Qosmio x300-15u: device manager shows 1x 9800M GTS and 1x 9400M

Hi.
I have a Qosmio x300-15u and i have noticed in device manager it only shows 1x 9800m gts and 1x 9400m!!!
Is it right that i should have 2x 9800gts cards showing?
The spec for this machine should have 2x 9800 cards sli (whatever that means) So a total of 1GB video ram.
I'm sure im not getting the full performance of my laptop.
When i go into nvidia control panel it does not say anything about sli.
Btw; I am not running vista anymore.....
i now run windows 7 ultimate 64.
Please help me .
Thanks

Are you using the Display Drivers supplied by Toshiba on the Toshiba Website? Or are you using the nVidia supplied ones?

  • Qosmio X300-13W - Is SLI enabled on 9800M GTS?

    Hi,
    I am just wondering does anybody has a problem using SLI in X300-13W? On NVIDIA setting, it says "enable" but when i used PC Wizard 2008 for system information it says "disable".
    I cant really update the latest NVIDIA driver because it doesnt recognise it. Possibly not supported.
    I also found out that, my chipset is from NVIDIA. I am just wondering may be the chipset driver is not installed probably or something... i really dont know.
    Thanks

    Hi all, i have installed the latest Beta drivers from Nvidia, but you have to modify them a little, as they are not recognized, because Toshiba has the drivers listed under them. Nvidia does not step on the toes of dealers that use their drivers. The hybryd set up, which is what we have in our systems, uses Phy*** and also uses the on board 9400M gpu for when on battery , to save power. SLI is enabled by playing in your power settings reachable by the screen saver set up. Set it up when plugged in on battery to everything max. Also, because this is a hybrid set up, Pcwizard, and most other programs do not recognise it, and list it falsely as something else, trust the Nvidia. It is running SLI.
    The beta mobile drivers as stated by "OnkelM" can be used, however you have to change a file in them so it recognizes your system. I have been using these drivers now for a month with no problems at all.
    Go to laptopvideo2go.com and do a seacrh for the driver number you want to use, then get the modified inf file you need for it, extract the drivers to your desktop, then add in the modifeid file, overwrite and voila, your good to go.
    The driver for hybrids is 179.48, after you download it, click on the link there that says modded inf, download that, and then replace it in your driver folder you just downloaded.
    Hope this helped, good luck,

  • HT5628 After running bootcamp, DVD drive is detected by Windows 8. But after installing drivers, no longer can detect. Device Manager shows that DVD drive is unplugged! Drivers in Bootcamp "removed" the DVD drive!

    After running bootcamp, DVD drive is detected by Windows 8. But after installing drivers, no longer can detect. Device Manager shows that DVD drive is unplugged! Drivers in Bootcamp “removed” the DVD drive. I think there is an issue because I reinstalled Windows 8. If I don't install driver, then I have reduced functionality (no Apple keyboard, no sound etc), but once I install driver, I lose my DVD drive.

    Hi, guys, I have had the exact same problem since the summer of 2010. Here's what I was able to find out.
    Deleting upper/lower filters, running all those Fix Ya programs and other Microsoft crap is useless. This problem is most certainly has nothing to do with registry of any software on your computer. I took my HP 9620us to a couple of repair places and, they tried a lot of things and it appears that the root of this problem is a faulty motherboard connection. Of course, it costs about 400 bucks to fix it so I'm not sure I want to pay this kind of money.
    Anyway, if somebody was able to fix it PLEASE post here to let us know. Again I am 99 per cent sure it's some piece of hardware in the motherboard.

  • My DVD drive not reading DVDs, but can read some DVDs with data on it. Device manager shows no error

    My DVD drive not reading DVDs, but can read some DVDs with data on it. Device manager shows no errors.
    I tried to reinstall driver.
    I downloaded new codec
    I tried Microsoft FIX IT
     Nothing worked.

    Thank you!!

    Hi Albos, This is a known problem. These superdrives die after a while. See the various threads on this site and the internet. I have the same problem with my Imac 20" 2.16 ghz. Just wants to burn and read cd's. Its has to do with the laser. For DVD an CD are two different laser and the one for DVD's has probably died in yours (as it did in mine). I bought an external LG burner and problem solved. (And a lot cheaper than replacing the superdrive)
    Hope this helps you.

