Upgrade memory to the Qosmio F20 problem

I just bought a Laptop Qosmio F20; It has 512 MB RAM DDR2 pc4200 533 MHz in standard. When I added an another 512 MB of ram the laptop turns on but the screen is blank, when I installed them separately, they work very well sound when I pair their place is happening, they are of the same manufacturer (Samsung) and the same type & speed.

Please could someone help me with this, because I am intrigued. This laptop does support 1 GB memory 2 x.

Hello

The laptop supports without a doubt memory 2 x 512 MB sticks.
You can upgrade the memory for max 2 GB (2 x 1024 MB)

As far as I know Toshiba recommend using these modules:
512 MB DDR2-400/533 (PA3412U - 1 M 51)
1 GB OF DDR2 400/533 (PA3411U-1M1G)

About you, problems with memory, it seems that both modules are not compatible I know that sounds very strange because you use the same modules (as you say).

I recommend to replace the new module and you should check if the laptop runs correctly with other new module

  • Upgrade memory on the Qosmio G20

    Hello
    I'm looking to upgrade my Qosmio G20 from 1 GB to 2 GB RAM

    Now I believe that this laptop comes with 2 x 512MB sticks in order to upgrade, I would need to buy 2 x 1 GB?

    I found this memory which I think would be good, but would like confirmation.

    http://www.cheapmemory.com.au/cheap-memory-Finder.php?EquipType=notebook&manuf=Toshiba&ManufS door series = Qosmio % 20Black & model = G20 - 110

    (Yes, I live in Australia)

    AFAIK the memory of 2 GB are quite new on the market and I don't believe someone can give you any information appropriate for this topic, but if these modules are memory specified for G20 I n t see no reason don't think about them.

    If there is a problem you can send them back at any time. By the way: I checked the official update from Toshiba page and it seems that, for the moment, no module 2 GB are available.

    2. which opens your performance Options. Click the Advanced tab. For private users 'typical' Processor Scheduling & Memory use must be set to "programs".
    3. under virtual memory, click change.
    4. which opens the virtual memory options. If you have more than one hard drive, make sure that your primary hard drive is selected under "Drive".
    5. under "Paging File Size for selected device" check the box indicating the size of the managed system.

  • Upgrade memory on the Satellite L300 problem

    My laptop is a Satellite L300 PSLB8A 047004. I bought a kit of 2 x 2 GB modules and inserted carefully following the instructions (they clicked in place). When the computer reboots, the power light comes on, the fan was on but no other activity and the screen stayed black, no drive activity. Initially, there was 1-off 1 GB PC2 - 6400S installed module, and I checked the news is PC2 - 6400S. I took and put back in but same result. When I put the original module in it worked fine.

    Then I tried one of the new modules instead of lucky one but not original so the original module is now back in and everything seems OK.
    Any suggestions please? If there is damage of module to be managed, then the original 1 GB module should also be damaged, because this is one that s been managed at best.

    KeV.

    This is a typical behavior of compatibility issues. The modules you have, I mean who is the manufacturer?

    I recommend you to use high quality of Kingston or Toshiba products. For more information about compatible modules for your laptop computer, visit http://www.kingston.com/worldwide/default.asp

  • Card memory on a Qosmio F20 failure

    I have the qosmio f20-136 with built in card reader. I use a sony memory stick pro duo with adapter but my laptop seems no more read. He has worked in the past, seems to do it on my other card aswell.

    Suggestions or quick solutions is useful

    Hello

    I really put t believe Toshiba has tested this slots with adapters with the supported cards.

    If you can not read other cards as well try to restore the system to an earlier time using System Restore utility. In this way it is not possible to give a precise answer because who knows what did you and try with your unit and this adapter (maybe installed a driver).

    There is no quick fix for some issues. ;)

    thx for the answers

    Hardware upgrade on laptops is not comparable with the workstations where you can upgrade almost everything. Mainly on laptops, you can improve RAM, WLAN, HARD drive or maybe BT but all that s.

