3000 J115 7387 - Current BIOS 2NKT31A doesn't support 4gb RAM

I have a Lenovo 3000 Desktop J115 7387-26u and the current BIOS, just downloaded and tested from Lenovo's "support" site, doesn't support 4gb of RAM properly.  I have dual 2gb DIMMs, for a total of 4gb, and both Lenovo's PC-Doctor diagnostics and another memory scanner report to me that I have 4gb.  See this screen print showing PC-Doctor's RAM report compared to what Windows "sees".  
When I boot the system, the BIOS only reports 3006mb RAM is present.  Clearly it's recognizing both DIMMs.  I've swapped the DIMMs and the results are the same.
Lenovo, PLEASE RELEASE A BIOS that properly supports what the system claims to support!

Two things.  First, "just so you know", the Lenovo 3000 J115 7987 is an Athlon 64 X2 (which you would know if you checked the system specs),and second, I'm talking about the BIOS failing to recognize the RAM that the system specs claim it should be recognizing.  This is regardless of OS.

  • Unable to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit on Lenovo 3000 J115 7387-26U

    Hi Everyone,
    I am unable to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit on my Lenovo desktop. Model : 3000 J115 7387-26U.
    When I try to boot my DVD, the systems makes a loud whirring noise.. as if trying to read from DVD, the screen goes blank couple of times and then Windows XP starts up (from my HDD).
    I have a Windows 7 32 bit DVD and it successfully started up and I could see the install screen (though I didn't install it. I want to install 64 bit version of the software).
    Anyone else seen this problem? Is there some workaround available?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi:
    The Intel link you posted doesn't work, so I don't know what you have tried.
    See if this works...
    Download the drivers from this link below (first file listed -- 64 bit).
    https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?​agr=Y&ProdId=2101&DwnldID=23060&keyword=Intel+Rap...
    Extract (copy) the files onto a usb flash drive without any folders.
    With the flash drive and W7 installation media plugged into the machine, boot from the W7 installation media.
    After you select the install now option, select the Drive Options - Advanced menu, then select the Load Driver option.
    You should now see the storage driver files listed.
    If you check the box, it will only include the compatible driver.
    Follow the prompts and hopefully, W7 will install.

  • Blue screen after upgrades - 3000 J115 7387-A32

    I recently upgraded the graphics card and memory on my Lenovo 3000 J115 7387-A32.  After the memory upgrade I noticed that when the computer booted it would 1) go to the blue screen, 2) automatically reboot, 3) boot normally to windows vista. 
    I upgraded the Graphics Card from an onboard Nvidia 6100 to an Nvidia 8500 GT pci expressI completed this upgrade a couple days prior to the memory upgrade and noticed no issues when booting the computer.
    I upgraded from 1 gig (2 x 512 mb) of memory to 4 gigs (2 x 2g) ddr2I did notice that the bios system summary notes the memory as 2.5g while the vista - control panel - system notes 4g, but based on the other posts that seems to be a 32-bit OS limitation and should not be causing the blue screen.
     After the computer boots normally, it acknowledges that it did not boot properly and offers to find a solution.  It notes that the problem is due to the NVIDIA nforce serial ATA driver (which as far as I can tell is not related to either graphics card?) and takes me to the NVIDIA site.  I scan my system for both graphics and motherboard, and the results of both scans are that I have the most up to date drivers available.
    I did update my bios through this process.
    It does eventually boot up and seems to be working fine, but the blue screen shouldn't occur and I would like to prevent it if I can.  I would appreciate any help on this issue.

    what are you specs cause i also had some bluie screen errors b4 ( didnt upgrade anything at that point)..and btw i am also looking for an upgrade on a graphics card...i found couple but i have no clue how much my lenovo 7387 can handle (in terms of power supply) can you please help me out here...

