4gb Ram problem with P6N 650i. 2gb work fine

I have been researching this problem for 2 days now in my free time, but I havent made any progress.  First off, here is my system
MSI 650i P6N SLI
2gb G. Skill DDR2 800
2gb Patriot DDR2 800
two 250gb HDs
E6300 @ 1.86ghz
8800GTS 512mb
And here is the problem, I have been running the 2gb of G. SKill Ram for quite some time, perfectly fine, then I bought this Patriot, Gaming ram off a friend.  Running all  4gb, the system takes about 10 minutes to boot up, and is extremely slugish from there.  But running either pair of 2gb on its own works perfectly fine...
I think this is a fairly common problem, and I found all kinds of different fixes, but either they didnt work, or didnt apply to me.  I saw something about upgrading to BIOS version 1.24 for the SLI FI board, but that is a completely different MOBO then mine...  I upgraded to 2.60 BIOS, which is the latest, and it didnt help at all.  So if anyone has any ideas, that would be really great!! 
If you need more info too I can give. 
I am fairly computer literate too, but this is a pretty tough fix for me to figure out...
Thanks!!

Hello,
New here finally found someone with my same problem!!!  My signature has my setup, and I still have a problem getting 4GB of memory to work with my setup.  It is 4 x 1GB modules, and if I put any combination in the channels, the 4GB won't work, and any arrangement of 1-3GB works just fine.   The 4th gig gives me a blue screen while Vista is loading, and it's always a different error code.
I got in touch with Patriot's tech support, who said the voltage to the memory should be increased.  I didn't quite buy that, and haven't tried it yet because I wanted to find a better solution.
EVGA's tech support said to update the BIOS.  Based on this thread, that sounds like the fix, however I am having trouble updating the BIOS.  EVGA's instructions are worthless.  I have the most current BIOS version on a CD ready to boot with, but when I try to boot from the CD, nothing happens.  It looks like I need to flash the CMOS first?  I tried a procedure on a website and it didn't work.  When I get to the screen to flash it, the comp is frozen.  Is there a jumper I need to remove?
I would appreciate some help in this matter.  Thanks!

  • Firefox having problem with farmville where safari works fine

    I've been working with Farmville support to no avail. They finally told me to try another browser so I tried Safari and guess what...everything works great! So the problem:
    When I try to give a gift in Farmville certain lists of people do not ever load on my screen. I can provide an attachment of what it looks like in Safari and what it looks like in Firefox. I think it might have used to have worked prior to my installing the firefox beta which I had to remove because it was not compatible with too many of my sites. It is interesting that this functionality works ok usually on farmville.com but not on farmville on facebook.

    Take the plastic protective sheet off the back of the iPhone.
    The plastic is diffusing the flash so that it shines directly back into the lens washing out the picture.
    Also if you have not removed the plastic protective sheet from the front, you want to do that as well, since the front sheet covers the microphone as ear speaker making it difficult to hear.
    All of this happened to my wife :)

    can i use 4gb ram card instead of (2x2) 2gb cards in macbook pro 15" 2.0 ghz

    Hi John,
    If your MBP is a 2011, yes, and here is one example: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/1333DDR3S4GB/
    If your MBP is from 2006, the other year Apple made a 2GHz, the answer is no, as the max RAM is 2GB.
    Given that it appears you already have 2x2GB installed, I'm "guessing" you have the 2011 model, so the answer is yes.

    Battery not charging with usb port but works fine with wall plug.. So the prob is computer is not detecting the iphone5 . This problem started after upgrading to 6.1.3 version

    Try to see what happens on another computer. If it works on another computer, the issue is not at the iPhone.

    Hi,
    Any one have this issue?
    HP ProBook 5220m (Bios Version F50) Fan not working with battery power but work fine with adapter plugged in.
    This issue was found in my replacement motherboard. the original mother do not have this issue.
    The origianl mother to be replace is due to can't power on after a power failure recovery. I believe was due to power surge killed the motherboard's power controller circuitry.
    Appreciate any one can provide clue for resolving the problem.
    I have tried to install speedfan to try my luck, but it can't any fan in the application to configure. (Bios Version F50)

  • HT201250 My 10.7.3 Time Machine won't work with external disks. Worked fine with Snow Leopard, and even Lion 10.7.1

    My 10.7.3 Time Machine won't work with external disks. Worked fine with Snow Leopard, and even Lion 10.7.1
    I have tried everything, even buy new external disk from different manufacture.
    If I cant get a fix soon, I am downgrading back to SnowL.

