My Qosmio G50-129 keeps overheating, extreme lag

i bought a Toshiba qosmio g50-129 and i have had it for about 9-10 months.
Now, every time i play a game, it overheats and i get so much lag that it gets down to 3-5 Frames per second.
This occurs every 1-2 minutes and lasts for 30-45 seconds, it makes a lot of noise and makes my computer lag a lot.
Is it " broken"?
I have always handled it very carefully, never got virus. i even formated the C: drive to see if it the problem was gone, it was gone for about 5 days, i only downloaded world of warcraft.
What ive tried:
Update all drivers.
Closing all other applications, all unnecessary processes.
Reducing graphics to abseloutely minimum.
It has 512 mb graphic card, nvidia gmt 9600 or smthing.
4gb ddr3 1k mhz RAM
2,66GHZ processor. intel core 2 duo t9550

Hi
What graphic card driver did you use?
You should always use the Toshiba graphic card driver since such driver supports an overheating protection!!
Last week I read on 3rd party page that original nVidia graphic card driver has been removed from nVidia page because it caused a GPU overheating
Hopefully you didnt use the graphic card driver from nVidia page
Second question;
Do you use latest BIOS?
If not, please update this!!!

  • Qosmio G50 129: can it be used/accessed by other DLNA products?

    Hello
    I have a Qosmio G50-129. I am looking to purchase a DLNA certified TV but wanted to know whether the laptop is DLNA compatible so that I could access the content from my Qosmio on the TV or if there was anything that I needed to do to make the Qosmio "DLNA compatible"?
    The http://www.dlna.org/digital_living/product_types/#pc_frame website advises the below:
    "Personal Computers (PCs)
    Anyone who has a PC knows that they have powerful networking capabilities built into them. So, their DLNA Certified potential is determined solely by the type of software installed on them.
    DLNA Certified PCs are able to act as a Digital Media Server (DMS), Digital Media Player (DMP), Digital Media Controller (DMC) or Digital Media Renderer (DMR). Most of the PCs available today start by being certified as a DMS, since a lot of us keep the bulk of our digital content on our PCs."
    There is also a search and match section on the site which doesn't bring up my Qosmio model. Does this mean I cannot or is there a solution/workaround for this?
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    REkha

    As far as I know any PC with a network interface (e.g. Ethernet or Wi-Fi) can become a DLNA device by installing DLNA software. In January 2010 DLNA began a certification program for software.
    As far as I know Toshiba will offer new application in future and make DLNA usage more comfortable. It should be an interface to Windows Media Player.
    At the moment you can try to use standard Windows 7 functions that should be available in Windows media player 12 (bundled with Windows 7).
    To be honest I don't have other DLNA device and cannot test it but very soon I want to buy DLNA bluray player with integrated WLAN and want to have access to my PC and watch movies on TV but saved on notebooks HDD.
    So pick up some info about DLNA function on Windows media player 12 and see how it works.
    Please be so nice and inform us about all this.

    Can anyone tell me where i can get this from?
    Thank you

    Hi
    I dont know how to help you mate fact is that all parts can be ordered from Toshiba ASP.
    So if you are not able to find such part somewhere in the internet, then you should get in contact with Toshiba ASP in your country and the guy should be able to order such part for you.

  • Qosmio G50-129 - Can't run Windows 7 SP1 on large HDD (1TB)

    Hi,
    I have a G50-129. I have replaced the primary HDD with a 1TB unit which works fine. Windows 7 Ultimate x64 installed and all of the drivers are installed, too, including the Robson drivers which include the Intel Matrix Manager.
    I then tried installing Windows SP1 and I get a catastrophic failure. I also tried the Windows Update Standalone Installer, which fails with error 0xc8000247.
    I have seen a number of threads, here and elsewhere, which cite the Intel SATA drivers as being in need of an update. The SATA controller seems to be the ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller.
    I have downloaded the latest version (IATA89ENU.exe ver 12.0.0.49974) and still get the same problem.
    Can anyone suggest anythying (apart from put the old disk back in)?

