Hi
There are two possibilities: either the RAM modules are faulty/damage/not compatible or one of the memory slots is damaged.
I think you should test every RAM module in each slot to discover the issue

Satellite L35 - Crashes with 2gb ram installed.

A month back I posted with [problems about upgrading ram|http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=33029]. Eldorado was great with helping me, I appreciate that.
I couldn't find another 1gb that was exactly the same as the 1gb that had been installed a couple months back. So I just got 2 new one's. I installed one about 3 weeks ago, the computer has been running great since (1gb OCZ + 512mb Stock). I installed the 2nd 1gb on Sunday and I'm back to having problems. (just for clarification, they are the same exact brand, speed, model, everything, I bought them a week and a half apart because of the rebate that was on them).
After installing the memory so that I had 2x1gb in the computer, it starts up okay, but then we try to play a game and it crashes, one of the times being BSOD, one of the times it was a black screen. We tried it with 2 different games, counter-strike source, and an old not very intensive game called painkiller.
I'm not sure where to go from here, the memory is this - 1GB 667MHz DDR2 PC2-5400 200-PIN OCZ - CL 5-5-5-15
I do try to research as much as i can before posting, and the only conclusion I can come to is that it's due to it being 667MHz.
Both of the previous 1gb sticks were 667, but they both had the stock stick installed at the same time, which if I remember correctly was 533MHz.
Thanks guys

I had a similar memory issue on my 7 years old notebook.
I upgraded it with 2 x 512MB RAM modules and after a short time a BSOD appeared.
I thought its a faulty RAM or a compatibility issue and therefore I bought an second modules. It was exactly the same. But the BSOD appeared again.
Finally I tested both memory slots using the single modules and found out that the BSOD appears only using a second memory slot with connection to a high temperature.
Simply said the internal high temperature has affected my second memory slot and this led to a BSOD. Now I can use only one memory slot.
I dont think that your second memory slot can be faulty due to the fact that you have already used the 512MB module in the second memory bank. in my opinion the issue must be related to the new installed memory module either its really an compatibility issue or the second module malfunctions.
Bye

Performance with 2GB RAM and SSD

I own a late 2010 MBA, 13" baseline model with 2GB RAM, w/SSD. I am using Snow Leopard, and it runs perfectly. I would like to upgrade to ML to sync with ipad, but a concerned with performance. I use my MBA for word processing, emails, and internet surfing, including occasional movie downloads. I cannot upgrade the RAM on this model. I would therefore very much appreciate if someone who has run the latest versio of ML on this model can inform me of its performance w/2GB RAM and an SSD drive. (I know it can run; I want to know how it runs). Thanks very much!

Just went through the same situation with my 2006 iMac. Technically my memory tops out at 3gigs, but I can get 4 in there if I insist (though the machine won't take full advantage).
After a considerable amount of research, and hearing some horror stories of some folks who dove straight into Lion on older machines, I opted on upgrading memory to 3gig, backing up all my data, then running a clean install of Snow Leopard. I then reinstalled all my stuff, followed with a run of Monolingual (a shareware program that removes unnecessary languages and builds), then ran OnyX (another shareware) to run scripts and check/repair permissions.
Works fantastic. Machine is operating perfectly on 10.6.8 and with the memory upgrade and clean drive its running faster than ever. Definite new breath of life in the machine.
As per memory upgrade, I'd recommend going to Crucial. They're very Mac friendly, customer oriented, and reasonably priced. They have a small program you can download that scans your machine to determine the correct chip required, then brings you stright to an info and ordering page. I managed to get a 2gig chip with shipping for about $25. With the Snow Leopard upgrade total cost was under $60 for resuscitation.

I book doesnt work with power cord only

Hello. I was just using my ibook g4 and shut it down. When i tried to turn it back on it worked for about 5 minutes then it shut off. I tried taking out the battery and holding down the power button for 5 seconds among other things. I gave up and borrowed a friends battery, he has the same model as me and that battery doesnt work either. I tried just using the power cord only and that doesnt work either. Do i need to take it in to a professional? I've tried just about everything.

