Temp. Sensor Identification AND Memory Testing--Help!

I have just installed some memory from OWC, I ordered the OWC brand and they sent me OWC (2X512) and NetList (4X1GB).
I would like to test the ram. What test should I be doing???
Also, I have downloaded Harware Monitor and Temperature Monitor, is that what you are using to see the temperature of your DIMMS?
Okay, I'm totally confused by the sensors mentioned below. Please explain what each of these sensors is actually measuring--ok?
Is it normal to have only three sensors per memory bank?
Memory Bank A Point 1 (local computer)
Memory Bank A Point 2 (local computer)
Memory Bank A Point 3 (local computer)
Memory Bank B Point 1 (local computer)
Memory Bank B Point 2 (local computer)
Memory Bank B Point 3 (local computer)
Memory Module A1 (local computer)
Memory Module A2 (local computer)
Memory Module A3 (local computer)
Memory Module A4 (local computer)
Memory Module B1 (local computer)
Memory Module B2 (local computer)
Memory Module B3 (local computer)
Memory Module B4 (local computer)
Thanks,
RObert

1-4 would imply to me riser one, slot four. Mine just
has one temp on my istat pro.
Michael,
There are four readings... 1 through 4. Yet, I have 8 modules... I would like to know what is being measured.
Also, with Temperature Monitor or Hardware Monitor there are 14 sensors being measured and I'd like to know what these are as well. They are:
Memory Bank A Point 1 (local computer)
Memory Bank A Point 2 (local computer)
Memory Bank A Point 3 (local computer)
Memory Bank B Point 1 (local computer)
Memory Bank B Point 2 (local computer)
Memory Bank B Point 3 (local computer)
Memory Module A1 (local computer)
Memory Module A2 (local computer)
Memory Module A3 (local computer)
Memory Module A4 (local computer)
Memory Module B1 (local computer)
Memory Module B2 (local computer)
Memory Module B3 (local computer)
Memory Module B4 (local computer)
Thanks.

  • 2 complete FCE projects, files moved or missing, and memory full----help!

    I have a
    MacBook Pro version 10.4.10
    Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory: 2GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    and purchased the FCE HD.
    After completing FCE projects-exporting to iMovie-sharing it over to iDVD-and burn to DVD, I was and is still in a blur from what happens next.
    When I tried to create another FCE project, it said low disc space, so I purchased a 160GB Seagate, and attempted to copy the finished FCE projects into the Seagate, but when I try and open the project so I'm certain if I need to go back and edit or burn another DVD, it will be there, then it says there are files missing, or error code 1309.
    I then got nervous, read through the FCE .pdf for assistance, started moving files around, trying to copy whatever over to the external. Now, when I try and open the existing project, I can't
    I may be over cautious, but because of it, I've used up all my memory. Now, I can't open the projects because I've moved the files around.
    Right now, I am at a halt. Can anyone help me please, is there a way for me to reorganize my files so that I can open my existing FCE project as the final product, and then archive and move to the external drive, and still be able to open, edit, and burn again? I'm trying to clear the memory from harddrive so I can work on add'l FCE projects.
    When I check Disk Utility for my Macintosh HD, the capacity is 148.7GB, and my available is 479.7 MB.
    The 160GB Seagate's capacity is 149.0 GB, and the available is 93.0GB.
    Thank you for any assistance.

    When you purchased the Seagate, did you format it Mac OS Extended?
    -Go into Disk Utility
    -Select the disk
    -Make sure all your files are off the drive before you do this:
    -Change Format to Mac OS Extended.

  • GPU 0 Die Temp Sensor ERROR on a MacBook Pro. Can anybody help?

