BIOS reads 2 512 sticks as 2 GB why

That's why bios in a gateway with xp pro reading ght5678 ddr 2 512 sticks as 1 GB a piece?

Hello

Have you removed the sticks and checked visually if it's 512 MB or 1 GB?

If not, try and see if it helps.

If you have already done this, then try to update the Bios or contact the manufacturer.

NOTE: Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    According to this page, is supposed to have "1 x 5-in-1 Bridge Media slot (supports SD Card, Memory Stick®, Memory Stick Pro, MultiMedia Card, xD-Picture Card)", but the pdf manual that comes with it says that it supports not the Memory Stick Duo, Memory Stick Pro Duo or mini-SD.

    However, I have a Memory Stick Pro, and a Memory Stick Pro Duo in a Memory Stick Pro adapter, and the reader can't read one of them (they both count as Memory Stick Pro, which should be readable, right?)

    Would I be able to read my Memory Stick Pro cards? Why I can't because it says that I should be able to? Should I install something first?

    Hello

    To my knowledge and according to the manual of bridge housing media supports media type
    -SD memory card

    Please note that the Memory Stick and Memory Stick Pro are not the same in the Memory stick Duo and Memory Stick Pro Duo.

  • How can I know my product key if I can't read it the sticker on my laptop and can't find it in any document supplied with the laptop?

    I have windows Vista Home Basic and I had a virus my laptop so had to wipe it and re install windows, but now he asks me my product key that I can't read the sticker as he had ripped a little...

    If you reinstall of the manufacturer's recovery disc then it should not ask for a product key.  That said, it is there no trace of the product key printed on the COA sticker on your computer.  Stickers are applied in batches at the factory and no record is made of what product key is associated with a specific machine.  I'm sorry.

    Check with the manufacturer if your computer has a recovery partition.  Who restores Windows to its factory condition.

  • 4 x 1 card reader for memory stick

    Hello you have tried to use sticks of memory in the card reader? I have a t61p there a 4 x 1 Ricoh mmc/SD/xd/ms card, so I could study, I try with SD cards but and it works very well.  I want to use several gigabytes in the card, so I try to use the M2 but is too small for the card reader, and as I saw there are many compatibility issues for the sticks of memory, if anyone knows what type of memory sticks can he read? or if I need an adapter...

    I didn't show any adapter, that it was someone else. The map showing the person you cannot be used directly in the Ricoh drive, it would take another card (MS Pro adapter MS Duo), which might have compatibility problems. What you need is a M2 to MS adapter like this:

  • EliteBook 8460p: BIOS reading the lowest possible SPD, goes for 665 instead of 800 Mhz.

    Hello!

    I have improved my Elitebook 8460 to 2 x 4 GB DDR3 RAM 1600 S0DIMMS by Corsair. They work well and save things fortunately in Dual Channel Mode.

    But for some reason the RAM does not work at full Spec. I've not found in my stock all parameters memory BIOS. (F.61 Rev., updated)

    Strange thing, this is the timings are disabled as well. I don't really ask the cl9 here thing, but 800 mhz instead of 665 would be great.

    I'll provide screen shots and I hope you can tell me whats wrong with my ram!

    Thanks in advance!

  • Series cannot read on laptop sticker to activate Windows 7

    I can't activate Windows 7 because I can't read my code serial number on my cell phone /activation.  I bought this laptop directly from Lenovo and I was the sole owner of it. The code is authentic, just can not read more.

    I had to reinstall windows 7 with lenovo disk backup provided and now I can't activate windows.

    Is it possible that Microsoft or Lenovo can retrieve this series?

    If you use the floppy recovery Lenovo that you shouldn't have to enter a key. The manufacturer disks set includes the embedded in the files issued specifically to Lenovo license key. If the installation routine asks for a key then it is not the game of the good disk. Manufacturer of charges are previously authenticated using privileged license and do not require activation of the line.

    Microsoft have not save which COA license is issued to each computer, they are provided to the manufacturer as a block and they apply to the label. In theory, Lenovo should be able to match key that was issued to this serial number, but in practice, few manufacturers will provide the information

  • X 61-new reader, sata should be set to compatibility - why?

