DIMM 3 and DIMM 4 RAM slots won't work

Good evening,
I bought an Z77A-G43 board, together with an i5 3570K and 2x4GB ADATA-1600 RAM. When I first started my new system, it didn't boot. The fans start spinning, than the system shuts down after a few seconds, without showing anything on the screen nor beeping. I figured this only occurs when DIMM 3 or DIMM 4 are used. (For Dual-Channel I have to use them.) What I tried to resolve the issue:
- Reseated CPU
- Disconnected all peripherals (HDD, ..)
- Successfully flashed the BIOS to version 2.8
The board recognized my RAM as 1333 and 1.65v, while it is labeled as 1600 with 1.5v. I tried:
- Manually trying all combinations (1600+1.65v, 1600+1.5v, ..)
- Activating "Extreme Memory Performance", which now detects my RAM properly on "auto" (1600+1.5v)
All this did not change the fact that my system doesn't boot when using the third or fourth RAM slot. (Which are shown in BIOS as first and second by the way, if that is to any relevance.)
Is there anything I can still try? Or do I have to send the board back? :(

Remove CPU and check the MB CPU socket for bent/damaged pins (good lighting and magnifying glass is needed). That is primary cause of problems with slots 3 & 4 RAM on s1155 MBs. Memory controller is in CPU and there have been some people that have had bent pins in the socket being the problem. Usually they can be straightened out with not much trouble.
Here are a couple of examples:

I installed iTunes 10.5.3.3 and now my DVD player won't work.

I installed iTunes 10.5.3.3 and now my DVD player won't work and has this error:
This device cannot start. (Code 10)
Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available.
Any ideas why iTunes renders my DVD drive unusable? I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and when reinstalling I had my device manager open and saw during the installation how my DVD player went from accessible to not being able to start.
Why is this happening?
Here is my computer information:
Dell
Latitude D630
Intel Core Duo CPU T770 @2.40 Hz
4.00 GB RAM
32-bit Operating System
Thank you,
Kelly

There's a few different possibilities with a code 10, Kelly. To narrow in on the likeliest culprits it would help to have a closer look at your system.
Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
... and click "Next".
When you get through to the final screen:
... click the "Copy to Clipboard" button and paste the diagnostics into a reply here.

TS3988 I changed my Apple ID to my new email address successfully for the iTunes and App store but it won't work for iCloud and it won't recognize my password. I read that this can't be done. How am I supposed to get into iCloud?

I changed my Apple ID to my new email address successfully for the iTunes and App store but it won't work for iCloud and it won't recognize my password. I read that this can't be done. How am I supposed to get into iCloud? I plan on getting rid of my old email address which is my old Apple ID so how is that going to work?

Same question Wish someone had replied!
I changed my Apple ID to my new email and now cannot find any way to access icloud. Unfortunately I had allowed icloud to hijack my airbook files, so of course I am afraid I will lose them tomorrow when I exchange my iphone for a new one and cannot keep an icloud account i cannot access. What a poor sync system! Really atypical for apple!

My friend has exact same Mac and CC and he has the same problem. We both have up to date Yosemite and CC versions.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Could you please confirm the CC application you are using.
It would be great if you post a screenshot of the problem.

Software Update (under the Apple menu).
Current Snow Leopard version is 10.6.8.

I upgrades my mac operating system to OSX 10.9.4 and now my Dreamweaver CS5 won't work, it just quits unexpectedly. please help.

I upgrades my mac operating system to OSX 10.9.4 and now my Dreamweaver CS5 won't work, it just quits unexpectedly. Please help.

Remove preferences on Mac OS
Quit Dreamweaver.
In the Finder, navigate to /Users/Your User Name/Library/Application Support/Adobe.
Rename the Dreamweaver preferences folder:
Dreamweaver CS5: Rename the Dreamweaver CS5 folder to, for example, Old Dreamweaver CS5.
Navigate to /Users/Your User Name/Library/Preferences.
Rename the Dreamweaver preferences file:
Dreamweaver CS5: Rename the Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 Prefs file to, for example, Old Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 Prefs.
Try to re-create problem
After you have removed your existing preferences, restart Dreamweaver. The application creates new preferences files, folders, and registry entries, as applicable, using the default settings.
Then try to re-create the problem that you had before.
If the problem was resolved, then damaged preferences was the cause.
If the problem persists, then the preferences are not the cause and you can replace the original preferences.
To replace the original preferences:
Quit dreamweaver.
Delete the new preferences folder and restore the original name of the previous folder.

Had to purchase two OS X system upgrades, new iPhoto etc. just to connect new iPhone 5 and now half my apps won't work. No rosetta and missing lost dogs pics from iCloud...HELP!

I had to purchase two OS X system upgrades, snow leopard and mountain lion, just to connect my new iPhone 5 and somewhere between uploading iPhone 4S pics to iCloud some important pics disappeared then installed new iTunes and purchased new iPhoto all just to connect new iPhone 5 and now half my apps won't work. No Rosetta to make apps work but its not as simple as upgrading apps and missing lost dogs pics from iCloud...HELP!

