Satellite P500 performing poorly in windows 7

I have a satellite P500, Model No. PSPE8C-026006 for 3 years. Core 2 Quad Q9000 @ 2.00 GHz, 2.00 Ghz, 6 GB Ram, 1TB HD.64 bits windows 7 OS. Even though it's 3 yr old, it's still decent Spec
This laptop is preforming really slugging from brand new. It took 10 mins to boot up, and load all the start-up programs. I understood there are a lot of Toshiba preload programs. I disabled a lot of them, situation is not improving. Later on, I reformatted the laptop, and reinstall window 7, didnt install any Toshiba programs, situation is still not improving that much.
Once started. It's quite slow to open any applications. It preforms like memory is not enough, like running latest Windows on a really old computer. Sometimes, it randomly freezes for a few seconds while watch videos or playing games.
alot of times windows 7 freezes while I am downloading. I have to force shutdown, then restarted the computer. check with Microsoft, stil couldn't determine if this is a software or hardware issue.
we have another laptop with much less specs (Core 2 duo @1.5 Ghz, 3 GB ram). did comparison on exact same scenario. running much quicker and smoonth than P500. both laptops have exact version windows 7 home on. things just not adding up
I have tried reformat the HD, reinstall the windows 7, upgrade BIOS, delete any program on system star up. Nothing really effective. Please help

Hello
I have the same machine and use it daily. To be honest I agree with you: it is not the fastest machine but solid multimedia notebook. Few months ago Ive decided to tune it up.
The first step was RAM upgrade so Ive upgraded it to max level. It was a bit better but I was not so happy. Friend of mine told me that I should upgrade/exchange HDD with SSD so Ive ordered one.
After SSD exchange I was really surprised how fast notebook runs. It load Windows in 35 seconds only and open all applications in seconds. Everything runs extremely fast so if you want to have super P500 upgrade RAM and use SSD. Believe me you will be happy with your machine.
To be honest I like P500 very much and for me it is very nice Toshiba machine. I would not change it for any newer model.
What do you think about all this?

Need correct Win 7 driver installation order for Satellite P500/01G

Hi,
I have a Toshiba Satellite P500 and had to replace HDD after it was dropped by son.
I dont have the recovery disc so i loaded Win 7 from image on USB.
I down loaded all the drivers but have been frustrated by a few things.
The webcam seems to be impossible to get working despite trying every fix i could find online and some devices unkown in device manager.
The Toshiba site lists multiple audio,display and wireless cards wgich makes it hard to know the correct driver to install.
I needd a correct driver list and the order they should installed in
Model is Satellite P500/01G (PSPGSA-01G003)
windows 7 32 bit
Cheers

Hi
I have Satellite P500 too and Im really satisfied with it. I hope you are also happy with your machine.
To be honest I think you should use it with original Win7 64bit version.
As I can see you have an Australian model. I have UK model but I think installation order must be the same. So here it is:

Toshiba Satellite P500 "Display Driver stopped responding and has recovered."

I have a Toshiba Satellite P500/XEO PSPGSA - 1XE08L Windows 7 Home Premium (64bit) system. I’ve received the following random message Since I bought the computer back in 2011--- “Display Driver stopped responding and has recovered.” Since I have bought the computer I have returned it to Harvey Norman where I purchased it from for them to fix the issue. They have reformatted and whiped the computer a couple times aswell as going to the toshiba website and installing the latest drivers. I also have done the same steps as Harvey Norman.
The computer has been sent back to Toshiba also, It was overheating so Toshiba has put a new CPU into the computer to fix that issue and also the hard drive had a fault sector so Toshiba installed a new hard drive. When Toshiba had the laptop they tried to fix this issue with no result.
This issue is more annoying then anything because it happens often (a few times a day) and some of the time when the driver fails and the screen stays black, the only way you can fix this is a hard shut down by holding the off button.
I have looked at all the threads and have seen a lot of people having this problem. I have tried all the ideas and people's ways to fix this issue but nothing has worked.
This problem needs to be solved and I don't want to hear that I need to reformat my computer or restore it to factory settings like tech support have told me to do because both myself and Harvey Norman has done this and IT HASN'T Fixed the issue. This issue can't be good for the computer..
I am very dissapointed, after nearly 2 years of having this laptop the problem hasn't been fixed and Toshiba has no idea how to fix this issue. This laptop cost me over 2500 dollars and I have had more problems then I would have had with a 500 dollar computer.

