Cannot start update BIOS on Qosmio G30

Hello

I ve a Qosmio G30-188 (PQG30E) and after a few problems and a few messages that I read on the internet I wanted to update my BIOS. So I went to the page of the selected Toshiba driver my laptop downloaded the update to the BIOS, but it does not work.

Whenever I get the error that this BIOS is not supported for my computer. After some more try to install it, I started to wonder. Then I found the option where a Toshiba tool can find what laptop you automatically. So it has detected the same laptop I chose before and the BIOS-update, he gave, it was the same that I already found.

So I got the same problem again.
The version of the BIOS that I have is: acpi bios ver 1.40

Someone has ideas how to upgrade the BIOS?

THX

Hello

What kind of problems do you have? Perhaps, the update of the Bios is unnecessary at all.

    Hi jspindler,

    The question is why you want to update the BIOS? This update should be carried out only if it of really necessary. In addition, only the most recent update of the BIOS can be downloaded as it fixes most problems.

    In any case, you need to start the BIOS as an administrator and you should decompress all files from zip archive before start you. Also, make sure that the value added package is installed.

    By the way: what operating system is installed?

  • Qosmio G30 - 102 screen completely disappeared

    I read a lot of messages about the green lines, white spot, and blue screens. However my laptop screen has taken a step beyond that and stopped working!

    I have a Qosmio G30 102. I was playing a game (use high amounts of graphics) when suddenly the screen went. I restarted the computer, but it came with the different colors of the Rainbow (green lines, would change to a completely white screen). The problem was once windows starts to load than the screen turns off. I used the function keys to review the settings of the screen (if you want it to be double screen, connected to the LCD tv), but nothing would work.

    I decided to restart the laptop, but it now came with windows not stopped correctly and gave me the options to start the computer and had pixels all messed up (some letters were missing), windows, put in place would not work after the reboot because the screen turns off.

    So now, the laptop is just left with a blank screen. I can't install windows and my warranty is now sold out (ironically just 1 month ago: S)

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Thank you

  • Qosmio G30 PQG31E - no driver XP 32? Cannot update the BIOS?

    As usual, obtained a computer laptop, but no recovery CD :(

    Got 32 installed XP (my Microsoft contract does not MCE) but a lot of missing drivers. Driver Toshiba page has all the drivers for XP MCE, XP 32 has only BIOS update, Bluetooth, HD - DVD firmwares, the virtual sound and drivers WI - FI!

    So I tought "Vista on this issue", but I checked the compatibility XP with Vista DVD I got a 'need to update the BIOS' (always a 1.40-2006/03/10)!
    My problem is that BIOS update always returns "this computer is not supported! Laptop has only one account, this isn't permissions problem, perhaps because many drivers are not present? Can I update the BIOS in safe mode?

    What now? Am stuck with a brick of Qosmio? Without controllers LAN to say the least, I can't not fact! Drivers XP MCE does work on XP 32?

    Any thoughts?

  • Qosmio G30 - BIOS need to be updated for Windows 7

    Hey,.

    I am trying to install win7 (not beta) on Qosmio G30 (PQG32E with HD-DVD).
    I begin the installation, and copying the files on the hard drive. Then the computer restarts for installation.
    But every time you start ends in a blue screen with the error: stop 0x0000007E. The text of the blue screen is not little say on an update of the BIOS. But there is no latest BIOS available on the Toshiba site. BIOS 3.90 is installed. There is no other is available.

    XP and Vista runs without problem.

    BIOS with a standard configuration.

    Concerning
    File

    Hello

    I don't see any question in your message, but you probably want to know if Toshiba will offer BIOS updates. I am sure that nobody here can give you a definitive answer but, in my opinion, Qosmio G30 will be not supported with Win7.

    The first series of Qosmio G30 is delivered with WXP MCE and later with Vista. Thus, this model of laptop is quite old. I watched how Toshiba treated with old laptops when Vista was on the market again and not over a year of two laptops have been supported. So I think with Win7 will be the same story. All laptops, not more than one year one or one and a half not will be not supported for Win7.
    I think in the future that Toshiba does not update the BIOS designed for Win7.

    Of course, I wish wrong me about this, but the future will show whether or not it is just my opinion.

    In any case, good luck.

  • Qosmio G30-211: how BIOS update on Vista 64-bit?

    Hello

    The VAP is not compatible with Vista 64 bit. For the execution of the BIOS updated common modules of necessary VAP. Vicious circle!
    Do you know of ways to improve the new version of the BIOS (3.50 win) not under Vista?
    The real BIOS manual upgrade (http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/faq.jsp?z=234&service=EU&from=faq_selection&CFID=B IOS & FID = TRO0000000b07) is not correct and not suited to the content of the package (for example after unpacking, I can't find the files "docs", "Update - 3.5' disc',"Update - CD - R or CD - RW")?

    Hello

    Because of your first thread posted here in the forum, I guess you have a laptop Qosmio G30-211. This unit belongs to the series of PQG32E.

    Now, we must clarify something;
    Toshiba laptops are not delivered with a 64 bit OS. Also the Qosmio G30-211 not was not preinstalled with Vista 64 bit, but with 32-bit Windows, XP Media Center Edition 2005.

    In my opinion, to run the original image of Toshiba (or MS Vista 32 bit OS) for updating the BIOS. And not a 64 bit OS!
    The BIOS of 3, 50 - WIN at the moment on the Toshiba page is OS independent, so it should be available for updating Vista or Xp.

    In the BIOS zip file you will find only an exe file, and you must run this file to launch the BIOS update procedure.

    By the way; the document said Toshiba;

    For the current offers in the range of Toshiba laptops two different BIOS update procedures.
    -Windows base update: BIOS is updated to Windows.
    -Traditional update: BIOS is updated using a floppy disk or a CD-ROM when starting.
    We recommend that you update the BIOS from Windows.

    Hello

    Do you have what Windows OS installed?
    If you have installed Win XP then the common Module must be installed before trying to update the BIOS.
    If Vista is installed, the VAP (value added package) must be running.

  • Qosmio G30 - I can't update the BIOS

    I have a Qosmio G30 * PQG31A-01Y01F model number * purchased from the Australia.

    I downloaded the update to the BIOS (version 3.90) of the Australian from Toshiba Web site. But it still says "the computer is not supported. I know that this message appears when you try to update the BIOS to one lappy with another.

    Its frustrating because I am very sure that I downloaded the correct bios listed on the Australian site. It is very incompetent on the part of toshiba for not providing the correct bios of the same.

    Why cant they put an all .bin file. Now they are confused with that support, they have released so many model of qosmio worldwide

    I need this update bios because because it's a model that has been registered under the program repair GPU. Lappy so expensive and they come with a such blunder upward.

    It's strange. I found the same BIOS on another site of Toshiba, try this: http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/bios-20080911134528.zip

    PS. you have installed Windows 32-bit or 64-bit? Is it Vista or XP?
