P45 Platinum, Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, 8GB DDR2 PC8500 Problem

Anyone else experiencing this problem? or have a solution.
I tested Windows 7 Beta; I basically built a computer to test it.
Intel Quad Core P6600
MSI P45Platinum Motherboard Supports Max of 16BG & BIOS updated to current
4GB of Corsair (2 x 2GB) TWIN2X4096-8500C5DF (Native 1066MHz Overclocked DRAMS)
500 GB Western Digital SATAII
HIS HD 4850 512MB GDDR3 Video Card
No problem with Windows 7 Ultimate Beta 64-bit and Windows 7 Ultimate RC1 and finally Windows 7 Ultimate – Retail (RTM) 64-bit Boots in 15 seconds.
So I figure if 4 GB is great, then 8BG should be spectacular, So, I purchased an additional 4GB of Corsair (2 x 2GB) TWIN2X4096-8500C5DF memory and installed to fully populate my 4 dual channel slots.
To my dismay, my system boot time increased to 30 seconds and then the system became unstable and exhibited random crashes with all sort of page file and system errors.
I removed and swap the new 4GB memory for the old it boots and operates fine.
So then I thought maybe it was bad memory so I interchanged new 4GB for the existing 4GB and it worked fine. It seem to be an issue with installing more than 4GB.
I then searched the Internet for a solution and discovered this 8GB issue is a known problem with Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit with no solution in sight. Some seem to think it is a hardware issue and other seem to think its an software issue with Windows 7 Ultimate – 64-bit.
I have seen some info indicating that installing 8GB of DDR22 PC-6400 doesn't have the problem.
Thanks in Advance

The MB specifications state clearly that 1066 and above is OC only.

Overclocking
This mainboard is designed to support overclocking. However, please make
sure your components are able to tolerate such abnormal setting, while
doing overclocking. Any attempt to operate beyond product specifications is
not recommended. We do not guarantee the damages or risks caused
by inadequate operation or beyond product specifications.
That means its up the user to determine if they want to try/risk the OC condition. No stability is guaranteed. Every manual states that OC is not recommended and at your own risk, possibly voiding the guarantee. How much more should the manufacturers do in terms of stating what is regarded as OC and that its risky? All the P45 chipset boards with DDR2 state the same in terms of 1066 being an OC, no matter from which manufacturer.
Yes, with tweaking some are lucky to run at the OC speeds, but probably above the chipset, Ram and CPU recommended voltages. The more memory you add the more stress on the memory controller and subsequently an increased chance of instability, especially at the OC speeds.

Windows 7 64-bit 8GB RAM doesn't start after installing X-Fi drivers

I have Windows 7 64 bit, 8GB RAM for a few months. After inserting an X-Fi Platinum Fatalty Champion Series (S/N MASB046A83R0772D; OP BN 06SB046A00005 Rev A) and installing Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi series driver 2.8.003 dated 26 Jun 09. The sounds plays OK, but after rebooting Windows doesn't start, with a CorruptRegistry error. I have installed Windows from scratch, but it only works until I install the X-Fi driver and reboot. Please help. I have searched the internet and found no solution to my problem besides a Wikipedia article that X-Fi has problem with 64-bit Vista with 4GB RAM or more.

Hi, I am also running windows 7 ultimate 64 with the same sound card and am using the july 5 driver. It works but i cant use the creative control panel as i get a black screen on start-up and when i uninstall the contol panel windows functions normally. I may have to go with the onboard sound to get all 4 speakers to work. I have 6 Gb of ram on a gigabyte X58 Mobo.

I am running windows 8, 64 bit, & suddenly have a problem opening files, I have to keep re-booting

I am running windows 8, 64 bit, & suddenly have a problem opening files, I have to keep re-booting - is there anything in preferences I can change?

The clipboard error means that the OS or some other application messed up when placing data on the clipboard.
The reboot to open files means that something has gone wrong at the OS level (otherwise just relaunching Photoshop would work). We've heard from a few other users with that problem, but never heard back from them what was wrong with their system to cause that behavior. My guess is a bad driver or malware.

