• Satellite P100-160 (PSPAAE-01D00UEN) - upgrade processor

  I currently have a Satellite P100-160 part number: PSPAAE-01D00UEN. Is it possible to upgrade the processor in this machine, I find it very slow in the graphics work I do.

  Any other suggestions as to speed up the machine would be greatly received.

  Thank you

  Ian

  Hi IanGreen,

  A CPU upgrade is not possible, or let s say not supported. All that is supported is the preinstalled Toshiba CPU. If you want another CPU, sometimes at your own risk. Probably the motherboard, BIOS or chipset is not able to handle this or the cooling module is not good enough for faster CPU

  Anyway, your laptop is not the most recent, and if you need more performance, you should look for a new model ;)

• Satellite P100-160 and memory upgrade

  I have a P100-160 with 2 GB of memory installed.
  I use Win7 (32 bit) and do some really serious graphics, and management changes.
  I use about 2.75 TB of hard drives (USB).

  Can you get it someone please let me know if I could reasonably expect to see an improvement in the performance and reliability by increasing the installed memory.

  Other (other than buying a new laptop) suggestions for performance improvement would be welcome.

  Thank you

  Ian

  If you are happy with this old piece of hardware you n t need new laptop computer. Upgrade of RAM is OK and you can do it alone. According to tender specifications that your P100 can be upgraded up to 4 GB of RAM.

  Compatible memory modules for your Satellite are:
  1 GB (PA3411U-2M1G)
  2 GB (PA3513U-1M2G)

  If you have any other questions you are welcome.

  I formatted my laptop about a month ago and have already 15 blue screen errors, my memory is ok, I let my phone update of its self.

  Please help me, I'm thinking that it my motherboard, but I'm not an expert, when its not to crash it works very well, had a few other problems.

  Sorry, it's really long to read but I don't know what to do, thank you

  Hi Sarah,.

  I suggest formatting again and see what happens. You have also all updates installed (Vista SP1 if you are running Vista or XP SP3 if you're running XP?).

  Hope this helps

• Satellite P100 - 160 PSPAAE Vista: all my Toshiba Utilities stopped working

  All of my Toshiba Utilities stopped working.
  Message appears saying "* stopped working" windows is looking for a solution.

  It was after that updates have been installed in the correct order as posted earlier in the forum. Not only the value added package configfree as well as PC diagnosis, etc.

  I have a Satellite P100 - 160 PSPAAE under Vista Home Premium.

  Any ideas? I think that perhaps is McAfee Security Center has something to do with it.

  Hello

  I suggest the following: recover your machine and update tools and drivers again. I don't know if McAfee is the cause of your problem, but if a system is broken on the software side, then, among the most popular and useful actions is to restore the system, and then being happy when it works again.

  Would appreciate comments on your success.

  As you can see the BIOS, see the two sticks of 2 GB, but it also shows that the BIOS supports only 3 GB of RAM? Would it not possible to Flash my motherboard with the firmware of another model of laptop computer? Or is there a BIOS update in the near future that will allow me to make use of my full 4 GB of RAM?

  Hello

  Normally, the Satellite P100-160 supports 4 GB of RAM. If you check the user manual, you can find this information it can be upgraded to 4 GB of RAM with two 2 GB memory modules.

  Just a question: how much will be shown in the BIOS directly? He acknowledges the full 4 GB of RAM?

  And don t forget you can only use 4 GB of RAM with a 64 bit OS. If you use 32-bit OS, you can only use up to 3.2 GB of RAM.
  Have you installed Linux 64-bit version?

• Satellite P100 - 160 PSPAAE: Question on the driver installation instructions

  Hello.

  I recently bought a P100-160 model PSPAAE with Vista pre-installed. Like many others, I had no choice with the OS and my experience so far has left me wanting to go back to XP.

  I found the page of appropriate support for the drivers (I guess I have to use the drivers for the PSPAA) and read the instruction sheet that comes with them. There are some questions I want answered before I start on this particular cliff.

  The guidelines mention the SD card Format utility, but I see no mention of one in the list of drivers. It is included in one of the other drivers or is it not found elsewhere?

  Why the Sun Java Runtime Environment is necessary?

  I guess if my machine has no Bluetooth or Infra-red that I didn't need to load the drivers.

