Random BSOD - Toshiba Qosmio X500 13R (Windows 7 Home Premium x64) have min

I've been having some problems with random BSODs on my laptop.
The laptop itself is fairly new,bought in March this year,really good model but refently I started having problems.
One day I closed the laptop and thinking it went into sleep mode but a few hours later when I opened it a BSOD stared me in the face,the processor part was pretty hot so I immediately restarted it to lower the temperature,but I remember that the BSOD had something about "Kernel Power" written on it.
It happend 3-4 times since then,the third time it happened I enabled minidump logging so now I also have the log from the last time it happened,can anyone take a look at it and tell me what is going on and how to fix it??
I still have a guarantee on this baby so I can get it fixed for free if it's a hardware issue, still I have some important work to do this week (already almost lost a crucial project file on this) so I want to try and fix it myself for now,until I get this project done.
Thanks!!!

The BSOD can be caused by software of hardware issue.
You can check if new OS installation would solve this if its software issue then a fresh OS installation is the right workaround. Before starting a OS installation, backup the data ;)
But of course the issue could be related to hardware; for example high temperature.
You said that you have noticed higher temperature while happening.
So maybe the memory modules are affected by higher temperature and this leads to BSOD. In most cases clogged fans are reason for that. Check if dust and debris needs to be removed you can remove dust using compressed air spray.
But if this does not help, I would recommend checking the hardware under warranty conditions

Qosmio X500-13R - Wireless issues

Hello everyone, I have recently bought a Toshiba Qosmio X500-13R. Since the 1st day I bought it the computer had problems with the wireless card. At first I though it was my wireless router problem but then i tested it in various routers and it has the same problem everywhere.
I have done some testing and it appears that after a while the laptop looses the wireless network momentarily (for like 1 min) and then regains it.After running a ping -t command i found out that when it works normally the ping is something like:
Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL 64
right before the problem occurs the ping response time starts to change from <1ms to 100ms then 200ms then 1000ms etc and finally the network drops.
I have updated my wireless lan drivers but nothing changed.
Please any help would be appreciated!

Hello
Are you using the preinstalled OS from Toshiba? In your case I would try to disable the WLAN power saving option in Windows Power Management. You can choose Maximum Performance for WLAN card.
Furthermore you should try updating the BIOS. The newest version can be found on official Toshiba website.

Qosmio X500-014 (LED Backlit Display)

Hello all, quick question here.
Just picked up my new Qosmio X500-014, although I'm quite satisfied with this machine I wish this particular model had the LED Backlit Display for the keypad.
Would it be possible to buy the correct Backlit keypad and swap it for the one in my mcahine? Or are there other components required as well?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for reply Dr.Lamp.
I did take the time to call Toshiba today and was told that I have a canadian model with multilingual keypad no backlighting. (Qosmio X500-014 Mfr. Part Number: PQX33C-01400N). They also told me that they do not carry nor sell parts for these laptops, any advice as to weather a backlit keypad would be compatible with my model is inconclusive. They did however give me the number to there parts supplier:
National Parts Depot (1-800-524-8338)
Speaking with a Rep at National Parts Depot I was told they do not carry parts for the canadian versions, only the US versions. They do not have any reference to the X500 version only the X505 version.
Now I`m confused, is the X500 canadian only and the X505 the US variant? This may explain why all the models I see here in Canada have the same multilingual keypad with no lighting? (not sure)
So I decided to take things a step further and gave them the part number to a US model that has the English only LED backlit keypad . (Qosmio X505-Q850 Mfr. Part Number: PQX33U-00L00H). NPD won`t give me the part numbers for the keypad, but does have availability for $90.00 US funds, no guarantee that the LED lighting will work with my model number but should physically fit into my X500.
So, I guess I need to find the parts supplier for Canada and see what they have to say, if all else fails I may just take the $90 dollar gamble on the keypad for the X505 and see what happens, worst case I can always resell it on Ebay.
I`ll keep this thread updated with any findings, thanks.

Qosmio X500-014 PQX33C-01400N display does not wake on reboot

Recently my Qosmio X500-014 PQX33C-01400N display does not wake on reboot. I can see the the HDD status light working but I don't see the BIOS boot process or the Windows login. It's just blank. I know it boots Windows as I hear the chime and the webcam lights up waiting for face recognition.
I can reboot and plug in an external display and see the whole boot process and it works, but when I log in, Windows does not detect the laptop display.
For the laptop display to work. I reboot and wait until I see the webcam lightup which I assume means Windows is already in login prompt. I close the built in LCD display down and wait for the laptop to go to sleep mode. Once in sleep mode, I prop up the screen and it awakes like normal. I now don't shut down my laptop because of this. I just close down the screen and put it on sleep so I can easily get to it by simply waking it up.
Is this a hardware problem? BIOS problem? display adapter problem? I've never seen this problem in any forum.
Any advice would help. Thanks!

