X58 Pro-E - Added memory and having problems.

Good evening.
My original setup was:
MSI X58 Pro-E, running V8.14 BIOS (think it's listed as 8.E on MSI site)
i7 920
6GB (3x2GB) of A-Data DDR3 1333 (Part number HY63I1B16)
eVGA GTX 285
Win 7 64bit Ultimate
I tried to find the exact brand/model of memory to add, but was unable. I ended up buying this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211451
I installed the memory and BIOS saw it all. Windows started up fine, reports 12GB, but the 2nd night after installing the memory, I got a bluescreen. I went ahead and ran memtest86, which reported several errors.
I took quick pic of memtest86 showing several errors here:
Before I RMA the memory, I wanted to make sure it isn't a configuration issue, rather than just bad memory.
Here's a pic of the memory tab from CPU-Z:
SPD tab (slot #1 "old" memory):
SPD tab (slot #2 "new" memory):
And here's a pic from SIW's memory tab:
What do you think? Bad memory or configuration issue? Thanks for your time.

The mixed config is not ideal. You may want to try however to set it all manually in the BIOS and see if you are able to get it to work.
Disable XMP in the BIOS.
Set your mem ratio so that your mem speed is at 1066. Set your timings manually to 9.9.9.25 or 8.8.8.22 and test.

Try here:

Usually deleting the iPod Photo Cache Folder works. Note that if you sync via the folder method, make sure you dlete all the ifolders since :
The iPod Photo Cache stores the photos that are optimized for display on your iPod, iPad, or iPhone. The location of this folder depends on the syncing options you select. In iTunes, if you change the selection in the “Sync Photos From” pop-up menu, a new iPod Photo Cache folder will be created (and the previous folder will remain).

As Retired Engineer indicated, you will need to install Snow Leopard first. After you install Snow Leopard, you need to go into Software Update and perform the updates. 10.6.6 will install the App Store. You should continue to update to 10.6.8 before purchasing and installing Lion from the App Store.
Be sure your machine meets the minimum requirements. Basically, any Mac with a Core 2 Duo processor or later and at least 2GB of RAM (but 4 is highly recommended). If you have a first generation MacBook Pro with a Core Duo, you will not be able to upgrade to Lion.

I have a mid 2010 macbook pro with 4GB memory and need to purchase an additional 4 GB. Do I need to purchase 8GB of memory to upgrade or can a 4GB upgrade be placed next to the existing memory?

You need to purchase 8 GBs as two 4 GB modules. Must meet these requirments:
Maximum Memory
8.0 GB
Memory Slots

I have bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 last August 2013 and having problems with installing it on Windows 8.1. Why am I having this problem?

You can check you Adobe account online to see if the serial number is registered under your account. If not then your only option will likely be to contact Adobe Support directly thru chat to see if they can provide you with a/the serial number. For them to do so will require you being able to prove ownership.

Just purchased Wndows Vista and having problems with the port for Palm 125

I just purchased a Windows Vista computer and having problems with getting my Palm 125 to sync with the desktop. I get an error message saying: "Com1 not available" What do I do?
Thanks,

Sorry, that didn't work. I get no drop down menu from the Hot Sync Manager for the Serial Port. What comes up often is: "The selected port, COM1, is not available at this time. Hot Sync Manager will open the port when it becomes available."
Could it be the Norton Antivirus Firewall that is preventing the Hot Sync Manager to open the Serial Port? Just a thought. Thanks for your help.

X58 Pro - Board or memory bad?