Hey Caesar and Welcome to Apple Discussions,
So your header reads:
"i book doesnt work with power cord only "
Is that right? Will it run only on the battery?
If so this is from the manual:
"The computer runs with battery, but not with the power adapter plugged into
wall outlet
1. Try known-good power outlet.
2. Try known-good power adapter and power cord.
Note:
Verify that power adapter connector glows amber or green. If the power
adapter light is green, turn over the computer and press the battery button. The
battery lights should glow green and stay on if the power adapter is operating
correctly.
3. Reset the power manager by pressing the key combination Control-Option-Shiftpower.
Warning: Make sure you do not hold down the "fn" key when resetting the
power manager.
Warning: Resetting the power manager means you will also need to reset the
date and time (using the Date & Time control panel).
4. Replace DC board.
5. Replace logic board."
and it would help to know exactly which iBook you have but this is pretty generic.

I have a macbook with 2 512 mb ram, and wanting to at least replace one with 2gb ram. Do I need to reinstall OS If I do that?

I have a macbook with 1 gb ram, 2 rams with 512 mb. I am planning to replace one with 2gb ram. Do I need to reinstall OS if I replace one of them? Please help. Thanks.

If you want to upgrade your RAM it;s very easy on most MacBooks with the removable battery. We'll need to know the model to further advise you. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier.

Anyone can confirm that Lion runs as smooth as Snow Leopard with 2GB RAM?

Hello,
I want to install Lion on my 1st gen Air, with 2GB RAM. With Snow Leo, sometimes i have to quit Safari because of the RAM is running low.
So i don't want to upgrade if Lion eats more RAM than Snow Leo.
Can anyone confirm that is it worth to install Lion on a laptop with 2GB RAM?
Thanks

I have a late 2007 2.0GHz Macbook with 4GB of RAM. Snow Leopard ran beautifully on it ( I am a web developer and video editor ).
I clean installed Lion last week and it is very sluggish. It'll often hang and 'spinning beach ball' when doing the simplest tasks such as trying to scroll through a web page, switch applications, open a print dialogue box, etc.
The new UI, animations, and some of the new features of Lion are nice, but I'm considering switching back to Snow Leopard. As a power user on an "older" machine, Lion just doesn't cut it. Depending on what you use your laptop, you might have a fantastic experience with Lion. It certainly takes more video memory, so it's likely newer machines won't struggle with it at all. my concern is that the simple elements of the OS have problems running on my machine, meaning one of two things: 1) Lion is built to run well on newer machines with newer hardware or 2) Lion is built poorly. It seems more likely the former is true. in either case, if you have a "base" machine like Macbook or Mac Mini 2008 or older i'd say stick with SL. otherwise upgrade to your heart's content.

Vista will not start with 6 GB of ram (worked with 2GB)

Hello, I recently upgraded from a P6n to a P7n and while I was at it, I purchased 4 more GB of ram, bringing my new total to 6GB of ram. I installed vista, it detected the ram, everything worked great the first night. The next day I tried to start up and blue screen of death. (PS it DID detect all 6 GB the first night...WITHOUT SP1 or SP2). We messed with the BIOS settings, hitting F6 to return it to default and it worked for about 45 minutes. Then crash again. Now we are back in BIOS, messing with it for an hour, finally it works. Then crashes again. I take out the new 4GB and everything works just fine on only 2GB of ram. I read that Vista SP1 will fix the ram issues, so I spend all night dlding it and SP2. This morning I wake up, stick in all the RAM, and I am back to square one.
My question is: Is there any settings I can change to get this to work? Why did it work the first night and not now? Can I go into BIOS and change something, or go into memory voltage and up it? It is set at the default voltage.
I have p7n sli-fi, 8800 nvidia, the new ram is a newer mushkin vs. only 1GB sticks purchased a year and a half ago. I have 2 hard drives, 120 GB ATA and 200GB SATA.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thank you so much.
P.S. I have been reading Vista sucks at recognizing more than 3.5 GB of ram. Am i screwed? Why wouldn't the patches fix this? Why are some people able to get 16GB of ram going, yet I cannot get 6?

