• 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

• Display driver cannot complete installation on Qosmio G30-137

  I just bought qosmio g30-137 of the Germany. My laptop had a German version of windows and I installed winXP PRO Greek edition. I have a problem with the graphics card driver. I downloaded from the TOSHIBA site. While I do Setup search the driver files that does not exist and I can't complete installation. I would like to know if anyone knows where I can find a driver to complete the procedure or if anyone knows what the problem is and how I resolve?
  Also starting from TOSHIBA site some installation instructions that explain how to do the installation with the appropriate sequence. Also, I would like to know where I can find the chipset driver?

  Hello

  Have you installed the Windows from the original CD of Microsoft?
  Why you suggest that the graphics driver has a malfunction?

  I guess you can not complete the original installation of the Win operating system due to the RAID driver and graphics driver. This unit has been delivered with RAID function and you need to install the RAID driver at the beginning of the installation of the OS.

  In addition there is also an instruction and installation utility chipset on the Toshiba driver page.

• Recovery does not work wth my Qosmio G30-137

  Hello everyone, I have big problems with my Qosmio G30-137. I tried to put the system in the State of origin using the recovery disk. After booting from the floppy, the procedure starts as usual and gets to the language screen. Then the trouble begins. After selecting the language the error next watch-up and the process breaks. The worst is that the computer starts not more that a recovery is critical.

  Error message:

  IOCTRL_DISK_GET_LENGTH_INFO.------ ------PHYSICAL DRIVE 0
  The device is not ready

  It seems that the software can not see the drive. However, in the BIOS, both drives are visible and shown OK. I put the raid parameters to different options and I also tried swapping hard disks or restore with a single disc. Nothing worked! Panic mode...

  Thanks in advance!

  Hallo Frank

  Have you tried to boot from another bootable CD/DVD?
  Try please use Microsoft WXP / Vista CD/DVD facilities. It will be interesting to see if the facilities procedure ends on the same point.

  But in my opinion, there is a problem with the HARD drive.

• Qosmio G30-155: video Capture does not work using s-video in port

  Toshiba Qosmio G30-155 video capture does not work via the ports of the video (Windows Vista Ultimate x 86) victory of version 3.90 BIOS
  Video capture does not work in Windows Media Center, even if selected as ports of entry port composite or s-video in Windows Media Center settings.

  In the BIOS version 3.90 parameters via esc - F1 can only select this option: NTSC (USA), NTSC (Japan), PAL (S-video).

  It is worth noting that the laptop is supposed to be capture NTSC for composite input mode

  Someone turned to make this model of video capture for laptop, via composite video input with the new version of the BIOS (version 3.90 win)?

  Can you please explain what you want to do exactly?

  Many years ago I had this old Qosmio with TV tuner and antenna in port so I used it to transfer my old VHS format videos and burn movie DVDs.

  To this end, I didn't use Windows Media Center. Why you n t use other recording applications. I think that everyone is better than Windows Media Center.

• Qosmio G30-137: how to change the English language OS?

  Hello!
  I just bought Qosmio G30-137 of the Germany and he has Windows Xp MCE in German language.
  The recovery disk is also in German also. I would like to know if someone can provide me with the recovery in the English language disc or can someone tell me step by step what I need to do to make a format for install Windows Xp MCE version in English and what programms I probably need because I'm a newbie...

  The laptop has also two HARD drives with RAID technology.
  I can't wait to hear promptly.

  Hello

  Windows was delivered in German language, because you bought in Germany. You cannot change the language to English without the recovery or the original version of the Windows operating system English English CD.

  You can install the original Windows operating system but before you install the new OS you need to install the RAID driver.

• How to use the memory shared to my Qosmio G30-137?

  Is it possible to use my G30-137 shared memory? I've updated to 4 GB of RAM but my XP 32 bit just use 3 GB of them.
  So I have 1 unused GB... and I thought that now I can use this 1 GB for grafic

  THX

  As much as I know laptops Qosmio isn't a shared graphics memory. Your laptop's graphics card nVIDIA GeForce Go7600 FX with video 256 MB of RAM.
  There must be another reason for wrong info RAM on your Qosmio laptop.

