Ram 8GB problem

I have a Z565-4311 supporting 8 GB max. I'm running win7-64. I tried upgrading to 8 GB (4 GB / slot), and it wouldn't start at all.

Now I put a 4 GB and 2 GB in there, the computer would start and read 6 GB with 1.74 GB of memory can be used. Also if I install only 4GB in 1 slot, it wouldn't boot either.

Any suggestions?

Problem solved - funny story! I had bought two portable identical one for my son and daughter (10 year old twins). laptop of my daughter has worked when I upgraded her memory, however, on the laptop of my son, windows would use no more than 4 GB although it said memory 8 GB. After spending a few hours trying to swap memory between two identical laptops, I gave up and told my wife to go to bestbuy and exchange the second laptop. She went and got traded the laptop. My son came home from school, took the new laptop and started using it. When I came home from work, I put in extra 4 GB RAM expecting it to work like a charm. To my amazement, the new laptop also exhibited the same problem, Windows would not use more than 4 GB. After spending a few hours and ranting on this forum about Lenovo, I began to suspect my son. A question him, I learned that he had followed the speedup Internet laptop forum Advisor - he went into msconfig-> boot-> advanced option and was set to maximum memory 4096 in Windows. As soon as I removed this limitation, Windows started using all 8 GB of RAM. As they say: half knowledge is worse than no knowledge.

    Fellow owners of Toshiba,

    I have a Satellite C660-PSC1JE-00Y00XHU with 3 GB RAM (1 + 2) I want to go to 8 GB.

    I went out and bought 2 x 4 GB, but so far no of the below those worked (the computer restarts or stop):

    http://www.Kingston.com/dataSheets/KVR16S11S8_4.PDF
    I was not to mix memories above, purchased two of each. Certainly, these operate at higher MHz and they aren't memories KIT, so that may be the issue.

    According to the specifications of the laptop (SEE attachment), I should be able to move to 8 GB.
    I found the following thread here, but it is not help me solve this problem: https://forum.toshiba.eu/showthread...RAM+memory+8gb

    I found my memories at Intel:
    http://www.Intel.com/content/www/us/en/platform-memory/DDR3-1333-n-ECC-SODIMM-validation-results.html?wapkw=m471b2873fhs
    Two of my memories have a value of 'B' in the R/C column, but what that means? I ask, it is because in the list, there are two 4 GB memory listed thus:
    M471B5273CH0-CH9
    M471B5273BH1-CH9
    But these memories have a 'F' in R/C column. Is that mean that they didn't work with the tested chipset?

    I found a KIT on amazon, where PSC1JE is registered: http://amzn.com/B00WAFGDTK
    But on the important information of the product section, only C655 notebooks are listed.

    Another thing I noticed, is that support for DDR3 frequency on my motherboard is only 533 MHz, but the memories that came with the laptop are 666,7 MHz. Does that mean I shouldn't buy same PC3-10600 memory, since it would not even capable of running at full speed?

    What I absolutely have to buy KIT or can I go out with two sticks of Samsung 4 GB?

    I am at a loss. Can someone point me in the direction of someone who can check what memory modules I need in order to have 8 GB in my notebook?

  • Satellite A665-S6059 - RAM / BIOS problems

    I've updated the bios of my Toshiba A665 in version 1.20, which fixed some errors with DDR3 1333 mhz ram. I bought the 8GB upgrade 10600 DDR3 1333 mhz. When I changed out of 2 x 2 GB chips with the new 2 x 4 GB those booted the laptop in bios, said 8 196 MB of ram. I saved and quit smoking.

    When starting, the toshiba start screen came, became black and repeat the cycle until that I turned off the laptop. I had to put one of chips DDR3-8500 2 GB in the first ram slot to mount the system to boot in windows. A chip of 4 GB DDR3 10600 is in slot 2. BIOS and windows says I have 6 GB of ram.

    I just can't understand why the chips of 2 x 4 GB will not start. Is this a BIOS error? In slot 2 for separate boots, the two sets of 4GB of ram chip.