No reply from Toshiba yet? Great customer service.
Anyways this is a snapshot of my screen going black and then coming back with a message popping up stating that the Display Driver has stopped responding and has recovered.
As you can see the window that I am in turns fully black after the driver recovers, I have to close the window and re open it. This happens many times a day.
I also am getting the display Driver crashing and the whole screen turns black and stays black, no matter what you do the screen stays black. I hit Cntrl + Alt + Del and nothing works making me shut it down by holding the on/off key
I do a lot of business on this computer and use it for all purposes. Due to this issue, every time the screen goes black and I have to hard restart the computer I lose all my work. Due to not knowing when this will happen I am having to lose a lot of work and start all over again.
This is ridiculous and Needs to be fixed. I am a Toshiba Customer and I have spent my money for the best of your products and I am very disappointed with the outcome. There has been no help, I have had nothing but issues and the customer service and support for your company is atrocious.
In future I will no longer be buying Toshiba and I know a lot of other people who have seen this issue and had the same problems with Toshiba support that they won't be using Toshiba either.

Satellite P500 - After BIOS update the number pad isn't working anymore

I just got a Satellite P500 and am running Windows 7. I downloaded all of the latest drivers and updated the system bios to version 1.70 (from Toshiba's support website). Now, my number pad on the keyboard is not working.
The numlock light is on and when I hit the "6" key on the number pad, it turns the light on/off but the behavior of the other keys does not change whether it is on or off. The "-" key enters a "6" but none of the other keys (except "enter" does anything.
I removed the keyboard driver and restarted to re-install the keyboard driver but that had not effect. The keyboard did work for a few days after I flashed the bios but seems to have stopped since I started using a USB mouse. I tried uninstalling the USB mouse driver but that did not do anything either (it was a Logitech driver).
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance

I'm having this exact same issue, Did the BIOS update, which fixed the problem for Vista X64, formatted the machine to windows 7, Number pad keys except 6 and - Register as the Fn Button, Bringing up the function shortcuts display when pressed in windows, recovered from 7 to Vista X64 using Built in recovery partition, Problem still exactly the same. i have reset BIOS to defaults twice now, which has not resolved the issue. the next step will be to reflash the bios with the update again to see if this will fix the issue as it did once before. Laptop Model P500/025 Or Part number PSPE8A-025002
*EDIT: I reflashed the BIOS with 1.70 Again and the number pad is back to normal. Seems like an extreme fix for a silly problem. Every time you format you have to Reflash your bios, risky no?*

Satellite P500 - Need Windows 7 drivers and tools

Recently had windows 7 professional 64 bit version installed on my Satellite P500-1DZ laptop but unforturnately all the free toshiba software got wiped off during the install.
I have downloaded all the relevant drivers from the toshiba website I was wondering is their any particular sequence of drivers I have to install to begin with? The other thing is would it matter if I was to install 32bit and 64 bit drivers together or is this likely to cause some kind of conflict? Would appreciate any advice on these two matters?
Thxs

Hello
If you use 64bit OS than install 64bit stuff only. By the way: Satellite P500 is not supported for Win7 32bit.
Best option for you is to install OS using recovery DVD, if you have created one. If not, install Win7 64bit using Microsoft installation disc.
All drivers, tools and utilities should be installed as listed below:
Windows 7
Intel Chipset Utility
Intel Management Engine Interface
Display Driver
Intel Turbo Boost Technology Driver

Help me Identify my Model number of Satellite P500

Hi To All,
            Guys I have bought a new toshiba satellite laptop P500 Series. I am having hard time to identify it's complete model number. I have search the internet all over but still haven't found any luck in identifying it. Could anyone please help me in this situation.
Model : Satellite P500
Part number : PSPG8U-08F02CB       Operating System : Windows 7 home premium 64bit
I would be very thankful for anybodys help. Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot for replying. I have everything. I have even made my recovery DVD's. I got it from Dubai. I just wanted to know the specs through it's model number in a bit more detail.
When I bought it even then only it said P500. Just out of curiosity I wanted to ask that can I install a 2nd HDD ??? There is a compartment below I saw....
I wanted to ask also that I hear a sound below the left speaker like if the wings of the fan are touching something !! The sound is barely there but when it is turned on it's audible for 2 secs a bit loud than becomes quite but still is there if listened very very carefully. Just wanted to ask is it something alarming or I should just forget it. Because I love it as it is performing awesomely. No problems what so ever. It runs smoothly. I even updated the BIOS. Although I read in the forums many complaints of people about the P500 & also about the BIOS problem that occured after the update from toshiba service station. Thanks to God my laptop is working smoothly.
I think that the some of the P500's very faulty machinery or hardware or software problems. Just my opinion though. Hope to reading your reply soon. Thanks

