Z77A-GD65 - fast ram and Intel Rapid Start don't work together??

Greetings.
I have got 2x4Gbyte G.Skill CL10 2400Mhz ram. When running this ram at its default speed at 2400Mhz, Intel Rapid Start don't work. When I shut it down, it acts normal until the point where the system "wakes up" for a few seconds to write to the special partition for IRS. The PC then try to reboot, but after 2 attemps it says that the Overclocking has failed and I have the choise of F1 (setup) or F2 (load default settings and continue).
If I lower the ram speed below the default speed (i.e. don't use the XMP profile), then Intel Rapid Start works fine.
Memtest86 do not show any error at all after 4 pass with the G.Skill at 2400Mhz. To me it seems like the motherboard can't handle this speed at the state in Intel Rapid Start.
Anybody with info about what to do?

The internet is bloated with paid "reviews" ...
Here is what you have and what you paid for:
http://ark.intel.com/products/65520
Max Memory Size (dependent on memory type) : 32 GB
Memory Types : DDR3-1333/1600
Memory Channels : 2
Max Memory Bandwidth : 25.6 GB/s
Intel does not guarantee anything above 1600MHz.
On the top of that, 25.6 GB/s bandwidth is enough for DDR3-1600 in dual-channel only.
In other words, above 1600Mhz the perfomances boost is close to ZERO.
RAM speed over 1600Mhz does nothing? That WAS true, but not anymore. First of this:
Anandtech:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/6372/memory-performance-16gb-ddr31333-to-ddr32400-on-ivy-bridge-igp-with-gskill
xbitlabs:
http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/memory/display/ivy-bridge-ddr3.html
overclock.net:
http://www.overclock.net/t/1438222/battlefield-4-ram-memory-benchmark
Second, I can messure a real performance difference when using this memory at 2400mhz vs 1600mhz, f.i. Winrar5.01 x64, when searching in reg.database, and other memoryhungry programs. My graphic-card is not powerfull enough to show any difference in games, but almost anything else I _can_ se a difference.
If you honestly can read these 3 links and still say, that memory speed does not matter, I think I know more about this than you
I'm quite sure, that a big place like Anandtech is not payed to show up this result.

Z77A-GD65 and Intel Rapid Start -suddently a problem ?

Greetings.
Have been using Fast Boot with my mobo since I learned how to do it, and it has worked flawless. But suddently something annoying is begun.
When power on with IRS active, it starts to load with black screen, but after about 5 seconds, the hdd-led turns off, and my monitor goes to sleepmode (no signal from graphic-card). It then just hold there for 15-25 seconds, then wake on again and boot to windows 7.
At first I had an access-code to log into windows, and with this active the pause 15-25 seconds is after the screen to type password is on, but BEFORE I can actually type anything.
What can cause this error?
On a secondary SSD I have installed Windows 8, incl. Intel Rapid Start, and the error is ALSO there! So my guess is, that it is something in the BIOS, but I have not changed anything in BIOS (just the bootorder to start from either SSD1 or SSD2 (Win7 or Win8).
Please help if you can. I have braged about my 10 seconds start to a friend, but when I showed it to him, I had this silly error, so instead of 10 seconds it took 33 seconds. It was so embarrassing for me

Is the hibernation partition large enough? (= to the amount of ram you have installed)
Since this worked for awhile, what changed?
Did you install some new drivers, new bios or new hardware?
Might want to update the firmware of the ssd's
If you wish, you can try the newest bios: >>Beta BIOSes<< When used with the forum flash tool, it will update the me versions. Aftwards, you will need to re-install the me drivers.
Yes, it has worked, so partitions is OK. The strange thing is, that I have not changed drivers (oh yes, a driver for my Nvidia graphic card, but that was after the error began, and only in Windows 7), no new BIOS settings I can remember of, no new hardware. It just started this about a week ago without I have changed anything. I have tried to reset BIOS, and load an earlier setup-profile of BIOS (my OC-settings), but that did not help.
Oh, BTW, I can't install Microsoft SDK tool as seen here:
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/177443-gathering-startup-shutdown-sleep-hibernate-reboot-trace.html
It begin install, but suddently under install, it starts to uninstall again without any error. I have an idea, that this tool might show me what is going on when starting IRS, but that might be a mistake?

