Qosmio F50 - weird theyr then freezes

Hello

I have a Toshiba Qosmio F50-108 for about 3 months and all of a sudden, now brands laptop a few strange noises (like whistle 2 times) one of them freezes.

After that restart using the power button it works very well for about 4 days and then again the same problem.
I thought that maybe it's specific software I have spin, but that is not the case, that the laptop freezes even if I am not under what either. I also ran some anti virus and the laptop is clean.
Also, I checked with memtest and everything is fine if it was bad memory.
What do you think is the problem? Bad hard drive?

Thank you
Panas

Of course you can try it with the Seagate tools too.
The Drive Fitness Test is just one example or let s said one of the many programs. I know only the Seagate and the Hitachi Test.
Other programs are know for me but if you find another post. I'm interested in it.

These tools are unable to solve the problem. If the HARD disk is defective or not, they can only diagnostics. If you get an error, you need to replace the HARD drive.

    Hello

    May I ask what OS are you using?
    Is this Toshiba pre-installed Vista OS or have you installed Win XP?

    From my experience the iaStor0 for the SATA driver file belongs and maybe it s a HARD drive problem

    Have you changed anything in the BIOS?
    Maybe something like SATA to AHCI mode compatible mode?

  • Re: Qosmio F50-126 - freezes when it is on battery

    * everybody *.

    I bought my Qosmio F50-126 it there a few months to 3 years international warranty. There is something about the book that really irritates me-* THE FREEEZEE *.

    I noticed that when I watch a video on any player and any format, the computer all freeezess * for 1 or 3 seconds and takes * one * but the interesting thing is that it occurs when running on battery *. He runns like a dream when running on the sector with the battery charge. * IL UNBELIEVABLY boring *.

    When your in the movie and the lights are turned off and your in your bed hot comfly. The ENTIRE computer freezes with audio hopping. This happens only for 1 or 2 seconds but it occurance is * RANDOM.* COMPLETELY if the laptop is in the mood to watch the movie it freezes only 2 or 3 times, but sometimes he just get on my nerve.
    I disabled my kaspersky and other runing random process. Please help me!

    * Only for the note: happens that freezing only happens when running on battery *. This help Oh-hope

    I found that my HARD drive on the laptop light don't which often flashes when on battery and the playback of the video so it's not load time the reason... also... SAME RESULT WHEN I LAUNCHED THE HIGH PERFORMACE, BALANCED or power saver - actually powersaver is * _the WORST... Good bye... PLESE HELP ME OR MY LIFE IS DOOM_ *.

    Hello

    I have never heard of this issue and I must say that my Qosmio F50 really works great without any problem.

    It's not easy to say what is the reason, but you use the factory settings or you have installed your own version of Windows? Normally with preinstalled Windows should work without any problems.
    In addition, it would be interesting to know if you have installed a display driver not Toshiba. These drivers can overheat the system and damage the graphics card so make sure you use the display on the site of Toshiba driver.

    Last but not least, you should check the mode of cooling on battery mode. Maybe you don t have a maximum cooling on battery and overheating of laptop mode. You can resolve this problem if you clean the laptop using a jet of compressed air and always the value of the maximum cooling performance.

    Good bye

  • Qosmio F50 - freezes when online

    Did not work exactly how or why, but my Qosmio F50 - 12W running Vista, randomly freezes when I'm online, on my ZTE MF622 Mobile broadband.
    I see a bit on the Vista gel on Google, but none of this makes sense or solves the problem. It is very annoying because it can happen unexpectedly and at any time.
    I have modified the registry, cleaned and defragmented the hard drive.

    I look forward to your replies

    John

    Hello

    This only happens with this Broadband Modem or WLAN/LAN connection internal too?

    I have too many Qosmio F50, but I only use WLAN and LAN connection to connect to the Internet. Both works pretty well and I don't have problems with this laptop amazing. Also, Windows 7 runs correctly on it.

    In any case, make sure that you have installed the latest driver for this modem and connect with the making of it. Maybe it s is not compatible with the laptop or the software isn t working on Vista

  • Weird problem with Qosmio F50-108 - power power button

    Hello

    I have strange problem with button / stop on Toshiba Qosmio F50-108 - pressing the power button won't start the computer. Now, the computer starts only when I press the first button to the right of the power button (Toshiba button Support).

    It's as if the buttons have been activated. The power button is still able to stop the laptop or put on standby when you press on, but it no longer starts. Recently, I had my laptop on the service, but I put t know if it has been opened or not. Is it possible that the problem is hardware related or is - this serious just of system configuration? It would help if I Flash the BIOS? Otherwise I will take to the service again.

    Thank you for the answers!

    Hello

    If the laptop was on the service, please call them and explain the situation. Start button / stop is only the button that can be used for the specification of switching on and, as far as I know, it cannot be changed with certain parameters.

    I assume that there must be a contact problem.

    Call and see what they say on this subject.

