If your Qosmio G20 I slow-> check your fan!

Hello

I found my Qosmio G20 to be incredibly slow, especially in the e/s (HDD) operations and also in games.

Games like CS, Battlefield 2, etc got very low fps, I tried to reinstall the OS, new drivers, detonator, tweaking drivers drivers and finally I installed Vista.

Of course, I thought that vista would improve performance and there are no, however only at this stage, I accepted that this laptop is quite obvious horrible for game purposes, which I thought was kind of weird, because she is a "multimedia" with 2 GB ram, 200 GB raid-0, 2.13 ghz pentium m laptop geforce go6600.

I know the 6600 is not high-end, but it should support the cs: s, etc.

A few days ago, my laptop suddenly turned off while I woke up in the morning (I let it run 24/7).
Then on Friday, he started the turn off self while working on it: S

It's when I installed a HW monitoring tool and saw that the CPU had a temperature of 111 degrees celsius!
I swapped the battery of performance profile to save battery and it has lowered to 106 degrees celsius.

Now, I'll just send the laptop to the service, such as when it was purchased 3 years extended warranty, as well as the on-site repair has been paid for.
I was however unable to get contact with support on Friday.
In any case, you fan might be bad, even if it does not vibrate.

I'd install HW monitor tools if you get the same symptoms, very slow, slow IO uninstalls, installs, etc. Especially under Vista.

Hey Olav Alexander

Thanks for this information
You are right. Qosmio G20 is a portable high quality with great performance. I tested this unit and played a lot of games. The performance of the game were lavish; I didn't notice the intermissions of any graphic or speed

That's why I think he had a problem with your laptop hardware, as you say the temperature has risen to critical levels and this can be caused by the defective cooling module. The performance of the computer laptop and games down automatically if the temperature is too high because the CPU can't run at full speed. It is a normal state.
I guess after the fan replacement or cleaning, the laptop must be running as should be.
Don t worry dude the technician will perform a work ;)

    The fan speed will be automatically controlled and you can t change this or manually control. You can change the method of cooling between performance and battery optimized in Vista power management. Did you check that?

    In addition, you can clean the laptop using a jet of compressed air as Akuma written. This could blow out the dust from the cooling fans.

    There are new drivers for Qosmio G20 with Vista installed.

    Right now, it's Nvidia Video 169,25 version of the driver for Windows Vista.
    No blue screen after installing this driver, at all.

    It s 2 GHz speed and 2 GB memory.
    Thank you

    Hey Buddy

    You slow startup and startup has nothing to do with the HARD drive space.
    Your laptop could start slowly, due to a large amount of processes that run in the context of the operating system!

    What you could do, is first the msconfig and disable unnecessary applications in the Startup tab.

    Use some applications cleaning CCLeaner (tool free) i.e. to clean the operating system and the registry. Last but least could not defragment the HARD disk to improve performance.

    See you soon

    It is hard to believe that the Qosmio G20 may have some problems with the saving screen graphics and slower running.

    In any case try check the energy saving settings and the use of the processor to maximum power. Check also running a process in the Task Manager and stop all unnecessary processes running. Don't forget that antivir application doesn t do any disk HARD analysis in the background.

    Now reinstall drive does not load correctly.
    If a page comes up saying installation is not complete.

    > I checked the ram and hard drive and there seems to be some errors.

    How did you check that?
    Have you used a new test strips of memory and the new HARD drive?

    To be honest, I don t think that your HARD drive is affected. The vertical dotted lines, could be more related question of graphics card in terms of the HARD drive.
    RAM question could also be possible, but I think that its GPU.

    By the way: you are able to access the BIOS?
    Turn on the computer and press F2. Then leave the laptop in BIOS for a few hours to check if some problems arise.

    Hello

    Have you plugged an external monitor to the laptop? Maybe it s something wrong with the display internal and so you can see anything on this subject. It s worth a try because you can check this in a few minutes.

    But I guess that it s a hardware problem with the display internal and/or mainboard or something other than your laptop must be verified in professional people, they can disassemble the laptop and exchanging parts of equipment.

  • Qosmio G20 - recovery system without CD player?

    Hello everyone.

