Satellite L35 - Crashes with 2gb ram installed.

A month back I posted with [problems about upgrading ram|http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=33029]. Eldorado was great with helping me, I appreciate that.
I couldn't find another 1gb that was exactly the same as the 1gb that had been installed a couple months back. So I just got 2 new one's. I installed one about 3 weeks ago, the computer has been running great since (1gb OCZ + 512mb Stock). I installed the 2nd 1gb on Sunday and I'm back to having problems. (just for clarification, they are the same exact brand, speed, model, everything, I bought them a week and a half apart because of the rebate that was on them).
After installing the memory so that I had 2x1gb in the computer, it starts up okay, but then we try to play a game and it crashes, one of the times being BSOD, one of the times it was a black screen. We tried it with 2 different games, counter-strike source, and an old not very intensive game called painkiller.
I'm not sure where to go from here, the memory is this - 1GB 667MHz DDR2 PC2-5400 200-PIN OCZ - CL 5-5-5-15
I do try to research as much as i can before posting, and the only conclusion I can come to is that it's due to it being 667MHz.
Both of the previous 1gb sticks were 667, but they both had the stock stick installed at the same time, which if I remember correctly was 533MHz.
Thanks guys

I had a similar memory issue on my 7 years old notebook.
I upgraded it with 2 x 512MB RAM modules and after a short time a BSOD appeared.
I thought its a faulty RAM or a compatibility issue and therefore I bought an second modules. It was exactly the same. But the BSOD appeared again.
Finally I tested both memory slots using the single modules and found out that the BSOD appears only using a second memory slot with connection to a high temperature.
Simply said the internal high temperature has affected my second memory slot and this led to a BSOD. Now I can use only one memory slot.
I dont think that your second memory slot can be faulty due to the fact that you have already used the 512MB module in the second memory bank. in my opinion the issue must be related to the new installed memory module either its really an compatibility issue or the second module malfunctions.
Bye

Satellite A660 works with 2GB RAM only

Hi
please help me my laptop is Satellite A660 psaw3ew it was works good when it was supply with 6GB ram and i extend ram to 8 G.B and it works good until it stop boot and then i remove the whole Ram and now it is only works with 2 G.B Ram please help me

Hi
There are two possibilities: either the RAM modules are faulty/damage/not compatible or one of the memory slots is damaged.
I think you should test every RAM module in each slot to discover the issue

Performance with 2GB RAM and SSD

I own a late 2010 MBA, 13" baseline model with 2GB RAM, w/SSD. I am using Snow Leopard, and it runs perfectly. I would like to upgrade to ML to sync with ipad, but a concerned with performance. I use my MBA for word processing, emails, and internet surfing, including occasional movie downloads. I cannot upgrade the RAM on this model. I would therefore very much appreciate if someone who has run the latest versio of ML on this model can inform me of its performance w/2GB RAM and an SSD drive. (I know it can run; I want to know how it runs). Thanks very much!

Just went through the same situation with my 2006 iMac. Technically my memory tops out at 3gigs, but I can get 4 in there if I insist (though the machine won't take full advantage).
After a considerable amount of research, and hearing some horror stories of some folks who dove straight into Lion on older machines, I opted on upgrading memory to 3gig, backing up all my data, then running a clean install of Snow Leopard. I then reinstalled all my stuff, followed with a run of Monolingual (a shareware program that removes unnecessary languages and builds), then ran OnyX (another shareware) to run scripts and check/repair permissions.
Works fantastic. Machine is operating perfectly on 10.6.8 and with the memory upgrade and clean drive its running faster than ever. Definite new breath of life in the machine.
As per memory upgrade, I'd recommend going to Crucial. They're very Mac friendly, customer oriented, and reasonably priced. They have a small program you can download that scans your machine to determine the correct chip required, then brings you stright to an info and ordering page. I managed to get a 2gig chip with shipping for about $25. With the Snow Leopard upgrade total cost was under $60 for resuscitation.

Hermes 650 system locks up with 2GB RAM, 1GB OK

I have a Hermes 650 system that keeps locking up when system is upgraded to 2GB RAM. System runs fine with 1GB RAM installed. I tried 2 different brands of 1GB sticks, but same problem.

This is a very old barebones, unfortunately memory support is described as "up to 2GB" and as 1GB sticks weren't commonplace at the time, its possible it might just not work.
1GB should be plenty enough for what this system can handle though.
Have you tried testing the sticks with >>Memtest86<<?

Anyone can confirm that Lion runs as smooth as Snow Leopard with 2GB RAM?

