Bootcamp Windows 7 crashes only with upgrade RAM

I'm having a bit of an issue with my IMac, 27" 3.2 GHZ 1333MHZ 4 GB RAM.
Bootcamp is working fine with Windows 7 64 bit.
I decided to add 2x4 GB of 1333MHZ Apple RAM.
I've tried two brands now, Corsair and Mushkin.
Both make Windows 7 give me the blue screen of death, claiming memory issues.
If I remove the newly added RAM, problem goes away.
Now here is the strange part, OSX boots up just fine, and shows 12 GB of RAM, everything works.
Its just bootcamp rejects the memory.
Anyone else had this issue?
Thank you!

It seems like Windows doesn't like your Ram.
This wouldn't be a bootcamp issue if it is blue screening under a windows environment.
This may help further assist:

  • Brand new Macbook Pro (early 2015) with upgraded ram lagging in the simplest tasks

    I received a brand new 13 inch macbook pro (early 2015) with upgraded ram (16 gb) about two weeks ago. I was expecting it to do tasks faster than its predecessors (the macbook pro which came directly before it, which my father owns, and the early 2009 which is now a family computer), but became dissapointed when it began crashing basically as soon as i started using final cut pro, and ever since it has been lagging everywhere else! I have check my activity monitor regulary due to this issue and have noticed "kernel_task" taking a large percentage of CPU (when im not using the computer all that much around 10%) and it uses 1.5gb of ram upwards constantly without fail! I am aware that this is the operating system so i dont really want to fiddle around with it but it does sound a little bit high to me. Originally it was slightly tougher work on final cut that would crash it, hence why i haven't seriously questioned it until now, but currently i cannot even move my curser around without getting the spinning beach ball of death! Please help me!

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
    If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

  • Why are all my apps 32-bit on a Windows 8.1 desktop with 12GB RAM?

    Why are all my CC 2014 apps on a Windows 8.1 desktop with 12GB RAM 32-bit instead of 64-bit? 
    Thanks

    >don't see anything there regarding 64-bit applications
    You need to click on EACH program to read the requirements for THAT program
    System requirements | After Effects- Intel Core2 Duo or AMD Phenom II processor with 64-bit support
    System requirements | Adobe Premiere Pro- Intel Core2 Duo or AMD Phenom II processor with 64-bit support
    And so on... if the INDIVIDUAL page does say 64bit the program does not REQUIRE 64bit

  • Bootcamp: Windows 7 not booting on 4gb ram

    Hi!
    Situation: 
    I installed Windows 7 via Bootcamp. On 2gb ram (2x1gb or 1x2gb doesn't matter) windows boots fine.
    I upgraded to 4gb ram (2x2gb) and now Windows is not booting. As far as I know, it's not even getting in DOS.
    There's just the cursor blinking into infinity...
    What I've tried so far:
    Installing windows with 2gb and ugrading to 4gb.
    Installing windows with 4gb
    Tried the 32bit and the 64bit version
    Found a 'solution' on the web making me boot in safe mode in order to change the maximum ram windows accepts.
    Attributed more gb to the windows partition
    I'm out of ideas, what do you think?
    regards,
    Massimo

  • Compressor crashes only with markers...

    I've already found a workaround for this issue but I would love to figure out why compressor crashes whenever I try to compress a file with chapter markers. Here's what's happening: I export my DV sequence as a self-contained .mov w/o markers and then use compressor to compress to mpeg-2 to be sent to DVD SP. Everything is fine EXCEPT I have no markers when I go into DVD SP...ok. If I export the same sequence w/markers, when I submit to compressor, the compression process fails every time. So now I have to bring the self-contained .mov w markers into DVD SP, drop it into the timeline, so the markers are set on the timeline, then delete the audio and video from the timeline, so that I can drop the properly compressed mpeg-2 files on the timeline. It works, it's a few more steps, but it's a "workaround" and they sit like a thorn in my side. Any thoughts?

