Satellite L450-ez1541 - 4 GB of ram but 2.84 usable

Hello...

I just bought 2 GB of DDR2 ram to my laptop Toshiba L450-ez1541 and the system say that the maximum usable ram is 2.84 and I am using windows 7 32-bit

y at - it all? explanation of what I see and how to increase it to 4 GB?

Thank you

> maximum usable ram is 2.84 and I am using windows 7 32 bit
The 32 bit OS is limited to 3.2 GB RAM. It s no matter what Windows system is 32 bit all operating systems recognize only 3.2 GB. Therefore, you must switch to the 64-bit system if you want to use more than 3.2 GB of RAM.

In addition, a portion of main memory is shared by the graphics card and so 2.84 GB can be used by the system.

Hope I could clarify one point ;)

  • Satellite A200-1hv - 4 GB of RAM but system see only 3.1 GB

    Hello

    I have the problem. recently, I bought 4 GB of RAM for my Satellite A200-1hv but system see only 3.1 GB.
    And yes I have tested also on 64-bit vista 64 and Linux 64 systems. In both cases, it shows only 3.1 GB.

    Also when I boot my laptop on the BIOS POST screen it test only 3.1 GB of RAM memory not 4 GB.
    The funny is that when I enter in the BIOS setup, and then in the main settings tab, it shows 4GB.

    Why?
    In the specification, it is written that this laptop supports 4 GB of RAM, but it is NOT!

    In the back when the memory is counting upp there are 4 GB (40XX something) but when I loggen into victory. There is only 3 GB left.

    Is there anyone who can help me and solve this problem, I'm just 100% satisfied with my A200 but it buggs me that is missing 750MO I SEAP for.

    Hey Buddy

    For several years he s already known that the Windows 32 bit doesn t recognize all of the 4 GB due to the limitation of the 32 bit OS.
    I think you should visit the Microsoft good, old for details ;)

    D2S-L850 satellite PSKG8R-03S003RU. Windows 8. It's a 4 GB of RAM. In the 'system information' was written 4 (2.72 available) RAM. Set the bar for another 4 GB. He was 8 (2.72 available) RAM. Why only 2.72 available?

    How do you ensure to use more RAM? Sorry for bad translation.
    I am from Russia

    The laptop supports max 16 GB of RAM. So you should be able to use max RAM 2x8GB
    I think you should try this:

    1. press Windows + R key.
    2. then type MSCONFIG
    2. System Configuration window appears on the screen.
    3. click on the tab named "boot".
    4. click on "Advanced Options" and uncheck the box 'memory Maximum.
    5 reset

    I hope this helps, your comments would be appreciated

    This option doesn't exist in the BIOS and everything is controlled automatically. The BIOS update will not change.

    I have 2x512mb ram installed in my Sat L20 but system says I only have 894 MB of ram, this means that there is some kind of problem? Thanks for your help.

    If the video card uses system RAM to increase the VRAM, then it is normal.

  • Satellite A100 - 750 PSAAR, 4 GB of installed RAM, 3 GB of usable RAM

    I just upgraded my Satellite A100-750 of 2x2gb 2x1GB RAM.
    The BIOS recognizes 4 GB RAM
    but the output of said BIOS then "spent 3 GB RAM system".

    My Windows 7 Pro 64 bit OS said it has 4 GB of RAM, but only 3 GB are used.

    How can I use all my 4 GB of RAM?

    It should not be an OS problem but maybe a one BIOS.
    I tried to update my BIOS (now system BIOS version 6.0).
    but without success.

    Any suggestion?
    Thank you very much in advance,

    Hello

    In order to use 4 GB RAM three different factors are important.

    (1) BIOS
    (2) chipset
    (3) OS

    You will be able to use 4 GB of RAM if these 3 parts provide support for 4 GB RAM.

    Win 7 64 bit is 4 GB of RAM, so you should check first the capable chipset.
    Check chipset in your laptop computer and research on the Intel page for details if 4 GB of RAM are supported.
    If 4 GB of RAM are supported by the chipset then the BIOS does not appear to provide support for 4 GB.

  • Satellite L450 - white screen, Fan Spin, the Green and red lights

    Hello

    I got this Toshiba L450 for a few years now but suddenly will not display anything on the screen. The hard drive does not sound like its spinning, but the fans turn on and then off the coast from time to time. There is green a light orange, but nothing shows it. I tired it on a monitor vga, and nothing shows on the screen. I tried to take the battery and nothing. I opened to check the connections are correct and that they are. I suspect the motherboard that went on the laptop but I was wondering if it was possible to do something else?

