Satellite L350 - Vista shows only 2 GB of RAM, but I have 4 GB installed

I installed 2 two modules expansion memory of 2 GB each to my satellite L350 that works on Windows Vista Premium.
I bought at Toshiba UK who confirmed that they were the correct modules.

The System Control Panel icon always indicates RAM 2 GB (not 4GB) memory.
If I remove one module 2 GB, the system icon of 2 GB (which is correct) said Control Panel.
I have re-installed the two modules and changed their round in the slots, but the system icon still says 2 GB.

Hello

You have 32 bit or 64 bit Vista?
First Vista 32-bit is not able to handle 4 GB of RAM. 32 bit OS have a limit, and they can only use about 3 GB of RAM.
Here is some practical information: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB82022E0000R01.htm

You have installed Service Pack 1 for Vista?
How much RAM does the BIOS?

  • Satellite L350-141 works with 4 GB of RAM?

    I want to improve my Satellite L350 up to 4 GB of RAM. BIOS accept 4096 MB.
    But I can't install an operating system (xp prof. or 32-bit vista)
    My L350 boot from CD DVD, but if the installation program does not start I have a reboot.

    My question is: will my Satellite L350-141 work with 4 GB of RAM?

    Hello

    I think that he should t be a problem with the 4 GB of RAM.

    But as you probably n t known, Microsoft Windows 32 bit OS cannot use the full 4 GB of RAM due to the limitation of the 32-bit operating system.
    Microsoft has published several articles and documents concerning the issue of RAM of 4 GB.
    If you want you can google for this question.

    Fact is that only Windows OS 64 bit (XP or Vista) would be able to use the full 4 GB of RAM.

    The BIOS and Chipset also support 4 GB of RAM to make sure that the laptop and windows would be able to use the full memory.

  • Satellite Pro A200 - shows only 3 GB instead of 4 GB of RAM

    Hello

    2 years ago I had a Satellite Pro A200 as a professional laptop and it works with XP SP2, later with SP3. With 2 GB, it shows 2 GB memory in Windows - and I know it's a Radeon 7500 with 256 MB memory graphics individual, and there is no shared memory.

    I upgraded to 4 GB, but Windows shows exactly 3 GB. BIOS shows 4 GB and ATI system monitor shows 4 GB. I know that 4 GB is not possible under XP 32-bit, only on Windows 2003 R2 32 bit or Vista - but on desktop systems, I've seen values between 3.3 and 3.7 GB.

    So, where's the memory? It looks like a bug - the chips of memory have two 2 GB I checked this. Because it's a company laptop I can not just switch to 64-bit XP :-(

    There's no option in the BIOS - first I thought that it is the graphics card, but mine has independent graphics with own memory so that the computer comes up with MB 2048 or 4096 after the upgrade.

    Shared memory would show about 1900 MB of RAM for the operating system as my private EEEpc.

    Hi shadowmaster_1,

    > I know that 4 GB is not possible under XP 32 bit
    Then why do you ask this question here if you already know? Moreover, it s not a limitation in XP, it s a material limitation on all 32-bit systems

    > only on Windows 2003 R2 32 bit or Vista
    And who says that Windows 2003 or Vista can use 4 GB? Okay, there's an update for Vista where 4 GB correct displayed in system properties, but that doesn't make no difference. Vista 32 bit peut t use all of 4GB, it s only cosmetic improvements! ;)

    > So where is memory?
    Memory is installed on your computer, but can t be used complelty with a 32 bit OS.

    At the end of the story: If you want to use 4 GB, you need to install a 64 bit OS. On all the 32 bit OS, you can use only upward to ~3.2GB RAM!

  • Satellite L300-1AF: Vista see only 2.9 GB RAM

    I just stuck 4 MB of RAM in my L300 and seem to have some weird settings now.

    I know that Vista 32 bit will treat more than 3.2 MB of RAM, but my system is showing 2940 instead of 3.2.
    The GMA4500 shipped is showing that using 1341.

    Is this normal, or is there a way to get the laptop to use full 3.2 and only to allocate the rest of the graphics card.

    See you soon.

    Hello

    Don t be worried boyfriend.
    Everythign seems to be ok.
    The fact is that your laptop was equipped with the Intel shared graphics card and received on the part of the main memory to the memory of the graphics card.

