Sound Problem Plus Memory Problem

I've also posted this same issue at the EVGA website with no help what so ever yet. Also if it's ok I'm having the above mentioned memory problem that it probable not related but if anyone does have good input I would love to hear. Hope this doesn't break any rules, didn't see anything in the listed rules thread. So here it goes.
Ok I'm having a few minor but very perplexing and annoying problems. I have recently built a new rig to include the following.
Windows 7 64 bit Home Edition
EVGA P55 FTW Intel P55 Socket LGA56
Intel Core i5-750 2.66Ghz 8M LGA56 CPU
Corsair Dominator 4GB DDR3 PC2800 (2 x 2 GB sticks)
Ultra LSP750 750w Power Supply
Seagate TB Serial ATA HD 7200/32MB
Cooler Master HAF 932 Full Tower Black Case
Galaxy GeForce GTS 250 52MB PCIe x2 (SLI Setup)
BFG - NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT GB GDDR3 PCI Express Graphics Card (Physx Setup)
PROBLEM ONE:
This one I had a lot less that I was able to actually try because it just confused the crap out of me. So I started by going to test my sound. I'm running an optical cable from the on board sound port to back of my sony surround sound system. I get sound from my left and right channel but nothing from the center, rears or sub. So figure no biggie just need to change the configuration from 2 speaker stereo to 5. surround sound. Guess what... the option isn't there? WTF? A sound card with an optical port with no 5. support? So went online found the drivers for the sound on the mother board and tried reinstalling thinking maybe somthing was wrong with the drivers on the CD. Well it still didn't work. So I figured what ever, I got an external sound card that I know works with Windows 7 since it was on other desktop and hooked it up. Its a Creative - Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5. External USB Sound Card. Well it installs fine and I go to test it. Yep you guessed it! Still only sound from the left channel and the right channel with no option for surround sound. So I was able to find updated drivers for that and ran em. Well now I have an option for Surround sound with side speakers only no rear. Oh but it doesn't really matter because the left and right channel are still the only ones able to produce sound. And yes the speakers work I turned on my X-Box 360 hooked up to the same speakers and LCD tv and played COD4 with full sound working fine. So something else has to be happening I just have no idea.
PROBLEM TWO:
The second problem was with the memory. Everything booted fine but it initial only detected 2 GB. By the way I had them installed in slots and 3. So I shut down and popped em out checked the copper connectors everything looked fine and reseated the chi
ps.
This time during the boot up I checked the BIOS. It saw all 4 GBs of memory. Continued into Windows. Windows now saw all 4 but only .99 GB was available. Now the only other time I've seen anything like this was with on board video sharing the memory, and even then it wasn't half of the systems total memory. I then tried shutting down and putting the chips in 2 and 4 just see what would happen. Well I got an EA post error on the LED, couldn't even boot. So I figured o'well power down completely and tried to run the memory in 2 and 3 to run it out of dual channel. I was able to boot but still had the same issue. .99 GB available and still saw all 4. At this point it was just getting silly so I figured ok I'll download the new BIOS with my laptop, burned it to a CD. Booted the desktop and ran the BIOS flash. Update seemed work fine, honestly the BIOS didn't look much different and I didn't take note of the previous version before I did it so I can only assume it worked. However it did not fix my problem. So I'm still stuck at windows seeing 4 GB of memory with only .99 available.
Anyway... I'll keep trying to get this working and hunting around online, but I'm really hoping you all have some ideas. I'll be trying to call EVGA today for some help too and possibly Corsair. Thanks in advance for the help!

Hello,
cannot help with the sound problem.
For memory, I've got almost the same thing but with 4 sticks of 2gb and only 2 detected on an ASUS P7P55D deluxe.
Bios was my issue but I needed to do this (but with pairs of sticks instead of sticks) after the bios update to finally get my 8gb under windows:
Make a clear cmos. Then boot the computer with only one stick of ram in the port .
If everything is fine, turn off and add the other port of the same color for dual channel.
If it does not boot with the 2 sticks in the port of the good color, try to switch ports again. Maybe one stick is dead?

  • SMS Deleted NOT LOW on Memory -- plus other problems. HELP!

