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 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: how to connect analog TV and satellite TV simultaneously

Hi, I have a Qosmio G30-126 and have a problem with simultaneous receiving analog TV (by TV-in port in built-in TV tuner) and satellite channels from satellite set-top-box (by AV-in ports).
I can programm Windows Media Center for analog TV (but without satellite STB) by antenna TV-in port and it works perfectly.
I can programm Windows Media Center for digital channels from satellite STB (but without analog TV) by AV-in ports and it works perfectly.
But i can't program Windows Media Center for both analog TV i satellite STB, because during programming WMC forces me to choose between analog TV or satellite decoder and doesn't allow me to choose two signal sources.
For me it is a big problem, because I have cable TV (analog) and satellite STB with digital channels. And I want to watch on my Qosmio all channels.
Could anyone help me?

>... because during programming WMC forces me to choose between analog TV or satellite decoder and doesn't allow me to choose two signal sources.
I think in this statement you answered your question. I had Qosmio G30 long time ago and i also know that WMC cannot handle with two signal sources at the same time.
To confirm this contact Microsoft and ask them. I mean they have designed WMC and know how it works exactly.
Toshiba has just offered proper hardware (TV tuner) to offer TV option on this notebook.

Qosmio G30-126 - Strange scratching noise

Hi!
I have a Qosmio G30-126 and OS Vista Ultimate. about a month ago my laptop was taken to service because it wouldn't turn on, but since last week, when I started it up there was a prolonged scratching noise on the startup, and since then whenever Im listening to music or if the laptop's on standby, there are some very weird scratching sounds coming out from the speakers. Short sounds that keep being repeated. Sometimes they stop after a few times, and other times, like last night, I had to restart.
I tried updating all available drives, but everything seemed up-to-date. I also googled the issue, but none of what I found was relative.
Can someone give me a clue as to what the issue might be? Is there something I haven't thought of that needs to be done?
Thanks a lot in advance!

That might be an option...how can i see if it is the fan though? Is there a way to do it on my own?
Is it possible that these sound issues might be because of overusage? I don't keep my laptop on 24 hrs a day, but some days it's on till the evening. But only after the service did this whole thing occur..

Hi Martin
First of all its interesting if you have downloaded and installed all Toshiba Vista drivers which are released on the Toshiba European driver page?
All drivers must be installed in the right order!
If I'm not mistaken the Qosmio G30-126 belongs to the PQG32E series. It was delivered with HD DVD drive and therefore you should choose the drivers for Qosmio G30 HD DVD (PQG32E)!!!
Please check firstly the Installation Instructions txt file and then install all drivers like mentioned in this document.
Regarding the display issue;
You should install the right NVIDIA driver from the Toshiba page!!
The FN keys and control buttons dont work because the Toshiba Vista Value Added Package was not installed. This package contains different applications which are necessary to get all Toshiba functions running!
Good luck

Qosmio G30-126 - Win7 or Vista instaltion hdd not showing

Hello everyone,
i have one system Qosmio g30-126.
I dont have the recovery cds.
I want to instal the Win7 or Win Vista.
He is not showing me the both 200+200 HDD.
plz telling to me what i do.

Hi mate
I think you dont need a SATA driver but RAID driver!
As far as I know the Qosmio G30 supports RAID and therefore you need to include the RAID driver.
Visit the Toshiba European driver page and download the RAID driver which is listed in the list.
Note: Choose the Archive in Product Type because G30 is an older series.
After you have downloaded and uzipped the driver, you will have to add this driver during the Windows installation setup.

Qosmio G30-126 - How to get access to the bios!

I have a laptop Qosmio G30-126 and I don't know the key for entering the bios to change to properties for the HDD or any thing... so how to get access to the bios? what is the key for the bios??

Hi
Try to press the F2 button while powering the unit.
Older Toshiba notebooks supported the ESC and then F1 button
So these two options are possible

Re: Qosmio G30 and green screen issue

Dear friends
I thing is interesting for any owner of Qosmio to have a look this:

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 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 G30-126 - start up problem with blank screen

My laptop was running perfectly untill i suddenly found it booting with the start up sound enable but without any picture appearing on the display untill i got the windows login page at which the picture appeared with its normal perfect resolution.
The operating system is Windows 7 which was working smoothly, with all toshiba drivers installed from more than 3 monthes and the device was normally shut down the time before the problem appeared.
I tried using the recovery disc but the problem is that i cant see any thing! the computer is working but the display is black as if the laptop is completly turned off.
I tried to connect another external LG LCD but it didnt give any results but only a blank screen.
I really need help in this issue as this laptop contains all my work and i depend on it alot.

