Qosmio G20: CPU too high with video usage

Hello

I've got G20 (2.13 Ghz processor) and nVidia 128 MB GeForce Go 6600 and I noticed that when you run video that my CPU utilization goes up high enough. View tv goes up to about 80%, video in media player substantially the same, but the video clips on Web sites and sites with video banner Web can get up to 100%.

I don't know if this normal that I had not really noticed before, but lately, with this hot weather, I found that on the days hottest occasionally my system stopped, probably because the fan may not follow.

My question is if these ages CPU usage % are normal for this system, or I have some setting wrong that puts the load on the processor and not the graphics card. Can someone tell me if I can check how the video processing is done by the graphics card or how I can assure that this is the work and only in passing on overloading the CPU.

Thank you very much.

PS I am running the latest drivers video for this machine, obtained from the Toshiba draft.exe page.

Hi William

I had a lot of experiences with Qosmio G20 and activity of the CPU under pressure. With the use of the highest processor unit was never overheated just a little harder because of cooling fan.

As you know Qosmio G20 is powerful multimedia and video unit problem described in your message is really strange. If you wrote that you don't l l notice that before, I assume your personal configuration is responsible for this. On this path, it is not easy to say why this is happening. Try to check the processes running and at the end all of them you don't need. On this way the CPU use should be much lower.

  • Qosmio G20 error message: problem with the cooling system has been detected

    I'm trying to fix a Qosmio G20 (which is about 3 years old, it is no longer in warranty).

    Error message: Warning: a problem with the cooling system has been detected.

    I managed to remove the outer case and observe the operation of the machine, and basically one of the fans does not at all. The fan which is closest to the power connector seems to work very well (he seems to be turning a lot, do not know if this is normal), but the other fan who does not seem to move at all.

    When I put in place the case and on the machine, I noticed after a few minutes the vent of the fan working heat sink had warm enough, while led the non-working fan remained cool.

    I cleaned the fan from dust and have also changed the BIOS battery mode mode high performance, but the problem still exists.

    I would be grateful if someone could give advice if the problem is the fan or something else.

    If the fan is the problem, where I can buy a: i live in the United Kingdom?

    Hello

    I think there might be something wrong with the cooling module and the replacement would be necessary.
    Usually, this should be done by an authorized provider (ASP) in your country.

    Technicians could replace it with a new part and also could renew the thermal grease which is placed between the module and the CPU cooling.

    So contact the ASP in your country and ask for later handling.

    By the way; also, you can buy the cooling of the ASP module!

    Good luck

  • Qosmio G20 - could not get the video to display on the LCD screen

    I have a laptop Toshiba Qosmio G20, running Windows XP MCE.

    The DVD player on board isn't sounds very well so I thought I would plug an external DVD drive to expand its use. After a lot of internet research, I finally found how to do this. Here's my setup.

    Using the monitor port I used the adapter 3 RCA jacks. (There is no S-video on the DVD drive and an adapter did not work). I finally discovered that in order to get the image on the screen, I have to use Fn + 4. Now, here's where I'm having the problem. I can't get the video to display on my external LCD. FN + 5 didn't do. The monitor is an I - inc AH191D and is connected by VGA cable. There is no driver other than the one for the VISTA operating system... That is why it is not anywhere in the Device Manager.
    Here are the settings I use in order to have all that shows on my desk, shows on the monitor.

    In Control Panel open to the screen. Properties
    Number chosen 1 - multiple monitors GeForce Go6600 video card...
    Advanced under
    the GeForce G06600 tab,
    nViewDisplay Mode: clone 1 a 1 b
    The main screen: digital flat screen
    Secondary display: AH191

    I also tried using the properties of controls on Toshiba. He says under TV output TV output but gives options of the program, but I don't know what I would use. Any ideas out there?

    Wait I'm confused, if you try to send the output of your external DVD drive in the laptop, and then display the image on an external monitor attached to laptop?

    If you use the DVD player on your laptop, it will be good quality S-video as a signal of low resolution.

    Is there something wrong with the DVD player?

    If it's just the DVD software you don't like, you can download other DVD players. PowerDVD is excellent, its better than WinDVD and other players in my opinion.

    Hello

    I think display of the G20 should be compatible with the Qosmio G10 display.
    I searched a bit and found that the Qosmio G10-100 PQG10E was fitted with the 17 "WIDE XGA LCD.
    The Qosmio G20-101 PQG20E supports the same 17 "WIDE XGA display.

