Problem after installing new ram

Just installed 1 MB of new ram. Everything appears to work with one very annoying problem that never existed prior to installation of ram. The problem is that the window moves slightly with any movement of the mouse. Not a great deal but enough to hide the menu at top of screen. I ran an Apple Hardware Test and all hardware passed. I changed the mouse but no cure. This happens with nothing running so I assume it is not software. It doesn't appear to affect the operation but it tends to make one sea sick with the up and down and side to side motion anytime the mouse is moved.
Shure would appreciate any help with this.

Mac crashes regularly after installing new RAM

My laptop crashes at least once a day ever since installing new RAM. It seems to be triggered by quitting programs, usually Firefox, Logic or Spotify. There was nothing else connected to the Mac that brought about the latest crash but I do use an Mbox 2 on a regular basis.
Below is the last crash report and also the RAM profile. It's Kingston brand if that means anything.

It's almost impossible to trace back the panic report to a specific cause, but it's highly suspicious that you started experiencing problems after installing new RAM.
It's also strange that your RAM has no stated VendorID, Part Number or Serial Number.
I would return this memory poste haste.
Alternatively, if the DIMMs are from Kingston's ValueRAM range, just dump them in the garbage because that's where they belong. While you're there, look for any other RAM that someone else has thrown away - chances are its ValueRAM, too (hint: I have never seen a single ValueRAM DIMM work in any of my systems, so I avoid them like the plague - shame, since Kingston used to have such a good reputation).

Laptop freezes after installing new ram card.

Hi,

and the laptop wouldn't wake from the sleep mode....
please help me this is urgent...as for im leaving my home country for studies.
thanks for the help in advance

Hello Malith Ratnayake,
After changing the old RAM by the new one, this issue occurs?
If the issue doesn’t occur when you change back to use old ram, I think it is the RAM hardware issue.
Please contact the hardware manufacturer for better support.
Best regards,

4 hrs later - Computer shut down after installing new RAM (mid 2007 Imac)

Mid 2007 imac and I installed new Ram. It worked for 4 hrs then the Imac shutdown. The pressed power button but no power. Unplugged and replugged the power cord and 3 beeps sounded. I am wondering if it worked for 4 hrs or so, then why did it would it fail 4 hrs later?
I am running the correct ram because in system profiler under memory - it said that everything was ok.
Any ideas?

or maybe the back tray wasn't tight enough?
I re-installed it now and so far so good.... I pressed tight and in an upwards motion. We'll see what happens

Problems after installing new memory stick

The problem that I have is this:
I have an iMac PPC G5 2.1 GHz 20" w/ built-in iSight which was purchased in April 2006. Last week I purchased a certified 1 GB stick of RAM from OWC. I installed the RAM per the instructions given in the owner's manual. I restarted my computer and the RAM was not recognized in "About This Mac", nor was it listed in the Apple System Profiler. I thought that maybe I hadn't seated the RAM properly, so I removed the stick and repeated the installation process. I called and spoke to a tech at OWC who walked me through resetting the PRAM and NVRAM. This was not successful in forcing the RAM to be recognized. I have returned the RAM to OWC and am expecting a replacement from them within the next week or two.
(As a side note, after each repeat of the process, the computer would not shutdown as quickly as it had been since I purchased it. I waited for one minute and then forced a shutdown via hoding the power button in. I made two attempts at a clean install of the OS. Both times there was an error at the very beginning of the install process that would not allow it to continue and required a restart). I am highly concerned about the shutdown issue and the inability to re-install the OS.
Has anybody had or heard of an issue like the one that I have just decribed?
iMac G5 20" iSight Mac OS X (10.4.7) w/ Bluetooth keyboard & mouse

I completed the Disk Warrior rebuild but it did not solve my problem. It has even added a new problem. Now the "Starting Mac OS X..." progress bar that runs prior to the appearance of the desktop image is still on my screen after the desktop image is loaded. It is starting to look like I need a fresh install of the OS, but I can't do that either. Somebody please help!!! I am glad that I bought the AppleCare protection.
I am going to give the "fsck" thing a try before I give up.

After installing new RAM module macbook will not wake without re-start

Im having a little problem with my macbook. It operates normally and the new RAM appears to function as normal except when the computer is in sleep mode, it appears to sleep as normal but when the lid is raised or the power button depressed to wake the system up it will not do so without a full re-start. Any help is much appreciated. I have tried re-setting the PRAM and performing the usual maintenance functions from OnyX.
Thank you.

Did replacing the RAM fix the problem? I am also experiencing the same issue. The RAM works great when the computer is running but occasionally I cannot get the computer out of sleep mode and must reset the entire machine. Is the only cause of this a bad stick of RAM?

