Qosmio X305-Q701 - Black Screen and sound loop while gaming
Hi,
My Qosmio X305-Q701 has recently started crashing while playing any games. Never had a problem out of it until the past month. All games now from WoW and F.E.A.R. to solitare. It will just randomly go to a black screen and the last sound byte while loop over and over requiring a hard reboot.
Graphics card is Nvidia geforce 9700m gts series.
All drivers and directx is up to date running windows vista. I am not very tech savy so any help or expierence with this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
I have the exacrt same issues, and have had them for some time. I tried all the software solutions, and mechanical solutions that I could perform myself ( cleaning the airflow vents, and cooling fan ) Nothing has worked. Sad thing is, no real solutions are ever given to this, so let me lay it down like this. The video card is a P.O.S. and is at fault. Only way to fix it is to replace it. Preferably with one equivelant, but from a different manufacturer. In all honesty, this is the worst computer I've ever owned. Even sadder is its the most expensive one I've ever bought. I've tried for help through the place I bought it ( Best Buy, which I am having my own difficulties dealing with ) and Toshiba support as well. No one has offered an explanation as to why this model isn't recalled, and or replaced because its a lemon. Good luck in getting it fixed. My own solution is to cut my losses, get a new computer ( which will never be a Toshiba again ) and chalk it up as lesson learned.

Macbook shutdown / freeze black screen and sound loop
Hello !
For a few months now my macbook pro 2010 shuts down automatically after some times of working (sometime 2 minutes ... sometimes 2 hours !)
Black screen
If a sound was played, it looped
Keyboard keep being lightened
My macbook seems to freeze ... the only solution is to shutdown by pressing a loing time the shutdown button.
My battery is brand new and the harddrive is ok (bought less than 1 year ago).
Here is the report I've automatically got when I relaunch.
Can someone explain me what the **** is happening ?
Thanks a lot !

com.apple.iokit.IOACPIFamily 1.4Mid-2010 15" MacBook Pros - the bad NVIDIA GPU
If you're having frequent kernel panics with your 15" mid-2010, or intermittent screen problems, the problem is, more than likely, the faulty NVIDIA GPU found in a number of those machines.
Here's just a sample of a kernel panic log that points to the faulty NVIDIA card:

Here's the "official" Apple take on the issue - but the very real kernel panics need not be preceded by 'Intermittent black screen or loss of video'... in fact, you might not experience any video problems at all. Although video problems can certainly be a portent of things to come…
So what can you do? Print out a copy of your kernel panic and a copy of the Knowledge Base article and take them, along with your machine, to your local Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. The unfortunate thing is that many people have passed the “three years from date of purchase” now and Apple is not honoring the free logic board replacement for many users. Some dealers seem to be making some exceptions for those past the three year mark, but don’t count on it…
Good luck,

Black screen then sound loops on cq5320y
System specs.
Athlon 2 x4 640
4 gig memory
HP motherboard cq5320y
Corsair 500 w power supply
500 gig HD
HD 6670 video card
The issue I am having is upon playing world of tanks anywhere from 5 minutes to 2 hours I will get a black screen and the sound will loop. The monitor will says it is going to sleep. The only fix is a power off/on. This sometimes gets courpt files then have to run chdsk. So it does have most recent drivers and I have tried so old ones with the same effect. Today daughter was playing an online(facebook) game and same thing happen. So I put back in my first video card hd 4550 that used to not have this issue. Then started playing WOT and again got black screen and sound loop. So I am not thinking it is an video card issue since it happens with both video cards. Power supply voltage checked out okay by meter. So not sure where to go with this issue.
Only thing I am think is the ps is over power the video card through the old motherboard????
Any other ideassirdano wrote:

That is not very likely. The power to the video card is regulated by power circuits on the motherboard.
Any other ideas
Which OS is installed and which type is it?
When was the last time you went to the command line and used the system file checker? sfc /scannow
Have you refreshed the swap file recently?
How about your temp\tmp folder?
What are you using for an active antivirus\malware solution?
Which JRE are you using? Are you sure it is the most stable version?
Are you certain this is not a temperature related issue?
Best regards,

Computer crashes and sound loops while playing a game
My problem is similar some others i have seen in this forum and others. I have been struggling with this issues since i made the computer. The problem is while playing counter-strike after around 30 min to 2 hours the screen freezes and the sound loops and then the monitor turns off and the computer restarts. I have made possible attempts to fix the problem starting with buying a thermal take volcana for my cpu and a artic cooler for my video card. I also have my cpu underclocked from a 3200 to a 2500 i found that helps delay the problem a bit(i think anyway). I have 4 fans in my case also. I also thought it might be the onboard sound so i bought a logitec usp headset but that didn't fix the problem so i recently bought a sound blaster live 5.1 ls. I have also switch powersupplys though both were around 350-400 watts.
Any help or feedback it greatly appreciated.
my specs are:
MSI 9800 pro
K7N2 Delta-L
Athlon 3200+(underclocked to 2500)
Soundblaster Live 5.1 ls
1 stick of 512 mb Ultra
350 watts not sure of the company came with the X-Dreamer II case
hp cd-burner
Thanks for taking your time to read this any help/suggestions would be greatWhat are the max amps on 3 rails of your PSU what slot is your sound card in? Can you list your IRQ's? Run Memtest
cheers -
All my downloaded (digital copies from dvds) won't play in itunes. I get a black screen and no sound, but the time keeps moving. How do i fix this?
Hi 22chill,
I recommend that we delete and re-download the movie from your purchase history:

