Windows 7 64 - bit freezes on the home screen with 8 GB memory

Hello I have a Dell Dimension 5150 (64-bit) with 2 GB of RAM. I installed Windows 7 64 bit and it worked very well. Now, I have updated the memory and equip 4x2gb bars of memory. At startup, the (A07) Bios recognizes 8 GB of memory, but when the "Starting Windows" screen it freezes and it goes no further. I can get out of 4 GB of memory and it still works very well on 4 GB. I looked for answers, but I can't see clearly how to get the full memory of 8 GB works on Windows 7 64 - bit for the Dell Dimension 5150. Would appreciate someones help with this. Thank you, Tony

Up to 10.7 GB/s of bandwidth and 4 GB addressability memory for faster system responsiveness and support for 64-bit computing.

According to the Intel site

You need to upgrade your board or settle for 4 GB.

  • Windows 10 boots and stuck on the black screen with high CPU

    Hello

    I have a MBP 15 "mid 2015 16G with AMD R9 M370X i7.

    I've been running bootcamp with Windows 10 installation for about a month now without any problems.  However, yesterday 10 Windows started and has been blocked in a black screen (before any screen logo or connection win) with the CPU works hard and hot.

    1. I tried to restart some time hold button / stop and start with the option key, key and then selecting the windows bootcamp partition but it drove the same black screen with CPU hot work in the background.

    2. I can always start OSX fine during this period.

    3. I tried to leave in the black screen for a good 10 minutes, but it does not change and the MBP gets really hot.

    4. I tried clearing NVRAM with Boot option + command + P + R

    5 I can't in Windows 10 safe mode using F8 or FN + F8 after you select windows to boot manager (starting with the down option).  Am I missing something here?

    I don't have a copy of Installer windows 10 with me right now unless someone can tell me how to create one under OSX.

    I searched on the internet forum and apple, but have not found a solution that works for me.  Many speak of win10 black screen with cursor showing, but my question is just a black screen with no cursor.

    Someone at - it other ideas besides reinstall Windows 10?

    You have a black screen with or without power adapter, both? If 10 Windows does not start correctly three times, it should bring up the recovery console. Windows automatic updates are enabled? You have created/activated Windows system restore points?

  • Search in Windows 8 is the jump for the home screen with a single typed character.

    As soon as I type anything in the search box, Windows 8 jumps to my home screen.  This completely prevents the search function.  Any suggestions for a solution would be much appreciated.

    blinks always directly to the start page without performing the search

    So, it doesn't look like a problem with the entry.
    Research work anywhere else?   For example Win - E, Ctrl-e

    There is a convenience store called the search and indexing, you can try.   Ironically, it would be useful to have search working to find, but you can navigate to it knowing it's there.

    Model reader problem: WDBHML0040HAL-RK

    -J' ordered this drive of Studio 4 to WD outside of eBay for $109, used. The drive has been used previously on OS X, and I had planned to use it between two Windows 7, 10 and 10 OS X via dual-boot.
    -Boots PC regularly without the connected reader, but it hangs at the splash screen, if the player is connected to one of my 10 USB ports.
    -I can't not to enter the BIOS with the drive connected, and if I get into the BIOS without connection, BIOS freezes as soon as I make it connect.
    -I went into the BIOS, (with the device / disconnected /), and external hard drives moved to the low boot priority. This had no effect.
    -The PC recognises the drive if it is connected / after start. I can copy files to and from the disk without flaw.
    -When it is received, the disk has been formatted with a face-to-face 200 MB EFI system partition, (I have no background knowledge about it), with the rest ~3.5TB unscathed HFS + space.
    -Immediately, I formatted the partition HFS + and it separated in exFAT and NTFS.
    -Deletion of the EFI partition to command line has no effect.

    Someone online says that this is due to the ASUS P8Z68 trying to boot from the drive and to disable "Legacy USB Support" from the BIOS, but my knowledge of the ways all USB devices are disabled, including keyboards. I am doing a FULL disk formatting and will update the post I have try these solutions.

    I'm really in a bind here, guys. In all, any help is appreciated.

    Solved myself. I went back to the basics:

    The drive is 4 TB and I'm trying to use it as exFAT, for compatibility purposes. exFAT supports up to 2 TB per partition. The solutions are either break the 4 TB drive halfway, or to use the NTFS system.

    For the record, I chose exFAT.

  • How to show the message from the application in the notification bar to the home screen with the compilation of the OS 5.0 on OS 6.0

    Hi, expert,

    I've implemented the ApplicationMessageFolder to add the message to the application in the device message box. We also set the indicator on the notification bar. To OS 5.0, we could not click the notification bar to see a summary of the message. 6.0, we could do it, but although our application put new notification on the notification bar, it will not be shown on the summary message by clicking on the notification bar.

