Server 2k8 Foundation wont boot after RAM upgrade

Specs:
Intel Core i3-550 3.2GHz 4M LGA1156 Processor
Crucial 2GBx2 DDR3 1333MHz Memory
Intel DQ57TM Motherboard
500GB (2X500GB) 7.2 RAID 1 Mirror
Running Server S2k8 R2 Foundation. I attempted to upgrade the ran to 8GB (from 4GB). I matched the Ram down to the latency but when i boot with new ram the BIOS recognizes it but when it attempts to load Windows Server it shuts down and starts
an boot cycle loop.
I have checked the BIOS and there are no options for settings on the ram without overclocking. OC just puts the ram voltage out of spec for the DIMMS. I have updated the BIOS firmware but was unable to find ANY drivers for the MOBO and chipset
from Intel.
Any ideas?? This is super frustrating

Hi Admicoker1,
If your computer not complete the POST check there must the hardware issue, ask your hardware vendor for the further help first is the best method, from you description and
base on my experience you can first try to reset your BIOS to Factory& Safe mode then try to boot your computer or confirm with your mainboard manual you have plug in the RAM to correct slot.
Best Regards.

Aspire AOD-260 Wont boot after RAM upgrade

Hi all, I have a Acer Aspire AOD-260, which comes with 1GB of RAM.I purchased a 2GB DDR3-1333 PC3-10600 (which from what I can tell is the same spec as the 1GB currently in the netbook) When I put the 2GB in - the PC won't boot, I can't even get into the BIOS. (2 of the LED's Remain on - The far left one (with a lightbulb) and the far right (with the signal image)I put the 1GB back in after and it booted fine. This is the RAM I purchased - http://www.kingston.com/en/memory/search/?partid=kvr13s9s6/2 Can anyone shed some light as to why this is happening? Regards,Warrick

Hello, The Aspire One D260 works with DDR2 or DDR3 according the models (3 motherboards).In your case, you need DDR3 memory stick. The original memory stick for your netbook is:KN.2GB0B.026SODIMM.2GB.DDR3-1333.SAMSUNG.LFYou'll see the Samsung part number on the webpage.

Mac mini won't boot after RAM upgrade.

Tried installing new RAM in my Mac Mini, 512MB stock to 2GB of Crucial. Followed the directions to a T, grounded myself the whole time.
Things I've tried so far:
1. Resetting the PRAM, no luck.
2. Holding option at start-up, shows no icon.
3. Holding shift, no luck.
4. Holding X, nothing.
How do I get it to accept a CD if it won't boot?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You clearly have a problem, but you don't describe exactly what that is other than that your mini won't boot after the upgrade. What happens when it starts up? Does it attempt to start and hang up on the grey or blue screens, or does it start beeping at you almost immediately after you try and start it up, and also flash the power light?
If the former, then you may have dislodged a connector while working inside the system, in which case opening it up and checking that everything is firmly connected would be the first thing to do. If the latter, then the beeping/light flashing is the system telling you it has failed the power-on self test and the pattern of beeps/lights indicates why. In your case likely the system can't find workable memory. In that instance, opening the system and ensuring that the RAM is firmly and fully seated would be a good step, and if the mini continues to fail, then replacing the new RAM with the original to test that the system will then start.
It is not likely that anything had damaged your MacOS install in the process of upgrading, thus normally no reason to need to boot to CD as a result of a RAM issue.

MacBook not booting after RAM upgrade

I'm sorry if the case has been already posted.
Yesterday I took my MacBook Alu unibody late 2008 to a RAM upgrade (from 2 to 4gigs) to an offical Mac Reseller. They installed it and showed me that the system loads properly and recognized the new RAM.
I took it home, started working on After Effects and Photoshop and when i wanted to check a video on Quicktime, this program refused to boot.
Then photoshop freeze and after effects did so. I quited all aplications and restarted. On restart after the 'bong' i've got the grey screen white an apple logo and a loading bar underneath, that was it, it never finished loading but shutting down.
After the 2nd try the computer gave me the BAD RAM alarm signal right before the start button was pressed and nothing more. I just managed to start it ONCE on safe mode, but this one also freezed and colapsed.
Today i didn't get the BAD ram alarm but the grey screen and loading bar after shutting down.
I took it back to the reseler, the shop boss who did the upgrade wasn't there , the guys on the morning shift placed the old RAM back resulting the same. So they told me it's a software problem, not hardware and might be caused by a failed firmware update or something i did wrong and since i was showed that the system booted after the upgrade i can't complain or argue that they did somethiing wrong.
So basically the want 80euros to check what's wrong with my computer plus the 120 i already payed them for a RAM that doesn't work and of course the repair cost of the computer.
On monday i'll go to talk to the boss, what do you guys recomend me to tell him? i'm frustrated that the guys there treat me like if i broke my computer for beeing stupid and wanted to get it fixed for free, when it clearly broke after they did something wrong on it!
please advice me!
thanks!

