Satellite P100-347: Where to get a better graphic card

Hi everyone!
I need some help about laptop graphics card. Is anyone can tell me any kind of websites where i can buy graphics cards? Really need because the TechGuys repaired my laptop and exchanged my original video card to a slower one.
I have realised just now when i've installed a system analyser program.
Thank you!

Hi
Before you buy something you should take a look into this Toshiba document:
[Is it possible to upgrade the CPU/GPU of a Toshiba Notebook|http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/FAQ7A01ZW0007R01.htm]
There you will find this statement:
+ GPU: In all cases the GPU is soldered on the system board and cannot be exchanged.+
I think this says everything!!!
Regards

Satellite A100 PSAARA: Where to get the newest graphic driver

Hi,
I'm trying to run a game and it requires that I have the NVIDIA ForceWare 163.44 Driver.
My notebook has an NVIDIA Go 7600 and I can only find 97.54
Are there any other driver updates for my notebook model or a place where I can recent drivers that will work?
Thanks.

Some people also reported same problems with Go 7600. It is not on the compatibility list of ForceWare 163.44, so, I'm afraid...
The card is close to three years old, right? Most updates are for newer cards, I think they don't bother testing new driver releases with older cards. So - get a new card :) or, maybe, try to install 163.44 (anywhere from the Net) for your system (32/64, XP/Vista) and see what happens. People did that, but a lot of them encountered just more problems and had to roll back... :(.
Good luck!

Can I get a better graphic card for my laptop?

Hi, my name is Mitchell and about a few years ago i got an Hp Pavilion G6 Notebook pc. I use my laptops mostly for school work but now ive started to play games on it and ive noticed that I can play some games because the graphic card is not the best. Instead of makeing a new gaming pc I wanted to just upgrade the graphic card on it? Am I able to buy a graphic card for it and instal it?
This question was solved.

Hi,
What is your G6 ? G6 is a series of many models/laptops and normally we can't upgrade video card on 99.5% of them. Not just G6 series, other laptops from HP and other vendors as well. We can only upgrade video card on some REAL games and work station class machines.

How to find exact motherboard model for Satellite P100-347?

Hello,
I am hoping someone could help me. I am looking for a new motherboard for my toshiba laptop as it needs replaced.
I own a pspa6e-03302cen Satellite P100-347 laptop and have not been able to find this board online anywhere. Although I have found two suppliers of many p100 motherboards they use alternate model numbers in which I cannot find anywhere in my documentation or on the actual computer. The model numbers they use are something like A000008350 or a number starting with k. I am pretty sure the supplier i have found has the motherboard i would need but i would need a list of all the alternate part numbers for my laptop or someway of finding the exact numbers. Any help on this matter is appreciated..
Thanks

To be honest I really do not believe someone here can offer you such info. As you know this info is for internal use and you can try to get this info from authorized service provider in your country. Sorry but I do not see better solution, except to wait here and hope someone can help.
Good luck!

Satellite P100-347: Blue screen appears on start up - unable to boot volume

Recently I left my 2 younger brothers playing NFS Carbon on my satellite P100-347, preinstalled with media centre 2005 edition, and now it fails to startup.
During the startup process eventually a blue screen is displayed for about a second and then it shutsdown (I manged to make out the words "unable to boot volume" from the blue screen).
I tried booting with an XP media centre DVD but it only gives me an option of reinstalling the OS with a price of losing all my very important data. Normally I would have recovered the system but I don't want to lose my data.
Is there anything i can do other than taking it to a technician?

Hi
Well, mostly the BSOD appears due to a hardware problem or serious software issue.
In your case the software problem is possible
Unfortunately, I think the new OS installation is the best way to get the notebook running correctly.
Now you want to know how to save the data and files well, I think you should remove the HDD from notebook and should try to connect the 2.5 HDD via external USB controller to another computer. Then you could save the files on the other HDD
I think, now you know that the regular backups are important and necessary!!!!

