Satellite M200 does not start after the RAM 4 GB upgrade

Hello

I recently updated my RAM just to speed things up a bit as RAM is so cheap these days.
I have a MEAC M200 T2130 Vista with 1 GB sticks (2 * 512).

The new sticks are 2 * 2 GB Dane - elec DDR2 pc2-5300, when I put the two and restarted the hard drive light came briefly and then it is just options BIOS of Idol, no POST.

I tried to use a single stick of 512 MB with two new sticks and they both work in a 2.5 GB configuration just not together that also this only works when the stick of 512 is in internal housing and not vice versa.

So if someone has had a similar prob or can give me some advice that would be great, I'm not sure if the motherboard can support 4 GB?
Thank you, Dave.

Hello

There are two possibilities why your M200 doesn't not start after upgrading RAM.
First the RAM installed may be not compatible or could be faulty or the computer laptop doesn't support 4 GB of RAM.

I put t know what M200 do you have exactly, but you can check the installed chipset and could check on the Intel page if this chipset would support 4 GB of RAM.

Welcome them

    Thanks for your time,

    You have this problem if you use modules or only the new module?

    If you only use the new module, the case is clear. The new module is defective or is not compatible with the laptop.
    I think you should get back on the computer dealer and request a new. Maybe you can get a Kingston module because I have only good experience with this production.

    If you use both modules, they are not compatible. You should only use the modules with the same specifications.

  • Satellite A100 does not start after the BIOS update

    Hello

    I downloaded the update to the bios toshiba A100 PSAA8 on the toshiba site and applied using the procedure of updating the bios from windows XP MSE. Restart after the start of the update stopped at the toshiba start screen.

    At startup the screen by pressing ESC watch text mode. The message indicated it confirms the update of the bios version. POST messages are:

    _________________________
    Genuine Intel CPU
    No TPM or TPM has problem
    1015 M system RAM passed

    Press to enter in SETUP
    _________________________

    Pressing F2 just clears the last message in line and then no change is found.

    The laptop comes with windows XP media center edition. I don't know why the TPM secure is enabled. It is possible that toshiba is available with the module of TPM enabled in bios updates that logbook. If this is the case, they must clearly identified as 'not applicable' upgrade for machines that are not relevant.

    I found similar messages around the forum without convincing answer.

    Is it possible to fix this without sending? Even if it turns out to be affordable, it make much sense to pay for the problems caused by toshiba.

    Hello

    Please don t blame someone for you mistakes ;)
    As far as I know that only a few sets of laptops come with TPM.
    If you want to do an update of the BIOS on the models at TPM, you will need to contact the ASP!

    Looks like you used a bad BIOS or bad BIOS update procedure.

    The Toshiba page a BISO update the documentation that describes how to upgrade the BIOS on each series laptop!
    You will find on the page of the Toshiba driver compatible BIOS and information over a large number of details!

    > Is it possible to fix this without sending
    Don t think so, and therefore, you will need to contact the Asp help!

    Good luck

  • Satellite L350 - does not start after the BIOS update

    Hello

    I recently (yesterday) downloaded the latest version of bios update dated dated 25/02/10 2: 20 - WIN, after download and does run the software from the laptop immediately stopped working and stop. I am now no longer able to boot up the laptop at all, all I get is the power light on and the hard disk light flashes, I hear the spinning CD/DVD drive, but what is not screen anything, I don't think this is the start.

    Is there a way to fix this without taking it to a store/engineer, BIOS recovery?

    The laptop is a Satellite L350, I opened the laptop to try to reset the CMOS by removing the card mother battery (not sure if it would have helped), but as much as I know it doesn't have an or I'm not.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Andy

    Hi Andy,.

    Hmm... If the BIOS update failed, you can't do anything because only an authorized service provider has professional diagnostic and recovery tools to redo an update.

    So in my opinion, you must contact a service provider authorized in your country. Get in touch with the guy and ask for help. They will tell you what to do now.

    Here is their list:

  • Satellite L30 does not start after the upgrade to 2 GB of memory

    I bought 2 GB Crucial memory for my L30. After removing the 512 MB module and adding two modules of 1 GB the L30 wouldn't start. With only 1 GB start ok ok, with the other boot only 1 GB.

    Either 1 GB modules and module of 512 MB with start ok. The two modules of 1 GB boot not together. Crucial gave up and offered a full refund, but I'd rather have a solution if possible.

    At the BIOS level is 2V30, that I understand to be the latest version available.

    Ideas please, John

    Hello

    You're right, this problem seems very strange and I wonder why this happens.
    Satellite L30 certainly supports the 2 GB of memory and you should be able to upgrade with 2 x 1024Mo modules!

    It's strange, but it seems that these two modules are not compatible together
    I found Toshiba recommend module on options and accessories site.
    DDR2 400/533 1 GB (PA3411U-1M1G) maybe you could try this one...

    In any case, I don't think that you will be able to solve this problem in another way. The modules must be replaced.

    Hi Scott,.

    Unfortunately there is no easy way for you to go to your BIOS to its previous level. You need to entrust your laptop to a Service approved partner who has the necessary equipment to Flash the BIOS to the previous level.

  • Satellite A300 does not start after the installation of the anti-virus

    Hello

    I brought a Satellite A300 today and loaded it up and it was fine.
    I uninstalled the google toolbar, office and land it came preinstalled with also the mcafree anti virus.
    So I could install my own anti virus.

    After that the system asked me to restart my pc I did.
    Since then, the system cross the 'Please wait' screen
    But it won't let me boot into safe mode. I tried a system restore.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    To me, it seems that you 3rd party antivirus software caused this strange and confusing problem the Vista OS installed.

