Qosmio G30 102 Fan & screen freeze

I was on my laptop the other day when i slightly bent the charger bit that goes into the laptop at the back and immediately the blue screen of death came up and my laptop shut down. I restarted my laptop only to realise that if i leave the charger in the fan goes out of control meaning it just starts going into overdrive without stopping and the laptop freezes and the only way to stop this is to swith the laptop off completely.
I rebooted my laptop thinking if could of been a software issue but as soon as i plugged in a USB device along with the charger my laptop again broke down in the same fashion (fan in overdrive and screen freezing).
I recently had my laptop fixed due to the graphics card being damaged and that was only 4-5 months ago what could it be this time since no other faults were found.
If anyone can help or give suggestions i would really appreciate it.
Thanks

You should get that adapter replaced, it may be shorting and causing bad voltage input, resulting in an unstable system.
I would send the whole system to an ASP for repair.

  • Qosmio G30-102 - Can I use it as HD screen for my PS3?

    Hi
    I've got a Qosmio G30-102 and I wanted to know would it be possible to connect up my Playstation 3 via *HDMI*??? At the moment I can only use the AV cables which is really fustrating. If i can use the laptop as the screen for my PS3 using the HDMI cable please inform me in how to do this since I have tried all methods that i can think of.
    Thanks

    Hi!
    There is no software available for this because its a hardware limitation and this cant be solved with a software.
    You have to understand that your notebook is equipped with a HDMI *output* port and not with an input port!! ;)
    What you can do with a HDMI port? You can connect your notebook to LCD screen via this port. You will have a better picture quality as with other connection possibilites like S-Video for example.
    For example I use the HDMI port of my notebook to watch movies on my LCD screen with HD quality or I watch my photos.

  • Qosmio G30-102 Optical SPDIF out not working

    I have bought new Qosmio G30-102 and I am quite sure that SPDIF Optical Out connector is not working.
    I can't test it at the moment, but I had a couple of SPDIF sound cards and every one of them had a red light on all the time, which signalized that Optical SPDIF is supported.

    Hi,
    maybe I would first try a SPDIF device, if I were you, because I agree with the user before, it has definetively a SPDIF out.

  • Qosmio G30-102 - Can I install Kingston DDR2-667 RAM insted DDR2-533 RAM?

    Hi
    I've got a Qosmio G30 102 and I wanted to upgrade my RAM to a total of 4GB (currently I've got 2GB installed with specifications of PC2-4300 DDR2 (533MHz)) . So I've been searching for RAM and I wanted to know would it be possible for me to install.
    *Kingston Technology - 2GB PC2 5300 DDR2 667MHz 200pin Memory SODIMM*. Would this work correctly and if so would it be better than getting a (*1GB) Memory PC2-4300 DDR2 (533MHz)* i.e. the standard RAM installed on my Qosmio???
    Thanks in advance for th answers
    Mo

    Hi!
    For upgrading RAM on my notebook I have used Kingston DDR2-667 and it works without any problems! :)
    So you can use this Kingston module too but I assume that it will only run on 533 MHz speed due the FSB limitation of the CPU. The FSB speed you can check with a hardware information tool like Everest or PC Wizard 2008 for example.
    As far as I know the notebook can be upgraded to 4GB maximum RAM.

  • Qosmio G30-102: Why is Picture Enhancement Utility not installed?

    Hi-
    I have recently purchased a Qosmio G30-102 with nVIDIA GeForce Go 7600. In chapter 6 of the user manual it refers to the Picture Enhancement Utility as part of the QosmioEngine facility. This does not seem to have come pre-installed on the notebook. How do I obtain this program and why is it not already on there?
    Thanks
    Mark

    Are you 100% sure that this application is missing on you notebook???
    I ask it because usually the TOSHIBA Picture Enhancement Utility V3.8.0.0 should be installed
    The QosmioEngine is active when using the Qosmio Player TV or the Qosmio Player DVD. Furthermore the Toshiba picture Enhancement Utility is available on the nVidia Go7300 models.
    If you have nVidia Go7300 graphic card you could check the Windows, Applications tabs in the nVidia desktop Manger

    My Qosmio G30 is already death I have got a estimate from official service, to repair my qosmio cost almost 600 pounds. Is a design fault. Look on internet.