    I have a Qosmio G20 and the internal DVD player does not work.
    I have the DVD of recovery also, since the DVD player does not work I am not able to start with DVD recovery with the recovery.
    I also have external DVD drive but Qosmio does not support external USB disk to start.

    Is it possible my system recovery without having to replace my internal DVD player.

    Concerning
    Knockaert

    Maybe if you start your laptop in the BACK and load the driver BACK for external device. With full access to an external device, maybe you'll be able to start the recovery procedure.

    To be honest I don't understand why you don't want to replace the optical disk drive. Qosmio G20 is so old and parts are more expensive. Check eBay and you will find many drivers for Toshiba laptops.
    Replace the drive and be happy. It is not so great investment.

  • Qosmio G20 - XP doesn't see second HARD drive, but the BIOS is

    Hello

    Mylène for the long post - but think if give good info, I poss of correct answer:

    After the crash of QOSMIO G20... managed to reinstall of XP Recovery DVD-ROM. Immed after, looked at the config with Win Explorer and two hard drives all present and correct. even copied a picture of my images on the D: drive, just to make sure that all aok.

    Then downloaded SP3 and tried to install - it reported failure and then shut down the PC. After attempts to get again - until finally resorted to reuse the Recovery DVD-ROM.
    Come back XP again - but now, while the BIOS sees two hard drives (reports size, Fab details, etc.), as far as Windows is concerned, it does not exist.

    Tried to initialize in disk management - no sign there.
    He was then released, put it in a shopping cart, connected to the office and initialized and formatted - then returned to mobile... zilch!

    Your kind suggestions and recommendations could save just the remaining strands terrified of hair of a violent end...

    A lot of TIA
    Logis

    Hello House,

    Normally, if the BIOS recognizes the HARD drive, but not Windows, this means that the HARD disk is not formatted, but it must be visible under the Windows disk management.
    You see it now?

    If not it is not easy to say what the reason are you should try load default settings in the BIOS and save it. Then start Windows and check if HDD is visible there too.

    In the worst case, it s that a malfunction of the HARD disk controller, but what you can test if swap you the two drives and put them in another location.

  • Qosmio G20 - restore settings factory

    Hello

    Basically I have a Qosmio G20 and here is a brief history of the problem: -.

    (1) Started to get a cooling system warning, after some time the computer turns off.
    (2) stupidly, I ignored the warning system cooling and after a few weeks the computer would start is no longer.
    (3) computer is out of warranty so it took PC World UK for diagnosis.
    (4) PC World says have found 7 viruses (which they said they removed) and said there may be a hardware failure, but they couldn't be certain until they had restored the factory settings for the computer to work properly.

    The problem with restoring the factory settings, this is even though I know that the hard drive is not actually deleted, I'm worried that he would make a few programs and inaccessible files.

    All I want to do is start the Qosmio once while I can:-

    (A) launch Mozilla Firefox and export all my favorites so that I can then load into my new laptop
    (B) export all my Outlook Express emails and loading them in the new laptop.

    With (A) above, I think the only way I can get bookmarks from Mozilla is to launch the program and then use the export option, it doesn't seem to be a way I can just scan hard drives for bookmarks setting the file and back to the top. And as for B), I did a scan of the hard drive and I found the 'dbx' Outlook Express files but when I imported in the new laptop there are a considerable number of missing emails.

    So my questions are:-

    (1) if I restore to factory settings, does this mean that Firefox and Outlook Express would more appear in my programs?
    (2) if not, can start the computer using a Windows CD, and then launch Firefox and Outlook Express directly from the hard drive?
    (3) or, if I plug the hard drive on another computer, you know the exact files (and places) so that I can get all my emails and settings of Firefox?

    Any advice would be appreciated!

    (> A) launch Mozilla Firefox and export all my favorites so that I can then load into my new laptop

    This isn't really a problem. Bookmarks could be saved on external USB flash.
    You can find the bookmarks in your profile in
    c:\Documents and Settings\ [your user name] \Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    There should be a folder called bookmarkbackups.
    You will find the latest bookmarks from html files.

    Here you can find the FAQ about Firefox. Check * better

    (> B) export all my Outlook Express emails and loading them in the new laptop.
    You can save the mails too.