  • K8 T Neo Does Not Support Acpi 2 With Current Bios.. No Chance Of Cool N Quiet

    Hi guyz
    If you read the Readme that comes with the Athlon64 driver from AMD, let me quote: "This driver supports processor performance control via the processor objects defined in the ACPI 2.0 specification."
    Well check ACPI verstion in Sandra, the current BIOS and board only support verstion 1.. no wonder the CPU is not speed stepping as it should with CoolNQuiet.
    Any one here ever see there CPU speed step? If so give us all the specs and details.
    Hope MSI will fix this, I don't get it.. they have a page http://www.msi.com.tw/html/e_service/techexpress/tech_column/6702/page11.htm where they show how to enable it.
    BTW don't try to tell me I have a CPU that doesn't support it cause I do.. checked today, gt an AO ending on the model string and that one supports CoolNQUiet.

  • Lenovo 3000 J115 Memory/RAM Problem

    Hi everyone. According to the Lenovo website, the Lenovo 3000 J115 machine type 7387 is capable of 4GB of RAM. It has two DIMM slots and supports single or dual channel DDR2 memory. I really wanted to run with 4GB of RAM and it was a deciding factor when I bought the machine.
    I purchased two 2GB DDR2 memory sticks, put them in the machine, and the BIOS only shows 2.5GB. The machine runs fine like this, its just not using the memory.  There doesnt seem to be anything in the BIOS to help me out with this. I saw some other people had similar issues with other manufacturers machines, but they only needed to enable something called Memory Remapping in the BIOS to fix the problem. There isnt this feature in my BIOS. I installed the latest BIOS hoping that it would help, but it didnt. I also tried a 2GB and a 1GB memory stick just to see what happens and it still shows 2.5GB even with 3GB of RAM installed.
    Does anyone know how to get this machine to recognize 4GB of RAM, or even 3GB of RAM. I called support and at first they were trying to tell me it was a problem with Windows XP. Hmmm....I already told them I was running Windows Vista Home Premium. Which wouldnt matter anyway. If the BIOS doesnt see the memory, the OS wouldnt have anything to do with that. So how anyone could think it could be a problem with the OS is beyond me and flat out wrong. After explaining this and getting the team lead on the phone, they sent me out a new motherboard even though I was quite certain that wouldnt fix the problem, which it didnt. And now they are trying to tell me that it wont support 4GB of RAM after they cant think of anything else. The website says it does and that is why I bought the machine and the new memory, both of which I cannot return for a full refund.
    Is there anyone else out there that ran into this? Anyone that has more than 2.5GB in their Lenovo 3000 J115? If yes, did you need to do anything special or did it just work.

    The 3GB vs 4 GB limitation is actually a x86 issue, not operating system. A 32-bit system can only address 32 bits (4,096). There are a number of articles concerning this - Google 3GB vs 4 GB ram. Here is a link: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000811.h​tml
    The issue is basically a 32 Bit system can only address 4,096 of memory adressing. However in simple layman terms, the system must address all items on the bus like sound card, video, bios, pci bus, etc. (and the addressing of these items is like using memory).
    Anyone familar with the old dos days remembers the software and memory managers we used to move the video, bios, etc above the 1 GB limitation, that way we had 640 KB Memory available for the applications.
    Now several years later, we have hit the limit again, the 32-bit architectural now puts the addressing of items above the 3 GB level, leaving the lower 3 GB for memory use. So if 4 MB is installed, the 32-bit system addresses the computer components, then allocates what is left in the addressing range to the memory, thus why some systems with 4 GB do actually get 3.5 GB.
    So on systems with 4 GB, with large memory video card and several other addressable items, it is percievable to only be able to use 3 GB. In fact, the recommendation with 32 Bit systems is to install 3 GB memory.
    However, I do not know why the system wont recognize the installation in 3 GB mode only (have you installed only 3 GB total and see what it does?) My K100 system has 3 GB ram, (3) 1 GB sticks in 3 of the 4 memory slots. The system does recognize all 3 GB.
    In fact, this addresses the reason Lenovo only put 3 GB in my system (I thought 3 GB was weird), because 4 GB would not all be addressed and the additional ram would be a waste of money.
    Additional comments from users indicates that applications typically can only use the lower 2 GB anyway, thus leaving the last 1 GB for the OS (Vista). Unless you have applications that can use more Ram, the difficulty in getting the system to address the Ram differently wont gain you much.
    And even a 64 Bit OS may not fix the issue, because some chipsets are only 32 Bit, thus addressing the components in the same method, which maybe why your system only see 2.5 GB at the bios level.
    How much video memory you have? What do you have the allocation to the video memory set at in the bios?

