Bios settings, memory and random freezing

Hi all
I have a new pc setup. Problem is that it keeps freezing at random times, either playing a game or listening to music and sometimes just when I surf the net. It has even frozen IN THE BIOS!! before needing a restart!
I think that its something to do with the memory settings in the bios, any ideas on what the bios settings should be?? all components are brand new.
MSI kt6v-lsr
AMD Athlon XP 1700
512mb PC400 DDR Ram
Leadtech GeForce FX5200 128mb
1 X Maxtor 82gb SATA drive (booting from)
2 IDE CD drives attached.
500w PSU
Currently i have FSB set to 133 as any higher than that and the system wont start, the rest is set to auto.
Any help much appreciated!! CHeers!

A nice description about SPD, its used to automatically detect your ram timings.
http://www.extremeoverclocking.com/reviews/memory/Crucial_PC3200_4.html
Now PC3200 is new but some manufacturers have PC4000 ram (500mhz)
So the technology side should be ok.
The problem lies with Unbranded and cheap memory modules.
The novatech ram is unbranded and cheap .
You should have gone for a make like Kingston, the HyperX series are very good.
I would recommend the HyperX PC2700 that I am using, it is capable of running at 434Mhz so if oneday you upgrade to an XP3200+ CPU (200Mhz FSB) you can set the ram to 400Mhz and it is guaranteed to work.

Z87-GD65 + i7-4790K + BIOS 1.B and reset freeze

Hello,
after looking for a few days for a solution to my problem which is reset freeze this is my last resort.
Recently upgraded CPU from 4770K to 4790K on MSI Z87-GD65 and I'm getting reset freeze.
Screen goes black (no signal), fans are spinning and system stays in this state.
People say to update BIOS to 1.B (1.11) which is latest one but this did not solve the problem.
After restoring default settings in BIOS system reset correctly once and then it hangs again.
It doesn't matter if the reset is from windows or linux of from BIOS after saving changes.
I was flashing BIOS from BIOS menu using M-FLASH and pendrive.
Any suggestion are appreciated.

Thx for reply, my rig now is

It worked fine on previous CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-4770K Processor (8M Cache, up to 3.90 GHz)
and I can't test it anymore because I sold it.
Clearing CMOS didnt help.
CPU is seated correctly I made sure of that and pins are straight, I'm very careful with that.

Unresponsive and random freezing macbook pro mid 2012

So the last couple of weeks i am getting the wheel of fortune freeze.
The macbook for a number of seconds stops responding, etc
Its not all of the time, i might get a couple of hours of use without issues and/or
this constant annoyance !
Also trying to watch a movie in vcl can get frustrating with a similar behaviour.
One thing i noticed, but i am not sure,
when streaming video material from an external drive i didn't get any issues,
so i suspect the drive..
After watching the activity monitor (not processor or memory stress happening)
and the console window i got nowere browsing the issues.
I did a new internet restore (erasing the drive first)
But the issue continues.
So, what should i do next ????
i am attaching the etrecheeck and some log intros

This is not due to any kind of malware. Neither is Safari opening an SQLite database a concern... Webkit has direct support for SQLite.
Since the problem persisted across a clean reinstall, it has to be a hardware issue. Note that Apple Hardware Test results can only be relied on if they are positive - ie, if a hardware problem is detected, you can be sure that hardware problem exists. On the other hand, if nothing is found, that really doesn't mean much. It just means that of the things Apple Hardware Test is capable of checking for, none are failing in a way that Apple Hardware Test can detect, and it tells you nothing at all about the things it's not capable of checking.
If I had to guess, I'd say it's likely your hard drive is dying. However, that's just a guess. You should have an Apple tech take a look for you.

