Satellite C660-2Q8 does not start with 8GB RAM

hello i have a toshiba satellite c660-2q8 laptop,
when i got it it only had 1g of Ram i now have got 8g of RAM for it but as soon as i fit it the laptop starts like normal with the BIOS screen then i get a black screen with a flashing - and thats it.
After some time it will restart and do it again.
I have contacted the place i got the RAM it.
The RAM is right and there said it was the BIOS that needs updating but it is version 1.50 and will not update cos it is up to date if i put the old RAM back it boots fine
can some one please help

Its NOT BIOS issue but the RAM modules are NOT compatible.
Even if the guys says that the RAM module are right, obviously they are NOT
The 4GB Genuine Toshiba PC3 DDR3 (1333MHz) Memory Module PA3918U-1M4G should be OK and should work properly.
Also the Kingston modules are great and provide good quality.
Cheaper modules might not be fully compatible or would not work properly.

  • Satellite A660-11M: Does not start with 8GB of RAM, but works with 6GB

    Satellite A660-11M:
    I upgraded my RAM from 4GB (2x2GB) to 8GB (2x4GB). When I start the computer I can see in the BIOS it reads the 8GB of RAM. However, when it boots up, it does not go past the blank DOS screen (just before starting Windows).
    If I remove one of the 4GB & replace with a 2GB (so I have 6GB in total) it starts ok.
    Does anyone know how can I get it to work with 8GB of RAM?

    Hey,
    To be honest I never heard about SanMax RAM modules...
    In my opinion the problems is related to your RAM modules Not compatible to your notebook or defective.
    Can you test it with high quality modules from Kingston or pretested modules from an authorized service provider?

  • "Layer 1 does not start with a new cell" replicator error

    Hi All,
    I recently sent a dual layer +R DVD off to our replication house and their system is returning a message that says: "Layer 1 of DVD-Video does not start with a new cell".
    I know from reading that the dual-layer breakpoint must be set to the end of a cell, but what does the word "cell" translate into for DVDSP4?
    I had the DVD DL+R set to Automatic and Non-Seamless for output for the break point. Should I just try setting the break point manually at the beginning or ending of a track that would be dubbed as just a little more than half the size of the content? (I know in OTP, the Layer 0 has to be bigger than Layer 1)
    Please Help!
    Cheers,
    Dusty

    Thanks both of you for your replies.
    Eric, I am currently exporting DDPs to send in to the replicator. I also emailed them asking if they accept this format for delivery. (Which I would hope they would, as it is, an answer to DLT of sorts) Thanks for bringing this up, DDP is new to me, as this is our first DL project for replication.
    Drew, to answer your reply, yes I have two viable markers (chapter markers) that show up in black, not grayed out, in the tab you mentioned under formatting. I chose manual break point selection for this last disc I burned and chose chapter 4 of that track. (chapter 4 and chapter 5 of track 6 are only options) I have to assume that the "automatic" setting was selecting chapter 5, as it had to see that as the last viable marker available to select, as described in the DVDSP4 manual.
    DVDSP4 says that all markers are considered cells- Or actually that tracks are cells and that the markers within them make up more cells. So my question, outside of DDP option, would be, "what truly constitutes a cell boundary in DVDSP4?" Is it the markers within the tracks or the beginning or ends of the tracks themselves?
    As a side note, I burned the disc that received the error, "Layer 1 doesn't start with a new cell" from an IMG i created from DVDSP4 through Disk Utility. Word is that IMG's somehow don't include breakpoint information.
    So at this point I don't know if it is the IMG or the fact that DVDSP4 wants the break at one of two possible chapter markers in track 6.
    (Some more background- this is a TV show season DVD, with thirteen tracks of video, each with 12-14 chapter markers a piece.)
    Any more thoughts to help clear the air on what constitutes a true new cell boundary?
    Thanks sooo much Eric and Drew, I know this a long read.
    Cheers,
    Dusty

    It looks like you are getting this error when trying to use the RequestDispatcher. There are two different flavors of the RequestDispatcher :ServletRequest.getRequestDispatcher that will take a relative path and ServletContext.getRequestDispatcher that will only take absolute paths (ie start with a '/').
    If yoy are trying the use the second version of RequestDispatcher you'll need to adjust the path to an absolute path.

  • More detail and a reply for the CQ50 - 130US will not boot with 8gb ram post

    The specs, on the web site say that the  max memory supported is 3GB DDR2 because the notebook was built with the OS Vista(32 bit) installed so that’s why the manual has the 3 GB max. memory supported limit. The 32 bit OS can’t address memory over 3.12 GB.   To my mind that is not a spec. but rather a tech. writer who made a mistake and copied the sales literature.  With Windows 7(64 bit) Pro. installed the OS can address up to192GB of memory if the system supports it.  Other Compaq and HP Notebooks can deal with 8GB of memory installed. That’s why I would think HP’s could easily fix this with a patch or use one of their other BIOS’s. 
    The difference between 4GB and 6GB is that with 6GB system runs faster and the display quality has improved.  I have set the cache size to large and the executive paging is set to off in the registry. The menu(System Properties - Performance Options – Advanced – Virtual Memory) is set to automatically manage the paging file size.

    You should keep it in the original; thread you started.

