HP Pavilion p7-1414 memory upgrade issues

I just purchased a HP Pavilion p7-1414 desktop. This system has an AMD A8 processor and supports up to 32gb ram. I recently purchased a new 8GB stick of Kingston KHX16C10B1R/8 1600MHZ DDR3 NON-ECC HYPER X BLUE. This memory will only clock 1333MHZ no matter what slot I install it in. This machine has 4-memory expansion slots. The machine runs fine but the memory will not clock up to advertised speed.
Any input is appreciated. The memory in brand new. I also have 2 new 4MB sticks of Kingston ddr3 1600MHZ memory and they both clock fine @ 1600MHZ.
Thanks!

It seems likely that the HPSA isn't reading the information correctly.
If the BIOS shows the correct reading and passes the memory test, I would say that it's operating normally.

HP Probook 6450b Memory upgrade issue

Hi All,
I appear to be having a strange issue trying to upgrade the memory in a HP 6450b probook (i5-480m & ATI card). The laptop came with 2gb of p/n sps 598856-002 which is 1333mhz 1.5v ram with the manufacturer being ramaxel. I ordered and fitted a couple of 4gb kingston sticks
http://h30094.www3.hp.com/product/sku/10473659/mfg_partno/KTH-X3BS/4G
Fitted them and all seemed to be well as the OS (win 7 32bit pro) showed the stick as 8gb recognised and 3gb usable, the bios also reports 8gb as well. However the moment a 64 bit OS (Linux or Windows) is attempted to be run the laptop just crashes or hangs
I previously attempted this upgrade with two sticks of crucial memory but had exactly the same problem, so thinking the crucial memory was the issue I returned them to the supplier and ordered the kingstons instead.
I have seen very similar issue noted here:
http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/328016-30-memory-upgrade-probook
and
http://superuser.com/questions/580512/hp-probook-6450b-not-booting-after-memory-upgrade
My gut instinct suggests this laptop may be very fussy about the memory chips, it may have to be a 16 chip 4gb stick as opposed to 8 chip 4gb sticks.
Any thoughts and help on the matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
This question was solved.

You're very welcome.
Glad the lower density memory worked for you, and now you know what to look for the next time you plan on upgrading the memory on any HP notebook made in the last 8 years or so.

Macbook Pro late 2008 Memory upgrade Issue

Dear Gurus,
I have a late 2008 15" Macbook Pro 2.4 Ghz with 2 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 installed, I just brought a pair of corsair (2*4GB) DDR3 (CMSO4GX3M2A1333C9) memory upgrade and installed it in my macbook pro. I'm running OS-X Lion 10.7.1 before the upgrade now in About This Mac menu show that I have 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 and everything seem to be ok only when I shutdown and power up again the boot time seem to take longer than it is with previous 2GB memory module installed, it took almost 2 minutes from the power button pushed untill my macbook display the login screen. Question: Is the Ram upgrade is OK or I need to return the Ram and get the 1066 Mhz to replace my 2 Gb Ram. How can my mac report that I have 8GB 1333 MHz DDR3 Ram while the system only at 1066 Mhz bus
Best regards,

RAM will clock back to match the system bus as long as it's otherwise compatible. Reporting utilities tend to read the RAMs design speed.
It it works, ignore it.
As for this part of your question:
only when I shutdown and power up again the boot time seem to take longer than it is with previous 2GB memory module installed, it took almost 2 minutes from the power button pushed untill my macbook display the login screen.
that's normal. The OS does a "power-in self test" or "POST" at startup that includes RAM checking. The more RAM installed, the longer the test takes. You quadrupled you RAM, so the increase in start time does not surprise me.

16GB Memory upgrade issue

Hello,
I just did a memory upgrade on my macbook pro 15-inch early 2011.
After I insert the 2 x 8GB memory cards, macbook was started OK.
Several minutes later I noticed on USB port and audio are not working anymore.
If I insert back the 2 x 2GB original memory cards, all works fine.
Do anyone have some advice on this?
Thanks in advance.
Ricardo.

Early 2011 models were tested with the best available RAM at the time ... 4 GB sticks. Even last fall 8 GB sticks were $1000 for a pair. Now it is inexpensive enough for us common-folk to buy it. But that "it seems to work" only underscores the need for fully compatible RAM.
As to correct specs, just let crucial or macsales guide you by model/year. They try very hard to be Mac-compatible and only sell what they are willing to stand behind.