    Hello.
    My wife has a 15-inch, 2.4GHz MacBook Pro model 3.1 laptop.
    All of sudden the screen started to flicker, and after that,  it could no longer be booted. Applelogo visible but the timewheel stops and nothing happens.
    I managed to get hold of a copy of ASD (Apple Service Diagnostic) for her computer, and I found out what was wrong:
    There is a test called "Temp Sensor - GPU 0 Die Temp" that fails. I get the following message:
    "Temp sensor GPU 0 Die Temp test 1 - Sensor Reads Within Operating Range
    - Check to ensure that sensor reads within operating range.
    ERROR - Unable to read sensor
    - TEST FAILED -
    Temp sensor GPU 0 Die Temp test 8 - Sensor Noise Test
    - Checks that sensor Noise is within spec.
    ERROR - Unable to read sensor
    - TEST FAILED -"
    If I look in the "Hardware Profile" under "sensor" I find the following:
    "Sensor
    type:            Temperature
    location:            TG0D
    low-limit:            15
    high-limit:        85
    reading:            1.0
    description:        GPU 0 Heatsink Temp
    noise-tolerance:    1.0"
    The thing is that the problem seems to be intermittent. It comes and goes. All of a sudden the test passes and I can boot the computer. Some days the computer can  work for a whole day, so it doesn´t  seem to be related to temperature.
    What do you guys and girls think? Is this fixable by myself? Does anybody know where this sensor is located? Maybe it´s just a bad connection, since it´s intermittent?
    I feel I have come a little bit on the way to be able to solve this issue, and it would feel like a failure to be forced to leave the computer at an Apple Service Center, if it´s even worth it to do that. There is a risk that the computer is not worth a repair.
    Could someone please chime in here for a clever advice?
    Thanks.
    Bo Reimer.

    Welcome Bo!
    It may be related to a known problem with MBPs 3,1 and 4,1. Some had a bad Nvidea Geforce 8600M GT video chipset that could fail under high heat cpnditions. There is an Apple Repair Extension Program (REP) that will fix the defect at no charge for up to four years from date of purchase:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377
    You'll need to have an Apple retail store or an authorized service provider check the computer with a special test gadget for positive ID of the problem to qualify. If it does, you get a new logic board. Reported turnaround for the fix is from same day to three days.
    If their test does not turn up the Nvideo curse, you still have an affordable repair option if you live in North America (It would he helpful if you fill in the "Geographic Information" field in your profile--at this point I'm having to assume you're in N. America)).
    The option is a depot repair. Apple sends your computer to their central refurbishment facility and bascially fixes anything outside of cosmetic damage for a flat fee of about US$315--much cheaper that a new computer. Taxes and shipping may apply.
    People who have used this option are reporting excellent results and a turnaround of about one business week.

  • DV7 - Error 03F0 - No Boot Device Detected - Passes both Memory and HDD Test

    Hi there, 
    My DV7 will not boot up at all.  When powered on, I see the HP loading screen briefly, then into "dos type" font saying "No Boot Device Detected - Error 03F0"
    I have run both the memory test and hard drive test from the diagnostic menu and both come back ok.  
    A little more history on the Device/Problem; 
    2 months ago it was shutting itself off due to overheating - After a good cleaning, the temps cooled down enough that it was no longer shutting off.
    I am currently in India, plugging directly into outlets (230v power) using an adapter.  10 days ago there was a small spark at the outlet leaving a very small spot on one of the prongs of the adapter.  There was no power flicker, and it wasn't a surge, just almost like a bad connection sparking.  This "spark" seemed to have killed my charger immediately.  I used the battery until nearly dead, purchased a new charger, but when I returned and tried the new charger, it would not charge, nor power on.  When plugged in, at this point, the power/charging light on the side was lit, but not on the front.  I used a pin to open the CD drive, and the front light lit up, but it still would not power on.
    I took it to a repair shop here in India, and they managed to get it so it would power on (not sure how), but that has only brought me to where I'm at right now with the Error.  They said "It worked, and then we tested again and it didn't work and now it no work".
    My current BIOS edition is F.46.
    Essentially I'm wondering if I'm screwed - and if I'm not, then what can I do to trouble shoot/fix it?  
    P.S.  Finding parts in India that are specific to my computer will be near impossible with the technology differences.  Also, dealing with local techs is extremely difficult so I'll need to know 
    P.S.S.  I just tried to power it on again to double check the accuracy of my post and it will not power on, nor can I get the CD drive open again....

    Is the unit still in warranty?
    Based on the description of the behavior, it does sound a hardware issue beyond the hard drive.
    Was the AC adapter that was purchased an HP adapter? I know you said it is difficult to get the right parts in your area, but I want to confirm if it is an HP adapter or aftermarket.

