MSi GT60 0NE Ram upgrade

Hi, I've just bought The MSi GT60.
Everything are running smooth, and I'm thinking of upgrading my RAM.
It comes with a 2x4GB RAM and I want to upgrade it to 16GB of RAM.
So here's the RAM that comes with my GT60:
I'm planning to upgrade it with Vengeance® — 4GB High Performance Laptop Memory Upgrade Kit (CMSX4GX3M1A1600C9).
Can I upgrade it with 2x Vengeance® — 4GB so i could have 16gb (Will it decrease the performance)? Or should I discard the one that comes with the notebook and replace all of it with the Corsairs Vangeance?

Quote from: Warner on 20-October-12, 09:00:21
The laptop can support up to 32GB total if i7 processor is used.
DDR3-1333/1600 are supported by the processor.
Try to use identical memory modules in the system to allow better compatibility.
Sincerely,
Warner
Ok, thanks...

MSI GT660 Upgrade CPU and/or GPU

I've searched the forum(and net) for this question but came up empty. Is it possible to upgrade MSI GT660's CPU(current i7-740QM) and/or GPU(current GTX-285M)? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Any idea if GPU on it is MXM 3.0 B(like on GX660) or a different type? If its possible - which(better) CPU/GPU are available that would fit?
Thanks in advance!!!
P.S. If anyone needs any help on upgrading RAM or HDD/SDD on this model - post your question here as i have done both(went to 10GB(4/4/2) of RAM, upgraded HDD to faster Samsung M4 and added 120Gb Sata6G SSD to 2nd bay) and will be glad to walk you through this(quite simple) process.
Update: SOmeone send me a link to this - http://50.22.71.151/store/msi-nvidia-gtx-560m-1-5g-gddr5-mxm-3b-graphics-card.html
And accoring to it GT660 is in fact MXM v3.0 B compatible. Just want to confirm it before pulling the trigger though(also would prefer a bit faster card since 560m is not much faster than my gtx-285m(well not faster to justify the upgrade price), was hoping to get AMD 6970M(or 6990 perhaps) if thats compatible with my system(already have 150w PSU)

Hi,
The following book shows you CPU's supported from day one:
h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02641795.pdf
I don't think you can upgrade the GPU unless buying a new motherboard and many things.
Regards.

I7 640m on a msi gt660

Hello,
I own an MSI GT660 laptop.
It came with a i7 740qm processor.
I just bought an i7 640m processor.
I get a black screen.
I flashed the latest BIOS e16f1ims.10L
Same thing.
The laptop uses the intel PM55 chipset which is listed as compatible with both processors:
Any hope of getting this to work?
The i7 640m has AES encryption built-in, thus the reason for the upgrade.
Can you patch the firmware for this?
I don't mind donating. How much do you need donated?

Quote from: DieUMaggots on 06-September-14, 18:24:01
ok,
Return the donation then.
I really want this cpu to run.
If you say that 3.0L will run on a non-raid system then I will give it a try.

yes 3.0L also works fine
Quote from: DieUMaggots on 06-September-14, 18:29:09
I have an idea about why it is not displaying anything.
This processor , the i7 640m, has a built-in intel video chip.
Perhaps it is trying to display the output to the screen with that chip rather than the gtx285m in my machine.
Everything works, the breathing effect, i can eject the cd, the buttons all work across the top so the bios is running.
Anyway to disable that onboard video?
Quote
Anyway to disable that onboard video?
with unlocked bios eventually you can select IGD/PEG as primary graphic config, its PEG by default
but i don't what would the effect from this.
else onboard intel card can't be disable else you can't see anything on the screen

Memory modules can we use for RAM upgrade of HP Pavilion dv5-1198de??

What memory modules can we use for RAM upgrade of HP Pavilion dv5-1198de??
Max RAM? Vista? Windows 7?

