Satellite C660 - problem with the upgrade from 4 GB to 8 GB

Hello

I have a Satellite C660-124 64-bit with Windows 7.

I tried to extend the RAM of 4 GB (2x2gb) up to 8 GB (4x2Go), but the laptop is stuck on the 'Starting Windows' screen (I've already updated the BIOS and also if I tried with a new installation, the problem is the same).

Aries is Kingston 4 GB PC3L - 12800 CL11 204 pins SODIMM

Please
Thank you to

Well well, its certainly possible to increase the RAM up to 8 GB of RAM.
Your case looks like a new RAM isn t entirely compatible or the module could be defective.

Toshiba says that the DDR3 RAM (1 066 MHz) 4 GB RAM PA3677U-1M4G module should be fully compatible.

The module PA3677U-1M4G should be the same as the module of Kingston KTT1066D3 / 4G
You certainly need a module SODIMM DDR3 1066 Mhz PC3 - 8500 204 pins.

  • Satellite C660 - problem with the IKEA 3D viewer

    Hi guys, I'm having a problem using Ikea kitchen on my wife Satellite C660-26Z Scheduler using Windows 7 64 bit. Its done online on the website of ikea. An add-on is used called 20-20 3d viewer for ikea. I tried Chrome, Firefox, and IE9.

    Chrome add on is unable to load which gives an error message "cannot load viewer. In Firefox, nothing happens and IE9 crashes constantly. I searched all kinds of forums and found nothing that helps.

    I have a desktop with XP and it works without problem. My daughter has a Toshiba laptop not running Windows 7 and once again no problem.

    I compared the settings as far as my limited knowledge will allow between two laptops and can see no difference between them.

    I would be very grateful if anyone has any ideas because my wife made my head!

    Thanks in advance.

    I don't know about other issues. There are always 'problems' with any upgrade. You weigh against the benefits. I know that you need more RAM. At least 4 GB, maybe more if you can. Don't forget that this system is produced at a time when most of the machines have + 8 GB RAM and when Apple said 'minimum' they really mean it.  I recently inherited a MacBook that has 2 GB of RAM and the Mavericks. When I checked the memory, the use of the system was using 1.95 GB = nothing to run applications!

  • HP pavilion dv6-2150us: problems with the upgrade of processor for an i7-720qm on a hp pavilion dv6-2150us

    Hi all

    My friend recently bought an i7-720qm processor used to upgrade hp pavilion dv6 2 1 5 0 US and I

    summer giving a helping hand by making the upgrade.

    Since the 10 Windows running Google Chrome used up to 70% of the processing of an i3 - 330 m power

    processor, it seemed to be good upgrade to improve the performance of the laptop.

    We checked that the new i7 processor is compatible with the laptop (it is listed as supported by the)

    ( interview guide , page 108), and the seller assured us he tested the CPU on some different

    HP pavilion and it worked fine.

    But when I replaced the processor with the i7 processor i3 and tried to boot up the laptop, only the LED lights

    on the front and the setting of the power and volume buttons would light up periodically. The screen was black

    All the time.

    Thinking I might have made a mistake during the reassembly of the laptop I put the original i3 processor back in

    and it starts fine.

    I updated the BIOS of the F.1C version I found on the internet and once replaced the i3 with the i7 with the

    same results - display off, flashes periodically LEDs. The BIOS updated smoothly, and the correct version is displayed in the main menu of the BIOS.

    I am confused on what could be the problem with the upgrade, everything should work. Is there a BIOS update I have

    missed, or the problem elsewhere?

    Disassembly and reassembly are made with care, and we took care to avoid static electricity. All the rest

    on the laptop works well - I am writing this post on the laptop in question with the original i3 processor in place.

    Any help, advice or general guidelines as to what should be done would be really appreciated.

    Thank you for your attention.

    Hello:

    The problem is that if you look in Chapter 3 of the manual, pp 22-23, there are maps of separate used for the dual core and quad core processors system.

    In other words, you cannot install a quad core processor in a Board that originally had a dual core processor and vice versa.

    Last week, I bought my first laptop - a C660.
    A few days after I bought it, I noticed that he was typing double characters or completely miss the characters.
    Now, maybe it's that I'm adjusting to the keyboard, but I was wondering if there was any problem with the keyboards?

  • Satellite A500 - problem with the monitor after restoration

    Hello
    I have a Satellite A500. He has a problem with the monitor for a while, when you turn it on it's all lines etc. and you can not read but once the laptop to boot completely it is fine. My problem is that I wanted to do a restore, but I couldn't because the screen problem it started so I plugged into an external monitor and perform the restore. That has worked well.

    But now the laptop recognizes any my laptop screen. When you go to view it offers no other monitor choice other than external, I used for the restoration. I downloaded the display driver but nothing has changed.
    ANY IDEAS?

    Thank you

    (I have the disks for the restoration, if that helps.)

    > There a problem with the monitor for a while, when you turn it on it's all lines etc. and you can't read
    If I understand you right you can see when laptop starts and you see Toshiba welcome screen. Is this good?
    When you enter the BIOS settings you see thise lines too?

    Later, when you see the desktop on the external monitor, you can use the FN + F5 key combination to switch between an LCD and external monitor. Please try to use it and post comments if it works or not.

  • Satellite A200 - problems with the AC adapter / CC

    Hello

    The problem concerns a Satellite A200 (PSAF6A-02H01N).

    Recently, there was problems with the laptop, taking several attempts to boot to Vista, it would lock up while loading or just hang and freeze just after loading Vista.
    But once it was up and the laptop running would be happy working for hours with the AC adapter is plugged in.

