Video and game performance Satellite P100-434

I got myself a nice new P100-434 just 2 weeks ago, When tring to play a game or a DVD It starts of ok but after a short time the frame rate drops right of then comes back up then back down..
I took it back to the shop and they gave me a new one but the same thing happens.
Anyone else had noticed the same. If so tell me how to handle with it.

I've had the exact same problem for a number of weeks, exchanged for a new one (identical notebook) and I still have the problem. I've even tried to get it fixed but to no avail. The guy I took it to seemed to think it had something to do with the DVD drive but to me it looks like a power supply issue. I put the videocard slider down to "balanced" and the problem essentially goes away, no more random bouts of extreme slowdown. However, this forces me to play at far lower settings that what I could originally achieve without lowering the power. (but suffering the said bouts of extreme slowdown)
The difference here is that i'm running XP and still get the problem. Anyone know what causes this? I'd like to actually be able to use my videocard at its full potential.

Playing Call of Duty 4 on Satellite P100-434

Hi all,
I have recently purchased my Toshiba Satellite P100-434 (Intel 1.66 Dual / 2GB RAM / Go7600) and have just tried gaming on the system.
I have installed COD4 and tried to play but it seems as the laptop has big issues running it.
I have updated my display drivers to the nvidia vista 32-bit ones downloaded from this site seems to have made very little if no diffrence.
I am running the game with every setting to minimal with res. of 640x480 and it still struggles.
Everything on the laptop should be sufficient for running this game except for the cpu which is recommended a 1.8 dual and this is a 1.66 dual. could just this be why the game cannot run too well?
I wouldnt have thought so.
I have had friends who have run this game on worse spec pc's.
Any suggestions what could be my problem or what else I could do to improve the performance?
Many thanks...

Hi
If got a Satellite notebook with a high performance AMD CPU and the newest ATI Radeon graphic card.
Im running Windows XP due to better game performance. The Vista needs more hardware resources and therefore I prefer the XP.
Anyway, last week Ive installed the COD4 and believes me this game needs more hardware resources as you believe.
Nevertheless you should be able to run the COD4 using the 1024x768 resolution. But its another question if COD4 would run smoothly.
However, I found an Toshiba FAQ doc regarding some video 'stutter' during game play using Windows Vista:
Check this:
[New video driver and BIOS eliminates video 'stutter' during game play (Windows Vista)|http://askiris.toshiba.com/ToshibaSupportSite/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=1924 764xml&sliceId=&dialogID=46208288&stateId=0%200%20 46206416]
Regarding to this doc the display driver & BIOS update should help to improve the performance.
Bye

Satellite P100-434 startup issue BSOD

Hello everybody!
I have Toshiba Satellite P100-434 laptop and lately I have encountered many problems during the startup.
1. The laptop starts normally up to the writing the password. Then, in the middle of typing BSOD.
2. The laptop gets BSOD or turns off about 2 seconds after the Microsoft bar has appeared.
3. The laptop doesn't turn on - after launch there is only one flash of three blue diodes on the right and the screen stays blank. No Toshiba welcome screen.
After few attempts I succeed with getting the Toshiba welcome screen (it's after the second flash), but there are another issues later, the laptop turns off or tries to Launch Startup Repair. It says only about unspecified error and restores back to the previous state.
4. I tried to enter the Safe Mode, but few times I encountered the same: the laptop turns off after loading some drivers.
BSOD are too short for me to spot what is going on - I spotted only BAD POOL something and IRQL NOT EQUAL something as if it was something with drivers, presumably the NVIDIA display driver. I uninstalled it and downloaded new one and installed it (version 7.15.11.5666). Ths is NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600. Once there was some information about dxgkrnl.sys?
I did Windows Memory Test at startup - no errors.
I scanned for any viruses: my AVG removed some Cryptor virus, but the problem still is there.
The OS is Windows Vista Home Premium SP 2.
I don't know what is the problem. Is it the display driver or any other driver? Or maybe some power related problems? Any advice welcome!

Additional information:
Yesterday I encountered again the same problem: BSOD during typing the password: IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL; STOP: 0x000000D1 (0x00000000, 0x00000002, 0x00000001, 0x8888E1E3), disk.sys address 8888E1E3 base of 88880000, DateStamp 49e01ef2.
I turned the laptop off manually and after 30 some attempts I succeeded with switching it on again (up to then there was no Toshiba welcome screen and the display remained blank) to meet up with another BSOD shortly after launch of Windows:
STOP 0x0000000A (0x0000000B, 0x000000FF, 0x00000000, 0x8B48F3AD)
The next launch the system made the CHKDSK. There were plenty of index entries being deleted, but there were not bad sectors or anything. When I finally got through all this, I did another diagnostic of the HDD, but it showed no problems.
Anyway: I would like to know whether the problem is hardware or rather software related, because I wouldn't take my laptop to repair if there is something I could do by downloading/reinstalling.

