Memory controller problem?

My new X230T works well for most, but I also had the odd problem here and there, who seemed at first view to focus on the SW.  However, memory is "basic" Windows Memory Diagnostic, but crashes at 21% when I try to run this "extended".  Since the results are the same with 3 different memory modules, including 2 worked in another laptop, it looks like a problem of controller memory.

Lenovo support advises me send in the laptop for repair, but I wonder:

  1. If it is a problem of synchronization of memory, which can be fixxed by updating the BIOS.
  2. If it's even safe to try to update the BIOS; probably the problem of memory could cause errors in the update.
  3. If I should restore the laptop to the original configuration before you send it.
  4. If it is safe to use a backup (Clonezilla) image to restore my system configuration when I get home again, or if I have to reinstall / reconfigure everything from scratch. no doubt he could stand errors in the image backup or the configuration SW caused by errors of memory, but it took several days to get to this configuration.

After reading some other posts on the web, there seems to be a known issue with the Windows Memory Diagnostic progress indicator.  Although it only takes seconds for each increase of 1% up to 21%, the indicator can subsist on 21% for hours.  Is not necessarily an error, and the test can still complete successfully.  I'll let it run all night and report back.

  • Satellite Pro A200 - 1 MI - need driver for PCI memory controller

    I have the Toshiba Satellite Pro A200-1 MI (PSAE7E) having a problem with the PCI memory controller on my laptop.
    When I go to Device Manager it shows the question mark in the tab other devices and when I go, it is yellow? (question mark) and! (typical brand) to the PCI memory controller. I took and downloaded all the drivers of your site:

    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU

    for XP, but I'm not sure what kind of driver do I need to install for PCI controller memory, it is driver bios or something else? I just need to know what to install to overcome this problem with my device manager and the PCI memory controller.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello akibono

    I imagine that you have installed Windows XP Home clean on your laptop and now you want to install all the drivers, tools and utilities. Am I right about that?

    In any case, after the installation of Windows XP Home edition you install all the drivers, tools and utilities in the order of the specific facilities. After doing this, everything should be OK and every hardware component will be correctly configured.
    Please install all the stuff as follows:
    WINDOWS XP HOME EDITION
    Driver Chipset
    Display driver
    Audio driver
    Driver modem
    Storage Manager
    LAN driver
    Touchpad driver
    WLAN driver
    Toshiba Assist
    Flash Media driver
    Driver webcam
    Hardware configuration
    Controls
    And so on

    I hope that everything will be OK.

  • EliteBook 850 G3: Impossible to install PCI Data Acquisition and processing of Signal or PCI memory controller controller

    Hello

    I just got a new Elitebook 850 G3, it came with a windows 7 x 64 bit CD and App/drivers installation disk, as well as the 8.1 and 10. I was able to update/install all drivers, but PCI Data Acquisition and Signal Processing controller and PCI memory controller. I tried to go to the HP Web site for my product, only 8.1 and 10 x 64 operating system options, a search on the entire SWSETUP folder finds nothing and allowing research on windows update returns no result. I tried the 8.1 drivers, obviously no support for operating system, but wanted to try. Also tried to use the G2 850 drivers with no luck. Has anyone experience this problem? HP has drivers for these 2 devices for Windows 7 x 64? Any help is greatly appreciated!

    I can't seem to find a driver with the hardware ID you posted.

    If I missed something in one of the folders, see if this driver works...

  • Satellite X 200-219 - should I have the PCI memory controller

    As a newbe please excuse my question has been answered before. I tried to find the answer.

    I've updated from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7. Everything seems to be fine except that I still says the memory controller PCI does not install correctly. Toshiba support no more than my machine.

    As the laptop seems to do everything that I need, I need this thing or can I just forget about it? If I need so where can I find a compatible version?

    Thanks in adance for any help.

    As I see your old Satellite is not supported for Win7, so if you can live without it go to Device Manager and disable this piece of hardware.

    Use you the 32 or 64 bit Win7?
    What drivers you have installed so far?

  • Memory Allocation problem when using JNI

    For a project, we need to interface Labwindows CVI / Teststand with an application written in Java. We use JNI. The code uses JNI_CreateJavaVM to start a JAVA virtual machine to run the Java interface code. The code did run for quite awhile, but now (without any obvious changes on the side of the CVI or on the coast of Java) JNI_CreateJavaVM will fail with the error-4 code, this means that of the JAVA virtual machine failed to start due to the failure of allocation memory. First investigation shows that even if the Windows Task Manager shows approximately 600 M free physical memory, you can allocate in ICB only about 250 M as a single block at the point where we call JNI_CreateJavaVM. Maybe it's a little less because we have - Xmx192m to the JAVA virtual machine to run our code. Unfortunately just to increase the physical memory of the machine of 1.5 G to 2G doesn't change anything. Free memory space in the Task Manager showed increases, but the memory total block size does not work. Are the trick to optimize the CVI/Teststand who use cases?  Or maybe the problems with JNI?

    Finally, it was a memory fragmentation problem with TestStand. See details/solution here

    If your LCD is blue and you get the error of memory/battery on each startup, then you need to replace memory RAID (99% chance that it is rarely a defective battery or the riser).  The operating system will not usually start in this scenario.