As that's a Canadian model, you'll want to check their support site.
I'm not a tech support agent, but I doubt it's a driver issue because it's manifesting pre-Windows. Try checking for any relevant BIOS settings.

Qosmio X500: power adapter stopped working for no reason

Hi,
Now i have my Qosmio X500 for a year and i like it, however i have small problems with it, and i would like to know if it can be problematic.
The first thing is that my power adapter stopped working for no reason,
So i bought a new one, but it always made some noise when the laptop was fully charged.
I know people with the same laptop and their adapter didn't make that sizzling noise, it looks like it was already defect from the begin.
Then i have one dead pixel in the middle of my screen, no problem for me.
Finally my screen is a bit loose from the laptop, when i close it, i can move it, it always seems like it's not on it's correct place, because when i close it normally it's not 100% horizontal...
Also when i replace my screen, my speakers make crackling noises and my webcam stops working.
So all those problems i have annoy me, especially the last one (webcam and speakers problem), can this fit in the warranty of the laptop? I did extend the warranty for one year...
Thanks in advance.

> The first thing is that my power adapter stopped working for no reason,
> So i bought a new one, but it always made some noise when the laptop was fully charged.
I think this is AC adaptor fault maybe a broken cable or something like that I would recommend you to replace this get in contact with the dealer and ask for the new one.
> Then i have one dead pixel in the middle of my screen, no problem for me.
I found a info about such issues:
+Information on screen technology and pixel failure tolerance for LCD displays

> Finally my screen is a bit loose from the laptop, when i close it, i can move it, it always seems like it's not on it's correct place, because when i close it normally it's not 100% horizontal...Also when i replace my screen, my speakers make crackling noises and my webcam stops working.
Maybe you should ask Toshiba notebook technicians for a check maybe some screws or the hinges are loose.
The speakers should be checked with connected headphones. If you will not notice the same crackling sound using headphones, then the issue might be related to speakers

Qosmio X500-126 issues

Hello! I bought two laptops Toshiba Qosmio X500-126 in 2010 (one for me and one for my boss). The problems began on the first year. One of the laptops (the one of my boss) was literally thrown out as rubbish a year after the purchase. The problems with my laptop started with the registration of the warranty. After several calls to the store and a few hours I was able to register the warranty. My first complaint was about overheating and shutdown (enter date 16.07.2012). The laptop was warming up so much that the fan had melted and separated from the bottom cover at one of the ends. I took the laptop from repair on 23.07.2012 and they made me pay for fixing it. On 01.10.2012 I left the laptop for repair again due to overheating and shutdown problems. The temperature began literally to melt and bend the upper and lower lid ... The lower lid wasdeformed to such an extent that it is separated from the rear side and had trouble with the hinge of the display. Because of the hot air from the fan, the screen bottom began to fade (near to the fan). Moreover, the computer totally refused to work and to turn onagain. At the repair office they replaced the charger, cleaned the laptop and sent me an offer for a new bottom and top cover. They told me the damages were mechanical and I caused them! On 25.02.2013 my laptop refused to turn on again and had to bring it for repair again. They give it back to me with changed charger on 28.02.2013. This time I got blamed for the bad conditions at our office, although there was no other case of a broken only equipment for the last four years except the laptop. On the 30.07.2013 I left the laptop againfor repair. This time I chose another maintenance office that works with Toshiba. The plastic parts of the laptop were so bent and melted that this time no one could say that I've broken it. The laptop was heating like a stove... Through the warranty, the bottom cover was replaced, but not the top cover. Its lower part, which is close to the fan and to the display, was also visibly melted.. The repair was completed on the 14.08.2013. A week after I noticed problems with the display. First, I started to get green lines and pixels on the display, and then when one tried starting the computer, the display refused to work. I left my laptop for repair again – this was on the 16.10.2013. I definitely regret the choice I made when buying my laptop.... The truth is that I am convinced that the model Toshiba Qosmio x500-126 has some serious problems! Another option is that I've got adefective batch?!I'm a professional 3D designer and I have never come across such a defective product like this one! Nneither I, nor my colleagues will buy anything made by Toshiba again! I hope no one will have my problems! My warranty expires in a month and definitely I won’t give a penny for further repairs... I will simply buy a new laptop from another brand.MyI only hesitation is whether to shoot video with the deformed Toshiba Qosmio (I'm sure many people will be interested to see how a toshiba computer bought for € 1,750 is a total wreck) or to sell the parts at a lower price to help the people who are caught up in the Qosmio hell... I feel that in Bulgaria Toshiba's importer resells defective goods on full price without the knowledge of Toshiba... I'm very disappointed! There are two photos: <a href="http://pho.to/3zTfz">http://pho.to/3zTfz</a> PS: My laptop serial number is: 4A109347W (if anyone from Toshiba decided to check my case and not to delete this post.)

Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
Its really pity that you had such problems with your notebook. :(
Hardware problems are really annoying and I can understand your very well.
You said the notebook has been taken for the repair again so lets hope it will be fixed properly this time
Ive got two Toshiba notebooks.
Both have been running properly all the time. But of A210 shut-off automatically some month ago.
I disassembled the notebook (warranty was not valid anymore) and cleaned the fans.
The cooling modules were really dirty and I removed a lot of dust.
I renewed also the thermal grease. Since then the unit run properly. No shut down anymore.
However, good luck mate and hopefully the agents will be able to fix the hardware problems.

Qosmio X500-110 - Webcam failed to initialize

Hi
I have a Qosmio x500-110. Bought brand new out of the box and I havnt changed nothing.
It displays this error message after startup "webcamera failed to initialize...restart application or computer" and the webcam stops working. Also when this happens the finger print reader and bluetooth devices also stop working. The finger print say "failed to connect to sensor". As soon as you restart the computer it works fine. Then again it may go anytime.
I dont know wat is causing this prblem. I have downloaded and reinstalled the drivers also (Windows 7 64bit) and the softwares for the same but dosnt help.

Hi
So you have already reinstalled the webcam driver and still running preinstalled OS without any 3rd party applications and this error occurs?
Well, I think in this case your only chance is the authorized service provider. The technicians should check your notebook, maybe its a hardware problem or something else. Just contact the guys and explain the situation. They will help you as best as possible.
Good luck! :)

Qosmio X500 - Windows 7 stuck at Login Screen

Machine: Qosmio x500-10U
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium OA
Start up and installation worked first round. I then made the following partitions:
C:Windows (original system partition)
D: Data (here I put all my working files)
F: Executables (here are all the binary executables that I use)
I moved some files from C:\Programs to F:\Programs.
Everything worked fine.
Then I got clever and decided to change F: to E: (for executables) to do this I had to move E:DVD (original system default) to a new letter. I chose O:DVD (for 'Optical') and moved F: to E:.
Then I re-booted.
Now the system boots all the way to the login screen except that there are no user choices. Windows itself has obviously started because other functions such as the 'Shutdown' and 'Restart' buttons work. But no User icons or boxes appear to select a user and enter a password.
When I boot from an UBUNTO disk the DVD drive also works and I can still get hold of all my data on the various partitions. I just can't get windows itslef to log on.
I have a recovery file on the hard drive but no Optical disk because it kept saying that the creation of the recovery disk had failed.
I suspect that I need to fix some drive pointers in the windows registery file. Unfortunately the 'regedit' utility doesn't work under UBUNTO.
Any ideas?

Hi
That means on login screen you cant choose the different users, is this right?
If yes it would be interesting to know which users is logged in after booting Windows. Check this!!
To be honest this is a little bit complicated and I dont understand why you did this procedure. In my opinion this has muddled the Windows registry or some other important files and the only option would be reinstalling Windows I think.
> I have a recovery file on the hard drive but no Optical disk because it kept saying that the creation of the recovery disk had failed.
What error message you get exactly? Maybe the recovery disk creator cant find the files anymore Why you didnt create the disk before?
Now you could try the HDD recovery option. This would be your last chance to get factory settings back and maybe it works

