Pavilion g6 ram not used by Windows8

Hi,
I have a Hp pavilion g6 with 6GB ram.In the BIOS it clearly shows that the RAM installed is 6GB.However when the machine loads windows8 in the resource pannel of the task manager,it registeres only 900MB RAM.I know that the video card uses part of the ram...but I doubt that it uses 5GB.Any solution will be welcomed

Well according to Intel that processor is 64 bit so your system is probably 64 bit so the only thing that is probably hindering you is your 32 bit version of Window 8. If you look at the drivers and downloads page for your computer you will probably see that could have shipped with Windows 8 64 bit.

Fan RPM & Noise is too loud, why? I have 4GB ram & not using too much apps

Hey Folks.
I dont' get it... I have 4GB ram & pretty much doing nothing online except on YouTube and I constantly hear my fan go crazy... the RPM is at like 4-5000rpm right now as we speak its 2500rpm (because I have paused the YouTube clip)... why is that?
Here's some snapshots & Please help.

I thought I have sufficient memory to handle these type of tasks?
Let me know plz.

So in other words, it's quite normal for Mac to go nuts a little when watching YouTube Flicks, cause the flash coded on Mac differentiates from other operating systems hence the reason why there's a higher CPU?
Sure, but it shouldn't really "go nuts." When the original poster gets 76% CPU and I get 85% when watching a Flash video, that still means watching videos uses less than half the total CPU power of a dual core. Video in and of itself should not cause fans to start up, as my fans hardly every go on. When fans come on due to CPU load alone, it usually means a dual core is operating at close to 200% CPU load.
If the fans are coming on, it means other factors may be contributing to the heat. Maybe other processes are adding to the CPU load. Maybe the ambient room temperature is high, which is common in the summer or in the south. Maybe there is insufficient ventilation to the case. Maybe SMC Fan Control is set to make the fans start at a lower threshold; I have not modified my fan behavior and don't even monitor it.

HELP: Premiere Pro CC not using all CPU and RAM during rendering and export

Hello,
I am using Premiere Pro CC on a Windows 7. My timeline is quite simple with two videos, one with the movie (mpeg) and the other with the subtitles (avi).
When I render the sequence in PP or export, the rendering time is way too slow and it only uses around 15-20% of the CPU and 3 GB of RAM.
My hardware config is :
- CPU : i7-4770k 3.50Ghz
- RAM : 8 GB
- Disk : 2 x 3 TB SATA (no raid)
RAM is not the bottleneck, neither the disk access.
I have tried rendering and exporting the same project on an iMac (with an i5 2.7 Ghz and 4 GB RAM and only 1 disk) and the result is 4x faster !!!
The CPU usage is close to 100% as well as RAM usage.
So how come PP uses all resources availble on an iMac and not on a Windows 7 ?
Is there any known bug or software bottleneck on Windows 7 ?
My machine is brand new and nothing much installed besides Adobe products.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks,

I just rendered out a a 2 minute sequence with about 100 clips in it and Colorista effects on everything to the Vimeo 1080 H264 preset. It took about 5 minutes to render straight from Premiere, it used all the recourses it could, my CPU was running at near %100, same with my ram and GPU, I was happy.
Then I did another render with Red Giant Denoiser and it now wants to take 30 mins and it is only using about %20 of the recourses available. My problem isn't that its taking longer with Denoiser but that its not using all of my computers CPU and GPU.
Im rendering at maximum render quality and bit dept to H264 (Im happy to wait the extra time), if I try to use VRB 2 it encodes 1 pass at a time and wants to take up to 40 minutes.
I would appreciate some advice on this.

After Effects not using free RAM?

