Satellite M30-951 graphic card or video BIOS does not work properly

On the BIOS and boot pages strange characters occur (screenshot www.audioberlin.com/M30-951_SCREEN.jpg).
XP boots up but the elements displayed freeze and the display becomes black for a second. The system becomes slow and does not react any longer.
Maybe these symptoms started after having tried to watch a movie which was not encoded correctly but I am not sure.
I already tried different video drivers (Nvidia FX GO5200), changed the BIOS from 1.7 to 1.6 and back again and reinstalled XP Pro. I also substituted the RAM. Nothing changes :(
Could a broken video bios be the problem? And how could this problem be solved?

Hi buddy,
no, its not a broken videobios. Your graphicscard is defective and thats a 100% fact. My girlfriend had an M30-244 and the same error occurred with her machine.
At this time she had warranty on her machine, and they replaced the Mainboard of the machine.
After the replacement everything was fine again. So if you have still warranty on your Rig then give it to repair; otherwise you can give the machine to ebay. :)
Sorry dude, but thats a not very nice fact, which I can tell you.

  • Satellite 1800-100: video-out does not work

    He,
    I just installed windows XP on my old Satellite 1800-100, but now my video-out does not work anymore. So I just downloaded the latest driver, but there's no way I can get it installed. According to Windows the new driver isn't newer, so it won't let me update it. And when i try to unistall the display driver, I have to reboot before it takes effect, and wile rebooting it automaticly installs the standard driver again.
    Can anybody help me?
    Greets,

    Hi
    Do you mean TV- out port or monitor port? As far as I know this unit is preinstalled with WXP Home and all drivers can be also used for WXP Pro.
    Did you preinstall your own OS (non recovery image)?

  • Installed Premiere Pro CS4 but video display does not work?

    I just got my copy of CS$. After installing Premiere I found two things that seem very wrong:
    1) video display does not work, not even the little playback viewer next to improted film clips located on the project / sequence window. Audio works fine.
    2) the UI is way too slow for my big beefy system.
    My pc is a dual boot Vista-32 and XP system with 4GB of memory installed and nvidia geforce 280 graphics board with plenty of GPU power. The CS4 is installed on the Vista-32 partition. My windows XP partition on the same PC with Premiere CS2 works great and real fast.
    Any ideas how to solve this CS4 install issue?

    I would like to thank Dan, Hunt, and Haram:
    The problem is now very clear to me. The problem only shows up with video footage imported into PP CS4 encoded with "MS Video 1" codec. So this seems to be a bug. The codec is very clearly called out and supported within various menues but video with this codec just will not play in any monitor or preview window. In addition the entire product looks horrible with respect to performance while PP CS4 trys its best to play the video. Audio will start playing after about 30 seconds. And once in awhile part of video shows up at the wrong magnification before blanking out again.
    My suggestion to the Adobe team: fix the bug and add some sample footage to the next release so new installations can test their systems with known footage.

  • Audio in video messages does not work

    When I record a video message for someone, the audio does not work properly. It either doesn't work at all (silence is recorded), or cuts out after a 1-2 seconds. The problem seems to be confined to the MP4 video/audio encoder used by Skype for video messages.
    My webcam (Logitech HD615) works properly when used for Skype calls (including the built in microphone), and when used in other applications. With other applications, I can also record videos and the audio is captured and encoded correctly. Although the problem does not seem to be the webcam, I have re-installled the webcam drivers and I have tried changing USB ports for the webcam.
    I have re-installed the latest version of Skype and verified that Windows has the latest updates (I'm using Windows 7).  I have tried re-booting a number of times when debugging this issue.
    I have looked at the mp4 file that's created in the temp folder when Skype records the message - the audio is missing/broken regardless of what player I use. This, and the fact that the webcam works makes me believe that the problem is in the Skype use of the audio/video encoder, or the encoder itself.
    Any ideas on how to solve this problem?
    Thanks,
    K.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    When you change the USB ports, make sure not to use USB 3.0 ports. I had a very similar issue with Logitech c920 webcam. Changing the port to USB 2.0 has solved the issue.

  • Video Filter does not work.

