P67A-C45 hangs with Core i5-2300 and Win7 sees only 8 Gb RAM (of 16 total)

Hi guys, I have a problem.
My config is:
OS: Windows 7 Pro х64
MoBo: Socket1155 MSI "P67A-C45"
CPU: Intel "Core i5-2300"
Ram 4 dimms * 4Gb DDR3 SDRAM Kingston "ValueRAM" KVR1333D3N9/4G (PC10600, 1333МГц, CL9)
Video: PCI-E 1024МБ Sapphire "Radeon HD 5670" 11168-05 (Radeon HD 5670, DDR5, DVI, HDMI, DP)
Problem #1:
Windows shows only 8 Gb RAM in system properties. CPU-Z shows all 16 GB.
Problem #2:
Computer hangs several times per day (no blue screen, everithing just becomes frozen).
After flashing BIOS to 1,7 both problem disappeared for 2 days, but after todays hang both problems have returned.
No overclocking, Turbo boost disabled, EIST disabled, RAM voltage 1,5V.
Any ideas? Maybe new BIOS version?..

I have Carsair 650W PSU, it works fine (worked in my previous computer).
Also 3 SATA HDD installed (Segate 1 Tb and 2*Seagate 1,5 Tb).
I've raisen DIMM voltage to 1,65 V and system doesn't freeze anymore.
But windows still sees 8 GB memory (of 16 installed).
I think this is BIOS bug....

    This recently happened to me.  I am a novice, but it seemed like that project got corrupted some how.
    I deleted it.
    Went to time machine and picked it up again when I knew it was working ok.
    I lost a few hours of work, but not the entire project.
    Once I had the project back from time machine, it worked fine (but like I said, I lost a little bit of work).

  • I am trying to save a document with the new pages and it will only save as a zip file any ideas on how to change this?

    I am trying to save a document with the new Pages and it is only saving as a ZIP file anyone know how to fix this or choose a different file type?

    Take a look at the FileSelector
    First make sure the FileSelector is expanded so you can see the directory and sidebar. That's what the little disclosure triangle up by the filename is for. Once the FS has been expanded to look like the above picture, look to see what subdirectory has been selected. Use the SideBar to select an appropriate one.

  • P67A-C45 B3 with 2133Mhz

    Hello my friends,
    I want to buy the P67A-C45 B3 Mainboards and use with 2133Mhz memory on it, on the specification it tells me:
    Supports four unbuffered DIMM of 1.5 Volt DDR3 1066/1333/1600*/2133*(OC) DRAM, 32GB Max
    What that * on the side? can't find anything on the manual about it. Can you guys help me?

    The star (*) means that it is an overclocked condition and not guaranteed to work.
    All Sandy Bridge processors have an integrated memory controller at default 1333. Any higher memory speed is achieved by overclocking only and there are numerous factors that may prevent achieving that, not least of which is the memory controller itself.
    Overclocking memory on Sandy Bridge platforms results in minimal gain in overall performance and can cause more frustrations to get it running than is worth the effort and time.

  • P67A-C45 conpatibility with Revodrive ?

    Hi all,
    I plan to get the Revodrive with this MSI P67A-C45.
    My question is : Does this motherboard allow boot from PCI-E ?
    Thanks in advance,

    The board is VERY! new and I doubt anyone has actually tested that configuration.  However, the board should definately be able to do that.

  • Does anyone know how to access the sound software on a Mid 2010 Mac Pro? I have a Logitech Z906 5.1 surround system with fiber optic in and out, I only seem to be able to get stereo and simulated 5.1 sound .

    A mid 2010 Mac Pro, trying to get 5.1 surround out of the onboard sound software using fiber optic out connected to a Logitech Z906 5.1 speaker sys. with fiber optic in and out, all I get is stereo and simulated 5.1 sound out of the speakers. In utilities, Audio Midi Setup I can't get the Mac to see the Logitech speakers for 5.1 speaker configuration. Without being made to feel like a dummy, does anyone have a solution? Thanks, Carl

    Hello John, I figured it was a signal issue. All the speakers fire and the sound is great. I was running the speakers thru a Dell PC with a Creative X-Fi Elite Pro, THX Certified, 7.1 soundcard using a fiber optic from the Mac Pro to the Z906's, it worked great until the Dell died!!! When I bought the soundcard from Creative I also bought the GigaWorks S750, THX Certified, 700 watt, 7.1 speaker system, used the speakers for 11 years and then the woofer/amp said "I QUIT" Creative quit making the speaker system and the sound card. The satellite speakers from the Creative GigaWorks speaker system still sound great (rated at 78 watt each) and are a little better speaker than the one's that came with the Z906 and the wattage from the 906 is sufficient to drive the satellites without any distortion. Thank you for addressing my issue, you confirmed what I suspected all along, just needed to hear it from someone with the same setup.
    One last question, I purchased a Diamond Multimedia USB Soundcard, can't use the fiber optic(not supported by Mac) but the green, tan and black RCA's plug in and produces adequetly. When you plug your 906's into the Mac Pro using the fiber optic how do you set your speaker configuration? When I plug into the mac pro with fiber optic the 'Audio Midi Setup' does not seem to see the 5.1 configuration. Any thoughts there?

