• Re: 8 GB Ram did NOT work in the Qosmio X 300 - 14 p

  Hello

  I wanted to spend my Qosmio X 300 - 14 p of Ram of 4 GB (2 x 2 GB) up to 8 GB (2 x 4 GB).

  I ordered a fitting 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) the value of Atelco, where this set of 8 GB costs 155,-Euro
  (while in the shops in thoshiba 4 GB is more than 300, - means 8 GB more than 600,-, ridiculous). :

  I ordered this one:
  8 GB - Kit Corsair ValueSelect SO-DIMM PC3 - 8500S CL7

  This was exactly the necessary RAM, 2 x 2 GB, still are the same.

  PROBLEM:
  the x 300 wouldn't start when 8 GB of ram are connected
  (same tzhen does not start, screen stays black and nothing happens (you don't hear departure of fans and hard drives etc.)).

  the merchant first thought, the qosmio is reserved to the maximum of 4 GB completely, but I was able to convince him that this is not true.
  then he assumed "branding" (only some modules work).

  but it was also not true, because the two modules to 4 GB worked when connected only.
  the two modules worked in places, housing upper and lower.

  even weirder: I could plugin 1 x 4 GB and 1 x 2 GB and it would start perfectly and appear 6 GB (6144 MB).
  He has also worked in any combination (any module in any location).

  My bios is 2.10, the latest toshiba provides.

  the dealer said the corsair modules are good modules that work everywhere else, and as we have seen, only two of them worked (and in the combination of 6 GB: 1 x 4 GB + 1 x 2 GB).

  the question now is: WHY it did not work with 8 GB (2 x 4 GB).
  ================================================

  every time we tried, screen remained black and nothing happened, qosmio was dead.

  We also have not found any bios setting, as the manual does not say something like that.

  someone has an idea what is the reason and
  what I could do to get 8 GB to work in X 300 - 14 p (PQ32E...)?

  both modules where the good, the two worked alone in any accommodation, only two 4 GB modules would not work either.

  BTW., it was packed like a 8 GB SET (in modules of 2 x 4 GB), they had the same series and were made to work together.

  Finally, we were out of ideas.

  is this a known issue?
  is there a tweak or workaround?

  I want my 8 GB, what can I do to make it work?

  everyone there uses the x 300 - 14 p with 8 GB (or even another 300 x)?

  help appreciated.

  Thank you

  It is not just to write this review in your last posting. You should be happy that Akuma has spent his time chatting with you and try to offer an own opinion.

  If you want the real answer contact Toshiba service and clarify this point with the professionals. If you n t as offered here answers, maybe you'll like have professional opinion and exact explanation, what can be the problem.

  Is that each RAM module will not work with every model laptop and there is a problem of cheap product and problem is compatibility.
  Many people have reported that in the past, report you it now and I do not know in the future, we will have several similar messages here.

  So, what's your problem now?
  You want to have good workbook or you are focused on saving your money?

  I checked the specification for the Qosmio x 300 - 14 p and you can confirm that you can improve up to 8 GB. Toshiba recommends using 4 GB modules compatible with the PA3377U-1M4G part number. This module has been tested and it will work. You can also buy the Kingston high quality module. It also works.

  To be honest, I never heard of Corsair. I only use Kingston.

• Re: Satellite A300-243 - updated after the BIOS, it did not work

  Dear members...

  Good day...

  I have a problem with Toshiba Satellite A300-243, I installed the Bios after you download from Toshiba Web site, and when it's over, he restarted the machine and did not work, just turned on.

  So if any body can help me to solve this problem, I'm happy.

  Thank you...

  Hello

  It looks like that the BIOS update has no...

  What can you do now?
  Yourself you can do nothing. The only change is the authorized service provider. Technicians can try to reflash the ROM module

  Sorry mate, but in this case you need professional help.

• Satellite P100: 5-in-1 reader with XD but not working with SD cards

  Hello

  I have a problem with my satellite P100, the 5-in-1 reader successfully read SD and XD cards, but since 3 days ago (no upgrade, or any new software), it still works perfectly well for XD cards, but no more for SD cards. When I insert an XD card, I get a drive letter, with an SD card and tried several other different, nothing happens, as if they did not exist.

  I am running Win2k server, and the problem started about 3 days ago.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  How about the update driver?
  As suggested go to Device Manager, select the card reader and reinstall the driver.
  What you can do, is also to remove it from the Device Manager and after new OS restart, the drive should be recognized again.
  In this case, the driver must be initialized again. Check it out.

  Another question. Have you used the option remove? Usually if you want to remove the card or disconnect the USB device you should use first remove it safely and then you can remove the card from the slot. Don t forget.

• Satellite P100-221: nVidia driver from Toshiba site does not work

  PLEASE PUT THE RIGHT VIDEO FOR SATELLITE P100-221 DRIVER!

