Re: Qosmio X500-12D - Question about display driver

Well I wanted best for my "pet", and I downloaded latest display drivers from Toshiba page first, then nvidia it self. What happens now, with any driver I have is next:
In dual display, when my desktop is extended to other LCD, clocks speeds of GPU CPU and Memory go to max, and heat up to 102C even if I stick in windows with no action at all even in power saving mode!
So my question is, can I correct this issue with nVidia control panel, or any older or newer drivers? Do you have problem like this? All you that have second display please try to extend desktop, and check with evga or gupz, temperatures.
I noticed that fan speed doesn't drop under 50%, and it is pretty loud for Power Saving mode, checked CPU, then GPU, and saw amazing thing max clocks + 102C
Thanks in advance.

Tell me your temperatures in idle, in dual monitor mode (if you have another monitor), or go to game or run FurMark and test it and let me know how high your temperatures go, try it out, you obviously don't play so you don't get driver display stopped working ... Guys I had Toshiba drivers and didn't work ... not anymore, well if hardware issue is here, I didn't do anything wrong ! 100% !
Well as I see there people have lots of problems, I will copy paste from another Toshiba post I made, I would be thankful if you test and answer to my questions:
Can somebody please tell me their temperature in C, idle and max load ! Please do next, download GPU-Z, go to sensors and read idle temperature, then go to dual display and leave it for 5-10 minutes and read temp then. It should be max.
I downloaded free benchmark program Ozone3D - FurMark, and I did test, extreme test last for 5 mins, 107C and my Qosmio shuts down !!!
Guys 100C in desktop while in dual display mode, and 107C probably in some games where it shuts down and on this benchmark, and remember I do have cooling pad with 2 140 mm vents it is summer, but it is around 24-25C in room, even over night it is colder it is 3 am, window opened (around 20C in room) still overheats ..
What I noticed it takes around 10-30 seconds to hop from 55C idle to 90-100C load ...
Please can somebody who thinks that doesn't have this problem let me know those answers:
1. Idle temperature
2. Load temperature of GPU
3. Drivers that you use for graphic card GTS 360M, if you don't have display driver stopped working problem !! And Dual display 100% problem
Thanks in advance.

  • Satellite A100-599 - question about display driver update

    Hi,
    I have a Satellite A100-599 with a NVIDIA 7600go graphic card and I have Bioshock like most of you the game crashes because of some problems with the graphic card drivers, no pb...in the meantime NVIDIA released some new patches to the Forceware and after I rechecked the Toshiba driver support database I saw a new release in the Display driver list for WinXp.
    One of them seems to be from 13/09/2007. I downloaded the drivers, installed them and after I checked the driver details in the Device manager list and to my surprise the details said the drivers are from 2006. I reinstalled the drivers and the same thing appeared. I checked the XML that was in the drivers archive and surprise ...the drivers are really the old ones from 2006. So my question is this: Do you have any Display Drivers for my model that work for Bioshock :D
    Regards,Marian

    I dont know if WE have. I think it would be took some long time to ask every single user: hey, do you have some drivers for blackmodjo? Ah, come on, please. Just a little bit of them... ;)
    No, I have a better idea. Its like cooking a meal. The ingredients: DriverCleaner Pro and the website www.laptopvideo2go.com and .... ta ta ta TAAAA a lot of patience
    To get some good "bio"shocked meal just follow this receipt:
    Go to
    http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/
    read before you do anything (YES, even before you continue BREATHING) the FAQ-section on that site (RECOMMENDEDRECOMMENDEDRECOMMENDED)
    and then download the drivers. Do it, yes...
    Then download drivercleaner by searching for it on www.google.com and THEN, read their Manual before doing anything else (Ok, you can continue breathing..)
    After reading their manual you will something like:
    1. Starting program, doing something, restarting machine
    2. starting in safe mode, starting that program, removing..yadayadayada
    3. Installing new driver
    3. Playing Bioshock
    4...
    5..no..6. Thanking me and giving me your first born.. ;)
    So, by cutting away around 40% of my humoristic stuff and following the constructive technical instructions from me you will be able to play bioshock.
    Greets :)

