Stalling problem, could be ram or psu...

Here's the long story...
I finally got my new pc up and running then noticed it stalled every 2 hours. I contacted MSI and with a speedy reply they told me to up the voltage on my AGP to 1.6v . That was great, was working fine for almost 3 weeks and I had in on overnight without any stalling whatsoever. All of a sudden its starts freezing up on me again. I read around these forums which are great btw! :P And I upped the voltage on my RAM to 2.7v since it's DDR400. Didn't stall all day. Shut my pc opened it up the next day... same problem... upped the voltage on RAM to 2.75 and on AGP to 1.65v, worked fine for a while then started happening again. How far do I up my voltages? I don't know what to do at this point as it seems as i can't avoid this stalling
Your help is much appreciated, thx. Plz don't tell me its my PSU

Hi,
I use Enermax 465 series personnally...... but Antec are also a good/equal to Enermax.
http://www.newegg.com/app/manufact.asp?catalog=58&DEPA=1
Shame they do not ship to UK.....
Would advise researching, as some PSU's "CLAIM" 550w but are no better than a GOOD 250w....

Could Bad RAM Cause Video Problems in 1st Gen 24" iMac

I have been having video problems with my 1st Gen 24" iMac over the past 6 months, but recently the machine wouldn't turn on at all. I left it at my local Apple Store to be diagnosed and they said that it was just a bad stick of RAM (not a big deal, its cheap these days). But what I forgot to ask them was, could that bad RAM be causing the video problems I've been having or is it the video card also?
Thanks!

Are you still having video problems since the ram was replaced? If the problem went away then it was the cause, it not then something else is.

When I watch a streaming HD video the picture is jittery. Could adding RAM solve the problem?

hello ozltem, i think this is related to this bug in adobe's flash plugin: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3223393 (apparently they are aware of the issue & can replicate it, but they are not fixing it because it doesn't have a high priority).
as a workarounf you could try if [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/flash-113-crashes#w_solution-2-downgrade-to-flash-10-3 downgrading to flash 10.3] (which is still supported) or [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071#TemporaryWorkaround disabling protected mode].

PowerMac G4 having problems with new RAM modules!

dear all,
I’ve recently got 2 512 MB Ram module from a British eBay dealer, to be used on 2 different but very similar PowerMac G4 AGP Graphichs 400 MHz machines.
I installed the first module in my father’s Mac, and it works fine, no problems of any sort. Then, a few days later, I installed the other module in my PowerMac, and immediately it started behaving very erratically: some programs didn’t open at all and others crashed with no warning, I tried to run Rember but it soon get stuck. I assumed the Ram module was faulty, emailed the dealer (who’s been very helpful) and then sent it back to get a replacement. The new module arrived yesterday, I installed it... and it was even worse: as some programs didn’t open as soon as the new module was installed, I rebooted the PowerMac but it hasn’t been able even to load the OS anymore, it just stopped at the blue screen forever, once came out a black screen and a Darwin login, but nothing else. As soon as I removed the Ram module the PowerMac started to work perfectly again.I'd assume again there's something wrong in the Ram module, but isn't it too much unlucky to get 2 faulty modules one after the other, or maybe the problem could somewhere else, in my PowerMac?!?
Unfortunately I can't test the new module in my father's machine, as we live 700 kms apart.
My hardware details are:
Power Mac G4
Model: PowerMac3,3
CPU: PowerPC G4 (2.9)
1 CPU
CPU Speed: 400 MHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 1 MB
Memory: 896 MB
Bus speed: 100 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.2.8f1
thanks!

ok, I've now tried every possible combination... but with no success
First, taking out one of the "old" 128 MB I realized it was one of the High density DIMMs (chips on one side only) Japamac was mentioning, in total 2 of the 128 modules were like this. However, taking out one or both of them, or even having only the "new" 512 MB module in, hasn't changed much, sometimes the OS booted, sometimes not but there were always some programs not opening/crashing and Rember got stuck with an error message. With just the "new" module the booting stopped at the blue screen (only blue, no apple splash screen in the centre).
With the new module plus one of the old 128 MB modules (the one with chips on both sides) Rember got stuck very soon, and the error message was:

Time machine: An error occurred while copying files. The problem could be temporary. If the problem persists, use Disk Utility to repair your backup disk.

Time machine backups are failing. I've followed the instructions I found on the Time Machine troubleshooting page (http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html) but have gotten to where I don't know what to do next.
Sequence of events:
The main error message is always:
An error occurred while copying files. The problem could be temporary. If the problem persists, use Disk Utility to repair your backup disk.
Yesterday, I opened Disk Utility and verified the disk. Got this error:
Error: This disk needs to be repaired using the Recovery HD. Restart your computer, holding down the Command key and the R key until you see the Apple logo. When the OS X Utilities window appears, choose Disk Utility.
I ran Disk Utility and repaired the hard drive. Then I manually started the backup before going to bed, figuring it was going to take a long time to run. When I got up this morning, the backup had failed with the same "could be temporary" error. I checked the log, which says:

Does anyone know what the problem is here and what I should do?
Thanks,

You have repaired your boot drive (which is good) but have you repaired your time machine drive? I don't own a Time Capsule so I don't know if disk utility can operate on it. If it can, you should repair it as well. You may need to erase it and start a new backup. That happens to time machine volumes from time to time and is why people who are serious about their data never rely on a single source of backup.

