Qosmio X870 overheats while gaming

Hello,
i have qosmio that is running about 95-100 celzius GPU and 85-90 CPU temperatures while gaming from day 1.
Then i got shut downs due to overheating about 9 months later.
I go to service, and they clean it and repaste it , it didnt shut down anymore but high temperatures stayed.
20 days later GPU died, they replaced it, then 10 months later GPU died again, i heard burning inside the laptop.
They put new one again, but after that when i game for 2 hours, screen shuts down at least once, somethimes twice in that time.
I took laptop to service for fourth time, few days later they are saying that they didn't still diagnosed the malfunction.
But my biggest concern is that temperatures are high all that time, i read on A.s.u.s forum that guy with that kind of temperatures got replace immediatly, and the new notebook got 20 degrees lower temp.
Laptop is about 20 months old, and my question is:
do i ever have right for replacement or they will just patch it up every few months until warranty expires :( because they are planing to repair it again.
I need it for video editing also, thats why i bought it, and now for the 4th time my bussines is on hold for a week or two.
Sorry for long post, im hoping for some answer or mail where i can request replacement, thank you.

> do i ever have right for replacement or they will just patch it up every few months until warranty expires because they are planning to repair it again.
As far as I know Toshiba authorized service partner can just repair the notebook and you should ensure that the notebook will be fixed to your fullest satisfaction.
>I took laptop to service for fourth time, few days later they are saying that they didn't still diagnosed the malfunction. But my biggest concern is that temperatures are high all that time,
From my experience if the notebook does not shut down automatically, the temperature level isnt too high. Usually in case of overheating, the notebook should power off automatically to protect the internal parts from damage.

  • Satellite X200-219 overheats while gaming and shuts down

    Ok I originally lived in the UK, where I bought a Toshiba X200-219.
    Since then I moved to the States, and have the laptop plugged into a surge protected extension cord, attached to plug converter.
    Once the warranty expired on the laptop, I upgraded to 4GB of RAM, and switched out both hard disks to Seagate 320GB 7200rpm drives.
    Now ever since I moved to the States, the laptop has been overheating, more and more frequently even *before* I upgraded the components; this has usually been happening whilst gaming. I have been regularly blowing out any dust that might have settled inside the vents with compressed air
    But this time it's different. I was playing Red Alert 3, and it did it 3 times. When the laptop over heats, I have to remove the power cord and then reinsert it before switching it on. Except the final time I tried that, the laptop didn't start. There are absolutely no signs of life from the thing, even after cooling down for the past 2 hours. There aren't even any lights acknowledging that the power cord is plugged in. Oh and I've replaced the fuse so it can't be that (the battery is in the back in this instance)
    In the UK the laptop ran at a normal temperature. Over here it was running hot to touch, and the fan was screaming but it was manageable.
    It ran even hotter on the odd game I was playing but not whilst en/decoding movies.
    Please don't let this become one of *those* threads where everything fizzles out and I don't get an answer. Any ideas please?
    Happy holidays folks

    Hi
    Overheating is a serious issue because a high temperature can damage the internal parts.
    The internal temperature increases to a higher level because all devices like CPU and GPU are running with high performance while gaming.
    In such case the cooling module fans should rotate faster to ensure that the warm air would be blow away
    In many cases the cooling modules cannot work properly because the dust and debris clog up the cooling grilles or there is not enough thermal grease between the cooling module and CPU or GPU.
    Furthermore its not recommended using NON-Toshiba graphic drivers because such non Toshiba graphic drivers are not designed for the notebook usage and can lead to such overheating issues.
    You should also ensure that there is enough free space around the notebook. This is important for properly fresh air circulation.
    But of course an faulty cooling module could be also responsible for such overheating issues and in such case ONLY the ASP would be able to help you.

  • Would Qosmio G50 overheat while working with closed lid?

