Satellite Pro A100-080: NVidia display driver crashing during 3D Games

Hello,
i have some problems with the display driver since i've bought the notebook 9 month ago. I've tried to install every new driver published on the toshiba homepage but no driver is running stable on my system.
The problem is that my notebook is crashing with bluescreen during playing 3d games and my windows vista tells me its the display driver causing the crashes.
I had the previous version of the driver installed several month ago and i feel it was more stable than the current version. But unfortunately i've lost the files for that one, but i would prefer any functional driver for this notebook.
My Notebook
Satellite Pro A100-080
Modelno. PSAASE-00G004GR
Manufactured on 2007-02-20
Thank you all in advance for yr assistance

Hi,
below you will find a small list of games i've tried on my system.
Supreme Commander
Halflife 2 (including several mods)
World in Conflict Demo
Warhammer - Mark of Chaos
Warhammer - Dawn of War
X3
I've also tried to play the older games on compatibility mode, but this doesnt run. At least one of those games should run properly on my system, but none is running.

Satellite Pro A100-080 does not boot - stays dark after 3 beeps

Hello,
after one week off, the Toshiba Satellite Pro A100-080 (PSAASE-00G004GR, 4 GB RAM) of my children does not boot anymore.
When powering on the system, it *beeps 3 times* (one longer, two short beeps), then the HDisk light shortly blinks "blue" and then nothing more happens. A/C, Power and Batterie LEDs are "blue", which seem to be the OK state.
No other useful help, as the display stays dark.
We had upgraded to 4 GB MEM (Kingston) one year ago and I already tried the former used 1 GB (included when purchased) or the 2 x 1 GB replacement from December 2007, but same status with those modules. So it is not
a defect memory.
I hope it is not the mainboard, probably only the included NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 graphics adapter?
Does anyone have an idea, what might be the issue?
Thx for a short help.

Hello
Generally speaking this kind of beep codes are hardware related or with other words hardware is malfunctioning. So I think its a hardware problem and an ASP should check your notebook to identify the reason of this.
On the Toshiba website you will find a list of ASPs:

Satellite Pro A100 PSAA3E: What WLan driver should I use?

What wireless software should i download to make my built in wireless work.
I have downloaded almost all of them but they install and i see no wireless there :S
Help please?

Hi
The Satellite Pro A100 were equipped with the different WLan cards; two different Wlan cards are possible; Intel and Atheros.
All necessary WLan drivers can be found either on the Toshiba European driver page or on the Toshiba WLan portal.

Check both drivers. One of them will work for sure!

W701ds Nvidia display driver crashes frequently

Hello, I have a W701ds with 16gb of ram running Win7 Pro 64bit. Using preinstalled OS. My display driver keeps crashing (about once an hour or so) with an error message that the display driver recovered from an error. The screen goes black for a few seconds and then returns. This generally happens when I am watching a video or working in Powerpoint, Adobe After Effects, etc. All drivers are up to date. Has anyone else experienced this problem, and do you have any recommendations as to how I can resolve this? Thanks all.

Been a couple months since the video card was replaced. Happy to say I am ROCK solid now!! Absolutely zero display crashes even running heavy applications!

NVIDIA Diplay driver crashes in Premiere Pro CS5.5

I have been editing AVCHD video in the latest version of Premiere Pro CS5.5 for some time now and then suddenly about 3 weeks ago I started having problems where the NVIDIA display driver for my GTX 580 would crash and then recover but kick me out of Premiere Pro in the process. I had the Mercury Playback Hardware engine enabled. Chaging it to software render mode fixed the issue and ultimately rolling my video drivers back to a previous version seemed to eliminate the problem completely allowing me to enable hardware render mode again.
I turned off auto updates on my video card since then and last night the problem suddenly came back. This time software render mode crashes too. I can even have Premiere Pro open and not be doing anyhting and sometimes after a while it just randomly crashes. It happens with all my projects and never in the same place on the timeline.
I deleted all of the render files and recreated them and even imported the project into a new project. This did not fix it.
I tried reinstalling old and new drivers using the "clean install" feature. No good.
I edited the TDR settings in my registry increasing the delay time before it recovers as recommended by Microsoft when this issue occcurs and this did not resolve my issue.
I am really concerned now because from everyhting I have read it should be working in software render mode. Since it's not I am at a loss.
I have other programs that use CUDA hardware rendering and none of them have an issue. It just seems to be with Premiere.
I also checked the temperature of the video card and that's fine. No overheating issues with my MOBO either.
I read somewhere that it could even be caused by a drop in clock speed on the card so I downloaded a utility to overclock my card and that didn't resolve the issue either.
Any ideas? I'm in crunch time on a major project and I can't render, export or do anything without it crashing.
I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit, 12 GB of RAM, terabytes of hard drive space and an intel 6 core processor. My specs are well above the requirements. I have had this card since December and like I said, the issues just started a few weeks ago.
Thanks.