    Ive only had my Curve 8900 for about a year, and I know thats about a decade in techie years but still...I'm incredibly frustrated with the issues I've been having!
    Most pressing of these issues is that my phone keeps deleting my SMS even though my memory is NOT low! I've read tons of posts about the same issue but its always resolved by freeing up some memory. 
    My current memory status:
    File Free: 90317537
    Thus I have 90.31 MB free...yes?  Shouldnt that be enough? 
    Apparently not. I have nothing stored on my blackberry, everything is on the Media Card (4GB) and I only have a couple applications (MSN, Facebook, GTalk) and yet my SMS get deleted regularly unless they are saved on my SIM card and also notifications on facebook are often deleted (those dont matter too much to me but I believe it is resulting from the same thing that is deleting my SMS)
    Further, my call logs ARENT being deleted. So I dont think its the same memory problem everyone else seems to have. 
    I will be most most most grateful to anyone who can help me out here or at least point me in the right direction.
    Im seriously considering shelling out for an iphone even though ive only had my blackberry for a year because I do rely heavily on smartphones and losing SMS is really driving me crazy. Sometimes I cant even read a newly received SMS before its deleted! By the time i pick up my phone its gone... 
    Please help!
    Ive had other problems as well, not to ramble on but in case they are related:
    I will be chatting on bbm for example and it will just exit out of the conversation or the application entirely. 
    Oftentimes it slows down so much that the minute hand or whatever stays and everything freezes until i do a battery pull (which i hate doing but have to at least once a day) This often happens when Im using the browser...
    Sometimes when I am getting a call the minute hand appears again and I cant answer
    Oftentimes when this happens it says that I am receiving a call from an unknown number, but when they call back it turns out its a number i have saved...weird...
    Sometimes I cannot dial or call (frustrating as hell when i need to make a call urgently!) I have to again do a battery pull to fix the issue. 
    Ive had other issues here and there but nothing really worth mentioning after this long rant so I'll just leave it at that!!
    Thanks to whoever has had the patience to read all this and I really do hope I can get some help before I release my frustrations on this piece of junk and end up having to spend tons of money on another brick...

    I suggest you follow this procedure:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-​Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste​...
    Make sure that if, when you are making the backup (step 1 in the procedure), you say NO to any prompt to update your device OS at that point...you need to get a clean manual backup first so that you have it available just in case anything goes wrong. You will not be using DTM to do the update -- rather, you will be using the AppLoader included with the device OS package (as per step 2 in the instructions).
    Also, make sure you have a manual inventory of all of your non-AppWorld 3rd party apps, including the source you obtained them from as well as any activation keys. You will want to re-install those fresh on the new OS rather than attempt to migrate them as part of the update.

  • CS5 Memory Problems, with Tiff large format

    Dear Friends
    This problem hit many people before me and there was a lot of feedbacks and helps given, but my case is add on to all other responses.
    I have PC with 12gb triple channel memory with I7 processor and 2gb Nvidia 460GTX graphic card, plus win 7 ultimate 64bit, and I though nothing should stop me. but I was wrong, at time it irritating and time consuming but so far no help.
    I rendered an image in Accurender and saved 2 times ones JPEG and ones TIFF just so I have both to see which one will print better quality sharp etc. I have both 64bit photo shop and 32bit, when I open the JPEG 330mb, Photoshop opens and I can crop etc, but when I open the TIFF file which is 420mb I get message saying no enough memory, which you may seen or come across.
    Steps I took so far:
    ·         Gave Photoshop more memory through preferences, not that it needs 64bit! no change
    ·         Tried the openGL on and off, the card is Palit Geforce 460GTX and supports opengl 4, no help.
    ·         scratch disc if 200gb so no space shortage, I have 2x300GB disc space
    ·         Played with increasing the cache to higher or lower, no help.
    ·         Just incase you say is my image is corrupted, no the win preview loads the image no problems.
    Similar problems with Adobe Indesign the large Tiff file can be placed on to A3 sheet all OK, but if I send to the printer I get message no enough memory, not sure if it is a printer memory or Indesign can handle the file, it handles 330mb JPEG no problem,
    400~450mb file is not that big and should be working fine, is it the TIFF and why!!.
    Have you come across this problems do you resolved please let me know.
    Biyoroob