  Thanks in advance if anyone is able to help.

  Kind regards

  John

  Hi John, I recently went through the same process and after a few attempts, settled on the following as a reasonable XP installation (I don't need all that other stuff):

  Satellite Pro P100 (PSPAEA)

  Chipset: Mobile Intel (r) 945 PM Express Chipset
  Memory controller: 82945 PM
  I/o Controller: Intel (r) 82801GBM i/o controller hub (ICH7M)

  What I installed...

  03 - display Driver
  04 chipset Driver
  05 - network - upgrade Ethernet driver
  06 - network wireless driver
  09 - sound Driver
  10 - driver CardBus controller with UltraMedia
  12 - modem Driver
  13 - modem region Select utility
  14 Bluetooth Stack
  15 - Bluetooth monitor
  17 Hotkey Utility
  21 - SD Secure Module
  22 - SD memory card format
  28. DVD-RAM driver software
  33 user manual
  TOSHIBA fingerprint digital-software (from Vista drivers)
  TOSHIBA-disk-Creater (from Vista drivers)

  What I do not installed...

  01 - Microsoft Updates (I used Windows Update to do this)
  02. Sun Java Runtime Environment
  07. customer Intel utility
  08 Atheros Client Utility
  11 - touch pad Driver
  16 - C - infrared driver
  18 YPP/power button Utility
  19 utilities
  20 - buttons
  23 - assist
  24 - ConfigFree
  25 - zoom utility
  26 PC Diagnostic Tool
  27 CD/DVD Drive Acoustic Silencer
  29 WinDVD Creator
  30 - RecordNow
  31 DLA
  32 - DVD player

  Note: for 05 - pilot network to install correctly, I had to upgrade the Device Manager ethernet controller.

  The numbers relate to roughly the original installation instructions. I do not pretend that it's the perfect installation, only one who appears to be stable and suitable for my purposes...

  With respect to the SD memory card Format driver, I found it somewhere, but I don't remember where (sorry). It has the following file name, even if once extracted (ToshibaSDMemoryCardFormat_v2100A.exe).

  Hope this helps and please post your results as it is good to share their experiences.

  PS one of the biggest advantage I found was much better video support nVidia for Vista drivers were not very good and assured por.

• Satellite P100 - 429 (PSPA3E) memory upgrade to 4 GB

  I have 2 GB of Ram at the moment and would like to 4 GB is possible, accept the Bios and I run Windows Vitsa Home Edition.

  Hello

  I googled a bit and found some information s
  It seems that the Satellite P100-429 supports the 4 GB of RAM.
  The Intel® 945 PM Express chipset, which is installed in this notebook supports 4 GB to 400, 533 and 667 MHz

  So, theoretically, you might be able to pass to 4 GB of RAM.

  But note; If you are using Vista 32-bit, then the OS will see only 3.2 GB

  To get full access 4 GB of RAM, you will need the 64-bit Windows OS.

• Satellite 3000 - X 11: memory upgrade question

  I have a Satelite S3000 - X 11 that I upgraded to 512 MB of RAM (2x256mb modules) more a 80 GB HD to 5 400 rpm Hitachi.
  It works fine, but it sometimes run out of memory physics. According to the Toshiba spec for this machine, it should take 1 024 MB of memory, but everywhere I look (including Crucial) said that 512 MB is the max.
  I found a few modules of 512 MB of the right type, but they won't work?

  Hello

  I agree with danydemaeseneire.
  This site of add-on memory confirms the info;
  http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=14194&ft=m&St=3

  Satellite 3000 - X 11 handles max 512 MB and you can use the modules SODIMM PC133 144 pins

• Satellite P100 - 160 PSPAAE - recovery disk does not work

  Hello

  My problem is that when I used the restore disk provided with the laptop it froze the computer when he was to "expand our files (0%). »
  I thought that drive was defective, so bought a new drive of Toshiba (£30) but get the same error.
  Machine is now starts rained because the recovery disks erased the hard drive before freezing.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you

  Hello

  To be honest, this is the first time I see this error
  I doubt that the recovery disk is defective or the drive HARD because as you say it was possible to install Win XP on this laptop

  I would recommend formatting the HARD drive again to erase all partitions and format the HARD drive using the Win XP disc. Then take the recovery disk and try to reinstall the new Vista operating system

• Satellite P100 - 160 (PSPAAE) - conflict of resources on how to start message

  For awhile, I had severe performance with this laptop problems. It takes 20 minutes to turn on.