What brand is the RAM? From what you said, it is obvious that the RAM is at fault. I would simply tell them that it is not compatible and return the RAM.
Check the System Profiler to see what it says about the RAM (Apple Logo - About this Mac - More Info) and run this application to test the RAM:
http://www.memtestosx.org/joomla/index.php
If either shows any errors, print out the results and take them with you to the store.

Macbook Pro is Not Booting After RAM Upgrade

Hi,
I just upgraded the RAM in my MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion from 4gb to 8gb (Using the memory that the guy at Fry's recommended). It has been stuck on the Apple logo for about 20 minutes after the upgrade, even after I made sure that the RAM was seated properly. Is it normal for it to take this long to boot after a RAM upgrade?

I installed 8gb (2 X4gb) and it has a maximum of 8gb. I have determined that it was just bad RAM, so I will return it as soon as I can.
Thanks.

Satellite A105-S2001 wont boot after memory upgrade

I just tried to upgrade my memory from 512mb to 2 gb using 2 1gb memory chips from crucial. When i insert both memory chips at the same time my laptop wont boot, it'll attempt to but stop in the middle of the process and try again 5 or 6 times. Nothin shows up on the screen. The same thing happens when i put only one 1gb chip in. When i put my old 512mb chip in and one 1gb chip the computer boots but only recognizes 960mb or ram. i also updated my bios.
thanks

Sounds like incompatible memory. Fortunately, Crucial is very good about honoring their compatibility guarantee so you should be able to get them exchanged. You can get very strange results with incompatible chips due to the differences in timing specs. That would account for what you're seeing. I assume it works normally if you have just the original 512MB chip in place.

T1000 wont boot after firmware upgrade if SCA6000 is connected

Hi guys,
as u may have guessed from the topic, I had a T1000 server with a sun SCA6000 crypto card mounted in the PCI slot.

This is the console output with POST after the poweron command:

sc> Guessing an hardware compatibility problem, i tried to remove the SCA6000 board and the system booted again without an hassle.
Unluckily, I need the SCA6000, and I don't have any other server in which to mount it, so I tried to downgrade the firmware to the release I had before the upgrade:
firmware version: 6.6.7
patchid: 136928-05
but the system does not boot anymore with the SCA6000 connected. I even tried an older fw release just to be sure (fw 6.6.1, patch 136928-01), with the same result.
I did not find mention of any incompatibility in T1000 or SCA6000 documentation.
Any help would be REALLY appreciated
Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
This looks similar to the bug 6630313 :: http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-1-6630313-1
As described in the bug document, it is due to lower f/w rev. on the SCA6000 and solution is to upgrade the crypto card f/w to 1.1.0 /1.1.0 (bootstrap/operational )or later.
Another workaround would be to install system f/w 6.2.4 or 6.2.8 which works well with crypto card f/w 1.0.4/1.0.7.
Copying relevant part of the document for ref.
=======================
Work Around: The card is recognized by obp and prtdiag with firmware 6.2.4, so at this point customer is using firmware 6.2.4 as workaround.
Customer's crypto card is currently running 1.0.4/1.0.7 bootstrap/operational firmware. Customer can upgrade the card to newer firmware such as 1.1.0/1.1.0 by moving card to a system that boots successfully such as Ontario T2000. After such upgrade, install the card back into T1000 which should boot successfully with sysfw 6.4.0, 6.5.5 or 6.5.11 posted on Sunsolve.
Another workaround is customer can downgrade the T1000 sysfw to 6.2.8 so they can boot with the crypto card. After the T1000 is up and running with sysfw 6.2.8, customer can upgrade the crypto card fw to the latest 1.0 patch on the T1000 itself, then upgrade the T1000 sysfw to the latest
version posted on Sunsolve. This workaround does require customer to have access to an Ontario T2000 system.
Another workaround is customer can downgrade the T1000 sysfw to 6.2.8 so they can boot with the crypto card. After the T1000 is up and running with sysfw 6.2.8, customer can upgrade the crypto card fw to the latest 1.0 patch on the T1000 itself, then upgrade the T1000 sysfw to the latest
version posted on Sunsolve. This workaround does not require customer to have access to an Ontario T2000 system.

