Satellite A105-S2194 acknowledges that half of the installed RAM.

Hello

I have a Satellite A105-S2194 I bought in January 2007 from Walmart. It came with a single stick of PC - 4200 512 MB of RAM. Later this year, I bought a 1 GB of RAM PC-4200 (Crucial memory) key, so it has been read 1.5 G since then. Last week, I bought another stick of 1 GB of RAM (Kingston), which is PC-5300. Today, I installed the second stick, and when I started, it shows only 1 GB of memory in the BIOS and Ubuntu.

If I take one of the sticks out (any), then it also shows 1 GB. This isn't a case of the PC-5300 is not not retro-compatible.

Then I have three questions.

1 is actually able to give me 2 (as advertised in different memory online configurators) GB the laptop?
2. the fact that I mix PC-4200 and PC-5300 the reason why it does not show 2 GB now?
3. If it's the fact that I mix speeds, should I buy another PC-4200 (which was originally installed) or another PC-5300 (I'm leaning toward the 5300, since that would mean only two brand new sticks as opposed to one that is 4 years old and a brand new).

Thanks, and have a great day :)
Patrick.

In your case the problem is compatibility.

Please visit THIS page and clck on detailed specifications. You will find all necessary information on your laptop and also part of the compatible memory modules number al.

My answers to your questions:
# Yes.
# Probably
# Use two modules with the same specifications. (PC-4200)

  • Re: Satellite A105-S2194 a audio driver missing or corrupt

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A105-S2194 that somehow lost its audio driver. He worked week last and then this week his party.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled as the help and support on the computer Center said to do, but to no avail.

    I have also re-uploaded the driver on the Toshiba site and he says always "No. Audio Driver" or pop up this error message "Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) ».

    I have no idea why I can't get the sound to work.
    It says downloading, but when I go back it shows an error.

    Anyone with a few useful insite would be much appreciated.

    Thanks in advance :)

    Hello

    I don't have any idea of what windows operating system you have, but it is a series of Toshiba laptops, we and the necessary drivers are located on the Toshiba U.S. page.
    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp

    Here you can download the latest version of the driver.

    In addition, I recommend the deletion of the soundcard from the Device Manager and restart the laptop. If the audio driver has previously been installed correctly then the Windows operating system should recognize the sound card again and the sound should work.

    PS: If you are using Win XP then you need to install SP3 * _avant_ * you need to install the sound card driver

  • computer laptop dv6-612tx of hppavilion: size of the installed ram

    I am Agnes... .i am using a computer hp pavilion dv6-612tx laptop... I have a size of ram of 4 GB of origin with the product... but today, recently I gave the lappy to a store aimed a cleaning after I got my lappy when I see the system information in my computer that I could see that the installed ram is 2.45 only...? My question is will show 4 GB ram ram of 4 GB installed or 2.45 only? Please tell me quickly

    Hello @Hemanth17,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I read your post about the size of the memory installed showing incorrectly on your dv6612tx Pavilion laptop and wanted to reach out to you.

    At the right amount showing before you had the system cleaned? What's the memory installed value that is incorrect or available memory?

    If the system displays 4GB but 2.54 GB usable, the system recognizes that the memory is installed, but retains little memory for the physical operations.

    It is possible that the maximum memory is enabled. To change this, you need to go into the System Setup and check the Advanced tab startup options.

    You can also try the tests for a hardware problem or remove and reinstall the memory using the procedure described in the Service Manual (page 53) If you feel that there is a problem of physics with the memory.

    Please let me know how it goes. If this helps you to find a solution, please click on the button accept as Solution down below in this message.

  • Satellite A200 - "findfirstchangenotification" message that appears at the beginning upward

    Hello!

    I have the Satellite A200 with XP on it. I finally removed VIsta and now whenever I start the laptop appears this message: findfirstchangenotification.

    Hello

    It is not easy to say what the problem is, but I imagine that some files are missing, but necessary to the application that starts with the operating system.

    What you can try is to start your computer in SafeMode (F8) to see if the same message. Otherwise start your laptop on a regular route and go to MSCONFIG and check list of registered applications automatically implemented. Try to disable some of them and watch carefully what happens.

  • Satellite L30 - 11 d is not recognizing the full RAM

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L30 - 11 d, as shown in the subject. I had the laptop for a year before, I decided to move the ram to 2 GB. In 2008, I bought a RAM 1 GB DDR2 5300 AENEON chip and another microphone technology DDR2 5300 s 1 GB RAM chip.

    These two circuits are compatible with my laptop. These two circuits work in the two slots of RAM and CPU - Z can confirm that there is 2 GB of memory in my laptop. However, Vista was unable to register for 2 GB, instead it sees only 896 MB of RAM. After a few months of frustration, I decided to downgrade to Windows XP Professional to see if she could remedy the situation and allow my life become a little more smooth. However, the same question is still involved.

