1866 is a multiplication of something. Do not set it to 1866!!
I do not know your motherboard, but your processor would probably like something that add up to 1333 MHz.

A75MA-G55 and memory Problem

Hello i have problem with set memory to 1866. Can u help me with it?
This is my configuration:
Samsung 500 GB SATA II 7200 RPM, 16 MB NCQ (HD502HJ)
Good Ram GY1866D364L9/2G x2
Aerocool AEROPGSVP-450
SilentiumPC Pure Black BT-310
MSI A75MA-G55
AMD A8-Series A8-3850 2.8GHz
When i set from auto to 1866 then i hear 3 signals from mobo and nothing...

MOVED: A75MA G55 default memory frequency

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Undervolting & Modding Corner.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=152729.0

yes that's true. memory doesnt support jedec at higher level than 666 Mhz. just XPM is 1k MHz
It is not such a big problem to owerlock the memory to get it work on that frequency, but more, what i dont understand is, why i cannot get change the NB frequency to this 993Mhz.
I tried to overlock it also, i have movedl bus speed to higher level, but also max cannot give me this number and of course computer is than very unstable ( problems to start etc. )
I would like to have this overlocked frequency supported also by mobo and CPU and it looks like i'm not able to get it in any way :D or better :(
maybe im missing some point here.

MOVED: A75MA-G55 - "Lab Burst Mode"?

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Undervolting & Modding Corner.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=153182.0

I checked the changelogs for the standard BIOS release series of the A75MA-G55. There are two references to "Lab Burst Mode".
The first appears in the changelog for the E7696AMS.138 [v1.3b8] release:
- Change setup item "Enhanced Spread Spectrum" to "Lab Burst Mode".
The second reference appears in the changelog for the E7696AMS.139 [v1.3b9] release:
- Fixed Lab Burst Mode always enable when OC more than 133Mhz successful then load default.
That tells us three things:
1) The option should be available be available in the E7696AMS.130 final release under the name "Lab Burst Mode" and as "Enhanced Spread Spectrum" in all final releases before that.
2) The "old name" for that option suggests that it has to do with "clock modulation" (because that is what Spread Spectrum generally does).
3) Spread Spectrum probably may need to be enabled first in order to get access to the "Lab Burst Mode"/"Enhanced Spread Spectrum" option.

JPA @Lob annotation and memory problem

Hi.
Is there any way to overcome the memory problem with @Lob types?
FetchType.LAZY means lazy as it spelled. Am I right?
And it doesn't mean any stream handling of big sized lobs. For lobs are so big that my physical memory can't hold it.
@Entity public class Parent implements Serializable {
    @Lob private byte[] big; // what can I do if it is to big to hold in memory?
}Is there any standard way for this problem?
I found that openejb serves *@Persistent* annotation for InputStream/Reader for this purpose.
But I want to know if there is another way for more portability.
You know what?
I heard from a JPA spec guy that this problem (maybe it's not a problem) won't even be considered in next version. (2.0?)
How horrible...
Is it can be a good think that split the Lob column into a OneToMany children?
This is the best output, for now, from my head.
@Entity public class Parent implements Serializable {
    @OneToMany private Collection<Child> children;
@Entity public class Child implements Serializable {
    @Lob private byte[] chopped; // small enough to fit into memory
}

If the Lob is too big for your memory, then you are best off handling whatever processing you need to do on it through raw JDBC. If your only interested on the first n bytes, then you could probably map to something like this using a view the truncate the lob, and map your class to the view instead of the table.
You should also be able to define your variable as Blob or Clob and get the locator directly. But the locator is tied to the connection, so will not be usable after the connection is returned to the pool. I'm not sure how such a lob could be model if it can't be read into memory, perhaps as some special JPA Lob type that can return a stream on the data by re-querying the lob from the db.
What exactly to you want to do with the lob?

