Memory after BIOS update

I did a BIOS update on my system, it went almost perfect, no problems at all and extreme quick, I did used Live Update 2 Version 3.3.
I have a small problem:
The system has two 256 mb memory sticks, that should be 512 mb right?
Well it shows 384 mb, I switch sticks around and this is what I got.
Stick one on slot 01      256 mb
Stick two on slot 02      128 mb.
Looks like half of number two is bad, How is that possible?
I ran memory test for about 6 hours and it shows 384 mb butdosn't shows any problems.
Any ideas?       Note: I am sure I have two 256 mb because I had test then before.
This are the specs:
K7T266 Pro      BIOS 1.9    AMD 1 Ghz Palomino
Win 98  Samsung Memory as above.  PC 2100 DDR

Everything indicates that's the bottom line, but I though that, if the memory goes bad is the whole thing, not just half of it.
Any ways, I still lucky I dind't loose the whole thing.

  • More graphic memory after BIOS update on Satellite A110-195

    After Instell BIOS Update from 1.30 to 1.60 avaliable crahpic memory: 64 Mb, must be 128 Mb.
    It after update or it my mistake?

    Wait a moment. As far as I know in specification for this Intel 945GM is written that this card can use between 8MB-128MB for video operations. I am not 100% sure but I believe you can not force this card to use fix value and it works automatically and used memory depends on available RAM and also on intensive video operations. Am I right?
    If you start system properties how many RAM is shown under General tab?
    BTW: BIOS downgrade is not possible. It can be done just by service using special tools they have. Because of that you will never be able to find old BIOS versions on download page.

  • I can't activate windows 8.1 pre-instal​led on my Toshiba E45-B4200 after BIOS Update

    I bought Toshiba laptop Model E45-B4200, at first time I could activate windows 8.1 like a charm.
    Few months later Windows 8.1 has crashed, so I did clean install of pre-installed windows, no problem so far. Toshiba Application installer app has downloaded BIOS update, so I ran it.
    I tried to activate windows after BIOS update, but it didn`t work. No error message, but Change PC settings window just got minimized every time that I tried to click on Activate Windows option. I thought that I did some mistake, so I repeated windows reinstallation, and same problem occurred again.
    Now I can`t update Windows, Office 2013, and so on. 
    I`ve tried SLUI 4 command to force activation by phone, but it didn`t work as well.
    I read on MS blogs that windows 8.1 stores product key on MSDM table, windows should be activated normally. Now I got no options now, can you help me?

    It shouldn't need to be activated it. Everything should be automatic. Because it's asking you, that's already indicative of a problem. You might want to call customer support.

  • After BIOS update Satellite L350-172 doesn't start anymore

    Satellite L350-172 Bios-Update from bios-20090203164614 to bios-201002250
    I just updatet the BIOS of my notebook from 1.60 to 2,20. Now the Notebook doesn't start any longer.
    "It was stopped for reason not to damage the Computer" - blue schreen.
    How can I downgrade the bios again? Or - what have I to change in the bios-settings?

    Hi schuwe,
    Im a little bit confused about your posting. How do you tell your BIOS not to restart?
    Anyway, after BIOS update you should load the default settings in BIOS.
    Did you choose the right BIOS especially for your model?

  • After BIOS update DVD driver do not read DVDs anymore - Sat A80

    Hi,
    I have a Satellite A80-131 and after bios update (last version 2.5) by windows procedure update, my DVD drive do not read DVD medias anymore. It is possible to read CD medias, but not DVD one.
    Can I reinstall the old bios? Can I reinstall the firmware?
    Thanks
    Ronai Lisboa

    Hi Ronai
    Like Jimi has said in the posting above. It's very unusual that after BIOS updating the DVD drive hasn't read the DVDs.
    Furthermore it's not advisable to use any 3rd party applications to DOWNGRADE the BIOS. Usually only the ASP can downgrade the BIOS. Such procedures are very serious and the wrong procedure can damage the motherboard.
    However, it's nice that you have solved the problem and that the drive works properly.
    Thanks for the feedback.

  • Satellite Pro L300: BSOD after BIOS update

    Hi
    after update the Bios of Satellite Pro L300, the windows not start!
    Its show the blue dead screen!
    What can i do?

