Qosmio F10 Boot Screen problem

I have an old book Osmio F10 2 years everything has gone wrong. I used the laptop last nite and was working fine. This morning when I turned it on, I heard a rattle of hard drive noise, so I refused and turn and he was still making the noise. Yet once I stopped it and to my surprise it wasn't beyond the Qosmio logo screen. Its saying an error #O IDE. I tried using the recovery disk but it says worng machine. In my view, is not regonizing my hard drive. I have documents important lots in my drive hard and do not want to lose. I really don't understand what is the problem.

Your answers are appreciated!

Sorry to say, but it seems that the HARD drive is crashed. Error IDE #0 is a bad sign. This means that the machine is unable to initialize the HARD disk. The rattling designates only the heads likely to be damaged.

If the files are very important to you, you can send the HARD drive to a data recovery specialist. They can the data recovery, but it will be expensive.

Remember that a HARD drive should never be invoked. They have mechanical parts and may crash at any time. It is important to back up your data on CD/DVD/USB/SD/Tape on a regular basis.

  • Qosmio F10: Monitor screen looks like a photo of Andy Warhol

    I currently have problems with my screen resembling a picture of Andy Warhol. I resorted to pass through the product Recovery DVD-ROM for my laptop Qosmio F10/G10 in the hope that it back to the factory would solve the problem but it didn't.

    The screen falls down after the Windows Welcome screen, leaving me with my office all Andy Warhol as (i.e., blocks of colors pixelated on the edges of the graphics). I tried to reset the resolution which has solved the problem to an almost acceptable level, but on a temporary basis, because the problem reappears again when I re - start the laptop.

    I think it's something to do with the Windows Multimedia operating system that came preinstalled on my computer (so no recovery disc). The reasoning behind this assumption is that I put a DVD movie in the media which is part of Windows XP and the film is a video of Andy Warhol.

    I put the same DVD in the WinDVD which came as a content of Toshiba and the DVD is perfect! My reasoning is that if there was something wrong with the hardware of the laptop, then DVD playback all programs would react in the same way, but as they do not, there are programming (or operating system problem).

    I'm on the right track? Is there a way to solve the problem via a downloadable file?

    Hello

    The comparison with the image of Andy Warhol's very funny ;)
    However, I recommend you first connect the laptop to the external monitor to check if the same images will appear on the second monitor and run the DVD with Media Center.

    I don't know if it has something to do with the BONES of Mr. for me, it looks like a malfunction of the graphics card, but this is only a suggestion.
    Have you tried to update the graphics driver? Delete the old and try to install the latest version available

  • Qosmio F10-36: drive problem HARD and Qosmio player installation

    I bought the Qosmio F10-36, made in Germany for the Russia and CIS. After that 6 months, it was repaired due to problems with the motherboard, it was totally changed in the video card and now there are problems with the hard drive after the start of the very slow work computer and finallly collapsed.

    We had to format the hard drive and you must now install the player, Qosmio, which was also removed during this work.
    How we achieve this, I'm too far from the nearest service centre.

    frankly I am fed with this qosmio upward!
    If any chance that I would go back to toshiba filled like never such problems before.

    In my opinion maybe call and ask why this happen just to hear what they have to say about it.

    In any case, I recommend you to follow:
    If possible, back up all your data on an external device, such as USB key or HARD drive
    The first installation with recovery CD Qosmioplayer delivered Qosmioplayer
    When finished install OS using supplied recovery DVDs and you'll have the factory again settings

    After this check the unit carefully to make sure if there is just like before.

  • 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

  • Qosmio F50 - light screen problems

    I bought my Qosmio F50 less then one year in Croatia. The first day I turned it on I already have problems.

    When the laptop has been marketing, before the BIOS startup screen, lines and weird models appeared on the screen and computer laptop itself blocked, then restarted.
    This is is spent every 4 - 5 times I turned it on, sometimes during restart also.

    Also when I had a black wallpaper, in the middle of the screen we saw as if the screen was dirty, lines that are on the screen that are not dirt or anything else you can clean.

    Finally, after some time, I sent the laptop to the service and they said that the graphics card had gone wrong. Then they replaced. I also mentioned on the lines of "dirt" that can be seen when a darker background was on the screen. They replaced the graphics card, but they said nothing on the lines of "dirt" on the screen.