Satellite P500 - Autoplay message pops up

I have a Sony Memory card in my Satellite P500 which is dedicated to ReadyBoost. It seems to work fine but there is one minor irritation.
Fairly often (=several times a day) an autoplay message pops up on the screen asking if I want to see the files on the card via Windows Explorer. I don't, of course, as there is only one ReadyBoost file on the card. The message offers a range of autoplay options but these are by content- music, pictures etc - but not by drive, so a memory card cannot be identified.
As I say, it is only a minor irritation but does anyone know how I can persuade my machine that autoplay does not apply to my memory card?
Many thanks
David

Thanks Xardas & Peterk_1
In response to the various ideas -
I haven't tried a different memory card although I do have an SSD card in another slot. However the SSD can't be used for ReadyBoost according to Win7 (....this device does not have the required performance characteristics etc...). Maybe I should splash the cash to try another card. The driver seems ok though; I've checked a few times with the Toshiba driver download site.
The card doesn't show up in Control Panel/Autoplay but does in Computer>Devices with Removeable Storage.
I can't say that I have noticed any great difference with ReadyBoost except that I did originally used a simple memory stick for ReadyBoost and it seemed better when I switched ReadyBoost to the card. Could have been my imagination as the difference, if real, was slight.
I suppose I could switch off 'Use Autoplay for all media & devices' and just switch Autoplay on an individual basis - eg audio, pictures etc
Anyway, as I said, it is only a minor irritation but many thanks for the ideas - it is very good of you to help out.
David

Satellite P500 - Splinter Cell is very slow - low resolution

Hey guys,
I have a Toshiba Satellite P500.
CPU Intel Core2 Quad processor Q9000 (2.0GHz, 1066MHz FSB, 6MB L2 Cache)
Operating System Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit (includes recovery partition for Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit)
Screen Size 18.4" Widescreen HD+ TruBrite Display (1680 x 945), supports 720p
Memory 4GB DDR2 (2GB + 2GB) (800MHz) expandable to 8GB
Storage 1000GB (500GB + 500GB) (5400rpm) SATA
Graphics ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 (2286MB Total: 1GB discrete memory + 1262MB shared memory with ATI HyperMemory technology)
Optical Disc Drive DVD SuperMulti Double/Dual Layer
Now im trying to play games like, Splinter Cell Convictions and things of that sort, apparently, according to the Games website, i meet all the recommended specs. Yet when i play the game its on a very low resolution and all settings set to LOW!
Is anyone else having these problems with there Notebooks?

Hi Sammole,
Sine few days I have Satellite P500 too. I have to say its a very great notebook, I love it. The screen is really good and big and in my opinion the best option for games, videos and all other multimedia stuff. Furthermore its equipped with fast CPU and graphic card, ideal for playing games.
All my games running fine so I dont know what happened to you. Make sure that the eco mode isnt active, this will slow down the performance.
Make also sure that newest display driver from Toshiba is installed and latest DirectX version from Microsoft.
Have also a look Splinter Cell homepage. Maybe there is an update (patch) available that can help you. :)

Satellite P500-12D - Can I use the nVidia drivers?

The Latest NVIDIA Drivers on the Toshiba update website are 8.15.11.8642 but there are newer versions on the NVIDIA website. I would like ot update the NVIDIA Drivers but I am having difficalties.
I tried to install version 195.62 (Win7 64bit) for the Geforce 200M Series fron the NVIDIA SITE but the install doesn't complete. I get the message: "The NVIDIA Setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will now exit."
Does Toshiba only allow their own versions of the drivers? Is there a way to allow the NVIDIA drivers to istall?

