PC will no longer boot with more than one stick of ram.

Hello.
My wife and I both own HPE 371f. We've had them about 8 months and neither one of us has had a single problem with it.
Yesterday though, I got a BSOD. I try to reboot, it goes in to recovery mode and freezes. I try to reboot again, same thing. It freezes up as the windows logo is on the screen. I start scouring the web to find out what could be the problem. All the fans are running, mobo looks to be okay, HDD is fine. I finally see the suggestion to update the BIOS. I can't even update now because I'm getting a blank screen. I turn the PC on and it just looks like nothing is getting to the monitor.
So I try a CMOS reset. I'm able to get the PC to the boot menu at least, but now it freezes up in the boot menu.
At my wits end, I finally see a something about RAM timing being off or something (I'm not very experienced with this) and they suggest taking out all but one stick of ram. I do this, and lo and behold I boot up fine. Every configuration of more than one stick of ram I try does not work. Any more than 2 gigs... and all I get is a black screen.
It's not a major deal being down to 2 from 8, but I would like to use the RAM is possible. Is this a hardware issue or something I can fix through software?
Some notes: No major changes over the last few days. I installed Skyrim, but I wasn't playing when I got the initial BSOD. I've had 4 sticks of 2 gigs since I bought the PC and I've never had an issued till now. All the sticks are identical. My wife's PC (same model) is working just fine.
Thanks in advance for any help or ideas!

Hi,
I've been searching the internet and people are talking about updating BIOS to play Skyrim. It's worth a try. Please go to this site to (a) Select your machine (b) Pick the right Operating system. Download BIOS and apply to your machine. Hope this helps, otherwise please contact HP for help (is machine still under warranty ?).
Regards,
BH

  • K9n2 Diamond having trouble with more than one stick of ram

    Hi there. Thanks for reading. My setup is as follows
    WIN-500xspx 500W PSU
    Geforce 9600 GSO
    7750 BE Kuma
    XP 64bit
    k9n2 diamond w/ BIOS 2.3
    2GB Mushkin HP2-6400 (2x1GB)
    I just got the board two days ago and got everything set up, but I've been having some trouble with my ram. Whenever I have more than one stick of ram, it fails to post, unless I clear the cmos before I power on. Then, it will give me the option to load the bios or run on default settings. If I run on default, it will boot up fine and work well for about 5 minutes. Then it will shut off and not post until I've cleared the cmos again. So, I figured I had an incompatibility issue with the ram. So I tried another set, the Crucial Ballistix BL1286AA1065.8FEF with the same results. Next I went with the Rendition RM12864AA800 with the same results. I tested each stick individually and they're all good. Each slot works fine as well. I switched the old mobo back and all was well. The only thing left is the PSU but I don't think thats the problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Its the PSU, go for better one with strong single rail like Corsair VX,TX Series.

  • K8N Neo fails to boot with more than one DIMM

    I have been searching the forums for a while now, and will continue, but I am really hoping for a quick resolution.  My system was running fine for over a year with a pair of PC3200 512MB DIMMs.  I normally leave my computer on all the time.  Recently I updated my BIOS to 2.10, and the system performed a soft boot afterwards.  Christmas Eve day I knew I was going to be gone the whole day and probably not need my computer until late on Christmas day.  I received a very unpleasant surprise.
    I attempted to boot the computer up, and I got nothing but a repeating single long beep.  I did a lot of troubleshooting and discovered that the system will boot and run fine with ONE DIMM, either DIMM.  My system will no longer boot with a second DIMM in either the 2 or 3 DIMM slots.  This is a major bummer for me, please help.
    I have not played around much with memory timings and such as of yet.  It is quite a pain to put in a single DIMM, and boot the system to make a BIOS change then shut it down again and install the second DIMM to see if it works.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Go back to your previous BIOS.

    I've only got one ID so I can't test but Winston says you can be signed into iTunes with multiple AppleIDs (i.e authorise iTunes for more than one ID content) at the same time, and that even different account content will stream so long as Home Sharing ID in iTunes matches AppleTV Home Sharing ID.

