• Qosmio G30-211: how BIOS update on Vista 64-bit?

  Hello

  Hello

  Because of your first thread posted here in the forum, I guess you have a laptop Qosmio G30-211. This unit belongs to the series of PQG32E.

  Now, we must clarify something;
  Toshiba laptops are not delivered with a 64 bit OS. Also the Qosmio G30-211 not was not preinstalled with Vista 64 bit, but with 32-bit Windows, XP Media Center Edition 2005.

  In my opinion, to run the original image of Toshiba (or MS Vista 32 bit OS) for updating the BIOS. And not a 64 bit OS!
  The BIOS of 3, 50 - WIN at the moment on the Toshiba page is OS independent, so it should be available for updating Vista or Xp.

  In the BIOS zip file you will find only an exe file, and you must run this file to launch the BIOS update procedure.

  By the way; the document said Toshiba;

  For the current offers in the range of Toshiba laptops two different BIOS update procedures.
  -Windows base update: BIOS is updated to Windows.
  -Traditional update: BIOS is updated using a floppy disk or a CD-ROM when starting.
  We recommend that you update the BIOS from Windows.

• Upgrade memory satellite A110-103 - the Bios shows only 1 GB of RAM

  {color: #000000} Dear Forum Toshiba,

  I own a Toshiba Satellite A110-103 (PSABE6) bought in 2006 of the Belgium.
  I have trouble about an upgrade of RAM for this laptop. The laptop was originally a Samsung 512 MB of RAM.
  I tried to upgrade the RAM to its maximum capaity supported 2 GB.
  I bought and installed 2 Kingstone SODIMM 1 GB Value Ram DDR2 PC2 4300 units compatible with the laptop, but

  in the BIOS, I see only 1 GB of RAM.
  I tested each RAM separately and they work very well. The problem is that when I install in my

  locations of the laptop, my BIOS sees no Ram.Instead 2 GB 2 GB, it shows only 1 GB. I updated my BIOS for more later

  version 1.70 (for XP), but the laptop continues to show only 1 GB.

  I tested the RAM separately:
  -inserted only 1 stick in the drive and the pc started ok showing 1 GB of RAM
  -then I inserted the same stick in another location and it also worked well showing 1 GB of RAM
  - then I checked another unit of the RAM in the same way and worked well
  -When I try to put 1 GB of Ram and the old 512 MB RAm the BIOS correctly showed the new value of 1.5 GB
  -i also checked the other 1 GB of ram and the old 512 MB of ram and showed good again in the Bios with the value of 1.5 GB
  - but when I tried to put the 2 ram set units to obtain the BIOS only detected 1 GB 2 GB.

  Here's the description detailed 1 GB modules that I try to install:

  SLOT #1
  The module size: 1024
  Band Max bandwidth: PC2-4300(266Mhz)
  Manufacturer: Kingston
  Reference number: 9905293 - 0.14A00LF

  I think the problem is that the two s of RAM are not compatible, but it is not explained to me because use you two identical modules.

  In your case I return the RAM to the computer dealer and say the modules work together in your notebook, but your laptop definitely supports 2 GB of RAM.

  I think that there is no other way because you have updated your BIOS to the latest version.
  Here is the part number for RAM Toshiba compatible:
  1 GB OF DDR2 400/533 (PA3411U-1M1G)

• HP Envy 15 1060ea Bios shows only 3 DIMM Slots.

  Hello

  I am trying to upgrade my 1060ea HP Envy (UK model) RAM.

  The laptop has 4 GB of RAM installed at present.

  I bought this laptop as a replacement of the workstation for graphics applications.

  I was hooked by the laptop with the understanding that "I could upgrade to 16 GB of RAM because there are 4 DIMM slots".

  My number of portable product = VJ295EA #ABU. Card mother = 7009 36.35. System BIOS = f.2bs.

  There are 4 Slots DIMM physical on the machine, two internal, two external.

  The two DIMM slots internal should remove the back of my laptop, which I am not willing to do.

  The two external DIMM slots are accessible by removing the laptop battery and remove the 3 screws and a small sign.

  I bought a 4GB SODIMM DDR3PC1060 module so far.

  Module Spec = 4096 MB DDR3 PC3-10700 (677 MHz).

  I don't see what follows.

