• Qosmio g50 screen does not

  I have a Qosmio G50. This morning when I turned on the screen has come for a second or two, has shown the Qosmio logo, then deleted. I spent the morning trying to solve the problems. I removed the bezel and checked that the sons were not cowards.
  I've attached another screen of the laptop that works fine.

  Sometimes the screen, so I don't think that the problem is the screen itself.
  It will be displayed for about a second if I close the lid, and then open it. He will then blink for a second and then drain.

  Also sometimes if I start with the other attached screen, the laptop display indefinitely.

  Anyone have any ideas? It might be the button that turns the screen on and off when the laptop opens / is close, but I don't know where to check.

  PS: The filter of profanity on this forum is total garbage. As if I was not quite frustrated without having to cut and paste my post paragraphs trying to isolate a few expletives ghost.

• Qosmio G50 - Windows does not shut down without memory stick inserted

  I have a Qosmio G50 running Windows 7. The pc does not stop unless I have my USB stick inserted. Without the USB, I can tell the pc to stop. Without the inserted stick, the pc will say that it stops and remains on the screen closed for 10-15 minutes and then restart.

  However, as soon as I put the USB into the USB port, the pc will stop within 2 seconds.

  It is not easy to understand the situation and explain why this happens.
  Qosmio G50 is not latest model cell phone, so I can't imagine that this strange question comes on the first day.

  Something like this can be done with the factory settings. The configuration, preinstalled software, background running applications and processes on your Qosmio OS are not known to us is not easy to help you with this.
  Somehow, I think that something running in the background blocks of the system. Unfortunately, I can't say what that would be.

  Check a bit.
  By the way: have you noticed the behavior even if you try to use standby or hibernation mode?

• Qosmio x 300 closed down while in game

  Hello

  I purchased a Qosmio x 300 about 5 months ago and when I play game it keeps closing.
  Well I know its an overheating problem and it stops to
  protection, but I bought this machine to play games and that's why I paid pretty well.

  An Advisor on what I can do to fix this stupid? (I already applied a base with cooling system, windows open to cool it better tryied, * everything * but same problem)
  All its drivers are Toshiba has not installed anything else.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Well, overheating can be caused for different reasons.
  Is that all devices such as the GPU and CPU are running with a yield maximum everything at stake.
  In this case, there is a higher heat dissipation which leads to a higher temperature.

  Usually, the internal fans should be able to cool the CPU but dust and debris inside the laptop can prevent cooling modules work properly.

  So maybe the laptop overheating due to dust?
  In this case I advise you to buy a jet of compressed air and to remove dust and debris.

  Good luck

• Qosmio G50 PQG55A: NVIDIA driver - update or not

  Hello

  Thanks in advance for anyone who can help.

  The short question is, should I update my NVIDIA driver from 175,90 (as shown on the Web from Toshiba site) to the Version: 186.81 WHQL as suggested by the NVIDIA site.

  The long version follows...
  My Qosmio G50 (PQG55A-04J01Y), running under Vista 64 Bit, crashes intermittently. It is sometimes good for more than a week earlier, sometimes once or twice a day.

  I was quite thorough with virus and malaware controls.

  Everything seems to stop, even if the mouse still works.
  I have to turn off the PC, sometimes reboot Check Disk runs and corrects errors.

  Windows Problem Reports and Solutions comes with the following:

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  A problem with the NVIDIA graphics driver
  NVIDIA Graphics Driver has stopped working properly.
  An update of the driver, as appropriate, could prevent this problem does not happen.
  There are several ways to find and install the driver updates, but it's best to let Windows do it for you. Try the step below, which describes the process. If it does not produce a driver update that resolves the problem, try the remaining steps in the order shown.

  1. search the optional third-party updates
  2. try to manually update the NVIDIA Graphics Driver
  3. check the NVIDIA Corporation Web site for driver updates
  4. check the Web site of the manufacturer of your computer for driver updates

  If NVIDIA Graphics Driver was preinstalled on your computer, check the Web site of the manufacturer of your computer for driver updates.

  How can I find the manufacturer of my computer?

  1. updates of Windows are perfectly up-to-date.

  2. when I try to update driver I get the message;

  However...

  3. when I use the NVIDIAs tool to automatically search for updates, I get the following:

  5. but here on the Toshiba site he says nVidia NB9x Display Driver true display VISTA 64 Bit 18/05/2009 7.15.11.7590 51,35 MB

  That is to say, the driver I have already.

  So... should I install the latest driver or not?
  If not, is there anything else I can do?

  Thank you very much for reading all this and thanks in advance for any help.

  > Short is, devrais I update my NVIDIA driver from 175,90 (as shown on the Web from Toshiba site) to the Version: 186.81 WHQL as suggested by the NVIDIA site.

  Generally, you must use the graphics driver downloaded from the Toshiba driver page.
  The graphic card driver from the Toshiba page has been tested and it s certified by Toshiba.

