Has the duff memory module screwed my MB

I have a Neo2 Platimum AMD64 3200+ (standard heatsink)
Memory is Corsair CMX512-3200XLPT (2.2.2.5)
2x 512Mb twinX
Everything has been working fine for the last 2 weeks, but this morning the PC died
I was getting memory initialisation errors on the LED's
So I've now tested each memory module in turn in each of the dimm sockets.
Skt1(P) Skt2(G) Skt3(P) Skt4(G)
Dim 1 FAIL WORK FAIL WORK
Dim 2 FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL
So It look's like the MB is broken and the memory too.
Could the memory module have stuffed up the Motherboard ?
The memory controller is on the CPU, could that have been affected ?
Has anyone else had this sort of problem ?
Andy Cooper

Not having any spare DDR memory I purchaced 128Mb dimm (PC2700) and proceeded to test the slots.
It worked in skt 2 and 4 (same as the working corsair memory module).
So I definitly have a fault on the motherboard and it also looks like I have a fault on one of the corsair dimms.
So either the MB killed the dimm or visa versa.
Looks like 2 RMA's in the offing

HT1423 I am adding more memory, should I replace the top two slots with the 4g memory modules, then place 2g memory modules on bottom slots. Does it even matter?

How do move what is on my startup memory over to the other memory modules?

I installed extra memory into my Mac. I have used up all of the start up memory (per the notice that comes up every time memory is tried to be accessed). How do move what is on my startup memory over to the other memory modules?

Activity Monitor's window shows the RAM being used; it does not show how much of your hard drive is being used. Here is how you find out how much of your hard drive is being used:
control click on your hard drive icon and you will get a Get Info window like this:
On my MBP, the hard drive is 239 GB of which 59 GB are used and 179 GB are available.

What's the right memory module for an iMac G4 Flat panel 15-inch?

Hello!
A new program I've recently bought requires me to expand my iMac's memory, which is currently 256 MB.
After searching the Apple Store web site, I think I've come to the conclusion that what I need is an Apple memory module called "512MB DDR266 SO-DIMM (PC2100), 200-pin". As I don't know any expert who can give me some advice, and as I'm no expert myself, could anyone please tell me if that's right?
Thank you!
iMac G4 Flat panel 15-inch Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Ciao e benvenuto alle discussioni di Apple.
There are actually 3 different types of user slot installable RAM for the iMac G4 models so you'll have to check what your processor speed is (Go to  Apple Menu > About this Mac > ):
iMac G4 15" and 17" 700 or 800MHz, PC133 144pin SODIMM.
iMac G4 17" 1GHz, PC2100 200pin SODIMM
iMac G4 1GHz 15" or 1.25GHz 17"/20", PC2700 200pin SODIMM.
So although I can't tell you exactly what RAM you need I can tell you that if you have a 15" screen the PC2100 is wrong.
I'd advise using Crucial memory in Europe as the prices are amongst the best and they are Mac friendly. I wouldn't recommend Apple memory; it's overpriced. I also wouldn't advise buying a cheap brand as it could cause trouble.
Here are the fitting instructions.

Unable to assemble the RAM memory module into the slot

Can someone tell me how to assemble the RAM module into the slot? I have followed the instructions provided by Mac but I cannot fit it into the slot. I do not know if the module is faulty or I do not apply enough force to get it in (afraid of damage it).

As long as you are certain that the notch in the module lines up with the matching piece in the slot, put equal pressure on both ends as you push. It takes about 20 pounds of pressure to get it to snap in. Just make sure you don't push on one end and not the other and be careful to push straight in.

Ipod shows there is no music or video, but still has the same memory.

so basically, last night I hooked up my iPod and synced it to upload this new podcast I had. once it did, I turned off my computer and went to bed. When I got to bed, I went to listen to that podcast, and it wasn't there..nothing was there. I went to the about and it said "Music: 0 Video:0 Photos:2752" But then I looked at my available memory, and it said, "Capacity:74.3GB Available:23.4GB"
So I believe that all my music and videos are still inside my iPod, but my iPod isn't reading it..
Can anyone please help me? I really do not want to lose my whole libary..it isn't on my iTunes anymore..

*...it isn't on my iTunes anymore...*
Why not? You erased the iPod's backup!
Well, try this reset procedure...
1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
2. Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. +You may need to repeat this step.+
If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep. Allow at least a two-hour charge and repeat the above steps.

K7T, memory modules and slowness

Bonjour à tous.
That’s the first time I post… It’s hard for me to write in english…
My motherboard is K7T Turbo (MS-6330). I have two problems :
1. I have three memory modules : 256 MB, 128 MB and 64 MB. All three are 133 MHz speed.
The memory test of Norton Utilities indicates alwys an error at an address about 356888576 (the address is not always the same, but always greater or equal than the one I wrote above.
 When just one of these three memory modules is used, the memory test is always OK (any module plugged in any socket)
 The test is also always OK with the two modules 256 an 64 MB,
 Also OK with the two modules 128 and 64 MB,
 But it is Always failed with the two modules 256 and 128 MB.
Here is my conclusion : my K7T Turbo has a problem « addressing the memory in the space around the address 356888576 and above ».
356888576 is 1545B000 in hexadecimal. 256 MB + 128 MB = 18000000 (hexa) is the only combination of my memory modules that goes ahead 1545B000 (256 MB + 64 MB = 10400000)
Do you think my motherboard is guilty ?
2. The Memory Bandwidth Benchmark of SiSoftware Sandra 2002 gives me a result about 895 MB/s.
The result is the same with one, two or the three memory modules. And It seems to me very low.
Is it possible to obtain better ? Is it necessary to upgrade the BIOS (my version is 2.9) ?

