Unstable and Random reboot or software crash with 1536 MB RAM

Let see if any of you are a good tech..
I have this MSI KT3 Ultra 333 motherboard (its almost 2 years old) with an MSI Ti4200
The motherboard is working perfectly fine.
It has TWO memory sticks of 512 MB PC2700 DDR dimms They are in slot 1 and slot 2. for a total of 1 GB
Everything is working perfectly fine until you add 1 more dimm of 512 into slot 3
When i put the third 512 MB into slot 3 (to get the 1536MB), the computer randomly reboot and softwares become unstable.
Unpluggin internal devices like DVD, extra drives doesn't fix the problem.
This is not a virus worm spyware problem either.. The issue seems to be hardware.
Dimm 1 = Kingston DDR 333 (bought 2 years ago)
Dimm 2 = No name DDR 333 ) Bought 1 year ago)
Dimm 3 = Kingston DDR 333 (earlier model bought today)
If i take out the new Dimm, everything works fine.. if i leave the new Dimm 3 everything crash or randomly reboot.
I tried swapping Dimms places but no go.
I though the new stick in slot 3 was deffect so i removed it and put it and the second computer (a compaq) which would bring that second computer to total of 1GB. passed the test.
So it doesn't seem to be the memory stick.
Why can't i add a 512 MB dimm to the MSI KT3 Ulra 333 ?
All i want to do is to have 1.5 GB of ram but im stuck at 1GB.

The thing is...
They're all the same speed according to their numbers
i.e : KVR 333 X 64 C 25 / 512
Its typical to kingston label where KVR ( kingston value ram) , 333 (333) , x?, 64, 25 (2.5) / 512 (512MB)
The second dimm is an Infineon HYB25D2566800BT-6 , but it is not listed on infineon webpage. the 256 in the serial means 256Mb dimm on their website but it gives 512MB still. I think theres a typo on infineon website.
The third dimm is also a KVR 333 2.5 / 512 (just a newer one)
Anyway, what i did is i borrowed a 512 MB dimm Samsung from a colegue and removed the Infineon.. (yes i know, but i don't have access to a third Kingston)
I moved the newer kingston from slot3 to slot 2.
Now i have 2 kingston next to each other... then i added the Samsung 512 2.5 in third slot.
I unplugged all neons to gain some power juice..
The current setup is now
Slot 1= Kingston PC2700 333 2.5 (2 years old)
Slot 2= Kingston PC2700 333 2.5 (new model)
Slot 3= Samsung PC2700 333 2.5 (sold with presario compaq that use MSI boards)
Total = 1536 MB
Im gona give it a try.
Also, each of those dimm use certain known memory chips with the serial starting with either WDxxxx or WENxxxx , it seems some of those memory manufacturers get their memory chips from the same chip manufacturers... And most motherboard manufacturers usualy have a compatibility list with those chip manufacturers...
Anyway, it's sort of a chaos industry out there.

Critical error and random reboots

I have gotten critical errors and random reboots lately =( and it really stinks.. anyone who know what the problem might be?
Is it my 40gb IDE hardrive I just put in?
And it only happens in games

How is your HD doing for heat? When my HDs started getting hot my system kept crashing and rebooting as well. My other thought is to try and uninstall, then re-install video drivers (with the latest drivers of course). There have been times when my system has crashed becasue my vid drivers were on the fritz. Anyways, those are just some of my thoughts.
and just like cultie said, check the jumpers to make sure they are on the correct master/slave pins.

Help! My original and very expensive CS6 has crashed with a simple command of selection….

Thanks JJMack,
unfortunately I'm Italian and I do not speak English, and most importantly
I'm not a genius in the world of computing. In fact, if you talks to me
about preferences folder User id and I do not even know where to look ....
why has crashed in your opinion? I was creating patterns with low
resolutions. It can if you have the time and patience to help me understand
where look the folder and what to do in a primitive language so that an
incompetent like me can understand.
Thank you in advance.
greetings
Vittorio.

Lumia 720 - Defective Audio Jack and Random Reboot...

I purchased a Lumia 720 from Amazon.com in the US. After about a month, sound was only coming from one headphone. I thought it just might have been my headphones, but then I tried them in a friends phone and they worked fine. Other headphones didn't work either unless it was over Bluetooth. I have also been experiencing freezing and random reboots. A friends factory reset it for me several times and the issues still persist.
I need to send it in for repair; I did verify that it is in-warranty.

this is mainly a user to user forum only for Nokia products and services, so we are of limited assistance to you here unfortunately. in this case, all we can do is direct you to your nearest Nokia Care location for inspection, if there is none nearby, then try contacting Nokia head office in your country of residence.