    Now, a week, I have problems with the screen. Brightness of the screen is going crazy, for example when I'm on the web, the screen becomes a little darker and brighter and darker and brighter, and it goes like this very quickly. And it does that when I surf the web. Sometimes when I watch a film or do anything.

    Its amazing, the Qosmio gives me so much trouble.

    When I sent my laptop last time to the service provider in Croatia, they were extremely rude and they have not solved all my problems. They also said that the graphics card gone bad because of the improper use of the laptop, due to overheating or so. But this is not correct since the first time after I bought the laptop and turned on the lines before the BIOS screen appears.

    I have returned the laptop the next day, but I did not. Now that I have problems with the brightness of the screen going crazy I'm not sure what to do.

    Any suggestions would be welcome.

    Thank you.

    > Now that I have problems with the brightness of the screen going crazy I'm not sure what to do.

    Well, I think you should contact the technician of the ASP again and should explain your problem and should say that this behavior strange screen still persists and that it has not been resolved in the first attempt.

    One of my friends owns a Qosmio F50 (don t know exactly the model number) and he is very satisfied. It of really a large notebook supporting many different multimedia functions and he didn t notice graphics problems or screen.

    As I said above; get in touch with the ASP to get the verified material.

  • Qosmio F10: black screen at startup - no. Toshiba screen

    Help

    My F10 is completely blocked and no longer works. After booting, the screen remains black and the fan starts to run madly, after a while the sound of toshiba happens but nothing else happens. No windows, nothing, only the fan running wild of the laptop.

    Before this happened I shut down the computer normally. We have about 26 or 27 degrees celsius in our office today, but I did not record any overheat in my computer. Something strange: I signed up for a few days, that after you start, only the toshiba sound came but no symbol of toshiba on the screen as usual.

    My question is: what can I do?

    Hello

    If the laptop cannot ignore the Toshiba screen so it must be something wrong with the hardware. Maybe the motherboard.
    But I'm not sure. I think that some diagnostic tests are needed to say what harm exactly.
    In this case, the only thing you can do is contact the Toshiba service partner in your country.

  • Qosmio F10; White screen at startup

    About a week ago my laptop starts with the screen does not. Strange! Everything seems to work fine, power lights on the hard drive whirring away etc but nothing Visual. After having read the manual I touch FN key and f5 and the screen appeared. Now there is however a noticable difference in the quality of the image. (Fonts appear blurry) Each time cell phone lights up I no longer get the graphic qosmio that appears and the screen are black for about 30 seconds before desktop appears. I also noticed that when I ran the Qosmio presentation a white band about 50 cm wide appears upright to the bottom of the right side of the screen that looks like a vertical taskbar. Notepad is just 10mths old still under warranty and with "very little high"especially used for wireless internet access. Any help would be welcome, thanks in advance.

    Your Qosmio seems mode clone (tv + tft).
    Right-click on the desktop. go to display properties. Last tab on the right. Select the proper resolution.
    Then press "Advanced" on this tab. Go to the tab 'Geofrce FX5700' select Nview, then select 'standard' instead of Clone. Press on apply.
    It should solve your problem.

    Or easier, I've just thought about it, press Fn + F5 until the selection is only your TFT screen.
    Later,.

    Hello

    As far as I know, Toshiba does not support and does not all drivers vista for Qosmio G, G, F10, F20.
    The Vista drivers are available for G Qosmio F30 laptop
    Therefore, you will not be able to find common modules and others on the download site Tosh.

    The needs of Vista and wastes many resources of the laptop! File, the picture transparency and the Aero feature needs min on 256 MB graphic card, fast CPU and min 1024 MB of memory.
    Here are the requirements material min!

    But you should also check if the transparency of Vista (Eye Candy, magnifying glass effect) has been activated!
    To enable or disable this effect do this:

    1. right click on an empty area of the desktop
    2. Select Customize from the context menu
    3. click on window color and appearance Option
    4. check if you want to enable transparency or not.

  • Qosmio F10-100: startup problem - the system protection failure

    Hello

    A few days ago, I started my Qosmio QF10-100 and an error, it says:

    Alert: System protection failure.
    Password =...