    I'm refurbishing of a X 61 for a new user.  He was dealing tarnish - hinges were broken, so I sent to Lenovo and it seems like new.  I thought I would also put a Seagate SSHD inside - ST500LM000.

    I cloned the old drive to the new using Acronis image.

    Everything seemed to go well, except that I had to do a few iterations of startup repair when I started the machine with the new disk installed.

    However, after that, things went very strange: 1) when I tried to download any file in IE10 (windows 7 Enterprise, fully patched) by clicking on the resulting dialog box has nothing - I ran firefox to download any file.  (2) Windows update wouldn't - the wuauserv service did not work and cannot be started.  (3) Finally, the machine started to give warnings "not authentic."

    Since one of the patches for non-genuine was to do a upgrade install, I tried that - used 64-bit enterprise upgrade windows 7 and he suffered what appeared to be the entire installation and at the end says: Windows Setup cannot configure Windows to this material. "and restored.

    Reading on this post led me to discussions about the lack of RAID drivers, and made me try switching between AHCI and compatibility.

    With bios compatibility (2.22), that the system works very well - worth any non-genuine warnings, windows update works, I can download files in any browser what to choose.

    The system is updated according to the update system 5.  I even downloaded the 13 patches for Windows 7 64 bit listed in the Download Center and applied one by one to see if SU missed something.  To my surprise, 3 of them INSTALLED, but made no apparent difference to the behavior.

    I'm puzzled - this isn't a large drive - 500 concerts.  I read the posts here on the SSD and x 61 large capacity disks, and it seems that it should be good.  When the value in compatibility mode, the Intel Matrix Storage Manager complains to its driver is not installed correctly, but this is the only sign of something wrong.

    Performance seems excellent - I think that the number of hard disk in Windows Experience Index went from 5.2 to 5.9.

    I can certainly let it set this way, but I would like to understand why - what someone has a good idea?

    Bill Sanderson

    Hi Bill,

    This drive is an advanced format drive - 4096 bytes per sector: http://www.seagate.com/files/www-content/product-content/momentus-fam/momentus-xt/laptop-sshd/en-us/...

    This can cause a number of issues with pre - SP1 Windows 7 and friends.  Even if you are in SP1, there is a Matrix Storage Manager version autour which can also cause problems.  The installation of your update was perhaps pre - SP1 support?

    A few things to try would be a MS (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982018), rerun the SP1 update, try another Intel storage driver.  You may need to take one or all of these things _avant_ the op to clone.

  • Memory running at a lower frequency

    I recently added 1 GB 667 DDR2 ram to my office, a1514in Pavilion (previously 1 GB 667 stick). But now the bios is show my DRAM frequency as 266 MHz (PC2-4200), these are the cases with different configs:

    -If I put only OLD stick of 1 GB 333 MHz (PC2-5300) show

    -If I put only NEW stick of 1 GB it will show 266 MHz (PC2-4200)

    -If I put both OLD & NEW 1 GB stick will show at 266 MHz (PC2-4200)

    Has also tried different machines slot but no use (I have only 2 slots and memory support for my system max is 2GB BIOS version 3.24)

    I am not able to understand what the problem is. In CPU - Z under the SPD, the two sticks are showing similar settings (I have not so good idea on these parameters). Please help me why the new RAM runs at a lower frequency... What should I do?

    Hello Khot

    What is the model of your Samsung of RAM stick?

    According to the specifications of your motherboard RAM supported, speed isn't PC2-4200 and PC2-5300.

    Another thing, usually by mixing different RAM is a bad idea. The reasoning is that each RAM stick is intended to be run at a specific frequency, timings and voltage. If two sticks use different frequencies, timings, tensions that the BIOS will be all run the highest common denominator. In your case, that your new stick of RAM PC2-4200 and, therefore, the BIOS reads your second stick is run at the same speed for stability purposes.

  • F10: Memory stick reader has stopped reading

    My drive stick of memory used to read the memory stick, once I put it in my F10. However, now when I put it in the system kind of freezes and does not do anything to be in the drive, even if it appears in my computer as a removable disk.

    Also oddly it won't read my camera when I connect it via USB when the memory stick is in the camera? When I put in a different memory stick he reads very well.
