Tecra 9100 - installed like 512 MB RAM, but it slowed down my computer!

After much fumbling around trying to install my new 512 MB of RAM, I turned on my computer to find that it starts much more slowly. A message popped up saying 'Memory Module added' and my computer shows 768 MB is installed which is correct, because I already have 256 MB installed in Slot 1.

So why on Earth is my computer even slower! I bought it to speed up the thing! My computer is slow to start, is less sensitive and much better with just the 256 MB of RAM installed.

I think I might have damaged the RAM or the Slot 2 because at first, I inserted it incorrectly. They should have a video demo on how to install it because the manual didn't help me that much!

The RAM is crucial and supports my cell phone because I ran tests to determine what RAM I need.

Can someone help me please!

Hello

Well, it is possible that the new RAM is malfunctioning.

But have you checked the speed of RAM? How much MhZ is the module supports?

The Tecra 9100 supports PC2100 512 MB (PA3164U - 1 M 51) module and it runs at 266 MHz.
If the new module supports a lower speed that the old second module will work also with lower speed.

Moreover, I would not recommend using modules without name. The performance is bad. Kingston modules are much better.

  • Why the system writes: installed 4 GB of ram, but usable only 3.6 GB of ram?

    Why the system writes: installed 4 GB of ram, but usable only 3.6 GB of ram?

    3.6 GB is a very good number - much higher than most people's.

    All versions of Windows 32-bit client (not just XP/Vista/7/8) have a
    Address 4 GB of space (64-bit versions can use much more). It's the
    theoretical upper limit beyond which you cannot go.

    But you can't use the whole address space. Even if you have a
    Address space of 4 GB, you can only use around 3. 1 GB of RAM (and as I
    said, you do much better than that). This is because some of
    This space is used by the hardware and is not available for the operation
    system and applications. The amount you can
    use varies, depending on what hardware you have installed, but can
    range from as little as 2 GB to 3.5 GB. It's usually around
    3. 1 GB.

    Note that the hardware is using the space, not the real address
    The RAM itself. If you have a larger amount of RAM, the rest of the RAM
    goes unused because there is no address to map space to.

  • Should have 8 000 emails in my Inbox Windows Mail (Vista) considerably slow down my computer with 3 GB of RAM and trigger alerts from Norton of "the High CPU use by Windows Mail.

    In addition, about half of my 8,000 e-mails are unread. Thus, the fact of having 4 000 unread emails in my mailbox Windows (Vista) slow down my computer more than if they were 4 000 read emails?

    If so, is there a quick way to mark all read emails as read in Windows Mail (Vista)?      .. .in windows Live Mail (Vista)?

    Even if these unread e-mails degrade the speed, is there a quick way to mark all read emails as read in Windows Mail (Vista)?... .in windows Live Mail (Vista)?

    I also regularly get an alert Norton of 'Use of disc high by Microsoft Windows Search Indexer.'  Gravity is the next, and what can I do to fix the problem?

    Finally, I have a lot of folders: would have 2,000 emails in the Inbox Windows (Vista) slow down a computer more than if 2 000 mails were one or more files?   This change of response if the e-mail is unread vs bed?

    #2: the Inbox is accessible by your computer whenever he asks new messages. The fact of having 1,000 messages in the Inbox slow it down? I have no personal experience, since I never have more than a dozen or messages in my Inbox, but it is so likely. If you have lots of free space on the hard disk, the messages would be better in another folder (s). Even if you create more WinMail's local folders and move messages to them.

    I would also say this. Try to compact and repair the database.

  • Tecra 9100 - where to get extra RAM?

    OK, so I found Crucial.co.uk a very useful site to determine what RAM your system can work with. Please can someone clarify for me than if I buy a 256 MB of RAM from them that I will also be able to use 256 MB of RAM already installed. It will be 512 MB of RAM - perfect for me.

    And another thing, where can I find slot1 and slot2 and RAM is easy to install?

    Hello

    The Tecra 9100 can be improved up to 1024 MB.
    Two memory slots are available at the bottom of the unit and therefore, you can use the two modules, i.e. 2 x 256 MB or 2 x 512 MB.

    As said that banks of memory are placed at the bottom of the unit. I think that it s in the middle and the coverage is only fixed with a screw.
    Simply remove this screw and you will be able to open the lid and should see two slots

    Hi @minxfiles ,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    This is a good place to find answers and advice!

    You have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the HP Forums Learn how Post and more

    I understand that you have 6 GB of ram and it is only readable 929 reading.

    Just to be sure you're correct DDR3 ram installation?

    Installing the chips of RAM, they must be of the type suitable and properly matched.  You can have 2 @2 for 4 GB of ram or 2@4 GB to 8 GB of ram. To have 6 GB of ram, you would need 1@6 GB to 6 GB of ram.

    If you have added a 4 GB of ram with the original 2 is it came with, it is very likely what is causing the problem.

    Good luck!

  • I installed 6 GB of RAM, but only 2 GB can be used

    Hi I looked for an answer to my request, but I found the same answer everywhere and it does not

    I run Windows 7 64 bit and I have 6 GB of installed RAM (Yes in the system it says that its installed) BUT

    He said also only 2 GB of ram is usable out of that 6 GB?

