Hello
Howe can i insert more Ram in Qosmio x300 W, i am running Vista Ultimate 64 bits so i would like to have 8 GB Ram.
But i cant find out that it is posible where the extra 4 GB Ram should be.

Hi
Did you check your user manual?
No? Do it!
As far as I know such details are always mentioned in the user manual which is always preinstalled on the notebook.
I think the memory banks are placed at the bottom of the unit and you could access it very easily.
The slot should be placed near cooling ventilators and its covered by one screw.
Remove it and you should be able to remove the slot cover too.
In the user manual you should find also a detailed instruction how to insert new memory modules. Its not really difficult.
I have also found a info that 1GB, 2GB and 4GB RAM modules can be inserted into the both slots.
Hope I could help you!
Bye

  • Qosmio X300 - CORSAIR RAM is not working

    Hello,
    I own a Toshiba Qosmio x300-130 and in users manuall it is said it support max 2 x 4gb ddr 3 =8gb
    So today my CORSAIR RAM ARRIVED !!! AND i was suprised they didnt work !!!!
    Ima out of tricks what do u think the pr is ?
    here is the part number
    cmso4gx3m1a1333c9 i bought 2 x4gb :(

    Yup...... here is my story and how it went :)
    it looks like modules with 1066 mhz are rare these days and apparently....... the newe ones which are 1600 will not work under any circumstance.....
    So today the shop refunded my money and i decide to go by car and search for modules which are DDR3 and 1066 mhz and after 1-2 hours driving i found a small repair shop where, when i entered and asked they said they have.. and apparently this shop is collecting all these old modules and reselling them for good profit since these modules are more expensive than newer ones...
    Anyway we tried Kingston, Samsung, Adata and many other companies all of them worked i wanted to buy 2x4GB=8Gb the which according to manuall the laptop supports max 8GB RAM !!! but i was shocked after we loaded the modules 2x8GB = 16Gb again 1066mhz ola !!!!
    The laptop botted up and in phoenix Bios it showed 16GB !!! i was shocked ....... So i ended up buying the 16GB and went home happilly ever after ;)
    I hope RAM problem resolved

  • Qosmio X300 has random 5-10 second freezing and more

    I bought my Qosmio X300 in December 2008 and it has been into the authorized repair shop 3 times already. Here is my main problem:
    while using programs and/or the internet, the pointing device will freeze. The HDD light is flashing but not solid (but its always like that). Regardless, there is nothing I can seem to do to stop it from freezing. I have followed the advice of tech support and the the authorized tech repair shop and went back to factory install.
    Without any added programs installed (other than what came from the factory) it still does this. In one hour it can happen 10-20 times, very frustrating, especially when I am trying to mix music or edit video (which is why i bought it). After spending over 2000$ including an extended warranty, this is really driving me nuts. Even more that the problem cannot seem to be duplicated by the technicians. But I know I am not crazy, it is happening.
    Another odd problem which is INCREDIBLY annoying when I am writing an online email is that it will go back a page for no reason. I am not touching anything near the back space and sometimes just the touchpad but not the buttons, but then it goes back and my email is gone gone gone...
    Please help suggest anything...

    Try disabling the Wireless LAN in Device Manager. Does it still freeze?
    Also try updating the BIOS and Display Driver.
    When you type, your palm is touching the Touchpad, causing it to modify your document. To avoid this, you can disable Tapping or 'Tapping during Typing' in the Advanced Touchpad settings.

  • Qosmio X300 - Windows shows too little RAM

    Dear all,
    I have just bought X300 with 4GB memory. When I looked at the "Physical Memory" in the Windows Task Manager, it has only 1789Mb physical with 1056 Cached. It that normal?
    I have also installed "All CPU Meter" for Windows sidebar... it shows the same thing.
    Is it true that if you set your virtual memory to another drive (not c:), it will improve the performance.
    Thanks for your help.