    In my eyes a simply, new installation of operating system using the Toshiba Recovery disk would solve this problem.

    If you are able to start the operating system in safe mode and then try to remove your installed Antivirus software, then clean the registry and operating system using the free tool called CCLeaner and try to start the laptop again.

    Maybe it helps you too

    Thank you

    Hello, Neil

    In General when the BIOS is screwed up you need professional help and you should contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help.

  • Satellite A100 does not start after the wrong Bios Update

    Yesterday, I upgraded my BIOS of 1.90 to 2.20 for VISTA... now, apparently, I downloaded the BIOS bad a100 to my A100 (PAAS...)

    Now the computer turn on (no display) then a few seconds later stops offshore and turns on again (without interruption), I am under warranty (and the computer is in the store) but I was wondering what to do if Toshiba is not honor the warranty?

    Thank you very much for your help!

    Hello

    I'm sorry to say, but it seems that you don't have the choice.
    You can ask him authorized partner in your country for the help that I know, BIOS update errors are not covered by a warranty and you will have to pay a small fee for fixing.

  • Computer does not start after the screen of the bios, Compaq Presario SR1023WM

    Ok. Trying to fix a friend's computer and seem to have met a strange barrier.

    Problem: The computer does not start after the bios screen.

    Details: When you turn on the computer, the compaq logo with intel inside is and has the < F1 Setup > and < F10 System Recovery > options listed as well.  And that's it as far as the computer becomes.  After that the computer just locked up, no work of buttons on the keyboard lights keyboard ect ect.  I tried the puree on the F1 key, as soon as I turn on the computer and I can handle so he can say * entering setup * but it freezes again after this point.  I already tried to eliminate the possible sources of the problem, removed all expansion cards, HDD and Dvd Rom module only disconnected, only memory (256 MB ddr 2700), power, vga and keyboard connected.  Ive also used the jumper on the motherboard to clear the cmos, hoping that would solve the problem without success.  I tried using a different memory stick and different memory as well...  Tried to use both a ps2 and a usb keyboard... Ive even tried pulling the rider for the protection of the bios password (even if she did not have a password on it, just try everything I can think of).

    The installed bios version is 3.1, and that's all that I know on the computer at this point, except that the website tells me to him.

    I'm basically at a loss on this one, so if someone feels scroll line-by-line of their brains on this one, I'd be very happy.

    I have a pretty strong understanding of computer repair, so feel free to give me something to try.

    If you need more information out of me, let me know as well.

    Try to clear the CMOS again but this time remove CMOS battery and hold the power button on a few seconds. Replace the battery, then try to start back to the top.

    1. computer does not start after the Windows XP logo window
    2 works well in safe mode, even connect to the external monitor
    3. I reinstalled xp many times, problem stil exist.

    All the answers?

    Hi dhanushm,

    1. What happens after the Windows logo screen?
    2. You receive an error message?
    3. You have security software installed on the computer?
    4. Have you performed an installation clean Windows XP and even after that this problem exists?

    Method 1

    As the computer starts up fine in safe mode there is a possibility that some third-party programs installed on the computer is the origin of the problem.

    I suggest that you configure the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See section to learn more about how to clean boot.

    I have a HP Slimline s7410
    XP Home Edition SP3
    I had Norton free with Comcast, but since I have no more Comcast became Norton expired. So I uninstalled Norton and installed the free version of Avira, he scanned the computer and it was clean. I went to reboot and now it does not start.
    I have a cd/dvd drive of work.
    I don't have an XP bootable installation CD

    My system worked well until: I installed the free version of Avira

    Whenever I select one on the XP advanced options options menu start, it goes into a boot loop.
    I turn off the auto reboot system failure although it seems only work once, as the next time he's trying to start up it goes into the boot loop.

    Here's what my BSOD looks like:

    Disable or uninstall any anti-virus, disk defragmentation or backup utilities. Check the configuration of your hard drive and check the updated drivers. Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your computer.

    Any help is greatly appreciated! :)

    My first suggestion is to do a system restore at this time point.

    second suggestion is to keep your external drive connected to the pc at all times.  only detach when necessary.   of course, it would be better to install a second hard drive in the computer instead.   in any case, keep your personal files out of the system disk is a wise thing to do.   You can also download and store files for free on the Microsoft Skydrive site.

    third suggestion is to keep your system set upward through executing a check disk and Defrag at least once a month.   Basically, you can open the Explorer and right-click on the drive letter.  then select Properties, and on the Tools tab, you will have the opportunity to run the disk check.  then reboot and do a Defrag.   where this disk check fails, then you will need to run it to the drive via a bootable cd prompt.

    Interestingly, I don't know if the bootable cd that you made you allows to run the disk check.

    so my suggestion is to do a series of tests using your cd bootable your computer works.  see if you can actually run a chkdsk/r at the moment with them.    If Yes, then if your constant worries are having bad sectors on the hard disk, chkdsk/r will identify and mark so windows will jump on them.    in any case, see if your boot at the moment media can run a check disk at all, and let me know.

    fifth proposal is to install "microsoft security essentials" like your anti virus program.  even if you have run ubantu, it is not likely to have been an infected copy.   anti - are most critical virus for windows and not not so much for ubantu or linux is because windows is a system of world class operations.    the people who make the virus deliberately their engineer for the windows operating system.   If, however, ubantu and linux have been just as popular as Windows, virus engineers would make infections for the o.s. too.     Although they no doubt, attacks are more frequent for the windows os.