    Near as I can tell, you didn't actually say what the pixel count is in the large image that's causing you problems.  You mention "330 MB JPEG" and "420 MB TIFF"...  Is that 420 MB in the traditional photographic sense, or a file that's 420 MB on disk?  If the latter, it's not clear whether it is saved with compression...
    Please clear this up - what's the pixel count, horizontally and vertically, in the TIFF file you cannot open?  Also, what's the color depth (bits/channel)?
    At first blush, and if I'm interpreting what you wrote correctly, you might expect the file sizes on disk to show a greater difference between 330 MB and 420 MB (JPEG vs. TIFF), but that would depend on the content and whether you have compression in the TIFF.
    And it seems at least part of your problem is with printing, yet you don't mention the printer brand/model at all...  What printer is it?  From the sound of things the limitations may be in the printer driver, not the app, but that's not clear.  How big is the print that's failing?  A3?

  • Nokia C5-03 Low memory problems ( Other Files )

    Please help. I have a nokia C5-03 the handset is showing phone memory is full. I have checked and uninstalled all unecessay applications. But problem is still there. when i check the phone memory it indicates that i have other files of 42mb installed and using phone memory. however i am unable to check what other files are installed or classfied as other files. Can you please assist me so i can know what these other files consist of or where they are located.

    Hi Thetao,
    I typed a more extensive reaction before, but it got lost when I pressed "post". Therefore I just respond to the main points that you mentioned (and some I found out myself).
    Strange: I can't find the 40 MB Maximum User Storage on the Nokia website anymore (nor the 75 MB). But it sounds very familiar to me. It looks to me as if they removed this from the phone specs, also of other Smartphones by the way.
    Yesterday, I deleted some small apps that I don't use (anymore) such as InternetRadio and I also removed Nokia email. Although the apps were below 2 MB together, this freed up over 7 MB of Phone memory (24 MB free now)! I think there were still some old emails stored in C: which I couldn't delete any other way. This helped me a great deal already but I tried your suggestions as well.
    1. No map data or CITIES folder on C: 2. Switched messages memory to phone (and phone to offline mode) and I did indeed find a forgotten email account with 30 email messages. Not much but I had 24,7 MB free after that. Of course, I put messages memory back to the memorycard. 3. Used the free edition of Y-Browser to manually delete the cache folder. Not much data in that, but 25,1 MB free after that. Nice tool, with which you can reach folders that normally stay hidden! Used YBrowser to search all C: for files over 300 kB. Only 2 files: boot_space.txt in C:\ (500 kB, contains only the X repeatedly as far as I see, but is probably essential for the operating system) and C:\resource\python25\pyton25.zip (1 MB). It looks like an installation package, but I'm not sure if I can delete it. By the way: YBrowser hasn't made a shortcut in one of the menus. Only way that I found to start it was to look for it using the Phone's search function. Is there a way to make this shortcut myself?
    4. Yes I did. No Images folder on C: anymore, nor other big files (see point 3)
    5. I use Bluetooth for file transfer sometimes, mainly for installation files (such as YBrowser.sis, but I did this one via USB-cable). However, no big files are left on C: so I don't think I have this problem.
    6. I tried to delete Nokia Chat yesterday as well (with the other apps), but it won't be uninstalled the normal way as it says "Uninstall cancelled" (not sure about the exact translation since my phone 'speaks' Dutch) Do you know if there's another way to get rid of this 3 MB app that I don't use at all?
    I think I may have found an explanation and a solution for the memory problem while navigating. You mentioned the "memory in use" in the map settings. Above that option there's a slide bar for the % of memory that the navigation can use. Standard is 70%. I always thought this was about storage memory on (in my case) the memorycard. Another topic mentioned that this the working memory (so the RAM) that the navigation may use. Setting it to 70% means there's only 30% left for other apps that run in the background. The other topic states that this is nog enough so the slider should be set to for instance 30% for navigation leaving 70% free for "the phone". From behind my computer, navigation seems much more stable. I'll try this setting in my car soon and let you know how it works.
    Thanks a lot for thinking along with me so far! There's already 25,1 MB of space, which is great since it was only 7 MB last Sunday. And navigation looks more stable. I'd appreciate if you have some more answers to my latest questions, but if not I think my phone will work a lot better already!
    Regards, Paul

  • Problems with Memory on upgrading

    Problems with Memory. I Dide not hace space to upgrade. Now i do, but It still cancels for lack of space

    Actually, your problem does not sound like memory, but hard drive space. By default, you lose 10% of your drive to the OS and formatting. To tell how much hard drive space you have go to:
    >Finder
    >At the bottom of finder in the gray bar it will tell you how much space you have available on your hard drive.
    Your hard drive should be no more than 85% full! If it is, delete, get a larger hard drive, remove items to an external drive.
    GarageBand only needs 1.2 MB of space.
    In order to use GarageBand, some additional content is required. If you do not already have the content installed, it must be downloaded.
    Make more disk space available by moving some of your files to a different disk (such as an external hard disk or a USB flash drive), or by deleting files you don't need and then emptying the Trash

  • Computer freeze / Memory problem?