HP Pavilion s7720.uk memory upgrade

My parents own a HP Pavilion s7720.uk Desktop PC (opens in new)
Performance is suffering recently as it has become become loaded with software and gbs worth of photos and itunes music. they havent upgraded yet and I think upgrading the memory speed to freshen it up.
I believe that it currently features 1gb of 444mhz pc-4200 Hynix Memory. (Serial - Rx8-PC2-4200U-444-12-HYMP564U64CP8-C4-AB-C--0650--C)
The hp product page for the model states that PC2-4200 MB/sec is supported but I hope it will allow faster?
Ideally, I would like to install 2gb of superior crucial memory, but I am unsure of whether the motherboard will support the faster speed dimms. I already have understood 2gb is the maximum capacity but I hope somebody can tell me what the maximum memory speed it will accept, if that is, it is even an issue? I would hope maybe 667mhz 800mhz of the type PC2-5300 or PC2-6400?
I welcome any suggestions for alternative memory or different upgrades if this is not a particularly great idea. Note they already have an external hd
Cheers
Chris

Hi,
You can buy RAM from the following vendor (guaranty) or use the information to buy elsewhere:

15-inch Mid-2010 memory upgrade issues

Hi,
I have a 15-inch mid-2010 MBP running Mountain Lion, that I upgraded from 4 to 8 Gb of memory in Sept. 2012. The memory i purchased was a 2x4 gb set of Corsair Value rated at 1333 MHz. The upgrade went smooth, and i did not have any problems for a few months.
Then late in december or early in january, I had a few Kernel Panics. I didn't think too much of it, as I was busy with exams, and thought it might be a software issue or something, maybe related to VMware Fusion. The KP's started getting a bit more frequent, and suddenly one day the machine wouldn't boot at all, it just KP's at the Apple logo and then goes in a loop. I now suspected a memory problem, as my experience tells me that this is a usual cause of KP's.
I started fiddling with the memory sticks, and determined that one of the blocks would boot, so i went to the place i bought the set and talked to them. They agreed that the one block was probably faulty, and replaced my memory with a 2x4 Gb set of Corsair Mac Memory. This is 1066 MHz CL7, and should be compatible with MB,MBP and iMac, according to the packaging. The problem is that the machine will not boot with this memory either. It just goes for the same loop and KP's at the Apple logo. I can't even get this to boot with one stick in the machine, so it's arguably worse.
The machine works well with the original memory, It's been a rock solid main machine with 4Gb of ram for about a month now.
I tried PRAM and SMC reset to no avail. I tried booting into boot camp with the new memory, but it just never seems to load Windows. This also works with the old memory.
I'm a bit lost as to what i should try next. I suspect it's a problem with the Logic Board, i just don't see how, seeing as it used to work with 8 Gb, and that it still works with 4 Gb.
Any suggestions would be appreciated

So, i've played around with things a bit more. 4 gigs of ram is still rock solid. I've had the memory in a friends computer, an HP PC, where it works just fine.
Also, the computer starts up fine in fail safe mode if i hold down shift during boot, but that's no way to live.
I should probably have mentioned in my first post that I have replaced my optical drive with a 64 gb SSD that i boot OS X from. Since Windows does not start up either, and i've had that part of the setup for about two years, I wouldn't think that is the problem.
The computer has been running 15 passes of Rember this night, and was still running when i got up, so it's clearly not entirely broken.
Any suggestions?

