Ram issues 4022 Megabytes Usable Installed Memory with 8 gigs installed

I have a TOSHIBA Satellite P500 PSPGSU-11W00W with 8 gigs of ram installed by Toshiba. My over 4 gigs are showing as hardware reserved. I suspect there is a problem as that seems like too much to be reserved.
Im running win 7 home 64 bit
I tried swapping the two ram cards with no effect
Any ideas?

Anybody have a possible answer for me?

Check installed memory with physical memory

I need to check whether Physical memory is same as installed memory of multiple servers.
By using win32_computerSystem command, i can get the physical memory, but how do i get the installed memory using powershell?

I've tested the functions myself and modified your functions like this so it works
function CheckPhysicalRam($Server)
$PhysicalRAM = (Get-WMIObject -class Win32_PhysicalMemory -ComputerName $Server |Measure-Object -Property capacity -Sum | % {[Math]::Round(($_.sum / 1GB),2)})
return $PhysicalRAM
function CheckInstalledRam($Server) {
$InstalledRAM = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_ComputerSystem -ComputerName $Server
$InstalledRAM = [Math]::Round(($InstalledRAM.TotalPhysicalMemory/ 1GB))
return $InstalledRam
function CheckRam($Server) {
$InstalledRAM = CheckInstalledRam($Server)
$PhysicalRAM = CheckPhysicalRam($Server)
if ($PhysicalRAM -eq $InstalledRAM)
return "pass"
Else
return "fail"
Can you see if this is the thing you want ?
Tested it with my test win7 laptop and other win7 devices in my domain.
for my win7 32bit with 8GB physical and 3.41 available it says fail
for other win7 64bit devices with 8GB physical and 7.xx availble it passes.
You can also do it in one function, like this:
function CheckRam($Server) {
$PhysicalRAM = (Get-WMIObject -class Win32_PhysicalMemory -ComputerName $Server |Measure-Object -Property capacity -Sum | % {[Math]::Round(($_.sum / 1GB),2)})
$InstalledRAM = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_ComputerSystem -ComputerName $Server
$InstalledRAM = [Math]::Round(($InstalledRAM.TotalPhysicalMemory/ 1GB))
if ($PhysicalRAM -eq $InstalledRAM)
return "pass"
Else
return "fail"

Installing Bootcamp with Parallels installed

Hey guys.
I need to install Bootcamp to run Rhinoceros and Grasshopper with full graphics support. It isn't a good idea to run these programs only on parallels. However, I am told that I need to install Bootcamp BEFORE parallels if I want them to share the same Windows copy. I already have parallels installed, along with Revit and the full Microsoft Office suite. I don't want to delete all of my installed programs to install windows onto Bootcamp. Is there anyway to salvage this without having to dig up old codes and trying to get all my software back?
My end-goal is to be able to work in Bootcamp for serious CAD and drafting software, whilst still maintaining the capability of opening these same files for viewing and light edting in Parallels while running Mac. I would be using Bootcamp ONLY for Rhinoceros Grasshopper and Revit. Excel PPT word and other microsoft applications would be run exclusively through parallels.
Thank you for your views and responses
- Thomas

without knowing anything about parallels and feeling that the parallels forum would likely be a safer place to confirm your questions then
I would think that they mean that you just have to have installed bootcamp before creating the virtual machine in parallels which is to access the windows partition not wait with installing the virtual machine software(parallels) itself
but as stated parallels is about the only virtual machine software I have no experience with at all

Is anyone else having a RAM issue? Anyone know if i can re-install mountain lion?

After istalling Mountain Lion, i noticed things take a bit longer to carry out for example i noticed a lot more lag (not a whole lot) but I never had this probelm with Lion when powering up and having the toolbar and dock show up, which takes around a minute or two to appear. I also have 2 doc's open, my mail, and 1 safari window and 3 tabs, and with this, the amount of inactive memory keeps on growing. When i first updated, i opened safari 6 (just one page with no tabs) and noticed how my inactive memory jumped from a few mb to around 4gb and as long as i keep using any application, i keep having to use FreeMemory to free things up. At this point it is getting frustrating and a resart didn't help. My amount of inacitve memory just stays around 1gb which never happened before with Lion, which would keep freed memory free and the longer i carry out normal task, the less memory i have available to the point where i get down to just a few mb if i have tabs that have heavy flash sites on them. By the way i have a fall 2011 macbook pro, 2.2ghz i7 with 8gb of ram