    It's going to be a fix for this problem? I noticed that there is a way to solve the problem of card WiFi, and the strange changed between power supply and battery from the hearts of video card power.

    Hello

    Purchased modules memory compatible one fron authoriezd service provider or what you have bought exactly modules?

    For me, it looks like this new modules are not compatible, so they don t run in mode dual channel on your mobile phone. This means that you need other modules.

    I would recommend modules to an authorized service provider or some modules of high quality of Kingston, for example.

  • Inspiron 1525, Ram upgrade problems

    I am trying to upgrade my Inspiron up to 8 GB of RAM, but when I try to run it with 8 GB, BIOS refuses to finish loading. Replacing a stick of 4 GB with the old 2 GB stick, running to 6 GB of total RAM, it works fine, but not with the two sticks of 4 GB with a total of 8 GB. I am running the latest (I think). A17 BIOS revision for my laptop. Anyone know how can I get the whole 8 GB work?

    You can check the following:

    Is your i1525 a

    1. a 64-bit processor

    2. an operating system to 64-bit (OS)

    3. all 64-bit drivers?

    If Yes, then it is strange, it

    Run the BIOS and the operating system with 6 GB but not

    with 8GB.

    It cannot be the operating system if you do not

    a 64-bit for Win Vista Home Premium 64-bit instance.

    You have a Dual Boot (2 BONES) or not?

    If this is not the case, the problem must be in hardware.

    I want to test 8 GB of RAM on my i1525, but before you buy

    2 x 4 GB of RAM I want to know if the i1525 can handle this amount.

    A17 is the latest version. What the BIOS is displayed

    When you run with 6 GB under the tab "memory"?

    What kind of error (code) only the BIOS

    display with 8 GB? I understand it stops and freezes? If this is not

    give all an error code? Have you tried

    all combinations: module 1 4 GB in support 1, module 2 4 GB in Jack 2.

    Module 2 in 1 support and module 1 Socket 2 and so on

    with 1 2 GB module in the module socket 1 and 1 from 4 GB to take 2.

    Windows Vista (64-bit)

    • Ultimate: 128 GB
    • Company: 128 GB
    • Company: 128 GB
    • Home Premium: 16 GB
    • Home Basic: 8 GB
    It is absolutely a limitation of i1525. On the other hand: almost all sources
    said on a maximum of 4 GB if your i1525 successfully managed 6 GB!
    It's 2 GB above the max Dell says it can handle.
    You can check with Piriform Speccy, Belarc Advisor and PC Wizard 2012 how
    your 2 GB and 4 GB modules are managed by your i1525.

  • A50 DVD-RAM drive problem

    Hello
    When I try to burn at 8 x DVD-R, Nero says it can burn only at 2 x. It should normally 4 x.
    The drive is Mat * a DVD - RAM UJ - 820 s, FW version 1.0

  • RAM upgrade problem: Flash the BIOS? or upgrade the processor?

    Hi, I jumped in with both feet and now need help to get out me!

    I have a desktop PC HP Pavilion Elite HPE-470uk who becomes a bit slow (processor card here http://ark.intel.com/products/48505/Intel-Core-i3-550-Processor-4M-Cache-3_20-GHz). After you have added a bluray player that I noticed that it's getting a bit slow so thought I would add little RAM.

    I bought a few Hyper X8GB of HyperXbeast 1600hhz, slipped in and the PC did nothing but to turn on and off several times. I checked the two sticks and they both do it. I then (plow in front) checked what memory, the processor can handle and discovered "The Intel® Core™ i3 - 5xx / Intel® Core™ i3-21xx processors handle memory DDR3 1066/1333 MHz" by http://www.intel.com/support/processors/corei3/sb/CS-031175.htm

    After a discussion on another forum, that it has been suggested that I have updated the BIOS because it can allow the processor to manage memory 1600 mhz, but I don't know where to start on this or what version to selected download. I'd appreciate any help you can offer on this.