Hi there
Just like to ask question regarding after effects and ram usage.
I remember before I installed the app Memory Booster - that allows you to keep track of how much ram, there was a healthy use of RAM there from after effects.
But i noticed today, whilst rendering and doing background cache rendering, the free RAM still available stays at around 4GB and I am wondering why it's not using this free RAM to help faster rendering?
this is my current multi-processing/ram settings on AE- essentially it should be using up to 6.5 GB of RAM as i allocated as I need faster rendering? Just wondering why it's staying stuck at around 3-4GB of free RAM on my system when it could clearly be used by AE. I want AE to use the RAM as it is the only running program on my system when i work!
Memory Booster down to 3.18GB with one safari tab open for Adobe forums, when exiting, it jumps back up to 4GB free RAM
Confused!
Thanks

Different projects, different footage attributes, different AE features used, different effects used, different delivery specs....
...are you comparing apples to apples, or apples to ORANGES? We don't know that.

I'm a normal user, using cad programme, not using my laptop for games, my question is: do I need to get 16 gb ram in my retina macbook pro or 8 gb ram is pretty enough?

I'm a normal user, using cad programme, not using my laptop for games, my question is: do I need to get 16 gb ram in my retina macbook pro or 8 gb ram is pretty enough?
Thanks for support.

8 GB may be sufficient for CAD but 16 would be a much better idea.
All the Macs I have ever owned were eventually upgraded to the maximum amount of memory they could use. Considering that as of now, the RAM you specify is all the RAM you will ever have, get as much as you can. That is the only way to maximize its economic life.
If Apple offered a 32 GB version I'd get it.

i have a hp pavilion dv6-6c16nr. i can not use either microphone or webcam. Programs say that I do not have a microphone or webcam. I use Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
I suspected that there is a problem with the current Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit installation and i installed it from recovery option again. but result did not change.
Thank you for your support

Photoshop CS4 does NOT use RAM as scratch disk

Photoshop CS4 does NOT use RAM as scratch disk
as far as I can tell.
I have 20 GB RAM and still Photoshop uses the hard disk as scratch disk.
(OS = Win 7 64).
Can I force the use of RAM as scratch disk?
/Larry

Hi PECourtejoie,
I really try to understand this, please.
I don't know if 'Hitting the hard disk brings unacceptable slowdowns in my workflow'.
Because I don't know what unacceptable slowdowns are.
Any operation in Phshp takes time, and you always want it to go as fast as possible..
I know that if Phshp only worked against RAM instead of constantly saving to (and reading from) the hard drive it ought to go faster.
But I still don't know if this is the case, because there is a constant use of a tempfile on the hard drive's Scratch disk!
So far I understand that Phshp may BOTH work in RAM AND save data to the hard drive Scratch disk.
It could be possible that the writing to the hard disk happens when Phshp is idle from other tasks and that the reading only happens when data has disappeared from the Cache in RAM.
That could be a scenario where a Scratch disk on Hard drive doesn't interfere with Phshps performance, and an explanation why we should not bother about the Scratch disk on the hard drive.
But I would very much like to have some confirmation on this, IF this is the explanation of how the Scratch disk on a hard drive works without influencing Phshp's performance??
Everybody just seem to assume that Photoshop uses (some) parts of RAM as work space - I just need a better understanding of this. And some correct descriptions.

Not using all the ram

Hi!
I"m wondering, I have FCE exporting a video while iMovie is importing one. I see that my Macbook is only using 750 mg of ram. How come it doesn't use the whole 2 gigs?

There are no options that cover RAM usage in the Energy Saver System Preferences. In fact, with a MacBook, you can't even select "better performance" usage of your processor. This functionality is built-in to the processor and there is no GUI for adjusting it in Mac OS X. So, there are no options you can configure to alter the amount of RAM used or not used with Mac OS X, it's all automatic.

Logic 8 not using all RAM

I'm running Logic 8 on a MacPro 8-core with 13 GB of RAM, but Logic always crashes once it's used about 6.5 GB of memory. I'm trying to run a lot of sample libraries and plugins at once (Vienna Instruments, EWQLSO with Kontakt2, Stylus, EXS24 instruments, etc.), but it reaches a limit and crashes, telling me "could not allocate enough memory" and other memory messages like that. How can I get Logic to use the rest of my RAM that's just sitting there?