Can't hear sounds in videos and games

Can't hear sounds in videos and games? Hello. I have some problem with my SB Li've!. I'm using a Sound Blaster Li've! 5. Digital (it writes Model: SB0220 on it) sound card, attached on a Gigabyte Intel 945 S-Series motherboard. And I've installed the driver and software from the cd that i got out of the SB Li've!'s original box (Creative SB Li've! series, Release 5.2.3.296), and also installed my motherboard's onboard sound card driver (Realtek High Definition Audio Driver, Release: 5.0.0.5567). I'm running Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP3, using 4. Creative speakers.
I'm okay when listening mp3's or Windows system sounds, but when it comes to play a game or watch a video;
I cannot properly (or sometimes completely) hear sounds, if my EAX Equalizer is set up to something else from "No Effects",
I can hear every sound properly if my EQ is set up "No Effects".
Can anybody tell why this happens? I can give more information about my hardware and software if needed. Thanks so much for your time =)

Flash player plays online video and games extremely slow

I had my pc reformatted two days ago but prior to that I never had problems like this. playing streaming videos and games gives me extreme pain! especially watching videos on youtube, the video loads fast but it plays like in slow motion and almost frame by frame, so I waited for the video to load completely but when I played it, it's still the same it was annoyingly slow and the play buttonl sometimes is not responding! I install and reinstall the latest version of flash but nothing happened I used IE8 and Mozilla Firefox 3 but both have problems.... but when playing games and videos saved on my hard disk all is very much fine, it plays fast and no fuzz. I also noticed that sites that uses flash also have lags and plays animations slow... I need help badly! Im using windows xp, pentium 4, 2.80 ghz, 512ram and nvidia geForce 7300 SE / 7200 GS internet connection is 100.0mbps dsl connection, I still have 30gb free space on c: so I wonder why is it like that! Please help!

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Both IE and FF flash videos and games slow down/lag???

Starting a half a year to a year ago, flash videos/video players and flash games on firefox and IE would run
fine for a little while and then lag/slow down ridiculously. For the videos it would lag and skip for the rest of the video, but for the flash games it goes through a cycle of running fine and then running slow/very slow for a period of time. How can I fix this? It is so annoying and can make playing flash games and watching videos with flash almost impossible some times.
I unchecked the the box for hardware acceleration already.

Do you have any suggestions in terms of the slowing down/lagging issue? Also, is there an issue with flash player itself that is causing everyone to have all these problems with it ruining videos and stuff? Is adobe working on it/is there any hope that future version of flash player will get rid of the lag or has adobe gone down a path that is just going to cause problems for some people, permenantly, no matter what?

Re: Satellite P100-434: Unable to load sound drivers running Xp Pro

I have a P100-434 (SPAD), which is currently running XP Pro I decided that I wanted to rebuild the OS as it was becomming very cluttered and slow.
I have partitioned the HD and installed a 2nd copy of XP Pro with dual boot, however I find that I cannot load the sound drivers onto the NEW XP.
Driver installation aborts and reports NO MEDIA FOUND.
I checked the driver that I had downloaded against the old XP installation and it works fine, finds the sound card and installs the drivers.
I'm at a bit of a loss as to why a vanilla OS installation can't find the soundcard.
So can anyone point me in the right direction to get some sound? (I have reloaded XP twice with the same result each time).
Message was edited by: exraflad

Windows XP needs *KB888111* and *KB835221* hotfix from MS site before you will install sound driver.
- you have to install both patches
- download the Conexant sound driver from the Toshiba page. I found two different versions. I would recommend checking both!
- remove the old sound driver from device manager reboot the notebook and install the new downloaded sound driver

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.

Satellite P100-434 does not have Intel Vitualisation (VT)

Hi,
My shiney new P100-434 which cost me a fairly serious amount of money does not have Intel Vitualisation (VT) enabled which is annoying because I went for this laptop specifically because it was Core 2 Duo which supports VT and I want it in order to run KQEMU faster under Linux.
There is no option to switch it on in the BIOS and no updated BIOS available either.
Anyone know if a BIOS with the option to enable this feature is coming or suggestions for who I should complain at to make this happen faster? I see plenty of other people in the forums with other models that similarly have it disabled by default and no BIOS option to turn it on!
Cheers,
Jamie

Satellite P100-434 Older BIOS needed

Hello everyone,
I'm in serious need of an older BIOS version for a P100-434 (PSPAD/E) laptop. I recently flashed my BIOS with the latest version 4.80 and am having problems:
- My CD/DVD Drive has disappeared
- According to SpeedFan everything except HD0 is on fire - Temp1, Core 0 and 1 above 50C and my GPU above 60C
- The fans keep going off like crazy
- It sometime freezes
After flashing, it automatically rebooted and froze for 10sec or more and then Windows took ages to load all the drivers (the loading bar kept going for 21sec or more, usually only takes half that).
I was running version 4.70 before and had completely (as far as I could tell) no problems with it but I thought updating it might give me better stability. I would really appreciate any help you can give, thanks.

