PSC0LA Satellie C660: After RAM upgrade only slightly increased memory
Toshiba Satellite C660 Notebook PSC0LA - 01C01H (32-bit; RAM maximum 4 GB [2x2gb]), Windows 7 SP1
When bought this laptop has 2 GB of RAM and memory of 1.67 GB. After that I recently doubled the RAM to 4 GB (maximum possible), available memory has increased to 2.84 GB.
I know that little RAM is reserved for the process of the system, video memory, kernel, etc., but this is really pissing me. I was expecting at least 3.34 GB available memory (double that previously available) in the assumption that only 0.33 GB would remain necessary to the process, videos, etc.
Why has this happened? Can we do anything to get the memory, as this modest increase in performance is barely perceptible?
Kind regards
Hedley
32-bit system (no matter if its Windows or Linux or another system) supports and recognizes 3.2 GB RAM max
If you want to use more than 3 GB of RAM, you must switch to the 64-bit system.

Satellite M115-S3094 freezes after RAM upgrade
Hello
I just added Corsair - 2 x 2 GB 200 PIN SODIMM DDR2 667 mhz memory to my laptop Satellite M115-S3094.
Earlier I had 512 MB included with the laptop. The problem is that sometimes the computer starts and freeezes, none of the buttons work and I have to hold the button for 10 seconds to turn off and restart the computer. Sometimes I restart 2-3 times until it works.
If there is any problem after commissioning, then I find myself using the laptop for hours like now and I won't have any problem until I restart.
This all started when I upgrded memory. I tried to re install and it did not help.I would appreciate any help from anyone who has faced such a problem. I also have windows xp home edition.
On the casablenca system, it shows 4 GB but used is only 2 GB. I even deleted one of the sticks, but I still have the same problem.
Hello
I think that the problem is without a doubt for new modules of memory installed
Maybe the modules aren't 100% compatible or failed modulesI guess the laptop ran correctly with the old module of RAM.
This would confirm my hypothesis and I think you should test the specifications with the other s RAMGood bye

Satellite A50-109: after RAM upgrade->; blue screen
Hi all
I bought a new patriot 1 GB ram sodimm pc 2700 as an upgrade to my satellite a50-109. After installation of the equipment on the back of the laptop, I had some problems with windows xp bsod (blue screen of death). Errors 0x000000e8. After recording with microsoft, I had to reinstall the drivers... Can someone help me please!
Thank you
AlexIt seems that you are using a module of memory without a name. These modules can malfunction. It s nothing unusual.
So I use and always buy modules memory Kingston or Infineon brand, for example.
I have goggled autour and actually ntfs.sys error might have something to do with the fault memory.
It s whatever the module has been properly recognized in the BIOS. Certain areas of memory may malfunctionIn my opinion, you should check if the laptop will be functions correctly with the modules of memory recommended by Toshiba

Windows 7 Home Premium OEM upgrade does not not after RAM upgraded FRO 1 GB to 4 GB
New installation Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit OEM worked the 1st time on workstation Dell Precision 380 (Pentium 4, 3.0GH, 1 GB RAM, Windows XP), so I registered with Microsoft. PC worked too slowly, so I upgraded the RAM from 1 GB to 4 GB. PC will not start now. Nothing on the website of dell, or the PC manual led me to believe that there could be a problem.
After I had already performed several tests, PC manufacturer said to install Windows 7 AFTER upgrading the RAM. However, as the installation before the upgrade of RAM and joined already, can I now reinstall the OS without affecting the OEM license.
You can reinstall Windows OEM on the same computer. Case of failure of the online activation:
Call Microsoft use the manual phone Activation
If you have trouble activating Windows 7 you can call Microsoft to activate it by following these steps:
1. with the operation of Windows, click Start, then in the search box type: slui.exe 4
2. press enter on your keyboard
3. Select your country.
4. Select the telephone activation option, then dial the given number and hold for a real person.For more details: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/18715-activate-windows-7-phone.html
Note: If you always install Windows page enter your product key, do not enter your key and uncheck the "Automatically activate when online" then click OK/next to complete the installation.