    Still no luck. I tried all the tricks, reconfiguring TM (remove selected disk option, and re-setting it, and trying different disks). Tried new combo updater, and the newer TM update after that. Tired two different disks too (one is my older firewire WD MyBook 1TB, and my brand new 3tb Seagate GoFlex USB... either one plugged into back of computer - no intermediary devices). I did get the TM buddy wiget and it produced the following log, from the last attempt, where I setup lots of exclusions so that backup quantity was small (under 10gb). Still it failed to complete. Here is that log, for what it is worth:
    Starting standard backup
    Backing up to: /Volumes/TM-Disk/Backups.backupdb
    9.56 GB required (including padding), 911.15 GB available
    Waiting for index to be ready (101)
    Copied 0 files (0 bytes) from volume Mac HD.
    Backup canceled.
    To prove a point, I will take these disks are run them on my other Tiger and Snow Leopard laptops to prove TM works fine on those with these disks. But I fear the only options are to either have my tech re-install LION... or just have him reinstall SL instead. Im at wits end.

  • New RAM problems with my Dual G4 1.25 MDD

    Howdy I've had my Dual G4 1.25 MDD for 2 years and love it. I got it with 1GB RAM, thinking I was set. For Christmas I wanted to Upgrade the RAM to 2GB. from My PowerMac G4 Manual I knew I needed 2x 512MB PC2700 DDR333 CL2.5 SDRAM DIMM's.
    I went to DealRam (part of DealMac) and found 18004memory.com The price seemed great $39 per stick. I ordered it and within a week got 2x 512MB DIMM's. Problem was it was the Wrong RAM spec. I tried that RAM in my Mac 30 different ways and Everytime the computer either wouldn't boot, or it would suffer Kernel Protection Faults. One time it did boot up but the RAM only recognized as 2x 256MB DIMM's. I called the company, got an RMA and returned the RAM, this time they sent me 2 replacement DIMM's.... for a POWERBOOK, SO-DIMM's. I returned it again and finally Got from them the
    2x 512MB PC2700 DDR333 CL2.5 SDRAM DIMM's. They call it Hyperspeed RAM. Anywho, I powered down let the system cool over night and in the morning, popped it open, put the RAM in the 2 open slots DIMM2/J23 & DIMM3/J20. closed it back up and powered up. Everything was snappier, the boot was quicker and I checked About this Mac, it says 2GB. Apple System Profiler showed all 4 DIMM's and I thought everything was fine.
    Computer ran great for hours, no issues. Everything seemed quicker. Computer went to sleep overnight, next day woke from sleep and Tried to use iTunes and during an extensive sort for Songs, the system Locked up. Nothing would work. Had to force restart. this time I tried to Run my favorite online Game, WoW and after it loaded and I started to play, within 5 mins the whole game locked up. The audio sound went into a sort of Loop, I couldnt force quit and had to force reboot. This happened several times. I finally decided to Run the Apple Hardware Test. The Quick test locked up after running 2mins. I let it sit for 1hr just in case it was still doing something and the progress bar and time never progressed. So i forced reboot, ran Test again this time as Extended test. at 8 min & 31 sec the test stopped and I got an Error Code, this time I wrote it down "2MEM/2/4: DIMM3/J20."
    I guess that DIMM failed. I shutdown, popped open case, and removed DIMM3/J20 leaving the Original 1GB RAM and One of the 512MB Upgrades. I rstarted the Test again and Ran the Extended Test once more. It ran for 27mins & 24 secs and everything passed. So. 1.5GB is better than just 1GB. I powered down and powered back up to try and play WoW. Within 5 mins of loading game to play, everything locked up again.
    So I took both of the new RAM out and left the Original 1GB RAM and ran Test everything was great no Errors. Rebooted, and went onto WoW again and was able to play for several hours. I quit game and shut down for night.
    I have since Tried the 2x 512MB DIMM's in over 10 different variations in the computer with and without the original RAM and everytime I run a high end program or game (WoW, iTunes, and Photoshop), I get lock ups, crashes, and other screen weirdness.
    I dont want to have to Return the Memory again. I am already out over $15 from s/h with RMA's.
    PLEASE Any ideas what to do?
    1 thing I noticed the RAM gets very very hot, when I've powered down tand removed the new RAM. I wonder if there is a cooling issue?
    Anytime I put the Original 1GB RAM in, I dont have problems!

    Hi lz3broc,
    Sounds very much like faulty RAM to me, I'm afraid. I'm not sure about the temperature it's running at, but if the surrounding DIMMs aren't having a problem then I would definitely point the finger at those new memory sticks not being up to scratch.
    If you were convinced it was temperature related then you could always try putting heat spreaders on the memory to help with cooling, but as these stick (semi-permanently) to the RAM then you would never be able to return them.
    My personal opinion is that you should send the RAM back and buy two new DIMMs from Crucial Technology. I only ever buy RAM made by them and I've never had a problem with it - it's the same stuff Apple themselves generally use and works a charm every time. Probably not the news you wanted to hear, but that's probably the only way you're going to get a stable machine with 2GB RAM.
    Hope that helps,
    Andy.

