It happens every 10-20 seconds when watching movies... and sometimes randomly (my guess is that it happens when Nvidia G310m kicks in)...

I'll try and update the latest Nvidia drivers again, so far all of them din't work T_____T

Help ar sifu wuwuw
After fix this damn problem I'm going to force my gf to sell it... piece of crap... ruin my impression on Toshiba only lol XD

Thanks for the reply bro hehe
No problems when watching videos on Youtube
The problem will arise regardless of what player I used e.g. KM Player, Windows Media Player, Media Player Classic, VLC player

I've deleted MPC already since KM is so nice to use
Linux live CD? what's that?
Sorry, noob here xD

Anyway, I've updated the latest Nvidia driver... so far seemed okay... now just waiting for the stupid pop up to pop up

Update: Leewhat sifu, any idea how to "induce" the pop up? I lazy wait for it haha

Morning sifu!!
Yesterday after updating to the latest Nvidia driver, I've tried playing 2 movies using KM player, one with Windows Media Player, and another 2 via Youtube streaming (HD) at the same time, no problems whatsoever

Today morning after chatting awhile in lowyat.net, it popped up again!!!! Argghhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I don't have Linux installer wo bro? Where can I get it bro?

THanks thanks, sorry for the trouble

okok, thanks bro, I try to download now

Review on the Satellite L755 is out: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Toshib...ok.60049.0.html
Doesn't seem very impressive

Not really surprised, seemed like al the GPUs are downclocked
Maybe this causes the M500's problem as well since I remember trying 3DFuture Mark and my [M500] scores are way lower than normal

Just that it looks rather bulky and the design patterns is a bit awkward

I din't use Ubuntu long enough to really confirm that the problem is gone unfortunately
I was thinking of fixing the laptop then sell it haha
Or should I make it FreeDos and sell it XD XD

Teledynamics don't seemed eager to help

If I can solve the problem, I believe selling at RM1.8-1.9k would be fair~
I dun really wanna cheat ppl haha, later I cannot sleep

Oh I see... yea I guessed its hardware problem (but its limited to all Toshiba M500s) as well since other Asus notebooks also have this Nvidia G310m without any problems
I thought the GPU is already downclocked? O____O
So how do I limit of fix the clock at lower speed sifu?

Alright, will try MSI AfterBurner when I go back home today
The error will occur randomly, but most of the time its more frequent when playing movies (whether Full screen or not)...
Can't really play a lot of games
But when tried on The Sims 3 and Batman: Arkham Asylum, no problems at all

mine is of a different case la haha....
The thing is that they say that Teledynamics is just a representative of Toshiba, anything official need to contact Toshiba Singapore, which I did but no replies whatsoever
And because of the nature of the problem, which is with Nvidia G310m, they say that its Nvidia's problem (during that time, loads of other laptops from different brands were also powered by G310m as well and with no problems )

But then this is the only problem case I have with Toshiba... all the others went well and the guys at Teledynamics are very friendly and helpful~
Its actually my fault for not researching enough before making the purchase

@lee_what sifu,
I only need to reduce the Core and Shader clock via MSI afterburner?
Do I need to do anything else? And how much do I need to reduce?
Sorry ya, I've never done and over/underclocking before

Err.. sifu, how to lower idle clock?
I can only adjust the core and shader clock? (Trying on my m14x though )

Okok, thanks for the tips sifu

Will try it later~

Yeah, actually the guys at the repair centers are right... LCD replacement is not cheap to start with, and summore this is a relatively older model... it'll be more expensive as well
Better use the money for repairs on a new laptop. 4-5 years is already very good for a laptop's lifespan

You can find it by merely searching via Google

Toshiba
Satellite A665, i7-740QM + Nvidia GT330M@RM3299 [Harman/kardon], backlit keyboard

But its not worth it as the specs are very outdated and weak... you might want to consider others instead

Err.. you need to state your usage 1st

Wah, the build quality got so poor meh?
I think I'll need to go play play with some display units haha

Eh? The review unit only comes with a HD+ screen

Anyway the discussion on the laptop seemed not bad over here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/toshiba/59...x775-3dv78.html