  • How can i use my iphone with more than one itunes

    how can i use my iphone with more than one itunes

    Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers
    Although it isn't possible to sync an Apple device with two different libraries it is possible to sync with the same logical library from multiple computers. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPad/iPhone it compares the local ID with the one the device normally syncs with. If they are the same you can go ahead and sync...
    I have my library cloned to a small 1Tb USB drive which I can take between home & work. At either location I use SyncToy 2.1 to update the local copy with the external drive. Mac users should be able to find similar tools. I can open either of the local libraries or the one on the external drive and update the media content of my iPhone. The slight exception is Photos which normally connects to a specific folder on a specific machine, although that can easily be remapped to the current library if you create a "Photos" folder inside the iTunes Media folder so that syncing the iTunes folders keeps this up to date as well. I periodically sweep my library for new files & orphans with iTunes Folder Watch just in case I make changes at one location but then overwrite the library with a newer copy from the other. Again Mac users should be able to find similar tools.
    As long as your media is organised within an iTunes Music or Tunes Media folder, in turn held inside the main iTunes folder that has your library files (whether or not you let iTunes keep the media folder organised) each library can access items at the same relative path from the library folder so the library can be at different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same build of iTunes.
    When working with an iPhone earlier builds of iTunes would remove any file not physically present in the local library, even if there was an entry for it, making manual management practically redundant on the iPhone. This behaviour has been changed but it will still only permit manual management with a library that has the correct internal ID. If you don't want to sync your library between machines on a regular basis just copy the iTunes Library.itl file from the current "home" machine to any other you want to use, then clean out the library entries and import the local content you have on that box.

  • Updating JournalEntries object with more than one currency fails

    I'm using SBO 6.50 (exactly CEE version 7.60.014 SP:01 EF:08).
       I'm trying to update memo field of existing journal entries. Most of them works OK, but if I try to update entry with more than one currency, update fails with an error code -5002 and message:
       Transaction includes more than one currency [OCRN].
    Code (in C++) is quite simple:
    SAPbobsCOM::ICompanyPtr m_company = SAPbobsCOM::ICompanyPtr("SAPbobsCOM.Company");
    SAPbobsCOM::IJournalEntriesPtr pEntry = m_company->GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM::oJournalEntries);
    long m_nId = 1;     // TransId field, any valid value
    try
         if (pEntry->GetByKey(m_nId) != -1)
              return;
         pEntry->Memo = _bstr_t("Memo");;
         if (pEntry->Update() < S_OK)
              throw(0);
    catch(...)
         long lError; BSTR bstrError;
         m_company->GetLastError(&lError, &bstrError);
    What's wrong? Using multiple currencies in journal entry is correct, it is possible to add them manually so it should be possible to update such an "safe" field as Memo is.

    Hi,
    I have the same problem, but if you go to Administration->System Initialization ->Document Settings, select "Per Document", and in Document, choose "Journal Entry", by default, the options are clicked, or "Blocked", this is why in DI yoy get this message.
    Try to unchecked and it will work.

  • Is there a stereo bluetooth headset that can pair with more than one device at a time?

    Is there a stereo bluetooth headset that can pair, i.e. multipoint, with more than one device at a time?
    Are the MacBook and iPhone 4 capable of multipoint bluetooth technoloagy?
    The goal is for my wife to be able to watch her Korean TV soap operas on her MacBook and still receive a call on her iPhone 4 via a stereo bluetooth headset.
    I was looking at the Motorola S10-HD but after further review saw that it only pairs with one device at a time.
    Appreciate any and all input. My Googling has returned no results.

    You can only pair one device at a time to your 8330, or any other phone for that matter.  The "pairings" are saved to the phone, you can use one or the other and you won't have to pair it again.  Once you turn your bluetooth device on and the phone is on, they will find each other again.

  • Can I use a magic trackpad with more than one Mac at a time?

