QOSMIO G40-114 and "PCI Express error"

My G40-114 QOSMIOI worked perfectly until yesterday.

I now have a black screen with the message "PCI Express error" at startup. Screen is frozen, can't do anything.
What is the origin of this problem? (I searched the Web and looks like it has something to do with the motherboard...).

Is that what I can do by myself?

You can start your Qosmio laptop in SafeMode (F8 at startup)?

    Some of the many topics that I found about this error.

    I bought my laptop model from January 2009 as a demo in a Dutch shop called Qplaza http://www.qplaza.nl/

    Don't think I have any warranty next to security,) I received store (2 years), but there are a few things I don't understand.

    As I understand it, it's that there is even a lawsuite on this problem and that it indeed was a problem with chips from nvidia 8600. But then why won't Toshiba or Nvidia fix laptops with these problems?

    I read my laptop have to go to the special repair service to replace my motherboard and I have to pay for myself.
    And that's IF they can fix my laptop.

    I started searching the Internet which could be the cost of price, but the answers don't make me a very happy woman :-(

    Is there another way to solve this problem?
    And are there not places where you can buy a very appropriate motherboard for this laptop?

    Can someone help me please? My laptop worked perfectly and without any warning... poof... can not run more.

    Hello

    I can understand that you are not happy with the current situation. Nobody is happy if the computer starts to malfunction, but it of not always easy to tell which is the reason. For the exact diagnosis, you need professional tools and these tools available only to an authorized service provider.

    I get bored in your ad information is information about the operating system. Are you using the version preinstalled Windows and you have already collected your notebook back to factory settings? If not, you should do this to make sure that it s no software or driver that is causing the problem.

    If it still doesn't work you should get in touch with an authorized service provider and talk with the guys what they can do for you. I m, they can make you an offer for spare parts if you need them and a good price too of course. Just talk to the technicians is that as possible. ;)

  • Qosmio G40 - 10F won't boot up - PCI Express error

    I recently installed a windows update and the laptop came in restart mode.
    When the system boots it tries to start then I get a say black screen error PCI Express.

    I tried a system restore, but the disc does not start, also tried to access the bios and it does not work.

    Can I please ask for more help on this one because I don't have any problems at all, everything seems that a windows update has messed with my config in the bios.

    Help, please!

    Hello

    I can't believe that Windows update would affect the BIOS.

    In my opinion, this must be just bad luck.

    PCI Express error means generally that a PCI device on the motherboard has started to malfunction.

    This means that it could be a motherboard problem that could be solved by replacing the mobo

    Sorry man, but I think that you don't have a lot of options here... seems that Toshiba ASP technician should take a look at this question :(

  • Tecra M9 - PCI Express Error at startup

    Hello everyone...

    I have a Toshiba Tecra M9 (PTM91E-04R03TEN)

    http://www.Toshiba.IE/innovation/JSP/supportMyProduct.do?service=IE#TAB0;

    Setting in motion,-wristwatch splach Toshiba and then "PCI Express error." screen on a black screen
    I can't get beyond this black screen
    and I can't get into the BIOS?

    Once that he managed to start completely, let him turn for a while I record information from the HARD drive. but then, the problem started again.

    In my view, that it is a problem with the nvidia GPU (in cycle Fatigue on the BGA) card
    I have the stripted computer laptop down... and bought ArctiClean thermal Pad, & Arctic Silver for "repair".

    Should I have someone analyze the material and find the troublemaker?... OR... should I just of reflow of the GPU.

    I'm technical interest... but not a PC / laptop technician: (..)
    any instructions on how to proceed would be received with gratitude...
    Can I just "bung it in the oven" and see how it goes? :) :) .

    Kind regards
    Peter

    Hello

    I found and read your other post regarding this problem and in my opinion the PCI Express error is related to a PCI device (i.e miniPCI module as WLan / Bluetooth, etc.) connected to the motherboard.

    Of course I can't say for certain that this question isn't related to a GPU malfunction.
    Usually, these details can be provided only by a technician who checked the laptop's hardware.

    Usually I put t recommend to disassemble the laptop. It s very difficult to perform this procedure and of course there is always a risk of damage part do such procedure without any instructions.

  • Qosmio G40 - webcam and windows live messenger

    Well I've had this problem before and was solved with the installation of Service Pack 1. Well now it comes back to haunt me again! Windows live messenger does not register the webcam. The cam works and I am registered in the control panel etc. It is only on live messenger it does not...

    As described above, I have a Qosmio G40 with Windows Vista Ultimate and windows live messenger.

    Live messenger is set to allow phone calls and Messenger live in general - but there is no exceptions for webcam in the Security Panel?

    Looks quite simply that the cam is not lit - I have a black screen with static...

    Any ideas to fix this?