Ok here's your first problem... 13 gigs of ram. If you read and pay attention to Apple's info, you'll see that they highly recommend you pair up the RAM chips and use the same ones, otherwise you're using 64bit memory addressing as opposed to 128, which of course means processing things faster. Look at your RAM configuration and look at which ones are not paired up, I'm thinking you have a pair of 512MB DIMMS in there which should be taken out, yes you'll lose a gig, big deal, you'll gain speed.
Second, Logic can't use more than 4 gigs of RAM. It's not a 64bit application. 64bit as it's compiled, I am not talking about the audio engine. The fact that it reaches 6.5GB is because EXS24 has its way of starting up more processes which can use 4gigs of ram Each. Logic itself is not using the 4 gigs.
The reason you crash is because one of the plugins you're using is not written properly to let Logic know that it's running out of RAM, and hence Logic tried to take up more and crashes because it can't address more than 4gigs of ram, and when it does... boom. As an example of that, BFD 1.5 used to be like that, until FX rewrote their code to work properly, and now when BFD2 tries to get above what Logic is capable of, it stops loading samples and throws up a little popup telling you you're running out of memory.
Your problem is not logic, it's one of those plugins which is not written properly.

Is there a way to hibernate tab groups so that they do not use RAM memory?

Is there a way to hibernate tab groups so that they do not use RAM memory? I have a lot of tabs open and have organized them into tabgroups but my computer still uses a lot of the RAM on mozilla. Can I hibernate some of the tabgroups in any way?

There was a bug filed in 2010, but it seems like it's halted.

@I run a Windows 8.1 - Photoshop CS5 under Parallels on an iMac one year old and both having the latest OS. I use a NIK plugin "VIVEZA" which run fine for years without a problem. Latelt and without a reason, the NIK plugin has gone corrupt, (can not use it more the 2 corrections after a get a black background message that there is not enough memory) and the system stops running and a must restart is required. How do I fix this terrible problem?
If it requires a Photoshop CS5 re-install, (I belief that it may fix the problem) and re-install the two third party plugins (NIK Viveza) and (Onone Perfect Resize) how and where do I get to the proper Adobe upload page to do that.
I have tried to fix this problem by changing the memory allocations, I have spend many hours on it and are very disgusted with it but it needs to be fixed. The current memory settings are;
Ram available = 1588 MB
Range = 873 -1143 MB
Recommended Photoshop usage range = 857 however I have tried every setting to max and in between. Nothing works. Current setting = 1588 (max)
The Photoshop I use is registered, I have product # and order # .

Contact NIK for updated/upgraded versions of their plug-ins. They have been having a lot of issues with their plug-ins.

My HP Pavilion zv6000 will not boot/recovery

My HP Pavilion zv6000 will not boot/recovery need help

Disconnect the AC Adapter and Battery from the unit. Hold the Power button down for about 15 seconds. Then without the battery being connected, plug in only the AC Adapter on the unit and check if this powers on the unit. You can also try to reseat the RAM on the unit. You can find the removal procedures on the Service and Maintance guide on www.hp.com for your model notebook. In case the notebook does not work after these steps, it could possibly be a hardware issue on the unit.

I have a pc that is one year old and the hard drive is crashing we use it only for quick books to run our small business I would like to buy a macmini and install the OS from the pc to the apple product i will not use the pc after, can i use the OS off the pc or do I have to purchase another?

I think you can get Windows 7 for around $99. Install the 64bit version as the 32bit version will not be able to use all your new computer's ram if you have more than about 3.5gb.
Back up your quick books data now before the old hard drive dies. You can copy your data over to your new installation of Windows and quick books.
By the way, there is quick books for Mac http://quickbooks.intuit.com/mac/?sc=BNR-000-COR-quickbooks&priorityCode=4902000 000&cid=ppc_google_QB-Intuit-Core-Brand-Mac_quick-books-for-mac_exact&site=&ad_i d=9347918288&raw_keyword=quick%20books%20for%20mac
So you may not need to install Windows at all.