    No, you must move your ~/.mozilla file. Your ~/.mozilla file is hidden, but that won't stop you. From a terminal, do what Shining recommended:
    mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla.bak
    This is renaming (with the mv or move command) /home/yourusername/.mozilla to /home/yourusername/.mozilla.bak
    That way, when you start Mozilla Firefox, your configuration files (in ~/.mozilla) will be missing, so Firefox will create new ones.
    I think moving profiles.ini is also alright, since that file contains the profile name. So moving it should effectively disable the current profile and start with a fresh one, which is always a good thing to check (not only with mozilla apps btw ).
    And restoring it should enable it back.
    I think I still prefer working on the ~/.mozilla level as I indeed suggested, but I suppose it's just a matter of preference.
    @AriciU
    Which arch are you using (x86, x86_64, .. ) ?
    Did you try googling for that issue ?
    You could also check firefox bugzilla.

  • U550 - Windows 7 - 0x000000A5 BSOD with 1Gb RAM

    A friend of mine asked me to install Windows 7 on her IdeaPad U550. So I did. Everything worked at first. But after installing drivers and some software, I started getting BSODs on widows startup:
    The BIOS in this system is not fully ACPI compliant. 0x000000A5 (0x00001000, 0x00000000, 0x55AA55AA, 0xFFFF0091)
     I tried reinstalling windows 7, but windows setup fails with the same BSOD message.
    Some further experimentation has brought me to the following conclusions:
    1) the laptop works fine with a 1Gb memory module installed.
    2) the laptop doesn't work with more then 1Gb RAM installed (U550's shipped with one 1Gb and one 2Gb modules installed)
    3) the problem isn't in the installed OS (DVD booted windows setup also fails)
    4) both RAM moduls are working properly (tested them on my other laptop)
    5) both RAM slots are working properly (windows starts with 1Gb RAM module in either one of them)
    6) there're no BIOS updates for Lenovo IdeaPad U550.
    There IS however some kind of problem with the battery. There's a notification in systray recommending to replace it. Taking the battery out or placing it back in doesn't seem to make any difference in regard to BSODs.
    So, my best theory at the time is this: the battery (and/or it's absence)  somehow causes the ACPI-related errors. Now, that sounds kind of stupid to me, and I can't just ask my friend to buy a new battery if I'm not even sure it's gonna fix the problem. That's why I need your help, guys. Any help is appreciated.

    Well I deleted the VM and re-created it, and reloaded Windows and all my software, works fine now.
    Thanks for all the help.

  • Bootcamp with Windows 7 won't start with upgraded RAM

    Hello!
    I upgraded my RAM from 4Gb to 8Gb.
    OS X works fine but bootcamp with Windows 7 Ultimate x64 wont start. The screen goes black and white cursor is blinking at the top left corner. I have waited several minutes but nothing happens.
    When I remove the ram I just installed, Windows 7 will start normally.

    Are there any other options here? This is quite frustrating. I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit on my Bootcamp, and upgraded my RAM from 4GB to 8GB (bought Crucial RAM, which should be completely compatible). When I try to boot Windows, I get the blinking cursor hung. This is the ONLY thread I have been able to find that relates directly to this issue. I started to re-install Windows from the bootable install disc, but that tells me it will re-install Windows, and save all the old data in a volume called "Windows.old" and that I can access this data but "will not be able to use my old version of Windows." Maybe that's OK. Since I use my Windows partition exclusively for gaming and 3D sculpture work, I am pretty sure I can just pull all the appropriate data and re-install it in the new version of Windows. But I am leery of going through all this after reading the tale of woe told here that says that even re-installing with 8 GB RAM fresh does not work. Does anyone know of any other resources or options here? I can't even get to "Safe" mode - just a black screen and the blinking cursor.....arrrrgh! Any help greatly appreciated!

  • BootCamp Windows 7 - Crashes when woken from Sleep Mode

    Consistent problem on the WIN 7 side of the partitioned HD- goes into Sleep Mode either manually or on a timer, and then crashes when woken up; No problem using Sleep Mode on OSx side.
    Not likely MS will provide a solution. All recent upgrades/updates installed.
    Running WIN 7 Home Premium 64Bit
    Need to save the plant and conserve energy!
    Any suggestions?