Hi
Counter question: Why you want to use other display drivers? Are you not satisfied with the Toshiba drivers or can you notice any problems in Windows?
Theoretically its possible to use the drivers from nVidia directly but dont forget that they are not pretested on your notebook. Your graphic card could be overheating and so you will loose the warranty.
Satellite P500 is pretty new so I assume Toshiba will update the display driver in next time too. Just have a look on the page from time to time. ;)

Satellite P500-12D - Civilisation 4 doesn't start

Problem using Civilisation IV patched to version 1.74
Tried running the game without a patch and it would load into a black screen and stop.
Patched to version 1.74, it does the same thing but displays the message
"Error loading shader libraries"
Windows is up to date,
The Geforce drivers are up to date concerning those on the Toshiba site. I cannot seem to install
the later versions avaliable directly from NVIDIA which is strange as I'm using a Geforce 230M.

Hi
May I ask you if you have checked the system requirements of Civilization 4 firstly? Before you try to play a game you should check the system requirments. Is the notebook fast enough and very important: Is the graphic card compatible with this game?
Check this!!!
If you can fulfill the system requirements you should make sure that the latest display driver from Toshiba is installed. Dont use the driver from nVidia directly, it doesnt have an overheat protection.
And have you installed the latest DirectX version?

Satellite P500 neither booting nor installing OS

Hello & Hearfelt Greetings to all Forum Friends,
Please, could anyone kindly look into this problem for me.
My laptop, a Toshiba Satellite P500 is faulty. It will boot past post and as soon as it reaches the "Windows Starting" logo splash (WIN 7), it will freeze and it will stay like that for hours. I changed the hard disk, the memory modules, I tried to re-install the OS, I tried to boot off a Linux Live CD and Live USB and USB DVD Drive, but all to no avail. I changed the configuration on the BIOS, then reset it to default, again to no avail.
Do you think it is a MB fault or CPU or GPU?
And does anyone have a suggested possible repair method?
I thank you all in advance and will be more than pleased to assist anyone !
Thanks Again!

Hi
You have already replaced the common parts like HDD and memory.
This was my first idea the memory or HDD could be affected but if you are sure that new parts are ok, then the issue could be related to motherboard.
Usually if the CPU would be affected, then the POST could not be passed properly.
So it seems that you motherboard might malfunction which means that the fix would be really expensive since new motherboard is one of the expensive notebook parts

Satellite P500 (PSPE8U) - Can't find drivers for it

Hi there,
I've been up and down these forums to no avail. I've looked at loads of forums for drivers for my P500. I've been through the support pages of the toshiba websites of australia, Europe, Uk and japan.. no luck either. I've tried to contact the ebay seller I bought it from, apparently he's out of business now. Needless saying that the laptop came without any driver disk. Unfortunately one of the hard drives died on me and didn't have time to do a recovery disk with all the drivers. So now I'm really stuck. These are the details of the laptop should anyone have any brain wave for me -
P500 - PSPE8U
Windows Vista 64bit
ATI HD 4650
At the moment the biggest headache are the video drivers and my battery life is close to 30 mins without the toshiba software. The stock resolution is disasterous without the right driver. I tried the ATI46** drivers from their website but the application tells me that my hardware is not supported.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Chris

Hi Chris,
Satellite P500 with PSPE8U model number belongs to the US models and therefore all drivers and tools you can find on Toshiba US page:
http://www.csd.toshiba.com
Just check the bottom side of your notebook again for exact model number like P500-S1234, then you can find the correct drivers for you model. :)

Satellite P500 - Restart loop after using Toshiba recovery disk

Hi,
I have got a problem recovering SATELLITE P500. I had made the recovery disks. It boots ok from the recovery disk and formats the hard drive and copies the disks to the hard drive. It then starts windows setup and reboots.
Then it goes to a loop
1) Start up and says "Setup is preparing your computer for first use"
2) Toshiba banner saying please wait... Finnishing installation may take several minutes. Pleae do not interupt or shutdown the computer!
3) Windows logo
4) Shutting down...
5) restarts and goes to 1)
It would be great if some one could help me with this.
Many thanks,
Softari

Hello
I have noticed the same on my Satellite P500 but I must say its not an issue, its absolutely normal. The notebook will restart several times (10 times or more) to finish the installation.
You must know that a lot of drivers/tools will be installed and certain restart must be done to configure everything properly.
So dont interrupt the recovery installation, just wait a little bit longer and drink a coffee. Everything happens automatically and your notebook will be reinstalled with factory settings. :)

