Qosmio X300 - CORSAIR RAM is not working

Hello,
I own a Toshiba Qosmio x300-130 and in users manuall it is said it support max 2 x 4gb ddr 3 =8gb
So today my CORSAIR RAM ARRIVED !!! AND i was suprised they didnt work !!!!
Ima out of tricks what do u think the pr is ?
here is the part number
cmso4gx3m1a1333c9 i bought 2 x4gb :(

Yup...... here is my story and how it went :)
it looks like modules with 1066 mhz are rare these days and apparently....... the newe ones which are 1600 will not work under any circumstance.....
So today the shop refunded my money and i decide to go by car and search for modules which are DDR3 and 1066 mhz and after 1-2 hours driving i found a small repair shop where, when i entered and asked they said they have.. and apparently this shop is collecting all these old modules and reselling them for good profit since these modules are more expensive than newer ones...
Anyway we tried Kingston, Samsung, Adata and many other companies all of them worked i wanted to buy 2x4GB=8Gb the which according to manuall the laptop supports max 8GB RAM !!! but i was shocked after we loaded the modules 2x8GB = 16Gb again 1066mhz ola !!!!
The laptop botted up and in phoenix Bios it showed 16GB !!! i was shocked ....... So i ended up buying the 16GB and went home happilly ever after ;)
I hope RAM problem resolved

  • MY iphone ram is not working what can i do?

    HI i am ahmad my iphone 5s ram is not working  my iphone is suddenly get down from my hands and get power of plz tell me what can i do

    Hey there Ahmad.altaf27,
    It sounds like you are unable to turn on your iPhone 5s. I would recommend the troubleshooting from the following article to help you get the issue resolved:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),  reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • [SOLVED] Suspend to ram / disk not working in newer kernels

    Hi all,
    this puzzles me for a while:
    My desktop system was able to suspend to ram / disk flawlessly in older kernels. It stopped working with 3.3. The suspend seems to work, the machine goes to standby. But when I try to resume, the machines is on but the screen stays black. Neither the console is working nor can I ssh into it. Only hard reset gets me out here
    I did investigate and found many tips and hints which all led to nowhere. I even changed my filesystem back from btrfs to ext4 and my VGA module from proprietary nvidia to nouveau.
    When this all failed I got to the idea to burn several install disks. One of the official 2011.08.19 (kernel 3.0.3) and one of the snapshots 2012.06.05_04-00-01 (kernel 3.3.7) and 2012.07.17_04-00-01 (kernel 3.4.4). I guess these can not be compromised by some hosed installation. I started one by one and issued the follwing command:
    echo mem > /sys/power/state
    which suspends the machine successfully in all three cases. With 2011.08.19 the resume is working but the other two fail. Some more info about the hardware:

    Another life-sign. The issue is still unsolved but I've come a little further. It seems to be a combination of more failures. The first one is USB hardware. I have a usb keyboard-mouse combo from Logitech (comfort cordless desktop). The USB bus does not wake up correctly when resuming from suspend. So my keyboard is unsuable. I put in a file /etc/pm/sleep.d/20_custom-ehci_hcd with the following content:
    BUSES="0000:00:1a.7 0000:00:1d.7"
    case "${1}" in
    hibernate|suspend)
    # Switch USB buses off
    for bus in $BUSES; do
    echo -n $bus | tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd/unbind
    done
    resume|thaw)
    # Switch USB buses back on
    for bus in $BUSES; do
    echo -n $bus | tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd/bind
    done
    esac
    The bus IDs were taken from /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd
    When I start pm-suspend from a console (no X started) this seems to reanimate my keyboard while the screen stays black (with backlight on). I can type and reboot. Also I can ssh into the machine from my laptop.
    Concerning the blank screen there seems to be a bug in both the proprietary nvidia modules as well as the nouveau driver. The nvidia folks have issued a new beta driver which seems to at least minimize the failures. This all concerns the nv50-family of nvidias cards. I have a GF8600GT which is one of these
    I'll wait for this driver and then restart my testing. Until then - no suspend/hibernate
    EDIT: Today's nvidia 304.32 is solving my issues - I can sleep again

  • [SOLVED} Suspend to ram does not work (with sleep, s2ram, pm-utils)

