Strange question after upgrading RAM on Tecra M10

Greetings gurus,

Pleeeaase help...

I recently upgraded my M10-PTMB1E to 8 GB of RAM of 2 GB.

My bios sees 8GB, Windows tells me I have 8 GB installed but 3.8 GB usable, it checked with a boot CD. Then, I pulled one of the external 4 GB chips and replace the 2 GB in. Windows detects the 6 GB.

I tested the RAM with memtest and these two circuits passed (although memtest is only 4 GB)

I thought it would be a case of updating the BIOS, but if I run the .exe files in 20091103164158-bios, bios-20091104152403 or the bios-20091104172541, I get an error saying "this computer is is not supported.

Could someone please tell me: -.
(1) this machine does really take 8 GB
(2) if so, what changes should I do so that he can use all the 8 GB (unless of course the VGA)
(3) what the BIOS update do I need

Thank you for your help

Hello

I n t have this model of laptop, but I'll try to help.

# Yes, this laptop model supports up to 8 GB of RAM
# Perhaps this document will help you http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB82022E0000R01.htm
# In general you don't need to be. Just if you want to you can update the BIOS, but the old one should be OK. Just make sure that you are using compatible RAM modules.

  • Satellite A660 - 10 X - no boot after upgrading RAM 8 GB, but 4 GB + 2 GB only

    Hello

    Today I bought two sticks of Kingston 4 GB DDR3 1066 MHz CL7 and I'm trying to replace my 2 GB ones, but something is wrong.

    If I put two sticks of 4 GB laptop does not start. I have the latest version of the BIOS (1.80). I have restored the default settings after upgrade.

    But it's quite strange, because if I put a strip of 4 GB and a 2 GB stick system starts and everything is fine (with memtest86 + too). But there is still one thing: 4 GB stick should be rolled in the dock before, above second, 2 GB module. If I reverse cell phone memory will not start again.

    Is - everyone knows how to solve my problem? Is this a BIOS problem? BIOS version which A660 takes in charge the amount of 8 GB of RAM with no problems? I can downgrade from the BIOS, because I don't know if Toshiba help update.

    Thanks in advance.

    Is this exact module the same 4 GB RAM listed on THIS page?

    Hello

    Theoretically, you can use a CPU that is supported by the chipset.
    As far as I know the laptop supports the Chipset Mobile Intel GM45 Express.
    So you can see the Intel Gm45 Mobile Intel properties page and what would the supported processors.

    In general CPU upgrade a tricky thing but is stronger CPU produces more heat dissipation and could lead to overheating.
    In addition he s not 100% sure that BIOS would support the new processor.

    I also found this nice doc from Toshiba:

    steps to follow:

    1. I tried with 1 socket by using only a RAM, screen black

    2. I tried with 2 socket using RAM only one with the same RAM step 1, screen black

    3. I tried step 1 and 2 using the other RAM, screen black

    now here it gets interesting

    4 tried 1 socket using Original/factory RAM, screen black

    5 tried 2 socket using Original/factory RAM, screen black

    6. tried without any RAM at all, looks like a lack of RAM, screen black

    Now, to each measure adopted, I must say that the screen sound not only not showing things, but its totally black as it does at all, until the system starts normally. !

    Is it Possible the upgrade of RAM affect the screen? or maybe when I was replacing the RAM I hit some conecting by cable to screen or something?

  • How upgrade to 64 bit Win 7 after upgrade Ram 6 GB on 3250br Pavilion DM1?

    I m going to upgrade 6 GB memory on my Pavilion DM1 3250br. Although windows indicate it is 64-bit capable windows anytime update installed 32-bit (because it has less than 2 GB available).

    1. How should you proceed to upgrade to 64-bit after upgrade memory? I don't have a system disk, only the suplyed key home premium by HP.

    2 HP has 64-bit for all devices drivers? They are in D: recovery drive or I´ll need to download the upgrade?

    3. any information you want to give.

    Best regards

    Eduardo

    Hi, Eduardo:

    You can try it.

    I know it works if you have a retail upgrade key which means that it is good for 32 or 64 bit.

    I don't know an ISO file that you get off the internet is an OEM file.

    If this is the case, it will not work. If this isn't the case, I doubt it will be.

    I have dealt only with the installations of Windows 7 using OEM disks or retail upgrade.

    Basically, the key that you use must be the same as the installation disc.

    OEM disc / ISO good with the key on the bottom of your portable forest 32 or 64 OEM.

    Plenty of retail disc / ISO only good with the full commercial product key, you get the box or the e-mail sent to you - 32 or 64 bit.