    Sorry for it. I bought the Qosmio in July 2007. I contacted not seller but direct authorized service of Czech Toshiba in Brno (we have others two in Prague and Hradec Kralove). In Brno they told me "it is normal". I has also trouble with display, it came scratchy from keyboard after a while (before I used the Dell XPS and not trouble as this at all, only there replaced for the start fens, twice graphic card, chipset, twice motherboard, once grr my English, the box which is on power line :) and they decided that this piece have some troubles so gave me money back. I bought this Qosmio because I read some review where it was mentioned as great machine. Hm, but it surprised me that they told me that only with Vista it can be sell. I tell you this time Vista just started and some blinking screen surprised them. At last they told "it is normal" again. They told me to the strips over my jobs and collapsing program (Photoshop) that it was not sell with this notebook so not warranty with this. When I asked them what about a game program which will not run on this notebook if it is normal, they told yes, not warranty. When I asked them where is on NVidia driver for Vista that it is strange that still not there, they told me use the new Toshiba driver. I told them I used and it is not working very well. At last they told that in original configuration (it means with the original old driver) it was working very well. I told yes, till this moment when it was totaly empty and you have been surfing on the web or doing nothing. Also programms as Windows Media Center was not working at all.. they told upgrade will be soon... At winter 2008 came first time driver from NVidia on the web for Vista. It select it automaticaly, if it overwrite my original drive GeForce Go 7600 to 7650 it was working much better that the Toshiba one. But still collapsing windows after a while, windows which has inside black or window from program which was open under it or only desktop. It got overheat always. Everything with my jobs last to long. I was seating and watching processing, windows over windows, strips over it.
    The last summer they did diagnostic for it and found nothing wrong. It was August 2008. I contacted also one of high managers of Czech Toshiba. He wrote me that I have to change service station. But I was 3 days before half year trip overseas. In September came this issue from Toshiba about replacement and troubles with cards.
    See links where the trouble is. The graphic card has troubles in all computers everywhere, not only in Qosmio. I think Toshiba did also mistake with Vista on this notebook. I am sure with XP it should work much better

    http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9106 398
    The two mens in Brno CHG Toshiba (service) I know personaly. Also the manager has private contact to me. Nobody wrote: Hana come back!
    I pay fot this notebook over 80.000 CZK. In this time it was approx. over 3.000 Euro. I am working with photographs and truly this slow machine was for over 2 years big break for me!
    I like to be fair and never will wrote what is not true. To display: serie G40 have much stronger frame. Anyone can tell me why? They argue that I am puting something heavy on it. Maximum my glases which I am using not very offen. If you take sides of this notebook, or if you put something under one of stands, it is flexible. They told me you have to use something between keyboard and display. Well, I should but trouble is that when I bought it was not included, nowhere in manual it is mentioned. My last notebooks were without trouble as this as well (both 17").
    I was not only one not happy customer http://www.asklaptopfreak.com/laptop-notebook-help/2007/07/08/toshiba-qosmio-g30-screen-problem/comment-page-1/#comments
    to this all. I am using laptop every day and at service they told me that I have replace everything an put everything in original so they will check if it is working. I have not time to do everything, backup and after it installing all back! Truly if somebody used not correct components why customer have to be in so big troubles?
    I asked specialist for report. I told him about my troubles and his answer was that he did one return the last year. The display have on sides holes and via this is going in to the display dirt (have all ready this there also). I will claim money return and payment of the expert when I came from my business trip. I hope I will be able to buy another laptop at first so I can continue my job without delay.
    Sorry for so long writing and for my not best English. Sorry that I have to write it at all. Be sure I will prefere to be happy customer!
    Regards, Hana

  • Qosmio G30 repeatedly "blue screens"

    My G30-153 repeatedly blue screens lately.
    It would restart then blue screen again after a while. I tried to recover it with the recovery CD but it blue screens before this can complete.
    My collegue believes the fan is not operating.
    How can this be verified? Perhaps something in the BIOS?
    How can I check if there is dirt on the fan ? Maybe it just needs cleaning?
    Can the fan be replaced by a user or is this something only a dealer should do?
    Could this be a virus and not the fan at all ??

    Hi
    As I understand the BSOD appears and the notebook shuts down automatically. Am I right?
    Usually the BSOD appears if there is a critical software problem or the hardware would malfunctions.
    I believe its a second possibility due to the fact that the installation from the Recovery CD cannot be performed correctly!
    > My colleague believes the fan is not operating. How can this be verified? Perhaps something in the BIOS?
    Can you hear the cooling module? Usually if the fan rotates you should be able to hear this.
    The dust and debris inside the notebook could lead to the fan rotation problems and to the overheating issues.
    If the notebook would overheat the OS would shut down the notebook automatically to prevent the hardware from damage!
    Maybe its your case!
    > How can I check if there is dirt on the fan ? Maybe it just needs cleaning? Can the fan be replaced by a user or is this something only a dealer should do?
    Usually the technician should check the notebook and if necessary should clean it. But if you have a little bit notebook experience you could try to clean the fans using the professional cooling module cleaning tool. Every notebook dealer offers the compressed air spays. This can help you to blow the air through the cooling modules to get rid of the dust and debris.
    But if you have no experience, contact the technician for the help!
    >Could this be a virus and not the fan at all?
    No, I dont think it's a virus issue but of course maybe an other device problem

