Blue screen of death after ram upgrade on a Toshiba Satellite C655 laptop

I ordered an upgrade for a Toshiba Satellite C655(PSC08U-02D037) running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. I've trying for a month to get this to work consistently. When I first installed it, it worked fine for the first few days, but then after that I kept getting an error that would pop up "Display has Stopped Responding And Recovered" and the screen would flicker turn to black for a second. It didn't happen a lot at first, but then it got progressively worse to the point that it would crash my browsers, and sometimes when I tried to play certain videos, I would get the blue screen of death, and then the computer would have to restart.
I updated my bios, graphics drivers, I checked to see if maybe I failed to install it properly and reinstalled it, no avail. Finally I just took the ram out, and then I stopped having these issues. Which leads me to believe that it may have something to do with the memory upgrade. I ran the scanner as suggested when I was looking to upgrade, and what was recommended was a ( System 2gb DDR3-1600 Sodimm 1.35v CL11 ) ram stick part number CT6316802, which is the one I ended up ordering. I'm not sure what else to do but assume that what I ordered is either defective or just doesn't work with my laptop.

Hi jinjoe,
I am sorry for the issues you are experiencing with your upgrade. How is this memory installed? Is it just one module or did you purchase two? Did you install it with any exisitng RAM? If you have two modules have you tried installing one module at a time? This would help us determine if the issue is with one defective memory module or both causing the issue.

Toshiba satellite c655 won't start

toshiba satellite c655 when I start it up it gets to the first screen that says "Toshiba Leading innovation" blinks then loops only responding keys are F2 and F12. I tried holding "0" to restore following the virtual help desk's instructions but that doesn't work. Anybody know what the probloem could be or have a solution?

Try this. Turn off your laptop, unplug all wires, remove the battery, and hold the power button for thirty seconds. Afterwards, reattach the battery and connections.
If it's still unresponsive, you may want to contact customer support at (800) 457-7777.
Gave it a try just now, not effective. I'll give customer support a try let you know if I get anything from it.

Toshiba Satellite C655 Not Windows10 Upgradeable?

My Satellite C655 (Part # PSC0YU-00K002) is only a couple of years old, but it looks like it is not listed in the official list of upgradeable PCs on Toshiba's upgrade list page (http://win10upgrade.toshiba.com/swupdate/modellist.aspx?region=TAIS&lang=en&country=US).
Should I try to upgrade manually through Microsoft? Would I then have to go back to Toshiba and download all new drivers?
Any advice?

If your computer is not listed in the Toshiba's list, you likely have to take a risk yourself. My Satellite C655 has been likely successful to upgrade Windows from 7 to 10 but failed to access the Internet. The Setting page of the Windows 10 on my computer says, "We couldn't find wireless devices on this PC". According to the Microsoft Support, Answer Desk, the Checking System in the Windows 10 Upgrading Icon check the computer only for whether or not it is compatible to the upgrading process, not it works on Windows 10.

Win 7 Won't Load on Toshiba Satellite C655 S5060

Okay, so I'm not sure what happened. Computer was unresponsive so I forced a hard shutdown. After that, it won't load Windows 7 and gives me 2 options: Launch windows repair or start win normal.
The second option, start windows normally, takes a few minutes, comes to a blue screen of error, then shuts down, restarts, back to the same 2 options.
The first option, takes me to a screen that says windows files loading (something like that), then it hangs forever in a black/grey screen and the ONLY thing I can see is that mouse arrow!!!
I read about Toshiba's recovery option of pressing zero while turning on laptop but I know that will delete all my files. Before I go down that route, I wanted help here just to see if I can save it... "Better".
So, my desktop went to all hell too but I was able to grab an iso (win 7 recovery disc, 64 bit) and burn it onto cd. I tried using that as well as a 32 bit one and when I boot from those, the laptop just sorta says 'windows files loading", then same black/grey screen with mouse arrow (only thing that shows).
I've never played with a laptop like this. If I want to save my files on the hard drive, what are my options? Anything cheap or free? And doing that "0" reset will wipe everything clean, right?
Oh yeah, and when I did other options, debugging etc. it would try loading all these files and right after saying:
"loaded: \windows\systems32\DRIVERS\CLASSPNP.SYS"
it would hang, then crash after a min or two.... :/
Thanks for your time. Please list directions step by step, and I can get back with info.

can the drive not be put into a desktop tower as is? I think when I built the desktop 6 years ago, I installed 2 drives
As a secondary drive? Sure. Do that and copy the important files.
We can try to resurrect Windows from the recovery environment if you like. If you didn't burn a repair disk, download one from here. Scroll down to Windows 7 System Repair Disc 64-bit.
Create a Windows 7 System Repair Disc
Use it to boot to the Windows Recovery Environment.
What are the system recovery options in Windows 7?

