Qosmio X300-14P - Not listed anymore

Hi,
I couldnt believe it: The Toshiba Qosmio X300-14p is suddenly not listed anymore among the models at the driver download page. Why?
Would Toshiba website creators please be so kind and include it again?!
================================================== =======
Really, such behaviour shows that there is no more difference between cheap noname notebook makers and the so called "good name" makers.

Hi buddy,
I dont know what problem you have and on what Toshiba website you search exactly, but Qosmio X300 is still listed on driver download page:

  • 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 X300-14P - 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 :-)

  • New Qosmio X300-14p with bios 2.40

    hi,
    i purchased a new toshiba qosmio x300 in a store that had a single one still in stock.
    i have had a x300-.14p (pqx32e-04h02wgr) before and thus know it a bit.
    i remeber : the latest bios for the x300 even today is version 2.10
    i was surprised that the new x300 i purchased has the bios version 2.40 !!!
    ================================================== =========
    how can a new x300 have a later bios than that offered in the official toshiba support site for the qosmio x300 ?
    my question : is this ok ?
    or is this some weird error and do i have to DOWNGRADE bios from v2.40 to V2.10 ?
    but it looks normal and as of yet i have not detected anything unusual.
    maybe a toshiba official can help ?
    but besides, any clue welcome.

    the hdsetup tool of course reports the same version than the bios : 2.4
    the notebook was one that has been standing as a demo in the shop for awhile, so it might have
    been used a couple of times by the personal for demonstrations to customers.
    so i repeat my question : how can there be a bios 2.4 when the latest offered by toshiba is 2.1 ?
    IS BIOS 2.4 OK for QOSMIO X300-14P ?
    ===============================
    of course i expect that someone from toshiba at least from time to time reads and answers here.
    this is the OFFICIAL toshiba forum on the official toshiba site, of course i expect them to read and answer here !
    what kind of company is this, anyway ?
    especially in cases like this, when users can obiously not help.
    and it is in their OFFICIAL website,
    i expect that they answer those questions.
    it is their job. thats what support forums are for.
    my question is still unanswered !
    i am still waiting for an answer (for quite some time, now).

  • Qosmio X300-14P: Will Sound 5.1 Headset - Razer Baracuda work?

    Hello fellas,
    I just bought that Qosmio X300-14P and would like to buy a new headset right now.
    Actually it's gonna be that Razer Baracuda Hp-1 which is a 5.1 headset.
    Will it work?
    I haven't found any serious information about that sound-platine which is implemented.
    I would be grateful for a very fast answer.
    Yours Faithfully
    KjubE

    Hi, no it cant be done, the reason being 5.1 surround headphones have 3 connectors ussually, 1 for subwoofer, 1 for rear and 1 for front. We only have 1 connector on the laptop.
    However, there are a few companies that make special units for this, one of them being creative labs.
    Hope this helped

  • Qosmio X300-14P : Graphic card issues and vertical stripes on display

    Hi,
    2 days ago, after a long notebook session of many many hours, suddenly after playing for 2 hours the game
    Patrician 4 addon, it crashed in a strange and never seen before way:
    The display would show strange and weird colours in all forms rushing over ther display. You could not recognize anything anymore, and after a few seconds of this the screen and the x300-14P completely froze/crashed (hung - no reaction on anything except power plug pull and/or 5 seconds push of ther power button).
    I was afraid since this to me looked like a serious issue of either graphic card (nvidia chip) or display.
    I hoped it was because of heat (though i have a powerful cooling pad below the notebook and heat shouldnt be a problem).
    Next day (yesterday) I launched the game immediately after startup, and after a few seconds the same crash appeared again with the same strange video glitches (never saw something strange like that before).
    I immediately did the 5 second power button press reset,. and then, when the first boot screen appears (the bios display hint and the loading/booting screen), there were like 2-7 vertical white stripes (on the black background) on the right side of the screen.
    They wouldn't move nor go away.
    I immediately turned the notebook off and it is off since then.
    To me this looks really serious, as if either nvidia chip (Geforce 9800-GTX) is broken or the display.
    Does anyone know something about this ?
    Has anyone heard of such a problem ?
    Who knows more ?
    I know, i can now connect an external monitor.
    If there is no problem, this should mean that it is a x300 display problem
    If the problem also appears on the external monitor, it is the nvidia gpu chip. That would be at least my guess.
    Has anyone any idea about this, what it might be and what i could do ?
    (i am afraid sending the x300 in to toshiba for fixing is not worth it, as it is pretty old
    (it was purchased new in june 2009). fixing it is probably too expensive.
    Any ideas about hthis problem ?
    I never had it before.
    Who can help ?
    Thanks
    P.S:
    I was thinlking about buying the new qosmio X870, but i just saw it has no express card slot, which i need for various expansion modules (like tv and video equipment, more e-sata cards etc.pp.).
    Without an express card slot i wouldn't buy any notebook, i need this slot urgently (it is like a pci-express card connection slot in a desktop pc).
    To me the express card slot is vital.
    Too bad many notebooks dont have it anymore.
    So io might need my x300 for some time,
    but what shoudl i do abpout this new strange video chip/display problem ?