I am not at home so I haven't tried rolling back further but I can confirm the version drivers that I tried are 320.18 which was working for a while, 320.49 and 327.23.
For reference I have Premiere Pro CS5.5.2 and the latest Windows 7 64-bit updates installed.
The mobo is an ASUS P6T Deluxe.
When I reinstall the NVIDIA drivers I use the clean install option which completely removes the previous version before reinstalling. I found that I have to reinstall this is the best way since uninstalling from the control panel only adds the drivers back on a reboot.

With hardware acceleration enabled, and with plenty of tabs open, using the Windows 7 taskbar preview option will almost always crashed the nVidia display driver.

Latest Firefox 4 beta 6.
nVidia GT240 1GB DDR3 with driver version 258.96.
Windows 7 Ultimate.
If I have plenty of tabs opened, in Firefox 4 beta 6 with hardware acceleration enabled, using the Windows 7 Taskbar preview feature (that will show all the tabs Firefox has loaded) will cause the Nvidia display driver to crash. When this happen, the GUI part of Firefox will be unusable and has to be killed via Task Manager.
This doesn't happen if hardware acceleration is disabled.

It is beta software and the older 4.0 b6 version may not work with all display drivers.

Satellite Pro A100 - Where can I find the ethernet controller driver?

I recently changed my operating system from Vista to XP and I am not able to find a the necessary driver for the ethernet controller in my Satellite Pro A100 PSAAPE.
Does anyone know where I can get this driver from?
Thanks!

Hi!
You can install the driver if go to device manager and select the Ethernet card. Right click on it and select update driver. Choose the advanced installation where you can choose the driver directory yourself.
Then you can install the driver! :)

Satellite P105 - Can't install nVidia display driver

I tried completing the download multiple times for the nVidia Display Driver 9.7.5.4.
The first times the setup would not complete citing "that this computer does not have the correct hardware.." , then the Windows message came up and said that "if this setup did not complete successfully click here blabla" and I did that.
Now when I run the setup it still stops in the same spot. But now it says that *"the setup can not be completed because this driver only runs on Windows Vista, and this is not Windows Vista." But the thing is I do have Windows Vista!*
Current Display Driver: Mobile Intel(R) 945 GM Express ChipSet Family
Laptop Model: Satellite P105-S6177
Operating System: Windows Vista 32-bit

Hi
> Current Display Driver: Mobile Intel(R) 945 GM Express ChipSet Family
And then you want to install an nVidia display driver?
LOL :D
I think you can not install an nVidia display driver because your notebook is equipped with a Intel chipset and graphic card.
You will never be able install nVidia display driver and so did get the message that you don’t have the correct hardware.
Intel graphic cards and nVidia graphic cards are different things so do not mix it!
Some P105 was equipped with nVidia cards and otheres with Intel card and it seems that you have an Intel card.

Satellite 2450-201: nVidia display driver

i have just downloaded the latest nvidia display driver for satellite 2450-201 from toshiba and now the display has gone worse the driver is 3.6.4.8. for nvidia gforce 420 go what shall i do i have tried rolling back it wont let me! and i dont have a sytem restore point either is there some settings in nvidia help!

Hi
Usually the original Toshiba driver should works properly and without any errors.
In you case I would recommend starting the OS in the safe mode and then to enter the device manager.
There you can select the Display adapters area and there you can uninstall the graphic driver.
Then download the right driver from the Toshiba page and install it again!!!

