Random memory drops after shut down.

Hey guys, long time reader, first time poster here. Usually I can just google my way out of a problem, but this is an interesting one.
My sig build is my first build in about 15 years. Being that as it may everything went rather smooth. I'm working on learning how to OC, which is a blast (not related to my question, but if anyone knows of a good OC guide with BIOS Click II and AMD that would be awesome).
Anyway, so here's the issue. For the last few mornings when I turn the PC on after being off all night, I get the "CPU or MEMORY changed" screen. Where I usually press F1 to enter setup, and upon entering BIOS I find that my OC is down to a stock 4.0 and my memory is only showing 24GBs. When I load windows, I'm told only 24GBs of RAM is installed, with only 16 usable.
I think may have something to do with my memory timings, but in BIOS Click II I can't seem to figure out the proper place to select how to change them. This morning I enabled AMD Memory Profile in BIOS, which actually read the proper timings, as well as the OC 1833 *EDIT 2052. I did a couple shut downs to see if it would stick, and so far the 4.4 OC is staying strong, and no memory dropouts.
I'm wondering what the pros think is going on here, and if enabling the memory profile may have remedied the situation. I would rather know the manual way to do it, but I don't want to do too much too fast until I have a clearer understanding of this new click bios. It'd be nice if the instruction manual that came with the mobo was actually updated with it, lol.
Thanks guys!

wow that poor CPU your highly taxing its IMC (integrated Memory Controller) in it so no wonder your having problems with it! (AMD's CPU's are about 3-5 years behind what Intel does and the IMC's on them are terrible as a result)
1866MHz is usually the max it can sustain stability if the IMC is good on the chip with 1-2 DIMMS populated and you have all 4 populated so at best 1600MHz stable...
Also Sounds like you have some damaged/ Faulty modules among your ram so its isolating them to prevent BSOD's as 24 visible and 16GB usable points at that that at least 1-2 of them are bad (may also be your using 2 different kits even if there the same make/ model can cause some nasty problems so we usually suggest you get a 4 stick kit not 2 kits as that can be extremely problematic)...
so be more specific what your using are those Memory modules from 2 separate kits?

Mac mini restarts on its own after shut-down.

The Mac mini will restart by itself about 10 minutes after shut down. I turned off all the restart options in energy saver. Funning 10.4.8 with the latest firmware instalation.
Any suggestions how to stop this?

I have had this problem for a looooong time and I think I finally resolved it. Last weekend I was trying a demo of MacPilot 3 and found Elgato's EyeTV had two items in the Power > Events list. Apparently when you set EyeTV to start up the computer for it's schedule it restarts the computer randomly rather in a reasonable amount of time before the recording begins. Since there were two files, I think 1 was left over from previous EyeTV version and was starting up the computer even though I told EyeTV not to start the computer at a later date. Deleting both files seems to be the solution.

Why does bookmarks in menu bar disappear after shutting down and turning mac on?

When I am in "COLLECTIONS AND BOOKMARKS" view, I changed the name of the folder that is listed under "bookmarks" (that is designed to be a drop-down menu on the Bookmark Bar), I changed the name to "TV 1" from "TV Shows". I also added another folder under the Bookmarks called "TV 2" and I dragged and dropped two bookmarks from the "Bookmarks Menu" listing to the "TV 2" folder, and yet Safari would not update in real-time the Bookmark Bar to recognize that I created a "TV 2" folder/drop-down menu, nor did it update the contents of "TV Shows" to become "TV 1".
The only way I was able to update the drop-down menu bookmark folders on the Bookmark Bar was to drag-and-drop them one at a time from the "COLLECTIONS and BOOKMARKS" view.
Is it just me or is this a ******** way of updating bookmarks?
I think it is perfectly fine as being ONE WAY of updating bookmarks, but there really should be "real-time" updating of bookmarks. That is to say, I should be able to choose "bookmark this page" and add it to the folder named "TV Shows" and automatically see Safari update it without having to make two steps: 1) choosing the bookmark, and 2) going into the list of bookmarks to manually drag and drop the bookmark into the Bookmark Bar that contains the folder/drop-down menu.

Fan going crazy after shut down

It happened twice in the past two weeks. After shut down, a fan (in the back I believe) spin very very fast, as loud as a vacuum cleaner. The only way to stop it was to unplug my mac pro. It was so strange. I have had issues with fan noise, and the finder crashing. Anyone with an idea: I'm thinking of bringing the mac to the shop.

