Satellite P750/02Q - Should I underclock GPU?

I've started using betas as others have said on this forum. I've found that the laptop seems to run hotter.
On idle web browsing all temps are in mid 40s and can get up to mid 50s if I play a 3D video.
I don't game that much. I've never received a blue screen or force shutdown yet.
However, occasionally I get drivers failed to respond and windows recovered errors. I use a cooling pad constantly and I'm just wondering if I should underclock. I have only a little interest in performance as I don't trust any laptop company to make one that actually runs at reasonable temperatures.
Let's face it they are always under consumer pressure to make smaller quieter laptops of course they'll let them run hot. One more confession, I have a P750/02Q I'm just posting here cause I think you guys know more about the beta drivers.
Another thing there is a flickering short horizontal line when I play 3D videos which is half green and half red. I don't know if that means anything.

If you are not playing games I don't think you need new/beta drivers just for playing 3D video.
You should however look for update of your Video Player Program... Don't know what you use but search for update. That might solve your problem with your red/green line.

Satellite P750/02L - Extended Warranty question

Hey
I was wondering if anyone could help me about my extended warranty.
My computers recently been playing up and I need to take it back in but its past its limited warrant and I have lost track of my extended warranty.
I have a Laptop Satellite P750/02L. I remember registering for the extended warranty on the Mytoshiba.com.au website but can't find a copy of it saying that it has the 2 year warranty and I was wondering where I could find it.
I really hope someone can help me.

Hi
Get in contact with Toshiba service center in your country Australia and they should be able to check if your notebook is covered by warranty:

Win7 install with multiple/all the FAILS! Satellite P750 (PART NO. PSAY3A-02T001)

Laptop: Toshiba Satellite P750 (PART NO. PSAY3A-02T001)
Installing: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (64 bit)
Background: Laptop is around 2-3 years old now. Formatting and installing a fresh copy of Win7. Doing this for a close friend.
Issue #1: Using the "Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool" off the microsoft website, I attemped to install Win7 via USB drive (had so many issues before using this tool ). It boots to USB perfectly and starting going through the installation options. When it gets to "Where do you want to install Windows?" (creating and seleting HDD partitions) I hit a major road-block!
p.s. USB in USB2.0 as I originally tried 3.0 and coudln't even make it that far....
I get the Error "Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing systm partition. See the Setup log files for more information." Basically the Primary disk is created but the system disk wont.
p.s. The HDD still does show up and worked before this all. it's not a failed HDD.
I've tried (most of these were "Fixes" I found on forums that never worked):
1. Creating different size partitions, multiple partitions, leaving GB's of "Unallocated Space" hoping it will create a system partition. Didn't work.....
2. Formating the whole HDD using Command-line and wiping it completely clean. Honestly, this was stupid because now I cannot even go back! Didn't work.....
3.Changing BIOS settings and praying it will work. Most of the BIOS settings these fixes told me to change, aren't actaully on this Toshiba model. I even restart to default settings. Didn't work....
4. Even tried a "load Drivers" fix I found. The fix asked for a SATA driver, but I got every driver just incase. Not a single driver even appeared on the "Select the driver to be installed" screen. Unticked the "hide drivers.." box also... So that didn't work either...
At this point I was pretty mad so I went and purcahsed some DVD-RW's to burn the ISO onto and try that instead.
Issue #2: Using the same tool as before, I installed Win7 onto a DVD. I then ran the DVD on my PC to test and the setup.exe showed up. I then put the DVD in the Toshiba laptop and using F12 to select "ODD TSSTcorp CDDVDw TS-L633F" (the other options were "HDD/SSD, USB and LAN).
p.s. The DVD drive lights up and I can hear it reading the disc (normal slight humm).
I then get:
"Intel UNDI, PXE-2.1 (build 083)

