Qosmio G40-10 s: graphics card problem

Hello.

I have a Toshiba Qosmio G40 laptop 10s with a Nvidea 8600 M GT grafixs card. I was playing a game when it locked up and pasted what I would describe as flashing red/green 'Matrixy' search screen.

He then a blue screen and trys to reeboot.
He tries to start windows, but once again the top matrix. If it loads to the top, it is in 16 bit color with red dots all over the screen.

I am sure that the GPU is fried... and I was wondering what I can do? It's been 5 months out of warranty now.

I read on some forums that there have been a lot of problems with this Nvidea card... Is there anything I can do outside my warranty period with what there is a possibly faulty card in it from the beginning.

It will cost a lot of money to get it repaired, but its too good a laptop to let go to waste.

Any help is very appreciated.

Hello

You also have these lines on an external monitor?
If so, there seems to be a graphics card problem and it must be replaced.

These overheating problems also occur if you use the nVidia display drivers directly. Toshiba drivers are pre-tested and don't overheat your system.

But I think you need professional help. You should contact an authorized service provider and talk to the technicians. They will help you! :)

    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.

  • Qosmio F10 graphics card problem

    About 11 months after I bought my Qosmio the graphics card no longer works and I couldn't see anything on the screen.

    I contacted Toshiba and they fixed it under warranty.
    About 6 months later, he went again and told me that the warranty on the repair had expired.

    I was quoted around 350 pounds to repair both.
    It was about 3 years ago.

    He sat on a shelf since then.
    Before I give him a decent burial, is now a more reasonable repair?

    Hello

    To my knowledge, dysfunction of the graphics card is a serious hardware problem and usually the whole motherboard must be replaced.
    I m not very good if the GPU could be removed from the motherboard in your case, but according to your message, the fix would cost £350, so I guess that the motherboard must be replaced also

    Well, it s your decision what you want to do. is this difficulty and to spent £350 or perhaps to buy a second hand of the internet auction platform motherboard or sell this laptop and purchase another unit

  • The Qosmio X 500 graphics card problem?

    I have a Qosmio x 500 since end of December 2010, and sometimes it will suddenly stop responding, give a black screen, then come back. After that, I get an error message saying that the graphics card has had a problem, but has recovered.

    I am also getting a problem when I leave it running, close the lid and come back some time later - 1 or 2 hours - to find that it will not be "waken upward" when I open the cover and I have to unplug and remove the battery to kill power before I can then reboot? Pressing any button does nothing except to put the lights on the keyboard!

    My X 500 does look under warranty?

    Hello

    I think that the error message is created by the graphics driver.
    I had a similar problem in the past on my old laptop from another production.
    This laptop supports the Intel graphics chip and I could resolve this install another graphics card driver.

    I recommend you first the version of the BIOS installed on your 500 X.
    If the most recent BIOS is available, try to upgrade to the latest version.
    In many cases, the new BIOS might resolve a reactivation of the questions.

    Update the display driver could be interesting as well

    After that, you could check the functionality of the laptop if the questions would not solve, you could get in touch with a local technician to ASP and check the laptop under warranty conditions.

    Dude good luck

  • Qosmio F30-111 - graphics card problem

    Hello

    My laptop does not show any other resolution than the usual text resolutions (starting).
    The laptop is almost useless with this problem.

    The problem occurred when playing a computer game in the resolution of 1280 x 800 regular graph (for windows).
    The screen went black, but has no power lost. I had to restart from power button / stop.

    Windows XP (from toshiba) gives a blue screen after the splash screen during startup.
    Also, I have Linux and Xorg reports a fatal error when starting driver NVIDIA, so I cannot use the computer in mode terminal linux, no X mode. But I can still use Linux mode of expression and access to all files.

    When I start the screen also has a strange color mode. In text mode, many letters is brighter than others. This happens in installation mode and Terminal in Linux mode.

    Other strange things things I noticed recently, that is the FAN makes noise more now due to the temperature higher CPU (2 to 3 weeks).
    Sometimes reaching 100aº C (which has never happened before). In recent months, the laptop was still in the Office at home.

    I bought the computer round of June 2007, is still under warranty (2 years in the Portugal), and I registered it on the toshiba site.
    Currently, I live in Poland. Can I retrieve my warranty in Poland and try to solve the problem here? (I'm Portuguese).

    Hello

    Looks like the graphics card began to malfunction.
    Therefore, you must contact the ASP as soon as possible.

    I think that you can contact the ASP in Poland to help him, because all laptops are covered at least 1 year international limited warranty carry-in.
    As the name says it of a international warranty and if the warranty is valid the ASP in Poland should be able to help.

  • 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.

  • HP Pavilion P6 2055sc: Cant enter BIOS because graphic card problem.

    Hey!
    So for the moment, I try to turn on virtualization, I m able to boot the computer into windows but do not enter network boot (anti-spam f10 key before the HP loading screen) but because of the past problems, I struggle to get into the BIOS.
    It all started when I got a new (Asus Geforce GT740) graphics card and this caused my computer not being able to start, without forcing in the network boot.

    But like I said, when im trying to get into the BIOS, it gets to the screen where it says "Press Escape to access the Boot Menu" which, at that time, it ignores when I press ESC.

    I tried holding it, I tried all the keys F1 - F12, but nothing makes a difference, so im wondering if there is a way for me to get into the bios and work around this problem.
    I looked for so updates to the BIOS, but I couldn't find one so far.

    @alilleland, welcome to the forum.

    The reason for which the computer would not start with the GT installed 740 is, it requires UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard BIOS.  If you always use the GT 740, I suggest to withdraw to see if you can enter in the Boot Menu.  You can do that by typing the ESC key as soon as the computer begins to start.