    Thanks, both.
    I think the problem is the sector size - SQL Server is complaining about the sector size being 3k (it says that Master data and log files were created on a 4k sector size and that the sector size needs to be that or less and it's currently 3k). I guess that it means that it must be 4, 2, 1k or 512 bytes. I asked Tosh if I could put in a 1TB drive and thay said it should be OK but may need a BIOS update. Mine is fully updated.
    I tried sfc /scannow and it reports corrupt files it can't fix; I rebooted and re - ran with the same result.
    I can't install the System Update Readiness Tool - it also errors.
    CHKDSK has started but got to the 1 second to press any key to skip and has just hung there - none of the usual info about the disk it's working on . The disk light is flicking, though, so I'll keep waiting for a while.
    If that does nothing I'll re - install Windows from scratch with the Intel Rapid Storage Driver loaded when it asks for the disk to install on and see if that helps.

  • Qosmio G50-129 PQG55E - 64Bit Windows 7 Upgraded - How To Update BIOS?

    Hello,
    I have a Qosmio G50 that I have upgraded to Windows 7 64bit. My BIOS is unupdated from 6 months ago when I bought the machine.
    I went to update the BIOS just to keep things up to date, so I went through the online driver wizard:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
    And with all the above information inputted, it provides:
    http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/bios-20090312131718.zip
    After unzipping and running P0060v210.exe, it extracts and then says:
    " [Error] BIOS Update is not supported OS. Unsupported OS or service pack is installed. " (Word up to all my Googling friends!) "
    Does Toshiba have a BIOS update for the Qosmio G50 that is supported on Windows 7? Specifically 64bit? They should fix this glitch that directs you to download this file when it clearly isn't supported by Windows 7.
    Also, I tried to run it in compatibility mode with Windows XP SP2 and it ran fine -- but I was nervous about going through with the update if it originally doesn't support Windows 7, so I don't continue at the next prompt. Is it safe to do this? Has anyone else in this situation done it without issues? I've read that BIOS updates can go horribly wrong if not careful, so I'm hesitant to update the BIOS by running the updater in compatibility mode when it doesnt support Windows 7 on its own!
    Thanks in advance for any assistance and Merry Xmas.

    Hi All,
    Sorry ,my English is not perfect.I have a Toshiba Qosmio G50-12K.The solution is go to the US Toshiba website.Here is the link:
    http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=2140527& rpn=PQG55U&modelFilter=G55-Q805&selCategory=3&selFamily=804517
    There are all of the BIOS what is available. The 2.1 BIOS exactly the same as on the European website just they used a zip file. If you guys open it you will find the same .exe file, the file size is the same, but don't use this one, instead of it you can find there an ISO file. Write a CD with this one, turn off the computer and boot from the CD, use the F12 button. This is a safety way update the BIOS. But I use the 2.3, this is newest one, for me this one is works much better, because the display is more bright. I hope this is a big help for you and you understand my English! :)

  • Qosmio G40 - graphic card keeps overheating and crashing while gaming

    My nVidia 8600GT card in my Qosmio G40 laptop keeps overheating and crashing when Im gaming.
    It runs all the games I put on it fine, but overheats then crashes and kicks me out of the games Im playing.
    Is it just because its a laptop and its prone to do this?
    I have tried to increase the fan speed using riva tuner and precision, but neither program allows me to access to the fan speed utility.
    I presume this is because its a laptop specific card... I also cannot find driver updates for this card from nVidia.
    Please help.....James

    Hi!
    Are you using the Toshiba display driver? This is important because the manufactures driver dont have an overheat protection and so the graphic chip can be damaged.
    Furthermore this could be also an overheating issue. So you should clean your notebook with compressed air spray that you can buy from a local computer dealer.
    Last but not least I would not try to change the fan speed or something else. This will be controlled automatically.
    Bye

  • How to install "YUAN FM100" on Qosmio G50?

