Problems to install 4 GB of RAM on Satellite L300/L02

I bought a new Satellite L300/LO2 a few weeks back with 1 GB of RAM installed. Sheet product specification of Toshiba for laptop says "Total expandable memory up to 2 GB... If 4 GB is installed, recognized memory may be reduced (for configuration and system memory allocation function)'.
I tried to install strips of of 2 x 2 GB Kingston RAM, but the laptop will not start.

I just got a blue error screen. The two RAM sticks worked fine individually - the laptop wouldn't be fair works with both sticks installed.

I returned the laptop to the retailer and received a replacement machine, but it has the same problem.
I am now under the replacement machine with 3 GB of RAM (1 x 1 GB stick, stick of 1 x 2 GB).

Anyone know if there is a solution so that I can install the second 2 GB key?

The laptop came with 32 bit Vista Home Premium pre-installed.
I wonder if the machine might work better (and function with the extra RAM) if I install Windows WP instead?

Hey Buddy

Toshiba series is equipped with different devices and different hardware configurations.

I downloaded the manual Toshiba L300 series and the manual says:
+ PC25300 512 MB, 1 GB, or 2 GB modules of memory can be installed in two memory locations. * Speed and memory size maximum system depends on the model you have purchased! *+

I guess that your laptop was equipped with the * Intel GL960 chipset * (Please check this too)
These chipset, supports DDR2 memory at 533 Mhz ONLY and * max 2 GB! *

Check this technical paper Intel Chipset: * Chapter 1.3.2. *
http://www.Intel.com/assets/PDF/datasheet/316273.PDF

I think that this case is clear!

  • Update CPU and RAM for Satellite L300

    Hello I have a TOSHIBA Model 32 bit: Satellite L300 (PSLB8E-01200PGE)
    And I wanted to know what CPU I could go too. ?

    and also the default value of RAM is now at: / 3GB.

    Thank you

    > And I wanted to know what CPU I could go too. ?

    CPU upgrade isn't part extensible official.
    What does that mean?

    This means that laptop manufacturers (no matter which) don t support these updates.
    Computer laptop manufacturers don t provided no information that CPU is 100% taken in charge and compatible.

    I guess the number PSLB8E-01200PGE model belongs to the Satellite L300-1 has 3
    The RAM can be upgraded up to 4 GB, but your 32-bit system supports only 3.2 GB of RAM
    So the upgrade of RAM makes no sense where you'll still use the 32-bit operating system.

    Regarding the upgrade of CPU:
    The CPU must chipset and BIOS support.
    The laptop seems to be equipped with chipset Mobile Intel GM 45
    http://Ark.Intel.com/products/35134/

    Under compatibility, you can check taken processors supported by the chipset.

    But even if the chipset would support the new processor, BIOS could not provide this support.
    Upgrading CPU is always tricky.

  • BSOD after installing new 1 GB RAM on Satellite Pro M40

    Hello

    I recently got 1 GB of DDR2 memory for my Satellite M40.
    It worked brilliantly for about 10 minutes, everything was nice and fast, Windows recognizes & used.
    Then I turned off the computer. After turning it back on and I was doing some intensive RAM stuff... well messing around with settings i-tunes in any event viewer, when I got the dreaded blue screen of death.

    I rebooted, but could not even go beyond the home screen without the error message appears.
    Only without the RAM installed can go without a BSOD for any serious amount of time. I tried swapping ram autour in two struggling but no luck...

    Any help would be great,
    Thank you very much in advance,
    Roland

    Hello Roland

    The description of your problem is very nice, but why you didn't mention which module of RAM you use for the upgrade. What is a product without name or compatible module recommended by Toshiba?

    First of all, we should start with basic information;
    The M70-151 Sat belongs to the series of PSM71E that's why you should choose this issue of the European driver Toshiba page if you want to download the correct drivers.

    _You will need these drivers: _

    Can someone help me work on my abilities of the system. Was looking to upgrade to win 7 64 bit and didn't know if my pc is able.
    My system is as follows:

    Processor Processor - Intel (R) 585 @2. 16 GHz

    Running vista 32 bit hp. Performance information printed and it says 64 bit capable. Am confused because I thought that win 7 64 needed 4 GB of ram for optimal performance. If I need to upgrade RAM, anyone knows if I can spend 4 GB in this model or where I can get the relevant information. Having read in the manual of the user on the memory and I'm a little lost. The information reads as follows

  • How to upgrade RAM on Satellite L300-1BW

    Hey!

    Agreed I would update my RAM. But I've never owned a laptop, I have been using your desktop since the first day.

    I was wondering if someone could point me in the direction of little RAM that is compatible with my L300-1BW.

