Satellite A100 shuts down after memory upgrade

Consider me as 1 of the thickie bunch.. Not even sure wot im talkin bout but here goes n e way...........
Have a Satellite A100 570 ( PSAA2E)..........
Have tried several different online sites lookin for memory upgrade. Didn't have the witt to use toshiba site...... Ended up going with Crucial.........
Ran diagnostic on laptop and was sent the module a needed.or so i thought....... wrong 1 or 1s as i bought 2 x 1G modules in order to " double up".....
Got my money back as they were not compatable with my system.. something to do with density problems....
Tried company called OFFTEK........ they seemed to know what they were talkin about....... I have from Offtek. at present a..........
200 Pin 1.8v DDR2 PC2-4200 SoDimm....... but Toshiba have recommended below......
1GB PC2-4300 DDR2 Memory (533MHz)
Part Number: PA3411U-2M1G
1024MB (1GB) Memory PC2-4300 DDR2 (533MHz)
Theres an obvious difference ...... 4200 and 4300. But im not sure if its a significant difference........... or what it means
Have updated bios to most recent version and basically updated everything toshiba had to offer for this model...........
Ran EVEREST and it recognises the 1G module but when i take out the original 512mb module the laptop starts for about 3 seconds then shuts down...
this repeats about 5 times then complete shutdown.....
I dont like opening the back cover too often but this is the 3rd module ....
Not sure whats meant to happen if the module is working...i.e start up message..not sure if windows recognises 1G module....
Would it be safer bet to send Offtek module and stick with toshiba option.....
Thanks in advance.....

Cheers R2........ suppose at this stage i could start rhyming off a load of star wars lines but uve probably hears them all before.......
N e way......... checked out the link u posted..........very useful......
The module described is identical to what i have.............As with previous reply ( above ) im not sure what to do.........might take up Offteks offer of replacing the module but slightly concerned it might have same outcome......Still not happy bout opening the cover so much........nut needs must i suppose

  • A665-S6070 shuts down after memory upgrade. Help please!

    This is a critical problem that needs to be addressed by Toshiba. 
    When looking through the forum, they are quite a few threads exactly like this.
    1.  upgrade from 4gb to 8gb
    2.  everything  good, except resume from "suspend".    (hibernate works fine also)
    3.  when resuming from "suspend" ,    fan speeds up for 2 secs -- and hard shutdown.
    There clearly is an issue with the Toshiba laptop(s) when upgrading 4GB to 8GB.
    Windows MemTest shows the memory is okay.  
    Also, all of my applications are blazing fast now with the Kingston memory module upgrade KTT1066D3/4G
    Again, the only issue is when trying to resume from suspend.

  • Why it takes long time to shut down after i upgrade to OS X ver 10.8.2?

    why it takes long time to shut down after i upgrade to OS X ver 10.8.2?

    Can't really say, but I see this occurring on all of my Macs since the 10.8.2 update and keep reading about it at several other Mac user boards.
    Bottom line: it's a general problem, but more of an inconvenience, than a serious problem. Probably will be solved with the next update.

  • HT4623 My iPhone 4S keeps shutting down after I upgraded to iOS7

    My iPhone 4S keeps shutting down after I upgraded to iOS7

    This has happend twice to me in the past 12 hours since I just updated to iOS 7.0.2, but did not happen after I updated to iOS 7
    Last night the operating system crashed to the Apple symbol (a reset) when browsing the settings menu.
    Perhaps it's a bug with the movement tracking? Seems to be connected with sudden movements (I noticed it shut off when I quickly lifted the phone up to look at the screen) - perhaps the background parallax is glitching the system to a software reset? If my problem persists I may temproarily disable the parallax to see if that mitigates the resets.
    To be clear, the update to iOS 7 didn't precipitate this problem, and I updated to iOS & on the day of its release (9/18).
    This used to happen to me sporadically on my iphone 4s on iOS6, usually when my battery was anywhere at 40% to 5% - though I suspect that was because I was due to re-set the battery by completely draining it.
    Is anyone else having this issue with their iPhone 4S?
    I'm using a Verizon iPhone 4s 64 GB, still in excellent condition.