  • HP Pavilion g6-2330dx. "No Boot Device. Insert boot disk and press any key" Memory test failed

    Hi. So I am trying to help a friend with her laptop. It's a HP Pavilion g6-2330dx.
    Product #: D1C01UA#ABA
    Serial #: [Personal Information Removed]
    Windows 8
    ADATA 4GB RAM
    Toshiba 640GB HDD from the looks of it.
    The laptop is unable to boot into Windows, so I suspect the hard drive. But I ran the hard drive test and it passed all the tests. The SMART test and both the short and long test. I ran the tests multiple times and it passed each time. I tried reseating the hard drive and still no go. I also removed the HDD and connected it to my desktop PC to see if it detects and it did. Ran the Windows 7 own HDD test and it passed.
    Currently, there doesnt seem to be any operating system at all on the HDD. When I check, there is a C: drive of ~90GB partition that is ~90GB free, but inside there are Windows files/folders. There is also a D: drive Recovery partition that says ~26GB with only ~2GB free, but when I go inside there's only ~350MB worth of data.
    So then I ran the memory test (in BIOS) and it failed immediately. I reseated the RAM module. I tried the other slot. It still failed. So is it safe to say the memory is the cause of this problem?
    Pressing the F11 key that is supposed to take me to the System Recovery only leads me back to the black screen with "No Boot Device. Insert boot disk and press any key"
    I even tried to install Windows 7 to see if it'll work. I was able to get the laptop to boot/read off the Windows 7. But when I click to install, it asks for a boot device driver or something like that.
    My friend doesn't have the recovery disk either. I guess she lost it.
    Anyway, is it as simple as replacing the memory or could it actually be the HDD (even though it passes)?
    EDIT: This is what the System Log in BIOS says
    0021           Time: 10/13/2014
    03F0           Time: 10/13/2014
    03F0           Time: 10/13/2014
    The date was the first time I ran the tests. I havent received those numbers (error codes?) since.
    EDIT: Just for kicks, I ran Memtest 2.11 just now (forgot I had the disc) and it immediately went red with thousands of errors, hah.

    Hi bghs,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    It is a fantastic place to find answers and information.
    For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
    I understand that you were unable to boot into Windows,  and you suspected the hard drive and tested it, but it passed both short and long test.  With that being said and the fact that it also passed  leads me to believe the hard drive is fine.
    You tested the memory and it failed.  You tried reseating and swapping slots but they  still failed the test.
    I would test each card individual with the memtest to determine if it is just one or both cards that have an issue.
    When you installed it in another computer, you did see the recovery partition.  Once the memory issue is resolved, if you are still unable to boot into Windows, I suggest you do a recovery with the minimized image.   Here is a link to Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8) to assist you with that process.
    I hope this helps.

  • P45 platinum gets stuck on Base and Extended Memory Test

    First my system specs:
    MB: P45 platinum
    CPU: Intel Core Duo Quad Q6600
    GPU: Nvidia Evga 8600 GTS 256MB
    RAM: 1x 1GB OCZ Nnvidia PC2 6400 dual channel 1x 2GB Corsair
    OS: Windows XP Pro sp3
    Well my current problem is that when i turn on my computer it gets stuck on Testing Extended and Base Memory according to the LED lights, sometimes if i wait it will start up the system and sometimes it wont, this has been happening for about a week. Also another thing that happens is that it blue screens me sometimes when its starting up and restarts not sure if this is a OS or a motherboard issue. Previously when it was doing the extended base memory test it would reset right there several times even before starting, when it does start i have no issues though, would really appreciate if anyone can help me with this, thanks before hand.

    If you got hang while trying to go into BIOS, it means that a hardware is failing depending on where it is stuck at. I suggest you hit esc key during bootup and see where the bootup hangs at.
    I have the splash screen disabled so can see exactly where its happening. Initialises USB devices, two beeps, then stops at end of memory count 4gb. The only other time it doesnt load is when my monitor doesnt kick in and the LED's stay on initializing video interface.
    After work today it took about 20 reboots to get it on. You can still input keyboard commands when it seems to halt, i shall describe:
    if you press 'del to enter setup' you get loading setup... (doesnt enter BIOS screen)
    or
    press 'f11 to load [something]'... (doesnt enter BIOS screen)
    The only other information I can give is a three letter/digit code on the bottom right of screen.
    I seem to have ruled out overclocking and BIOS versions as they still happen now I have controlled the factors (changed BIOS' and default non-overclock settings).
    This used to be very infrequent however is every time I boot up now. Like you say some hardware is failing, whether its a cable, psu or other component I just do not know... 
    * also it seems to be happening to other users who have completely different hardware to me

  • Bios issues with k8n neo2, turn of memory test, and dmi pool data

    Hey guys.
    I recently flashed my bios to the 1.9's for the K8n neo2 running in my main machine.
    Everything went ok for the most part, though i had some issues with boot record, and boot.cfg file.  That stuff is all worked out now.
    However, with this bios, I constantly get the extended memory test, on my 2 gigs of ram.  The old bios i had, 1.4's, didnt do that.  Is there an option to turn that off?  I cant seem to find it any where?
    My 2nd question is this, after this bios upgrade, my verifying dmi pool data takes longer then it used to, if it even did it before, im not sure, because my boot sequence was much faster.
    How can I get rid of the "verifying dmi pool data" or speed it up?
    Thanks guys

    Tried to used the Bios 1c by Syar's. His bios is nice and easy. Maybe bould solve your problem.BTW do used liveupdate to flashed your Bios or is it manual? Stay away from using liveupdate as it causing a lot problems. Manual is the best way. Refer to my sig for the manual flashing. Here's the location of the files for the Bios 1C. Gd luck.

