Qosmio X770 107 PSBY5E Bios2.10 2nd SATA3 is where? +sudden shut-downs

The history of fails:
After 2 years the second HDD (non hybrid) made noises and died a week later. System on C: (Master HDD) was running good (still was the original pre installed one from factory).
I decided to upgrade to an Samsung Evo 840 500gig SSD by cloning the Hybrid HDD on the Prime/Master channel. It cloned the original perfectly and I swapped the discs like this : The SSD stayed in the Notebook on the master channel and the still good working HDD in the box with spare parts to have a emergency disc for future....
like this it worked nearly 8 months perfectly. Then frequently an alert window opened with the message that the RAM will be full soon giving the advise to close some application. With the MS tool "Resscoursenmonitor" I had to kill the processes of svchost.exe and sometimes spoolsv.exe to get the load down by 50% and I could work on till next day the alert window was returning. I did run MS updates more frequent now because skype started crashing now every time somebody called me. At this stage sudden shutdowns (without blue screen) occurred with a followed reboot. There was no intervals for these deaths obvious - sometimes 5 times a day, sometimes not at all.
The system protocols showed at the timestamp of the crashes a mistake named " Kernel-Power ID41" which is not helpful. Hardware or Software problem ? To find this out, I took the original HDD and replaced it for the SSD. The first day nothing happened, maybe because it was mostly idle, so on the next day, I started to make the pc work with all the updates from the last 10 months including Skype, Java etc..... On the 3rd day it started crashing with Blackscreen as well and rebooted nicely.
A last final test should bring up confidence that it is a software caused failure: HDD out - and SSD back in, BUT on the 2nd SATA channel. A miracle - nothing happened for a week - it was just fine. Happy End ?????
With Samsung Magician quickly testing the behaviour of the SSD on this channel, I saw that the channel can do only SATA2 and bottlenecked the SSD.
According to the Intel specification page, the chipset provides up to 6 SATA ports at 3 Gb/s with up to 2 ports supporting 6 Gb/s transfer rates. Also the CPU should support the SATA III but where is the second SATA3 channel ?
Could it be the blue-ray-optical drive ?
Who knows where the second SATA3 channel is hiding??????
Does someone have the same Problems with this sudden shut-downs ?
Does anyone have the same Problem with Memory getting to full?
The manual doesn't give information about it - >> on the Master Channel the SSD gives, according to the Magician Tool, 6 Gb/s BUT after a few hours running Sandra2015 burn-in-test it hard crashed again.
Please apologise for this many lines - but sometimes a full picture is needed.

  • Change HDD in Qosmio X770-107

    Hello,
    ive bought the X770-107, and i want to change the First HDD, but i dont know how to remove the first HDD..
    A Cable is over the first HDD leading to the 2nd HDD Controller.
    I want to change it, with a SSD 160 GB .. Does somebody know, if i can remove the two screws over the 2nd HDD Controller to remove the First HDD??
    Sry, my english is a little bit rusted.

    Hi
    As far as I know before removing the main HDD you have to remove the 2nd HDD which is placed near the CD/DVD drive.
    After removing the HDD cover at the bottom of the unit, you can remove the 2nd HDD by pulling the tab attached to the HDD.
    To remove the main HDD, you have to remove the HDD board firstly.
    The HDD board is secured by one screw.
    After the screw has been removed, you should be able to remove the HDD board.
    Then remove the main HDD by pulling the tab attached to the HDD.
    But be very very careful and dont use force in any case.

  • Qosmio X770-107 - 3D emitter needs to be installed to get 3D

    I have a Toshiba x770-107 and 3D nvidia Vision 2 glasses.
    I had this laptop before and all I had to do was to turn on the glasses and they worked.
    Now with this new laptop I had to install and plug in this emitter via usb port to get the 3d to work.
    Why can't I connect the glasses without it, like I could before?
    Are there models within models of the x770-107 and I bought an older one? Or do all x770's have built in emitters!? Could it be screen related? I have a dead pixel?
    Also i'm suffering from gpu throttling when playing games, videos.
    How can I fix this?
    Thanks.

    > Also i'm suffering from gpu throttling when playing games, videos.
    BIOS update would solve this issue as already reported in this forum.
    > Are there models within models of the x770-107 and I bought an older one? Or do all x770's have built in emitters!?
    This depends on notebook model you have purchased.
    Some X770 supports an internal IR emitter.
    As far as I know the internal 3D vision IR emitter should be placed on the right hand side near the internal webcam built in the display frame. The IR emitter sends signal to wireless 3D glasses.
    By the way: the 3D glasses can be used for about 40hours. Then the battery is empty and needs to be charged. The USB cable provided with the glasses allows you to charge the glasses battery. (light flashes amber when charging)

  • How to clean the whole cooling system of Qosmio X770-107

    Hi Guys,
    is there any manual, how to clean the whole cooling system of an X770-107 Gaming Notebook??
    I can try to clean the dust on the intake and outtake of the laptop, but whats in the middlepart of the cooling system??
    Any Ideas??

