Satellite Pro A300 PSAG9C-01500Y - FSB question

Hello, I was wondering if someone could give me some advice on the modernization may be my new [Satellite Pro A300 PSAG9C-01500Y | http://www.toshiba.ca/web/product.grp?lg=en§ion=1&group=1&product=8270&p art = 8813 #spectop] a different model.

I do not use this system for games or anything like that, for most 2007 Office, web browsing, media and programs such as Photoshop and Dreamweaver. Nothing too high end.

My model has 800 MHz, but after looking at a few different models, I see that for $100 or more, I can get more speed FSB (1066 MHz) as the model [PSAG9C-01J00Y | http://www.toshiba.ca/web/product.grp?lg=en§ion=1&group=1&product=8270&p art = 9131 #spectop] which has a little faster CPU as well.

One of the things that I noticed also is the max for my system Ram is 8 GB and most of the others are only 4 GB. I will not use 64-bit windows, so it is not serious anyway.

Mainly, I would like to know if it is worth worrying about the FSB. I get how BSF works and what it does, I'm not sure if I need to worry about this.

Any advice or suggestions are welcome.

Thanks in advance,

Hello

In your case, the speed of the FSB is not really important if you want to use your laptop only for Office 2007, web browsing or Web design.
The higher FSB is useful if you want to use the memory high performance with higher speed.
For example; you have bus 533 Mhz front and memory 800 MHz that was wrong with 800 Mhz memory modules because the lower FSB would slow the speed of the memory modules.

But as I said a higher FSB is not really important if you don t use the laptop for high end games.

    Hello

    There are several questions and perhaps the best solution for you is to install the new OS by using recovery image. I know, it's more radical but the simplest method. After 30 minutes, you must again factory settings and everything will work correctly.
    I'm sure that everything worked fine at first.

    If you want to fix this only solution is to reinstall the value-added driver package and display, and hope that this will help.

  • Satellite Pro A300 PSAG9E - Win 8 upgrade questions

    I decided to update my old Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 PSAG9E-00700TTE Vista to Windows 8.

    After two tries he has been successful. Vista made me mad, and when I decided to give my son, I wanted to work better.

    Toshiba doesn't seem to be willing to support the old models. (over 3 years).

    I can not even find this model code in the lists, the site does not seem to recognize the serial number.

    This is why all the Windows 8 upgrade tools provided are not relevant.

    I met a few minor problems before, but the Toshiba Turkey never replied messages, even those concerning the new products when I considered buying a new laptop. In the end I went for an Asus, which exceeds my expectations.

    I don't expect all support this time either, because of past experience. But I still want to try one last time.

    Is there a way to get the material in this workbook in Windows 8?

    > Is there a way to get the material in this workbook in Windows 8?

    Satellite Pro A300 is not that win 8 supported means that you will not find to win 8 drivers for this series, but of course, you can use Win 8 on this unit.

    In some cases, the municipality of Win 7 drivers would be compatible.

    Toshiba tools like VAP (value added package) to win 8 can also be used, but we must look for a Win 8 VAP released for other more recent models.

    Touchpad driver can be downloaded from the page of the Synaptics driver also other drivers like LAN or WLan can be found on chip manufacturer pages.

    Akuma wrote, all processes are needed, such as Conexant sound, Support Button and Flash cards for FN keys and illumination.

    Don t do worry about these programs, everything is ok and that they are necessary for your laptop.

    If you want to improve performance, disable other programs you don't need and defragment your HARD drive at any time.

    It came with two product recovery discs to install XP Professional.

    Given that I decided just to use XP, I followed the procedure for recovery of product and I am now running XP from the first disc. It seems to work correctly.

    Hi all.

    I have a Satellite Pro A300-1DZ system unit, model no PSAG1E-OOFOO4EN (think they are 'o' and not '0', circle with slash through it) with WXP Pro.

    I recently contracted a virus inside and as he removed, however it is not good so I want to re - install Windows XP Home edition. I backed up the computer, I have a Windows XP Home SP2 Pro edition disk and I have my product key.
    I put the CD/DVD in BIOS to run 1 drive and tells me that I can boot from the CD, I press a button and it loads the CD, select the option where to install windows.