  • Hangs with 1.3.1 and now 1.4.1 - Win XP

    I was running LR 1.3.1 and now within the last week I moved on to 1.4.1
    to see if this problem was any different. Unfortunately - they are
    behaving the same. My system is a custom PC running Win XP2 - 2GB on an
    Intel Quad Core 2.4ghz processor.
    The basic problem is that from time to time - LR will freeze up - and
    when it does I always see two things - the first and most noticeable is
    that the standard Windows frame gets painted over the top of the normal
    dark grey LR window frame, and when I look in my task list - I see two
    LR program entries.
    Some times when this happens - it will eventually snap out of it - and
    allow me to continue - but other times I run out of patience waiting
    (have waited up to 5 minutes or longer) to get control back and have to
    kill LR via the Task Manager.
    I have tried deleting the prefs file to make sure that it was not
    corrupted. I have also removed the V2 Beta copy from this machine just
    to make sure that wasn't causing any issues. Neither of those things
    seemed to help alleviate this problem.
    I am in the process of optimizing my db (I have over 40,000 images in it
    so far - and have done a fair amount of deleting over the course of time
    to remove unwanted images) - so perhaps that will help.
    It is hard to tell whether the hang is causing the UI effect that I am
    seeing - i.e. w/o the hang - that windows standard frame appears and
    disappears so fast normally that you can't notice it - or if the hang is
    related to the UI itself.
    Anyone seen something similar?

    I continued to see UI related hangs as I described above - even after
    optimizing the database. It was not as bad by any means - but not
    acceptable by any standard - sometimes I would have to wait 30 seconds
    or so for the UI to free up and the normal LR window border to replace
    the ugly blue Windows default border.
    Even though I had selected the My Documents (and all subfolders) in my
    settings for Norton AV to be excluded from Auto-Protect, I decided to
    try out turning off autoprotect altogether to see if that might be the
    culprit.
    Sure enough - turning that off completely got rid of the random
    sluggishness that I was seeing. I am guessing that perhaps a recent
    update of the NAV software caused the feature to work differently and
    perhaps ignore the settings to bypass certain directories - because I
    didn't see this behavior until recently.
    Folks with NAV installed (my version is 2007 - part of Norton Security
    - should probably take a look at this to see if this makes the same
    performance difference for them.

  • Mail hang with multiple pop accounts and invalid new mail counter

    All
    More than a year ago, I migrated all email accounts from Outlook to Apple Mail using O2M application. I have 2 pop accounts and gmail account. Everything worked fine for a few month but then Mail started to hang during message receiving. It did so very often (4/5 times). When it does, nothing will revive it except a "force quit".
    I tried to fetch email from each account individually, that worked well every time. After I was sure that it has to do with getting new mail simultaneously, I tried everything to fix it. I tried to reconstruct all the mail boxes, I tried using only 2 boxes with all combinations (1 pop 1 gmail, 2 pop, etc) but nothing worked.
    I even tried to export all my mail boxes, then delete everything from Mail then reimport them with no luck.
    In addition, a couple of months later, my "Inbox" new mail counter started to sometimes displaying the wrong new mail count. It displays 2-4 new messages while there is none. In order to be sure, I created a smart mail box to have only new mail and it had none. By simply switching to any other folder then returning back to Inbox solves the problem.
    Can any one help?

    Make absolutely sure that your email addresses and configuration are correct. In nearly every case I've encountered, this is the problem.
    If you've confirmed this, make sure you're configured properly on your webmail account, if you have one. Webmail is something like ATT, the source of your internet.
    If you're still flummoxed, play hardball. Make sure you have all your current account info and passwords, and delete them in Mail/Preferences/Accounts. Then, reenter them one by one until they're perfect. This makes sure your settings are consistent and correct.