    That's why the system show on ~ 2.9 GB

    Open a session about UI.exe - corrupted file
    File or directory C/Program ~ 1 / Toshiba/Smart face V is corrupt & unreadable.

    I tried to run a system restore to the last configuration on both computers, but always the same problem exists. I also tried to restore the two laptops to the factory settings, but the system still does not work. I don't have a restore disk as disk Toshiba HARD drive recovery is on the laptop.

    Can someone help me or suggest any way I can fix it both of these laptops. It seems very strange that both of these computers have stopped working at the same time according to windows automatic updates in October 09.

    Thank you Gary

    Hello

    AFAIK the LogonUI.exe is responsible for connecting to the Windows operating system.
    If the exe file is corrupt then you won't be able to connect to the operating system.

    You don t the recovery disk but you have the HARD drive on the second partition recovery this may be your last resort.

    Switch on and press F8. Choose fix my computer.
    Then new window appears offering the option called: HARD drive recovery.

    Choose this option and see if you can start the HDD recovery procedure.

  • Upgrade memory satellite A110-103 - the Bios shows only 1 GB of RAM

    {color: #000000} Dear Forum Toshiba,

    I own a Toshiba Satellite A110-103 (PSABE6) bought in 2006 of the Belgium.
    I have trouble about an upgrade of RAM for this laptop. The laptop was originally a Samsung 512 MB of RAM.
    I tried to upgrade the RAM to its maximum capaity supported 2 GB.
    I bought and installed 2 Kingstone SODIMM 1 GB Value Ram DDR2 PC2 4300 units compatible with the laptop, but

    in the BIOS, I see only 1 GB of RAM.
    I tested each RAM separately and they work very well. The problem is that when I install in my

    locations of the laptop, my BIOS sees no Ram.Instead 2 GB 2 GB, it shows only 1 GB. I updated my BIOS for more later

    version 1.70 (for XP), but the laptop continues to show only 1 GB.

    I tested the RAM separately:
    -inserted only 1 stick in the drive and the pc started ok showing 1 GB of RAM
    -then I inserted the same stick in another location and it also worked well showing 1 GB of RAM
    - then I checked another unit of the RAM in the same way and worked well
    -When I try to put 1 GB of Ram and the old 512 MB RAm the BIOS correctly showed the new value of 1.5 GB
    -i also checked the other 1 GB of ram and the old 512 MB of ram and showed good again in the Bios with the value of 1.5 GB
    - but when I tried to put the 2 ram set units to obtain the BIOS only detected 1 GB 2 GB.

    Here's the description detailed 1 GB modules that I try to install:

    SLOT #1
    The module size: 1024
    Band Max bandwidth: PC2-4300(266Mhz)

    I think the problem is that the two s of RAM are not compatible, but it is not explained to me because use you two identical modules.

    In your case I return the RAM to the computer dealer and say the modules work together in your notebook, but your laptop definitely supports 2 GB of RAM.

    I think that there is no other way because you have updated your BIOS to the latest version.
    Here is the part number for RAM Toshiba compatible:
    1 GB OF DDR2 400/533 (PA3411U-1M1G)

  • Windows resource monitor shows only a CPU core when he should have four.

    Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, SP1
    Intel Core i3 2330 m-hyperthreading

    Resource monitor normally indicates two nuclei and Hyperthreaded (a total of four graphs) when seen on the tab CPU recently single core (one graph) is displayed. This change is caused by one of the updates of Windows or an indicator of a hardware problem? Is there a recommended KB or a patch that solves it?

    original title: change of resource monitor (?)

    You asked: "what version of Windows 7 do you have?" ... Home Premium x 64, SP1 as indicated at the beginning of my first post.

    As my screen name, incurably curious, says I couldn't let it go. Assistance in the meantime, I searched tirelessly and found a cure. I had to make a change through msconfig. I don't have any idea how the settings have been changed because no one else is using this machine.  [????] (Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes returns own scans; so I doubt that the cause is associated malware.) The following explains what I've done and the results.

