DV7 (4073nr) memory upgrade problems...

I've tried so my RAM from 4 GB to 8 GB.  I have a DV7 4073nr, and I just downloaded the latest update of the BIOS (F.29).  My system starts but I get intermittent BSOD.  Not funny.  I ran the system diagnostics and I get failures of memory in the memory Test option and the system developed, but it passes the test of the BIOS (F10) and all of the submissions are recognized by the BIOS and Windows.

For all this, I don't think it's the memory...  I have two sets of sticks of 8 GB (2x4gb) where I worked with, Crucial and Kingston.  Two are speed 1333 (10600), and identical to the specifications proposed by the Crucial.com site.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance

Well...

I don't think I'm quite out of the woods yet.  Last night, I booted up and got a BSOD on trying to open Internet Explorer (v.9).  Rebooted my system and it worked without incident through the rest of the evening.

Until I stop, I put Norton 360 to run its set of scans and tasks, a weekly process and let it run.  This morning, there is no other incident, but I can't help thinking that the system seems slow.

I'll call this request closed for the moment.  I was thinking about an SSD as the next update, but now I'm reconsidering.

Oh well, thanks for your help,.

    Recently saved this PC of my friend tries to throw it. Everything is fine with the PC. It works perfectly and there is no material visible failure wihtin the PC either. He just bought a new and had no need for this one.

    Before turn me this into a House mutli-purpose server, I decided to upgrade the RAM.

    So I did some research and found this page: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01883661

    DDR3 240-pin DIMM 1333 MHz non - ECC, Max 4 GB per DIMM slot, Total Max 16 GB module.

    I went and bought RAM Corsair. Link to the product: http://www.corsair.com/en-us/cmv4gx3m1a1333c9

    I decided to get 2x4gb and upgrade later if I felt the need.

    I was happy to install in the PC. one in DIMM 1 slot and the other in the DIMM 2 slot.

    BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!

    I thought that maybe the slots are wrong, maybe they have to odd numbers then numbers.

    So I changed the RAM of DIMM 2 DIMM 3.

    Once again, the annoying ringtone.

    I even tried leaving just the 4 GB DIMM 1 and tried to start the PC, but nothing helped.

    I tried a lot of different combinations with the end result is 5 annoying beeps.

    After that I thought that maybe, just maybe, an update of the BIOS can change things.

    So I installed Windows 7 (I can't stand Windows. Arch Linux FTW) and performing a BIOS update.

    I then installed the new RAM again. Yes... frickin 5 beeps AGAIN.

    I am extremely disappointed at this point. I spent already $ 70 on a computer with free access.

    I read the forums here, but I couldn't find a thread with a solution for me.

    Is there anyone on this forum who could lend me a helping hand?

    Any information would be gladly appreciated.

    PS Please report any stupid error, I did. Stick and stones could not curb my bones.

  • Veriton M498G memory upgrade problem

    I'm trying to age 5 years Veriton M498G memory upgrade my son of 4 GB to 12 GB now when I upgaded to Windows 7 64 bit.

    The original 2 GB key still works fine and the 2 GB key that I added back a bit works very well too (4 GB total).

    But when I remove all the sticks and put in a new 4 GB stick the computer crashes in the POST just after the BIO 1024Mo of RAM (!). Looks like that the BIOS does not like the 4 GB stick! Compensation of the BIOS did not help.

    Back original memory makes the computer works perfectly.

    I am well aware of the memory manufacturer/type compatibility issues.

    I tried 4 different memory of 4 GB sticks from 2 different sources with no luck.

    My questions are:

    1. the Veriton M498G motherboard or BIOS has any limitation on the size of the memory card?

    2 I missed a setup or configuration to let the BIOS see the 4 GB memery stick?

    3. a more recent BIOS help? (the computer uses the original BIOS from 2011)

    4. is there a solution runs the endless trial and error of purchase and return of USB keys?