  • IPhoto automatically shuts down after attempted upgrade

    I have the latest version of iPhoto, but when I try to open it, I get the following message:
    The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto.
    Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete.
    When I hit "upgrade," it just shuts down. No upgrade. No iPhoto.
    Anything I can do?

    As a test dpress and hold the option key while launching iPhoto and create a new test library - import a few photos into this test library and report back with the results of this test

  • Re: Satellite A105 shuts down after 60 seconds (NOT a thermal problem)

    Satellite A105-s4344 shuts down after EXACTLY 60 seconds. The mobo has been removed from bezels and all un-needed devices removed (DVD, HDD, WiFI etc.). Swapped CPU and RAM with known good ones. Swapped AC adapter and battery with known good. Does the same on AC or DC only inputs.
    I have not yet flashed the BIOS (with 60 seconds this would be foolish). But, I am looking into replacing or reflashing with an EEPROM burner. Currently has V 2.0
    I am not sure what genration heat detecting this system uses, but it is a possible cause if it is one of the later generations (visit http://www.topbits.com/how-to-monitor-cpu-temperature.html if you do not know that I am refering to).
    Prior to reballing the north and south bridge, and flashing I figured I would get some input from you folks. Just to cover all bases ;)
    P.S. the first person to ask what OS I am using will get an instant ticket to the bottom of my respect list.

    >P.S. the first person to ask what OS I am using will get an instant ticket to the bottom of my respect list.
    :) :) :) Best thing I saw in this forum.
    Back to your problem.
    I am not technician but here just my opinion about all this. The fact is that after switching your notebook ON CPU in just few seconds reaches very high temperature. You can switch your notebook ON and just enter BIOS settings and the same should happen again.
    I cannot say for sure if this is 100% thermal issue or not but what else can be responsible for switching off? CPU will be hot in few seconds only. Material change structure with temperature change and I can just imagine some contact will be interrupted.
    On this forum we had many similar reports like when cold notebook starts and runs well but after short time switches off for no reason. Maybe I am wrong but for me it sounds like thermal or bad contacts issue. Lets see what other people have to say about it.

  • Satellite A10 shuts down after 40 mins

    A-10 Pro keeps shutting down after 40 mins, power source is always the AC lead, can anyone help?
    Has been checked for the following:-
    Viruses
    Power managment - on never shut down
    Cooling fan seems to be okay

    Hi guys
    The compressed air spray is a nice tool to clean the internal cooling ventilators!
    Usually the dust and debris prevent the fans from properly rotation and therefore the temperature increases and leads to the overheating issues
    Use simply such spray and you will solve this!

  • Satellite A100 - Shut down by itself and will not boot anymore

    Satellite A100 PSAA9A-10U038. Laptop shut down by itself whilst in use. No BIOS upgrades or changes. No lights of any kind showing, no POST.
    I have tried the AC power adapter on another machine and works fine. Called Toshiba told me power adapter probably at fault, if I wish to have them look will cost $120.
    I'm thinking maybe motherboard died? Any help would be appreciated.
    Tony

    hi Laptop Larry,
    try to boot without the batterypack....
    can you see the "toshiba screen" while booting?
    you can also try to:
    - remove hdd
    - remove added memory (with no mem the unit should "beep")
    - remove odd (cd-drive)
    if you cant get the system to boot (able to enter bios, see toshiba logo on screen, no beep)
    than it's possible that your mobo died...

  • Elitebook 9470m shuts down after Ram Upgrade

    Hey guys
    I bought 2 Kingston 8GB Ram for my HP Elitebook Folio 9470m (Windows 8 Pro) to upgrade it from 8GB to 16GB. According to Kingstons' "Memory Search" the RAM I bought should work with my laptop:
    8GB Module - DDR3 1600MHz
    Artikelnummer: KTH-X3C/8G
    Herst.-Artikelnummer: 689374-001; B4U40AA; H2P65AA
    Techn. Daten: DDR3, 1600MHz, Non-ECC, CL11, 1.5V, Unbuffered, SODIMM, 204-pin
    I installed the two Kingston Rams and removed the one from HP because I read that the ram should be from the same brand.
    After the proper installation of the two Rams the Laptop shuts down during startup or the repair modus comes up with no result. 
    If I install the HP Ram and one Kingston Ram, everything works fine, but i can't install both Kingston rams without the mentioned problem. Why?? :-)
    Thanks in advance for your help guys!
    This question was solved.

