Satellite A660 - 11 M: does not start with 8 GB of RAM, but works with 6 GB

Satellite A660 - 11 M:

I upgraded my RAM to 4 GB (2x2gb) up to 8 GB (2x4gb). When I start the computer I can see in the BIOS it reads 8 GB of RAM. However, when starting, it does not go beyond the white screen BACK (just before Windows starts).

If I delete one of the 4 GB & replace it with a 2 GB (so I have 6 GB total) it starts ok.

Anyone know how I can get it to work with 8 GB of RAM?

Hey,.

To be honest, I've never heard of RAM SanMax modules...
In my opinion the problem is related to your RAM modules is not compatible to your laptop or defective.

You can test it with high-quality Kingston or prétestées authorized service modules?

  • Satellite A200 - support Button does not start when windows starts

    Hey,.

    Today, I decided to disable unnecessary programs as many as I could (to speed up my pc), so I went to Msconfig (I have vista home premium 32-bit) and a lot of things off. Including the "toshiba button support. The next time I restarted my additional buttons on the top of the keyboard all worked, next to one. Who normally turn on windows media player. This time, he did nothing at all. Game/resume, stop, forward, back and button internet all worked without problem.
    However, I really liked the WMP button, so I tried to find out what the problem was. I discovered that it was the support of the key, so I decided to reactivate it.

    However, this didn't not help: (.) I turned it in msconfig, but it does not start with windows more: (.) I know this is the program that I need, because when I run the program manually (this is the program: programfiles/toshiba/TBS/HSON.exe) the button works.
    I put a V in front of the msconfig program, but it does not work. Anyone has an idea why not?

    Edit: I found a solution, even if not the best. If anyone still has the same problem:
    I made a shortcut for the program to run (can be found in C:programfiles/toshiba/SCT and is called HSON.exe). Then I clicked start and said 'all programs', here I chose the "opstarten" folder, it comes to the Dutch version, but my guess is it's called something like 'start-up' in English. In this regard, I glued (copy / cut-> paste) the shortcut to the program, and now he begins again :)

    Hello!

    I agree with Akuma. You should try to reinstall the Toshiba value added Package. This determines media keys FN and all special functions on the laptop buttons.

  • Tecra A6 does not start with battery only

    Hi all
    I'm having a strange problem with a Tecra A6 I picked up recently at the refurb because it does not start with a battery only: it starts only when / sector is also connected, but eventually DΘmarrer on battery alone (and works fine) with the power cord removed shortly after pressing the power button. It's just on battery alone, I get no answer by pressing the power on button (so the power outlet must be set at this first stage or I don't get anything).

    Now I'm wondering if maybe it's the battery voltage? It seems that there are 2 options for this model, a 10.8 v and the other at 11.1V. With loaded Windows and Hardware Monitor reports running the battery is at 0% wear level and cool until completely (so I don't think that the battery is faulty), but it indicates that the battery is running at * 11, 1V, * but the battery installed is actually the * model 10.8v*. Could that prevent any power on only to batteries?

    More information on the model I have:
    Tecra A6-PTA60E-0EJ013EN
    CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 2.0 Ghz
    2 GB of Ram.

    Thanks in advance for any help on this one. Essential, I would like to know is if I have a 11.1V battery to run this model correctly (and get it) on battery alone. If the voltage makes no difference so I guess it must be a weird motherboard problem and I need bother not buy a new battery.

    > Will have to buy another battery and see if the same thing happens (I'll know then if it is the motherboard), but in the meantime if anyone can let me know if the voltage is serious I would appreciate it.

    To my knowledge, the batteries for Tecra A6 should take in charge 10.8V
    There's piles more strong for example 5200mAh but the voltage must be the same 10.8

  • Satellite Pro L50 does not start with 8 GB

    I have a brand new L50 Pro of Satellite (PSKK3A-001001)

    Config of RAM is default of 1 x 4 GB memory DDR3 12800 1 use slot 1 slot free
    I removed 4GB and install 1 DDR3L 12800 8 GB but it does not start.
    The form of State capacity 16 GB so with 2 slots logically, that means 2 x 8 GB cards.
    He also said DDRL, which I assume is the correct type.