    Now, my GPU (Asus geforce gtx 470) says in the manual it has 1 GB of memory dedicated, so that leaves 3 GB missing lol

    In my BIOS my PC says I have 2 GB of TOTAL ram? Now, it's an important goal. I have an Asus p7p55d-e pro motherboard. Any help as to how I can check if the ram IS working properly or how to make this usable ram?

    Thank you!

    What RAM do you use? Also update the BIOS, please. Remove the gain of RAM and put it back. Maybe it is not properly installed. "A programmer is just a tool that converts the caffeine in code" Deputy CLIP - http://www.winvistaside.de/

  • Micorsoft windows search filter host uses 3g of ram and slows down the computer to a crawl.

    search filter host started running after the updates and it slowed my laptop to a crawl.   Why is it turning?  And that fact?

    Running Vista on the HP hdx laptop.  RAM 4g dual-core

    It is probably rebuild the search Index (maybe called something in one of the updates for this action) - Although it could do other things as well (it's hard to tell).  You can do this finish faster in general by reducing the number of file types or sites included in the Index (Start/Control / Panel / Indexing Options / Advanced)- but the file types and locations are not included in basic research (it's a compromise).  Some people say that excluding files .xml help (especially if you have a big disco).

    If this does not solve the problem (or you're stuck with it running and it will not be closed) Download Process Explorer http://download.cnet.com/Process-Explorer/3000-2094_4-10223605.html and see which fits all the CPU usage - it should provide more information than Manager and helps focus in spots on the problem.

    The problem may be with the updates (or one of the updates).  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started (before installing updates without doubt).  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates (but be careful, because if the issue is resolved, then one of these probably caused updates and you do not want to recreate the problem).

    For more information on the updates (which seems to be the source of your problem since it was started after them installed), repost in the Windows Update Forum: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/InternetExplorer/threads where the people who specialize in updating issues will be more than happy to help you with this problem.  Try to provide them with the names of the updates and their number KB (as well as all that you have done to try to solve the problem).

    I hope this helps.

  • Why speedgrade slowly guard eating up more RAM? Why slowing down?

    So, I tried to use the new Speedgrade CC 2015 on my desk with:

    • 4790 K I7
    • GTX 960 (2 GB OF VRAM)
    • 16 GB of RAM (Corsair Vengeance 1600 Mhz)
    • Purple WD 3 to HARD drive
    • Corsair 650W PSU

    I have some Adobe products configured to use up to 12 GB of Ram, while the 4 GB remaining is used to run Win 8.1 and several other background processes (Ref: image provided).
    I realized I still edition speedgrade pantry gradually upward from RAM. I have a 5 min video with several cuts I've linked directly from Premiere Pro for Speedgrade and even a few basic changes later, I think the program is weak and there is a serious mismatch between change values and the changes that appear on the screen. Is there a bottleneck of some sort that I'm missing here? The use of the RAM develops gradually with each additional change. Here a picture after some modifications in speedgrade. Note that I closed Premiere Pro after import via the Direct link.
    speedgradeMemLeak.PNG

    As a result I can't continue working in speedgrade and must close and restart. But the problem starts again in a few moments. What I'm doing wrong here? Also, is this normal high ram for a 5 min video with barely any changes done in speedgrade?

    There is a memory leak in Sg that strikes some people and seems to have expanded, including YUV Vectorscope, opened. Given the ranking without scopes is so limited that they are stupid, well, that's a problem. They are working on fixing this problem as she can hit hard. Saving & never closing ten minutes is a pain, no? My 32 GB of RAM lasted a little longer... but still would be mounted max and s l o w everything down.

  • I7 quad PC, 12 GB RAM, 64-bit slows down after several click operations

    My usual assembled quad i7 PC is about a year old.  I had a recurring problem of the working speed using the mouse during video editing.  The first mouse functions start clicks quickly to the Premier Pro and other Creative Suite CS5 software.  However, after only several mouse clicks, nothing appears to register.  After a short time, mouse clicks become active again but the PC becomes slow.  It was recommended that I check with Adobe to confirm that my system complies with the specifications of the Creative Suite CS5.  As far as I know, the system exceeds the specifications of the software box.  I fear that one of the RAM modules may not be meeting the specifications for speed.  How can I check this for the following configuration or other suggestions?

  • Tecra 9100: Try to install updadet driver for card his Yamaha AC - XG

    Hi all

    I got a Tecra 9100 and like many others I had problems after installing SP2.

    I tried to install the sound card with the driver downloaded from the toshiba support page:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/FAQ.jsp?service=EU&FID=TRO0000001b59

    but I get a windows pop saying that the file yacxg.sys is missing.
    Once the installation is complete and the sound card is not installed.

    Is there anyone who can help me?

    Thank you
    Joazinho

    The fact is that the driver listed in the FAQ from Toshiba is for SP1 and NOT for SP2

    I think you should google a bit and should look for if you find an audio driver that is compatible with the Service Pack 2 update

    Yamaha already provides the fixed driver.
