Toshiba Qosmio X505 Q870 BSOD (what A Suprise) Crashing/freezing?
May 24, 2012
I've sent this computer to a repair center and after diagnostics (if thats what he calls it) he said my crashes were due to my RAM. He wanted to charge me $120 to install new RAM. Instead I had him send it back and since I am computer savvy enough I installed new RAM myself.
my specs:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
Nvidia Geoforce GTS 360m
8GB RAM
Intel Core i7 Processor 1.60Gh
Just re-installed windows 7 Completely reformatted HD

all the literature for the Toshiba Qosmio X505-Q898 (and, I assume, the others in this series) was to max out at 8gb RAM. Well, I am here to tell you that is not true. FYI, I have Win 7 Home Premium as the OS. I initially installed 2 x 8gb Kingston sticks and the Q898 recognized but 8gb of the RAM. I had 2 x 8gb sticks of Komputer Bay RAM in another laptop (HP dv6-6112nr) so I swapped them out. I had read a few threads here and there that Toshiba PC's were "picky" about some brands of RAM. Most of the upgrades were accomplished using Komputer Bay RAM. The HP laptop could care less what brand it had installed. Bottom line is I have 16gb of RAM in both PC's and am a happy camper. Given the price drops of RAM it is an inexpensive way to give some new life to a 2010/2011 laptop.

I have had no luck installing 7 on my Qosmio G35-AV600.
Tried several versions (beta, RC, RTM) all crash on the same spot during install.
I know the OS's are good as I am using the RTM to type this post on my desktop.
When I install - clean on a formatted drive - about halfway through the computer reboots, blue screen error flashes (too fast to read) and the start windows normally screens comes up. The notebook has onboard raid and I have to manually install the drivers as requested by windows since the install cannot see my (2) sata drives. Tried the Vista Toshiba Raid driver and XP driver which I believe are actually the same.
Any ideas?

I recently installed windows 7 on my toshiba qosmio f25-av205 with a the geforce go 6600 graphic card and I tried to attach a 2nd monitor to the laptop (sceptre 22") but the 2nd monitor does not display anything when connected and remains black and in standby mode. If I restart the computer with the 2nd monitor plugged in, the laptop's primary screen goes black and the 2nd monitor then displays the regular windows screen.
When i go to the nvidia control panel, it recognizes that two monitors are available and it will even show that the two monitors are on duplicate screen or extended screen, however only one monitor will actually be working.
I've updated my nvidia driver first by using windows update, then by getting updated drivers from laptopvideo2go, but none of the drivers i've used seem to give me two screens working at the same time.
I've tried pressing the windows symbol+p, and it will show that the screens should be duplicated or extended, but only one screen will work. Once the 2nd monitor is working I cannot get the main laptop screen working until I unplug the 2nd monitor and restart my computer.

a couple days ago i posted a hijack this log because my toshiba satellite had been freezing and crashing a lot all of a sudden. my kapersky software got rid of a few viruses but it was still running slowly. now my toshiba wont even boot up past the splash screen it just wants to run startup repair. startup repair either takes 5 hours or says it cannot fix. -i cannt do system restore because i didnt have a previous point saved, -i can get into the command prompt thing and when running chkdsk it says 512 bytes in each allocation unit, failed to transfer logged messages to the event log with status 50. 3086 kb total disc space.

I recently built a new pc and I'm having some issues with Windows 7 which seems to freeze on start up. By this I mean at the "Starting Windows" screen the animation will start but will freeze after a couple of seconds. It usually takes me about 3 restarts to then get into windows. I haven't been using Windows Repair tool because the restore deletes all of the programmes that I've put on and the crashing continues to happen despite the changes. I'll list my specs below:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
ASRock Pro3 Gen3 Z68
Intel Core i5 2500k currently @ stock speed
Gigabyte 560Ti OC
OCZ ZS 550w
8GB DDR3 Crucial Ballistix 1600mhz
Kingston HyperX 120gb SSD (Boot Drive)
Western Digital 1TB Caviar Blue (Overflow Drive)
I don't think the SSD is the problem because when I did the install on the WD HDD I still had the instability and the crashes.The drivers I have installed are: Realtek LAN drivers, Nvidia 500 series Graphics, Nvidia HD Audio and all of the "Important" Windows 7 updates.

