Unstable XP on Qosmio G20

I'm having a terrible time in the installation of XP PRO SP2 on my G20.

I have donwloaded all new drivers Toshiba XP installed site and the drivers in the order suggested by Toshiba, but the system freezes after loading the icon on the desktop and the only solution is to open the Task Manager, ending explorer.exe and run it again.

I made a fresh installation several times and this behavior happens sometime after some drivers installed and sometimes later.

In addition, after managing the system to start, I have problems with crash on Itunes 6, Nero 7.

Does anyone have any idea of what is happening?

Thank you

Hi Mauro,

Have you searching for viruses etc. on your laptop since you downloaded the drivers on the Toshiba site. It is always possible that soemthing has found its place on your system while you were connected to the internet.

Kind regards

  • How to install linux on Qosmio G20-120

    Hi all.
    I tried to install some linux distro in a new qosmio g20. Only knoppix 3.8 and 4.0 CentOS have some chance to install, the other distributions can´t recognize the hd or dvd (on Ubuntu), but the distributions that have installed the Hd become unstable, can´t stop, if I do because the hd is not collapsed shutdown, can´t, etc... Someone tried to do? Any chance to install linux on this notebook?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    It's always a problem with Linux as the OS is not supported by Toshiba. In this case, you're on your own.

  • Qosmio G20 blocked on JBOD in BIOS

    Hello

    I have a problem with the Toshiba Qosmio G20-109.
    The system does not start, the two hard drives JBOD (unable to start Windows).
    HDD1 - 120 GB
    HDD2 - 250 GB

    So I wanted to put the first disc HARD 1 1RAID-0 using the method described in the Manual: I entered the code 1 2 3 4 and I pressed Enter.

    The problem is that once entered the BIOS code remained frozen and blocked.

    I tried everything, I'm not despairing managing to install an operating system.

    I hope there is a solution.

    Hello

    If JBOD has been set in the BIOS, Windows OS could not be installed on this HARD drive except using the Toshiba product recovery disc. But I guess you want to install the system using another drive in Windows.

    To be honest, I not very well why the BIOS freezes and does not accept Mr. code it s certainly the right one: ENTRY 1,2,3,4

    But the issue is probably related to the HARD drive. How to switch hard drives in the Bay?
    Try to use the 120 GB HDD2 and the 250GB as HDD1.

    I also recommend you use the 1RAID-0 = HDD1 and HDD2 = JBOD
    Would be interesting how it works.

  • How to install Win XP on Qosmio G20 using USB flash memory key

    Dear Admin,

    This is regarding my laptop Qosmio G20.

    Last month my OS (windows XP media edition) has been corrupted so I attempt to reformat and reinstall the operating system.

    But unfortunately my CD/DVD-Rom does not work/play,.

    Then I try to install it via a PEN drive bootable with integrated... XP but when I go into the BIOS I n I find USB Boot option... :-(

    Then I remove my main hard drive and put it in another laptop and install the XP, its work in this laptop, but unfortunately when I put the new HARD drive the Qosmio his departure gives the XP logo but in 5-10 sec its judgment and give a blue screen message then then restart automatically...

    plezz help me install XP or Vista or 7 those who works there...

    plezzz plezzz sound my laptop preferred

    Thanks in advance

    JAI

    > Then I try to install via a PEN drive bootable with integrated... XP but when I go into the BIOS I n I find USB Boot option... :-(

    Connect the USB flash memory key to the laptop, now switch on and press F12.
    The start menu should appear where you could see all the possible boot devices.

    Do you see the USB boot option in the start menu?
    If this isn't the case, then you will not be able to boot from USB flash memory.

    > Then I remove my main hard drive and put it in another laptop and install the XP, its work in this laptop, but unfortunately when I put the new HARD drive the Qosmio his departure gives the XP logo but in 5-10 sec its judgment and give a blue screen message then then restart automatically...

    I guess that this is because the RAID drivers was not included!
    Qosmio G20 supports the RAID controller and you add the RAID driver (located on the Toshiba UE driver page) in order to recognize the HARD drive.
    But I put t know if you could do so using another computer I guess that's not possible.

    Maybe you can try to disable RAID in BIOS

  • Qosmio G20 screen of text or symbols on startup

    Qosmio G20 139, at the start of the Qosmio laptop appears and then it immediately goes into a screen of text or symbols. Is continuous to load see the Windows XP screen then displays vertical blue dotted, then goes to an error page showing the nonpaged page error error 0 x 00000050. Then restarts and goes around and does the same thing.

    I used the recovery disk and it worked fine for a few days the have reappeared.
    I checked the ram and hard drive and there seems to be some errors.

    Now reinstall drive does not load correctly.
    If a page comes up saying installation is not complete.

    > I checked the ram and hard drive and there seems to be some errors.

