• Qosmio F60 overheating

  Hey guys, just a quick question here...
  Ive got a Qosmio F60 laptop and it seems to get very very hot, after 30 minutes of use (games or web browsing), there the base around 95-100 degrees Celsius temperature, and the laptop slows down to almost a crawl. Any suggestions on helping this?

  Hello

  Did ever clean you the cooling fans in the past?

  Especially dust lead to high internal temperature as the cooling module is unable to run with better performance.
  Also affecting the circulation air recommends using a jet of compressed air and blow air through the vents

• Qosmio F60 - 00Y slow/laggish

  Hello

  I have a laptop Qosmio F60 - 00Y which is usually very quick, but last night at around 10:30 - 23:00 (16th September Australian Eastern Standard Time) I noticed that he was behind schedule - scrollbar on Firefox "delayed" rather smooth, so I would scroll down and Firefox would freeze so during a few seconds and then I would be towards the bottom of the page accordingly.

  I did a number of things:
  -taking the battery out and put new
  -update the BIOS
  -vacuum the outside vents
  -restarted several times
  virus/spyware/malware - controls
  -uninstalled Firefox

  All this seemed to improve a bit but it's still not as fast than it was before. I uninstalled Firefox, because I remembered that it was updated yesterday - I'm not sure of the exact time and installed Google Chrome, which is faster, but other applications such as Windows Media Center are still quite slow. Minesweeper even slightly late.

  Processor: Intel Core i7 2.67 GHz
  RAM: 4 GB (2.98 usable)
  OS: Windows 7 32-bit

  The fan speed is a constant 60-70% according to Health Monitor, I don't know if this is normal.

  It takes more time to stop and start what he used, a minute to start and then considerably longer that usual to log and load all of the things that I start up, which isn't much.
  Applications take more time to load and trolling, same when I right click on some things it lag which I never had.

  I have no idea whether hardware or software. I tried vents because I haven't had that in a while and it gets a little dusty that I it does not move much. The manual recommends cleaning the cooling system every few months, I should try that?

  Thank you.

  Try the means to back the OS more early just to see if laptop will work as before. To do this use System Restore tool.
  You can find it under Start menu > all programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore.

  Please post comments.

• Qosmio F60 - HDD and BIOS issues

  I have a Qosmio F60. 1 months since purchase, and I'm having problems. I organize my questions for a better look.

  (1) if there is a new BIOS update, should I put to update mine? Mine is currently on 2.10, and the last is 2.50! And I know the change log, because I can't find it anywhere. : S

  (2) if I'm in the MBR, where there are two options (Windows 7, Ubuntu Linux) and I press the ESC key. The screen goes black, and the laptop fan is running at full speed noisy. The same thing happens if I reboot/hibernate Ubuntu. Also, this sometimes happen to the instance that I push the power button to turn on the PC, but this is rare.

  (3) my HARD drive creates serious noise. I think that all hard drives have, but I have to check if it is safe, and what could be the cause. The sound is little consecutive cracks when the HARD drive is reading.

  (4) the BIOS I found (2.50) is for the model no: PQF65-E, while mine is PQF65-L. I ran the .exe, and he identified my current BIOS without any compatibility issues. Although I don't actually flashed the BIOS, because I want to question 1) answered first.

  Thanks in advance

  Well, if you have problems, then an update of the BIOS can be useful.
  Here you will find an instruction how to do this:

  Sorry mate, but as I know Linux is not supported by Toshiba. So I can't say about concerns generally Linux could react a little bit different as a windows OS and of course the cooling modules could run differently also.

  (> 3) my HARD drive creates serious noise. I think that all hard drives have, but I have to check if it is safe, and what could be the cause.
  The sound is little consecutive cracks when the HARD drive is reading.

  In your case I would always back up data on another HARD drive or a disk to be always on the safe side.
  I mean the HARD drive can still die and it s better to have backups of backup.

• Qosmio F60 - decision to buy or not to buy

  I want to buy Qosmio F60, but I saw some people in the forum complaining abuot the noisy fan and the freezing of the system.
  Also, I read this qosmio F60 heats up pretty quickly.

  Some people also complain that the fan turns always.
  I wonder if Toshiba has solved these problems yet or not.