    Ok, so it's certainly a Broadcom wifi adapter. The Lenovo nomenclature refers to it as "1x1 11b/g/n Wireless LAN PCI Express Half Mini Card Adapter (43142)". But why are you trying to install Realtek drivers?
    The only driver I could find is this one, for Windows 8. Please uninstall all other drivers, reboot and install this one, or let Windows find a suitable driver and see if that works. Also please read the document from the link, it gives detailed instructions on installation and uninstallation, how to check version number etc.
    It might be the case that you have to wait a bit for an updated driver for win 8.1 to resolve the problem, but It doesn't hurt if we try to find a solution.

  • Windows 8 crashes and with the error "kernel_security_check_failure" after installing Boot Camp drivers.

    Hi!
    I've got a new 27" iMac (late 2013), and I was going to install Windows 8.1 (64-bit) to be able to play a few games.
    Everything went smoothly (installed normally via Boot Camp Assistant), and after the Windows setup, the Boot Camp drivers needed to be installed. After this, the computer rebooted, but crashed at a blue screen with the error called "kernel_security_check_failure".
    It rebooted a few times on its own, but after a few times, I got some options, and I chose to "refresh" the Windows 8 install, meaning it would reset the install while keeping my files (even though I didn't have any, as I never got to use it). This took some time, but it worked, and it booted into W8.
    The Boot Camp drivers had been removed though, so I had to reinstall them. After they had reinstalled, the computer rebooted and the same blue screen with the same error hit me.
    Something tells me that some of the BC drivers are messing things up. I can't find any information on this elsewhere.
    Would it be possible to install only selected drivers, to eventually find out which driver is causing the problem?
    All help is greatly appreciated!

    I finally gave up, reloaded everything, this time, using WIn 8.1 Pro, not Enterprise.  After I did the updates, patches, Norton 360, shut computer down and connected the external drives, and booted up...and got the BSOD.  This time, I went to Microsoft and downloaded the Windows Debugger, and think I may have found the problem...NORTON!

  • Why restored windows after crash is with random order?

    I use new windows for grouping taks and tabs in each taks. If browser crash then after restoring windows is in random order.

    Why do you doubt that a particular driver may be causing crashes? This is not an unusual thing. Do you have any evidence or reasons for dismissing this (e.g. Apple's touchpad drivers are user-mode)?
    Regarding the issue, I am experiencing the same problem. After upgrading the trackpad driver I started getting BSODs and other odd behavior.
    Yes, it's an Apple driver issue, as are some of the audio problems Windows is having. The audio noise/corruption is being caused by Apple's wireless driver. Some users are reporting good results by replacing Apple's wireless driver with a downloaded Windows broadcom driver. Sorry I don't have a link but it's been posted on this forum.
    I believe the OP mentioned several applications were upgraded.

  • HELP! Lightroom Crashes Only with Adjustment Brush and only when using HDMI output!

    This is very frustrating. I use my Acer N56V laptop to teach Lightroom workshops. I use a 32 inch television as a display. When I have my laptop attached with an HDMI cable and try to use Lightroom's adjustment brush, it crashes. Either the screen and computer just shuts down or I get the Blue Screen of Death. I can do anything else! I can edit in Photoshop, do anything else in Lightroom or even Silver EFX Pro. I can even click on the adjustment brush. But the minute the brush hits the photo (and not before), the computer crashes. If I don't have it attached to the HDMI or if I use a Serial cable, no issues. It's only the adjustment brush and only the HDMI output.
    I called Adobe and they said it was because my onboard video card was primary and not the Nvidia. I called Acer and they said it's auto detect. I also tried making the Nvidia card primary and it still happened. Any ideas???

