• 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! :)

• (Redirected) Alienwire 51 x R2-graphics card problem

  Hello

  I have a technical problem with my computer that I bought there is little more than 2 years. Here is the information from the computer.

  Model: Allienware x 51 R2

  OS: Windows 64 bit 8.1 English

  After that I bought the computer April 2014, I don't have any problem for 2 years. The April 2016, while I was working on my computer screen went black and I was not able to restart the system. I could reach the disk usb startup win 8.1 System. But screen was flickering and don't allow to choose the 800 X 600 resolution and a single graphics adapter were visible which was generic graphics adapter.

  There was no any sign of my graphics card info which was AMD R9 270 x (supplied with the system). I installed the drivers of graphics cards using the disc supplied with the computer, after that I removed all the old graphics drivers. It did not help.

  I format the computer, clean Windows 8.1 installed and doesn't recognize card no. I improved the Win 10 and installed the latest drivers from its website graphics card and I had twinkle, screen frozen again. I thought that AMD R9 x 270 has been broken.

  I bought a new (PNY GeForce GTX960 XLR8 1178 MHZ 2 GB GDDR5) graphics card and installed it. It worked very well with no problems for about 2 months. Just 3 weeks after the victory. 10 did an automatic update, I had the same problems that I had before with AMD card, screen flicker and there was no sign of graphics installed in my system, resolution 800 X 600 and one graphics adapter were visible which was generic graphics adapter. Now I can't use my computer once more.

  If anyone could lead me on this issue, I would be grateful.

• Update Nvidia Graphics Card options Office Aurora R4?

  What graphics cards are compatible with your desktop Aurora R4 bought in April 2013?

  I currently have a Nvidia GTX660 installed.

  Also should I update the Bios for a new card? -I don't particularly want to do this.  BIOS is currently version ao7

  Hello Alette60,

  You could go to any card video out there on the market, the key to success is that your computer has a power of 875 w.

  Now, the BIOS needs to be updated, it is really important. They have only two things that could happen is that your computer will not restart normally, in which case you just need to drain the power (unplug the power cord to the back of your computer and press on and hold button power for 30 seconds) and then turn it back on. The other problem is the internet certificate error, in which case you just need to make sure as the time and date on your system is up-to-date.

• Graphics card problems or...?

  I own an Alienware M14x with GeForce GT 555 M graphics card recently, when I play games like usual, I discovered that the fps of continuous to fluctuates with a huge drop in fps for a few seconds. I have tried many means to stop him, but none of it worked. Is there a problem with my graphics card? How can I solve this problem?

  Thank you much for the help.

• HP Pavilion P6 2055sc: Cant enter BIOS because graphic card problem.

  Hey!
  So for the moment, I try to turn on virtualization, I m able to boot the computer into windows but do not enter network boot (anti-spam f10 key before the HP loading screen) but because of the past problems, I struggle to get into the BIOS.
  It all started when I got a new (Asus Geforce GT740) graphics card and this caused my computer not being able to start, without forcing in the network boot.

  But like I said, when im trying to get into the BIOS, it gets to the screen where it says "Press Escape to access the Boot Menu" which, at that time, it ignores when I press ESC.

  I tried holding it, I tried all the keys F1 - F12, but nothing makes a difference, so im wondering if there is a way for me to get into the bios and work around this problem.
  I looked for so updates to the BIOS, but I couldn't find one so far.

  @alilleland, welcome to the forum.

  The reason for which the computer would not start with the GT installed 740 is, it requires UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard BIOS.  If you always use the GT 740, I suggest to withdraw to see if you can enter in the Boot Menu.  You can do that by typing the ESC key as soon as the computer begins to start.

• On the Satellite 5200 903 graphics card problem

  Deploy a 5200-903 Toshiba Satellite. A few days ago, I have a problem with the display. All scratches and other
  unknown elements on the screen. It's the graphics card (FX GO5600). Read about it in other forums.

  My Question: Is it an embedded chart? And what do you think, is it profitable to change the broken component?
  I mean if the graphic is on board, I have to change the motherboard together.

  Thank you very much for your answers!

  Hello

  It's look like that there is a problem with a graphics card. Can you check connection of the external monitor to the laptop?
  The graphics card is integrated into the motherboard, therefore, you need to replace the whole motherboard.

  It is quite expensive, and sometimes it is better to buy the new computer

• Qosmio G40 - 10F - graphics card problem

  I bought my laptop in 2007 and now have a problem with the video card 8600 m GT (vertical or horizontal lines show and get a message on the GPU).

  After reading a few similar posts, I think I have to replace the motherboard, rather than just the graphics card.

  My problem is that I don't know what motherboard I have or what I need to upgrade to.

  Can someone help me, because I'd like to get this operational return.

  Thanks in advance.

• Satellite A500 - 149 - graphics card problem

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A500-149 and last week my screen has scratches ace.

  The grapichs card is ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650.

  I send the computer to Toshiba yesterday but I need feedback because a repair. If the same graph as problem could cost to repair?

