HP XW8400: XW 8400 32 GB of memory

Hello

I am suited to 4 GB long ago, however with Adobe applications (photoshop, a) slowing the loading and so now that I chose increase memory up to 32 GB (DDR2-667, DDR2-533 Fully Buffered).

First in the Cmos - memory has been recognized; then in windows 7 64 bit; the memory has been recognized. And the difference on startup and connection was remarkable - until I started to open the application. For example - all Adobe applications lauch - and then hang - with "not responding". In short, after the upgrade, I am unable to work due to blocking/not responding to conditions.

At work I may have to delete everything except a memory leaving 4 GB. At least I was able to work - in a very slow process - which is better without working with 32 GB.

Is there a fix that will allow the correction so that I can use 32 GB of memory without meeting several conditions not respondents not? Office works very well - very fast!

I would like to know how to repair a harmless memory upgrade - following conditions expected HP upgrade methods.

Thank you!

1. install memory by pairs of identical memory modules

2. do not add not identical memory modules, with which the Office has been delivered. Remove them and set them aside.

3. install modules of consumer brand that are guaranteed to be compatible with the XW8400 workstation memory

If you follow these basic rules, then you achieve success through the improvement of memory.

Your workstation has two processors?

Examples of guaranteed compatible are two following sites

  • Satellite C50D - A - 13 G - question about memory GPU

    Finishing bought the new laptop, TOSHIBA C50D - A - 13 G, but I have a little problem.
    It says in the description
    (Graphics card: AMD APU A6-5200 with graphic AMD Radeon HD 8400 card)
    Graphics card memory: up to 4090 MB)
    but I do not have how to allocate this memory, I tried the BIOS, but the option to allocate memory is not listed there.

    Help, please

    In the specification is clearly described:
    > amount memory: up to 4 090 MB shared memory with 8 GB of installed system memory and up to 8 186 MB with 16 GB of memory system (with the operating system pre-installed 64-bit Windows®).
    With other words: with more RAM your GPU will use more memory.
    It works automatically and you can not change anything.

    So if you want to have more memory GPU you need to upgrade RAM.

  • xw8400: memory from 8GB to xw8400 / xw8600?

    Hello

    I own a xw8400 and want to use the modules of memory 4x8Go.

    I bought 64 GB (8x8Go) FB DDR2 Fully Buffered PC2-5300F 667 and they are accepted by the system.

    But after a while the computer breaks down / off. There are no blue screen or another trick helping to find the cause. The machine is switching to as pulling on the power cord.

    At first I thought that this could be a cooling problem. So I checked the temperature, and it seems to be in the regular limits (about 28-30 ° C air temperature).

    I found the info on the web, 32 GB on this machine (2 CPU) should be possible with a riser card (8x4GB). On the other hand, it could be only a result because the 8 GB modules were not available at this time.

    I have two questions:

    * Is it possible to use 8 GB modules on a system with 2 CPU xw8400?

    * I'm testing modules with memcheck, but is it possible to obtain diagnostic information why the system stops?

    THX G.

    This could relate.  I have not confirmed this, but I think that the controller memory on the xw8400 is the same as on the xw6400.

    I noticed for a previous project that HP has officially supported specific 8 GB sticks in the xw8600, and controllers memory xw6600 and xw8600 were the same.  This gave me the idea that maybe, although not documented, these sticks of same for the xw8600 may work correctly in the xw6600.

    I received a portion of these HP 8 GB sticks and confirmed that they would run in my builds xw6600 very well.  , But they would not go in versions of my xw6400... even sticks, stations works perfectly same if they had HP 4 GB sticks in place.

    I think that you are facing a problem of memory controller on this older generation xw8400 post working... the sooner (6400/8400) and late (6600/8600) generation workstation familes I note above have different memory controller chipsets.

  • XW 8400: xw 8400 memory upgrade problems

    There are several officials of this HP memory, as you will see if search you on eBay under this number.  I don't recommend the HP memory, because he is put in a cell for features beyond general specifications.  However, you can succeed looking for sticks 8 GB with exactly the same codes that are on the official HP sticks.  I did it.  For the latter, I personally like the Elpida, Nanya, Samsung and Hynix HP ones.

    From the first page in the xw8400, latest QuickSpecs: "up to 32 GB of memory capacity" and the latest QuickSpecs xw8600: 'up to 128 GB of memory capacity.

    Maybe you can get your money based on print the official xw8400 QuickSpecs and prove to the seller that he was wrong.

  • upgrade of the GeForce 8400 GS on m8307c

    I want to upgrade the video card (GeForce 8400 GS) on my HP Media Center (m8307c) = PC please let me know what card I can use without changing the power supply (unless I really have to) FYI - I had to replace the card 3 X already while he was under warranty, but the warranty went out just if I want to get a better card now

    Your PC has a 300 Watt power supply.  Open your PC and check the + 12 volt amperage.

