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 F10 graphics card stopped working

    Hello
    I have a F10 (almost 3 years) which has suddenly stopped working last week. I took to a local computer repair shop and was told that it will be more than 450 of my English books to make alive again. Apparently the graphics card started badly, so I did some snooping on.

    Toshiba knows there F10 seem to stop working until they are 3 years old, if I called the card was will stop working so early, I wouldn't of spent almost £1400 first and spend another £450 leaves me speechless...

    Can someone give me a credible response as to why all these machines seem to stop working at the same time?

    Unfortunately, I cannot give a credible answer you but maybe authorized service partner. They need to know why this happen. Please, talk with them about graphics card on replacement motherboard. Maybe I'm wrong, but I heard that replacement boards have another and better graphics card.

    As I wrote, make a call and pick up information on the replacement.

  • 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! :)

  • Qosmio G30 graphics card does support video player Adobe Air?

    Qosmio G30 graphics card does support video player Adobe Air?
    As when I download BBC iplayer TV programmes that they always freeze when I try to read full screen mode.

    Hello

    Why you n t visit the Adobe page and see for yourself
    On the Adobe page, you will find info on all the need of hardware requirements.

    But to be honest, the Qosmio G30 is a powerful machine and strong performance.
    I think that it s not a problem of performance of the material, but maybe some software issue

    Maybe you should try to read downloaded using another player movie files.
    VLC Player is nice, small and free. It supports almost all possible file formats.

  • The Qosmio X 500 graphics card problem?

    I have a Qosmio x 500 since end of December 2010, and sometimes it will suddenly stop responding, give a black screen, then come back. After that, I get an error message saying that the graphics card has had a problem, but has recovered.

    I am also getting a problem when I leave it running, close the lid and come back some time later - 1 or 2 hours - to find that it will not be "waken upward" when I open the cover and I have to unplug and remove the battery to kill power before I can then reboot? Pressing any button does nothing except to put the lights on the keyboard!

    My X 500 does look under warranty?

    Hello

    I think that the error message is created by the graphics driver.
    I had a similar problem in the past on my old laptop from another production.
    This laptop supports the Intel graphics chip and I could resolve this install another graphics card driver.

    I recommend you first the version of the BIOS installed on your 500 X.
    If the most recent BIOS is available, try to upgrade to the latest version.
    In many cases, the new BIOS might resolve a reactivation of the questions.

    Update the display driver could be interesting as well

    After that, you could check the functionality of the laptop if the questions would not solve, you could get in touch with a local technician to ASP and check the laptop under warranty conditions.

    Dude good luck

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Qosmio F50 - graphics card may not be recognized under 64-bit Windows

    I installed the operating system Windows XP 64 on Toshiba Qosmio F50 - 10K. I have a big problem, because Windows XP does not recognize my graphics card (nvidia geforce 9600 m gt).
    I tried to install the drivers from the nvidia site, but once this graphics card still has not been recognized.
    It causes that, when I try to push and drag a window, I can see how it is re-paint.

    Could someone help me to solve my problem?

    Hello!

    I think that the problem cannot be solved. Toshiba doesn't support any laptop computer with Windows XP 64-bit because it is OS was not so popular.

    The only way I know is to use drivers from external Web sites and update your BIOS to the latest version. If it doesn't work, you must use another operating system.

    I think that the Qosmio F50 is really fast enough for Vista 64-bit. Try it and you will see too much work.

    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 F10-36: 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.

    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

    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.