  • Little help for a Qosmio F50 and win 8 is required

    Hello

    I have an old Qosmio F50 and since he still has enough power to manage Windows 8 I decided to give it a try. What I did is a clean install of WIN 8 x 64 pro and I used a mixture of various models of Toshiba drivers and third parties. The results were not bad, since everything works except for a weird thing.

    Specifically, I used:
    -Drivers of the Chipset V, 9.4.0.1022 directly from Intel.
    -V with Toshiba HD processor driver, 1.0.2.71
    -Enecir v. 2.7.4.1 drivers
    -Realtek High definition audio drivers R271
    V battery Bluetooth 8.00.12 (T)
    -VGA Nvidia 320.49 drivers
    -ALPS V8.x0.303.206 drivers for the touchpad
    -Camera assistant software v 1.7.260.0526L (a bit unstable and settings reset every now and then, but always functional.) The most recent camera app couldn't handle the old Chicony)
    -Everything was provided by Windows Update.

    And finally, I used:
    Toshiba 1.00.6626.06 function key, cards Flash 1.51.8.2C (version b) .and v.1.3.3.64 SpecApp.exe (aka the button support)

    The only problem I have is with the touch media buttons. While working as it should and I can remap them with the SpecApp.exe very well, they do a crazy thing:
    Sometimes, as well as the proper functioning of the button will open also calculator of windows which is quite annoying. I tried many things including the search in the registry, but I couldn't find a way to solve it, so if someone could help that would be great.

    Other than this problem, everything works just perfect, including all FN keys.

    Thank you for reading and if you have an idea I'm all ears.

    It is always a challenge to such experiences as new installation OS on an old machine and unsupported. Let's see if someone else with the same machine had success with Win8.

    Anyway, there is always something that will not work correctly. The key is that most of the stuff works well, so if you will not be able to find the solution for touch buttons, in my view, that it's not so bad.

  • 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.

    Hello world

    My Qosmio F50-126 only 65% in fees, then the display will begin to Flash continuously when it reaches 65%, and when I remove the charger the display no longer flashes.

    What is the problem?

    Help please

    Hey,.

    What light display do you mean exactly? Do you mean the light of the internal screen itself?

    As Akuma writes, this problem could be related to an old battery because they are consumables itmes and after a while or use it must be replaced.

    New battery, you can get for example authorized service provider.

  • Problem on the Qosmio F50 - 10Z card reader

    I had this problem for a while, he started with the original OS Vista 32-bit, so I decided to buy the cd to upgrade toshiba for windows 7, after the update level, everything worked fine, except for the card reader, regardless of how many times I have installed/uninstalled, installed the driver, it wouldn't work!

    So I used the recovery cd, not once BUT TWICE, and nothing helps I sent to repair.
    I received a message on a piece of paper telling me that it would work on the original operating system, I thought that they had something fixed.
    Then I used the recovery cd AGAIN and to my excitement thrown short to see any yellow explanation points I put a micro sd card (2 GB) that worked when I bought this laptop first and got no response.
    The biggest problem is that my warranty is now closed!, so basically, I've been HIT MORE, cause the memory card slot does NOT WORK and it wasn't a software problem!

    Any reccomendations?

    Hi karimtarek,

    Which driver version you are using on Vista and Windows 7? My Qosmio F50 is running Windows 7 and I m using the version of the driver on Toshiba page 1.00.29.02.
    You use the same version?

    In addition, it would be interesting to know if the SD card has worked once you have received the notebook service center back. Have you tested before or did you start installation recovery immediately?

    Have you tried different brands of SD cards? I always use the SanDisk Extreme cards because they did not no problem.
    In addition, you could try updating the BIOS. Maybe this works if you are using an older version

    Last but not least if it s does not always work and you think that it s a hardware malfunction, ask at the center of service again. If you speak a bit with technicians, maybe they can fix it as a gesture of goodwill.

    Good luck! :)

  • Qosmio F50-10 b and win 10 update

    Hi all

    I'm under Win 8.1. 64 bit on my laptop Toshiba Qosmio F50-10 b and I'm having problems in upgrading my OS to win 10. View Upgrade Advisor I can not upgrade because my NVidia 9700 M GTS graphics card. What would cause problems as giving advice to my screen.
    Then I would ask if someone whit the same problem and what could be the solution. It has to do with the age of my laptop (6 years), with drivers of graphics cards, or with new microsoft OS srecifications? Toshiba will do something on it or its place at Microsoft and N Vidia to solve the problem?

    Thanks for reading this

    George

    I can't talk to you much the upgrade of Windows 10 on this model of laptop because Win 10 is not released now... it takes a few days before the official release of Windows 10...
    Also, I guess that after version 10 of Windows, the manufacturers of devices (e.g. nVidia) will release Win 10 drivers too...

    But it is pending if your graphics card will receive the drivers Win 10... We'll see...

  • Qosmio F50 - the hard drive recovery?

    Hello

    I had a very big problem.
    I've made a few changes with my Vista regs and then I was unable to start again.
    So, I started the recovery program (second HARD drive), backed up my files and selected whole HARD drive recovery.

