Qosmio X300 - Black faded screen if I boot up

Hello
I recently purchase a Toshiba Qosmio X300-13O. I run before a week the system restore and I install all the drivers. As a result the laptop created a problem, every time I try to boot up a black faded screen apears and then the laptop restarts. Also the iluminted hot keys do not work.
Please help me solve this issue.
Regard, Aris

Thank you for your help. It was quite useful but it didn't give any results. The good news is that i found the wrong install driver, I tried to uninstall it from safe mode and from normal windows but it didn't allow me to do this. An error message appeared saying that the driver didn't install correctly and i don't have any permission to do that. My opinion is to return windows again in factory settings but i don't want to format my HDD because i am a student and i have a lot of work to back up and restore. If you have more advice to give me that it could be very useful. Thank you again for your help.
Regards Aris

  • My iBook G4 only goes to a black 'Darwin' screen when it boots up. How do I get it to boot up normally again?

    Last night, my iBook G4 started showing odd glitches on the screen. When I restarted it, there was a file with a blinking question mark, so I consulted the manual and it said to shut down, hold 'Option' and turn on the computer, then click the hard disk icon and then the rightward arrow. When I did these things, it led me to a black screen where something called 'Darwin' asked me for my login and password. I managed to restart from the OSX install disc and repair the hard disk volume that way, but the black 'Darwin' screen shows up every time I turn the laptop on! What should I do to get it back to normal? My iBook G4 has OSX 4.11 installed, and I bought it refurbished in June 2005.

    Thank you so much for replying; unfortunately, my screen had already gone gray by the time I read your reply and I had to take in to the Genius Bar. My laptop's up and running, but the main problem is still unknown and I'll have to buy a new one soon. Thanks again!

  • Qosmio X300-13O - Black screen on startup

    Hi, I have a problem with my Qosmio X300-13O.
    When I turn on the computer the screen is black, I can hear the windows starting up but I can't see a thing. I've figured that when I remove the battery and plug in the power cable the computer works fine. So my question is: Is it a batterys fault or computer fault?
    How can I fix it (working without battery doesn't count)?
    I'l add that i still have a warranty (I bought my X300 on may this year).

    Hi buddy,
    Have you tried an external monitor on the notebook? Maybe the internal display is faulty and so you can work with an external monitor.
    However, for me it sounds like a hardware issue and I think the internal display should be replaced but an authorized service provider (technician) can check this and exchange the hardware.
    If your notebook is under warranty, the repair should be for free! :)

  • HP DV4-1155SE Black Screen and Wont Boot. Please Help!

    Hello all I am working on an Hp DV4-1155SE. I have tested the memory modules, the hard drive and everything else that I can take out of the computer easily. Everything works but!, The laptop will not boot into the bios or anything else. Black screen, wont boot and i have the bios file that HP supplies on the support page of the site. I have looked at the instructions that a few people have posted about re flashing the bios and that does not seem to help me at all with this AMD processor. If anyone can please offer any help at all this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!

    I will search on int 19h....thanks.
    My problem started before the bios-screen.
    This is what I tried this evening:
    - Disconnected all non-essential devices...no effect.
    - Cleared the CMOS...system booted to OS!    Screens still garbled! 
    - Put in an older graphics-card...No artifacts! 
    - Put my MSI NX6600GT (AGP) back in...screen grabled while booting. Once in OS everything
      looks fine at first. Later I noticed some odd random pixels. Playing movies is working fine.
      Playing 3D games results in all kinds of strange looking artifacts.
    - Installed the latest NVidia- drivers...no effect.
    Is my problem still MOBO related or Graphics Adapter?
    Any further advice?
    Thanks!