Hi,
I would really appreciate some advice. I've been troubleshooting this problem without success,
Problem:
Playing games on steam*, at some point, sometimes 5 minutes in, sometimes 2 hours in:
- Screen goes blank,
- last sound loops continuously,
- computer completely unresponsive, requires hard shut down
- On restart I get almost the same report every time, though sometimes it referes to CPU 0 and sometimes CPU 2, a sample:

What I have tried:
- updating steam and OS X
- closing all apps besides steam
- disabling Vsync in the games
- running games in very low quality
- updating to latest flash beta (steam uses flash for in-app advertising)
- reinstall steam and redownload and reinstall games
- verify and repair disk within OS
- SMART check, RAM test, Video memory test with TechTool Pro, all Pass
- removing peripherals ie. Microsoft bluetooth mouse
- hardware test with OS X install DVD on reboot, detects no problems
- stressing the GPU doing intensive 3D effects in Adobe After Effects, no crash
- stressing GPU using CINEBENCH, no crash
- monitoring temp with Temperature Monitor, Last crash GPU was at around 80 and CPU at around 85

- Machine is still under 1 yr warranty
- I'm overseas studying design and I really cant afford to to take it in and not have a machine for 2 weeks. I'd really like to exhaust all options before taking it in. I'm also worrying that they will run the hardware test as I did and tell me: no problems found.I'm so ****** off that it's been weeks and no solution has been provided for this. In the middle of video editing, watching quicktime videos, youtube, or playing any games the computer hard freezes with a black screen and looping audio of about 1/2 second.
FIX IT! -
Qosmio X300 11S, Black Screen.
I have had this laptop for 2 years, besides quite a few overheating problems it has performed well.
In November last year i noticed my games where once again very laggy, a sign i interpreted as time for a full clean, so i sent it off for a service.
The game i mostly play is World of Warcraft, after i received my laptop back from the service i logged into world of Warcraft and played for an hour or so and got my very first black screen, sound was looping, mouse and keyboard unresponsive. It took me at least 5 minutes to shut it down via the power button.
The black screens/crashes just kept happening i checked i had all the latest drivers installed, so i tried rolling them back but the crashes just kept coming. Where as when they first started i could get a couple of hours between them, it was now minutes at best.
To finally rule out a soft wear problem/corrupt file i decided to reinstall windows, after reinstalling windows updating windows drivers etc i then reinstalled wow however it lasted only a few seconds before the black screen/ crash happened again.
So i wiped the hard drive again, this time i have installed nothing but the windows disks, so my laptop is just like it was the day it came out of the box, and i still cant play any game like solitaire with out this black screen/crash happening.
I have an extended warrantee but they refuse to look at it as its a soft wear issue according to there under righters. Any body have any idea ?so i sent it off for a service.
What did they do? How did they service it?
They just take it apart check the fans are working correctly and give it a clean, removing the dust from the fans and the heat sink..
Did you actually reinstall clean windows versions by truly formatting the hard drive and reinstalling windows and drivers from scratch?
I have the recovery disks i made myself , I boot it and recover it from them.
If you reinstall windows 7 it will create a 100 mb partition and keep the old system files and others in windows old folder, have a look here it might help.
I have windows vista installed and there is a separate partition.
Prior to contacting my extended warrantee, i tried to rule out a soft wear issue. I even made a call to Toshiba Tech support the person i spoke to did a link up to my laptop, as i had mentioned the vista games also caused this crash he had a game of solitaire. This did as i expected, cause me to receive a black screen/ crash. However the person at the other end told me over the phone that when this happened, on his computer it showed my mem and CPU where both running at 100% just prior to seeing the black screen and being disconnected. So i do believe your guess of something being overloaded is correct i just need to be able to prove it. -
Ipod touch 2G is black screen and won't restore in Itunes (error 21)
I have aquired an Ipod touch 2g 16g that I was hoping to make a present to my daughter with. The device is I guess what is called "Black Screen of Death". I can't get any image to display on the Ipod when trying to charge (which it apparenlty accepts) the item or when trying to connect it to Itunes. Itunes recongizes the item in recovery mode, and attempts to restore the item and consistantly gives the error 21 message. I am using Windows 7 and have tried to restore the device on a laptop running Win XP with the exact same results. The screen will turn white during the process, and the machine will from what I have read and believe go into DFU mode, but it stops with error 21. I am a Noob and have googled and googled for a week now with no luck. I have tried the reinstallation of Itunes, all the updates to both Itunes and the machine, no security software, the works. I tried connecting it to older son's laptop running Win 7 which he uses for his Ipod 2g 32 gig without problems. My device was recognized on his machine, and he said on his Itunes he briefly saw songs on the device he did not have on his machine/device in his library before it hung again in the recovery mode loop. I have read different articles and tutorials on jailbreaking and tried loading just the 'oem" firmware from apple with Redsnow and thought i was successful. The device went through the process of white screen, several boots/dings of on my PC, and then an image appeared on the Ipod of "loading Jailbreak data". After a few moments/minutes it then began what I believe is displaying the "verbose" booting running the lines of text on the screen. I then notice it to stop and give me an error of something to the affect of init failed, and then a "lan error, watchdog timeout, giving up, a long pause, then quick scrolls down the screen and reboot back to white screen. Holding the power button or home/power button puts it right back to a black screen and in the Itunes recovery mode loop/error 21 again. Can anyone please help me resolve this issue before I pull what's left of my hair out. I would love to get this working for my daughter before her birthday. Thanks in advance to anyone who helps.
Common, no one has any ideas? Well, don't know if this will help, but here's some new data to process. I noticed that when I was trying to load the firmware with Redsnow w/o installing any options to include Cydia I got errors displayed on the Ipod such as WMR NAND format invalid; NANDLegacyFTL failed. Someone has got to know something. I would appreciate any ideas or thoughts from anyone with any idea. Thanks