  • Qosmio X500/02 - Question about partition

    Hello Forum,
    I have a just purchased a Qosmio X500/02 notebook and have noticed on one of the HDD, a partition having the specs. of
    NTFS (System) Pri. Act. and a size of 1.465 GB.
    Is this partition created in order to use the built-in backup and restore utility?
    Regards JohnBoy_Oz

    Hi buddy,
    Normally you have at least two partitions on your notebook. The first partition contains the Windows installation from Toshiba with all drivers and tools.
    The second partition contains a folder called HDDrecovery. These files are necessary for HDD recovery option to restore factory settings on your notebook.
    Usually the first partition is called WINDOWS and the second one Data.
    Does the partition that you mean contain a folder called HDDrecovery or not?
    As Jeka wrote, create the Toshiba recovery disk as fast as possible. It can restore factory settings all the time.

  • Qosmio X500-11U- Question about new BIOS update

    Hi to everyone
    I need to clarify a matter, the BIOS update that was released December 2010 was the 2.90 now a new release march 2011 is named 1.40! Is this an upgrade a downgrade or a joke? Should I proceed with the newest 1.40 or stick with the old 2.90?
    I forgot to mention that I own a X500-11U and thanks in advance

    Hi nick73,
    On Toshiba European driver download page there are two different versions available:
    BIOS-Update 1.40-WIN for X500 PQX34E models
    BIOS-Update 2.90-WIN for X500 PQX33E models
    Your model the X500-11U belongs to PQX33E series and that means only BIOS Update 2.90 is compatible and 1.40 would be the wrong version.
    So its not a joke and before you search for BIOS update next time, also use the correct part number ;)

  • QOSMIO X500-12D - webcam, bluetooth and fingerprint disconnection issues

    Hello,
    I still got no solution for this problem. I already did a clean install of Win 7 x64 but still no luck. The devices still keeping disconnecting and I have to reboot to resolve. (this is bad since I normaly using a bluetooth keyboard)
    Further this Problem seems not only to occour if system goes 'idle' since my bluetooth keyboard was disconnected during typing. (whatever 'idle' means).
    Sometimes I was able to recover at least the Bluetooth connection by turn it off and on again within the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack, sometimes with the HW switch (which also deactivates the WLAN) and sometimes only a reboot helped.
    It seems that all three devices (Bluetooth, Webcam, Fingerprintsensor) are connected to the same integrated USB root hub within the system.
    After my last test, everything was working before I left the system during a nightly copy operation of a 'few' gig, I come back after ~4 hours and all devices were disconnected (HW not installed) --> I checked in the device manager (see [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/241257] to show devices which are not connected and in the computermanagement right click device manager -> View -> Show hidden devices) all 3 devices shown as 'not connected'.
    I already opened a case at support and they told me to update the bios. (when I opened the call the tests were done with the latest bios available)
    Nevertheless, I also had a small talk with the support and they told me to restore the system from the recovery DVD's and check if the problem persists after the restore of the 'certified' image (drivers and so on). If it still persists they will do a HW repair. (change mainboard or whatever)
    *AGAIN... is there still NO solution out there? I have searched the web and found many people with the same issues. (X500 owners and others)*
    _What did i tried:_
    - different hotfixes as described at [http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB0402UQ0001R01.htm] and [http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/FAQ0402UC0001R01.htm] ([http://support.microsoft.com/kb/978258])
    - right now I am using [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/981214] since the build numbers of the files are higher than in the hotfix mentioned above and therefor this hotfix should also resolve the problem described in [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/978258]. (and I am using an USB audio device)
    - I also tried to disable different things of the power management (e.g. disabled usb selective suspending)

