Re: Satellite P100-160 (PSPAAE) - support 4 GB of RAM?

Hey guys,.

I was wondering if there was any way I could v4.70 BIOS to support 4 GB of RAM? I am running Slackware 13 x86_64 and still not get my installation to reveal the true amount of RAM installed. It displays all of the RAM in BIOS. Here is the output of/proc/meminfo...

As you can see the BIOS, see the two sticks of 2 GB, but it also shows that the BIOS supports only 3 GB of RAM? Would it not possible to Flash my motherboard with the firmware of another model of laptop computer? Or is there a BIOS update in the near future that will allow me to make use of my full 4 GB of RAM?

Hello

Normally, the Satellite P100-160 supports 4 GB of RAM. If you check the user manual, you can find this information it can be upgraded to 4 GB of RAM with two 2 GB memory modules.

Just a question: how much will be shown in the BIOS directly? He acknowledges the full 4 GB of RAM?

And don t forget you can only use 4 GB of RAM with a 64 bit OS. If you use 32-bit OS, you can only use up to 3.2 GB of RAM.
Have you installed Linux 64-bit version?

    I suggest the following: recover your machine and update tools and drivers again. I don't know if McAfee is the cause of your problem, but if a system is broken on the software side, then, among the most popular and useful actions is to restore the system, and then being happy when it works again.

  • Satellite P100-160 (PSPAAE-01D00UEN) - upgrade processor

    I currently have a Satellite P100-160 part number: PSPAAE-01D00UEN. Is it possible to upgrade the processor in this machine, I find it very slow in the graphics work I do.

    Any other suggestions as to speed up the machine would be greatly received.

    Thank you

    Ian

    Hi IanGreen,

    A CPU upgrade is not possible, or let s say not supported. All that is supported is the preinstalled Toshiba CPU. If you want another CPU, sometimes at your own risk. Probably the motherboard, BIOS or chipset is not able to handle this or the cooling module is not good enough for faster CPU

    Anyway, your laptop is not the most recent, and if you need more performance, you should look for a new model ;)

  • Satellite P100 - 160 PSPAAE: Question on the driver installation instructions

    Hello.

    I recently bought a P100-160 model PSPAAE with Vista pre-installed. Like many others, I had no choice with the OS and my experience so far has left me wanting to go back to XP.

    I found the page of appropriate support for the drivers (I guess I have to use the drivers for the PSPAA) and read the instruction sheet that comes with them. There are some questions I want answered before I start on this particular cliff.

    The guidelines mention the SD card Format utility, but I see no mention of one in the list of drivers. It is included in one of the other drivers or is it not found elsewhere?

    Why the Sun Java Runtime Environment is necessary?

    I guess if my machine has no Bluetooth or Infra-red that I didn't need to load the drivers.

    Thanks in advance if anyone is able to help.

    Kind regards

    John

    Hi John, I recently went through the same process and after a few attempts, settled on the following as a reasonable XP installation (I don't need all that other stuff):

    Satellite Pro P100 (PSPAEA)

    Chipset: Mobile Intel (r) 945 PM Express Chipset
    Memory controller: 82945 PM
    I/o Controller: Intel (r) 82801GBM i/o controller hub (ICH7M)

    What I installed...

    03 - display Driver
    04 chipset Driver
    05 - network - upgrade Ethernet driver
    06 - network wireless driver
    09 - sound Driver
    10 - driver CardBus controller with UltraMedia
    12 - modem Driver
    13 - modem region Select utility
    14 Bluetooth Stack
    15 - Bluetooth monitor
    17 Hotkey Utility
    21 - SD Secure Module
    22 - SD memory card format
    28. DVD-RAM driver software
    33 user manual
    TOSHIBA fingerprint digital-software (from Vista drivers)
    TOSHIBA-disk-Creater (from Vista drivers)

    What I do not installed...

