Upgrade RAM P105 satellite from 2 GB to 4 GB and it will not start

I am trying to upgrade my P105 poles factory PC4300 original 2 from 1 GB to two sticks of 2 GB PNY PC5300.
The new DDR2 667 Mhz ram according to the web site of Toshiba, however, with the two sticks of the new ram in place (4 GB), my computer does not start.

With the new ram in place (2 GB) stick, my computer starts very well.
With two sticks of the original ram (2X1GB) implemented my computer starts very well.
What gives? Anyone know?

I read that this laptop supports 4 GB of ram, although only about 3 GB will be mapped for use and this is acceptable to me.
With 4 GB of ram installed, the BIOS recognizes 640 ram Base and 3 GB of memory.
Is it possible to get this computer with 2x2gb DDR2 PC5300 ram?

I am currently running Windows XP Media Center Edition SP3.
It'd be better if I installed one of the versions the PC 5300 2 GB sticks and one of the original PC 4300 sticks 1 GB?

Tanks for all help.

Hello

In my opinion, the laptop does not start because of the compatibility issue.

The laptop was equipped with modules PC4300.
So why you n t using 2 x 2 GB PC4300 modules?
PC4300 DDR2 533 Mhz modules should run ok.

If you want to use a PC-5300 and a PC 4300 module, then both modules would go at the same speed as the slower module in your case 533 Mhz.

This is why they do not since I use a PC5300 and a single PC4300.

In addition, the module speed depends on the bus (FSB) front.
If the front side bus support 533 Mhz max then your module would go max to 533 Mhz even if the modules would support higher speed.

  • "Error message: Verifing DMI pool Data data ', 'Boot from CD' and Vista will not start.

    Vista will not start. Yesterday I had a remote assist of a tech trade SPS who took several Java updates and installed the recommended Java version. Until I left work the day I closed my computer so that he could install the updates from Microsoft. After the updates were finished I he turned and left for the day. When I arrived this morning, I had was a black screen and 2 lines of text following: 'Verifing DMI pool data' and 'Boot from CD' and a cursor flashing beneath them. I downloaded and executed a Western Digital utility that showed no problems with the hard drive, put in on the installation disc repair service is no error. I did a system restore to a point since yesterday morning, and Vista still does not start. Any ideas or suggestions?

    Hi JohnHorky,

    Step 1:

    First check and make sure that all physical connections on the computer are correct.

    Step 2:

    Alternatively, you can try to run a Checkdisk and check.

    a. Insert the installation disc.

    b. restart your computer.

    c. click on the Start button, click the arrow next to the button lock and then click on restart. If you are prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.

    d. choose your language settings, and then click Next.

    e. in the System Recovery Options menu, click command prompt

    f. at a command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER

    Chkdsk /f /r X: (drive letter)

    Note: When you run the checkdisk, there are risks of data loss you can take a backup before starting the checkdisk.

    g. press y when you are prompted to check the drive the next time the system restarts.

    h. close all applications and restart the computer.

    Note: When you run the disk check, there are chances of losing data if you can take a backup before starting the checkdisk.

    Step 3:

    Check if the automatic hard drive in the BIOS (Basic Input/output System) is enabled and save settings and check if it works. If it doesn't, contact the manufacturer of the system for more support options.

    I also suggest that you install the latest update of the basic system of input/output (BIOS) on the computer by contacting the manufacturer of the computer and check if it helps.

    Important: Change to the BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    Hope this information is useful.

    You have the original CD of Windows XP comes with the computer. Also the original product key?

    Also the CD from your computer else you used to reinstall Windows XP is OEM or retail?

    Note: If you use the same product key that is already in use on your other computer most likely that is the reason why you have received advice. A product key can be used to enable only a single computer and not both.

    Install or reinstall OS X from scratch

    Make sure that you have backed up your files because the following procedure will remove all of the hard drive.

    HD recovery start:

    Restart the computer and after the buzzer, press on and hold down the COMMAND and R until the menu screen appears.

    Erase the drive:

    1. select in the main menu disk utility and click on the continue button.

    2. once the charges of THE select your boot volume (usually Macintosh HD) in the

    list on the left. Click on the Erase tab in the main window of THE.

    3. set the type of format Mac OS extended (journaled). If necessary, click

    Security and button all the option data from scratch in a single pass. Click

    because it is three times faster than wireless.

    This should install the version of Mac OS X that you had installed it.

    If this does not work then your hard drive has failed and must be replaced. Please make an appointment at the Apple Store - Genius Bar store and bring it into service. If you are in the United States or is unable to make an appointment in this way, contact your Apple store.

  • Recovery disk will not start on Satellite 1110

    I try to use the recovery on a Satellite 1110 CD. I want to just install fresh Windows. The necessary files are supposed to be on the Toshiba recovery CD that accompanies it.