I can't find a dv5-1198de but I did find a dv5-1198er which should be similiar. It states up to 8 gb of ram. HERE
I would try www.Crucial.com for suggested memory ,you can use their Scanner Tool to let it detect what you have and what you can upgrade/replace with.

First go to the RIM web site and look to see if they have an uninstaller for the device you had. Some times a reinstall of the application and then running the uninstaller is required for complete removal.
If no uninstaller is available, then you will have to use Spotlight to find all items with 'Blackberry' and 'Rim' in the titles. I would also download EasyFind and use that to locate such files. Often it will locate items that Spotlight misses.
Ciao.

HP Envy 13 1030nr. Windows 7 64-bit. RAM upgrade help.

I just purchased a RAM upgrade for my Envy 13 and I was trying to figure out how exactly to access the memory module. I couldn't find a youtube video for the Envy 13 and reading the maintenance manual provides only partial instructions to access the memory module. It tells you what you need to do (Disconnect the TouchPad cable 2 from the low insertion force (LIF) connector on the system board) but not how to do it without damaging the computer. I don't want to permanently sever a cable or anything so I'm looking for help via a link to a video or more detailed instructions on exactly how to safely access the memory module.
I was under the impression that this would be a quick replacement, but the more I read the manual, the more I think that this is going to be a little more complicated than opening up the bottom and removing the current RAM chip and replacing it with the one I have. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Here is the Manual:
Manual
Memory is indeed on the motherboard and getting there requires nearly complete disassembly. See Page 4-26. Not sure how this qualifies as "easy" and if you have not done this before you should get some help. And yes, keep careful track of those screws.

Hard Drive and RAM upgrades for latest 15" MBP

I'm minutes from ordering a new MBP. Only concerns are whether I get hte Apple upgrades or shop around.
I like this Hard Drive...
http://www.compu2000.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=6433
And this RAM upgrade...
http://www.a-power.com/product-10937-311-4
If these are equivalent to the apple options I can save hundreds and get a 320 GB drive, which will make a great portable.
So, does my plan hold water?

You're on your own for support when you do your own upgrades like this, but generally speaking, it works fine.
Note that HDD is less risky than RAM. With RAM you run the risk of unstable behavior that is tougher to diagnose. That said, a quality RAM upgrade and some initial testing with any of many available tools is as good as a factory build.
HDD upgrades are less risky, and I've upgraded (well, replaced after HDD death) ones in my MBPs many many times. I crunch my hard drives more than normal and have to generally replace them about every year. Some of the MBPs don't make this easy, and prepare to get all sorts of cozy with little 0 and 1 sized Phillips screwdrivers and some T6 as well, but it is doable (just not quite for the truly faint of heart).
Again, you're on your own for support once you do this, so weigh that in your decision.

This is the regular status of the memory of my macbook pro. Do you think I need a RAM upgrade?

Hi there,
I'm hoping to seek the expert views of the community here.
I have a MacBook Pro, Late 2011, 17 inch. Running latest version of Mavericks. Speed seems to have slowed somewhat, perhaps since I upgraded to Mavericks, but not certain about that. Based on my research of the Apple communities, I suspect that I may benefit from a RAM upgrade.
Attached are a few screen shots to assist:
Based on what I have researched in the community, the fact that I have used 3.99GB of 4.00GB, and have used 5.63GB of Virtual memory, seems to suggest to me that I have well and truly maxed out my RAM. Also there is a high number of read ins/outs (but it had been a wheile since I last did a restart on the MBP (if that has any effect on these numbers here).
I have also read that my model of MacBook Pro is upgradeable to 16GB of RAM (2 x 8GB).
Thoughts and views from the community would be greatly appreciated. Will additional RAM help the speed and performance of my MacBook Pro?
Many thanks.

More RAM is always a Prudent move...

