Beyond 4 GB mem W520 fails in 1 location only

I have a dual core w520, initially with 2 x 4 GB. I'm moving to 2x8gb, but 8 GB dimm fails in a slot, but not the other. Same behavior with two DIMMs. Reported errors with memtest86 and weapons of mass destruction. Memtest reports different timings when even chip case is in different locations (lowest in the slot that fails).

Any ideas on why it's a failure?

In case anyone should find this and have had a similar problem... update BIOS to the latest version and performed hard reset (internal battery disconnected a bit) and issue went away. Tech of Crucial thought WHAT BIOS could have trouble with something on the more recent memory.

  • Reference Dell MEM installation fails

    Hi all

    Previously on my hosts ESXi 4.1 I could quite easily set up the MEM from Dell (1.1). Now, I am trying to install 1.2 on a 5.5 ESXI host (new installation always in eval mode).

    I have a new installation of vSphere-VMware-CLI - 5.5.0 - 2043780 however, every time that I run the setup.pl

    for example setup.pl - configure - server = 10.2.6.xx

    I get the following (tried on 3 different PCs).

    C:\MEM>dir
    Volume in drive C has no label.
    Volume serial number is 34 c 0-7582

    Thank you

    Script using vSphere CLI which is based on PERL and the question is what minumum Version is necessary and if there is a reason why the SOAP package is missing, because it looks like it is already partially installed on your system.

    So go to vmware.com and install the vSphere CLI or vSphere Perl SDK for WINDOWS. You can install only one version of this package. After that, open a new shell window and try again.

    Do not confuse on vSphere PowerCLI which is the Powershell Version of the vSphere API.

    BTW. We use VUM or esxcli to install the MeM, but you must configure the vNetworking and iSCSI binding manually or by using a profile of the host.

    Kind regards

  • MEM install fail

    Hello

    I want to improve the MEM on my ESXi hosts, so I followed the doc tech "configure and install the plug-in of Multipathing equallogic." On my vMA, I've replaced the setup.pl and dell-eql-MEM files with the new ones, using WinSCP.

  • How can I enable Autocomplete failed for a site only

    AutoComplete works for my frequently visited sites except recently crashes when logging in to my Internet banking facilities. Is no longer my user Bank name available as a drop-down list of several users no longer appears.

    I checked with my Bank, to ensure that completion has not been blocked by default in the configuration of the site.

    As this is a recent failure I have to wonder, that the Bank has given up the responsibility, if semiautomatic can be restored for this one site.

    Malcolm, I see no other reason for what the Bank allowing him more. In fact, I don't know of any bank site allowing the AutoComplete. If it you bugs a lot, I would suggest reseting Firefox, which removes all parameters specific to the site and all extensions, but keeps your history, bookmarks, passwords, etc.: there is a description for it here: Firefox Refresh - reset the parameters and modules

    New 10.2.0.4 install for 2 node RAC system: RHEL5 2.6.18 - 92.el5 with SAN, using paths multiple devices. Configured OCFS2 1.4 according to http://oss.oracle.com/projects/ocfs2/dist/documentation/v1.4/ocfs2-1_4-usersguide.pdf and implementation of multi-channel suite features notes 564580.1 (configuration of raw devices (multipath) for Clusterware Oracle 10 g Release 2 (10.2.0) on RHEL5/OEL5). My plan is to use OCFS for OCR and voting disks. I have properly configured volumes, checked mount points, confirmed that the appropriate entries are in/etc/fstab and also received a file from a mount to a node point and could read successfully from the second. Running RunInstaller-ignoreSysPrereqs. When I get to the step that asked to specify the location of the OCR, when I add the point OCFS (ocr1/u02/and/u02/ocr2 for the mirror), I get an error of installation:
    The location/u02/ocr1, entered for the Oracle Cluster Registry is a directory.  Specify a shared raw partition or cluster file system that is visible by the same name on all node in the cluster
    I checked the /etc/multipath.conf file is the same on both nodes, the mount points are the same, that/etc/fstab are identical. I'm puzzled. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Have you tried to provide the name of the file something like/u02/ocr1/ocrfile01 and/u02/ocr2/ocrfile02 as his mirror?

    I took my phone in the Apple store & he cannot understand what is wrong with it. They think it's a hardware problem, but I don't think it is. A hard reset does nothing, but when you reinstall the operating system, or configure the phone again, then the ID Touch starts to work.