Thinkpad W530 and Intel Rapid Start Issue

Hi there, I have a Thinkpad W530 and am having an issue with Intel Rapid Start. When I enable it, it works fine. Once. When I bring the computer back from the S4 state everything is working just fine. But the Intel Rapid Start service disables itself. I have to re-enable it each time I want to use it. Any ideas? Thanks! Charlie Durand

This is happening for me too on my X1 Carbon, having wiped it and installed Windows 8 manually. Rapidstart will work fine the first time I turn it on, but then it'll pretty much say it's done with me until I switch it back to "on" again.
Having to check the manager each time is rather tedious, so I'm going to turn it off (edit:uninstall!) and use hibernation until a fix is published.

Oracle 9i and 9i Developer Suite don't work together

I've tried to install 9i and 9iDS in different homes. Then, I can work with SQL*Plus (of 9i) but all 9i DS's applications don't work at all. The main problem is that I can not connect to the Database of 9i.
Is there any body know the solution? Pls help, this is the first time I use developer suite to study Form and Report.

this tnsping was a great start. it allows the user to find another place to look for errors ora files.
I was looking in every instance of my TNSnames.ora files. the one in the 9i as well as the 10g were alike and fine. I had to comment out some bad lines from the 10g ora file. the tnsping found the SQLnet.ora file that contained an error. in this case the error was the same line needed to be commented out.
it is not that I forgot to do so but I didnt know that this line was even in any of the files.
this tnsping works as a great trouble shooter.
thanks...

Ipod and external Hard drive don't work together

I got a dell optiplex gx260 which has 6 2.0 USB ports. My IPod (80GB classinc) library is stored on external HDD. When I connect my HDD to the comp and point iTunes to the HDD library everything is good and I see my songs. As soon as I connect iPod it shows up “unknown device” in a device manager. If I disconnect HDD and connect iPod only windows finds it OK, but as soon as I plug HDD back in iPod disappears. I’ve tried reinstalling sys and inf files, pointing towards updated drivers and all nothing still the same thing, tried every port and every combination on the computer USB ports still the same thing iPod and HDD don’t want to work together. Please advice, thanks.

I got the same problem here but not just with IPod. When I power up my external disk (with aux power supply) my usb stick (or IPod or printer or scanner or other devices) on other ports get disconnected. All devices did work toghether some months ago.
I think this is related to a hardware problem. Things began to fail, when I tried to co-supply 5V to a device connected to my usb bus. I possibly toasted some logic on the motherbord.
Testing your hardware on a second system may help you. Or have a look if a USB stick instead of IPod gets disconnected too. This may prove that its not IPod related.
Good luck

IComment and "add comment" @ .mac don't work together

Hi guys,
i just used iComment to add trackback code from StatCounter, and did all things in the right way. The statistics worked. But then, the "add comment" function is gone, it disappeared from all pages. I am not using Haloscan to add comments, 'cause I use .Mac as my provider.
Can not these 2 programs work with each other? Any one got idea?

thanks a lot. but how can i get the comments back? "add comment" function is more important than trackback for me. can i just export the whole website to iDisk and then synchronize?

OS X Lion and my Cisco router don't work together. What router can I use that supports OS X Lion?, OS X Lion and my Cisco router don't work together. What router can I use that supports OS X Lion?

I recently upgraded to Lion. I reset my Cisco E3000 wireless router because my iPads kept dropping. Now nothing! My network no longer shows up. I attempted to reinstall but when I inserted the CD it said Cisco Connect does not support my version of OS X. Should I try a new wireless router or get a traditional wired router until a new version of OS X comes out that has fixed this issue?

Contact Cisco tech support. They may have a solution for you or can let you know if the router is fully compatible or not.
As for a replacement consider the Airport Extreme Base Station.

Intel Rapid Start (30 Day Standby) with 32 GB RAM

Recently I bought new W540 with 8 GB RAM. Intel Rapid Start operated normally in this configuration. But when I upgraded RAM to 32 GB it hangs the laptop on second resuming from S4. I've done all the procedures to set it up properly: hibernation partition (35 GB) with id=84, latest drivers and so on.
So first time it goes to S3 (sleep), then S4 (hibernation by Intel Rapid Start) and successfully resumes from S4. Second time it goes to S3 and S4 too, but on resuming I see just black screen and blinking power button. This goes infinitely so I have to power off the laptop pressing power button for about 5-10 seconds. In case "Automatically restart" option is enabled in "Startup and Recovery" options, the laptop is just turns off.
So it is a system failure. When I boot the laptop after the failure, I see something like this in the system event log:
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x000000d1 (0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000002, 0x0000000000000008, 0x0000000000000000). A dump was saved in: D:\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: 080114-229025-01.
I reproduced this behaviour in the factory installation, installed all Windows updates, updated Lenovo Power Manager, updated BIOS firmware, disabled all non-Microsoft services in msconfig, uninstall Lenovo Power Manager and install original Intel Rapid Start software (to test pure Intel technology). I reproduced the bug after every change described above. Next, I try two another RAM configurations: 16 GB and 24 GB. With 16 GB it operates normally, with 24 GB the problem reproduces.
Model: 20BG0035RT
OS: Windows 7 Professional SP1
RAM: Kingston HyperX DDR-III SODIMM 16Gb KIT 2*8Gb PC3-12800 CL9 (KHX16LS9P1K2/16), successfully passed full test by F10