  • Qosmio X300-15U - Product key for Windows 7 upgrade disk

    Hello All,
    firts post here :)
    I have a Qosmio X300 15U, and just bought DVD upgrade for the OS: from Vista64 to Win 7 (home premium).
    I got it by Toshiba Winodws 7 upgrade site.
    I installed the upgrade and it's working fine, so far.
    Only possible problem for the future, is that I cannot seem to find the Windows 7 product key label attached on the DVD paper case (probably lost it)
    I have the DVD (for other serials, or so...)
    Does anybody know if it's possible to make Toshiba support, send my old Windows 7 product Key or a new one (just in case of reinstall...)
    It also appears that Microsoft has validated my install through their Tool (WGA, I think)
    Do I need to revert to MS (paid) assistance, for such a (simple, to me) case?
    Hope Not.
    Thanks a lot.
    Bye,
    Diego

    I don't know if Toshiba can send you a new productkey-label, you should call the helpdesk. But to find your productkey you need a key finder tool.
    Try [this link|http://pcsupport.about.com/od/productkeysactivation/tp/topkeyfinder.htm] for a list of those programs.

  • Important: chipset Firewire in Qosmio X300-15u Laptop

    Hi, sorry for my bad english,
    I'm interested in purchasing TC ELECTRONIC FIREWARE KONNEKT 6 for my laptop *Qosmio X300-15u* for audio production in my home recording studio.
    I would like to know if anyone can tell me who the manufacturer of the onboard firewire chipset is? Texas Instruments (TI), Ricoh, other?
    before buying the sound card I want to be sure that the chipset is not Ricoh, this chipset seems to have many problems of latency
    Any help is appreciated.
    best regards
    Valerio

    Ok I checked it, and corresponds to JMicron...
    now i try to see if my sound card will work fine, otherwise I'll buy a Texas Instruments firewire using the Express Card slot....
    Surely on this machine, so expensive, I would expect that Toshiba, installed a good firewire card, because jmicron is not so good...
    If I buy a computer that should be almost in the multimedia technology, certainly with that card I can not handle the audio properly. A Firewire card shouldn't work shared ... this is a serious flaw.
    My previous computer was a Sony Vaio, paid less than my Toshiba, but, it had a Texas Instruments firewire card.
    I was very disappointed by this unpleasant surprise.
    best regards
    Valerio

  • Windows Device Manager shows several driver problems

    I have the latest EFI Firmware update and Boot Camp 1.1.1. Windows XP Pro SP2 shows problems in the Device Manager.
    (1) What's the USB Human Interface problem? I have no funny USB devices connected.
    (2) What's with the yellow question mark at Base System Device?
    (3) I have four PCI Express ports flagged with problems.
    I'm guessing that the Boot Camp Driver CD has omitted to provide for these devices. I am surmising that many others who have the Mac Pro also see these problems.
    Is there any way of dealing with these and fixing the problems? Like, can I download the required drivers from Intel? I have already downloaded and installed INF Update Utility [INFINST_AUTO.EXE] version 2.11.15.0. This was no help in resolving the problem.

    I too have had issue with Bluetooth keyboard, specifically the Apple keyboard. It seems to be running ok at the moment but it took me a while for it to pair properly. I still have no idea as to what I did differently that made it work. I think it was pairing them without a code.
    Fortunately for me I use Parallels mostly as it's far more convenient so I'm not too bothered about Boot Camp driver support at this moment. When it comes time to play some games though that'll probably change.
    The thing with Boot Camp is to be a little patient. Yes we'd like Apple to have sorted everything out a month ago although the software is still in beta form and does not need to be finalised until the realese of Leopard. Hopefully they will get things together sooner rather than later given the clock is ticking.

  • Playbook is faling to communicate using Desktop SW but BB Device Manager Shows PB as connected

    I'm running the Playbook OS 2.0.1.358 and Desktop SW 7.1.0.32 on Windows 7.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled DTSW.  I've tried 3 different USB cables.   The Blackberry Device Manager sees the playbook and shows it as connected.  
    It's the DTSW that says it canot "communicate" with the device.   I've tried to run the Update that it offers to install, but that fails too.
    This was working a month ago.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

    Already had done that.  The weird thing here is that the BB Device Manager in the system tray has no problem seeing the PB.
    Also, am I missing something or is USB the only support for PB?  In the DTSW Bluetooth Configuration, it says that "this version of BB Desktop SW doesn't Support Bluetooth connections with BlackBerry Playbook tablets." 
    Bluetooth Bridge with my Torch is working great.