    However, begin to use the phone as usual, and in a few days the Touch ID fails again. The only way to make it work is to completely clean the phone & reinstall everything (which is a major concern), but even in this case, the problem resurfaces surface after a few days.

    Guess I'll need to wait for the next software update & hope this fixes the problem for good... but if someone has a different fixed temp (beyond the above), then I'll gladly try them!

    Thank you very much

    Why you would not believe them? If they thought it was a hardware problem, how are they going to solve? Is your phone under warranty? If so, they would replace it. If this isn't the case, you would probably qualify for out-of-warranty replacement.

    What happens if you restore the phone like new and don't put all of your data and content on? If she continues to run, the question would be a kind of corruption of your data.

    Waiting around another system update will not solve your problem, because this isn't a problem with the operating system 9.3.1. Wait for the next update solves something rarely other than the known problems that the next update is designed to address.

  • Tecra A3 - keyboard failed after BIOS update

    I updated the BIOS on my Tecra A3 with the package of 2, 30-VICTORY, and the keyboard has failed... Only a few touches of clam work and they do not even give the good sign... I guess that there must be a language problem or something?

    In any case... I can't go in the BIOS or my bootmenu because even the F2 and F12 keys does not work... The touchpad works very well though, if I Explorer win xp etc...

    How can I fix it?

    Hello

    did you buy this PC in europe or elsewhere in Asia (, USA)?
    If you provide your serial number, we can check if the machine is a European model. If it is not then maybe you have bad BIOS installed.
    If the machine still works as you describe, then it should be possible to download the correct BIOS (if it was the wrong) and install it. It requires only the basic operation of mouse.

  • Satellite L300 - power fail

    I have two Satellite L300 (2 different models), but I had several failures of the supplies provided.

    The first computer laptop power supply has failed in the first week, the replacement, the supplier sent me (Ebuyer) did not work at all. After several weeks of disputes with Ebuyer I gave up and bought a replacement on Ebay. One failed after a week, but the replacement of one still works fine (after several months).

    First, the second power supply for laptop does not have after 8 months or more. It was very easy to get a replacement that I bought this laptop from Currys and thetechguys support was very good. However this replacement power supply for failed just before Christmas, only a few weeks after the warranty of 1 year has ended.

    I was extremely unlucky, or there is an inherent problem with feeds and L300 laptop computers.

    Everyone else had similar experiences?

    Any ideas of what I should buy to try to avoid more power power failures?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    Interesting what s announcement mate but I can't agree with you. I m using the Satellite L300 too but for 1 year. I use it every day to check e-mail, Internet, etc.. I never had a problem with the laptop power or power. Everything works correctly and nothing has been changed because they.

    I think in your case you didn't have the chance. Normally after so little time you can get a replacement free of charge of an authorized service because it s under warranty. From Toshiba Web site displays a list of authorized service providers and the guys are friendly and always try to help you.

    I hope I could help a little and as you can see it's not a common problem.

  • Bird fails via enet/100 with ELCK on all other attempts

    I use my own code (C/C++) on linux which reads data from a RF Boonton Electronics 4300 running talkmode via a power meter box GPIB-ENET/100.  The first Bird command returns data properly but the second fails, and this trend continues thereafter.  Change in the amount of delay between the orders of Bird does not appear to have any effect.

    Ibsta shows ERR, TIMO, CMPL, and the error seems to be ELCK whenever he fails.  There is only one instrument connected to the box ENET/100 and that a copy of my program interact with it.  My program is multi-threaded, but I keep a mutex on the gpib lock of in the thread making the reading of the instrument.

    I connected one committed GPIB to ENET/100 box and I can only see good handshake and transfers of data from the instrument to the listener at the same frequency that I get good data in the application.

    Using a packet sniffer, I see what I guess it's the error response coming back from the box of ENET/100 on all other Bird attempts.

    Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem?  I would try to run the power meter in another mode where I could ibwrt and get a unique response from the Bird, but I don't think that this mode exists.  Thank you.

    Jim

    So I think I thought a solution to my problem... maybe someone could explain why this works?

    If I execute a command ibtrg before each Bird, I never receive any errors.  What confuses me, is that I thought that the talkmode supported by the instrument does not require an external trigger, but apparently he... half the time.

    BTW, I use older drivers or-488 to the situation above.  I also tried to use reminders ibnotify with 488.2 without success.