10.8.1 kernel panics and random freezing

I have a new 13" 2012 MacBook Air, approx. 8 weeks old. It shipped with Lion installed, and everything was great.
I upgraded to 10.8.0 when it was released, and things were still great (except I did experience the Thunderbolt audio issue that ended up being one of the fixes in 10.8.1)
Last Friday night (1 week ago), I upgrade to 10.8.1. I was happy to find that my Thunderbolt audio issue appeared to be fixed, as expected.
However, this is when things started to go downhill.   I have now have two issues, which may or may not be related to each other:
Firstly, in the past week, I have had a significant number of kernel panics (i.e. more than 5). An example is included below.
Before the 10.8.1 upgrade, I can't recall a single kernel panic. In all instances, the panic appears to be related to coreaudiod (specifically, something to do with com.apple.iokit.IOAudioFamily). From what I understand, the error is caused when trying to read from an invalid memory address (ie. type 14=page fault; and "Error code: 0x0000000000000000" indicates a read operation).   That's the first problem, and it's pretty annoying as you can imagine.
Secondly, I'm also experiencing similar symptoms as described in this thread (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4159444); where the mouse pointer can be moved around, but the keyboard and touchpad don't respond to any input, and I'm unable to do things like switch between apps or force quit apps.
Interestingly, if I click on my user name in the menu bar and select Login window…; I can login as a different user and everything is working fine for that other user session. Then if I switch back to my original user session, the keyboard & trackpad are still unresponsive and the problem persists.   So, it would seem that it is not a system-wide kernel issue (such as a bad driver), otherwise you would expect it to affect all logged on users equally, no?
(Also interesting: the problem has been experienced at least once in that other user's account too, suggesting that it's not simply a bad preference or setting in my account)
Being a fairly new machine, I don't have that many 3rd party apps installed yet. Typically I'm only running Chrome, TweetDeck, Evernote, Mail.app, and Calendar.app. In the menu bar I also have Dropbox, Google Drive, Skitch and Stay (http://cordlessdog.com/stay/) running.
I'm hesitant to jump to "it must be a hardware issue", given that everything was fine for 7 weeks; and the problems only started after upgrading to 10.8.1.    However, I'm surprised that if it is a 10.8.1 issue, that more people aren't reporting similar kernel panics etc. (maybe they are, and I just haven't found them). I did run AHT, but it found no problems. I have also run the Disk Utility Repair Permissions, as some people with the keyboard issue described above have suggested, but to no avail.
Finally, I'm also running a similar software combination on my 17" MBP at work (10.8.1, Chrome, TweetDeck, Evernote, Stay etc…); and I'm having none of these problems there.
I would appreciate any pointers that anybody can offer.

That panic was not caused by third-party software. If it's recurrent, the possibilities are (1) a damaged OS X installation; (2) a hardware fault, which could be internal or in a wired peripheral device; and (3) an obscure bug in OS X.
You can rule out the first possibility by reinstalling the OS. Probably there will be no change. In that case, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. You may have to leave it there for several days. There isn't much point in doing this unless you can reproduce the panic, or unless it happens often enough that it's likely to be repeated at the store. Otherwise you may be told that nothing is wrong.
Print the first page of the panic report and bring it with you.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone.

Laptop randomly wont boot and randomly freezes. (w/ pics)

I am having some serious problems with my Mid-2007 flavor Macbook Pro. It started after I had not charged or used it for about a month while on winter break from school. I got back and let the battery charge fully before I tried to turn it on. I turned it on and was greeted by this scary looking screen.
http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/3213/dsc0001uc7.jpg
It originally would also give me problems trying to boot windows as well.
http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/1606/dsc0008nx8.jpg
But would eventually allow me to consistently boot windows and sporadically boot OSX. Windows seems to run pretty smoothly but OSX will run for up to an hour or two (usually less) before doing something like this:
http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/2329/dsc0002gw1.jpg
I have more success booting in single-user mode but that screen sometimes looks like this:
http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/9997/dsc0007aw2.jpg
I am guessing it is some sort of hardware problem and I am planning on being a very poor person soon, but would a Leopard reinstall serve me any good? Tried to document the weird screens I have been getting as best as I could, but if you need additional pictures, my computer has been freezing enough to get many more so just ask. Thanks for any help.

1. Mid-2007 flavor does not tell anyone the model. Indicating the GHz does. In any case:

Distorted Visuals and Random Freezes and Shutdowns

After installing 2GB of Corsair RAM, I started having problems. After I've been on my computer for a couple hours or during intense projects (iMovie or sometimes just multiple programs running) if I run Expose my system freezes and then I have to restart. Other times it just automatically restarts. Then there's times where my screen will be digitally distorted (words on the screen are messed up or overlapping words and lines, etc.)
I've taken my MacBook to the Apple Store and they've tested the RAM and it seems fine. I'm not sure if it's the RAM or I just need to wipe my hard drive and reinstall mac os x. Any suggestions or thoughts?

