Performance degrades in Probook s 4540 after upgrade memory

Hello. I installed recently in my memory modules two Kingston Probook4540 (2x8gb ddr3 1600 CL10 240 pins). Since I did this, Windows 8 is much longer to start and performance dropped considerably. But, if I put only one of the two modules, or the original 4 GB module, Windows runs at normal speed.

I think it's a BIOS problem, as I see this error even on laptops the other brand, for example here
http://superuser.com/questions/379970/laptop-is-incredibly-slow-after-RAM-upgrade

I have the latest BIOS version available (F31 26-SEP-2012).

Thank you.

In case anyone is still interested in this topic:

It is a solution that worked for me.

It is not an official solution or supported.

I used the laptop intensively in the described configuration and had no problems that I can relate to the configuration of the memory.

Deduct from a 256 MB RAM memory available for OS could eliminate the problem for some processors.

The solution runs on:
-HP 4540S

-i5 - 2450M

-AMD/Intel switchable graphics card

-16 GB OF RAM

-Bios F.42

It might work for other processors.

Under Windows, you should deduct 256 MB of RAM, using EasyBCD or a similar tool.

Instructions for EasyBCD:

Under Advanced settings/developer set 256 under "MiB deducted from physical memory", save the settings and reboot.

In Linux, the "mem = 17G" value in the boot of the kernel settings (actually deducted 256 MB).

Edit:

On Windows 7 and later versions, you can also use the following instead of EasyBCD:

bcdedit/set {current} removememory 256

(Run the command at the prompt with administrator privileges and restart).

  • Satellite L100 113 starts slowly after upgrade memory

    Hello

    Toshiba Satellite L100 113 PSLA3E-02401JRU starts slowly after upgrade memory with Kingston KTT533D2-512 (512 MB) of memory.
    When I press the 'power' button, it flashes, starts the fans and HARD drive several times. Then it shows BIOS start messages by memory full 768 MB and starts Windows XP without a problem.
    This behavior is noticed only after "shut down."
    It does not happen with "restart".
    What can I do to eliminate this long "attempts" to start my laptop computer?

    Thank you

    Hello

    This problem appears before upgrade memory?
    Have you used exactly the same memory modules?
    If this isn't the case, then perhaps there are a few compatibility issues.

    Usually, after the insertion of the modules you must enter the BIOS and then save the settings. Please it and eventually the laptop will start without any problems.

  • Firefox 4 beta too slow / crashing after upgrade memory?

    Hello

    my beta firefox started crashing my whole system yesterday and only noticeable change I did was upgrade memory of 3 to 4 GB of RAM...

    I tested my system widely and it works very well until firefox is started, after that, the system started crashing and takes forever to be reactive. I uninstalled and reinstalled firefox, tried running without addons, I tried to close all the tabs and all Eske I remembered... still no luck.

    I am desperate because I really wanted to keep this beta on my computer, and cuz is a new facility, I can not install firefox 3.6 on side by side, I only have an option 'upgrade' on the installation wizard...

    What can I do to fix this?

    Thanks in advance!

    The steps to troubleshoot and diagnose problems of Firefox would say you always try in questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode of course some additional software may conflict, it is even more likely if you are using a beta version of firefox and probably the beta or alpha some of the addons or plugins.

    I think that it s you already know that this Satellite L50 - has - 1 5 would support max 16 GB of RAM (2 x 8 GB)

    But why, box for computer laptop doesn t is very simple: the new modules are not compatible.

    I found modules recommended by Toshiba.

  • ProBook 4520 s: lack of features on a ProBook 4520 s after upgrade Windows 10

    Hello dear community

    Long story short: I have a HP ProBook 4520 s and yesterday I upgraded manually (with the tool provided by MS) Windows 7 Pro to Windows 10 Pro. Everything went very well and smooth and it works perfectly well until now.

