Issues with windows 7 ram on a gd65 mobo

Hi all, i recently upgraded my pc after my old asus mobo died on me.  I found a good deal with a gd65, i5 750, and 4 x2 gigs of ram on newegg as a package deal.  I was looking around on windows and it says i have 8 gigs of ram but only 2.99 is available to utilize.... . I have done some searching around the net and these forums for for a fix to this problem, i hear the foxcon socket may be an issues (i do not know which socket type i have or how to tell).  I also saw that in the 1.5 bios update they fixed something with the mobo recognizing 8 gigs of ram, which brings me to my point!
Should I update my bios, i am currently running in 1.0.  So the question is, is the bios version causing this issue with the ram?  On a side note i originally only had 2 x2 gigs of ram and it had 2 registered and 1 available.  Any help would be greatly appreciated, and here is my system info so that you can better help me
Operating System: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
Memory: G.SKILL Trident 4GB (2 x 2GB)
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU 750 @ 2.67GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.7GHz
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX/9800 GTX+ (EVGA)
HDD:  WD 74gig raptor, WD 160gig
If i should update what can i do to make sure it goes as smooth as possible?  Any help at all or a link to something helpful would be great thanks!

Yes, it is a BIOS detection problem. Update it to v1.5 to solve the problem.

  • Major Issues with Windows XP and Sound Blaster Audig

    As mentioned in the post title, I'm using a Sound Blaster Audigy 4 card (recently purchased) and am having issues with Windows XP apparently because of it. When the card is physically installed, but the drivers are not, there are no problems. However, when the drivers are installed, Windows XP's "explorer.exe" crashes on boot, locking up the start menu and any other open windows. Now, I can manually end the explorer.exe application and then reboot it, and things will work... however, I cannot imagine that that is the intended functionality of this card. Additionally, I suspect the card in the failure of a game (Eve Online) but I would assume the issues are related. I've already narrowed the issue down to the Sound Blaster drivers. I've tried booting with the SB drivers but without the video card drivers, and the problem recurred. Every time I boot with the SB drivers installed, it fails. Without them, things seem to run normally. If it helps, I'm using an Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 processor, with GB of DDR800 RAM. I've installed Windows Service Pack 2 and all the other updates. The video card is a Geforce 7950 GT, with the latest NVidia Forceware (93.7) drivers. I've had this problem with both the Audigy drivers on the CD that came with the card and the newest ones downloaded from this website. My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3, which includes onboard sound hardware, but I have disabled it at the BIOS level. I can provide dxdiag information or anything like that if necessary. Does anyone have any advice, suggestions, or have you encountered a similar problem?Message Edited by DerekKatz on 2-04-200603:2 AM

    Thanks for the helpful reply Dan
    I ran the file, CTZAPXX.exe, like suggested, and it ran without a problem. It installed the files and even required me to reboot my computer!!
    However, after a computer restart, I am still in the same boat. Codecs are installed, but the location of the device is "unknown". In Device manager, there are no unknown devices; it shows the codecs in the sound tab, but no actual hardware; as if my sound card does not exist.
    I use my computer for music, and my buddy needs me tomorrow night to play some music stored on my computer. I really do appreciate the help I am offered. I do not mean to sound impatient, but I really need this device fixed, or I will have to have him buy me a sound card....

  • Itunes issues with windows 8... laggy?

    anyone one else having abit a of laggy issue with playing music on windows 8?
    i just upgraded to windows 8 con. preview, and its great and fast.
    i use to have windows 7 and itunes never skipped a beat.
    i have a sony viao with an upgraded ram and ssd hdd.
    and its pretty fast.
    so i dont think its my computer and windows 8 seems to be fine.
    anyone else having this issue? but it only happens now and then.......
    NOTE:
    i have my music all copied to my sdd hdd aswell
    and thats all thats really on there as i have ext. hdd's.
    i have a average size library in itunes with around about 50gb of music.