When I boot up my pc, randomly 15-30minutes after logging on, all of the programs running will freeze with "Not Responding" on their title bar for a few minutes. After a few minutes the programs will unfreeze, and more problems arise. These problems include, some of the open programs working, some partially working , and some not working at all. When I try to to ctrl alt delete to close the frozen programs, an error message will pop-up Cannot find explorer.exe. Also when I open the start menu it is completely blank, doesn't show anything. Also, some of my desktop icons disappear, while some others stay. In general, the computer gets really buggy, and I cant do much.I have been having these issues for roughly a week. I formatted on Mon, Aug 27, and the issues still arise since the format, so it appears the issues is more likely hardware related.Since I formatted, I have chkdisk /f /r, and sfc /scannow, but the issues still arise.About a week ago I was trying to clean my case, get rid of dust, etc, but before I did it, my case fell roughly 6 inches to the ground, thinking this issue could be hardware, most likely a bad HDD related.

Basically what happens sometimes in-game is I get either a crash where the screen goes black and then a message saying the graphics driver recovered successfully, or I get freezing up with fps drops every few seconds until I quit the application.
I haven't had this issue before I OC'd my AMD Phenom II X6 1090T CPU from 3.2 to 3.6 GHz. The temperatures of the card are perfectly fine (it's usually around 62-67 degrees) and I also ran some stress tests through furmark, which gave me results consistent with my card's rating, and I had no errors.
I was under the impression that overclocking the CPU didn't affect the graphics card. Also, I'm 100% certain the card is getting enough power because I specifically bought a new power supply a few months back to make sure I would never worry about power issues. The GPU drivers are up to date (I even tried using beta drivers) and I've checked the card physically and got the dust out.
edit: just got another error in Starcraft 2 - "your computer has run out of paged pool memory". I have 12 gbs of ram and with starcraft 2 open i have about 8.5-9 gbs being used.

computer spec, win 7 64 (fully updated). all drivers are updated, and bios is upto date asus p6t delux v2, i7 940, 12gb ram ocz 1000w power supply (bought 6 months ago) main drive- kingston ssd vnow series 128gb , could it be this?
recently we had a builder round, and the electricity tripped while my computer was on since then my computer constantly freezes randomly no given time really (could be guessing at this time really as updates have occured as well recently)
An example is i could be browsing the web on a variety of browsers or just using the computer in general, the computer will lock up sometimes allowing me to move the mouse but not being able to do anything, and sometimes not being able to move the mouse,it will then un freeze about 2-3 minutes later?
and when it frezes i could press ctrl alt & del, then the task manager will pop up when the computer has resumed it selfi recently ran memtest on all the ram after around 50 hours of testing there was an error on one piece, another thing it could be possibly one of the updates i have run for drivers bios etc, but id be clutching at straws trying to find out
i have norton 360 and malwarebytes on, both find NO Viruses, so i retested one at a time in the same dimm slot, no problems? i then tested in pairs still no problems? i then retested all and this time i had no problems? strange? but only retested for 30 hours at the bottom of the memtest screen, it said pass complete no errors,

This computer is 4-5 years old. Originally had Vista installed. Did a fresh install of Win 7 Pro x64when I bought the SSD drive.
In the last several months I have been upgrading it:
Installed 8 GB of 800MHz RAM - 4 months ago Installed a Crucial M4 SSD drive - 2 months ago Throughly cleaned all fans and the computer - 1 month ago Replaced Power supply that had failed - 2 weeks ago
This has been driving me crazy for quite a while. Before I replace the motherboard and cpu I wanted to see if someone could decipher the log files for me.
I have played with the BIOS settigs quite a bit. It may be time for me to return to default values..

Earlier this afternoon, my Toshiba laptop running windows 7 restarted itself without any prompting. Since then, I have not been able to start it in normal mode without it restarting itself of freezing either during the startup or just after. I can open it in safe mode with networking, but that is it.
Ive tried fixing the registry, Ive tried antivirus software, Ive tried system restores, and Ive tried running a clean boot. None of these have worked.

