Satellite P850-31L thinks Intel HD GPU driver is old after Win 8.1 upgrade

Hi there,
I have had my Satellite P850-31L since last year and recently updated to windows 8.1.
This laptop has a NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M graphics card and it use to say that on my dxdiag.
Since updating to windows 8.1 my laptop seems to think I have a Intel HD Graphics 4000 and apparently it's out of date.
When I go on their site to test for the update.
I got told my graphics card is 'up to date' yet every thing else - including my toshiba driver manager says it's out of date.
I've tried updating yet I keep getting a message saying my system setting aren't good enough.
Anyne got any suggestions on what i can do.
Can I get my laptop to stop thinking it has a intel graphics when it has the NVIDEA chip

After Windows 8.1 upgrade you should visit the Toshiba EU driver page and should update the drivers and utilities to the Windows 8.1 version.
Most people forget to do that they update the system from Windows 8 to Win 8.1 but dont update the drivers.
As mentioned by user IronMan; the installation instruction which is available on the Toshiba EU driver page shows you the driver and tool which needs to be updated and you should also follow the installation order mentioned in this instruction.

  • Satellite P845t-10G does not go to sleep closing lid after Win 8.1 upgrade

    Hi,
    I own a P845t-10g and since I upgraded to Win 8.1 the laptop does not go to sleep (or shut down) when closing the lid.
    However, when opening the lid, it wakes from sleep mode.
    I tried installing latest Toshiba systems settings utility and all updates on the support site.
    Any ideas how to fix this?
    Thanks!

    Did you check the option called: What closing the lid does?
    Click on the 'Power Options' icon in taskbar (or in control panel).
    Then click 'More power options'. Now a new windows will open. On the left side panel click on 'What closing the lid does'.
    Now you will see two possible mode: battery and plugged in. For each mode you can set the action for closing the lid.
    BUT one question: did you upgrade the Win 8.1 following the instruction from Toshiba?
    http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/windows8_1-message/ Did you install all the Toshiba Windows 8.1 drivers and utilities in the right order!?

  • P100-240: Toshiba GPU driver is old, Nvidia driver doesn't enable the fan?

    Hi,
    I was wondering if Toshiba could explain their choice here.
    My laptop recently got sent in for repair because it burnt itself out due to me using Nvidias own drivers on my p100-240 (pspa3e).
    The problem here is that:
    a) Toshibas drivers for this card are well over a year old and sometimes buggy in new games
    b) Toshiba does not seem to have followed the Nvidia spec (that or there is a major ACPI issue in their bios...)
    so, Upon using the Nvidia drivers the laptops fan does not kick in, sending the systems temporature up to 106cand finally turning it off. It turned back on but basic graphics acceleration then failed to work.
    SO, can we get an updated driver build? OR some kind of fan control app? or can you update your bios to enable nvidias drivers to function?
    I feel like I cannot use my laptop for its purpose at the moment- I have reverted to installing a non-ACPI pc driver to force the fans to stay on which works well but then basic system functions like turn off do not work.
    I have also been advised that this design flaw could be considered to make the system "not fit for purpose" under which case I could just return the laptop under the Sale of Goods act.
    Though really, i'd just like to get my system working properly. It's bad enough not being able to run Linux on it, but even worse that windows doesnt work properly with it with official drivers.
    One final question: Can I get the older BIOSes? several fixes work with them but not with the 4.0 bios (mainly linux fixes but as long as one OS works I don't care!)
    Any tips on this are also welcome! Thanks for your help. :-)

    Hi
    >was wondering if Toshiba could explain their choice here.
    If you want to hear anything from Toshiba then you have to contact them. This forum is only a user to user forum and unfortunately you will not find anyone from Toshiba here.
    But maybe you want to hear my opinion;
    >My laptop recently got sent in for repair because it burnt itself out due to me using Nvidias own drivers on my p100-240 (pspa3e).
    >a) Toshibas drivers for this card are well over a year old and sometimes buggy in new games
    Well, many Toshiba notebooks are delivered and equipped with the same graphic cards. Maybe you have to look in other notebook series which are delivered with the same card for a newer GPU driver.
    But, you are right and generally the Toshiba graphic drivers are a little bit older as the original one from GPU manufacturer.
    Why? First of all the nVidia or ATI original drivers are not designed for the notebook usage. These are drivers for desktop PC graphic cards. I visited the area for mobile drivers and found a info that I have to look on the notebook manufacturer site!!! This said everything!!!!
    >b) Toshiba does not seem to have followed the Nvidia spec (that or there is a major ACPI issue in their bios...)
    As mentioned above the original GPU drivers are not designed for the notebook usage.
    Why? Because the notebook GPUs cannot be cooled like the graphic cards for the desktop PC!!!
    The Toshiba own drivers support an overheating protection which helps to avoid an GPU damage!!!!
    The original nVidia or ATI drivers do not support such overheating protection!!!
    If you want to use such drivers, you can do this ONLY at your own risk!
    >Can I get the older BIOSes?
    It seems Toshiba page provides only the newest BIOS. Maybe the authorized service provider can help you and could send you an older BIOS version.
    Two years ago I contacted the ASP in my country and got a early version of my BIOS for the A50