    The retail upgrade disc / ISO only good with the retail upgrade key, you get in the box or the e-mail sent to you - 32 or 64-bit.

    Upgrade Express disc / ISO only good with the upgrade retail or upgrade Express key - 32 or 64-bit if you have a disk.

    I used a disk of 64 bit Vista Business anytime upgrade to upgrade Vista Home Premium 64 bit update, and I was able to use the key from Vista Business 32 bit provided with the 32-bit disk (I had a 32-bit Vista Business retail box update but they come only with discs of 32 bits at the time and you had to order a CD of) 64-bit and pay $10. You can't even not the disks in 64-bit vista to MS.

    Hope this helps,

    Someone has an idea?
    Now there is in the slot A - 64 MB
    Tried to put 256 MB in the B slot
    them, that nothing worked changed

    Hello

    Well, the blue screen error message usually appears because of the failure of the software matter or material. In case you I guess, apparently because of the new RAM.

    The fact is that you can upgrade the memory to the maximum. 512 MB.
    These modules are compatible:
    PC100 256 MB (PA3051U-1NME)
    PC100 128 MB (PA3005U)
    PC100 64 MB (PA3004U)

    I recommend that you check you modules and try to use another compatible.

  • Question on the increase after upgrading RAM on Satellite M70-159

    Very interesting...
    A 128 MB video memory (Sam. D? 70-159). increased the RAM to 2 GB. The volume of retained began to appear as 256 Mb. He worked a HyperMemory? ¢.

    If I increase the RAM 4 GB, there will be a video memory 512?

    Hello

    This is normal, as the retained will be put how much RAM you have in your system. But if I were you, I would stay on 2 GB because when the upgrade to 4 GB you will only have around 3 GB memory available because the stored will increase to 768 MB or something around. This is not a bug, because the chipset does automatically and unfortunately not possible to manually edit it s.

    But don t ask me why this is so. I have the same problem with my Satellite A100 and I Don t really need as much memory graphics.

  • Windows 7 Home Premium x 64: activation of the service Windows Update crashes my computer after upgrade RAM

    A few days ago I had two sticks of 2 GB GSkill RAM by mail. Here's the same brand, model and size as the pair currently installed (obviously). (Sticks alternate according to the specifications of the card from my mother)

    After you have installed the new RAM and the computer starts up, it freezes within about 30 seconds of connection. Before installing the new sticks, I had no problem whatsoever.

    My first thought is that I sit the RAM properly, then I go and reinstall it. I start, and the same thing happens.

    So obviously this RAM must be bad, right? When I take out news, not gel. Ah, but when I remove the OLD stuff and use new instead, I ALSO no gel. So maybe it is not the RAM.

    Then I reboot in safe mode. No gel. Interesting. I opened the window 'System' and it says "memory (RAM) installed: 4.00 GB ', which is correct." I opened CPU - Z, and it reports also 4 GB of memory. I run a few hours and have no problems whatsoever. So I say to myself, there must be either a Windows service or a 3rd party service is causing the issue and not the new RAM.

    I disable all services of 3rd parties and restart in normal mode. It freezes. OK, so maybe (though unlikely) I have a virus any (I say probably not because I have to) run the module additional firefox NoScript, and set to block all flash, javascript, xss, iframes, etc. - in other words, only allow to my whitelist and B) I have Windows Firewall and running McAffee and updated.). But I decided to first try Windows services for the hell of it.

    So I enable only the services that start in safe mode as my reference, disabling the rest via services.msc. I start normally and not gel. Great, then maybe it is a Windows service. I start which allows one service after another without any problem. I get to the bottom of the list and select the Windows Update service. Within literally 10 seconds my computer crashes. Large.

    As a validation test, I put all services back to the base line of safe mode and only allow Windows Update. I start normally, and again once it freezes.

    Another test of validation, I start with all normal, but disable Windows Update. Do not freeze. I'm going to start Windows Update. Yet once, it freezes for about 10 seconds. So clearly something is in place.

    As a third and final sanity check, I remove the new RAM and run a Windows Update. He finds a few optional updates, but not critical. My system is up2date.

    My only attempt to solve this problem so far was to backup all Windows Update DLLs (C:\windows\system32\wu*.dll, although I don't know if these are good) and do a scan sfc to replace them with copies of 'good '. It did not work.

    So my question is:

    Why cares Windows Update that I have 4 GB of memory installed?

    Thank you

    1. I 'upgraded' from the RC of Windows 7 x 64 for Win 7 x 64 Home Premium.

    2. I use McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.7.0i, DAT version 6060, Scan Engine 5400.1158

    3 No.

    4. No, I put together this computer myself.

    ______________________

    To answer my previous posts:

    I think the USB storage is a separate issue. And.