    Hi.
    I would like to ask for one thing: i can't suspend to ram or resume from suspend to ram.
    I treid to check over www in order to find some help, some solutions, and how to fix that. Unfortunately, i found these:
    https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread. … 13-2/page2
    https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=913105
    https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread. … S-13-1-x64
    Bug 91921 - WD 2TB Caviar black causes hard lock on resume S2RAM
    https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91921
    In fact, when i was researching of this problem i wanted to check if my graphic card and memory are failing so a did few changes (removed memory stick and so one) but in doing this i removed almost all of my hard disk drives because i didn't want to hurt them with many reboots or resets.
    What did i find? It is strange, kernel version is not important because i checked most of them.
    I removed 2x2TB Seagate F14 series along with 4x3TB WD Green. Then i checked s2ram, it went to suspend, and resumes correctly. Everything works. I put it to sleep with s2ram -f -a 1. Works
    I attached my 4x3TB WD Green drives. I put computer to sleep with s2ram...it causes hard lock, black screen, i could do only poweroff by powerbutton. s2ram -f -a 1 causes freez. Sometimes, but not constantly, s2ram -f -a 3 -p is being able to suspend...(mostly it does a freez, hard lock computer) but sometimes it is able to put it to a sleep, but resume just freezes everyting - no blinking cursor, no blinking num lock led and so on.
    I know that you would suggest me to check logs - this is the main problem. Logs for pm-suspend works when i suspend or resume without WD drives attached. When i have them connected, i'm not able to check pm-logs because computer hangs, freezes and logs are not being stored/writed to pm-suspend.log and pm-powersave.log.
    Could somebody help? Point me to a solution? I can't check logs because there are not any when freezing occurs. I checked openSuse thread and many others and for other systems there were some kernel fixex, patches.
    They wrote that WD blacks are at fault because they don't have APM. Well, in fact my WD Green have APM with very aggresive factory settings: they park heads over 8 seconds not being used. I disabled it in firmware but disabling it is not the point and not the problem. People have the same problem even with APM and parking heads on other WD drives, i found it that some have it with WD Red's drives and even with very old 320GB WD Blue series - what is more funny, i have 640GB AAKS blue from WD and with this drive i can suspend or resume - APM on this drive is also unavilable, like in Green series because i changed it with wdidle with prebootable cd. I can't  supend or resume with 3TB WD Greens.
    BTW - suspend to disk, with pm-utils and uswsusp works ok, in 100% every time. (i had to add "shutdown method = shutdown" to /etc/suspend.conf from uswsusp package).
    On Windows machine it works. Can suspend, can resume, can hibernate.

    Hm, sometimes i found myself astonished because some things just does not work at all on one machine, while the other one has no problem at all. I was trying to find why suspend to ram won't work at all...and while i was searching i found one topic that was leading to upower dbus. Similar problem with upower i found, by coincidence, on Manjaro forum.
    dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.UPower" /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend
    this command above returns all the time:
    Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "Suspend" with signature "" on interface "org.freedesktop.UPower" doesn't exist
    I tried this:
    sudo systemctl enable acpid.service
    sudo systemctl --system daemon-reload
    sudo systemctl restart systemd-logind
    As soon as i enabled and started acpid.service...my supend to ram, from kde, works like a charm, without graphic problem, or freezing.
    There is few question: why on my desktop suspend doesen't work out of the box, when even archwiki says it should? Why on my netbook machine (Acer AOD270) that has the same package installed it works out of the box? Why on my desktop machine acpid.service was not enabled, was not started and was not running while on the notebook it does?
    Anyway...i fixed it by a big coincidence because on Fedora forum somebody has problem with suspend to ram with nvidia GTX750 and this card was new like my card (GTX660). He posted the same problem with upower that i posted in quotes and because of this i found another thing on Manjaro forum and that was it!
    BTW - this problem, i now think, is not related to my WD drives because it works with them. I think that there was another one ugly thing that broke my suspend to ram ability - bios of my motherboard (so called uefi bios with support for old one) has no option for S1-S5 stated (like the previous motherboards had) and only have ASPM...and ASPM is in my opinion broken but i will try to veryfi it one again later.