    The problem got worse now and the laptop will not load Vista end without crashing.
    We have now reduced the computer down to have only a problem when the power adapter is connected.
    The laptop battery will charge normally with the AC adapter is plugged in and the laptop on standby or off.

    The problem persists with the AC adapter is plugged in and the battery removed.
    The laptop will start and run perfectly with battery and no power adapter plugged. Once the AC adapter is plugged in the laptop indicates that the battery is charging and then after a few seconds it crash or freeze and the only escape is a full stop.
    The laptop will not work under the battery power for 30 minutes max.
    I checked the output voltage of the AC adapter and this seems to be a consistent 19.4 Volts.

    Is this only a problem of AC adapter or the problem with the laptop?

    Thanks in advance...

    I lifted the previous discussions on this problem and found one that was very similar, but unfortunately the user decided not to find the problem of the road, save money and buy a new laptop instead! Hmm. !! .. seems to me like this might be a prob. material. Maybe a new motherboard?... anyone have an idea of what are the costs for that perhaps? .. an ASP or decent technician backstreet?...

  • Re: Satellite C650 - problem with the devices connected to USB ports

    Hello

    Can help someone, I have a C650 and everytime I try to connect to something to him via the USB ports, it is not "found" by the computer?

    The other night, I tried to get pictures on my phone but it wasn'; work and I put it down to a problem with the phone, but today I tried to install something digital crafts for my daughter and during installation it tells you to insert the thing into the USB port and click Next, when I do that he's going through a lot of "research" and said then it can not be found.

    The laptop makes a beep sound as it would on an extraction device when you plug... I hope that makes sense. So I am now assuming that the problem is with my computer, is there something I can do to fix this?
    Thanks in advance

    Sorry should add - it's like nothing is plugged at all when it is, and it happens on two USB ports, not just one...

    You are able to use an external USB mouse correctly?

    > but today I tried to install something digital crafts for my daughter and during installation it tells you to insert the thing into the USB port and click Next, when I do that he's going through a lot of "research" and said then it can not be found.
    I guess this could be a problem with the software or drivers installed.

    I searched a bit and his city that he has a software is compatible with windows vista/2000/xp. Win 7 is not mentioned do not know if this could be a problem, but in your case, I recommend asking the support of this software product for some advice.

    In addition, you can try to install this software once more, check whether this USB problem appears again.

  • Satellite A500 - problems with the temperature of the GPU

    The thing is playing Age of Empires online I started having problems with the temperature of the GPU. When you run the AIDA64 the CPU stress test can hold up well, but after 35 minutes the test what AIDA suspended while the GPU fan can't seem to download their revolutions, (I guess that if there was that a rise in temperature would increase the speed of rotation of the fan, don't).

    I consulted the manufacturer of the GPU, nVidia, (the graphic is nVidia GeForce GT 230 M) and tell me to contact Toshiba for other options, since, according to them, the problem is not the GPU.

    Any ideas or suggestions?

    You use your laptop to factory settings?
    Have you installed something that may be responsible for this (non-Toshiba display driver)?

  • Satellite 1905 - problem with the touchpad after awakening from Hibernation/standby

    Greetings.

    I've known a few interesting problems with my Satellite 1905 - S301.
    Whenever he wakes up from hibernation/standby my touchpad stopped accepting "taps" as a click on the left button of the mouse. It works normally with finger motion detection, but stops at all but it is quite annoying to restart the machine whenever he returns from hibernation mode.

    I've done a small workaround and after I close the laptop lid still works but this isn't the way it should work, I would have preferred that she either Hibernate than running for 10 hours without any sense;).

    Can someone give me the solution to this problem, please?
    Thank you in advance.

    Kind regards
    Akar

    Hello

    I agree with you. It s very boring to restart the machine each time to use the touchpad.
    This problem appears on the first day?

    I think there might be a software problem and, possibly, the new installation of operating system recovery CD Toshiba could help.
    I know, the complete installation is not the best solution, but it might help.

    You should also check you the touchpad. Satellite 1905 - S301 was designed for the U.S. market and so I checked the American website for available drivers.
    It seems that 5.3.203.2 is a newer version of the Alps touchpad driver for Windows XP.

    I suggest to reinstall the touchpad driver and check if there is no improvement.

  • Satellite P200 - problem with the use of disk HARD original as external drive

    I've been pulling on my hair for a month now and could do with help

    I have a Satellite P200 series PC laptop and have recently updated from the 200 GB for a pair or 320 GB HARD drive. No problem

    The question I have is that the old drive of 200 GB system I am unable to use it in any other machine or according to and external storage device.
    The original secondary disc works fine few matter where I use it... (In my PS3 at the moment)

    When I install the orgional system drive in my laptop and rebuild windows it it still works 100%.
    Hance a good work of 200 GB of HARD drive.
    Take it out and serve in another machine of storage that it won't - boot all I get is cyclic redundancy errors

    I formatted, low level run endless disk tools
    WD test came back with diagnostics Test::Read 11 - cable sector error!

    Even as a drive on the original laptop is the same

    All ideas taken with gratitude that I don't want to lose a good 200 GB HARD drive

    Thank you very much
    Roger

    Hello!

    The external box is maybe defective, because you said that the HARD drive works in your laptop and the PS3 without problem.
    You can test the HARD drive in another external case?

    WD test unknown to me but I always use the Drive Fitness Test:
    http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT
    With the Drive Fitness Test, you can test your HARD drive. Download the CD image, burn it to a CD and boot from it. You can then the HARD drive.
    On the same site is a user's guide if you want to know more.

    Good bye