    I had the same issues with Windows 8 Consumer Preview. I installed on a fresh system and still had issues.
    I experienced extreme lag, with pretty much everything, and iTunes freezing once I attempted to change the currently playing song.
    I had a mess with compatibility mode and found out that running it in with Compatibility mode enabled for Windows XP (Service Pack 3) and as an administrator fixed it. It works now, however, there is a popup message that comes up on launch telling you to change the compatibility settings, but pressing "OK" makes it go away.
    How?
    Open Windows Explorer, and navigate to: "C:\Program Files\iTunes" (For 32bit) or "C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes" (For 64bit), unless you changed it.
    Right-click on "iTunes.exe", select "Properties" from the context menu, and click the "Compatibility" tab.
    Under "Compatibility mode" check off "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select "Windows XP (Service Pack 3)" from the drop down menu.
    Further down under "Privilege level" check off "Run this program as an administrator".
    Click "Apply" and "OK".
    Should fix any issues, I have my default iTunes Media Folder Location within an external hard drive so unplugging all of my USB's wasn't an option.
    Hope I helped!

    You are going to have to contact Adobe on this one. We are other users.

  • Weird issue with Windows Server 2008 R2 Print Server

    I have an issue with Windows 2008 R2 (VMWare Hosted) running Windows Print Server. 
    Prior to a small network change, the print server was working well, hosting about 80 different networked printers from various vendors. 
    We made a change (that we ended up rolling back) to the Client's DHCP Scope OPT 006 (DNS Servers). The DNS servers never quite worked right and broke AD authentication to different servers, and was just a mess.
    After rolling back we are not able to keep the printers online. If we ping them from the print server, the printer(s) never wake up, when a print job is submitted. If we ping them from one of the access switches, they work fine (until they fall back asleep),
    to prevent this, if we start a ping on the server AFTER waking them up from the Switch Ping, they stay online and no problems. 
    If we stop the ping, they fall back asleep at some point, and again, won't wake up without intervention/switch side ping. 
    Has anyone experienced anything like this? Any tips on how I could possibly resolve it? 
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    According to your description, the issue seems to be that the printers can't keep online. Sounds like a power managerment issue. Why these printers fall into sleep? Have you consulted this issue with the manufacturer of these printers? Do these printers
    fall into sleep if them lose the contact with printer server? Have you tried to reset the printers?
    >>We made a change (that we ended up rolling back) to the Client's DHCP Scope OPT 006 (DNS Servers).
    DNS client will cache the recently queried records. If the DNS server has replied with a wrong records, communication issues will occur. To clear the DNS cache on a Windows device, please run the command below:
    ipconfig /flushdns

  • URL issue with Windows 7 Internet Explorer 11 and SAP NW PI 7.

    Hello SAP community,
    I am facing a strange issue with Windows 7 - Internet Explorer 11 and SAP NW java services (I hope I am in the correct discussion) ...
    When I try to open URL http://sapserver.hosters-name:port it is working so far with Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 11.
    But when I click than on NWA (example), I am getting "http 500 server error".
    I don't have the issue, when I start-up a VMware Workstation with Windows XP and Internet Explorer 8.
    But now the strange part: In our network DNS (Domain Name Service), we can also open the URL by http://sapserver.our-dns:port.
    Than it is working without problems with Windows 7 and Internet Explorer.
    I would agree to state the comment - it is just a Windows 7/Internet Explorer 11 issue, if it wouldn't work for both URLs (http://sapserver.hosters-name:port = problem URL; http://sapserver.our-dsn:port = working).
    We are using a SAP NW PI 7.x system. Some URLs for PI are using http://sapserver.hosters-name:port/java service.
    Do you have any hints what is cause the issue - I suspect some with Internet Explorer and Firefox (because with Google Chrome at least the URL for NWA is opened, beside the issue, Google Chrome can't display NWA content)?
    Thanks for your help.
    Best regards
    Carlos

    Hi all,
    I think I found the solution.
    The reason seems to be, the domain name for http://sapserver.our-dns:port, "our-dns" was already added to the compatibility view settings of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
    That seemed to be the reason, why it was working with http://sapserver.our-dns:port.
    When I now added for http://sapserver.hosters-name:port the domain "hosters-name" to the compatibility view settings it is now working.
    Internet Explorer Options => Settings for compatibility view => Add domain
    Best regards
    Carlos

  • SSLVPN connectivity issue with Windows 7 x64 All browsers.