HP Pavilion dv7 2215sa memory upgrade to 8gb becomes unstable

I have a HP DV7 2215sa laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit ed and it has 4GB of Ram.
I wanted to upgrade the mem to 8GB to bought two 4GB mem from Crucial and experienced the following problems:
1. Turned on the laptop after the upgrade and got 'Windows is loading file' message. After that, windows didn't load and saw the HP logo again (as you would do when you start the machine up). Then was presented with two options..... start windows normally or load windows repair (something like that, I can't remeber the exact message). With Either option selected, the machine just goes into the same bootup loop and you then presented with the same two options.
>>>>> Did a system check on the machine, i.e. checked memory and hardisk and they passed successfully. (System check being the option you go to when see the HP logo and press F2 i think....??)
2. Machine boots up after system check and......windows starts to load up, but crashes when I get to login prompt.
3. Restart machine again, Windows doesn't load and I get those previous two options again.....selsct load windows normally and....windows loads up! I manage to log in! I casn browse the web, load applications...and its quite fast but notice something strange. The screen flashes (just the once) and my wireless connection dies for about 5 minutes, i.e. get crossed symbol in the wirless icon as if to say its been disbaled when its not. The blue light is still on for wirless though on the laptop.
4. Wireless recovers. Run Go on to firefox, try to update it.....the update fails. Load itunes, it requires an update.....when it tries to download the update from apple, it gets a download rate that reminiscent of dialup...Kill, the download and acquire the latest file from Apple. Windows then tells me that the download in unverified and that it cant be trusted. **bleep**? Try this a number of times and then eventually it manages to accept the file somehow. But the drama doesn't end there, th install cycles about 5/6 times and then it eventually installs the application. (It was the 64bit version, 32bit couldn't be installed as advised by apple).
5. Rebooted the machine about three times and managed to log in all three times but still seemed unstable (i.e. firefox still didn't update).
6. Next day, started the machine.....BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH.....something about memory management. didn't get the error message recorded but knew it was to do with memory.
I've got my laptop working again by re-installing my old memory.
The modules that I bought were....... DDR310600 1.5V 4GB (x2)
My current modules are Samsung PC3-10600 2GB
I didn't try installing one module at a time to see which one was faulty because I was annoyed and just returned the memory back.
Has anyone had a similar experience with the same if not similar laptop? And if so, how did you manage to upgrade your laptop to 8GB?
Thanks,
Dav

I had the same issue with my dv7 2278 and was not able to fix my problem.

Pavilion dv5-1000us memory upgrade

I have an HP Pavilion dv5-1000us Windows 7 (product # FE850UA#ABA)
notebook installed with 4GB memory (2
X 2GB memory modules). I recently
upgraded to 8GB (2 X 4GB) but after
installation the notebook failed to
start up (failed to read disk).
Each of the 4GB memory modules works
fine when installed individually in
either of the memory slots. I can
operate the notebook with 6GB (1 X 4GB +
1 X 2GB modules).
Would you please advise me.

The memory you are using are from same manufacturer?
Please take a look at the link below for the memory installation topic
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00820047&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc...
If possible, make sure all memory modules in your configuration are from the
same manufacturer and have the same part number.

MS-6183 Memory Upgrade Issues

Help, I am upgrading a PC for a friend and have replaced the standard 128Mb PC100 ram with a matched pair of 256Mb PC133 DIMMs but the PC refuses to see any more than 128Mb. I have flashed the BIOS to 1.7 without any difference.
Is there a setting in the BIOS or Jumper that restricts the memory available?
Cheers.

So each one alone is 128MB and also both of them together are 128MB ?
Try clearing the CMOS then.

IMac G3 600 memory upgrade issue

I have just acquired a Snow iMac 600mhz, currently using 256mb RAM (one stick). I want to install a 512mb stick in the open slot, but the computer won't start with it installed. I have upgraded the Firmware to 4.1.9, and the RAM is known good in another computer. It was purchased from OWC, and I have confirmed that the specs of the RAM match the specs set forth by Apple. I don't know what else I can do. I have attempted rudimentary things, like trying to reset the PRAM (not successful, since when restarting after the RAM install, it only beeps/bongs and sits there). I am looking for alternative reasons/solutions for this problem.
I hope someone can help me.
Thanks!

Logical question. It was very well seated in the slot. It is PC100 CL2 168-pin 3.3v 64 bit SDRAM. I assure you it is the correct RAM. And I tried it in another iMac--a friend's 500mhz Snow iMac. It worked.
As stated above, I confirmed that the firmware is up to date. I am uncertain of what else I can do. If I install just the 512 stick, all I get at startup is that little beep--no HD spinup, nothing. If I leave the existing 256 meg stick in the "first" slot, and put the 512 in the "second" slot, I get the startup sound, and then nothing else--no HD spinup, nothing. I don't know what other recourse I have. I want to make this work, but wanting something doesn't make it happen...

HP Pavilion p7-1414 PC Internet Issues

Wasn't sure where to put this..
Lately I have been experiencing an issue with the Internet on this computer. I am a gamer, so basically when I play games and browse the internet (Google Chrome) and every now and than Skype a friend. Whenever I do this all at the same time the internet gets REALLY slow. I mean like Skype get's really staticy, everything on Google Chrome loading really slow, and having really high latency in a game (Doesn't matter which game).
And i've looked into this with all the computers, and any issues with the router, etc. But my other desktop I have in the room with me, doesn't do this. Runs perfectly smooth while I do all of this.
So after testing all of this and looking into this I have come to a conclusion. The Network Adapter built into the computer doesn't work properly or is just bad. So I tried to hook a Dynex Wireless G Network Adapter (Model No. DX-BUSB) into the computer. It crashes the computer within 5 minutes sometimes within 30 seconds whenever I tried this.
I would really like some assistance in this issue of mine. Thank you for your time if you managed to read this far.