DVD drive does not burn/erase rewritables - Satellite P100-347

Hello,
I have purchased a Toshiba Satellite p100-347 PSPA6E laptop. It has a DVD Burner with model number: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GMA-4082N (firmware pt06). It has capabilities to burn all types of dvds (please see example using dvdino: http://tinyurl.com/2hbpqv ).
However, i cannot rewrite on my Maxell dvd+rw (1.4x speed) dvd. everytime i go to a software application to erase a dvd i've written on, it says format not recognised. For example Nero says "This disc is not rewritable and therefore cannot be erased. Please insert a rewritable disc".
The disc is rewritable because it says on the cover and also it burns on my friends rewritable dvd burner :(
Please can someone help :( i am really stuck and it would be much apreciated
Jas

Hello all,
thank you for your replies. Still no luck wth DLA :(. i installed DLA and i get the message 'write-once media such as CD-R or DVD-R is not supported by DLA' even though the dvd is a MAXELL Dvd+RW.
Now here is the strange part. I just borrowed a friends dvd external rewriter which burns the maxell dvd i have been using... it seems like that does not work on my laptop either now and works fine on my friends computer. perhaps it is not the dvd burner that is the problem but some setting on my pc. can someone please help :(.

Satellite P100-347 - problem with shutdown during gameplay

i have a problem with my Satellite P100-347(pspa6e)
After about 10 minutes playtime with games like battlefield 2, the SIMS2 and so on.. my pc shuts down...
I suspected it was shutting down because of high gpu or cpu temp...
i could feel that my notebook was hot, but after playing for a while its normal...
so i installed HWmonitor to check my gpu,cpu and hdd temp...
this is what i shows:
THRM: 61.C - 141.F
CPU: core0\1 - both 64.C - 147.F
GPU: runs at stable 85 - 90.C
this at normal use...not games....
HDD: 39.C
Something has to be wrong!! gpu temp has to be too high?!?
i have tried a fresh OS install....
thnx for all answers and help!

Hello
I agree with Akuma. The fact is that suddenly shutdowns are mostly caused by too high temperature and shutdown is actually reaction for ??hardware protection??.
So what you should do is to clean up the cooling grill.
There is just one problem: if this should be done properly the notebook must be disassembled. So the question is how you want to do this?
At the moment, try to place your notebook on higher position, maybe on 4 books to make more distance between the notebook and the desk. I just hope the air circulation will be better and you will be able to play a little bit longer. Please test it and let us know what will happen.

Cannot find Windows Vista 32bit Drivers for my Satellite P100-347

Hi,
I did a fresh installation of Vista Ultimate 32-bit on my Satellite P100-347 and on going to the driver download page, the vista drivers are no longer there!
Unfortunately without those drivers the laptop's performance isn't optimum. Does this mean Toshiba doesn't support my laptop model anymore? I hope not!
Could someone please point me in the correct direction!

Someone posted, that it may be server maintenance. I found a couple of posts asking for the same.

On my Satellite P100-347 cooling fan runs all the time

Hi,
I think I might have a problem with fan on my Satellite P100-347. It seems to be continually working at all times and is a lot louder than when I purchased the computer. Initially it used to just switch off and on when required, I think this might now be wrong.
Please help.

Hi Beata
I agree with Sanremo suggestions; its not known to me how old your notebook is but from time to time its necessary to clean the cooling fans. The dust and debris inside the notebook could prevent the cooling modules from properly working!
The properly fresh air circulation is also very important. Be sure that there is enough free space around the notebook. Do not use the notebook on the knees or in the bed. In such case the notebook cannot be cooled in the right way and the high temperature can damage some parts like GPU on the board.
But if you think there is an serious hardware problem you should contact the authorized service provider in your country.
Good luck and greetings to Poland ;)

Satellite P100-347 - nVidia drivers up to date?

