Hey there, sorry if this has been asked before, but my search led nowhere.

Currently I have a

-Intel Dual Core 6400 @ 2 GHz T
-4 GB OF RAM
-ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650

I wish * switch to Win7 * (hoping less of pain)

Q:

-Would it be * possible * to Win7 * 64-bit *?
-It would give me some * advantage * on the * 32-bit *?

Your help is greatly appreciated, thank you to spend time to read and answer

Hello

I installed Windows 7 on my Satellite A300-1LI and can confirm that everything works perfectly. I am very satisfied and it works really well. I use it for 6 months now and so far, I don't notice any problems or a strange question.

I did the clean install of Windows 7 and not an update.
If you need assistance with installing Win7 let me know.

I don't know which version you want to use now, but if you use 32 bit, you cannot upgrade to 64-bit. It must be a clean install.
Advantage? I don't test it on my satellite with 64 bit but theoretically OS must use more material resources, but it may happen that several software you are using is not designed for the 64 bit OS.

    Hello

    Please read here http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=13

    As you can see, Cpu and Gpu upgrade is not a good idea. Even if your motherboard can handle it but the Bios is not pre-tested for her. In any case, you must contact the Asp (SAV), they can tell exactly whether it is supported or not.

  • Satellite A300: upgrading the graphics card question

    HI :)

    I am a new user of portable computers...
    Like nvidia geforce graphics cards can be installed in my Sat A300? extent to which max mem I can install?

    No, the graphics card can not be upgraded.
    In most cases (with the exception of the MXM module) the GPU is soldered on the motherboard and I don t think you could remove it.
    But even if you were able to remove the chip, you won't find any GPU that would be compatible with laptops card mother and BIOS.

    So in my opinion don't forget this upgrade

    I have satellite A300 too and use it with Win7 32 bit. Everything works perfectly. It is very important to install all the drivers, tools and utilities, following the right installation order, so here is the list how I did it:

    Satellite A300 (PSAG8E) and clean Win7

    -Win7 (original Microsoft installation disc)
    -chipset driver
    -Storage Manager
    -display driver
    -driver sound

    -utility supervisor
    -infrared
    -patches
    -configfree
    -VAP
    Hardware - toshiba
    Control - HDMI
    -WLAN driver

    Everything works well but lacks some drivers

    Added Vista tips:
    Toshiba - help - working properly
    -Card reader - installed correctly
    -Webcam driver for A500 - tested with Skype - works correctly.
    Driver - Synaptics

    Win7 works well and I am very satisfied.

    Does the Toshiba Satellite A300-23F of windows 7 64 bit support?

  • Satellite A300 and Windows 7

    Hi all. First of all I am sorry for my bad English - I to little practice.

    Can I transfer my win Vista sp2 (x 32) to Win7 (x 32) on my laptop Satellite A300-1QF (?) PSAGCE-06F00JRU)?
    Is there any trouble with drivers/devices/something else? If it is, are there ways to avoid?
    I hate vista (((want to try vin7)))

    Thanks for the help!

    Hello

    At first, I must say that I don't know what you mean under transfer.
    I have Satellite A300 and dual boot with Windows XP Home edition and Win7 so I can say that Satellite A300 works perfectly with Win7, much better then Vista.

    What you can do is:
    # To upgrade Vista preinstalled for Win7 (the two 32-bit) or
    # Install Win7 using Microsoft installation disc. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities must be installed Additionally one by one. Each of them you can find and download from Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads.

  • Satellite A300 - 15 d: good for games?

    Hello
    I'm about to buy Satellite A300 - 15 d, and my question is:
    Is there someone at - it tested about this laptop with latest games?

    Since he gets some nice hardware (on paper), so I am abit frustrated if it runs smoothly to new games, or it to freeze or restart every 5 min. because of overheating problems.

    I can't find a good review of this book, so please if there is someone who has tested A300 - 15A with games like Crysis and Age of Conan, please can you me if this machine is stable for the games or not!

    Thanks in advance

    P.S. - Very very sorry for my bad English! : P

    Hello!

    First of all, I want to tell you, that I do not own this piece of hardware, but I would like to discuss some points with you, which can help you, I hope.

    To be honest, I don't think you'll be happy playing the high end like Crysis on this machine games. As I play this game too, I can tell, it's a killer of real hardware and even on my very good desktop PC it does not also smooth I wanted he would run.

    I don't like online RPG like Age of Conan or World of Warcraft, so have not checked this hardware configuration recommended, but everything I read it too has some powerful hardware.

    Not knowing does not, if you want to play your game with all the detail on a high and maximum or simply resolution settings happy that if games are playable, I don't know if this is the right machine for you.

    Have you already checked other series like Qosmio? Looked to me like a beautiful piece of hardware but did not have one or let me know better.