  Someone can help me to decide whether to go for Qosmio F60 or not

  Hello

  The heat dissipation depends on its portable use.
  Each computer or laptop would create more heat so high performance applications as games to perform
  The noise of the fan speed and fan also depends on the temperature
  By the way; in windows power management, you can control the CPU and the performance module that helps reduce the noise of cooling

• Qosmio F60 - overheating and FPS fall games

  Hello

  My Qosmio F60 gets very warm, while gaming and idling, for example, while the cores of game and GPU work around until 75-85Celsius, I don't know how they are idle, but my pumps STILL hot air fan, comparing to all portable computers friends, they don't pump hot heat games unless.

  Also while gaming, I get drops FPS while playing, even though I used to run a game on high 60 fps, without drops, now it's on low-head up to about 6 times.

  Help, please.
  Thank you, Harrison

  Hello

  Sorry but here a few questions to better understand:
  Are you using the original Toshiba preinstalled the operating system or your own version?
  Toshiba display driver you are using.

  While gaming laptop is placed on the desk?
  All vents are free?
  Do you use new games?

  Plan to use everything at stake?
  Do you use the maximum level on the graphics settings in the game?

  Have you tried playing with the power and graphics settings to see if the result will be a little better?

• Qosmio F60-100 - after that upgrade RAM screen goes black

  Hello world
  I upgrade my RAM a g-skill 2 * 4 GB 1066 Mhz DDR3
  I have a Qosmio F60-100
  I am on Windows 7 pro N
  I checked whether they have updated bios (the toshiba soft explain to me, that there is not an update available)
  I checked if the RAM were compatible with my laptop (these have been suggested to me)

  When I put the new RAM in the laptop, in "Starting Windows", the screen goes black and the fan works hard.
  So I'm not able to install my new RAM.

  These ram are compatible with my laptop?
  What is the problem?

  Thanks so much for all those who can help you.

  PS: English is not my mother tongue, sorry about that...

  Hello

  According to your Qosmio notebook specifications can be improved up to 8 GB. The comparable memory modules are:
  2 GB DDR3-1066-PA3676U-1M2G
  4 GB DDR3-1066-PA3677U-1M4G

  I don't know that references your RAM modules but the behavior described is probably as a result of the use of non compatible modules.

• Qosmio F60 - computer laptop freezes

  Hey!

  This is the FIRST laptop I've ever put and I loved. I got my qosmio F60 is almost a year and it has this annoying a problem which is the gel.
  Here are the specs: Intel Core i5 CPU M 430 2.27 GHz processor / / 6,00 GB and its operating system is 64-bit.

  This gel happen more often when I browse through videos uploaded like youtube or out of order in my games. In addition, this can happen when I open a single program. My screen does not black, it literally freezes my screen and all the entries in my keyboard or mouse are ignored. After that, my fan begins to spin wildly and it stays like that. Once I tried to wait for this purpose for one hour, but it has not solved anything. I can say that this happens usually a couple times a week and I often use my qosmio. Oh yes, one more thing, it is there sometimes random lag spikes for about 2-5 seconds that produce the same effect of gel and then it fades.

  I am convinced that I am free from virus and I don't remember downloading anything that can be harmful to my qosmio. It's quite annoying too cause I must manually restart my computer by holding the power button and it usually interrupts my school work or save the lives of my friends in a game.

  Please answer as soon as possible because I plan to send my qosmio to obtain compensation.

  Hi Dyboy,

  What operating system you use on your Qosmio F60? The version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba or your own installation?
  It might be useful to reinstall Windows using the Toshiba recovery disc.

  Generally speaking, it is difficult to say something about this error sometimes and so I would be to reinstall the whole system. If you can make sure that the problem is not software partner. Just take the recovery disc to do this.

  At worst he s really problem of hardware, but it s fairly new specifications model so if your model is under warranty, the repair is free. It is enough to consider an official service provider and let them search your computer. :)

• Qosmio F60 - 10J: black screen after XP Nvidia GT 330 M driver installation

  Hello

  On my Qosmio F60 10J, I installed windows XP on a DD of esata, I found almost all the XP drivers. XP works well, now...
  I downloaded GT 330 m XP drivers on the Nvidia site because the Web from Toshiba site, it's only for Windows 7.