Hello,
I want to install Lion on my 1st gen Air, with 2GB RAM. With Snow Leo, sometimes i have to quit Safari because of the RAM is running low.
So i don't want to upgrade if Lion eats more RAM than Snow Leo.
Can anyone confirm that is it worth to install Lion on a laptop with 2GB RAM?
Thanks

I have a late 2007 2.0GHz Macbook with 4GB of RAM. Snow Leopard ran beautifully on it ( I am a web developer and video editor ).
I clean installed Lion last week and it is very sluggish. It'll often hang and 'spinning beach ball' when doing the simplest tasks such as trying to scroll through a web page, switch applications, open a print dialogue box, etc.
The new UI, animations, and some of the new features of Lion are nice, but I'm considering switching back to Snow Leopard. As a power user on an "older" machine, Lion just doesn't cut it. Depending on what you use your laptop, you might have a fantastic experience with Lion. It certainly takes more video memory, so it's likely newer machines won't struggle with it at all. my concern is that the simple elements of the OS have problems running on my machine, meaning one of two things: 1) Lion is built to run well on newer machines with newer hardware or 2) Lion is built poorly. It seems more likely the former is true. in either case, if you have a "base" machine like Macbook or Mac Mini 2008 or older i'd say stick with SL. otherwise upgrade to your heart's content.

I have a macbook with 2 512 mb ram, and wanting to at least replace one with 2gb ram. Do I need to reinstall OS If I do that?

I have a macbook with 1 gb ram, 2 rams with 512 mb. I am planning to replace one with 2gb ram. Do I need to reinstall OS if I replace one of them? Please help. Thanks.

If you want to upgrade your RAM it;s very easy on most MacBooks with the removable battery. We'll need to know the model to further advise you. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier.

There is no de-authorize process for Lightroom. Just download the latest version and use your License key to authorize on the new computer.

MacBook Pro early 2011 System information shows only 2gb Ram installed but it came with 4gb ??

I have an eary 2011 model of Macbook Pro. It had 4gb of ram installed on it but i recently checked the system information ans found that it only 2gb installed
Please help me resolve this issue .

I'd say either a module fell out or died or was removed.

Only 2gb RAM installed when there should be 4gb.

Hello,
I have a Toshiba Satellite L750 running on Windows 7. It should have 4gb installed (the amount when it was ordered). I noticed it was running slower than usual and that only 2gb was installed. I opened the bottom panel of the laptop and located the two 2048mb chips (Memory 4GB DDR3 1333MHz SDRAM) in upper and lower slots. I then started up the computer with only one chip each time (using the bottom slot) to make sure both were working. The computer started up both times. I then inserted both 2gb chips swapping their respective locations when I first found them. Booted the computer back up and it still only showed 2gb installed. Finally, I opened it up in BIOS it mentioned the same thing. Is there a way that I can reinstall that second 2gb chip to double my amount of ram?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you,
SE
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You indicate you tried both chips in the lower slot and they both worked. Did you try both chips in the upper slot? You may have a bad slot. Make sure the chips are fully seated in the slot and the locking clips are in locked position. Good luck.

Satellite L35-S2161 - OS and drivers install order needed

I will replace the hard drive in my Satellite L35-S2161 next week. (I attempted this a couple of weeks ago but I could not get the wireless or the PowerSaver utility to work so I put the original hard drive back in, and everthing works)
So what drivers need to be installed and in what order. Also, there is no Toshiba Value Added Package listed in the Toshiba Support website for my L35 with Windows XP. So do I need the Toshiba Value Added Package (TVAP), if so where can I find it? I opened my Toshiba Restore Disk and folder COMPS1 contains all the drivers and utilities that I need. But there is no Toshiba Value Added Package (TVAP).
The only thing I can find in the restore disk is a folder named "Toshiba Utilities 1" and the Notepad in that folder says "+This package is for the Toshiba Utilities. It includes Hardware Setup and Power Save features, which can help you to customize your computer's hardware settings+.", Is this the Toshiba Value Added Package??
Yes I can use the restore disk, but I would like to use my retail XP Pro instead. So if anyone can help with the *correct driver/ utility install order*, it will be greatly appreciated
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi
As Im not mistaken, the Satellite L35-S2161 belongs to the Toshiba US series. All the drivers should be placed on the Toshiba US driver page.
The Value Added Package is not created and designed for Win XP. Its only for Vista and Win 7!
Using Win XP you need to install the Toshiba Power Saver Utility for Windows XP (v7.03.07Q; 08-25-2006; 6M) in order to get the power saver installed.
Regarding the WLan:
In my opinion you have not installed the right driver.
There are two different possible WLan cards; WLan or Intel you will need to install the WLan driver which is compatible with Wlan card.