Can you take out the new RAM and replace it with the original RAM? Then you could try things for a while to see if it's any better.

Without main battery, CMOS checksum invalid.Doesn't keep time and BIOS settings. Backup batt is OK.

Good morning all,some months ago my dv6-6159sl laptop started to have this problem: WITHOUT MAIN BATTERY (using as desktop replacement with AC adapter only, unplugging from wall outlet when I don't use it) immediatly after power on button pressed, I get black screen error" CMOS Checksum is invalid . CMOS reset (502) . " and it restarts with all BIOS settings reset and time reset at 00:00:00 year 2010... The problem appears randomly: for days I don't get it, then I get it once, twice...then everything OK for one, two, many days...and again shows up...and so on... NOTE THAT BACKUP BATTERY CR2032 HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE (for being sure) AND IS BRAND NEW, AND IS OK: A VOLTMETER SAYS 3,03 V . Tried to update BIOS to last F1.B , tried to revert back to F1.A and previous version (that is: I tried every single available BIOS on support page...)... No luck...Tried to recover BIOS with this procedure: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04126730 ... nothing changed...Tried to recover whole system...Nothing fixed... Notes: hardware hasn't changed , HDD and RAM are OK (tests done). What to do now? Call for repair? Thanks.

Premiere CS5 consuming all memory and freezing up

I spent a couple of days farming around 2000 images into a Premiere project on a Mac Pro, Premiere CS 5.0.0 and when I opened it this morning I could see from Activity Monitor that it very quickly consumed 12gb of memory, leaving a figure between 17-24Mb handling the system, therefore freezing the entire system and unable to do anything other than watch the beachball or Force Quit Premiere. I'd only pulled a handful of images into the timeline, so it wasn't a heavy project. Just linked to a lot of hi-res files. But why would they eat up all the RAM when I wasn't accessing or using them, they were just sat there in the project window. I have plenty disk space for scratch and running Mac OS 10.7.1.
I've had to just bail on Premiere and take it over to Final Cut, but still curious to know why this happened and if I might be able to return the project to Premiere at some stage? I've since ran the 5.0.4 update in the background and it still eats up the memory and still freezes up, even crashing the first time I opened it after update.
Any ideas?

My experience using stills with FCP7 is far worse than with Pr. Crash City. Very painful. Esp. with JPEGs.
I've seen issues with stills that are very large, scaled down in a sequence. From what you describe, it sounds like the stills are being loaded into RAM, leaving nothing for other operations. If this is so, you could try scaling down your images, perhaps by automating the process in Photoshop.
I don't know if it's normal to load images in the project (and not in a sequence) into RAM. That doesn't seem right. Another cause for the beachball could be corrupt source images. You could determine this by adding a few stills at a time, and waiting for the axe to fall.
I never used Pr 5.0.x, other than playing around. I didn't think it was ready for professional use until 5.5, so my experience. Maybe somebody else with experience on that version has more helpful info.
I have done a couple of "slide show" style projects in Pr, and other than suffering the occasional corrupt image, it's been pretty painless, and far better than my experience trying the same thing in FCP.
Good luck.

KT6 Delta - Random freezes and LAN Issues

Just built a new PC, installed Win XP, installed all the drivers etc.
I get random freezes - as in the machine will just stop responding totally. I could run for an hour before a freeze, other times its frozen before I've even logged in.
Also the LAN keeps dropping out too. The timing of this is also random, just to make things interesting. I could be downloading a 20MB file, get only 2MB into it, then it just sits there. The only way to get the LAN back up and running is to reboot. Once I've rebooted, its a case of just waiting for it to fail again
The specs are as follows:
KT6 Delta-FIS2R (Gigabit LAN etc.)
AMD 2800XP+
1GB Crucial (2 x 512)
ATI Radeon 9600 Pro
80 Maxtor HD
400W PSU
I've got the FSB set to 166 and also set the memory up correctly (333 and 2.5 cl) but to no avail.
I was running with a Soundblaster Audigy card, but took that out and still got the same. I even tried taking out one of the memory modules.
I don't think its a temperature issue as the CPU is currently running at about 47 Degrees and I've got the side off-of the case.
Please - anyone got any ideas???