Hello all... Long time MSI user going back to a 6163 Pro w/300a@600! Those were the days . Current set up is an X58 Pro (purchased March '09), i7 920 2.6GHz not o/c, 6GB Corsair XMS3 DDR3@1333, Corsair TX650w p/s, ATI 4550HD video card. Not a gamer, mainly use the machine for the usual + HTPC.
Recently getting an error at boot up in RED about my previous overclocking attempt has failed and default values have been applied. Hmmm, Like I mentioned, I have not ever o/c'd the machine so puzzled as to why I was receiving this error. I go into the BIOS and reset everything and it seems to run fine for a while and then get the same error again, reset everything, runs fine for a while and the process repeats.
One of my hard drives recently failed as well. A 2TB Western Digital with all my movie files . RMA'd it and received another from WD. After installing the new drive and trying to start the computer, it tries to start, lights up for a dew seconds and then turns off. Tries to start again by itself and turns off again. I couldn't get the machine to boot, even after clearing the CMOS with the power disconnected and battery removed.
Thinking it may be a memory problem, I've been testing the memory w/memtest per the MSI USB Flash tool and have found that when all three sticks are installed the machine will not boot. It tries to start, lights up and then turns off, lights up again for a few seconds and turns off. No beep errors sound. So I tried each stick individually in the first black slot A0. One stick will allow the machine to boot and runs memtest with the memory @1333 w/no errors. One will allow the machine to boot but memtest locks up w/the stick @1333. If I restart the machine it will boot and run memtest @1066 w/no errors. The third stick won't let the machine boot at all and just goes through the start/stop loop.
I'm guessing the memory is to blame, so I've RMA'd all three sticks w/Corsair. Hope to receive the replacements soon and hopefully that cures my problem. Am I on the right track or do you think the board has problems as well? Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions...

You followed the right process in terms of testing the memory and I supect one of those modules is the culprit.
The mem controller of that CPU natively supports 1066 and I would suggest that when you do get the new memory, that you manually set it to run at 1066. Some mem controllers will accommodate 1333, while others may want increased voltage to do that.

Just one more thing - the description of what i did while first Kernel appeared:
Happened 2 days ago. Wasn't turning it off for like a day, only sleep mode by closing it. Worked fine all day, wasn't doing anything, except for checking mail 2-3 times and having windows 7 virtual machine opened but doing nothing, everything was going fine. Then closed it without turning off.
Opened 3-4 hours later, everything was working fine for 30 minutes of checking mail, then Kernel appeared. After that pretty much everything i did is described in part 1-5.
Note: all the time MBP was connected to internet via wifi, so updates to both MBP and virtual machine of all programs were possible.
I only shared downloads and desktop folders, so windows couldn't have access to system folder of Mac Os.
Hope this might help...Thanks again.

