• Qosmio G40 - partition of NVCache showed in my computer

  So now my Qosmio G40. Some how when I use recovery NVCache Volume is Visible. On that, there the Readyboost file.
  It is (500 MB Fat32 partition), and is only 5 MB of free space

  Ever since that it began to appear I get the disk cleanup ball telling me I have no space on the disk.

  The volume of VNCache is assumed to be Visible? If not, how to remove?
  If this is the case, how can I say disk cleanup to ignore it?

  (Edit: now its empty!)

  Thank you

  Hello

  To be honest I n don't know what you mean exactly. Do you mean the Windows recovery environment Partition?

  Normally after the installation of recovery, you have two partitions, and all partitions are already missing.
  Maybe you can post a screenshot of disk management.

• 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 - 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 G40-108 - 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.

• PCI Express Error - Qosmio G40 - 10Z

  Yesterday I turned on my laptop and I got a black screen with the message "PCI Express Error"

  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 G40-10 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! :)

• 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.
  Do you see yellow exclamation points?

• 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.

• Signal (PAL 60) record with the Qosmio G40 Line In (Capture) Option

  I'm in Australia - and I have a lot of NTSC video tapes I want to MPEG...

  These bands play very well on all the TVs/LCD TV in the House.

  Qosmio G40 seems to have problems with PAL 60 signal that sends my VHS player...

  My VHS/DVD from Toshiba drive is to convert NTSC to PAL 60 signal - as this VHS player bought in Australia - this seems to be the Australian standard bought a VHS/DVD player.

  There is no option on the VHS player to the NTSC signal... I tried another VHS player - and it gives me the same output PAL 60, this player also could leave the NTSC signal...

  So I wonder if the Qosmio G40 is able to record the signal PAL 60 - maybe I'm missing a setting somewhere...

  I use Ulead movie maker software, which is supplied with the machine... but I don't see any options on the support PAL 60...
  Maybe the TV card installed in the machine does not support PAL 60 - I can't find any info about this...

  Maybe I need to use a software of different capture which will support PAL 60 options...
  Or maybe I just buy a VHS of America drive, and qosmio q40 will capture the NTSC image very well... (I already have a few products from 110V at home)

  Any thoughts?

  Hello

  I'm not sure if this is possible, but you can check the BIOS settings, if there is an option that would allows you to change settings of NTCS/PAL.

• A few questions before you buy the Toshiba Qosmio G40 - 12J

  Hello

  I would buy a Toshiba Qosmio G40 - 12J and I have a few questions:

  -There's a Bios / disk HARD Tatoo that block the other installation of the system?
  -Is an original supplied Vista DVD Installation or reinstallation is made with a hidden partition on the hard drive?
  -If a Master Installation of the Vista DVD is provided, is an additional driver / software cd also delivered?
  -I can delete partitions and recreate them as I want, or is there a problem (because of a Bios / HARD tato or hidden partition HDD disk)?

  Thanks for your answers,

  Good day!

  lightchpa

  My dear, I had a G40-108 and now I work very well with G45-AV690.
  You can install XP... Linux and so forth, but don't forget to find the right driver (Nvidia and so on...)
  The recovery DVD is not only the Vista operating system, but there is the operating system with all software and tool too.
  You can create and delete any partition you want to

• Driver SATA required for installing XP on Qosmio G40

  Hello

  I have Toshiba Qosmio and I want to install windows XP Professional.
  But as you know XP does not have the driver for SATA hard drive and it can't see the disk.

  I have a good program to install the hard disk drivers in Win xp cd, but I don't have the driver.
  So I need the driver disc Qosmio G40 hard to ride with the XP CD.

  If there is no link available to download or any body done before.

  Thank you

  The key is; Intel Matrix Storage Manager. This Storage Manager contains the necessary SATA drivers.
  You can download it from the page of the driver Toshiba (check the other series where the XP driver are available) or from the Intel page.

  I also recommend the use of the program nLite. You can create a clean XP CD using this software and might include the SATA driver (also, service packs, etc.) for the new CD of XP.

  I did it too and it works like a charm.