    Prefferbly 3-4GB RAM would be really decent. Thank you to

    Hi dude

    If it's your first laptop then I would recommend first read the manual of the user that is stored on the Toshiba laptop.
    I think that this should be the first step before using a device for the first time.
    I did it with my new Full HD LCD too before using it I first read the user manual.

    Why I m suggesting consulted the user manual? Its very simple.
    You will find all information s. check the extension memory of Chapter 8.

    The laptop can be upgraded up to 4 GB (2 x 2 GB) and you can use the modules of PC2-5300. If the laptop supports GL960 Express chipset then the PC2-5300 modules would go as PC2-4200 due to a lower speed of the FSB of GL960 Express chipset.

    Notes; The 32-bit Windows recognizes THAT 3.2 GB of RAM. Only 64-bit OS can handle more than 3.2 GB

    See you soon

  • Satellite L300 - 1 year PSLBGE - device Modem problem

    Hey

    I try me set up my dial-up access, so I can use internet at home...
    It is said that any modem devices are
    but in the previous copy of windows that I had... everything was fine.
    would u please help me solve this problem?

    Portable computer system unit Toshiba satellite L300 1 year
    Model No.: PSLBGE-002004AR
    OS: Windows XP
    Note: I went on the site of toshiba drivers and I downloaded 3 files of modems here to try to update the modem driver
    but nothing helps and the problem persists
    Thanks for reading
    Your
    ~ Nour

    I guess that you have activated the Device Manager and there is no yellow exclamation point isn't good?
    Figure modem in the list?
    It should be!

    How have you tried to configure the dial-up access?
    You should do this;
    Go to the category modems Options - Control Panel - hardware and sound - and.
    In the local info window, select an area code; for example, 0.
    Then click the Modems tab, click Add.
    If a User Account Control warning window appears, click on continue, and then click Next.
    Now Windows Vista should attempt to detect the modem.
    When the modem installation is complete, click Finish.

    Then the new modem installed should appear. Click OK to close the Options of Modem and telephony.
    Now, your modem is installed correctly, and you must now create a modem connection.

  • Satellite L300 - clean install Win 7 SP1 64 bit

    I just did a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit, replacing the normal 32-bit Vista that comes with the laptop.

    The facility has been good, but I have a few questions about the following:

    I adjusted the automatic run settings to ask every time for all selections. The problem is that when the game DVD in WMP or VLC disk reads but is noisy. It is very good for the s CD without excessive noise. The acoustic silencer on the download site is for 32-bit, but can be used in this laptop. In the original Vista there is no noise at all, so I wonder if there is other parameters that can sort this point, otherwise I'll have to keep changing things manually with the acoustic silencer.

    I noticed a very low noise coming from laptop (like a lighter version of a business when you're boarding Jet it). I ran a video memory Stress Test CE and he showed a few errors. If I reduce the brightness of the screen there is less noise so I wonder if it's something to do with the Panel of inverter of screen I'm sure that's not the HARD drive or the cooling fan, but it could be something on the motherboard.

    On the backup plan Acronis will slow down my system or are Win 7 OK backup options?

    Thanks a lot for all the possible solutions to these problems.

    A long time ago I've installed Win7 32 bit on friends Satellite L300. It worked perfectly. Much better than original Vista.
    > I still don't know what is the best test for the screen.
    I put t understand what kind of test do you mean. I hope that you have installed the right display driver and LCD works perfectly with a native resolution.

    Win7 recovery with Acronis image creation is, generally, the right decision. With this disc, you can install Win7 again and again very rapidly and you should not install every single driver separately.

    If you want to keep this laptop any longer I think it is worth to buy it. One last thing: you will buy it once and you can use it in the future too if you decide to buy the new laptop or PC.

  • Re: IMPORTANT - how to install Windows 2000 on a Satellite L300 - 16 M (PSLB0E)?

    Hello

    I am an independent developer and absolutely need to install multiple operating systems on my * Satellite L300 - 16 M (PSLB0E) *: it is very important for me because I need to check the functioning of the software under each environment for real (not not using solutions like VMware, for example).

    Well, then, right now, I did a backup Acronis image of original full HDD, and then deleted the original scores of WinRE and data, reduced and moved from disk to the partition of Vista... and installed System Commander 8 to prepare my future multi - initialize. For the moment, everything sounds right: Vista works perfectly!

    Also note, I have configured the SATA in the BIOS Setup in "Compatibility" mode just because I don't need AHCI in my type of use!

