• PCI Express Error - Qosmio G40 - 10Z

  Yesterday I turned on my laptop and I got a black screen with the message "PCI Express Error"
  I immediately started searching the Web that could be this error and I discovered that it is a known problem with some Toshiba laptops.

  Some of the many topics that I found about this error.

  I bought my laptop model from January 2009 as a demo in a Dutch shop called Qplaza http://www.qplaza.nl/

  Don't think I have any warranty next to security,) I received store (2 years), but there are a few things I don't understand.

  As I understand it, it's that there is even a lawsuite on this problem and that it indeed was a problem with chips from nvidia 8600. But then why won't Toshiba or Nvidia fix laptops with these problems?

  I read my laptop have to go to the special repair service to replace my motherboard and I have to pay for myself.
  And that's IF they can fix my laptop.

  I started searching the Internet which could be the cost of price, but the answers don't make me a very happy woman :-(

  Is there another way to solve this problem?
  And are there not places where you can buy a very appropriate motherboard for this laptop?

  Can someone help me please? My laptop worked perfectly and without any warning... poof... can not run more.

  Hello

  I can understand that you are not happy with the current situation. Nobody is happy if the computer starts to malfunction, but it of not always easy to tell which is the reason. For the exact diagnosis, you need professional tools and these tools available only to an authorized service provider.

  I get bored in your ad information is information about the operating system. Are you using the version preinstalled Windows and you have already collected your notebook back to factory settings? If not, you should do this to make sure that it s no software or driver that is causing the problem.

  If it still doesn't work you should get in touch with an authorized service provider and talk with the guys what they can do for you. I m, they can make you an offer for spare parts if you need them and a good price too of course. Just talk to the technicians is that as possible. ;)

• QOSMIO G40-114 and "PCI Express error"

  My G40-114 QOSMIOI worked perfectly until yesterday.

  I now have a black screen with the message "PCI Express error" at startup. Screen is frozen, can't do anything.
  What is the origin of this problem? (I searched the Web and looks like it has something to do with the motherboard...).

  Is that what I can do by myself?

• Error in PC Express on Qosmio G40

  Hello

  I've owned my Qosmio again for 2 years. Its a Qosmio G40 and it worked very well.

  Recently, I updated to Windows 7
  Monday/Tuesday night, I had one of these standard windows updates that settle after clicking stop
  Next morning, I turned on and get splashscreen without any pixel death/graphic card problems
  Then the screen goes black and shows "PCI Express Error."
  laptop was fine before the update to windows 7

  I asked around a few co-workers and it seems to reset/update of the bios, after the last update of weekend - update caused something to go an ironic on their laptops from Acer/Asus - again suggesting flash window button of the bios in a way
  I tried to download the update of BIOS 2008 (never updated again)
  The problem is that the program is very specific, you have to get off the load on a computer toshiba laptop in order to extract the files from the cd-rom/USB
  I tried to use the restore for vista disc - but as the bios is screwed all you get is the error message
  Does anyone have the latest bios update, which can be sent to me a laptop toshiba so I can try to run it from CD/USB to see if that solves the problem

  Or is it something more sinister?

  Why don't you try to solve this problem by using the System Restore tool at first? Maybe some optional update Microsoft has screwed up something.

• Qosmio G40-108 does not start

  Hi Gang

  I hope that there is some good buddies out there that can save a window double glazing to be mullared by that lappy.
  I had (Qosmio G40-108 with 4 GB of RAM) since August 2007. Everything was fine until two weeks about where it kept crashing during the execution of a couple normal progs that I use.
  After reading several messages from buddies with similar problems, I think it might be the PCI express graphics. Is this good? I can swap out? Or advice, blaggs, ideas or suggestions are very welcome. :)

  * Do not forget: there is always someone worse off than you... *.

  What exactly happens?
  Your Qosmio freezes simply and you must turn off or switches off without any warning messages?

• Qosmio G40 - no webcam with live Messenger

  Hello world

  I installed Win 7 on my Qosmio G40 instead of Vista and everything work fine except the webcam that does not work with live Messenger (only) no matter what I do (I tried several drivers, re-installed Win messenger live, close some processes, etc ;) I get this error message:

  '* Cannot start your webcam. "Check if it is not used by another program and retry."