    I am attempting to pair a MTP with a second MacBook Pro.  So far I can't get system preferences to find the MTP.
    I am wondering whether the MTP can be paired with only one Mac at a time, and that this is why my MBP won't find it.
    The reason I am thinking this is because the little booklet that comes with the MTP says 'after you pair your MTP with a Mac, you can pair it again with a different Mac.  To do this, you first remove the existing pairing and then pair the trackpad again'.
    Can anyone advise, please?
    If it can be paired with more than one MBP at a time, any suggestions why my system preferences search for the MTP is not producing any results?
    Thanks

    Yes, your keyboard, mouse or trackpad can be paired with multiple Macs.  You can even have multiple keyboards, mice or trackpads paired with one Mac.  The caveat is that the device can only be connected to one Mac at a time.  The device can't be paired or connected with a Mac while it's currently connected to another.
    Pairing a device with 2 Macs will be troublesome if the Macs are located within 33 ft of each other.  The device will connect with the first available paired Mac and then unavailable to the second.   If the Macs are located outside the 10meter range, it's quite easy to power off the keyboard (forcing a disconnect) then walking the keyboard to Mac 2 and powering the keyboard on.   I do this with a keyboard from my iMac to a Mac Mini in another room.

  • Can i use my ipod with more than one computer?

    i synched my ipod with one computer, hooked it up to another and it says i can't sync with more than one library? it says i have to restore it but i dont want to delete my music off of my ipod, i just want to add the music from this other library

    I have two different iPods and two computers. I regularly use either iPod on either computer.
    First set the preferences so itunes will not automatically sync when ipod is connected.
    Then connect the ipod and set itunes to manually manage music.
    Drag and drop whatever content you want to the device showing on the left.
    If this was the default setup, there wouldn't be all these posts about people losing all their music when they connect their ipod.

  • Can I use my iTunes Store account with more than one PC ?

    Hi all,
    Am I able to use my iTunes Store account with more than one PC ?
    I use my account on my PC - but I would like to download the latest version of iTunes onto my Mum's laptop, log in to my own iTunes Store account and rent a movie for her to download onto the laptop.
    Is this possible and would I still be able to use my account on my PC at the same time?
    Many thanks,
    Steve.

    Good question.
    I don't think you can--if I'm incorrect, someone will tell me--but it seems to me to be easier to simply open an iTunes account for your mom. Then get her a gift card, load it into iTunes for her, and rent a movie that way. Not elegant at all...but workable.

  • Get the data with more than one of the desired value

    Hi,
    I need to pull the records with more than one value of 'Other' on the delivery days fields.
    The delivery fields are mon,tue,wed,thu,fri and sat that tells the where the item will be delivered. The value can be Home, Work, or Other.
    Here is the Sample data:
    cust_id: 123
    item: newspaper
    mon: Home
    tue:Work
    wed: Other
    thu: Home
    fri: Other
    sat: Other
    And here is my query so far.
    select
    cust_id,
    item,
    mon,
    tue,
    wed,
    thu,
    fri,
    sat,
    sum(case when (del_mon = 'O' or del_tue ='O' or del_wed ='O' or del_thu ='O' or del_fri ='O' or del_sat='O') then 1
    else 0 end) as day_ctr
    from customer
    Could you please help me with the right formula I need to get this?
    Thank you in advance..

    First
    DESC customer
    Second
    Can you explain what you are trying with
    sum(case when (del_mon = 'O' or del_tue ='O' or del_wed ='O' or del_thu ='O' or del_fri ='O' or del_sat='O') then 1 else 0 end) as day_ctr
    Third
    Usually it's helpful a example of the result you want...
    Perhaps you want this
    select DECODE(mon,1,(select distinct mon from customer), 'OTHER') mon,
            DECODE(tue,1,(select distinct tue from customer), 'OTHER') tue,
            DECODE(wed,1,(select distinct wed from customer), 'OTHER') wed,
            DECODE(thu,1,(select distinct thu from customer), 'OTHER') thu,
            DECODE(fri,1,(select distinct fri from customer), 'OTHER') fri,
            DECODE(sat,1,(select distinct sat from customer), 'OTHER') sat from
    select
    COUNT(DISTINCT mon) mon,
    COUNT(DISTINCT tue) tue,