    TheEVGA NVIDIA GT 240 1 GB DDR5only requires a 300 Watt power supply.  He needs a PSU with 18 amps on the bus + 12 volts.

    I have the video card above installed in the mobo even as your PC mobo.

    Anything faster than 240 it will change the power supply.

    Review the specifications of performance ATI and NVIDIA . Look at the specifications of strip memory bandwidth and level of DirectX support.

  • HP dc 7900 sff memory update

    Hello, this week the team here helped me to update my BIOS for my Compaq HP DC 7900 SFF. I have four available memory slots, and the computer's specifications say that it can have a total of 16 GB of memory. I could not find the specifications of the type of memory should I use.

    Can anyone here point me in the right direction for a memory upgrade?

    Thank you in advance,

    Peace,

    Mark

    Thank you as always, I paid 90 million dollars for the dc 7900 with 4 GB of ram, burner light scribe, two core 8400 processor. 250 GB hard drive, only really bad thing is that each of the modules 4 memory are a different speed, and it comes up as unknown. I think that this computer can only run as fast as the module of memory of slowese. I'll probably get 4 GB memory and keep it for now, it works great and I like it better than my gateway 560 Gr. I am running windows 7 ultra 64-bit. and I'm happy. I think that if I change the memory, it will peform better year and the next update to the hp 8200. They go for about $300 used on e - bay, and hp/compaq has always been my brand.

  • Matched XW8400 CPU... .only a CPU slot 1 work

    I have Inhereted a XW8400 with only works on 1 2 matched Intel quad core Cpu. I have exchanged around the matched CPU and both work well, but only in slot 1. The information system gives me only 1 CPU to 4 cores and 4 logic.

    I have inspected the slot 2 with a microscope and found that no pins are damaged, broken or out of place. I'm removing the CPU in a good sense.

    It has been suggested that I update my Bios and found a level of 2.3xxx on the HP site and downloaded, however, when you try to load it in F10 during boot to start what he reads in the column flashrom two andUSB Optics (which I tried) shows a red window saying "file is not present missing or corrupted. " I checked and found that it is NOT corrupt and most certainly there IS on both disks and USB flash memory.

    My motherboard is at fault? because everything else works very well with win 7 pro 64 bit and 16 GB of ram ECE in the correct locations.

    The questions I have are:-

    (A) it is the motherboard 1) have I missed some sort of activation process? (2) how do I test if it is the motherboard?

    Can (B) Pourquoi I not take my flashrom as indicated in the above path?

    What I am doing wrong? and how do I check and or a solution?

    any suggestions welcome, I know it's probably an old machine now, but he has left life plaenty and works great (if a little slow by the standards of today ' hui).

    Thank you very much in advance for any response.

    Kind regards

    Be able to run in what concerns only a processor... it may be a motherboard problem because you have proven that the two processors are the same and work in the upper part when taken there by themselves.  You will have to just live with a Quad Core...

    Regarding the question of the USB... the USB key must be formatted cost with fat32, it must have only the single .bin file on it and nothing else, and we must put it in my computer when it stops completely.  Then, boot in the BIOS and use the option here in the first tab updated the BIOS to go into the BIOS.

    The bin file is 7D5_0238.bin, and it's the only thing you want to see on this USB key.  I'll try to tie it, but it cannot be allowed.

    Nope... not allowed.  I'll try to zip and tie it...

    Yep... that worked.  Just unzip that put on your USB key and try with that.

    If this does not work then just run the HP SoftPaq for this update BIOS of Windows 7... just the fire and it should automatically launch a page that allows you to run the BIOS flashing directly from in W7.  This page will not be talking about Windows 7, that does not matter.  You may need to respond in W7, the program installed correctly.

    EDIT: in general, it is best to get something as important as this .bin file directly from the source, the HP SoftPaq.  How to do this has been posted here several times... it is in the BACK folder after you run the SoftPaq, which is SP51225.exe for the last (and probably last) xw8400 BIOS updater.  It will be at the root of drive C, inside the SWSetup folder.

  • XW8400: only one of both put in correspondence Quad-cores working in the xw8400 workstation

    I inherited a xw 8400 there two matched CPU intel quad core CPU. Both work but not together I can exchange both at about and work them both but if I put one in slot 1, if I put one in slot 1, it works fine if I put both in a single work watch, if I put one in the 2 slot that it doesn't work.

    I checked the pins on slot2 with a very fine microscope and everything is as it should be-free pins bent etc..

    "I was told to update my Bios I tried to do, unfortunately without success as the flashrom will not recognise the CD/DVD-rom or USB it just says that it" is missing or the file is corrupted "

    My question is:-is my motherboard? as no other issues are obvious and why my flashrom system doesn't recognize my media? I have win 7 pro 64 16 GB of ram in the correct locations. It takes forever to load and want to know why the 2nd CPU does not appear in my system information?

    not really a geek, but will include the simple answers... Thank you

    Thanks Big_Dave,

    As you suggest I have it posted on the Enterprise business Forum. I would add that this is good advice that I can see other messages on the queries for the XW8400 so you guided me to the right place.

