Installation of RAM-> black screen

I bought iMac 5K, end of 2015 and has decided to increase the RAM by myself.

I chose this model: HyperX Impact SODIMM - 16 GB Kit * (2x8GB) - DDR3L 1866 MHz CL11 SODIMM part number: HX318LS11IBK2/16.

The problem is that when I install the RAM and put it on the iMac just goes to black screen. I hear the fan rotation, but no other noise whatsoever. Nothing. I tried adding to the old RAM, replace etc. I can turn on the iMac with the original 8 GB of RAM installed.

Anyone know what could be the problem? Is this a faulty hardware?

I would stick with the purchase of your memory of one of these sellers: OWC, DataMemor Crucial. Each has methods to determine the correct memory for your computer. Memory HyperX is not really intended to be used in Macs. One of the three providers can provide you with the right product.

  • Satellite L675-10T stucks in a black screen after the new RAM upgrade

    Hi all

    I recently decided to upgrade the memory in my laptop pretty.
    I went online, has adapted Rams and ordered.

    What I got are 2 of them:
    http://www.offtek.co.UK/RAM-specification/Toshiba/Toshiba-laptop-memory/satellite-L675-10T/pid921300

    The installation is very easy, but as soon as I turn on my laptop, it stucks in a black screen with a straight white line underscore.

    I guess it's an incompatibility problem?
    Could you please help me?

    Thank you.

    I think you're right, it seems that the modules are not totally compatible, even if the online retailer page says they are
    You can remove the new RAM modules just to check if the laptop to boot up properly I guess correctly the unit upwards.

    Solution? Use a different RAM modules I had good experience using modules from Kingston, they might be a little expensive, but I think they should work correctly.

  • The RAM lot shown on Sys. Info. but the correct amount of shows mycomp/properties, black screen was crashing...

    Although quick and concise as possible. PC under XP SP3 Pro with AMD Athelon 2.41 GHz and had two sticks of 1 GB of ram with 256 MB radeon x 1650 just to use dual monitor graphics card. A few weeks ago it started to break up during different tasks, no bsod or error message, just a black screen crash and reboot. He wouldn't even say ms recovered or give me an option to boot safe mode or anything like that, just acted like it never happened. The typical check/clean/test when discovered that even if sys properties reported two GB of info sys ram only showed 256 MB total physical. Thought it was a RAM problem, took a stick, works slowly but not crash, exchanged, even. Put two sticks in another pc, no crash and it reads 2 Go in the properties and 2 048 Mo in sys info. Took the four MB 512 out of this pc put into this one, nothing, does not start. Put the 1 GB in works slowly with no crash, but reads only 128 MB of ram in sys info, while always reading 1 GB in comp/properties...

    So my question is: is this a power supply motherboard problem or power, or am I just missing something here? I wonder on BIOS or CMOS, but they have not been affected or modded and it worked. In addition, av is up-to-date with no reports of virus.

    Looks like you got a BSOD but just don't see it because XP is supposed to relaunch on these failures.  If your system is configured to save dump files, we can always get infromation from last bit depressed.  If the sytem is not configured to save dump files, make sure and then let a few dump files accumulate so we have something to look at.

    Click OK, and when the system info summary appears, click Edit, select all, copy and paste then return here.

    For information about video drivers, expand components, click view, click on edit, select all, copy and then paste that information here.

    There would be some personal information (such as the user name and the name of the system), or what seems to be only your business that you can remove the dough.  Send two copy/pasta.

    XP is configured to restart automatically on some system failures, you will need to disable this feature for BSOD information will remain on the screen for you to see.

    Configure your system does not automatically restart on system failure (this is what he wants to do):

    Right click my computer, properties, advanced, startup and recovery settings.

    In the system failure section:

    Put a check mark in the box "write an event to the system log.

    Put a check mark in the box "send an administrative alert.

    Uncheck 'automatically restart '.

    In the Write debugging information section select:

    Set the directory small dumpster:

    Click OK, OK.

    Restart your computer.

  • Portege 7220 and windows 98. Black screen installation

    Hello

    I am facing this problem when I try to install win98 on the machine above Portege 7220 (/ PIII650/64/12/13 t/M), following on its docking station...

    I boot from a floppy disk and cd rom (e:\) access in order to run the installer of windows 98SE. Once I typed e:\setup.exe I get a black screen and the computer crashes. However I can install windows NT or 2000 on this machine, and also the windows 98SE cd works ok on other computers, i.e. no black screen!

