• Equium A60-155 - memory upgrade

  I currently have Toshiba Equium A60-155 with 192 MB of RAM standard, and thought of the upgrade or buy a new laptop and I'm looking for advice.

  I use my computer for music production mainly as well as simple tasks such as browsing the internet and funny game (mainly supercomputers, data sets with less emphasis on graphics etc.)

  Basically everything I want to know the weather bought 1 GB of RAM would be update worth it because at the present time, the performance is slow to say the least. It would make a lot of improvement to my laptop or I'd better save for a few months and buy a new computer laptop all together?

  Thanks guys :)

  Hi Claire,

  Increase the RAM in your A60: his current 256 MB will certainly benefit even if I suspect that the improvement will be not exactly breathtaking.

  I suggest using the monitor of the task (available in Task Manager, during the execution of some of your applications to see just what the memory usage you actually is.

  You currently have 64 MB of your existing RAM allocated for use of graphics, and you may be able to reduce this to 32 MB or 16 MB even to give you an additional display options in RAM capacity advances.

  The actual gain from adding additional RAM will come if you want to run multiple simultaneous applications.

  Kind regards

• Equium A60-692: memory upgrade question

  Hi, I want to improve my memory. I wanted to add a memory of 1 GB on the extra slot but I wanted to be sure that I'm looking for, I don't know much about it and I want to ensure I have buy one that is compatible with everything. If someone knows something about this answer please.
  Thank you

  Hello

  Well, you're first time here in the forum ;) Welcome!

  Now to your question. AFAIK the Equium A60-692 was delivered with an internal memory of 256 MB. This module cannot be deleted.
  Additional memory location is available and you can upgrade the memory for max 1280MB (256 MB + 1024 MB) in this case, you can use a 1 024 MB module.

  You use PC2100 DDR - RAM memory modules.
  Also, I found one that you can use without any problems. The reference is: 1024Mo PC2700 (PA3313U-1M1G)

• Equium A60 - 173 memory Question

  Hey guys, I just used the recovery disk to reinstall windows xp after that I had a few problems and now when I look at the information system, it is said that the total physical memory is 512 MB, but the available physical memory is only 151 MB I was wondering why it is so low that I have not yet installed all the programs and this has something to do with me using the disk of recovery?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  I'm not sure about this, but I think your laptop is just currently using 151MB, because there is no need to use all 512 MB. Maybe this can be changed in the BIOS or so.

  Good bye

• Re: Equium A60 (PSA670) - upgrading memory

  Guys,

  My brother bought an Equium A60 a few years ago and is trying to improve memory. The current configuration of the memory is as follows

  Slot 0 256 MB
  Slot 1 is empty.

  I can't seem to slot 0, but I am able to access the location 1. I plan on 512 MB or 1 dildo DDR 2700 memory in slot 1. But I do not have the specsso of the motherboard I don't know what the memory configuration is supported.

  I tried the Toshiba site, but could not find all the manuals. Anyone here know the spces are to know where I can download manuals.

  Hello

  The maximum RAM capacity is 1280MB and the 256 MB internal memory and can't be exchanged for 1 location is available for the upgrade of memory.
  This means that you can install the module 1024MB of available memory slot and you need memory PC2700 specification.

  By the way: the user manual can be downloaded from the Toshiba website, that s no problem:

• Faulty memory to Equium A60

  Hi all

  Has just been given a notebook Equium A60 to look at, basically when I try recovery DVD, all is well until the phone restarts, errors occur with files system etc, blue screen of death, I tried MEMTEST86 memory and he finished only 12% before it failed with errors.

  I think that memory is faulty & is giving me these errors, I removed the cover at the back of the laptop & was surprised to see that the only slot was empty?

  Where is the memory of the system on these laptops? Windows XP says 192Mo, so I assume that 256 MB with 64 MB taken by graphic design...

  I have to 'strip' of the laptop to be able to get to the memory & if so is this a replaceable part?

  Any info or help would be greatly appreciated

  > Does that mean that the "base memory" is an integral part of the system board, so if it is faulty, then a new card system is required?
  I m afraid, Yes.
  The A60 takes support only one expandable memory slot!

  > Is there a way to "turn off" this memory installation & some external memory instead?
  The 256 MB internal memory is integrated on the motherboard and cannot be eliminated as the common memory modules.

