Fuzzy Green dots on x205

I just noticed this on the plane ride down to Manila. Whenever I play any movie on battery power, my screen shows a lot of green fuzzy dots. Maybe it has something to do with the cccp codecs, but every container seems to do it... wmv, hddvd, avi, mkv. Anyway, just wondering if everyone has that or just me. I was thinking about complaning to Toshiba and trying to get them to replace my x-205 with Sli.

 

1. Check your NVidia control panel, for watching movies on battery I think you should configure it for "Performance" and not "Power Saving"
2. Install K-Lite Codec pack if you think your problem is related to codecs.

I have my P105-S9337 and it's great for everything including watching movie, I noticed problems playing movies with WMP, but after I installed K-Lite codec pack everything went ok.

 

I didn't see power options in the nvidia control panel. I've got high performance set on the power settings. Still get green dots. Could someone with an 8700m gt see if their rig does it by watching a movie and unplugging? It should be instantaneous.

 

Hi Slomar,

I've got the same problem on my toshiba x200-191 with 8700m
even though i got powermizer disabled via registry settings i think toshiba bios still throttles down the card when nothing serious happens on the display.
(even in performance mode!!)

I found that if i set the memory clock to 150Mhz in standard 2d mode settings in RivaTuner the green dots in video and images disapear. Although using RivaTuner clocking tends to generate artefacts in 3d games...

 

The same problem here with Vista. Installed WinXP - the problem stays. Have no idea what to do...

 

Hi faca9,

I'm at least happy that i'm not the only one with this problem... so probably it is just buggy nVidia drivers for the newer cards I'm going to phone Toshiba tech support about this on Monday, see what they have to say.