  What the hell can I do to fix this?

  Hello

  I read a lot of discussions about the problems with webcam and messenger Ms.
  The problem with Vista has been resolved by the SP1 from Microsoft Update.
  Now, it seems to be that the same problem with Win 7 looks like a thing of compatibility

  However, because the message says that the webcam is used by another application, I suppose that some background processes lock the webcam

  You must remove webcam and messenger MS startup in msconfig.
  After that, restart the laptop and don t start the webcam software if you want to use it in Messenger from Ms.

• Qosmio G40 - 10Z - possible CPU upgrade?

  What processor can I put my Qosmio G40 - 10Z? I couldn't find a list and the motherboard is a "motherboard Toshiba" without a template or similar.
  I would like to change to a better processor, a quadcore would be well, is - it possible?

  My Windows 7 tells me to change the battery, but the battery is ok. Google says its due to Windows and could be solved by the BIOS updated. I have the newest
  Official home page. There is no latest BIOS available?

  Thank you

  Robert

  Hello

  I doubt that the CPU upgrade would be possible. You should read this article:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

  This error message is it exactly that you get Windows 7? Normally you get only a low battery notification, you need to Exchange or connect the power supply.

• Qosmio G40-108 - prevent recovery of product disc ask to insert the disc

  I have a Qosmio G40-108 and it works fine even if the disc is not read discs any longer, perhaps because of a motherboard failure that I replace the disk with a new of brans and it still does not work, but my problem is the following... I have the product recovery disc, I tried to copy it to a USB key and reinstall the OS from USB and the start of software loading a page with the logo Toshiba asking to insert the recovery disk into drive F: I can't use is more like it's broken. How can I prevent the disc from asking to insert the disk into drive F:? There are lines on the laptop recovery disk to install the USB without using the disc?

  I managed to install a generic Windows Vista 32 bit downloaded from a Web site and my serial key works with it, but I really want to reinstall the original software
  P.S. Recovery of product is for Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit and just in case there is also a serial number of the disk GMR400766ENG

  I don't have any experience with this, but I found an interesting article on creating recovery USB - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD4103KB0000R01.htm

  Maybe you'll be able to create the USB stick recovery. Check it out.

• Qosmio G40-12 s is not booting

  Recently my Qosmio G40 had a blue screen and poured out the physical memory, it took so long, I remember he stopped at 75%, then I restarted the laptop and came with the Qosmio logo, I spent my finger, certified, shows hdd1 unlocked and hdd2 unlocked and that is where it stops, never been spent there.

  I hooked the due to another system, but do not initialized because it is locked. Now I cannot access my information and cannot use my system.

  Please I need emergency aid. Thanks for the reply

  Hi John,.

  So for the time being, you are not able to start Windows, right?

  You can access the Windows Advanced Boot menu if you press the F8 key? If Yes, select Safe mode and try to start Windows.

  Additionally, make sure that both hard drives are recognized in the BIOS correctly. If Yes and Windows doesn t it starts, looks like that you have to do a Toshiba Recovery disk recovery facility because Windows is confused upward and can start to t.

• Qosmio G40 - 11 d - every 2-3 minutes freeze the system

  Hardware: Computer laptop Toshiba Qosmio G40 - 11 d, bios 2008, OCZ Vertex 3 SSD
  Software: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit all updates from windows update.

  Problem:
  Every 2-3 minutes freeze the system - to stop the disc - LED disc controller turned on all the time.

  I did the following:
  1. I installed the drivers of intel (iata_cd.exe) of http://downloadmirror.intel.com/19607/a08/iata_cd.exe
  2. I ran the ocz.reg script:
  Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetservicesi aStorParametersPort0]
  "LPM" = DWORD: 00000000
  "LPMDSTATE" = DWORD: 00000000
  "MISCONDUCT" = DWORD: 00000000

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetservicesi aStorParametersPort1]
  "LPM" = DWORD: 00000000
  "LPMDSTATE" = DWORD: 00000000
  "MISCONDUCT" = DWORD: 00000000

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetservicesi aStorParametersPort2]
  "LPM" = DWORD: 00000000
  "LPMDSTATE" = DWORD: 00000000

  "LPM" = DWORD: 00000000
  "LPMDSTATE" = DWORD: 00000000
  "MISCONDUCT" = DWORD: 00000000

  The problem has been eliminated, but not quite. Now, the system stops only at idle speed... (aflter - 10-30 min)

  Let me know what I do next.