    I think that I have tried everything to get this working but whatever I seem to do I cannot connect to my SSLVPN using Windows 7 x64. The 32bit version is fine. I have installed the Microsoft C++ Redistributable 2010 and 2005 for both x86 and x64. I have tried clearing the cache in the Browser. I have installed Chrome and Firefox , I even started my laptop using the 'Disable Driver Signature Enforcement' from Advanced Boot options but nothing is working.
    Does anyone have anything else to try. This is a bit of a showstopper for us because not do we have this issue with Windows but we have Mac users as well and that is also an issue.
    Cisco really needs to fix this issue fast...
    Please help.
    Thanks

    Try using both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Internet Explorer.  Sometimes one of the two will work.

  • RV042 Firewall issues with windows 8

    Hello,
    I recently bought my daughter a refurshed dell 17" laptop which has Windows 8 home edition on it. She also has another smaller laptop with windows 7 on it, an X-box-360 and a PS3 all connected to this RV042 Business router.
    I do not have access to the firmware version of the RV042. I believe it was updated in 2011 or early 2012.
    We found out that with the RV042 firewall set to ON, she is UNABLE to hit her college website with the new win 8 computer
    She CAN go to the college web site with the smaller win 7 computer when the firewall is off or on.
    The college website is https://
    The win 8 computer will allow google searches, but when you click on any of the links, it will not load.
    With the win 8 computer, facebook will not load, MSN and Hotmail will not load.
    Disable firewall, and most (if not all) items that did not work, magically DO work when the RV042 firewall is disabled for the win 8 laptop.
    Anyone else having issues with with win 8 home edition and the RV042 firewall enabled? Is there a "simple" cure for this, other than slicking the laptop and putting win 7 on it?

    We've have already tried compatibility mode, lowering the security setting to minimum.
    Dell technical support has given up, they are supposedly sending my daughter a brand spanking new wireless router at no cost to close the ticket. It's a sweet laptop that I got for a steal (17" viewable touch screen, 1TB drive, 6 GB RAM, i5 chip) and I don't want to return it becuase i will not find another for $435.00.
    I have two newer cisco VPN style routers here, and the laptop in question runs absolutely fine here on the highest settings and without me altering my network at all. Don't have a clue what the issue is with the RV042, the laptop and Win8.
    If I find a solution I will let everyone know.

  • Ipod sync issues with Windows 7

    I just purchased a new computer with the Windows 7 operating softeware and now I cannot sync my Ipod Touch (3rd generation) but I do not experience this issue with my old computer with Windows Vista.  When I need to update my Ipod I have to connect it to my old computer.  Help.  I do not want to pay Apple for support when I see countless post about this issue.

    Diane Wordsmith wrote:
    Are you set to manually manage on both computers? If not, an auto sync on one of them will erase the iPod and place that computer's library on it.
    No that wouldn't be it. The manual vs. Auto sync setting is stored on the iPod, not on iTunes. So if you take a manually managed iPod and plug it into an iTunes it has never connected to before, the new iTunes will still recognize the iPod as manually managed and not do anything bad to it (in theory).

  • Driver issue with Windows 8.1 on new iMac 2013

    Just got a brand new iMac and am attempting to install Windows 8.1 on it. The Boot Camp Assistant kept timing out on the support software download so I downloaded Boot Camp 5.0.5033 from Apple support and put that on my external FAT drive.
    I was able to get Windows installed, but when I attempted to run setup.exe off of my external drive, I got a "Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model" error. I was able to work around this by running bootcamp.msi from a DOS prompt in administrator mode at which point the install seemed to go through successfully.
    Despite that, I'm still getting no love on WiFI, bluetooth, audio, etc. I'm attempting to download again through Boot Camp Assistant on the hope that there's a later version for my machine that's not yet available for direct download but am not optimistic.
    Any thoughts/ideas would be great appreciated. Note that I am running the latest everything on the Mac side (recent 10.8.5 Combo). 
    Thanks in advance.

    Actually, that link is exactly what got me in trouble. Use Boot Camp Assistant to get the drivers.
    As of this writing, Boot Camp 5.0.5033 will not adequately set up your drivers on a new iMac with Windows 8.1.
    The only way I was able to get the WiFi working was to use the drivers automatically downloaded by Boot Camp Assistant. Presmably this is a newer version than 5.0.5033 but I haven't been able to find it anywhere else for download. 
    I should also note that I was having some DirectX issues running graphics intensive software even after updating through Boot Camp Assistant. These were resolved by downloading the latest driver for my video card (GeForce 780M). There might be other issues that will require a manual driver update but I've yet to run into any more.
    Best of luck.