  • Qosmio F60-10L Bios is not working

    Hey there,
    I just bought a Toshiba Qosmio F60-10L.
    Now the Bios is not working anymore. Everytime I want to enter Bios menu with "F2" the computer is restarting instantly.
    Last week the mainboard has been changed.
    But now, after I set a Supervisor password, the problem comes again.
    Has anyone an Idea what to do?
    Greets marx

    Hi
    You mean you are not able to access the BIOS or you are not able to boot up the notebook?
    I think if you had some problems in the past (you said that motherboard has been changed) then I would assume that this issue might be related again to the same reason which appeared previously
    Maybe it would be advisable to ask the guys who have replaced eh motherboard for help
    Then could remove the BIOS password or Supervisor password and could update the BIOS if necessary

  • Ram slots not working after CMOS reset

    Im using MSI K9N Neo V2 mb, and it was doing fine until i reseted CMOS. Now 3 out of 4 ram slots are not recognized by BIOS nor Windows. Im sure that ram memory is ok, cause ive checked all of it by replacing it between ram slots, and they're only working in slot nr 4.
    I know that the MB is old, but everything was working fine, and suddenly went wrong after CMOS reset
    Things i did to fix:
    Updated BIOS
    Msconfig memory uncheck box
    Cleared CMOS with jumper
    Replaced CMOS BAT
    Checked if smth's wrong with cpu
    Cleared RAM slots with rubbing alcohol
    System wont even boot without memory in DIMM 4 (ram slot 4), and BIOS only recognizes memory in DIMM 4
    This is really frustrating, because there is no reason for smth to not work all of a sudden
    Any help? Tnx

    There is a known issue with Powerbooks with the lower memory slot failing, and it sounds like yours may be starting to fail. At one point there was an Apple recall for a small sliver of Powerbook systems to fix that.
    The alternatives are to run with 1GB in the upper slot, try one of the internet vendors that say they can fix that (check references), or install a used logic board. I don't believe Apple is repairing Powerbooks anymore, so if you want to buy a used logic board, you'll need to install it yourself, or perhaps an Apple Authorized Service Provider would be willing to do the work.

  • Satellite P100-487 - Upgate to 4GB RAM did not work

    Hi,
    I have a P100-487 with 1GB RAM (2x 512MB) inside.
    Max. Upgateable is 4GB.
    I bought 2x 2GB and this will not work.
    BIOS does not start with 4GB.
    There is no problem with any of the two 2GB pieces. On both banks.
    I update the BIOS to the latest version - the same problem.
    Anyone any idea?
    thx

    In the past many people were reported about such or similar issues after RAM upgrade. Problem is RAM compatibility.
    You must use 100% compatible modules and two identical modules.
    Ive checked Kingston page and I found info that you can use 2Gb memory with part number KTT667D2/2G. Toshiba offers the same memory modules with part number PA3513U-1M2G.
    Which modules do you use (manufacturer, part number)?

  • RAM upgrades not working

    Hi all,
    I've been wanting to upgrade the two 512 M DIMMS that came with my PowerBook to a pair of 1 G DIMMS.
    I purchased a pair of DIMMs from a retailer I found in MacWorld (A1A Computing) and when I tried calling them after my computer kept crashing, it took way too long for them to refer to it as "Customer Service". Ultimately, after contact and returning the pair, they sent a new pair but the wrong type.
    After several more interminable attempts to reach them, I finally did and they were reluctant (to put it nicely) to help. I told them I wanted a refund and had to go through VISA to get it. This is not an honorable dealer.
    Next, I went to OWC (nice folks) and the first pair they sent didn't work either - crashes, freezes, etc.
    In each case, when I restored the original DIMMs all was fine.
    I zapped the PRAM, NVRAM, ran the Hardware test (which came back fine) and then ran Rember, which found problems (same as it did with the ones from A1A).
    I got a new pair from OWC and immediately ran Rember, which found problems.
    I tried removing one of the DIMMs (left one in the bottom slot), reran Rember and it said fine.
    Same when I swapped out for the other DIMM.
    Then I tried putting the DIMMs, one at a time, into the top slot. Each time, Rember found errors.
    I've heard of a bottom slot issue with the 1.25 G PowerBook but never anything about the top slot.
    In every case, my system recognized the full 2 G RAM but there are crashes and freezes until I restore the original DIMMs.
    Both the originals and the ones from OWC are made by Hynix.
    I've saved Rember logs for the new DIMMs in all the tests I described above.
    Before returning them to OWC (and resigning myself to having only the original 1 G RAM in my machine), does anyone have any suggestions? Has anyone seen the top slot issue I've described?
    (Funny that there is no problem at all with the original RAM.)
    Thanks in advance for any light anyone can shed on this one.
    Best regards,
    Barry