manufacturer: toshiba
model: satellite l555d
os: windows 7 home premium 64 bit
cpu/ram: 2.3 ghz / 3838 mb
video card: amd m880g with ati mobility radeon hd 4200
sound card: realtek high definition audio
it's been happening lately. my toshiba satellite(windows 7 home permium 64 bits) has been freezing up with multiple, thin, multi-colored lines with a noise similar to when a sound track on a cd sticks or freezes and no mouse response or any kind of response at all. i have to press and hold the power botton and force it to shut down. i noticed it does this more often when i try to play a video game,virus scan,video call on skype and less frequently on Internet (Internet might just be a coincidence). sometimes after the computer restarts and i virus scan or skype then i have no problems. i think it happens when i virus scan or skype when i have both multiple firefox and google chrome windows open at once but i cannot be sure. i've tested the theory a few times but it's inconclusive however i am confident that virus scans or video game are most likely to trigger the freeze even if they are the only thing i have open on the screen.
sometimes i get that message in the blue box that says "windows is shutting down to prevent damage to your computer....." the strange thing is that after i force it to shut down if i try to restart it immidiately then it will boot. all the lights will come on except the orange one in the left hand corner,the screen does not come on and windows does not load. if i leave it for 30 minutes or sometimes less after it crashed then it will restart .the funny thing is that i had this problems about 8 months ago when i tried playing a video game called a.v.a. about 2 minutes into play it would freeze with the same noise i mentioned earlier.i repeatedly tried to play the game and it happened every single time and everytime i force shut down the laptop and try to restart it right after then windows will not load and the orange light does not come on. i removed the game and reinstalled it and i never had that problem again.since i got the laptop it has randomly restarted like 4 times and i've had it for about 1 year and 2 months but now it is just freezing up (mostly) or i get that message in the blue box. at around april of this year the game stopped working. i keep getting error reports when i try to reinstall it and my windows no longer recongnized the digital signature of the company that made the game.
i'm not sure if it's overheating,i have a hard drive or motherboard problem or if it's a software problem. i've tried:
system restore
defrag
disc clean up
non of these have helped. i've also tried using seatool for windows to try to look for errors in my hard drive and it has not found any. i've also done that thing where windows,with the black screen and white text, check through your files for errors and corrupted stuff but that report says that it hasn't found any errors at all. my computer has no slow down in performance that i can notice. it doesn't take long to start up nor does it take long to shut down. i don't get random error reports or anything like that. it works fine except for the freezing bit.
the fan seems to be working just fine and the latop doesn't get that hot. sometimes it freezes when it's barely warm to the touch and other times it would be significantly warmer but it would not freeze even if i have multiple firefox and googlechrome windows open. before all of this when my game was working i use to play for hours with the exhaust at the side significantly heating up the desk and the computer would run perfectly without problems except that brief period i mentioned earlier where the game froze 3 minutes in to actually playing the game,reinstalled it and solved the problem. yesterday it froze on me while i was on skpye and today it froze on me about 5 minutes after windows log in on Internet without the computer getting hot,just barely warm. i just don't get it!
i've try using a vaccum to clean the vents without opening the computer. i've removed and reinserted my memory just incase they were loose and i've also removed and reinserted the hard drive to be sure that it was in properly and that has not stopped the problem either.n.b. i did do a virus scan with a trial version of kaspersky pure that i installed less than a month ago and it does say that i have a virus called "virus heur trojan.script.iframer" and a medium and high risk events. i've tried to remove or quarantine them but nothing happens and when i scan again with kaspersky pure or kaspersky virus removal tool they find no viruses but the trojan report is still there with the option of removing and quanrantine.
as i've said before i've seen no slow down in performance and it works just fine except for the freezing and the blue box message. the only noticeable problem is that both firefox and googlechrome have been just a little,little bit buggy in that sometimes i would have to close down a window and reopen it again because the pages were not loading but that's only on facebook and a few other websites and i thnk that's because of my internet connection. i've noticed that firefox is a little bit slower than usual but that's it. as i said, i've gotten no random error reports,not from windows 7 or my browser.

I have a Toshiba Satellite L505 with Windows 7 64bit. After starting up and entering the log in screen my computer freezes. I can access and work the computer through safe mode with no problems. I've checked the drivers and all are fine but one. The hdaudbus.sys is updated but will not startup. Is this what is stopping my computer from running in normal mode? Also, I have reformatted the hard drive and have also reset the computer back to factory setting.

Have a new Toshiba laptop running Windows 7 than began freezing yesterday. Laptop less than 2 months old. Had to do a hard shutdown, then ran a system restore back to about 2 weeks ago, and a Malwarebytes scan. Still having the issue. Computer runs without issue apparently in safe mode (which I am running now).