    Hi,
    I assembled my new PC approx. 1 month ago (full spec attached at the bottom of the message).
    Since then I'm having a lot of freezes (freeze, not BSOD). I tried using several OS versions with no luck, so I though it's a memory problem.
    Testing the memory, each dimm by itself, with memtest86+ succeeded. I even tried to check each of the memory banks and the test still succeeded.
    When testing with more than one dimm (both with single-channel and dual-channel configuration) I'm getting freezes during the check.
    What could be the problem?
    Thanks!
    The full spec:
    Case: Thermaltake Armor+ ESA VH6001BWS
    PSU: Thermaltake ESA 850W
    CPU: Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650
    CPU Cooler: Thermaltake BigWater 780e ESA
    Motherboard: MSI P7N2 Diamond (Bios version is 1.1, this also occurs at 1.0)
    Memory: 4 x OCZ DDR3 PC3-12800 Platinum 2GB (OCZ3P16004GK), 8GB Total
    Sound card: MSI X-Fi Xtreme Audio (the one that is bundled with the P7N2)
    GPU: MSI GeForce 280 GTX OC
    OS: Windows Vista Ultimate with SP1 - x64 edition
    The system is not overclocked at all, All the bios settings are set to default.

    Quote from: John_Doe on 18-January-09, 02:38:37
    OK, That's what I did:
    Changed back the clock speed to auto (it was auto set back to 1333MHz), Changed the voltage of the memory and the NB back to "Auto".
    Then I changed the memory to work as 9-9-9-24 and tested it with 2 dimms in a dual-channel configuration.
    So far, It's looks like it's working and working well (2 passes completed successfully).
    Quote from: John_Doe on 18-January-09, 02:38:37
    Assuming that the tests will go smooth, I would like to ask if this is a recommended configuration to stay with (1333MHz, voltages at "Auto", memory set to 9-9-9-24)?
    Running those dimms not at overclocked & overvoltaged (and even in "lower speed" then it should) should prevent them from having short lifetime, Am I right?
    Yes, because their DDR3 chips have been designed to work at 1333MHz with 9-9-9-24.
    "Have been tested to work at 1600" is another fish in another (OCZ) ocean.
    good luck

  • Memory Problems and Windows 10

    My HP 500 C-60 came with Windows 8.1
    It has 8 GB of RAM.
    I downloaded and installed the Windows 10 update. 
    When I rand the Windows Memory Diagnsistics, I was informed there was a memory problem and encouraged to contact the manufacturer to identify and repair the problem.
    What do I do?

    Hi, Run the below diagnostic and see if you really have a memory issue. Try this bootable memory diagnostic CD. Download memtest86 iso file and burn it to disk using Imgburn.Memtest86 4.20 plus USB installer.

  • Help with 655 Max and Possible Memory Problems...

    Just recieved my 655 Max and have put my system together, but when I turn it on it makes a constant beeping sound. I tried taking out both memory sticks, lol, and turning it on and the sound stops, I tried putting in one memory stick and the sound starts again.
    I suppose this is a memory problem.
    by the way I am using Corssair 256mb CMX256a-3200C2 memory.