or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot Device and Press a key_"
To me, this is the LAN controller boot, but it didn't even read the disk.
I've tried (and again, most of these were "Fixes" I found on forums that never worked):
1. Changing Boot priorities and settings. I even tried to disable LAN boot in BIOS (but you cannot on this model). Didn't work..
2. Yelling at it and holding myself back from hitting it with a hammer. Still attempting..
3. Praying to a higher power. Didn't work...
Ideas I have left that may work:
1. Downloading and burning a different ISO. maybe even trying 32bit. (was 64bit before starting)
2. Waiting for someone much smarter than me to reply on this post and help me!
3. Telling my friend that "It's not my problem, while I run off into the sunset!"
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP! This is doing my head in!
and yes, I've tried turning it off and on again

oh my **bleep**ing god...... I am so mad right now! 95% butthurt infact!
MY RAGE IS STRONG!
Just found out off the owner that the DVD drive doesn't work..
SO! The DVD drive doesn't work and it seems like the only way to install Win7. I have a feeling that this model doesn't do USB very well....
will an external DVD drive work for this? or some I find someone with a toshiba that has the same model dvd drive inside and swap them for an hour while I do it...
or should I try LAN... havn't one LAN install in a home environment before..

Satellite P750 - Shutdown issue after removal of external monitor USB 3 hub

Have operated my Satellite P750 laptop with external DeII monitor for a year or more now.
Monitor has a Usb 3 hub. (i have some ext HDD plugged into these. So far no issues. I unplugged the monitor usb hub from laptop (to create wndows image backup straight through the sole usb3 port on laptop.
After this finished i found that i was unable to shutdown or restart laptop. It gets to the light blue 'shutting down' screen; HDD light flashes for 5/10 secs then it stops accessing disk with power still on and stuck at blue shutdown screen; laptop even sounds like it shuts down.
Two things, i can hold down power button till hard stop, then press again to restart, and all is fine; no error messages when win 7 start up again. Or i have once just left it sitting without holding power button- it seemed to be like this for about 4 hours (monitor went to standby cause idle) before powers down.. When i start laptop after this i get windows warning failed to shut down properly.
It took me a while to work out which device was causing the issue; but can now replicate any time.
So - unplug monitor usb hub from laptop; laptop fails to shut down/restart.
Replug DeII usb hub back to laptop; no problem laptop back to normal shut down.
Any ideas??? (this means whenever i go portable with laptop i have to hard shut down/ hold power key to turn it off????)

To be honest I dont know why the system cannot shut down properly without connected USB monitor hub but system shut down issues are mostly related to some processes which are running in the background.
Sometimes such processes are locked and could not be closed due to different reasons. This may prevent the system from shut down
Maybe this is the case
Try to clean the system as well as the registry using CCleaner (its freeware tool).
You should also check what processes are running in the background maybe one of this processes is related to the hub which cause your shut down problem

Missing RFBUS Driver for Satellite P750-11W

Hi !
I have Toshiba Satellite P750-11w and Toshiba RFBUS Driver fail and bluetooth not go due to this.
I download latest drivers and installed...but this fail
Can you help me?
Bye & thanks

Well, this is really strange
The RFBUS driver is part of the Toshiba Bluetooth so it should work.
Did you install Bluetooth Filter Driver Package firstly?
In my experience this should help you
Last solution might be the recovery procedure of course its drastic procedure but it should work
Here is also another thread and the install Bluetooth Filter Driver Package installation helped.

WEb camera initializtion failed in Satellite P750-114

Dear All,
I am facing a problem with the web camera in my Toshiba Satellite P750-114. The laptop is less than two months old and the web camera was working fine, then it suddenly stopped working. The error message is "Web camera initialization failed. Please check your camera device and restart application or computer". The Microphone stopped working as well, as it is related to the web camera device. The operating system is Windows 7 64bits. It seems that the operating system is not seeing that there is a webcam anymore. I tried the following things:
1- I uninstalled the web camera driver, downloaded the most recent driver from Toshiba website (the link is http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/supportMyProduct.do?service=UK) , and installed it, but it did not work.
2- I restored the original setting for the laptop, but still the web camera is not working.
Two ways I am using to test the web camera: the Skype and "Web Camera Application" from Start/Toshiba/Utilities
Please if someone has any idea on how to resolve this problem, the laptop is band new and it is fantastic, but this problem is annoying. I searched the Internet for similar problems, some Toshiba models suffer from this problem but not P750-114,
Please help
Bashar