    Screen Resolution 1920 x 1080

    HI,
    It seems that I have found a solution for this problem.
    If you have read my first post exactly you should have read that i already disabled the selective USB suspend.
    I have connected 2 external USB hubs which are powered by an AC/DC adapter. On this USB hubs I have connected varios USB devices...7.1 USB Headset, external HDD's, PDA, Card Reader, PKI device, USB Sticks, etc.
    Nevertheless, I also disabled the the Powermanagement settings on all devices which were involved and where it is possible.
    To do this goto the device manager --> right click --> View --> show devices by connection.
    Now locate your bluetooth, webcam and fingerprint device. (be carefull names might be different because of different drivers!)
    Should be under ACPI x64-based PC --> PCI-Bus --> Intel(R) 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller --> {color:#ff0000}*USB-Root-Hub*{color} --> {color:#ff0000}*Generic USB Hub*{color} -->
    There you should find all integrated devices which are troublemaker:
    * {color:#ff0000}*AuthenTec Inc. AES2550*{color}
    * Bluetooth USB Controller-7 from TOSHIBA
    * USB-Webcam
    Now double click every device in this 'chain' and locate the powermanagement TAB. (Please note that NOT all devices in this chain do have a powermanagement tab and cannot be configured....that's ok)
    On the power management tab uncheck 'Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power' and click OK.
    I have done this for all devices which are {color:#ff0000}*marked red in the chain above*{color}. (_I also deactivated the USB selective suspend in the used powermanagement plan!)_
    It seems to work now....until now no more bluetooth problem or devices which were gone. It might be that it is enough to disable the Power saving settings only on one or two devices, but right now i had no time to test.
    Please also keep in mind that I am using the latest Intel Chipset driver, latest Toshiba drivers and installed the Microsoft hotfixes described in my first post in this thread!
    It would be very nice if some people can try and post here if it works!
    Regards

  • Qosmio X500-014 PQX33C-01400N display does not wake on reboot

    Recently my Qosmio X500-014 PQX33C-01400N display does not wake on reboot. I can see the the HDD status light working but I don't see the BIOS boot process or the Windows login. It's just blank. I know it boots Windows as I hear the chime and the webcam lights up waiting for face recognition.
    I can reboot and plug in an external display and see the whole boot process and it works, but when I log in, Windows does not detect the laptop display.
    For the laptop display to work. I reboot and wait until I see the webcam lightup which I assume means Windows is already in login prompt. I close the built in LCD display down and wait for the laptop to go to sleep mode. Once in sleep mode, I prop up the screen and it awakes like normal. I now don't shut down my laptop because of this. I just close down the screen and put it on sleep so I can easily get to it by simply waking it up.
    Is this a hardware problem? BIOS problem? display adapter problem? I've never seen this problem in any forum.
    Any advice would help. Thanks!

    As that's a Canadian model, you'll want to check their support site.
    I'm not a tech support agent, but I doubt it's a driver issue because it's manifesting pre-Windows. Try checking for any relevant BIOS settings.

  • ####a question about jdbc driver

    A question about jdbc driver: for Oracle JDBC drivers which will not allow O/R
    tools to access columns over 4 kb. This affects some of the functionality of my
    application.A workaround is to use the my JDBC driver that acts as a wrapper to
    ensure that columns over 4 kb read and persist properly. my JDBC driver determines
    which actual driver to load based on the connection URL. If you pass in a URL
    that contains the string jdbc:oracle:thin, it will know to load oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver.
    If the URL contains the string jdbc:db2, it will know to load COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.net.DB2Driver,
    and so on.
    now i have set CLASSPATH for my jdbc wapper,when I Creating and Configuring a
    JDBC Connection Pool,i have to input my driver name such com.lawrence.driver.....then
    i did,all
    is well,then i restart my WLS,when load config.xml,some errors such as "No registered
    driver accept URL:jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:lawrence",if i set driver name
    is oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver,all is good,no any errors.
    I find some questions like:
    1.for WLS8.1 ,it is only find some registed driver?
    2.why it cannot load my driver wapper when it is loading jdbc Connection Pool,but
    when the WLS start is finished, i Creating and Configuring a JDBC Connection Pool

  • Qosmio G10-133 Question about DVD COMBO Drive replacement

    Hi
    my laptop has a DVD driver labled UJ-830B but the device managaer reports that it is a UJ-830S. I have posted before saying I haven't been able to burn DVDs. It gets part way through then errors out saying unable to burn. I have used various software and disc makes but all to no avail.
    I purchased an external burner which burns no problems, however it does defeat the object of having one built into the lapotop!!!
    Can anyone suggest a suitable replacement drive? I have already tried an NEC 5540A drive, but my laptop didn't recognise that it was installed. I assume it is something to do with Master/Slave?? If the laptop doesn't recognise the drive I am obviously unable to flash any firmware.
    Somebody please help.....