    While just about all Powerbooks are sensitive to the quality of RAM used, the earlier Powerbooks seem to be a little more sensitive than others. While some RAM may meet the printed specs, it may not work with Apple's architecture. The issue is memory bus slewing, where power to the memory bus is modulated to reduce heat and conserve battery power.
    When it comes to memory for a finicky Powerbook, I'd recommend Crucial, as they guarantee their memory will work when selected from their memory selector at http://www.crucial.com . You can usually also find a 5% to 10% off coupon on the internet (search for 'crucial coupon'). I've used Crucial (also makes Micron memory) for years with no issues.
    Samsung and Kingston (not the Kingston valueram line, though) also typically work well. I've also used these brands in later Powerbooks with no issues.
    Hynix memory usually works pretty well in Powerbooks, however, I'm sure they produce a number of different RAMs, like the other memory producers. For example, Kingstons regular memory works well in our Powerbooks, however, their valueram line doesn't work reliably.

  • RAM slot not working

    Hey everyone,
    I recently bought some RAM for my Mac Book Pro. It came with 1gb, and I bought two 1gb sticks. I put in both sticks of new RAM and my computer would come on but the screen would remain blank. After doing some tests, I found that the lower RAM tray was not working with the old or new RAM stick, and that the upper tray worked with the new and old one. Has this happened to anyone, or anyone have any suggestions on fixes? I tried canned air and it hasn't helped. Currently, I am using the new RAM stick in the upper tray, but would obviously like to take advantage of the lower tray as well.
    Thanks!

    Sounds like bad news, I'm afraid, Davide. It is likely that the slot itself is damaged. I have seen situations where RAM "reappeared" in the past after an SMC or PRAM reset, but I doubt this is your problem here. Still worth trying, I guess.
    Run the Apple Hardware test (on one of the DVDs that originally came with your computer) too, but I suspect it will either need a motherboard repair or replacement.

  • RAM Slot Not Working for Macbook 2009 - Looking for Alternatives

    Tested RAM slots and found that the second slot (slot closest to interior of computer) is not working properly. Switched both 4gb cards in back slot and the computer would not start up, only would beep....definitely not faulty RAM cards because they both work in the first slot.
    I've researched this on forums briefly, the consensus seems to be logic board replacement.
    I really don't want to invest more money into this older computer - Macbook Pro mid-2009.
    Are there any other troubleshooting options here? I don't think it's the OS and do not have any Time Machine data set up before Mac X nor do I have an partitions set up on an external.
    The computer is not terribly slow but when using Final Cut Pro X it tends to lag. All of the specs for my computer fall in the recommendations for using with FC10
    Could I get an 8gb RAM card for slot 1?
    Any advice would be much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Does not look like it supports 16 GBs of RAM meaning only 4 GBs/slot.

  • 16 GB ram upgrade not working

    I have an iMac 3.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (late 2009 model)  I purchased 4 x 4GB 1333 ram chips to upgrade to 16GB.  All four chips simultaneously do not work.  The screen stays black and it beeps endlessly with a pause every 6 seconds.  However, if I put any two of the four chips in (= 8GB) the computer boots fine.  If I use any two of the four plus the two 2GB original chips (=12GB)  computer boots fine.  I have tried every combination with the help of the “support line” of the company I bought them from. 
    The original chip speed was 1067 and the new are 1333.  I was told the computer could run both and it does, up to 8GB not including the original ram. When I use the orginal ram to bring it up to 12GB it drops the speed to 1067 from the 1333.
    Would appreciate your help!!!
    Thanks, Tim

    There have been many discussions on this subject; you might want to read these (lengthy!!):
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2567907
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2588800
    The short version is: If going with OEM RAM, 16 GB appears fine. When going with third party RAM and 16 GB - problems; however, third party RAM and a total of 12 GB work. That's what I got on mine.
    However, you added another wrinkle to the whole thing: I would always stay with the exact specs that Apple publishes for a particular model; I wouldn't care what I'm told by someone else. And, yes, it'll drop the speed - that's because it wasn't made to address the extra speed.
    May I ask what brand and where you bought yours? Hopefully it was somewhere with a good warranty/return policy. I would contac them and explain the issues and send back all of it for a refund; then purchase 2 x 4 GB with the right specs from someone like OWC (macsales.com).

