PowerMac G4 having problems with new RAM modules!

dear all,
I’ve recently got 2 512 MB Ram module from a British eBay dealer, to be used on 2 different but very similar PowerMac G4 AGP Graphichs 400 MHz machines.
I installed the first module in my father’s Mac, and it works fine, no problems of any sort. Then, a few days later, I installed the other module in my PowerMac, and immediately it started behaving very erratically: some programs didn’t open at all and others crashed with no warning, I tried to run Rember but it soon get stuck. I assumed the Ram module was faulty, emailed the dealer (who’s been very helpful) and then sent it back to get a replacement. The new module arrived yesterday, I installed it... and it was even worse: as some programs didn’t open as soon as the new module was installed, I rebooted the PowerMac but it hasn’t been able even to load the OS anymore, it just stopped at the blue screen forever, once came out a black screen and a Darwin login, but nothing else. As soon as I removed the Ram module the PowerMac started to work perfectly again.I'd assume again there's something wrong in the Ram module, but isn't it too much unlucky to get 2 faulty modules one after the other, or maybe the problem could somewhere else, in my PowerMac?!?
Unfortunately I can't test the new module in my father's machine, as we live 700 kms apart.
My hardware details are:
Power Mac G4
Model: PowerMac3,3
CPU: PowerPC G4 (2.9)
1 CPU
CPU Speed: 400 MHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 1 MB
Memory: 896 MB
Bus speed: 100 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.2.8f1
thanks!

ok, I've now tried every possible combination... but with no success
First, taking out one of the "old" 128 MB I realized it was one of the High density DIMMs (chips on one side only) Japamac was mentioning, in total 2 of the 128 modules were like this. However, taking out one or both of them, or even having only the "new" 512 MB module in, hasn't changed much, sometimes the OS booted, sometimes not but there were always some programs not opening/crashing and Rember got stuck with an error message. With just the "new" module the booting stopped at the blue screen (only blue, no apple splash screen in the centre).
With the new module plus one of the old 128 MB modules (the one with chips on both sides) Rember got stuck very soon, and the error message was:

  • Satellite L30 10Y doesn't boot with new RAM modules

    Hi,
    just regged with this forum as I am having a memory upgrade problem.
    I have read through a few of the memory problems on here and all users say its a comaptible memory issue. I had Hynix 512MB RAM in my laptop and I purchased 2 x 1GB of Hynix memory both of these are matching sticks to the installed memory but when I installed them my laptop wouldnt boot at all. It would only boot if I had one stick in at a time.
    I tried switching top and btm ports and even when one stick was installed it says in XP, Vista and Windows 7 (yes I have tried all systems) 896MB available. I even tried using my other Hynix stick but it only booted and showed the highest stick of 1GB (896MB usable in Windows 7). After reading all the threads I'm just wondering if this is a hardware fault or is there a fix in the Toshiba world or perhaps in the Toshiba world the L series is nearly obselete and not worth the bother to help out the people who unwittingly bought thier merchandise.
    I apologise for being a bit down on Toshiba but a laptop which states what it can run and doesnt a company should hold its hand up and say yes there is a fault and help deal with the problem.

    You are seeing 896MB because the rest is reserved for the Graphics Card VRAM.
    Sometimes RAM can simply be not compatible, due to timing incompatibilities or RAM chip/controller design differences.
    What speed and timing is your original RAM?
    PCxxxx / DDRxxx =

  • Problems with new RAM

    I bought new ram for my macbook Unibody (7.1) to update from 2gb (2x1Gb) to 4gb (2x2Gb). I replaced the old ram to the new ones, but when I turn the computer on it produces five beeps and continues doing that until I turn it off. But when I put one 1gb old ram in one slot and in the other slot a 2gb new ram it works perfectly and it says that I have 3gb (that means that the computer also recognized the new ram).
    The new ram came from a mac mini, and they are 1333mhrz while the old ones are 1066mhrz, but I heard that when the ram admits more speed than the slot speed they can be used with te speed from the computer (if my macbook has 1066mhrz slots, then, the 1333mhrz ram will work at 1066).
    Can you help me?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're users here and do not speak for "Apple Inc."
    Macs are notoriously 'picky' about RAM memory timing!
    Although what you suggest about RAM timing might work in SOME computers, your Mac obviously does not work with the 'faster' RAM inserted in both memory slots, hence the black screen and 5 beeps.
    Indeed, some sellers label faster RAM with a slower spec, and indeed some computers don't have a problem with that, but it is not true in this case.
    You have several options:
    1. Go back to the original 2x1GB RAM modules.
    2. Use one of the 2GB with an original 1GB module for a 3GB configuration. It's still a 50% increase in available RAM for your system from 2GB. If you start getting frequent Kernel Panics, that is an indication that the faster 2GB RAM just won't work in your system.
    3. Purchase two of the correct RAM modules with the proper specs. Your Unibody can hold 8GB or even 16GB if you're running OS X 10.7 or newer: http://blog.macsales.com/16302-some-2010-mac-owners-can-get-more-ram-than-they-t hought