    [The alarm that you are getting is the CPU Fan Alarm you will have to diable it in the Bios. I am using a Vantec Aeroflow  heatsink and my CPU alarm also is constantly on and was very annoying till I disabled it. My system still doesn't boot to XP yet as I have RMA'd bothe the MB and Ram.   QUOTE]Originally posted by TritonB7
    Hey Kaiguy the comp does continue to make sounds till I shut the system off. And I'm not sure how a standard pc tone sound would sound like, :(. But it does make beep followed by a lower pitched beep, and it repeats this till I shutdown the system.
    (1) I cannot Access Bios.
    (2) I have two sticks of Corsair 256mb CMX256a-3200C2 memory. I do not have any other ram available that will be compatible with this motherboard. Ive tried using one stick at a time in each of the slots. No Luck.
    I highly think that both sticks not working is very unreal.
    (3) and reseting bios by the jumper isnt working either.
    I can probably try buying some diffrent memory, or returning the whole mobo and exchanging it for the same one.
    By the way on my monitor when i turn the comp on it says 8x Extreme or something close to it while the comp is beeping. I doubt that, that has anything to do with it. This is my first MSI board :( , I've always been an Asus person but Im still open for MSI i'm sure I just recieved a faulty board.

  • Neo 2 Platinum Memory Problem

    Hi There,
    i have here two PQI DDR400 PC3200 512MB dual-sided, one crusial DDR400 PC3200 512MB one-sided and one crusial DDR400 PC3200 1024MB dual-sided.
    Here's the problem:
    When i install all the four modules my computer wont bootup it will only give one long beep inducating that there is a memory problem. All four modules where tested separetly with no problems. I have now only the two crusial modules on my Neo 2 Platinum running with no problems.
    Can some one help me so i can use all four modules please???????

    Assuming they will all work together, it sounds like the BIOS isn't set up properly, or the board isn't detecting the speed correctly. When installing more than 2 dimms, most boards, due to the memory controller on the CPU, will set the RAM to the 166 divider, or DDR333. Generally it will also set them to the 2T command rate. 
    If you have a Winchester core you will more than likely need to run DDR333 with the 2T setting. On a Venice you may be able to get away with DDR400...I know on an Opteron you can do DDR400 with the 2T command rate easy enough...I will assume it is probably the same with the newer cores as well.
    Again, IF they all work together (mixing and matching dimms may not always work), you may just need to set the BIOS up properly. Pop in the sticks that work, go into the BIOS and set the RAM to the 166 divider, and then make sure the command rate is on 2T. Be sure all the RAM can run the timings that are set in the BIOS. Save and exit. Then power down and unplug the PC, pop in the other stick and see what happens.
    If that doesn't work, you can try different slots, or an even a lower RAM divider (probably won't make a difference). IMO, if all the settings are correct and it still won't work, I would guess that mixing the RAM is the problem. I have seen it happen - I have also had weird RAM configs work perfectly, so it is kind of hit or miss...I hope some of that helps, good luck.

  • Memory problem please help Idmediently

    Hey guys, Ive got an ipad 3 (16gb) and I had a look on my memory i have a few games and apps (GarageBand, keynote, imovie, pages, monoply, game of life and a few others) and it said 12.2 gb used and 1.2gb available i think that's counted wrong and I know approx 1000mb is 1gb it's impossible what do I do to get it accurate, even my brain holds more memory than that! Please help ASAP also I've tried restarting it
    Here is a list of apps:
    GarageBand 696mb
    Imovie 531mb
    Ibooks 366mb
    Keynote 362mb
    Numbers 336mb
    Pages 311mb
    And 52 apps are 150mb and under
    I know that I had the same number of apps yesterday and the memory was 8.2gb I want it to be accurate.
    Reply ASAP.

    Centipedee, No memory problem, you don't have enough room. It can take at least 2 times the required memory to load an app to the iPod. Once it loads it only requires 1.8GB of memory space but to get it there you'll need at least (maybe more) 3.6GB of space, I know it sounds screwy but it's how it works. Hope this helps, Good luck.

    It is not refreshing the memory every time.
    So plz give me proper solution.
    Its urgent.
    Thanks
    Ranveer

    Hi,
       I suppose you are trying to store some particular value in memory in one program and then retieve it in another.
    If so try using EXPORT data TO MEMORY ID 'ZC1'. and IMPORT data FROM MEMORY ID 'ZC1'.
    To use SET PARAMETER/GET PARAMETER the specified parameter name should be in table TPARA. Which I don't think is there in your case.
    Sample Code :
    Data declarations for the function codes to be transferred
    DATA : v_first  TYPE syucomm,
           v_second TYPE syucomm.
    CONSTANTS : c_memid TYPE char10 VALUE 'ZCCBPR1'.
    Move the function codes to the program varaibles
      v_first  = gv_bdt_fcode.
      v_second = sy-ucomm.
    Export the function codes to Memory ID
    EXPORT v_first
           v_second TO MEMORY ID c_memid.        "ZCCBPR1  --- Here you are sending the values to memory
    Then retrieve it.
    Retrieve the function codes from the Memory ID
      IMPORT v_first  TO v_fcode_1
             v_second TO v_fcode_2
      FROM MEMORY ID c_memid.                                   "ZCCBPR1
      FREE MEMORY ID c_memid.                                   "ZCCBPR1
    After reading the values from memory ID free them your problem should be solved.
    Thanks

