FIX: Problem FIXED. After 10 months Toshiba finally released a working BIOS. It’s similar to 4.10 but has 64-bit compatibility aswell. Get it here, version 4.20.

Warning: Your fans may not work after updating your BIOS (BETA or OFFICIAL). Reinstall your drivers after the BIOS update to get them to work again! I am not responsible if something goes wrong.

Basically an example on how my nvidia 7900gs go wont stop stuttering making any game or video application impossible to play/watch. I’m using Halo 2 for PC to show this problem. This is problem pertains to laptops with Nvidia hardware + Windows Vista + Toshiba (and maybe other OEMs).
Laptop: Toshiba P105-S9337
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium
Video card: Nvidia Geforce Go 7900 GS
you guys just need … you guys just need to install the beta drivers and its flawless.. if your using a GO_7900GS which is for a laptop download the updated driver at guru3d dot com and search for forceware vista 97.35 x86 (laptop) this is the name of the updated driver. It works!!
IT works!!
like retardlad said … like retardlad said, HD drives on laptops are only 5400 RPM, a 10,000 RPM hd is necessary for lagless situations in H2V, I say check your cpu speed also, because data has to go through ur CPU before the video card, then through teh video cards processors, then to the monitor
I have this laptop, … I have this laptop, but the xp version with the free upgrade to vista. Its the p105-s9722. The hard drive is a 200gb 4200rpm drive. It seems (when ive upgraded to vista) that the hard drive is spinning all the time during gameplay. Ive been thinking about getting a faster hard drive, but then I wonder how XP runs games flawlessly on my laptop. I hate vista.
Actually guys i … Actually guys i Doubt it’s the HDD. This happens in EVERY game or 3d application (including videos). The only solution right now is to install Windows XP. In XP this issue is nonexistant. I can play all games at high setting, native res, etc. Only thing that bothers me is that I’m forced to use Vista to play Halo 2
my vista is fine … my vista is fine with halo 2 and other games u prob dont kno how to set it up rite or ur labopt is cheaping and crap and if u dont kno how to set it up then ur stupid casue it like one of the easiest thing to do..
You’re retarded… … You’re retarded… toshiba p100 and p105 models that come with vista all have this stuttering problem when watching movies and playing games. The only solution is to downgrade the bios to fix it.. but the newer models don’t allow you to do that.
I’m using one right now and I’m going to get rid of vista and install xp because some people claim that works.. and if it doesn’t im getting a refund.
Solution does not … Solution does not work on S9337 S9339 models because the 2.40 bios does not have those models included. Yes, windows XP runs perfectly on this laptop and all games run full speed and beautifully. This problem only occurs in Vista.
man i wish i knew … man i wish i knew about this b4i have a i bought the computer lappy toshitty p105 (ultimate stuttering weapon) neither nvidia and toshiba have realese any info or driver support for this whyyyyyyyy???????????????
My GPU and CPU … My GPU and CPU temps are fine. My CPU is better than most mobile ones out there. T7200 C2D 2.0Ghz 4MB cache. I’m using the latest drivers as of right now from nvidia (modding the INF to install them) and I still get the stuttering.
Nope. I’ve called … Nope. I’ve called Toshiba countless times and they tell me nothing. The nearest Certified Toshiba repair Depot is 130 Miles away from where I live. To drive there and come back then go pick it up and come back, i just dont have the time. Plus they keep it for weeks and school is about to start.
I had the same … I had the same problem with my p100-347 when I upgraded to Vista Home Premium but like u said after the bios and video card update it is solved… thank f@ck for that… Toshiba are proper slowpokes…
I have the new … I have the new toshiba satellite x205-sli1 with two 256mb nvidia 8600 gt graphics cards, 2gigs of ram and a 2.0ghz dual core processor. I’ve noticed the same problems when I try to play crysis and yes, toshiba is behind on their drivers. called in about it, and the first thing that pissed me off, was that they sent the call to india and I had a hard ass time trying to figure out what he was saying to me, then he told me some bullshit about how they update by quarterly.

I think you’re card is to hot because you’re FPS is good. Or you’re CPU is not good enough. Otherwise update you’re drivers.