    The other way, that I can see is to update the processor itself. I thought of nothing too fancy just an i5 because it will allow me to run 3d blurays and should allow me to run some apps at the same time. After reading this http://m.wikihow.com/Upgrade-a-Processor it seems too complicated. Is it really just a matter of taking off the fan, declipsant the old processor, nine droping in and then put on some cooling stick stuff?

    Or should I just return the memory and get good memory?

    See you soon

    Atdot.

    Here are the specifications of original factory for your desktop HP Pavilion Elite HPE-470uk and its card mother MS-7613 (Iona-GL8E). Based on these specifications, this model can support up to 16 GB (4 GB x 4 DIMMs) as follows:

    Dual channel memory architecture
    Four DDR3 DIMM sockets (240 pin)
    PC3-10600 (DDR3-1333)
    PC3-8500 (DDR3-1066)
    Memory non - ECC, unbuffered
    Supports up to 16 GB on 64 bit computers

    In addition, this model can support the following Intel processors;

    Maximum frequency of the processor of the heart < = 2.93GHz
    Intel Core i7 - 8xx (Lynnfield core)
    Intel Core i5 - 7xx (Lynnfield core)
    Intel Core i5 - 6xx (Clarkdale core)
    Intel Core i3 - 5xx (Clarkdale core)

    If you do not have to worry about the update of the BIOS, there is no updates available for your computer BIOS. Honestly, I return the incorrect memory and upgrade to a minimum of 8 GB of RAM. Then, if it solves all your problems, you could also upgrade the processor.

    As the computer is nearly 4 years old, you can consider a factory HP restore to return the computer to a facoty as State. In many cases, it returns original full speed of the computer. The reason why this helps, because the BONE is swollen and clogged over time.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

    One problem I noticed, the fool who fixed, he didn't put it back correctly, and the DVD player has been hot glued...
    I fixed in March, April. But I'm used to, I can anyway...

    However, there is a significant problem.
    Written DVD player and bed PERFECTLY well in windows, however it cannot not be detected in the BIOS or what not.
    As XPInstallation Windows, Vista install detects it but BIOS can't.

    Can I update the firmware of the DVD-RAM? It's years Panasonic UJ-840.
    Or I can update the BIOS of the machine itself?

    You can boot from the CD? If the boot of CD work, then the BIOS is to see it properly.

    One question;
    This question seemed before that you have installed the second module of RAM?

    If this isn't the case, then this problem is certainly related to the second module of RAM.
    What you could do is to spend both modules of memory in a different memory location.
    Sometimes it helps.

    If the BSOD will always appear then you should replace the memory module and need to test another.

    Best regards & good luck

    My office is in the factory with the exception of the video card which is a NVIDIA Geforce GTX 750Ti graphics card.  I bought by 4 chips of RAM DDR2 PC2 6400U 800 MHZ 240 PIN by Samsung and installed according to the instructions from HP.  I also double checked my bios and updated to the latest version that has been on the HP website on 20/05/15.   When installed and rebooted my computer I first had a problem with my computer freezing completely on my and I have to make a difficult stop by disconnecting the tower.  I did a reboot and done a diagnosis (F9) and waited to see what would do the memory.  Initially, I had a 'FAIL' BIOMEM-1 error.  After a few attempts, I then is gone one chip at a time and done the same thing.  After that the first 3 installs successfully, I determined then a single chip was bad.  At this point, I restarted my system and started running it with 12g of RAM.  After about 10 minutes, my computer froze again and went to a blue screen stop.  After that restart the desired system get a dskchk is for windows.   I've looked online and made a Windows hotfix, and cured this problem but continued to get the gel and closed blue.  I then reinstalled the factory RAM chips, and it is not reappeared since.  According to all that I can see 3 of my chips are good and should run.  What other steps could be or are at - it a driver for updating bios them or not, I have to do?  Help, please!

    @sooperglew

    Only using three DIMMs will force the PC to run in single channel mode.