  • 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 1800-814 does not start if AC adapter is plugged in

    Hello,
    I've got a problem with my 3 year old 1800-814.
    It all began with sudden Windows crashes. Sometimes it ran smooth, sometimes it just hung up. So I decided to reinstall the notebook. My Problem is when it is plugged into pressing the power on button does not start the laptop. Just the green light is on nothing else happens. Sometimes it starts after a wait of 3 or 5 secs. On battery it starts every time. What can I do? Defect hardware or just dust somewhere?
    Thanks,
    Jens Grieger

    Hi,
    If you have a voltage tester test the AC adapter and see if it has the right current voltage, which is written on the adapter. If it does, plug the adapter into the portable and move it around, see if the light turns on and off while you are moving the ac plug(near where it plugs in to the computer, to see if it is a loose ac harness inside the computer). Does the computer randomly turn off if you have the battery removed? Or do you notice that it suddenly switches to battery power and back to AC adapter while the adapter is plugged in? Could be the adapter. Check that first. If that is good, then check the adapter plug(located on the back of the computer, where the adapter plugs in) to see if it is loose. If you find that it is loose, you can take it to an Authorised Service Provider and have them fix it. I hope this helps.

    Hey community,

    But I only get the error message: (see also attached)

    Does anyone have an idea?
    Thank you very much in advance.

    Hi Florian,
    I don't think you need to use FM SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING.
    Just try to make of your binary output table from ARCHIV_GET_TABLE an xstring by concatenating all lines into one xstring.

  • Satellite L650-12Q does not start up

    I have a toshiba L650Q laptop. Its been working fine since 1.5years now..
    Just a couple of days back I closed the laptop ie closed the screen ( typically it puts the same in sleep mode).
    After about 10 min when I tried to open & start up the laptop simply does not startup :(
    I can see the battery & power adapter LED glow, but when I press the start button, it simply does not start..
    there is momentary glow of the power on button, i hear the fan trying to start up & then it dies down in abt 2 seconds & laptop simply does not start up..
    I tried the below troubleshooting steps but no success
    1) I removed the battery & tried starting using the adapter, it dint start up
    2) I put the battery out for like 1 hour & then tried again, it dint start up
    Please advise the troubleshooting steps or any pointers as what could the problem be & how can i resolve it..
    Message was edited by: dhiru23

    Try this:
    - Remove the battery and disconnect the AC adaptor.
    - Press power button 30sec long
    - Connect battery and AC adaptor to the notebook
    - Try to power up the unit.
    If this fails, check the memory modules.
    Remove one module and try to boot the notebook using one module. Run the test for each slot and module.

  • Satellite A300-1G2 does not work with 3GB or 4GB of memory

    Does not work with 3GB or 4 GB memory, only 2 GB!
    And if I plug one memory module of 2 GB in bank1 (bank0 is empty) - it's does not work too!
    It's happened with 3 notebooks. (Sorry, my English is not good :) )

    Did you think about one fact that the notebook doesnt support 3GB or 4GB RAM?
    No?
    Maybe you should check the user manual firstly which is preinstalled on the notebook.
    I think you would find very important info.
    Notebooks with Intel Mobile GL960 chipset supports max memory capacity of 2GB!!!
    As Im not mistaken your notebook was equipped with the Intel Mobile GL960 chipset so the case must be clear now. or not?
    Additionally is important to know that you have to use always first memory bank/slot (bank0) if you are using ONLY one memory module!!
    Bye
    I think you can assign 10 points ;)

  • Satellite C660-108 does not boot if USB Bluetooth dongle connected

    Hiya,
    I hope you would help me.
    I am having an issue with my bluetooth dongle and satellite c660-108.
    It works all perfectly. It connects devices via bluetooth and I can do everything I want.
    But then when I am shutting down laptop and turning on again it won't go if the bluetooth dongle is still in the usb socket.
    I see Toshiba screen and then it hangs with black screen and blinking cursor in top left corner.
    I have to turn it off, take out the bluetooth dongle and then turn it on again.
    And then windows starts. After that I have to put in bluetooth dongle again if I want to work with it.
    It is not a huge issue but it is a bit annoying when I have to take out the bluetooth and put it back again to get the windows started.
    I am currently running under win 8.1 but had it already with win 8.
    Anybody any ideas??

    >I see Toshiba screen and then it hangs with black screen and blinking cursor in top left corner.
    Mostly the blinking cursor appears because the notebook cannot find an bootable device.
    It looks like the unit cannot switch to the HDD while the USB dongle is connected.
    I would recommend you checking the booting order in the BIOS.
    Set the HDD at the first place and the USB as last possible booting device.
    Save the changes and check if it helps.

  • Satellite M-series does not start correctly

    Hello,
    I have the following problem: suddenly (don't know why, nothing changed) Satellite notebook shows black white screen with about the following:
    (sorry, translated from german):
    windows did not start correctly... due to software or hardware change.. pls choose last functional configuration if mistake was due to power shut down...
    But this does not work, also all other options (start windows as normal, start in safe mode...did not work.
    No idea what happenend !
    Problem:
    Actually moved to another country and forgot or lost recovery CD ! already contacted Toshiba for new one but maybe anyway somebody can help?

    Hmm. Stupid situation. If possible try to obtain Microsoft WXP installations CD to see if you can start installations procedure properly and if you can use repair option too.
    It is not easy to say what is wrong there but I just hope there is no problem with HDD. Try to use original recovery disc.