    If I work with the lid closed (i.e. switch on with the remote control) so that I just use two external monitors, will the G50 overheat or like other dockable laptops it's quite happy working like this?
    Anybody know?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi
    Why should the Qosmio overheat?
    I mean I dont see any connection between overeating and closed or opened lid
    The cooling ventilators are placed at the bottom of the unit and the air blow out from the notebooks side so its not matter if the lid has been closed or not
    The notebook should not overheat
    Bye

  • Qosmio X870 shutting down without reason - low perfs

    Hello everyone,
    I have recently bought a Qosmio X870 116 and I am extremely disappointed. It is supposed to be a gaming computer but I can barely run a single game without the PC crashes. I tried to run recent games such as Diablo 3 and Guild Wars 2. During the downloading of the GW2 launcher, the PC crashed after a while, shutting down without any reason.
    I eventually managed to install the game on my laptop anyway but I still encounter some issues since as I play, after not more than two minutes, the game slows down, the frame per second rate drops dramatically to 2 fps and the laptop crashes again.
    I think there is a problem with the graphic card or the fan because eveytime I try to launch a game, the fan starts to run very fast and noisely.
    I thought it also may be a problem with the Nvidia technology because of their Optimus service on their recent graphic cards, therefore I tried to "prioritize" the use of my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670M instead of the chipset Intel HD Family 4000 used in the laptop, by right-clicking on the GW2 icon and opening the NVIDIA panel to select the "Nvidia High performances" option.
    Unfortunately, the game still crashes after a few minutes. I obviously updated the drivers for the Nvidia but still, it doesnt work.
    Moreover, the laptop seems pretty slow to me even while browsing on the Internet and the desktop which is rather worrying since the laptot has 12 GB memory.
    Does anyone has an idea what is the reason for such low performances?
    Thanks by advance.

    Try this with your video card and power settings:
    Go to NVIDIA Control Panel (right click on desktop, 8th selection down), select/click
    First tab {Adjust image settings with preview}:
    Select: {Use my preference emphasizing: Performance}
    **select "performance"**
    Hit {Apply}
    Second tab {Manage 3D settings}
    **It gets technical but make sure it is exactly as I say it or it will not work. **
    Go to Subtab 1{Global Settings}:
    {Preferred graphics processor:}
    **SELECT "High-performance NVIDIA processor** *(see Note 1 at end)*
    Settings: *Again,it has to be exact; first phrase in { } is "Features" the first column, second phrase in { } is the "Settings", the second column:
    **Everything is on a drop-down menu if you click on the {Feature} name and mouse over the {Setting} option**

    *Hit "Apply" before moving to the third tab {Set PhysX Configuration}
    Third tab {Set PhysX Configuration}:
    *ONLY SETTING IN TAB*
    Select "GeForce GTX 670M"
    Hit {Apply}
    **NOT "CPU" and, NEVER "Auto-select (recommended)"** (see Note 1, again)
    Go to Power Settings in your Control Panel:
    Choose a Power Plan Option (Search "power" in search bar, choose the "Power plan", second selection under "Power Options" page.
    *GO WITH THE HIGH PERFORMANCE OPTION, VERY CRITICAL!!!!* By default it is on "balance" (I believe)
    Note 1: As far as I can tell the OS (Win8) can't transition like Win7 did between CPU and graphics card. Therefore every time graphics get going hard enough to demand the cards performance, the frames per rate stops or slows.
    Note 2: Select other option if setup is different.

  • Where can i find Win8 graphic drivers for Qosmio X870-BT2G23?

    Hello, I brought the new Qosmio X870.
    It comes with Seagate Mumentos XT 750GB hybrid drive, I have installed Intel 120GB SSD on the free slot and 1st surprise no option for RAID on BIOS.
    As top of the line gaming machine this option should be available.
    But lets go to the point, because I dont use windows 7 home on my network I am installing Window 8 consumer preview (on the SSD drive) so I can use Hyper-v for my work and make some gaming on free time, and 2nd surprise Toshiba support site as no drivers for my model the site not even recognize my model existence, search by serial number did find the model but not even 1 download available.
    Now 3rd surprise can't find option to download driver for Nvidia GTX 670M on Nvidia site, or any other of the new mobile boards from Nvidia.
    After some research I managed to find model X870-BT2G23 on Toshiba TW support site and get the drivers for the other unknown devices in device manager.
    So my question is where can we find the driver for the Nvidia GTX 670M?
    Sorry for the long text and the bad English.
    Regards