  Anyone know?

  I think that no one here can help you. Either is defective graphics card or screen may only.
  In any case, if the GPU is defective, it will be quite expensive.

  I think you should contact Toshiba service and ask what is the result of the diagnosis and how much you have to pay for the repair.

• Satellite L650D - 15K - graphics card problem

  Hello

  I updated accidentally driver graphic card ATI Radeon 5650 on the laptop, and then during the games and video look, the computer became very slow, the CPU usage is average on 60%.

  I uninstalled the latest driver, reinstalled the driver of my module provided on the Toshiba site (not the one on my computer, because I can not find where it is), but the problem remains, I don't know if the driver from the Web site is the same as on my laptop. It seems that there is some driver files that cannot always be deleted entirely. If I reinstall the whole system, I install and activate the software.

  Can someone tell me what should I do now?

  Thank you.

  Have you installed the latest driver ATI support page or the Toshiba download page?

  I mean it is recommended to use the Toshiba drivers only. I can't say this but I've heard that installing the non-Toshiba drivers can change some important values in the GPU BIOS.

  Of course, you can reinstall the recovery image and begin to use the laptop with factory again.
  It will be interesting to know if everything will be like before again.

  Back up all your important data, reinstalling the OS, test it and thanks for posting comments.

• Equium A60-155: ATi Mobility graphics card problem

  Hello

  I have a laptop Equium A60, recently I am getting error informing messages than the "display driver ATi2mtag has stopped working properly.
  I have reset my machine as told to do the error dialog box. Reset works fine, but the laptop crashes to the desktop, when turned off and on again once I get the Safe Mode screen.

  I reinstalled the driver for the graphics card several times, and the error persists through safe mode. The returned error and trying to open in safe mode, the machine flashed a blue screen of death, too fast for me to read, even applied for each of the available options. I was unable to cross this safe mode selection screen.

  As a last resort that I reformatted my laptop, using the Toshiba CD recover but the error persists, with regular driver display and the actual machine crashed.

  Since the reformat, I reinstalled the display drivers, and the problem persists.

  I downloaded the drivers from this site and the problem is still there

  You know a possible fix or solution to this problem? I am a competent enough and user of computer knowledge, so do not be afraid of getting technical in your response.

  Thank you

  Hello

  This problem occur immediately after the operating system starts or after several usage time?
  If this issue occurs after a several time of use, so it could be an overheating problem.
  In this case, you should check the cooling modules. Check if the fans are working properly.
  Try to clean it with the vacuum cleaner.

  If this doesn t solve the problem if you maybe there is something wrong with the graphics card and you will need to contact Toshiba service for assistance.

• Qosmio F30-111 - graphics card problem

  Hello

  My laptop does not show any other resolution than the usual text resolutions (starting).
  The laptop is almost useless with this problem.

  The problem occurred when playing a computer game in the resolution of 1280 x 800 regular graph (for windows).
  The screen went black, but has no power lost. I had to restart from power button / stop.

  Windows XP (from toshiba) gives a blue screen after the splash screen during startup.
  Also, I have Linux and Xorg reports a fatal error when starting driver NVIDIA, so I cannot use the computer in mode terminal linux, no X mode. But I can still use Linux mode of expression and access to all files.

  When I start the screen also has a strange color mode. In text mode, many letters is brighter than others. This happens in installation mode and Terminal in Linux mode.

  Other strange things things I noticed recently, that is the FAN makes noise more now due to the temperature higher CPU (2 to 3 weeks).
  Sometimes reaching 100aº C (which has never happened before). In recent months, the laptop was still in the Office at home.

  I bought the computer round of June 2007, is still under warranty (2 years in the Portugal), and I registered it on the toshiba site.
  Currently, I live in Poland. Can I retrieve my warranty in Poland and try to solve the problem here? (I'm Portuguese).

  Hello

  Looks like the graphics card began to malfunction.
  Therefore, you must contact the ASP as soon as possible.

  I think that you can contact the ASP in Poland to help him, because all laptops are covered at least 1 year international limited warranty carry-in.
  As the name says it of a international warranty and if the warranty is valid the ASP in Poland should be able to help.

• Qosmio F10 graphics card problem

  About 11 months after I bought my Qosmio the graphics card no longer works and I couldn't see anything on the screen.

  I contacted Toshiba and they fixed it under warranty.
  About 6 months later, he went again and told me that the warranty on the repair had expired.

  I was quoted around 350 pounds to repair both.
  It was about 3 years ago.

  He sat on a shelf since then.
  Before I give him a decent burial, is now a more reasonable repair?

  Hello

  To my knowledge, dysfunction of the graphics card is a serious hardware problem and usually the whole motherboard must be replaced.
  I m not very good if the GPU could be removed from the motherboard in your case, but according to your message, the fix would cost £350, so I guess that the motherboard must be replaced also

  Well, it s your decision what you want to do. is this difficulty and to spent £350 or perhaps to buy a second hand of the internet auction platform motherboard or sell this laptop and purchase another unit