Windows 7 64 bit on iMac display problems and instability

I received my iMac 27" quad core with 8 gig ram & 2 x 1 TB hard drives last Friday. I'm using Boot Camp to run windows 7 64 bit on maximum 2560 x 1440 screen resolution.
I get intermittent but often display problems in windows 7. I get areas of the screen covered in little yellow dots or blue squares (never red artefacts.) This will happen at random areas of the screen, inside an open window, around borders of windows and so on. Most often the screen will go black and come back with a message in the bottom right corner of the screen saying 'Display driver has stopped responding and has recovered' with the sub message saying 'display driver ATI radeon family stopped....etc'. Sometimes I lose the screen wallpaper. Once I've had the system just shut down, once I've had Photoshop seize up and I had to do a cold reboot. Could this be an overheating problem or resolution too high problem or driver problem? Windows 7 tells me my drivers are up to date. I tried installing the drivers for the card from ATI's website which made no difference
The reason I bought a Mac is because it's the only effective way to code for the Mac family of OS's in XCode. The reason I didn't just attach a miniMac to my PC monitor was because there's rather a lot of advertising by Apple about the fact that you can use a Mac with a PC OS via Apple's own Boot Camp. Now I have a lot of Windows software (some of which is not available for the Mac or requires buying again) sitting on an unstable system. Any ideas would be much appreciated...

Sorry, that thread got moved for edit and as a user tip... which I didn't want and won't be doing....
Here is the post:
A tip and workaround for how to get ATI mobility/laptop drivers so that Windows no longer thinks the ATI is a desktop card:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11286987
Summary (my own edit steps):
1. Install Boot Camp 3.0 and upgrade to 3.1
2. Uninstall graphic drivers and run Driver Sweeper
http://www.guru3d.com/category/driversweeper/
instead of:
removing the crashing driver by going into windows 7 setup via its install cd and deleting the ati driver manaully
3. Install ATI Mobility (link)
4. Uninstall ATI (Programs control panel?) Device Manager (rollback; uninstall?)
5. Device Nanager: update driver and BROWSE BACK to 8.681 (the original apple driver that was causing freezes and purple artifacts) - navigate to /Apple/Drivers/ATI
(Apple uses) a 4850 card in the iMac, its modified a bit for apple. Enough that desktop drivers don't work, and modded-for-laptop desktop drivers don't work either.
Now the upshot of using modified drivers is that it FORCES the catalyst control panel to be installed, meaning you get a few more options to mess around with the card.
I couldn't use the original apple drive, it locks up, the newer one had banding, the newer radeon drivers direct form ATI wouldn't work until they were modded and then they cause black screens.
SO the solution, as obscure as it was, was to download ACTUAL mobility Radeon drivers - version 10.3 still, but made for laptops.
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx
THESE drivers I was able to install - and here is where things changed.
THIS driver changed they way windows saw the video card in device manager.
As I mentioned before, its NOT a desktop card, its a modified laptop card, but installing mac drivers makes windows THINK its a full desktop card, and running the original 8.681 driver crashed it.
Once installed 10.3 LAPTOP driver it now appeared in device manager as a MOBILITY card.
+These Steps "should" work:+
delete ATI driver manually
reinstall apple driver after that and see if that works,
otherwise try the steps above
(mod drivers, remove via windows recovery off setup disk, install laptop drivers, reinstall apple driver over it)

Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

JMicron + x58 Platinum + windows 7 64 bit = no go

Hi all,
I have an MSI x58 platinum running bios 3.7. (ive also got a core i7 930 (3 x 2 GIG ram))
My issue is
Ive just rebuilt it and i have just acquired 2 x 36GIG 10000RPM Raptors.
Ive done as per the manual said and stuck them on SATA 7/8 made a RAID 0 (see it in the BIOS).
The issue is when i start to load Win7 64bit I get to the "where do you want to install windows" part.
I see Disk 0 Partition 1 is the 68.9 (Jmicro RAID0) that i have setup.
I select it and Windows spurts "Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition".
So what am i doing wrong? Ive tried to load the Jmicro driver at this point that i download from the MSI website v1.17.55.00. It doesnt show it automatically you need to untick "hide drivers that are not compatable with hardware on this computer". Weird as its Jmicro and its from MSI and MSI recommended.
Ive also had a try with forcing that driver but still no go.
Anyone of you gurus have any ideas? Is there some sort of seperate bios bootloader section that i need to do some stuff in?
Cheers
Anthony

Yes they support TLER.
The Jmicron is a faster option.
But it doesn't work. I still say to forgo the small performance boost and stick with the Intel controller. In my experience I wouldn't trust the Jmicron as my boot controller. Try Google and type "JMicron RAID problem" and you may be turned off by what you read.