  • Adobe Reader 9.3 PDF's freeze/hang with IE 8 Browser and Vista:  Solution Provided

    I have been using Internet Explorer 8 well for some time but I am now having repeated difficulty with Adobe Reader 9.3 because PDF's continually freeze or hang up while I am in the browser -- forcing me to close the browser completely.
    Incidentally, Resetting IE 8 to its Default settings did not help to prevent the browser from still freezing while trying to read PDF's.
    The only way I solved this problem is to uninstall Adobe Reader 9.3 completely, Restart the computer, and then install Adobe Reader 8.2.0 .  Now, I have absolutely no difficulty with PDF's freezing or hanging up.  
    Adobe has simply to debug Reader 9.3 in order to make it more compatible with IE 8 and Vista.....

    What I would try if I were in your situation
    uninstall your current Adobe Reader;
    reboot Windows to make sure that all components are removed;
    download this installer http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.3/enu/AdbeRdr930_en_US.msi (save to disk);
    close all browser windows, then run the downloaded installer.
    If the problem reoccurs, and if no-one else in this forum has any better advice, then maybe you should try an alternate PDF reader such as Foxit Reader.  (But make sure that you don't install the bundled toolbar!)

  • I can print from every app on my MacBook except with Firefox. Printing and print preview only produces blank pages???

    I have a MacBook Pro with Mac OS 10.6.4. Within Firefox, if I select File -> Print and then select preview a get a blank page. The same thing occurs if I sent the print request to my printer. I can print and preview from Safari and from any other application. Firefox is the only app that I can't print from.

  • Xcompmgr messing with openbox windows (conky and kde apps only)

    here's the involved packages:
    openbox 3.4.7.2-1
    nvidia 177.82-1
    xorg-server 1.5.3-3
    xcompmgr 1.1.4-1
    kdelibs3 3.5.10-2
    conky 1.6.1-2
    now the issue is primarily with xcompmgr.  when it's running (default options or the whole -cCfF... stuff doesn't make a difference).  i have the following:
    whenever a kde apps window opens.  (i.e. i start amarok or k3b; k3b opens new windows during burn start/stop process) my conky will disappear only to flicker and reappear a few seconds later. (this only happens with kde apps)
    when i'm tweaking my conky i will often `pkill conky; sleep 3; conky` to see my changes.  when i kill conky, ALL of my active windows on the current desktop disappear and only reappear if a) they are redrawn because of an update to their contents on their own accord, or b) (kinda the same thing) i grab a window and drag it all over the screen resetting whatever i pass over to it's correct visual state.  (this only happens when killing conky)
    this is annoying me, i love the shadows/fading from xcompmgr but this flickering makes my whole experience feel unstable and i have to turn it off after a few minutes.  turn off xcompmgr and it's rock solid just as before... snappier too i think.
    this behavior started immediately after the recent xorg update (i saved that for last because i know were all sick of _that_).  i changed nothing, but for the -Syu when this happened.
    anyways, your thoughts and help is much appreciated.

    so i'm resurrecting this thread because i hoped, and  prayed, that xorg 1.6 in testing would fix this problem.  i've been working my ass off to keep my system back in xorg 1.4.  my desktop just looks so oldfashioned w/o shadows and transparency. 
    ok so to re-outline, i'm running:
    pacman -Q stuff
    xorg-server 1.6.0-1
    nvidia 180.29-3
    openbox 3.4.7.2-1
    xcompmgr 1.1.4-1
    with this gpu:
    hwd -s | grep video
    Video : GeForce 7150 / nForce 630i server: XFree86 (vesa)
    i created a minimal xorg.conf via nvidia-xconfig an added a few suggested options (although they _really_ don't seem to affect this bug...):
    cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    # nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
    # nvidia-xconfig: version 1.0 (buildmeister@builder62) Thu Feb 5 00:08:50 PST 2009

    SubSection "Display"

    EndSubSection
    EndSection
    now, here's what happens:
    i startx, .xinitrc or autostart.sh bring up xcompmgr, bmpanel, and conky
    if i open amarok or k3b, conky and bmpanel (both using transparency) vanish while the splash screen(s) show.
    when i burn something with k3b (and new windows appear) i see similar behavior
    sometimes it's just for a sec and then it's back, sometimes conky comes back with part of itself missing
    also, if you execute `pkill conky` from an xterm, all windows are 'destroyed' until you [blindly] grab that xterm window and move it about your desktop 'revealing' the desktops contents.  please see this screenshot for this in action.
    killing xcompmgr fixes all this... but it's so ugly.  the problems go away if i downgrade to xorg-server 1.4 (and also adjust any related/dependant packages to match).
    please please, tell me i'm not alone!  a fix would be nice too .
    thanks in advance... again