• Re: Qosmio G30 - RAID of the problems when installing the OS

  I got my Qosmio G30-161 for half a year and he had thought should be time to reinstall everything, so I could get rid of things I didn't need (programs, viruses and uninteresting video clips).

  So I took my XP MCE Cd and tried to install, and I am guided me through and come to the place where I had to choose between unknown 1st and 2nd 3rd stripping mirrored. I chose the stripping as I wanted my drives to be in one. Then when I pressed "next" it gave me the error message "1005 - HDD is not ready?

  I tried to go into the BIOS and change the setting of different parameters of Toshiba told me to, but he also warned that if I changed my OS settings will need to be reinstalled. No problem. But I still get the same message error "disk is not ready?". So now, I have to use a computer other than mine to check the forums and mail etc.

  Anyone know what I need to do? I'll be happy with anything as long as I can have both my hard drives (60 + 60 GB) and OS work. :)

  Please help, I would urge for her, because the computer is the one I use for my school work. Feel free to ask questions about the tricks of the system. If you have an answer, please let it be simple, because I really don't want to mess up again ^_^

  Please check the details relating to the installation of RAID user's Guide.
  Usually if you use the clean Windows XP disk then you need to include the RAID drivers first.
  Without pre-installed RAID drivers HARD drive will not be recognized and you will not be able to install the OS!

• 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?

  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.

  Hello

  Do you have what Windows OS installed?
  If you have installed Win XP then the common Module must be installed before trying to update the BIOS.
  If Vista is installed, the VAP (value added package) must be running.

• 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 G30-126 + graphic card GeForce 7600

  Hello

  as I've written before this graphics card was without original driver NVidia for Vista. I was always in trouble with graph and when it came the first update in October 2007, I was happy, but there remained only the Toshiba driver (nothing original for Vista to the web pages of NVidia). Later on came another bet to level, but still not original and it show me that the driver is named now GeForce 7650GS. Last week, I download driver direct from NVidia web.

  Any person of any kind - change the name of the driver?

  Hello

  I put t know where you found the name of the graphics card but the Qosmio G30-126 was equipped with the NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 name Code G73M graphics chip.

  The graphics driver Vista and XP is available on the Toshiba page.

  It s own modified Toshiba graphic driver and you should always use the graphics drivers from the Toshiba page to prevent the equipment from damage

  Good bye

  http://www.asklaptopfreak.com/laptop-notebook-help/2007/07/08/Toshiba-Qosmio-G30-screen-problem/

  My Qosmio G30 is already dead, I got an estimate from the official service, to repair my qosmio costs nearly 600 pounds. Is a design flaw. Go on the internet.

  Interesting links! Thank you.
  I have to say then I must be lucky. My Qosmio G30 (German model) works well and without any problems

• Problem upgrading the h8-1409 HP Envy video card problem

  Hello.

  I just bought this machine and it has a good processor and ram good, but it comes with a card missing video (HD7570).  I want to upgrade the video card at one of the best maps I have of my old machines (Gigabyte GTX 660 ti and an Evga GTS 250).  When I install one of these cards but, I get no video output.  I can hear the initialization of the system and the hard drive works, so everything seems fine here.

  This machine comes with a 460W power supply, which should be enough to run one of these cards, but no go.  In order to exclude food, I tried on a secondary market, OCZ 600W PSU, but got the same result.  Two cards work in my old machine, so I know that the cards are good.

  The specifications of the main Board are here:

  http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/document.jsp?objectID=c03132942

  As far as I know, it should work.  Is there something I'm missing?

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  Only use one video card in your PC and make sure that it is installed in the PCI-E x 16 slot.

  Boot in the bios (ESC and F10) and go to security topics. Try each of the topics and search a secure Boot Configuration.  If it exists, then see if Secure Boot is disabled.  A poster said that secure boot disabling enabled the installed video card. I have not tried this on a HP active UEFI motherboard but I know that it isn't a problem with another mother UEFI card that I use.  Your mileage may vary.