Cant install windows ultimate 32 bit on my imac.

i cant install windows 7 ultimate on my imac every time i gets to the part wherr you shall pick the boot camp it says that i should put a cd with a driver in it put the windows cd wont get out.

Hi Andreas,
Please specify your hardware and software. Running OSX? Which version? Old hardware/new hardware?
It is not sure what your problem is: is it that the CD will not eject? Or is it that the winbdows cd is not installing?

Just installed Firefox 6.0.2 for Windows 7 64-bit and having many problems on some web sites

When I go to certain web sites with Firefox:
-It won't let me log onto the forums.
-It will let me enlarge a picture maybe once or twice but that's it.
-The videos don't show up.
-Some sites the videos do show up and work but you can't enlarge them. (YouTube works fine).
I installed the Adobe Flash player 10 plugin right after installing Firefox.
I'm able to do all this with IE9, however, after installing Firefox, some of my letters when viewed with IE9 are now in some kind of code with things like <p> (maybe html?).
Please Help. Thank You

Installed CS3 on new Vista Ultimate 64-bit laptop and having problems

I'm aware that CS3 was not made to run on a 64-bit computer, but I'm just wondering if there are workarounds for the errors that I am having. First, when I open ID I get a Javascript error 30619. It doesn't seem to effect the application any to just click through the warning and proceed, but I get it everytime I open the app and that gets old quick. I can live with that, however, but the real annoying issue that I've come across that is really driving nuts is the failure of the "enter" key to give me a paragraph break like it's supposed to. Both the enter keys now give me a page break no matter what key combination I use. I no longer have paragraph break, line break, or column break at my fingertips and I use them all a lot. I literally have to copy and paste them or choose them from the insert characters menu. Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this and if there is a workaround or a fix?

This was a fresh install on a new computer. I had errors with the install that appear to be common with Acrobat Pro on 64 bit computers. It crashed the install and I had to remove what had installed and retry the install from scratch. I clicked past the error on the Acrobat Pro install on the second try and was able to get the full suite to install, but it's not functioning correctly. ID is the only application I've used at length so far, and I've run into the two errors I mentioned in the original post.
Should I try the install again? I had to get a phone activation because my other laptop fatally crashed before I could remove the suite, so I don't want to have to deactivate and activate the software again.

I hope that copying the contents while in Windows to a folder and navigating to specific drivers.... isn't a secret.
Some people will have to use Troubleshoot Compatibility (or change Properties on the installer).
OS X DVD( Boot Camp\Drivers )open BroadCom folder and click on BroadComNetworkAdapterWin7_64bit.
But not everyone even with that can get their Broadcom drivers working.

Windows 7 64 bit: Just installed firefox and pages will not load, or are very slow, IE explorer loads instantly

I installed windows ultimate 64 bit, Tried to install firefox for my default browser. Internet explorer loads everything like normal, no problem but firefox will not load or does after 5 mins +
I checked my firewall windows provides and Avira to see if they were blocking, Found nothing of anything being blocked.
This is a fresh installed windows 7, No viruses or malware

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Windows Vista 64 bit w/older 2 dual core 3.0ghz Mac Pro with NVIDIA 7300

I have read a variety of the posts that have appeared here on the use of Windows Vista 64 bits on a Mac Pro. I remain confused, and but want to do this. I have a Mac Pro purchased in the Spring of '07 with dual 3.0Ghz dual core Xeon cpus and 10gb of ram, using the NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT and running 10.5.1, with multiple drives. I want to run the 64 bit version of Vista Ultimate to use my ram, and to gain the performance this box should offer. It appears that I have three options:
1. Boot Camp: I don't know if the drivers are available, seems like the new Mac Pro drivers probably would not work, even if I could find them, since I have an older Mac Pro with a pair of the dual core Xeon CPUs. Don't know if there is an alternate source than Apple for the drivers, or a way to get around the problem in boot camp.
2. Parallels: I do not believe that 64 bit apps are supported by Parallels
3. Fusion: Their web site says they support Win Vista 64 bit, but it is not clear to me on the web site where the drivers are obtained, or perhaps they are built in to Fusion. Will I get the performance and memory benefits in fusion? Or is the OSX virtual overhead so high that this is a fools errand?
I do a lot of video editing, and fully 95% of my life is in the Mac world, but I have individuals who send files for editing, and occasionally they require Windows tools, much to my chagrin. I also have a small number of programs that need Windows 64. I occasionally am required to do some development work, and would like to use this machine for that purpose if it can indeed run Win Vista 64bit. I have XP loaded on a more modest box andit is running fine when I need it, which isn't very often.
Any help, or successful experience in running Windows Ultimate 64 bit on this hardware, utilizing its resources would be greatly appreciated.