  • Qosmio G30-126 Blue screen

    Hi,
    can somebody help me with below message.
    STOP: 0x0000008E (0xC0000005, 0x8FA09B32, 0x8D0D382C, 0x00000000)
    nvlddmkm.sys - adress 8FA09B32 base at 8F7C1000, date stamp 45a91e5d
    I've tried several things, like using the recovery disk, but it did not change the situation .
    Now it even isn't possible to start in safe mode because the installation is only completed when restart is complete. At the moment the laptop doesn't do anything.
    Pleas let me know what you think is the problem.

    Hi
    The file nvlddmkm.sys seems to belong to the graphic card driver.
    I googled a little bit and some users had the nvlddmkm.sys BSOD while playing a Blueray disks.
    Some users could solve this by deleting / uninstalling the display driver.
    After new graphic card driver installation and update, the BSOD didnt appear again.
    Now the question is if you can boot the Windows OS?
    If this is not possible, then a graphic card issue might be possible too but this should be checked firstly. I think in such case new, fresh OS installation could be helpful to check if the BSOD is software related or hardware related problem.
    If its software related, then new OS installation should fix this

  • Qosmio G30 freezes upon Norton Internet Security 2008 startup

    Norton Internet Security 2008 will freeze my computer as soon it tries to load and the only way to go on is to restart the system by pressing the on/off-button.
    My notebook is a Toshiba Qosmio G30-177 (Model No. PQG32E-02G022GR) with Vista Ultimate and NIS2007 pre-installed. I have no problems with this NIS2008 version on my other notebook (Qosmio F10 - PQF10E-02300JGR, WinXP MCE).
    NIS2007 runs fine on my G30 and I do not have any problems at all, but newer versions of NIS seem to get in conflict with my system:
    1. I am able to install and run the new version, download all updates and adjust the settings. Maybe one or two days later my computer will freeze after start exactly when the tray icon of NIS appears. For a couple of seconds there is just no response of the system at all and the LED's of my notebook show that all HD activity has stopped. After being idle for these couple of seconds, the cooling fan will start to operate at maximum power, creating a tremendous noise I never experienced before, not even while the CPU was running at 100% for some time due to other programs. Forcing a restart is all I can do.
    2. Now this time, I successfully restarted my notebook again (took some attempts) and it suddenly did not freeze. Then I disabled firewall and auto-protect permanently, so there was no freezing upon startup and I just had to manually activate both firewall and auto-protect after start. In order to prevent freezing again after reboot, I always disabled NIS before shutdown. For the next one or two days this workaround was quite successful.
    3. All of a sudden, after one or two days, this workaround is going to become useless, because the system starts to freeze again at the very moment the tray icon appears. In this case, restarting has no effect at all, and NIS will continue to freeze at startup. I also tried to prevent NIS form starting by no longer allowing ccApp.exe to automatically run upon start (administrative tools > system configuration > "startup" tab). This is successful and my notebook is able to start normally, but if I later try to start NIS manually, it will freeze again.
    I had this problem since NIS2008 was just released, so I thought that meanwhile a Windows or Norton update might have fixed the issue, but this weekend I gave NIS2008 another try without success. I am almost sure that the problem is not caused by any other software than Windows and/or Norton, because I also tried to install NIS after a full system recovery, thus having only pre-installed NIS2007 and Vista on my notebook. I did use the Norton removal tool and followed the deinstall instructions before trying to install the newer version of course.
    My last hope was that the NIS2009beta version somehow would not freeze my system, but it does. It does not matter if I try to run 2008 or 2009beta version, the problem is exactly the same.
    What really drives me almost crazy is the fact that NIS runs perfectly for some time, then needs a rather small workaround, and then after some time totally refuses to work. In these couple of days I did not change any system settings, install or deinstall any programs or did anything that I felt could conflict with NIS...
    So far, I have no idea of a solution and have to use NIS2007 again.
    Does anybody know how to solve this problem?

