Red display on my Qosmio G30 (PQG30E)

Hello

I recently reinstalled Vista on my laptop, and while I installed the drivers, my screen started to display black and bright red. I thought it might be a driver problem, so I formatted my hard drive and reinstalled Vista, but the problem still remains. I plugged an external display and the display was fine about it. I then had a friend opens the monitor section to check the wiring of the kinked wires, but there seems to be no problem. It also happens during POST that lead me to think of my BIOS, but I updated the BIOS to the latest version and the external monitor also seems to me to ignore that. And I have now run out of ideas.

I installed vista when XP is the operating system of origin, but when you install the drivers that I made sure I chose Vista as my operating system, so I was wondering if there could be a problem there. Everyone would think that it is related to the hardware, software, BIOS related or something else and it is better to open the body to check the wiring there?

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Mike

I'm afraid that the LCD is faulty. What Qosmio model you have?
The warranty is still valid?

  • Update the display drivers for Qosmio G30

    I have a Qosmio G30-240, it will not play a game. I bought halo 2, but says I have to update my drivers, but there is no update I received new drivers of Toshiba but still the same problem. Display driver is NVIDIA g force 760 GB. Any ideas please?

    Hello

    As you know, the game can be played to laptop and desktop PC. Update driver for desktop PC is not so problematic and can be done more often than on laptops. Never force drivers of graphics cards to run with the best performance. For laptops, it can be problematic because greater performance is more heat inside the laptop. because of this laptop manufacturers can't offer display so drivers often but you can visit some u = independent pages like http://www.laptopvideotogo.com/

    Hello

    It's really not easy to say why it happens. I think that it of difficult to reproduce this problem, because it happens that sometimes ;(
    You said you are using Vista Ultimate.
    Have you checked if this happens using the Vista OS since the Toshiba Recovery CD?

    It would be very interesting to know if this occurs on laptop with Toshiba to factory settings.

  • Display and boot on Qosmio G30-117 problems

    Hello

    My Qosmio G30 (117) has problems to start. Basically the Qosmio title displays properly, but as soon as Windows XP appears, it is as a grid of white dots on the screen. He will then drain and take forever to get into windows. The grid of points remains all the time.

    My hypothesis is that sound my display driver, but get an update is a challenge. When I try to download from the page drivers it says that there is none. The search is based on the model of my PC, it should be no wizard

    I can't get into XP in safe mode.

    Real question is, is this my driver or is this a hardware problem?

    Thanks for your help,
    Peter

    Hi guy,

    that looks a little a hardware problem but before we get into it, you should download www.laptopvideo2go.com drivers (Please read the FAQS on this site!) and then, if the problem persists after installing new drivers, you must contact a local authorized toshiba service.

    I give you a link if you really want to contact an ASP (Authorized Service Partner):

  • Qosmio G30 display flickering and cannot connect to Windows

    I have to press F5 to make the visible display each time that I boot. I thought that it was a software related issue and I tried to format the drive with recovery CD original. However, the screen keeps flickering of the stage of the BIOS.
    Now, it's even worse. The screen flashes when the turning on and I cannot Ouvrezunesession Windows MCE after formatted HARD drive.

    After reading the FAQ and related articles, I suspect that it was a problem of graphics (hardware).
    My graphics card is NVidia Go7600. Is this true, and it's a must to change the hardware (graphics card)?

    Appreciate your advice before contacting the local support team.

    Thank you very much!

    Hello!

    That s a strange question. Do you have the same problems on an external monitor?

    If a display is flashing, the screen itself is faulty, the FL tube is the cause of the error. I think that is the best, when an ASP (authorized service provider) checks your Qosmio G30.
    Here you can find one:

  • Qosmio G30 - external display problem (HDMI)

    Hello

    I have Dell UltraSharp 2407WFP display with HDMI and DVI (with HDMI DVI converter) entry - I use HDMI as my primary connection. My Qosmio has NVidia 7600 Go card with the latest drivers provided by Toshiba for Vista 32 bit (version 7.15.10.9813).

    My monitor was working fine months ago (same thing with my HDMI TV) I had no problems - but now I have a constant flickering problem (goes black watch my office then becomes black again) computer laptop monitor and no image on external display at all and I get 'balloon' message in the taskbar that my display driver has stopped working and it recovers when I leave my HDMI cable.

    any ideas?

    Thank you
    Bran.

    Hi Brani

    It seems that the error comes from the display driver.
    Why you n t try to remove the old display driver and try to reinstall the graphics driver of the European driver Toshiba page
    You may notice some improvements.

    By the way; It might be useful to know that the Qosmio G30 supports the standard HDMI V1.1 (up to 1080i resolution).

  • Qosmio G30 - there a way to display the temperature of the graphics card?

    Hello

    I've got Qosmio G30-10B. Anyone know if it is possible to obtain information on the graphics processor (GPU) temperature, unit? It has nVidia Go 7600 graphics card. Unfortunately, the nTune doesn't display the temperature. Any other application that could do the trick?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Temperature, GPU monitoring tool? hmm I know on some graphics cards nVidia, you can find this information in the properties of the graphics card. But I m not sure if it of possible to see in the properties of the graphics card for laptops.