When troubleshooting, I always change one variable at a time. I would hate to miss a solution by being in a hurry. In this case, you may have damaged either the RAM or the RAM slot. I would stick with the Toshiba specifications for the RAM, making sure it is the correct size, speed and type recommended. I also recommend that when you replace the RAM that both modules be from the same manufacturer, size, and specification. Try one RAM module in one slot and then the other. And then try both RAM modules in both slots. After the testing you should be able to figure if this is a RAM problem or a RAM slot problem.
In the case of hard drives, the real test is whether or not the Bios sees the hard drive. If the Bios doesn't see the hard drive, it's not going to work. The Bios should see the hard drive whether or not the hard drive is partitioned, formatted or has data on it. My experience has been that many Toshiba laptops will work fine with larger capacity hard drives provided they are the same speed in RPMs, have the same interfacing connection and physically the same size.
Again, prior to doing any work on your computer, make sure that both the AC power has been disconnected and the battery has been removed. Be careful out there. A blown repair job by a non-Toshiba tech is NOT covered under warranty.

Bad memory modules or motherboard??

I rearranged the cables in my case and now I'm not able to boot using dual channel memory configuration. It worked before just fine!
I've got two 512MB twinmos twister pc3500 modules.
D-bracket indicates bad memory module if I try to setup dual channel using dimm 1 and dimm 3. I've tried other dual channel combinations with the same result.
I can only boot using dimm 1! using the other slots get me the bad memory module status on the d-bracket. I've tested both mem modules in slot 1 and I am able to boot so it seems the mem modules are OK. Or are they OK for just single channel config?
Do I have a faulty motherboard or are the memory modules bad?
MSI 865PE neo2 fisr rev 1.00
2x512MB twinmos twister pc3500

Christ! what is it with these MSI boards?
The 2 848P's i tried both worked fine with a single 512mb strip in, but put another in and the D Bracket Light 2 stays and the PC fails to boot or reboot properly - it's totally hit n miss.
See my thread for the unbelievable amount of problems i've had with the 848P! :
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/e_service/forum/index.php?threadid=31192&sid=
I'm RMA'ing both 848P's as i've tried everything, now even the forum moderators say rma the boards so i know its nothing trivial happening here... They're even going to get MSI to look at my thread - so hopefully they will take notice!
Am i to take it that the 865 also has similar problems, ffs!
Is there a stable MSI mobo available that will take 2 DDR's sticks or not?

Problem with memory module

The problem with upgrade memory module.
Available:
Cisco 2951 router with the default memory module 512Mb.
Additionally purchased:
Memory Module MEM-2951-1GB (SG572288FG8P6ILMH4)
Problem Description:
When you start seeing a hardware router modules, after loading the ROMMON
reading failure IOS image
The first module is worth the default 512M, 1G second unit acquired
The permutation modules as well as single use module 1G situation has not changed.
Work whether the module supplier sold me?

It shouldn't cost you a fortune, John. I usually find Apple re-sellers very obliging on matters like this. Where did you buy your memory from? If it was Apple retail they may help and explain about the residue at the same time.
It's not unusual to meet difficulties with the fitting of memory but the residue is something I haven't met before.

Reusing memory modules

Can the 2x2Gb memory modules (to be removed to upgrade to 16 Gb) from a 2011 3.4 GHz i7 iMac be successfully used to increase the memory on a 2009 2.8 GHz i7 iMac?

Greetings,
Nope. 2011 iMac uses a faster form of memory which is not compatible with the 2009 logic board.
2011 uses 1333MHz DDR3 memory -- http://support.apple.com/kb/SP623
2009 uses 1066MHz DDR3 memory -- http://support.apple.com/kb/SP576
Cheers.

Will a Presario V5120NR accept ECC (vs non-ecc) memory modules?

I cannot find anything down to that that particular level in the specs on the HP website for this particular model. I know it is DDR PC2700 333, but that is a much as I can find/glean. The original memory modules currently installed in the machine (2 256mb) don't indicate either on their stickers.
Thanks!

Non-Ecc only. Max 2GB.

PC3-10600 memory modules in ThinkPad x61?

Hey everyone,
I own two thinkpads: X61 and T60. A friend of mine upgraded his thinkpad to 8 GB RAM, from 4, and offered to give me the Elpida memory modules. It's 4GB. I now have 4 GB in the X61, and 2 GB in the T60. I was thinking of installing the memory my friend gave me on the X61, and putting the current X61 modules in the T60, but the modules he gave me are pc3-10600. Will this run ok in the x61? I realize that is not going to run at the rated speed, but will it run ok, without any problems?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I am pretty sure that both the T60 and X61 use DDR2 memory. What your friend gave you is DDR3 memory, which is not compatible, as they are not electrically or physically compatible.
Compare your ram with the one your friend gave you, you will see the "notch" is in a different place, preventing accidental mixup.

Memory Slot Utility "memory modules are installed in the recommended slots"

I've got two Mac Pros that give me this message. Every time I boot them up the Memory Slot Utility gives me the message that my memory modules are installed in the recommended slots.
This started after I installed an additional 8GB of RAM, bringing them up to 16GB. 8x2GB sticks.
I checked the login items and it's not there, so what else could I be missing?

I have this problem too on a Mac Pro Quad Early 2009.
Has 2x4GB + 2x1GB Runs fine with 10GB, but everytime I log in the memory utility pops up as if I have a problem.
How do I stop it annoying me?