ML manages memory very differently to earlier OS versions. I thought it was sluggish at first but today it seems faster than Lion. While most memory on my 3GB iMac is used the key statistic is pageouts of which I have had only 1.8 MB after a full days work (mail, web rowsing, gimp, merlin project management software, and pages all being used). If you have a large page out figure it might be worth investing in more ram, otherwise don't worry about it. A lot of free memory looks great, but if it isn't being used it might as well be still on the shelf at the store where you bought it. Emptying out the inactive memory would only be counter productive as that information would have to be reloaded from your HD if you restart the application it belongs to.

Can we install OBIA with out Installing ODI ?

Hi All,
I am planning in installing OBIA 11.1.1.7 on the server. Can we install OBIA without installing ODIA

HI,
You have to install the ODI for 11.1.1.7 I believe Informatica is not supported in PS1
there is a possibility that PS2 can have it .
But what is your particular requirement here . Just for testing....?

[SOLVED][GRUB]Install problem with the new method

Hi,
it is not my first install of Arch Linux but I have a problem with this new kind of installation method, especially with GRUB.
Here is my hard drives configuration :
/dev/sda1 -> SSD 120 GB ntfs (windows)
/dev/sdb1 -> HD 1 TB ext4 (data)
/dev/sdc :
/dev/sdc1 -> ext2 /boot
/dev/sdc2 -> swap
/dev/sdc3 -> ext4 /
/dev/sdc5 -> ext4 /home
During the installation, I installed grub (with grub-install) in /dev/sdc. I assumed it was the correct drive to install it but apparently not, Windows starts automatically and I don't have the grub menu.
Should I install my system again or is there a way to boot on the livecd and install it ?
Should I :
1) mount /dev/sdc3 in /mnt then /dev/sdc1 in /mnt/boot and finally /dev/sdc5 in /mnt/home
2) pacstrap /mnt grub-bios
3) arch-chroot
4) grub-install
Thank you.

If you set whatever drive "/dev/sdc" is (brand and model) to boot first in the BIOS, all you need to do is install a bootloader on Arch. You don't even need a separate boot partition. It will use the /boot folder on root partition. Then install os-prober (if you don't already have this installed) and re-generate the .cfg.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be … bootloader
The problem is that I cannot select another hard drive. The only one available for the boot order is the Samsung 830 series (/dev/sda with Windows).
The other options are the CD drive and removable disk.
I checked that this morning, maybe I was too tired. I will check again this evening.
But if I am right and I cannot select my intel SSD (containing my arch setup) for the boot order, would the solution I described work ? I don't see why not but my knowledge are basic in Linux.
Thank you again for your help.

What's all the memory business about? So far as I know, neither of us have "unstable memory."

Nothing wrong with that. According to the spec, you should have 1 GB of memory.

I have a MacBook 7,1 which i recently installed a PNY 250 SSD and added some RAM. The laptop was running awesome with OSX 10.6.8, lightning fast.
Then I installed Yosemite. There was a bit of hang during the install, but Yosemite came up no issue when I rebooted. Here is the problem:
Every other time I boot the MacBook it hangs at a grey screen with the prohibitory sign. Verbose reveals a "still waiting for root device" error. Now if I reboot from that hang, it boots fine, but then will hang again the next time. It keeps alternating like this. Any ideas??
I am not running any third party trim software, so that's not the issue.

S20 - Installed memory 12.0 GB (7.99 GB usable)

Hi all,
I've just installed 12 GB of memory, but Windows 7 reports only 7.99 as being usable. Things I've tried so far:
Checked the BIOS for an 'extended memory' option
Checked msconfig to ensure there is no limit on memory specified.
Googling around for a solution various posts have suggested a BIOS update or changing the RAM timings. The RAM is all the same kind - 2GB DDR3 PC 10600 ECC.
Any suggestions would be welcome!
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

We've seen some issues like this with customers installing their own memory. You really need to pay careful attention to ensure each DIMM seats correctly. If it feels funky when installing the DIMM, pull it and reseat it to be sure. Also make sure each latch is fully engaged and they are all aligned when you're done.
Also, for best performance, make sure you're using the correct "fill pattern". You should populate DIMMs in order (slot 1, then slot 2, then slot 3, etc.), but be mindful to note that the DIMMs aren't ordered sequentially on the board. If you follow the labeling on the board and on the cover label, you should be fine. Let me know if you have any questions.