  • XSKey Driver too old after firewire file transfer

    Hi guys, strange and hugely frustrating issue.
    Yesterday using Setup Assistant I transferred files and documents via firewire from my ibook to my G5 powermac. Today when booting Logic Pro 7.1.1 I recieve this message - XS Key driver too old. The XS Key needs the driver 'Emagic XSKey.kext' in the folder /System/Library/Extensions.
    I have downloaded the XSKey Updater, plugged the key in with an internet connection but when I run the updater I get the same message which disables any possibility of running the update. Obviously this has something to do with older files from the ibook replacing the working ones on the powermac, which is extraordinary. Can anyone help?

    Just remove that file (the kext), Logic Pro will run just fine!

  • Satellite M200 - Cannot update Intel N10/ICH7 DRIVER

    MISSIMG DRIVER: WhenI install a new driver I get a message missing file info.
    I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL driver downloads but the computer thinks they are not right even though toshiba recomends them for my laptop.

    Hi
    Can you provide the full model name of your Satellite M200 notebook?
    From where did you try to download this driver and for what system?
    It does not look like Satellite M200 would be a European notebook model. It looks like it was released for Asia market.
    Furthermore I think that this error message appears because the corrupt driver package. Maybe some files (or just the info file) are faulty

  • Satellite P870 - WiFi issues after Win 8.1 upgrade

    Internet through wireless is hopeless.
    Maybe 3 in 10 pages will load correctly or not at all, mostly not at all.
    Other wireless devices in the house are fine, as is using the Ethernet .
    Checked the drivers through the device manager, says they are up to date.
    However using the toshiba service station it lists 12 updates including one for the Realtek wireless driver.
    The date of release definitely after the current installed version.
    Trying to update through the service centre it completes and then comes up with an error message, something like process ended by the user.
    Of course I never ended anything.
    Any ideas/thoughts? Just uninstall 8.1?
    Though I would rather not.

    Did you follow the Win 8.1 installation instruction?

  • Satellite L755 - after Win 8.1 upgrade cannot use FN+F8

    Hi Sirs;
    After I update my laptop Toshiba Satellite L755 to Windows 8.1 and when I press FN+F8 to off or on the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth it is not working.
    I removed VAP then system driver and then functions key utility and re installing it not Success to turn of,
    please any advice?

    Windows 8.1 does NOT support the Value Added Package anymore!
    The VAP was released for Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 Upgrade
    Notebooks which were preinstalled with Win 8 do not contain VAP anymore!
    But the Satellite L755 does not seem to be Win 8.1 supported.
    So you will be lucky man if you will get these function buttons working.
    I can recommend you to check the Win 8.1 driver released for Satellite L855 series.
    Install the Toshiba Function Key Utility and Toshiba System Driver
    Maybe it would help

  • Display driver doesn't work after Win 8.1 upgrade

    I have just upgraded my laptop's operating system from Win 7 Premium to Win 8.1 Enterprise.
    After the upgrade, my display driver Intel HD graphics 3000 seemed to have stopped working. PC had got stuck on 1024 x 768 resolution.
    I tried downloading Intel HD graphics 3000 from HP support "hp.com/in", but it was only compatible for Win 7 x86 and x64. Then searched on Intel website "downloadcenter.intel.com", I could see Intel graphic driver only for 2nd generation cores(i3, i5, i7), unfortnately mine was a first gen core i5 (i5-2430M). I also downloaded Intel(R) driver update utility 2.0 which is a auto drivers detect tool from Intel. It searched for missing display drivers, downloaded and installed, but still it is not a perfect match for my system. 
    I have been missing my laptop's high resolution quality for the past few days and its like going through hell. Any help from you ladies and gentlemen of HP or any computer experts will be much appreciated. Thank You.
    I will provide my laptop specs below:
    Product name: HP Pavilion dv6-6154TX
    Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2430M CPU @2.40 GHz 2.40 GHz
    Max screen resolution: 1366 x 768
    Operating system: Windows 8.1 Enterprise 32 bit
    System type: 32 bit operating system, x64 based processor
    Display drivers: Intel(R) HD graphics 3000, AMD Radeon HD 7400M series.
    Direct X version : DX 11
    I am not sure whether, I have provided all the info necessary for you guys to assess. But i can put on any more info if you need. 
    Once again, I thank you very much for your time in reading and the help you would provide.

