Without the full model of the laptop, there's nothing to say...

Hello! the model its A305D sp6801

The Satellite A305D-SP6801 specifications say that it can accept 4 GB of RAM.  If you are only seeing 2 GB, then the issue is probably incompatible RAM.  If you aren't using the exact Kingston module for your model, 2 each KTT667D2/2G, then that is the problem.  Toshiba laptops are known to be 'picky' about the memory they'll accept.  Other brands may or may not work.

If the modules are KTT667D2/2G's, then I'd suspect a bad module.  This assumes that you've installed the modules properly.

Well I have spend about 100$ on kIngston memories, the retailer sold me the specific memory for toshiba, but the  serial are KVR667D2S5/2G ...   I don't want to spend more money on that one!

Kingston Value RAM (KVR) is not the correct module, despite whatever the retailer said.  It is the cause of your problem.  I hope you can take it back and get a refund.  BTW, the correct memory is $53 a module...