Hi Jeka-??
First, thanks for the reply. Second i think i can fully access the BIOS using F1 but the problem that the screen is totally black. You will ask how do you know that you entered BIOS? the answer is that it do the restart when i press the right combination of keys to save and exit i.e. After pressing F1, i press the end key which supposed to give me a message of save and exit and i press Y so the laptop restarts.
Third, are you sure that this is a defected GPU card? as if there are any possibilities to try before sending the computer to Toshiba service center, i'll be glad to them on my own.
By the way the graphic card works perfectly when the computer log on the windows even with games i.e. the monitor starts to display picture starting from the choosing profile page of windows. The original recovery disk is VISTA Ultimate and i'd like to restore it back instead of the installed windows 7 as a trial but unfortunately i cant see the process as i have to enter some data to continue installation and i cant remeber them to do it blind.
Do you know a method to reinstall the bios update again? as when i try to install it through windows 7 it keeps saying " [Error] BIOS Update is not supported OS. Unsupported OS or service pack is installed "

Qosmio G30-126 - BIOS is not able upgraded on this configuration

Hello people
I have a problem with my computer where the Toshiba Service had replaced my motherboard. (a display adapter fault).
I have the computer now but the BIOS is very old, is Version 1.90. I downloaded the latest version from Toshiba's site which is 3.90.
When I try to update I get the message " Error. BIOS Upgrade is Failure. BIOS is not able upgraded on this configuration".
I have Windows 7 and run everything in Administrator mode.
I boot from WinPE CD but still not able to do any BIOS upgrade.
The old BIOS does not support USB boot and has some other issues that make the upgrade an important factor.
One assumption I made is that the BIOS has to be upgraded in small steps, i.e. from version 1.60 to 1.70 etc. until I reach 3.90.
Any help would be appreciated.

I need the upgrade since some features do not exist. Like, USB boot, screen brightness is allways full and cannot change with this BIOS.
It could change with 3.90 on my previous motherboard.
I used the extracted files as you mentioned with Administrative rights. I downloaded the Upgrade files from Toshiba and are supposed to be OK with Windows7
If i have to format the disks and install the preinstall operating system in order to make a BIOS Upgrade, I prefer to buy a new computer :)
I had tried many other alternatives like, boot from various CDs with BartPE (XP), Live CD (Vista) but had no success.

Qosmio G30-126 Sound drivers for win XP

I install Win XP to the second disk win xp Professional but i could not found drivers for thw sound system What can i do?? I have to install Win XP MCE????

Hi
This sounds very strange and implausible because the driver XP MCE should definitely works with XP Pro. But try another hint:
Remove the old sound driver, download the sound driver for the Vista and try to install it.
In some cases the Vista sound driver works with XP. Check it out and please report the results its interesting.

Fan speed on Qosmio G30

My laptop is Qosmio G30-126.
How can I know fan speed?
I've tried some soft with hw sensor monitor & fan speed but it's not show any think about speed fan just CPU temperature?
Where is the problem and what can I do?

hi vip78,
if no 3rd party software can detect the fan speed due to "unknown chipset" there are two options or some more...
- ask your software manufacturer to implement the used chipset, takes long if it will happen
- test other software like mb5 maybe this one can detect this value
generally said: if a software cant detect the value of the fan speed
- either the is the chipset not implemented in your preferred software
- or the value isnt readable cause there is no interface that gives any values to read
it's only important that the bios gives the os some informations about the "heat"-status....
pls go to powersaver options, sure you will get no info bout fan speed, but who cares if your system is working properly!
check mb5, make sure you got the latest version!
good luck

Qosmio G30 - Blue screen of death

recently i've been having this blue screen error when starting my pc (i can't go into safe mode either) so i decided to boot from cd and repair the system but the problem is that i can't boot from the cd nor from a USB my laptop is Qosmio g30...the problem is that i tested the cd on my friends pc and it booted from it,mine shows the following message
"Initializing and establishing link....
PXE-E61: Media test Failure, check Cable
PXE- MOF: Exiting Intel Boot Agent "
i really need help here and i don't care about the data on my c drive so if there is any solution i would be grateful
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the help guys but my friend came today and brought his laptop and put my hard drive into his laptop and he put the cd and it booted from it (i guess my cd drive didn't recognize the cd)so he fixed my hard drive but when i tried to start my laptop it crashed on the wiindows logo...the OS is MCE if i hadn't mentioned it before but i used xp professional cd to delete the SPTD.SYS file but after the process i decided to do check disk and repair so would this be the other problem ? if so i can buy a MCE cd because i lost mine.

Qosmio G30: blue vertical lines and blue screen crash dump

I have a Qosmio G30, Model No. PQG32C-AV605E with BIOS Version 3.40.
I want to update to 3.90 but I cannot enter Windows.
How do I update BIOS with no Windows available?
Is there a DOS utility?
If so, please send it and I will download it or send me an email on where to download.
The G30 I have has blue vertical lines across the screen when the machine starts up in VGA mode upon entering Windows for the first time.
But the machine can't enter windows, it crashes and dumps and restarts before that.
I replaced the RAM with new RAM but it had no effect.
I ran the diagnostics utility and the hard drives are OPTIMAL in RAID 1 so no errors there.
The reinstall of Windows went smoothly: I just can't get into VGA mode without lines.
I was told by Toshiba tech support that a BIOS upgrade would fix it.
Thanks for any helps.

I made best experience with Toshiba support. The ASP guys were always helpful
I can understand that you are upset but this is cannot be a explanation for you last replay
Fact is that you can update the BIOS ONLY running windows OS because you can download ONLY win-based BIOS!
If you are not able to do this (no matter why) then you will need to get in contact with local ASP (service provider) in your country who could update the BIOS using a traditional BIOS version.
But in my personal opinion the vertical lines are not related to any BIOS issue and I think a BIOS update would not help you in my opinion its more hardware issue as an software issue.
Therefore you should get in contact with an local ASP in order to discover what's part is affected.
Good luck
