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 14N - Nvidia Driver message: Driver are for 32bit Vista

Hi,
I bought a Qosmio X300 14N with SLI 9800GTS. When i'm trying to install the last driver Nvidia Notebook 179.48 NOTEBOOK(recommanded on toshiba site)
I have the message that the driver i'm installing are for 32 bit version not for 64bit but i'm using a 32 Bit Vista version.
With the driver that i'm currently using i have some problems on framerate wich is completaly strange; Sometimes it will be very fast and sometime very slow.
It's very disapointed to have this type of problem with this type a computer. My last laptop computer was a Dell and i'm beginning to regret it.
Is there anybody that could have an idea on this problem ?

Hello Gaudin,
I bought a Qosmio X300-157 and I've your same problems. When I try to update my Nvidia drivers, Vista doesn't allow me to finish the update because it say that my Windows version is not a 32 bit (while it is). I tryed several certified Nvidia drivers version from several sources but the result is always the same. I've also installed the new release of windows 7 (on a different partition) and when I update the driver I have the same problem again as in Vista. So I'm start to think that it's a Qosmio problem though it's unbelievable that a notebook like this payed more than 2000 euros can have this kind of problem.
I read that you solved the problem. Can you give me any suggestion? After the uninstalling of the driver how you can select the graphic card? Please help me because I'm going crazy!!!
Thx in advance.

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.

Re: Newest display driver for hibryd sli on Qosmio X300-14N

Hi all, sorry for my english but i'm french. :)
Ok, i have a Qosmio x300-14n, with an hibryd sli (9400M G + 2 x 9800M GTS).
The lastest driver on toshiba website are the 186...
Nvidia too...
But for recent game, sli is not reconized and it's very not cool for gaming laptop.
When the other drivers are going to go out?
Thks and sorry again for my english.

Hi,
You could install the generic Notebook Driver from the nVidia website, but its not recommenced since the generic driver could cause problems such as overheating.
I don't know if Toshiba will release newer drivers for the X300, I guess you could try the nVidia driver for a later model such as the X500.

Qosmio x300-14Y and Windows 7 - only 2 reproductors

Hi
I have problems with my Qosmio notebook after upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 64 bit.
The problem is that I can configure and only can hear 2 reproductors (Qosmio x300 14 Y has 4 + subwoofer which functioned well under Vista)
I tried to install drivers for soundcard from Toshiba website but with no success.
When I try to configure reproductors - then i can see only front left and right one.
I have additional 5+1 set witch I used back with Vista and now also listed only as 2 reproductors
Thanks all for answers.

i have made clean win 7 installation with c drive formatt, then windows 7 64 downloaded drivers - only drivers from nvidia have i downloaded manualy and off course sound drivers after problems.
the thing is that my 4+1 sound notebook is just 2 (stereo)

Server recognizes only half of RAM

Greetings, we have 8 HP servers Proliant DL 380 G5 with Bios p56 2011.02.05 version (the latest one, as I understand). Now, all servers have 4 1-GB FBDIMMS, which work fine.
Recently we decided to upgrade and purchased memory KTH-XW667LP/8G (according to manufacturer, it is equivalent of 466440-B21 HP/COMPAQ and is fully compatible with this model). I installed two 8GB FBDIMMS in one of the servers, but he sees only half of memory. Instead of 16 Gb it recognizes only 8Gb.
Now, I tried several vaiants:
1. All 4 1-Gb FBDimms (the old one) are placed in banks 1A and 3A, 2C and 4C. The 8Gb FBDIMMS are placed in banks 5B and 7B (according to the guide, this should be fine). The server shows 12 Gb (in BIOS and in RHEL). I.e. it recognizes fully the old memory, but not the new one.
2. The old memory is completely removed for experimental purposes. The 8Gb FBDIMMS are placed in banks 1A and 3 A. The server shows 8 Gb only.
Now, I tried it on three servers with various 8GB FBDIMMS (we bought 10 packs) to make sure, that this is not caused by server damage or memory damage. Nothing helps, the result is the same. I guess, the problem is not in servers and not in memory. There are no BIOS updates that I can install (we have the most recent version). So, what could cause this problem? Maybe I need to switch something inside the server in order to recognize memory? Maybe this is a memory redundancy mechanizm, that can be turned off or what?
This question was solved.

