P45 platinium and OCZ DDR2 PC2-8500 problems w/ 4 x 1 gig but not 2 x 1
I have an MSI P45 Platinum with 2 gigs (2 x 1 gig) running at 5-5-5-15, 1:1.2 1066/800 voltage on auto and it's passing Memtest86 tonight. I will keep iot running all night. This system was stable till I tried adding 2 more gigs for a toal of 4 x 1 gig. It will not POSt with all chips installed. I tried everything and MSI is not a big help. OCZ told me to do 6-6-6-18 at 2.1 - 2.2v and run it at 800 and maybe raise the NB voltage up to 1.4v. None of that worked.
The system just will not POSt with 4 chips installed. I am memtesting the new RAM chips all night.
This really pisses me off. What happend to the days when you just stick the memory in and all auto settings were fine. I am not an over clocker, I just want my PC to work!
HELP!
CPU is a Q9550
kourosh,
It did not work.
Anyway OCZ told me (via online support portal) that since the memory kits don't work together, I should contact the seller (NewEgg) and try to exchange for matching memory. I repeated my my statement in fact that they do work when mixed... just not all 4 gigs. They replied with the same comment, albeit more detailed. I repeated the fact and asked them to make it clear that they can do nothing more for me. They tod me again that since the memory kits don't work together and they past my Memtests, they are not defective so they can't grant an RMA. I repeated the fact (AGAIN) that they do work together. I am waiting for another reply. I think I am done with this company's memory for future purchases. I just want them to be straight and they can't even do that. I'd have more respect for them and prbably make future purchases if they were just straight forward. After all, Business is Business.

MSI P7N SLI Platinum and OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 SLI-Ready Edition
Hello,
I have a MSI P7N SLI Platinum nForce 750i SLI motherboard and I would like to inquire if it is fully compatible with OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 SLI-Ready Edition memory? Firstly, I do not seem to get the correct timings with the default settings, speed is not very good, after 5 hours of running Memtest86+ there was 30 errors. I have never had the memory crash and games seem to run fine, but the memory feels much slower than it should be. Is the memory supposed to work fine with this motherboard and I'm just imagining everything? I don't know if I'm also supposed to be worried by the errors Memtest86+ returned?
Thank you in advance for any help.Quote from: Del UK on 07-September-08, 05:44:14
If memtest returned errors, yes
Well, there does not have to be a problem with the memory just because it returned errors. There could be many other explanations why there are errors.

Jacobl, please post full system specs. Read the >>Posting Guide<< to get an idea of the details you should provide.
How many modules of what capacity do you have? What are your current RAM-related BIOS settings?
If you have more than one stick of RAM, please test each stick seperately with memtest86+ and see if the errors are caused by one of the sticks only. Otherwise there is no way to tell if there is a compatibility problem or just a faulty memory stick.
Please post a link to the OCZ product site and also a screenshot of the CPU-Z "SPD" tab.
I have this memory: http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/memory/ocz_ddr2_pc2_6400_sli_ready_edition_4gb_dual_channel.
This is the rest of the components as instructed by the forum post you linked to:
Intel E8200
MSI P7N SLI Platinum
OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 SLI-Ready Edition 4GB Dual Channel
Gigabyte Geforce 8800GT 512MB PCI
500GB Western Digital SATA
SATA DVD burner
Windows XP SP3
Antec 500W PSU
I usually troubleshoot components step by step - eliminating all possible reasons until I have found the solution. My first step was to post here to find out if there are any known compatibility issues with the motherboard and memory. I adjusted the memory timings with a slight overclock because the motherboard did not load the default timings by default. I will start by adjusting the BIOS settings, check if the memory is inserted into the right DIMM slots and then test the memory sticks one by one. But to answer my own question: I think the motherboard and memory should have no compatibility issues and it must be something else.

