• Qosmio G40 - upgrade memory to 4 GB

  Dear all,

  I want to upgrade my memory standard 2 GB (2x1GB, 667 Mhz) up to 4 GB. Clearly, I realize that only 3 GB (or something around) will be visible.

  * The question is choose what type RAM os and which brands/models best fit (price and performance-wise) *:
  (a) PC2-6400 800 Mhz
  (b) PC2-5300 667 Mhz

  _Would the system use PC2-6400 800 Mhz or could it be underclocked? _
  I read this thread (http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=28634) and seems that the part of the wire on underclocking has not been addressed.
  Does make sence buy PC2-6400 with a hope that with increased Mhz, performance will improve?

  There is a list of RAM tested brands/models and confirmed as compatible by Toshiba for purposes of upgrade? _
  The manual indicates that only authorized Toshiba RAM should be used, but I failed to find a list of approved... The RAM manufacturers offer different ideas (Kingston suggests PC2-5300, Corsair suggests PC2-6400), but I'd rather hear Tohsiba.

  * I would be grateful to hear from those who have done an upgrade if there is no improvement in performance! *

  Thank you all,.

  I can see in the last 5 days nobody have written anything, and I hope that I can offer just my comment to this. To be clear I have no Qosmio G40 but I hope we can discuss on the upgrade of RAM.
  That said Toshiba? Not much.

  For each model of laptop, Toshiba offers a list of compatible and tested RAM modules. For your computer model Toshiba laptop offers modules of DDR2 667 MHz RAM. 2 GB module has PA3513U-1M2G part number. I also recommend you to buy Kingston modules. Kingston offers products of high quality.
  I don't see any reason why Toshiba should test all the modules available on the market and create a list. If someone will sell own products, they must test it with laptops available on the market and have a good chance to sell own products.

  As I wrote before RAM in the manuals is being tested. To be honest I don't see any sense why use module 800 MHz on the motherboard with bus 667 MHz front end, if you can get the 667 MHz modules.
  What do you think?

  One last thing: to comment on this notebook 800 MHz just processor system Bus Clock speed (PSB) is 800 MHz.

• Qosmio G40-108 does not start

  Hi Gang

  I hope that there is some good buddies out there that can save a window double glazing to be mullared by that lappy.
  I had (Qosmio G40-108 with 4 GB of RAM) since August 2007. Everything was fine until two weeks about where it kept crashing during the execution of a couple normal progs that I use.
  After reading several messages from buddies with similar problems, I think it might be the PCI express graphics. Is this good? I can swap out? Or advice, blaggs, ideas or suggestions are very welcome. :)

  * Do not forget: there is always someone worse off than you... *.

  What exactly happens?
  Your Qosmio freezes simply and you must turn off or switches off without any warning messages?

• Qosmio G40-127 - need windows XP drivers

  Hello.

  I just got my new Qosmio G40 and I want to install Windows XP Pro / Media center on this issue. I know it's possible, but I want to know wich drivers to use in order to operate correctly. I already had drivers laptopvideo2go nvidia, realtek, and chipsetdrivers. I need webcam, wireless lan, TV tuner, etc..

  Y at - there anyone out there who have a Qosmio G40-127 and made a WXP install and know where to find these drivers? I don't have not upgraded anything but RAM to 4 GB. Otherwise, it is like new.

  Thank you

  Hello

  You are right. The XP drivers are not available at this time on the Toshiba driver page. I didn't find it too. Looks like we have to wait...

  But listen;
  There are some XP drivers for another Qosmio series; G30 for example.
  You can try to install these unique pilots because many laptops are equipped with the same features and drivers may work too.

  The WLAN driver can be downloaded from the Toshiba WLan Portal:
  http://APS.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

  like driver BT:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/Bluetooth/

  The LAN driver can be downloaded from the Intel page because as far as I know LAN chip is an Intel 82566MC(Nineveh MC)

• Qosmio G40 - update graphics card

  Hello world

  I know it works has already answered in October 2009, but I have a few not 100% course info on the upgrade of the graphics cards. Now I have a qosmio g40-10 with nvidia geforce 8600 with 512 video memory. Because this card is purely not enough for the high-end gaming today, I want to update at least 1 GB of video memory. Like many people here, I tried to find some information online but its just waste of time. I asked in each PC store in my town this topic and 60% of them responded that it is possible, but it will cost you so.

  They could not tell exactly witch card should take but logically it will be nvidia series that were used by Toshiba manufacter, what I'll do I will find some young model of Toshiba nvidia cards and will just try to adapt it. Logically that laptops Toshiba chassy is almost the same, of course mounting screws can be different, but ultimately, it's a project. The only problem is the motherboard, I heard that this motherboard is unable to accept certain graphics cards.