Sorry if this thread is too old, but this keeps bugging me so I'm bumping and responding. I have the same issue with 32GB of RAM where I can resume once after a reboot, then the system won't quite power on on the second resume cycle. I've noticed that if I hibernate the system, I can also use Rapid Start once again. So I can alternate between a (slightly slower) hibernate resume and a (slightly faster) Rapid Start resume Of course, it seems like a pretty silly use of HD space to maintain both a 16gb hiberfil.sys and a 32GB hibernation partition.
The problem doesn't exactly seem like it should be RAM related, but rather something about the system powering up again following a successful IRSRT resume cycle.
I can't figure out what's causing it but it keeps frustrating me! There do seem to be other systems that handle the 32GB of RAM so there must be something with the BIOS implementation in the W series. I don't think it's a limitation of the software.

Intel Rapid Start stops working when RAM upgraded

I have a brand new ENVY dv7-7212nr notebook running Windows 8 64-bit.
This machine has Intel Rapid Storage Technology which caches hard disk data (I think on the 32GB SSD) and Intel Rapid Start Technology which stores active memory in the SSD cache (I think) when the computer enters a hibernation state.
The first thing I did was upgrade the RAM from 8GB to 16GB. It works fine, but then I get an error message "your system does not appear to have intel rapid start technology enabled."
HP provides very little information on this, basically none. I assume the memory is being cached on the SSD, but I don't know how to verify this. Also I notice that acceleration is not enabled under the Rapid Storage Tecnology applet for either drive.
I called tech support twice but the techs knew nothing about upgrading RAM beyond the usual and couldn't get it to work either.
Does anybody even know exactly how the SSD is being used in my system? That would be valuable information to me.
Thanks in advance!
This question was solved.

Thanks for reading my reply.
The "little SSD" is still a drive and not a chip, although you are right that it is little and it is attached to the motherboard. It is little because its form factor is not the typical 2.5 inch size but what's call "mSATA". In fact, the service manual for this dv7-7212nr laptop shows you how you can remove and replace or upgrade this mSATA SSD:
Below is a comparison of how small the mSATA form factor is to other drive sizes (from Left to Right: mSATA, 1.8", 2.5", 3.5"):
So if I want to replace the mSATA 32 GB SSD with a 64 GB SSD, I would have to get a mSATA SSD, not the typical 2.5" ones. So for this dv7-7212nr laptop, there can be 3 total drives installed: one in the mSATA slot and two in the 2.5'' drive bays. However, the default configuration as sold by HP only has one mSATA 32 GB SSD and one 750 GB SATA hard drive, with the remaining drive bay empty.
This dv7-7212nr laptop does contain all the latest (and perhaps more complex) technologies and HP probably does not expect the typical user/consumer to go and muck around all the default settings. However, if one is curious and willing to make the effort to learn, the material is just a google search away.
Here are the instructions for setting up Intel Rapid STORAGE Technology (aka Intel Smart Response Technology): http://download.intel.com/support/chipsets/sb/intel_smart_response_technology_user_guide.pdf
For this dv7-7212nr laptop, you can ignore steps 1-4 because the BIOS is already configured properly from the factory (unless some changes were made by the end user).
Here are the instructions for setting up Intel Rapid Start Technology:
http://download.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/rapid_start_technology_user_guide_v11.pdf
For this particular laptop, ignore steps 1-7 but it is important to do this first: set up Intel Smart Response Technology as above, making sure to allow enough space on the SSD for a hibernation partition that is equal to or greater than the total size of RAM installed. Then follow steps 8 to the end of the guide. It is important to set up Intel Smart Response before Intel Rapid Start because Intel Smart Response will destroy all partitions and data on the disk (if you set up a hibernation partition for Intel Rapid Start first, it will be removed when you set up Intel Smart Response).
I have successfully ENable and DISable these technologies on my laptop using the above guides (with my modifications). WARNING: back up all data before trying any of this.
In your case, I agree that you can also disable Rapid START and just use the whole SSD for acceleration along with the 16 GB RAM upgrade.