    Hi !
    I use NIS since 2001 and never had any serious trouble with this software.
    There could be some compatibility problem, but I don't think that Vista is causing it, because otherwise a lot more people should have the same problem. Even the installation of all current Windows, NIS and Qosmio updates did not solve it. Of course I tried to get help using Symantec's Support and their user forums, but without success. This problem seems to be a rare one (unfortunately for me). I tested the NIS2009beta and even though it's a new version, the PC freezes again when this program starts. And this made me think that maybe a service or setup by Toshiba causes the problem and other Vista users are not affected. It's a strange thing that the pre-installed NIS2007 version is running fine...
    Cheers,
    Mario

  • Qosmio G30 - black screen on external monitor

    Qosmio G30 (PQG32E) running Vista Home Premium, NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 driver, 7.15.10.9813
    I cannot get a picture on an external monitor (tried two different monitors). Specifically:
    'Windows Mobility Center' will recognise that a monitor is connected
    'NVIDIA Control Panel - Change Display Configuration' will recognise the external monitor ('Select the displays you would like to use' shows 'Laptop Display + Sony SDM-HS73', which is the plugged-in ext monitor)
    but no matter what configuration I try, using Fn+F5 or Change Display Configuration, I cannot get anything but a (backlit) black screen on the external monitor.
    The monitor is receiving a video signal correctly: when turned off under a laptop-only Fn+F5 setting, it shows a 'no signal' warning, but when turned on again I just get black.
    I have tried changing resolution settings for the external monitor. They exactly match the monitor's native resolution. Still nothing.
    Tried 'Clone' mode and 'Dual View' mode.
    Tried various different orders of switching the laptop and monitor on, plugging and unplugging, etc.
    Have installed latest driver from this Toshiba site (as above). Have NOT tried installing any other driver from the NVIDIA site, since it warns to use Toshiba's - but is that worth a try?
    The laptop's own screen and all other aspects of video are fine.
    It has worked ok in the past (I think before I did the upgrade to Vista, when it was still on XP).
    Do I just wait for another driver update from Toshiba, and perhaps Vista SP1?
    I'm really hoping this is not a hardware issue, since the monitor is recognised etc....
    Jonathan

    What port did you use?
    The external monitor (analog) port or the D-video out port?
    As far as I know if you have used the external monitor (analog) port then you should choose the Analog display in the nVidia -> current display
    Then you could use the button FN+F5 to switch between the both displays.

  • Power Mac G5 PPC Screen Freeze Turbo Fan Issue

    Hello...
    I've read most, if not all of the related posts; however, I have not seen any definitive answer to this issue.
    My, almost mint condition, Power Mac G5 PPC has recently started the screen freeze, turbo fan, won't boot issue that seems to be prevalent with these models.  I've tried almost all of the suggested troubleshooting fixes and have had no luck.  My most recent attempt was to try and start in single-user mode (holding SHIFT + S at startup) and I received the following error screen then turbo fans: http://www.thishateofmine.com/Assets/photos/appleCPUpower.jpg
    Remember...this is a PPC, so why am I getting an error referencing Intel CPU Power Management?  This leads me to believe the OSX 10.5.8 I've been running has installed system resources for non-existent CPU's and is causing a conflict.  This would be a major coding error on Apple's behalf, would it not?
    I never had this issue when running any previous OS version and this computer had been running spectacularly.
    It has only been used in my clean, smoke-free, home recording studio and if it werent' for a few blemishes left by external HDD's, this computer could pass as brand new.  There is very little internal dust and I have kept it clean with electronics approved compressed air.  I have not removed anything to get at the PSU area for cleaning, though.
    If I could get it to boot from the original DVD's and install up from Panther, I would.  Based on the error message I'm receiving, I do not believe this is a logic board, RAM, CPU, etc... issue.  The computer will boot into open firmware and function fine, but not the OS; therefore, this would be an OS problem, right?  Is that not a logical mental path?
    This HAS to be a known issue and have a resolve that is NOT logic board and/or CPU replacement related.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    BTW...please read this as a positive communication from a frustrated (knowledgeable enough to be dangerous) user.  I just want my G5 back. 