    Thank you for your help in stopping swim autour in darkness.

    Keep up the good work as I am new here and already impressed by volunteers that take an interest in other situations (which need a solution!...) I never see a 'problem' just need to know how / if you can FIX IT)

  • HP m9040n - NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS - replace or upgrade?

    Video does not.   NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS - replace or upgrade?  I want to edit the video with the Prime Minister of adobe.  What is recommended?  Not too expensive.

    Hello:

    Yes, it would be a better card, because it has a 128-bit memory interface.

    The specifications also include a 300W P/S, so this card should also work if your P/S is 300W.

    http://www.GeForce.com/hardware/desktop-GPUs/GeForce-gt-630/specifications

    I'd go for this one, as the recommendations of P/S for both cards are the same.

    Adding instructions are here. When you buy new memory be sure and go to the website of the manufacturer of the memory. Use only brands so that they ensure th your product compatibility. Use the memory Configurator tools on the website of the manufacturer of the memory. Here are a few major brands for you: Kingston, Crucial, Corsair:

    Change the power supply: This video on youtube is pretty decent for generic power supply switching.

    Thislinkhas information on opening the cover and remove the cover.

    When you select a video card do not get cards great physically (i.e. ATI HD 4870 / 4850) because they are double wide and does not have limited space. Fantastic cards but are not for the pre-built PC.

    Any ATX PSU fits your case. 450 watts or therabouts enough for almost any addition of hardware on your pc. Do yourself a favor and stick the best brands such as Corsair, OCZ and others. Generic brands are not worth the problems they can bring even if they are cheaper.

  • Update Windows for Vista - NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS driver errors

    Update Vista Home Basic 6002:SP2.  Secunia Personal Software Inspector and MS Security Essentials confirm the system software is updated.

    Windows Update optional update for NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS on 4/5 and 4/11.  Updates have been declared as 'Successful' but has caused problems of compatibility with the resolution.  (http://winqual.microsoft.com/support/?driverid=20418057) More details below.

    HW - Dell 530 with GeForce 8400 GS with BIOS 62.98.71.0.5 - 512 MB of memory dedicated - 767 MB shared memory.

    CRT is detected as driver MS running generic PnP 6.0.6001.18000.  The display is an AMW CM1722PF 17 "CRT with a preferred resolution of the 1024x768x70Hz.  (IIRC, MS drivers for Intel 8031 correctly detected VGA display modes, rather than generic report.)

    On both NVIDIA driver update attempts, Windows Update reports the success and I rebooted (despite the lack of obligation to restart).  Display was OK on the screen connection, but limited to 640 x 480 on desktop after login.  Edges of the Office had fallen.

    In addition, Panel-> NVIDIA Control Panel translates "the NVIDIA Display Panel Extension cannot be created... Possible reasons include the incorrect version.  Reinstall display drivers can fix this problem. »

    After the failure of 4/5, I uninstalled Windows Update display drivers and reinstalled on reboot.  Got the NVIDIA Display Panel and appropriate video modes.  Everything was going well until we repeated this Windows Update NVIDIA driver update fiasco 4/11.

    Have not repeated the manual Reinstall driver this time, I'm puzzled why Windows Update can't get this right.    This is a very common piece of hardware and you would think that there is regression tests for driver updates.

    This makes me wary of Windows Update.  Suggestions?

    Hello

    I posted an incorrect link, changed now.

    Those who work in many cases, I've tried. If you have a current Windows

  • Dell Dimension 8400 and Windows 7?

    Hello

    Will it work?

    Thanx

    Not on an 8400, but on a XPS G4 with 3 GB of RAM - which is just an amateur version of the 8400 from the XPS gaming PC line.  Windows 7 installed with no driver needed and worked like a dream for almost a year now.  The only thing is the game on the Z port Audigy sound card is not supported by Windows 7 (but the sound itself card works fine), was not a big problem for me.  Since W7 will eat a Go just to stay alive, 2 GB may be enough if you don't do any substance really hungry as core memory hard games, video editing, modeling, etc.  My kids play Age of Mythology all the time and my wife is a photographer - she is its main user, and rarely it strikes a wall at 3 GB.

  • New Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS with OptiPlex 755

    Hello

    I have a form factor computer to desktop OptiPlex 755 with 3.0 ghz dual core processor, 1 gig ram and 280w of power. I recently bought a new video card because the integrated Intel video card could not support a new game I bought. The card is a PNY Verto with a Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS chipset. I installed it in the PCI express card

    slot and turned on the computer while the monitor is connected to the new card and I had no video. I had to return the vedo on the on board to get to the CMOS memory (I think that's what it's called). I chose the onboard/card instead of the automatic selection option in the video section of the configuration of the system, but the system still does not recognize the new card. He used to see the same place on windows. I know that this new card says it requires a 300w power supply, but I heard that dell underestimates their power and is really much more that they are listed. Why my computer does not recognize the card?