Re: Satellite A660 - No boot after RAM upgrade

I have just gotten 8GB of RAM for my Satellite A660, it is Corsair CM3X4GSD1066 4GB PC-8500 (1066MHz) 204-pin SO-DIMM DDR3 RAM CL7.
The system posts fine and the 8GB is showing up in BIOS but once its clears post and goes to load Windows it stops on the black screen, the cursor flashes a few times then it stops. I have left it for about 5 minutes and it wont boot through.
Please Help.
I have replaced the 4GB sticks and it works fine.

Hello
For me it sounds like that the modules are not compatible or have defective sectors
As Akuma wrote, such performance modules are risky in notebook because you dont have any options to change the latency values as on desktop computers. So I always prefer Kingston modules for notebook RAM upgrade.
But before you buy other modules, try a BIOS update and load the default settings.

MacBook Pro won't boot after ram upgrade...

Hey everybody! Hope everyone is having a great Christmas! I got a 16gb ram upgrade for my 2012 MacBook Pro 15 today and I am having some trouble with the upgrade. Its an odd problem. I installed the two 8gb sticks no problem, but when I try and boot into OS X the machine shows the apple logo with the spinning wheel underneath, and then it just shuts itself off. I don't know what the problem is. The machine boots fine into my Windows 7 partition, and registers both sticks of ram. OS X restore also boots no problem and lets me reinstall OS X, which is what I am doing currently. IDK if this is just because of a hardare change or what. The ram I installed is Adata pc3 12800 1600mhz ram, so it should be supported.

Replace the Ram, buy from OWC or Crucial, buy the Ram Apple recommend, don't rely on "it should work"

K7n2-L wont boot after bios upgrade

I have been very happy with the motherboard since i bought it in april 2003, been very stable and only had minor usb problems. And i finally decided to upgrade the bios from v. 3.7 to v. 4.1.
After the upgrade the machine boots up to the first windows that shows me the memory and the hard disk i have installed. I can also go into BIOS.
But the PC stops when its about to start booting up the HD or CDrom. According to the lights on the D-Bracket its trying to initializing the floppy controller.
There has never been a floppy drive in this PC before(i booted the PC on CDROM when i upgraded the BIOS).
I have tried the following things without success;
installed a floppy drive.
Cleared the CMOS(with the jumper)
Unplugged the cdrom and the hard disk.
Tried every memory configuration.
jumped the safe mode jumper.
It seems to me that i can only fix this by changing the BIOS chip....or the mainboard.
Anyone had this problem?

Azraeliz,
Sounds to me like perhaps you've overlooked a setting in the BIOS
Did you take note of the BIOS settings prior to flashing so you could put the settings back the way they were?
nuckelavee,
I suggest you start your own thread. I have a hard time believing there is no CMOS jumper.
Tried this? ***Starting your K7N2 Delta2 at default settings***

No boot after ram upgrade

I recently purchased a 4GB ram kit for my mid-2008 Macbook Pro. I got PNY DDR2 PC2-5300, which should work fine. Pop open the cover, remove old ram, put in new ram, put cover back on and it won't boot. I tried resetting the PRAM and it still wont boot. However, if I switch out one of the new 2GB modules with an old 1GB module, it works fine. The computer boots and sees 3GB ram.
I have a 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, which is capable of using 4GB of ram. Is there anything I can do to get my computer to boot with the full 4GB?
Message was edited by: trickysean

