OK, no need to shout!!!
if the hidden partition is corrupt, then you will need to use your recovery disks to reintall the OS and Toshiba crap ware. If you didn't alreay create them, then you will have to order a set.

Qosmio X305-Q705 BSOD while gaming

I bought this laptop in December from Best Buy, I live in Canada but it was bought in Delaware (my girlfriend lives in PA so she picked it up for me) and I picked it up when I visited her just after Christmas. Everything seemed to work ok, I went about 2 weeks with no problems and then after updating the bios to 1.70 (it's not at 1.80 with same problems that will be explained) as well as updated the Nvidia drivers with the beta drivers off the Nvidia site.
I refuse to format, as I know that will not fix this issue but this is my only computer, I do a lot of gaming and work on my computer away from home so I stopped investing in desktops and got a laptop to replace my desktop. I used a Toshiba a few years back, then I went to a MacBook Pro last May and now this, I never had a problem running games on my other 2 laptops when I had them but this one just keeps blue screening on me when gaming, at random. It will be less than 30 minutes playing a game, sometimes hours. It doesn't happen daily either so I do not know what is causing this but it is getting very very frustrating, I paid a lot of money for this laptop and it doesn't work. The system, for those who may ask is running Vista Home Premium 64-bit.
Here are the dates and times of the BSOD's I get:
1) Jan.14 at 00:29 hours, with BSOD error "PFN_LIST_CORRUPT" (while playing World of Warcraft);
2) Jan.15 at 02:32 hours, with BSOD error "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA" also showing "dxgkrnl.sys" file below (while playing Warhammer Online);
3) Jan.16 at 01:45 hours, with BSOD error "DRIVER_IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (while playing Warhammer Online)"
4) Jan.17 at 23:21 hours, with BSOD error "IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" (while playing World of Warcraft);
5) Feb.01 at 14:13 hours, with BSOD error "IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" (while playing World of Warcraft).
Toshiba, what is going on? Please fix this, or send me back a full refund and I will take my business elsewhere! This is ridiculous that a brand new computer is having these issue, and it seems others have the same problem so it's not isolated to 1 or 2 machines it seems. you guys screwed up or put really really cheap parts in these systems. Oh, and it doesn't seem to overheat either, I keep it in a well ventilated and cool area as well as I have a laptop cooling pad underneath it, my MBP I had before this got hotter and never had problems so it's not a heat issue.

Wow, not a single response from anyone at Toshiba?
I just had another blue screen of death while playing WoW about 20 minutes before I posted this reply. This didn't show any specific error, it just said "A process or thread crucial to system operation has unexpectedly exited or been terminated". I also had a video crash, I don't the file name with me but some error where my computer locked up for a few seconds, then the screen went black and then recovered and gave me a message saying a video file stopped working but has recovered. I think the video card and ram in this machine were bad right out of the box.
Seriously, this computer cost me a lot of money, and within the first few weeks of using it(about a week of using it under my normal usage conditions) I started getting BSOD's. My first laptop never had issues and was a Toshiba Satellite A100 (forget the rest of the model) and then I had a MacBook Pro which was great even with Vista x64 running through Bootcamp, but this Qosmio a completely different story, these BSOD's are starting to piss me off.
As I mentioned, my girlfriend bought it from a Best Buy in Delaware but by the time I got it home (I live in Toronto, ON) and started seeing the issues I had no way to return it otherwise I would have. Is anyone from Toshiba going to comment on this problem? I tried updating to the new 1.90 bios as well. Should I revert to the 1.40 bios or what because I didn't see the first BSOD until I updated to the 1.70 bios but of course I didn't have much time using the laptop prior to updating to 1.70 so I don't know if that was the problem or not, but 1.80 and 1.90 didn't fix anything regarding these BSOD's so I'm guessing it's faulty hardware you guys put in these systems.

If you read the terms of service, there is no official Toshiba presence here. I'd suggest that you call Toshiba Tech Support and see what, if anything, they suggest. Be prepared to use the recovery process to wipe the drive and put it back to 'out-of-the-box', as that is likely the first thing they will want you to do to eliminate a software issue.
I don't own a Qosmio, so I have nothing specific to suggest. Sorry.

Qosmio X305-Q705 - No hdmi video on hdtv

I've been really trying hard to hook up my laptop to Sharp Aquos 32' 1080p hdtv (Model - LC32GP1U) thru HDMI cable and can't get any external video. When I press FN+F5 the only option I have to choose from is LCD. I did read my hdtv settings and based on the manual it has to be set a specific video resolution. Regardless if my laptop video is native or a the desired hdtv video resolution (I set it 1024x768 32bit color) I still can't get any external video on my tv. I restarted my pc and still no external video. I also bought an hdmi to dvi conversion cable (connecting dvi to the back of my hdtv) and still no video. Is there way to test out if the hdmi port works on the pc. Does it work like a usb port??...meaning do you hear a sound when your connect/disconnect the hdmi cable? Or am i doing something wrong here? I also reinstalled my nvidia geforce 9700m gts drivers and also downloaded the new video drivers - beta version from toshiba support site that eventually leads to nvidia site. Right now I'm current waiting for the vga to dvi conversion cable as this is the last resort and I'm hoping it's going to work. If anyone has an other suggestions, I would really appreciate it. I would hate to use vga to dvi and there's no sound and hdmi supports both video/sound.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have the same model laptop, and I bought a DVI-HDMI cable so I could plug in my external monitor using the HDMI port. It's a huge improvement over the VGA output, which produced some horizontal ghosting effect that was annoying.
When I hit Fn+F5, I see my current video selection with 5 "bubbles" below it. Keep hitting Fn+F5 until you select the one you want. I don't understand why it would not give HDMI as one of the options. I am using the LCD+HDMI option, and set it up to extend my desktop across both monitors. There are nVidia settings to set all of that in the Display Settings if you right-clickthe Desktop and choose Personalize.
When I plugged in the HDMI, I plugged in the DVI side on the monitor first, and then plugged in the HDMI. A bit of a flicker - and it was on. I assume it's hot-pluggable, never read that it wasn't. You can double-check the RealTek HD Audio Manager and make sure the HD audio ouput is turned too.
I'm hoping you just have to turn the HDMI on via Fn+F5. I've never plugged my laptop into my HDTV, but some weekend I'll give it a try just to see how it works/looks.
Hope this helps, good luck.

