I have Toshiba satellite M40 when install windows make restart and restart again and refuse to complete installing the windows after I change ram the installation of windows completed and after loading the desk top image about 5 seconds making restart again and every time I turn the computer on loading the windows and stay about 5 seconds and restart again

First of all, I would run diagnostics on RAM (memory) and hard drive. You can find these utilities on Ultimate Boot CD. Download an iso image, burn it on a CD and boot your laptop from that CD. For memory test I use Memtest86+. For hard drive test use manufacturer's test utility (also available on Ultimate Boot CD). Before testing, you can remove RAM modules one by one and test the laptop with each RAM module separately. It's possible one of the RAM slots on the motherboard is bad.

What kind of foil is used for this (other than your kitchen tin foil)? Can you buy foil tape at the hardware store?

I have a toshiba satellite L645D It has started freezing up on the internet. It reboots frequently I never put my hands near the speakers. This tutorial is awesome, and I wish it would work for me.

Possible memory failure. Most likely you have two memory modules installed so you can try the following troubleshooting: - Remove memory modules one by one and test the laptop with only one module installed - Try installing each memory module into different slots If one of the modules is bad, the laptop should start working properly when the bad module removed.

Hello, I have a satellite A205 that just stopped working yesterday. Worked fine the night before, closed the cover and the next day nothing happens when trying to boot up. A couple of times the boot screen comes up stating that Windows did not shut down properly and if I wanted to boot up normally or safe mode. It said this may have been caused by a recent update. There have been no signs of any issues, power or otherwise. Power cord light is on, battery light is on and power light comes on. Any ideas?