Assuming the RAM has been fully pushed home (a not uncommon issue with MNBPs) then the most likely explanation is that the RAM you have bought simply isn't fully compatible with the MBP 2.4, trickysean. It may be that there are latency issues which are somehow ameliorated when you use one of the old sticks in combination. Was it specifically sold for use in a 2.4 GHz MBP? I can't see your model listed in the PNY RAM configurator assistant.
I'd be returning it and asking for my money back.
Check out OWC, or look for RAM from Corsair / Kingston /Crucial etc that is clearly specified as Mac compatible.
Cheers

Macbook pro wont sleep after ram upgrade

Hi,
I have a 17" Macbook pro late 2011. I upgraded the ram from 8gb to 16gb last week and now I having trouble with sleep. When the laptop goes to sleep it always to seems to go into hibernation mode. When I open the lid I can only wake the computer by holding the power button for around 7 secs and then it does a restore from the HD. I've tried a PRAM + SMC reset. Also tested the ram and everything seems good. Below is the output from pm set, the console after hibernation restore (filtered for the word 'sleep') and the memtest. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi fatlinesofcode,
First of all, check out Apples article on the issue: OS X Yosemite: If your Mac won’t go to or stay in sleep If you find these steps don't help, try a few of the following
A common cause for the Mac not sleeping is your printer. If there are queued jobs waiting to be printed, but your printer is switched off, for some reason you Mac just wont like it and simply will not go to sleep. System Preferences > Print and Scan > Open Print Queue
Do you have an Ethernet Cable connected? People have reported in the past that removing their Ethernet allowed their Mac to sleep. This goes for other things you may have connected directly to your Mac also.
Try heading into your Mac Preferences > Sharing and deselecting 'Internet Sharing' as well as 'Printer Sharing'.
Also deselect Wake For Network Access by heading to System Preferences > Energy Saver > Power Adapter > Wake For Network Access.
Energy Saver > Schedule > Startup or Wake - Uncheck.
Alternatively, set your system preferences to Never Sleep, and put into Sleep manually: System Preferences > Energy Saver > Computer Sleep > Never.
Good luck!

Lion freeze on boot after ram upgrade.

I have a mid-2010 13" Macbook Pro. I wanted to upgrade to 8G of ram so I bought this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002YUF8ZG/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
When it arrived in the mail I installed it and booted the laptop. The apple logo comes up, the spinner starts spinning and then after awhile freezes. I figured that I recieved bad RAM so I sent it back to apple and they sent me new memory. I installed the new ram and the same thing happened again. Booting in verbose mode (Apple-V) doesn't give anything useful.
This time I decided to run memory tests. I booted into single user mode (which sees 8G of memory and works fine) and ran memtest overnight. It ran 6 or 7 passes without finding any memory errors.
My next plan is to try to my DVD reinstall/repair the OS to see if that will help but I don't want to do that because I would have to downgrade to Snow Lepoard and then reinstall Lion and that takes long enough to try to avoid.
Any things to try?

When you boot in single user or safe mode, all third party software is prevented from started. So it is possbile one of your third party party applications that are starting at boot is not compatable with the new RAM. I would try turning it all off and then test them all each in turn.

Laptop won't boot after RAM upgrade

Hello guys,
I've just upgraded my RAM from 4gb to 8gb.
I know I can do it since the manual from my notebook says so. After installing the new RAM my laptop only shows blank screen. I upgraded my ram with Corsair CMSO8GX3M2A1333C9. How do I solve this problem? Thanks for the help!
Cheers
Edit : Clumsy me, It hadn't clicked properly now it run smoothly
Solved

I took a look at the memory finder on the Corsair website. Corsair does not appear to produce any modules that they guarantee are compatible twith your notebook. You may end up having to return the modules. Contact Corsair support via the Corsair forum to see if they know which modules will work with your notebook.
Did you add two modules or add only a single module to the one that was already installed?
For a successful memory upgrade, alwaays add memory modules in identical pairs of guaranteed compatible memory modules.
The Crucial modules that are guaranteed compatible are in the following image

HP g4-1387 won't boot after RAM upgrade

I have an HP g4-1387la with 4Gb of RAM and I want to add it 4 more Gigas.
I bought a 4Gb DDR3 SODIMM 1333MHz Kingston RAM but when I put it in the slot and try to boot my notebook it stays on a blackscreen, it turns on, but doesn't boot.
If I take off the Kingston RAM it boot normally. This notebook accepts up to 8Gb of RAM. What is the problem ?
Thank you