    BUT! I can t go further than what windows does not detect the HD said he s not now, or whatever.

    My question is this: Please can someone me step by step instructions on how to reinstall XP and a link to all the drivers I need to make it work?

    PLEEASE!

    It's simple on my PC, also, please keep in mind, I am best suited for working on cars, I'm not stupid, but my calloused hands search for computers a little more difficult than Motors please not in many computer technical terms.
    I myself am the slow education in the dark arts of computers. LOL :)

    Hi jeff

    Here's your solution:
    1. go to bios with F2 when you see the toshiba start screen.
    2. Select the arrow to the left using the "Advanced".
    3 press down until you get to "SATA Controller Mode".
    4 change, using F7/F8, Chang [AHCI] setting [compatibility].
    5. make sure the CD/DVD drive is the first to start and F10 save and exit. computer restart when you are prompted to "press any key" press a button and hey presto as before windows will start the installation, but this time you won't get windows you said:

    Set up did not find Ant hard disks installed on your computer.

    Make sure any drive HARD are powered on and properly connected to your computer and any hard disk related hardware configuration is correct. This may involve running a manufacturer-supplied diagnostic or Setup program.

    implementation cannot continue press f3 to goto hell... uh I mean leaving the installation

    And you can continue on your installation of Windows XP Home edition.

    Hope I helped many other jeff's in the same boat. XD

  • Satellite Pro A300 - blue snow on screen

    After about 20 months trouble free operation, my Satellite Pro A300 has developed an intermittent failure annoyingly screen appears where a scattering of blue pixels, most noticeably on a white background. Generally any form of action (including a proverbial "click") clears the screen until the next time it happens.

    Any idea what's going on? Any help appreciated.

    > Generally any form of action (including a proverbial "click") clears the screen until the next time it happens.
    Means that they are not dead pixels or something like that in this case, it could be a graphics related issue.
    Have you tested this external monitor? Pixels appear on the second screen?
    If so, then this might be a GPU question

    But you can also check if an update of the driver can be useful of course the old driver must be uninstalled and then the new driver update must be installed.

    However, it smells like a hardware problem, so I'm not sure if a driver update that would improve

  • Satellite Pro A300-28R - shows horizontal stripes

    My Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 sometimes displays horizontal stripes making the text unreadable images before portable crushes and I have to restart. Occurs usually when I'm on the internet. Does anyone know why this happens and how to solve?
    Once I rang Toshiba UK Technical Support and a rather impatient adviser said it was a discharge of static electricity problem, but why is it not with my laptop Pavilion?

    My Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 is less than one year, but the problem occurred repeatedly. I also had to replace the power adapter already because of the cable being too steep to the piece of cylindrical shape next to the Jack. Is this all I know a question of production with this series of laptops?

    > My Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 sometimes displays horizontal stripes making the text unreadable images before portable crushes and I have to restart. Occurs usually when I'm on the internet. Does anyone know why this happens and how to solve?

    These symptoms of display can be connected to a screen, graphics card driver or the graphics chip.
    First of all, you should try to update the graphics driver and should check it again.
    Secondly if this problem would appear then you must connect an external monitor to the laptop to check if the same would be visible on the external display.
    If so, the problem could be related to the graphics chip.

    It would be the worst case, a graphics chip cannot be replaced, but the whole mobo must be replaced in order to solve such a problem.

  • Re: Satellite Pro A300-1EA - wireless connection, drop all the time

    Hi, I have a problem with my wireless connection fall all the time on my Satellite Pro A300 1EA.

    It happened earlier, but I've fiddled about a little with change of drivers and the removal of the connection settings for the registry and it then worked fine for months, until yesterday.

    There were several updates for Windows installed yesterday, but none of them have been updated driver for the wireless card, and they don't look like they should cause problems. The fact that the problem happened before makes me think that the updates can be anything to do with it.

    I use the * Intel PRO/Wireless 3945/4965/5100/5300 * for Vista 32 - bit version 12.2.0.11.3 drivers from the Toshiba download page.

    Other computers on the same access point have no problem, so I think it is specific to this laptop. The connection speed is normally 6 Mbps, but I cannot even check e-mail now without the abandonment of the connection.