    Hi,
    yes.
    even windows has now deactivated the whole graphic card, saying it was deactivated because
    it reported an error - CODE 43 .
    the stripes are still there at boot screen and bios screen, they go away though as soon as windows loads,
    but this has deacvtivated the nvidia chip (the nvidia device driver software wouldnt start at all, it says : no nvidia gpu connected (since it was deactivated by windows 7)).
    looks like i have to send the x300 to toshiba for repair (maybe even mainboard replacement).
    who knows how i can find the local toshiba repair company ?
    whom can i call in
    FRANKFURT AM MAIN
    GERMANY
    to get my toshiba notebook repaired ?
    if someone has the adress and even better telephone nummber, i would be happy.
    a second question, by the way :
    did someone of you ever replace the mainboard in a toshiba X300 / X305 ?
    how expensive was that ?
    thanks

  • Qosmio X770 display not recognized anymore

    I just bought a Qosmio x770 about a month ago and some day when I started it the login screen never appeared.
    In linux left me in command prompt and said that no screen configuration was found.
    Windows said nothing but the screen remained black.
    After a number of reboots it worked normally but only for a couple of hours.
    Plugged to an external monitor it works.
    Also when I boot in safemode (or failsafe) it works (I mean I can enter windows/linux at 640x480 resolution).
    I updated the bios to the latest version 1.30. What more else to try?
    It's really uncomfortable to send it back because I need it for my job (even connected to another monitor).
    My hope is that the problem is not hardware related and somehow I can solve it.
    Is there a chance?
    Thank you!

    I reinstalled the windows driver in safe mode ... and nothing.. But I didn't do anything before the problem appeared ... And linux is not recognizing the screen also. I tried to boot from an external hdd and the same problem. Fn F5 show me only the external monitor. I tried some 3d games on the external monitor and everything seem ok. When connected to hdmi linux boots up in X Windows but when running nvidia-settings there is no internal display ... only the external one.
    The strange thing is that the internal display is working in safe mode ... is it possible to be damaged then?
    Thank you

  • Qosmio X300-14P - Does it support RAID on eSATA port?

    The SATA Controller of my Notebook is the Intel(R) ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller. My question is: does this controller support port multiplying? I want to connect a RAID-Drive on my eSATA but the computer just recognizes one of the two drives. If it is supporting port multiplying: how do I activate or use it?
    Thanks

    hi phoelling,
    you can get further informations on [http://www.intel.com], search for "inte matrix storage device driver".
    as far as i know this chipset supports raid "0+1"
    how about the readme which comes with this driver?
    try this:
    - opening storage manager
    - klick (right) on the device
    - choose create volume
    if your external drive has a ready built raid
    the OS wont see the seperate drives because the raidfunktion of your external drive shows only one drive to the OS...
    please read the manual of your external raid device to check what options you have...

  • 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.

  • After updating to iTunes 12  the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed, I use Windows 8.1, how can i solve this?

    After I updates ITunes to the latest version (12), ITunes wont find my iphone and Ipad anymore, after searching I found that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed anymore, on the support website of Apple it doesnt explain how to solve this,.