    After plugging in the G5 PPC, as it had been unplugged for several days, here are last night’s efforts:
    With only the original, main Hitachi Deckstar 400GB HDD in slot 1, I attempted to boot normal, boot holding SHIFT + COMMAND + V, boot holding COMMAND + S and boot to the original install DVD, all with no joy.  In my original post I incorrectly stated I was attempting to boot into single-user mode by holding SHIFT + S, which resulted in the screen displaying the OP’s linked image.  In attempting to boot into (actual) single-user mode and verbose mode, I get two different text messages – and have taken screen photos, but have not been able to upload yet – both of which stop with “DART enabled” and then do nothing else with no cursor capability, only to result in turbo fans and having to hold the power button down to shut down.
    Next I ran (again) the Apple Hardware Test from the original install DVD and everything passed. 
    Feeling confident the hardware is all in working order, I used my brother’s Macbook Pro 3.1 (OS v10.6.8) as the host to mount the G5 PPC in target disk mode.  The PPC’s HDD mounts up with no issues and everything is accessible, so I shut down and swapped the original HDD with a 500GB Western Digital Caviar SE16 that did not have an OS on it, restarted to AHT DVD and ran test again with everything passing.
    Now I reconnected the target disk mode setup, formatted the PPC’s WD HDD and installed Leopard on it while in TDM from the MBP3.1.  Everything installed, restarted will still TDM connected, MBP3.1 started up with the PPC’s HDD as the startup disk, went through all the typical initial install information and registration and voila I’m back in target disk mode with the PPC’s HDD as my boot disk and MBP3.1’s HDD on the desktop.  Everything’s accessible, functions and looks good.
    Keeping in mind I’m only dangerously knowledgeable regarding computers, I’m thinking I should be able to shut everything down and now boot the G5 PPC from the internal WD HDD I just installed the OS on, right?  Wrong.  All I get is the infamous folder with a flashing question mark.
    Help!!!  (…please???)
    BTW…as it has been mentioned in a few posts, but is one thing I have not done yet, I thought it worth mentioning.  I have not replaced the internal battery, but the last time I was able to get the computer to boot to the internal HDD and run for a short period of time, after being unplugged for several days, I did have to re-enter time, date, location, etc… info.  The actual last time I got it to boot, I did not do this, as it only got as far as loading the desktop before freezing, but the time was correct.  Didn’t get a chance to check date and location, as it froze almost instantaneously.

  • Qosmio G30 - external screen via HDMI connection - bad resolution

    Hi! This problem is driving me crazy, please help if you can...
    I have just bought a G30-102 and I'm trying to use it with an external screen via the HDMI connection. The problem I'm having is that the native resolution of 1920x1200 cuts off the edges of the desktop and the quality looks terrible - its almost like the whole screen is zoomed in. I tried this with a BenQ FP241wz at first (which is 1080i 1920x1200) and the Toshiba helpline couldn't find a solution either - even after painfully reinstalling all of the drivers etc.
    Its been going on for so long, I thought that I would try it out with my HDTV instead, just to be sure it wasn't a monitor issue. So I tried it with my Toshiba 32WLT66 - and have just found that it has exactly the same problem.
    All of the display settings appear to be correct and the G30 is convinced that the output is correct, so the question I have now is - do you think that its 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 this is a problem with the G30 hardware I need to talk to Toshiba immediately about replacing or fixing it.

    Hi - thanks for the reply!
    My BIOS doesn't allow me to choose much for the display - just between PAL and NTSC really.`As for the document, thanks for the link - unfortunately though there wasn't anything in it that I haven't already tried.
    What would be the most obvious thing that could be wrong? Faulty port? Faulty card? Or could it even be as simple as a faulty HDMI lead?

  • Qosmio G30-201 connected to LCD - how to fit the whole screen?

    Hi
    I have a Qosmio G30-201 laptop and also using a Toshiba WLT58 32 inch widescreen LCD with a HDMI Connector.
    I am trying to get the film that I am watching to fill the whole screen and leave the borders off.
    Is this possible?

    Hi
    Did you check if there is an option in the DVD player software which you use to watch DVDs??? Please check it!
    Additionally you could check the NVIDIA graphic card properties -> advanced settings.
    There you will find tab called GeForce Go.
    Thee you should open the table at the left side which provides useful options.
    Go to the device settings -> device adjustment.

  • Shadow on Qosmio G30 screen

    Hi,
    I hope someone can help. I have a Qosmio G30-161. I've never owned a laptop before and think this is great, but one question I do have though is that when I turn it on and see the black screen as it boots up I can notice a sort of shadow in the middle portion of the screen. If I move right up to the computer it seems to fade a bit but I'm not sure if this is normal or not? Does anyone else with a Qosmio ever notice this???
    Is it just due to where the lamps are or is my screen a bit dodgy? It looks OK when I watch things on it but if there are breaks in TV programs with a black screen I can notice it if I look for it?
    Thanks so much in advance

    Do you mean the Operating System? I can see it but only on a black screen and if I really look for it- it's less visible here than when I turn it on. It looks like it may be due to the makeup of the screen but I don't know if this is normal for LCD displays as I've ever had one before. It's most obvious when I boot up the Qosmio player in a dark room. It looks like a slightly darker strip vertically in the centre of the screen - I can only really see this when the screen is black??

Maybe you are looking for