  It really looks like a malfunction MB:(et le MB entier doit être remplacé.)
  But this is only my personal opinion and to be 100% sure that the verification of the laptop is necessary.

• Equium A60 with defective built in memory

  Hello

  I tried to recover my Equium A60 with the recovery DVD and it does not boot to windows. I tried to install a number of different versions of windows and the error messages lead me to the conclusion that the module memory is faulty. The system came with 256 MB of memory and it is hard because it is part of the motherboard. My question is if I buy a memory module and install it in the expansion slot will be it be prevented from working by the faulty memory?

  Post edited by: binkey1st

  Hey Kevin,

  There is unfortunately no way to isolate the faulty RAM on your motherboard. Even if you install a second module of RAM the system always tries to use the built in so defective module.

  You will need to take you laptop to an ASP for the defective replace module.

  Hello

  Unless you are an experienced user, you should allow Windows to manage this setting for you. Your problem may occur if the default settings have been changed somehow. First to diagnose your problem, you must follow these steps to ensure that Windows runs properly your virtual memory settings.

  1. find out how virtual memory is managed. Right click on 'My Computer' and choose 'properties '. Click the Advanced tab, and then under Performance click settings.
  2. which opens your performance Options. Click the Advanced tab. For private users 'typical' Processor Scheduling & Memory use must be set to "programs".
  3. under virtual memory, click change.
  4. which opens the virtual memory options. If you have more than one hard drive, make sure that your primary hard drive is selected under "Drive".
  5. under "Paging File Size for selected device" check the box indicating the size of the managed system.
  6. click OK in all the 3 boxes to close off these settings and restart your computer

• Equium A60 runs unstable - how can I upgrade the memory?

  I have a friend visit me who has an Equium A60 which is very unstable when she runs multiple applications. I checked and it has only 192 MB of RAM. Can be increased and if so how much. How many slots are there on this machine?

  She is currently in the USA and I checked on Toshiba USA website and cannot find this PC is listed, so it should only be sold in Europe. It would be useful if someone could tell me what kind of memory it takes so I could look for it here. She is a student and in great need of a stable computer for his studies.

  Thanks a lot for all the help in advance.

  Hello

  Of course you can upgrade the memory.
  I guess you have only 192 MB memory main because the laptop came with 256 MB internal memory and the 64 MB are shared by the graphics card! This is why only 192 MB are free.

  Anyway, as I said the laptop came with 256 MB internal and memory is not removable.
  So only one slot is expandable!
  If you can upgrade the memory for max 1280MB (256 MB + 1024 MB)

  You can use the modules:
  PC2700 256 MB (PA3311U - 1 M 25)
  PC2700 512 MB (PA3312U - 1 M 51)
  1024MO PC2700 (PA3313U-1M1G)

  Do you know where is the crack?

  The slot is placed at the bottom of the device! The cover is fixed with a screw.
  Remove this screw and you will be able to open the slot and improve memory.

  PS; I think that upgrading memory is described in the manual of Toshiba that was preinstalled on your laptop.
  Alternatively, you can download this manual from the page of Tosh

• Failed to start after installing the new memory module Equium A60

  I have an Equium A60 laptop with the following specs:
  P4 3.06 GHz
  256 MB Ram (including 64 MB ATI graphics card)
  30 GB HD
  Windows XP Home Edition

  The problem is the following; I bought a bar of memory in order to update my system. I bought a Kingston SO-dimm pc2100 512 MB. After installation of the memory of the laptop wouldn't start, after about 5 seconds after having turned it on, it turns off completely.

  If I remove the memory it starts up fine. I had tested memory and its ok so there seems to be a problem with the laptop itself. I'm confused, so if anyone has an idea of what might cause boot failure, I would be happy to know.

  Thank you very much...

  As far as I know the main reason for the failure of start is the use of non compatible modules.

  According to the specifications of the laptop, you must use PC2700 512 MB (PA3312U - 1 M 51). If you want to buy the module Kingston (products of very good quality) check it please the Kingston MEMORY SEARCH

• Upgrade memory on Equium A60

  Hello

  I'm looking to upgrade my memory on an Equium A60 - 155 C 335 by adding a component of 512 MB.
  I know part: PA3312U - 1 m 51 is compatible but does anyone know if a part: PA3312U - 2 m 51 is also OK?
  Thank you.

  I think this module of memory works.
  I studied a bit in the internet and it seems that the PA3312U - 2M 51 is a memory next module.