    Windows XP and Vista 32bit dont support 4GB RAM as Akuma said.
    Why?
    Well, the physical address space is used to address more than just RAM. Its also used to address all of the memory and some of registers presented by devices. So if a notebook or computer is configured with the maximum of physical memory, some of that memory will be unusable because some of the physical address space is mapped for other uses.
    The following components require memory address space:
    - Integrated PCI devices such network cards
    - Graphic cards
    - Sound cards
    However, to use 4GB or more RAM, you must install a 64bit OS like Vista 64bit.

  • Qosmio X300-14N - Vista 64bit recognize only 1789MB of RAM

    Hello,
    I need some help with my Qosmio x300-14N.
    I'm using a vista 64 bit system and the OS only see 1789MB of ram.
    I have 2x2gb memory module.
    Please give me a solution!

    Hi
    How did you check this in Vista?
    How much RAM is recognized in BIOS?
    The notebook was equipped with 2 x 2GB RAM and therefore the hardware should be 4GB RAM capable.
    The software (Vista 64bit) should recognize the full memory since 64bit OS has no 32bit limitation which would recognize only 3.2GB
    In my opinion there could be something wrong with one of the RAM module this would explain why only one memory module has been recognized.

  • Qosmio X300 - difference between Physical mermory and installed RAM

    Hello every body, first please excuse my English, I'm French.
    After a lot of googling and thinking I just can't solve my problem and I thought this might be the best place to look for an answer.
    I've got a Qosmio X300 and the problem is that Windows Vista recognizes the 4GB of RAM installed but my total physical memory is only 1789 MB as you can see on the screenshots : http://nsm02.casimages.com/img/2009/09/17//090917080211659164470363.jpg http://nsm02.casimages.com/img/2009/09/17//090917080211659164470364.jpg.
    Well correct me if I'm wrong but the total physical memory should be 4000MB or at least 3,25GB which I think is the most Vista 32-bit can handle but surely not only 1,8GB.
    I installed all my drivers and Tempro doesn't find any problem with my configuration. Can you help me please?
    Edit : tempro did find a BIOS update but when i try to install it it says that the one installed is the same or newer than the one I want to install.

    Hi, thanks for theses first answers but they don't fix the problem. Here are the screenshots of dxdiag : [system|http://nsm02.casimages.com/img/2009/09/18//090918061908659164475751.jpg] , [video|http://nsm02.casimages.com/img/2009/09/18//090918061908659164475752.jpg]. As you can see it says that the ram is 1789 Mo and the video card has about 1100Mo of memory. Sp1 is installed but the bios version seems to be 1.00 according to dxdiag, I'll check it and then let you know.
    Edit : I checked the bios, v 1.60, the last one

  • Qosmio X300-14P - System crashes

    Hello,
    my Qosmio X300-14P has an problem...My system crashes at least 3-4 times a day and the reason is not the operating system or any other program...I don't know what it could be...Sometimes Windows (I use Windows 7) says the graphic card driver does not work correct. But I've tried all the drivers and none worked right...I hope you can help me.

    Hi,
    I think I got the same problem as you got. I used Vista 32-bit with 4MB Ram - but as we all know, we only can
    use more RAM by using a 64-bit operating system. So I installed a Vista 64-Bit version and my problems started.
    First, I had to install the new display driver - I used the new one from nvidia, but i did not work. Second, I used the
    driver from toshiba and it did no work, too.
    The problem was that my computer started as normal but after 2-3 minutes, the lights of the screen was switched
    out, but you still can see all opened windows on the screen...... - and some minutes later, everything is perfect.....
    for the next 20 minutes.......- i thought it is a hardware problem, but it seems to be a driver problem - i am still
    waiting for an answer of Toshiba services....
    Hopefully they got an answer. If I got one, I will let you know it - perhaps it works....
    Good luck :-)

  • Qosmio X300-14N - BSOD if I play games and can't update display driver

    Hi every one,
    I bought a Qosmio X300-14N last week in France.
    But every time I try to play a game ---almost every game--- I got a nmlddmkm problem with a "video driver has stopped responding and has been recovered" message
    I try to update my display driver, but any one I found on the Nv site cannot be installed. Even the link from the Toshiba support.
    Then I thought this could be a temperature problem, I download a Nvidia system monitor and try to check the problem, but this made it even worse, every time I double clicked the monitor short cut leads me to a Blue Screen...
    I am now completely mad with this computer. Hoping some one can help?
    By the way Im using Vista 64
    this is my system
    Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9000 @ 2.00GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.0GHz
    Memory: 4gb ram
    graohic card:2*geforce9800m gts 512mb