    Literally 10 minutes ago, I confirmed that these two circuits operate in the two slots of RAM and CPU - Z can confirm that there is 2 GB of Ram in my laptop. BIOS, graphics and all other drivers I can enter on the Toshiba site has been installed and it's really just leaving me completely stumped. If someone has any ideas as to what could be the problem, it would be highly appreciated.

    Thank you for your time,

    Ash.

    It's very strange
    Also the shape of most recent BIOS, from Toshiba Web site is installed did you say?

    Have you tried to use two modules of the same production? I think it is the reason for this. Notepad starts with the two modules, ok, but I think that must be the reason for this. In your case I would test it with two modules of the same production.

    In addition, the video RAM is shared with the RAM. Then don t forget you can use 2 GB only for main memory.

    Sorry, but at the moment I can say s.

  • Satellite L30 10Y does not start with the new RAM modules

    Hello
    regged just with this forum I have a problem to upgrade memory.

    I read through a few problems of memory here and all users that it is a problem of memory comaptible. I got Hynix 512 MB RAM in my laptop and I bought 2 x 1 GB memory Hynix these two are match sticks to the installed memory, but when I installed my laptop wouldn't boot at all. It would only boot if I had a stick in both.

    I tried to switch ports top and btm and even when a stick was installed it says in XP, Vista and Windows 7 (yes I tried all systems) 896 MB of available space. I even tried to use my other Hynix stick, but he won't start and showed more stick of 1 GB (896 MB usable in Windows 7). After reading all the threads I wonder if it is a hardware failure or is there a fix in the world of Toshiba or perhaps in the world of Toshiba, the L series is almost obsolete and not worth to help people who unwittingly bought their goods.

    I apologize for being slightly down on Toshiba but a laptop that shows what he can work and is not a company should hold his hand up and say that Yes, there is a fault and help deal with the problem.

    You see 896 MB, because the rest is reserved for VRAM for graphics card.

    Sometimes RAM may simply be incompatible, because of incompatibilities of calendar or RAM chip/controller design differences.

    What speed and timings is your original RAM?
    PCxxxx / DDRxxx =
    Schedules CASES/RAS =.

    What speed and timings is your new RAM?

  • Satellite A105-4094 display - only half screen problem

    So my screen is showing half, it is a compressed version of the full screen.
    The right of the screen is turned on, but all black and just after the point halfway on the left side is a bunch of image then a strip of black before you see the compressed image.

    The output works very well for an external. I know that this is not the video card. I reinstalled the Bios updated, and I tried to use powerstrip.
    I'm sure it's a software problem as in system devices that my screen appears as flat digital display with a maximum of 1024 x 768 resolution, but the native is 1200 x 800 and it used to describe something else as internal computer monitor toshiba laptop.

    No driver hasn't solved the problem and I can't find a similar problem anywhere!
    Anyone has any ideas of what this could be?

    He used to do this and a restart would fix it sometimes, but now it's just stuck like that.
    If you need photos, I take screen shots later, but I have no available right now...

    You have an Intel graphics card?

    If so, go to the control panel and access the Intel Graphics Manager.

    Here you have to select the display settings and try to put it in full screen (without borders)

    If the problem is related to the software then this accelerated procedure should help you.

    But the problem could be related to a hardware problem too

    In this case he needed a help of ASP.

  • Satellite A105-S2021: Sound had disappeared after the installation of Norton Antivirus

    Hi, I have an A105-S2021 and the sound was working fine, then yesterday I installed Norton antivirus, and now his fate quietly, it is impossible to hear, even with external speakers.

    Any suggestions?

    Hello

    I never heard that the antivirus software has a bad influence on the sound, speakers or the audio driver.
    What you can do is to check the Device Manager if there is some yellow exclamation points.
    Also try reinstalling the audio driver. See the page of the Toshiba driver.

    what someone of nowhere leaving to do this please

    Jay

    Hello

    As much as I know the of A40 Satellite Pro supports the Intel 852GME shared memory graphic card.
    S control Intel cards automatically memory allocation.

    This means that if the graphic card must more 16 MB of memory, the graphics driver will share the part of main memory!
    The whole process runs automatically and you do not need to change anything!

  • HP Envy H8-1549: computer doesn't recognize only half of the new Ram

    Hi all.

    I took a set of ram Ripjaws X 32 gig (4 x 8).  When I install all four chips, only half of them are recognized by the Bios. If I remove two, both of which have not been recognized are visible and working in the same locations they were. It all works, but not all.

    Current configuration: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03666767

    RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231569

    Everything I read on my motherboard and ram has indicated that it is compatible. I updated the Bios and erased the CMS.  I'm a bit of a loss. Am I missing something fundamental?

    What is a tension problem? If so, how can I send it?

    RAM is usually such an easy upgrade. Not so much this time, it seems to me.