    1. I went into msconfig > startup > advanced options and find the number of processors, set one. The arrow to expand a menu drop-down has also shown that a single processor. Which did not make sense because my processor Intel Core i3 2330 M's two core with hyperthreading.
    2. I unchecked the box and restart the computer.
    3. I returned the number of processors as described in #1 above. Expand the menu gave me the choice of 1, 2, 3 or 4 processors. I chose two and checked the box.
    4. I rebooted the computer again.
    5. I checked the monitor of resources (via the Task Manager) and found multiple graphics, I'm used to the display. The graphics are labeled: Service use of the CPU, CPU 0, 1 parked CPU 2 CPU and CPU3 parked.
    6. Parked CPU1 and CPU3 parked show no activity, which is expected. These show only activity when hyperthreading is active, which is rare with the programs I run. Only programs written specifically to hyperthreading use the feature.
    7. CPU utilization service CPU2 and CPU0 show activity as expected.
    8. Manager tasks shows four graphs still now.

    The reason why I know not what to expect is that I have upgraded RAM and completed cooling there are a few months and one of my tools use resource monitor to control the computer. (I used other means to monitor the internal temperature). I managed to run enough programs to use more than 7 GB, the 8 GB available RAM and CPU usage Dungeon in the range of 75 to 100% for more than an hour during trials. Hyperthreading (CPU1 and CPU3) clearly indicated to be active too. Time CPU ran in the range 165F without additional cooling and order of 125-130 with additional cooling.

    I will wait for return of the answers with explanations and/or questions until I got this mark as resolved.

  • Control Panel shows that 4 GB of RAM, but product specs say I should have 8GB

    My HP Pavilion Elite HPE-250f desktop computer is supposed to get 8 GB of the RAM factory installed, but the control panel shows only 4 GB. When I run the diagnostic with the Support Assistant software it says that everything is working well, but also shows that 4 GB of RAM. I've had the computer for several months and the warranty just expired. In the past, I noticed it says 4 GB and thought that I should have bought a computer with only 4 GB, but it has always seemed strange to me. I looked towards the top of the record online and it says the HPE-250f has of 8 GB, and it also says 8 GB on the box in which it came. I didn't do any changes to the computer and never open the Cabinet. I hesitate to open the cupboard, but do not feel I should have to pay a lot of money to understand this.

    HP Pavilion Elite HPE-250f

    Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

    It took me a few tries - and months of frustration - but I solved the problem by carefully removing the memory cards, clean gently slots and cards and firmly the resettlement of the cards. It's been several months now, but the memory has been resolved. I had serious problems, as it is stated in this thread, with a catastrophic failure of the graphics card and HARD disk failure. I read on several posts that this particular graphics card was problematic, so I've upgraded to a Radeon HD 7700 series. I got the Core edition, which has 2 GB of memory defect to 1 GB. No problem since.

    In case of hard drive failure, it was a disaster! I replaced the HARD drive of 1 TB with a 512 GB SSD, but it kept the infection by a rootkit that I couldn't clean up. I tried cleaners virus and rootkit of several software companies with no joy. Not even the first products like Kaspersky, McAfee, Sophos, BitDefender and other companies. I reformatted the drive several times, but the hook came back in return. Finally, I brought the computer to a friend who is a computer SCIENCE professional. The rootkit probably lies in the commercial cloning software (Acronis True Image HD) that came with the SSD, it said. We loaded the operating system without using Acronis and have not had any problems since! I've also installed a WD Blue 1 TB HDD and rebuilt directories so that all libraries (Documents, photos, videos, etc.) are on the disk hard while the system is installed on the solid state drive. The upgrades were worth every penny! Now, my desktop HP 5 years computer works very well and the performance is very good even by today's standards. Boot times are much faster, too.

  • Satellite M40 - shows only 1 GB of RAM instead of 1, 5 GB

    Hello

    I have a Satellite M40-296 with 512 MB of RAM. I bought a 1024 MB of RAM (from Kingston) and put it in the computer. He could show about 1500 MB, but I only have 1024. It s like the work of a few Don t of 512 MB.
    I took out the 512 MB and I 1024Mo, but if I put the 512 MB 1024MB still.

    I updated the BIOS to 1.20

    Can someone help, please?

    Thank you

    Hey Buddy,

    Normally, you can move the laptop to 2 GB RAM max.
    Did you test each module in each slot?

    I put t know that's wrong exactly, but I think that the modules are not compatible together if only the 1 GB module will be recognized.
    Normally for optimal compatibility two modules with the same characteristics and size must be installed.

    I recommend buying a second module of Kingston.