    If you haven't done so search Google, Yahoo, etc- the exact error message your seeing. This problem isn't unique to Toshiba, but more so seems to be an issue directly with Nvidia. I have tried all the canned responses, download this, update that and patch everything I could find. Still, the issue still exisits. After about 9mths of off and on problems, at the advice of Toshiba I dropped it off at the local certified repair center. They worked on the thing for 3-4wks and were unable to repair. They went as far as to replace the video card, and mainboard.
    After receiveing my un-fixed Qosmio from the repair center I called Toshiba- they informed me that I would have to send it directly to them as to be evaluated by one of there engineers. Basically the answer at this point is don't waste your time on it- ship it directly to them.

    Hi there,
    Specs: as per Qosmio X 300. SSD 110GB, pentium core 4 extreme, 4 Gb RAM, plenty free storage on SSD (29GB), NVidia drivers with primary being GE Force 9800 M GTS, Direct X10.  there is also a note down the bottom saying that if i have linked graphic cards (whihc i do i believe there are three), that i can expect better perfomrance with some software.
    Ok I aplogise from the outset, i am a layman and not that techie. K.  So the issue that I upgraded recently (last week) from vista ultimate 64 bit to windows 7 64 bit. ultimate.  For the main, I am reasonably happy with the outcome in most areas - except gaming that is. I have increased speed and agility and the processor is now rated at 7.2. WEI. overall the laptop is rated at 5.8. however, getting back to teh reason for writing, I have nothing negative to say about windows 7 (as compared to its predecessor) apart from wishing to resolve my game crash issue. which usually occurs about 15 mins - 20 mins into a game and comes in the form of a shutdown ? BSOD from whence the laptop reboots when prompted at on/off and wants to know if to start normally or in various safe modes. I have noticed that the laptop does become very hot at the back (around the fans) prior to teh shutdown, and i am wondering if this is an overheating issue, and how to resolve if this is the case. the only other thing i have noticed that seems untoward is that i have apparently lost a wireless jump start driver from the upgrading process which i cannot find anywherre, and may be totally unrelated to this issue anyway.
    All i want to do is play the games i could play on windows vista ultimate 64 bit. these include: Sims 3, sims 3 world adventures, sims 3 ambitions, highloft end stuff, and Bioshock. Oddly enough, i have played sid meyers civillisations revolutions IV (the latest one) with no crashes, and i havent tried ANNO 1404, but fear a similar fate may await this game as some of the others.
    Addditional information:
    everything is as i described it above, however the screen does not go blue but black,and the laptop shuts itself down,  laptop acts as if hibernating mode? (these are guesses) or some mechanism geared at preventing over heating - the back becomes very hot.  the machine can be rebooted from normal mode but comes up firstly with a screen suggesting that the laptop was incorrectly shutdown, and offers options as to safe mode, normal etc. i have been starting normally with no adverse effects.   This is scenario one.
    scenario two ends up similarly at teh reboot stage, but gets there differently. i play the game and the screen freezes, unable to move touchpad curser, unalbe to use ctrl alt del to get up task manager. end up having to crash to reboot.
    I am quite frustrated and very reluctant to mess around with things that i dont understand (dont want to make the problem worse!). I am happy to attemtpt to follow your good explicit advice.
    the only other negative thing i am expereinceing is screen flicker on internet. I have changed my power mode from high performance to balanced to try to nullify the overheating issue but i now am noticing this screen flicker which is irriating and appears on keystroke, or cursor movement.
    Please note well:  I am a layman, not a technician! Please explain in easy to (dummy) terms! Thanks!
    kind regards

  • How to use RAID 0 on Qosmio x300-11w?

