Satellite A660-1FH fails to back off with Win7 64-bit

Hi, a friend of mine asked me to watch his Satellite A660-1FH (PSAW3E). It is currently running windows 7 64 bit. There initially could not activate so I said I'd take a peek.

It just would not start the power on, it would go beyond the initial screen then cursor would appear at the top on the left and flash a couple of times and freeze. I started and you press f2 to view the bios and the HARD drive was top of the list so I pressed f10 and saved and started. starts fine then he thought may have been an accident that has caused and continues in windows and update for him.
then rebooted and froze! It seems when the restart is selected, it does not restart, everything freezes.

I tried to use hirens resumed but it cannot see the HARD drive when it is started! weird. I got in the car and he ghosts for safety.

Earlier I installed 8 company windows x 64, and it presents the same question. the drive works fine in other pc so you need another piece of equipment. I had already updated the BIOS under win7 and checked all drivers.

I just got a strange win8 startup message saying that a boot or partition file was missing and could not start but him repressing the power button, it starts well.

It does not always restart under a clean install of win8. I came here because I found a post with the same or similar issue. Any suggestions? Thanks Mark

> it just would not start the power on, it would go beyond the initial screen then cursor appears at the top on the left and flash a couple of times and freeze

The blinking cursor appears in the upper left corner indicates a malfunction or memory from HDD. I think you should check both sides.

You said that the drive works fine in another PC. Do you hear the HARD drive?
If so, then the HARD drive is OK and the RAM is probably the troublemaker.

  • 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 A660 - 17 M - need drivers for Windows 7 32 bit

    Dear all

    I just brought a new Toshiba Satellite A660 - 17 M in Egypt and I installed windows 7 32-bit on it to support my company work, but I could find the drivers for it on the website and many material options does not specially the extra package, please help me!
    is it possible that I can install it or fix it?

    Hey Buddy,

    The problem is that most of the new laptops don't support windows 7 64 bit because they come with 4 GB or more RAM capacity and 32-bit support only up to 3.2 GB.

    I think you should search the drivers yourself. Just check out some similar Toshiba models, they support Windows 7 32 bit. As much as I know Satellite L500 provides 32-bit drivers Windows 7 and tools where you can also get value-added package for example.

    If you find all the drivers of the comments would be great. :)

  • Satellite A500-17 x with Win7 64 bit - map gfx says its 32-bit

    Hello

    my laptop, Satellite A500-17 x, on Windows 7 64 bit, but the map gfx says its 32-bit.
    I saw this on the nVidia control panel. I was wondering if the 64 bit OS is having compatibility problems when I play games.

    I posted a thread on the game board on my gambling problem and I thought this might be a contributing factor.

    Thank you.

    Can you please send a screenshot? I have Win7 64 bit and nVidia card and when I open the nVidia control panel and click on system information, everything is displayed properly.

  • Satellite L300D BSOD on reboot after updates to Win7 64 bit

    I am now installing the 32-bit version, but hey, 64-bit must be possible, does it not?
    I'm open to good ideas.

    Thanks much for this information.
    Seems the BIOS update would solve the BSOD with Win 7 64 bit OS problems

  • Satellite L450D - 13 X - upgrade memory, move from Win7 32 bit to 64 bit

    Hello
    IM new to this forum and need help. I have the laptop mentioned above and wish to update the memory, but I have not the slightest idea of what type to buy. When I checked the specifications of the laptop, that's what he said; "
    Standard system memory: 2 048 MB
    maximum extension: 8 192 MB
    technology: DDR2 RAM (800 MHz)

    Is someone can you please tell me what this means?

    Also how one I would go to switch from windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit. Would really appreciate someones help on that.
    Thank you

    This means that your laptop works with 2 GB of RAM. You can extend to 8GB and make faster and better. I ve checked specification and found the info you can use 2 x 4 GB for a maximum amount of RAM. Compatible 4 GB of RAM has PA3670U-1M4G part number.
    Click on the part number to order new modules.

    I ve also checked download page of Toshiba on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp and your laptop is fully supported for Win7 64 bit. With other words, you need to install own Win7 64 bit version on your laptop. After having done that, you need to install all the necessary drivers, tools and utilities one by one.

    We can help you with this.

  • Simple question - I have the hp pavilion dv5 - 1060 ew, this time with Win7 64 bit running on it.