  The common graphics driver nVidia is not designed for laptop and that's why these drivers don't support a protection against overheating.
  Driver Toshiba done!

  So using the page nVidia graphics card driver can be risky and could overheat your GPU so the use of 3 third-party drivers is always at your own risk!

  I have thin you should stay with the driver from the Toshiba page

• Qosmio G50-129 PQG55E - 64-Bit Windows 7 updated - update the BIOS?

  Hello

  I have a Qosmio G50 that I've upgraded to Windows 7 64 bit. My BIOS is unupdated for 6 months when I bought the machine.

  I went to update the BIOS, just to keep things updated, so I went through the pilot Online Assistant:

  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  And all information entered above, it provides:

  http://Support1.toshiba-tro.de/Tedd-files2/0/BIOS-20090312131718.zip

  After having unpacked and P0060v210.exe running, he extracted, and then said:

  "The [error] BIOS update is not taken in charge of operating system. No support for operating system or service pack is installed. "(Word to all my friends of Googling!).

  Toshiba has an update of the BIOS for the Qosmio G50 is supported on Windows 7? Specifically for the 64-bit? They need to fix this glitch which orders to download this file when it is not clearly supported by Windows 7.

  Also, I tried to run it in compatibility mode with Windows XP SP2 and it worked fine - but I was nervous about going through the update if it didn't initially support Windows 7, so I do not continue to the next prompt. Is it safe to do? Has anyone else in this situation he does without problems? I read the BIOS updates can go horribly wrong, if not careful, so I hesitate to update the BIOS by performing the update in compatibility mode when it doesn't support Windows 7 on its own!

  Thanks in advance for any help and Merry Christmas.

  Hello

  I agree with bljuzga_1.
  Because the BIOS is independent, it shouldn't be a problem with the update using Win 7 OS.
  The error must be linked to your installed Win 7 OS and not the BIOS bug.

  It would also be possible that your value added package for Win 7 is not installed correctly.
  This package contains the TOSHIBA components common driver which is an essential component of the Windows operating system. He will have to make the other original programming TOSHIBA works correctly.

• Qosmio G50 129: can it be used/accessed by other DLNA products?

  Hello

  I have a Qosmio G50-129. I am looking to purchase a DLNA Certified TV but wanted to know if the laptop is compatible DLNA so that I can access the contents of my Qosmio on the TV or if it was all I needed to do the Qosmio "DLNA compatible?

  The http://www.dlna.org/digital_living/product_types/#pc_frame site advises the following:
  "Personal computers (PC).
  One who has a PC knows that they have powerful network capabilities built-in. Thus, their DLNA Certified potential is determined only by the type of software installed on them.

  DLNA Certified PC are able to act as a Digital Media Server (DMS), Digital Media Player (DMP), Digital Media Controller (DMC) or digital media converter (DMR). Most of the PC available today start with be certified as a DMS, since many of us keep most of our digital content on our PC. »

  There is also a section of research and correspondence on the site that does not have my model Qosmio. This mean that I can not, or is there a solution/work around for this?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  REkha

  As far as I know that any PC with a NIC (Ethernet or Wi - Fi) can become a DLNA device by installing DLNA software. In January 2010 the DLNA started a software certification program.

  As far as I know Toshiba will offer the new application in the future and make it more comfortable to use DLNA. Must be an interface for Windows Media Player.

  For now, you can try to use the standard features of Windows 7 which should be available in Windows media player (supplied with Windows 7) 12.
  To be honest I don't have any other DLNA device and can not test it, but very quickly I want to buy DLNA player Blu - ray with integrated WLAN and want to have access to my PC and watch movies on TV but portable saved on HARD drive.

  So look for some info on the DLNA on Windows media player 12 service and see how it works.

  Please be so kind and inform us of this.

  My Qosmio G50 cpu temp seems normal 35 ° C, but when I open the Download Manager after beginning everst sometimes show constant 70 c never never falls if student even I left inactive for a few hours.

  I wonder if this temp is correct and can cause the dmg or its software fault and calculates wrong because I hear no noise or any fan.

  Hello

  70 c are nothing special and it s normal behavior that the CPU temperature would increase if the CPU performance increase.

  AFAIK the CPU is able to last a temperature of 100 ° C.

  Regarding the 3rd party tools;
  These tools are not tested with different sensors so it of really difficult to tell if the temperature has been successfully read
  But if the temperature is too high then the laptop would be closed automatically to prevent damage of material form
  If the laptop still works so I guess that the temp is too high

I put books together in the same room, the other get the qosmio 300mbps varies from 1 to 81mbps or more.

  -Does anyone know what goes wrong or what I need to change something in the Device Manager? I heard that many other intel WiFi 5100 owners also do not receive the speed of 300mbps.

  can someone help me?

  Have you tried turning off modes of 802.11g/b/a by assigning "802.11n only?