  • Does the MacBook Pro Intel Core 2 duo (2,4ghz - 4gb RAM) match with an audio dj mixer Pioneer DDJ SR

    I bought a Audi DJ mixer  Pioneer DDJ SR and i want to know if it matches with a Macbook pro core 2 Duo, 2,4 GHZ, 4gb RAM, 250gb DDR?
    If not, then can i make it match by adding 4gb RAM or changind DDR to SSD, or others?
    Thanks for your help.
    (I am french and my English is not so good, so please let me know if my question is not clear)

    Hi Rick,
    Given that the MBP has a 4200RPM HD in it now, any 5400 or 7200 is likely to yield a significant speed increase during operations requiring HD access.
    If it is a 15" MBP, make sure you get a 9.5mm high, 2.5 inch SATA HD. If it's a 17", a 12.5mm high HD will fit.
    I don't believe any brand of current HDs is significantly better/worse than the others. That said, I think Seagate is at a low ebb of quality right now. I think Hitachi is at the top. WD blacks seem to be consistently reliable. Without question, others will have different opinions (it's like asking if a Toyota or Ford or Honda, etc. is best). I really like the idea of Seagate's hybrid drive, but there is a real mixed bag of reviews on it. It's first gen, and there are issues to be worked out/improved upon. Check out newegg for 200+ user reviews.
    AFA 5400 vs 7200, all other things being equal (rarely the case) the faster drive is likely to give better response, but don't expect night and day difference. All other things being equal, it's also likely to run hotter, reduce run time on battery, and increase vibration. There's also a bit of a cost premium.
    Whichever you end up with, remember to backup, backup, and backup (I highly recommend a clone and Time Machine).
    The odds are you/she will be happier with any of the 5400s or 7200s over the current 4200, and a new drive should easily help you/her get another year or more out of the MBP. Good luck with the decision.

  • Ram Problem With KT3 Ultra

    Hi Guys,
    I have posted on here before.
    I have a kt3 ultra mobo.
    The problem i have is when playing games the system locks up and i have to hard restart.
    I have followed advice from this board the the faq ant mobo bios set up which sadly has not solved the problem.
    Very strange but in the pc i have two x 256 meg ddr ram.
    If i take either stick out the pc plays games perfectly. This is frustrating as both sticks work fine on their own but not together.
    ANY IDEAS ? ;(

    Hi,
    Sometimes it happens that sticks just won't work together....
    You might want to swap one of the sticks with a friend to see if the problem is gone...

  • RAM and Virtual RAM Problems with Fireworks

    I'm working on a Fireworks file with 25 pages and some heavy graphics. However, I've turned some of the heavy objects into symbols which are repeated from page to page.
    The file is 17 Mb and my Virtual Memory bumps to 3.4 Gigs when I open this file and things are slow and often crash. I'm working on a Mac with CS4 and have 4 Gigs of RAM. The actual ram is 2.27 GB. Seems like a crap ton of Ram? Plus it's running slow and crashes regularly.
    Please advise if there are settings I can change to improve the performance.

    I have this same problem.
    We design websites like shops and stuff. We'll need to work out all the pages and show them to our clients.
    I have just finished a site with 45 pages. I have to cut this up in 3 different files. Highly annoying. And working on a windows system to so you get my irritations.
    I get the feeling that this is a result of the buggy-ness in Fireworks. The contact with the Adobe help-team is dramatic. I don't understand that you sell a product this expensive and not give a good service afterwhile.
    I must say that i don't have any problems with the other programs. Only Fireworks. The rest is very good (to end with someting nice)

    I have been having lots of problems with Windows XP just locking up on me.  It has happened 3 times now, and I am tiring of re-building my PC from scratch.  Every time, it works for a while, and then, just locks up one day.
    At this point, I've removed my partition, rebuilt it, reformatted and re-installed windows.  I'm currently running the AMI v1.3 bios.  I've loaded the latest nVidia drivers (9.53 driver package).  I've loaded the latest graphic drivers from EVGA (169.02_XP32).
    I've read lots of posts in various forums about issues with SATA settings on nVidia systems, but I can't seem to find a post that is clear about the best settings.  They mentioned disabling command queuing, using/not using SiL drivers, etc.  Can anyone offer any insight that might help me straighten out my system?  I am close to tossing it out a window.