  • 3000 j115 A11 stopped working after installing new graphics card

    I thought i would be slick and install a new graphics card (asus GEForce 8500GT) after i put it in my 3000 j115 A11 everything stopped working. I can turn the tower on and it gives two beeps. Nothing displays on the monitor (it doesn't leave powersaving mode). It is also very quiet like it is not even trying to work. Did I just destroy my computer? Is there anything I can do?
    PS. I did take the asus card back out, so I'm not that lucky
    PSS. Got back to being able to boot but now I can't get back into bios to switch from PCI back to original built in card. If I try it just hangs after pressing enter to interupt normal setup

    I find this thread very interesting. I am assuming this system (3000 j115 A11) is the same as one I mentioned in a post from June 12 (7387A11... Graphics upgradeable?).... and is still hanging out there. Perhaps if Lenovo, or anybody else for that matter, could/would provide SPECIFIC upgrade instructions we could all be enlightened. (In my case I do not own a Lenovo computer but I am hoping to help my sister-in-law with her Lenovo and don't look forward to a major meltdown if the systems are not capable of this, otherwise, simple upgrade.)
    Niether of the 2 previous posters mentioned if they upgraded the PS in thier respective systems prior to the graphics card installation (although ala17 "recently" did.). One had issues and the other didn't. If that should be the first step toward the upgrade, it would be helpful to know beforehand.
    Thanks and good luck. Post back if you get to the bottom of it.

  • I am trying to hook up my Airport Express to my current network and AirPort Extreme but keep getting the same error message: "This version of AirPort Utility doesn't support this base station. Go to AirPort Service and Support for more information."

    I am trying to hook up my Airport Express to my current network and AirPort Extreme but keep getting the same error message: "This version of AirPort Utility doesn’t support this base station. Go to AirPort Service and Support for more information." Any thoughts?

    This sounds as if you have an older AirPort Express that is no longer supported by the newer Mavericks operating system.
    To check and see if  that might be the case, locate the model number on the side of the AirPort Express. It will start with an "A" followed by four numbers. Hard to see in the faint print.....so you may need reading glasses or a magnifying class to see the model number clearly.
    Model numbers A1084 and A1088 of the AirPort Express are no longer supported by AirPort Utility in Mavericks.
    You will need to use a Mac running Leopard, Snow Leopard, or a PC to be able to administer the older AirPort Express.

    To be completely honest, FCPX is a RAM hog. It just is. But, RAM is relatively cheap, and the pay-off is good.
    4GB is right on the edge, IMHO. 16G is ideal.

  • Tecra A10 - BIOS updater doesn't work on Windows 7

    Upgrading BIOS for TECRA A10/M10 and Satellite Pro S300/S300M to version v1.90 using P0065v190.exe (bios-20090304141534) fails with message:
    "[Error] BIOS Update is not supported OS. Unsupported OS or service pack is installed."
    Note: Executing as an Administrator returns the same error.
    Probably Windows 7 is not supported but, it must be an explicit protection since the Vista version should work in 7. There's any updater parameter to skip this protection?

    BIOS update is designed and tested for certain OS. Win7 is not on the market and at the moment Toshiba offers tested BIOS updated for Vista only.
    Sorry but what else to say. You probably know how sensible BIOS update is and how dangerous it can be. So don't play with this and don't make not-tested experiments with this stuff.
    In few months Win7 will be on the market and Toshiba will start official support. You can wait few more weeks isnt it?