    Hello.
    I have been using Final Cut Pro 4 for a while and it worked fine before. But recently, any function of Video Filter does not work. I apply them to the clip, but the image does not show any changes on Canvas.
    Is the software's problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    For a reason unknown to me, FCP's preference files (there's 3 of them) will sometimes become corrupted and need to be trashed. Usually the symptoms are things just not working as they did earlier, or weird issues like the 3 Way Color Corrector looks different than before ... stuff like that.
    FCP Rescue is a freeware app (yes, you'll need to download it) that will create a backup set of preferences, thereby retaining all of your settings. Then when (not IF, but when) FCP's preferences become corrupted, you can run FCP Rescue to replace the bad set with a fresh new set.
    Otherwise you can delete the files yourself (make sure FCP isn't open at the time) and the next time you launch FCP, it will revert back to the factory settings.

  • Google talk video plugin does not work any more with Firefox 4. When clicking on the video chat icon, I am repeatedly asked to install the plugin, and it never works.

    Google talk audio/video plugin used to work fine on Firefox 3, but does not work anymore on Firefox 4. Every time I click on the video chat icon on google talk, I am asked to install the plugin, even if I have already installed it before. The plugin works properly on the latest version of IE on the same PC.
    Thanks for your help. I do not want to switch to Chrome or Opera, but if this bug is not fixed, I will have to.

    Not sure if installing IE 9 did it or not but I now see the camera in IE, FF and Chrome. Could be Facebook fixed the problem also.
    Thanks for the reply.

  • HT201272 i paid and downloaded Card Game ( UNO) is does not work

    Uno card game off apps store does not work on my i-pad 4th generation

    Have you tried deleting the apps and re-downloading it ? If that doesn't fix it then you could try contacting the app's developer (there should be a link on its description page in the store).
    If you don't get a reply from the developer then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that app and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
    Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

  • Satellite C50-B-14Z - Wi-Fi does not work properly

    I've bought my laptop 1 week ago (Satellite C50-B-14Z), but Wi-Fi is not working properly. Most of the time, it looks like it's connected to my network without any problem. However, It does not work, I can't surf the web.
    The router is new and all the conection has been checked by a staff member from the internet company.
    What can i do? All software is updated.
    Thanks.

    As mentioned by previous user; first of all you should check if the notebooks internet connection would work using the LAN.
    In case you will be able to connect to internet using LAN, you should check the WLan settings.
    For example: I would recommend you to disable the WLan encryption (within the router configuration menu) and to test the WLan connection to an open (not secured) wireless LAN.
    Of course this should be done only for testing purposes.
    In case the connection would work, test different kind of encryption (WPA/WPA2 AES TKIP)

  • UPGRADED MOTHER BOARD, GRAPHICS CARD, CPU. AUDIGY NOW NOT WORKING PROP

    Any advice you could give would be great.
    just installed gigabyte 95p main board. PCI express Inno3D Geforce 6600GT graphics card. P4 3.4Ghz CPU and Gig ram.
    I have an audigy platininum with dri've bay.
    It keeps crashing the system. the mixer dont work nor the remote.
    when re-installing drivers, the system crashes. I've downloaded latest drivers.. the system crashes when I try to install them. each crash gives me the blue-screen-of-death then restarts the system. I cant see any conflicts, I'm not a novice but I dont know much about the the registry or irq's etc.

    Hi
    Error Message: "BAD_POOL_CALLER Stop 0xC2."
    Translation: You're trying to print or use Windows Explorer to open a document that
    contains a bad or corrupted font.
    Solution: Microsoft determined that this is a problem with Win2000 Professional,
    Win2000 Server, and Win2000 Advanced Server. A hot fix is available by contacting
    Microsoft Help And Support via phone (visit the Help And Support site at
    www.support.microsoft.com to obtain an appropriate phone number). However, keep in mind
    that Microsoft recommends installing the fix only if you're experiencing a problem and
    that you will be charged a fee for calling the Microsoft support number unless the
    support staff determines that the update will resolve your problem.

    P.S.
    Did you had Dr.Watson running when crash occurred. Utility writes (append) all the
    information into a file called 'drwtsn32.log' (path C:\Documents and Settings\All
    Users\Documents\DrWatson). Recent information is the last one.

  • Tecra S1 boots correctly but does not work properly and has BIOS error beeps

    Toshiba S1 has started to crash regularly after a certain period of use.
    Sometimes: BIOS error beeps: Short-short-long.
    Sometimes: Bluescreen of reduced screen size/reduced resolution.
    Sometimes: Just crashes (frozen) and has to be shut off manually.
    As Toshiba uses its own BIOS, does anyone know what these beep sounds mean or can provide support?
    Is it a hardware / connection problem between graphic card and monitor or is it a memory error?