Mouse and memory problems (975X Pl pe)

First Hello,
this is my first post here, hope you can help me
PC configuration in my signature
OK. Here goes
1.   And most annoying problem – mouse problem (A4tech NB-90 mouse, connected to usb)
Mouse stops working, randomly (maybe once every month). It’s happening when booting windows. Mouse doesn’t work, actually all the led’s are blinking but it’s not recognized by windows. Disconnecting and reconnecting doesn’t work (nothing happens). Rebooting windows doesn’t help (still not working).
Solution to my problems is to shutdown the computer and disconnect the power cable from my PC, then reconnect it again and start the PC all over again. NOW it’s working!! WT ?
I tested mouse (3 months) on the other pc and it works OK there, so he is not the problem.
o yea, I formated hdd, and installed fresh windows and still no luck.
2.   Memory problem on 800MHz – I think this is because of incompatibility with motherboard or too weak psu
By default (motherboard)memory works on 667MHz. (and with this setup everything is fine)
The problem starts when I put it on 800MHz in bios – than system becomes instable (random reboots)
a.   Memory tested with memtest at 667MHz (both and than separate modules, 4 hours each test) -> NO ERRORS
b.   Memory tested with memtest at 800MHz (both and than separate modules) -> Never saw so much errors in my life :(
I doubt I’ll solve this problem (except buying new memory modules), but you guys know more than me so I’ll let you decide.
and yeah, sorry for my bad English!
Thanks
Bas
edit: memory problem solved. Patriot @ 800MHz needs 2.0V

KT4VL CPU and Memory problems

I have a KT4VL that I updated to BIOS version 1.60 with the liveupdate feature (I really like that by the way). Anyway, I have two problems with the board. I have a AMD 1700+ XP 1.47Ghz/266 CPU. The manual and your website says I should change the CPU FSB Clock under Frequency/Voltage control to 133 for that CPU. When I do, the system locks (corrupted a file and forced a reinstall of XP that was a pain). I've repeated that and when I change it back to 100Mhz, it doesn't lock. The web site says to change the CPU ratio to 11 with the 133 setting which I did but the system still locks/reboots suddenly. I even tried changing the Spread Spectrum setting from the 25% default to none but it still crashes.
The second issue is that I have a PC3200 DDR 256MB DIMM (Samsung
K4H560838D-TCC4) that is specifically listed in the manual as a recommended DIMM. However, if I put it as the only DIMM in the system, it doesn't POST or boot and gives 3 Long Beeps. The D bracket indicates that it's a memory problem. I exchanged the DIMM for the new one to make sure I just didn't get a bad one but it has the same behavior with the new one. When I put it in with a PC2700 DIMM I have, it doesn't boot or beep. It just sits there.
What BIOS settings do I need to put to support my CPU and memory correctly?

Bas,
Ok, I'll try 1.7. You think that will fix the memory problem?
The power supply is an AMD approved 350W power supply so I don't think that's it. I'll double check the cooling setup (it's a volcano so it oughta be good) but cooling could definitely be it.
The only thing I need you to verify for me is the BIOS settings...Will the AUTO setting work for the PC3200? Or do I need to specify it? And for the CPU, the FSB should be 133 and the ratio 11? Any other changes? Should I mess with the spread spectrum settings?
I guess I'd like to verify what my bios settings should be to support my CPU and memory.
Lastly, will I be able to use both my pc3200 and my pc2700 DIMM at the same time?
Thanks so much for your time and help.

the problem is the way the board shut down when I put 4 stick, it's like the board is overload
Quote
do you mean I have to enable XMS ?
Actually, it's not likely a mainboard overload at all, it's probably the CPU IMC having the problem. Enable of X.M.P. is the last thing you want to do. If the RAM has to be set in this manner, it is not programmed to properly default at the platform's designed specifications. BIOS revisions dealing with compatibility are being worked on to make up for this RAM manipulation.
My apology to the OP in advance for the next comments. Some here at the forum have been advised before, that having to set X.M.P. to get the RAM to work properly (having to OC it) is a wrong way to go about it. The platform must first be able to run at stock/auto/default with no issues 'first', then venturing off to more exotic settings later if desired. This 'forcing' of non spec 'rated' RAM & programming is purely product marketing tactics. As mentioned, with four sticks of RAM, the CPU IMC may require an increase of DRAM V. Here is the official specifications from the current Intel data. This data is not really open to debate. For those that have issue with it, take it up with Intel!