    Therefore, it seems that both units use the same screen.

    Hello

    That s just to change the BIOS settings in the BIOS!
    I think that the BIOS settings are placed in the last page of the BIOS (3).

    Try setting the 1RAID-0 on the first HARD disk and the 2RAID-0 the second HARD disk.

    It worked well on my laptop.

    By the way; information on the RAID configuration found in the user manual.

    Have a nice day ;)

  • Qosmio G20-120: 1080 p HD video question - photo stucks for 1-2 seconds

    Hi guys,.
    I have problems with playback of 1080 p HD progressive video on my G20-120. Photo gets stuck for 1-2 seconds every 5-7 seconds. Sound has no problem.
    I try to close all programs and applications that are running, but again it gets stuck. These help anyone make you think:

    1 - upgrade 1 GB RAM to 2 GB
    2-overclocking either the CPU or the video card (I don't know if its possible at all) if so how do you?
    3. change the 128 MB 256 MB video card (again once I'm not sure if it can be changed)

    Thank you very much.

  • Qosmio G20 - how to install with a single drive HARD and without RAID?

    I would like to implement G20 Qosimo new with Windows XP 32.
    I bought a new hard drive and put it on the slot 1. I would like to run without any RAID (slot 2 is so empty)

    XP installation CD not found HD
    I went into the BIOS to see if the HD was there - HD is considered normal
    then I thought that I have to change RAID JBOD (page 3 of the BIOS), but it did not work
    I have confirmed with the button of 1234 - but nothing happened.

    In another task, they said to install the RAID-(pressant F6,... tout en commencer l'installation de XP) drivers
    I put the drivers on a USB - but the system will not detect it (and there is no floppy drive)

    I don't know how to install XP on this laptop.
    Any tips?

    Chris

    Can you get the external floppy drive (floppy drive) and load the RAID drivers using this disc which should be connected using the USB port?

    This floppy drive, you can buy on eBay for a few euros.

  • Qosmio G35 - temperature too high

    I had already 2 times repair this laptop and do not want to fix it again.
    Problem is Temperatire on the video card. If doing nothing (display closed) temperature is GMCH1 73d¡(164F), GMCH2 64 c (147F).
    I bought FLOSTON Airgear.Now if do nothing (display closed) GMCH1 63C (145F) GMCH2 55 c (131F).
    If I start doing something - temperature increase up to 77 c (170F). If load it a few 3D increases more and more.

    I want to replace the laptop cooler myself. I need instructions and diagrams how to proceed. And some recommend it.

    Hello

    I don't think that any of these 3rd party applications would increase cooling performance.
    In case I would recommend contacting the ASP in your country. Technicians must check the cooling module and if necessary might renew the thermal grease that is always placed between the cooling module and CPU/GPU

    The thermal grease is very important and responsible for the dissipation of heat
    I think you should check this!

  • Satellite L30-113: is the temperature of my CPU too high?

    Hi all

    I recently updated my BIOS to the latest version available on the Web from Toshiba website.
    I have a Satellite L30-113 (33rd PSL).
    I don't know if I will be paranoid, but maybe my fans are a little warmer now - I mean when I touch the grid where air is blown, I think that it is hotter than before.

    I installed Speedfan and it shows me that the HD0 - 34 degrees Celsius, ACPI temperature is 74 degrees celsius and Core 0-70 degrees celsius (this one is different between 50 and 70).

    Please tell me these specifications are normal or now it is overheating because of the upgrade of the BIOS?

    Thank you.

    I also found this site with my processor specifications - http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SL9KV. It says that the operating temperature is 100 degrees celsius. This means that everything is ok?

  • Qosmio G20 - update Tuner TV digital?

    Hello

    I have the Qosmio G20 and unfortunately it only support analog TV. I wrote to the Japan Toshiba here and they said that it is not possible to upgrade the G20 to digital television.

    It is the official manufacturer of advice, but as I know from experience, there is always another way around these things using third-party hardware and software.

    Anyone have any ideas on how this could be done?

    Hello

    The Qosmio G20 series was delivered with different hardware compatibility.
    Some of the G20 has been delivered with a TNT antenna + analog hybrid TV Tuner and DVB - T and other G20 supports only analog TV.

    Well, if your computer laptop doesn t supports digital Tv then you can try to use the tuner TNT + external.
