• Noisy fan - fan starts 15 minutes after turning on the Qosmio F10

  My Qosmio F10 has always had a very noisy fan. The fan noise starts always 15 minutes after turning the PC on and stays of less regardless of what I do on the PC - even if this happens be nothing else!

  I tried to change the battary cooling method optimized in the toshiba saving settings in an attempt to stop the fan coming on but any change of setting seems to have no effect on the fan. I did a search on these forums and found a link to the utility fan - but the link now appears to be dead and someone somewhere else also suggested update but tv pilots who did not work or the other. Anyone have any ideas on how to make this laptop less noisy?

  It's all a bit frustrating saw I bought it to listen to music - and all you hear is the fan when the music calms down!

  Thanks in advance

  Believe me that it is not unusual that the F10 is a laptop with a high GPU and CPU. These regions produce a lot of heat and it must be cooled!

  Please don t compare mobile portable fans with the Qosmio. The Qosmio laptop properties resemble a PC and in my view a desktop PC is much stronger than the F10

• System freezes on my Qosmio F10

  Hello

  I am the proud owner of a Qosmio F10 - 2 years now. I had a few problems and cell phone is repaired but I have a problem again...

  When I play a computer game with a little higher than Solitaire system requirements, he works at all first for an hour and a half - that the image freezes, my USB mouse get not more power and my only choice is to close Notepad. When I try to play it takes ten minutes maybe - and then the same thing happens again.

  The third or fourth time that happened my BIOS is returned to the default values. But alone, without my order to make. But nothing has changed...
  I guess he gets to hot or something like that, but I only guess and I know before it has repaired the third time that this problem exists. Someone had a similar problem and know what to do? (Instead of going to the store where I bought it).

  Hello

  I have an update:

  Last night, while I was waiting for an answer here, I challanged my chance and I have not lost.

  I installed a tool called "Notebook Hardware Control" which can view log und properties of your laptop. No doubt more I would say that my CPU become too hot while playing - after a short time (a few minutes) the core reached a temperature of 80 ° and more and it's DEFINTLY too.

  What to do now? I tried to reduce the Voltage of the CPU, it works and my system has remained stable, but it reached 80 ° also... So I opened the laptop. Without any abnormality (important), I closed and went from disappointment and without any solution to the bed.

  Today, I'll try to play the same game again to see if the system has always crush or not AND I'll watch it.

• QOSMIO F10 and play games such as the XIII or the battlefield

  I have a QOSMIO F10 with XP Home Edition operating system
  I live in Iran. I installed a professional XP on my laptop too and most of the games that he is in Iran are cracked. I have problems with games. Some games load without problem these FIFA 2005, but some of them will not load.
  Once I installed XIII in standard mode and it will not load again I installed even play clean
  then it loads only once, and now even once it does not load.
  I don't know what I'm doing?
  Please guide me.

  Hey Amir,

  As you know, more recent games manufacturers use very sophisticated on their CD/DVD copy protection techniques and it is not always possible to circumvent these routines successfully.

  The effect of this is that the CD will not always load or run correctly. Some will complete the loading process, but will not then allow the game to run. Sometimes, the game will work but in reduced mode with no options available active game.

  Unfortunately I don't know any way to avoid this happening other than to try to get the real game CD if possible.

  Good luck with your game of :>)

• Qosmio F10 - where can I find the correct BIOS update?

  My Qosmio F10 has a mother of replacement of Toshiba with a Geforce Go 6600 GA and an Intel 915 chipset.

  If I understand well Toshiba manual support that this should now be designated F10 - R. I tried to update the BIOS to the latest version (2007) F10 but the update procedure he throws as invalid for this machine. A research on F10 - R shows nothing.

  Can anyone help?
  Thank you
  Adriandr

  Hello

  To be honest I have never heard the Qosmio F10 - R
  I think you should ask your authorized service provider again before we do something wrong. They can tell you what BIOS you need for an update.

  Also, why do you want to update the BIOS? This t shouldn't be done just for fun because this update is always somewhat risky and should only be done if you have a problem with your laptop.

• How to start IrDA by the BIOS on my Qosmio F10?

  Hello

  I have a Qosmio F10, and I read that the port IrDA does not start by the bios at startup, but by the operating system.
  How can I do to start my IrDA port with the bios at startup? Is this possible? Cause that will help you a lot

  Another question, yesterday I've post a message on the Linux driver. When I ve clicked on "post message" I ve got a message "this message must be approved by a moderator" but, I do not see my forum topic, but why yesterday, my topic was to be accepted by a moderator and today my topic doesn't have it?

  Hello

  It is not possible to make some changes on the IRDA port in the BIOS. If the IRDA port is available on the machine, the operating system can recognize automatically. As far as I know that the infrared port is always enabled for communication with the other device that has obtained permit port IRDA.

  How to connect to the service provider in Ukrain

  Hello

  It is always possible that some parts are not available at this time. It s nothing unusual.
  In my opinion, if the service provider has no parts in stock in Ukraine parts must be ordered form the Toshiba district or elsewhere.

  I remember that someone in this forum suggested that a graphics card was unserviceable and the laptop has been upgraded with a different graphic card better.
  You can contact the ASP in your country. The contact information you will find on the page of Toshiba:

• Qosmio F10 - devices USB is not recognized correctly

  Hello
  I had major problems with the USB ports on my Qosmio F10. Everytime I try to plug in a USB device, the F10 recognizes there is only something there, but always categorizes him as an unknown device. For example, whenever I try to attach a USB mouse, he is instantly recognizes her not, even after already spending in the Device Manager and manually install a driver.

  This has been the case since I bought the laptop 5 months ago, but I can't ignore it any longer.