Performance and Memory Problems on OSX

Firefox seems to have some sort of memory leak. Even once I remove all the add-ons, and no matter which web pages, after about a day, Firefox is slow and I have to restart the browser. When using the diagnostics within Mac OSX, Firefox is consuming twice as much memory as Safari and is consistently the biggest CPU consumer. It would be nice if someone profiled the code and actually made sure it was optimized.

We are with the same problem. We read a lot about the vm in the RHAS 3.0. The vm was improved but, with bugs. We found a lot of inactive pages that, after the clean state, does'nt deallocate properly. This makes the thread kernel "kswapd" works a lot, taking all the cpu in the io process.
There is a known bug related to "kswapd" thread in the RHAS 3.0 kernel. The RedHat promess to solve the problem in the nexts releases (I really doubt it, because there was already 3 releases after its announces).
We have checked some strange behaviors too... The machines with Linux RH AS 3.0 + Oracle products (OracleDB and OracleIAS) are freezing randomically. We think that the shared memory are allocating kernel space pages, but we didn't found any evidences yet.
The workarounds (not tested yet):
- Upgrade to the latest kernel.
or
- Use the hugemem kernel (even when using less than 16GB of RAM, some guys reported that this solve the problem)
or
- Compiling a clean kernel directly from kernel.org. In this case, we don't have support from Oracle, but maybe the problem could be resolved until RH publish some bugless vm code with your kernel.

Performance and memory problems

Hello.
I've installed Oracle AS 10g in Redhat Linux EL 3. The machine has 3 GB of memory, 2 GB of swap. Its a dual Xeon 2.6 Ghz.
Imagine i reboot the machine. Everything works fine. The problem is, in 6 days, it fills all the swap memory and almost the memory available. If it reaches this values, the machine gets so slow... To correct temporary the situation, i need to perform a reboot. But the question is this is Linux, not windows...
Does anyone has an ideia why this is happening?? i've never seen something like this... after 6 days, the only memory available of 5 GB are 30 MB... this is not possible.
Help please !

Storage and memory problems on a new mac. PLEASE HELP

I had a macbook pro 5 years ago and backed everything up to my time machine. i just bought a new mac book pro yesterday. I only wanted to transfer my music and photo files over, and i somehow managed to do that but i think i made a mistake somewhere because now my storage memory is listed at over 400 gb used which i know is impossible. ive saved one document onmy new computer and the entire storage on the time machine is only 173 gb. I have over 300 gb listed as other on the new computer- at one point it was purple and categorized as backup but now it says other- can anyone help me?
my computer is running super slow now because of it and i just spent over 2000 dollars on this yesterday and I cant find anything in apple support to help me. i already tried looking through all the files and used the omni disk sweeper.
PLEASE HELP ME!

And boot order is set to boot from SSD?
Yes, but it forces it to boot to EFI Shell. When I press F10 on startup there is no other option to boot from than EFI Shell. I had this mobo working for about month and half with Windows 8 without any problems. Now after I flashed it to v 2.0 (Which is not reverse downgradeable to older 1.xx version) whole system started to act strange, display resolution can not be set properly, sound card stopped working. I wonder if its really final or only unstable beta version of this bios file.

Permissions and memory problems with Yosemite HELP!

I have had nothing but problems since I upgraded to Yosemite. My graphics programs crash and run impossibly slow. I have to restart constantly to clear maxed out memory. My internet speed drags to a crawl, and I constantly have to repair permissions to open files THAT I CREATED. I can't open file attachments from Outlook either (I will NOT use Apple Mail - my clients use Outlook, so I have to as well).
I am getting really angry. This is costing me time and money.
Please tell me there is a fix and how to do it.
Thanks.