Qosmio X305 will only boot in safe mode or when the graphics card disabled

Hi All
I am having a very concerning issue with my laptop (Toshiba Qosmio X305). It will only boot in safe mode or if I disable the graphics card.
Awhile back I upgraded the drivers for the nVidia 9800M GTX from the nVidia website, it worked fine for awhile, but then it started crashing randomly by giving me a full screen of random color then switching off. I fixed this by rolling back to the previous version of the drivers (the drivers that came with the laptop software).
After that it working perfectly for months but yesterday my machine started crashing and I could not get it to boot correctly.
I have completely deleted (not just a quick format) both the hard drives that came internally in the laptop and I have installed a clean version (the out of the box option) of the x64 Vista that came with the laptop from the recovery disks I created. After I did the install, it boots fine as only the standard VGA device is used, as soon as I installed the driver off the drivers and applications disk it would not boot correctly:
Just after the status bar comes up and it is about to show the windows logo, just before login, I get a black screen. I can hear that it is booting fine and I can even log in to windows and by memory make things run, but I can't see anything. I then got the latest drivers, again from the nVidia website and they are not helping at all.
My system is as follows (nothing has been added, its is just how I got it):
Vista Ultimate x64
4.00 GB RAM
Intel Core 2 Quad
Like I said previously it is a clean install of the operating system, I have not added any programs, except for installing and then updating the display drivers.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi buddy,
It seems that this is a typical example, that only pretested display drivers from Toshiba should be used. Why?
The nVidia drivers are not pretested and they dont have an overheat protection. So for me it sounds like that the nVidia driver has destroyed your graphic card. That means no driver will help you and reinstallation of the whole system too.
I think the only option is replacing the graphic card. Therefore you should contact an authorized service provider in your country. Here you can search:
http://www.csd.toshiba.com
Explain the whole story and then you will see, what the technicians say. If your notebook is under warranty, hopefully this will be covered too. Normally other display drivers you have to install on your own risk
Good luck! :)

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.

Qosmio X305-708 - Solved: Media Buttons not working after BIOS update

I had this problem so I thought I would share in case anyone else encountered the same problem.
Basically after installing BIOS 1.70 (in Windows 7 64bit) on my Qosmio X305-708, the media buttons remains on partially, as in they were dim, and they didn't work at all. The light even remained on when the computer was off (strangely only when plugged in). To solve this problem I reinstalled the BIOS through a boot disk (USB key), since then its been fine. Must of been a corrupt install I suppose.

Hi mate,
Wow, thats really good work! :)
Im pretty sure that this would be interesting and very useful for other Qosmio X305-708 owner!!!

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.

Troubleshooting System Recovery Problems

A System Recovery is a useful tool to return your Windows 8 tablet back to factory defaults. However, what do you do when the System Recovery isn't working!?
A full System Recovery can be a lengthy process as there is a lot of data being transferred. Patience is the key, as a full Recovery can take two to four hours to complete.
For more information check out HP's Troubleshooting HP System Recovery Problems for Windows 8. This document will help you get your Windows 8 tablet back up and running.
TIP: If you are planning on using the System Recovery make sure that you do not change or delete the HP Recovery Partition as that will make all but impossible to Restore your tablet using the HP Recovery Manager.

The message means that your internal hard has been damaged. This message always comes up when the file system is corrupted. I suggest to remove it, connect the hard drive into a different computer as an external drive (use usb caddy), perform a backup if possible and the format the hard drive and restore the factory settings. I'm afraid that you have to reformat the hard drive, a checkdisk scan won't help..
The error message means that the Boot Sector is corrupt or has been damaged. It does not mean that the hard disk is damaged.
This is a fixable issue. There are a few command line tools that can be used.
You will need to make an appropriate version (32-bit / 64-bit) of the Windows 7 repair disc from a working Windows 7 installation. You will need either a USB or CD to create your rapair CD/USB. Follow the instructions on this video to create the repair installation of your choice..You will will be using the manual boot sector repair that is described in this video to repair your Windows 7 Boot sector. Use the Windows 7 repair disc or repair USB thumb drive that you created earlier to accomplish the repair.

Recovery Problem

I have a Dell Latitude X200 laptop (with Windows XP Pro) and a Zire 31. My use of the Zire is restricted to its Calendar and Contacts features. On April 29 the Palm data on the Dell was seriously corrupted. The Zire has not been HotSynced for over a month. BUT, by using the “Export” option in the Zire’s Calendar and Contacts sections, I had saved those two datasets to a flash drive on April 27. I want to: 1) Remove all present data from the Dell and the Zire. 2) Copy the saved Calendar and Contacts data from the flash drive into the Dell. 3) Perform a “HotSync” to copy the correct data in the Dell into the Zire. Is there any hope that I can get my April 27 data back into the Dell where it belongs, and then into the Zire?

A couple of things:
Reset system bios to the defaults - F2 at start up to enter the bios f9 to set to defaults and then f10 to save.
then try to start.
Did you have any problems before trying to recover, slow or lagging response, etc. These problems can be caused by virus/maleware and also a failing hard drive.
The recovery may not be completing because of bad sectors on the drive - a failing hard drive.