Bold 9650 with OS 6 and Random Reboots

Hi, all,
I upgraded like many of you to the latest official OS for the 9650, version 6.0.0.431. I have been experiencing random reboots, at least 4 or 5 per day. I was wondering if any of you are experiencing the same thing? Usually, random reboots are caused by some 3rd party application, but I am having a hard time figuring out which one it can be. I think it might be either Facebook or Weatherbug causing the reboot. Not sure, but wanted to get your input. If you are experiencing random reboots with this OS, let me know.

OK...Upgrade complete. No reboot's yet. But what I did notice...some of my preloaded app/icons got doubled? Any tips how to delete either one or all so they don't come back again? I had a Curve last, and everytime I "removed" something, after an update or over time, the Icon would come back. This is my third day with my new Bold
Hey,
Probably what happened on the "pushed" icons for apps is that when you reloaded your OS, you probably restored the Service Book. Then, after your device was connected to the network, it got pushed a couple of those icons again, resulting in duplicate icons. In my case, it was the icon for VCast Apps. I went into Options>Device>Advanced System Settings>Service Book and found that I did have the VCast Apps listed twice. I deleted one of those entries and one of the duplicate icons disappeared. Now, you could delete all of those pushed icons in the Service Books, but they will reappear after a few hours. The Service Book is continually updated during the day. It connects with the network, looking for updates and it will put those pushed apps back. The only solution is to hide those apps. I just made a folder called pushed apps and moved all of thosed pushed apps into that folder. I hope this helps.
By the way, no reboots since reloading my OS yesterday afternoon. That is good. I will load Opera Mini 5 Beta 2 and let it run for 24 hours and see if I get reboots.

Maverick makes system unstable. Randomly reboots

After installing Maverick operating system, my system will randomly reboot. How do I troubleshoot this?

I also have the same phone, and have had multiple problems from day one, including rebooting, although not as often as yours. I actually took it in to the local store within the two week period, when you are supposed to get your phone replaced if it isn't working correctly. The young lady told me that she couldn't get it to do what I was telling her it was doing, which was that any time I speak on this phone, to this day, unless I put it on speaker, my face presses buttons and eventually cuts off the call! In addition, my phone repeatedly blurts out, very loudly, over and over "Verizon Wireless," for no reason that I can find. It drives me crazy!! This phone also constantly simply drops calls in the middle of a conversation, even on speaker. I won't bore you with the rest of the problems that I'm having with it, because it goes on and on. I am not willing to accept a "refurbished" phone, and have called Motorola, who has offered to repair my phone if I will send it to them, but Verizon is so far not willing to loan me a phone while mine is being repaired. I thought that I was realling upgrading from my Droid X, and now I'm very, very sad that I didn't just keep it.

WIN2k, KT3 Ultra Deluxe Board, and Random Reboots

OK.
First off, let me say, the KT3 Ultra board (Deluxe) is a very, VERY nice board, and I love it with all my heart. I'm running Windows 2000 and I get great performance on games, and just all around everything.
But, for some reason, I keep getting random reboots, and I have a hunch it has to do with the 'board.
Here are my specs:
AMD Athlon XP 1600+
PNY GeForce 4 TI 4600
MSI KT3 Ultra Board (Deluxe)
512 megs of DDR RAM
Windows 2000 Professional, Service Pack 2 (all updates)
Maxtor 60 GB HD
Western Digital 60 GB HD
HP CD-ROM Drive
Genuine DVD-ROM Drive
NetGear FA310TX NIC card
SoundBlaster Live!
Any ideas, folks?

There can be a lot of reasons why you get reboots, so difficult to point to one thing that will solve it. Your PSU is big, so we can rule out lack of power.
I presume you have fiddled with the BIOS settings? What are your advanced chipset settings? In my experience lockups and reboots are caused by memory problems, so set memory to "by user" and on the slowest setings at first.
My GF4 gave reboots because the AGP slot shared IRQ11 with my networkcard. Relocating the networkcard to another PCI slot solved it. MY GF2 card didn't show this problem. So check if you have shared resources.
Take out all other cards and see if it improves the situation.
Do you have one or two memory sticks. In case of 2, try everything with one stick and also with the other to see if one of the sticks is the problem.

System unstable and requires reboot after 24 hours - HELP

I did a clean install of Leopard twice and the same issue appears. The system becomes unstable and requires a reboot. Mail doesn't function correctly and Firefox gives an error, "Another copy of Firefox is running. Only one copy can run at a time'.
The only option at this point is to reboot, however the system hangs on shutdown.

Sorry for the delay and thanks for the response. what I mean by unstable is that the system will not perform as expected. The problem seems to be growing however. It use to only occur after 24 hours of up time. Now it seems to occur after the system goes to sleep. Twice I have put the system to sleep and each time when it wakes, I can not do anything. If I click an application Firefox, Yahoo, iChat, Mail, etc it will not respond. Forcing a quit on the application does nothing. Each time I have been forced to bring the system down hard. -Any help is appreciated.