    Update graphics card is definitely not possible because the graphics card is part of the motherboard. Update CPU's might be possible, but certainly not recommendable. The construction of any material is designed by technicians and configured to provide optimal use. If optimal use, you understand very good performance but without the possibility to destroy the material. The common problem on mobile computing is heat and how to cool the hardware components.

    The best graphics card and CPU using the material temperature is much higher and the result can be permanent running fan or just property damage. If you think about all this stuff, I hope you understand that this type of upgrade can be very risky.

    If you need to better and more powerful portable computer the best option is to sell your old and buy newer with the best hardware configuration.

  • Qosmio F20 - problem with WXP MCE TV tuner

    Hello

    I have a strange problem...
    I install win XP MCE on my qosmio F20-111 and all work fine.
    TV Tuner work verry good, list all the chanel and all the work.
    But after the first reboot when I try again Live TV in Media Center, I received the message "bad TV tuner work or do not present, try to restart.

    I try everything, but it still does not work.
    When I use the system restore, it works until I reboot again. Once again, I get this message.

    Any ideas? Please...

    You should check if after the next reboot the TV tuner is properly recognized in Device Manager.
    If this is not the case, then visit the European driver Toshiba page and you must reinstall (update) the TV tuner driver.
    Maybe it's the key to the solution ;)

    Good luck and I would appreciate feedback

  • Upgrading memory on the NB550D - 11 d - 4 GB of RAM are possible

    To anyone who thinks of a memory upgrade on the NB550D:

    The NB550D supports up to 4 GB of memory, not only 2 GB as mentioned by Toshiba in their specifications.
    Upgrade memory to 2 GB is _only limited_ by the pre installed Windows 7 Starter OS, and not by the netbook itself.

    I use Linux Mint 11 Katya, 64-bit and my system works perfectly well with a 4 GB ram module. If you want to use the full support for 4 GB ram, get rid of the Win 7 Starter operating system.

    Specifications for more memory ram volume are DDR3 1333 MHz PC3-10600 SO-Dimm. I chose a 4 GB of Corsair module, because of the guarantee of 30 years of offers from Corsair.

    It took me a while to find this out hope, that this will be a help to all those who are just as secure as I was how to upgrade memory NB550D. Good luck. (o).

    Thanks for the comments

    Also it of important to mention than the 32-bit systems (not serious if its Linux or Windows) would recognize only 3.2 GB since it is a limitation of 32-bit
    So to use all of the 4 GB RAM 64-bit system is required.

  • Upgrade memory on the Satellite NB10t-A-102

    Hello

    on NB10t-A-102, I want to change the memory and the increase of 8 GB or 16 GB
    Can make us this change?

    Hello

    According to the specifications of the laptop RAM can be upgraded up to 4 GB, and obviously with 4 GB of RAM inside it is already on the maximum.

    Unfortunately on this forum we do not have much info on this new machine, but in the past we discussed on older models with 1 GB of RAM maximum but in the end, it was possible to update.

    If no one can help with this I recommend you try the upgrade with 8 GB of RAM to check how it works. Number of RAM you should test is PA5104U-1M8G.

    If possible, send feedback.

  • Dear gurus: help with options for upgrading memory on the DV7-1235dx

    I recently bought a used DV7-1235dx and that you want to update the 8 GB RAM, but I'm having a hard time figuring exactly what memory modules are the best for this problem (in a sense general - I don't want to say the brand, well that thoughts on that are welcome, too). I have Windows 7 64 bit. Can someone point me in the right direction?

    Hello:

    I suggest that you run the tool free to advise on the Crucial.com memory and it will tell you what memory you need to buy for your PC:

    http://www.crucial.com/?CPE=pd_msn_us & ef_id=k7hN@oYZUgUAAMO8:20110616224741:s

    From what I could find on my own, I think you would need to PC2-6400 for your machine, but leave the scanner tool do its thing to confirm.

    I've always bought Crucial memory, but for a 4 GB chip, it's quite expensive.