    No idea what is the problem?

    Thanks in advance,
    Bar

    Hi Bar

    Please do not be angry on me, but I have to ask you something. Did you use Win98SE full version or simply update CD for Win98?

    It may be that your CD is scratched! Then please try another new CD or another OS as W2k!

  • Satellite C660-10 d - black screen after adding extra RAM!

    Hello world

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite C660-10 d and have recently bought a 2GB additional RAM to upgrade my laptop to 4 GB in total. The RAM stick is identical to the 2 GB ram origin that settled in the laptop.

    I added the extra ram and when I turn on the laptop the screen remains black, however the laptop fans can be heard etc. When I remove the extra ram com starts up fine and shows the windows login screen. I also tried the two ram sticks on their own to slot 1 and both work well, its only when they are both in the connectors that I get the black screen.

    Any help asap would be fantastic.

    Concerning

    Griff

    > When I remove the extra ram the com starts up fine and shows the windows login screen.

    Its a problem with your extra RAM module.
    Is not fully compatible.
    Recommend you use two identical Kingston RAM modules, these modules are great, tested and provide good quality.

  • Satellite M70 - black screen after the installation of recovery

    So far, what I did is put in the Recovery DVD - ROM product. Then when my computer restarts I was invited to restore my computer failing and said. After that he went through this process, that he told me to remove the disc that I did. Now he only get a black screen after the Toshiba screen that gives me options f2 for Setup and f12 for options.

    I don't know what to do now to make my laptop works again. Help, please.

    Hi Zach_1,

    Have you tried to launch the installation of recovery again? Maybe that something was wrong during the first installation, it might have arrived
    Then retry the recovery facility and see what happens.

    If it doesn't work you should try a normal Microsoft disk so determine if the problem is related to hardware or recovery disk.

  • New installation 8.1 Windows black screen after logo

    I met a black screen when installing Windows from a USB Pendrive 8.1 after the logo at the beginning.

    After research on internet and do not find the answer, I had a bright idea: format my hard drive (SSD), I had Windows 7 installed on it.

    1. I removed the hard drive from my laptop.
    2. I attached my drive to a USB adapter and removed the partitions on the disk with 'Create and format hard disk partitions' on another PC.
    3. Replace the hard drive in the laptop.
    4. Tried again and the installation works well!

    My laptop:

  • Black screen with white cursor at the end of the New Installation

    I try to perform a new installation of Windows Vista Home Premium (64 bit) on a Dell Inspiron 1545. The hard drive was completely wiped out and I don't have the original disks (I use a Vista CD from another computer Dell). Installation is proceeding normally up to the phase of "Complete installation" where it crashes for almost an hour and then goes to a black screen with a white cursor.

    I have tried all the following suggestions (found here and on other sites online):

    Reset the BIOS has no effect.

    By pressing SHIFT 5 times has no effect.

    CTRL + Alt + Delete has no effect.

    Rename to the event log file has no effect.

    Remove one of the memory modules if the computer has only 2 GB installed has no effect.

    Running CHKDSK finds no error, and has no effect.

    The attempt to start safe mode causes hang crcdisk.sys.

    Try a normal boot hangs at the screen loading w / loading scroll bar "stuttering".

    Startup Repair runs for hours with no results (I said to cancel after you let it run overnight only to find it still 'work' in the morning)

    Does anyone have suggestions more?

    Thanks in advance! : D

    Dell Media you are currently using may not have drivers appropriate for your PC.

    Contact Dell technical support (have your number of ready service if they ask for it) and ask for the "recovery media" to your specific model number. There may be a small fee involved.

  • Windows Vista no longer starts after re-installation (cursor black screen, white after installation)

    A few days ago I decided that I wanted to start my Dell Inspiron 1720, back to square one. I knew that there are a few options, so I tried to restore. I realized it let me only a month back in time and my computer was slow for about a year now. I looked through my manual that came with my laptop and decided to unstack reinstall drive in and all re - install Windows Vista. I realized after I put the disk in and from the installation, I forgot to disable my anti-virus (trend pro microphone). I don't know if this is causing the problem, but after the installation, I get a black screen with a white cursor. I let it sit for about 4 hours before I decided to restart my laptop. Once I rebooted, it wouldn't let me normally, start in safe mode, or start from the last successful boot. I then tried to fix with my Vista DVD and who do not have too much work. I also tried the restore and it tells me that I am running in a low state of diagnosis and it cannot be done. I tried to reinstall vista twice since then and I'm out of ideas. Help, please! I forgot to add, when I try to start in safe mode, it stops at the ckcdisk.sys (I think it's called).

    millsx89,

    When you install Windows Vista on the 1720 Insp, you need to install the SATA drivers during installation. That's why your system stops at this point. You can also boot into the bios by pressing F2 and changing the Sata in ATA instead of AHCI operation. And then install windows. You will need to change it back once you have installed windows and loaded the drivers.