Qosmio X500-126 Shuts down

I have a TOSHIBA Qosmio X500-126 bought 01.07.2010 warranty expired 30.06.2013
On 25.05.2013 I experienced a problem wile playing a new generation game. My PC turned off. I thought i was over heating but i continued to shutdown each time i played Heavy PC games on High-Ultra Graphic settings.
On date 28.05.2013 i sent it to get serviced. They switched one of my PC-cooling fans and returned it to me.
The computer worked for about a week than the same problem started again.
On date 13.06.2013 i sent it back again. The employees switched a fan again (i don't know if it was the same fan or a different one) and returned it to me.
This time the Computer worked till 09.07.2013 when I set it back for a Stuck WIFI switch they fixed it and returned it to me.
The PC continued to work properly till date 07.08.2013 when the problem of shutting down started again. This time the employees only did diagnosis. And i know a diagnosis will not fix the problem currently i am using the computer to only what movies and browse the internet. Because no mater what PC game i try running the PC just shuts down, no matter the Graphic settings.
PS: I am quite dissented in the service.

Need new Lap Top Qosmio X500-02M

Hi all, new to this forum so looking forward to reading some of your expert advise. Time to upgrade my laptop......again, I am looking at the X500 02M. I want the best fastest lap top I can get my hands on for what I do... is this it??
*I will be using it for the following*:
High speed internet use, must be very quick at opening numerous pages and letting me scan between all open web sites with a quick refresh time.
Forum discussions, I talk on quite a few forums and they do take a while to refresh when I am on 3-4 at a time, must be quick here.
Photography and photoshop, I will have the Adobe Lightroom 3 (when it's realesed) downloaded on the laptop. I will also have a 500GB external hard drive with photos on it that. I will be importing from the external hd to photoshop. I don't want to be waiting all day to import and work on photos.
I will also be watching DVD's including Blue Ray and I know the X500 02M supports this function.
I realise this laptop is predominately for gamers but will it also fulfil my needs, I am not a gamer so if there is anything else out there that will do the same job in Toshiba please let me know. I am very keen on this model though and I have done a fair bit of research.
I will also be getting the Gaming Backpack and a few other odds and ends. Please recommend any additional extras you think would come in handy.
Cheers, look forward to the responses..

I presume all Qosmios x500 are preinstalled with 64bit operating systems only.
Every Toshiba notebook is delivered with preinstalled recovery image. This recovery image contains operating system, all necessary drivers, Toshiba specific tools and utilities and also some additional applications.
Some of them you don't need and it can be removed from the system. Many Toshiba tools and utilities start with OS but some of them you don't need at all and they can also be removed from the system or disabled in MSCONFIG > Startup. Just optimize preinstalled operating system and make it faster. So you will be able to swath very fast between all applications you use.
One more thing: you can also configure power settings, CPU performance, cooling method and so on. With right settings you can have optimal hardware performance and pretty quiet notebook.
Mann, there is so much you can do with it. Anyway, X500 looks great. Friend of mine has one and he uses it for gaming. It is really great piece of hardware.

Qosmio X500/02G gaming/fingerprint/crashing problems

hi all, i have recently brought a Qosmio X500/02G about 2 months ago, i had initially had a problem where i launched modern warfare 2 and it took forever to load then i had massive lag in the game where my soldier couldnt even move most the time and i was waiting for it to crash but never did it just lagged the whole time, so took it into harvey norman to check it out they rebooted it and now i my original fingerprints dont work and when i try to install it again it says already stored but their is no finger prints stored in the finger print menu, however my game started running with less lag, but then once i passed a few levels it starts massivly lagging again, i have called toshiba support and havnt had much luck accept to take it back to harvey normans and get them to sort it but i havnt had much luck so far. I payed $3,300 for this machine and was promised it was the best for gaming but so far has been a massive headache, is it because its 64 bit? this model doesnt have an option to run in 32 bit as its designed only for 64 bit... advice? shall i take it back to harvey normans and make them fix it till it runs perfect with no lag or never crashes on any of my games (it even crashes on colin mcrae dirt)

It had problems the first day i brought it, and then when i installed modern warfare 2 it lagged like crazy and i returned it to harvey normans straight away to complain about it, then they reformated it and, i lost the fingerprinting ability with a few of my fingers as it stored it in a place where i cant delete and it wont recognise it any more, alot of people have this problem also with upgrading their toshiba to windows 7 where mine is reformating, and then the computer crashes on colin mcrae dirt constantly and especially when it loads the races up, then it freezes whilst watching a dvd on it in which i have to restart the computer, then the most recent event is it goes to a blue screen and tells me its dumping physical memory then shuts down and when rebooted the prompting got worse till the point where i have had to do a recovery where it is back to some what of a stable state but end result im not happy at all with this laptop and i wish i never brought it. If toshiba wants my money in future they better sort this problem out asap.
This is all i could gather from the computer crashing.