    Hi,
    did you tried to make a memory test? If not, I would suggest you to make it. For such tests I would prefer using "memtest86" (www.memtest86.com)
    Otherwise I would assume that your mainboard is malfunctioning and you will have to bring your machine to an local ASP.
    If you need help finding an ASP, here is a good site:

  • FLY VIDEO 98FM does not work on K7N420 with XP1800 and higher CPU\&acu

    I upgraded my CPU from TB800 to XP1800+. However, this new cpu brought a new problem to my system. My FLY VIDEO 98FM TV card gave up working with 1800+ and 2000+. I tried two FLY VIDEO 98 boards on that system and they both didn't work with XP1800+ & XP2000+.
    Windows recognized the card but, it did not work  ?(
    PS: Cards worked properly with TB800  ;(
    To sum up, I guess it's an incompatibility issue and can be fixed by a BIOS update
    MSI K7N420 Pro(BIOS 2.6)
    Athlon XP1800+
    2x256 MB DDR SDRAM

    what all did you change?
    if it worked on the nforce with the 800mhz... its not the bios..
    the new CPU dose use more power.. so it might be power related
    did you change your windows? change anything els ?
    if you put the 800 in now would the TV card work? you dont need to reinstall windows or anything to change the CPU

  • Satellite P30: Power Saving does not work properly

    Hello
    I have a Toshiba Satellite P30 (with Windows XP) and I'm having problems with my Power Saving mode. When I use it for games and other high power applications it gets really hot on the edge of the moitor and shuts down.
    It is been doing this for the last month or so. Before that there was absolutelly no problem. I've checked the TPSTrace file and got this error message:
    A Fatal error has occurred. This program will be terminated. code: 0x0 Location:MainFrm.cpp(1317)
    I don not know what to do with it and how to solve the problem. Any ideas?

    Hi Thomas
    It is not easy to give you any precise diagnostic but in my opinion your notebook is not hot because of power saver. Satellite P30 is pretty old notebook and maybe you should clean up your notebook.
    Have you done this before?
    This error seems to be serious and what you can do is to remove preinstalled power saver and after restart try to install it again.
    Just for info: power saver tool is very useful but definitely not so important and your system can work well without it. Because of that I presume hot notebook is because of dust inside. With more CPU and graphic card activity hardware will be hot and it must be cooled properly. If the cooling grill is not clean this can not happen. at the beginning notebook will be hot but one day it will probably switch off without any warning.
    At first step try to clean your notebook and remove all dust under cooling grill.

  • Satellite L40 - Sleed and stand-by does not work properly

    I have a Satellite L40 notebook and it worked properly until now. I turn it on and after that I put it on the sleep mode (stand-by mode); when I want to use my system, so to get it back to the normal mode (I press the turn on/off button to get out of the sleep mode), the Windows Vista 32-bit restarts - it doesn't get back to the moment that I left it before the sleep mode.
    Therefore, Windows Vista 32-bit restarts and the "Windows has been turned off incorrectly" screen appears instead of returning to the system configuration that I left it before the sleep/stand-by mode.
    What can I do to fix this problem and make the sleep mode work properly?

    Hi!
    In your case I would make a BIOS update. You can search for updates on the Toshiba website
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com
    You should also look in the power mangment. There you configure what happened when you close the display, press the power button and so far.
    I have found a really good thread about this:

  • Wireless connection on Satellite A60-743 does not work properly

    i can't get any connection to the wireless internet with my notebook. how can i use it? this notebook should have wireless, but i tried to connect and there happens nothing! please help me!!!
    best regards,
    nasi

    Hi
    Dont be mad at me and sorry for my next hard words but such statements like this notebook should have wireless or i tried to connect and there happens nothing are bulls**t!
    Do you know what Wlan is and how it works?!
    Regarding your statement I dont think so!!!
    First of all why you suggest this notebook should support the WLan card!? Who told you this!?
    I have checked the hardware configuration of this notebook and the Satellite A60-743 was delivered WITHOUT the minPCI WLan card!!!
    Why you dont check this in the first step!?
    You should check the WLan card availability in the device manager. Under network adapters you should see the WLan card.
    If the WLan card does not appear you have NO WLAN!!!