Are we comparing computers? Then what are the exact model numbers? What are the side-by-side differences in CPU, GPU, motherboards, RAM, and OS.

MSI 6178 Memory Upgrade Issue

Hi
I've recently tried installing a single stick of 128Mb PC133 RAM on to my 6178 but it only detects it as 64Mb. All the chips are on one side of the stick.
I was hoping to flash my AMI BIOS (ver 1.9) with a Award 2.1 BIOS, but i keep getting a "The program files part number does not match with you system" message.
What am I doing wrong? Am i going about this the right way?
Any help would be most appreciated.
Cheers
Jigsaw

I have the same problem with MS 6163by master. it is very difficult to find a sdram that will work good on our old pcs. I tryed so many different rams... now i have 512MB working ram. I was hope to get more but...without sucess. If you look in your book of motherboard you will find the information which rams are supported and how many chisps it must have attached on it.
Good luck !

Mainstage 2: Apparent issues after memory upgrade

I'm wondering if upgrading from 4GB to 8 has caused some problems. After installing the proper memory upgrade (Crucial) I've had this result:
1. The increased memory shows up in 'About this Mac'. So far so good.
2. When I open a large Mainstage concert that used to show the RAM usage as very high, the RAM bar does not really look any shorter. This surprised me. I expected all sorts of headroom there that I'm not seeing. Disappointing.
3. This is the real problem: more often than not, when I go to save a concert, I get the horizontal progress bar... forever. It will simply not save. Eventually I force quit it, and end up with an autosave version. This is a real problem.
4. Another, lesser, new thing is that there have been occasional, sporadic display glitches. Sometimes a Patch name will be all scrambly, or I'll open an software instrument to edit and just get a white box in the shape of the window.
I guess my question is: although I'm indeed seeing 8GB RAM instead of 4, could there be an issue with the memory that might cause this? Any ideas as to how to troubleshoot this would be greatly appreciated.

That did it, thanks. I think I had read about that a while ago, and forgotten entirely. Everything seems to be as it should.

Memory upgrade fail - Kernel panic after put old memories back

I People, this is my first post here and unfortunately is to report a problem, not to help friends.
I did an memory upgrade last weekend. After this, he will not boot normally, only in safe mode.
I discovered that they sent me 1333Mhz memories, and my mac (mid 2009) supports only 1066Mhz.
I put the old memories again, however I believe that the system did not recognize.
As you can see below, the system recognizes two modules:
Memory Module: BANK 0/DIMM0, 4 GB, DDR3, 1067 MHz, 0x80CE, 0x4D34373142353237334448302D4348392020
Memory Module: BANK 1/DIMM0, 4 GB, DDR3, 1067 MHz, 0x80CE, 0x4D34373142353637334648302D4346382020
It is not true, I' using now 2 x 2GB, DDR3, 1067 Mhz (stock)
I tried to reinstall the system, but when I try, I got crash again.
how can I solve this issue?

Hi BGreg,
I already reset the PRAM as you said.
I've cleaned the memory modules as indicated by Linc above.
Today I formatted my harddrive to try a clean install, but system crashs after 5%, 10%.
There is something making me worried:
In one of my tries, I opened the system view to check my actual hardware configuration, and to my surprise, the system shows me 8GB installed. Cannot be. I have 2 x 2GB.
Where my system stores this information? There is a way to reset it? I tried last hour install the snow leopard, that cames with my mac, by DVD, but does not worked too.
Thank you all so far.
Giuliano

Memory upgrade on Satellite Pro L40-15d

Hi
I have Satellite Pro L40-15d with 512 memory (Samsung) but I wont upgrade to 1GB. I have Kingston ktt667d2/1g I have tray to put in to both slots but nothing work I cant switch on computer.
But when I change for old one laptop is ok. What can I do? Install special program or update BIOS or maybe the memory stick is broken.
Regards

Hi
The notebook doesnt boot after the memory upgrade due to these different issues;
- memory modules are not compatible together
- memory modules are not compatible with the notebook
- memory modules are faulty
- one of memory slots is faulty
In most case the memory module replacement helps.
One hint; did you try to switch the memory modules in the slots? Sometimes this helps.
Several weeks ago I have updated my memory and the notebook didnt boot.
I thought its a memory malfunction but after module switching the notebook booted correctly.
Good luck