Video will not play on Canvas or NTSC after RAM upgrade

editing on a G5 v. 10.4.11, Dual 1.8 Ghz G5 with a recent upgrade to 4GB of ram. Have an AJA IO LA
After the RAM upgrade, FCP timeline will play but video is black in the canvas and image is frozen on the NTSC. Video WILL play in Viewer but no audio.
All cables have been checked to make sure they were put back correctly - will keep checking for errors in re-cabling computer.
Have tried refreshing displays and other tests with displays. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

pull the ram, problem goes away? - bad ram
you can pull 2 sticks at a time to isolate which chip it is.
did you get it from a good source - Crucial.com is my favorite, OWC is popular too - both have lifetime warranty

24" iMac (Primo 2009) strange RAM upgrade issue

I have a 24" iMac (Primo 2009) at work. I been granted a RAM upgrade by the IT department and have received 2 indentical 4 GB modules.
The 24" iMac (Primo 2009) uses 1066 MHz DDR3 modules and supports up to 8 GB RAM in 2 slots. I have purchased RAM from this source http://www.dustin.dk/product/5010642132/corsair-4gb-ddr3-1066mhz-1x4gb-so-dimm-i mac-macbook-macpro/#intcmp=searchProvider_SiteSeeker (Corsair Mac Memory so they SHOULD be fine.)
Here's the issue:
I had 2x 2GB modules. I have taken both out.
I have inserted the new 2x 4GB modules but the machine refuses to boot. It gives off 3 beeps-interval-3 beeps-interval (repeats).
I took out one of the 4GB modules from slot B. It boots.
I inserted the one I removed in slot B again so we're back at 8GB. same beeps. No boot.
I switched the 2 4GB modules from slot A+B around. Now beep-interval-beep-interval (repeats) No boot.
I inserted one 4 GB in slot 1, and one of the old 2 GB in slot 2. It boots with 6GB RAM.
I inerted only the one that won't boot when in slot B in slot A, beep-interval-beep-interval (repeats) No boot.
OK - so logical deduction tells me one of the new 4GB RAM modules is defective. No matter what configuration, booting fails with that specific module inserted, though there are different beeps. I also know tha both slots work since the machine works with 6 GB RAM (2+4).
So I called Dustin, and since we're a big customer they sent a new moduel for free. But, I have the same isssue with the new module!! What are the chances I have recived 1 working and 2 defective modules? not big right? So my iMac seems fine with the old 2GB modules and one of the new 4 GB modules, but says no to the 2 other 4GB modules.
YES - I have tried resetting PRAM and SMC to no avail. Any clue?

Switched the 2 modules around, so there's now a 2GB in slot A and a 4 GB in slot B. Still works fine

Kernel Power error after Win 7 and RAM upgrade

Hello,
I posted earlier on the subject of win7 and ram upgrades. I did both and it seemed to go fine. I did the ram first ... replaced a 667Mhz 1gb with a 800Mhz 2gb. A couple of days later the computer just shut itself down and restarted. Since then it has done it another 5 times, seemingly at random. Yesterday I decided to spend some time looking into it and found the 'event log'. All the shutdowns are recorded as 'critical'. A search on the web/here showed other occurences of the fault associated with drivers as much as anything.
After I did the win update I did update almost every driver with ones from this site.
Other than the shutdowns the only issues I have which are of very mild concern are the length of time the fingerprint reader takes to be present and that occasionally the cursor is unavailable for about a minute after logging on. When you try and control it it jumps about anywhere but where you want it to go. I rolled back the alps driver and that seems to have sorted the cursor issue.
So, details of the shutdown from the event log are as follows.

There's more (I've shown it all below) but it's not that important. When I looked into it I found details of the problem on the microsoft knowledge base. Its described here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2028504.
I believe I fit into scenario 3 for cause and resolution.
So, it seems that win7 and mixed speed ram may be a problem on some computers ... probably only a tiny number, but it looks like the HP3507 is one of them. I did see somewhere that I could down speed from 667 to 266 which might help with memory compatability but I can't see anywhere on the the insydeH20 bios where to do it. BIOS is version F18 .... upgraded from F15 as part of the Win7/RAM ugrade.
Before I swap back to the 'old' memory I'll see if anybody here can come up with any ideas. It may be that I have to sell off the expensive 2gb memory (ddr2 800mhz 200 pin) for £39.99 from maplin at a bargain price and get 2gb of 667Mhz from somewhere.
The full 'detail' regarding the fault is below.
Bye for now.