Toshiba Satellite C655 SP4168M freezes while playing a game

So i've been having problems with mi laptop very recently with a game i'm playing (League of legends), the game normally works perfectly, but at random times it just completely freezes (making an awkward sttutering sound) and i have to forcefully shutdown and restart the PC. It doesnt happen ALL the time, but when it happens it's really annoying, and i can either happen once every week, or several times daily. I already repaired the video driver but that didnt help, i was thinking about updating the BIOS; but cant find the correct version for my laptop, and i cant even be sure that's actually the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

try using a program like "Piriform Speccy" (free version), and monitor the CPU temps as you are using the system. If it gets up into the orange and red while watching videos, you may need to apply fresh thermal paste to the CPU.
My old L355 is starting to freeze while watching youtube videos the other day, and just confirmed that the CPU is overheating. Will be tearing it apart hopefully tonight to be cleaned up and have a fresh application of arctic silver on the CPU.

Satellite C655-S5044 won't recognize TSST CDDVDW TS-L633C ATA device after windows 7 update

Laptop: Toshiba Satellite C655-S5044; Windows 7 64-bit
DVD Drive - TSST CDDVDW TS-L633C ATA Device
After an automatic Windows update, the CD/DVD drive is no longer recognized.
Running troubleshoot on the PC yields:
Problem detected with TSST CDDVDW TS-L633C ATA Device Driver has been disabled
Checking for new drivers says I have the latest.
I tried running a microsoft fixit for DVD/CD drives - no problem found
I tried deinstalling the driver, then rebooting. This yields a message:
Device Driver was not successfully installed please consult with your device manufacturer.
I tried the TSST website for Toshiba and that rerouted me here.
Searching the forums I have seen similar issues with other hardware/OS combinations but not exactly the same.
Additional Info from the device manager:
Device Type: DVD/CD-ROM Drive
Manufacturer: (Standard CD-ROM drives)
Location: Location 0 (Channel 1, target 0, Lun 0)
I suspect that I have multiple device drivers on the computer for this device and the OS is installing one that doesn't work.
How can I get the correct current driver and install it?
Does anyone recognize this problem and have a fix?
Thanks.

Satellite C655-S5044
I didn't find that model anywhere.
Device Driver was not successfully installed please consult with your device manufacturer.
The driver is native to Windows. Sounds to me like a hardware malfunction.
After an automatic Windows update,..
In a Microsoft forum, they would tell you to do a System Restore to before the Windows Update. If that fixed the problem, then apply the updates one at a time to identify the culprit.

Satellite C655 - how to fix the hard drive input plug?

I have a brand new Toshiba Satellite C655 could I fix the hard drive input plug because somebody snapped it off and also the start button was removed off the board.
Could anyone let me know by email [email protected] if I can please explain how?
Also have a Toshiba U300 which is flicking screen then turns blue and switches off and on by itself.

> I have a brand new Toshiba Satellite C655 could I fix the hard drive input plug because somebody snapped it off and also the start button was removed off the board.
Do you mean the SATA connector on the motherboard? Is it broken?
Well, I dont think its easy to fix. If something is broken on the motherboard, then mostly you will need an new motherboard or you would ask an specialist (electronics technician) for help.
> Also have a Toshiba U300 which is flicking screen then turns blue and switches off and on by itself.
Try to clean the cooling ventilators using compressed air spray. Mostly the notebook switches OFF automatically due to higher temperature and cleaning cooling fans can help to get better cooling performance.

Satellite C655 Won't Play Sound Anymore

My Toshiba Satellite C655 won't play sound through my built-in speakers.
The sound is turned up, it is not muted, and the internal speakers are the default. I can plug in my headphones and it will work, but it won't come through the speakers. This is the first time I've had this problem and I've had the laptop for about 5 months now.
Please help!

Hello
Please click with right mouse button on sound symbol in task bar and choose option layback devices.
Is option Speakers listed there?
Is it set to default device? If not define it as default device (right mouse button on it and choose option Set as default device.

Hard drive - MK5065GSXN for Satellite C655-S506

Hi,
I received an HD error on Win7. I am planning to buy a new HD.
Laptop: Toshiba Satellite C655-S506
HD: MK5065GSXN 500GB HDD (5400rpm, Serial ATA)
Where can I order/get the same HD (in USA) ? Tried getting the same from google but I am not satisfied with the results. Can you pls. provide the links?
Thanks.