  If you have some info on this please let me know.
  Also different (highest card) coz, there will be cooling problem so if you have ideas to solve heating, please share it with me.
  Thanks much adrian

  Hello Adrian

  I guess that you know very well that the possibilities of upgrade on mobile units are very limited; especially GPU or CPU upgrade and laptop manufacturers offer don t any kind of support. Because of the design specific common problem for mobile units is cooling system. More performance means more heat and more heat, compromised of portable computer hardware switch or damage.

  Manufacturers of portable don t support cela and don offers t any helpful info about it. GPU upgrade in my opinion is not a good idea. OK, you can do with your laptop that you want and play a little bit, but I'm afraid that your project is too risky and will not end with success of m.

  If you need a more powerful computer I think it's time for the new portable computer with more powerful hardware. What you think so.

• Qosmio G40 - no webcam with live Messenger

  Hello world

  I installed Win 7 on my Qosmio G40 instead of Vista and everything work fine except the webcam that does not work with live Messenger (only) no matter what I do (I tried several drivers, re-installed Win messenger live, close some processes, etc ;) I get this error message:

  '* Cannot start your webcam. "Check if it is not used by another program and retry."

  What the hell can I do to fix this?

  Hello

  I read a lot of discussions about the problems with webcam and messenger Ms.
  The problem with Vista has been resolved by the SP1 from Microsoft Update.
  Now, it seems to be that the same problem with Win 7 looks like a thing of compatibility

  However, because the message says that the webcam is used by another application, I suppose that some background processes lock the webcam

  You must remove webcam and messenger MS startup in msconfig.
  After that, restart the laptop and don t start the webcam software if you want to use it in Messenger from Ms.

• Qosmio G40 - 10Z - possible CPU upgrade?

  What processor can I put my Qosmio G40 - 10Z? I couldn't find a list and the motherboard is a "motherboard Toshiba" without a template or similar.
  I would like to change to a better processor, a quadcore would be well, is - it possible?

  My Windows 7 tells me to change the battery, but the battery is ok. Google says its due to Windows and could be solved by the BIOS updated. I have the newest
  Official home page. There is no latest BIOS available?

  Thank you

  Robert

  Hello

  I doubt that the CPU upgrade would be possible. You should read this article:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

  This error message is it exactly that you get Windows 7? Normally you get only a low battery notification, you need to Exchange or connect the power supply.

• Qosmio G40 - graphics card keeps overheating and crashing all at stake

  My nVidia 8600GT card in my laptop Qosmio G40 overheating guard and crashing when I m gaming.

  It works all the games that I put on it fine, but overheating then crashes and me kicks off the games I play m.
  Is it just because it s a laptop and it s inclined to do?

  I tried to increase the fan speed with riva tuner and precision, but no program allows me to access the utility of fan speed.
  I presume this is because it s a specific card from the laptop... I also can't find the driver for this card from nVidia updates.

  Help, please... James

  Hello!

  Are you using the Toshiba display driver? This is important because the pilot factory don t have protection against overheating and the graphics chip can be damaged.

  In addition, this could also be an overheating problem. If you need to clean your laptop with a jet of compressed air that you can buy at a local computer retailer.

  Last but not least, I would not try to change the speed of the fan or something else. This will be controlled automatically.

  Good bye

• 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

  Maybe you'll be able to create the USB stick recovery. Check it out.

  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 G40-12 s is not booting

  Recently my Qosmio G40 had a blue screen and poured out the physical memory, it took so long, I remember he stopped at 75%, then I restarted the laptop and came with the Qosmio logo, I spent my finger, certified, shows hdd1 unlocked and hdd2 unlocked and that is where it stops, never been spent there.

  I hooked the due to another system, but do not initialized because it is locked. Now I cannot access my information and cannot use my system.

  Please I need emergency aid. Thanks for the reply

  Hi John,.

  So for the time being, you are not able to start Windows, right?

  You can access the Windows Advanced Boot menu if you press the F8 key? If Yes, select Safe mode and try to start Windows.

  Additionally, make sure that both hard drives are recognized in the BIOS correctly. If Yes and Windows doesn t it starts, looks like that you have to do a Toshiba Recovery disk recovery facility because Windows is confused upward and can start to t.

  As far as I know the RAID options are offered on laptops with preinstalled Toshiba RAID Utility.
  With this tool, you can choose between two options:
  -RAID 0 stripping
  -mirroring RAID 1

  I'm not 100% sure but I think that Toshiba do not offer this tool for Qosmio G40 and I'm afraid that's not possible on your laptop.
  This tool is preinstalled on your computer?