Can Toshiba support please fix some up to date vista drivers for:
Satellite P100-347...(pspa6e)
this should be up to date at Toshiba`s homepage, because the drivers on
nvidia.com don`t work on my Toshiba notebook....
Thnx

It is well known that drivers downloaded from graphic card manufacturers support pages cannot be installed on mobile computers. Every notebook manufacturer must be sure that display driver will work well on specific notebook model and will not force graphic card to run on maximum level.
I hope you can understand why notebook manufacturers do this.
Anyway you can just hope that your message will be read by Toshiba support department. ;)

Satellite P100-347: Blue Leds - Can they be disabled/switched off?

I have read several topics in the forum about the P100 Harman/Kardon Speaker Blue LEDs/lights. None have expressed a final answer about how to switch off the LEDs.
I was wondering if any new update on this issue has occured. The last forum post about it was in February. Is it possible to switch off these annoying lights in the newer Satellite models? I would be willing to disconnect the leads if its an easy job.
My laptop is the Satellite P100-347 (SPA6E)
Thanks a lot

Hi Dan
Did you use the forum Advanced search???
I dont think so!!!
I used it and found several threads about this theme.
I searched in the Satellite P section for blue light and find these postings:

So why to post something which was already discussed here in the forum?!

Instant shutdown and reboot on Satellite P100-347

My satellite P100-347 keeps shutting down instantly then restarting. Any solutions becuase its still new and very expensive for a replacement.

Hi there,
it seems your machine is overheating and then it makes a shutdown because of hardware security reasons.
You said it happened when playing NFS carbon, this is a good sign for a heat problem of cpu/vga.
I suggest you to clean your fan and your cooling system, because when its clobbed with dust the system can not be properly cooled and it has to shutdown to prevent severe damage to your precious hardware. Just take a can with compressed air and clean your cooling system (but be gently, otherwise you will damage the fan which transport the air which is heated from cpu/vga)
Just a question: which drivers are installed for your vga? Do you have the original toshiba display drivers? If not, then the problem is self explaining because the timings of the original drivers from nvidia/ati are not suitable for mobile computers.

HP Pavilion Elite M9040N - Putting in a better Graphics Card

Hi,I've been searching for a even better Graphics Card than what I have in my computer right now.It seems that when I play the new updated Train Simulator 2015,my graphics can't keep up with the games graphics which they reccommend the Graphics Card 512MB with Pixel Shader 3.0 (AGP PCIe only) Iam trying to figure out which Card would be in the best to get and also be in mid price range or for a good deal.If anybody knows of a Graphics Card that I could upgrade from the current Nvidia Zotac GT 520 card that I have in my CPU already.I'd be greatful for anyone's opinion on this,Thank's! :-)

I have some sad news for you. The m9040n is below the minimums required for gameplay of Trainz 2015.
Your system has a 2.4Ghz processor, min is 2.8Ghz, recommended is an I-5 at 3.4Ghz.
The Zotac GT520 1GB 64bit card is too weak, but no sense upgrading the card. You do not the CPU power.
If your a steam internet sourced user, your ISP speed can be an added problem.  DSL is a no-play zone.

Looking for a better graphic card. Need feedback and suggestion

I'm looking to get a different graphic card but I'm not sure really what to buy,
These are my computer specs
Computer: Gateway Gt5228 Media center edition
OS: Windows Xp
Current graphic card: NVIDIA GeForce 6100 PCI Express Slot avaliable
I was wondering what would be a good graphic card that is a good significant upgrade. I'm looking for one that has a significant increase over what I have right now, it doesn't necessarily have to be the best out there.
I want to be able to play a game call Diablo 3
These are the High and low Performance, that the game will run with.

Honestly I wouldn't spend too much trying to upgrade your computer. It has an aging dual core Athlon processor, and only 2GB of RAM. Even with the highest top of the line card, with that CPU/RAM setup, your computer is probably going to struggle to run it.