    Hi
    Seems you have already noticed that the drive replacement is not so easy.
    The internal notebook drives dont support any jumpers like the external drives for desktop PCs and the settings are fixed and in my knowledge not changeable
    I found some compatible drives numbers but unfortunately, I did not find the drive names.
    It seems this are any internal part numbers.
    DVD Super Multi Drive
    - MATSU****A (G8CC00021610) UJ830
    - MATSU****A (G8CC0001S610)
    DVD Super Multi Drive (supporting Double-Layer)
    - MATSU****A (G8CC00021611)
    - TEAC (G8CC00024611)
    However, the service partner could provide you a information about compatible drive.

  • Qosmio X500-014 (LED Backlit Display)

    Hello all, quick question here.
    Just picked up my new Qosmio X500-014, although I'm quite satisfied with this machine I wish this particular model had the LED Backlit Display for the keypad.
    Would it be possible to buy the correct Backlit keypad and swap it for the one in my mcahine? Or are there other components required as well?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for reply Dr.Lamp.
    I did take the time to call Toshiba today and was told that I have a canadian model with multilingual keypad no backlighting. (Qosmio X500-014 Mfr. Part Number: PQX33C-01400N). They also told me that they do not carry nor sell parts for these laptops, any advice as to weather a backlit keypad would be compatible with my model is inconclusive. They did however give me the number to there parts supplier:
    National Parts Depot (1-800-524-8338)
    Speaking with a Rep at National Parts Depot I was told they do not carry parts for the canadian versions, only the US versions. They do not have any reference to the X500 version only the X505 version.
    Now I`m confused, is the X500 canadian only and the X505 the US variant? This may explain why all the models I see here in Canada have the same multilingual keypad with no lighting? (not sure)
    So I decided to take things a step further and gave them the part number to a US model that has the English only LED backlit keypad . (Qosmio X505-Q850 Mfr. Part Number: PQX33U-00L00H). NPD won`t give me the part numbers for the keypad, but does have availability for $90.00 US funds, no guarantee that the LED lighting will work with my model number but should physically fit into my X500.
    So, I guess I need to find the parts supplier for Canada and see what they have to say, if all else fails I may just take the $90 dollar gamble on the keypad for the X505 and see what happens, worst case I can always resell it on Ebay.
    I`ll keep this thread updated with any findings, thanks.

    Thanks for all

    Hi
    Qosmio X500 is not very old notebook model.
    Usually the warranty should be valid. Is the warranty valid?
    If yes, get in contact with the Toshiba ASP (service provider) in your country.
    The guys should replace the drive if its faulty.
    PS: In user manual you can find a list of compatible ODD drives
    - *Panasonic BD-R/RE UJ240*
    - Hitachi DVD Super Multi GT20N/GT20F
    - Toshiba Samsung DVD Super Multi TS-L633C/TS-L633Y
    - Etc
    Unfortunately there is only on Blue-ray drive listed as compatible part.

  • Very basic questions about hard drives

    I'm upgrading from vintage Beige G3, so much of the jargon about internal drives is new to me.
    My MacPro will come with an OEM 160 GB drive. I will use this for my primary boot drive -- OS and Apps. All my data, photo files etc. will be kept on my second/third drives. I do not plan any sort of RAID setup. Windows is going nowhere near my Mac.
    For the extra drives --
    1) SATA? SATA II? What's the difference and is it critical?
    1a) What is a "raptor" drive?
    2) Does size matter (we're talking about GBs here, guys...)
    3) Reliability is more important to me than speed or noise. We're a long long way from any technical help or even UPS.
    4) Do new drives need to be formatted before using them internally?
    5) If I partition one of the extra drives so I can keep a clean, backup OS boot partition, I need to format it as GUID, correct? Or does that just apply to external firewire boot drives? Does it matter which partition will be the boot partition?
    6) I've read discussions about firmware requirements for some drives. What's that all about?
    I was leaning toward MaxLine Pro 500 GB drives, but have been reading (reading too much, perhaps?) and now have all the above questions/concerns. (Whatever happened to the good ol' days of "buy an IDE drive, insert, play"?)
    Thanks for your patience with these questions. I need to get it right the first time because of our remoteness!

