Qosmio F30-111 - graphics card problem

• 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.

  Hello

  Your description looks exactly like the rest of the population everywhere worldwide including laptops are faulty.
  I suggest you Google "nvidia defect". Welcome to the club...

• 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! :)

• Need systemboard Qosmio F30-111

  Hello

  I need a new systemboard for a Qosmio F30-111? (PQF30E-00Z00QDU). The video card is faulty. I live in the Netherlands and it is impossible to find a new systemboard. Can someone help me find one or more companies that can fix it like they do in the United Kingdom. In the United Kingdom, you have a company that can fix without replacing the motherboard (http://www.laptoprepair1.co.uk/laptop-vga-video-repair.html), but they only repair it for the citizens of the United Kingdom only.

  Thanks in advance,
  Charles

  Hmm, motherboards are designed specifically for the single computer series laptop and if you want to buy a motherboard for your Toshiba laptop you will need to contact the ASP in your country.
  Guys should be able to order it directly from Toshiba.

  However, you can view some websites like Ebay for a flea market.

  Good luck

• Upgrade Vista on Qosmio F30-111

  Hello world

  Thought IA´m, purchase a Qosmio F30-111.
  It comes with XP but I want to upgrade to Vista. Everyone set to upgrade to Vista in this specific model without any problem? I already heard that upgrading to Vista in some Qosmio models is a pain...

  Thank you very much help

  Hello

  The installation is easy, but don't forget to install the RAID driver first!
  Without this driver, you will not be able to install the OS on the HARD drive!
  But all the drivers are available on the Toshiba page.

  The new facility is more appropriate to replace the upgrade from XP to Vista because not all XP utilities are compatible with the new Vista operating system!

  Check it out.

• Qosmio F30-111: no sound after the update of the 3.40 BIOS & Vista installation

  Hello!

  I have a Qosmio F30-111, originally with Windows MCE and all devices works fine, but I made an update of firmware BIOS to 3.40 (before was a version 1.x).

  Later, I installed Windows Vista Ultimate and all devices has been recognized very well (with Toshiba Vista drivers), but the sound was not working!
  The situation was:
  -The sound device has been recognized;
  -The MIC works (but I can't hear it);
  -The speakers do not work!<- the="" real="">

  Now I installed the recovery CD and I'm new to Windows MCE, but noise have the same problem... is recognized, but the speakers do not work.
  I have no idea what to do... I don't know if it is possible to restore the firmware (I think that was the problem).

  Don't forget: the audio device works, the works of Media Player, but I can't hear the sound (Yes, the volume is high and is not dumb)

  Sorry for my bad English,
  Thank you very much!

  Murilo

  Hello Md2

  You can hear the noise if you plug headphones into the audio?

  If there is his helmet and then the audio device works well.

  If not, then disconnect all devices external usb and start a clean installation of vista (not upgrade, but booting from the vista cd)

  don't forget to put the RAID driver on cd or diskette or usb flash key before doing the clean install of vista.

• Re: Problem with Qosmio F30-140 VGA card

  Hi all

  My Qosmio F30 suddenly developed a green lines/pixels on the screen. The same problem exists even before logining windows.
  The card (nvidia go 7600) video under the device manager has a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark inside. I tried reinstalling the VGA driver, but nothing has changed.
  I think it is a hardware problem (GPU), but I don't know if there is anyway to fix it. Please notify.

  It's certainly the hardware problem. What you can do to confirm this is to connect external monitor to your laptop to see if the same thing will happen. If so, the GPU is defective and if not display's troublemaker.

  What you can do to solve this problem? Not much. Material exchange is your only solution.

• 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 G40 - update graphics card

  Hello world

  I know it works has already answered in October 2009, but I have a few not 100% course info on the upgrade of the graphics cards. Now I have a qosmio g40-10 with nvidia geforce 8600 with 512 video memory. Because this card is purely not enough for the high-end gaming today, I want to update at least 1 GB of video memory. Like many people here, I tried to find some information online but its just waste of time. I asked in each PC store in my town this topic and 60% of them responded that it is possible, but it will cost you so.