    Hello again,
    Sorry for the delay on follow up, because I've been busy.
    In the same day I was able to extract the graphics driver from the original installation and installed on the windows 8 OS.
    I am sorry, maybe is my English, but I don't want the Windows 8 drivers, I want the original drivers and software available on support page. I cannot understand that an international company like Toshiba is selling a new product but no drivers CD included and no reference for the new product on the support page, a good and fast support is essential on modern global business.
    Nvidia auto detect feature on Nvidia driver download page now correctly identifies GTX 670M but says that the graphic card as specially tailored by the notebook manufacturer and the driver should be downloaded from the manufacturer download site.
    Other open question is the possibility to choose RAID on BIOS since the chipset as able to do it, and to be able to accelerate drive access with Intel Smart Response technology (use a SSD disk to speed access to the main disk), or to configure 2 SSD drives in stripe (RAID 0). Sorry but the mumentos XT hybrid is a good disk but lacks the kind of performance this machine can deliver.
    So now all devices are correctly identified on device manager, the only thing I miss at the moment is the software for the special keys on the keyboard and some of the software originally installed for the Blu-ray, because I really don't want the huge amount of software that came with the original windows 7 home on my start up.
    The Qosmio X870 is lighting fast with Windows 8 on a really old Intel SSD, can't wait to try 2 SSD new generation on RAID 0 (maybe one day), here is Windows performance index
    Processor: 7,8
    Memory (RAM): 8,8
    Graphics: 5,8
    Gaming Graphics: 6,5
    Primary hard disk: 7,8
    The low 5,8 on windows aero is because Nvidia GTX 670M don't kicks in till the 3D tests, the original disk scored 5,6 so even if this is not an last generation SSD 7,8 is a huge difference.
    Waiting for the original drivers and software on the support site......
    Regards

  • Qosmio x870 - Drag & drop with alt-tab not possible using touchpad

    Hello everyone,
    I have a problem with my Qosmio x870 and Synaptics touchpad drivers on Win7 64bit.
    They will not allow me to drag and drop between applications.
    As soon as I press Alt-Tab while dragging a file to switch to another application, dragging instantly stops.
    I'm using official & latest (15.3.41.7) Toshiba touchpad drivers from here http://goo.gl/pKHAI
    I tried installing generic Synaptics drivers and they don't have such a problem.
    With them, everything works fine with drag and drop,
    however, their implementation of two finger scrolling is really buggy and more than half the time it doesn't work so I can't use those.
    Does anyone know if this bug will be fixed and when?
    Any help? Thanks!

    Hi,
    I don't have "Advanced" tab in Mouse settings in control panel. Is there something i need to install in adition to Toshiba Synaptics drivers?
    I also tried changing every available setting in Synaptics drivers settings, but no change :(
    About Synaptics generic driver: Yes, I chose that one, but as I said, it's really buggy with two finger scroll, so I reverted back to Toshiba ones.

  • My Qosmio X870-14T heats up in 10 minutes

    Hello.
    I got Qosmio X870-14T. It heats up in 10 minute even i play most basic games and shuts down. CPU heat reaches 90 and it closes. I send it to warranty 3 times in 2 month. They update it and just send it back. Toshiba just dont care.
    What can i do guys? I realy need to fix it. But in my country Toshiba support is horrible.
    What can i do to fix it?

    Hi
    Generally the notebook would overheat because the internal parts produce too much warmness or the internal cooling modules dont run properly and cannot cool down the internal parts.
    Why internal parts would produce too much warmness? Well, this can be possible if you would use graphic drivers which are not designed for mobile usage.
    For example drivers from nVidia or ATI dont support GPU overheating protection. Such drivers allow the GPU to run with best performance (if necessary). This could lead to more heat dissipation and finally to overheating.
    GPU drivers released on Toshiba pages are modified for notebook usage and support such kind of protection.
    Why cooling fans cannot cool down the parts?
    Mostly because of dust inside the notebook vents. It could be also possible that cooling vents and fans are clogged by dust and cannot rotate properly and air cannot circulate as it should. In such case the notebook should be cleaned.
    Finally it could be possible that thermal grease which is placed between cooling module and CPU isnt good enough or dried out. This would also affect the CPU cooling and would lead to higher temperature.
    So as you see there are many reasons why notebook could overheat.

  • Re: Qosmio X870-15D - Impossible to access the BIOS

    Hello everyone,
    I've got my Qosmio X870-15D Win8 64 bits for 5 days now and since 2 days I can't access to the BIOS (6.30) as I could the first days ; and yet, I didn't put any password
    Please, any idea to fix that problem ?