NVIDIA display driver on Satellite 2450-201

i have downloaded and installed the latest nvidia display driver for my laptop which has nvidia gforce 420 go and the driver i installed was the v 36.48 when i boot up the displays are bad and we=hen i log on it says nview load error no nvidia hardware detected on the primary monitor if you are running on nvidia card please make sure it is configured to be primary. what shall i do when i access the nevidia desktop manger in control pannel and check the box the message comes up again then i restart and the graphics are fine but after about 5 boot ups it goes back to the rubish graphocs and message appears again.
what shall i do!

Hi
Did you install the driver from the Toshiba page??
If not so visit the Toshiba driver page and download the right driver.
Its not recommended to use NOT Toshiba graphic card drivers.
Then I would recommend checking the display properties if the notebook screen was set as the primary monitor. Mark the display with the number 1 and check it the option Use this device as the primary monitor was enabled.
Furthermore check in the Advanced option in the nView tab if the nView mode was set to standard and that the option Make this the primary display was enabled for the notebook screen.

MSI 660 TI PE Display Driver crashes

First, here is my system.
i5-2500k Processor (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115072) (Processor is overclocked to 4.3ghz, temp on it never goes over 45-50°C though)
MSI Geforce GTX 660TI PE Video card (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127696)
Asus P8Z68-V Pro\Gen 3 Motherboard (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131790)
Corsair HX series HX650 Power Supply (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139012)
4x4GB of G.Skill Ram (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231314)
When my old MSI P67A-GD55 Motherboard bricked a month ago, instead of waiting on RMA I went ahead and got the Asus board, at the same time I went ahead and upgraded my old Asus GTX 560TI card to the MSI GTX 660TI card. Since the upgrade, I am constantly getting display driver crashes "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered." when playing games. Guild Wars 2 and Starcraft 2 are the only ones I've had time to try, but both consistently give driver crashes after awhile (sometimes as soon as 15-20 mins, sometimes takes several hours of gameplay).
Here is the list of things I've already tried:
-First, I tried the most recent Nvidia drivers. Still crashes.
-Second, I tried running driver sweeper, removing all old drivers and reinstalling. Still crashes.
-Third, I tried disabling TDR in the Win7 registry. Still crashes.
-Fourth, I really ramped up the auto fan speeds. So far it hasn't crashed while doing this, but I can't do it for too long because the fans get so loud that it annoys me greatly.
-Fifth, I thought it might be an old Motherboard driver conflict of some sort, so I completely formated my OS hard drive and reinstalled Windows 7. Still getting crashes.
-Sixth, I used driver sweeper again and rolled back to the last official MSI drivers (the ones from October). Still getting crashes.
I really don't think the card is overheating. The most recent crash happened tonight after playing Starcraft 2 for about 20 minutes, and the temperature of the card never got over 60°C. That's why even with the extremely ramped up fan speeds I tried, I think if I used them long enough, the driver would still crash.
The power supply is the same as what I used with the 560TI and it didn't have these issues. And from my understanding, the 560TI consumed more power than the 660TI.
At this point, I'm at my wits end. The only thing else I know to try is swapping out the old 560TI in with the new motherboard or waiting for my old motherboard to come back from RMA and trying the 660TI in it. Though that means rebuilding the case, uninstalling the new mobo drivers and installing the old mobo drivers and authenticating Windows. Doing all of that is going to kill most of a day and I really only want to do that if I absolutely have to.
I've had such limited time for troubleshooting the card, that I'm regrettably past the 30day limit on RMA replacements to Newegg. So unfortunately that means I'm looking at an RMA directly to MSI and that takes about a month. Before I do that, does anyone have any advice on something to try that might be the cuplrit or can help determine the culprit? I can't find any details in the Event Viewer as to what caused the driver crash. Just that it has stopped responding and has recovered. I wish it could tell me if there was a loss of power, or anything. Power Management Mode is set to prefer maximum performance btw.
Btw, as a brief description of what happens. The screen goes black, and then comes back and the game is running very slowly. There will also usually be a popup above the taskbar saying that the driver had crashed. I keep the MSI Afterburner info window open in my second monitor and Power usage never goes over 80%, GPU Usage is usually around 95-99%. Core Clock and Memory clock drop to about 324mhz (which is what it idles at) temporarily during the crash. GPU Usage of course dips to very low levels while the driver is crashing, as well.
Oh and in an added twist, I've run Kombuster several times. Burn-in test DirectX 11 1920x1600 8xMSAA as long as five hours, and the display driver has never crashed. I'll probably turn it on, and disable the computer's sleep and display off tonight and let it run for about 8-9 hours and see what happens. That's one thing that throws me off, if it's a hardware defect, wouldn't Kombuster cause it to crash?
edit-Here is a screenshot of the Afterburner monitor during a crash while playing Starcraft 2. The huge dip in the bars that I have the cursor over is when the crash occured.