Hi:
I don't have an answer for you, but I don't see that you posted your question on the HP Business Support Forum - Servers section.
I recommend you copy and paste your issue on a new post there.

Qosmio X300-14N - Is there a way to have the latest display driver?

Hello,
Since the begging this computer has been very sensitive with video drivers, the use of SLI technology implies the use of the last Nvidia driver but our computer has never been officially added to Nvidia laptop releases. More generally, with some video games, I have big performances issues (for example Starcraft II), very high temperatures and sometimes artefacts.
Is there a way to have the latest officials drivers (without having to modify by hand .INF file) and what about temperatures issue ?
Thanks.

Arzul-there is a way to use the latest Nvidia verde notebook driver without you having to modify the inf. yourself.
I posted the full method in the gaming forum under 'Toshiba display drivers and what they dont want you to know'-just follow that but use the latest Nvidia notebook driver and matching modified inf. from Laptopvideo2go instead of the driver i mentioned as i posted that sometime ago.
I have an x300-13w with the hybrid sli set up and i'm using the 258.96 driver with the pre-modified inf. from Laptopvideo2go with no issues-i have the nvidia SLI profile running for Starcraft 2 and its runs great!
However i did purchase a Zelmann laptop cooler to help during the summer and even though my GPU temp gets to 80-90c this is no hotter than when i was using Toshibas outdated driver-i do also regularly use compressed air can on the vents.All this has helped me to have good stable gaming on all the latest games.
I do share your frustration at the fact that our laptop is not included officially in nvidia drivers even though it has a Nvidia chipset not an Intel one-but its all to do with cold,hard business-Toshiba do not want to pay Nvidia to have our 'old' laptop supported in driver releases.
One thing that you should do if you update your display driver-also update to the latest BIOS from Toshiba-this corrected a bug which had prevented screen brightness control from working with gpus in SLI with recent drivers.
You will lose the laptops ability to auto switch to the motherboard gpu when on battery as well as this is a function only built into Toshiba display drivers-but you can do this manually yourself in needs be.
One disappointing thing i noticed with the release notes for the latest Nvidia driver-it states that 258.96 will be the LAST one to support hybrid SLI-i dont know if this means we wont be able to use later drivers even with modded inf.
Anyhow.. good luck and happy gaming!

Satellite A200-21T: Windows 64bit recognize only 3GB instead of 4GB of RAM

Ae cs4 limited to recognize only 3gb of ram?

i have ae cs4 instaled on a 32bits win vista with 8gb ram... but my ae only show recognizing 3gb of it. any one know this?

Elaine, your answer includes some items that are factually incorrect or misleading.
> After Effects is limited to a theoretical maximum of 3GB of RAM per core.
No. The theoretical maximum is 4GB per core.
"The operating system imposes certain limits on the amount of memory that an application can use. After Effects on the Mac OS X operating system can use up to 3.5 GB of RAM, although only about 3 GB is actually available to the foreground application, because Mac OS X uses approximately 500 MB to load the user interface libraries. After Effects on 32-bit Windows operating systems can use up to 3 GB of RAM; however, to use more than 2 GB in After Effects, you must configure Windows XP or Windows Vista appropriately.... After Effects on 64-bit Windows operating systems can use up to 4 GB of RAM with no special configuration."
(See "Memory usage and storage".)
Your use of the term "RAM cache" is also misleading. Whether you have Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously on or not, the foreground process stores frames for RAM preview in a RAM cache. There is not a separate "RAM cache" for each of the background processes.
Also, you tell this person to change their RAM cache setting to a certain percentage. The original poster is using After Effects CS4. Only After Effects CS3 and earlier have the RAM cache exposed s a percentage.
> If you have a machine with multiple processing cores and a 64-bit OS
you can enable Multiprocessing in After Effects's preferences.
The Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously feature is not dependent on a 64-bit operating system. Yes, it works much better on a 64-bit operating system, but you can see performace gains with only two processors on a 32-bit operating system.

Qosmio X300-13W - 32bit or 64bit OS?