    The 4 GB mark was Hynix and the 8 GB is Apacer.
    Anyone have a resolution on this or know what the problem is?

    On this forum you can find many threads where people describe similar problems. In most cases the problem is compatibility modules, especially if Ram needs to be upgraded with modules produced by different manufacturers.

    According to the specifications of the laptop you need DDR3L memory (1600 Mhz).
    Talk with your dealer and ask if there's Kingston compatibility module. Kingston offers high quality and 100% compatible memory modules.

  • Satellite Pro 460 does not start with the new drive in

    I recently received a Satellite Pro 460, but he had no hard drive.
    It starts great without a disc in but as soon as I put a new hard drive in it does not start.

    I thought that it might be again a hard drive, so I pulled out my old Toshiba Satellite with my old drive to work, and yet, it does not start.

    Someone has any ideas why this is and what I can do about it

    I think that you can not do much. Satellite pro 460 CDT, for example, comes with 2 GB of HARD drive. If you try to get it work with similar HDD without success, it may be defective IDE port on the motherboard.

    What HARD drive you are trying to use on this good old classic?

  • Satellite A30 does not start with the USB device connected at boot time

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A30 and sometimes it does not start.
    After turning on, not even the BIOS starts.
    even if sometimes the BIOS starts, but the OS does not load.

    I figured out that its related to USB devices connected at boot time.
    If no USB devices are connected, it starts without a problem.
    Even if the start-up is suspended, as soon as you unplug start it BIOS USB devices.
    Its ok to connect USB devices later, once the system has started.
    I disabled "removable devices boot" and "network startup."
    just in case, but it makes no difference.

    BIOS is version the most recent (1.70) and it comes up with all kinds of USB devices.
    printer, mouse and (self-powered) external USB hard disk.

    Is this a known issue?
    There is no known workaround solution?

    Hello

    I put t know why this happens, but it has to do with the BIOS.
    The same thing happened on my old laptop. I couldn't start my unit while the USB printer has been turned on and connected.
    The only solution is to disconnect the external USB device during the boot process.

    RSY you should check if the order of boot in the BIOS has been on the HARD drive first.

  • C870-19(r) satellite does not start with the new SSD

    Hello

    I will update the Toshiba Satellite C870 19(r) with a Pro 840 Samsung SSD, but it does not start.

    He said: not found system.

    Post edited by: joch333n

    None found system means that there is no system installed on the SSD drive...

    What you trying to do?
    You start from a disk in order to install the new system?

    In this case, you should disable startup secure in the BIOS.
    I also recommend moving from UEFI mode MSC!

  • Satellite Pro A120 - does not start with 4 GB of memory

    Hi all

    I'm new here so please be gentle!

    I have a Satellite Pro A120, model No. PSACOE - 037014EN and you want to increase the memory 512 MB present. I tried 2 different sets of memory 4 GB (2x2gb), but the machine does not start. I tried the different modules together and on their own but still no joy.

    Where I'm going wrong? This model will not take 2 GB memory modules?

    Any advice will be appreciated.

    Best regards

    Dr. Feelgood

    Hello

    Before changing something about your hardware, please make sure that if the computer supports the new pieces of material and, therefore, you can also consult the user manual.

    Anyway, I checked this and this laptop can only be upgraded to 2 GB maximum. This means that you can use the module of 1 GB in each slot and * no * 2 GB in each slot.

    So please bring back the memory modules and buy 2x1GB. It will work.

  • Satellite C660-108 does not start with 8 GB of RAM

    I bought 2 x 4 GB memory modules to upgrade memory up to 8 GB.
    With 8 GB installed, the laptop does not start, but he will start with 6 GB installed.
    Modules 4 GB 6 GB configuration and wood East of 1.8.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    According to the manual, this laptop can be upgraded up to 8 GB of RAM.

    Then you should be able to use the 2 x 4 GB RAM modules

    I think that both modules are not compatible with each other and therefore cannot boot up the laptop.

    You should test the laptop with the help of other modules.