  I installed these drivers XP of 330 m easily... but to reboot XP, after the XP logo, I have a black screen and a fan running at full speed.
  I tried to change the options in the bios, but it's always the same problem.

  You have an idea?

  Thanks in advance
  Franck

  Hello

  Seems that the driver is not fully compatible.
  Try the www.omegadrivers.net graphics card driver
  But note; Drivers Toshiba not in use ONLY at your own risk.
  As far as I know, these 3 third-party drivers are not configured for mobile use and this means that the GPU could overheat and damage.

  Hello

  All started having problems today with my Qosmio F60 - 00Y bought June 2010. I have an extended warranty but I wanted just a quick fix since the system is still operational.

  Because I lost my recovery to factory settings I can not reset my system.
  It works very well at the moment as long as I do not open two programs Intel RST, TOSHIBA PC Health Monitor.
  When I opened one, system decides to freeze and accelerates the speed of the fan and he stops the laptop. I did system restore several times too and same problem happens again.

  I reinstalled the two programs of:

  After you have reinstalled assuming, programs will run again. Same thing happens, hangs and stops.

  I do regular anti-virus and anti spy-wear check-up with trend micro 2012 and still active every 7 days and defragment the system every 7 days.
  No virus or spy-wear observed.

  Help, please!
  Thank you

  It is not easy to say how you can solve this problem.
  Try to remove any problematic applications, clean the registry entries and try to install it again.

  Hi guys.

  I have a TOSHIBA Qosmio F60 PQF65A-016002 and found no indication of how to enter the Bios.
  I put to level my 8 GB memory and it is not working properly when I insert the new memory, so I need to see the settings. Installation of HW does not show me what I need to know.

• Need serial key of Windows 7 for the Qosmio F60 - 10J

  Hi, I'm also in the same boat.

  Try to do a HARD drive recovery, but my post got renegade to the subforum "valorisation" (where no one responds to the month) even though I submitted it specifically on win7 forum.
  A link for those interested:
  https://Forum.Toshiba.EU/showthread.php?88336

  That's what I've learned so far...

  Option a. You have the recovery disk media or a partition:
  You're lucky and you won't need the product key anyway (it won't be asked during the installation it is 'embedded' kind of talk in image of toshiba).

  Option b. You deleted the partition or replaced the drive and does not follow the manual where Toshiba claims that should have backed up the recovery partition that you probably didn't know that you had in the first place:
  B1. Congratulations, you've reached 80% of the users of this forum which will remain unanswered!
  Here's my sanity check even if the product key was visible on your sticker it would still "invalid" since win7 iso doesn't work for 'standalone' keys then the key to your Toshiba is "pre-installed", i.e. If you do not use the installation of official manufacturers, the I am afraid to say, the key that you have already paid is well... useless!
  B2. But don't worry not toshiba has covered you! for an affordable price of 60 euros, they can send you the installation that you have already paid for.
  ... Wait there's more. Unless you don't have you can use the language option when you try to buy your recovery media. Perhaps, it is still ok if you are ready to learn to finish!

  Good luck ignoring!

  P.S. for stealth Toshiba employees here: never underestimate the damage that an angry customer can bring to your brand!

• Qosmio F60 - web browser SSL cecurity questions

  I have a Qosmio F60 with all SSL certificate custom web browsers and security loading pages, if I refresh the page a few times constantly it loads but then will be the question once again.

  I tried factory resetting the computer and the new facility, removed and reinstalled programs still the same issue.
  thought it might be the date/time settings that had been arrested, but if all 100% in the bios and windows.

  I thought that it is possible the RTC battery but the date/time settings are not change by themselves and everything seems fine, it would be useful to make a new battery rtc anyway?

  If anyone has any ideas that might help, please do this done in my head!

  Thank you all

  If the date and time is set correctly, you need not change the data and time but its recommended to load the defaults (F9) in the BIOS.

  Regarding the SSL certificate:
  First of all the certificate SSL / Digital certificates ensure the safety of websites by encrypting sensitive data and to verify the identity of secure Web sites.
  Usually, the site owner/administrator is responsible and must ensure the security of online communications.

  In my opinion, you must make sure that all your web browsers are updated. I use two main browsers: Chrome and Firefox. In my opinion the best browsers you can use today...