File a complaint with Apple for not giving adequate warning before upgrading OS X that it would render PPC programs dead.
That someone at Apple said requiring the iPhone 5 to have 10.8 (10.6.8 is the minimum actually) and in order to remain a loyal Apple customer they need to fix this mess and revert your machine and software back to 10.6.8
You see, 10.6.8 would have ran your iPhone 5 and ran your PPC based software, so whoever told you to upgrade to 10.8 was wrong and they need to fix your machine.
It can be reverted to 10.6.8 yourself.

Windows 7 and dv4-1125nr TrackPad - scrolling won't work

I have installed all the latest drivers via HP support's website and the trackpad's scrolling won't work on my dv4-1125nr when in Windows 7. It works fine in Vista, so I'm wondering if there is a way to get it working properly in Win 7. Also the software update manager is not available for download under my model number. If that was available, perhaps that would find a necessary download and install accordingly. Any help is greatly appreciated as this is a major annoyance!! Thanks!

Hi Daniel, thanks for your post, recently I also upgraded my laptop(dv4-1125nr) from vista to Win 7 ultimate, after then my touchpad(touch keys just above the keyboard, it contain mute, vol. up or down, wireless active or inactive) is not able to work.
You informed that we need uninstall and then install Synaptics touchpad for Win7 by HP here
I would like to know which driver i need to uninstall and then install above one and even i attached my laptop contral panel screen shot for your reference. your help is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Praveen Kumar. K

I am trying to set up the ipod to my email account and it keeps saying it won't work, even though we have confirmed user name and password. Any advice?

i am trying to set up the ipod to my email account and it keeps saying it won't work, even though we have confirmed user name and password. Any advice?

Try deleting the account from the iPod and try reentring all the information again. A lot of times it is easier to reenter the information rather than trying to find and correct the error.
Try Googling for how to setup the email account for your provider on an iPhone. You can try for an iPod Touch but frequently that does not exist.

I'm using the sync option for when I'm not near my desktop and no matter what it won't work its telling me my account name or password is not correct and it is!

I'm using the sync option for when I'm not near my desktop and no matter what it won't work its telling me my account name or password is not correct and it is!

This is from my personal experience:
It almost happens every time I tried to connect with Sync from my Android phone, the window asking me to enter my account name and password always shows up. And if I enter the information, it'll say I have the wrong password, etc. My workaround is to click the "cancel" button. But it does not cancel immediately. The window will stay on for a while (usually a few minutes), then it'll disappear and start connecting to Sync. And it'll connect and sync successfully.
You can try this workaround but you have to be patient to wait for the window to disappear.
I don't know what is the cause of this, but it has happened ever since FF4 for Mobile came out. I have searched around and couldn't find any solutions.

Installed itunes 6 and now CD/DVD drive won't work at all

I just bought a new ipod and installed the software and now my CD/DVD drive won't work at all. Here is my info: Could someone please help!!!
Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)

If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.

If anyone has a solution for this stupid problem that would be great.
Thanks

Yes, I suspect that it's the virtual drive emulator software you have there. I know nothing about that software and it doesn't look like the Roxio support page even mentions it, so it's probably software old enough that they're not supporting it anymore.
To uninstall any software, I would start with the "Add and Remove Programs" Control Panel. Uninstall it there, and then use the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility —
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=290301
Download and install that. Run it and find the drive emulator software on the list and remove it there. And reboot and see if that has successfully removed it.
There is a work around that if we just remove the iTunes CD driver, you'll probably get your drive back, but you'll only be able to rip CDs, you won't be able to burn them without the iTunes CD driver installed. You do have some Pinnacle CD burning software installed. Are you currently using that or is that leftover cruft as well?

Ipod unresponsive and the 5 R's won't work - how can I get it to respond?

I think this is toughest question, and only real smart IPOD expert can handle this one.
computer is running windows XP and I have recently downloaded iTunes 7.
IPOD is in "disk mode". When I plug it into the computer via USB, it made the "gong" sound, so I know it is connected, but it doesn't show up on iTunes as a source.
When I try to reset, it shows the apple and then goes to the file folder with the "!"
I tried removing iTunes 7 and then restoring with older software but that won't work either.
Please help!!!!

I was able to fix mine. I went to software update and updated a few things. I did not update everything, but only what I thought were the essentials, which I believe was Safari, a security update, and a firmware update.
Then I deleted and reinstalled Itunes yet another time. Now the itunes store is back up again.

I just installed iOS 6.1.5 and now my power button won't work

After installing iOS 6.1.5 and reinstalling the apps that it deleted from my computer my power button won't work on my iPod touch 4th gen. Any suggestions?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar

My iPhone 5c won't charge after i have updated to IOS 7.0.6. I have tried amny different outlets, cleaned the iPhone wires and stuff. But nothing won't work!

Please help, I have been buying new wires and everything but it won't work.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore.
Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
