Qosmio X300-14U - XP drivers available?

Is there any XP drivers for Toshiba Qosmio X300-14U or could I use Vista drivers for Windows 7?
Thanks in advance

Hi
All available drivers you can get on the Toshiba website:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
For Qosmio X300 are no XP drivers available because XP is the past and its fast enough for Vista or Windows 7. Furthermore the most Vista drivers are also work on Windows 7 but you can already find new Windows 7 drivers on the Toshiba page. :)

  • Qosmio X300-14U - How to make a dual boot system?

    Hello to all Toshiba X300 users!
    I have recently bought X300 14U and I am trying load XP as a dual boot. I have used floppy, I have done everything in my power to dual boot.
    Please could somebody help? I have checked the forum to see how to do it but it keeps on telling the same thing what I have done.
    I have tried to ask Toshiba what chipset it is using but they are just guessing.
    Could some please point in the right direction tell which store manger I need?
    Which chip set and SATA drivers I need an how to apply these to make a successful dual boot with XP Pro SP2?
    I have Vista Home premium installed.
    I have done as much as I can do.
    I have even tried to run virtual pc but Vista home Premium does not support it.
    Than k you very much

    Hello
    Check also THIS page. At the end you can find a guide for "Slipstreaming SATA driver into WinXp boot CD using nLite".
    I don't understand why you mean this notebook must support everything. As I can see this notebook model is not supported for WXP and if you will install it successfully you will still missing important drivers, tools and utilities and you will not be able to use WXP as Vista.
    On one side I understand you but other way to have WXP with limited functionality is also not the solution.

  • Replacement fan for a Qosmio x300-14U

    Guys, would anyone know a store that sells fans compatible with this model?
    Google seems to fail me and I don't really have the time to send the laptop in for 'repair' that will take a month and cost more than a new laptop..
    Preferably some store that ships to Sweden.

    Maybe stupid question now but what you want to do now? Do you want to exchange it alone?
    It will be nice if someone here will take a time to search it for you. My tip is eBay. There you can find a lot hardware parts for different Toshiba notebooks. Maybe you will be lucky and find it there.

  • Qosmio X300 - 14u Screen Max Resolution

    I am struggling to find accurate information regarding the maximum resolution of this laptops display.
    it is quoted as 1440x900 but the specs say WSXGA+ 1680x1050
    size : 17 "
    type : Toshiba TruBrite® WSXGA+ TFT High Brightness display
    internal resolution : 1,680 x 1,050
    and
    Widescreen TruBrite® XGA (1440 x 900)
    So which is it?

    OK, bit more research and I find out its 1680x1050 and it also has an extra graphics card onboard in the shape of a GS9400M for desktop power saving.
    Nice

  • Qosmio X300-13W or X300-14U? What's the difference?

    The X300-13W and X300-14U seem to be exactly the same here: [http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/series/Qosmio-X300-series/1056665/]
    But the second is 250 pounds more expensive!!! What makes the difference? ?:|
    I've put my order for the x300-13w on hold and I am waiting for your answers to proceed!
    Anyone?

    A little late, but I was looking for this kind of info few weeks back. Toshiba sometimes sells both directly and then does the 13U by reseller only.
    I contacted Toshiba and they advised there was infect no difference other than one offers 64-bit Vista. In my opinion, and theirs, buying vista 64bit yourself would be cheaper and as Toshiba offers necessary drivers for download it wouldn't be too much of an inconvenience.
    I went for the 13W and am happy with the choice. It runs great!

  • 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.

    Hello
    I have Qosmio X300 too and have tried with clean Win7 installation but I didn't had enough time to bring it to the end but I can say that most important things were working well.

    Hello,

    Just thought I would add that Windows 8 Pro (yes the full version) has been released to Microsoft Partners weeks ago.
    I have been using it and I made use of some of the Windows 8 Beta drivers available on [this|http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=3380646& rpn=PSPLXU&modelFilter=X870-BT2G23&selCategory=2756709&selFamily=804517] link

  • 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.

    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

  • Qosmio X300-11S - Cant get 1080p @ 60 Hz to work

    I have a Qosmio X300-11S and no matter how much I try I can't get 1080p to work at 60hz.
    In fact that timing isn't even available. I can only chose 24p or 30p on my Full-HD displays even though they support 50/60hz.
    I have the latest drivers installed for my 9700M GTS so I'm lost. I am almost certain that it has worked before.
    What might be the problem?

    Hey,
    Wait a moment, buddy.
    If you connect your X300 to an external monitor via HDMI cable I would recommend connecting the cable first. Then power on the monitor or TV and select the correct input channel. At last power on the notebook and normally it should recognize the HDMI connection automatically.
    If not you can use FN+F5 key combination to switch between the monitors.
    Furthermore the latest display drivers from Toshiba should work because they are pretested so I would recommend this driver.