  They could not tell exactly witch card should take but logically it will be nvidia series that were used by Toshiba manufacter, what I'll do I will find some young model of Toshiba nvidia cards and will just try to adapt it. Logically that laptops Toshiba chassy is almost the same, of course mounting screws can be different, but ultimately, it's a project. The only problem is the motherboard, I heard that this motherboard is unable to accept certain graphics cards.

  If you have some info on this please let me know.
  Also different (highest card) coz, there will be cooling problem so if you have ideas to solve heating, please share it with me.
  Thanks much adrian

  Hello Adrian

  I guess that you know very well that the possibilities of upgrade on mobile units are very limited; especially GPU or CPU upgrade and laptop manufacturers offer don t any kind of support. Because of the design specific common problem for mobile units is cooling system. More performance means more heat and more heat, compromised of portable computer hardware switch or damage.

  Manufacturers of portable don t support cela and don offers t any helpful info about it. GPU upgrade in my opinion is not a good idea. OK, you can do with your laptop that you want and play a little bit, but I'm afraid that your project is too risky and will not end with success of m.

  If you need a more powerful computer I think it's time for the new portable computer with more powerful hardware. What you think so.

• Qosmio G30-137 - video card problem - the bug of vertical lines

  Hi members,

  Today my Qosmio G30-137 started to make trouble showing vertical lines that look like this:

  ''''' ''''''' '''''' '''''''
  '''' ''''''' '''''' '''''''

  After having used the product Windows disk recovery could not start early and came up with a blue screen with the error code:

  + failure of page in the nonpaged area STOP 0 x 00000050 (0xC09C3044, 0x00000000, 0X804DA90AA, 0 X 000000002) +.

  Basically, this indicates that the RAM - memory Cache L2 or preserved is dead. But I also learned that the graphics card can be smoked.

  After the blue screen, you will not get the system to normal operation, no matter what you try.

  I strongly advise to check if your Qosmio is under warranty and see your reseller for Exchange. Fortunately I bought mine 2006/06/06 so its still under warranty (even if only a left view days).

  Additional information: another Member of this forum has had a similar problem and noted that the entire motherboard must be changed causing costs of USD 700.00 and more!

  I will let you know what I found myself with.

  The Q

  Unfortunately, this sounds like a serious problem of material as other members suggested, the GPU (graphics card) may be defective and therefore replacement is necessary.

  The point is that the GPU is soldered on the motherboard and it of not possible to remove the graphics chip of the card. In most cases, the entire motherboard must be replaced to solve graphic problems.

  In my opinion, you should contact your ASP as soon as possible.
  Technicians should be able to help you to explain the situation and to issue and ask for later handling.

  Good luck buddy

• Qosmio G30 - nVidia graphics card failure

  Hello

  as the title says my graphics card went kaput on Qosmio G30, who is 14 months old.

  I read in some places that could be the problem with the generation of nvidia graphics cards.
  Does anyone have any info on this subject because I have just quoted entre.6 and 1.8 k for what fixed it.
  This graphics card is separate from the motherboard or this prob will result in a new motherboard. If anyone has any info I would be very grateful, thank you, thomas

  PS for some reason that I could not connect with my username (yetchh) original so had to create a new account, have no idea why?

  Post edited by: yetchhh

  Hi Thomas

  That s a pity :(
  Especially the GPU (graphics chip) is attached to the motherboard. He welded s and replacement is not easy.

  There are several Lepidoptera, I called the ASP in my country because I needed some info on replacing the CPU on my old laptop and the guy said that the replacement of the CPU or GPU is not easy and is not possible.

  Well, what to say I think you should contact the authorized service provider in your country for replacement of equipment.

  But I wonder why you come in on costs?
  The laptop is about 14 months. If you have registered your laptop on the Toshiba page, you should get a 2 year warranty which should focus on the laptop.

  So all pieces of equipment should be replaced for free.

• 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.

• On the Satellite 5200 903 graphics card problem

  Deploy a 5200-903 Toshiba Satellite. A few days ago, I have a problem with the display. All scratches and other
  unknown elements on the screen. It's the graphics card (FX GO5600). Read about it in other forums.

  My Question: Is it an embedded chart? And what do you think, is it profitable to change the broken component?
  I mean if the graphic is on board, I have to change the motherboard together.

  Thank you very much for your answers!

  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