  • Memory Problems with Adobe PDF iFilter for 64-bit

    In preparation to rebuild my Windows Search Index, I installed the Adobe PDF iFilter for 64-bit on my system (Vista Business 64).  When I finally rebuilt the index, I wasn't too surprised by what I saw happen, namely, the SearchFilter.exe process would kick in whenever I wasn't using the system and just eat RAM.  One time I turned it on and it had allocated over 4,000 MB (and my system only has 4,030 MB available) so of course it was forcing all the other processes to hard fault (ie. everything was moving like molasses--for example, it took 20 minutes to put the thing to sleep).  But I just let it do it's work, figuring that perhaps this was to be expected relative to the small library of PDF's that I've accumulated on my computer, ranging from LaTeX generated text files, to containers for hi-res scans.  So, after a day and a half of basically not using my laptop, everything finally calmed down and I enjoyed the benefits of searching the content of my library from the Windows Start menu--for a short while.
    However, to my dismay I've encountered the problem that this freezing of my computer would now occur after everytime I download a new PDF (in this particular case they were Google Books scans) and then left the computer to idle.  Again, the SearchFilter.exe would allocate all of my RAM for itself and just push everything else onto the Virtual RAM, which means the SLOWEST possibly fetching you can get.  I had to uninstall as this was making my computer unusable for 15-30 minutes after each idle. Everything is back in working order without the iFilter, but I would like to know if anyone has reported such problems on x64 systems.  Obviously, I will also report the problem to Microsoft, since the search engine should certainly have the precaution to handle such memory problems.   However, it is a problem that is created by the Adobe PDF iFilter interacting with the Windows Search engine.

    Hello,
    We believe we have figured this out.  It looks like it has to do with the length of the default folder location for the Adobe iFilter.
    I was able to reproduce the issue and the following resolved it for me.  See if this resolves it for you all as well.
    Here is how to get Adobe Version 11 PDF filter to work.
     1 . If you haven’t already, run the following in SQL Server:
    Sp_fulltext_service ‘Load_os_resources’, 1
    Go
    --you might also need to run: 
    sp_fulltext_service ‘Verify_signature’,0  --This is used to validate trusted iFilters. 0 disables it. So use with caution.
    --go
    2. Stop SQL Server.  (Make sure FDHost.exe stops)
    3.  
    Uninstall the Adobe ifilter (because it defaulted to having spaces or the folder name is too long).
    4.  
    Reinstall the Adobe iFilter and when it prompts for where to install it, change it to: C:\Program Files\Adobe\PDFiFilter
    5.  Once the installation finishes, go the computer’s Environment variables. Add the following to the PATH.
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\PDFiFilter\BIN
    NOTE: it must include the BIN folder
    NOTE: If you had the OLD location that included spaces, remove it from the path environment variable.
    6. Start SQL Server
    7.  IF you had an existing Full-text index on PDFs, drop the full-text index and recreate it.
    8. You should now get results when you run sys.dm_fts_index_keywords('db','tblname')  --Note: Change db to be the actual database name and tblname to be the actual table name.
     Give this a try and see if this fixes yours. 
    Sincerely,
    Rob Beene, MSFT

  • Memory problems with PreparedStatements

    Driver: 9.0.1 JDBC Thin
    I am having memory problems using "PreparedStatement" via jdbc.
    After profiling our application, we found that a large number oracle.jdbc.ttc7.TTCItem objects were being created, but not released, even though we were "closing" the ResultSets of a prepared statements.
    Tracing through the application, it appears that most of these TTCItem objects are created when the statement is executed (not when prepared), therefore I would have assumed that they would be released when the ResultSet is close, but this does not seem to be the case.
    We tend to have a large number of PreparedStatement objects in use (over 100, most with closed ResultSets) and find that our application is using huge amounts of memory when compared to using the same code, but closing the PreparedStatement at the same time as closing the ResultSet.
    Has anyone else found similar problems? If so, does anyone have a work-around or know if this is something that Oracle is looking at fixing?
    Thanks