    As in the topic - hp dv5-1060ew, Win7 64 bit installed, I already own SODIMM 4 GB memory kit KHX6400S2ULK2 / 4G, I hoped to install. There are chances that it will work? As for now, when I use it - the computer is not running the system. If I would like to extend my memory, what would be the best option for me, since I could understand - something to do.

    Thank in advance for any help.

    Hello:

    I think that memory is too fancy for your PC. Have you checked each module one at a time?  Perhaps one is bad.

    If you did, and the PC does not work, then it is not compatible with your laptop.

    I'd go with standard portable memory like this.

    Once the extracted program you can find in the following C:\Users\PC Name\AppData\Local\Temp\7z location? Example: 7zS4ED0. Once you find the extracted installer you should be able to run the Setup.exe file to install your printer. Let me know if you need assistance?

  • Acrobat 8 Standard, do not print to PC with Win7 64 bit

    Hello I installed Acrobat 8 Standard to PC brand new with Win7. It does not print to PDF even if Acrobat itself works...

    I tried to download the updates from http://www.Adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1 & Platform = Windows for version 8.x, but it cannot be installed.

    Please advice what to do.

    I remember well, it is if you can get Acrobat 8.1 installed there is a small chance that it will work in 64-bit systems. Otherwise no. luck to all. In all cases, it is not supported and I recommend the upgrade to Acrobat XI.

  • Satellite A660-1FH - a few questions

    I recently bought a Toshiba A660 - 1FM computer i7 laptop but unfortunately due back today as it was constantly over heating and turn to the. The store have any A660 - 1FM so I was forced to take a 1FH instead. Is the 1FM a laptop well above the 1FH?

    In any case, I have some question regarding the 1FH which I hope that you guys might be able to help me with.

    (* 1) graphics card *.
    The 1FH has a Nvidia 512 MB graphics card, is this correct? Yet when I check what graphics card is coming up on the laptop that's telling me integrated Intel graphics, is there a particular reason for this? There is the Nvidia drivers and utilities on the laptop.
    Would it not be possible that the laptop has an Intel and also a Nvidia card and allows you to switch between the two? I think I've read that some laptops to do so. If this is the case, it automatically or if I need her bend over?

    The Windows Experience Score is only 4.6 due graphics for Windows Aero article still the 3D graphics score is 5.5. It's probably unusual?

    (* 2) RAM *.
    The laptop has 4 GB. I notice a lot of improvement if I set it to 6 or 8 GB? Laptop will be used for the games (no really graphics intensive say well - Football Coach), ripping and fine work.

    (* 3) noise *.
    The laptop computer makes a clicking noise from time to time - a noise that the 1FM doesn't have done. I heard a similar noise before when my Mac hard drive failed.

    Any ideas what this could be?

    (* 4) using a laptop on a bed *.
    From time to time I use a laptop on my bed.
    I am aware that this is not good for the laptop. If I use a wind cooling pad / cooling fan this will help the problem?

    Thank you in advance.

    > 1) graphics card
    > The 1FH has a Nvidia 512 MB graphics card, is this correct? Yet when I check what graphics card is coming up on the laptop that's telling me integrated Intel graphics, is there a particular reason for this?
    The laptop supports this processor:
    http://Ark.Intel.com/product.aspx?ID=50179
    It has an integrated graphics card!
    But the laptop is equipped with a NVIDIA GeForce 310 M. It's main GPU!

    (> 2 RAM)
    It s always better to have more RAM, but if you want to play games like Football Manager then the 4 GB of RAM should be more than enough for this purpose.

    (> 3 noise)
    Eventually he s coming from the HARD drive, it s always advisable to back up the data from time to time.

    (> 4) using a laptop on a bed
    Not recommended and not recommended due to problems of overheating the material could damage because of the higher temperature.

  • Satellite A660 how can I turn off the light on the power button?

    Hello, I recently bought a new Toshiba A660-1FL.

    However mind, lighting of the multimedia keys, if I work in the dark.
    In the Bios, I could disable the led lighting, but the on/off switch is always lighting, which distracts me when I'm working.
    This laptop has two power LED, so the lighting power is in my view, unnecessary.

    My question is: How can I turn off the light on the power button?

    Hello

    The power button led cannot be disabled.
    It s there if the laptop is turned on.
    The lighting in the BIOS option only controls the multimedia keys...
