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

    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

  • 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

  • Repeated blue screen crash when running labview 8.2 on Dell optiplex GX620

    Hi, I have recently experienced a series of 'blue screen' crashes on a Dell Optiplex GX620 while running Labview 8.2. The dell is running Windows XP SP2 with an ATI Radeon X600 graphics card. Labview is interfacing with a NI DAQPad 6015 device. The computer is a dedicated Labview machine so there is no other third party software that has been installed that could be causing the problem. Also, the computer is one of three identical machines, the only one that has labview installed and the only one that is crashing. Upon rebooting after the first 'blue screen' crash an error report indicated that there was a problem with the ATI graphics driver and suggested updating the driver to the latest version. This was done. Upon rebooting after the second 'blue screen' crash an error report indicated that there was a problem with the RAM. Both of these crashes occurred while running a labview application. A further two incidents have occurred where the computer has restarted for no apparent reason while running a labview application. I was wondering if you were aware of any known issues/incompatibilities with my specific machine and labview 8.2, or if there could be any other known issues with labview that might be causing the crashes. It should also be noted that this is a new setup and these crashes have occurred in relatively short time frame. Thanks for your help!

    Hi,
    To have a better understanding of what is causing the blue screen crash and the Windows restart, we may need to retrieve the memory dump caused by the crash in Windows XP.  Before we actually get into that, we may need to disable Automatic Reboot by Windows when it crashes.  I have attached a link that describes how to disable computer reboot after a crash and I have also attached a link of how to retreive the memory dump.  Let me know how it goes!
    Why Does My Computer Automatically Reboot For No Reason?
    How Can I Create a Kernel Memory Dump When Windows Crashes?

  • 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.

  • ITunes giving me repeated Blue Screens of Death

    I recently wiped my hard drive, and I'm trying to restore my library from backup DVDs I made before the event. So far, every time I attempt to restore from these, I get either a BSOD or my computer freezes and I'm forced to restart. I can provide any additional information on request, and I'd appreciate any help I can get. Thank you!

    I don't have Vista but here is some general stuff on stop messages that may help you get started:
    If you are getting a blue screen stop, it would help if you could post the exact error message. It should be some sort of numbers and text -
    0x(zeros/letters/numbers) (CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
    For example:
    Stop 0x05 (INVALIDPROCESS_ATTACHATTEMPT)
    Also is a file name mentioned in the error message? If so give the exact file name. This can be a very important clue to what is going on - it's often a driver problem. If you reinstalled Windows, did you get all your driver updates?
    if you're not seeing a blue screen (or just a flash of one), you can use this technique to make hidden blue screens appear:
    1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
    2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
    3) Click the "Settings" button in the "Startup and Recovery" section
    4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.
    There is some general help on Troubleshooting Windows Stop Messages here:
    http://aumha.org/win5/kbestop.htm
    For Vista freezing rather than a Windows BSOD, see this troubleshooting article:

  • 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

  • Qosmio G30 - lines on the screen and blue background

    Hi
    Im having a great deal of problem with this laptop...
    Having purchased it some time ago its been working fine but out of the blue its given up on me...
    I switch on the laptop and when the Qosmio logo comes up its all with lines in it and instead of the background being black it is blue.... after that funny characters start appearing on the screen and then the Windows Xp logo appears still a bit fuzzy a blue screen comes up with some error it flashes so quick you cannot read it and the laptop restarts itself....
    I have tried reformatting it but the same problem occurs. help!
    cheers

    Hi
    I meant the OS which was preinstalled from beginning.
    All or most Toshiba notebooks are already preinstalled with an OS.
    The newest series are preinstalled with Vista.
    Anyway your issue looks a little bit like an GPU (graphic card) malfunction and possibly it would be advisable to check the notebook by an authorized service provider in your country

  • Qosimio G30-116 with blue screen on boot

    I have a Qosmio dule boot Qosmio G30-116, booting in windows generates a blue screen of death, which is quickly cleared before I can read what is displayed.
    Boot it in windows safe mode results in a long list of files being displayed the last one being Mup.sys
    Booting the machine in Linux and running everything that I can think off does not generate an error.
    Running the on board Toshiba dignostics from the BIOS does not generate an error.
    Running the linux memory check does not generate an error.
    Viewing the file system does not generate an error.
    So I don't think I have a hardware problem, I think something is matter with windows
    Does anybody have any idea how to stop my clearing the screen so I can actual find out what the problem is ?
    There is a lot of valuable software on this machine, I have no desire to trash the entire disk to attempt to repair what seems to be a specfic windows problem.

    Hi,
    I am sure its not a hardware problem. Its a pure windows related problem but its like one of these bluescreens which try to tell you that your memory is gone. :(
    First of all, try to remember which software youve recently installed. Which drivers were updated and how many microsoft KBs were automatically installed.
    I would really recommend you to google for "Mup.sys" and check the site "hardwareanalysis" which is the second entry when searching for that term.
    This problem has many reasons and there are many different solutions..because the reasons are so different. So, if you want to keep your "valuable" programs and dont want to reinstall your system (what could be btw. the easiest way after backing up your "valuable" software) then check the forum Ive suggested and you will find hopefully the enlightment.

  • 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.

  • Qosmio x775-3dv80 Blu Ray/DVD burning gets Blue Screen of Death.

    I just got a new Qosmio X775 3DV80 laptop.
    Tried to burn a Blu Ray movie with DVDfab 8. The process went through all the way till the very end and then I get a blue screen of death every single time. the brief error says IRQ problem. burning DVD gets the same.
    a friend as a same model laptop. tried on his with the same result.
    So it's not my particular machine!
    i installed a copy of Windows 7 Pro on the sencond HD. burning either DVD or Blu Ray with no problem.
    it suggests there's a glitch with combo of the original Windows 7 and the Blu Ray drive.
    i have not contacted Tosh yet.
    Anyone else experience the same???

    Peter, thanks for your suggestions. I tried so and didn’t work either however. I compared the drivers for the blu ray disk between the preinstalled Windows 7 version and my Windows 7 Pro (works as my first post). The only difference is the former has two drivers: (1) cdrom.sys, and (2) tdcmdpst.sys. (the Windows 7 Pro has only one : cdrom.sys). It seems this model shares the a common problem, but not enough users with the app combo to stir up some waves… Additionally: Between my first post and this one, the screen acted up. It would go black and came back in 2 sec with full brightness. The current app would freeze and brightness control function stopped working. Happened in random and a few times within an hour. Got a replacement from Amazon where I bought it (same blue screen problem on this one, too). Two weeks or so later, the 3D function went out on the new one. Today, the wireless function went south… am I "lucky" or crap on Tosh’s side?

  • Qosmio F20 blue screen of death after shutdown

    Hi there,
    I get the blue screen of death after shutdown on my Qosmio F20 laptop.
    Error is IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.
    I assume that it is somehow related to tv tuner card.
    I have tried to restore system - no good. After restoration for some time it was OK. But then BSOD appeared again.
    Sometimes it also appears when I connect USB HDDs or even when I insert DVD disk.
    And for shure everytime I shut laptop down.
    Has anybody got ideas?

    Hi
    Reading you last message I really dont know what you expect from this forum ?:|
    We all here can provide only some suggestions and opinions.
    Without any notebook tests and checks nobody will be able to provide a magic solution
    I hope you understand this.
    So back to the notebook issue.
    There is a one way to find out if the issue could be related to the software or hardware.
    You have to reinstall the notebook with the Toshiba recovery CD. If the same BSOD will appear after the installation from the recovery CD then the chance are that the hardware is faulty!
    I think you should check this out.