  Hey Buddy,

  Have you noticed the same behavior with preinstalled Toshiba or did it only with your new SSD HDD?

  You might have to update the firmware of the SSD. You should check the official website of OCZ if there is a newer version. If Yes, start the update firmware and then check again if it works or not.

• Qosmio G40-10 s: graphics card problem

  Hello.

  I have a Toshiba Qosmio G40 laptop 10s with a Nvidea 8600 M GT grafixs card. I was playing a game when it locked up and pasted what I would describe as flashing red/green 'Matrixy' search screen.

  He then a blue screen and trys to reeboot.
  He tries to start windows, but once again the top matrix. If it loads to the top, it is in 16 bit color with red dots all over the screen.

  I am sure that the GPU is fried... and I was wondering what I can do? It's been 5 months out of warranty now.

  I read on some forums that there have been a lot of problems with this Nvidea card... Is there anything I can do outside my warranty period with what there is a possibly faulty card in it from the beginning.

  It will cost a lot of money to get it repaired, but its too good a laptop to let go to waste.

  Any help is very appreciated.

  Hello

  You also have these lines on an external monitor?
  If so, there seems to be a graphics card problem and it must be replaced.

  These overheating problems also occur if you use the nVidia display drivers directly. Toshiba drivers are pre-tested and don't overheat your system.

  But I think you need professional help. You should contact an authorized service provider and talk to the technicians. They will help you! :)

• Qosmio G40 - ALERT: System Protection failure

  I used my Qosmio G40 - Vista with no problems since I bought it in November 2007.

  A week ago, he started acting funny. Whenever I turn it on, I get a black screen with the following message:

  ALERT: System Protection failure
  Password =

  Now need a password...
  I had never put no password to the BIOS level, or the level of Windows, so there is no password I could enter.
  So I'm stuck, because the laptop does not accept the ENTER key without any password entry.
  I also tried standard passwords like "Toshiba" nothing helps.

  Can someone help me with this issue?

  Best regards.

  Hello

  To me, it seems that you are talking about BIOS password.
  First of all; There is no default password BIOS.

  I have no idea why the laptop asks you a BIOS password if you didn't put in the past, but the point is that it s is not possible to delete or modify the BIOS password without knowing the old password.

  In this case only the Toshiba ASP may be able to remove the password.
  So I have no other recommendation on contact an ASP in your country and by asking guys to remove the password.

• Qosmio G40; LAN adapters do not work and no Internet on AOL?

  Hello
  I have a Qosmio G40 notebook and am running Vista with Aol and a Speedtouch 576 everything was fine until yesterday, when I couldn't log on (error code 31).
  My drivers cannot load according to the error message and I can't check for solutions I'm obviosly don't have a connection.

  Have looked at the download section, I can't seem to find a solution.

  Any help is appreciated.

  Generally, the error code 31 says that a driver could be corrupt.

  Microsoft said:
  This device does not work properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)

  It looks more like a software problem!

  I believe your AOL software messed the BONES and therefore the Lan driver and the system doesn't work properly.

  Check the Device Manager before installing the AOL software.
  Do you see yellow exclamation points?

• Problem with BRIGHT. EXE in QOSMIO G40

  Hello and Hello,

  I'm a new user here at the forum, and I hope I'm posting in the right place :).

  I just purchased a Qosmio G40 well in March and I'm very happy with it, but 3 days ago, I noticed a problem with it, the BRIGHT program. EXE, that controls the brightness of the flat screen does not work (well, it stoped working), when I press the button in the Panel frontal operational, or use the FN + F6 or F7 combination, this does not work, windows indicates that the BRIGHT program. EXE gave an error but does not specify what error.

  Does anyone have an idea why this happens and how to solve?

  Best,
  Ricardo

  That's the problem! If you want to use the system restore then all settings (settings of operating system, installed programs, registry changes, etc.) will be defined at the point of time at the beginning!

  This means that you lose the programs that were installed after the restore point created!

  But it should solve your BRIGHT. Number of the EXE!
