Qosmio G30 - screen lock, no keyboard, no mouse action

I'm getting intermittent problems with my G30 gel (not BSOD - simply locking the screen, no keyboard, no mouse action) and the fan at maximum speed. The only way out is to hold the power button until the machine closes its doors. Reboot is so very well. Sometimes, say, 2 - 3 times a week, with 3-4 hours per day use.

Not much to go, I know! I looked for the time journal entries he goes and sees nothing strange. I had the motherboard replaced a few months after the video card overheated and dies, so am a bit paranoid about heat problems. The only consistency I can find, is that it happens only when it is connected to the internet... I am running Norton antivirus/internet security, and there is nothing in their newspapers either. There is no apparent consistency when it happens (for example the set time after start instead, executing specific program, etc.).

Anyone else had this? Sorry I can not more than a fix on the problem, but maybe someone can recommend a way of pinning it down better...

  • Shadow on Qosmio G30 screen

    Hello

    I hope someone can help. I have a Qosmio G30-161. I've never owned a laptop before and think it's fine, but a question, I have however is that when I turn it on and see the black screen as it starts, I can see a sort of shadow in the middle of the screen. If I move right up to the computer, it seems to fade a bit but I don't know if this is normal or not? Anyone else having a Qosmio never this remark?

    Is it just because where are the lamps or is my screen a bit dodgy? It seems OK when I look at things on it, but if there are breaks in the TV programs with a black screen I noticed if I wait for it?

    Thank you very much in advance

    Hello Dan

    Sorry, but this kind of problems, you should clarify with your local dealer. I recommend you to check on other model Qosmio G30 in the store to see if there is a difference.

    On this way is really not easy to tell whether something like that is normal or not.

    By the way: this shadow is visible if you are running OS?

  • Qosmio G30 - screen remains blank

    Pc guru please show me the age of enlightenment:

    When I turned on the laptop, she had that familiar noise (music) for Window Vista Home Premium in the background and the screen remains blank. I pressed F8 during the newspaper but made no difference (no native mode display).

    Then I put the recovery DVDs and you press F12 by following the instructions in the menu product and still no effect.
    Is there a problem on the laptop - infection by the virus or malfunction of the graphics card?

    This is the first problem since I bought it two years ago.

    Hello

    Is that means the screen goes black all of a sudden without any reason?
    If so, it is difficult to say why this is happening. You can connect an external monitor to the identity of the problem.
    Check it!

    Normally after the installation of recovery everything should work properly. Otherwise, it seems to be a hardware problem :(

  • Windows 7 - USB keyboard and mouse do not work once Windows starts

    The following happens occasionally:

    The keyboard works perfectly in the BIOS, the post OFFICE and when the Windows 7/64 Ultimate starts (I can tell the [Numlock] led shines). But when you see the Windows login screen, both, USB keyboard, USB mouse and stop working.

    I can say this from the [Numlock] LEDS go off and, mouse and keyboard, does not.

    There is no discernible specific deadline. Even wait minutes does not get the mouse or the keyboard back from work. In this case, the only way to get both mouse and keyboard, back from work is to reset the machine.

    I noticed this strange behavior with several keyboards, mice and different motherboards. So, it doesn't seem to be a problem related to a particular device.

    Independent since I also noticed the following:

    • I am currently using a card mother GIGABYTE Z68XP-UD3-iSSD. If I activate XDR (caching system with the small SSD disk) then Windows 7 starts up very quickly but keyboard and mouse get disabled for about 5 seconds when the login screen appears.
      .
    • During the installation of Windows, the keyboard rarely has not activate during the POST at all.

    I noticed that several people share the same problem. Is this an inherent problem USB HID? Or is there a bug in Windows that should be fixed?

    Hello

    This might be a question of power, where Windows is shutting off the power to your USB ports. Try this:

    Open the Device Manager
    Click on the tree "Universal Serial Bus".
    For each "USB root hub" do the following-
    Right-click on 'USB hub root'
    Select Properties
    Click the power management tab
    Make sure that the box "Allow the computer to turn this device to save power" is NOT checked.

    Try restarting now. If all goes well, that will take care of the issue.

  • Qosmio G30-163 mouse and keyboard does not work properly

    Hi all

    I installed an update of the firmware of the toshiba site. I think that the upgrade was for the dvd but am not sure. I just saw an available upgrade and installed. Stupid of me. The dvd drive has been previously not recording. If after installing the update of the firmware I has not restarted the machine. In the meantime, I forgot the upgrade and then I did to fix the error of dvd

    "Start the Registry Editor (start, run and type regedit and click on).

    Search for "UpperFilters" and "LowerFilters" (and "UpperFilters.bak" "LowerFilters.bak", if they exist) value under the following key in the registry and delete it:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    Exit the registry editor.

    Reset. »

    Now, after restart the keyboard and the mouse does not work. I can't go in safe mode because I can't press ok for the user login screen. I have attached an external keyboard, but it still does not work.

