MSI 6380 RAM Question....Why won't it detect?!!?

Hi all,
I currently have 2 x 256 mb PC2700 DDR sticks (double sided) in my MSI 6380 mobo. I went out and bought myself another double sided stick today and the damn board won't detect the extra stick for love nor money  :(
I know the stick works as it reads fine in other slots. MY brother has told me that some motherboards just don't like having 3 sticks. Is this true of the 6380?
If so is there any work around?
Many thanks

Try running memtest on the new stick you just bought.  It runs under dos so you won't have to worry about only 256 with windows.  Take the old two out and test it by itself.  You might have just gotten a rotten dimm.  Another thing you could try is putting it in another slot.  Your third dimm slot could be bad.

  • Why won't iTunes detect my iPhone?

    I tried so many different wires and ran tests through iTunes and it says it won't detect my phone and i don't know why. I tried to sync my phone over wifi too and it still won't detect my phone. I haven't been able to sync my phone since i got the new iTunes update. My phone and laptop are up to date so what is the problem? Why won't it detect my phone?

  • HT203200 Question: why won't one specific show download?

    Hi,
    When I was downloading 8 different purchased TV shows, all episodes of seasons I've purchased, one,5th on the list wouldn't download sighting err=8003. I retried many times with the same result. All the others downloaded before and after. Help?
    Hope someone has the answer!
    Thanks,

    So I received the 30G Video IPod for Xmas. Like it a
    lot. I have the most current version of ITunes. I
    purchased two tv shows and one music video on ITunes.
    I synced the iPod. Had sync all movies selected.
    It synced the TV shows, synced a few other movies
    that came with albums (Blue Orchid by White Stripes
    Video for example). BUT the music video I had just
    purchased won't sync. I tried a few tricks, created
    a playlist, etc.. but the movie section wouldn't
    even see the playlist. I tried putting the video in
    a music playlist but it wouldn't sync there either.
    How do I set up Movie Playlists so that they are
    recognized by ITunes? Any idea why that vid won't
    sync?
    Thanks!
    I have been having a similar issue with my TV shows. For example, I have the entire 2nd season of Lost and iTunes is syncing the episodes in whatever order it "feels like" {for lack of a better term} usually skipping large portions of the episodes which I had not watched, I even confirmed that the play counts were 0 and that I was syncing the most recent 5 unwatched episodes and it didn't work. It also did this with Beavis and Butt-head as well. What I ended up having to do is setting up the iPod to sync only checked items and then manually checking and unchecking the items I wanted and did not want to sync, and this fixed the issue.
    Hope this helps.

  • RAM issues WHY WON'T THIS WORK??!!

    I bought 1 additional 2Gb stick of RAM for my MacBook Pro 2.16, all information given on Mac website, documentation etc states that this MAC is capable of handling up to 3Gb RAM. But when the new RAM is install it will not boot. I have tried everything I can think of, ensuring that both of the memory slots are good, I have installed the original RAM in the second port, the system boots fine, I have installed the new 2Gb of RAM in the original port, system boots fine, installed the new 2Gb stick in the secondary port, system boots fine, but together nothing. I am sure that the RAM is correct - 2Gig - SO-DIMM DDR2 SDRAM 667Mhz.... Not to mention the system boots fine without the original 1Gb RAM, but honestly I didn't spend the money to have only 2Gb RAM !!
    Has anyone any ideas ??

    Hi AW1979: In doing a little checking, I see that there are 2 versions of the 2.16gHz 17" MacBook Pro. The earlier version is capable of supporting only 2gB of RAM. The second version can support 3gB. Is it possible that yours is the version from Spring/Summer of 2006?

  • Why won't computer detect IPhone 5? I have troubleshooted by trying to restart the device manager. It is in DFU mode

  • Why won't iTunes detect my iPod Nano in the Source Panel?

    I have a Mac OS X Version 10.4.11 and the problem is that my iPod Nano (4th generation) is showing up on the desktop, but not in the iTunes Source Panel. As a result, I can't sync any new songs to my Nano or make any changes to its settings. It had been working perfectly for 14 months on both iTunes 8 and 9. I'm positive that the source of the problem is either the computer itself or iTunes because my iPod works on any other computer that I've tried. We have two other iPods in the house (both iPod Shuffle) and they're both showing up in iTunes without any trouble. I have tried every suggestion on the iPod troubleshooting pages (reseting, reinstalling iTunes, putting into disk mode, updating software, different USB ports, new USB cable...) and none of this works. I even took the iPod to the Apple Retail Store and the best advice they could give me was to replace the iPod. Needless to say, I'd rather not do this since the iPod is working perfectly on its own and on any other Mac that I've tried.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    However, what iOS is on the iPod? If you have iOS 4.1 ( I think) or 4.2 then you need iTunes 10.x that requires OSX 10.5.8 or later.