    Hi
    Are you able to access the BIOS settings?
    Im not quite sure why this BSOD appears but possibly the SATA mode settings have been changed after BIOS update
    Usually the SATA mode should be set to AHCI if the SATA drivers are installed.
    But if the SATA drivers are not included the SATA mode should be set to compatible.
    Please check this!
    Furthermore you could set the BIOS to the default settings and could try to boot the machine again.

  • Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E freezes on Toshiba welcome screen after BIOS update

    Hi.
    Yesterday I did a BIOS update on my Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E-03Z00QGR with the appropriate flash:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EU&selCategory =2&selFamily=2&selSeries=153&selProduct=624&langua ge=17&selOS=10&selType=all&yearupload=&monthupload =&dayupload=&useDate=null&mode=userMachines&search =&action=search&macId=&country=all&selectedLanguag e=17&type=all&page=1&ID=58477&OSID=-1&driverLanguage=42
    bios-20070709111839.zip
    After the flashing procedure the machine rebooted automatically, but unfortunately it now keeps hanging at the Thoshiba welcome screen. Also pressing F2 or F12 won't change anything. It seems like the BIOS is corrupt.
    I saw, that in the BIOS package are delivered two flash files (s10gm590.rom and s10pm590.rom). But just executing the SanAntonion10 BIOS590MP.exe a .vbs script is started that decides automatically chooses and loads a flash file. Maybe it chose the wrong one?
    What shall I do now? Is there a way to restore the BIOS, or do I have to send my notebook in?
    Thanks in advance
    MAT

    > Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E freezes on Toshiba welcome screen after BIOS update
    What to say Marc. It looks like you have used a wrong BIOS version or you have updated the BIOS in wrong way.
    You could try to access the BIOS and try to set the settings to default.
    Dont forget to save the settings if you will exit the BIOS.
    But if this procedure does not help, you will have to contact the ASP in your country.
    Possibly the guys will try to flash the BIOS again with other special version.
    Good luck
    Greetings

  • HP p6230a runs slow after bios update - Getting error BIODHD-8 on Diagnostic Tools

    After bios update my desktop runs so painfully slow it is unworkable.  Disk drive seems to be constantly hammered by processes that don't appear on task manager.  Running 64 bit windows 7 (sp1).  Running the diagnostic tools prior to boot up comes up with error code BIOHD-8 - A SMART test failed on the drive - please contact HP Support.  Ideally would like to get previous version of bios as machine was running well before update. 

    I will ask my HP Employee Expert colleagues about this internally. It will take a while for them to respond.
    the BIODHD-8 error code means your harddrive is failing and must be replaced.
    Back up everything that you possibly can before it fails and no longer boots up into Windows .
    is your notebook still within the standard warranty period of one year? A notebook hard disk is a warranty replaceable item.(no cost to you while within warranty)

  • Satellite Pro C850 wont work after Bios update

    my satellite pro c850 cd wont work after bios update from toshiba.
    what do i do?

    Saying: dont work you mean it does not power up or what do you mean exactly?
    Did you flash the BIOS properly?
    Possibly something went wrong during the update and this means that ROM module isnt flashed properly
    In most cases a special BIOS crisis disk would be needed to get it working
    Not quite sure if you can get it fixed by your own
    Check this thread. Maybe it helps:

    Otherwise you need help from authorized service provider available in your country.

  • Satellite A series does not start up after BIOS update

    After bios update with downloaded utility my notebook does not start up.
    Did this case covered by warranty?

    Im not quite sure if this would be covered by warranty. You should contact the ASP in your country for details but I presume its not covered.
    PS: Did you try this workaround:
    - remove battery, disconnect the AC adaptor
    - wait ~ 40min
    - connect both devices again and try to power up the notebook

  • Satellite L650-1KR PSK1JE - dead after BIOS update

    As the subject already states, my Satellite L650 - 1KR Part No. PSK1JE is totally OFF after BIOS-Update 2.40-WIN from bios-download-page.
    I tried everything: Press all buttons, take out the laptop battery, only laptop battery, ...simply nothing!
    My last hope is a hidden, very special key sequence for toshiba laptops or something like this.
    Of course my warranty is already over... :-(
    Please help!
    Thank you in advance...

    Sorry to hear you have such problem now. I presume something went wrong and now the BIOS chip is screwed up and in such situation you need professional help. Toshiba service provider can help you with this but Im afraid it can be very expensive.
    In the past I never had such problems but on the net you can find many pages with description what can be done. Visit this page and check if you can find something useful there. I mean you can try to fix it alone.