Satellite P500 - Solution how to run the sound on XP 32bit and 64bit

hi all..
Now I write here how I made something that seems impossible ...
I mean running sound on a laptop satellite/ qosmio p500/505 300/500
and other models with the Conexant high definition sound card on Windows XP x32/x64 sp2/sp3 ..
I know that many of us have a problem to run any sound at all,
the basic problem is that Windows XP does not have a built-in driver files
are responsible for recognition of the latest sound cards based on high-definition audio.
Last patch to the system kb888111 released by Microsoft aimed to fix this problem was released in 2005
and is not contained in the files that recognize the latest Conexant sound card.
next problem is correct driver. Toshiba has not released XP drivers for the Conexant sound card
for laptop qosmio / satellite 500 / 505 , so you should find and use the drivers from
the manufacturers of other models of computers. most of the drivers and the best have to download Lenovo and Dell.
Personally I used to run the sound in my P500 drivers Downloaded from the Dell web site
most important in the downloaded drivers, then you want to install is to edit .INF file which can be found in the folder
with drivers. This file is a text file so edit it in notepad.
edition .INF file is trailing in the path identifying our equipment.
hardware ID can be found for example in the device manager tab in sound, video and games controllers.
for most newer toshiba laptop hardware id is :
%HdAudioFunctionDriver.Pebble5071.DeviceDesc% = HdAudModel,HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_14F1&DEV_5069&SUBSY S_1179FFD4
but it may vary so please check it in your computer !!!
Those who managed to run the sound will certainly have to contend with another problem,
after restarting the computer has no sound and the computer loses the drivers and settings
and next to the watch does not appear on the speaker icon.This problem is also solved by me below.
Now to work ..
I assume that you have already installed XP x32 or x64, but not yet run a sound.
to run the sound, install the driver from the chipset, then the patch kb888111.
If all goes well,
in the device manager tab system devices you should found 2 entries "Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for High Definition Audio"
where are those 2 entries, click on each of them, right-click and select "update driver"
then you select "instal from a list or specific location" and then point the location where you saved the
files that you downloaded from the link No. 1
REMEMBER not to confuse and do not try to update the x32 system using file system designed for X64 and vice versa
when we make updates to the system should automatically detect the sound card in Device Manager should be about
5 yellow question marks, four belong to the Nvidia high-definition audio and one for the Conexant High Definition Audio.
Now install the driver from the Nvidia graphics card which contains the sound driver. after installation reboot
after restarting the computer. enter the device manager and there is no longer 5 yellow question marks,
is the only one this one belongs to the Conexant sound card, Right-click on this one yellow entry and
select "update driver" then you select "instal from a list or specific location"
and then point the location where you saved the files that you downloaded from the link No.2
pointing hand and forces the driver installation. after installation, you enjoy the sound.
REMEMBER not to confuse and do not try to update the x32 system using file system designed for X64 and vice versa
link No. 2, includes drivers which I have edited and which I myself use
in my Toshiba Satellite P500-1CG. these are the drivers for XP x32 and x64 sp2/sp3
link no. 1 http://www.speedyshare.com/files/23583256/UAA_BUS_DRIVER_update.rar
link no. 2 http://www.speedyshare.com/files/23583437/xp_pebble_drivers_for_toshiba.rar

believe that this solution will also work with other models of Toshiba computers that have built-in sound card Conexant. Ultimately, it will be only a matter of editing a text file. INF driver sound in which you will need to add before installation, your hardware id. and all that. enjoy

Satellite P500-193 - How to disable multimedia panel?

Hello!
I've just bought a Toshiba Satellite P500-193. It's great but I've got one problem. During online games and other games my hand sometimes 'click' on the multimedia panel and then the windows media player stars and game is minimazes to system tray :(
How can I temporary disable this panel? Picture of this panel: http://yfrog.com/87toshibasatellitep50002j

Hi buddy,
I have checked my Satellite P500 and it seems that you cant temporary disable these illumination buttons.
You can completely disable the illumination buttons in BIOS (BIOS setup > Advanced > System Configuration). There is an option called Function Button. You must set it to disabled.
But Im wondering about this problem, I dont have it while playing games. Alternative you can connect an external keyboard for playing games. :)
