behaviour.

  • Satellite M30-107: WPA and WEP security software

    I wish to connect my Satellite M30-107 P-M 745 to an up-to-date MIMO G+ wifi network.
    I have bought a router and PCMCIA adapter card.
    I wish to set-up WPA and WEP security - do I need any special Toshiba software on the PC itself to do this, or do I just use the software that came with the Router and adapter card?
    Thanks

    Hi
    First of all you cannot both Wlan encryption WPA and WEP together.
    You can use either WPA or WEP. I would recommend using WPA because its safer.
    I agree with Barrie. If you want to use one of this encryption you should be sure that the WLan card and the router support this features.
    In my knowledge most of the newer Wlan routers supports WEP and WPA. In this case you have only check the WLan card if the option is available or not.
    By the way: You don't need any special software to set the encryptions.
    You can set the encryptions also in the Windows own WLan configuration area.

  • Satellite C850D - touchpad is acting very strange

    Satellite C850D
    Touch pad way to sensitive3 or broke keeps flipping over pages when touching pad
    very annoying

    So what system are you using? Win 8?
    In such case I recommend changing and modifying the touchpad settings.
    Here is an nice HowTo which I found on the Toshiba page:
    *How to change the Synaptics touchpad settings in Windows 8?*

    Change the sensitivity and test it again.

  • Re: Satellite C850D wont start-up

    Hi
    Yesterday my Toshiba Satellite C850D laptop with Windows 8.1 did an update when I turned it on, it took a while and once it got to 100% it said it ran into a problem and needed to restart which it did with no worry. It worked fine all day, didn't miss a beat. Then this morning when I turned it on the normal Toshiba logo popped up but then a greyish coloured screen with a flickering small line in the top left hand corner appeared and it wont load further then that screen.
    Every button on the keyboard I press makes a loud beeping sound. I have pressed f2 and f12 as it tells me too under the Toshiba logo to no help. Could this be from the update? Also can someone please try and help me?
    Many thanks.

    I would recommend you to start the system repair function.
    Power up the unit and press F12.
    Now you will see different bootable devices as well as the HDD recovery.
    Choose this option.
    Details:
    http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2A03ES0000R01.htm
    Then you will get new menu providing different options. Here choose: Troubleshoot and Advanced Options. In Advanced Options choose Automatic repair
    Hope this fix the problem

  • Satellite M30-107 does not boot correctly after Recovery disk usage

    Hi
    I've recently got hold of a second hand toshiba Satellite M30-107 laptop, and decided to freshen it up.
    I used the toshiba recovery disk, but after doing so the laptop no longer loads windows.
    When turned on it shows the Toshiba start up disk for about a second then goes to a blank screen and freezes.
    When turned off and on again a screen comes up reporting an error in shutting down and gives the options to start in safe mode etc. but choosing any of the options causes the machine to freeze.
    Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
    Thanks
    jt

    Hi
    Sounds a little bit like the notebook does not boot due to the Windows software issue
    Did you recover the M30 with the original Toshiba recovery CD which was supplied with this M30 unit?
    Maybe Im wrong but for me it looks like a wrong recovery CD was used and an image with non compatible drivers was installed
    You could try to install the OS from original Microsoft Win XP CD and could check if it would be possible to get the notebook ruining using clean OS.
    In such case we ( you and me ;) ) could find out if this issue could be related to the software or hardware.
    Bye

  • Satellite P845T-107 with Win 8 PRO but after Win 8.1 update it isn't PRO

    Yesterday at Saturn Salzburg bought the notebook.
    It has on the bottom a PRO Windows 8 label.
    Unfortunately, I first initiated the update to 8.1 and then only a backup created on a USB stick.
    Windows has muddled up the the Pro version after Win 8.1 update.
    Can not join domain, as I expect from a PRO version actually.
    How do I get the original Pro version again?
    The label does so, that there must have been a Pro license.
    How do I get the licenses number?

    Hi
    Regarding to the Toshiba Satellite P845T-107 specification page, the notebook was preinstalled with Windows 8 64bit.
    [Toshiba Satellite P845T-107 specification page|http://www.toshiba.de/discontinued-products/satellite-p845t-107/]
    It was not Pro version.
    You can also check all the details about this notebook on the Toshiba Unit Details

    I will need to put the serial number to get the information.

  • Unable to load Windows 7 on Satellite C850D

    I purchased this Satellite C850D in May this year and it had Win 8 pre-loaded. My son did not like it so I decided eventually to remove it and load Win 7. I took the hard drive out and formatted and repartioned the hard drive but when I have returned it and attempted to load Win 7 I get problems.
    Initially i could not get anything to work then v=changed the BIOS settings from UEFI to allow booting but now I continually get
    pxe-e61 error media test failure, check cable
    pxe-m0f exiting pxe rom
    reboot and select proper boot device
    I have removed the network capability with no luck as the hard drive is located in the BIOS settings and have attempted changing the boot order
    I have attempted to boot from USB, from CD/DVD and also loading direct to hard drive but nothing...and now told no operating system.
    Is there a workaround?
    Please help as i am getting to the point of throwing the laptop against the wall haha

    At the beginning I must say that I really hope you have created recovery media for original Win8 that you can use if you want to have factory settings again.
    Anyway, I don't understand what happen there but before we start to discuss about this issue check please follow documents

  • Satellite C850D-11C PSCC2E - CHIPSET driver for Win 7 64bit needed

    Hi,
    I've been stuck in a long convo over at the techsupportforum and was finally told to try here.
    So, I own a Satellite C850D-11C PSCC2E with Windows 7 x64.
    I can't seem to find the chipset driver for my laptop in the list of drivers.
    I first tried to install all available drivers, but it's obvious without a chipset I will have problems, and I do.
    The USB ports don't work like they should etc.
    Where is the chipset driver for the C850D-11C PSCC2E?
    Thanks!