    I use windows xp, I have a lot of data. I can't do anything. If anyone has any idea please help me. The laptop is out of warranty. I'm stuck. Help, please.

    John

    S rally strange because I put t see a link between the firmware CD/DVD, UpperFilters and LowerFilters and the keyboard and mouse.

    This is first time that a removal of the upper and lower filters would undermine the functionality of keyboard and mouse. Which is really strange.

    Anyway, you are able to access the BIOS? If this isn't the case, then this is not good.

    First of all, you should try to save the data stored on the HARD disk in this case, I recommend to remove the laptop HARD drive and connect it using a USB HDD on another controller.
    This would allow you to save the data to another HARD disk.

    Put the removed HARD disk in Notepad, and then try to reinstall the OS from the Toshiba restore CD.
    I hope that this will be possible because I don't see another way to get the operating system again.

    Good luck by a friend

  • screen of 3 computers, 1, 1 keyboard & 1 mouse

    Greetings. I would use 3 computers (2 cheese grater Mac Pro and new iMac 27 "retina) with a screen (from the iMac), 1 keyboard and mouse 1. Each computer functions as its own unit, just need to access in my office. Is this possible?

    I do currently this with 2 pros of mac of grated cheese using a KVR switch. Not sure if/how the same thing can be done to implement an iMac 27 "retina, with its screen functioning as the screen for 3 computers. I would also have all the 3 currents and move seamlessly between them, which must be and have the screen and keyboard mouse all follow suite effortlessly as they do currently.

    As mentioned do not know if it is possible with the iMac as he is an all-in-one device.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Yes. Use screen sharing. It is free to delay on Gigabit Ethernet, for everything EXCEPT the video editing.

  • Qosmio G30-140 - cannot adjust the brightness of the screen on Windows 7

    Hello

    I installed Windows 7 on my Qosmio G30-140, but I can't adjust the brightness settings.
    Instead of allowing me to place the cursor on any position, I want that I'm stuck with only 3 steps which elect to.
    The last of them is way to bright and my eyes keep tear having to deal with this crazy amount of white, especially on white background.
    The other two are very, very dark.
    What is going on? I installed the right Nvidia drivers.
    Also, I can't adjust the brightness using the FN keys on my keyboard. They simply produce no result at all.

    Need help appreciated, I can't work like this.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    The brightness of the display can be controlled by the FN + F7 and Fn + F6.
    I think you should install the VAP and buttons of the Support of Flash memory card utility in order to get this to work!

    Check the added value Package and Support Flash Card which are released for Satellite L500 utility or new models of laptops.
    In my case it worked!

  • Qosmio G30: blue vertical lines and crash dump blue screen

    I have a Qosmio G30, model No. PQG32C-AV605E with BIOS Version 3.40.
    I want to update 3.90, but I can't get into Windows.

    How update the BIOS without windows available?
    Y at - it a utility BACK?

    If so, please send and I will download it or send me an email on where to download.
    The G30 that I has vertical lines blue on the screen when the computer starts in VGA mode entering into Windows for the first time.

    But the machine can not get into windows, it freezes and dumps and restarts before that.
    I replaced the RAM with new RAM, but it has no effect.

    I ran the diagnostics utility and hard drives are OPTIMAL in RAID 1, so no errors there.
    Reinstalling Windows went well: I can't do it in VGA mode without lines.

    Toshiba technical support told me that an upgrade of BIOS fix it.

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello

    have you tried to plug the external monitor? If it still shows blue vertical lines, the reason is a failure of the graphics card. (You can also reinstall Windows to check the related issue of f it's Os). Otherwise, contact the after-sales service.

    Akuma is right. This message occurs if the laptop can not boot from optical disc or HARD disk drive. Then automatically seek next boot device and it's LAN. This message is typical for the start of LAN (cable not connected).

    Hello!

    Sorry, buddy, but this is not possible.
    You can use t as the screen of the laptop as a monitor. The laptop doesn't have a video input port, there is only for video output ports. This is the reason for this.

    So if you want a HD screen for your PS3, you will have to buy a monitor only. The laptop can be used for this.

    Good bye

  • Qosmio G30 - white lines on the screen and BSOD

    and I have problem "white lines on the screen ' when windows start to load after that I got the"blue screen of death"and restart the computer.
    I try to get back, but unfortunately came with the laptop recovery CD doesn't seem to work...

    Whenever I finished to recover I have "windows loading files" and once this is done, it shows me the so-called "blue screen of death"...

    Hello

    I m afraid. I have bad news for you ;(
    I think you ve you have a problem with the hardware in my eyes, there might be something wrong with the GPU chip.
    The white lines on the screen could be related to a faulty graphics card and get the BSOD error due to a hardware malfunction or software serious questions

    I m sure that the recovery CD does not contain software problems and therefore only the fault of hardware could be the reason for the lines on the screen and the BSOD.

    In my opinion, you should contact the ASP in your country for assistance if all goes well you guarantee is valid.

    Good luck