  • In testing 9 and X, "Compare Docs" we have a critical issue and really need help!

    For years we have used Acrobat 7 to do PDF compares and we love it!  However, the company recently advised we must upgrade to 9 and then eventually to X.  In testing 9 and X, Compare Docs we have a critical issue and really need help.  Our PDFs are produced by IT in a batch process and one of our main, critical functions is to compare previous PDFs to current PDFs;  however, in using 9 the Compare screen automatically sets the Doc Description for our PDFs to "Scanned Doc" and does not produce any differences! If you try to change the setting to Reports --it totally shuts down both documents without running!  Version 7 runs the compare of the same PDFs  beautifully, pointing out all the differences, as usual!  Has this every happen to anyone?  Do you know what we can do to our PDFs to allow version 9 to do the compare and produce results?  Why is 9 treating these non-scanned PDF docs as such?  Thanks so much for any help or insight you can give me on this issue!

  • Core and memory clocks freeze after gamestream need help

    hi everyone need help with this as i dont know whether my card is faulty and msi support keeps giving me an error when i ask a question. when i start gamestream  my core clocks go to 1113.5 and memory gose to 1502.3. when i exit gamestream the clocks stay at these speeds until i reset or remove the device from device manager and re enable it or i can stop the gamestream service in task manager. ive been in touch with nvidia and they cant replicate the error ive tried the card in three different computers using clean installs of both windows 8.1 and windows 7 driving me mad as the card idles at 48c while this is happening i have a msi gtx 970 gaming 4g latest bios everything stock anybody else have this problem. thanks in advance

    what video drivers versions you have tried?
    if i understood well, after you close gamestream, the VGA keeps its clock to load one and do not reduce the clocks to idle,
    is this correct?
    have you wanted longer period of time?
    do you use dual/multiple display config or just single display?

  • Fans full speed and LCD temp sensor issue

    Hi
    So... Last week I replaced my internal iMac (mid 2010) HDD with an SSD. I knew that there would be the fan problem but I just shorted the HDD temp cable infact the HDD iMac runs on about 1000 rpm. The problem is that the CPU and Optical Drive fans run at about 4000 rpm! I googled my problem and I realized that those two fans are not related to the HDD temp sensor cable (RIGHT? ) . But when I removed the LCD panel of the iMac I accidentaly damaged the LCD temp sensor. So now I think that the CPU and OD fans are related to the LCD Temp Sensor.. Replacing it I should have all my problems solved.. Does it make sense? Thank you guys for your answers.
    P.S. I resetted SMC and all the other stuff..!

    Bring it in for service.  If you feel you damaged a sensor, you could have damaged more.  Best to have a trained eye make sure nothing else is bad.

  • Difficulty with CJC using on board temp sensor - SCB-68

    I am trying to do Cold Junction Compensation using the built in temperature sensor on my SCB-68 connector block.  I am using the 6224 M Series PCI DAQ card.  I am having two problems:
    1.  I found a procedure on this forum for reading the temperature sensor which, in my case, is at channel 16.  So, I have my connector block switches set so the Temp sensor is enabled, and I am in differential mode.  I created a global channel called "TempSensor" and set it to channel 16.  I applied a scaling of m = 180 and b = 32 to get farenheit.  When I do this, and I test the channel, it reads a temperature of 75 degrees.  This seems a little hot for my office, which is probably more like 68 degrees.  Any idea what might be wrong?  I don't have to connect anything to the board to read the temp sensor, do I?
    2.  I've connected a type T thermocouple to channels 20 and 28 (differential).  For CJC, I can set it manually by estimating the temperature in my office as 68 degrees and puting that value in the CJC Source Constant field.  When I do this, the TC seems to work great.  It reads around 68 degrees in my office, and more like 85 if I squeeze it between my hands.  So, now I want to use the "TempSensor" global channel to do my cold junction compensation automatically.  When I select my CJC Source as "Channel" and enter "TempSensor," I run the test and get temperatures of 176 degees F.  What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks for any help!
    Kevin