RAM ISSUES A215-S7407 - PSAFGU-01V002 SUSPEND MODE ERROR WITH 4GB RAM

Hi, im having some troubles with my laptop.
Because it comes only winth 1GB RAM (512MB x 2) i decided to give it an upgrade to 4GB (Max Capcity) according to specifications details on the support site. So i bought two (2) DIMM Modules KINGSTON 2GB 667MHZ, exact model # KVR667D2S5/2G Everything was working fine until i close the lid and it suspend.
Normally, when i open the lid, it will wake up, and everything will work fine, BUT NOW when it wakes up i have distorted sound and horizontal lines on screen, and sometimes i get a BSOD (BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH) and it restart itself.
TEST THAT I MADE:
ONLY 1 DIMM of 2GB - IT SUSPEND AND WAKES UP NORMALLY (I tested both Dimms 2GB separately)
1 DIMM 2GB / 1 DIMM 1GB (TOTAL 3GB) - IT SUSPEND AND WAKES UP NORMALLY
2 DIMMs 2GB (TOTAL 4GB) - IT SUSPEND AND WAKES UP WITH DISTORTED SOUND AND HORIZONTAL LINES ON DISPLAY.
It seems like the problem appears only with Max. Capacity (4GB) RAM and only when it suspend CLOSE THE LID (POWER LED CHANGE COLOR BLUE TO ORANGE AND FADES AND COMES).
With Hibernation, it works fine, the problem is when it suspend.
It looks that the problem is on the motherboard, maybe a NEW BIOS RELEASE that fix the situation.
I appreciate if somebody can speak to TOSHIBA SUPPORT DEVELOPER and ask them for an BIOS Update.
i know that im not the only one with this problem, there is another person that wrote a post "RAM ISSUES" and refers to the same situation, but as i guess, it wasn't solved at all.

Make sure you install the memory when the light is not flashing, i.e. completly off not sleeping.
What if you try adjusting - MSCONFIG/Advanced Options/Maximum Memory

Ram issue with X58M board

Hello
I wonder if some one could help me one...... 2-3 years ago i bought a new pc system..... but i still have ram issue!
my PC contains: MSI x58m bios version 3.8 , i7 950 3.07Ghz, Crucial Ram 1333 6GB (1gb x 6) DDR3 240pin , video card ati Club 3d HD4890, Win 7pro SP1 64bit
from day 1 i had problem - unexpected restarts...... my pc store exchanged mother board twice, gpu 2 times and 1 time ram..... nothing helped i only lost 2 weeks! But pc started working fine only after in bios we changed the ram MHz from 1333 to 800mhz! after that system was stable no restarts
could some one plz tell me what is the problem and how to avoid it?
some info from my ram: CT12864BA1339.M8SFD , BL1119M.3V, 200933 SU

# of Memory Channels - 3
but for some reasons i cant use 1066
that is simple to explain 1066 would work with 3 sticks of ram installed but you have 6 so the max is 800mhz as you have 2x3 channel memory installed and the cpu cant handle that much at full speed!
its all down to the CPU's (Central Processing Unit's) memory controler Quote from: anat_usa on 10-July-12, 18:09:15

seems like should be ok.....
not the point wattage ratings are meaningless its all down to how that is sub-devided on its rails as ampages i have a 1000W psu here that can't boot a single 24A graphics card as it has 4 x 20A +12v rails and is only usefull as a paper weight!
what are the ampages of its +12V rail or rails? there the important data points to pay attention to! WATTAGE OF A PSU REALLY MEANS NOTTHING ITS ALL ABOUT AMPAGE IT CAN DELIVER ON THE RAILS!!!!!! minimum Wattage psu calculations are done based on a single high ampage +12v rail and if yours has 2-3 +12v rails its no better then a 300W psu at best!
that HD 4890 you have requires this:
18A idle power draw = 216W
28A under load = 336W
that is very power hungery at idle probaly neer the max your psu can put out on a +12v rail!