    Thank you

  • Windows Vista installation disc: Black screen with a cursor and then nothing happens

    A blue screen appears when I try to start Windows and I'm trying to fix the computer through my installation disc I have. But when I try to run my Vista disk installation happening by loading the files fine. It then shows a black screen with a mouse cursor that moves. After that, nothing happens even if I leave it for hours to sit. It is a real disk Installation of Microsoft for Vista.

    If a clean installation of a real Installation of Vista disc does not work, then you probably have some kind of hardware problem (and the blue screen, you got before makes this even more likely).  You can try to do some troubleshooting on your own hardware, but frankly you probably put "t have tools or spare parts to do very much.  Here are some instructions that may help:http://elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Hardware_Tshoot.

    If this does not work, then I suggest that you take it to a repair shop of computer with a good reputation for the service where they can troubleshoot, diagnose, identify and possibly repair or replace the problem.  Before you import it in, I suggest that you protect your important data, as it is likely that they will wipe the hard drive clean in the process.  You can use Knoppix http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html with a good ISO as Copier: http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm as well as a blank CD.  This should hopefully give you enough access to the system (if you do not have any other means) to backup your important data.  Otherwise, slave the drive to another computer and copy the data in this way.

    I'm sorry, we can not help more, but from your description there is no option of software if you do not have to do a clean install of an Installation of Vista genuine disc.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

    • Expand the section of the graphics card .
    • Find the Display card Driver.
    • Graphics Driver right click and choose Uninstall.
    • Select the check box delete the driver for this device.
    • Restart the computer after the uninstall is complete.

    Step 2:

    Uninstall the drivers of device from the list of programs in the control panel

    • Click Start, select Control Panel
    • Now, click on programs and select programs and features.
    • Find the Display card Driver.

I had a Nvidia driver keep breaking any driver I use, or what I'm doing. So I saw some things on the net bad RAM could be the cause. Now, 512 MB of ddr2 ram died about 2 months ago... (my setup is 1 X 1 GB stick, 2 X 512 MB sticks). so I unplugged my computer from power. Took the stick 'dead' 512 MB, my computer closed, it works... Yet, nothing happens except a black screen and the screen saying no input detected. and my fans are running at 80% (hard)... so I put the 512 MB of ram back as it was... Always the same thing happening nothing black screen. The RAM is correctly installed, I press down firmly, the clips are on the key correctly... What the hell is casuing this black screen? even if the 512 MB was dead the other 1.5 GB should still work?-j' NEVER touched the other strips of RAM... Is MY GPU in the right place, barely touched. Please help me... Man, my computer is ulitmately stuffed... 1 nvidia driver give up my ram properly, cant work now is not even 2 years...

    Hello

    When you bought the memory module did you buy compatible RAM guaranteed from a major memory manufacturer or do you just go to a Best Buy and buy little RAM they said would work?

    HP desktop PC is very particular about RAM. The RAM that you install must have a SPD (Serial Presence Detect) file that matches what your BIOS for its tables in the ROM of CMOS file finds. If the SPD does not match, the RAM will not work. SPD has the voltage and all the RAM timings. No match... no workee.

    First remove the other memory module. Try to run without memory installed to see if it displays an error message. The new module of memory DIMM 1 position and clear the CMOS.

    Unplug your PC.

    remove the power cord from your PSU (power supply)

    remove the CMOS battery.

    Press the power button to leave the current stored to dissipate.

    Look at the position of the jumper CLR_CMOS. Move the jumper from position 1-2 and place it in position 2-3. Leave it there for at least a minute.

    Put back the jumper in position 1-2, and then reinstall the CMOS battery.

    Connect the power cable to the PSU.

    Connect your PC to the present House. The led on the back of a solid color or it flashes. If solid color then life is good.