  I have already tried:

  -uninstall all drivers and USB controller hub and reinstall
  -ensuring that the power save to usb devices was unchecked
  -check "install anyway" in the driver signing options

  When I open the Device Manager my USB key looks like this

  -Intel (R) 82801DB/DBM USB 2.0 Enhanced Controller - 24 CD
  -Intel (R) 82801DB/DBM USB Universal Host Controller - 24 2 Serial
  -Intel (R) 82801DB/DBM USB Universal Host Controller Serial - 4 of 24
  -Intel (R) 82801DB/DBM USB Universal Host Controller - 24 7 Serial
  -USB Root Hub
  -USB Root Hub
  -USB Root Hub
  -USB Root Hub

  Any help on this is much appreciated as its driving me crazy :-)

  Hello

  The entries in Device Manager look ok.
  If the laptop recognizes the USB device, so everything is ok. If the device appears as an unknown device in Device Manager, you need a driver in particular. Sometimes, the external device needs a driver that should be supplied with the device.

  I assume you are using the Toshiba Recovery CD. In this case then phone has pre-installed all the drivers needed and you don t need the 3rd USB controller drivers.

• Many lines appear on the screen of Qosmio F10

  Hello

  I have a problem with my Qosmio F10 screen
  I see a lot of lines on the screen. And I have to disable the VGA driver or run the screen by using the options below.

  I plugged the laptop with external LCD display, and the same problem appears!

  That's why am sure it is a problem of VGA card

  What is the solution?
  Should I change the whole motherboard? And I can't part used rather than buy a new one? Because it will cost me a lot! And where I can good.

  Another question, yesterday the screen was simply awesome! I don't know what happened, I just with leaves the laptop that works for about 10 min and when I came back, I found that it works very well. After the reboot, the problem appears again!

  Is it possible that the chip is (half broken) and could be fixed?
  Or should I get the new motherboard?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Unfortunately, it seems that the solution is not good cheap!
  Graphics card chip malfunctions and it seems that the whole motherboard must be replaced! The motherboard is one of the most expensive laptop outside the internal display parts.

  Sometimes the graphics card work poorly due to overheating and high temperature inside the laptop.
  In this case, it s always advisable to clean the cooling modules.
  This can be done easily by using the hose of the vacuum cleaner.
  But please be careful.

  But if this procedure will not improve the graphical situation then the graphics hardware is certainly defective and only replacement could help!

• Qosmio F10 - broken graphics card

  Hello

  I have a Qosmio F10, but unfortunately the graphics card is broken on it, if anyone knows if it can be repaired without having a new card mother 'expensive '!

  My warranty has expired at the beginning of this year so I'm worried about how much it will cost, all my personal files and data are always on it, so is it still possible to take down them with her still divided?

  I have power get sill on the machine, but nothing lights up the screen and the fan is constantly at full power.

  Hi Paul

  This is a very silly situation, I assume that you will not be able to repair the laptop without a motherboard replacement.
  Set the id of the graphics card on the mobo and it s not possible to easily remove it from the motherboard.

  If you want to save your data and files of ads please remove the laptop HARD drive and connect it to another computer via the external USB HDD controller.
  These external HDD 2.5 case are not expensive and you can buy it in every store of the computer.

• Qosmio F10 - noisy fan & replacement

  My Qosmio F10 comes up to 3 years & cooling fan now sounds a bit like an angle with a grinder knocked on the landing when it starts. Now this laptop has had 3 years of intensive use & abuse, sometimes running 24-7 weeks & despite all my friends to go through the changes of motherboards (& for them 3 times) I've only had to change the battery & hard drive.

  He always does everything I want it so I'm reluctant to immediately obtain a new & spend a lot of money that I don't have, if someone can tell me if its possible to change the fan myself, or at least clean up (I did several times without any problems on my Toshiba laptop not old to 6 years old several times since I found the instructions on how to disassemble it).

  Any help would be appreciated
  Thank you
  John

  Well, what to say I put t recommend disassemble the laptop because it may be damaged another aircraft or parts. This disassembly must be performed by a technician for laptop.
  But the fact is that the laptop everything must be removed if you want to replace the cooling module.

  Here on this website you can find an instruction how to open the cover of laptop Toshiba Qosmio F15. The F15 is very similar to the F10.

  But I think that a cleaning procedure simply would work too

• Qosmio F10: Cannot set up the TV Tuner!

  I can't be able to receive any form of TV on my Qosmio F10 signal.

  I tried a manual and automatic TV signal setup in Windows Media Center, while only connected to various points of antenna and my satellite receiver, but the software manages never actually receive any form of signal.

  I checked each of the cables works properly by connecting it to a TV, and there is certainly a good signal.

  All I can think is there is a problem with my Toshiba TV Tuner hardware (I uninstalled and rebooted to reinstall drivers TV Tuner), or possibly the adapter cable little.

  Someone else had this problem?

  Any ideas?

  Ok... No one has any ideas, then!

  Here's an update... I took my Qosmio F10 at the shop where I bought and showed them the problem.

  They were very helpful and offered to test their display machine. He struggled, but finally picked up a garbled from an antenna signal.

  They agreed that my Qosmio was wrong and pulled another out of stock. We decided to check quickly to see that another did not pick up a signal either!

  As they had no more stock, I agreed to take the display model at home, because we knew that it worked.

  Since then, I only managed to get for my Sky Digital receiver by manually telling it what channel it is on (68) and have not been able to set up anything via a terrestrial antenna!

  I have connected the original problem with the technical support of Toshiba, who said that it should be referred to their team of level three, who work office hours only. I have been waiting for four days for a response and am not a happy chappy!
