Re: Satellite A100-912 - 4 GB of RAM

I just installed 4 GB of RAM, but my computer can't see only 3 GB.
The two bones are slots and fit also (I checked).
I know the problem in Windows XP. Microsoft made the limitation to 3, 12 GB due to the compatibility of the drivers.
You know, how to omit this limitation?

Regars, Adam

I'm afraid, it is not possible to m.

Is that all s OS 32-bit Windows (Vista & XP) will not be able to use the entire 4 GB due to the limitation of the 32 bit OS.

But the fact is that it depends on not only compatible operating system.
4 GB of RAM usage depends on various factors such as; BIOS, CPU and Chipset.
All these parts must support 4 GB of memory.

If one of these parts would not support the 4 GB of RAM then you will not be able to use it.

  • Satellite A100-912 (PSAA9E) a device is missing after installing Vista

    Dear,

    I recently received a Satellite A100 - 912 (PSAA9E). Windows XP Home was preinstalled operating system. But when I installed Vista Ultimate, the Device Manager shows that a device is missing pilot. Its properties show that it is located on PCI, device 6 7 Bus and function 3.

    I downloaded the drivers all listed for the toshiba site system. So, can someone tell me what device it is and where I can find the driver for it? All devices such as the display, sound, modem, lan/wlan, player card, fingerprint reader, buttons of media multi burner Super multi and touch to touch work well.

    Hey Buddy,

    I Don t really know what device it is, but you can for example try a linux live cd. The live cd lists you start a list of pci devices so you can find that materials are in your machine.

    Alternatively, you can perform a search in google for 'list of pci Vista' and you might find some pci list of tools that can help you get information about unknown material thjat.

  • Problem of the Satellite A100-912 usb external HARD drive

    Please help guys!

    I installed Win 7 32 bit on my laptop Satellite A100-912. Everything works perfectly in addition to having problem reading external usb HDD (disk appears in disk management, but are not accessible). These discs are not defective, because I use them on some other Pcs. Thumb drives are not a problem at all. Tried to use the self-powered USB hub but without success. Not sure if this is a related issue of Bios or a material limitation of this device. Thank you!

    > Everything works perfectly as well as having problem reading external usb HDD (disk appears in disk management, but are not accessible).

    The HARD disk appears in disk management, but you see the additional HDD in my computer?

    I don't know Mr. what could cause this and he s strange that you cannot access the USB HDD, even if it has been recognized correctly
    Maybe you should try updating the chipset driver.
    Chipset driver controls the ports of interface USB/so it of certainly worth a try

  • Upgrade memory on a Satellite A100-912

    I am the owner of a Satellite a100-912 and I want to improve his memory!
    As it seems, this model supports only the modules SODIMM DDR2 PC2-4200 (533 Mhz). Before the purchase of a memory module that might regret, I want to know if there will be compatibility problems if I use this module of PC2-6400 DDR2 SODIMM for notebook (800 Mhz).

    Will it work, even at low clock speed (533 Mhz), or it's going to be a total waste of money?

    As far as I know that the FSB is capable of managing modules to 667 Mhz.
    You can use the lower modules (533 Mhz) without any problem but modules with superior Mhz will not work at full speed because of the limit BSF.

    So I t recommend buying 800 Mhz modules. First of all, they are not supported and secondly it s waste of money!

    Hello Murat

    Problem is that you can't find your model of laptop (Satellite A100 - 912 (PSAA9E)) on the Toshiba US Download pages and only you should use is Toshiba Europe page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/

    American books have different model description as the European specifications. I checked your other job offers, and I assume you are trying to find the Vista drivers. Am I wrong?

  • Satellite A100-912 has a few screen problems

    Hello

    I have the Satellite A100-912 with WXP and up to today, there is no problem.

    I don't know what happened, but a few hours ago, screen started flashing and colors have been mixed.
    I tried to install the new drivers, but it did not help so I hope that someone here could tell me if I can fix it somehow or its some hw question...

    Thank you

    Hello

    It is very important to know if this problem is caused by faulty material or because of software. To be 100% sure I recommend you to use a few methods.

    First try to connect the external monitor to your laptop and please check if the same thing happen on the external monitor. If so the reason may be the faulty graphics card. Otherwise, you can also install OS using recovery delivered DVDs. After doing this you will have factory again and the good drivers will be installed. If the problem persists, it may really be due to faulty hardware (graphics card or screen).

    Sorry, but it's really not easy to say with certainty what the problem is here. Please do not wait too long and if the guarantee is valid that the technicians check your laptop. The warranty will cover all repair costs.

    Good luck!

    And if there is how enable or install it?

    If it is not what is this opening next to the volume control?

    I wonder why you take n t a glance in the user manual?
    These details and s information should always be mentioned in the user manual!

  • Satellite A100 - 003 PSAARE - information necessary Ram upgrade

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A100-003 (PSAARE) with 32-bit Vista installed and 2 GB of RAM (1024 + 1024 DDR2 533 MHz).
    I was wondering if it is possible to change the 1 RAM (1024MB) with this RAM: 2 GB DDR2 667 MHz?
    Support page says that this laptop supports up to 4 GB of RAM total.

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello

    Generally this information in the user manual it s always mentioned in the manual that is preinstalled on your laptop.