I am running xp and the last time I tried to upgrade to Firefox 5 it caused my computer to slow down become unstable and eventually my hard drive crashed.

However I do believe the hard drive had other issues that just might have been further compromised by downloading 5. Talked to a couple of others who have also had bad problems after downloading 5 and that is what really concerns me is that my problem is not isolated. I have just got my computer back up and running and am very concerned about continuing with the 5 upgrade that was automatically downloaded and will be installed the next time I start up. How do I prevent the download from installing upon start up next time until I can get some clearer info on why 5 is causing some problems and can avoid them?

My mother just had this problem. After uninstalling a bunch of search malware, i was still seeing the bing tab come up on start up. The way I fixed this is to delete any shortcuts, remove it from the task bar and the start menu list. It appears this crappy malware modified the firefox and chrome(if installed) shortcuts to open bing.
Of course another way is to modify the shortcuts to remove the link that they added. It was easier for me to remove and just re-pin.
Hopefully that solves your problem too.

SBS 2011 Standard SP1 - Randomly rebooting after svchost crash

Last week 10/22, my SBS 2011 server began restarting randomly anywhere from every 2 hours to as long as every 4 hours. In reviewing the logs, it appears that an svchost process crashes (in Application log) which surrounds ntdll.dll and then many services
crash and the System log shows a request by RPC to restart the server.
I have seen similar threads but none of them end up with a solution or viable suggestion.
No changes were made to the server on that day but since this began, I have installed all updates to drivers and the OS but no change.

Thanks in advance.

Hi ishmakov,
The PIXMA MP170 is not supported with Mac OSX v10.9, that is why you are experiencing this error.

Freeze and random reboot. HELP!

I'm going to try to keep this short as it is a long story.
Recently I reformatted my hard drive and installed Windows XP Professional. After the installation I realized that I do not have the drivers for some of the hardware. I installed all latest drivers off their webpages but only one problem. Now the computer randomly freezes (more likely to freeze if IE or Mozilla is opened) and sometimes on rare occasion will reboot itself. I've searched and checked everywhere and found only little information. Possibly the video cards driver is too new or too old, P/S, general driver defaults, etc, etc. With the help of SIW I found that the P/S and temperatures are all normal, so that can be rulled out. My questions are; Has anyone had this type of problem or know how it can be resolved? And also, could it be possible for my RAM cards to be at fault for the freezing or rebooting?
Here is my setup:
Asus Desktop
AMD Athlon 62 3200+ Processor
MSI K8N Neo MS-7030 VER. 1 Mainboard
ATI Radeon 9550 Series AGP 256M Video Card
again... O/S is Windows XP Pro

Hang in there, these problems can be very hard to diagnose. Trust me, I know. I'm having some very similar ones.
Disable automatic reboot in System Properties\Advanced\Performance\Advanced. This allows you to see the BlueScreen information before you manually reboot.
Try uninstalling all the drivers you recently installed. Install different versions of the drivers, either older or newer, one at a time. Test things thoroughly in between. Try to document exactly what you were doing and what was loaded when you have the failure. If you get a Blue Screen, write down all the information.
Post back.

Nothing happens after I tap "agree" on the "Terms and Conditions" when updating software or with iCloud, therefore I can't use iCloud nor update my software?

So what happens is that I try to accept the terms and conditions of iCloud (and by the way this annoying message keeps popping up every 2 minutes, literally, asking for my iCloud pass for an old account with a non-existent mail) or the ToC you need agree in order to update your software, I press agree and then nothing happens. It just stays there. (I can still update on my computer but I don't know what to do about iCloud)

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next try signing out and then back into Settings>iTunes and App Store

Log and transfer causes FCP to crash with long clips

Hi. I am trying to import a few 2 hour+ clips using Log and Transfer from my Sony NX5. Once the destination clip has reached approx 60GB, FCP crashes every time. There is plenty of disk space left.
I have tried trashing preferences and also changing scratch disks. I am turned off time machine. I am really worried that I wont be able to get this footage onto my machine.
Any ideas?
Thanks

In the end Clipwrap saved the day on this project.
This did happen to me again though on yet another project, where the files were around an hour long this time. In the end I got it to work, not sure the solution but tried the following:
- Selected a different easy setup (choose PAL) - this fixed the problem for a colleague of mine, even though it doesn't seem logical
- Used my internal drive as a scratch disk instead of my firewire drive (normally this is not a problem)
I haven't tried this with the really long clips, as Clipwrap saved me.
Many thanks for suggestions.

IOS 8.2 on both Iphone and Ipad rebooting. Apps Crash

I updated both my Iphone 6 and my Ipad 3 to 8.2. Now both intermittently goes black screen with white apple. Essentially rebooting throughout the day.
I also have a 5S, and not having the same issue.
Is this is "known" issue?
Please don't tell me it's the Facebook app - I don't have it installed on either phone or Ipad. Yes, really.
Thanks in advance.
