Toshiba Qosmio X305-720 GPU not working

[Satguru]

My Qosmio X305-720 is going through a most painful death. I bought it in 9 / 2009 to replace a Toshiba Satellite I gave my sister that need a computer. From the moment I bought it, I'd get the occasional crash black screen, and "The video driver has stopped responding" error, but just occurred one time or twice a week. Throughout the previous week of July, initial week of August I would receive the video driver congested reacting” message every time you turn on the machine He also began to lock up and the only way to reset the system and hold the power button and make a difficult start. During that week, also began receiving a lot of graphical corruption, if only to surf the web or read email. I guess at this point, I replace the machine. I apologize for the long message, but I just wanted to vent.

Try to download and install the latest Nvidia driver and give it a try. If that fails we will go back and try something else than work. But I am sure this will help you, because once my friend also affected this problem and just get way out solution by just contacting technical person. Now he is happy with it. Therefore I wish this will also useful for you. So just download it. Here is the newest driver for your laptop graphics card.

I already tried the new drivers. Unfortunately, I started the computer yesterday, and graphics corruption has become even worse and more or less has a "desktop CD" with a lot of places flashing on the screen. Unfortunately, it seems the graphics card is more or less toast. Well, despite having SLI 9800GTS card, it seems that I have an Intel chipset. I was eager to repair the machine. My dad could utilize a PC as an upgrade on your computer too old. I am utilizing the machine to write this message, and if I scroll up or down, there are nasty black squares appear. At this point, I'm glad to have backups, and I'm glad to have a backup team.

The X305 is-720 comes with the GPU 9800GTS cards and an Intel chipset. Mine had a GTS card in it when I have it, but returned it with a GTX card I initiate on eBay. All units had SLI Nvidia chipsets in them, if you can find a 9700 card that was made for the X305 is that you can use it in yours, they do so. It must have been made for the X305, since it is an own design, made cards for other systems will not work.

They called "Hybrid SLI", which I guess is a little different than when I found two NVIDIA cards in my desktop. I'm not apprehensive about opening my desktop at all, but I'm a little apprehensive to get on the laptop. But I guess if I want to renew and give my father I have to overcome that. From what I've found online, I'll have to get there from the top. They took a pretty big place on the screen when repairs last month. Before going through all that work, I wonder if there is anything else I should check to ensure that there is another fault that the GPU to fail. It replaced the motherboard and GPU when I had previous month. If my temperature readings are correct, 63c is the hottest I've seen, and I see from other owners that is cooler than many other people have. They swap I would not want just to get one more GPU eating machine, and one time you give Dad, do not want him to have problems with it. He will not be playing World of Warcraft and StarCraft II on it though.

Try connecting to an external monitors and see what happens. Press fn-F5 displays. I simultaneously to switch between viewing a site where they explain how to replace the screen on the X305 and how to take out the motherboard in the X300 (similar as the X305) and give you sufficient information to start to the rest of the method. There are pair of screws asset the motherboard in which are hidden under other small components on the motherboard, so look carefully for them. I broke mine, apart for at least 10 to 12 times, so if you have any queries you can send me a message to make certain I see it, or just ask here.
