Problem in installing a new DDR RAM on my board MSI 915GLM-V

Hi,
I have a System whose configuration is as follows
Mainboard:MSI 915GLM-V
Processor: Intel P4 3.06Mhz(533 FSB)
Bios :Award V3.3
Memory: 256MB(64*4) DDR RAM in one DIMM slot(333 Mhz).
I wanted to increase the memory to 512 MB and hence bought a new256 MB(333 MHZ and 32 *8) card. But whenever I insert my card, My system never boots up. I am unable to even enter the bios.
I even replaced my old DDR RAM with this new one. But still my system never comes up. Is there any reason that my system is not recognising the new memory. Or is it that 32*8 not supported by this motherboard.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ravitej

Sorry, your DDR RAM is not supported. You need 64*4 for 256MB, or 64*8 for 512MB.

I see that i have a problem after installing my new hard drive on my macbook pro mid 2009 version. I put a new hard drive, with all of my information from my old drive installed on it, into the computer. but now have the blinking question mark folder

i see that i have a problem after installing my new hard drive on my macbook pro mid 2009 version. I put a new hard drive, with all of my information from my old drive installed on it, into the computer. but now have the blinking question mark folder. I see that it means that it isn't reading the new hard drive.
did i miss a step between transferring all of my information from my old hard drive to the new hard drive and installing the new hard drive into the computer. I believe that i installed properly. it was quite easy.
thanks for your help

It means there is no bootable system on the drive. If you still have access to the old drive, then I suggest you boot from it then clone it to the new internal drive. Use OPTION boot to boot from the Recovery HD on the old drive:
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
     1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue
         button.
     2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
     3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
     4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it
         to the Destination entry field.
     5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
         the Source entry field.
     6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Source means the external old drive. Destination means the new internal drive.

Problem with install on new compy, something to do with external?

Hello, so I have been having a few problems with installing Arch on my new computer. On my old laptop I never ran into this problem on any distro of LINUX I installed, nor on any other of the systems I have installed Arch on. I believe it might have something to do with the fact that I am running the live cd off of an external dvd drive maybe? I am kind of stuck here, so any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
If it helps

You can try to fix the problem manually, log out when you are finished

If you need any other info, I can grab it of course.

Internal Hard drive start up problems scince installing a new one

Hi All,
I had installed a new WD Green hard drive in my intel 17" iMac.
I set up via Leopard the installation process and all went well (Disk utilities, partition etc).
When I was initially installing applications/upgrades and restarting the computer (not powering off) the system was running well.
So, I powered off and when I came back to the iMac and powered on, I came to a grey screen which showed a folder icon with a question mark in it. It did not recognise my new hard drive.
I went back to the installation disk and pressed the 'C' key and went to disk utilities. It recognised the hard drive and the installed system, and when restarted it booted back into the Leopard OS. I thought all was fixed. I powered off again and the same gray screen and icon came back. (I had previously set via System preferences the start up disk etc).
I reinstalled my original hard drive and powering off and on is not a problem-it booted straight back into Leopard.
Any clues what is going on?
Many Thanks Fred.

I wrote to WD with my WD HDD Model and serial number:
'Is this hard drive bootable with my iMac 17" Intel'?
Reply today:
Thank you for contacting Western Digital Customer Service and Support. My name is Joel O.
I truly apologize that you are having problems with your product. The drive is bootable if you set it up in that way, but try this:
1- Go to ''Finder'' and click on the option ''Go''.
2- Click on ''Utilities''.
3- Click on ''Disk utility''.On that window take a look to see if the drive is listed
4- Click on the drive ( it will appear twice, select the one that shows the capacity)
5- Click on ''First Aid''.
6- Select ''Repair Disk''
I hope that we have met your expectations today and that you are satisfied with our service. If you have any further questions, please reply to this email and we will be happy to assist you further.

Problems to install my new Illustrator CS6

I bought a new Illustrator CS6 programm in a german shop. TRied to get serial number by internet to get the programm registrated and installed.
After I entered by the code on www.adobe.com/go/getserial_de I only got a link for a Creative Cloud Set up to download.
My CD which I bought is not usable without the serial number.
After Set up Download I can see the APPS, all as test version, Illustrator is marked as " will be installed"
but nothing happens.
Cache is big enough with 550MB I checked it, but it will not download my new version.
People in the shop where I bought it have also tried it without success and told me it is an Adobe problem not theirs.
What shall I do?

Problem during installing a new SAP ABAP system

Dear experts,
we are installing a brand new system, but we are facing a VERY strange error:

Hi Symon,
It looks to be issue with Oracle instant client setup and configuration
Please refer SAP note to perform Oracle instant client setup

Once this is done, stop listener and start it again.
Then resume with installation.
Hope this helps.

I have a problem about install a new database on asm in RAC

i installed crs and oracle db,next step i want to create a db on asm using dbca.rsp
following info is some options in dbca.rsp,but i do not know how to edit my template file(here is mydb.dbc),let the datafile path point to ASM disk
if it will create ASM diskgroup ORADG,it will also create path +ORADG/oradata directory automatically during dbca's create process?
and can i put flash_recovery_are on asm?