I have the OCZ 6400 Fatal1ty modules 2x2 GB that is very similar of the ones you ask.And they are running perfectly but i must set the epp latency and voltaje values in BIOS! The simple modules of ocz are in the memory compatibilty list i thought that the SLI and Falal1ty modules are just the same with a little boost.
I had to set the right timings also. As far as I know, the SLI and Fatal1ty modules are probably the same, just with a little boost. I think it would be very strange if a module with the name "SLI-Ready Edition" and a Nforce 750i motherboard would not be compatible together.
Anyway, any other advice on what steps I should take? I assume by now that the motherboard and memory should work together without problem. Sorry if I started out bad by not following the posting guidelines on the forum. -
hello my name is kirstie, i updated to firmware 4.2.1 .....my iphone 3g stays on the apple logo for about 4 minutes then flashes white and goes back to the apple screen, it repeats untill battery is flat, every now and then im lucky enough to get it to turn on but not very often and then it freezes and repeats the same problem?? (if i turn the phone off my pressing the two buttons it wont keep rebooting, its only when i leave it after turning it on)
I have reset the phone, full firmware restore, even downgraded back from firmware 4.2.1 to .3.1.3 official by using dfu mode and still doesnt fix.
(i correctly got out of dfu mode after the downgrade)
i can enter dfu mode and recovery, and update through itunes with no problem, but it doesnt fix the problem,
i have searched and found no answer to this problem, every option availible to try that i know of i have tried and failed. i dont care about preserving my content i just want a fix. i have a good understanding how to operate software on a computer and shouldnt be too confused by any advice given, so plz even if the answer is very complex i wish to try anything, please help me to get my iphone working.Anyone have any suggestions? or is everyone else just as clueless as me !

unable to log into iMatch using Apple Id and password. Msg says i have valid Id for store but not iMatch. What to do?
Is there a way to reset iMatch username and password?An Apple ID which consists of a non-Apple address can perfectly well be used to create and sign into an iCloud account (most Apple ID's take this form). Your problem is that you can't create an iCloud account on Windows: you can only do it on a Mac or an iOS device. Once created on one of those you can sign into it on Windows using the iCloud Control Panel.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

I have Photoshop Elements 9. I downloaded the plug in 6.0 and it works on the RAW files from Canon EOS 60D, but not with Canon EOS 70D. I cannot download higher versions of plug in, because I have Windows Vista and it is not supported.
You could try using the DNG converter 8.7 on Windows vista:
<Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.7>
<Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Adobe DNG Converter 8.7>
You then need to watch this video to get hang of it:

Why do only some photos appear in iCloud folder on my PC and not all taken on iPhone appear on iPad either? All settings seem correct and new photos now seem to be appearing on all devices, but not all older or recent photos, even if taken at same time. All advice greatly appreciated.
First, to access documents you must use an app designed for that specific Document type. So Pages will not be able to open PDFs. The Documents app by Readdle can handle PDFs though. In the latter case, you'd open the app, click the menu icon at its top left, and click Open to go to your iCloud Drive. With Pages, if you had files outside the main Pages folder, click + then iCloud and navigate to the file's location.

If so, then you can buy a third party program to extract the music not purchased from itunes.

Is it possible to use the migration assistant to transfer only some documents and data? For example, I was to transfer my music, but not my word documents. There doesn't seem to be any options to customise what you are transferring - its all or nothing

Yes, that's why I recommend one have more than TimeMachine as a backup because if certain files or folders are corrupted on the TM drive, your not logging into your migrated user account or not be able to transfer it what so ever.
Then it's a REAL PAIN and costs $99 to bit read the TM drive to get the files out, then it's mess to go through and sort all the empty placeholders from the real files as TM doesn't save duplicates in each state, just uses the previous state's copy if there are no changes.
If you create the same named user account on the new machine, and simply transfer files via a USB thumb drive and place say music contents into the Music folder, then it will work too.
Look into making clones of your boot drive, the benefit here is it's bootable, you can access the drive directly to pick and choose files, run the computer just like before etc.