    1. SATA 1 interface speed rated at 1.5 Gb/s; SATA II interface speed rated at 3.0 Gb/s.
    2. Drive ratings/performance is determined by many factors. You can best find out about individual drive performance by visiting http://www.storagereview.com/ to see their benchmark results on various drives. You will also find some helpful comparisons at http://www.barefeats.com/.
    3. As for drive specs see previous answer. Generally speaking within any manufacturer's category of drive models for a given size the fastest drive will be the most expensive. Manufacturer specs usually do not provide any idea about drive performance in real world situations. Only benchmark comparisons are really useful, and even those can be confusing.
    4. Yes, you can boot an Intel Mac from an APM partitioned drive. You simply cannot install OS X from the installer disc because it will refuse to install on a drive that has not been GUID partitioned.
    5. Some older Seagate 750 GB models were not working properly when installed in a RAID configuration on Mac Pro computers. Seagate provided a firmware update to fix the problem for those who already owned the affected drives.
    I don't know where you got the idea that Intel Macs were "picky about such things." Nor that installing drives in a beige G3 was a no-brainer. The old beige G3 required a lot of mechanical effort to mount a new drive internally. You not only had to connect all the various cables, but if you had two drives on the same ribbon cable each drive had to be jumpered properly - one as MASTER and one as SLAVE. Some older ATA hard drives had two different jumper settings for a MASTER - MASTER solo and MASTER w/SLAVE. Some beige G3 models wouldn't even boot OS X unless it was installed on a MASTER drive. And, you could not install OS X on a large drive except by partitioning the drive with an 8 GB partition for OS X that had to be the first partition on the drive. RAIDs may work or not depending on if you ran OS 9 or OS X. At least to me that wasn't the "good old days" unless you were comparing installing ATA drives to dealing with SCSI. I would say that in your particular case you were lucky, and you never tried putting two drives on the same ribbon cable. Oh, and I forgot about the size limiting jumper on most ATA large drives to limit capacity to 32 GBs because that's all that was supported by FAT32. Oh, yes, and the beige G3's disk controller did not support drives larger than 128 GBs.

    But I can see the 2nd HDD using "System Informaton" /"System Summary" / "Component".
    Drivers I'd loaded since clean installation are:
    - Intel Chipset SW Installation Utility 9.9.9.10.20
    - Intel Management Engine Interface 6.0.0.1184
    - NVidia Display Driver
    - Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver 1.0.2.1002
    - O2 Card Reader Controller 2.0.24.D
    - Conexant Audio Driver
    - Wireless Lan Driver
    - Synaptics Touch Pad Driver 14.0.12.0
    - Toshiba HDD Protection 2.2.03
    - Atheros Lan Driver 1.0.0.29
    - HDMI Control Manager 2.0.0.364
    - Toshiba Disc Creater
    - Toshiba DVD Player
    - Toshiba HW Setup Utility
    - Win DVD BD V8 fir Toshiba
    I didn't load all the utilities and drivers hoping the this will speed up the computer start up time. Am I missing something or doing something incorrect here?
    Thanks.

  • Question about hard drive, need help lol.

    Hey I'm kinda new to the MacBook world and have a stupid question. I am getting a late 2009 MacBook unibody (white polycarbonate, model MacBook 6.1... I believe) I am switching the original 250gb 5400 rpm hard drive out for a Seagate Momentus XT 750gb 7400 rpm hybrid hard drive. I want to keep everything on the original hard drive and just pop the new hard drive and start fresh with Snow Leopard. I'm going to purchase the SL cd from apple but I do not have the original  grey start up cd that came with it (my girlfriends little sister lost it). Do I need to call apple for that cd in order to start fresh on my new hard drive or is everything I need on the SL cd?
    Also how do I go about wiping the whole computer when I put the hard drive in and use SL? I want to essentially have a completely clean laptop with a new hard drive.
    Thanks for your help in advance.

    The SL disc you get from Apple will do everything you need. When you nstall the new hard drive there will be nothing to wipe, the drive is the only piece of that Mac hat stores anything so you don't need to worry about that. Post back and let me know how that hybrid drive works out....I'm interested.