Here's the new ram that I already stated:

Will Final Cut Pro X work nicely on a late 2009 13" MacBook Pro 2.26GHz Core 2 Duo with 2GB RAM?

I want to get FCPX but I am not sure if it will be so good on this Macbook Pro... Will it work decently on it even with just 2GB RAM and a Core 2 Duo 2.2GHz and a 13" screen? I also have the lastest version of Snow Leopard 10.6.8

Check here to see if your graphics card is supported. Core i5 is fine, 8 GB RAM is fine but more is better.
You will need fast external drives (FW800 or TB). FCP X has a fully functioning trial version.

Z77A-G45: XMP works with one and only one ram stick.

I am having a problem when using XMP with two ram sticks. One and only one ram stick works fine. Here is the story.
I recently update my build with a set of G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 2133. It had one Kingston 4GB 1333 stick in the past.
The new rams work fine at 1600 if I don't use XMP profile. However, every time when I load XMP, it fails to post. The power goes on for one or two seconds then goes off; then it restarts after a few seconds and fail again. This cycle goes on and on until occasionally it loads the bios and says OC setting failed and click F1 to setup.
I thought maybe the rams were bad so I unpluged one stick, then it started and worked perfectly. I tried either sticks with all the slots. If only one stick plugs in any slot, it always works with XMP; if both two sticks plug in, whatever combination of slots I use, it failed to start.
Does anyone have a clue about this?
Thanks.

G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 2133
Due to most likely non standard SPD profiles, they probably need to be manually set up. That or the CPU IMC is weak. Some of the Beta UEFI/BIOS revisions may be available that addresses problems with this RAM. The change logs might indicate such. There are several variations of G45, so make sure the one I linked is the right one;

Will leopard work with the current 2.16ghz mac book with 2gb ram?

hey just a quick question new to the whole mac thing and was just wanting to know will i be able to upgrade to leopard on my white mac book 2.16ghz with 2gb of ram and 120 gb harddrive?
will it run smoothly?
thanks simon

The terms of use actually says:
"Speculations or rumors about unannounced products."
I would take that to mean questions and speculation about products which have been announced would be okay. Stuff like "Do you think Leopard will be able to do this or that" would seem to be okay.
I think Apple's intent is to keep speculation and/or rumors about products which may not even exist to a minimum.
Granted, no one, apart from developers under a NDA, have experience with Leopard... and even they don't know what the "secret" features are... but I think we're okay chatting about that stuff. They have a major OS overhaul coming in just a few months. I can't imagine they wouldn't expect people to chat about it... beyond what they have posted.

Slow with 2gb RAM?

I clicked on microsoft word and it took almost 9 seconds for it to load.. Hows that possible.. i figured it would take only 2 seconds for a program to load.... its not just word, i remember watching steve jobs work on his Mac at the San francisco forum, he;d click on an icon/ program and poof it would open.. no waiting period.. is my computer slow.. or somethingh wrong with the RAM, the system profiler does show 2GB of RAM.. so what could be the problem.?

True, Office is slow due to it running under rosetta, but 9 seconds is about double what Word 2004 takes to load on my system. You may wish to run through the suggestions the previous poster mentioned. Also be sure your office is up to date. I've applied all patches to mine, and the performance of Office 2004 has went up dramitically (possibly due to their patches, but most likely attributed to Rosetta tweaks Apple has been sneaking into the Tiger updates). At one point I dropped Office and Photoshop CS2 al together for OpenOffice and GIMP, however after 10.4.7 I realised I preferred the products from Adobe and Microsoft and went back and noticed Office and and CS2 performed much better and was completely tolerable this time around.
Anyhow, make sure everything, including Office is updated. Also try those suggestions to improve disk performance.
As side note, my hard drive is 7200 RPM v 5400 RPM, so that could make a slight difference. Though I do have another MacBook with a 5400 RPM and again Office is not that slow to load, but still takes a good 6 seconds.