Here are my results after further digging online and from my own experience.
Here is the procedure:
1. Check whether your Mac has the 32-bit EFI or 64-bit EFI
http://www.ihackintosh.com/2009/08/snow-leopard-106-and-64-bit-what-you-need-to- know/
2. Create a Boot Camp (BC) partition for Windows 7 x64. Resize the partition size using the slider in the BC app. Follow the instruction, insert the Windows 7 disk and reboot.
3. This will load the PC partition which is FAT formatted for now. Choose the Boot Camp partition on which to install Win 7, but choose in the option to format that partition. It will automatically format it in NTFS. Otherwise, it will not install on that partition.
Note : A "OEM System Builder" Windows 7 64-bit Professional UPGRADE install without any issues what so ever. The upgrade disk is a full install. Read this for further information:
http://www.pcworld.com/article/174288/windows7_upgrade_madecheaper.html
4. Run windows, then insert the Snow Leopard disk. It will tell you your hardware cannot support x64 version. Do the following procedure to manually install the driver:

5. Then update Boot camp using Apple Software Update in Windows.
6. All hardware works fine except the sound. The sound only comes out of the internal speaker, even when headphone or speakers are plugged in the jack. Installing the Realtek High Definition Audio Codecs driver in order to fixe the problem. Shutdown and reboot to make it applicable. Try a second time if it still does not work:

6490m driver update windows 7 64 bit

Hi together,
I own a early 2011 MacbookPro with an AMD Radeon HD 6490M graphic card and an Intel 3000 HD in addition.
I installed Windows Ultimate 64 bit via bootcamp.
Now I'm facing the error, that the driver I installed by Apple Support Folder (downloaded before in MacOS by bootcamp assistant) ist very old (begin 2011) and I'm not able to install the driver. It says that there is no correct graphic hardware at my system. The AMD Homepage says that 6400M series is supported but I can't get it to work.
Afterwards I installed the latest beta driver (12-8_vista_win7_win8_64_dd_ccc). It installed with no problems but afterwards hardware manager reports that I'm having a AMD 7700M graphic card (I don't remember the name cause I uninstalled it because of extreme bad performance - more laggy then before).
Now I read several threads in here and found a driver version of 11/2011. That one install a graphic card which is called 6400M which usually would be right cause it's the 6400 series. But this driver had same bad performance (40-60fps in counterstrike 1.6) like the other one.
Does anybody now where I can get the latest driver including catalyst center for my AMD Radeon HD 6490M?
It would be really nice if anybody could help me.
I'm sorry for my bad english. If there are any questions please ask.
Regards and thank you!

Graphic switching on Macs only works within OS X. When in Windows, the discreet GPU runs all the time. This is the way it has been since Apple introduced systems with multiple GPUs. And being that I actually own a machine similar to the OP's that runs both Windows and OS X, and you own an HP, it goes without saying that I know more about this than you do.
To the OP, the correct drivers can be downloaded by following the link at the bottom of this page:
http://www.guru3d.com/files_details/amd_catalyst_12_10_whql_download.html
Before installing, make sure you have the Microsoft .NET framework 4.0 and all its security updates installed on your machine.
Uninstall the drivers you have now via control panel/programs and features, reboot, and run this package from the link above. When it finishes, reboot, and it will display "AMD Radeon HD 6400M Series" in device manager. This is the correct naming scheme when you install drivers that are not directly provided by Apple. I have the same set installed on mine, and it says "AMD Radeon HD 6700M Series."