    From this link: http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Java-Development/Application-Indicators-and-Home-Screen-Integ..., it says:

    ========================

    Applications that add custom messages can specify if they are displayed in the summary of the notification.  This is done using the ApplicationFolderIntegrationConfig, which was added in BlackBerry Device Software version 6.0, as shown in the code example below, which is an extension of the previous example.

    ===========================

    However, our application is built with Java SDK 5.0 as our minimal operating system is 5.0. That does not mean that there is no way that we could do? Thank you very much in advance for any idea about it.

    You can use preprocessing, but it should be a separate os 6 version, then.

  • How to fix Windows 7 64 bit freezes on the sleep/hibernate?

    My computer freezes constantly just before the sleep/hibernate or just after waking you. I had this experience with SP1 and without.

    After removing the SP1, the system will NOT crash before going to sleep. However, it will crash as soon as you wake up. Below is summary dumps of two representative falls.

  • Tecra A8-ez8512 freezes on the splash screen after installing Win XP

    Hi guys, this is my first post!

    I recently had an opportunity Tecra A8-ez8512 as a gift that had Vista Business installed (and works perfectly!). As a passionate XP user, I quickly decided to format the WHOLE hard drive and then install XP Pro SP2.

    After the format was successful and cleaned the entire hard drive, I put my xp cd in the drive and rebooted the laptop ready to select the boot cd.

    But now it crashes right on the home screen with no small slider under ratings to select a boot device. I pressed on the key board, but nothing happens.

    I noticed little black dots on the white part of the Intel symbol shortly after. What does that mean?

    Can someone please give me some advice?
    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    No idea what the black little dots on the white part of the Intel symbol might be a graphics card problem? ?:| who knows.

    But I m bit confused said you you formatted the HARD drive first, and then you insert the Win XP disk in order to install Win XP
    How you format the HARD drive without the use of the Win XP disc?

    Secondly, it would be interesting to know if you can install the operating system using the Toshiba recovery disc.

  • Microsoft Windows Vista Home Permium freezes to the logon screen or gets stuck

    Microsoft Windows Vista Home Permium freezes to the logon screen or crashes on the black screen with Copyright Microsoft Corporation with the load with six green bars moving through bar. It will start in safe mode. I ran the auto repair (recommended) when starting after being forced to stop. After it says its full it restarts and remains stuck on the black screen with Copyright Microsoft Corporation with the load bar with six green bars that cross so I force disable it again.

    I had no problem with this computer, he got in last seven. It was working fine yesterday and then the without wire came out, so I restarted the computer to find the connection again as I had done several times before. That's when it froze on the opening of session and password screen. Who started this cycle of freezing or stuck on the black screen with the loading bar permanently running.

    UPDATE:
    Start safe mode then made the instructions on the clean boot. Not checked, all iteams he says and rebooted and it worked. So I went to the next step to select only half to refine the list. Restarted and when at the loading screen for a little over 30 sec - 1 min (which is more short than the time it took to work initially after the first stage of the boot with all unchecked), but it goes to a completely black screen that has not happened before. So now, a little lost, or do I have to keep trying to refine?

    Hi Greg,.

    It will not harm the computer to run it in a boot environment.  Some programs do not work properly because they were probably responsible for their own services and rely on them to work.  You have disabled all non-Microsoft services, and things like printers and software can be difficult.

    Click Start, then options type power and press ENTER.  Let us make sure that the system is not configured to sleep.  Go ahead and put the power plan to High Performance, then click on change Plan settings below.  There will be a framework for "put the computer to sleep".  The value than ever.

    If it continues to turn black in clean boot mode, you may have a hardware problem.  One thing you could do if it's a desktop system and really need to use it now, it is the lid of the machine and aim a fan in the box.  This will help if it is overheating.

    Please complete the steps to diagnose the problem with the boot when you have the chance.

    On windows media Center, there is no spot on the home screen menu to allow me to add extender? Can anyone offer advice?

    Hi Halam.

    Thanks a lot for your help on this. I don't know if this method would work as I finally found a solution after hours of playing with different settings and downloads. For others who are trying, I found that you need the rollup2 update (which I got) If you have this, go to this link www.xbox.co:80 / fr-U.S./PCSetup/MCE05Lite and follow the instructions. I don't know if it works for the extension, however it worked to use my xbox as an Extender.

    Now, I have these two pairs, unfortunately I have a new problem. As the menu tasks is not yet here, that I can't go on an Internet browser. Basically I try to videos from websites to my tv via my xbox and I have found a method to be very simple to do, if the menu tasks was on my version of windows media Center. If anyone can offer advice on this, I would be very grateful.