MacBook won't even turn on after installing new ram

I am using the 2010 MacBook (white 13 inch) I bought ram (two 2gb modules) and was going to install it. I removed my Original ram, but accidentally powered it on it the process (no ram was inside). I got a longed beep. I held the power button and shut it off. I then put the ram back in and it won't turn on. I don't hear any parts moving, no power, nothing. Yes I put the ram in right, an it's tight as can be. Its pushed in well. Help! I never put the new ram in!

The new ram doesn't fit. The laptop won't turn on with old ram. It worked before I removed it now it doesn't. It's I'm there tight so don't tell me to put it in with pressure because I did

Permissions problems after installing new hard drive

I backed up my old hard drive with SuperDuper!, then installed a new hard drive. When I tried to install my backup on the new hard drive with Disk Utility, it would work fine and then hang. It wouldn't finish, even overnight. So I installed a clean copy of leopard on the new hard drive, and then used Migration Assistant to move everything over from my backup. Worked great, until I actually tried to use the computer. Tons of permissions issues, mail and address book wouldn't run, Skype won't run even after installing an upgraded version, etc. What's weird, is my main account is an administrator account, but logging on as root and trying to remove admin permissions from my main account, the checkbox is greyed out! I also don't have a UID 501 on the system. I'm 502, and my wife's account is 503. I can't fix permissions from the finder, and in certain cases can't get them changed in terminal logged in as root. I don't know how to get my data from my old hard drive (which is running 10.5.1) to my new hard drive (also 10.5.1) Please help me! Thanks.

Hey Shawn,
Have you looked at the permissions with "Get Info"? Are they listed as belonging to "unkown user"?
First of all, see the Apple doc <href="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306876">Administator user changed to standard.
After you clear that up, you'll probably have to remove the "unkown user" and add your user as the owner of all your folders. During that process, finder will probably crash. At that point, try running <a href="http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5670342#5670342>this terminal command described in "mlaster's" second posting.
Good luck!

Exchange 2007 - Outlook Anywhere problems after installing new SSL cert

*** Original thread posted on wrong forum ***
Hi all,
Exchange 2007 environment (2x CAS, ISA2006). Not much familiar with Exchange.
Problem: 20-odd machines off the domain use Outlook Anywhere (XP with Outlook 2010). AUthentication pop-up and not able to connect.
Company has recently changed its name and we have to renewed the SSL cert. Previous SSL cert. was issued to: webmail.oldcompname.co.uk (several SANs on that cert., including internal server names).
Applied for a new UCC SSL cert issued to: newcompanyname.com (also includes webmail.newcompanyname.com ; autodiscover.newcompanyname.com + old SANs).
The setting on those machines point the proxy to the following:
Https://webmail.oldcompname.co.uk (which is fine since it is in the cert and can be accessed)
Only connect to proxy servers that have this principal name in their cert.:
msstd:webmail.oldcompname.co.uk (I believe this is the problem since the new UCC SSL cert. was issued to newcompanyname.com).
Browsing technet + internet it seems that I need to look into OutlookProvider EXPR.
When I run Get-OutlookProvider everything is blank (I believe I should be concerned to EXPR only for Outlook Anywhere).
I am thinking of running: Set-OutlookProvider -Identity EXPR -CertPrincipalName msstd:newcomanyname.com
My only concern is whether this might break something else in the Exchange environment, especially as we have 100+ users on smartphones connecting via SSL on webmail.oldcompname.co.uk
Is it save to run this command? Do I need to re-start IIS? Do I need to look into any settings on ISA2006?
Comments/help are much appreciated.
Regards

Hi,
According to the description, I found that we re-new a SSL certificate.
"I am thinking of running: Set-OutlookProvider -Identity EXPR -CertPrincipalName msstd:newcomanyname.com"
Just do it. Then remove the old certificate on ISA server and install a new one.
Found a similar thread for your reference:

Startup problems after instaling new graphics card drivers

PC: HP p6520 f with a 400 watt power supply
video card: AMD Radeon 6570 (MD1GD3)
After getting the 400 watt power supply, I was able to uninstall the intergrated graphics card's drivers, but I can't succsesfully startup after installing drivers for the new card without a system restore, which of course gets rid of the new drivers.
I've tried newer drivers, but those don't work either.
Any suggestions?

Macbook dead after installing new ram (1gb in each slot)

After upgrading my MB ram to 2gb (1gb each slot) my MB would not start, no lights or action. I replaced the old ram and still nothing. I then went to a genius bar and they tested it out and even replaced the ram with ones they had and still nothing. I was then told that the logic board was dead. Has anyone had this problem? Since it is out of warranty I have to pay $280 to have them repair it which is a flat fee and they will fix it no matter what is wrong which I find is better then some rates I have seen posted online for $600 just for the logic board itself.
My MB is the 1.83, could 2gb be too much? I have had the MB since July 2006 and recently had battery problems before I replaced the ram. Could this have fried the logic board?
having a mac nightmare right now!