    I downloaded the manual on the Toshiba page and found this:
    Slots _Memory: _
    + PC4200 256 MB or 512 MB or 1024 MB modules of memory can be installed in the locations of two memory for a max memory 2048 MB system. +

    _Memory expansion; _
    Only the memory modules with the number of following parts can be installed:
    256 MB PA338QU - 1 M 25
    512 MB PA3412U - 1 M 51
    1 GB-PA3411U-1M1G

    By the way; the 32 bit OS Vista won't recognize the 4 GB of RAM due to the limitation of the 32-bit operating system. The 32-bit OS can handle max 3.2 GB.

  • Satellite A100-159: expansion of memory RAM problem

    Hello

    I have a satellite A100-159. I want to increase the RAM to 2 GB. I checked the type of memory that is supported by the laptop and ordered two modules PC4200 DDR2 SO-DIMM 1 GB of the brand 'Buffalo '. I have after installing the memory and the laptop starts fine (and detects the 2 GB of RAM). However, Windows XP always freezes after login. I reinstalled the original modules and everything works well again.

    After that, I installed both modules in other non-Toshiba laptop and here they work perfectly. I know that Toshiba recommends using some partnumbers, but if the modules work fine in another laptop computer why it does not work in the A100?

    Recommended modules are almost two times more expensive. If Toshiba wants to make money by forcing people to buy expensive pieces, I will never buy a Toshiba again...

    Secondly, is it possible to use DDR2 SO - DIMM 667 modules (these are less expensive than 533 modules)?

    Kind regards
    Martijn

    Hello

    > is it possible to use DDR2 SO - DIMM 667 modules (these are less expensive than 533 modules)

    Yes, it should be possible to use the modules of 667 MHz, but generally, they should be more expensive than 533 MHz modules. Of course, modules WITHOUT name are always less expensive than brand Kingston or Toshiba memory modules.

    > Recommended modules are almost two times more expensive. If Toshiba wants to make money by forcing
    > people to buy expensive pieces I will never buy a Toshiba again.

    Don t think that they will be forcing anyone to buy expensive parts. but as already said, the brand modules cost more expensive form of low quality modules. The performance of these modules is poor. If you want you can read some computer magazines and find the tests.
    They compare the performance of simple modules. So for me it makes no sense to buy a module without name of 667 MHz because for most a brand module 533 MHz is faster and better as module 667 MHz without a name.

    I use Kingston modules in my laptop satellite and I'm happy.
    Found this site with compatible memory modules for your laptop:

  • Satellite A100-011 with Vista: DVD-ram UJ-850 s can not burn DVDs dual layer

    Hello

    cannot find answers to my problem, so start a new topic.
    Having Satellite A100-011 with Vista preinstalled and Mat * a DVD - RAM UJ-850 s (firmware 1.10).

    Recently installed Nero 7.5.9 and you want to burn DVD (6, 5 GB) media dual layer (Immation - Ritek).

    First time Nero stopped with information: could not perform start of Disc At Once (without damaging the media).
    After that, run Nero as Windows XP - SP2 program and burn half the disc (first layer), but when to start to burn the second layer (I guess), stop once again with the same error information (could not perform start of DAO).

    Simple disc burning layer without problem.

    Anyone any idea how to solve this problem?
    Thank you
    Luci

    Hello

    tried to record double-layer of a different brand? Maybe you should try it, because sometimes certain brands are not really taken in charge or not very well. And check the toshiba (or google) pilot site for new drivers or firmware for this drive, sometimes that it really helps.

    I think that the media are not really compatible, I ve read some similar problems in the roxio forum and they solved by using another brand.

    Would be nice if you give some information on this case... :)

  • Satellite A100-998 - support 2 GB RAM modules?

    Hello

    I'm looking to upgrade the memory of my laptop. The vehicle currently have 2x1GB modules in the expansion slots. The manual says it takes PC4200 200 pin memory, but does not specify if it will accept 2 GB sticks as this http://www.ebuyer.com/product/164911. It does not mention of the sticks of 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB.

    However, I see no reason why he would not support the higher capacity, if I wanted to move to 4-GB memory total. Can someone confirm that this will work? Thank you!

    Andrew

    Hi André,.

    According to the specs on the page of Toshiba, Satellite A100-998 supports 2-GB memory modules. This means that you can install the 2 GB of memory in each memory slot for a maximum capacity of 4 GB.

    For example, I recommend high-quality Kingston modules. I always buy Kingston modules for upgrade and never had any problems.

  • Satellite A100-912: Vista Capable isn't looks really capable?

    Hi all

    My laptop is A100 - 912 Vista Capable. I work for a company of development of software as a programmer in Turkey. The company is a Microsoft Certified Partner and we got the offical vista dvd. I installed on A100-912 and activated via the internet. Everything was ok then that of installation. However, I had some problems on pilot.

    1. Although it is nvidia geforce go 7600GT - 7600GS - 7600LE, there is no 7600 for vista display driver.
    2. it is not pure clean of the web page in the Toshiba Web Site to download the drivers for A100-912.

  • Update of a Satellite A100-692 with an another RAM or CPU?

    Hello

    can I use 667 MHZ ram in my a100-692 and he'll run at 667 MHZ or slow 533?

    And can I upgrade my cpu (duo core 1.66 ghz) core 2 duo or core 2quad?

    You can use 667 Mhz in your machine, but it will not work on 667 Mhz, because the FSB is running with only 533 Mhz since these models are just call 533 Mhz due to problems of mobile (powersaving, heat generation, etc)

    And no, you can't spend your CPU because the Bios does not support it, also the cooling system of your machine is specially designed for a couple of CPU´s that were shipped only with the model of your laptop computer.

    Furthermore, if you really swap the CPU, you will lose your warranty.