Generally speaking, after recovery image installation all hardware components should be recognized and installed properly so with this factory settings everything should work as on the day after you purchased your notebook and started it for the first time.
If the cam doesn't work with factory settings I can imagine there is some hardware problem.
I recommend you to contact nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. They can check cam functionality using their diagnostic tools and exchange cam if necessary.
Of course it will be covered by valid warranty.

Does Satellite P750-10E supports keyboard backlight?

Hello,
Yesterday I bought Toshiba Satellite P750-10E and I'm not sure if this model has keyboard backlit, because in few reviews I saw that this model has keyboard backlit but I dont have it, or dont know to turn it on.
Please help me to fix this problem, I really need keyboard backlit because many times type in dark room. :)
BTW this is awsome notebook, Im very greatfull and happy to have this model, just need a keyboard backlit if its possible to turn on.
Thank you for answers. :)

Hi
Checked the user manual of the P750-10E but didnt find the info that the keyboard backlight would be available I think the notebook does not support this feature.
Furthermore if the keyboard would support backlight, then the Z button should contain a tiny sign which would refer to this feature.

Satellite P750-10R - BSOD while gaming - wrong graphic card?

I've been having trouble with this laptop since I got it. I've hardly been able to play any games on it even though it surpasses even the recommended specifications. Sometimes it will freeze, other times it will BlueScreen.
I've taken in to the shop three times, the last just two weeks ago, and it hasn't changed. Today I was comparing the specs and I noticed this on the Toshiba products specs:
Graphics adapter type : NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M with CUDA Technology and NVIDIA Optimus Technology
memory amount : 2,048 MB dedicated VRAM. Available graphics memory can be expanded using system memory, through TurboCache technology: up to 3,793 MB with 4 GB system memory installed as shown in the NVIDIA control panel, and up to 4,095 MB with 5 GB system memory (with pre-installed 64-bit operating system).
memory type : DDR3 Video RAM (resp. Video RAM and system memory combined)
connected bus : PCI Express
[This is a screencap I took from the laptop.|http://i.imgur.com/NezvzgI.png]
I really am hoping I'm misunderstanding something here. Do these match up?
EDIT: The BSoD I get most often is this one: Blue screen Error - BCCode: 1000007e

Hi,
Can I add a question to this thread please? I have a Satellite P750-13M and have had it for over a year and a half. Mainly I use it for work and some low intensity games, but recently I started using it for more graphic intensive games. Often the computer overheats and crashes when doing so. While investigating the problem I came across the same NVIDIA screen shot that wertxi posted. According to the NVIDIA control panel I only have 64MB of dedicate VRAM, but the P750-13M specs page ...
http://www.toshiba.ie/discontinued-products/satellite-p750-13m/
... says that I should have 1GB of dedicated VRAM. Is this a discrepancy or am I not comparing like with like?
I haven't been having any blue screening, just over heating and slow graphics rendering, although the machine (supposedly!) exceeds the recommended requirements for the game.
Thanks,
Simon
EDIT - Just to clarify, in case I rambled too much, I do have both display adapters listed in device manager and both are up to date. My query is about the discrepancy in the dedicated VRAM indicated in the product specs and in the NVIDIA control panel.
Thanks again

Satellite P750 - no sound coming from headphones

I have a pair of bose headphones but cant seem to get any sound out of it,
i have a satellite p750,
need help

Hi
Try to reinstall the both sound drivers: Realtek and nVidia which are placed on Toshiba European driver page.
Then go to control panel and there you should find the Realtek HD Audio Manager and check the settings as shown on the screenshot:

Satellite P750-10C: SSD not so fast - get only 300MB/s

Hi,
Today I bought Samsun 840 PRO 128GB with 390/500MB and install it in my notebook, but in test I get only 300MB/s, why?
Its SATA III port, so I should get this 500MB like other person.