  • Lenovo J115 7387 9HU memory upgrade to 4 GB fails

    I've been running Linux Etch amd64 with 512 MB stock RAM for a while without any problems. 512 MB is just not enough RAM for what I'm doing, so after upgrading to an additional 2 GB RAM (identical spec'd RAM 5300U-555 667 Mhz) along with the stock 512 MB, my system became randomly unstable with disk corruption and other weirdness such as running apps suddenly exiting. Switching back to the 512 MB solved the problem. Switching to just the 2GB RAM causes the problem to reappear so it's not a combination problem. I tried another 2GB RAM chip with the same results, and I ran an overnight memtest that reported no memory problems. I also checked the HD and it's fine - this is clearly a memory problem.
    I checked for a BIOS update and indeed there is one that specifically addresses a 2GB RAM issue, so I installed the BIOS update without any trouble.
    After the BIOS update my system no longer has disk corruption problems (that's at least an improvement), but instead it reports "bad page state in process" errors and it will sometimes get a kernel crash.
    In addition to the instability problem, if I put in 4 GB RAM (supposedly the maximum supported limit for this machine), the BIOS only displays 3006 MB of RAM, yet the OS (which is 64-bit) does display all 4 GB of RAM and reports that it is making use of the full 4GB of RAM (I load up a whole bunch of things that will take up the full amount before swapping to disk).
    I tried 2 x 512 MB RAM giving me 1GB of RAM and it all works perfectly, so it seems that there's still a 2GB memory problem and the BIOS update only improved the situation but did not fully solve it as was claimed.
    Well to say the least I'm not at all impressed
    The BIOS has no tweaking options to try out, so it looks like I'm stuck unless Lenovo addresses the problem with another BIOS update, but that seems unlikely for this machine.
    Does anyone know of a solution to this problem, or should I just trash the MB and buy something else? Any recommendations as to what mobo will fit into the existing case?

    An update:
    My system seems to be working OK with the 4GB RAM upgrade for a few days now since the BIOS upgrade. The BIOS still does not report the correct amount of RAM, but this does not seem to matter and my OS appears to be making use of all of it. The page errors may have been due to an unrelated problem (software not hardware). If I have any further problems with this machine I'll post in here.

  • X220 BIOS/Firmware - does it support "Secure Boot" under Windows 8?

    I am getting ready to install W8x64 Pro.  I have a X220 with the latest BIOS (1.36 if I recall correctly) using Windows 7x64 currently.  I have run the Upgrade Assistant and it says: "Secure Boot isn't compatible with your PC."  "Your firmware doesn't support Secure Boot so you won't be able to use it in Windows 8."
    Assuming when I install W8x64 bit I have "Boot to UEFI First" and "UEFI BIOS Only" set in the BIOS - and the SSD formatted as a GPT SSD - should Secure Boot work?
    The 1.36 BIOS is not listed as Windows 8 compatible.  I see there is a BIOS for the X230 that is W8 compatible but I am not going to install it.
    At any rate - for any of you X220 users - you can click on "System Information" in W8 or type in "msinfo32" in the run script and it will say whether "Secure Boot" is Unsupported or On.
    Here is a Lenovo link for installing W7 using UEFI but it does not mention whether you would be able to be in "Secure Mode" at the end.

    Latest firmware is supposed to support Windows 8. But I don't know what support is supposed to mean... I'd say that if you've installed under UEFI and still doesn't enable, it doesn't.
    Thou now that I think of... After I installed using UEFI, I had to go back to the BIOS and change some setting. Reset-some-key or something. I can't restart the computer now but whenever I restart it I'll let you know which setting it was. (it can be several days)
    Good luck.
    If I helped you, please give me some kudos! ^^

    Thanks.
    I installed the 0.15RC1 version of the Orinoco drivers found here.
    I rebooted but I still had the 0.13 version. I did a make and make install as the readme file said.
    What do I have to do to update the driver?
    do you use a PKGBUILD?
    update the driver: if it was copied to the right place and the kernel knows about it (depmod -a) it should work
    for a start, check under
    ls -la /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/
    that your module is installed under the correct location (the orinoco files should be newer than the other ones)
    if this is so, make sure you are depmod -a (as root) ... and if even this is ok, then either you are running the new modules or something strange happened