    Your first consideration should be Support HP or HP sales during the consideration of upgrades or replacement of memory. If you want to consider other manufacturers of the best way to avoid memory problems is to contact one of the leading manufacturers of memory. I would recommend that you try the tools of these manufacturers: Corsair, Kingston andCrucial. Once you have determined the DIMMs that you need, then contact commercial or technical support to check that you have selected the correct DIMMS. If you buy directly from manufacturers, then they will stand behind their products.

    Hi Ayato,

    Welcome to the Forums

    According to the request, we understand you need to upgrade RAM to your laptop Lenovo G40-70.

    According to the specifications of this model, the memory maximum supported by this model is up to 16 GB DDR3L 1600 Mhz. That's why I suggest you consider DDR3L RAM the RAM slots in the laptop doesn't support the same. And 'L' in the DDR3L refers to low voltage.

    I hope this helps. Do not post back if the problem persists.

  • EliteBook 8440p: Ram upgrade problem

    I currently have 4 GB of ram, and I recently took a 4 GB stick on another laptop. When I add the new RAM, Windows crashes. The BIOS reads the new RAM (8 in total), but Windows won't load. The new RAM is <4gb 1rx8="" pc3l="" 12800s="" -="" 11="" -="" 12="" -="" b4="">what I've read, the speed max is 10600 on this computer. Is there a way to reduce the RAM? BIOS is locked and not helpful. My questions are: is the speed, the only question? Is there a way to fix this? I would like to solve this legitimately, but if there are other options which may void the warranty, I'd be interested to hear about so, purely for academic purposes.

    Thank you!

    The speed is not the only problem, it's the tension. Your original brief was 1.5 volts and this new memory is 1.35 volts. It can run at 1.5 volt, but prefer not to and you did not provide a part number for the module, but if it is high density (4 black blocks on each side) it will not play nice with the original HP module. Do yourself a favor and get the memory of one of the good sellers, Crucial, Kingston, etc., that is specified as compatible with your specific model. Intel Core of first generation like yours are very capricious in memory.

  • HP G62 100SL: HP G62 100SL ram Upgrade problem

    Hello

    I wanted to upgrade the ram on my G62, since the out-of-the-box 2x2gb:

    ( http://www.kingston.com/it/memory/search/discontinuedmodels/Default.aspx?DeviceType=3&Mfr=HEW&Line=G... the serial number of my modules is 598856-001 and 002-598856, so that they are 2 gigabits - DDR3 1333 MHz)

    to them:

    http://www.Kingston.com/it/memory/search/?partid=kvr13s9s8/4

    Their specifications, they seem to be compatible, but when Windows tries to load, it just crashes and restarts and gives me this type of error: Kernel security check failure, then restarts, and so on in a loop.

    I checked the new memories on a different laptop and they work very well, I swapped the slots but nothing has changed. So, the problem probably lies in windows or directly on the configuration of the bios (but I can't change anything in there, I f.37 InsydeH2O, 3.5 version).

    You know a way to solve this situation or can tell you me a type of memory which will work for sure for the upgrade?

    Thanks in advance!

    Not exactly. Some versions of the G62 will accept 6 GB of RAM (4 GB and 2 GB), but this point is largely moot as I understand you are trying to install 2 x 4 GB total 8. In general, you do not want to mix the modules in sizes because you lose operation "dual channel" which is a bit faster than single-channel you can get from a module or modules of mixed size.

    The speed of the memory of your laptop is DDR3-1066. Your 1333 mhz modules are downclocking to 1 066 mhz and a memory downclocks better than others.

    You should carefully read the manual, but if you arrive at the actual parts for the memory modules list it shows a 4 GB module is only compatible with version 1.1 of the G62. 8 gigs will accept so not all models. Other than 1.1 versions are limited to 4 GB of memory.

    You have the processor i3 - 330 M with a dedicated ATI 5430 M video chip with 512 vram. Those who take the 8 gigs (version 1.1) have the 5470 graphics. See pages 19 and 20. You have version 1.0. He maxxes to 4 gigs is therefore peeling when you try to install 8.

    It is a lot of information, but the basic message is that you already have so much memory that can be installed on your laptop.