Hi
From my knowledge some models of Satellite P750 series would support two HDDs
I think that the HDD1 and HDD2 would be connected to port 0 and 1 and for both HDDs 600MB/s (2x 300MB/s ) data throughput would be reserved.
I think in such case even if the notebook would support one HDD, only 300MB/s would be possible.
SATA port 2 where ODD is connected would support only 300MB/s

Satellite P750-02J - Not shutting down or hibernating

Ok so I bought a Satellite P750/02J just over a week ago and from the very beginning I was having trouble shutting it down. It goes through the process of shutting down as normal but once it reaches the blue 'shutting down' screen it freezes and it can stay like that for hours (even overnight!).
Also it wont got into hibernate properly either. Once I click on the hibernate button, it seems to be working and the screen goes black but thats all that happens. The fan is still running, the lights are still on and the keyboard is still responsive.
It seems to be fine if I havnt been using any programs but if I have previously had anything open, even if it has been exited properly it wont shut down or hibernate as it should.
Any ideas on why this is happening and how to fix it??

Hi Avery8,
May I ask you what operating system you use and is it the preinstalled Windows version from Toshiba?
The reason is that some background programs could block the shutdown process so at the moment I doubt it is hardware related issue. Interesting to know would if the same happens with factory settings (recovery installation).
Have you connected external devices expect AC adapter? If yes remove them and test it again.

Satellite P750: Unable to install Bluetooth Stack driver on Windows 7 (x64)

Hello.
I own a *Satellite P750-02T* (Part no. *PSAY3A-02T001*).
In the order what I did:
1) I formatted its HDD and reinstalled OS to *Windows 7 x64 Ultimate SP1*.
Then I downloaded *ONLY BIOS and the drivers* from [its Downloads page|http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/computers/satellite/p750/psay3a-02t001/download?os=25] :
2) I updated its BIOS to *v1.90* (the laptop came with v1.80)
3) I installed all the drivers:
- both LAN and WiFi
- Intel Chipset (latest available)
- all video drivers (Intel HD Graphics, NVIDIA Graphics, and Intel HDMI)
- Card Reader
- Realtek HD Audio (latest)
- Synaptics Touchpad
- USB3.0
- IR
- TV-Tuner
However, I'm *unable to install the Bluetooth driver (v8.00.06(T)* )...
When I run setup from the [above-mentioned page|http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/computers/satellite/p750/psay3a-02t001/download?os=25] it partially detects *'Bluetooth USB Controller-10 from TOSHIBA'* (USB\VID_0930&PID_0215&REV_001)
and then installation simply freezes displaying +'Installing the Bluetooth Driver. Please wait+.' and stays like that forever...
I also tried downloading a driver from [another location|http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/index.php?page=download-toshiba] for TOSHIBA notebooks - v8.00.02(T):
and followed installation instructions displayed under 'Details'
but there was the same outcome - the setup simply freezes...
Installing Hotfix (*KB978258*) recommended there didn't work either - the message '+The update is not applicable to your computer+' pops up.
And I understand why - this Hotfix is [already included|http://download.microsoft.com/download/E/B/A/EBA55FE2-373A-4351-9346-6D762B79AA69/Updates%20in%20Win7%20and%20WS08R2%20SP1.xls] into Service Pack 1 for MS Windows 7.
I spent hours searching on the Internet for a solution. Although there were some similar cases none of the recommendations actually worked. I tried installing:
- WiFi driver before installing Bluetooth (someone suggested that those two are the parts of the same card);
- resuming installation in Safe Mode;
- *Toshiba Value Added Package* hoping those tools somehow will kick in.
Nothing worked...
It's interesting that when for the sake of experiment I tried to run installation for my generic Bluetooth adapter (using the driver [for non-TOSHIBA notebooks|http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/index.php?page=download]) then everything run smoothly!
*Using Bluetooth connection on this laptop is very crucial for me.*
I hope I shall not have to return this wonderful notebook as I know TOSHIBA is one of the best manufactures and am sure there is a solution to this problem.
Thank you very much.
Evgeny.