  • Why won't Mail.app rules won't migrate, System Tiger to System Leopard?

    Hi,
    Mail.app rules won't migrate from System Tiger to System Leopard.
    Here's what I did:
    -- Clean install of System Leopard 10.5.6 onto a new Mac Pro.
    -- Used Migration Assistment to move files from System Tiger to System Leopard 10.5.6.
    -- Mail.app's rules failed to migrate.
    So, I manually finder-copied MessageRules.plist into the proper folder to replace the newly created and empty rules set in System Leopard's mail.app, and afterwards, the rules then showed up in mail's preferences.
    However, the "manually migrated" [finder copied] rules won't run.
    In order to narrow the scope of the problem, I moved the former System Tiger's mail.app rules to the desktop and allowed mail.app to re-create a new rules plist file, then I created a test rule and it worked.
    Questions:
    Why won't System Tiger's mail.app rules files migrate to System Leopard, and won't work upon manual migration?
    What is the remedy to "properly import" the rules to the new [System Leopard based] mail.app, or to make the manually moved rules plist file work?
    For what it's worth I did follow the procedures at
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread....9306&tstart=90
    in order to make the messages migrate, but that failed to affect the rules.
    Thanks much,
    Jack

  • Why won't my internal MATSHITA DVD-RAM LF-D211A mount a blank disc or burn one?

    Why won't my Dual Processor 500 MHz PowerPC G4, with 2 GB SDRAM, running Mac OS X ver. 10.4.11, equipped with an internally mounted MATSHITA DVD-RAM LF-D211A Drive mount or burn a blank CD, DVD-R, or DVD-Ram disc?
    The System Profiler reports as follows:
    MATSHITA DVD-RAM LF-D211A:
      Firmware Revision: A109
      Interconnect: ATAPI
      Burn Support: Yes (Unsupported)
      Profile Path: None
      Cache: 1024 KB
      Reads DVD: Yes

      DVD-Write: -RAM
      Burn Underrun Protection CD: No
      Burn Underrun Protection DVD: No
      Write Strategies:
      Media: No
    What is wrong?
    Can it be corrected?
    If so, how can I correct it?

    I had that machine (PowerMac G4, DP500, Gigabit Ethernet). Expensive and bleeding edge at the time, but the optical drive proved to be of very limited utility. The DVD-RAM will burn only Type 1 and Type 2 DVD-RAM discs. It should also mount and give read-access to Type 1 and Type 2 DVD-RAM, DVD-ROM (including DVD-Video), DVD-R that you've burned on another machine, and CD discs. Here's a long-ago archived info sheet on DVD-RAM technology: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3072.
    When prices for optical drives came down, I replaced the DVD-RAM drive with a more conventional CD/DVD burner.

  • MSI-6380 (KT266) Problem with 512M RAM

    Hello everynone.
    Here is my config:
    MSI - 6380 Motherboard (Via KT266)
    AC '97 Sound is enabled.
    Windows 2000 Pro - SP3
    Matrox G400-32M AGP card
    512M-PC2100 (generic)
    Maxtor 27GB Drive
    Linksys LNE100TX LAN Card
    Liteon 16/10/40 CDRW
    Logitech USB/Optical Mouse
    MSFT - Internet Explorer Pro Keyboard
    I recently swapped out a 256MB module for the 512MB module.  Ever since I did this, the mouse performance is crappy.  For example, the mouse is sitting idle and I go to move it - the mouse does not respond right away like it is asleep, then it works fine.  After I stop moving the mouse, the problem will randomly occur again.
    Is there some sort of issue with 512MB ram modules and this motherboard?  Do I need to tweak some bios setting, or load some new driver?
    Also, if someone couls explain the USER memory configuration to me, maybe I should use 1T timing????
    HELP!!! ?(

    To me there is not a logical relationship between a memory update and mouse response.  Maybe I am asking the obvious, but if you have a mouse with batteries, are these still okay?  My optical/wireless mouse goes to sleep after about 5 minutes to save battery power.  I need to click a button to wake it up.
    The relationship between changing memory module and mouse could be entirely coincidental.
    Memory settings.  I never use SPD, but always user. Start with everything in the slowest setting (usually highest value).  One or max two settings at the time are changed and run a demo like 3Dmax2001 continuously to see if it crashes.