    Yes it should work. I checked the Kingston site and this memory is specifically recommended for your model. I would try each Kingston module separately with the HP module and run a memtest extended test on it.
    http://memtest86.com/download.htm
    Make a bootable cd or usb stick with memtest and run it on each module. I suspect you got a bad stick of RAM. At the least if it does not work Kingston is very reputable and they will refund your money.  Here is the memory suggested by Crucial:

  • Server 2012 X64 R2 DNS Server keeps shutting down after inplace upgrade from Server 2012 X64

    The DNS Server service terminated unexpectedly.  It has done this 497 time(s).  The following corrective action will be taken in 60000 milliseconds: Restart the service.

    I have tried removing and then reinstalling the DNS Server role, but the same situation occurs..
    thanks,

    Hi,
    I'm going crazy,  I've upgraded my Server 2012 Standard to Server 2012 R2 Standard and now my DNS server keeps crashing since the in place upgrade.  I have finally narrowed it down to it only crashes after several minutes if I load the data from
    a file instead of the registry.  As a test I:
    -1- killed all my dns data,
    -2- uninstalled the dns server role
    -3- deleted the /windows/system32/dns directory
    -4- reinstalled the DNS server role
    -5- used the wizard to create a DNS server and a forward zone.
    everything works okay, no crashes,  then I change the advanced propertied of the DNS server to load from file, restart the DNS server and once again it crashes every 2 minutes..
    Please help,  this is killing me..
    thanks in advance..

  • IMac randomly shuts down after Leopard Upgrade

    My wife's iMac randomly shuts down since we installed Leopard. It wasn't doing this before the Leopard upgrade.
    It takes about 5 mins. of inactivity after the machine enters sleep mode, then it shuts down. We've searched the Discussions but have yet to see an answer to our question. Nothing but an iSight is plugged in to the machine. Any suggestions?

    Same problem with random shut downs that get more and more frequent making the computer unusable. Took to Apple Store where they did not recognise the problem - tried replacing RAM then power cable then power supply. Said problem was fixed but started to recur within a short time of using it back home. Used install discs to reinstall the original operating system (Mac OS X 10.5.2) and the problem resolved - on upgrading to Mac OS X 10.5.8 the problem immediately recurred. Have gone back to 10.5.2 now and all seems okay.
    Seems strange that there are so many postings about this and Apple Store (Genius staffseem to be unaware of it as a problem).

  • My Satellite 2410 shuts down after resuming from Stand by mode

    My laptop shuts down when i resume it from stand by. I have Satellite 2410-303 windows xp Home Edition Sp-2.
    any help?

    Hi,
    could it be possible that you have Software installed, that doesnt support the standby function?
    Often Programs like Firewalls or AntiVirus Programs are the reason.

  • Satellite P30 shuts down after some mins

    I have a Satellite P30 which is several months old. already I have had to restore the system after a crash and now the laptop powers down after 10 or 15 mins use. It doesn't seem to get excessively hot. has anyone had a similar experince and how did you resolve it.
    [Edited by: admin on 26-Nov-05 08:29]

    I have the exact same problem, and i think it might be dust in the cooling system, but i cant find any dokumentation on how to open up the computer to clean it. So if someone know how to split an P30....

  • IPad freezing and shutting down after OS7 upgrade

    Does anyone else have an issue with the iPad suddenly shutting down.  I'm  finding that since the O.S. 7 update my iPad often freezes, is slow to open apps, and will often shut down to the apple icon screen ( like you're doing a full reboot).  I'm also having issues deleting video and it's not like I have my iPad is full.  If anyone has any ideas or tips that would be great.

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    No data is lost due to a reset.

  • Re: Satellite A100 shuts down for no reason then starts buzzing

    Hi there,
    I have had this A100-200 laptop for 18 months with no trouble so far. Today it suddenly turned off, all lights still on showing that is was still had power, but there was a worrying buzzing sound. I turned it off and then rebooted, fine for another hour, the the same thing happened again.
    Anyone had anything similar?

    Haven't heard of that, but it doesn't sound good at all. Where exactly does the buzzing come from? Notebook or the ac adapter?
    Anyway, this should be checked by a local authorised service partner, if you ask me.