  • How-to: Installing Windows XP on Qosmio X300

    Admins: please review this content, and make this topic sticky.
    I decided to try out Windows XP on my Qosmio X300-130 laptop, that came with Windows Vista 32-bit pre-installed.
    I bought XP Pro license + disc.
    Part A: Installation
    ===============
    1. Go to Intel website and download "Intel RST" drivers -- those are required to recognize the SATA disk. Unfortunately Qosmio X300 does not provide IDE emulation in it's BIOS.
    2. Download "nLite"
    3. Start "nLite" and choose option to slipstream the drivers, and choose to integrate Intel RST drivers, and create ISO. Burn the ISO on a CD-R.
    4. The new CD disc should be installable on our hardware
    Part B: Video
    ===========
    Unfortunately, Toshiba modified GeForce used in the laptop, so standard NVIDIA drivers won't install on Windows. (they do install on Linux BTW)
    PCI (and PCI express) code is made of several parts:
    -VENDOR ID (NVIDIA, main vendor)
    -DEVICE ID (chip used, GeForce 9700 GTS in my case)
    -SUB SYSTEM ID (Toshiba, secondary vendor)
    After you installed fresh XP, go to device manager, and see devices under yellow question mark. (devices that Windows can't recognize)
    Click on VGA (it is our GeForce) --> Details --> Device instance ID.
    You need to search original NVIDIA driver for your DEVICE ID (that is, so it matches the chip in your laptop exactly, DEV_062A for me).
    I had to change one single file from original NVIDIA driver:
    nvts.inf
    %NVIDIA_DEV.062A.01% = Section004, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_062A&SUBSYS_00011179
    -->
    %NVIDIA_DEV.062A.01% = Section004, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_062A&SUBSYS_FF011179
    Part C: Network & Audio
    ===================
    You need few drivers:
    -Intel WiFi 5100 drivers
    -Realtek PCI-E Gigabit drivers
    -Realtek HD Audio drivers
    -Technologov, 19.01.2011

    Very nice posting!
    Thanks dude for this! I think it could be interesting for others!

  • How do I hide selection in Photoshop CC , while the ⌘+H is not working anymore?

    Hi!
    I´m using now the finnish version of Photoshop CC. However, the good old ⌘+H shortcut for hiding the selection seems not to work anymore in Photoshop CC.
    And I cannot find the new shortcut for the command - neither I do not find the way to modify the shortcut, because the needed command is not listed anymore in the available commands in Edit shortcut menu. Makes no sense to me?

    Found it by myself, from not-that-obvious menu:
    That items related to the display of elements are situated under "View" should hardly be surprising.

  • Qosmio X300 15G - SLi option is not available

    Hi,
    I have a problem with the Qosmio X300 15G.
    I reinstalled Windows Vista 64bit, 64bit for Windows 7.
    Everything works except graphics.
    The problem is that the original drivers TOSHIBA 186.42. SLI does not work. The system administrator is the only and 1x9400m G and 1x9800m GTS. NVIDIA in the center can not find the tab with SLI.
    I tried newest mobile graphics drivers directly from nVidia http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/notebook-win7-winvista-64bit-258.96-whql-driver-uk.html
    but not install, says it can not find the device that I want to install.
    Can you please tell me some advice?

    So, I was so curious about this and I have installed Win7 Ultimate 64bit on second HDD to compare NVIDIA options to original preinstalled options in Vista 32bit.
    Result is as follow:
    -clean Win7 Ultimate installation
    -I have installed NVIDIA Chipset utility version 15.38
    -I have installed NVIDIA display driver version 186.42 and after restart I saw info SLI enabled shown near the small NVIDIA icon placed in notification area
    -check in device manager- three graphic adapters are listed there:
    NVIDIA GeForce 9400M G
    NVIDIA GeForce 9800M GTS
    NVIDIA GeForce 9800M GTS
    -right mouse click on desktop > NVIDIA control panel > NVIDIA Control Panel Section window is open > I choosed advanced settings
    -NVIDIA control panel is open > 3D settings > Set SLI and PhysX configuration option is available
    -there I found three options on the right side:
    1/Set PhysX GPU acceleration
    2/Select an SLI configuration
    3/Select the SLI focus display
    Under Manage 3D settings > Global settings there is also SLI performance mode available.
    So for me it works perfectly and there are the same options as on original Vista preinstalled OS. Im really wondering you dont have it.

  • TV does not work anymore on Qosmio G10

    Good morning,
    TV does not work anymore, may be due to an update. It has been working OK before.
    When selecting TV option 'TV direct ' with MCE menu, I get the following error message: "necessary files for video display are not installed or do not work properly, restart MCE or the computer". Restarting MCE and / or G10 does not solve the problem.
    -Intervideo WinDVD creator is installed.
    -TV PCI tuner seems to work properly (as per hardware status)
    Which files can be missing? What needs to be done?
    Any help, suggestions, well appreciated.
    Thank you to anyone answering this message.

    Hello Luciano
    Like you know on this way it is not easy to give you precise answer because we dont know what did you done exactly with your Qosmio.
    Please try to use System restore tool at first and roll back the operating system to earlier time. Maybe this will help you and the MCE configuration will be as before.
    Try it at first.