    From your mail, it is not very clear:
    a) whether your session is an HTTPSession or an application defined
    session.
    b) What is meant by saying: JSP/Servlet is growing.
    However, some pointers:
    a) Are there any timeouts associated with session.
    b) Try to profile your code to see what is causing the memory leak.
    c) Are there references to stale data in your application code.

    hi,
    we have some memory - problems with the WebLogic Application Server
    4.5.1 on Sun Solaris
    In our Customer Projects we are working with EJB's. for each customer
    transaction we create a session to the weblogic application server.
    now there are some urgent problems with the java process on the server.
    for each session there were allocated 200 - 500 kb memory, within a day
    the JSP process on our server is growing for each session and don't
    reallocate the reserved memory for the old session. as a work around we
    now restart the server every night.
    How can we solve this problem ?? Is it a problem with the operating
    system or the application server or the EJB's ?? Do you have problems
    like this before ?

  • Dual Channel memory problems on Neo 875P

    I am having considerable trouble getting the NEO 875P to work with dual channel DDR400 DIMMs. I have two Kingston KVR400X64C25 DDR400 256MB memory modules, each of which works correctly by itself. However, once I move one
    of the modules to channel B, I cannot boot my operating system (currently Windows XP.) The problem also occurs in Windows 2000, which I also have on the system. I receive blue screen errors that indicate paging/memory problems. I have upgraded my BIOS to the latest version (1.3)* in the hope that it would solve my problems, but it has not. The POST screen detects that there is 512MB of memory working in Dual Channel mode, but even when it does get through the O/S booting process (rarely), it crashes within minutes. Putting just one of the chips in makes the system perfectly stable. If anyone has any information, please let me know!
    Thanks,

    * My board was dead after trying to flash the 1.3 BIOS, but after about 10 attempts of using CTRL+HOME method to recover the BIOS, it finally worked with version 1.0. I then re-flashed with 1.3, and it rebooted fine. Are there any updates about all of the problems with v1.3 ?

    >I can only answer based on what I've read on this forum
    I figured as much, I was just wondering if you knew whether MSI themselves frequents the forums or answers emails sufficiently.
    I've had an interesting development though. I stumbled upon Tom's Hardware Guide's article about 875P motherboards at http://www17.tomshardware.com/motherboard/20030519/i875p-01.html
    They mentioned that they needed to increase the memory voltage from 2.5 to 2.6 in the BIOS to get some memory modules to work. I did this, and for the first time, I am running in Dual channel DDR mode. However, the article also mentions that "the system does not run completely stably", so I guess I'll have to wait and see if it crashes again. However, I'm far enough beyond the XP splash screen to post this message, so I guess we're getting somewhere!

  • MS-6380 Memory Problem

    I have a MS-6380E with the latest BIOS and chipset drivers. Athlon 1.5 Ghz processor, Geo4 Ti series card with 64MB ram and latest drivers and an SBLive Platinum 5.1 card, with the latest drivers. Windows XP Pro is the operating system. The system has 2 PC2100 256MB sticks of DDR ram on the board. This past weekend I tried to install a 3rd chip, PC2100 512MB chip to bring the system up to a Gig of ram. The system would reboot immediatly upon logging into Windows. I took the memory back and exchanged it for another. Installed it with similar results. I tried all three slots with the new memory and the two existing. No, I didn't try the new memory by itself. I finally go it to appear stable for a little bit but I also play Dark Age of Camelot and the latest symptoms were that the system would kick me back to the desktop as soon as I got to the initial "connecting" screen in Dark Age. I also had other odd behaviour with the additional ram installed like my modem taking longer to validate my connection. When I went back to the pre-existing configuration 512MB total, everything would stabilize. The DDR brand was Centron, I know it's not the same manufacturor as my other two sticks but I don't recall the brand on those.  Also, just in case you needed to know Dark Age of Camelot is an MMORPG. I checked their tech section and nothing on this problem and their game. I've since returned the memory and have resigned to maxing out at 512MB tho the system specs say I can go to 3GB. I really like this board but am frustrated at the memory problem.