    Well, now problem - everything was going well, but when I walked into the Vista installation I had to shut down the computer.
    Now, when I start up the pc and load Vista I message I need to reinstall my computer again.

    Well, they say nothing about how load the recovery file but I have no option for this - only emergency mode, with the support of network, etc., but without recovery emergency. Moreover, when I select emergency mode, I can't load Vista-it says I need to run the Setup in normal mode, which told to re - install. Yep, circle-_-.

    Model: Qosmio F50

    Do you think that when I erase all the Vista disc manually - for example with linux, and then start the computer, I get a possibility to load the second part of the drive to start the installation?

    Thanks in advance because I'm really despair

    Hello

    > So, I started the recovery program (second HARD drive), backed up my files and selected whole HARD drive recovery.
    I'm a bit confused of m.
    How do recover you the laptop?
    Have you used the Toshiba HDD recovery option which could be launched by pressing F8, select fix my computer-> Toshiba Recovery?

    Usually, it is a procedure how to start the Toshiba HDD recovery.

    I guess you didn't create a recovery Toshiba drive in the past is good?
    It was a big mistake buddy because the recovery disk would help you in difficult situations

    Well, as I said above; You can try to start the HARD drive recovery. If this will not help you I think that you would need a Toshiba Recovery disk.
    You can order it here:

  • Qosmio F50-12 b Win7 64 bit driver problems affects Fn, Power Saver, Tablet

    Hello

    I have Toshiba Qosmio F50 - 12 b. initially, I have Vista Ultimate 32 bit, then I refresh installation of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit...
    This is the problem,

    I installed all the drivers for my operating system and the computer, but I can not installed or activated FN key, TouchPad, PowerSaver of Toshiba and the keys palpable above the keys of Func/digital as Dolbly, Media Center, Forward, Backward, Mute-, lights-touchpad on - off utility.

    ? also tried vista 64 drivers for these things, but nothing works to them.
    I tried auto updater Toshiba win 7driver tool (tsi4win7.exe), but nothing changes.
    I need help on this situation... Is anyone know how active these utilities, in particular the FN keys and touchpad!

    Thank you...

    I hope that the Toshiba support my voice up and help this time :)

    Hi mate

    The 64-bit value Wi7 package and Support of Flash memory card utility must be installed.
    Flash Card Support utility controls the FN keys and you should install it, after installation of VAP.

    Also the media control buttons should work after the installation of the package value.

  • Qosmio F50 - 10Z Bios Update crashed - how a cmos reset?

    I have a Qosmio F50 - 10Z and prompted by toshiba I downloaded the Bios Update and started to install.
    My screen saver came and it crashed.

    Not turn off (even after pressing the power button for 15 seconds).
    The drums and then put back. Computer skills on but the screen is blank and will not boot to the top.

    Tried to take part to Flash the bios by removing battery cmos/rtc (whatever it's called) but cannot find the battery and got to the point where I wasn't ready to dismantle any more (nobody else never disassembled a?)

    Could not find information or diagram or picture where the battery has been on the net... manual really useless laptop)

    Found reviews records of crisis, but I don't know what that means.

    So, how to I reset the bios?

    Please help - you're my only hope.

    > So, now, I find the cmos/rtc battery (if it's rechargeable explains so why does not easily localized) removed, he persevered on in a more accessible place - always reset BIOS

    Removing battery RTC would not help reset you mate sorry to the ROM BIOS module but what you did was completely useless
    It seems that the ROM modules where the BIOS is stored, was not properly flashed or something went wrong during the flash procedure

    In case of bad you the mobo is unfortunate but I think that Flash module ROM once more with a disc of crisis could help solve this case
    But the fact is that flashing the ROM module with a disc of crisis can be done by a technician of Toshiba ASP.
    That's why I recommend contacting the guys in your country and ask for flashing ROM

  • Very low emission Qosmio F50

    Hello world

    Recently my Qosmio F50 - 10z began to suffer a very weird problem. Often, the screen becomes absolutely dim. If I concentrate very hard, I see a picture very very low. Some external monitors when connected are well-lit and bright. The weirdest bit is that when this happens, I literally slam the lid shut and open the lid immediately to remake the screen light up.

    I know that it is either the inverter or the cable screen. My question is how can I know if it's the cable VGA or the inverter and where do I buy the part of!

    Help, please!

    Thank you!

    > The screen will often absolutely dim. If I concentrate very hard, I see a picture very very low. Some external monitors when connected are well-lit and bright.
    > My question is how can I know if it's the cable VGA or the inverter and where do I buy the part of!

    In my opinion it s inverter question a FL since the image on the external monitor is ok.
    The FL inverter controls the backlight of the screen and the sounds in question as FL inverter malfunction.
    You can buy and order all the compatible parts of a local ASP.
    The authorized service partner would be useful and could also replace the part.
    I would recommend this because the disassembly of the laptop is very delicate.