Hi,
wouldn't create database using dbca is more easy and error-less?
Template file format is basically like xml format. If you have created Diskgroup then you can use
$ dbca -silent -createDatabase -templateName General_Purpose.dbc -gdbName mydb -sid mydb1,mydb2 -SysPassword Myss123456 -SystemPassword Myss123456 -emConfiguration NONE -storageType ASM -asmSysPassword Myss123456 -diskGroupName ORADG

Problem when installing a new version sdk into flex builder 3

i downloaded flex sdk 3.4.0 and unzipped it under the "sdks" floder,i think there should be an "Add" button to let me select it,but the button was gone.
any help please?

Hi Matt,
Following your observation I have copied the folders:
/templates/client-side-detection
/templates/client-side-detection-with-history
/templates/express-installation
/templates/express-installation-with-history
/templates/no-player-detection
/templates/no-player-detection-with-history
from Flex sdk 3.3 to Flex sdk 4 and that solved the issue.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Problem after installing 10.4.8

Hello,
I installed the 10.4.8 update today. I have a brand new macbook. When the update finished downloading, my screen just turned blank, my computer didn't react at all. I could hear the fan and that was it.
So, I waited for some minutes, nothing happened. I decided to restart it by pressing the power button for a few seconds.
The computer is working perfectly now and the update was installed. But, how do I know if my computer or the HD were affected? I ran the HD test and it says that the HD seems OK.
Is that a problem with my computer or is it because of the new update? I read a posting that mentioned similar problems after installing the new update.
Thanks...

How did you update? Mac OS X 10.4.8 Update (delta)?
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304200
After installing the delta version of this update on an Intel-based Mac, the computer will restart two times--the first restart after installing this update may take several minutes; please allow it to complete.

Error after installing the new JSF release

I've got a problem to install the new JSF release. I downloaded the Web Services Developer Pack 1.3 from the homepage and installed it. Then, i downloaded the actual release of the JSF 1.0 as a zip file. I removed the existing jsf directory in the original WSDP and extracted the zip file into the home directory of the WSDP. Then I renamed the directory from jsf-1.0 to jsf and started the tomcat again.
But then I get the following errors and tomcat isn't working at all:

Your server may be in an unstable state if you did not remove all of the old cached files.
I recommend you clear out your <JWSDP_HOME>/work directory and remove all the <JWSDP_HOME>/conf/Catalina/localhost/jsf* files and restart your server.

Please a simple problem but I don't know how to solve it. After installing 16 gb of ram all is good but when I turn on the computer it is a window signaling that all is correct. How is possible to delete once and for all that window? Thank you

Well then maybe you could take a screenshot because the appearance of such a window is news to me.
Also post your OS X version and what model Mac you have. The more detail, the better. Thanks.
To take a screenshot hold ⌘ Shift 4 to create a selection crosshair. Click and hold while you drag the crosshair over the area you wish to capture and then release the mouse or trackpad. You will hear a "camera shutter" sound. This will deposit a screenshot on your Desktop.
If you can't find it on your Desktop look in your Documents or Downloads folder.
When you post your response, click the "camera" icon above the text field:
This will display a dialog box which enables you to choose the screenshot file (remember it's on your Desktop) and click the Insert Image button.
⌘ Shift 4 and then pressing the space bar captures the frontmost window.
⌘ Shift 3 captures the entire screen.
Drag the screenshot to the Trash after you post your reply.

Hi Ted,
At this point I think you should get Applejack...
At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
Ignore the MacKeeper ad no matter what else you decide.
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.
Just sits there occupying very little space & never interfering, unless you need to invoke it in Single User Mode.

Dv5-1225, id like to install some new ram, but before i buy any, will new bios take ddr3?

I have a dv5-1225ca laptop, and im looking to upgrade the ram, however, i have been through many resources and nothing firmly states this laptop will not accept ddr3 ram, however the ram that came with the laptop is ddr2. ddr2 ram is well over twice the price now adays since it isnt developed much since the new age is nearly compleetly dominated by ddr3 so i dont suspect the price will come down soon, im just curious if i was to replace booth sims with ddr3 with the most current bios update will i be fine, id rather not pay for the higher price untill i have tracked down an answer, and im not going to pay for ddr3 ram just to settle my curiosity incase it dosnt work
This question was solved.

Hi:
DDR3 memory won't work in a system board with DDR2 memory slots.
The memory is not compatible and to stop folks from installing the wrong DDR rated memory, they cut the slots in different locations.
So, if you want to upgrade the memory in your machine you will need to stick with DDR2 memory modules.
Use the Crucial memory scanner to determine what kind of memory you need.
I can't find any specifics. I think DDR2 PC2-6400 and your product specs page states you can install up to 8 GB with a 64 bit OS.
http://www.crucial.com/systemscanner/
Then, this is the DDR2 notebook memory I use for 2 x 4GB installs.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220382
The prices sure have gone up. I think the last time I paid for these chips they were $45.00 each!
