Problem
Computer and sound was working fine until I upgraded RAM from 2 MB to 6 MB. Then static, screeches, and no real sound.
I see lots of discussion about this problem.
I cannot find a solution. Any help? If I have to buy a new sound card, what is recommended? Computer is for video editing, moderate games. simple 2. speaker system.
Thanks,

Use the search. Its a known driver-problem, Limit the RAM to 3GB via boot.ini and it will work.
Creative knows this error on some nvidia chipsets and does notihng about it.

Popping sound after upgrade to Windows 7 64-bit

I recently upgraded my T61 with Windows 7, 64-bit. I added 2 GB of memory to take it to the max limit of 4GB. However, when I log off, I get a popping sound twice, and when I log in, I hear it once.
I was able to generate the same popping sound when I either mute or unmute the sound on my laptop.Also, when I plug in external speakers into the speaker plug, I get the popping sound as well.
Any idea as to why I'm experiencing this issue? Is there a driver issue? It's not affecting the performance of my laptop, but it is very annoying and didn't happen when I had 2 GB and Windows XP Professional (32-bit)
Thanks

Hello,
You mentioned that you upgraded the operating system to the 64-bit edition of Microsoft Windows 7. Did you install over a previous operating system, such as the 64-bit edition of Windows Vista, or perform a clean install of Windows 7?

if it's restarting directly into an error, you can try troubleshooting (might be painful) or re-install windows with boot camp

No sound after upgrading to Windows 8 HP G60-553NR Notebook

I recently upgraded to Windows 8 from Windows 7 64-bit on my HP G60-553NR and went through 3 tiers of tech support with Windows because after upgrading to Windows 8 Pro.... I had no sound coming from my speakers from my notebook nor will sound play when headphones are plugged in. Windows Tech support said that there are no compatable sound drivers to download, which leaves me with no sound completely which is no bueno. So, is there a driver that I can download that will work on my notebook?! If not, how do I downgrade to Windows 7. I'm a DJ and I really need some sound like asap. Thanks in advance for your assistance. Thanks

Do an HP system recovery to get back.
If you have discs - put first in and boot.
If not, you can go into settings from CHarms and advanced to select recover. Here's more: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03489643

No sound after upgrading to Windows 7 M55-S3293

I upgraded to Windows 7 and installed the drivers from Toshiba for my sound card and before installing checked the windows XP box under the compatibility tab. No sound. I did windows update for this driver and it installed an updated driver. No sound. I went to Realtek and installed the windows 7 generic driver for this sound card (thats all manufacturer's offer is a generic driver) and LOW sound. Now I rebooted and back to No sound.
Before windows 7 sound, after no sound.
Toshiba put out a fix for a contextant audio driver for the low sound problem to be corrected with windows 7 but I cannot find anything for my computer.
I don't know know what to do! I don't want to go back to using XP but sound is REALLY important. I would think this is an integrated sound card (Toshiba isn't making service manuals public anymore, it was there the other day and gone today) so I cannot remove it. I don't think I have any available PCI slots to install a new one internally and I don't want extrenal speakers since I do a lot of traveling.
Is there a fix I don't know about? What can I do? Please HELP!!!

Hi Ryan,
Go here: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/downloadDetail.jsp?soid=1671893&pf=true
and download the software called "Sound Utility to Turn Mute Off After Upgrading to Vista", it is made for people that upgrade to VISTA, however, once you have all your Toshiba updates installed by downloading the Toshiba updates, then apply this update to your Windows7 system and the problem will resolve.
I don't know why they did not make this update part of the Toshiba Update Package.
I hope this helps,
best,
Alejandro

Will not boot after adding RAM?

I just added another 512mb chip to my PB G4 upper slot. After adding the RAM, my PB will not boot/ load the OS. When I press the power button, the HD (i think) begins to run, but stops after about 2 seconds. I can't get it to do anything else. Please help.

Have you taken the new RAM stick out yet?
Powerbooks can pretty picky when it comes to RAM.