    * Download driver Chicony Webcam drivers from Toshiba Web site section was updated. If you can't find an updated driver, try a new driver of another model of Toshiba.
    * Install the Service Pack 1 of Vista, or Vista Hotfix KB934374: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934374 (KB934374 is included in SP1)
    * Update your e-mail software (MSN/Yahoo Messenger, etc...)
    * If you have another program that can use the webcam (e.g. Skype), make sure that they are completely closed and not, sitting in the system tray.
    * Try to close the bar Assistant camera on the left side of the office.
    * To stop the Camera Assistant software from running at startup, run Regedit and delete HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run "Camera Assistant Software".

  • Qosmio G40 - freezes and the sound of noisy fan

    My G40 seems to have a few erratic startup problems upward. Sometimes during the starting process that the computer seems to freeze everything and all I can hear is a loud fan noise.

    I tried this remedy in the option restart but have had no joy. Is this a problem of memory with all the programs I am running? I don't know where to start.

    Hey,.

    When this happens exactly? Toshiba screen or Windows splash screen?
    Run you to the factory settings or other OS?

    I think that it of difficult to say why this is happening. It could be a software or a hardware malfunction

    Fact is that you can test the modules of RAM with Memtest86 or another diagnostic tool. You can ask Google to find it, it s freeware. Just download an iso image and burn a bootable CD/DVD. If you start from that disk, you can start the test.

  • Qosmio G40 crashes and some programs do not respond

    Hello and happy holidays to all.

    Please could I get help with my G40?
    The pc hangs and will not work.
    Ccreens lock and I get constant messages that the programs do not respond.

    I ran all the controls, I could find, chkdsk to invite cmd, defragmentation etc. There is no reported problem.

    I used the professional system of mechanic to check the registry and everything else, once again nothing of what should not be expected were reported.

    I ran all the software tests virus and malcious.

    I think I want to restore the pc to factory settings but can't find any option to do so.

    All ideas
    Stafford

    Hello!

    If you want to restore the laptop to factory settings and that you have Vista, you must start from the recovery discs or press F8 at startup and then select Repair my computer and follow the instructions in the menu.
    If you have Windows XP, you have the recovery disks.

    Prior to this, back up your data first. The HARD drive will erase completely.

    I also think it s the best way to reinstall Windows, but you should also check if you have the most recent BIOS:

  • Error in PC Express on Qosmio G40

    Hello

    I've owned my Qosmio again for 2 years. Its a Qosmio G40 and it worked very well.

    Recently, I updated to Windows 7
    Monday/Tuesday night, I had one of these standard windows updates that settle after clicking stop
    Next morning, I turned on and get splashscreen without any pixel death/graphic card problems
    Then the screen goes black and shows "PCI Express Error."
    laptop was fine before the update to windows 7

    I asked around a few co-workers and it seems to reset/update of the bios, after the last update of weekend - update caused something to go an ironic on their laptops from Acer/Asus - again suggesting flash window button of the bios in a way
    I tried to download the update of BIOS 2008 (never updated again)
    The problem is that the program is very specific, you have to get off the load on a computer toshiba laptop in order to extract the files from the cd-rom/USB
    I tried to use the restore for vista disc - but as the bios is screwed all you get is the error message
    Does anyone have the latest bios update, which can be sent to me a laptop toshiba so I can try to run it from CD/USB to see if that solves the problem

    Or is it something more sinister?

    Why don't you try to solve this problem by using the System Restore tool at first? Maybe some optional update Microsoft has screwed up something.

  • Qosmio G40; LAN adapters do not work and no Internet on AOL?

    Hello
    I have a Qosmio G40 notebook and am running Vista with Aol and a Speedtouch 576 everything was fine until yesterday, when I couldn't log on (error code 31).
    My drivers cannot load according to the error message and I can't check for solutions I'm obviosly don't have a connection.

    Have looked at the download section, I can't seem to find a solution.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Generally, the error code 31 says that a driver could be corrupt.

    Microsoft said:
    This device does not work properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)

    It looks more like a software problem!

    I believe your AOL software messed the BONES and therefore the Lan driver and the system doesn't work properly.

    Check the Device Manager before installing the AOL software.

  • Qosmio G40-108 - prevent recovery of product disc ask to insert the disc

    I have a Qosmio G40-108 and it works fine even if the disc is not read discs any longer, perhaps because of a motherboard failure that I replace the disk with a new of brans and it still does not work, but my problem is the following... I have the product recovery disc, I tried to copy it to a USB key and reinstall the OS from USB and the start of software loading a page with the logo Toshiba asking to insert the recovery disk into drive F: I can't use is more like it's broken. How can I prevent the disc from asking to insert the disk into drive F:? There are lines on the laptop recovery disk to install the USB without using the disc?

    I managed to install a generic Windows Vista 32 bit downloaded from a Web site and my serial key works with it, but I really want to reinstall the original software
    P.S. Recovery of product is for Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit and just in case there is also a serial number of the disk GMR400766ENG

    I don't have any experience with this, but I found an interesting article on creating recovery USB - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD4103KB0000R01.htm