    How did you check that?
    Have you used a new test strips of memory and the new HARD drive?

    To be honest, I don t think that your HARD drive is affected. The vertical dotted lines, could be more related question of graphics card in terms of the HARD drive.
    RAM question could also be possible, but I think that its GPU.

    By the way: you are able to access the BIOS?
    Turn on the computer and press F2. Then leave the laptop in BIOS for a few hours to check if some problems arise.
    Would be interesting to know how the unit would be

    Hello

    I have a minor problem. Yesterday, I update my Qosmio G20 on 2 GB of RAM and I have install Windows 7. Everything works fine even better than XP, but I notice that my blue led lights for volume no longer works.

    Is there a driver I need to install or any solution that these blue lights for the volume can function again?

    Hi Gabriel,

    I m not Qosmio G20 owner but I m asking you to install Windows 7. I think XP would be the best choice for this portable little plu

    In addition also check the BIOS if lighting is enabled.

  • Qosmio G20 screen is comatible with display Qosmio G10?

    Dose anyone know if the screen Toshiba Qosmio G10 is compatible with the Toshiba Qosmio G20?

    Thank you guys

    Of
    Sweet

    Hello

    I think display of the G20 should be compatible with the Qosmio G10 display.
    I searched a bit and found that the Qosmio G10-100 PQG10E was fitted with the 17 "WIDE XGA LCD.
    The Qosmio G20-101 PQG20E supports the same 17 "WIDE XGA display.

    Therefore, it seems that both units use the same screen.

  • Need advice on creating DVDs - Qosmio G20

    Hi all forum members

    In recent weeks, I am a happy owner of Qosmio G20. The camera is awesome and I have a lot of fun with it. Now I have the ability to create DVD movies because I Dona ¢ A? Â? t want to plug my cam on television every time if I want to watch the material recorded from my last vacation.

    I can connect my cam on the case without problems and can be recognized correctly. The video material is copied on the HARD drive, but when the DVD is created the image quality is very bad (LCD TV). I tried with a few different applications (WinDVD creator, Adobe premiere and Nero Vision Express), but always with the same result.

    I'll be very grateful if any of you have experience with the creations of DVD and try to explain to me what can do to make it better.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Could have different reasons:

    -Kompression
    try to set the MPEG compression at a higher quality (means: larger file size-> better.)

    -Cables used:

    Try to use RGB (SCART, YUV) or cable (aka Hosiden) SVHS instead of Chinch-video (aka FBAS).
    Also try to use good quality cables (not only those in the category - 5) here.

    -Monitor the device (used TV)
    Try to see the videos on a common TUBE TV (CRT) (not LCD or Plasma, not even on the tube cathode-pc screens)
    On the LCD or PLASMA TV screen you will be self a greater amount of compression artifacts.

    Please tell me if this solves the problem.

  • Qosmio G20: How do you get TV to work?

    Hi, I recently bought a laptop Toshiba Qosmio G20.

    I want to watch a Divx on my TV using the laptop as the player. But, I can't get anything to display on my TV, my TV remains empty.

    I tried pressing on now the keys Fn and F5 and this doen't seem to do anything. I opened the Nvidia graphics window and expand on my secondary display and I also tried to have a vision of "clone" of the laptop computer on my TV screen by clicking on the Advanced button. Nothing seems to work.

    Could someone help me please? I think that I am using a DVI cable (this is the cable where you can hang on the back of the laptop). In addition, if no one can give me more information so can someone give me the phone number of the technical support for Britain?

    Any help will be much appreciated.

    Hello

    Qosmio G20 supports the S-video port or video-D. You can connect to the TV with these ports.
    To view the video on the TV, be sure to set up the other parameters that you can see that nothing is displayed.
    Don't forget to use the FN + F5 shortcut to select the display device before you start playing the video. Don t change the display device all in video game.
    If the TV is connected to the computer, set the TV type in display properties.
    Click the setting tab, and then click the Advanced button. Click the Geforce tab, click current view and select TV. Click device settings and select TV format that your TV supports.
    When the TV is connected using D-video cable and the 1123i or 750 p is selected then kept copy of DVD video cannot be played correctly.

  • Qosmio G20: How to get rid of the large green volume screen?

    Hello

    I have a Qosmio G20 I bought at the Japan last year and have since changed drivers and English operating system. However one thing ive noticed, distinguished by the Japanese put in place, it is that whenever I adjust the Volume level by using the wheel on the right side of the laptop, a large green level Volume display appears on the screen. I want to get rid of this cos it takes place close to half of the screen. The Japanese version had this problem.

    I checked all the settings in the Panel and the various sections of both properties but couldn't find anything.

    Suggestions how to remove it? Qosmio users have this on their screen?

    Thank you.
