• Qosmio G10 106 produced some strange noises

  Hi all

  Yesterday, my computer is doing some strange noises and I had to start cold but after that the Qosmio logo comes up and has the startup sound and remains with the logo and the HDD LED is on continuously.

  Any ideas how to solve this problem would be highly appreciated.
  See you soon,.

  Hi black

  Can you please identify the place comes from this strange noise? Is this something like clicking noise when spinning HDD or what?

  Please be careful about this. When this noise is coming from the HARD drive, it may be that the HARD drive is going to die soon. If possible, back up all your important data.

• Failure to display on Qosmio G10

  Hello

  I use a Qosmio G10 for 4 years now. I just got a new motherboard installed 2 months. This morning the display begins to act weird.
  When starting the laptop, windows, start symbol appears almost normal colors, but when the windows desktop is running for 2-3 seconds, the picture becomes bright. The text of the desktop icons is not sharp, and half lower of the screen there is a fine glitter mesh. Although the colors are abnormal on the entire screen: (to be determined with paint)
  -Black is black and white is always white
  -light gray (hue 120, saturation 0, RGB brightness each 192 181) seems normal but dark gray (hue 120, saturation 0, 120, RGB brightness every 128) is represented white.
  -brown (0, 240, 60 128 red brightness saturation hue) and the red light (0, 240, 120 red 255 brightness saturation hue) are represented as the same light red.
  -too dark and clear (yellow, green, turquoise, blue and magenta) are represented as the same color on the screen.
  I look at the picture you see immediately that the colors are not properly represented.
  When the screen is off, and then it shows colors initially normal, but then (after 2-3 seconds) everything becomes brighter and the colors become indistinguishable as described.

  If a 2nd screen is used each colors appear normal.
  I tried the new display driver: no improvement.

  Please give me a diagnosis which component is defect. Do I need a new display or is the new mainbord fault (guarantee).

  > If a 2nd screen is used each colors appear normal.
  According to your description it takes the laptop display problem.
  On the internet you can find many free tools for the control of the display. Try to test with these tools.

• Qosmio G10: Blue screen shot and later endless reboot

  Hello!

  I found similar topics on this problem, but they were locked and left unanswered.

  My problem is this: I have not changed of _anything_ in the BIOS for a log time. I have not installed new software or hardware lately. And I have not damaged my computer or anything like that. A few days ago I read a Web page when my computer turns off suddenly. It turned on automatically, then it asks me how to restart... count up to normal restart... the blue screen of death... restarts, wonder how... I choose "Safe Mode"... BSOD. I press F8 and try all possible options, but the result is always the same.

  A blue screen indicates: "MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION" or something like that. I'll send more information about blue screens later and more machine ID.

  If someone has any idea what happed and how this could be fixed, do not hesitate to write.

  I can't access Windows and I won't use CD recovery (yet) because I need to save some data to the HARD drive first.

  I say it's all simply amazing. Graphics card a year ago broke down (blue/green vertical lines, fans are going full throttle) and now this! This is the 2nd time in two years when Qosmio brokes suddenly.

  Ok. Here's some additional context information.

  My laptop Qosmio G10-105, model PQG10E-01D016FSR. After disassembly I was not able to access the windows more - not again. Several times that I managed to get into SafeMode so far, I was able to see the text "Safe mode" in every corner of the Welcome screen, but then it crashes. Once or twice the same in normal mode, Windows on the Welcome screen appears, but then it crashes immediately. In these crashes, blue screen says "MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION" or 'PFN_LIST_CORRUPT' and landfills fysical memory on disk.

  If she does not get there and computer falls down at the beginning (even if the Windows loading screen) it restarts all computer instantly. Sometimes, he does not screen blue but says the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM. This error can appear four or five times in a row then it tries to start normally, but blue screen crashes again.

  I can't find any logic in the accident, nor a way to avoid. It seems that various errors appear randomly. I would like to know if it is a crash HARD drive or something else. Other information are also welcome.

• Qosmio G10-137: blue screen after re-install using Recovery CD

  Hi all

  just got my qosmio G10-137 earlier this week after being under repair since the beginning of the month of January! Guys made the repair found no better then install the Dutch version of the operating system. I don't like this, then I took out my recovery CD and began the recovery. Everything works fine and I am asked to remove the media and reboot my PC.