How to use Intel Rapid Start technology on my ThinkPad Edge 531 computer?

I have a Thinkpad Edge 531 (model 6885-73G) preloaded with Windows 7 64bit. According to the appropriate user guide (see Thinkpad E531 User Guide - page 108) and chipset specifications Mobile Intel® HM77 Express this ThinkPad model supports Intel Rapid Start Technology with a special partition on the SSD M.2.Such an SSD with the specification M.2 (see MyDigitalSSD Super Cache 2) I bought it and installed successfully on my ThinkPad, which can run a cache software FNet HybriDisk on.
However, even if I proceed exactly according to the installation script by Intel, see (Intel Rapid Start Technology User Guide) or by the installation script by Lenovo community, (see Edge E330 and Intel Rapid Start), I can not put into operation Intel Rapid Start Technology on my ThinkPad, although I use the installed SSD disk with an alone partition of appropriate type (with ID type 84 on MBR) with more allocated space than the size of RAM for my ThinkPad and with the currently deployed version of BIOS (1.29) and current drivers, such is Intel (R) Rapid Storage Technology Driver version 11.1.5.1001 downloaded from the webiste of Lenovo support for this model ThinkPad Edge 531.
Since, in my opinion, based on the above specifications declared by the manufacturer Lenovo and Intel, this ThinkPad model should support Intel Rapid Start Technology, I would like therefore to know how this technology on my ThinkPad to put into operation, because of which I also bought this ThinkPad model. Does exist for this model ThinkPad Edge 531 some specific deployment scenario of Intel Rapid Start Technology? Does anyone have any practical experience with the launch of this technology on those ThinkPad models? Can it be expected that the full support of Intel Rapid Start Technology for the ThinkPad Edge 531 will occur after the release of a new version of the BIOS or a new version of Solid State Drive Firmware Update Utility with support for MyDigitalSSD Super Cache 2 published on the website of Lenovo support?
Thanks in advance for any advice and guidance with the launch of Intel Rapid Start Technology on my ThinkPad Edge 531.

(Re)activate Intel Rapid start technolgy (RST) & RAID @U310

Dear community,
I have been frustrated about this for long time. Got U310 with win8(24GB SSD+500GB HDD).
People says I should set RAID in BIOS. But I got only error and cannot do recovery. So I set back to ACHI mode and system restored. Then error: "Your system does not apear to have Intel Rapid Start technology enabled".
- Yes, I have tried to set BIOS ACHI to RAID, no start.
- SSD 24GB is in device manager, not paritioned.
- intel RAID software installed
- So the point is: I have to activate in BIOS ACHI to RAID, but then Pc will not start.
So whats is the problem?
Now the partitions looks as this:
Could anyone help me, how to reactivate the RAID/ fast caching technolgy of RST?
Another frustration is: how to backup my system(win8) to USB media, so that I could restore factory state?
appreciate any advices, thanks in advance!

Hi, bradlutz1
thanks for your reply! How do you identify it is defective? You have now a RAID enabled U310 or U410?
My SSD HD can be manually partitioned and use as a normal R/W HDD. Just it cannot set to RAID I think, which should be set to before install windows 8. checking into BIOS, the Intel Rapid Storage technolgy (iRST) is enabled. But I still have problem( see screenshot): How does it look like for yours?
On the other side, I use windows 8 recovery programm created a USB drive as recovery media. I want to use it to reset /recovery my PC to factory default with RAID eanbale.
First I set BOIS to RAID. Boot from HDD, but still failed, it says (I think AHCI could go thru):
Seeing from the partition picture in my first post, I think the last 20G partition is Lenovo recovery, but how to backup it and restore?
Very annoying also, the Lenovo program OneKey Recovery program 8.0(for win8) gives no option to create factory DVD/USB media, while its ver. 7 did:

9470m Intel Rapid Start, Intel Rapid Storage. Is it working?