No I do not think so, I have the standard configuration: 2x2.8 Ghz with an ATI Radeon 2600.
Extra are 2x1GB memory from OWC, and 2 SATA Drives.
I've tried to reset the SMC many times, without noticing much of a difference: I've been monitoring the temperature at the power supply location and the memory bays: PS is around 110, memory around 105-120, depending on the Bay. I am running smcFan Control. I"m running the fans 1/4 faster than the MacPro default (according to smcFan Control preferences.)
Mea culpa, there's no AC in the room where I work, the Ambient temp has been 70-85.
Am I overtly concerned? I don't really have the time to bring the Mac to the shop.

Laptop battery drains after shut down

Hi, I have bought hp pavilion 15-no28se six months back,
Its working good, but one issue is contantly irritating me, it is due to its battery drainage after shut down overnight.It almost drains 8-10 percent withing 12 hours. Whereas, I properly shut down it and caliberated as well, but of no use. Although, battery status is OK, and I think battery is fine becasue once I took out battery from laptop for 24 hours, then inserted again and checked it and not a single percent dropped down.
I am so tense that why it is draining when battery works well and properly shut down?Please guide me on this.I am waiting..

Hello again rocket_sc,
I hope you had a great weekend!
To test, calibrate, and re-synchronize your battery you will need to first follow the steps in this document on Testing and Calibrating the Battery (Windows 8). Once this is completed, and the battery continues to drain, then you can move to re-install the ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery.
I understand that this process can be a little overwhelming, but not to worry! I would gladly expand on the steps provided above!
To answer your first question: you are not uninstalling the software as you would from Programs and Features (like uninstalling software downloaded from a CD). Instead, you are removing small driver components removable from the Device Manager.
To get the Device Manager, please follow the steps below:
Step 1. Go to Device Manager:
a. Press the  and type "Device Manager"
b. Click the Device Manager tab on the top right-hand side.
c. The Device Manager should be open.
Step 2. Select Batteries:
a. Click the right-facing triangle to the left hand side of "batteries"
Step 3. Right click the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" that is listed there
a. If you see any duplicates of the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery", please select them both.
Step 4. Click Uninstall
a. You might also see an option that says "disable." Please disregard this option, and click on Uninstall.
Step 5. At the prompt put a check in the box to remove the current driver
Step 6. Restart the computer
Step 7: Remove the battery for one minute and then put it back in
When the computer comes back up it should automatically find and install the driver.
Step 8. Go to Device Manager
a. Press the  and type "Device Manager"
b. Click the Device Manager tab on the top right-hand side.
c. The Device Manager should be open.
Step 9. Select Batteries
a. Click the right-facing triangle to the left hand side of "batteries"
Step 10. Right click the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" that is listed there (there should only be one).
Step 11. Click "Update Driver Software"
Do the same thing with Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Embedded Controller.
a. If you do not see this parcel of software in the Device Manager, please skip this step. If you do, the same steps would include:
* Right-clicking this device driver in the Device Manager
* Click on "uninstall"
* Put a check in the box next to "remove the current driver" and pressing "ok"
* Restarting the computer
* Remove the battery for one minute, then re-insert it
* Return to the Device Manager
* Right-clicking the Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Embedded Controller
* Click "update driver software"
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

Is it possible to continue downloading OS X Lion after shutting down the computer?

I am downloading the OS X Lion app on my MacBook Pro and is only at 180mb after an hour. I am downloading this app for free because I recently purchased a MacBook Pro. Is there a way I can continue the download even after shutting down the computer? Will I be charged the next time I try to re-download the app--as in, will the code for downloading the app for free expire?
Thank you SO much!

I downloaded OS X Lion over the period of a day or so and what you have to do is pause the download (for a snow leopard user that should be in your dock) and then shut down your machine. When you boot it back up, you should be able to resume the download by clicking the OS X Lion logo and typing in your Apple ID info and the download should resume at the same spot where it was when you left it.

Losing Desktop Items/Documents after shutting down and restarting

Twice, over the last couple of months after shutting down and restarting my macbook, everything on my desktop gets deleted, and it seems all the settings go back to their original form?
Anyone have this problem?
Message was edited by: jram1111

Hi, I had this problem and it was due to setting file vault in the security settings. I removed having that set and then I had to go into system settings, Account and under Login Items, add back items such as mail and things that required passwords that were not coming up on my dock after each time I shut down.
I hope this is helpful! Better late than never - if you have fixed yours, maybe this will help someone else.

In 2 node RAC. After shutting down database not able to connect.