Installing Windows XP on Qosmio X305-Q701
Is it possible to install Windows XP on my Qosmio X305-Q701 without the need of a floppy drive etc?
I saw a few other topics about it.
However on different models, and my laptop does not have the option of putting my SATA drive in to compatibility mode.
Don't mind if i have to slipstream a few drivers, but I need to know if there are XP drivers available for it, for when i look on the drivers download page i can only find Vista drivers.
Any help is greatly appreciated
Kind regards,
Jorde Vorstenbosch
P.s. bought my laptop in the states, So it's the best buy version. (heard they only sold these at best buy, so that's why)I managed to get Win Xp x64 installing right with almost all drivers in it.
I have upgraded to the 1.70 BIOS version and made a modified version of my Win XP Pro x64 using nLite in order to integrate both SATA and Atheros wireless drivers.
SATA and Chipset drivers are both found on Intel's web site.
Atheros wireless ones were a bit tricky to find, but I managed to do it searching over the net.
Bluetooth driver is the one form Toshiba.
HD audio drivers came from Realtek web site.
Almost all drivers I've got for Win XP 32 serve the x64 version as well.
I have bluetooth, wireless, high def audio and GeForce (laptopvideo2go) drivers installed.
And the best of it all: THE BATTERY PROBLEM HAS GONE USING THIS X64 VERSION OF WINDOWS XP!
Using the x64 version means that you got all 4 Gigs of RAM properly recognized.
I can put all drivers up in a single file and upload to rapidshare, for instance, for those who want them. -
My iphone 4s automatically getting turned off (blank black screen) and not getting started until full battery discharge. Even on long pressing power button - screen doesn't showing anything - not even "needs charging logo".
This is happening only since I have updated to new ios version (ios 8.1).
Is there anyone facing similar issue?? Any suggestion?!?Hi jayla_mora,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPhone screen is going blank and not responding.
You may find the tips in this article useful for troubleshooting this behavior:

Sudden black screen and goes dead
I had a similar version of this problem 2 days ago but after lots of button pushing, etc. it started working again but the problem has returned.
My PowerBook suddenly, without warning, flicks to a black screen and the motor shuts down immediately. There's no winding down in sound, it simply stops on a dime. The only way to get it running again is to reset the power manager. I get it up and running for a few minutes and then again, without warning, goes black and dead at the same time. Also, if I get it up and running for a few minutes and shut the lid, when I open it again the screen looks normal but within 15-20 it does the black dead thing.
I've reset the power manager. I've run a repair permissions with the CD and utility disk. I've also repaired disk using the CD and utility disk. I did a hardware check. All of these have never said there was a problem in the first place. I've reset the PRAM.
Are there any other suggestions? I need this laptop for a swim banquet this Sunday.
I dread the thought of doing a clean install. The last time I did that it took me all day to get things back to normal. Would a clean install help in this situation? Could someone get me the steps to do the easiest install.....I think I must have clicked the wrong way before and that is why it took a long time to get things back to normal.
Thanks so much in advance.I have posted this question under Powerbook and with no responses at all. I saw where a similar question to this was asked on this forum before with several people helping that maybe I would have more luck here.
I appreciate any and all help. You guys are wonderful.
I've taken out the battery but can't find where the air port card is located.
When my husband gets home I'm going to ask him to open it up to make sure the memory is firmly in place.
Does anyone know anything else I can try?