Weird pop sound after upgrading ram and harddrive

I randomly got the pop sound after I upgraded my mac mini core 2 duo to 320 gb 5400 rpm harddrive and 4 GB ram (2GBx2GB).
The sound is like a plastic click (similar sound when I the wireless mice hit the aluminum wireless keyboard) and it's quite loud.
Everything works fine except the pop sound ,Im a bit worried.
First I thought it was the hard drive problem so I copied the 3 GB music from the CD to the newly 320 GB internal HD with no problem at all ,no pop sound or click sound.
Do you have any idea where the sound come from?
Please help

I will try to swap the 80Gb back .
If the clicking sound disappear then it's the HD.
No, that's not the best way to test it. Leaving the new drive in the system, try and copy a large file to or from it. What that will do is keep the drive busy for the duration of the file copy, and let you listen for the noise. If the noise continues while the copy is taking place, and particularly if it increases in frequency, it would suggest a problem with the drive that is not a simple matter of self-parking - in other words, would be suggestive of a faulty drive that you would likely be best not to trust at all (in fact return it).
If the sound disappears while the copy takes place, then it suggests the noise is the self-parking activity, in which case as much as the noise is odd and even disturbing, it wouldn't suggest a fault or any real indication of imminent failure.
It should be said that many drives used in early minis made the most alarming sounds, yet are still in regular use with no unusual failure rate. Indeed, one of the manufacturers concerned (Seagate) indicated at one point that over time the sounds would change and grow less prolific, which in my experienced turned out to be the case. In your situation therefore, I'd continue to use the drive, ensuring I had an adequate backup routine of course, and see what happens!

Speed issue after adding RAM

Hello all,
I recently upgraded RAM on my IMac from 4gb to 16gb. I practically see no difference. My FCPX version is 10.0.9 Rendering takes forever. Am I missing something? Do I need to reconfigure iMac?
Any suggestion is highly appreciated

Am I missing something?
Yes. Adding RAM may not provide any noticeable change.
About OS X Memory Management and Usage
Using Activity Monitor to read System Memory & determine how much RAM is used
Understanding top output in the Terminal
The amount of available RAM for applications is the sum of Free RAM and Inactive RAM. This will change as applications are opened and closed or change from active to inactive status. The Swap figure represents an estimate of the total amount of swap space required for VM if used, but does not necessarily indicate the actual size of the existing swap file. If you are really in need of more RAM that would be indicated by how frequently the system uses VM. If you open the Terminal and run the top command at the prompt you will find information reported on Pageins () and Pageouts (). Pageouts () is the important figure. If the value in the parentheses is 0 (zero) then OS X is not making instantaneous use of VM which means you have adequate physical RAM for the system with the applications you have loaded. If the figure in parentheses is running positive and your hard drive is constantly being used (thrashing) then you need more physical RAM.
Adding RAM only makes it possible to run more programs concurrently. It doesn't speed up the computer nor make games run faster. What it can do is prevent the system from having to use disk-based VM when it runs out of RAM because you are trying to run too many applications concurrently or using applications that are extremely RAM dependent. It will improve the performance of applications that run mostly in RAM or when loading programs.

Sound Driver Issues on Windows xp 64 bit

Lately I've been working in a dualboot setup with the Lenovo N200 0769 AUU and running Windows 7 64 Bit and Windows xp 64 Bit. To my surprise, Windows 7 grabbed many drivers for the various hardware from the internet, but Windows xp did not fare as well (I couldn't even boot the setup disc without "Slipstreaming" some SATA Hard Drive drivers). At this point I've pieced together from various sources everything but the sound. The Display works - kind of; When I look in the Device manager, I seee two items under "Display Adapters" - "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" and "Video Controller", both of which have little yellow exclamation points next to them. Every time I boot it says "Found New Hardware" and names the correct graphics chip, and I tell it where to find the drivers, it goes through the little "copying" thing all right, but says "Failed" on the very last screen.
The sound drivers are something else. It is currently identified as "Audio Device on high definition audio bus" under "Sound, video and Game controllers" with a little Yellow exclamation point next to it as well. Says "Code 28 - The Drivers are not installed". This is where things get downright weird. You can click "update driver" under the drivers tab, but nothing happens. Nothing at all. Nothing comes up asking where to look for to find the drivers. I've tried pushing "uninstall", but it just gives me this crap: "Failed to uninstall device. The Device May be required to boot up the computer".
These are becoming serious problems, so if anyone has any advice, that would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hmmm... I was thinking more along the lines of a repair instalaltion. I believe these systems originally came with Windows xp or that other Os that came between xp and 7, so I would think that since it makes best sense to bundle a 64 bit OS with a 64 bit computer, that there must've been drivers somewhere along the line.