    01 - Microsoft Updates (I used Windows Update to do this)
    02. Sun Java Runtime Environment
    07. customer Intel utility
    08 Atheros Client Utility
    11 - touch pad Driver
    16 - C - infrared driver

    27 CD/DVD Drive Acoustic Silencer
    29 WinDVD Creator
    30 - RecordNow
    31 DLA
    32 - DVD player

    Note: for 05 - pilot network to install correctly, I had to upgrade the Device Manager ethernet controller.

    The numbers relate to roughly the original installation instructions. I do not pretend that it's the perfect installation, only one who appears to be stable and suitable for my purposes...

    With respect to the SD memory card Format driver, I found it somewhere, but I don't remember where (sorry). It has the following file name, even if once extracted (ToshibaSDMemoryCardFormat_v2100A.exe).

    Hope this helps and please post your results as it is good to share their experiences.

  • Satellite P100 - 160 PSPAAE - recovery disk does not work

    Hello

    My problem is that when I used the restore disk provided with the laptop it froze the computer when he was to "expand our files (0%). »
    I thought that drive was defective, so bought a new drive of Toshiba (£30) but get the same error.
    Machine is now starts rained because the recovery disks erased the hard drive before freezing.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    Hello

    To be honest, this is the first time I see this error
    I doubt that the recovery disk is defective or the drive HARD because as you say it was possible to install Win XP on this laptop

    I would recommend formatting the HARD drive again to erase all partitions and format the HARD drive using the Win XP disc. Then take the recovery disk and try to reinstall the new Vista operating system

  • Satellite P100 - 160 (PSPAAE) - conflict of resources on how to start message

    For awhile, I had severe performance with this laptop problems. It takes 20 minutes to turn on.

    When he started gives 3 messages in the startup routine:
    ERROR: Conflict of resources-controller BUS series PCI on the motherboard. Bus: 0a, device: 04, function: 01
    ERROR: Conflict of resources-on the motherboard PCI mass storage controller. Bus: 0a, device: 04, function: 02
    ERROR: Conflict of resources-PCI on the motherboard. Bus: 0a, device: 04, function: 03

    Press F1 to resume F2 to Setup

    I tried the re-installation of the recovery disk, formatting the hard drive and all from scratch. I also updated the BIOS
    The end result seems to be that the startup still takes time, with the same messages, but once started the performance is improved.

    These devices appear in device and the warnings of problem management.

    Any thoughts on how to solve it please

    Help please

    Hello!

    It looks like there's something wrong BIOS or maybe hardware

    Have you also tried to reset the BIOS to default settings?

    I think that the recovery disc can t solve this problem because it appears after the current load to run BIOS. This means that in the worst case you have to go to an ASP and ask a technician for help.

  • Re: Satellite P100-160 - failed display driver installation

    Satellite P100-160, PSPAAE, 32-bit vista.

    Today, Aero is not working and not available in graphics properties. Later installed the site of Toshiba UK, 15.0.1.1114 Intel display driver. This version was actually older than my current driver but I thought that maybe she was the only availabel that it must be correct.

    The driver installation failed with an error (no details don't just "year error has occurred"). Now, I don't have aero and my screen resolution cannot be set above 1280 x 800 - 1440 x 900 is expected

    To say that I'm pisseed would be an understatement. Can anyone help? Thank you

    Hey,.

    If Aero is not available I think that it s display driver problem

    In any case, did you remove the old display driver before installing a new? Go to Device Manager > right click on the graphics card > uninstall. After the restart the display driver must be uninstalled and you can start with the display driver installation.

    If you install drivers make sure you are logged in as administrator and antivirus/firewall is disabled. Reboot once again and you should be able to choose the native screen resolution now.

    Hello

    I think that you need to access the BIOS (press F2 when the laptop starts up) and put its default value.
    Then try to start the Vista again and press F8.
    Then you will get a menu of advanced start it you should choose repair computer.
    Vista supports a clean internal repair option, you should try this and must repair the operating system.