When we image our Elitebook Folio 9470m SSD notebooks with Windows 7, part of the imaging process is to install Intel Rapid Storage and Rapid Start on all these notebooks. We download the drivers from the support.hp.com driver download page for Windows 7 Profession 64-bit.
The software/drivers installs successfully with no errors, but as far as I can tell, the laptops are not booting or shutting down faster than other model laptops with SSDs that do not have this software installed. May even be slower, because it seems like the Rapid Start Technology is hanging and delaying the the shut down process when we shut down the laptops.
We have verbose status messages enabled, so when shutting down the laptops, we often see a message saying something that roughly says in other words "waiting for Intel Rapid Start Technology to shut down."
What is installing this software really accomplishing and is it effective on SSD disks and disks that have full disk encryption installed?
How can I tell if this software is doing the job it is supposed to be doing or maybe we should stop installing it on our notebooks all together?

Are these using regular 2.5 inch SSDs or mSATA mSSDs? I suspect the issue is with Intel Rapid Start. That is solely for the purpose of hibernating and recovering from hibernation faster. It really serves no other purpose and works optimally with an mSATA cache drive (which your model does not have) but does improve resume from sleep on any SSD. Intel Rapid Storage enables native command queing but that is in place anyway if the storage controller is set to ahci. I would also suspect that if your drives are encrypted fully, then Intel Rapid Start is having a problem trying to write startup information to the drive and that accounts for the hang at shutdown. Do you configure the laptops to use hibernation?
I would get two otherwise identical machines and configure one with and one without Intel Rapid Start and see if you notice any difference in bootup and shutdown time. Even on those where you have already installed Rapid Start, it can be turned off in the BIOS, thus disabling it. Personally I do not use hibernation so I do not enable Rapid Start in the BIOS and do not install the software. Rapid Storage should not cause a problem.

Intel Rapid Start on Ideapad Yoga 13

Hi and thanks for reading my message:
i have a problem with the Intel Rapid Start Technology on my Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13:
The IRST is not automatically starting after Boot. The "Intel Rapid Start Technology Service" Service is installed and set to automatic start and it's running without problems but the IRST Manager is still not running (cant's see it in the system tray of the WIndows 8 Desktop Mode). When i run it manually by calling the "Intel Rapid Start Technology Manager" (configuration window pops up), it works fine.
What i try to achieve: because IRST is almost as fast as sleep mode, i would like to use it always instead of sleep mode, so i have set the Timer in the ISRT manager to enable and 0 Minutes. So with the IRST running in the background, it is working to go to IRST Hibernate directly after sleep mode. But when i restart my Yoga, its not working any more
What i tried to do:
Install the IRST 1000 times
Re-Create the hibernate partition (using this manual) (id=D3BFE2DE-3DAF-11DF-BA40-E3A556D89593)
Check ISRT is enabled in BIOS
Do you have any other idea what to do?
Thank you very much for your help and best regards!

Intel Rapid Start Technology does not appear to be installed

How do I get rid of this message?
It's an HP Envy dv7 Notebook, D0X38EA#ABU
I haven't upgraded any part of the hardware - it's configured as it came out of the box. It's running Win 8.1
I have looked through the forum and downloaded manuals and it all gets extremely technical very quickly. So I downloaded a driver from intel and it says "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software".
I am just a simple user. I can guess that the Intel thing will make the computer boot faster. That would be nice but I'm not qualified to start faffing around in the BIOS. Nor do I want to be.
Please just tell me how to make the message go away. It's annoying.

W530: Intel Rapid Start/Smart Response tech/Lenovo Enhanced Experience

I have W530 configured by Lenovo for RAID 0 with two HDDs. I was wanting to install a mSATA SSD. I've seen two Intel Technologies and the LEE 3 (listed in the subject) that you can utilize if you have an mSATA SSD. I want to know if the two Intel techs are actually different programs or just different names for the same thing. In this lenovo thread, they seem to be used synonymously. However, I have found to pdf files that contain different instructions on how to set them up: here and here. The ladder seems like it was intended for a specific motherboard; however, the intel programs downloaded are different in both pdfs. Can anyone shed some light on whether or not these are different technologies, and if so, what the differences are.
Lastly, the Lenovo Enhanced Experience looks like a combination of the Intel programs. It seems that they just slapped there name on Intels programs Anyone know anything on that?
Thinkpad W530, i7-3720QM, 1920x1080 screen, 12GB 1333Mhz RAM, RAID 0 2x 320GB 7200 RPM HDD, Quadro K2000M, 6-cell battery, Bluetooth 4.0, Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205 AGN

Also, I was looking at the tabook.pdf and it shows the W530 uses the Mobile Intel QM77 Express Chipset. The first pdf I posted showed that the Intel Z68 Express Chipset was required for the Intel Rapid Start tech. is the W530 compatiable with either of the Intel Techs?