    So, I found that the Patriot memory is a lot cheaper and it works great! I put the chip 2 x 4 GB Patriot in my HP Elitebook 6930p and chips Patriot 2 x 4 GB in HP Elitebook son 6910p.

    I just bought a brand new HP Elite 8200 CMT. It came with 4 GB memory ddr3. I bought a chip of Patriot 4 GB and it works fine. Because the chip worked, I just ordered two other max out this new box.

    Here is the link to the place, I had my Patriot laptop memory if the crucial scanner confirms that this is what you need. You can also read all the comments of consumers who bought the memory.

    Have two cell phones of #PSAE1E - 00T002EN Satellite Pro A200 and wanted to know if I can pass the 2 x 1 GB memory 2 x 2 GB?

    If I understand correctly what ask you, you want to upgrade memory of 4 GB laptops.

    Well, I think that it s is not possible.
    The Satellite Pro A200 supports maximum 2 GB of RAM (2 x 1 GB), then you will not be able to use 2 x 2 GB modules.

  • Tuner not found on the Qosmio F20-149

    Hello world

    I have a Qosmio F20-149. After the transfer of my place of residence in another city in the same country) I suddenly see that my media reports "tuner not found" when I try to access the TV. Also, when I try to configure the internet connection, I get an error message of the MC asked me to restart the computer or contact technical support. Can someone help me with this?

    thanking you in anticipation.
    Best wishes.

    Hello

    I'm not an expert but tuner not found message cannot occur without any reason. There seems to be some hardware related issue and has nothing to do with your home.

    If you are 100% sure that everything was ok a few days ago, I recommend you to roll back OS to an earlier time using System Restore tool. Please also check status of TV tuner in Device Manager? Is this all is well?

  • Question about upgrading memory on the Satellite L20-181

    Hello

    The recommended minimum is memory for Windwows XP 256 MB and I don't understand how the company could get far notebook sale with integrated graphics with 256 MB shared system memory.

    In any case, I want to improve my Toshiba and my intention is to buy 512 MB more memory, such as http://www.orcalogic.co.uk/asp/prodtype.asp?prodtype=20049&ft=m&st=3

    Will it work properly with 768 MB or I will only buy the same pair: 256 + 256, 512 + 512?

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    First of all, you are not right. Windows XP also works with the low value of the memory.
    But of course it depends on memory so the OS applications will run more rapid or slower.

    However, the fact is that you can upgrade the memory on your laptop and it doesn't mater if the modules have the same value of memory or not.
    In this case, the laptop came with 256 MB and you can install detox the second module of 512 MB memory.

    PS: I recommend installing the 512 MB in the first slot and the 256 MB in the second Bank.

  • Upgrading RAM on the Qosmio X 505

    I don't know what's going on but I have a Toshiba Qosmio x 505 I'm a little confused on the amount of RAM my PC and it's his lwo I would buy more, I bought mine from Newegg almost a year with the backlit keyboard, to my knowledge, I thought that my computer has 6 GB of ram and it runs games big but the other day while running dxdiag I was shocked to see that I have 4 GB of ram... (4096MB to be exact, it is more than 4 GB, but if it's 6GB so where is the other 1.9 GB of RAM at?)

    Recently, I did a reinstall of windows and wipe the entire computer, it would affect my bios for ram at all? I swear I had 6 GB of ram, but maybe I was wrong, in any case if it is after that that someone provide me a link to buy the 8 GB of ram for the qosmio? Thank you! I'd love to update the full agreement.

    Hi mate

    The value of the RAM can be checked in the BIOS!
    Please check in the BIOS what RAM is recognized.

    In addition, the graphics card shares a part of main RAM in order to get better performance all in game.
    The main value of RAM is the part that would be shared by the graphics chip is high.

    So if the laptop was equipped with 6 GB of RAM (hmm, in that case it should be a 4GB and 2 GB RAM module installed) then some of this RAM could be used by GPU.

    By the way; 4 GB of RAM or 6 GB of RAM are more than enough to get good performance... so in my opinion RAM upgrade is not necessary
