• HP Pavilion 550 - 155l: CPU - Z says 12 GB of ram, Windows says 4 GB

  Hello, firstly I want to say sorry of HP if I broke the rules because I'm new here.

  My problem is, I just got a new HP 550 building - 155l with 4 GB of RAM. Then, my friend gave me a stick of Kingston fury X DDR3 1600 Mhz, which is 8 GB for me. I tried to installed the RAM. Then, when I open the information system, its says that I have still 4 GB of ram (3.90 usable). I was very confused, so I went to come and download CPU - Z to see if the RAM stick works. And it is! it is my 8 GB key! And the tab says memory I have total of 12 GB of RAM but why Windows says only 4 GB (3.90 usable)? Is there something wrong? Help, please! You guys can see photos of preferences.

  PS Sorry if my grammar isn't very good. I'm not a native English speaker, I'm Thai.

  It comes to the n/b system information for Windows and CPU - Z comparison.

  

  It's the provided HP RAM.

  

  It's the fury X 8 GB RAM Kingston

  

  Thank you for every response.

  Windows sees only 4 GB because you have mixed densities (4GB + 8 GB) module and the modules of memory other manufacturer.

  If you want to use more than 4 GB successfully, then buy a memory compatible pair of bars secured and install them.

  Make sure that you remove the other two modules before the upgrade.

  See the following URL for guaranteed compatible memory module address. I have used Crucial for example. There are other manufacturers that ensure their modules are compatible.

• 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.

• I received a phone call from someone claiming to be windows saying that my computer has been infected.

  only, I was contacted by a person claiming to be windows saying that my computer has been infected and he called for help.  He hit me the windows and "R" key at the same time.  Then I typed in "eventvwr" and who showed me a list of some events with indicator red and yellow.  Then he wanted me to go back and enter "iexplore www.support.me", so he could fix my computer.  I became very suspicios and did not continue with his appeal.  Is it a hoax or someone really trying to help me?  Because I did not communicate with him, I feel that this is not a legitimate operation.  Thanks for your help.

  original title: telephone call from Windows?

  Hello

  It's a scam.

  Microsoft does not contact you unless YOU have made prior arrangements with them to do.

  There is an article in the link I'm you provide at the end of this one

  Read this Information from Microsoft:

  "Avoid scams to phone for tech support.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/online-privacy/avoid-phone-scams.aspx

  Don't be fooled of unsolicited calls. Don't provide personal information.

  Here are some of the organizations that cyber criminals claim to come:

  • Helpdesk Windows

  • Windows repair center

  • Microsoft technical support

  • Microsoft technical support

  • Windows Support Group Technical Department

  • Microsoft Research and Development Team (team of Microsoft R & D)

  Either these so-called "Microsoft" Tech companies want to sell you a worthless software, or remote access to your computer to try to steal your credit card and bank information and also achieve an identity theft on you.

  We have all the errors and warnings in our Event Viewer

  That's what you do if you never give them remote access.

  If you gave them remote access and you do Internet banking, contact your bank, explain, and change passwords.

  If you use your online credit card, cancel and get a new one issued to you.

  And the only way that willl you know that you are free to them is to backup your data and do a clean install of your operating system.

  See you soon.

• Is it better to have GB usable (at speed = 667 mhz) RAM 3.00 or 4.00 GB of RAM (with usable speed only 2.99 GB = 800 mhz?)

  Original title: RAM

  Is it better to have GB usable (at speed = 667 mhz) RAM 3.00 or 4.00 GB of RAM (with usable speed only 2.99 GB = 800 mhz?) I apologize if this sounds like a newbie question, but I'm not too familiar with that.

  3 GB sticks are 5300 and sticks of 4 GB 6400, if it matters?)

  Hello

  If you have Windows 32-bit instead of 64-bit so not all 4 GB cannot be used.

  As I said, download the 4 GB at 800.

• I can't open my camera of withdrawal because it asks to format when inserted, but when format us windows says it can't complete the format

  I can't open my camera of withdrawal because it asks to format when inserted, but when format us windows says it can't complete the format

  This problem is usually caused by

  1. problem with the connecting cable
  2. the problem with USB port
  3. problem with the device itself.
  I suggest you try changing ports and cable. If this does not work, the problem is with the device only.
  In addition, note that the option to remove is not necessary to be used if you use Windows XP or a higher version of Windows and the device has an indicator of activity.
  
  As you can see, most USB storage devices are configured for the fast-moving, which means, no need to use the option remove safely. If you are sure of a use, for example, a file transfer operation is complete, you can remove the device directly.

• I think I'm in my correct password, but windows says I'm not.

  It is your desktop windows 7.  I may enter an incorrect PW but do not.  There is a reason, it might reject a correct password.  I get the circle of rotation for 5-7 seconds then it says wrong password.  Any suggestions will be appreciated! If I reinstall my OS it will wipe my system?

  There are a lot of options built into Windows to help you out of this situation:
  • Restart the computer with your Windows repair CD, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if you have recently changed the password).
  • Log on to your account admin to spare, and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you set up an alternative admin account).
  • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (the password is usually empty).
  • Insert your flash drive USB with the password key file (only works if you have taken the time to create such a key file).
  • Use the password indicator (works only if you have created a hint and if it's good enough to allow you to guess the password)
  • Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)
  Most people have spare admin account, same as they have a spare House key or a car. If you take any of the precautions above, then you can do this:
  1. keep tapping F8 during the first phase of startup.

  2. select Repair from the menu.

  3. Select an administrator account, and then enter its password.

  4. When you are prompted, select System Restore.

  5. set Windows to a point when you can always log on.
  If you do not have a recent backup of your files, then you can use the method below to get back them even if it is impossible to open a session. It will take time to implement, probably a lot more regular backups would have taken you. Start your computer with a boot CD Ubuntu then its GUI allows you to save your files on an external storage device.

• When I start my CC Photoshop I get a window saying "this file of Gradient is bad or corrupt."

  When I start my CC Photoshop I get a window saying "this file of Gradient is bad or corrupt."

  (1) what to do to not get this error message

  (2) what is the difference between a bad and a damaged file

  Look for Gradients.psp the link below shows you where to find this depending on your OS.

  Preference file functions, names, places | Photoshop CC 2014

  Note: you will need to make the folders and hidden files visible in Windows Explorer or the Finder.

  Now I'm little reluctant to suggest the next bit, but I think that you have to remove this file, or at least change the extension to something like BAK.

  or

  Open the gradient panel and if you have a custom gradient, delete.  Or reset the Panel.

  

  The bad is when the gradient does not work. Corrupted is when it will work only if pay you the money.

• How can I say ios10 music playing ONLY what is loaded on the phone?

  How can I say ios10 music playing ONLY what is loaded on the phone? There was a way under ios9, but I can't find anything on ios10. When I shuffle a kind (like ROCK that has only 4 artists, I chose it), I want to shuffle only what is loaded on the phone, not what's on my mac (in the cloud)... I load only a few artists both because of space constraints. I have over 200GB of music on my mac...

  I don't want to see the playlists and artists who are not loaded on the phone either, but I can't find how to solve either!

  Launch the music application and go to the library > music downloaded. This shows that what is stored locally on the phone.