  • 3GB RAM upgrade not working

    Hi,
    I have a 20" iMac that has 1.5GB (1x1GB 1x512MB, mixed brands) that I need to upgrade to the 3GB max. I bought a 2GB PC2 5300 SODIMM from NewEgg to use with the 1GB one I had already, but it won't work. I've tried switching them around etc with no luck. The 2GB and the 1GB work fine by themselves, but whenever I combine the 2GB with anything, I just get a black screen, no startup tone and a solid white light. I can still return the newegg DIMM so if I have to I will.
    Thanks

    Apple recommends that the larger of the two RAM modules be placed in the slot closest to the display.
    Intel-based Mac Power On Self Test RAM error codes
    If the computer detects no SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory, also referred to as RAM) or the RAM installed does not meet the appropriate specifications, the screen will remain black but the power LED on the front of the computer will blink once per second to signal the error. This error condition may be due to physically damaged RAM, installing the incorrect type of RAM, or not having RAM installed.

    Hey,
    I've just got Qosmio x770-105 and while setting up Skype the camera just stayed black and never showed any image. While using the Toshiba Web Camera Application it is working on Skype it just has stays black.
    Do you have any suggestions on how to fix that ?
    Thanks Than

    Well, you could try to remove the Toshiba Webcam Application from the system and could try to use just the Skype tool but this is just a suggestion not quite sure what cause this issue
    It looks really like broken Skype utility have googled around and it looks like more Skype users have the same problem using different computers and different webcamsunfortunately did not find a exact solution proposal

  • Ram Preview not working correctly

    On one machine here, when the artist goes to do a ram preview, they only get grey frames in the comp window. Either that or they get a freeze of the first frame in the render region, but no motion.
    I have tried deleting prefs, zapping Pram, deleting the cache, purging memory. turning open GL on and off, all to no avail.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks in advance
    Sam DeWitt

    I'm not sure if RAM issues really show up during normal work. In most cases the operating system will constantly rearrange the memory allocation, so it may never touch upon that one damaged memory block. You wouldn't even know it, if it caused a crash once a week, because it could be anything. I'll admit that it's a far shot, but nonetheless one should not rule out what seems to be impossible at first sight. the only other thing I can think of would be a tool that suppresses screen refresh, which could be some widget ort system extension...

  • Re: Qosmio F50-12J - FN key not working with new Value Added Package

    Hi,
    I have Toshiba Qosmio F50-12J and have trouble with Value Added Package v 1.2.28.
    I can't get the flash cards to work. When I press FN key nothing happens. BTW, I installed VAP on freshly installed Windows 7 64 bit. With the previuos version of VAP that I tried on Windows 7, KeNotify.exe was crashing. Now there is no apparent crash, but nothing happens.
    Also, there is a problem with the Button Support utility (touch sensitive controls). Whenever I reboot my system, all the white illumiation LEDs on my laptop are lit although I turned them off.
    So, could someone confirm that they have a working Value Added Package v 1.2.28 on Windows 7 64bit ?

    Hi buddy,
    Your posting is a little bit confusing and in my opinion you make something wrong. My Qosmio F50 runs pretty good on Windows 7 and I dont have any problems with the FN keys, illumination buttons or other function.
    First of all make sure that all drivers are installed!!! I mean chipset, graphic, sound, etc. Check the device manager and if you can find unknown devices or yellow exclamation marks download the missing drivers on the Toshiba page.
    The Button Support Utility has nothing to do with Flash Cards support utility. So before you make something wrong, please uninstall Toshiba Value Added Package and Flash Card Supports Utility. Restart the notebook after uninstallation and clean the registry using CCleaner (http://www.ccleaner.com/). If you have clean the registry, restart the notebook again.
    Now you should install newest Toshiba Value Added Package. Restart again.
    Install Flash Cards Support Utility for Vista. Restart again.
    Now you should check if it works or not.
    Sorry but thats all what I can say. I dont have any problems on my Qosmio F50 and Windows 7.