  • HPL2208w having problems with new laptop.

    Hi
    I have a HPL2208w 22inch monitor which seems to be playing up on my new Dell laptop. The laptop only has a HDMI port so i am connecting the vga cable from the monitor to the Dell via an adapter.
    The screen shows for a few minutes and requests that the range (i assume resolution) be changed to 1680x1650. For some reason i cannot change the setting of the laptop to that. When i do change to that resolution (only if the monitor is sole output and not dual output) the warning message remains on the screen and the screen is not at its best (clarity wise).
    The Dell runs Win 7 64bit but the monitor worked on my previous Dell with the same version of Windows (with a VGA connection).
    Kind regards

  • Satellite L300-16L - BSOD with new RAM modules

    Hi,
    I have got a Satellite L300-16L and am getting the same problem.
    Got 2 x 1 GB Dimms standard and ordered 2 new 2GB Dimms. If I put the 2 new 2GB Dimms in I get the BSOD, Memtest also crashes as soon as it begins testing. If I place a 1 GB Dimm in the lower slot and a 2GB in the other windows boots fine, If I try to put the 2 GB in the lower slot and the 1 GB in the higher one it BSODs.
    But If i put either 2 GB in on the lower slot on its own windows boots fine, mem test also can test both 2 GBs individually and says there are no issues.
    Any ideas anyone? My laptop is supposed to support 4 GB I am sure of it.
    Thanks
    JJ

    Who knows the point is that you got BSOD using new modules.
    This means that modules are wrong or not compatible!!!!
    So even the notebook would be able to handle the 4GB RAM, the BSOD is related to these new modules.
    This would mean that you would have to use adn test other modules which are 100% compatible with this notebook
    But as suggested by other users, the chipset is not 4GB capable! Therefore you will be not able to use 4GB RAM.

  • Having problems with new WebLogic MS SQL driver WLS 8.1

    Hi,
    We've recently migrated our application from WLS 6.1 to WLS 8.1. We use an MS SQL database. In 6.1 we used the (now deprecated) weblogic.jdbc.mssqlserver4.Driver driver. In 8.1 we now use the new weblogic.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver driver. We now are seeing NullPointerExceptions with the new driver that we never saw when running in 6.1 (with the old driver). The exception is occuring at the driver level. I'll paste some of the stack traces below but here is a quick synopsis of our usage pattern:
    -standard get-use-close pattern on the connection for each request (connection is closed in finally block).
    -pool size: min 1, max 7, increment 5
    -test on reserver enabled
    -we are simply reading data (no updates)
    -we use a single thread that hits the database so there is only ever one active application thread hitting the DB.
    -we are using a stored proc.
    -we setTimeout on the statement (initial testing seems to indicate that query timeout seems to be at the root of the problem)
    The problem seems to occur when statement timeouts occur. I can recreate the problem by setting the statement timeout to 1 sec and throwing a lot data at the DB. What seems to occur is a query hits the timeout and a SocketException is thrown, subsequent queries then throw a NullPointer in the driver layer. Again, this is the behavior under WLS 8.1 with the new weblogic.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver driver. If I use the old driver (weblogic.jdbc.mssqlserver4.Driver) under WLS 8.1 all I get is the SocketException (which is what I want). This application ran under WLS 6.1 with the old driver processing millions of queries without any problems.
    We are wondering:
    (1) Is this a known problem?
    (2) Is there a recommended workaround?
    Cheers, and as always thanks in advance for any help.
    Stack traces follow.
    Thank,
    Mich