On my Mac Mini, I keep getting this error message: "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server". I don't have any problems with iCloud on my laptop / PC. It works fine... Does anyone know what the problem could be?

On my Mac Mini, I keep getting this error message: "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server". I don't have any problems with iCloud on my laptop / PC. It works fine... Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Your Mac must be on Lion (10.7) to run iCloud. Apple had to change the operating system to fully support it. Nevertheless, it is possible to get emails from iCloud without having Lion. Please tell me if this interests you.
Anyways, here is the link to buy Lion (30 dollars, totally worth the upgrade ): http://itunes.apple.com/be/app/os-x-lion/id444303913?mt=12

Your Desktop Picture settings and Dock items are stored in the files
/Users/your short user name/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist and
/Users/your short user name/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
in the "Preferences" folder in your user library. This looks like the system has trouble to write to these files. Check the permissions on your user library and remove the above files from your user library, then log off and on again.
Your user library is hidden in Lion and Mt. Lion. To reveal it, use the Finder's "Go" menu. Select "Go" in the Finder's main menu bar and hold down the alt/option key, until you see the "Library" in the drop-down menu. Double click it to open a Finder window, so you can browse the files inside.

Installing Oracle RAC problem: Could not determine /tmp mount point

Folks,
Hello. I am installing Oracle 11gR2 RAC using 2 Virtual Machines (rac1 and rac2 whose OS are Oracle Linux 5.6) in VMPlayer and according to the tutorial
http://appsdbaworkshop.blogspot.com/2011/10/11gr2-rac-on-linux-56-using-vmware.html
I am installing Grid infrastructure. I am on step 7 of 10 (verify Grid installation enviroment) and get this error:
"Free Space: Rac2: /tmp"
Cause: Could not determine mount point for location specified.
Action: Ensure location specified is available.
Expected value: n/a
Actual value: n/a
I have checked the free space using the command:
[root@Rac2 /]# df -k /tmp
Output:
Filesystem 1k-blocks used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 30470144 7826952 21070432 28% /
As you see above, the free space is enough, but could not determine mount point for /tmp.
Do any folks understand how to determine the mount point for directory /tmp ?
Thanks.

Folks,
Hello. I have found the file ./bash_profile under /home/ora11g/ and the file is invisible. However, I edit the file using the command:
[ora11g@Rac2 ~]$ vi /home/ora11g/.bash_profile
I add the 2 lines into the file as below:
TMP=/tmp; export TMP
TMPDIR=$TMP; export TMPDIR
I save the file .bash_profile and reboot Oracle Linux 5.6 and check again on step 7 of 10 in the Installer, but the problem is still not solved.
Can any folk help to solve the strange problem "could not determine mount point for /tmp" ?
Thanks.

Hiya,
Many thanks for this, but it doesn't happen upon start-up, it happens when i select scans on the pasteboard. The programme always starts up fine, it's when i start try and use the program when the problems start.

You must create the account using an Apple device, a Mac (Lion or greater) or an IOS device (IOS5 or greater). Having done that you will be able to sign in from your Windows machine.
FYI, iCal is an application that can display calendars from iCloud (and others) it is not a calendar itself, merely a calendar client. In Windows Outlook is the calendar client.

I think theres a problem with my ram someone help me please

I have a ibook g4 mid 2005 model and the hard drive says zero kb free i deleted half of my applications i dont need and it still says zero kb free. is there a problem with my ram? or is there a mac virus or somthing? also when i opened a game after a while it said force quit please and delete stuff becuase your hard drive is full. someone help me please!

It does not sound like a RAM issue but a disk problem. You might just need to empty the trash so that the deleted space is marked free. Otherwise it is best to boot from an install CD, run Disk Utility, and do a "Repair Disk"

How to solve the problem me low Ram on C6-00?

My nokia C6-00 is just 22 days old.I have been facing a lot of problems due to low ram.120MB for a smart phone is quite so low.When I use it for apps like IBN LIVE here in India it just asks to close some applications since memory is full!So I need to leave what I had been doing and use ramblow or mobile guard to free up memory and come back to it.It it cant handle multitasking what kind of a smart phone is this?Any suggestion of a good ram booster or memory booster?
In Love With My C6-01:Now running on Nokia Belle!

OK, don't get desperate... I think I found a little help, but yes, I'm aware that our device has serious problems with its RAM memory.
Step 1: upgrade software to v.40.2.021 (or a newer one if that exists).
Step 2: disable the automatic key lock (you better enable/disable it manually)
Step 3: disable touch screen vibrations and sounds (have you noticed that our device responds better and faster when you put it on 'silence' mode?).
Step 4: Use the RAMblow Pro application and, very important: enable the memory boost option. I'm not using the automatic option. I put the RAMblow widget on main screen and use it manually, several times a day.
Step 5: Don't use NetQin antivirus nor Mobile Guard. They are good, but they consume a lot or RAM memory. I'm using Kaspersky right now and it's working fine (the problem is that it's not for free).
My free RAM memory has increased and now my cell phone is not hangin like it used before.
If you find other ways of improving our device performance, please tell me.
Greetings.