• Satellite P100-324 - GPU overheating due to fan does not work in the operating system

  Hello world.

  While trying to solve the problem of RAM of 4 GB ([this thread | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=28374&tstart=0]), I meet another weird thing - gpu overheating due to fan does not work in the operating system.

  Now, I restored the XP MCE using the Toshiba Recovery and I was VERY surprised to see that the problem still exists! As soon as loading the system GPU fan stops, and there is only tranquility. The application load is heavy on GPU and reaching 104 results by reducing its GPU and MEMORY clock values and NOT in the activation of the fan.

  The same thing happens in 64-bit gentoo. ACPI can be turned on or off, it is not serious, the GPU fan always dies as soon as the system load. In non-OS environments (bios, program of recovery, etc.) the fan works fine, GPU cooling from time to time.

  This problem occurs in versions of BIOS: 2.40, 4.00, 4.20.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated, since this laptop is my main working tool and I can't let go 14 days (service).

  I saw in your other thread that you have updated the BIOS and you have installed several different OS.

  Fact is that the BIOS v 4.2 package contains BIOS 32-bit and 64-bit OS.
  Your laptop has been preloaded with Win XP MCE 32 bit. Please use the 32-bit BIOS if the original XP MCE running on the laptop.

  Best regards

• Satellite P100-221: DVD Super Multi DL drive does not work properly

  Hello world!!!

  the problem is that one day I inserted my CD - RW in drive, launched Nero but failed to remove any previously saved data of him cause I couldn't push the button 'clean' (sorry, not sure he's called this version in English).

  In my computer, where all readers are collected, in the context menu for my drive I couldn't find option to erase the disk. In the properties of the label record disappered (label where I could mark the box: Alow CD recording).

  I also tried to burn many Cd - R with nero, I recorded using multisession with a small amount of data, but after this, I was not able to record something on their cause, they have all been closed and developed, too, I told nero ot not to develop.

  Maybe someone can help me, I don't want to reinstall windows.

  Hello

  I think that this is not a drive problem but possible it s more a configuration issue between Nero and second burning software.

  I think on many laptops Toshiba sound recording has now been installed.
  This software can be used for disc erasing and finalization.

  Please check the application.
  I put t don't know if this helps but maybe when you remove the sound recording now Nero does not improve.

• Satellite P10 - 554 dvd - ram does not work

  I got a Satellite P10 554, and as I said above the RAM does not work.
  It should be a software problem, because if I reinstall the drivers it works a few minutes (it did until now yesterday it stopped completely)
  It is impossible to install the new drivers or update a firmware somehow
  (pilot: after rebooting, the old drivers are loaded again (but I uninstalled them))
  (firmware update: I still got the message: invalid drive to update f/w)

  I hope that someone of you can help me ;)

  Hello

  What did you mean with the work of t car doesn?
  You are not able to burn or read the media?

  The error message says it all. I think you re not able to update the firmware because the firmware is not supported on this drive.

  Try to remove the drive from Device Manager, and then shut down the laptop.
  Usually after restarting again the operating system should recognize the drive again.
  If this does not help, you can try to remove the drive from the laptop. Turn on the unit, then go into windows. The reader should disappear. Then stop and reset the drive in the notebook. After this procedure the laptop must load the firmware again.

  It will be useful.

• Satellite P100-277 by clicking on adapter and do not start

  My Satellite P100 does strange things. First it does not start at the top (the first time after it has switched mode all of a sudden, the second time, it's just did not start at the beginning of sleep), unless I removed the battery for an hour, and second the adapter makes a clicking sound when it is on the electronic card. Help! Who has an answer to this problem.

  Hello

  I don't think that the technician can help you
  What do you think???

  You said that the AC adapter makes strange noises?
  The adapter is maybe defective and dysfunctions and this may affect the functionality of the laptop

• Satellite P300D - 12L: Enter key did not work in games like FIFA, NFS

  Hi all!

  I own a laptop Tshiba Satellite P300D - 12 L.
  In the last month, I got Win XP 32-bit installed and it became a strange problem: the Enter key did not work in games like FIFA, NFS, but in others, and in the office, it worked normal applications.

  A few days ago, I installed Win 7 64 bit and now I have the same problem.

  Recently I went to my local Toshiba service and they told me, about this problem, it's a software issue, so I changed my OS.

  Anyone know what I can do to solve my problem?

  Thank you

  Hello

  You mean the Enter key works in common applications such as Internet Explorer, Windows Explorer, or some editors correctly?
  Only these few games are troubled?

  Hmm that's strange
  You use the latest version of the BIOS?
  If this isn't the case, then update it!
  You can find the latest version of the BIOS on the European driver Toshiba page

• Satellite A200 - restore factory setting did not work

  Tried to restore my Satellite A200 to 'out of the box settings', but it did not work.