MBP 2011 died and having problems reinstalling Mac OS

Hello,
Having problems trying to make my MBP start working again...
Tech info:
Early 2011 MBP, 10.6.6 preinstalled Mac OS X
2.3GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7
8GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x4GB
256GB Solid State Drive
SuperDrive 8x (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
MacBook Pro 17-inch Hi-Resolution Antiglare Widescreen Display
Was full updated up to date 3-4 days ago, so probably it was 10.6.7 before the crash.
I am pretty new to Macs and english is not my first language, so please excuse me if i use wrong terminology. Thanks.
It is pretty long story, the problem is - i can not install Mac OS X and make it work. The at the moment description of the situation is in Part 6, so you might want to skip parts 1-5, although reading those might be needed to understand the source of the problem or some details.
The Story:
Everything worked great for about a month but then multi-language kernel panic windows asking me to reboot computer poped up. Reboot didnt help and it kept asking me for more and more reboots after like 1 minute after it logs in into Mac Os.
I had 3 programms(among others) installed: Kaspersky(fully updated trial), Parallels(activated a month age oem version, runing Windows 7 as a virtual machine without using Bootcamp) and virtualbox(activated 2 weeks ago, not being used or opened for ~10 days).
Part 1 - After logging into Mac OS 2 messages always pop'ed up:
1) Kaspersky couldnt lunch in previous Mac OS startup(not current)
2) Parallels message: Its time to choose either to use trial Parallels or to enter activation key. Thats really weird because it was activated a month ago, was fully updated and worked great every day. When i tried to activate it again it just didnt accept the key which was accepted last time: the icon was still grey and not clickable, rechecked 10 times at that moment.
Ok, decided to uninstall both Kaspersky and Parallels via Safe Mode. Safe Mode is working fine. Removed programms by dragging them from application folder to trash can. Worked fine. Logged into normal mode. No messages appear except the "Hello, you had kernel last time", but still Kernel appear in 2-3 minutes. Logging in 32b mode(by pressing 32 while booting up) doesn't help either.
Part 2 - Rebooted. Booted from boot DVD and used Disk utility - nothing is wrong.
Went to safe mode again. Found Kernel Log and it showed me that the source of the error was some file of VirtualBox(at least it has virtualbox in its name. Virtualbox itself, again, wasn't launched for like 10 days) located in /extension folder. Removed virtualbox program by dragging it from applications folder to trash. Worked fine, but those files in /extension folder weren't deleted. I am pretty new to Macs, so i wasn't sure if those are really VirtualBox programm's files or Mac OS system files, so i decided to reboot and check if the problem still not fixed.
Result: You cant boot neither in normal mode or in Safe mode. It just doesnt react on anything.
No backups. Great.
Part 3. Booted via boot DVD. Worked fine. Checked if disc was ok - it wasn't ok. Tried to repair - cant repair, suggests me to reinstall.
Made a backup on external HDD(have it atm, so iа you need any info i can get from that backup to help you guys understand what happened - ask and i will give it to you asap).
Erased internal HDD with zeroes(1 row), it still has 4 files on it(around 300 mb), probably those are the files copied from Boot DVD, but i am not sure.
Part 4. Tried to install Mac OS from boot DVD. File system is for Mac os with journaled option activated. Installation process starts fine but at some point(around 25-30% while telling me its around 30 minutes left) the error message appears telling mу the installation couldn't be continued because it cant copy some files from DVD(no particullar files mentioned). Advising me to reboot and try again. Same thing happens always.
DVD disk was never used and even not unpacked before, looks fine...
Part 5. Inserted the boot DVD in another mac, made a copy via disk utility in mac os(without booting using this disc), copied it to external drive where the backup is. So there are 2 files on external drive: backup.dmg and starupDVD.dmg.
Pulled in the external hdd to MBP and tried clicking option key to choose him to boot from HDD. Nothing happens, just mouse appears without any windows where i can choose the boot option. Weird. Tried all 3 usb ports, same problem. Tried to put the DVD disk and click option key - both mouse and window appears, but only DVD boot option avaivable.
Tried to reset RAM by clicking Command-Option-P-R keys. Reset went fine(the sound and so on), but it didn't effect on anything.
Part 6(this very moment): So here i am. Have erased internal HDD with 4 files in it(around 300 mb, dont know what), boot DVD which came along with MBP with 10.6.6 MaсOS, external HDD with the same DVD and backup.
Disk utility says my internal HDD is ok.
Clicking option key doesnt make my MBP see external HDD while it is plugged in any usb port, only mouse appears. Same option key sees dvd disk if it is plugged in and boots normally.
You can see and work with external HDD if you boot from boot DVD.
Installation process starts both fine on internal and external HDDs. On internal it crashed with "cant copy files" message at ~20-30%(~30 minutes left), on external the screen just turns grey with moveable mouse on it without any messages at around 30%(~40 minutes left).
External HDD - Western Digital My Passport Essential SE 1TB USB 3.0
Internal HDD - 256gb SSD which came from Apple (sorry for calling it internal HDD)
Think its pretty much it...
What should i do to make this thing work? Pretty much desperate already.
Thank You for any help.
Sincerely yours,
Alexander.

Update to 10.6.3 and having problems returning from sleep mode

Hi,
Updated yesterday to 10.6.3 and having issues returning the laptop from sleep mode.
I close the lid and the laptop goes to sleep but when opening the laptop I just get a blank screen. I can hear the hard drive start up but nothing is displayed on the screen and the sleep light is constantly on. Have tried various combinations of key presses to get it back but nothing works. I end up powering the laptop off in the end.
Anyone else have this problem? Or know how to resolve it.
I have run daily, weekly, monthly maintenance scripts, cleared system and user cache and repaired disk permission but I'm still getting the issue. I have a Time Machine backup but it dates back a month so I'm reluctant to restore.
Cheers,
Luke

I'm having a similar problem that I may have cracked. My screen is on but the backlight is off (so the image is practically 100% on resume from hibernate. Have you reset the pram and cleared the smc?

New GPU Quadro k5200 installed and having problem with my AE, PPro CS6 not using the GPUs cuda.

Hi guys, I recently bought a workstation from BOXX tech with a new GPU Quadro k5200 installed in it.
I am having problem with my AE, PPro CS6 using the GPUs cuda.
I went to Nvidia Settings and use the specific App to select it to use GPU n- Quadro k5200. But still not working.
Please help

If you edited the Cudatextfile in the Adobe Premiere CS6 directory correctly then the acceleration should be enabled. The only way it it's not is if you have the wrong driver for that version of Adobe or did not edit the text file with the exact name of the card. You can use the GPUsniffer in that same Premiere directoy with the command prompt to see the name the GPU should be listed as. The Ray Tracer file in AE has to be edited with the same listing.