Qosmio X500 - Black screen crash when loading games, requiring reboot

I have a brand new Qosmio X500 (PQX33A-00X00J) with all the original drivers as they came out the box, and 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium OS. The only thing I've done on this laptop is install games. The laptop runs fine for most things, and for a very few games (Unreal Tournament 2007 is the only one so far), but almost all games crash with a black screen the first time they're run. Sometimes I'll see a splash screen the first time, and once or twice I've got to a start screen, but thereafter the screen goes completely black, no sound, and the machine freezes requiring a reboot.
It's extremely frustrating, considering this is a brand new, out of the box gaming laptop, and I haven't changed any drivers or anything. It's running an Nvidia Geforce GTS 250M display card, and the native resolution for the LCD screen is 1920x1080. I suspect it may have something to do with the unusual native screen resolution or the aspect ratio, because I managed to get one game to run (FEAR) by going into the supplied config utility and setting the game's default screen resolution to 1024x768. FEAR has the same crash if set to a higher resolution.
The games I've tried:
Unreal Tournament 2007 - runs perfectly at all resolutions
Half Life 2 - crashes on launch with black screen, no sound, requiring reboot.
Counter Strike - the 1st time I managed to the setup screen, changed screen resolution, it crashed immediately. Thereafter it crashes straight away on launch, I can't even get to the setup screen. Uninstalled, reinstalled, same thing, crashes on launch with black screen, requiring reboot.
Bioshock - only ever got a "Bioshock" logo, then crashes with black screen, requiring reboot.
Frontlines - Fuel of War - crashes on launch with blank screen, requiring reboot.
Call Of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare - crashes immediately on loading with black screen, requiring reboot.
Crysis - crashes immediately on loading with black screen, requiring a reboot.
Except for UT 2007, almost every game has just crashed the first time it's been run, I usually don't even get a 1st shot at trying to change any settings. I've tried loading the games that provide a safe mode in that (e.g. Modern Warfare), but the same thing happens. I've also tried setting the laptop resolution to 1024x768 before running the games, but no difference. I've also made sure I'm running the latest patched version of the games, and I've checked the Toshiba website, but there are no driver updates so far that I can find for this laptop either.
I'm completely pulling my hair out, and solving this is very time consuming, because every time I try anything I have to reboot before I can try something else. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Someone suggested I try turning off my antivirus, and it turns out that was the problem. It seems Comodo has compatibility problems with games in Windows 64-bit editions since one of their latest releases.

Upgraded Qosmio X500-10T to Win 8.1: Sound drivers for 5.1 over HDMI

Hello *brilliant* Toshiba community,
I have recently upgraded my Qosmio X500-10T from 64-bit Windows 7 to 64-bit Windows 8.1.
I have left Windows to download driver updates.
My setup: Qosmio (HDMI) => Yamaha AV receiver (HDMI) => Samsun LCD TV.
_The Problem:_ Playing a video file (in MPC-HC) with 5.1 sound only outputs 2 channel PCM.
Would it be better to install the Win 7 drivers from Toshiba even though they are older and for a different OS, or install windows 8.1 drivers from another Qosmio, or leave the Win 8.1 drivers found by Microsoft?
This driver issue is made more problematic as I don't actually know what the technical hardware components are in the machine so its not as though I can find a win 8 driver for them.
As always any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Hi
From my knowledge the Win 7 drivers are totally different from Win 8.1 drivers and I doubt that Win 7 driver would work properly on Windows 8.1 system. However, you can test such Win 7 drivers too. But of course I would recommend you to use the Win 8.1 drivers released for other notebook series.
As Im not mistaken the Qosmio X500 needs 2 sound drivers: Conexant (chip CX20583-10Z) sound driver as well as the nVidia sound driver (for HDMI)

Can I add a second hard drive on Qosmio X500-12Q?

Hi,
i'd like to know if its possible to add a second hard drive to the X500-12Q ?
i suppose the space is available but i'd like to know if the connector is here & everything
so i could just open the enclosure and plug it in.
thanks

Hi jeandujardin,
I dont have Qosmio X500 but generally speaking its no problem to exchange the internal HDD with a SSD but I dont know if the model has 2 SATA connectors.
If you are not sure ask the salesman if its possible to install a second HDD or SSD.
SSDs are no problem because they have the same SATA interface as normal HDDs.

No display function on Qosmio X500-13R