Premiere Pro CC CUDA rendering working with avi output only

Hello All,
on my system Premiere Pro CC is only using GPU rendering with AVI output formats.
All other formats like MPEG2, Quicktime, H.264 are unfortunatly fully CPU rendered (=slow).
I just upgraded from trial to payed mode and when Premiere started the CUDA was already enabled (might have activated it during trial already).
But anyway I checked if my card was in the support txt file and also used the cuda.zip auto tool to make sure I had no typo.I did this for Premiere Pro CC and also copied the list into the Adobe Media Encoder directory.
No matter what I did - no hardware rendering.
So I started playing with input and output formats.
It turned out that CUDA is currently only working with AVI output. I installed GPU-Z to check my GPU usage vs CPU usage in the task manager.
As soon as I pick any other output format than AVI - CPU usage during rendering is up to 80-90 and GPU at 0%.
With AVI output GPU ist around 30 and CPU in the 40ties or less as it should be.
What is going wrong here?
One of my old applications Cyberlink Power Produces 11 is doing the h264 rendering in half the time.
Any suggestions?
My System is running on:
Asus P8Z77-V Deluxe with 16GB Ram
Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 Ti (with current Driver - 332.21 )
Windows 8.1 Pro 64-Bit (with Media Center) and latest updates
Current entry in CUDA*.txt file (as printed by Adobe GPUSniffer):
GeForce GTX 660 Ti
And already tried:
GeForce GTX 660Ti
GeForce GTX 660
Best regards
Moongate
P.S. I already followed the instructions on this page http://www.studio1productions.com/Articles/PremiereCS5.htm

I now understand that Premiere Pro CC is only using my GPU for accelerating complex effects during editing giving me the possibility of a live preview during editing?
From the editing in other apps I know that the final rendering can also eat up much time which is why they try to accelerate it via GPU rendering. I see that Premiere is "outsourcing" this task to the Adobe Media Encoder (AME) so that you can continue working during rendering.
But I believe what tricked me into asking this question is that in the AME there is also the option to choose between software and GPU assisted Mercury Engine. So there must be a purpose for it and it sounds resonable that it is for GPU assited rendering.
So when the encoder is not using the GPU to speed up completion of rendering - what is he doing with that option?
Would it not be clever to cut rendering drastically using the GPU - its hard to believe that Adobe is only using it for previews?

2010 Macbook Air with 4GB RAM or 2011 Macbook Air with 2GB RAM

So I am looking a the following 2 Reforebished Macbook Air models:
Refurbished MacBook Air 1.6GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
http://store.apple.com/ca/product/FC968LL/A
Originally released July 2011
11.6-inch (diagonal) high-resolution LED-backlit glossy widescreen display
2GB memory
64GB flash storage
Thunderbolt port with support for up to 2560-by-1600 resolution
FaceTime camera
Intel HD Graphics 3000
$789
Refurbished MacBook Air 1.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
http://store.apple.com/ca/product/G0JK0LL/A
Originally released October 2010
11.6-inch LED-backlit glossy widescreen display
4GB memory
128GB flash storage
NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics
FaceTime camera
$799
So my main question is which is better, the core 2 duo with 4GB of memory and 128GB of storage, or is the intel core i5 with 2GB of memory and 64GB of storage better? There is only a $10 differnce so the price doesnèt matter to me.

i would go with the one with more RAM and larger SSD.
Simple reason - you can't upgrade it in the future.
Sure the other one has a faster processor but what's the use of having a faster processor if you only have 2GB of RAM?
The other one is newer, but again, you can't upgrade it.
That's the reason why it's also cheaper........