It is not easy to get info about this old Satellite notebook but I know that this old models have HDD with IDE interface and was offered with 20 or 30 GB capacity.
I dont know for sure but I believe you can use HDDs with more capacity and I think 60 or maybe 80 GB would be enough.
Where you can buy such HDDs?
I believe you can order it online in some online store but you can get it cheap on eBay.
To be honest no one need such old HDDs so you can get one on eBay for less money.

Toshiba-Satellite Laptop Model C655-55225 stopped working after 90 days

I purchased a Toshiba - Satellite Laptop on 9/30/2011, it completely stopped working on 1/5/12. The laptop was not even used until 12/25/11, as it was a Christmas present for my husband. I called Customer Service at Best Buy because Toshiba Customer Service has been of no help, only to be told to call Toshiba. When I called Toshiba the first time they had us run some diagnostics on the laptop, which did not help at all. The computer will not even power up. Please keep in mind this laptop was gently used and well taken care of for the two weeks it was in use. There were no bumps, drops, virus or spills. I have spent a small fortune on products at Best Buy this holiday season and this is how they treat their customers? They offered no suggestions or help at all with a product they sold or offered to intercede with Toshiba. I can tell you with all certainty I will never buy another Toshiba product nor darken a BestBuy entryway. The customer service is equally awful with both companies.

Did they give you any other reason why they wouldn't send it out? It is a pretty common procedure to send it out under manufacturers warranty and I am surprised they would shoot you down. Did you talk to geeksquad or just customer service?

USB Ports on 3 month old Satellite C655-S5049 do not work-even after Recovery to "Out-of-Box" state

Hello - Hoping someone can help with another suggestion- it doesn't look good.
Both USB ports on my wife's 3 month old Satellite C655-S5049 are non-functional with any USB device. Flash drives, wireless mouse, and external hard drive (powered) that all work on all of my other computers, do not work in either of this laptop's USB ports.
This problem seems to have developed gradually, and became noticeable previously as non-responsiveness in the wireless mouse, which gradually became a concern, with the computer appearing to freeze or lock-up - probably because of the number of times the mouse was clicked on shortcuts and executables before something happened.
The ports are now completely "dead"- no recognition of anything inserted once the computer is up and running.
There appears to be a thermal component involved, since I was able to get the devices recognized and working for up to a minute when booting the computer with the devices in the ports after it had been off for several hours after I did the default state recovery. The flash drive and mouse were recognized, drivers loaded message, but they then went to "unplugged" before I could get the cursor moving. I was able to access the flash drive, since I did it as soon as the driver loaded, but then it disappeared ("un-plugged" itself in the driver loaded message box). I can also get them recognized from this COLD boot state when I immediately plug them in once Windows 7 (64) loads, but they quickly disappear. If I wait a few minutes before re-booting, they flash during the Windows boot, but drop-out before it completes. If I wait 3-4 hours to re-boot, they flash (are recognized) for about a minute (Windows completely loads), but then they drop out.
I tried all of the suggestions on this board (and others) before doing a Recovery to Factory Default state. I have tried it with the original version 1.20 Bios, and with the version 1.50 Bios update. All driver updates have been downloaded and installed. The laptop does occasionally lock-up at the Toshiba screen during boot, and is verrrry slow in some operations (2 hours to do the recovery discs). The only other noticeable problem (at this time) is an occasional drop-out of wireless (Atheros AR9285) connectivity, which I have been blaming on the router since it is sporadic and infrequent (not consistent with the thermal argument). These problems are all after the Factory Default State recovery operation, so my assumption is that they are hardware based.
Any suggestions for a solution? This is a standard spec Satellite C655-S5049 that I was considering adding another 2GB memory to, but now I am unsure of its' future. A laptop cooler that runs from a USB port seems counter-productive.
I am technically capable, so you can be much briefer in your response than I have been in trying to fully detail the problems. This isn't the NVidia chip, but it does bring back memories of laptops past.
Thanks for any help,
G

I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME MODEL. I GOT THE SERVICE
MANUAL AND I'M THINKING TO OPEN IT AND SEE IF THERE'S SOME PHYSICAL BAD CONNECTION
INSIDE. BUT LIKE YOU SAID. IT'S ONLY THREE MONTHS OLD.!!! I DON'T WANT TO RUIN THE WARRANTEE.
BUT THIS IS VERY FRUSTATING. I WANDER IF TOSHIBA DOES THIS ON PURPUSE.!!! KEEP IN TOUCH AND
IF YOU NEED THE SERVICE MANUAL CONTACT ME AT [email protected]
THANK YOU.!!!!