    On my desktop PC, I have installed applications RivaTuner. This tool is amazing, and you can control the various GPU parameters. But note!
    This tool is can change many settings of GPU and if anyone has any experience can damage the graphics card. So don t change anything if you don't know what you're doing!

  • Bad resolution of Qosmio G30 - external display via the HDMI connection-

    Hello! This problem makes me crazy, please help if you can...

    I just bought a G30-102 and I am trying to use it with an external display via the HDMI connection. The problem I have is that the native resolution of 1920 x 1200 cut the edges of the screen and the quality looks terrible - its almost as if the entire screen is enlarged. I tried with a BenQ FP241wz initially (1080i is 1920 x 1200) and the Toshiba helpline could not find a solution either - even after painfully reinstall all the drivers, etc..

    Its been going on for so long, I thought I'd try it out with my HDTV instead, just to be sure it wasn't a monitor problem. So I tried with my Toshiba 32WLT66 - and come to find that it has exactly the same problem.

    All the display settings appear to be correct and the G30 is convinced that the result is correct, so I have now it is - don't you think not that this is a problem with my HDMI port?

    Please help, I'm a designer, and it is essential that I use the machine on a large screen. If it is a hardware of the G30 problem, I need to talk to Toshiba immediately replace or fixing.

    Hello

    I tested the Qosmio G30 (HD-DVD) with my LCD TV using a HDMI cable. Everything worked perfectly. As a first step, I put 1080i value in the settings of the BIOS and after following the instructions in the HDDVDGuide document under http://support.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB6A01LH000LR01.htm

  • Display driver cannot complete installation on Qosmio G30-137

    I just bought qosmio g30-137 of the Germany. My laptop had a German version of windows and I installed winXP PRO Greek edition. I have a problem with the graphics card driver. I downloaded from the TOSHIBA site. While I do Setup search the driver files that does not exist and I can't complete installation. I would like to know if anyone knows where I can find a driver to complete the procedure or if anyone knows what the problem is and how I resolve?
    Also starting from TOSHIBA site some installation instructions that explain how to do the installation with the appropriate sequence. Also, I would like to know where I can find the chipset driver?

    Hello

    Have you installed the Windows from the original CD of Microsoft?
    Why you suggest that the graphics driver has a malfunction?

    I guess you can not complete the original installation of the Win operating system due to the RAID driver and graphics driver. This unit has been delivered with RAID function and you need to install the RAID driver at the beginning of the installation of the OS.

    In addition there is also an instruction and installation utility chipset on the Toshiba driver page.

    The problem is that there is no Win 7 64 bit drivers made the Qosmio G30 series.
    You have to collect the drivers with your own hands!

  • Upgrade to Vista Edition Home Premium on Qosmio G30-116

    I thought I had covered until after I started the upgrade of power. To see that there are still several drivers who did not prpoerly including the video card.

    Also the test under icons was blurred. I tried several different approaches with clear Type etc. and increasin size but not luck.

    1. What is the best advice for the upgrade? is it still worth in waiting for toshiba to produce a package
    2. What are the recommendations for the establishment of siplays of Vista?

    Hello

    First of all you need to know what are the right drivers for you unit.
    It seems that the Qosmio G30-116 is a part of the PQG30E series. So if you're going to download all of the drivers that you must choose that number in the download form pilot!

    I checked the Toshiba page and unfortunately, I didn't find that several drivers for Vista as RAID driver or stack of BT.

    However, it seems that you must update the BIOS before installing Vista.

    But now for you questions:

    > 1. What is the best advice for the upgrade? is it still worth in waiting for Toshiba to produce a package
    Well, I would recommend install clean Vista separately on a second partition.
    And Yes, if you want to use the whole functions to wait for Vista drivers

    > 2. What are the recommendations for configuring Vista displays?
    After the version of the graphics driver you should simply install it. The driver will choose the best settings.

    Hello

    This remote will work, if you use it without any special drivers and special software, only in the Media Center.

    But if you install stuff like [WinLirc | winlirc.sourceforge .net] then you should be able to get some functions for your presentation.

    Please try this tool and check if it works.

    By the way: if I were you I would first read the manual and the WinLirc FAQ before you start because it s a little bit tricky to manage the program. :) (Too many parameters: D)

  • I don't see that drive HARD install Win7 in Qosmio G30

    Hello world

    I tried to install win 7 64 bit in my Qosmio G30. The first problem was when, in the early stages, Setup did not find hard drive. Exactly, he told me that any pilot has been found. logically, if it does not find the drivers, including the hard disk drivers that I couldn't install win 7.
    I see the hard drive in the BIOS, but I can't change its configuration. It is as if it is locked

    Worst of all is that I'm trying to take the win XP but I can't start the operating system. The message is: ' Could' open drive.

    Please, do you know what is the problem?

    Thank you

    Before you start the installation of the OS you need to load the SATA driver. Check please download from Toshiba on http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp page if you can find it here. If this is not the case, let us know.

    I can't find it for you because I know what Qosmio have you (PQG30E or PQG32E).