    Hi,
    I have a Qosmio x300-11w with 2 320GB HDD and I would like to use them in RAID 0 for a bit more speed, I cant see any RAID options in BIOS. Is there another way to enable it?
    My BIOS version up to date version 1-30 I think.
    Anyone know if it is possible with this system?
    Thanks in advance

    Hello Teit
    If notebook has such option it is described in users manuals but according to this document for your X300 (PQX32E) RAID is not available. Not a word about it is there.

  • Dead pixel on my Qosmio X300 screen

    Hello
    I have a problem that happened today.
    My laptop was fine yesterday. I took it up in its bag, Went with it to the college and I switched on on and I found a dead pixel - Not just one tiny one. it is a small one, about 3 x 3 square on
    1440 x 900 resolution - on the screen. I don't know how it came or what does cause it in first place ?
    I tried to press on it gently many times and then, it was moved to another place. I did that again and It was moved again. I try now, but with no avail. I am really annoyed because I am not buying a quality laptop for such defects, although there is a range of maximum 8 pixel defect that should happened so I am eligible to change the screen. The problem it it annoys me. And I can't find a way to fix it. My laptop is just 7 months old. It is a Qosmio X300-158.
    What could I do ?
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks for your reply.
    I will try to visit them in the nearest time. Well in my case, if I considered that that is not dust and these are dead pixels, then there are 16 pixels of them. I counted them one by one, which is enough to entitle me to replace that monitor. However, I won't complicate things. There is also another problem that I can't leave my laptop for more than 1 day. All my work, designs and assignment are in it. I hope that can be fixed in less than 1 day.
    I think that of it is dust, that shall not take more than 2 hours to fix it, but who knows. I really need to take to them first. !

  • How can I know what kind of RAM my Qosmio G30-161 has?

    I want to add more ram to my qosmio G30-161. I could not find any info about what kind of ram or max ram that can be added from the manual. I read once but do not remember where that it is max 4G with 2g each ..DDR2 .
    I use windows media center as operating system- 32b.
    my question is where you can find the informations about the extension of memory ? so that i can buy the right ram

    If you want to pick up info about compatible high quality Ram modules I can recommend you to visit Kingston page. The full info about Rams for Qosmio G30-161 you can find HERE .

  • Qosmio X300-14P - Can I use another CPU?

    Hello,
    sorry for my bad English but my schooldays are along time ago.
    I thought about to buy a Toshiba Qosmio X300-14P.
    The price is ok for me but the CPU is not the strongest but the other X300 are to expensive for me.
    Is it possible to change the p8600 into a p9500 by myself? I know about the warranty but is ist possible to buy another CPU and do this into the X300-14P?
    If it is possible what CPU is possible?
    Thank you

    Of course you can upgrade the cpu, only i would do it via Toshiba service, since if you do it on your own your garanty is void.
    Of course this way is more expensive.
    Since you have the X300-14p, you can see in other models (series x32, not 31) what CPU is possible.
    The p8600 is the component that slows down the system, as you can even see in the Vista system check, where everything is 5.8 and 5.9 (graphics, 3d graphics, memory, hdd), only cpu is 5.3 and thus the bottleneck that slows down everything here.
    For the 9800gtx graphics an extreme or quad core cpu was better.
    I wouldn't upgrade it now, though, since it is too expensive in the moment, wait at least 1 year.
    I would NOT overclock anything in any way, because notebooks have a heat problem anyway, and overclocking is not meant for notebooks.

  • Qosmio X300-12H - Additional HDD Bracket

    I own a Qosmio X300-12h and recently bought a second hard drive after finding out that it would hold a second one. After buying the hard drive I then found out that the seccond bracket was not placed in the laptop. Thus not able to install it.
    Now the hard drive that I bought does fit into the area without a bracket but there is the possibility of it coming loose and causing more harm than good.
    I have been all over Toshiba's web site including the page with my spec laptop and there is no sign of a bracket fitting to hold my second hard drive in place securely. And yes I have even gone to ebay but no luck there either.
    If anyone has this spec laptop or simular to the X300 series could you please tell me if you laptop came with a second bracket or if you could like a web site that sells them this would be awsome.