Hi DWeiland and Schwede,
Thanks for your replies. Yes I did the runtime engine registry change and also mass compiled the LV7.1 folder and my sourcecode. I still see the problem as I have set the LV adapter as Lv 7.1.1 runtime engine. Now I have changed it to LV7.1 development system. With this setting, it is not giving any error. Thus I don’t see any problem now. The older version of the code had the adapter as the runtime engine for some reason, now I have changed the setting to the development system. I hope that it shouldn’t be a problem.
Thanks again!
Thank you,
Sasi

Mac pro 5,1 RAM Upgrade

I am planning to give my Mac Pro (Mid 2010) another RAM upgrade. As the official Kingston/Crucial DIMMs do not include 16GB DIMMs, I think of choosing Kingston Value RAM: ECC Registered (3x, 16GB, DDR3-1600, DIMM 240). Has anyone here in the forum tried these?
Thanks for your comments.

The biggest official Kingston part is KTA-MP1333/8g which is a single 8GB module.
For 16GB modules the main criteria are that
It must be registered memory - not buffered, this is more because there aren't any 16GB buffered DIMMS
You cannot mix registered and buffered so any other existing memory left fitted must also be registered, as it happens you are supposed to not mix 16GB with smaller sizes anyway
It should be 1333Mhz DDR3 although in theory 1066Mhz DDR3 would work, again I don't believe there are any 16GB 1066Mhz DIMMS
It should be ECC (error correcting)
CL9
The presence of a Thermal Sensor is apparently not compulsory, i.e. memory without it will work in a Mac Pro.
I have not used any 16GB DIMMS myself but other than OWC as per the link provided by Illaass, the following might be suitable
KVR13R9D4K4/64i - this is a kit of 4 x 16GB and this article has a post from someone who says they worked for them http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1493588
If you can find a kit of 2 x 16GB of the same type then logically they should also work, they would probably be KVR13R9D4K2/32i. As a reminder to do 64GB or more you need dual processors. The single processor model Mac Pro 2010 is limited to 48GB.
See http://www.kingston.com/datasheets/KVR13R9D4K2_32I.pdf

Display problem after RAM Upgrade to MS6712

Hi there,
after a RAM upgrade (512mb to 3GB) my PC has developed a display problem. The graphics are slow / rippled and video playback is very poor. In device manager no "display adapters" are present and there is also an error mesage referring to the VIA CPU to AGP2/AGP3.0 controller not having enough free resources to run due to a conflisct with VGAsave? I've downloaded the latest VIA chipset drivers to no effect?
System info: MS6712 MB, AMD Athlon 1.25GHZ, XP SP3.0

OK, here's the info on my PSU;
It's a Powerman FSP250-60GTU(PF). Input: 230V - 5A, 50Hz. Max Output: 250W
While I had the case open I took out 2 of the RAM modules and without making any other changes everything appeared to work fine with just the 1GB, so I tried putting 1 more back in to take it to 2GB and again all seems fine? Does this indeed point to my PSU then? If so and it works fine with 2GB should I be thankfull for a 512mb to 2GB upgrade and send the 3rd module back to Crucial??
Before I posted this thread I did run a memtest from Memtest86+ with all three modules installed and it came up with NO problems?
Re Henry's post, I searched using the format of the part no on the RAM modules themselves i.e. M368L2923FLN-CB3 and it took me here:

Other info on printed the modules themselves: 1GB DDR PC2700 CL2.5
According to Everest my CPU temp (with 2GB installed) is: 43 degrees (MOBO 30 degrees and HD 42 degrees) - do these seem normal?