  (1) if I insert the module SODIMM 4 GB in the external DIMM location nearest battery laptop, all works well.

  I start the laptop and the BIOS recognizes the additional 4 GB memory and Windows 7 64 bit also recognizes additional memory of 4G. I see subsequently notified to the system memory.

  Memory 8 GB system

  1 SODIMM 4 GB 1333 MHz

  Locations 2 2GB SODIMM 1333 MHz Micron

  3 2GB SODIMM 1333 MHz Micron.

  (2) the module SODIMM 4 GB is not recognized by the BIOS or Windows 7, when I insert the plug-in 4 GB SODIMM in slot DIMM closest to the body of the laptop.

  (DIMM location is under the location DIMM referred to in (1) above).

  (3) I decided to look at 3rd parties providing modules SODIMMmemory Dee if they had software to detect the number of DIMM slots on my machine. I looked at the following link. (http://www.crucial.com) and downloaded a tool to detect the number of DIMM slots on the machine.

  Here are the results:

  Type of memory: DDR3 PC3-8500, DDR3 PC3-10600, DDR3 (non - ECC)memory Maximum: 16GB Slots: 4

  Each slot of memory can hold DDR3 PC3-8500, DDR3 PC3-10600, with a maximum of 4 GB per slot.* * should not exceed manufacturer supported memory

  Based on the foregoing, there are 4 slots. I can see two physical external DIMMS.

  I'm confused. Here are my questions.

  (1) the amount of memory I would be able to install on this HP Envy 1060eanotebook?

  (2) why the BIOS reports only 3 DIMM slots?

  (3) it's the broken BIOS?

  (4) what I need to upgrade the BIOS?

  Thank you

  Spoiler (Highlight to read)

  Hello

  I bought another stick of memory of 4 GB, the same specification as described in my initial post.

  If I insert only one stick in the external memory expansion slot nearest the body of the laptop module is not recognized by the BIOS.  -J' have still 4 GB of total Ram.

  If I insert only one of these sticks in the other external location, it is recognized. I have 8 GB of total Ram.

  If I insert both of these sticks of 4 GB memory in external memory module expansion ports, both are recognized by the BIOS I have 12 GB of total RAM.

  Strange behavior, but that's what I see.

  In any case, I took the chance, bought two sticks, open the laptop & replaced the two sticks of 2 GB internal memory with the new 4 GB 4 GB sticks of memory.

  I now have a 1060ea HP Envy with 16 GB of Ram seen by the BIOS, Windows7 and Linux and 2 spare 2 GB sticks.

  Thanks for your response anyway.

  Problem solved.

• Satellite Pro A200 - shows only 3 GB instead of 4 GB of RAM

  Hello

  2 years ago I had a Satellite Pro A200 as a professional laptop and it works with XP SP2, later with SP3. With 2 GB, it shows 2 GB memory in Windows - and I know it's a Radeon 7500 with 256 MB memory graphics individual, and there is no shared memory.

  I upgraded to 4 GB, but Windows shows exactly 3 GB. BIOS shows 4 GB and ATI system monitor shows 4 GB. I know that 4 GB is not possible under XP 32-bit, only on Windows 2003 R2 32 bit or Vista - but on desktop systems, I've seen values between 3.3 and 3.7 GB.

  So, where's the memory? It looks like a bug - the chips of memory have two 2 GB I checked this. Because it's a company laptop I can not just switch to 64-bit XP :-(

  There's no option in the BIOS - first I thought that it is the graphics card, but mine has independent graphics with own memory so that the computer comes up with MB 2048 or 4096 after the upgrade.

  Shared memory would show about 1900 MB of RAM for the operating system as my private EEEpc.

  Hi shadowmaster_1,

  > I know that 4 GB is not possible under XP 32 bit
  Then why do you ask this question here if you already know? Moreover, it s not a limitation in XP, it s a material limitation on all 32-bit systems

  > only on Windows 2003 R2 32 bit or Vista
  And who says that Windows 2003 or Vista can use 4 GB? Okay, there's an update for Vista where 4 GB correct displayed in system properties, but that doesn't make no difference. Vista 32 bit peut t use all of 4GB, it s only cosmetic improvements! ;)

  > So where is memory?
  Memory is installed on your computer, but can t be used complelty with a 32 bit OS.