    I recently purchased a new Toshiba Qosmio G50 laptop.
    From the first start up Windows keeps giving me a message saying 'Windows needs to install driver software for your YUAN FM100'.
    Google suggests YUAN is the company that makes the TV Tuner software - I emailed their support centre a couple of weeks ago, but have had no response.
    I can't find the driver anywhere - I've spent ages googling this.
    I'm running 64 bit Windows Vista, if that's relevant?
    In 'device manager', under 'other devices' Qosmio G50 comes up twice, both with the yellow warning exclamation mark.
    Should I disable both of these?
    Thanks in advance for any help you can give - please reply using words a 3 year old would understand!
    Thanks
    Steve

    Thanks to both of you.
    Short story - success!
    Long story;
    The driver isn't C:\TOSAPINS so I went to www.toshiba.ca (I'd already looked in the .au - Australia site, where I'd bought the machine).
    The driver is available for 4 different variations of Qosmio G50 PQG55C, however, I have PQG55A. I downloaded the driver anyway (for the PQG55C 043049) but it didn't work. 'Windows could not find driver software for your device'.
    So then I clicked setup in the downloaded utility, and it appeared to install the whole FM Tuner application. I have the impression my PC was asking me for a driver for a program which it didn't fully have, but then I'm a moron so what do I know.
    Anyway, all installed now, and it's not asking me for any more drivers.
    Haven't a clue how to open or use the FM tuner though...
    Thank you!

  • How to connect video-in cable with Qosmio G50?

    Hi
    I bought the Qosmio G50-11S, and received a video in cable with it. (Red/White/Yellow RCA jack to mini jack) But I cannot find any way of connecting it to my notebook, not the manual nor any online resources talks about it. The issue is I need to capture video from my video recorder to my notebook and the normal TV antenna comes with a lot of noise, so I which to utilize the video in cable. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hello
    In the past Ive made some experiments with it. I wanted to create DVDs copying the material from old VHS recorder. Do you want to use the same recorder? Ive done this on Qosmio G30 but the principle is the same.
    The fact is that you must send the signal to the notebook and for this you must use video-in port.
    I don't see your Qosmio has several of them so I think only way to send signal into your notebook is to use antenna-in port. Which video-out port you want to use on your recorder?

  • EXTREME lag after installing Windows 8.1 pro via / Bootcamp assistant

    Hey guys, today I've literally been through **** trying to get this game working on my MacBook Pro.
    I've basically gone out & bought Windows 8, created a partition on my hardrive (of my MacBook Pro) & installed it into that partition using Apples 'Bootcamp assistant'. After installing the operating system I also loaded the drivers which were given to me by Apples 'Bootcamp assistant'.
    I now have the game on the Windows 8 (on my MacBook) which is a £2000 machine... I have got to the menu & experienced extreme lag to the point where I've even managed to turn down all my video settings & it is still lagging a lot despite my high-end computer hardware - here is my computer http://store.apple.c...B/A&step=config#
    I have tried running the game on this website http://www.systemrequirementslab.com & everything is great but it says I don't have the required 512MB of video RAM... It says I have 256MB. This is complete ********? I believe I have 2GB of GDDR5 video RAM. It also says that my graphics card is called 'Microsoft Basic Display Adapter'. So I believe this is where the issue lies. My theory is for some reason one of the drivers which I have installed which was given to me by the Bootcamp assistant is messing with me.
    This is literally all the information I can possibly provide, does anybody know how I could fix this?
    Thanks you!

    If the underlying hardware was exposed correctly by the CSM-BIOS when Windows was installed, your Device Manager should look like this.
    If the Windows installer did not see any devices as your screen indicates, Windows will use generic software-based drivers which will be very slow and painful.
    Rudegar ... I think the Windows installer did not see  any hardware, otherwise there should be HW with yellow triangles with exclamation marks.