  This beautiful laptop to start early and... Blue screen of death. Restarts, wonder how to restart... count up to normal reboot... BSOD... restarts, wonder how... I choose "Safe Mode"... BSOD... I choose the mode safe mode with prompt... the system.ini file is missing!

  It seems that the recovery CD is bogus.

  If someone has encountered this? Does anyone have any resolution?

  Kind regards
  Wim

  Hello

  It s very strange because the recovery CD was tested and install several times. It should work without any problems.
  I put t know where you come from, but the service partner should install the Windows operating system in the same language. In this case, if you bought the device in Dutch the recovery CD and the OS are in the Dutch language.
  Please note that you must use the same recovery CD that came with the device. Another recovery CD will not work.
  What you can do is to test the unit with an original CD of Microsoft Windows. It would be very interesting to know if the blue screen appears with the original Windows.

• Qosmio G10-100 - failed afer replacement with larger HARD drive HARD drive

  Following a failure in a Qosmio G10-100 HARD drive, I replaced the HD 80 GB IDE current with a 160 GB IDE drive. After execution of the recovery of the DVD, new HARD drive has been formatted and installed the software (later proved by removing the drive and treat as an exterrnal disk on another PC).

  However, on booting, the machine has recognized that it was another hard drive and it wouldn't let me go beyond the screen that offers alternatives (Safe Mode, etc.), nor what would allow me access.

  Counsel gratefully received

  > After running the recovery DVD, new HARD drive has been formatted and installed the software (later proved by removing the drive and treat as an exterrnal disk on another PC).

  Sorry mate but I put t understand what you did exactly
  You have installed the Windows operating system on the new HARD drive by using the recovery disk. Right?
  Well, the recovery procedure has completed correctly? The operating system has been successfully installed?

  Did repeat the installation of the OS?
  If this is not the case, repeat!

• Qosmio-F750-120 makes wired noise

  Hello

  I purchased a Qosmio F750-120 3 weeks and it has a problem that I have can´t fix.
  At random times (and increased when using more memory) jams for a second or two, making a strange noise.

  What can be?

  Thanks in advance.

  I think this is related to the overloading of the system.
  Perhaps this noise appears if running applications stresses the CPU. In this case, you may notice a short interruption.

• Qosmio G10 does not start

  Hello world
  I have a qosmio G10 since less than a year. It was just perfect.
  But now it won't start, but I'm unable to identify the source of the problem. (I have some experience with hardware problems, but...)

  When I push the Start button I have the ear of the DVD player running, the lights of the HD for a second and then the laptop seems to be turned on, but HARD drives do not seem to work (there is absolutely nothing on the screen, no boot screen at all). I am able to open the drive of DVD/burner to be able to exist even on the battery.

  Someone will be kind enough to share a few tips? (The FN F5/F1 key does not help)

  Thank you

  Did you hear one beep?
  This unique short beep is displayed if the device succeeded the POST (power-on-self-test) and the material is ok.
  The BIOS of the motherboard will occur always a POST during the power up, usually, this test is required to ensure its correct operation of the system and if a
  failure of the POST will identify the failure and emits a sound signal to ask the technician to take remedial action as soon as POSSIBLE.

  In your case, it s perhaps something wrong with the display. Try to connect the external monitor to the laptop.

  In addition, you can try to remove the battery and unplug the power adapter for a while.
  After several time try to connect the AC adapter again and try to start the laptop.

  If it doesn't help then I would really communicating with the Toshiba service partner in your country for the control of the laptop. Usually, technicians start some tests diagnostic and are able to locate the very fast fault.

• Qosmio G10-103

  Hello

  I was wondering if someone could help me with the Qosmio G10 - 103 with 2.0 GHz.
  I ve seen this laptop Qosmio in several German online shops but I can´t find information on the Toshiba Homepage.
  Is it a new model yet to be published? If Yes when it comes out?

  Kind regards
  Munchkin

  Hello

  Toshiba product model names have 4 components (Qosmio) family name, the series of products (G-series), the model (G10) and exact model number (G10 -103).

  This number is by country, because almost all the countries of europe have different demands of material, then Toshiba shipps different models in different countries!

  As far as I know that the Qosmio G series are shipped throughout europe in Dec.