    As Tonny already wrote all you can do is to use compressed air and try to clean t up.
    For professional clean-up the whole notebook must be disassembled. After doing this there is full access to all cooling modules.
    Of course this must be done by authorized personal only. Some kind of maintenance manual is not a public document. What you can do is to contact nearest Toshiba service and ask how much such professional clean-up costs.
    By the way: this notebook cannot be so old so I dont think it is full of dust.

  • Can't find 2 drivers for my Qosmio X770-126

    Hi,my laptop is a Qosmio X770-126 PSBY5E 03600 HFR
    I can't find this 2 drivers,i need help please :)
    PNP device IP:
    ACPI\TOS6205\2&DABA3FF&2
    ACPI\TOS620A\2&DABA3FF&2
    I tryed to install intel management engine interface but it can't resolve my problem
    Thx in advance

    Hi
    The *ACPI\TOS6205* seems to be Bluetooth device.
    The *ACPI\TOS620A* seems to be an HDD shock protection sensor
    Therefore you should install the Atheros Bluetooth Filter Driver Package and Toshiba BT stack to get BT working.
    Furthermore the HDD Protection Utility should be installed to get rid of TOS620A device

    Hi,
    i have recently installed a new version of Windows 7 on my Toshiba Qosmio X770-123.
    When the system first started up, i noticed that, obviously, no Toshiba programs were installed and also no drivers for anything.
    Right now neither my fn-key, nor my W-LAN chip are working.
    I need the drivers for my Notebook, because the W-LAN driver for this product in particular is not available for download right now.

  • Qosmio x770/00x - button 1 does not work pressing 6 and other button

    This is going to sound so weird, but bear with me...
    I just got a Qosmio x770/00x a couple of weeks ago, mostly for gaming purposes.
    I play in left-handed configuration, using the Num pad as directional keys, with some of the other non-directional numbers mapped to things like 'jump' and 'melee', etc.
    I have the '1/End' key mapped usually to the 'Crouch' motion in games, and noticed that if I press the '6/Right' key, in combination with any other number key, the '1/End' key won't register!
    This means if I'm moving Forwards in a game, and Strafe to the right, I can't simultaneously crouch.
    I've done a bit of playing around, and it seems that this bug isn't limited to my unit, or to any particular program. If you try a similar thing in any other program (eg Notepad), and hold the '6' key down along with any other number key, the '1' key won't register.
    However it seems that it *has* to be the '6' key in the combination (eg. if you press '4' and '7' together, and then press '1', the '1' will still register.
    Have also tried this on the store demo model at the local computer place, and it seems that it's a problem with this particular model.
    The store computer runs Windows 7 Home Premium.
    I'm running Win7 Pro. BIOS and Windows are fully updated.
    Have also tried it on my older P-series Satellite, and that doesn't have the same problem.
    Any ideas?

    Ive got 2 notebooks from two different manufactures and the button 1 does not register if 6 + other button is pressed.
    Dont think its a really a keyboard bug because this happen with my two notebooks which are not really similar to each other

  • Qosmio X770: 4 nVidia HD audio devices in device manager

    So i have a few questions...
    In my device manager i have [this (screenshot)|http://i.imgur.com/NfH5E7p.jpg].
    So i have (!) 4 nvidia hd audio and 1 hd realtek audio.
    I usually update my nvidia video driver and nvidia hd audio driver is updated every time with it.
    But not long ago i decided to find any other updates to my drivers, cause bloody toshiba (we call it that way in Russia) is too lazy to support their laptops. And [found this:(realtek hd R2.70 codec driver )|http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level= 4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false].
    Installed it, everything is working fine so far. It is for realtek alc269 (and also many other devices, but for us only alc269 matters) which is the real name of realtek hd audio device in x770 laptops (i checked in program aida64, previously known as everest).
    So now i have [this (screenshot)|http://i.imgur.com/6HM5mLj.jpg]: version 6.0.1.6662 date 19.06.2012
    The previous version that lazy toshiba was glad to provide us with - 6.0.1.6360 [(screenshot)|http://i.imgur.com/dUQiPA0.jpg]
    So the questions are:
    1. Why i have FOUR nvidia hd audio devices in device manager?
    2. How can i make nvidia hd audio my primary audio device? Or maybe they are some kind of virtual devices or smth like that.
    3. Do you think the idea of installing driver directly from realtek website was bad? There is a disclaimer on their site: To be sure you obtain the full features/customizations provided in your original audio product, please download the latest drivers from your system/motherboard manufacturer's website.
    So i invite everyone to test this audio driver with me :)
    And a few more things.
    In one topic i found this info: moreover, myself and other users of this forum have overclocked their cards from 657/1300/1200 to 800/900/1600 and are very pleased with the results, so try not to overexaggerate
    (it is a quote). So I will be happy if someone gives me link to some kind of manual about overclocking 560m gt from our beloved x770.
    Also I found a lot of topics about nvidia drivers with angry customers. I don't remember when i first updated video drivers, but i've never had problems with them. When the situation changed? As far as i can understand in 2011 you could't install nvidia drivers directly from nvidia website.
    P.S. sorry for my english, i'm from Russia. Also there is some russian on screenshots, hope it won't make your eyes bleed.