Improperly seated RAM is fairly common... but I haven't seen many comments about inserting RAM actually damaging the logic board... but you do have to use quite a bit of force to get them in there. The good thing is the price that they are charging you for the repair... as you mentioned, I've never seen them charge that little for replacing a logic board. I wonder if that is something new.

HDD problem after installing new SSD

i bought a Kingstone SSD 60GB, and procced to a clean installation in my HP DV7-1020us laptop wich i love. All nice and good... i got out the HDD, install SSD in previously used HDD slot, install windows 7 on SSD partition, put the HDD in second hard drive bay that was it.
The problem is... after couples shuts down of my laptop (still working good), one time when i started, my laptop spent like 10-15 mins trying to start up the windows , ( i could hear my old HDD working hard) and after that i wanted to reach my HDD but i couldnt... i double click on the partition i want to open and my HDD starts working hard hard and in the end it says that i need to format it so i can acces it. My hdd haves 3 partitions... i runned disk checks and repairs and still doing the same. I finally formated all of it... all of my HDD partitions including the Recovery partition. My HDD works fine until i shut down my laptop for the first time after formating, then another 10-15 mins to start up and shut down the windows. Also if i connect my hdd via USB everything is fine ( if i previously format the HDD and connect it via USB). But if i move it back into my laptop in my sata slot things goes bad again. Also if i wait 10 mins at start up, get the hdd out and connect it via usb it still runs very ver very slow, and one partition asks me for formating. So i'm thinking that my second sata slot connection does something bad to my hdd.
I'm thinking that my second sata slot haves some problems... what should i do? I dont like my HDD working on my USB, it's a laptop, everything has to be integrated.
Oh and if i move my ssd from first sata slot to my second one, it says "please insert bootable device...."
Thank you, if u need more information please ask me

Hi mykey651,
Thank you for your query, I will do my utmost to assist you.
I grasp you have installed a SSD drive as the main drive and the original drive as a secondary. All works well until you reboot and then it is unable to locate the SSD.
Here is a link to HP Notebook Hard Drives & Solid State Drives Identifying, Preventing, Diagnosing and Recovering from...
If that has not helped, I suggest you go out to the bios and restore the defaults. This will reset the system and make it scan for installed hardware. This should help it to find the new SSD as the boot drive.
Here are two more documents that may be of help.

Problem after installing new AMD FX-4170 processor

Hello,
i just installed AMD FX-4170 on my MSI 890GXM-G65 mainboard. Then, when i start my computer, everything seems to be fine, all fans are working, those 4 proc. power LEDs are shining, everything is powered. But i get no signal to my monitor, cant get to BIOS, keyboard not working, nothing. I tried two different graphic cards, even that integrated one (not sure if it would work, when disabled in BIOS) nothing changed.
Same problem is when i place back the old Phenom processor. Black screen, from time to time No signal message on my monitor.
I have the lates BIOS 1.d.
Any suggestion?
Or am I screwed and have to buy new maiboard, because this one is somehow damaged?

clear CMOS helped. Computer is not very stable, second SSD disk (F: )(not the one with system) keeps disconnecting after some period of time, but at least i see what is happening it does not even show System reserved area (E: )of the system disk (C: ), that is normally visible...
RAID is set to AHCI, so it is ok.. the trick must be somewhere else.. i will check BIOS one more...

Problems after installing new version o iphone 3gs

I installed this evening the new version of my iphone 3gs and since then I cannot use my iphone nor reinitialise it beause it asks me to connect to itunes.When i connect it to the computer it say there is no pilot and doesnt manage to install a new pilot I telecharged the last version of itunes and reinstallated it, try again to reinstall the pilot but impossible to connect and I can't use my iphone
Help me please

A warm welcome Sabina!
i wonder if the issue is the new battery (can that cause a slow down
and malfunction of this sort).
Not too likely at all.
or if my HD is the problem.
Very likely, I would expect all Laptop HDs 4 or more years old to be failing by now.
i just read somewhere that whenever we do the updates we're supposed to do the permissions and i never knew to do that -- so i haven't ever done it. could that be the problem.
That and Verifying or Repairing the HD are sort of like looking both ways before you cross the street, neither may be necessary to cross the street, but it certainly can prevent problems during the crossing!
should i do a clean install of the system software and start from scratch.
I really think the Internal HD is on it's way out, but if you have a good/complete backup, actually a bootable clone on an external Firewire Drive is preferable... Best way to get an exact bootable copy of your old drive to the new one is with Carbon Copy Cloner...

thoughts would be appreciated. i don't have the money to take it anywhere to be fixed or to buy new -- so any help is greatly appreciated.
Without Money to replace the HD, you may be stuck booting off an external HD