  Note: Be careful with a computer purchase foreign toshiba laptop, the software package ad OS is also country and language specific! To get the right version of the operating system is pretty hard!

  Goodbye Tom

• Problem of graphics card on Satellite P20 552 & Qosmio G10

  Hallo,

  I have two 17-inch monitors computers laptop Toshiba as desktop replacement: 1 x Satellite P20 552 & 1 x Qosmio G10.
  Both are dead graphics card problem.
  The conclusion of my research on the WEB, it's the nVidia FX Go5700 card seems to be the weak point of these laptops.

  On the Satellite Map dies slowly: during startup Toshiba logo disappeared but WinXP logo was very good load, then WinXP loaded with the screen not refreshing and the problem of synchronization, etc..
  The Qosmio died suddenly: activities on the hard drive I guess load WinXP, but black screen (internal and external)!

  I know that, unlike the desktop computer, the graphics processor is not a separate entity; It is built into the motherboard. My questions are:

  (1) who should be blamed, Toshiba or Nvidia?
  (2) how to prevent premature rupture of the card/motherboard?
  (3) the card/motherboard could be repaired?

  Hallo

  I have red Satellite P20 304 and it still works well. Maybe you can offer this story to someone else, but I can say that Satellite P20 is great for laptop. I like it. Old, but still has an attractive design.
  If you have no luck I can understand it but to talk in general and write about weakness is for me nothing more than absurd.

  Nice questions here especially one. :)
  1 - to blame someone will help any. Try to get the replacement and get it working again.
  2. There is nothing you can do. All you can do is to take care of the use of the laptop and do not overheat.
  3. as far as I know that something like this is not possible. In this case the motherboard will be replaced.

  What you can do is to check eBay from time to time. You may be lucky and you can buy used motherboard for a good price and exchange it.

• Qosmio G10 does not work - some graphic problems

  Hello
  I have a Qosmio G10 a few years back, within the first year of its use the graphics seemed to go crazy after using it for games.
  Since then, I've left the but recently I dug to see if I can get it fixed it as my partner needs.

  1. whenever I start it I have a white screen with sound (I can get the screen each time by pressing F5 (current view).
  2. I tried the system restore cd, but when it finishes I wake a fragmented Windows screen with the beginning bar all over the place, and then it just freezes
  3. However, when I try a professional XP operating system to recover (I found somewhere), it starts up no probs apart from a few blue vertical lines on the screen, starting when I get on the desktop there is no probs although res is set to low and used to move (no graphics driver). Then I tried to load the Qosmio tools & utilities and can support all but the Chipset (that quite fragmented and I have to restart the whole process) and driver nvidia Gforce graphics that I assume will not charge because the chipset?

  I thought it might be a cd of defective recovery but when I changed during a hard drive of new fresh on the wrapper started everthing briefly as it should do this before, he crashed any temptation of power again.

  Pulling my hair out please help!

  Hello

  > 1. Every time I start it I have a white screen with sound (I can get the screen each time by pressing F5 (current view).
  Looks like the screen is positioned on the external monitor and so nothing does not appear on the internal screen laptops. Perhaps this happens because of the changed settings in the properties of the graphics card.

  > 2. I tried the system restore cd, but when it finishes I wake a fragmented Windows start with the bar start screen all over the place, and then it just freezes
  Usually the laptop should start correctly after the installation of the recovery CD. If the laptop freezes then a hardware problem is possible.

  > 3. However when I try an operating system XP Professional to recover (I found somewhere), it starts up no probs apart from a few blue vertical lines on the screen, starting when I get on the desktop there is no probs although res is set to low and used to move (no graphics driver). Then I tried to load the Qosmio tools & utilities and can support all but the Chipset (that quite fragmented and I have to restart the whole process) and driver nvidia Gforce graphics that I assume will not charge because the chipset?

  In my view, your graphics card could malfunction. I come to the conclusion because the laptop works ok until the graphics driver will be installed. Without graphic driver installed the laptop seems to run I think GPU dysfunction could also be the reason why the laptop does not start correctly after the installation of the recovery CD. The restore CD already contains the graphics driver that controls the graphics card chip

  So in my opinion, you should contact the ASP in your country for a control of the laptop.
  Maybe the technicians could find the fault.

  Good luck