I have a KT6 Delta LSR and am having probs with the onboard Broadcom 4401 as well.
After Initial boot of machine I have 2-5 minutes to surf the net or whatever. At that time I lose connection. Also if I linger on one page long enough to read, I lose connection. Or shutdown a net connected program, it loses connection.
When I play Tribes - the connection stays till I leave the server - then I have to reboot.
This is driving me nuts. I have disabled the Lan in bios and installed a Netgear 10/100. XP recognizes it but cannot get rid of "Cable not plugged in" message. So I reinstalled the 4401.
I have RR and am behind a Phoebe 4 port router. None of the other computers have a problem with the router, and I have tried changing plug in ports around among the computers.
I have the same version of driver for it as the latest at MSI. Flashed the latest bios lately as well, in desperation.
Any ideas? I sure would appreciate it.

Random freezes due to gnome-settings-daemon

Hello,
I've been experiencing frequent and random crashes during which the entire system freezes over a several-second period due to gnome-settings-daemon quickly consuming all available ram. During the crashes the mouse, keyboard, sound, and screen all become frozen, and I cannot trigger suspend, hibernate, shutdown, or switch virtual terminals. gnome-settings-daemon memory usage rises to 1.2GB. Nothing stands out in journalctl except for the usual general abundance of seemingly unrelated error messages, and I can't link the crash to any obvious trigger. The only way out is cutting the power. I've tried limiting /tmp size, killing the daemon, and closing applications in the brief time before total unusability, and none of these things has had any effect... According to a Google search, this was a problem with a recent version of the daemon, but it was apparently fixed. Has anybody else experienced this? Thanks.
Update: It's happening about once or twice an hour. I'll just go to move the mouse and it won't. Sound sometimes keeps functioning choppily for up to ~30 seconds.

Use lxappearance to set your gtk settings. There are some other ones too, like gtk-chtheme, gtk-theme-switch2, and gtk2_prefs. I like lxappearance, personally.

MSI P67A-C45 with 4x4Gb Corsair Vengeance = random freezes in bios

Ok here is the problem i hope you guys can help me with. I recently bought the following rig:
- MSI P67A-C45 Motherboard
- 4x4Gb Corsair Vengeance memory.
- MSI N560GTX-Ti Twin Frozr II/OC
- Core i7 2600K
I am having the following issues:
Whenever i put in all the memory, the PC won't boot, it hangs even in the BIOS (at random pages). Everything seems to run fine (except for a minor detail which i will mention later) with 12 Gb installed (3 dimms that is). I have tried changing the voltage to 1.65v but this doesn't change anything. With 12 Gb (or even only 4Gb) installed there is only one weird thing happening:
Whenever the pc wakes from hibernation i get the following error:
“Your system's firmware did not preserve the system memory map across the hibernation transition. If you proceed with resume, your system could behave in an unexpected manner after resume completes. It is recommended that you save all your data and reboot after system resume finishes. Kindly check for a firmware update with your system vender as it may fix this problem."
Then after clicking resume it says i can't resume from the saved state and that it will be discarded (effectively doing a clean boot of the OS).
Can these two problems be related, and if so, is it a hardware problem or some BIOS settings i can try?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1. Have you tested your mem sticks individually with memtest ? There is always a chance of a defective module.
2. Test the mem at 1333. Insert only 2, set it to 1333 manually in the BIOS, save and switch off. Add all modules and see if it boots.
3. You may also want to reseat your CPU, whilst it's out, check the CPU contact pads for indentations and see if there are any pins on the socket that are bent.
1. I have tested with 1 mem stick, then with 2, then 3 and then 4 (memtest from bios seems to be the only thing not crashing with 4 mem sticks). So i have not tested everything individually, but in my opinion this should be thorough enough.
2. I have done this exact thing but then with 3 mem sticks, only adding the last one when switched off, then turning it back on again. I will try with the two so in dual channel, this might make a bit of a difference.
3. I have reseated the CPU once, it is not a fun thing with the Big Shuriken cooler i have , i'll try this as a last resort.

MSI 785GTM-E45 Bios Startup Random Freezes Help?