  • Satellite L305D-S5881: Touchpad and FN keys do not work after Win 7 installation

    I have recently installed windows 7 and all of a sudden yesterday my touchpad did not work.
    I was not able to move my mouse arrow at all.
    I had to purchase a wireless mouse so I could use my laptop.
    When I press the fn key plus f9 nothing happens to see if it is enabled or disabled.
    I have a satellite l305d-s5881
    thanks for your help

    Hi mate
    The Satellite L305D-S5881 belongs to the Toshiba US series and has been released for US market.
    You will need to visit the Toshiba US driver page in order to get all drivers.
    To get the touchpad working, you will need to install the Touchpad driver.
    Furthermore the FN buttons are controlled by VAP (value added package) and Flash Card Support Utility.
    You need to install both; firstly VAP and then Flash Cards.
    Here is the Toshiba US page:

  • Can't Create USB Recovery Drive after Win 8.1 upgrade on Lenovo Twist

    After upgrading to Win 8.1 and trying to create the usb recovery drive, I get this error:
    "We can't create a reccovery drive on this PC. Some required files are missing.To trouble shoot problems when your PC starts,use your window installation disk or media"
    Can some give me a hint as to how to solve this?Thx.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I contacted Lenovo who sent me out a set of 4 Recovery disks. These disks fixed the problem but it meant wiping out the hard drive and reinstalling very thing from scratch. A new recovery partition is created and the discs reinstalled Win 8 which had to be updated. Then Win 8.1 could be installed. Everything is now working as it should.

  • Satellite P850 - Is the speed of the ODD bay as fast as the HDD drive bay?

    I have a Toshiba Satellite P850-31L
    I am using a 'caddy' to install a second storage drive in my optical bay. I have an SSD and an HDD and I am wondering which I should install in which bay.
    Are the speeds of the bays the same?
    Might there be temperature issues?
    Any suggestions which drive should go in which bay?
    Thanks,
    Scott

    At first I must say that it will be very interesting to know where you have found this caddy and which part number it has. Maybe you could post the link. I presume you have bought some non-Toshiba part.
    Am I right about that?
    In my opinion this question is not so important because SSD is much faster in general. I presume you need second drive for data storage so in my opinion you should install SSD in place of HDD to have faster boot and faster notebook in general. Notebooks HDD you should use as second, additional drive.

  • Satellite P850 - Need WLAN Driver for Windows 8.1 64bit

    I have Satellite P850 - I renewed my Kaspersky Internet Security and did Windows update for 8.1 64bit. Now I have no Wireless LAN driver. I can only connect to internet with ethernet cable.
    I have searched high and low for 2 days looking for a solution. I want to keep everything Toshiba authentic so not wanting to stray to other dodgy diagnostic sites. Toshiba only has Realtek WLAN for Windows 8 version 2.00.0020 available for download - which is already installed on my computer but it is not working - I did reinstall to see if that fixed the problem but no.
    Any assistance will be appreciate. Thanks.

  • Re: Satellite P850 - cannot install Nvidia driver from NVIDIA webpage

    Hello,
    I bought a Satellite P850 like 2 months ago,is a great notebook and i love it.
    Well the question is,i checked nvidia web page to check last drivers,i saw that my pc got 295.55 and nvidia web page got 301.42,so i tried to update but is impossible. After download and press install it say that is not compatible,what is the way to update them?
    Thanks so much.
    And sorry for my english.

    Go to the driver download page (UK in this example) [http://www.nvidia.co.uk/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-uk] and take Option 2: Automatically find drivers for my NVIDIA products. and select Graphics Driver. This downloads a program that examines your PC and identifies if there is a new driver and offers to download/install it. (The program may not run under Google Chrome)
    I have had no problem using Nvidia drivers and until a couple of years ago they would not supply laptop drivers but they now have them "WHQL" ( [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WHQL_Testing] ) certified and released to the public.
