Qosmio G30-162 - BIOS update problem

Hi, I have a problem with the update the BIOS on a Qosmio G30-162, which seems to be running the following version: -.
Version 1.20
Version 2.3 of DMI
Date of the BIOS 21/01/06

Whenever I run the update V3.90 it is said that it is not valid for this machine.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Thank you very much

The BIOS update I'm running is V3.2.9 (P0038v390.exe)

When I run the files of the update says that "this computer is not supported.

Thank you very much

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.

    Hi Marcus

    I think that no one knows when the new BIOS update will be available. You can check the BIOS download page only from time to time. All that s.

  • Re: Qosmio G30-162 - updated graphics card

    However, I have a Toshiba Qosmio G30-162, which until now has served me fine - games is becoming more advanced and requires more vram.

    My machine came with a GeForce 7600 256 MB has told me that the technician "is integrated with the Commission. Now buying a new pc isn't an option.
    It is therefore possible to update this machine graphics card or increase the amount of ram that the current map (I'm no stranger, with the help of a soldering iron)

    I would like to hear from someone who has experienced similar problems and found a solution.
    Any help appreciated thanks

    You will meet many people who has the same attention but I can tell you that this is not possible.
    GPU is mainly set at the Board of Directors and cannot be upgraded.
    And this isn't only a deal with Toshiba laptops, but it is usually not possible on all laptops from different manufacturers.

  • Qosmio G30-126 - BIOS is not able, updated on this configuration

    Hello people

    I have a problem with my computer where the Toshiba Service has replaced my motherboard. (a lack of display adapter).
    I now have the computer but the BIOS is very old, Version 1.90. I downloaded the latest version of the Toshiba site which is 3.90.
    When I try to update I get the message "error. BIOS update is failed. BIOS can not be upgraded on this configuration.

    I have Windows 7 and all run in administrator mode.
    I boot the WinPE CD, but still not able to do any update to the BIOS level.

    The old BIOS does not support USB boot and has other issues that make the upgrade, an important factor.

    An assumption I made is that the BIOS should be upgraded by small steps, i.e. the version of 1.60 to 1.70 etc until I arrive at 3.90.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello

    First of all why do you this update? Is it really necessary or do you see a reason for this? If this isn't the case, forget this update. It of really not necessary!

    In any case, the BIOS update you can do if you correct all files in archive zip first. Run the update as an administrator, and then close all running programs.

    You wrote that you try this update on Windows 7, what is happening on the preinstalled OS from Toshiba?

  • 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!

    His big problem to work

    Thank you and I hope you can help me...

    Hello

    The version of the BIOS should be mentioned in the BIOS settings.
    Turn on the device, press F2 and verify the version here.

    Also I recommend the settings of the BIOS back to default settings.
    In the BIOS settings, you will need to press F9 to get the default value. Then save the changes and exit the BIOS.
    Restart the machine and check how many processes are running in the context of the BONE.

    I recommend disabling of certain non-essential processes in msconfig.
    There, you can go to the Startup tab and could uncheck the unnecessary process.

  • Satellite R630-130 Bios Update problem 1.90

    Hello.
    Find it me difficult to update the BIOS 1.90 because I got the message that I had permission to run the update. Of course, I executed the request made by the administrator and try several times to restart Windows (Home prem 64 - bit). The last time when I installed 1.80 BIOS update there was not this sentence. Attach the screen with the message from the application.
    Thank you very much.

    In my opinion, there is a problem with Win7 version you are using. Maybe it's not enough to run as administrator, but you must be logged in as an administrator.

    Please check it out.

    By the way: why do you need new version of BIOS? Is there a problem with your laptop?

  • Satellite U500 - 1-8 - BIOS update problem

    Hello

    I have a problem with * BIOS * update on my Toshiba * U500 - 1 d 8-PSU9ME *.
    Currently, the BIOS is + v1.50 +, but on this page http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_bios.jsp?service=EU
    I found the new version + v1.90 +. (I know that the BIOS update should be made not when any problem occurs, but I occasionally some problems on startup etc...)

    When I run the update * UBIOS.bat* that nothing happens, but the thread * WinFlash.exe* is running on background.

    What can I do? I found this manual http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9502M10000R01.htm, but it is not useful.
    Any idea?

    Thank you
    Concerning

    Hello

    If you have downloaded the BIOS v1.90 so you need to unzip (uncompress) first of all, this package. Inside the packaging, you will find the BIOS190.exe
    You must run this exe file.

    You say that WinFlash.exe is running on the background. Well, try closing this process and start then start the update
    You can also reboot the device and might try to start the procedure once more

    Just, I improved my Qosmio G50 - 12 k to 8 GB of RAM and installed Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit. Windows see 8 GB of RAM but can only use 4 GB. I have the BIOS version 2.0.0 I wanted to upgrade to version 2.10 'P0060v210.exe '.

  • 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

  • Satellite C855 - 19 X - BIOS update problem

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite phone C855 - 19 X and the alert tempo TOSHIBA utility prompts me to update my BIOS. However when I am doing so I get the following message

    "Error".
    Flash process will end!
    Current platform have secure start capability, it must provide the location of storage NV by interface IHISI.
    Please contact BIOS OEM Engineer to add the feature.
    Without this IHISI interface, variables to authenticate will be modified or erased by flash process.
    If you understand the risk and want to keep flashing.
    You can add the following parameter in platform.ini to ignore the error.
    [EngineeringErrorDisable]
    SkipSecureBootProtectionCheck = 1"

    Does anyone have any experience with this kind of problem? Should I add this parameter, or is otherwise around it? Because the BIOS will be affected I hesitate to do so.

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello

    First of all, you should know that the update of the BIOS is a sensitive technique and using wrongly you can damage the motherboard. So be sure to always update the BIOS.

    Second, the update of the BIOS is not quite necessary in case your laptop runs correctly.
    You have problems using the laptop? Isn't it? Well, in this case I wouldn't touch the BIOS.

    However, the error message is telling as secure boot
    Secure boot is an available option in the BIOS settings. You should probably disable secure boot before running the BIOS update file.