  • Boot Camp on Snow Leopard can't install Windows-Stuck on black BIOS screen

    I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on an early 2008 Mac Pro (dual 3.2Ghz Harperton CPU's, 10gb RAM) with Boot Camp version 3.0.4 (all updated). I've successfully had a Boot Camp partition in the past, running WindowsXP32 Bit. I just purchased Windows7 Professional and can't install either the 32bit or 64 bit version. Neither can I install any of my original Windows disc. Boot Camp successfully creates the partion, then asks me to install the Windows install DVD/CD which I do, and then when it reboots, it gets stuck in a black BIOS screen that says "Initializing..."
    I've tried all my Windows discs: WindowsXP-32bit, Vista-32Bit, Vista-64Bit, Windows7-32Bit, Windows7-64Bit. Same problem...gets hung on the black BIOS screen. I disconnected all my USB hardware except for my keyboard/mouse. All my other internal drives are disconnected.
    The only thing that I can think of is that is different is my MacHD is a 500GB Seagate MomentusXT solid state hybrid drive.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!!!!
    Thanks

    Hi fellow Mac buddie,
    I just zapped the PRAM, and also reset the SMC switch on the mother board.....no luck.
    In refenece to the hybrid SSD drive, I've already taken that one out, put in a fresh 3.5" drive, formatted and installed  a fresh clean version of Lion OS, and then attempted the Boot Camp install using Lion with the newest Boot Camp version (3.1 or 3.2) Please see my original post above.
    Same issue, black BIOS screen.
    Also tried Boot Camp Windows install on a second drive in drive bay 2 (an option now in Lion's Boot Camp)
    same issue, black BIOS screen.
    Lastly, I've tried all these interations using my three different Windows install disks (XP, Vista, Windows7).
    XP is a "full install" disk, Vista and Windows7 are upgrade disks. But I've had XP installed previously using Boot Camp with no problem. So I'm confused I can't even install XP.
    As another option, I went to a friend who has a PC, and I installed Windows 7 on a new hard drive. I'm about to install that in drive bay 2, reboot while holding down "option", and see if I can boot directly into that disk.
    That's a workaround, as is VMWare Fusion which I have and Windows7 works fine as a virtual machine.
    But when something doesn't work the way it's supposed to (in this case Boot Camp), it bugs me makes me want to know why it doesn't. I'll report back with regard to the 2nd bay Windows7 hard drive install.

  • Dead pixel on my Qosmio X300 screen

    Hello
    I have a problem that happened today.
    My laptop was fine yesterday. I took it up in its bag, Went with it to the college and I switched on on and I found a dead pixel - Not just one tiny one. it is a small one, about 3 x 3 square on
    1440 x 900 resolution - on the screen. I don't know how it came or what does cause it in first place ?
    I tried to press on it gently many times and then, it was moved to another place. I did that again and It was moved again. I try now, but with no avail. I am really annoyed because I am not buying a quality laptop for such defects, although there is a range of maximum 8 pixel defect that should happened so I am eligible to change the screen. The problem it it annoys me. And I can't find a way to fix it. My laptop is just 7 months old. It is a Qosmio X300-158.
    What could I do ?
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks for your reply.
    I will try to visit them in the nearest time. Well in my case, if I considered that that is not dust and these are dead pixels, then there are 16 pixels of them. I counted them one by one, which is enough to entitle me to replace that monitor. However, I won't complicate things. There is also another problem that I can't leave my laptop for more than 1 day. All my work, designs and assignment are in it. I hope that can be fixed in less than 1 day.
    I think that of it is dust, that shall not take more than 2 hours to fix it, but who knows. I really need to take to them first. !

  • IPod stuck on black reboot screen and won't boot up

    I realize I made a mistake now. I went to Disk Utility and formatted my iPod for UNIX file system. I wanted to be able to plug it into a Linux machine and copy some files over.
    Now the iPod is stuck on the black reboot screen with the dim Apple logo. I can hear the hard drive in it attempting to boot up every few seconds.
    I can't get iTunes to see the iPod when I plug it in the dock. I can't even get my Mac to see the iPod now.
    Any suggestions on how I can Restore it? Or did I kill my poor iPod?

    I think I found the solution:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61584
    Your suggestion is correct but I have to have it in Disk Mode first before I can format it back to HFS+ and then Restore.