    So I did what the brochure says, and booted up the laptop to the top with the correct CD in the drive, while pressing 'C '. The notebook ignored the CD ROM and loaded Windows as usual. I repeated three times, each time that the CD ROM whirs a bit but will not start and Windows loads as usual. I have replaced 'C' for F12, chose the CD ROM drive in the list and repeat the process several times. Yet once it wouldn't boot from the CD-ROM.

    I looked at the content of the CD ROM A single MB 447. File of the GHS. The file icon is that generic type "Windows does not know what program this icon is intended to" deals.

    Google believes it is a ghost file and must the ghost installed to run it. This bitch never came with Ghost.

    Anyone here knows a remedy to this problem?

    (NB - I tried clean Windows system restore option, but it just brings back me to September this year. Theres no option that was more early in life for portable computers)

    I am in the United Kingdom, and is a UK machine if that makes a difference.

    Hello Micha

    Is this your ODD works properly with the operating system?

    I put really know what exactly is happening here, but please make sure that you start with recovery CD number 1/2 2/2. The installation of recovery, you can just start with the first recovery CD. Also try please set CD-ROM as firs boot device in the BIOS.

  • L775-11N satellite will not start

    Hello

    I bought a L775 almost a year ago, but today it has stopped booting. It freezes at the screen of the BIOS (Toshiba logo).
    No HDD LED activity, but all the others are fine.

    I think that the HARD drive is defective, as I traded with my portable Linux and it works.

    However, (a Seagate Momentus XT ST95005620AS) HARD drive works on another computer and even on Linux with the Toshiba (on an external HARD drive enclosure). He has some bad sectors (INTELLIGENT default), but it works as it should.

    I tried to clean the CMOS memory, wipe the HARD drive (using GParted), but nothing.

    Any ideas?

    I think it fails because of the CHIP, as the BIOS will not start on this HARD drive because of the errors, but I'm not sure. I tried to update the BIOS (I think that I've upgraded to 1.90 but there is a 2.0 release), but looks like it is a Windows software only.

    Thanks for your replies

    EDIT: I can boot the disk when it is inside a USB enclosure.

    Hello

    I don t think that this question is related to the failure of HARD drive.
    Even if the HARD drive is faulty, the laptop must pass the POST (power self test) properly but it doesn t it freezes to the Toshiba start screen and this means that the POST has not been passed

    I think you should check the RAM. A faulty RAM can cause this kind of problem
    Otherwise, it could be a serious problem with the motherboard.

  • Re: Satellite M70-364 will not start

    Hi I have a satellite phone and it does not start. When I press the power button, I get the Toshiba sign, then a white screen. A few seconds later, it goes back to the toshiba screen. I tried another hard drive, but it is always the same. I can enter the bios and checked that it is set to boot from the hard drive and nothing else. But that left me speechless as to what could be the cause of the problem. Any help would be appreciated.

    Try to boot in safe mode and remove the Norton System works from your laptop ;)
    If this does not help, you will need to recover the laptop with the recovery CD Toshiba delivered!

    Also I recommend to visit the Symantec support site and to check the solutions to the problem with the Norton System Works programs

  • Satellite A100 - BIOS and Windows does not start after the BIOS update

    Hello, I extend my Satellite A100 laptop BIOS.

    After update, I can't start my laptop and the BIOS will not start.

    You see the Toshiba logo?

    Was there a power failure when you updated the BIOS?

    Try to remove the battery and the adapter and leave for a few hours. You can also try reinstalling the RAM.

    If this does not help, you will need to send it to a Service Center for repair.

  • Satellite A105-S4164 - will not start only white screen

    Hi all
    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A105-S4164 that will not start.

    I thought that maybe there is a problem with the battery. I took out the battery and then plugged the laptop to the power outlet, makes no difference. The blue lights in the front of the laptop, lights, but I hear no noise from the motherboard or the fan. The laptop is bought in July 2006 and it is out of warranty.
    All I see is a white screen.

    My guess is that the motherboard must be replaced. I have also had kept with Symantic anti-virus and windows updates XP before April 1, 2009.

    Thank you for your comments.

    Well, I think that in this case the laptop must be verified by the technician for laptop. You should contact an ASP and ask for help. It would be the best way because the technician can be sure what parts are defective.

  • Satellite A40 will not start or start the BIOS

    Hello

    I have a portable Satellite A40 2 days ago decided to turns off while I was on the internet, and now it does not restart. I tried removing the battery and leave overnight, but it still will not start. When give you it power outlet, the AC LED is green and if you press the button power turns on the green power light, but that's all, the HARD drive light does not illuminate, the fan does not come on, no sound from the HARD drive and nothing on the screen, not even the backlight. You can also feel the heatsink gets hot (without excess however)

    If you insert a CD, you can here read the disc, and find things out there, too, now the power button still cut off the laptop.

    If anyone has any advice on what may be the cause, or any way I can get the machine to reboot again, that would be greatly appreciated.