  At the end of the story: If you want to use 4 GB, you need to install a 64 bit OS. On all the 32 bit OS, you can use only upward to ~3.2GB RAM!

• Tecra M10 - Diagnostic mode shows only 3 GB instead of 4 GB of RAM

  Hello

  I have 2 Tecra M10-133 and M10J. In both cases, the system BIOS shows 4 GB (4096 MB) memory total. When I activate the Diagnostic Mode (Enable) and restart the system, this shows the following:

  3072MB MEMORY CHECK 1 OK
  3072MB MEMORY CHECK 2 OK
  3072MB MEMORY CHECK 3 OK
  3072MB MEMORY CHECK 4 OK

  Some body knows the reason why does not not the 4096MB of RAM?

  Thank you very much..!

  Hello

  I'm not very well why the diagnosis Mode shows same 3072MB 4 GB are inserted m but what value of memory is reported by the Windows operating system?
  Windows recognizes the full 4 GB of RAM?

  I should mention that only 64-bit OS can use and recognize the full 4 GB of RAM.
  The 32 bit OS will recognize as the 3.2 GB

  The other thing is that the graphics card uses part of the RAM, but generally, this should not affect the Diagnostic Mode.

  However, check your BIOS version and if more recent BIOS was released, then I recommend you to update.

  You will need to run the setup of BIOS with administrator rights. This can be easily done by right click on the setup and choose ' run as... '. ».

  Hello

  to be honest, this problem is one of the most annoying problem as the failure of Bios in this forum.

  I think that problem is in the Bios, it does not recognize the 4 GB, but only 3 GB.

• Satellite L30 PSL33E shows only 896 MB instead of 1024 MB

  I bought a PSL33E with 512 MB of memory. I upgraded to 1024Mo by adding a second SAMSUNG 512 MB, exactly equal to the original. Instead of 1024 MB, it displays only 896 MB. What is the reason for this difference?

  Is something related to the video memory, 128 MB, or can I have a problem in the computer? I removed the memory and it shows 448MB, boths memories and in both slots.

  Hello

  You have a shared memory graphics card?

  The actions of graphics memory shared the part of main memory and, therefore, the main memory does not show the full 1024Mo.

  It seems that the difference of 128 MB (1024 MB - 896 MB = 128 MB) is used by the graphics card.
  It's nothing wrong and nothing wrong. So don t worry buddy. Everything looks ok ;)

• Update IOS Sierra shows only 8 GB instead of 16 GB

  After the upgrade to my system Sierra shows that 8GB instead of 16 GB in which I have two installed RAM 8 GB cards.

  Ive done a reset of the NVRAM/PRAM memory and no help.

  Does anyone else have this problem?

  

  I would try reinstalling the memory in Bank 1. I doubt that Sierra has nothing to do with it, just a coincidence I guess. I've not seen anyone else with this issue since Sierra was released.

• list of archive logs show only 1 location instead of 2

  Friends...

  Why list archives logs showing that one location whereas the query indicates both the location. and why list of newspapers of record showing instead of archive1 archive2?
  
  Thank you

  The LIST of NEWSPAPERS of ARCHIVES control gives a quick overview of the State of archive, it clearly should not be used to report on destinations.

  The ARCHIVE_DEST view $ V gives a clear view into where on the disk are these destinations and when you use the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n parameter, is closely related to what has been entered in the file init.ora parameters

  Hello

  With the new update of Firefox, the number of tiles is now determined on the size of the screen - if zoom you or enlarge the window, you can have several tiles appear.

  If you want to set a fixed number of tiles, I believe you can do it with the following extensions:

• Portege 3480CT shows only 500 MHz instead of 600 MHz

  The manual mentions it as 600 Mhz machine, but mine never runs greater than 500 Mhz since I installed XP

  The 500 Mhz processor never leaves. I didn't know this until I installed a small utility to monitor the speed of the processor. The most I ever get is 500 Mhz. I don't know why it won't speedstep upward.

  I installed the software to save energy, but it was just a futile attempt

  Hello

  You can also check the hardware configuration tool. On the CPU tab you can set the CPU frequency mode. Try to set it to high. I believe that in this case the CPU will run with maximum speed constantly.