  When he started gives 3 messages in the startup routine:
  ERROR: Conflict of resources-controller BUS series PCI on the motherboard. Bus: 0a, device: 04, function: 01
  ERROR: Conflict of resources-on the motherboard PCI mass storage controller. Bus: 0a, device: 04, function: 02
  ERROR: Conflict of resources-PCI on the motherboard. Bus: 0a, device: 04, function: 03

  Press F1 to resume F2 to Setup

  I tried the re-installation of the recovery disk, formatting the hard drive and all from scratch. I also updated the BIOS
  The end result seems to be that the startup still takes time, with the same messages, but once started the performance is improved.

  These devices appear in device and the warnings of problem management.

  Any thoughts on how to solve it please

  Help please

  Hello!

  It looks like there's something wrong BIOS or maybe hardware

  Have you also tried to reset the BIOS to default settings?

  I think that the recovery disc can t solve this problem because it appears after the current load to run BIOS. This means that in the worst case you have to go to an ASP and ask a technician for help.

• Re: Satellite P100-160 - failed display driver installation

  Satellite P100-160, PSPAAE, 32-bit vista.

  Today, Aero is not working and not available in graphics properties. Later installed the site of Toshiba UK, 15.0.1.1114 Intel display driver. This version was actually older than my current driver but I thought that maybe she was the only availabel that it must be correct.

  The driver installation failed with an error (no details don't just "year error has occurred"). Now, I don't have aero and my screen resolution cannot be set above 1280 x 800 - 1440 x 900 is expected

  To say that I'm pisseed would be an understatement. Can anyone help? Thank you

  Hey,.

  If Aero is not available I think that it s display driver problem

  In any case, did you remove the old display driver before installing a new? Go to Device Manager > right click on the graphics card > uninstall. After the restart the display driver must be uninstalled and you can start with the display driver installation.

  If you install drivers make sure you are logged in as administrator and antivirus/firewall is disabled. Reboot once again and you should be able to choose the native screen resolution now.

• Satellite P100-160: Question about upgrade HARD drive

  Hello

  I would replace the internal hard drive to a larger size, but I don't know who is compatible.
  Here is a link to dabs where they have 5 hard drives, but not sure if they will work.

  Would be nice to get some tips on this thanks.
  I have a Satellite P100-160 that currently has a 120 GB hard drive, it is not enough!

  http://www.dabs.com/ProductList.aspx?&NavigationKey=11154&NavigationKe y = 50540 & key = 40970000 & CategorySelectedId = 11154 & PageMode = 1

  Hello

  I downloaded the user manual for this laptop from the Toshiba page and it says that you can use the 160 GB HARD drive.
  I think that he n t be a problem to use a bigger like 200 HDD or 250 GB.

  Sat P100 supports a SATA HDD controller and you should therefore use the HARD drive 2.5 SATA.

• Questions about changing OS from Vista to XP on Satellite P100-160

  Hello

  I wonder if someone could help me... I don't like Windows Vista with a passion and I would much change for Windows XP.

  My P100-160 provided with Windows Vista pre-installed, but until now I feel of it is poor to say the least! So I'd like to return the easy to use Windows XP.

  Could you get it someone please let me know if there is something special I have to do in order to get XP to run properly. I've been reading through some of the questions on the forums on this topic, but want a nice simple step 1, step 2, etc. to ensure that I do the things first.

  Thanks in advance for any assistance received.

  Best regards

  Yvonne

  Hello

  You need description step by step? Come on man :)

  Do everything simply if you want to install the XP. During the installation of XP, you will need to format the HARD disk, partition to install XP on the laptop.
  Then, after the installation of the OS, you could install the drivers of Toshiba which can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page.

  Please note that you need XP compatible drivers! As far as I know that the Satellite P100-160 belongs to the PSPAAE series. So please choose this one if you download the drivers.

  In addition, you will need to install drivers in the correct order. Placed on the Toshiba page installation instructions could be very useful!

  Best regards

  Goodbye ;)
