Hi Kari, how are you?
I agree the chipset driver and video driver are needed.
I've looked a lot at the Toshiba's drivers available, and haven't been able to find a chipset driver for this laptop for Win 7 x64...
Have you found a download link for this driver?
I've found some Win 8 drivers that MIGHT work, but who knows...
There are no Vista (or older) drivers listed that I see.
Ah I did not check which drivers the site offers. The missing SM Bus driver however inclines that the chipset driver is not installed, so it would be IMO crucial to find it in order to get other things to work.
How about this:
Drivers & Software Support | Toshiba
Cool, sounds like a plan...
What I still find odd is that it is for an Intel chipset, and from what I know this laptop has an AMD CPU (APU)...
I did see an Intel chipset driver for Win 8, but wasn't sure about all that (Win-7/Win-8 and AMD/Intel)...
Maybe Toshiba uses AMD CPU's with an Intel MB chipset ?
That is the chipset driver you get when you search drivers for Toshiba Satellite C875D-S7225. Funny...
First of all I wanted to thank the both of you for helping me with this issue. I greatly appreciate it. I'm sorry it took me so long to reply. I just got home from a road trip for a soccer tournament.
David: I think I copied all the drivers off of the old HD. I haven't tried copying them to the HD yet. I looked at Device Manager on the old HD and it didn't show any drivers for a Monitor.
As far as getting all the personal data off the old HD...it's too late. All personal data has already been deleted and lost. I already ran some recovery programs and the only data recovered was images from the internet. I also tried connecting the HD as an external HD and didn't have any luck that way as well. Before I replaced the old HD I tried reinstalling Windows 7 on it and it still had a hard time booting up. Also what is IMHO?
Kari: When I was reinstalling the drivers from the Toshiba website I could not find a driver download for the chipset. I can tell you the first driver I downloaded was the internet driver I believe.
So let me make sure I am understanding everything you are saying. The laptop has an AMD CPU but is installed on an Intel MB? Also should I go ahead and try to copy everything on the new HD from the old HD or see if I can find drivers from the link you have provided?
Kari,
Where did you find the page for the Intel chipset download. I went to the link you provided and it just took me to the support page. I went to the driver and software page, entered the model, and could not find the Intel chipset download.
IMHO = In My Humble Opinion
I have a heck of a time finding the driver Kari shows...
I found it once, but can't find it now
If I find it again, I'll download it and attach it to this thread!
Entering the laptop model Satellite C875D-S7225 at Drivers & Software Support | Toshiba and clicking Go gives a list of drivers for that laptop. The list of correct drivers is then presented in the middle of the page as shown in this screenshot:
I clicked the Filter by: Chipset on the left pane. I do not know Toshiba's support page, never having had a Toshiba, but as far as I know and understand these should then be the chipset drivers for selected model?
However, when I now went back to said Toshiba page, the Filter by: list no longer has chipset to select! I am absolutely sure the chipset was mentioned in that list when I checked it last time and gave that driver.
EDIT: Geeks, this is my mistake. I had to check this a bit more, I have found my mistake. The chipset drivers are shown on that Filter by: list but only as long as no laptop model is given, when the list is showing all available Toshiba drivers for all possible Toshiba laptops.
As soon as the model number is given and list updated, the chipset is longer presented on that list. I made a mistake, it seems I had typed the correct laptop model in search field but not clicked Go to update the search so the list was not for OP's laptop model but showing all Toshiba drivers.
The Intel drivers I told earlier are wrong. My mistake, sorry.
I don't see a Chipset filter in the left pane.
I normally use FF but my screen print is from IE10 to eliminate a FF addon causing the issue for me...
I have been able to consistently find a chipset driver for Win 8, but it has a different date than the driver you showed...