Windows thinking Ctrl key is stuck on Satellite P750

Yes, I've done some thorough googling and searching of this forum before posting. No prior topic quite resembles my problem; and the solutions don't help. Sticky keys box in the Control Panel is unchecked, not using any aides--the computer is brand new with barely anything installed and zero customization.
Using my Satellite P750 (purchased just in October 2011), every once in a while after simply using Firefox or Chrome (either one)--using nothing but the mouse pad and the left mouse button--the size of the font of the text in the browser randomly increases, and after that the computer starts thinking the Ctrl key is being held down. (Ctrl +Alt + Del does nothing, only rebooting the machine). I realize that I'm inadvertently toggling some function, but what? Looking around Control Panel, nothing seems to be close to "if user moves curser, increase font size and make the Ctrl key stuck".
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks, had the same problem with brand new Toshiba Laptop.
Ours also had external mouse attached. With OS thinking CTRL key stuck, Excel went ape and began doing all manner of evil upon a very complex spreadsheet we were working on.
One note: On ours after getting to Mouse Properties, there was not an 'advance' option. Instead we had to select:

Re: Satellite P750 with 2 external monitors

Hi,
I am just wondering if it is possible to have two "external" LCD monitors connected to my Toshiba Satellite P750?
One on the VGA and the other one on the HDMI perhaps?
Cheers
Niels

My system is factory standard Windows 7 64-bit with no modifications of any kind. The system automatically detects the monitors.
I can switch between displays using the Fn+F5 key or by using the right-click menu from the Windows dekstop (Graphics Options - Output to - Extended Desktop...) or by using the Intel graphics setup in 'Graphics Properties'.
The VGA attached display shows up as 'Monitor' and the HDMI attached display shows as 'Digital Display'.
So I can have any combination of two of the three displays: built-in display, VGA or HDMI. It would be nice if I could use all three at once but that seems to be a hardware limitation.
I can set any display as tthe primary Windows monitor. In my case I have the setup 'Graphics Options - Output to - Extended Desktop - Digital Display + Monitor' which makes the HDMI display the primary. Using the 'Extended Desktop' configuration means that I can drag windows from one monitor to another as if they were one large monitor, but I can configure them separately and play full-screen games on just one monitor while the second monitor is used to display other information.
I made sure of being able to use two external monitors before I bought this system. I discovered the benefits of dual external monitors many years ago and I would hate to go back to being restricted to just one.

FN + F8 not working on Satellite P750

we have had no trouble using the wireless connection on our Satellite P750 notebook but this morning my husband did the FN+F8 button, the light went out, came back on almost immediately and we lost wireless connection.
When we push FN +F8 again its says to turn on the wireless communication switch.
Please note - we have searched top, bottom, both sides and back and cannot find any switch, or anything with the same symbol that the F8 button has on it that mighjt be a switch.
Neither did he turn any switch off befoire or after pushing FN+F8 so I don't know how the switch or wherever it is could be turned off.
On looking under network connections there is nothing to indicate that the wireless isn't working. the cell phone can connect via the wireless so its something on the computer itself.
I have searched other threads and nothing helpful has come up.

Hello
Have you tried to restart the notebook and test WLAN connectivity again?
I dont have this notebook model but can you please check if WLAN button is placed between keyboard and display. It must be one of the function buttons.
According the manuals (page 47) it must be the third button from the left (power button, eco button and then WLAN button). Can you enable/disable WLAN using this button?
Please test it and send some feedback.