    Hi,
    Thanks for the prompt reply. In answer to your questions:
    What I would like to know is the exact code/sequence that causes the subsequent exception. See the sequence of calls at the end of this reply.
    Is this in the same thread in the very next call?
    I replicated the problem by going through the Web container (5 clients) therefore WebLogic threads are used in this case. I see from the logs 4-5 different execute threads at work (ex. ExecuteThread: '10' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default').
    Does it happen all the time?
    Although it is tough to tell for sure, once it starts happening it seems to happen most if not all the time.
    Is it an attempted re-use of the same statement, or trying to use a different statement?
    We do a connection.prepareStatement(QUERY_STRING) call everytime (there is only one per request/response cycle). I believe WLS caches statements behind the scenes though so I suspect at that level there is reuse. There is only one stored proc used (we vary the params per call).
    Please show me your pool definition from the config.xml
    file, and I will send you instructions to produce some
    debug info that will get us to the heart of this matter.
    <JDBCConnectionPool
    DriverName="weblogic.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver"
    MaxCapacity="5" Name="THE POOL"
    PasswordEncrypted="XXX"
    Properties="user=XXX;portNumber=XXX;databaseName=XX;serverName=X.X.X.X"
    Targets="Server"
    TestConnectionsOnReserve="true" TestTableName="TEST_TABLE" URL="jdbc:bea:sqlserver://X.X.X.X:XXX"/>Ok, do these things:
    1 - Add our spy attribute to your pool definition, like this:
    <JDBCConnectionPool
    DriverName="weblogic.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver"
    MaxCapacity="5" Name="THE POOL"
    PasswordEncrypted="XXX"
    Properties="user=XXX;portNumber=XXX;databaseName=XX;serverName=X.X.X.X"
    Targets="Server"
    TestConnectionsOnReserve="true"
    TestTableName="TEST_TABLE"
    URL="jdbc:bea:sqlserver://X.X.X.X:XXX;spyAttributes=(log=(file)spy.log;timestamp=yes)"/>
    2 - Edit the start-weblogic script to add the spy jar (wlspy.jar) to the
    classpath that the script creates for the server, eg:
    set CLASSPATH=%WL_HOME%\server\lib\wlspy.jar;%CLASSPATH%
    3 - Reboot and duplicate the problem as briefly as possible.
    4 - In the same directory where you start the server, you will
    now find a file named 'spy.log'. Please send it to me. ( j o e AT b e a DOT c o m )
    I will try to reproduce the problem.
    5 - Ask BEA support for the latest BEA driver package and install it according to
    their instructions. Let me know asap if the probem is still there.
    thanks

  • Having problems with new ipad and charging?? Help me please

    I have the new ipad with retina display and it had that new smaller charger as you probably already know, well I've only had this ipad for about three months and I've already gone through two chargers for the same problem which is When I plug it in it does not charge unless I unplug it and plug it in about 40 times and then it starts to charge! Do you think it may have something to do with the ipad itself or am I just getting faulty chargers? It's not that cheap to keep re-buying these chargers ):

    Since your iPad is quite new, why are you "re-buying" chargers?  Are you not using the charger that came in the box -- the original Apple charger?  If you were doing that, and did not mishandle the charger (e.g., tug on the cord to pull the charger out of the wall socket), Apple would take care of the charger under its warranty.
    So I suspect you're either mishandling the charger (not likely), or using some third party charger (more likely).
    If it's the original Apple charger, and you're not mishandling it, contact Apple for assistance.

  • After downloading Maverick, suddenly I'm having problems with new windows (like with Blackboard) closing automatically. Anyone else?

    A few weeks after downloading Maverick, I noticed that some attempts to use software that opens new windows (like Blackboard) are now failing as soon as that window opens. Is this a glitch with Maverick?

    Yes! Been living in a hellish nightmare since Sept-Oct. Unlike you, however, Apple has been of no help. They say the iPad is unhackable, plist and crash reports are none of my business and who understands them anyway, their route tracing apps are probably not reliable. The best they could do was wipe the iPad clean. Lost photos they said would be in the cloud....
    Almost immediately was back in somebody's VPN, their remote controller, video, audio, working. Got the purple buddy for the first time today. I have been invaded, my iPad no longer feels like my own, I have lost thanksgiving, Christmas, new year trying to track down the invaders, signed up for a Cisco course, set/reset passwords.
    I don't know who else to contact... Or what next to do.
    I've read similar frustration in other posts, scattered around the support communities. Yours is the only one that has worked toward a solution.
    How did you get anyone at apple to look at your logs and acknowledge there is a problem?
    Would be happy for a suggestion on how to proceed. Already been the apple store genius and tech on phone route.