  • On the Satellite 5200 903 graphics card problem

    Deploy a 5200-903 Toshiba Satellite. A few days ago, I have a problem with the display. All scratches and other
    unknown elements on the screen. It's the graphics card (FX GO5600). Read about it in other forums.

    My Question: Is it an embedded chart? And what do you think, is it profitable to change the broken component?
    I mean if the graphic is on board, I have to change the motherboard together.

    Thank you very much for your answers!

    Hello

    It's look like that there is a problem with a graphics card. Can you check connection of the external monitor to the laptop?
    The graphics card is integrated into the motherboard, therefore, you need to replace the whole motherboard.

    It is quite expensive, and sometimes it is better to buy the new computer

  • Satellite A500 - 149 - graphics card problem

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A500-149 and last week my screen has scratches ace.

    The grapichs card is ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650.

    I send the computer to Toshiba yesterday but I need feedback because a repair. If the same graph as problem could cost to repair?

    Anyone know?

    I think that no one here can help you. Either is defective graphics card or screen may only.
    In any case, if the GPU is defective, it will be quite expensive.

    I think you should contact Toshiba service and ask what is the result of the diagnosis and how much you have to pay for the repair.

  • Satellite L650D - 15K - graphics card problem

    Hello

    I updated accidentally driver graphic card ATI Radeon 5650 on the laptop, and then during the games and video look, the computer became very slow, the CPU usage is average on 60%.

    I uninstalled the latest driver, reinstalled the driver of my module provided on the Toshiba site (not the one on my computer, because I can not find where it is), but the problem remains, I don't know if the driver from the Web site is the same as on my laptop. It seems that there is some driver files that cannot always be deleted entirely. If I reinstall the whole system, I install and activate the software.

    Can someone tell me what should I do now?

    Thank you.

    Have you installed the latest driver ATI support page or the Toshiba download page?

    I mean it is recommended to use the Toshiba drivers only. I can't say this but I've heard that installing the non-Toshiba drivers can change some important values in the GPU BIOS.

    Of course, you can reinstall the recovery image and begin to use the laptop with factory again.
    It will be interesting to know if everything will be like before again.

    Back up all your important data, reinstalling the OS, test it and thanks for posting comments.

  • Equium A60-155: ATi Mobility graphics card problem

    Hello

    I have a laptop Equium A60, recently I am getting error informing messages than the "display driver ATi2mtag has stopped working properly.
    I have reset my machine as told to do the error dialog box. Reset works fine, but the laptop crashes to the desktop, when turned off and on again once I get the Safe Mode screen.

    I reinstalled the driver for the graphics card several times, and the error persists through safe mode. The returned error and trying to open in safe mode, the machine flashed a blue screen of death, too fast for me to read, even applied for each of the available options. I was unable to cross this safe mode selection screen.

    As a last resort that I reformatted my laptop, using the Toshiba CD recover but the error persists, with regular driver display and the actual machine crashed.

    Since the reformat, I reinstalled the display drivers, and the problem persists.

    I downloaded the drivers from this site and the problem is still there

    You know a possible fix or solution to this problem? I am a competent enough and user of computer knowledge, so do not be afraid of getting technical in your response.

    Thank you

    Hello

    This problem occur immediately after the operating system starts or after several usage time?
    If this issue occurs after a several time of use, so it could be an overheating problem.
    In this case, you should check the cooling modules. Check if the fans are working properly.
    Try to clean it with the vacuum cleaner.

    If this doesn t solve the problem if you maybe there is something wrong with the graphics card and you will need to contact Toshiba service for assistance.

    I really wonder now what great chance it may be that we have both the same problem at the same time.

    Can we not we both had a virus that made the grafic card?

  • HP Envy 700-074 Graphics Card problem Windows 8

    Greetings,

    I recently bought the HP ENVY 700-074 (http://http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?cc=us & dlc = in & lang = to & lc = in & product = 5371495).

    Initial setup went fine without any problem.  I replaced the power supply so that I could add the graphics card from my old computer.  The power supply and graphics card worked perfectly for my old computer.  Feeding is a BFG Tech GX 550 watt modular power supply series.  The graphics card, I have installed is the Nvidia 560ti.

    The problem is that, when I start the computer, my screen goes to sleep (as there is no signal) until the login Windows 8 screen lights up. At this time, my screen lights up and it is normally.  However, if updates or restarts the computer, the screen turns off again and he returned sometimes when loading the desktop computer.  I tried to get into the BIOS to see if I could disable the onboard graphics, but I have been unable to access BIOS because I don't see anything on the screen during startup.  I removed the Nvidia card and returned to the use of the integrated graphics card and everything is back to normal.  I managed to enter the BIOS at the time here, but I don't see any possibility to disable the integrated graphics card or use the PCIe as main display (unless I missed something).

    I also noticed that Windows 8 shows I have 2 screens installed when only 1 is installed physiclaly.  My HP (HP 2009 m) monitor is listed in Monitor 2 and I initially had to go through the windows to get my HP Monitor to display the entire desktop (as it origionally extended from the start, the desktop computer).  However, number of monitor 1 is listed as monitor of generic cards.  Thinking that the computer used the non-existent monitor like main display when starting, I deleted the generic monitor than to have to reinstall windows.  I also tried to disable, but the problem persists.

    I guess that there is a conflict between the integrated graphics card and the Nvidia card.  However, I assumed that the edge will be disabled automatically after inserting a card into the PCIe slot as the integrated graphics card watch is no longer under device mananger.

    Hello:

    Have you changed the settings of the BIOS 2 (required) before installing the video card no HP?