  • Reversing Landed Cost document with more than one vendor

    Hi Experts,
    Reversing Landed Cost document with more than one vendor:
    My client can reverse a landed cost document with One Vendor, but cannot with multiple vendors. I have also tested this in 8.8 PL10. Here is a brief description:
    Created Landed cost by selecting 2 vendors in the Vendor field.
    After you picked one vendor, you go to the vendor code/name again then choose another vendor you
    need, once you picked, the system will ask you whether you want to delete the previous data, then
    you say no, after then you will see the vendor name became "different vendors" and code be "********"
    (on the vendor tab: you will see two vendors)
    To Reverse Landed Cost we do the following with Landed Cost documents that only have one vendor:
    I can copy from the Landed Cost document (on the right-bottom corner) while creating new one with
    zero amount to reverse, which is ok; but for multiple vendors, the list of vendors onlyshows one of
    the vendors for Good Receipts & Landed Cost.
    Cannot copy from a Landed Cost document wioth more than one vendor to reverse this Landed Cost.
    To be albe to copy from a previously created Landed Cost document (with multiple vendors) as you
    can with one vendor to reverse the transaction.
    Can this functionality be added to future versions?

    Take a look at business area and groupings in they payment program settings...
    I am not sure what version you are on but the following link for 4.7 should provide some valuable information...

    Grouping Open Items and Individual Payments
    Wherever possible, the payment program will always group items together for payment.
    The payment program can only group together open items for payment if the open items in an account have the same:
    1. Currency
    2. Payment method in the item
    3. Bank in the item
    4. Contents of the grouping fields (if a grouping key is specified in the customer or vendor master record)
    You can also pay open items from different company codes together, as well as customer and vendor line items.
    Items in an account are not grouped together if you:
    1. Make payments separately per business area. This procedure entails separate payments being created per business area.
    2. Want to make individual payments
    Items in which a payment method is specified are not grouped with items in which no payment method is specified.
    You define the required grouping key in the IMG for Financial Accounting under Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable -> Business Transactions -> Outgoing Payments -> Automatic Outgoing Payments -> Payment Method/Bank Selection for Payment Program -> Define Payment Groupings.
    In our system, if the business area is the same, there will be one ZP document with one line with a posting key of 25. Otherwise there will be many individual 25 posting key lines with.

  • Document/literal style wsdl with more than one port

    Recently I have changed wsdl style from rpc/encoded to document/literal as BPEL does not handle soapenc:arrayType. The wsdl contains 2 operations and few complex type definitions.
    In BPEL Designer I have created a process that invokes all operations defined in the wsdl, but only one of them will have some data in the response message and the other one will have an empty message. On the other hand, when I use stub generation to invoke Web Service everything is working fine.
    If I provide separate wsdl for each operation (in BPEL process I would have two partnerLinks instead of one) than it works fine.
    Does this mean that BPEL does not handle document/literal style endpoints with more than one port (operation)?
    I have tested this with the orabpel_2.0_J1_win32.exe and orabpel_2.0rc9_win32.exe. Web Services, used for this test, are deployed in Jboss 3.2.3 and axis-1_2beta3.

  • Problem with more than one item in a track

    DVDSP 4.0.2 / OSX.4.2 I've built a DVD with several tracks. In each track I've placed several .m2v files, one after another. Finished build plays fine on my Mac and on one of my stand alone DVD players. But on another stand alone (Sony DVP-S360) something very odd happens. DVD begins to play just fine, but whenever it encounters a track with more than one source file, it will play until it gets to the spot in the program where the second source file is in the track and then it hangs and won't do anything. I'm just curious if anyone has any insight into this problem. Is it a DVDSP conflict thing with certain players? Or is this Sony player just not capable of playing a DVD built this way? Thanks.

    This page here:
    http://www.videohelp.com/dvdplayers.php?DVDnameid=428&Search=Search&
    has someone talking about finally getting burned DVDs to work, which suggests they previously had problems. I can't think why the track would not seem like continuous video, as if it had always been that way. Our Sony DVD player at work seems sensitive to higher data rates. What data rate did you use?