KT4 Ultra MS-6590 - Win XP Home boots with 2GB DDR333 installed but not 3GB

Spec...
KT4 Ultra MS-6590
AMD Athlon XP 3000+ (FSB set to 166MHz in BIOS)
BIOS MS-6590v1.4
Win XP Home 2002, SP3
Problem...
Previously, had 768MB RAM installed, and XP strangely identified CPU as a 2200+.
Recently upgraded the RAM to 3GB DDR333 (3 sticks of 1GB 184-pin unbuff DIMM 128MX64 DDR PC2700), and changed BIOS settings for CPU and DRAM.
In the DOS boot screen, Win XP progress indicator fills completely from left to right, then stops with a half-blinking cursor in the top left of the screen.
Removed 1GB stick and Win XP successfully loaded, also now recognising the Athlon XP 3000+, and running a heck of a lot faster.
Tried adding the /3GB switch to the boot.ini file, which didn't do anything, and after reading more forum advice, guessed this might be irrelevant. I don't think this is a 4GT and PAE issue, as I'm not trying to install above 4GB (if I've correctly understood).
Also, forum advice (various sites) conflicts on whether Win XP 32-bit is limited to 2GB or 4GB, and I can't find any workarounds for my current setup.
Any ideas?

Another test I've done is to enable boot logging with Win XP. This appends command lines to the file 'ntbtlog' in the windows directory, which mainly shows drivers being loaded as Win XP is launched. The log is normally date and time-stamped for every boot-logging session.
When all 3 sticks are installed, I cold boot, then press F8 and select 'enable boot logging' from the options menu. This is what appears on the screen as the system, attempts to load Win XP.
Loaded driver \WINDOWS\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
Loaded driver \WINDOWS\system32\hal.dll
Loaded driver \WINDOWS\system32\KDCOM.DLL
Loaded driver \WINDOWS\system32\BOOTVID.dll
Loaded driver ACPI.sys
Loaded driver \WINDOWS\System32\DRIVERS\WMILIB.SYS
Loaded driver pci.sys
Loaded driver isapnp.sys
Loaded driver viaide.sys
Loaded driver \WINDOWS\System32\DRIVERS\PCIIDEX.SYS
Loaded driver MountMgr.sys
Loaded driver ftdisk.sys
Loaded driver PartMgr.sys
Loaded driver VolSnap.sys
Loaded driver atapi.sys
Loaded driver disk.sys
Loaded driver \WINDOWS\System32\DRIVERS\CLASSPNP.SYS
Loaded driver fltmgr.sys
Loaded driver sr.sys
Loaded driver PxHelp20.sys
Loaded driver KSecDD.sys
Loaded driver Ntfs.sys
Loaded driver NDIS.sys
Loaded driver Mup.sys
Loaded driver BTHidMgr.sys
Then the process freezes and a solid white block appears in the top-left of the screen, with the top-right corner of the block blinking.
At this point, I turn off the PC using the main power switch, then remove the 3rd memory stick. After booting up again, with only 2 sticks installed, opening the text file 'ntbtlog' reveals that this boot event wasn't logged.
So, I reboot Win XP with only the 2 sticks installed, and select 'enable boot logging'. This time, the above list of loaded drivers is shown in the text file, plus a whole lot more. The potentially interesting observation is the next in the list after "Loaded driver BTHidMgr.sys" which is "Loaded driver \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\amdk7.sys".
'amdk7.sys' is a driver file which seems to come with one of the Win XP Service Packs, and which "is necessary to enable Windows XP support for AMD PowerNow! technology on computers that use a mobile Athlon 4 or mobile Duron processor." http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306458
Various other posts refer to it in relation to AMD Athlon XP 3000+ Mobile, whereas mine is a 3000+ in a desktop. Also, if 'amdk7.sys' isn't available, then Win XP will load the generic driver 'processr.sys'. In fact, my 'ntbtlog' includes the entry "Did not load driver \SystemRoot\System32\DRIVERS\processr.sys" which would make sense.
However, my curiosity is that with the 3 sticks installed, Win XP fails to continue loading when reaching 'amdk7.sys' in the driver list.
Another test I did was to change the power management settings in the BIOS.
"IPCA Function: This item is to activate the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power
Management Interface) function. If your operating system is ACPI-aware, such
as Windows 98SE/2000/ME, select Yes. Available options: Yes, No."
This was normally set to Yes. When I set it to No and rebooted with 3 sticks installed, instead of a half-blinking white block (as described above), the screen went black and then the system rebooted itself...
The plot thickens!...
Maybe there's a clear explanation for this - however, I'm wary of doing something to the 'amdk7.sys' driver file (whether removing or disabling it somehow) in case it prevents Win XP from launching with just my 2 sticks installed. I'd guess there are precautions, but need further info on whether this is relevant, and what the implications might be.

Xcode/eclipse C++ on 11" MacBook Air with 2GB RAM, OS X Lion and 64GB SSD?

Hey, I'm planning on getting a 11" MacBook air with a 2GB RAM, 64GB HDD and OS X Lion. I am also going to get a 500GB external HDD with it and I would just like to know if it would be good to run Xcode or eclipse on it so I can code C++? Please note that I will install Xcode/eclipse to the external HDD If that affects the performance? Thanks.

I have a MacBook Pro running Lion. I have both XCode and Eclipse. It should work fine.