64bit OS became mainstream after vista came in,earlier the CPU manufacturers introduced 64bit architectures to ensure that future Operating systems will run on them. You can still use a 32 bit app on a 64 bit version of Vista or Windows 7 though.If you have any such need to run an app for XP install Win7 6bit and use the older on it,should run fine..

Photoshop CC not detect nVidia GeForce GTX 680 after driver upgrade (Windows 8 64-bit)

i just upgraded the driver for my nVidia GeForce 680 graphics card from the nVidia website. the specifications are shown below. Photoshop CC now says that it can't detect my graphics card. does anyone know the solution to this problem?
nVidia verstion 327.23 WHQL
release date: Sept 9, 2013
operating system: windows 8 64-bit
will adobe have to issue an update to photoshop CC to fix the problem?

hey chris,
thx for relplying. i appreciat it. here is what happened. i did an update through microsoft and downloaded a driver for nVidia. somehow that download caused PS CC to stop recognizing my GTX 680. i'm not sure why. subsequent to that, i went to nVidia's website and downloaded the current driver. i still found that PS CC didn't "see" my graphics card. that is when i wrote this post. after i posted this i rebooted my computer and found that everything now works fine. PS CC now recognizes my GeForce GTX 680 with no problems.

No DHCP after fresh install Windows 7 64 bit

OK so we are upgrading out computer to windows 7. A particular model has gave me some really wierd issues. it is a lenovo 7844B4U. After a fresh install off the cd of windows 7 64 bit dhcp does not work and if we leave the cable plugged in it overloads
the network. It has the right drivers and nothing seems to work, only a static ip works. Now we have the 32 bit image of Win 7 that came with the box. if we install that then DHCP work just fine and it work. It only happens to this particulr model. I have
tested on 3 different boxes.

I'm a bit confused: you put a hard drive with an -identical- 64-bit install of Windows 7 from a non-working machine into another non-working machine and it begins to work correctly? Or is it a different 64-bit build of Windows 7? Or is it something else
altogether? It seems odd that an identical build on identical hardware would work on one machine but not both - something has to be different, I think.
If you have DHCP set up with registered MAC addresses, and if these machines originally all had static addresses, are you sure their MACs are registered correctly? And, if they have multiple NICs, are all of the NICs MAC adresses registered? If only one
of multiple is registered, are you connecting to that one?
Is DHCP newly implemented, or has it been around for a while? If it has been around, then was there a reason those XP builds had their IP addresses set statically?
Ok let me try to explain it a little better. I have 3 computer all the same models 7844B4U. I have 3 hard drives that work in the same model. Hard drive 1 has XP installed and had a static IP set. Hard drive 2 has our custom 64bit image of windows 7. and Hard
drive 3 has a same image that came with the computer when we got them which is Windows 7 32 bit. the xp image had a static ip and was done before my time here so I have no idea why they gave it an ip or what. Now computer 1 and computer 2 will not pick up
dhcp. Those 2 had static ips set in the computer. Computer 3 will pick up dhcp. No matter which of the 3 hard drives I put in computer 1 and 2 dhcp will not work. Now if i put all 3 hard drive in computer 3 they all pick up dhcp. And computer 3 never had a
static ip set before.

After rebooting my Windows Vista 64 bit system, could not access iTunes; after uninstalling I tried reinstalling, but it has been running for more than 24 hrs. Should I cancel installation?

I had been updating my Windows Vista 64 bit system and as a result of a problem, had to reboot my system. Afterwards, I was no longer able to access iTunes. I got a message stating that there was a problem with some of the files associated with the application. A phone rep at Apple's Customer Service provided me with emails linking instructions on completely uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. I did the uninstall, then checked for lingering iTunes files and couldn't completely remove some, but tried intalling the latest version of iTunes. It has been running for roughly 24 hours. The status bar is green all the way across, and when I try to cancel, I get the following message: "Are you sure you want to cancel iTunes installation?" I keep hitting "no," but am staring to wonder if there is a problem with the install. Should it take this long if I have roughly 134 gigs of music? I can still see the music in my computer's C drive, so I am worried that there is an error, perhpas because I didn't clear out all the lingering C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ and all the lingering C:\Program Files\iTunes\. Any thoughts?

It is not just the HP. I have 3 HP computes and 2 Dell computers. 2 of the HP and 1 Dell suffer the iTunes internet block. Took me a while to figure it out also. But, the one thing that is different on the Dell, is that I can leave iTunes installed and not open it and everything works. As soon as I open it, internet access goes down. BUT secure sites (https:) works fine.