  • Qosmio G50 No sound over HDMI

    *Qosmio G50 No sound over HDMI*
    Hi all,
    Hopefully anyone recognises the following and would be so kind to help me. I have searched the forum and tried severall of the offered solutions mainly applicable to Vista, but still.
    I hooked up my Qosmio G50 to my Philips LCD by HDMI cable. Picture is ok but there is no sound. I tested the cable with a Toshiba Satelite Pro L550 and it works allright. Picture and Sound are working. But that laptop has Intel HDMI audio.
    I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. I upgraded by Toshiba update DVD from Vista 64 bit. Sadly I do not know for sure if HDMI audio did work before that. I think so because I did use the laptop for watching a movie on a Panasonic plasma. But I can not remember if that was before or after the upgrade.
    Realtek HD Audio device is installed driver version 6.0.1.5923
    Realtek HDMI Output is selected als default playback device.
    Testing gives me graphical response ( the indicator flashes ) but no audible sound from my tv.
    Choosing the other audio device Realtek Digital output changes nothing and I do not believe that this would work anyway.
    I have tried removing the device and reinstalling the original drivers. I have tried REaltek drivers from their website.
    I have tried changing the view to HDMI only but that does nog change anything either.
    One thing that worries me is that under Sound / Realtek HDMI Output / properties / Supported Formats there are no formats present. The Satelite gives me DTS audio and some other. So I am wondering if there should be formats present and if so how can I change this / add any.
    Please forgive me if there are errors in the text. I am translating this from a dutch language version of Windows 7.
    Please help me. Any suggestions are welcome!

    Jeka-?? & PinkPanther thanks for your replies!
    The solution for the G30 you mention is not the one for me I am sorry to say. I have tried that one allready. Windows automatically switches on the HDMI audio out when I connect an HDMI cable. Connecting the cable before switching on the TV and laptop is a good thing to try because it eliminates possible problems with the connection. The connection in my case is ok.
    At some point I concluded that there must be a softwareproblem of some sort.
    I have found the solution over night. Could not sleep anyway. I did not know that the videodrivers are also handling HDMI audio out but in a way it makes sense. I have completely deinstalled the NVIDIA video drivers. After downloading the latest drivers and installing them everything works absolutely fine!

  • Need new laptop charger for my Qosmio G50

    I've got a Toshiba Qosmio G50 laptop that I bought quite a few years ago and the charger for it finally konked out on me from heavy use and bending of the cord.
    I've been trying to search for a charger for it with the same specifications as the one I currently have. I think the product number for it is PA3658E-1AC3B and it's specs are like 120W, 6.3A, 19V, 5.5mm/2.5mm.
    I have been unable to find a charger with these specs and when I search for other chargers with similar specs and so on, when lists of compatible laptops come up, my laptop is never in the list. Now I'm wondering if this is due to because the laptop is actually incompatible or due to the fact that it is rather quite old.
    Also, does anyone know what laptop chargers I could be able to use or specs for them. Like would a charger with these specs work for my laptop?
    Output: 19V 4.74A 90W
    DC Barrel Tip: 5.5 x 2.5mm
    Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    I dont know where do you live but go to eBay and there you will find proper charger. As far as I know you can use any charger that is offered for Qosmio G50.
    If you want to have original part for your model contact nearest Toshiba service provider in your country and order one.

    Hi
    This does not look good dude
    Im afraid that your motherboard could be faulty.
    The battery indicator flashes orange because of charging.
    If the battery indicator would be blue (or green), then this would mean that the battery is fully charged.
    What you can do is to remove one of the memory modules and try to boot up the unit using one module in each slot
    Sometimes faulty RAM prevent the notebook from booting.
    However, such notebook symptoms are mostly related to serious hardware issues and it would be advisable to get in contact with an notebook technician who could test the hardware for malfunction