Satellite L10-119 freezes after RAM upgrade
My Satellite L10 is 4 years old. I wanted to update this change of RAM and HARD disk.
I installed in RAM DDR1 SoDimm 1 GB PC-3200 (a unit) and used my computer for a few hours.But next time, he started to make mistakes and freeze or stop going to the blue screen.
When I use DDR1 SoDimm 512 MB PC-2700 as a single unit, everything is OK.Will not track with * 1 Gb PC - 3200 * to use?
Hello
Case is clear!
> When I use DDR1 SoDimm 512 MB PC-2700 as a single unit, everything is OK
You used the not entirely compatible RAM modules!
This is the reason why your laptop freezes!The fact is that your L10 can be upgraded to 1 GB RAM max, this means you need to use max 512 MB RAM module in a slot
In addition, you can use the PC2700 200 pins (333 Mhz) DDR SODIMM modules and not of PC3200

After RAM upgrade on stick Satellite L30 - 10V single RAM is recognized
I just added a stick of Ram 1 GB Crucial in the L30-10 (PSL33E), but only the recognized 1 GB, the Hyundai stick (512 MB), which shipped with the laptop is no longer used by the system.
I tried to pass it around, but I can only get 1 stick of RAM to work at the time, is 1 GB, when the two Rams are placed in slots or if only the 1 GB is installed or 512 MB when I leave the 1 GB.
Do you have someone at - he managed to get 2 stick operating simultaneously, on this system?BTW, CPU - z recognize the two sticks and reports correctly 1536 MB, the BIOS but only 1 GB, in fact less, since some plans to unlock the graphics card.
The version of the BIOS on my system is V2.80, dated 05/03/2007 and the two memory are the same speed PC2-4200.

Could not load the BIOS after RAM upgrade - Satellite A200
Hello
I've updated my RAM memory on my laptop Thishiba Satellite A200 (from 2 GB to 4 GB) but unfortunately now I can't enter the BIOS. Automatically load the operating system (windows 7 64 bit).
How can I solve my problem?
P.S. The new RAM works perfectly and it is recognized by Windows 7.
Post edited by: bennito
I don't know what you've done and why this happens, but what you can do is to check if the quick start option is enabled.
Open Toshiba Assist > optimize > HWSetup > priority Boot and check the startup speed option it.
Remember that it is set to Normal.Please, check and send comments.

Satellite A100 - 521 RAM upgrade only works with original RAM in place
I am trying to upgrade the memory to 2 GB, as described in the user manual.
The computer does not start with the two new modules inserted. It will start with 1 GB installed in each slot until the original 256 MB module is inserted in the drive on the right, but does not work when the two 1 GB modules are inserted. There are 2 slots and the maximum is 2 GB for this computer. It told me to update the BIOS that I have on this site, but did not work.
I am currently using 1 modules of 1 GB and 256 MB provided with the computer module. I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-521.

Hello!
The two new modules have the same specifications as the old module?
In my opinion, the new modules are perhaps not fully compatible with your laptop or are not compatible in Dual Channel mode.
What is the exact label of the two modules?For the upgrade, you need DDR2-533 modules. I searched a bit using Google and the reference is PA3411U-1M1G.

After RAM upgrade my A60 will not start
Today I attemed to install new RAM in my A60. It didn't go very well and when he was in and I tried to start the computer, it would have started with amd before turning off again a few seconds later.
So I took the new RAM and tried to start it and it was fine. I then put the new ram back in and had the same problem, so he pulled out again, but once again with the new RAM it wouldn't start.
How can I get to do it again?
Hello
Of course, you use the incompatible module and because of this unit do not start correctly. Please, send it back and order form.
Compatible modules are:
PC2700 256 MB (PA3311U - 1 M 25)
PC2700 512 MB (PA3312U - 1 M 51)

problems with other apps now after the upgrade only Illustrator to CC
On a Mac. I try only to Illustrator CC. My other apps are CS6. Now when I go to open a PDF file for example - remember it's the CS6 Acrobat, I get the annoying CC sign in the window. He wants me to sign, but I'm not trying to use Acrobat CC. I try to use my Acrobat CS6.
When you complete your trial period, uninstall cc and clean by use the creative cloud cleaning tool to solve installation problems.
which can often solve the problem, but you may need to uninstall acrobat xi and then reinstall it when you have finished your cc trial period.
I'm not aware of the app from cc conversion of older versions for cc versions except if you allow the application to your old versions of 'day '. Thus, in the future, cannot update non - cc program.