    Dear Kevin,
    There is a really easy way to test your thermocouple using the Built-In CJC of the SCB-68. The only time I set up a global channel for the CJC is to make sure that it is working correctly. The CJC temp does not indicate the temperature of your office, it indicates the temperature of the SCB-68 board. My CJC value is 2 degrees warmer than the room temperature. 75 degrees is a reasonable temperature to get.
    After you check the CJC to make sure that it is working, you can set up the task in the Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX). Expand Devices and Interfaces>>NI-DAQmx Devices. Right click on your device and select Properties. Click on the Accessory Tab and add the SCB-68 to the second connector and click Configure. Check the box for Reference Temperature Enabled. Click the two OKs to save your changes. Then create your thermocouple task normally and select your CJC source as Built-In.
    Now, it will detect temperature changes that you add. Please let me know if you have any questions. Have a great day!
    Sincerely,
    Marni S.

  • HDD temp sensor

    Can anyone tell me how to tell if my HDD temp sensor
    is connected, or if it's connected correctly, or anything
    would Help.
    I've connected a new SSD and HDD in my late 2009 iMac 27,
    everything seems to be working OK, I just want to make susure this HDD
    temp sensor is hooked up right before I put the LCD. and glass back on.
    I'm using an external monitor to test everything as I go.
    I've installed iStat pro and it says the SSD is 0 degrees,and the
    HDD is 25 degrees.  This doesn't make sense to me.
    The HDD has what looks like a .1 connector with a double row
    of 4 pins.  And my temp sensor cable has a similar female coconnector with
    only 3 pins per row, with the 2 sensor wires connected in the center.
    So I can swap this around 4 different ways.  But I don't know how to
    to tell when it's right.
    Anyhelp thanks.
    BTW, the fans are 3900 for the optical, and 1000 or so for ththe other two.
    I'm using OS X 10.8

    I should also note that I have reset the PRAM and SMC to no avail. Also the system seems to have totally crashed and now if I try to boot from the SSD, I get the prohibited sign, but it will boot from the recovery partition. Running Disk Utility on the SSD from the recovery partition gives no errors.

  • Cpu temp sensor burned

    Hello all,
    K7T 6330 V.3 with 1.3 Athlon
    I recently changed my HSF to a presumably better unit than the one that came with teh CPU.
    It ended up not cooling any better but running a bit hotter.
    I removed all of the components I no longer used (old NIC, bad CDROM) to help air flow but after a few reboots to test the temp I smelt burning plastic.
    I found that the CPU temp sensor inside the CPU socket was burned and now I only get red LEDs. The CPU and socket look fine. No debris of burn marks.
    Anyway, if the sensor is burned to make an open circuit or shorted somehow, would this completely kill the mobo?
    I mean, if ONLY the temp sensor circuit was fried, would this prevent the entire board from functioning?
    thanks,
    js

    Yeah. Sorry if I wasn't clear on that part. The CPU definitely scorched the sensor. I may have inadvertantly pulled it up a little when replacing the CPU, only way it could have happened.
    thanks,
    js

    Hello everyone..
    I come here to see if anyone can help me... Ive done it all and nothing is working.
    I just recently started having problems with my computer, im not sure why this happend but ill try to explain everything as best as I can.
    The problem started a few days ago while I was playing SWG's. I was playing and all of a sudden my machine froze, the screen locked-up and then after about 2 min the entire system restarted. I then logged back into my windows and after a while a system froze and restarted yet again. I though it was a SWGs issue but then the computer would freeze while browsing the net and doing other tasks.
    I have formated my machine, re-installed my drivers, and re-installed the hardward. Nothing has worked.
    My computer specs are
    300watt PSU Enermax True Power
    MSI K7n2 nforce2 8xagp mobo
    athon 1700xp
    512mb of Kingmax DDR 2700
    SB audigy x-gamer sound card
    MSI geforce4 ti 4200 8xAGP graphics card
    Hope thats enough..
    One last thing... When my computer restarts after the problem i get a message asking me to report the problem to microsoft... i located the error file and this is what was writen in it....

    If what you are saying, and I am reading correctly:
    The machine and game was working just peachy and all of a sudden the problem manifested itself?
    Did you do ANYTHING to change your system prior to this happening to possibly have an effect?
    the fast that you said you have re-loaded the OS and removed and re-installed the hardware with the same result tells me that there may be some sort of hardware failure and this could get difficult to troubleshoot.
    First things first, try a memory testing software like memtest86 to see if you get any errors.