    Press the Start button.

    Here is a convenient link with information on the motherboard of your PC.

  • Repair installation fails on Windows 7 and get black screen

    I put in a repair disc and then I put in a disk to reboot and did he pulled upwards so that I had to do a reboot but got black screen saying something was not so tempted excessible to esc but used left me tried to restart again and it will not restart please help running windows7 64 bit

    This is usually caused by hardware or software that is not compatible with Windows 7. If you have this problem, follow these steps:

    Wait about 10 minutes to see if the installation continues. Look at the led on the hard drive (often a small light on your computer that blinks when your hard drive is running) to see if there is no activity. If your hard drive seems to be working, the installation must be current. If your hard disk doesn't seem to work, go to step 2.

    Uninstall all antivirus software, and then restart your computer. Don't forget to enable antivirus software after you install Windows.

    If the installation fails again, it may be a hardware incompatibility problem. Go to the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor on the Microsoft website to see if your computer can run Windows 7.

    If you have compatible hardware and your computer still stops responding, disable any unnecessary material. Remove (USB) universal serial bus devices. Remove or disable network cards, sound cards and cards of the series; and then restart the installation.

  • Get a black screen during the Installation of Windows 8

    Original title: BLACK SCREEN

    OK, I tried 5 times to install windows 8 by using the downloaded Update widows Pro

    I've updated the BIOS and other drivers and the only issue is to use the upgrade wizard is UEFI is not compatiable that shouldn't be a problem anyway
    So here's the BLACK SCREEN problem, I get all along to install past loan, after adjustment of the apparatus, after preparation, all the way to the end and then it gives just black screen until I power it turns off or reset and says windows 8 could not restore windows I get no error code or any hint of why there not everyone had an idea Yes stay with windows 7 is an excellent option, but I would try and brand and make informed decisions.
    I have internet search and it seems to be a common problem for many different reasons - ideas - Ive tried more things ive read without success. Help please

    Hello Kiwivic,

    Thank you for the question!

    I'm sorry to know that have problems you with the Installation of Windows 8. As I understand it, you get a black screen during the Installation of Windows 8.

    I need to ask you some questions to help you best.

    1. What is the brand and model of the computer?

    2 are the external devices connected to the computer?

    Method 1: disconnect any external devices (except keyboard and mouse) and then install Windows 8 and check.

    Method 2: Select the edge device devices in device/integrated graphic of BIOS (Basic Input output device) and check.

    Warning: Be careful when you change the BIOS settings. The BIOS interface is designed for advanced users, and it is possible to change a setting that can prevent your computer from starting properly. BIOS update should be made only if necessary (to solve a compatibility problem, for example). It can be a complicated process, and if an error occurs, your computer could be rendered inoperative. Be sure to observe the instructions of the manufacturer.

    Meet us if you encounter any problems with the black screen or any other issue of Windows, and I'd be happy to help you again and try to correct the problem as soon as possible.

    Good day!

  • Black screen during GeForce Driver installation or uninstallation 3D Vision.

    Recently, I did a clean install on my PC. Then I downloaded GeForce and since my PC automatically updated an older version of the driver and installed Nvidia Audio and 3D vision drivers (THAT I don't WANT OR NEED), I chose the "Clean install" GeForce mode that removes Nvidia all previous programs and install the most recent drivers. Now, I did this because whenever I try to uninstall my computer 3D Vision driver manually it suddenly hits a black screen with the mouse still visible and stays there forever, unless I turn it off. Now, when I turn it on again once it does the same thing, but for some reason when I turn it on and the second time it starts normally. But when this happens, the 3D vision driver ends up not be uninstalled. I did a clean install of GeForce could solve this problem, but exactly the same thing eventually occur. If anyone is familiar with the program GeForce or Nvidia drivers could help me it would be much appreciated. I'm not going to turn off my PC, because I don't want to damage the disc hard environment installation (which I continue to have to do, but then get corrupted and I have to perform a clean installation of Windows to regain space lost since corrupted files). But for some reason this black screen where the mouse is always visible, will not disappear.

    I found the problem, I think the drivers to reset my "resolution"setting"one incompatible with my monitor, setting the lowest possible at my screen resolution appears to have resolved the problem. The installation would be stuck as the pilots tried to change the resolution of the screen, a compatible with my monitor and be unable to make further progress. Fortunately, appears to no longer be the case.