RAM Issues: 4GB installed, 1GB showing After blinking light

Hey Folks,
After doing some research online I found that my recent issue, which has come up in the past, was probably a RAM seating issue. The issue where the Fan begins running loudly at hyper speed. I forced a shut down, restarted up and saw no issue. Shortly there after the issue returned. I forced a shut down once more, but this time was met with a blinking power light.
I remembered from past experience that it was a sign of RAM issues so I unplugged, unseated and reseated all four of the RAM on my cards. Initial start up was met with same response. In fact it wasn't until the 6th or 7th seating and reseating, and RAM position switch that I got the computer to start back up. (The initial successful start up was with one card and what should have been 2GB.) I checked the About this Mac.. and saw Memory listed as 1GB 667 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM. The 1GB threw me off because at that moment there should have been 2.
Shortly there after I backed some things up and tried reseating the other card with the other 2 gigs in it. This time I was able to start up however the System still shows the Memory as 1GB 667 MHz...
I did notice a single red light on one of the cards and am curious if this is trying to tell me anything, or if this is an indication of a poor installation. Also looking for any advice on why the computer is not seeing all 4 gigs, and if some of them may be out of service.
Any advice would be much appreciated, and please pardon my lingo because I'm not sure all my wording is correct.
Thanks

Failed RAM.
Stop beating yourself up over insertion technique. These things get mighty hot and they FAIL.
If they have a reseller's sticker on them, like Otherworld computing or 1-800-Memory or such, call them and ask for lifetime warranty replacements. Otherwise, think hard about how much RAM you really need and go buy some.

Ram issues with FCPX

I am experiencing an issue where the longer I work in FCPX my RAM is consumed until it shows as a hair-thin slice inside of Activity Monitor, and the performance reflects what I'm seeing in Activity Monitor. If I close FCPX all my RAM returns and I can re-open FCPX and continue working quickly until I am out of RAM again. Does anyone else see this? Is this a "memory leak"?
I haven't tested this issue on my system at home, but it's happening on my older #GHz Dual Quad eight core.

Luis, I'm not sure how much RAM your MBP can accept (and actually use) - OWC often suggests that many laptops can accept more than Apple says, however consider this: The issue I am seeing simply means that if you have more RAM, it just means you will be able to go longer before all of your RAM is tied up, "consumed", than somebody with less RAM. The issue remains that the programm is not releasing RAM and the longer you edit, the more RAM is off-line until you close FCPX and re-open it, and then all of your RAM will be released and available again.
I think it is wise to have as much RAM as your software and hardware can use, but having more than that is really not going to benefit your workflow, and it's expensive to have more than you need. But, again, this doesn't change the issue I am seeing.
The only other thing I'd like to say is that so far I've used FCP since it came out - after Apple bought it from Macromedia. I love the application and have finished countless projects in it. I think FCPX is great in that I've never seen all eight cores tapped as heavily as FCPX can being a 64 bit app. There are some opportunities to improve it of course, but it's fast and fast seems to be the biggest aspect of a lot of work I do for VailResorts.
So I'm not against X but I just need to know what is going on with my RAM because after editing for an hour, (I edit all day long) I am not only out of RAM but I begin to get a spinning beachball more often and likely it's due to the missing RAM. If I forget to reboot FCPX, I will be reminded when I go to "Share" (export) my storyline, (sequence) to H.264 - it takes a long time to begin and it's likely due to the missing RAM. So for me this is a big issue.

Usable RAM Issue (2.17GB out of 4GB)

Hello all,
I'm using a 15' early 2011 macbook pro (nothing modified; default specs)
its running mac os X mountain lion and windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit on Boot camp
i usually have 4GB RAM, but when i check my system specs in windows, it shows "installed memory (RAM): 4GB (2.17GB Usable)".
and it is actually only using 2 GB, because when i open task manager, it shows memory usage; when its about 1.3GB its halfway full (filling bar)
why does this happen? Does the problem depend on my OS or is it just the hardware?
Thanks in advance

No.
Your computer is 64 bit
64 bit Windows runs 32 bit programs.
New programs are written for 64 bit systems.
your computer has more ram than 32 bit Windows can address.
Why did you install 32 bit Windows?