    Ok, good news to all the people who have had the same problem as me and couldn't find the part online because its almost impossible due to having such a bad description of the item and no pics to go a long side it.
    I spoke to the Toshiba Parts department on and spoke to two lovely ladies who were very helpfull and made sure that the part I needed was the one that would correctly fit my laptop.
    For you all to make this one billion times easy here is the part number for the X300-12h with any luck it should be the same for the most of X300 series "k000061060"
    as to make sure that this is 100% compatible with your specific laptop as it might differ.
    Well best of luck to you all Toshiba Qosmio fans and happy gaming with uber size HDD's

  • Qosmio X300 - new nvidia graphic drivers are uninstallable: no nvidia chip

    hello,
    i have the qosmio X300-14P with windows 7..
    i play actual games (f.e. skyrim) which need the LATEST video driver!
    the x300 is said to have a nvidia geforce 9800M GTX video chip.
    however, when i download the latest driver (295.73 today), at installation it says :
    no nvidia hardware detected - unable to install !
    =====================================
    this is so with all nvidia drivers in the last 2 years (with windows 7 and windows vista alike) !
    what is the problem ?
    did toshiba not include an nvidia chip, but a cheap chinese noname chip, or what is the problem here ?
    whatever notebook i had before the toshiba, it would accept actual nvidia drivers.
    only the toshiba qosmio x300 doesnt.
    why ?
    it is vital that i install the latest drivers, how can i get by this problem ?
    the driver that toshiba offers for the qosmio x300 is almoust 3 years old (2009, now it is 2012!) -
    this is ridiculous!
    an actual video/graphics driver is urgently needed, it is vital that the nvidia drivers work.
    i ask toshiba :
    HOW can i get the latest nvidia driver to work in the qosmio x300-14P ?
    which is said to have a geforce 9800M GTX nvidia chip (though nvidia driver says : it does'nt).
    how can i get the latest `nvidia drive (295.73)r to work ?
    thank you
    q.

    thanks for the answers to all, especially blob.
    yes i am a gamer and therefore i need always the very latest graphics driver.
    (yes, skyrim runs, but not with highest settings of course).
    but i am about to buy a new notebook soon anyway.
    this branding is a problem i came across earlier with the toshiba ram already.
    that's the reason why this time i dont buy a new toshiba notebook anymore,
    i will switch to lenovo.
    i thought about the qosmio x770, as it has some nice features.
    but they removed firewire etc., well ok, i could maybe live with that,
    BUT i CANNOT live without an express card slot !
    the xpress card slot is vital, as only there you can expand your notebook.
    missing firewire could be corrected by a firewire express card, i always
    use e-sata hdd connections, so i have an express card with 2 esata ports
    (to have faster hdd writings). one internal esata port (even a combo port esata/usb2)
    is just not eno8gh for me, i have usually connected 2 or 3 external drives.
    as well i quite often use my express tv + video card.
    that a notebook at this price has no express card slot is unbelievable !
    this is a knockout feature for me.
    i can swallow a lot, but not a missing express card slot, as this is the only feature
    that makes it possible to expand a laptop (with a e-sata card, with a tv card, f.e.).
    and so i could switch my tvc card and my esata card and whatever else i need
    or might need later.
    i might have purchased the x770 had it an express card slot, but without
    it is so ridiculous that i would never buy it, no matter how good the other features are.
    an express card slot is VITAL for every notebook.
    that someone could spare it it like selling a rain jacket without a zip.
    too bad, because else the x770 is not so bad.
    i wonder what made them cut the express card out in a notebook
    (that is not expand-friendly anyway).
    i saw that some others companies did it as well.
    this will not be a fortune, as i foresee that many people will, if not at once, then later
    hate the missing express card slot.
    it was about time that they put good graphic cards in notebooks (while once they are branded,
    they are a hassle, good or not), and now they start cutting the vital express card slot.
    unexpandable is the first that comes to my mind when i think about the x770.
    the product designers at toshiba seem not to be very good.
    branding, missing express card slots - what else may we have to expect in the future ?
    i was about time to switch.
