HDD LED continuously flashes after the Installation of RAM in P70 - no boot upward

Hello

I had a Thinkpad P70 since February and it works fine. It has 16 GB of RAM (Non - ECC) (2 x 8 GB). I got two 8 GB 2133 DDR4 Hynix RAM SODIMM, thinking I could switch to 32 GB total.

I installed both modules of Hynix in the brackets of two memory under the laptop.

When I turn the P70, it does not start. The HARD Drive LED flashes continuously. When I remove the memory modules, the machine starts.

The memory is compatible with processors SkyLake.

Means that it is incompatible with the P70?

Thank you.

Here's an update. I put the RAM in the two memory modules. Power on the computer and waited longer. The led flashed away for about a minute then stopped. Then the P70 booted up successfully with 32 GB of RAM now installed.

This can help others - looks like I have did not wait long enough when I originally installed the two memory sticks.

  • Patches of Toshiba Service Station closes after starting after the installation of 3

    Hello

    We recently have a "patch day" Toshiba Service station. I think from my memory that the patches are released earlier, but I installed them on April 23, 2010. There are three patches, and so that I can restore from the system recovery, it was:

    -Flashing of BIOS
    -Patch HDD/SSD Alert
    -HDD Recovery patch.

    So, not to mention that I had problems to make the flashing patch BIOS to run, finally extracting installation files to another location and run it with administrator rights.

    My problem is that after this session of patch, my Toshiba Service Station no longer starts. When I start my system, after recording on it seems to start upward but always farm then again with windows say error report 'stopped working' and that's it. I'm not sure patch who this could be. I also believe that one of these Islands said in the description that it will update station itself? I downloaded Service Station on the Toshiba site but it will not prove at best, does not matter if I uninstall it, before you start the installation with administrator rights or not.

    My system is Satellite A500, Windows 7 64 bit.

    I hope you can help. Unless I can't access the updates anymore!

    Note: A few days before I installed a graphic driver for my Nvidia GT 230 m SINCE THE SITE WEB of NVIDIA. Why am I? I've lived literally all HOURS a unwanted system reboot and I see in the problem report it was always because of the graphic driver. Subsequently, I installed the two patches from the site of Toshiba, the elders and the most recent, but the problem persisted. Fortunately, a few days I have recheched the Nvidia site and there was a new driver.

    Although he said BEFORE (not now anymore) that this graphics card should be based on a driver manufacturer, I installed it but because he Coulnd't ' t get worse. The positive thing is that I didn't have a single far system crash even if I leave the phone turned on for hours.

    I'm not sure if the problem with the gas station started right after the installation of the graphics driver, but it can't be because I installed the three patches mentioned above, through gas station, a few days later.

    But he seemed to have affected the software after these patches? I'm not sure.

    Hello

    Simply said; Toshiba Service Station breaks down and new installation of this tool didn't help.
    Right?

    Well, because you are not sure what s wrong and depending on the assignment, you have other problems with the software, I recommend to recover the laptop using the recovery of HARD drive option!
    This will outline the laptop to factory settings.

    Of course, you must back up the data if you have important files.

    Run recovery disc HARD and after that check how the laptop would serve!

    Hello

    Normally after the installation of recovery your laptop should work fine again.

    In my opinion, it could be a malfunction of the equipment. Did you test the HARD drive for bad sectors? You can do this with Drive Fitness Test: http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/download.htm#DFT
    Download the ISO image and burn it to a disk. Then you can boot from it and test your HARD drive for errors.

    I also recommend to check the RAM for errors: http://memtest86.com/
    Memtest is a good diagnostic tool for the RAM.

    I hope I could help a bit. :)

  • PC has not successfully restarted after the installation of updates

    Hello

    I have been updated with Windows Update and asked to restart my PC after the installation is complete, however, my computer froze just at that moment, so I had to press the power button to force it to close. So I don't a not properly restart but forced my PC to stop and I have not a screen saying "Configuring updates" as usual (because there is no restart appropriate but just a forced to close). When I turned on my PC back, I thought that all updates have been lost or screwed up because I don't restart the PC correctly, however, instead, windows said it was "Configuring updates" (from 0% to 30%) and 30%, he said he has been stop and then rebooted my machine and these updates have been 100% configured/installed.

    So my question is, were all 100% installed as said windows updates or was it just a fake reviews? Because I forced my PC to stop rather than restart it when all updates to complete the installation.

    In addition, argues that all updates have been installed successfully in the "Installed updates" menu, too. Please let me know if it of a false notice or not.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD

  • Again - the EULA allows to keep Windows XP after the installation and activation of a retail upgrade to Windows 7

    The EULA allows to keep Windows XP after installation and activation of a retail upgrade to Windows 7?
    I understand that the EULA (EULA) prohibits the USE of the operating system upgraded - must also be removed from the system?

    I intend to upgrade a pre-installed Windows Media Center 2006 on a Gateway computer to a level of detail to Windows 7 Pro 64 - bit.  I am adding a new hard drive, as this case nears end of life... and plan to install the operating system upgraded to the new HD - because I have XP 32 bit to Win7-64 bit... and a "custom" installation is necessary, anyway.

    This will result in an operating system XP on the old hard drive and the new OS Win7 Pro 64 - bit on the new drive.  There have been suggestions that the answer to this question is simply to remove the "old" operating system, after activating the 'new' Windows 7.  However - I see that any installation (or REINSTALLATION) of the operating system upgraded to Win 7 requires the previous XP to be "present on the computer.

    QUESTION: as long as I don't 'USE' the BONE replaced/implemented to date, I am in compliance with the EULA?  Alternatively, do I install "over" this Windows Media Player OS - on the old, due to lack of hard drive?

    The Media Center EULA States: «...» "15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After you upgrade, you can no longer use the software upgrade of. ... ', but is silent (as far as I can find by reading the EULA on the question of if software upgrade HAVE to be 'destroyed'.)

    (See: http://download.microsoft.com/Documents/UseTerms/Windows%207_Professional_English_7bb89e9f-20ea-4555-892f-394539ec1090.pdf "")

    Thanks for your review (a reference to the appropriate Microsoft documentation would be nice too)
    John

    You said above, «...» "You will be able to upgrade to Windows XP, it is a qualification license... »

    And I assume you are talking about my software Windows XP Media Center Edition (currently installed), as being a "qualification licence".

    That is right.

    Are we in agreement that a copy preinstalled OEM of Windows XP Media Center Edition IS extendable with a 'detail' update the license for Windows 7?

    His qualification, but you can't make a real room upgrade, you can do a custom installation. See the previous post on how to migrate from Windows XP to Windows 7. An upgrade maintains the personal files, settings and installed applications.

    I understand the ban on using the OEM OS software OR the upgrade replacement software on one computer other than the one on which it was originally installed by the OEM.

    I also understand that I cannot use the "improved" XP Media Center software, once the upgrade of Windows 7 has occurred.

    The rest to determine if it NEEDS to be deleted or replaced... you have no guidance on this issue?

    Well, when you perform a custom installation, in essence, it is deleted or replaced. Then, it is part of the upgrade license. It's like it becomes a mind is more tangible, but always there as a base to which the upgrade license may exist on your system.
