• Satellite A660-184 RAM extension

  Hello from Savoy! (I'm not American, I speak very well English)

  I have a problem with the TOSHIBA Satellite A660-184.
  The RAM was first 4 GB (2 * 2 GB).
  I bought new RAM: 2 * 4 GB (right model, the right frequency).
  On the TOSHIBA Web page for this computer, it is written: 8 GB maximum.

  -When I install 2 GB on lower housing and 4 go on the top slot: the computer works well.
  -When I install 4 GB on lower housing and 2 go on the top slot: cannot run.
  -When I install 4 go on both the upper and lower slots: cannot run.

  The version of the BIOS is 2.30 (it seems to be the last).

  Does anyone have a solution for this problem?
  Thank you

  Jerome.

  You are right about upgrading RAM. Your laptop can be upgraded up to 8 GB.
  > I bought new RAM: 2 * 4 GB (right model, the right frequency).
  Can you please tell us what brand did you buy? Some cheap or modules of memory RAM of high quality offered by Kingston or Samsung?

  So I hope that everything would be help me I m in a bad situation here.

  Hello

  I understand your situation but to be honest, I put t know how to help you.
  I put t know what that solved the service and what they did with your laptop, but what you can do is to install the OS by using the recovery image (on DVD or HARD drive) and to monitor closely what will happen in the future.

  While gaming, don't forget your laptop is placed on the desk and the cooling fans should not be stuck with a few Pater, books or anything else. before you start the game go portable high performance power plan and check that cooling in this plan of the power method is set to the maximum level.

  Hello, I have another problem with my new Satellite A660-1FL.

  I replaced the built-in hard drive of Hitachi against the many Toshiba MK3265GSX quieter. Now I always hear a beep when the processor is not loaded. It's especially annoying when I read the documents. I read on the internet that the problem occurs with the C4 State.

  How can I solve this?

  Hmm... This strange because I have Satellite A660 in front of me and can t s such notice beep. Everything is perfect and it s very quietly.

• Satellite A660 - do not find external DVD drive

  Hey guys. Newbie displaying in total despair of and needing help! I posted in other forums without success. I bought a Samsung SH-D162D DVD drive in a USB enclosure to connect to my Satellite A660 via USB.

  I can't get Windows 7 to find! When I plug in the USB cable, the ball comes up to say that it has been installed (sometimes), I can see it on for about 1 or 2 minutes then he falls. It is not listed in my hardware or anything. Its not found in disk management or my devices, so it is not a case to change the drive letter - I can't find the drive to change. I also tried to find upper and lower settings in regedit. Could not find them so couldn't remove them as suggested in other posts of this nature.

  It is set to master, the IDE connector and power connectors are very good. Its got to be a cause of problem of Windows 7 it comes very briefly. In the minute or 2 sound, I can't do anything with it. It crashes right although it will open and close. I've google it and can't find anything. Mainly of registry issues, but they did not help.

  Ive also connected to another laptop with XP and had no problems so I know the DVD Rom works very well and all the cables are ok. Ive tried all 4 USB ports on my laptop and also disabled all the parameters of energy. All with no luck. And I also all Windows 7 update.

  This is exactly what happens to the power out of the Cabinet.

  1. I connect the USB cord then turn on the enclosure.
  2 - I quickly click Start, and I can see the DVD Rom E player beside my computer laptop dvd rom.
  3 - the green bar above starts to fill to the top, from left to right and gets to half way then suddenly disappears icon of DVD Rom and makes the green bar.
  4. He then flashes up in computers laptops DVD Rom icon with a player of Local E drive, but only for a fraction of a second.
  5. sometimes a balloon comes up saying peripheral installation, then the installed device successfully... but not every time.

  And that's all. I'm at a total loss and the cant work, so any help is really appreciated!

  Hi Smee,

  So if you have already connected the external hard drive on another computer, and it worked correctly, it seems to be a driver or compatibility between your external DVD drive problem and and your Satellite A660

  It will be connected to the port USB then you tried to remove all the USB ports on the Device Manager? After that, you must restart your computer and the USB ports will be recognized automatically from the Device Manager. In addition, I would also try updating the chipset driver. New version, which you can download on the official website of Toshiba:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  Have you also tested other devices on your A660 if they work properly?

• Satellite A660 - boot problems USB after BIOS update

  Hello

  I own a Toshiba Satellite A660 and have recently updated the BIOS with the latest version (1.80). Since then, the laptop freezes on the splash screen (the one with the Toshiba logo) whenever a USB flash memory is attached.
  It works without the memory flash connected and if I connect it after I enter the starting or the BIOS Setup menu. I can even start her like that.
  As far as I'm concerned, this is a serious regression. Is there a way I can downgrade to the version of the BIOS, or any other way to solve this problem? I rely heavily on external USB drives.

  Kind regards
  Claudiu.

  Claudiu salvation,

  That is really interesting, I have to say so I tested on my new Satellite A660 and Transcend 4 GB USB Stick. Well, I also installed 1.80 BIOS but I can t view this problem HARD drive is set as first boot device and all the other BIOS settings are default. The Toshiba screen and Windows computer starts as usual.
  No problem at all!

  Have you tested different USB devices?

  In General, it is not possible to downgrade BIOS. It is possible to an authorized service because Toshiba on page you can download the latest version only but I doubt it s a bug in the new version of BIOS because it works on my A660.

• Satellite A660 - 10 X - freezes several times

  Hello

  A few months ago I bought the Satellite A660-10 x. On installed original system it freezes once (I used laptop maybe an hour) but I thought it was an accident, or maybe something was misconfigured. Then I installed the clear disk from Microsoft (Windows 7 Home Premium) system and install only the necessary drivers, but the problem from happening again. At first I thought as this only, when I don't click or move the mouse for over 1 minute, but that for now the problem appears also when I click or write something. I very rarely use this laptop, but as you can imagine it is very annoying and it is that I can not trust this laptop computer and the data on it. Maybe you know what are the causes of the problem or maybe some new drivers have been released to remove this problem?

  I read that not only I have the same problem.

  Best regards

• Satellite A660 - Windows 7 startup problem

  Hi, I have I think the biggest problem I have ever had. I have the Toshiba Satellite A660. I have Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit (just to know.) Computer laptop freezed so I pressed to shutdown (stop) to close.

  Then I tried to start it but I saw only "starting Windows" for more than an hour... When I tried to use the repair disk I saw the Green loading bar only (such as loading windows XP) but nothing happened again. So I tried to use the installation disc, but I get a "windows start" and nothing happened, even with a USB tip.

  Could someone help me?
  Thanks for all the posts.

  I understand that your computer was working and running W7 64 bit.
  You can or you looked in the BIOS? I don't know what you can view/change but is the HDD displayed and if memory is reported?
  If you use the drive of W7 or reinstall to start the computer drive can you get to the screen install Windows and select "repair your computer". If you do not see this screen, you will need to make sure that the DVD or USB is the first boot device.

  Return to this stage for more ideas or google for something like "windows command prompt repair 7.
