Impossible to use 4 GB of memory on my Satellite A200

Hello

I have a little problem!
I have a Satellite A200-1CR and I want to upgrade my memory to 4 GB.
After a little research I found that my pc has 2 slots and supports DDR2-667 type with memory memory 4 GB maximum.

So, I bought two Kingstons KVR667D2S5 / 2G (2 Go DDR2-667) and after reading the manual, I removed the previous 512 MB and I put the new. I started my pc but nothing. Just a black screen!

I gave my old 512 MB and everything was normal.
Please if you know something, help me...
I don't know if it's important, but I use Windows XP Home edition and bios version 5.20.
Sorry for my English and thanks anyway!

I haven't tried a single memory every time and everything went normally with 2 GB.
So, I think, the problem is that the BIOS cannot recognize 4 GB.
Is it possible to fix this?

Do you mean start laptop doesn t more?

The BIOS is able to handle 4 GB of RAM.
In my opinion the two modules can not work together. Who knows why?  :|
I think that you need to replace the modules.

According to this page, you must use the DDR2 667 MHz (PC2-5300) 200 - PIN SODIMM

    Is it useful to upgrade the memory on the Satellite M70 - 394? Where the best place to buy it and what I should go for? How will this affect my laptop? It will void the warranty at all?

    Sorry for so many questions

    Hello

    First of all it s worth it to upgrade the memory for portable computers. The increases in performance and the operating system should work better and faster.
    Well, I checked a few websites, and it seems that it is possible to upgrade the memory on this laptop to max 2048 MB (2x1024Mo)

    As far as I know the laptop came with a 512 MB module. In this case, the second Bank is empty. The memory location is placed at the bottom of the unit. If you want to upgrade the memory to remove the slot cover down and carefully insert the module. I think you'll find instruction how to handle the upgrade memory in the user manual.

    In addition, you can order the compatible modules form the Toshiba service partner. In this case, you will be sure that you have taken in charge to 100% and compatible modules.

  • Question on the frequency of the memory on the Satellite A200-1GH

    Hello

    I have 2 x 1 GB RAM (667 mhz), but RAM is working only 533 mhz. show CPUz RAM can run on 333 mhz (2 x 333 = 667 mhz), but it works on 2 x 266 mhz = 533... Why?

    can you help me please?.

    THX... respect

    That normal, because your CPU is working with a FSB of 533, that does not mean that the FSB rises if you install faster modules. Why do you think, tosh installs these modules if the CPU would be more able to FSB.
    IF the CPU would be able to run on a higher FSB, then why Don t they install faster modules? Because the CPU runs only on a FSB of 533.

    Here´s a site that shows the FSB of your CPU-> http://www.intel.com/products/processor_number/chart/coreduo.htm

  • Satellite A200 PSAE3A is slow - possible memory upgrade?

    Hello
    I am a real novice with this stuff so please bear with me and my stupid questions.

    I have a Satellite A200 PSAE3A - 07M 007. I got no upgrade at all.
    It has only 1 GB of RAM. It's so slow its driving me crazy.

    Cannot afford the new PC. Can I spend it?
    What I have to buy. I'm a little afraid to go to someone right now because they could tell me anything and I would believe it!

    Thank you

    Nice

    Hi mate

    According to the info I found [here | http://www.computerdirect.co.nz/products/NOTTOS429.pdf] the memory of the Satellite A200 PSAE3A - 07 M 007 can scale up to 2 GB of RAM.
    This means that you can buy another 1 GB RAM module (1 GB RAM PC2-5300 memory module) in order to improve this device.

    The upgrade is not very difficult.

  • Flash player 11.3.300.262 is using a lot of memory

    Since the update flash a few days ago, that the plugin uses a lot more memory than usual. He uses normally between 150 MB to 200 MB, but now I've seen him use up to 900 MB.

    I noticed that the memory use increases of 5 MB or more, when you browse through a video until I stop the plugin because of the ridiculous amount of memory used.

    Please check if all your plugins are up to date. To do this, go to the Mozilla Plugin Check site.

    Once you are there, the site will check if all your plugins have the latest versions.
    If you see in the list of plugins that have a yellow button to update or a red button update now , please put to update these immediately.

    To do this, click each red or yellow button. Then you should see a site that allows you to download the latest version. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation and follow the steps in the installation process.

  • Satellite A200-1FL: RAM Upgrade - what memory can I use?

    I think to update the RAM of my laptop, but I do not know what type of memory should I buy and what brands are compatible.

    The current RAM is 2 GB and I would switch to a 3 or 4 GB.
    However, I would like to know if this laptop is compatible with Linux.

    Thank you

    Theoretically, you can use the modules of memory from different manufacturers.
    But modules of memory must support the right specifications.

    You must use the modules that are DDR2 667 MHz (PC2-5300) 200 - PIN SODIMM.