When the new BIOS update is available old version is not downloadable anymore. What you can try is to contact nearest authorized service provider and ask for help. They have access to Toshiba database and Im pretty sure they can obtain older version for you.
1/ to be honest I cannot imagine ODD issue has anything to do with BIOS update. Is optical disc drive recognized in BIOS, device manager or Windows explorer? Remove it from the device manager list, restart notebook and check functionality again. Check also method offered by Akuma
2/ Believe me these temperatures are not critical so there is no reason for panic.
3/ if you want to reduce cooling fan activity change settings for cooling method. These settings you can find in Toshiba power saver utility.
4/ For such periodical freezing issues is not easy to offer some solution. Watch carefully what happen exactly. Maybe is some certain activity responsible for this freezing issues.

HP Pavillion p6-2213er started to slow down (the mouse, web, video and games)

My HP Pavillion p6-2213er which is 1-year old with pre-installed Windows 7 (64) started to slow down/stuck today.
The mouse, internet pages, movies and games started to work slow. Sorry, don't know the right English for it, but it looks like this: ---x---x---x (and normally it is xxxxxxxxxxxxx)
I made the full scanning for viruses: none. It's funny, but the problem started the next day after I installed anti-virus. Tried to delet the anti-virus. Didn't help. Task manager shows that none of the applications use much memory. There are no programs that could cause this running. I turned off torrent program. Restarted my pc several times, no result. Help? What the problem could be? I've had 3 different pc and never had that problem.
I've also had been seeing for few months that message about Tages Protection driver that was turned off due to its incompatibility with the system. Tried to reinstall it thru downloading the setup file from tagesprotection.com, but it just won't start. Can't delete it either, cause can't find it. But this can't be the cause of slowness, can it?

Today I also had BSoD for the 1st time. It happened twice as I was watching a video downloaded from the internet. Could it be somehow connected to what I experienced before?

Some Videos and Games Do Not Work, Mac Snow Leopard

This is a problem I have actually had for a while, but it never really affected much that I considered important. Now it is just getting annoying.
Basically, certain video players and online games do not work. Most video players outside of YouTube will not work. The player will load, but the video never does. For example, the most recent video I have had trouble with is the Nickelodeon video player for The Legend of Korra. When I try to watch that, I get a black box, and a “Loading” type image pops up, swirls around once, and then disappears. After that, the whole thing becomes unresponsive. This is typical of many, but not all, video players I have encountered on the web.
I am not sure if it is related, but I have also had trouble with various games. Often time, they will work fine until reaching some transition point, such as the end of a level, and then they will become unresponsive. A good example here is the game Bloons Tower Defense 4. This is a game I know was responsive on my older system. But now, when it loads the level, it freezes up before loading the available towers to place and becomes otherwise unresponsive.An example is shown below. The top-left question mark box in the right-hand sidebar should reveal a dart monkey, and my starting money should be filled, but instead the game hangs up. I have had similar hang-ups on a number of games, so I am certain the problem is not just with this game.
As I said, I have had this problem for a while now. I have upgraded both Flash and my browsers a number of times since they started. I have these problems in all my browsers (Safari, Opera, Camino, Firefox), so it seems to be a problem with Flash. I have also tried uninstalling and re-installing flash and disabling all other browser plug-ins.
I am using a MacBook Pro with Macintosh OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard, 2.53 GHz Intel Core i5, with Flash 11.2.202.233. Current Browsers: Firefox 11.0, Opera 11.61, Camino 2.1.2, Safari 5.1.5
Any ideas what I could be overlooking?

Hey, it is getting them to work. Although I still have the “URL Not Found” error on BTD, and I get a whole different debugger error on Korra. But none of the errors prevent the associated items from working. Hopefully this will work in the other places I have had trouble with.
Anyway, the new error for Korra was:

Display driver error while playing games on Satellite P100-387 PSPA3E

Hi,
I have a Satellite P-100 387 PSPA3E notebook (with Nvidia 7600 GO 256 MB) and no matter what game I play I get a stop error-blue screen of death all the time and must restart.
It happens while I play either "Command & Conquere-Tiberium Wars" or "Warcraft III" (which can run on ANY low end machine).Did the BIOS update and got the latest display driver from Toshiba support. Nothing. Also, Ive tryed ALL the driver versions from Nvidia and from LaptopVideo2go.com with modded inf-s.
Dont know what else to do so I post here before contacting Toshiba. I have a valid warranty on the machine. Running XP MediaCentar which came with it.
THX in advance!

I am heading to bed in a minute, but will look at driver details tomorrow.
I seem to remember that the latest BIOS update improved something to do with graphics.
Yes, I've got the 7600 go graphics card.
You have good ventilation to the laptop? (i.e. you don't have it running on a deep pile carpet, or on a big deep duvet or something?)
I tried the Nvidia drivers too but they dont work, it has to be the drivers from Toshiba.
Suggest you do a system restore, and if that does not help re-flash your BIOS
The link to the driver updates was good, but not for the laptop.

Videos and games

is there any way to put games and videos from your ipod back onto itunes... my computer crashed a few days ago.

If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