    This is a build working perfectly for over a year.. well one day my mom turned off the computer when I got home it wouldn't boot I disconnected/reseated everything and was able to figure out if I didn't have my dvd drive hooked up it will boot perfectly fine. I should note that the drive shows up fine in the bios and that with a pata hard drive it will load windows fine.
    I've tried 2 pata drives and 1 sata drive all working/tested in other machines .. and it stops at the same exact spot every time right after the bios and before the Windows logo would normally pop up it will just sit on a black/blank screen forever. I have never heard of a issue like this where it wasnt the ide channel going bad or the drive itself but since a harddrive on the ide channel works i assume its good.
    I didnt know if i should post this in the windows 7 64bit forum or this but im leaning towards motherboard as the issue because it still freezes at same exact spot even with no hard drives connected , so I couldnt boot anything from the dvd-drive. I'm also thinking its the mobo because i had it repaired a year ago, see my old thread here

    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 X300-13R - After few seconds the image darkens on webcam

    We have laptop Toshiba Qosmio-X300-13R with the chamber built in webcamera. But there is a question.
    I start the native utility or Skype, the first seconds all is visible, and then the image darkens and looks narrowly in the monitor that like it is visible my silhouette. If I apply different options, it does not occur. It is necessary to press the button to apply, the chamber again for 5-10 seconds shows brightly and is light. And then again on 95 % darkness... Deleted native driver, Windows Vista puts built in, and in Skype that does not vary. And with native drivers, in the utility (Camera Assistant Software for Toshiba) and in Skype.
    What is such and how it to win?
    P.S. On how many I have understood, the built in chamber of firm Chicony.

    I had the same problem. . . fortunately I have a solution =)
    After you've opened your webcam application like yahoo webcam and the screen goes black, what I do is I open the Toshiba camera assistant software utility and click properties
    From there click backlit compensation and night mode. The screen would black out again after an hour or so, when that happens repeat the process, if the night mode is already checked, uncheck, and then check again then click ok when the screen comes to.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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.

  • Qosmio X300-14V - Crashes while playing games

    Hello ! I have some problems with my Toshiba Qosmio X300 14V. While I'm playing games installed on the computer it "crushes". The screen goes black and the speakers start buzzing.
    I noticed that if i reinstall teh windows, driverers and directX it won't happen for some time. I also have to mention that it doesn't happen with ALL the games. It mostly happenst to games that require higher performance of teh computer; games like Just Cause 2, Neef For Speed Hot Pursuit, Fallout New Vegas. In one case it happened to a pretty old game, Shadows Ground Survivor.
    If anyone can find any reasonable explination please help me. Thanks in advance.
    P.S. About 4-5 months ago my HDD crushed, so I bought a new one and installed win 7. At that time I was using win vista home premium x32 with the drivers that were included in the recovery pack. Before the new HDD I had no problems with the computer. Apart from some occasionally crushing because of ovearheating because the venting channels were filled with dust.

    Hi donrumata_1,
    Maybe the notebook crashes due overheating?! Have you already tried to clean your notebook with compressed air spray?
    This can blow out the dust from cooling ventilators and takes only few minutes. Furthermore its not necessary to disassemble the notebook so its very easy and not complicated.
    => [How to clean the cooling system of a Toshiba notebook|http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD7A01ZZ000AR01.htm]
    From my own experience I can say its very useful and I do it every 3 months. So the notebook is much cooler and more silent because the fan doesnt run so often anymore.

  • Satellite X300 PQX31A - Blue screen appears for non apparent reason

    Hi,
    I have had my Qosmio X300 for 2 months with no problems till now. I got some random blue screens so checked the driver site and found the Bios update 1.60.
    I installed this now the blue screen thing is happening every time I push the machine hard. It does not seem to be getting hot but when I tried the ntune utility to find temps this made it blue screen every time.
    I am starting to get a little lost how to diagnose this.
    I cannot find the 1.50 bios to downgrade to.
    The blue screens are IRQL, Page Fault ect. Seems to be in Adobe CS4, Matlab and ntune i.e. anything which tried to access the mainboard or pushes hard.
    I have not installed before the first series of crashes.
    Any further thoughts?
    Cheers,
    Lost

    Hi,
    The bios is now 1.60 from 1.50 wich did not resolve the issue. There are no new display dirvers for this model. Sorry I can not remember the BSOD codes and currently dont have the laptop as I have sent it back to Toshiba. I suspect bad memory.
    Cheers,