    Laptop will be thrown against a wall soon if no one can help you.

    Thanks in advance.

    Edit: I've already made sure power settings are at maximum to the WLAN card, even if on battery, or what power management.

    Hello

    Have you tried to use the Windows System Restore feature? After that your WLAN should work fine again.

    In addition, I can recommend the latest WLAN driver in the Intel page, it s version 12.4.xxxx. I installed the driver on my Qosmio laptop and don t have any problems with it: [www.intel.com].

    If you have any other questions, please let us know!

  • Satellite Pro A300 1NT - Possible to upgrade to Windows 7?

    Hello.

    I intend to buy the Satellite Pro A300 1NT, but want to make sure that I can not upgrade to Windows 7 and more specifically the characteristics of touch screen.

    Thank you for taking the time to consider my question.

    Hello!

    I think that no one can say whether the Satellite A300 compatible with Windows 7.
    Windows 7 is not on the market yet, and I think it will take a few times to release.

    And Satellite A300 doesn't have a touch screen, so I think that you cannot use these features on this laptop.

    Good bye

    Hello

    I think you have already answered that question yourself...

    As you wrote that you can get all the drivers on the Toshiba site and if it isn t a newer driver available you can nothing more I think. Satellite A300 isn t a laptop of game performance so I think that the display drivers are not so important.

    The only way to obtain a more recent version, it's looking on external Web sites. Maybe you can get the desktop pilot working had some changes I put t know but really attention! Other drivers don't have protection against overheating and you could destroy the graphics chip. Be very careful of what you do.

    Alternatively, you can search on the Toshiba site for other models of laptops with ATI card too. Maybe, you can get a newer version

  • Are the keyboards of the Satellite Pro A300 and A300 Satellite the same?

    Hello

    For the moment, I am here in France, and I plan to buy a Satellite Pro A300 with a QWERTY keyboard (which is not exactly a problem for me at the moment). The problem starts when I return to my country where the layout of the keyboard is QWERTY. I intend to sell the laptop when I return (I love not hooked to a laptop computer for a very long time). The thing is that the Satellite A300 is officially sold in my country, but not the Satellite Pro A300. I wonder now if the keyboard for the A300 is compatible with the Pro A300 (looking at the discussions of the forum for older models suggest they are compatible, but I'm not completely sure).

    Can someone provide a definitive answer to this question of compatibility?

    Thank you!

    The button of keyboard layout doesn't depends on Satellite Pro or series of satellites, but of the country where the phone was purchased.

    Different countries need different keyboards button and that's why the buttons are assigned to different positions on the keyboard.

    But the keyboard itself could be used in Sat Pro or Satellite phone too.

  • Behavior of cooling after only the BIOS Flash - Satellite Pro A300

    Hello everyone,

    I have two laptop computers, Satellite Pro A300 Satellite A300. Both have the same configuration, C2D E8300 2 GB, ATI 3650 512 MB and so on...

    Today I flashed BIOS to the latest version (from V3.90 to V4.20) on both of them. Version 3.90 cooling was OK, fan worked only when it was necessary. But now after that flashing the BIOS fan runs constantly, he does not stop.

    What I did in Vista under Toshiba Power Saver Power Options, I changed the cooling method of maximum Performance to optimised battery, reverse cooling operation, but coverage (keyboard area) has become a bit warmer.

    My question is, what is the problem with cooling in the new version (v4.20)? And how to fix this?
    Yet once again, the problem did not exist before flashing the BIOS and the problem is on both computers.

    Thank you very much for your help!

    Best regards
    Osman

    > What I did in Vista under Toshiba Power Saver Power Options, I changed the cooling method of maximum Performance to optimised battery, reverse cooling operation, but coverage (keyboard area) has become a bit warmer.

    I doubt that there could be something wrong, I want to say that you said that after changing the method in cooling Toshiba Power Saver, the fans don't run all the time
    Usually the cooling modules are controlled by energy savings and the BIOS contains only the table fan.

    Keyboard of my laptop or on the left side of the laptop becomes too hot because on this side, you find the cooling modules that blow hot air

    Nothing so unusual...