    If your LCD is amber and a message about the scrolling ROMB battery voltage, you should replace the RAID battery (sometimes it's because of riser).  The operating system will usually start and work very well in this scenario.

    First of all, stop playing with readers and replace the memory RAID (and battery and lift to be 100% sure).  Once it is replaced, due to all mixture player you have done, you might have a few steps very careful to recover your data and make your table online.  When you're ready to do this (again, it is useless before repairing the message memory/battery), call Dell technical support - it's always free on servers, regardless of the status of the guarantee.

  • Satellite Pro P200-14W and WXP - no driver for PC memory controller

    I installed Windows XP on the Satellite Pro P200-14W and installed all the drivers I could find on the Web of Toshiba site following the instructions provided.

    I always have a controller memory PC that appear in hardware Manager who is not driver related to it.

    My main problem however is that at random intervals (sometimes when you pull the power cable) the defects of the screen and turns into a mess of the desktop computer and the computer must be restarted because it does more. I tried several types of graphics drivers, but this does not stop the problem.

    Any ideas on how to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated.

    If you have installed XP on this laptop Vista you must also update the BIOS to the version of Windows XP.
    Seems that at this time it s a 5.00Win version of the BIOS.

    To get rid of the yellow exclamation mark in Device Manager, you must install the
    Flash Media Driver. This is the driver for your bridge Media Slot. This slot allows you to insert an SD card, Memory Stick (Pro) or xD picture cards.

    Good bye

  • memory day problems post 10.11.6?

    In the last days, safari has been giving me the BBOD, and crashing several times a day. Less critical (but hey, it's a holiday weekend) lies in the fact that I can't play the games (minecraft) because the application continues to run out of memory, despite the fact that I have 32 GB of ram. There is a process of kernel running at the level of the root that starts normally, but then the spikes to use all available memory (less than 2 GB to 18 GB - Yes gigabytes is - and all applications must be suspended at this time).

    Does anyone else have problems of memory after this last update? I don't think it's a coincidence that safari, memory and kernel of processes are involved in updates and my problems, but I am not an expert. Anyone have any ideas?

  • Stops at random - memory/battery problem?

    Hello

    I use a Macbook Pro (retina, 13-inch, early 2013) and OS 10.11.3

    Recently I had problems with what I thought it was my battery... The laptop randomly stops (if not connected to the power supply), usually when it is less than 50% charged. When I then connect it to the power and turn it on, my date and time was given to zero on January 1, 2013 or something.

    It becomes more and more difficult to work with, and it seems that the percentage that he dies gets higher. Sometimes I have an error message saying 'Battery of Service', but sometimes that happens and is not at other times. My battery had only 300 cycles, so I'm a bit puzzled as to why this is happening.

    In any case, just to be safe, I ran a test for Apple hardware, and I got this error: 4MEM/61/400000000

    That seems to say that there is a problem with my memory. I don't know if the problems of memory can cause such shut downs, or if it's my battery. I don't really want to take in battery life if she will come out with the same problem.

    Thank you very much for your time and help.

    Please take the computer to the Apple store to have the computer checked.

    I just bought 32 GB (2 * 16) G.SKILL RIPJAWS V F4-2133C15D-32GVR DDR4-2133 CL 15-15-15-36 v 1.2 memory to upgrade my HP desktop computer (model 850-065SE of envy). My office has a HP mother 2B3A and i7 - 5820 k and HaswellE chipset. The memory of the plant is of Samsung brand with configuration DDR4-2133.

    When I replaced the memory of samsung (trademark) with G.SKILL ones, the computer cannot start with black screen. When I've switched back to factory memory, the computer is back to normal.

    That means G.SKILL RIPJAWS V 16 GB memoryis is not compatible with this HP computer motherboard? or upgrade the BIOS can solve this problem? or do I return these memory and get 8 GB * 2 instead? Your comments are much appreciated.

  • Satellite Pro M30 - NVIDIA graphics controller problem

    Hello everyone

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro M30 with a Nvidia GeForce FX graphics controller. ([Image of the motherboard | http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh242/hardousss/PC3.jpg])

    My problem is when I turn on the PC and wait a few seconds red and white vertical stripes begins to appear on the LCD and it cannot go after the BIOS password screen. I can type the BIOS password but when I hit OK or button that ENTER the laptop freezes. ([See image 2 | http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh242/hardousss/PC2.jpg])

    In very rare occasions where the laptop was turned off for a long time, I listen to him on and he could overcome the BIOS password screen but freezes after a while: ([see Image 3 | http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh242/hardousss/PC1.jpg])

    I plugged it to an external monitor and nothing has changed.
    I removed the inverter (responsible for the lightning of the LCD screen) and the problem is still there.

    Always to blame the graphics chip from NVIDIA.
    I read here that it is not possible to replace them because they are soldered to the motherboard. But I want to, where can I get a laptop NVIDIA graphics chip. They sell somewhere?
    I have a friend who works in an electronics manufacturing company (SAGEM) and told me that they have the tools needed to replace any piece on any Board of Directors.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hello, my friend

    I agree with you. It must be a faulty graphics card. I put t believe you can buy a graphics chip separately but you can buy mainboard used laptop on eBay. In my view, Exchange Board is no problem for you.