I ordered my Qosmio today (X300-13W) I think it will have the 32 bit vista home premium. I didn't want the 64 bit because I was afraid that it won't recognizes my old games.
After seeing blue keys thread I wonder if there will be a problem with the OS and RAM.
Does your X300 / X305 with (minimum) 4GB RAM and 32 bit Vista/XP recognizes all of the RAM?
Is there any significant difference between the two versions?

Your X300 already got a 32bit OS and already 4GB of ram installed. Your system would also show you that there are 4gb ram but a 32bit OS is not able to adress more than 3gb ram. So the system only uses 3Gb and also spend some of that to the graphics board or so on.
I think that you will also loose a little bit of performance (I compare Vista Home Premium 32bit with Win7 64bit, and the processor rating on the windows index ist 5.3 to 6.0).
You might be right that some older games or even "cracks" might not work on a 64bit OS. Thats life, but new games are runnig without any problem, some might have even a better performance.
Enjoy your new X300 with its 32bit OS an later on buy yourself a new hdd or even two and a 64bit OS and try it.

Qosmio X300-H15 - Low quality of Toshiba Fingerprint Utility performance

Hi
I had an excellent fingerprint tool for OEM Vista HP x64 (notebook model Qosmio X300-H15).
After I installed Windows 7 HP x64, I have only Toshiba Fingerprint Utility which is different. Its performance is poor. Percent of recognized fingerprint during user logon is very low. Also I should use fingerprint to enter Toshiba Fingerprint Utility. And it cannot import fingerprints dump from Vista's tool.
Does anyone know where to get Vista's fingerprint tool? And is it compatible with Win7 if I want to install it?
Thanks.

Im really wondering you are not satisfied with fingerprint functionality. 6 months ago I have upgraded friends Qosmio X300 from Vista to Win7 using Toshiba upgrade kit and we have installed latest fingerprint utility version 1.0.2.12from Toshiba download page.
It runs perfectly and until now. I asked him often how it works now with Win7 and every time he told me that Win7 runs perfectly so I presume preinstalled fingerprint utility works well too.
To be honest I cannot imagine that fingerprint reorganization on login was better under Vista than under Win7. I have tested it on friends Qosmio after Win7 upgrade and after 10 or more logins using my fingerprint login was successful. I can remember very well that just one time it was not successful but I done it pretty fast just to see if this will work or not but when I have done this properly everything was OK.
Anyway, check Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com and go to download section. Here you can find Vista fingerprint software for Vista 32 and 64 bit OS.

Qosmio X300 - Crashes while playing Call of Duty

Hey,
I bought Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 couple days ago and when I play the game for like 30-60 min, my screen turns black, and my sound freezes; starting to sound like a chainsaw.
I've downloaded the latest graphic driver, but it didnt help. Anyone have a clue of what I can do?
I run a Qosmio X300 32bit Vista Intel Core 2 Duo Cpu T9600 @ 2,80 GHZ, 4GB RAM the game runs fine, but its starting to get annoying to turn off and on my computer every half an our to play the game.
Any help would be appreticated.
Regards Blood$urge ;)

Could you please update me on this issue (X300-15G)? I have same issue here.
Nvidia crashed Nwn2 with the supported out of date driver, so updated to a newer version 195.62, but the gpu went above 100C and laptop auto switched off to prevent damage.
So then I used a large fan in my room directed on the laptop, I had to wear sweater as to not to catch flu, not joking, but this way the game never crashed (tested through about 24 hours including 8-hour non-stop) and laptop never switched off. I dont want to do this though. and I know that unsuported drivers are to be used on one's own risk, but I thought I bought a gaming computer, so you see I need to do something to play...
Older driver crashed nwn2, crashed civ4 if I set antialias, showed texture artifacts in homm4 etc, so you see supported driver is useless for playing - at least older - games on win7 x64. It is extremely out of date.
I will try a full recovery from scratch someday (actually I donot think it will fix anything regarding mentioned games), but until then please inform me if there is a better fix.
Btw, In my oppininon it is not fair from toshiba that it does not release up-to-date nvidia drivers for X300 series, since supposedly this is a gaming laptop.

Now laptop works.

It's not clear: what does mean "L500 series" - soft, say, for the "Satellite L500-ST2521" is applicable for Qosmio X300? Any model???
And only Flash card for "L500", but native VAP for X300?

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