Here's the report from EtreCheck:

CPU hog, faults, and memory problems in safari - solutions? or opera?

since recently (a week or two ago i think?) safari is showing the following behaviour:
i start the computer. start safari. reopen all windows from last session. use it normally for a while (activity monitor shows safari using 2 to 5% cpu with spikes to 15 or 20%). after some time (an hour, several hours, a day) the computer gets hot: activity monitor shows safari using between 40 and 115% cpu, never less. inspecting the process reveals that safari is producing massive amounts of faults (as of now 32 million and rising at over 10'000 per second. it also shows the shared memory size or the virtual private memory (one of the two, it varies) peaking at 16 TB (yes, Terabytes; 16.777 to be more precise) for a second (the time between two refreshes of the inspector window). this last behaviour is intermittent but happens during this sort of event.
if i quit and restart safari the problem immediately recurs, in contrast if i restart the computer i can use safari normally for a few hours before it recurs.
i have seen posts here blaming this sort of behaviour on flash, but this doesn't seem to be an adequate explanation to me as i'm able to use safari for some time before the issue occurs, and definitely visit pages with flash during that time.
another post recommended to empty cache, which didn't solve the issue.
is there a solution for this? if there's no solution i'd be willing to switch browser, but safari is very much the one i prefer. i'd even go as far as to re-install my whole system if necessary, but would prefer a less radical solution which allows me to continue using safari.

Hey, man, it's not just you, and it's not just your version. I have a similar configuration (albeit 2 GB RAM) and I have upgraded to the latest version of Safari.
By doing a little troubleshooting I've determined that Flash actually is the problem. It seems to get the most CPU when watching FLV videos, such as those on youtube. My theory is that the algorithm that runs the decoding on the videos is very, very complex, as it allows high-quality video over a standard broadband (ours is 3 Gbps) connection.
As such, this has the implication of being processor intensive as well as HDD intensive caching. My MBP reached 80 Celsius at one point, forcing me to quit most programs. After quitting my MBP cooled down to its usual 55 Celsius (still a bit warm I know, but it probably has more to do with the fact that it's on my lap now).
I do not believe that Safari is at fault, nor do I believe that your Mac is at fault. Mine does not get hot even during extensive Photoshoping or Dreamweaving or even XCoding but YouTubing gets it very hot. Thus, if you've anyone to blame it's Adobe. (sorta... just for Flash)
In terms of solutions however I am afraid I must leave you somewhat in the dark unless you want to quit watching Flash vid's. If you should write to anyone, write to Adobe because chances are good that some other users may be experiencing the same problems.
Hope that this was helpful.
P.S. Sucpicious confirmed. Firefox watching Flash vids also causes a lot of CPU percentage to be used and the cpu temperature to raise a good number of degrees. So... you're pretty much out of luck no matter what browser you use until Adobe fixes FLV problems. Sorry

2 complete FCE projects, files moved or missing, and memory full----help!

I have a
MacBook Pro version 10.4.10
Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 2GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM
and purchased the FCE HD.
After completing FCE projects-exporting to iMovie-sharing it over to iDVD-and burn to DVD, I was and is still in a blur from what happens next.
When I tried to create another FCE project, it said low disc space, so I purchased a 160GB Seagate, and attempted to copy the finished FCE projects into the Seagate, but when I try and open the project so I'm certain if I need to go back and edit or burn another DVD, it will be there, then it says there are files missing, or error code 1309.
I then got nervous, read through the FCE .pdf for assistance, started moving files around, trying to copy whatever over to the external. Now, when I try and open the existing project, I can't
I may be over cautious, but because of it, I've used up all my memory. Now, I can't open the projects because I've moved the files around.
Right now, I am at a halt. Can anyone help me please, is there a way for me to reorganize my files so that I can open my existing FCE project as the final product, and then archive and move to the external drive, and still be able to open, edit, and burn again? I'm trying to clear the memory from harddrive so I can work on add'l FCE projects.
When I check Disk Utility for my Macintosh HD, the capacity is 148.7GB, and my available is 479.7 MB.
The 160GB Seagate's capacity is 149.0 GB, and the available is 93.0GB.
Thank you for any assistance.

When you purchased the Seagate, did you format it Mac OS Extended?
-Go into Disk Utility
-Select the disk
-Make sure all your files are off the drive before you do this:
-Change Format to Mac OS Extended.