    Hi
    Your notebook is equipped with an Ati (AMD) graphic chip.
    This means that the chipset must be from AMD too.
    According to some information which i found in internet, the AMD A68M Chipset should be built in the notebook.
    Furthermore as far as I know the ATI chipset driver is part of the ATI/AMD graphic card driver and therefore you should install the GPU driver to get the chipset driver installed

  • Satellite C850D-B600 - troubles with AMD Radeon HD 7310 Graphics

    Hi,
    I have laptop Toshiba Satellite C850D-B600 with AMD Dual-Core Processor E1-1200 CPU with AMD Radeon™ HD 7310 Graphics
    I tried the last version in the official site and I tried AMD Official Site and I got massage says (the version of your graphics adapter is not supported) and when I tried to install Toshiba driver the graphic card does not work too.
    When I tried to open AMD vision engine control centre I got this massage says (AMD vision engine control center cannot be started there are currently no settings that can be configured using AMD vision engine control center).
    Please could you help me :(

    Hi
    May I ask you what system did you install and what driver did you try to install from Toshiba driver page?
    It seems that this notebook Satellite C850D-B600 was released without any preinstalled Windows system and therefore it would be useful to know what system you are using.
    You should also know that the Radeon HD 7310 graphic is a part of CPU. Yes, this is not external graphic unit but its intergraded in CPU.
    Regarding the AMD vision engine control center
    >AMD vision engine control center cannot be started there are currently no settings that can be configured using AMD vision engine control center
    The AMD Vision Control Center offers additional CPU monitoring options from within the Control Center. I think the above message appears because there are no settings which could be configured. But this does not mean that the driver would not work.

  • Satellite C850D-115 / Win7 - the special funktion key mode ist not working

    Hi,
    the special funktion key mode ist not working, although I tried everything in Bios and softare " Toshiba Hardware setup utility".
    I still need to press "FN + " to use the special function keys, while enabled bios mode!
    The special function mode was never working, I have no more ideas. You...?

    As far as I know its no matter what system you are using. The special function key mode should work with Win 7 and Win 8.
    Here an Toshiba documentation.
    [How to change the Function Keys Mode|http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD2503B90001R01.htm]
    You bought this notebook without an preinstalled system. Right?
    And you installed an clean Win 7 on this Satellite C850D-115?
    Please ensure that all available drivers for C850D PSC9UE are installed. This includes the VAP (value added package), Hardware Setup, and others
    There is also new BIOS update v6.50-WIN
    Be sure your BIOS is up to date!

  • Screen turns blue and Satellite C850D-11Q shut down

    I bought a Satellite C850D-11Q runnings Windows 8 from Curry's in the UK for my daughter just before Christmas- was a very good price under 300- however she says that she will be browsing on the internet and or doing a variety of other tasks (no particular process seems to be implicated) and suddenly the screen will turn blue and the computer will shut down and reboot for no apparent reason. It has done this at least 30 times in a month.

    BSOD means that there is either an hardware problem or serious software issue.
    The BSOD can be caused by high temperature as well as RAM problems.
    So its not easy to say what cause the BSOD.
    Ensure that notebook is cooled properly.
    Furthermore if temperature is not the problem, try to recover the system using the recovery options described in user manual and in this document:

  • Re: Cannot install display driver on my Satellite C850D-109

    Satellite C850D-109 PSC9SE
    I'am trying to install the Display drivers. I downloaded the correct drivers from the driver download section.
    The unpacking and UAC comes up and i click yes.. Then nothing happens after that.
    Whats wrong.?
    Its a clean Windows install without all the crapware.
    EDIT: And where do i find the SM/chipset drivers?

    Yes you may. To remove all the crapware Toshiba installs that i have no use for and only slow down the pc.
    I'ts a clean iso(USB install) downloaded from technet. Phone registration was required and done.
    And no. I have not made a recovery cd.. All other laptop i fixed have ALL drivers available for download so why use that when Windows install is just as easy(normally) and does not include old drivers and software.
    *I have fixed it now.* But not with customized Toshiba drivers.
    Chipset drivers downloaded from wikidrivers.
    And Display drivers works with a old version. 12.7 Not available from Toshiba.
    Its just not ok Toshiba.. Not one driver installs from Windows update not even LAN..... That's user friendly.. Or not.

    Hi
    It seems that there is no generally solution for this issue.
    I have found and read some postings about the similar issue and it seems that the Toshiba recovery CD installation will eliminate the popup of this error message.