    I think I * may * have solved the problem of origin with one or more of the following (don't know who):

    • Updated the software of the chipset of the card from my mother.
    • Updated HD Windows audio drivers to the recommended ASUS (Realtek) HD audio drivers
    • Updated since Windows installed NVIDIA display drivers for version NVIDIA WHQL.
    • Increased my tRFC (refresh time of line) to 70 52 clocks clocks. Set my GSKILL DRAM voltage recommended by 2.1V. Off the SPD DRAM configuration (I read that ASUS is not entirely based on the SPD and can affect things on its own).

    I had WU for 20 minutes from writing this post without a freeze, so we'll see. (Previously, it would freeze within 10 seconds of turning on WU)

  • Satellite Pro A120 (PSAC0E) does not start after upgrading RAM

    Hello

    I hope someone can help me here, I recently bought a Satellite Pro A120 (PSAC0E) and decided to upgrade the RAM. I bought a stick of 512 MB of curries with the following specifications: DDR PC2700 200-pin 333 Mhz SODIMM (64 x 64).

    However, the first problem I encountered was an alignment problem. A little effort and handling solved this, but after you insert the RAM into the available slot, the computer laptop wouldn't boot, and instead, I had the flashing sequence on the LED from 2,3,3.

    I was told it might be a problem matching, then tried to remove the original RAM and booting with just the new stick, still the same error. I tried it in the slots and still no joy. It starts very well with the original 256 MB of RAM, but refuses to take the new RAM.

    Are there any known issues? Can anyone suggest something that I can do wrong? I followed the usual steps of upgrade to remove all power cables and the battery before the upgrade, but still no joy.

    Hoping that someone is able to help!

    Hi James

    You simply have bad memory modules and is not a compatible uses.

    > the first problem I encountered was an alignment problem. A little effort and handling solved this,

    This should not happen! The right modules can be inserted without any problem of alignment!
    Handling can damage the module!

    In my opinion, you should use another and supported the RAM module.

    To my knowledge, you can use the PA3512U-1M1G (DDR2-667 1 GB Memory Kit) or (PA3411U-2M1G) DDR2-533 1 GB
    The two should be compatible.

    Hello

    I have a Satellite L670D - 15 d and now I've passed on SSD.
    In this context, I wanted to increase the RAM (2 GB DDR3-1066 original installed).

    I bought the Mushkin 8 GB kit DDR3-1066.
    In the BIOS are displayed both modules of 8 GB RAM.

    After the logo screen, the white course remains the top left corner and the boot process stops.

    Does someone has an idea and can help me?

    The questions is related to the new RAM inserted.
    But I m confused what RAM is installed exactly now; Modules of RAM of 2 GB + 8 GB or a single module of RAM to 8 GB?

    I m request because the laptop Satellite L670D - 15 d supports 8 GB of RAM, and from my point of view of some 10 GB of RAM (2 GB + 8 GB) is too much.

    That's why I recommend you to use 2 x 4 GB RAM modules.

    You must use the Configurator of Corsair compatibility on their Web site.

    See if you can return the modules. The modules seen in the image below are the only guaranteed compatible modules by Corsair. Unfortunately, they are not modules of 4 GB compatible to your laptop.

    Memory of Kingston, on the other hand, is it guaranteed compatible 2 GB and 4 GB modules of memory for your laptop. With Kingston, bars of memory, you can upgrade to 8 GB and do work correctly the first time you start it back up after the upgrade.

    The question is...

    I want to upgrade my portable computer system memory 3 GB DDR2 (800 MHz) RAM to 4 GB of RAM DDR3 (1066 MHz), which is compatible or not?

    Respect,
    enteoana

    Hello

    In my opinion, you should follow specification not Intel and Toshiba. S Toshiba of info is based on own tests and facts.
    So, depending on the specifications of Toshiba for the GM45 Chipset it is clearly written:

    Min(on Board) wheel capacity - DDR2 800 MHz 0 MB / 8 GB max
    Type of extension of memory - DDR2 800 MHz 1 GB/2 GB/4 GB
    Type of module - SO-DIMM

    So if Toshiba write about 800 MHz modules, you must use the modules to them and not faster.
    You may be able to use faster too, but they do not work with the maximum speed, but not going down to 800 MHz.

    If you want to use max RAM amount use recommended and tested 2 x 2 Go DDR2-800 (PA3669U-1M2G).
    Indicated as compatible RAM, 4 GB DDR2-800 (PA3670U-1M4G).