    Thank you for answering Pedro !
    In fact, the laptop ignores my pressing on F2 key while powering and directly boots on Win8, let's say 19 times out of 20 ; right now, I succeeded to enter the BIOS (don't know why this time) and changed system settings to boot on CD or USB key. So I hope I can access back to the BIOS so I can change back the settings to boot on W8 to perform what you kindly adviced.
    I'll tell you more a.s.a.p.

  • MSI GS70 Stealth - Micro-freeze while gaming

    Hello,
    I just bought a new MSI GS70 Stealth laptop recently (about 2 month ago) and since the start I'm having some problem while gaming. When playing most games, for example League of Legends, Path of Exile and many more I have, now and then, a screen freeze that last about 1 second. My FPS stays the same, so does my ping. It happens not only after a while of gaming and I don't think it has something to do with overheat (I think).
    That's for the problem, now I'll answer the few basic questions I know I'll probably be asked :
    - My power plan is High performance
    - I'm on windows 8.1 Update 1
    - I am plugged in when this happens
    - I updated Intel drivers and Nvidia drivers to the latest
    That's about it, so if you need more information just tell me what and how to get it and I'll post it as soon as possible!
    Thanks! 

    I did three tests, one at rest, the other one after a freeze, and the last one before a freeze.
    At rest :
    Before a freeze :
    After a freeze :
    When the freeze happens, we can see that the last bar (Highest reported hard pagefault resolution time) goes from 55621 to 2361273... I guess we might have found something!

  • Clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit on Qosmio X870

    When I received my laptop (Qosmio x870) I immediately uninstalled its OS since it was filled with bloatware and installed a clean version of windows 7 ultimate 64 bit. After my install I have been trying to install the drivers on my laptop, but some don't seem to be working.
    My VGA driver has installed, but the windows experience index for my graphics is 5.5 which is much lower than it should be (if memory serves right it was 7.4 before I uninstalled the original bloated O.S). However, the biggest problem I have come across is the Network driver. I have installed every single network driver on Toshiba's driver page for the qosmio x870, but none seem to work. For some reason the laptop thinks my wifi is turned off, which I know is not (unless there is a setting in bios which should be changed otherwise I really don't know).
    I really need some help here guys, if someone can point me to the EXACT drivers I absolutely need it would mean the world to me. Toshiba should really have a bundle of essential drivers, like most other computer companies have, it makes everything so much easier for people who hate the bloated O.S that comes with their laptop.

  • How to adjust video while gaming

    I have an MSI FX5900SP  256mb and I want to know if there is a utility that I can download that I can hit hot keys to adjust the gamma, contrast and brightness while gaming.   My buddy has an ATI 5950 from Asus and asus has a utility to adjust while gaming and its awesome.  I think like ctrl+G for gamma and it does it while playing.  I have been looking and can't find any utilities that will allow me to to adjust the features while playing on this MSI card.

    Skunk_Spray,
    I do not know of an nVidia utiltity that would allow you to do that, but you can still adjust gama and resolution in game with the game's options.
    Take Care,

  • Qosmio X870-116: usage of Intel / nVidia GPU on internal / external display

    Hello,
    I have a Qosmio X870-116 which have 2 video cards, a Intel on board and a Nvidia more powerfull.
    My probleme, I don't how I switch my display on the Intel card and I see my Nvidia only for the external display.
    Some one have an idea to switch on the nvidia card to my first display?
    Thanks

    Hi
    Something like that isnt possible.
    You cannot use two graphic cards simultaneously for internal and external display.
    First of all you can switch between external and internal display using the function key Fn + F4 (or just F4)
    Secondly the nVidia Optimus technology optimize notebook performance by seamlessly switching between a nVidia GPU and Intel internal graphic card.
    The switching is automatic and does not require any notebooks reboot.

    My iphone 4 speakers stopped giving me sounds when i play audio or video even while gaming. It works fine when ringing tunes of for voice mails, even works fine with headsets. What is wrong with it?

    well i'd seriosly say point a hot hair drier at the speakers as water has entered the phone most commonly via the home button but avoid getting it too hot let it cool every 3 minutes after constant drying. Don't worry I have honestly dont this with my iPhone 4 GSM 16GB. For future reference avoid letting it get wet.