    You can update the memory up to 4 GB, but I think that it of not necessary to do this because the windows OS will recognize only 3 GB due to the limitation of the 32 bit OS.

    What about you, Linux question.
    Is Toshiba doesn't release all the drivers for Linux and so you need to get the drivers on sites of third other 3rd. But in general I put t see any trouble along with the installation of Linux on Toshiba laptops.

  • the process Svchost.exe to netsvcs uses a lot of memory (~ 600 MB) and 100% cpu

    I have windows xp edition sp3 family. I hit the power button to hibernate the pc but I think an automatice update was running.  Pc crashes when windows resumes after hibernation. I forced a re-boot, but now the svchost.exe to netsvcs process uses a lot of RAM and CPU. I have a Dell Dimension 8250 with 1 GB of RAM. Svchost uses > 600 MB of memory and 100% of the CPU unless I have stop the DHCP service. When I stop DHCP the svchost stops using CPU and memory affected slowly decreases to about 150 MB and remains at this level. But without DHCP I do have access to the network.

    After installing SP3 recently I started having some weird problems, as I lost my printer and had to re - install the software. Also noticed that after re-booting and desktop appears completely empty, the screen turns white and the taskbar at the bottom will appear empty for about 30 seconds, then reappears. PC seems to be more slow tha before installing SP3.

    I've tried everything. Nothing stopped the svchost to chew all the memory, virtual memory and time processor. Had to re - install windows xp.

  • I would like to know what svchost processes I can disable and how. Some of them use a lot of memory on an older machine making it almost useless .___Thank you, ___Ray

    Some of the processes running in the Task Manager use a lot of memory in an old machine (laptop), and the amount of additional memory that can be installed is very limited.
    I would like to disable the process I do not always use or need and speed up things a bit.

    http://aumha.org/a/loads.htm - which loads at startup?
    http://www.theeldergeek.com/services_guide.htm
    http://www.blackviper.com

    Some reasons for the slow pace of the computer:

    1. computer has not been maintained - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Maintenance

    2. the computer is infected with the malware - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

    3. the disk is too full. Remove useless stuff, uninstall unused programs. Do not forget to save!
    http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Backing_Up

    4. flaky third party software. Toolbars and modules are particularly guilty in this area. Uninstall toolbars (Google, Yahoo, ISP brand, etc) and look at what modules are in use in your browser (s).

    5. computer has too many unnecessary programs/processes running in the background. Manage your Startup:

    For XP - How to troubleshoot using the Msconfig in Windows XP utility - http://support.microsoft.com/?id=310560
    The free Autoruns program is very useful for managing your Startup - http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/default.mspx

    6. the user runs an inflated/invasive such as Norton and McAfee antivirus program. Replace it with a better program. I recommend NOD32 (commercial) or Avast (free). Avira is also good, but the free version has an unpleasant reminder screen (Google for instructions on how to disable it). The user can also run several real-time antivirus/firewall/security programs.

    7. the user has installed new programs that are processor and/or memory-intensive (Photoshop, AutoCAD, Mathmatica or similar) and does not have the power of the equipment.

    8 drive fails and is in PIO Mode. It's very much slow (like being in 1985). See Hans-Georg Michna here information - http://winhlp.com/?q=node/10

  • How to use data recovery in memory of "D"? The computer did not contain a wrioter of C/D, so I couldn't make a recovery disk.

    How to use data recovery in memory of 'd' (about 10 GB)?

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    Ask your manufacturer of computers for the EXACT method to restore to factory settings.

    This isn't their recovery process, Microsoft.

  • JOINT-2, using a lot of memory

    Hello.

    I question obout JOINT-2 that is using 98% of the memory.

    Output sh worm:

    With the help of 1944629248 of 1979682816 memory available bytes (98% of use)

    With 4.3 G off bytes 17 G of disk space available (27% of use)

    It is normal that it is using 98% of memory durning normal operation or there is a problem?

    If this is not normal if you please tell me how I can trobuleshoot what is wrong with it.

    This message is misleading, because it includes the memory allocated for the system process as well as the memory allocated for the cache. Because cache

    memory is really "free". It is available for allocation at any time.

    It's actually a bug in cosmetics that you use in.

    If you want to check during periods of what you believe to be the high memory usage, you can connect as the user of the service

    (if you have not created a user of the service you can do this through):

    1. log in using the account "cisco", the prompt will look like:

    probe #.

    2. Enter configure terminal mode:

    probe # configure terminal

    3. create the service account:

    username Sensor (config) # service password xxx privilege service

    Then connect on the sensor as the user of the service and run the command 'free. ' What 'sh worm' reports is the column "used."

    The "Mem: ' row, column" used"is the amount of memory (in kilobytes) that reports the"show version"command." However, this total includes the amount 'cached '.

    The formula to calculate the actual memory used is:

    ((used-Cached) / total) * 100 = percentage of memory used.