    I also took the RAM modules one by one and still nothing. I also used another battery and still nothing. As the dust has been removed fans as there was a lot of dust. The warranty expired a long time ago.

    All the tips, but be very much appreciated.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    To be honest, I don't think you can do something other than control of the RAM and the laptop for external monitor connection.
    RAM failure can cause issues as described in your ad, but it seems that you have already checked the modules of RAM and obviously, this isn't the reason for the question.

    So I think it may be the CPU or motherboard failure
    Motherboards are laptop parts more expensive, and if the laptop is not covered by the warranty, I wouldn't try fix this problem in this case, its value to buy a new laptop of course, that would be the only problem of CPU then maybe you should get in contact with a technician laptop that could test the hardware to get over details on the issue.

  • Satellite Pro M50: 896 MB of RAM available instead of 1536 MB

    I recently bought a 1 GB RAM module for my laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro M50. The laptop has already had a 512 MB card installed. I used the scanner memory from crucial.com to ensure what I bought compatible memory.

    I installed the 1 GB module, and now all of my system will show is that I have 896 MB of RAM available. It is of course the module 1024Mo less 128 MB for the execution of the shared video card. My BIOS shows also only 896 MB of available RAM, but if I run a program of analysis such as CPU - Z it shows 2 modules of RAM installed with a total of 1536 MB of RAM available.

    I tried the two RAM modules individually in both slots and the two modules together in both slots. Both work individually and both work in two locations in memory, but combined the module of 512 MB is not displayed. 1 024 MB module seems to be fine. I am running Win XP SP2.

    Do you have any ideas I can do to fix this?

    A second question, I used to play DVDs on my laptop, but recently, when I try, the sound crackles & pop & the DVD skips a little every two seconds... any ideas?

    See you soon!

    Nick

    Hello

    I found similar issues here in this forum and especially he was bound for the bar of memory is not compatible.

    According to the information on the Toshiba Web page module the 1024 MB PC2700 (PA3313U-2M1G) is supported and can be used.

    I put t know what the manufacture of your new memory is, but I wouldn't recommend mix parts. Try to use both modules of the same provider and use both with exactly the same specifications.

    Hope this helps a little

    Good day...

  • Boot with Win7 32 bit and Satellite L450-36 problems

    A friend has a laptop Toshiba Satellite L450-36 Windows 7 32-bit which he thinks has been hit by a Virus. He went to use the laptop a few weeks 3 + ago and concluded that it would not initialize. Now, he has 3 daughters who, before this problem, much used YouTube and say that they were able to see updates Adobe Flash Player appear on the screen at regular intervals, but they have deleted the. When he came to talk about the problem for me, I offered to watch the machine that I have some disks that can cure or at least let me save records Paragon Rescue Kit, Avira Anti Virus Rescue Disk, AVG Rescue Disk & others.

    When I turn on the machine I get a screen with boot Toshiba Leading Innovation one
    Press [F2] for INSTALLATION, press [F12] to the lower boot device selection menu. I leave the machine in operation and a window pops up let me the choice of {HD1}, , , but nothing happens when I select one, then I stop the machine and start again, this time by pressing F2 which takes me into the BIOS. I put in a cd, Paragon Rescue Kit 11, arrived on the BIOS and the CD starts. I did the same thing with the Avira Anti Virus system and it found 4 infections. He then lets me copy all my friend (s) files on an external hard drive, which allows me to complete objectives.

    I started the Recovery CD/DVD Toshiba product and I get a Windows loading files message followed by a bar of Microsoft Corporation loading under him and then there is a black screen with a cursor on it. I did the same thing with a system Windows 7 32-bit repair disc and get the same result black screen empty.

    I am retired and to my knowledge has been gained since the Commodore 64 days, then Amiga and PC now, but it isn't enough for me to fix this problem. I found very frustrating to be able to use a Linux program and see all the programs on the PC, but not actually being able to restart it, and start them! I could probably Boot & Nuke the hard drive, but my friend wasn't t provided with a disc of Windows 7 o/s system couldn t so re-installed without buying again.

    I would be very grateful for any advice on how to get rid of the HD1/FLOPPY/NEXT HD window and a solution for the portable computer so that it starts properly. I took pictures of different screens on the laptop that I could pass if they would help.

    In my opinion, you should remove the HARD drive and connect it to another computer and perform low level set in shape and just delete everything. You can use a tool like this and after doing this put back and try to install the original recovery image using the recovery disk.

    In the past I ve never had these problems, but I think it's the best way to remove all the viruses or malicious applications.
    Test it and thanks for posting comments.