  • Device manager shows device but installation CD can't find a Creative prod

    Well, I suppose that the title of this thread says it all. My device manager recognizes the Creative product I have in one of the PCI slots, but when I insert the CD to install all of the programs I get an error message that reads "can't find a creative labs product on the system". Why would the computer be able to detect the device but not the CD? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the device but that doesn't help.
    The kicker is, my sound card worked just fine two weeks ago and I've not changed anything in the system.
    I did a search on this topic and other people have run into the same problem but there weren't any solutions posted. I'd really appreciate ANY help as this is a VERY frustrating problem.

    this is the glitch I think I had when I installed my XFI Platinum. I followed the instructions by loading all the hardware BEFORE loading any software. So now the card and the bay are installed and I boot up. The instructions tell you to cancel installing hardware at this point. The instructions say to put the CD in and install the software. Like I usually do I do a Custom install. Incidentely it only leaves out a few software options like the Volume Panel and some other stuff I didnt feel I would want. So when I put the disk in the first of 4 items as I remember it was the XFI software which is the mode changer and panel software and more. This is where I got the message you got so I skipped to the next item to install.
    I loaded the next item which was I think the media player and then I didnt load the next 2 because I didnt want them. AOl on my desktop and something else.
    So I figured it may have loaded drivers at this point but not the software because the card officially was in the system yet. So I rebooted.
    When it rebooted It detected the Card and a couple of other devices I think at this point.
    So obviously I figured that now the software would load since the card was officially recognized. I put the CD in and selected the first option and it then loaded the XFI software.
    Yea this is the one thing I found in the installation as a little confusing and not documented.
    Maybe this will help you.Message Edited by Crashman on 05-25-2006 2:3 AM

  • [Athlon64] Device Manager shows "Other devices: ?(!) RAID Controller"

    (This was previously posted to the Operating Systems forum, when I realized it's not really a Windows problem)
    In my Windows XP Device Manager, under Other devices, I see ?(!) RAID Controller.
    I don't have a RAID controller, and my Serial ATA hard drives are connected to the SATA VIA ports. I've been told that this can be toggled in the BIOS. Now, this started happening after I flashed to BIOS 2.0, and the BIOS isn't exactly straight forward to me. Therefore, I'm having trouble finding that option.
    Has anybody had a simliar problem? Any ideas?

    === PROBLEM RESOLVED ===
    The two BIOS Default options I have are "Load High Performance Options" and "Load BIOS Setup Options". I chose "High Performance". It was somewhat a two-part procedure.
    I entered the BIOS Options, and then Boot Sequence. The available options were: Floppy, CD, or BBS(0) RealTek Boot Agent, but not the Serial ATA hard drives. So I set the Sequence as 1) Floppy, 2) CD, 3) N/A, and 4) Check for other devices: Yes.
    I rebooted, and it located the Serial ATA drives and proceeded to the RealTek Boot Agent anyway. I bypassed the Agent by pushing ESC. I entered Windows XP to find that, under Device Manager's SCSI & RAID Controllers, I had one entry: VIA Serial ATA RAID Controller, and no other entries. As of now, Device Manager lists a perfect hardware record.
    Now to correct the Boot Sequence. I restarted and re-entered BIOS. I entered Boot Sequence again to find that my Serial ATA drives are now selectable. I changed the Sequence to 1) Floppy, 2) CD, 3) BBS(0) SATA Maxtor, and 4) Check for other devices: No.
    Now my system bootup behaves as it should. No lengthy IDE device check and no RealTek boot agent check. Windows XP is also in check! :-)
    This was kind of tricky. This doesn't appear to me to be a widespread problem, but I think we oughta put this in a sticky or something. I wanted to say thanks to everybody who contributed to this thread for their help! I'm going to document this fix. LOL

  • Satellite L550-11K - Device manager shows wrong CPU

    I have bought the Satellite L550-11K to myself and because stan it has a p8700 processor with 2.53 GHz. However, in the device manager it stands 2 times a T4200 processor with 2 GHz!!!?