    At first i want to "thank" moderator about renaming my topic. Original name was: realtek vs nvidia hd audio x770 + update r2.70 question. Where is 2.70 part in the current name? Ok.
    Second. To Tonny: I'm not lame user, no need to explain me obvious things).

    > I dont understand why you want to make an device primary?
    > What is the purpose for that?

    If there is nvidia hd audio device and it's not some kind of virtual device or controller, i want to test it like primary audio device. Simple curiosity. I love flac etc.,
    So I always try to improve sound. And alc269 we have in x770 is also installed in my ANCIENT asus eee pc, so it's very depressing. Also your advice about control panel - sound is not working, i think you know why... There's only speaker device working on realtek hd audio.
    > {quote:title=Tonny wrote:}{quote}
    > You can use the driver from Realtek since the sound chip is from Realtek.
    Yep, of course, but it's my 5th laptop and also i have 2 netbooks (i'm speaking only about portative devices, not pc). I tried to update drivers manually numerous times on my previous devices, and I learned a lesson, that if you install new driver (not from you laptop/whatever support page, but directly from device manufacter's website ) and even if you are absolutely sure that driver is compatible with you device there can be problems. For example, as i've already said realtek alc269 is installed in my qosmio x770 and in my super old asus eee pc. And driver is the same.
    Also realtek driver support page has disclaimer: To be sure you obtain the full features/customizations provided in your original audio product, please download the latest drivers from your system/motherboard manufacturer's website. (already was in op-post).
    So I only tried to hear from those who has already installed r2.70 realtek update or maybe tested it some way. But the moderator made it impossible renaming the topic.

    Hey,
    I've just got Qosmio x770-105 and while setting up Skype the camera just stayed black and never showed any image. While using the Toshiba Web Camera Application it is working on Skype it just has stays black.
    Do you have any suggestions on how to fix that ?
    Thanks Than

    Well, you could try to remove the Toshiba Webcam Application from the system and could try to use just the Skype tool but this is just a suggestion not quite sure what cause this issue
    It looks really like broken Skype utility have googled around and it looks like more Skype users have the same problem using different computers and different webcamsunfortunately did not find a exact solution proposal

  • 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 X770-n404 How to get illumination to stick ON in Bios?

    Just received a brand new Qosmio X770-n404 from toshiba last week
    The lighted keyboard words fine when turn on
    However when turned off, and illumination set in BIOS to on, it wont stay on after windows starts
    I go back to Bios and it says illumination off
    How can i get illumination to stick ON off in bios?
    (im talking the illumintion option, not keyboard back light)

    ok thats what i thought its supposed to do
    so let me restate clearly, what my problem is:
    first i go to bios, i sent illumination to ON
    then of course i hit the SAVE option to store the settings
    i exit and the laptop reboots
    now, as soon as the laptop starts, the media buttons and the red strip above the mouse pad are illuminated
    the laptop continues to boot, after i enter my password and the windows desktop begins to open, the lights cut off
    The only way i can cut them back on at this point is to hit Fn-Z to either turn them ON, or turn them on with the timer(which is not exactly the same as JUST having the illumination on)
    i reboot back into bios, the illimunation option is turned OFF
    i turn it back on
    wash - rinse - repeat.....
    So im wondering if i have a software or hardware problem. When i set the illumination to ON , shouldnt it STAY on? and not go off once i enter windows?

  • External speakers do not turn off Qosmio x770 speakers

    When I plug external speakers on my Qosmio x770-135 the internal speakers don't turn off.
    Can someonee help me?

    You may check the Realtek HD Audio Manager in the Control Panel.
    In the top right corner, there's a little yellow folder called "Connector Settings.
    There, you could enable the setting "Enable pop-up dialog, when device is plugged in".
    Now when you plug in an external speaker or headphones, it pops up and I select the option "headphone" (instead of "line-in"), and then the sound comes out only through the headphones/ext.speaker.