Hi all,
I hope I am posting this in the right forum, because it is a bios startup problem. I have been searching the forums from here and other places extensively for the past few days as well as trying pinpoint the problem on my own computer. My problem is every now and then when I boot up, it takes a really long time to get past or freezes at "initializing usb controllers" or it just freezes on "hypertransport flood sync." Some people say its the cpu, motherboard, ram, etc... So I have just been testing to see which component is causing the problem.
I recently purchased parts to build a new computer from frys. The parts are:
1. MSI 785GTM-E45
2. AMD Phenom II X2 555 BE
3. Patriot Extreme Performance 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model PDC24G6400ELK
4. Antec EarthWatts Green EA-430D Green 430W power supply
5. PNY Geforce 240 GT
6. 80 gb pata WD harddrive and NEC pata dvd-rw.
At first I thought it might've been that I was unlocking the cores and they were unstable, turns out the 4th core is unstable. However, I still get the weird freezes at initializing usb controllers and hypertransport flood sync even when I am running the stock 2 cores. Plus I purchased another AMD 555 to test it out, and its the same. Then I turned my attention to the ram, I ran memtest86+ on it and the ram appears to be good. And I don't think it is the power supply either, I can't really test it cuz I only have one. It can't be the video card because I was having this problem before I even installed the video card (I was using onboard waiting for something to go on sale). I am beginning to suspect that it's just a bad motherboard. I have even tried updating the bios to 8.5, I can now support X6, but it still doing the weird random freezes.
Was wondering if others had any ideas or suggestions. Thanks.

For your current system as is that PSU will be OK. If you think you will be upgrading video to something beyond a 250GTS & x4 CPU then I would recommend the TX650W instead. newegg usually has the best prices for the Corsairs and only online store I buy from in the past couple of years.
If you look at the specs at newegg you will see where it says how many rails it has. Also n'egg usually has picture of the PSU label and you can see there, it will show for example 2 rail: +12V1@18, +12V2@18, note the number after +12V. A single rail will have 1, for example the Corsair in your link +12V@30A

Slow performance after installing Yosemite on an older Mac is often caused by inadequate memory. Although you can install the upgrade on a Mac with 2 GB of memory, experience has shown that at least 4 GB is needed for full performance.
Select About This Mac from the Apple menu. If you have less than 4 GB of memory, and your model has upgradable memory, install as much as it can take, or at least that much. Any reputable RAM vendor will have a web form in which you can select the Mac model and be directed to compatible parts.
Memory in the MacBook Air is not upgradable. If that's what you have, you should restore the previous system from a backup, or replace the machine. Ask if you need guidance.
The Etrecheck report clearly shows that SylvieRose has a Macbook Pro, not a Macbook Air and that there are only 2 GB RAM installed. The Etrecheck report can be very informative if one takes the time to examine it.

Randomly Freezing and Running Hot

Hi all,
So my MBP mid-2009 seems to randomly freeze without warning and after no particular operation or amount of time. It could be idling with no programs open or be under heavy use and can take anywhere from 15 minutes to over an hour, but it is guaranteed to freeze up and require a hard shutdown. I've been running Mavericks since late 2013 and have only had this problem recently (about the past 3 weeks). I've tried many little things but nothing too drastic (like disabling the hard disk sleep option and the Google Drive "show file sync status" option). I have an SSD and a 500GB HDD installed and am running rEFIt because I have 3 bootable partitions (2 were originally clones of OS X and the other is Windows 8 BOOTCAMP). I have noticed that the CPU is running much hotter than it should ( >80C with no load and the fan doesn't seem to spin up until it hits about 87C unless I use SMCFanControl).
Anyway I downloaded and ran EtreCheck and have pasted the output below. I know I'm a little heavy on the RAM usage, but that shouldn't cause this kind of instability. Also I'm not 100% sure (because activity moniter freezes up when I get the beachball), but it seems like Finder and Safari are the culprits of the crash.
Let me know if you need anymore info and thanks for your time!

Thanks, I'm notorious for not updating things.
I think I may have found the solution, my Crucial M4 was on firmware 0009, the latest is 070H. Apparently the 0309 update fixed a freezing issue:

Did the update to the latest, seems quicker already. Will know within a couple of hours if it worked or not.
Cheers!