Well with the Power% limited to 75%, I just had another crash in Starcraft 2. Temp was only at 56°C just before the crash.
Here is a shot of the Afterburner Hardware Monitor when it crashed:
Unfortunately I do not have another PC to test the card in. And I don't know anyone around here with a system that the card could work in.
If I swapped out the 660TI with my old 560TI and I do not get any crashes, wouldn't that indicate it's the 660TI's fault and I'd need to RMA since the 560TI is a more power hungry card?

When I have firefox open, it crashes at the same time as my display driver crashes (Crash signature: kernelbase.dll@0xb9bc)

The screen turns black (audio remains normal if I'm playing music) and then flickers back on. I get a message that says "Nvidia display driver stopped responding and has recovered successfully." This happened before and Firefox wouldn't always crash, but the last few days it happens several times a day and Firefox always crashes at the same time as the display driver.

No, they aren't working on the same files. All 3 employees are working on different files.
They are all on Dell Optiplex GX745 with 4 Gb of RAM.
The crashes are at different times, not all 3 crashing at the same time. Therefore, I don't believe network is the cause of the issues. Also, it didn't crash on CS5, but now it does on CS6.
What I'm looking for are possible settings within Illustrator CS6 that I can tweak to make it a more stable program.
Thanks

Connecting a Satellite Pro A100 to a TV?

HI there.
I've got a Satellite Pro A100-PSAA3E and I'm trying to connect it so that it displays on my tv.
Ive tried connecting it through the S-Video out port on my laptop to the TV via a S-Video to SCART cable and neither the laptop or the tv are picking anything up.
I've tried every input on my TV, even rebooted the laptop with the TV already on and set to every input.
I have also tried using a VGA-video cable and have gotten no further, even after trying everyhint i can think of.
As far as I am aware I have the latest drivers and have tried everything I can think of.
When ever i go into Display-Settings-Advanced-Displays, the box for the TV is completely greyed out and unclickable.
Can anyone help?

Hi
From my own personal experience some s-video-to-scart cables supports the wrong pin assignment.
I have connected my notebook to the TV but I got either only a white/grey display or nothing. I have changed the cable and bought only an s-video cable.
This helped to solve the issue.
One tip; on some TVs you need to enable the s-video option. Furthermore you have to use the FN+F5 key combination to switch the display on the TV

Does Satellite Pro A100-828 has a 64bit memory interface on X1600 GPU?

Hi,
Does Satellite Pro A100-828 has a 64bit memory interface on X1600 GPU? Please help as I only get 2500 marks on 3dMark05 on a Satellite Pro A100-828. The GPU is X1600 with 128MB dedicated memory + 384MB Hypermemory. This card should do around 3500 marks.
Thanks,
Shahid

As far as I know, all cards with ATI Hypermemory or Nvidia Turbocache have 64bit memory interfaces.
I am unable to gather information on X1600 with 128bit memory width but my A100-828 can run Far Cry on full settings at full resolution. I can also play Oblivion at 'high' settings. Although 3dmark scores are low.
I have also seen a good increase in 3dmark scores by using an Omega 3.8.330 drivers.

Toshiba Satellite Pro A100 PSAAPE Need Device Drivers

Hi, I was wondering if anyone may be able to help. My father has been given a Toshiba Satellite Pro A100 (Model Num PSAAPE-00T00KEN) that someone has tried to do a fresh install of windows XP Professional sp2 on. The problem is all the device drivers have been written over and there is no driver disc with the laptop. After looking on the Toshiba website I'm having trouble locating the drivers for this exact model. Could anyone point me in the direction of said drivers or a link to them and also in what order I should download them.
Thanks for you help, Mick

Satellite Pro A100-03R (PSAAPE-00T00KEN)
Mick, the Toshiba drivers and utilities for that European model are here.
Be sure to follow the order of installation recommended.
