Satellite L300-1BW - is very slow

Hello world!
Recently, I bought the TOSHIBA SATELLITE L300-1BW (PSLB8E)
Link: http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/supportMyProduct.do?service=UK&userAction=SMP_RESU LTS_PAGE & partNumber = PSLB8E-03F007EN & serialNumber = Y8805872q & USER_ACTION = 20number % series

I need it for my study and using home. Computer runs VERY slowly. Now I have a version of Windows XP Pro SP3 64 bits. The programs that I have only Ms Office, Skype, Nero, antivirus - BitDefender. I play all the games. IM from the application for my study only - using Ms Word.

My computer has been verified in the service center and no defects of any sore - not any software and hardware, virus damage, no all manufacture faults. The owners of these model please give me advice what to do. I stuck!

What should I install Windows XP 32 bit or install Windows 2000 or upgrade hardware (memory... whatever)? I won't be disappointed by TOSHIBA!

Evil appreciate any HELP!

Hey Buddy,

Can you be a little more detailed, please? What do you mean with very slow?
How long it takes so that it starts Windows?
How long it takes to start an application?

I have to say that Windows XP 64-bit wasn t popular and there is no official support for Toshiba for this OS. If you use Windows XP, I recommend to install the 32-bit version.

Did you test your laptop with the factory settings? It works properly with a preinstalled OS from Toshiba?

I m also owner of the Satellite L300 and I use the preinstalled Windows XP 32 bit of Toshiba. I m very satisfied with this laptop, it s fast enough and need very little energy. :)

    Hello!

    If you use Windows Vista, you must disable the WLAN energy saving function. You can find it in the Vista power management options. Check it!

    In addition, you should try to update the driver WLAN and the BIOS. The two you can find on the Toshiba site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online downloads support & -online Download Driver

    Last but not least, I would recommend that you read hundreds of discussions on the problems of WIFI. You will find so much tips and tricks how to increase the WLAN functionality and troubleshooting.

    My Satellite L300-1BW has recently ceased to connect the my Wi - Fi.

    It shows that wireless networks are available, I can see my secure network and there is no red cross through the icon but when I click on IE, it only says: unable to connect.

    I tried with 2 of my friends houses on their connections without wire (previously connected) and it just does the same thing.
    I can see all the networks concerned, but it won't take me actually to my homepage.

    I do not understand why it has just stopped working - drives my lan are up-to-date. Help..!

    Hello

    You can see the WLan, which means that the WiFi is enabled correctly.
    But have you used the good encryption and encryption password in order to connect to the WLan router?

    Please check this!

    Please also check the firewall settings!

  • How to upgrade RAM on Satellite L300-1BW

    Hey!

    Agreed I would update my RAM. But I've never owned a laptop, I have been using your desktop since the first day.

    I was wondering if someone could point me in the direction of little RAM that is compatible with my L300-1BW.

    Prefferbly 3-4GB RAM would be really decent. Thank you to

    Hi dude

    If it's your first laptop then I would recommend first read the manual of the user that is stored on the Toshiba laptop.
    I think that this should be the first step before using a device for the first time.
    I did it with my new Full HD LCD too before using it I first read the user manual.

    Why I m suggesting consulted the user manual? Its very simple.
    You will find all information s. check the extension memory of Chapter 8.

    The laptop can be upgraded up to 4 GB (2 x 2 GB) and you can use the modules of PC2-5300. If the laptop supports GL960 Express chipset then the PC2-5300 modules would go as PC2-4200 due to a lower speed of the FSB of GL960 Express chipset.

    Notes; The 32-bit Windows recognizes THAT 3.2 GB of RAM. Only 64-bit OS can handle more than 3.2 GB

    See you soon

  • Re: Satellite L300-PSLB8E works super slow on Windows XP

    I have a Satellite L300-PSLB8E. It came with Vista Home Premium. After I did my recovery DVD, I did a SATA drivers downloaded from the Toshiba site. I did the F6 thing but kept getting always a bluescreen when the installation program got the 'starting Windows' I passed the SATA AHCI in BIOS compatibility and then managed to install XP without the SATA drive. What is strange, it's the sound LAGS and disk access is super slow. I ran a speed test program and he showed that the performance of the HARD disk are only 5% of the performance in Vista. I actually tested it on another laptop the same which was decommissioned and it had the same problem. Any advice? What is the AHCI Mode?

    > I had the SATA AHCI in BIOS compatibility and then managed to install XP without SATA drive

    This is the reason why your L300 runs slowly using Win XP.
    You have set the SATA in compatibility mode and now the HARD drive is not able to use the SATA performance.

    Your laptop would be faster using mode SATA and SATA drivers.

  • Satellite C50D-A-134 - very slow internet connection

    Hello
    In may, I bought a Saturday C50D-A-134.

    From the very beginning. The internet speed is very slow - Wifi or cable.

    That's what I did:

    Installed the latest drivers (LAN and Wifi)
    Installed latest Bios Update

    Contact internet provider: everything is checked - no problem of provider. (my other laptop on the same network speed gets speeds up to 10 times faster. So it really isn't a provider problem.

    There is no adware installed - it is not a problem of viruses (checked with several programs avast - malwarebytes etc.)

    Can someone help me

    The laptop seems to be equipped with 10/100 (10 Mbits / 100Mbit) Base-TX Ethernet LAN module. T
    It modulates Atheros WB335 WLan supports standards 802.11 b/g/n and supports 150Mbps.

    So for me the hardware configuration seems good and to be honest I don't think that there is a hardware / driver problem

    As you have pointed out the similar problem with both modules (WLAN and LAN) I recommend you to reset the router even if other devices are not affected.

    By the way: what do you exactly mean by slow?
    Can you give us a few values?

  • Satellite C660-1ZM is very slow

    I recently fixed my laptop to its original state, so, nothing had been installed to this topic, it seems very slow, because it crashes or stuggles to load on several basic programs, sometimes it loads fine other times it just hangs, I installed several drivers in the list of Toshiba, but always remains the same.

    Any advice?
    Thank you

    Aaron

    What are the core programs for you?
    What exactly happens?

    I think you which is your laptop quite slow. Preinstalled operating system must be configured correctly.
    You must remove all the unnecessary stuff system, configure the startup option to avoid the long start-up and have better performance of the laptop.

  • Satellite L300-1bw - Question on the removal of the HARD drive password

    Hi, I own a L300-1bw, is seriously damaged (I'm going to scrap it) I had a HARD drive password to set.

    Now, a friend has a C660 - 26G, which I hope to use to remove the password (which obviously I know).

    Now, I plan to install in the C660 and go into the Bios to remove my HDD password, I will then put it it an external USB caddy.

    Does anyone know if this is likely to work.

    * Just to make it clear, it's my hard drive and I know that the password.*

    Hello

    I read in this thread that someone tried to remove the HARD drive password using a laptop from another manufacturer, and it did not work. But he managed to remove the HARD drive password using a Toshiba laptop.

    Usually, the HARD drive password is stored and encrypted on the HARD drive therefore, theoretically, that it should be possible to delete a password KNOWN to the HARD drive using the C660.

    So I would simply test it