  • Re: Two questions on Satellite A300 and Win7 32 bit

    Hello

    I have a satellite A300 PSAJ4E windows 7 32 bit.
    I installed all the drivers to Toshiba support, but I have 2 problems.
    the first is that sometimes my screan does not open while the laptop is open and functioning. I know that his work because when I plug another screen his everything is ok.
    the other problem is that I have an unknown device (ACPI\TOS6205)

    Can someone help me?

    Thank you

    > the first is that sometimes my screan does not open while the laptop is open and functioning properly
    It is still problematic to discuss problems that sometimes occur. When this happens you can see Toshiba welcome screen or hear sounds of windows?
    > another DIF, is that I have an unknown device (ACPI\TOS6205)
    I think that you need to install the bluetooth drivers.

    Hmmmm... really strange. I use Win7 32 bit on my Satellite A300-1LI and it works perfectly.
    Maybe a stupid question now, but have you tried to use the 32 bit version?

    You have also installed all the Toshiba drivers Toshiba value added package (includes the Toshiba power saver tool)?

  • Satellite A300 (PSAG8E) - hardware problems after I installed win7 ultimate

    Hello and good day,

    I installed win7 ultimate a few days ago, windows was able to recognize most of my material accepts my build of microphone and camera and another component, I'm not sure what it is (Windows Update automatically downloaded the driver of sound and graphics for me).

    My questions are - where you can find the remaining drivers and where can I get the preinstalled Toshiba tools and software? (The site pilot in the support page Toshiba does not include drivers and software)

    Thank you very much
    King Ben Simon

    Hello

    I have the Satellite A300 (PSAG8E) too and installed Win7 Home premium and everything works perfectly.

    Initially, I must say that I do not know where you are looking for the drivers and tools of Toshiba and that all things because utilities are downloadable on support Toshiba & download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com

    It is logical that MIC will not work if you have not installed the appropriate driver. Installing drivers only and not using Microsoft update. What you need are the real and tested and not some free drivers of the internet.

    Go to the Toshiba download page and install all the stuff following this order of installations:
    -Win7
    -chipset driver
    -Storage Manager
    -display driver
    -driver sound
    -modem driver
    -utility supervisor
    -infrared
    -patches
    -configfree
    -VAP
    Hardware - toshiba
    Control - HDMI
    -WLAN driver

    Everything works well but lacks some drivers

    Toshiba - help - working properly
    -Card reader - installed correctly

  • Display problem on Satellite A300 after Win7 upgrade

    Hello everyone,

    I just did an upgrade to my Satellite A300 for Windows 7 32. I booted up my laptop and everything was fine, but after I have write my username and password and open a session on my screen becomes black.
    I hear it works, but I can't see anything.

    When I used safe mode it worked fine. I checked the display of information and it says unknown
    I downloaded the latest drivers for the ATI card on the Toshiba site, but when I install it, it says driver not detected because I think that I'm in safe mode and it is not connected and I can't install it in normal mode because I don't see anything

    What should I do?

    Help, please

    Hello

    It is not easy to say what the problem is here. I have too many Satellite A300 and since last week, I use Win7 too.
    On my laptop, everything works perfectly.
    I also found the small group of Toshiba on Facebook and a guy he describes how to install Win7 on Satellite A300. If you are on Facebook you can check it out HERE.

    I recommend you to install Win7 after facilities command posted here.

  • Questions on on Satellite A300 HARD drive partitions

    Hello

    I would like to install a new OS (new operating system: Windows 7, old OS: Vista Edition Home Premium) on my laptop (Toshiba Satellite A300-237) to repartition the whole HARD drive. I see a non-standard partition, its size is of ~ 1 GB, can I delete this partition?

    What information contains this partition?
    I did the recovery previously by Toshiba HDD Recovery disks. Guess when I delete any partition and put in place and installation of the discs, will recover the initial state (including the hidden partition)?

    Thank you

    If you want to install your own Win7 version delete all existing partitions and then create a C partition for the installation of the OS.
    I guess you write over WinRE partition and it is about 1.5 GB.

    I installed Win7 ultimate 32 bit on my Satellite A300 and it works perfectly.
    If you need assistance with installing Win7 let me know.

  • Re: Can foreign supply in question on my Satellite A300

    Hi all

    I have a problem with my satellite A300, which is difficult to explain, and I have not found this problem anywhere elsewhere in the forums. I'm not a computer expert and I will try to explain the problem.

    When the battery is fully charged and I turn on the laptop, I can use the laptop for 5 minutes and I get a warning to reconnect. When I plug in, the system crashes. Nothing don't move or nothing happens. Press and hold the power for a few seconds and the system is off. I reload and restart once again and I play video sopcast or request some other videos and then plug-in system, it works fine. Once again I can use the system unplugged for just a few minutes, if I plug it crashes.

    If you play sopcast, plugin, it works.
    If I start the system in safe mode, it starts very well and I can use the system as long as I want. Even though I have the plugin in safe mode, it works fine.
    I checked with some experts and they say that the graphics card has disappeared. Some say that it could be a virus. Some say that it is a problem with the battery and charger.

    Please help me. I am writing my thesis today, and all my data is in this system.

    Thank you