    Second step: now, * I have to install Windows 2000 Pro (SP4) EN *. Of course, I am aware that the sticking point is the SATA/AHCI driver, which is not present in the CD of Win 2 K... So, I just make a new CD integrating these drivers using nLite; now, I tried using the driver Intel site on Intel 82801 HEM / HBM SATA AHCI controller (ICH8M) and page drivers Toshiba XP.

    But it does not completely: the Win 2 K install begins... All the drivers are well charged (including the ones AHCI) and just after this stage of loading, I get a black screen with just a blink of an eye cursor at the top left of the screen... indefinitively :-(

    I tried also to SATA mode "AHCI" in the BIOS and it's the same thing.

    So, what to do next?

    I used the wrong AHCI drivers? Do I need to integrate as many drivers Toshiba (about chipset, display, sound) in the installation of Windows 2000 using nLite CD? I mean the capacity of the CD is not reached.

    Is there a way or a tutorial to install Windows 2000 somewhere? For XP, I think it will be easier because SP3 seems to support AHCI, but earlier, my problem is to install Windows 2000: Although Microsoft wants to leave-it, there are many professionals who still use-it... And my work as a developer, is to make my software also works on this OS! * I really need to find a way to install it on this computer! *

    Awaiting your response informed and all the tips or idea that could help me to complete the task.
    In a word: HELP! Oops!

    Post edited by: eanon

    > No I used the wrong AHCI drivers?
    Perhaps.

    As far as I know that you need the crib Intel Matrix Storage and in this package, you will find the SATA drivers.
    http://www.Intel.com/support/chipsets/IMSM/index.htm

    There you have to choose to get the latest driver - version PV-> Win 2000 8.5-> there you must take the package from point 3

  • [DV6-3140SL] Problem in my laptop after upgrading RAM

    Hi all,

    I want to upgrade the memory of my laptop HP DV6-3140SL model.

    Original RAM installed is a Micron 16JSF51264HZ-1G4D1, size 4GB.

    Then I bought 2 modules of the model Corsair CMSO4GX3M1A1333C9 (4 GB x 2 = 8 GB total)

    but when I installed this 2 cylinders in my notebook, start windows crashes;

    Sometimes I see Loading icon of progress, but immediately laptop restarts.

    BIOS recognizes correctly 8 GB and memory (the utility in the BIOS) test is OK.

    CMSO4GX3M1A1333C9 should has the same features as the original model of 16JSF51264HZ-1G4D1:

    SODIMM DDR3 PC3-10600 (1333 Mhz)

    What could be the problem? Incompatibility? Or faulty RAM memory?

    Note: NA is 8 64-bit Windows (W8 is an upgrade to Windows 7 original)

    Thank you for the support.

    You must use the Configurator of Corsair compatibility on their Web site.

    See if you can return the modules. The modules seen in the image below are the only guaranteed compatible modules by Corsair. Unfortunately, they are not modules of 4 GB compatible to your laptop.

    Memory of Kingston, on the other hand, is it guaranteed compatible 2 GB and 4 GB modules of memory for your laptop. With Kingston, bars of memory, you can upgrade to 8 GB and do work correctly the first time you start it back up after the upgrade.

  • HP 1000-1312tu had installed 6 GB of ram, but it shows only 929 usable

    my laptop running windows 7 ultimate x 32 .intel (r) Pentium (r) @2. 40 GHz I have 6 GB of ram installed and usable only 929. I already tried many things and I can't do bugs... Please help me

    Hi @minxfiles ,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    This is a good place to find answers and advice!

    You have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the HP Forums Learn how Post and more

    I understand that you have 6 GB of ram and it is only readable 929 reading.

    Just to be sure you're correct DDR3 ram installation?

    Installing the chips of RAM, they must be of the type suitable and properly matched.  You can have 2 @2 for 4 GB of ram or 2@4 GB to 8 GB of ram. To have 6 GB of ram, you would need 1@6 GB to 6 GB of ram.

    If you have added a 4 GB of ram with the original 2 is it came with, it is very likely what is causing the problem.

    Good luck!

  • Can NB100 - I install 4 GB of RAM?

    I read there are 4 GB 200 pin memory modules available. Does anyone know if toshiba netbook supports?

    I have a nb100, but don't worry to move a nb305 if this not support rather the nb100

    Hello

    It s depending on your chipset and BIOS if you can install 4 GB of RAM. Which chipset you have exactly? Therefore, you can check the specs on the Intel Web site.

    But I agree with Al - eX. I Don t buy 4 GB modules because they are too expensive. If you buy RAM 2x2gb it would be less expensive and I doubt that you would need more than 4 GB of RAM. This is only necessary if you play new 3D games or make a lot with video editing and therefore another laptop would be a better choice. ;)