    I 'google' the error nothing helps, the solutions are not compatible with this type of laptop and I'm not going to pay someone to fix it if it's just a simple password.

    I would like to know what is the default password, because I'm 100% sure that I have not put it, or if there is other ways to restore. My guarantee is only from 2004-2005, it is out of the question.

    Looks like a rare problem, hopefully it's fixable.

    Thank you
    Matt.

    Hello

    For me, it looks like a BIOS password has been set. Maybe I m wrong, but in my opinion it should be set a BIOS password or maybe a drive HARD this password which is hard to say.

    Unfortunately, if you n t know the password you will not be able to start Notepad :(
    But buddy don t worry, the local ASP would be able to remove a BIOS password.

    No matter if you warranty is valid or not. You should contact the guy in your country and have to ask for help.

    I'm not sure how much it would cost but I n t thinks it might be expensive.

    Goodbye & good luck

  • Qosmio F10 is always hot

    Hello

    I have a Qosmio F10 and my problem is that the fan runs all the time because he's hot. "I am obliged" to the low and fixed frequency to solve that. But in normal mode it heats up, even if I only surf on the Web.
    What should I do?
    You have an idea?

    Hi benlog

    To my knowledge, books are of high technologies and machines of many parties in the products of the unit a lot of heat. For example: graphics chip. I put t now how you use the laptop but it is recommended to use it on the desktop. On this way, the cooling fan can work properly. Secondly, a lot of background processes running on the device. Processor must therefore operate with higher performance and produce more heat.
    Moreover, my machine is also fairly warmly.

    Best regards

  • Screen with a Qosmio F10 problems

    Guys, I have a very cold sweat and Im panicking on my laptop!
    It crashed on me and he couldn't do anything, so I turned it off. I came back to it a few minutes later and when I tried to turn it on, I get a black screen with as white on the screen axis-bands. I don't know if the laptop itself is wrong or just the screen. But I am worried, sick and trembling like a leaf here!
    Please help me!

    My laptop is a Toshiba Qosmio F10
    bought mid-2005 for about 1.5 years

    the screen is just weird. Black with vertical pin strips.

    No, I have not installed a new software or hardware. I was just working away in Word and Photoshop when he went AWOL. So I had put out of service.

    Hello, Karen

    There is certainly a hardware problem and I'm afraid there is nothing you can do alone. You can test it with an external monitor to see if the problem persists and check if the problem occurs due to faulty display or graphics.

    Believe me, the best thing you can do is to contact Toshiba authorized partner in your country. Let them test your defective hardware for laptop and Exchange.

  • Qosmio F30 starts with blue stripes during Vista boot screen

    My Qosmio F30-114 runs for years without problem with Vista Ultimate.

    In recent days, there is a huge problem.

    The Qosmio starts with blue stripes during vista boot screen.

    So I deleted the driver for the graphics card and used the standard vga driver for the card. the wizard of material found one driver on the system.
    For a brief moment, I was very lucky.

    After a reboot, there was a blue screen. After the next restard again once the driver to the standard vga card.

    What can I do?

    The download section of toshiba has no drivers for graphics card.
    And really... I wonder - how it works every year without problems...

    Someone at - it a solution?

    thanx

    toshibalover ;-)

    Hello!

    First you have this problem on an external monitor too or only on the screen internal? Maybe it s is not a graphics card problem so check it with an external monitor.

  • Green vertical lines then white screen on Qosmio F10

    My Toshiba Qosmio F10 primer is more. When it is on, the windows logo appears and the screen green vertical lines before going completely blank. The screen remains blank for about 5 minutes, then the laptop starts to restart. It justs goes on and so forth.
    No one knows what the problem is and now the laptop is out of warranty, cost for repair, or it is not profitable and it would be cheaper to buy a new laptop?
    Thank you
    Mike.

    Hey Buddy,

    Unfortunately ' unfortunately it seems that this defect is caused by component defective equipment.» It could be that the motherboard together that cost to a service center about 400 European must be replaced. (New card mother and Exchange)
    You can also try to clean your cooling system with a can of compressed air to remove dust which could probably cause the error, also.
