• Qosmio X 500 - 10U crashes without reason

  Before starting to explain the problem, some information on my laptop:

  Purchase date: 12/2009
  CPU: i7 Q720
  Memory: 8 GB: 2 x 4 GB (expand after purchase)
  Hard drive: 1 TB (expand after purchase)
  Graphics card: Nvidia Geforce GTS 250 M
  Operating system: Windows 8.1 company

  For 6 weeks, I have the problem, my laptop crashes without reason.
  It hangs only in the browser (checked with chrome, firefox and internet explorer, always the same).
  It crashes on sites with content video (youtube in particular, not quickly, but if I open multiple tabs with videos) and if I opened several tabs another.
  It weighs between 1-5 hours after using the browser (flash player is on the latest version).

  I do a forced departure to use the laptop again.
  It does not crash if I play games, convert videos, etc.
  Then things that highlight the laptop more surfing on the internet!

  While it crashes, I can move the mouse, but cannot open anything.
  If I look in the Task Manager, I see that CPU and memory work, but the use of the hard drive is 100% and it remains at this value, all the time.

  Although the drive hard ist at 100%, all the processes under it have 0%. I can't see it, if a program is the cause. The temperature of the CPU (40-60 ° C) and hard drive (35-38 ° C) is OK.

  So I read about the values of SMART with two different programs:
  [HD Tune Pro | http://www.directupload.net/file/d/3563/xorgtm8z_jpg.htm] and [GSmartControl | http://www.directupload.net/file/d/3563/ce54l6jq_jpg.htm]

  The values on the Calibration Retry Count, sector number reallocated, which are marked with warning and pre-defaillance if criticism which can cause a hard disk crash?

  The hard drive may be the problem?
  I've still warranty on this subject. Should I contact Samsung and send it?
  That would bring something?

  I think about to replace the hard drive with the samsung 840 Evo SSD, but if the hard drive is not the problem, I would have spent money for nothing

  What I checked again:
  -format and re-install: same question
  -check the memory with memtest86 + 6 hours: impeccable and no crashes during this time!
  -checked for viruses with avast at startup (with recovery CD): impeccable and always the same question
  -replace a MEMORY: same question
  -clean the old thermal grease and renew: temperatures decline a bit, but same problem

  I think that the problem is caused by the hard drive, but I'm not sure.
  What do you think?

  What can be the reason for my problem?
  I would be grateful all the lawyer.

  Maybe there are some conflicts between modules installed in browser. How about you, the security settings of the firewall or antivirus? Check if temporal deactivation could improve navigation on the internet?

  If you think that the problem comes from the HARD drive, I would recommend you replace it with an SSD. I did it in my book even if the HARD drive was OK. I replaced the HARD drive with an SSD and the improvement of the performance is really great!

  By the way: I now use the HARD drive as external 2.5 USB enclosure HARD disk. It's quite good for backups and other stuff.

• Can Qosmio F20 - I put the CPU?

  Can upgrade us our processor in the F20?

  Like all games that we need 2.4 GHz or more.

  You can upgrade the processor, but in your case I wouldn't have that.

  A newer or faster CPU produces more heat than it could perhaps not cooled cooling assembly. In addition, I doubt that the BIOS will support another CPU.

• No matter what game I play, sometimes it will go right on my desktop without reason.

  * Original title: any game I play...

  There is no problem, the game, but sometimes it will go right on my desktop without reason.

  Any suggestions?

  If the drivers are up to date, and there is nothing in the history of the reliability or the event logs, so I don't know in this case. But as a test, you can try to choose a theme that does not use AERO (i.e. turn off aero) and see if the games work then ok. Its pretty quick change and test and I read in an old post of vista that this didn't help anyway in this case.

  There is also the old favorite to try to run the game in a "clean boot" to see if it happens then. https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/KB/929135 not leave as the clean boot no matter what happens, only use it to test and restore normal boot later.

  I hope someone will have a better idea.

  Hello

  I get the blue screen of death after a stop on my laptop Qosmio F20.

  The error is IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.

  I guess that's somehow connected to the tv tuner card.

  I tried to restore the system - not good. After the restoration for some time, it was OK. But then again appeared BSOD.

  Sometimes, it also appears when I connect USB hard drives or even when I insert the DVD disc.
  And for shure every time I stop to laptop.

  Anyone have any ideas?

  Hello

  This is my personal opinion;
  I think it's a memory problem!

  Why, because it of very difficult to reproduce this error message and it looks like this BSOD happens without the use of hardware or special software

  I have gogoled for this error message and I had a lot of success!
  I read in various forums on this issue, and especially a fault memory has been one reason why the BSOD appeared.

  But someone suggested to disabled the pagefile... Probably, you should check out these tips:

  I'm not an expert but tuner not found message cannot occur without any reason. There seems to be some hardware related issue and has nothing to do with your home.

  If you are 100% sure that everything was ok a few days ago, I recommend you to roll back OS to an earlier time using System Restore tool. Please also check status of TV tuner in Device Manager? Is this all is well?

  Good chance that the heat is at least partially the problem.

  Remove ALL power and remove and reinstall the memory - in fact, remove and replace - do
  not just good warm. Make sure that the vents are clean and you can hear the fan sometimes work.
  Try using a small fan blowing in or on the vents to remove heat as a problem.

• For the last week or three Firefox updated two or three times for each update and sometimes for no apparent reason...

  For the last week or three Firefox updates two or three times for each update. Sometimes it refreshes without obvious reason. For example, I'll be in the middle of typing in the message forum block & it refreshes. Or by filling out an online form. Or simply viewing a page.

  You can check for problems caused by an extension that is not working properly.

  Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

  • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode without failure.

• Qosmio F20: Bad sound using the MSN Messenger & video transmission

  Hi all

  I recently bought a laptop Qosmio F20, who is currently connected to the Internet via a router/modem WiFi Netgear (DG834v2).
  I tried to use MSN messenger v7.5 (7.5.0311 and 7.5.0324) with a webcam Creative NX () to make a video call.
  But the sound of the person I'm talking to is so distorted, it is impossible to have a conversation (I tried with several of my friends, who all have good sound on their end).
  However, if I have an audio only (no video) conversation, I have a perfect sound.
  Despite my best efforts (update drivers, reinstall messenger, windows firewall ok for messenger etc...) I've had no chance of finding the problem so far. If anyone has any suggestions I would be very grateful.

  Thanks in advance.
  François

  Hello

  You suggested that the sound working properly without the video connection.
  In my opinion, it happens because of the webcam. Maybe the software has a bad influence on the sound.
  This is not a product of Toshiba, and Toshiba is not responsible for any 3rd party device.
  I recommend you to check the site of the manufacture of cam. Maybe you will find the solution.

  Hello

  Please check the BIOS!

  You can enter the BIOS by pressing ESC and F1.
  The CD/DVD drive must be in the BIOS.

  If it s not the case, then that would mean that the CD/DVD drive cannot be recognized by BIOS and possibly it s faulty.