Plugin Containers hogging memory and Adobe problems

Hi,
I have regular problems with Firefox on my notebook. Firefox memory usage shoots beyond 500MB of memory and becomes extremely slow in any of the below conditions:
1) There are updates ready for some plugins: I thought it might be because I had enabled automatic updates and had made it manual. Still the same trend continues.
2) I run any Adobe application on the browser, like open a pdf from a website, run flash video either from Youtube or any other website.
3) I open about or more than 10 tabs on a single session (typical while reading news articles from feeds)
It was very problematic with FF4, but I continue to see the same trend even with version 5. When this happens, I do not have any other option but to close all the sessions of the browser and restart. Sometimes, Firefox does not go away from memory and I have to manually kill the process from task manager. There are several instances when the processor heated up so much, the fan could not handle and the notebook shutdown automatically. This happened when I had run youtube videos and after the video ended, let the browser window open for long time.
Here is the config information of my notebook:
Toshiba Portege M900, Intel Core i5 2.4Ghz quad core, Win7, virus free, with latest CA enterprise AV running.

Additional info:
The 256-color problem depends on how ActiveX'ed beans are integrated into native (VB, C++) apps.
If the development computer is configured to 256 colors, then on the runtime with 256 colors, the colors are ok.
If the development computer is configured to 16-bit colors, then on the runtime with 256 colors, the colors are wrong (dithered, ugly, wrong).
This tells me that the process where the ActiveX'ed bean is serialized to the C++ application resource file, some palette information must have been serialized out as well.
Question: what possibility is there to tell the ActiveX'ed bean or beans.ocx that it should update its palette?
A windows message? To whom, the ActiveX'ed bean, some component of it (HWND?), beans.ocx or some component of it? Sth that can be done within the bean's code?

[VIA Series] memory and usb problems

Hello...... I have the MSI PM8M-V motherboard, intel celeron 2.93 ghz processor and 256 meg kingston ram. I am upgrading about 50 pcs with this setup. On some, the system will not see any of the USB ports and on almost all of them, the system reports that I have 192 meg of ram instead of the 256. Is this a normal thing with the memory and has anyone else had the problem with the USB ports. Thanks

Quote from: Maesus on 20-December-05, 15:37:44
part of the RAM is taken by the video. That's why you only see 192MB instead of 256MB (64MB is taken by Video).
USB ports? make sure you enable them in the BIOS.
Make sure you have the Chipset Driver updated for the USB problem.
You might also check how you have the Front panel USB’s hooked up to the header on the Mobo. Make sure it is correct.

Adding memory and upgrading to Leopard on PowerBook G4

I have a PowerBook G4 with OS X Panther and am considering upgrading to Leopard. Installing Leopard requires at least 512MB of memory and I only have 256MB. I've read that PB's can be picky with the type of memory installed and I'm looking for advice on making an informed purchase.
According to my manual the maximum I can have is 1.25GB and it says I need PC2700 DDR 266 type RAM. I also read somewhere on Apple that my PB requires PC100 type RAM, so which is it, or can it actually take either one? And are the GHz a crucial factor in determining what type I need? How do I find out the GHz I have on my computer?
Also, does anyone think upgrading this computer (it's 5 years old) is worth it? It only has 23GB of space left which I know Leopard will use a lot of just to install. Would it also be worthwhile to add more hard drive space (I'm considering an external hard drive to store photos and documents to save space), or in the long run will I be better of getting a newer mac? Physically my PB is in great shape and it still looks brand new, it's just outdated, but I don't want to put a lot of money into it if it's not worth while for long term use.
Thanks for any help you can give and sorry if these questions have been answered already. I wasn't having any luck finding specific info on this.

If your PowerBook is the 867 Mhz model or 1 Ghz model it will take "a single 200-pin PC2100 DDR SDRAM SO-DIMM memory module.". If it is anything greater it will take "a single 200-pin PC2700 DDR SDRAM SO-DIMM memory module."
You can find what processor you have by clicking the Apple logo on the top left hand corner of the screen and clicking "About this mac"
Basically, 1 GB stick plus 256 mb soldered memory = 1.25 GB Max.
Is it worth it? Well, since you probably can't buy a new laptop for anything close to a Leopard/RAM upgrade I'd say it is worth it. But if you are considering RAM+External HDD+Leopard you could be well onto your way into the price range of a second hand Intel Laptop, any of which would be significantly faster than your PowerBook.