• Equium A60 - 157 HELP Card/PCMCIA wireless network!

  Hi all!

  This problem has been frustrating me for at least 2 months.

  OK, I recently bought a Belkin Wireless G Notebook Card (wifi card).
  The first time I installed the wifi card it worked perfectly. I powered
  extinguish your laptop (after I had finished working on it). The next day
  When I turned the laptop on, you guessed it, the wifi card was not
  work. I did not remove the wifi card for the power off/power on stage.

  When I went into Device Manager, a yellow exclamation point was
  above the wifi card. When I looked at the properties of wifi cards, I found the
  following message appears:

  This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)
  If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system.
  Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device.

  I tried unistalling and reinstalling the wifi card. I tried to use the latest Belkin drivers for the wifi card. Sometimes it works, but when I have the power turned off/turned on the laptop it s not go.

  One of the ways I got the card to operate was removing and inserting the card several times
  until he finds resources and finally worked. I put t use this method as, obviously, I might damage the cardbus slot and the card. In the meantime I ve been using a Belkin Wireless G USB network adapter. I had no problems with the USB adapter, but I prefer to use the wifi card. This is because the majority of the wifi card is housed inside the laptop, so it s not easily evicted. The USB adapter is great for wireless networks inside, but too risky for roaming outside.

  I had this problem of 1.70 at 1.8 ° C bios version, and I still have it with revision 1.90. I intend to return m wifi card in the store for an Exchange, but I have a really bad feeling that the same thing will happen with the replacement of the card. I m not convinced that the current wifi card is defective, because it works perfectly when he gets the resources.

  I tried to manually configure resources on the devices, but I have a major problem. Windows seems to be LOCKED in the automatic settings. The automatic settings check box is grayed out completely, it is impossible for me clear the checkbox. I did not take anything in the bios that can help me solve this problem.

  I noticed that there are many devices running off IRQ (interrupt requests) 19, when you view resources by type in Device Manager. These devices are:

  Standard enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller
  USB host controller standard OpenHCD x 2 (two entries)
  Texas Instruments OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller
  Controller CardBus Texas Instrumetns PCI-1410

  When the wireless card works she also runs IRQ 19, but as I said before Windows is locked in the automatic settings and do not manually configure the hardware resources.

  Equium A60-157 is not provided on board, but it has the potential for. WiFi L.e.d. on the front panel, physical location for wifi turn on side panel wireless icon and F8. Someone know if Toshiba offer an upgrade service, or can I install wifi on board myself?

  ANYONE, PLEASE HELP ME WITH THESE QUESTIONS!
  Thanks for your time!

  Hello

  I found this for you:

  Both devices have received a same ports of entry/exit (e/s), the same interrupt, or the same Direct memory access channel (whether through BIOS, the operating system, or a combination of both). This error message may also appear if the BIOS did not allocate enough resources to the device (for example, if a (USB) universal serial bus controller does not get a break in the BIOS because of a damaged MPS (Multiprocessor) system table).
  You can use Device Manager to determine where the conflict is and turn off the device in conflict. On the tab General properties of the device, click Troubleshoot to start the Troubleshooting Wizard.
  Try disabling the features of conflict. It will be interesting to know if the problem will occur again.

  In my opinion, you should contact the Service partner and ask them if the unit is ready for the Wi - Fi module. Sorry, but I'm not sure about that and I don't want to give you a bad information about it.

• Equium A60: ATI mobility issues

  I have an Equium A60 (PSA67E) with Celeron 2.80 ghz, 192 RAM, windows XP, and a 7000IGP ATI MOBILITY RADEON I bought jan 2005.
  I use the laptop and after 10 minutes a message appears and tells the driver has stopped working and I need a new. Which driver should I download for this stop happening? Ive looked to other people having problems with the infanite loop and its recommended location to download a bios updared will this help?

  I sent ATI and they said I need to contact toshiba

  It is also is so slow when I try and work on it, I've defragmented it but it works still slow. Would this becaure to have 192 RAM?

  Thank you for your help

  Hello

  First of all, I would recommend trying the page of the Toshiba driver graphics card driver:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
  You choose unit and OS and download and install the driver.

  In my opinion, your device must use min 256 MB memory.
  But it is not only the problem of memory. Some software programs and background processes may decrease the performance of the laptop.