    You have switched the overlay mask to always show. Fortunately, it's easy fixed i.e. tap the O key. Shift+O will cycle the overlay through various colours
    Other Adjustment Brush and Graduate Filter shortcuts and modifiers are listed them below:
    Open Adjustment Brush - K
    Open Gradient Tool - M
    Show/hide Pin - H
    Always Show - Shift + Cmd/Ctrl+H
    Show Selected/Never Show - Shift+H
    To increase Amount - Right Arrow
    To decrease Amount - Left Arrow
    To increase/decrease brush size -  ] / [
    To increase/decrease feather - Shift+] / Shift+[
    Set Flow Amount - Number Keys
    To commit  and/or start new a brush stroke or gradient - Enter / Return
    To delete the selected pin - Delete
    Holding down - Alt/Option key activates erase mode
    Toggle Auto Mask On/Off - A
    Pressing O toggles on/off the overlay
    Shift+O cylces through alternative colours for overlay
    To constrain gradient to vertical/horizontal  - hold down Shift plus drag
    To invert the gradient - '
    To scale from center - Alt/Option plus drag

  • E-mail window for iPhoto V8 with upgrade 7.01

    I installed iPhoto 8 and got errors in posting. Installed 7.01 download this morning and using web gallery command now creates the gallery OK. Yesterday when I got errors I got a mail window open with the gallery and instructions to the recipients how to look at the gallery.
    Although the gallery now creates itself I don't get the email window to send to friends?
    Jill

    There's a Tell a Friend icon in the Toolbar at the bottom. You must have clicked that accidentally when you were playing with it before. That's the only way I know of to get the email message -- it doesn't make one automatically when I create the Gallery album.

  • MacBook beeps 3 times and does not start up with upgraded RAM....

    I recently started upgrading my macbook as i use large programs like final cut, after effects, and logic. So far ive installed an SSD (using OWC data doubler) and replaced the battery.
    Now i'm trying to upgrade my 4gb RAM to 8gb but my macbook doesnt seem to be compatible? Im trying to use Corsair 2 x 204-pin SODIMM DDR3 1066MHz CL7 but im not having the best luck. Its the Mid 2009 13 inch Intel Core 2 Duo 2.26ghz model currently running dual 2gb 1066MHz which SHOULD be compatable but i get nothing except 3 beeps everytime i try to power on. As soon as i put the original RAM back in it works perfectly. Ive literally tried everything from trying dual 4gb 1333MHz, reseting my PRAM and SMC. No matter what I try it gives me the repeated 3 beeps! PLEASE HELP!

    The correct RAM specifications for a mid 2009 13" MBP are: 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM.  If you deviate from this you run the risk of the RAM not operating correctly.
    I would suggest that you return the RAM and get chips with the afore mentioned specifications.  Inserting higher speed RAM will not solve your problems.  If it works, and it may, the MBP will down clock it to 1066 Hz any way.
    Ciao.

  • Confusing behavior with upgraded RAM

    Hi All,
    I Upgraded the RAM of my MacMini (1.66Ghz Intel) about 3 months ago. I swapped out the 2x512MB for 2x1GB DDR2 667Mhz Corsair RAM. The RAM was recognized and I had not had any problems until this weekend. I don't reboot this machine much, but I had installed a printer driver and the installer wanted a restart. After restarting, OS X says it only sees 512MB in one of the two RAM slots (the first one), the other is listed as 'empty'.
    This is really confusing because I would think it would either recognize 1GB or nothing, how could it only recognize half the memory of one of the DDR2 slots? Don't really want to open it up again, and I have already tried zapping the PRAM but no change.
    Any help or ideas would be appreciated.
    Alex

    Hi AndyO,
    Thanks again. Ok, So I'm starting to think it's some kind of hardware problem. Here are the tests I did.
    First I removed one of the two 512MB, and it booted and showed 512. Next I installed 1GB + the 512 that was present, it did not boot at all. Next I removed both and installed a single 1GB in the lower slot. It booted and showed 1GB of ram. Next I added the second 1GB and it would not boot. Finally I put the 1GB that caused it not to boot, in the lower slot alone and it booted and showed 1GB. This leads me to believe the ram is not the problem. It seems to be the paired RAM since, when I put a single chip in the upper slot it would also boot.
    So, is this the most likely problem? either the slot itself or the board? Seems like it wouldnt want to boot if the board had a problem but thats just my guess. Any more ideas would be helpful. Right now I am running a Single 1GB chip untill I can figure out this issue.