    Hey,
    I had the same issue that the CPU in my desktop computer wasnt listed properly so I have removed the CPU from device manager (right click > uninstall) and restart the notebook. You have to remove both entries.
    After restarting the CPU will be recognized again and this time it should be listed properly. For me it worked. :)
    Another question, are you running the preinstalled OS or have you installed another OS?

  • Qosmio X300-15U - Shuts down randomly

    Hi
    Ive had my laptop for about 5 months now (x300 15u). For a while now my laptop shuts down randomly. Sometimes when just surfing the net, but I notice it seems to happen more when I start a game.
    When i power up the laptop again, it will sometimes shut down 3 or 4 times before it even gets to the log on screen! Then all of a sudden, it will boot up as normal.
    At first I thought it was a overheating problem because it mainly happened when I started to play a game. But then later on I realised it could not be that which was causing these random shutdowns, as it sometimes does it like I say when just surfing etc. I also always have my laptop on a laptop pad that raises the laptop so the air can circulate ok. Also when I plug the laptop in to AC power while laptop is on. It freezes totally and I have to to a hard power down.
    2 very annoying problems, and a laptop that cost me 1400...so I'm not very happy.
    Just for the record. I'm running windows 7 64bit and my drivers are up to date. Quad processors. Nvidia 9800gts.
    Im hoping you guys may have some advice for me.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hey,
    I agree with the user above. Normally the notebook shuts down itself due a higher internal temperature. Maybe the dust is blocking the air circulation.
    In my opinion you should clean the notebook by using compressed air spray. This could blow out the dust from the cooling ventilators. Therefore check this interesting article:

  • Qosmio X300-16D - thermal pad/paste solution for CPU and Nvidia MCP

    Can anyone suggest a good (specific) thermal solution for the Qosmio X300-16D CPU and Nvidia MCP?
    I ask because there is a slight complication with the 16D (an SLI setup)... the heatsink for the CPU and Nvidia MCP are connected in the same thermal module, but while the CPU heatsink is screwed down, the Nvidia MCP chip is not - so there is a large gap between that chip and the heatsink.
    I'm guessing some form of thermal pad should be used here rather than grease/paste? Does anybody know what thermal pad has been used by Toshiba for this, or point me to a high quality replacement that is suitable to be used?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Hi
    As far as I know the thermal grease 776 (part num: K000055600) could be used.
    But there are different cooling pends as mentioned by Akuma.
    There is an thermal fan 1 for DUAL-VGA (K000061940) and thermal fan 2 for dual VGA (K000061950) as well.
    I assume both are for SLI configuration.
    There are also some other cooling modules for VGA (VGA THERMAL MODULE-1-GT-NB9E K000065560 and VGA THERMAL MODULE-2-NB9E-W/O TMA K000065560)
    You can google for these part numbers Found all in internet

  • T510 - Device Manager showing multiple Display Adapters

    I recently started experiencing a problem with a Java application locking up when moving windows from the laptop screen to an external monitor.  One of the things we discovered during troubleshooting is that I am showing 2 Display Adapters:
    Intel(R) HD Graphics - running the Laptop Screen
    NVIDIA NVS 3100M - running the external Screen
    Is this correct?  I now also know why when using the NVIDIA Control Center it only shows the one monitor.

    I'm not joking.
    In BIOS (press F1 key when you see turn on the computer and see the Thinkpad screen) you can select the different graphics mode of the machine.  As you are keenly aware, the machine does have 2 graphics processors.
    Under Display:
    Selecting the Integrated option in BIOS shuts off the nVIDIA graphics card and uses the lower power Intel graphics 3000 on the CPU.  This limits graphics performance, but allows for longer battery operation and full CPU speed on battery. 
    Selecting the Discrete option in BIOS forces the system to use the nVIDIA card.  This improves graphics performance, allows you to use multiple monitors, but decreases CPU performance while using battery and reduces battery life.
    Selcting Optimus allows software or the user to determine which graphics processor to use "on the fly" so that power budget and GPU performance are balanced for the workload.
    Enjoy!

    No monitor and no external.
    Now I am really stuck.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Ideas? About what? What have you done wrong with your notebook? I mean how we can offer some virtual diagnostic?
    Please dont understand me wrong but are you authorized and certified technician?
    If you do all this as hobby I dont think we can help you with this. Either you will be lucky and this works or .... simply bad luck. Something is obviously not done correctly.
    Have you obtained brand new parts or already used parts?