    The problem is that some of the features of the laptop no longer work. Here are some examples:

    -Highlight the option on touchpad

    -built-in camera

    -Some FN buttons like the one for the brightness of the screen while others (for example, the volume and email) working

    My reasoning is that it lacks certain drivers or these functions are somehwat is not compatible with the new OS (it's a 5 + year old PC after all), but I could be wrong. I'd like to hear some suggestions and opinions on this.

    If someone needs to my specifications complete, there are:

    Operating system: Windows Pro 64-bit 10
    CPU: Intel Core i3 330M @ 2.13 GHz 61 ° C Arrandale 32nm technology
    RAM: 4.00 GB Dual - Channel DDR3 @ 532 MHz (7-7-7-20)

    Hello

  • Satellite M30X-122 does not start after upgrading memory

    Hello

    I want to upgrade the RAM in my Satellite M30X 122. Correctly my NB contains 2x256MB.
    I bought a GB 1 333 MHz. Cl2.5 module PC2700 (corresponds to the former, but more grand ;-)))
    Now I build in the module, but after the build-in system is dead.
    It doesn't show anything on the screen (after pressing the button one)).

    Does Anyboby have some tips?

    Thank you very much
    Peter

    Hello

    Toshiba has recommended the use of these memory modules:
    PC2700 256 MB (PA3311U - 1 M 25)
    PC2700 512 MB (PA3312U - 1 M 51)
    1024MO PC2700 (PA3313U-1M1G)

    Well, the size of 1024MB should be compatible. In this case, it s not a module size.
    Have you tried to get into the BIOS? BIOS recognizes the memory module?
    Maybe the module is broken?

    In my opinion, you should check if the module memory works on a different unit. If this module works correctly on another unit if your M30X doesn t support this module of memory and you need one another.

  • R50E does not start after upgrading memory

    I tried to upgrade this laptop from the factory of 512 MB to 1.5 GB. I got a Kingston 1 GB DDR - 333 SO-DIMM, but after I installed it, the laptop does not turn. Only the power led is lit.

    I don't know why this happened, because all tests indicate that it should work.

    1. the new stick is ok. I tested it in another laptop and it worked. I also cleaned the contacts with isopropyl alcohol.

    2. the memory locations are ok. The old memory works in each slot.

    3. I tried to install the new one stick in a slot and it did not work.

    4. This update is officially supported by record of IBM and BIOS is up to date (v2.1, December 2006).

    Unless I'm missing something there is a confusing question. Unfortunately, I don't have an another 1 GB DIMM to test with.

    TBut I don't think it's a matter of density. something fundamentally wrong with this system. I just discovered that I can not upgrade the memory somehow, even not with a stick of 256 MB. The system starts only with the current key.

    OK... This is not good, but I have to tell you that...

    I guess it's time to throw the boy part of retirement and move to a new machine...

    Good luck.

  • W500 PCI-Express does not work after upgrade memory 4gig

    Laptop is a W500 with WinXP SP3. I have the external ViDock PCI Express video card. Absolutely, it works like a champ. I recently received an upgrade of memory 4gig for the W500. After the upgrade of the default value would be 2gig RAM for the new 4gig, the laptop does NOT start with the inserted PCI Express card. I remove the card PCI Express ViDock and it starts very well and of course, works very well. Same behavior either stand alone or in the docking station. I tried going back to the 2 Gig of RAM and the new ViDock works perfectly. Google is pretty quiet on this issue... This could be a problem with the ViDock? the W500? Windows XP? The memory? Doesn't seem wise for me a memory 'simple' update would disable a component. Thank you,-Ryan

    Hello

    Looks like not compatible or faulty module.
    You can start the laptop properly using the old modules?
    If Yes, then the new memory should be replaced by another.

    If the boot netbook doesn't, additional memory module which means this module is not compatible and you need another.

    You can use the DDR2 533 MHz (PC2-4200) 200 - PIN SODIMM bars!

    The pc2-4300 Rams are the same as PC2-4200. It s just a marketing gag PC2-4300 are PC2-4200 modules that can be overclocked by some versions of BIOS PC desktop

    However, you must take the PC2-4200.