I have 2 node Oracle 10g RAC (RAC-1 and RAC-2) on Windows 2003 Server.
After shutting down instance on RAC-2
I am not able to connect to database from any node.
I did this on RAC-2 :
SQL>shutdown immediate;
Database went down smoothly.
SQL>conn sys/oracle@rac as sysdba
ERROR:
ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currnetly know of services requested in connect descriptor.
My first node is running fine but I am not able to connect to database from first node or from client.
Any suggestion???
Regards:
Sushil

One question I want to ask, what should be the Listener Services startup mode in RAC? MANUAL or AUTOMATIC???Ideally, if you are instances and other oracle resources are set to autostart then there is no reason for you to set the listener to MANUAL. You may like to change it to AUTOMATIC so that on reboot it comes up without manual intervention.

Simple floating clock does not appear after shut down

Hi,
On my iMac oxs 10.9.4. my simple floating clock does not appear after shut down.
Can anybody tell me how to overcome this?
Cheers

And now I am at the stage it wont automatically start despite it being ticked in the Log In Items.
As Imp68 has asked, do you mean the "Hide" Checkbox is selected?
If you have checked the box, that says, to start the application, however, hide it so it is not visible when you start.
If you run Applications -> Utilities -> Activity Monitor, can you find Simple Floating Clock as a running app? (Activity Monitor has a Search box to make this easier).
Is Simple Floating Clock on your Menu bar?
Is Simple Floating Clock set to float?

Hi @devitojj
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I would like to take a moment and thank you for using the forum, it is a great place to find answers. For you to have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand that when you power off your notebook it automatically restarts in 4 seconds.
You have tried several steps to try and resolve this but there is no change.
As it repeated the behavior with the hard drive removed, you know it is not an issue with Windows.
You have tried updating the bios and returning it to bios defaults but no change.
Here is a link from answers.microsoft.com that helped other people with this issue.
Windows 7 computer restarts automatically after shutdown
This does suggest you edit your registry which does have the potential to cause issues, so be very careful. I would also suggest backing up your registry before you attempt it, just in case.
Back up the registry from Windows.microsoft.com
If that has not helped, I would try removing the Cmos or RTC battery for 30 seconds and then replacing it.
Please let me know if this helped.

My iMac screen keeps showing pixels of previously opened documents and Safari tabs and hour or two after closing them. The shadow of those opened documents are still there hours later after shutting down and restarting my computer. What is happening

My iMac screen keeps showing pixels of previously opened documents and Safari tabs and hour or two after closing them.
Even when I swipe to the dashboard the outlines are still there when I know they should not be.
The shadow of those opened documents are still there hours later after shutting down and restarting my computer.
What is happening and what shall I do? Thanks in advance.

Not much to go on in your product info, but maybe this will help: iMac (27-inch): AMD Radeon 6970M Video Card Replacement Program. If not, then it's time to visit an Apple repair station.

There are many ways to do a reset on an iPhone so which one have you been trying that has got you to where you are now?

Satellite E45t won't start for few hours after shut down

I have a brand new Satellite E45t-4100. After shutting down, I am not able to start the laptop for few hours. Upon pressing the power button, say after 15 minutes, power button LED lights up but nothing is displayed on the screen. I have disabled the sleep mode from power settings as I was facing the similar situation when trying to wake up the laptop from sleep. Although, when restart is chosen, laptop restarts without any trouble.
Please help.

Hello,
I have the exact same problem as the OP with an E45t-a4300. Purchased almost a year ago (Oct 30, 2013) from Best Buy. Worked perfectly for about 2 months after purchase and then this problem arose. Started when I'd put the computer to sleep, it wouldn't wake up. The computer would just shut off when I'd go to wake it up. When I'd hit the power button to restart, the fan would briefly spin, power indicator/wifi light turns on, then it shuts down again. I would repeat this cycle- sometimes only a few times, sometimes for almost an hour- before the Toshiba splash screen appeared with the "computer wasn't shut down properly" and the computer would restart and run the standard diagonostics. However, at first on a cold start or start from hibernation it would start fine but after awhile that stopped, too, and any starting attempt was met by the same non-start/shut down cycle.
This went on for about 3 months with me basically rarely shutting down the machine. I searched forums at the time and found nothing regarding this problem. Then one day in mid-March, the start-up problem miraculously disappeard- it fired right up. It started perfectly fine and worked with no problems whatsoever for 6 months, including waking from sleep and hibernation, until about 2 weeks ago. Now the same problem is back- it won't turn on with multiple start attempts and shuts down when you try to wake from sleep or hibernation- showing the "computer wasn't shut down properly" on the splash screen and going through the test process when if finally does start. Also, I'm now unable to enter the BIOS page on start up when pressing F2. I also have disabled rapid start, etc after the problem began.
I've owned quite a few laptops over the years (including Toshiba) and work with computer based systems for a living. I REALLY love this laptop a lot (yes, even with 8.1) but this problem is just disheartening. I truly appreciate any help.
Thanks!!