I have a Intel Quad Core HP elite Desktop M8190a everything is as manufactured except i upgraded the ram to 4GB.Originally running Vista .. Last week while playing a mp3 file from an external HDD a loud "ticking" occured then the computer crashed. Restarted automatically then a BSOD appeared stating something about a BAD_POOL_CALLER.
Problem Name:BlueScreen
BCCode:50
BCP1:8C100000
BCP2:00000000
BCP3:82E5A1C5
[code]....
For the last week it has kept crashing daily so i decided to do a full system format to take it back to factory settings. Seemed all was going well, until i got a message stating "bad system configuration, unable to install windows". So i decided to do a fresh clean install of windows 7 64bit (genuine) that i had purchased and had been meaning to do for months. All went well .. connected to the internet fine, activated windows 7. I then installed my printer and all seemed fine. But the second i hooked up my external HDD (which is not new, ive had it as a backup since i purchased the pc 4yrs ago) .. BSOD !!! AGAIN!!! Not sure if it was a coinsidence or not .. but now the pc will not load past the windows screen it just keeps restarting .. so i cant even see the minidump problem .. Also there is no option to use SAFE MODE .. which seems odd. Only options are "Start Windows normally" or "Lauch repair" as this is a fresh OS install attempt there is no last known good configuration .. also i did notice just before one of the crashes that windows was saying it wasnt a "Genuine Version" - but i did purchase it from a store.

I have been running my computer for about four years where i made a clean instal about one year ago and it was all running great. Then all of the sudden two weeks ago my computer began crashing giving black screen, but no BSOD. This resulted in myself trying to fix it by doing a new clean instal, resetting my HDD's, renewing the battery on my motherboard. i tried updating drivers and such but nothing really seems to work.The strange thing is that yesterday i could run my pc the entire day, but when at the end of the day i tried to shut it down the computer froze. No picture no sound and no responce what so ever just like reguler. The weird thing that i see is that the fans and lights keep working. Pressing the shift five times doesn't give a sound and when it normaly freezes the music and evrything stops.

Make sure you click 'Format' on the partition you want to install Windows 7 to, don't just create the new partition and press 'Go' I have a Core i7 920, Gigabyte EX58-UD3R, Radeon HD 4870 512MB, 3GB DDR3 G.Skill 1333 RAM (exact specs can be seen in profile) and I'm having issues trying to install Windwos 7.
I backed up all my stuff from XP onto my external, got ready to reformat like normal tossed the Windows 7 x64 Professional disc into the drive and booted from CD. Everything worked like normal, Windows 7 is a bit different in that it doesn't run in a BIOS-type setting like XP but rather has its own little graphical install interface. Figured out what I wanted (custom install, "deleted" the old partition), and pressed go. I thought it was weird that it didnt "format" the hard drive like XP installation does, I know I can get a boot disc with 'Book and Nuke' to wipe the hard drive which I may do, but I figured since Windows 7 didn't want to format that it wasn't entirely necessary. Goes through the expanding files fine, whatever else it does on the first isntall screen, and then it gets to the restart phase.
Restart goes well, automatically shuts down and boots back up, getting to the screen that says 'Starting Windows...' and then crashes. Monitor gets the 'No Signal' message, computer stays shut off for a few seconds and then powers back up. It gives me the 'Windows crashed and recovered from an error' selection where I can choose how I want to boot (Safe Mode, Last Good Configuration, etc.) and I've tried the 'Boot like Normal' configuration and it will just continue this cycle.
The first time I tried installing Windows 7 it got past this screen, got to the portion of the installation where it automatically adjusts the resolution, and then after that it crashed. Since then I have not been able to get past the first reboot without a constant restart loop.
I tried 32-bit with the exact same results.
I have disabled all but 1 core and disabled hyperthreading (this was required to install XP beacuse I don't have a SP2 disc) to see if it worked but the same thing happened. Reset BIOS to factory defaults, same thing. Changed back to 1 core, no hyperthreading and same thing happened again. I have no extra video cards I can try but I could ask my brother if I can borrow his 23" widescreen HANNS-G monitor but unless I'm mistaken I don't think this is an issue that a monitor would fix.
I'm not the most computer-savvy person but I can work my way around. I don't know if there is a log file I can access and post here to see what the last thing that happened (the error) is, but I never get a BSOD with an error I can post, just a restart and Windows telling me there was an error and asking how I want to boot.

I had posted another forum post on the games section where I kept getting this bluescreen error when I played WoW. However today the issue occured even when I didn't run the game so I think its just a general problem now.I wiped my entire computer, reupdated all my drivers and reinstalled windows 7 and wow to try to fix the problem, but no luck. I though the problem was my memory at first, so I did several memory diagnosis tests and tried different sticks of RAM (current using 8g) and they all passed and no errors came up on the windows memory diagnosis tests. I also went to the alienware website and re-downloaded all the drivers for my M17 model, and I updated windows about 50 times.I will provide my system specs and my minidump files below for you techy's to take a look:
