• Satellite P100-286 - upgrade to 4 GB of RAM but BIOS only reports 3 GB of RAM

  Hello, I would like to know if someone can help me...!

  I have a portable P100-286 Toshiba with the following specifications:

  Processor Intel Core 2 Duo processor T7200 - 2 x 2 GHz processor
  2 GB RAM (2 x 1048)
  NVIDIAÃ? GeForce Go 7900 (memory: 512 MB)
  Vista Home Premium 32-bit

  Full specifications here:
  http://UK.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/JSP/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=UK&DISC_MODEL=0 & highlightOption = 63188 & com decided .new = Yes .broadvision & PRODUCT_ID = 125204 #0

  According to this specification, the laptop can handle up to 4 GB of RAM:

  "Memory system: standard: 2 048 (1, 024 + 1, 024) MB, maximum of extension: 4 096 Mo, technology: DDR2 (533 MHz) RAM.

  I just upgraded using 2 x Corsair 2 GB of RAM Sodimm DDR2 667 MHz/PC2-5300. I understand that Vista 32 bit may not report all 4 GB of RAM (it is not, only 3 GB reports), but I understand that Vista Service Pack 1 can solve the problem.

  However... confusedly BIOS ALSO notes that 3 GB of RAM. Does anyone know why the BIOS is not seen all the 4 GB? I tried to read about it online, and some advocate a BIOS update. However, many people also say it would be extremely risky.

  Can someone give me some ideas as to what I can do to the BIOS then it recognizes all the 4 GB of RAM?

  Thank you very much!

  You're not 100% good. The 32-bit Windows OS cannot use the entire 4 GB due to the limitation of the 32-bit operating system. After the installation of Vista SP1 will display full 4GB but it will still use only 3 GB.
  To use all of the 4 GB, different components like CPU, BIOS, OS and chipset must support this. If one of these doesn't support 4GB while the laptop components will use only 3 GB.

  Update the BIOS

  People are right. The update of the BIOS must help to recognize the 4 GB in the BIOS.
  But it s also good that the update of the BIOS is risky.
  If you want to use a bad BIOS or bad procedure to update the BIOS that can damage the ROM. module

How can this be corrected?

  Hi KevinRy,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

  Unplug all external devices.

  Try to start in safe mode. If you can start in safe mode, and then do a system restore to restore the computer to an earlier point in time.

  Change the recovery settings to disable automatic reboot, if you are able to boot up to the desktop computer:

  1.	Right-click my computerand then click Properties.
  2.	Click the Advanced tab.
  3.	Under Startup and recovery, click settings to open the Startup and recovery dialog box.
  4.	Clear the automatically restart check box, and then click OK many times necessary.
  5.	Restart your computer so that the settings take effect.

  Now, when you are going to close and a fatal error occurs, you will see at least and it won't cause an automatic restart.

  Please reply back with the error message you get because it helps us to resolve the error.

  Kind regards

• Satellite A305-S6857: is it possible to upgrade to 8 GB of RAM

  Current installation is 4 GB of RAM (2 by 2)...
  Is it possible to upgrade to 8 GB of RAM? (2 * 4)?

  Thanks for your help.

  Hello

  Here you will find a data sheet of this laptop

  [Detailed satellite A305 Specification | http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/product/pdf_files/detailed_specs/satellite_A305-S6857.pdf]

  As you can see there's something about the max RAM: maximum capacity 4096MB

  Therefore, 8 GB RAM upgrade is not possible.

• Lenovo-ThinkPad-W541-20EFCTO1WW: is it possible to change/upgrade Quadro K2100M of GTX 980 M?

  is it possible to change/upgrade GPU - Quadro K2100M of GTX 980 M in ws laptop Lenovo "ThinkPad W541' (20EFCTO1WW)?

  I like the laptop, but the GPU portion is not for pc games, so iwould like to know weather is it physically possible to change this QuadroK2100M in the Lenovo ThinkPad W541 games GPU i.e. GTX 980 M?

  Thanks in advance!

  The GPU is soldered to the motherboard, so he can't be replaced.

  The K2100M should still work good for the games.

  The 980M is also a map of 100 watts, while the K2100M is a map of 55 watts. There is no way the W541 can handle it, even if you can replace the GPU.

• Inspiron 15 and Ubuntu 14.04: parameters of the BIOS change removes partion "ubuntu".

  Inspiron 15 3551

  BIOS Rev A00

  14.04 Ubuntu preinstalled by Dell.

  My laptop is brand new. I went through the initial setup in 15 minutes approximately. This has worked well. I rebooted several times without problem. At this point, the boot options are (if I hit F12 at startup):

  Tittle: Startup Mode is set to: UEFI with legacy OPROM: secure boot: off

  THE LEGACY OPTIONS:

  Hard drive

  UEFI OPTIONS:

  PEBOOT

  Ubuntu

  HDD1 - OS UEFI (TOSHIBA )

  Please note that I never really used the start menu. I just use the default value.

  After a few days, I tried to change how the function keys worked, so I restarted and is gone the BIOS, change this setting, then choose 'save changes and "Reset". Restarted the laptop, but couldn't find the good disk (or partition, or whatever - not sure of the exact terminology). A flashed on the screen error: couldn't open '\EFI\BOOT\fallback.efi': 14

  Then the only choice I give myself is to boot from the recovery partition, forcing me to do a reinstall full - 15 minutes more loss of all data.

  If I hit F12 at startup while the laptop is in this State, the boot options are as above, except lack the "ubuntu" option, as follows:

  THE LEGACY OPTIONS:

  Hard drive

  UEFI OPTIONS:

  PEBOOT

  HDD1 - OS UEFI (TOSHIBA )

  I ran the ePSA assessment system, and it shows no problem.

  This problem is reproducible. I've walked through the entire sequence 3 times.

  So, what gives? How can I change the BIOS settings without losing my OS partition?

  Thank you

  Today I received my 3551 Dell with ubuntu.  I am facing a similar situation.  If inherited boot mode, then something happens to the boot process for the uefi firmware.  I'm trying to understand uefi starting the process as well as the Partion of EFI (ESP) system works.   A good place is-

  www.happyassassin.NET/2014/01/25/UEFI-boot-how-does-that-actually-work-then/

  Once something bad happens recovery dell comes into play and reinstall everything.

  Another problem that I face is that the process to create a recovery on a usb flash drive media fails. I used different usb pen drives but runs aground with each of them.  The recovery flash drive me would be useful if the computer is required to be returned to factory State.   Please inform your experience with it.  I wonder what partition used by the dell recovery program.

  Also inform if drivers for Windows are hidden somewhere on the hard drive.

  Thank you.

• m8100y stopped no boot, no beep, light food. No software or BIOS changes.

  Hello

  I have a m8100y PC which ceased boot, no beep or any other activity (spining hdd or all other front panel lights) light on power visible from outside is light up. There is no software or BIOS changes. He used to work fine and the next day it does not start. I spent the cord with my monitors cord to make sure it's good. Also open the front panel to ensure that the contact of the switch is good.

  What would be my next steps to identify I have

  (1) power supply is ba

  (2) card mother or other components are a problem

  It is a machine for 3 years and older, can the CMOS battery cause me to not start? What does the beep System x many times to warn that. I hear no beeps and the CD wont open, so I know that there is a power problem. But the power supply has an outside light that truns when I plug in the power band.

  You will appreciate a help about what my next steps should be to identify the problem.

  Thank you!

  NB.

  Naimy, welcome to the forum.

  I think you may have a defective power supply unit (PSU).  Are the replaced component in a computer.  You can disconnect all unnecessary items, for example, hard drives, optical drives, USB devices, etc.  After these items are disconnected, try to start the computer.  Here's a guide to troubleshooting of the PSU.

  If you need to replace the power supply, I like Corsair and OCZ.  I normally recommend at least 550W for peak power needs.  I suggest to measure the existing PSU and comparing them to the one you choose.

  Mix strips memory manufacturers, type and bandwidth or density module often results in a no boot scenario. Replace the two modules or use a compatible module guaranteed from a well-known memory manufacturer.

  Do a search on the web in line with the product name of your laptop and upgrade memory as keywords. The following URLS are examples of a search I did.

  You must install the drivers for its display, currently functioning in VGA mode, that after having installed the drivers you will be allowed to change the resolution.

• Satellite A200 PSAFCA-01H00J upgraded to 4 GB of RAM but can see only 3 GB

  Hello

  * UPGRADE RAM PROBLEMS *.

  I just upgraded my laptop from 2 GB to 4 GB of RAM, * but cannot access the 3 GB *.
  I checked all the documents, and he indicates that the laptop should be expandable to 4 GB of RAM.

  Oddly enough, the site of [mytoshiba.com.au | http://mytoshiba.com.au] does not list my exact model under "abandoned" (as if it never existed!). Although there are a number of similar models according to [http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/web/resource/pdf/discontinued-models/notebooks/satellite/satellite_a200_psafca-01k00j.pdf]

  I have the Toshiba site and updated 64-bit drivers as much as possible, including the BIOS to Mw10M520.ROM using winphlash64 downloaded on the net, the included winphlash (32 bit) of toshiba did not work as I have already installed Win7 (64).

  Incidentally, I always have problems with "Toshiba Password Utility monitoring" and the software "Driver Bluetooth software" provided by Toshiba to [http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/notebooks/satellite/a200/psafca-01h00j/download] - in the absence of "* Win7 64 * ' drivers I used the ' * Vista 64 *" drivers.