  • Tecra S3 - problems with new ram in slot B

    Hello,
    I have a new 2 GB ram. When I put it in Slot A (Slot B is empty) it works perfect. When I put my old ram (1GB) in Slot B now and try to powerup, I hear Beeps: 1x long, and 4x short. The Screen stays black. Do you know what this is?
    Thanks for your help!!

    Hi
    The beeps mean that the POST (power on self test) could not be passed properly.
    Either your B slot malfunctions or the notebook needs 2 memory modules installed in two slots in order to use the also the second memory slot.
    But my assumption is that your second slot might be faulty.

  • I just updated to new final cut pro x 10.1.1 and i am also on mavericks so but on my editing timeline i was trying to color grade using magic bullet looks but i am having problem with it. when it comes back to tcp x it's black.

    I just updated to the new final cut pro x 10.1.1 and i am also on mavericks so but on my editing timeline i was trying to color grade using magic bullet looks but i am having problem with it. When i send a sample to MBL and color grade it , it comes back to final cut pro x all black even after render. By the way on the MBL i am using the GPU rendering, I used before like 4months ago and it was fine. And i don't like to use the CPU because it very slow.

    What is the frame rate of the project? At what frame rate was the media recorded? What frame size?
    What are the audio settings?
    What are the specs of the machine, in particular how much RAM, how is the hard drive connected, etc.?
    If possible, post screenshots of the inspector for the project.
    It could be related to the audio frequency?

  • Need some help - having problems with Dell Workstation BIOS not making all RAM usable

    Hi,
    I'm having problems upgrading the RAM in my T7400 workstation. I previously had 8 x 1 Gb modules and I'm now trying to use 8 x 2Gb (total 16 Gb). This fills up all 8 DIMM slots on the motherboard.
    The replacement RAM is of the correct type, PC2-5300F DDR2, CL5, EEC Fully Buffered (same type as I had before). Each stick is also the same manufacturer (HP Micron), size, rank, timings etc. The problem is the BIOS won't recognise more than 8Gb as usable (it does detect all 8 sticks as it lists out all of the modules).
    This is what I've tried so far:
    Tested each module independently in DIMM slot 1 and it's recognised fine. (And I know all of the slots work, since I previously had 8 x 1Gb working ok).
    I tried putting 8 Gb in DIMM slots 1-4, still only reporting 4 Gb usable (all modules detected).
    I ran memory tests, everything checked out fine.
    I reset the CMOS with the RTC jumper (suggested elsewhere on the forums).
    I could find no bios option to remap memory.
    Windows 7 Pro also shows 16Gb installed but only 8Gb usable (this is not an OS issue, since the BIOS is showing the same problem, before it even gets to loading Windows).
    I haven't tried flashing the BIOS but I doubt this is the issue. I've been through the changelog of each revision after mine and it doesn't mention anything about fixes to memory detection (Also similar reports of my issue said upgrading the BIOS made no difference). I'd rather not mess things up when everything else runs smoothly and I'm very much out of warranty.
    Of course, Dell won't help directly without trying to bill me for technical support.
    Can anyone please suggest anything else I can try?
    Thanks for reading.

    Dimms that show half of the ram are High Density 4 rank and not compatible. Any ole Joes crab shack ram doesn't work. Only Specific vendors ram works. Buying ram based on a cheap price almost guarantees that its high density.  High density modules have less ram chips on them and are therefore cheaper.
    DDR2 PC2-5300 • CL=5 • Fully Buffered • ECC • DDR2-667 • 1.8V • 1024Meg x 72 •
    HIGH Density Ram WILL NOT WORK.

  • I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. Starting on a new computer now. I can get my music from old computer?

    I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. As of now i realize this was a mistake. Starting on a new computer now. I cant get my music to transfer from the itunes folder on the old computer? I keep getting error "Can't Read from the source file or disk." Whenever I got to folder properties its always checked read only. But when i play the song it works just fine. Im sure this is just because I added music into itunes folder but is there anyway to fix it?

    WMA files are 'window media audio' files, which is a Microsoft format. If you want to add them to your iTunes library on your Mac then you will need to convert them into a compatible format first. If you still have your windows machine then iTunes for Windows can convert them from WMA to MP3 format : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24158701#24158701
    Or try a search for, for example, 'convert wma to mp3' to find programs to convert them.