    The system is:

    Acer Veriton M498G

  • Satellite C75-A-144 - Kingston memory upgrade problem

    Hello

    I recently bought a laptop C75-A-144 and wanted to do an upgrade with the bar of memory KINGSTON 4 GB (4GB 1600 Mhz DDR3 Non - ECC CL11 SODIMM SRx 8).
    Unfortunately, the laptop does not start with this module installed. I checked the module in the other laptop (differrent manufacturer) and it works well.
    Then... there at - it some compatibility problem with Kingston memory modules and model C75-A-144?

    In addition, because I really want to do this upgrade, can someone give me a list of the modules that will work with this laptop?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    According to specification for laptop, that your computer can be upgraded up to 32 GB of RAM.
    Compatible RAM modules (verified by Toshiba) followed part numbers:
    2 GB DDR3L-1600-PA5104U-1M2G
    4 GB DDR3L-1600-PA5104U-1M4G
    8 GB DDR3L-1600-PA5104U-1M8G

    Check it please these part numbers and use them to order of RAM.

    In the past I ve used memory modules RAM Kingston for upgrade and there is no problem at all. Maybe you're trying to use Rams with different specifications.

  • Satellite A105-S2051 memory upgrade problems

    Sorry for the huge block of text...

    This is not my computer, but a problem I need to fix nonetheless.
    I use a Toshiba A105-S2051 and I want to upgrade memory.

    When I have the original 512 and a 1024, it works perfectly, and I can move them to a port without problem.
    I also have a PNY 1024 that I can replace the other 1024 with and it works perfectly even in the two ports, but when I put the two 1024, it does not work (starts and stops quickly and repeatedly).

    Similarly, even if I let one of the 1024 in but remove the 512, computer does the same thing.

    Is the computer laptop for any reason + need + 512 to work?
    This is no logical sense in the PC world, but I have no idea on laptops...

  • Pavillian Dv7-3085dx: memory upgrade

    I have Dv7-3085dx with intel 1.6 Ghz processor. The manual indicates memory max is 8 GB, but I noticed in several of the questions forum upgrades memory 16 GB is possible. Which also apply to my model?

    Thank you

    Of your maintenance manual:

    Supports the 1066 MHz DDR3, up to 8 GB of RAM in the following configurations: ■ total system memory of 8192 MB (4096 MB x 2, dual-channel)

    16 gigs is compatible only with the dv7 models later. 8 gigs is still plenty of RAM, and very few users really need more than 8 GB.

    Read your owner's manual. Chapter 4, page 44 shows how to remove the cover. It seems to be in the same way as in the G7 countries.

  • Inspiron 15R 5520 Memory Upgrade problem

    I have upgraded my laptop from 4GB to 12GB (4+8). After the upgrade, the laptop boots and runs very very slowly.My laptop came with 4GB ram 1600 single stick. I upgraded the RAM by adding another stick of 8GB same bus and same manufacturer. The BIOS shows the total memory as 2288MB instead of 12288MB. Windows detects total RAM of 12GB but boots and runs very slowly.
    
    I have updated the BIOS from A06 to A07 trying to resolve the problem but with no luck.
    
    When installing each RAM stick alone (4gb or 8gb), everything works fine, but the issue comes back again when both sticks are mounted together even when switching the places on the sockets.
    
    Looking for your kind support!

    Selector memory from crucial.com claims 4 GB DDR3 - 12800 CL11 1.35v

    I tried three products G-Skill and Samsung, with identical results:

    F5 MASTS fails with graphics corrupted after several minutes. System is not responding.
    Memtest 86 + fails almost immediately (permanent or not) with a splash of black character cells

    These characteristics seem to be compatible, but do not work.
    Suggestions of compatibility (ideally based on real experience) would be appreciated.

    The problem is simply that the Vostro 3300 (and probably 3400) require low-density parts, and all samples tested were pieces of high density.

    The distinction of high-density/low-density is not explicitly stated in any literature I can find.

    For critical parts at least, the two latest les deux derniers chiffres figures product code indicates the density.

    For example, CT51264BF160BJ is a high density of part (BJ ends), while CT51264BF160B is a part of low density (ends in B). It seems that G-Skill and many others can use parts of high densities.