  It comes up with the message to put in the windows installation disc, so I put in the recovery disc, but nothing is happening outside the laptop suddenly turn off!

  Its windows vista.
  Any ideas anyone? x

  > It comes up with the message to put in the windows installation disc.
  Description of your problem is a little confusing.
  When you want to install the recovery using recovery DVD image, you must boot from this DVD and not wait for some message that tells you to insert the recovery disk.

  Follow these steps:
  # Turn on your laptop, press F12 to get into the boot menu
  # When the start menu is displayed on the screen put the recovery DVD in the optical disc drive
  # In the start menu, choose the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER. This will force ODD to run as first boot device.
  # Follow the menu on the screen.

  When you see option for recovery just language confirm with NEXT and continue the installation of recovery.

• Satellite P100 (PSPAOC-O6XO2C) - can I upgrade RAM?

  Is this possible with my model?

  I want to load Dragon Naturally Speaking Preferred 10 and 1 GB of Ram needed. I only have 512.

  Noella salvation,

  Of course you can upgrade the RAM. As far as I know that Satellite P100 can be upgraded up to 4 GB of RAM. For example, you could buy two modules with 1 GB of capacity. Then you have a maximum of 2 GB of RAM.

  You can buy new RAM modules where you want, but I have good experiences with the Kingston modules. I always use them to improve my books because I never had a problem with them.

• Satellite P100-487: problem with audio drivers for Windows XP Home 3.11.0.51 - entered

  Hello

  I have problem with this audio drivers 3.11.0.51. The problem is that the output works perfectly but there is no entry.

  When can I expect from the good work on Toshiba support drivers?

  My way to have entry and exit works well is: first install 3.11.0.51 drivers from Toshiba site to install Support Intel 3.14.0.50 and do not restart after the installation. It's hard because every time when I restart the PC I have to for this making begin.

  Anyone have the same problem and found another job drivers?

  Thank you

  HI Supportneeded,

  You gave me the trick with the driver to resolve the problem in the next restart.
  And I replied to your thread Thursday evening at 20:30. Ask you Toshiba phone when we can expect new drivers. (I have a Satego P100-10F) I added a complaint of litte that Toshiba should also support a 'old' OS like XP. And after that at 21:00 the detachment was completely absent.

  Anyway, I tested some drivers of other manufacturers and other Chipsetdrivers, still the same problem.
  the sound with this material does not work on XP due to a rather bad.

  Of course, toshiba brings out a new driver that will feature at the end of February, but now it is March and I see nothing. (stop: a new driver for Windows Vista is online since yesterday)
  I had it installed on xp and the sound is completely down. Whether in - or output.

  you already called toshiba support when they expect our problems?

  Greetings

• Satellite P100 - DVD burner and reader of SD card not recognized by Vista

  Hello everyone,

  I have improved my P100 of Xp to Vista and I can't make my DVD burner and my reder of SD (embeded to the laptop of course!) work.

  I can read CDs or DVDs, but I can't burn a DVD.
  My SD card reader in my device list but not appear in my browser!

  Even more, a 'mass storage' appears as not porperly installed but I have no reference on which device refer to the. Not to mention, I tried several times to install the utilities on the site Web of Toshiba sd but it didn't change anything...

  What laptop Satellite P100-xxx you have exactly?
  The number of extensions and model number would be very useful for further study

  Anyway. to get the card SD works in most cases you need to install the Flash Media driver
  In addition, it would be very interesting to know what SD card do you use.

  With regard to the Vista DVD burning issue;
  How have you tried to burn the DVD? Did you use special software to burn like Nero for example?
  Have you used different DVDs from different manufacturers of DVD?

  From my experience, it would be possible that the player manages all DVD. You try different DVD from different manufacturers. I had a good experience with TDKs

• Satellite P100: Why the graphics card Nvidia 7900 is not available in the United Kingdom?

  Why nvidia 7900 GPUs is not available in the p100 to the United Kingdom? Europe & Middle East the 7900gs is available in the continent. The 7900 gtx in the States is available.

  Why?

  Hello

  I put t believe that it of not possible to buy a P100 with the graphics card Nvidia 7900 to the United Kingdom. If you can't buy it forms mobile phone dealer in your city, so I'd check the shops online cell phone.
  I studied a little bi and found these P100 units with the graphic card nVidia 7900.

  Satellite P100-426; P100-194; P100-191; P100-196; P100-215; P100-222

  I found three different cards which were delivered with the P100:
  NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900; GeForce Go 7600 and Intel 945GM Express

  Anyway, the P100 is a new laptop and eventually you can't buy it in every store, but in my opinion several times this unit should be available in the United Kingdom with the GeForce Go 7900
