Default trouble with new ram


Ortega,
I am confused:
Does your laptop have more then two memory slots?
What dim(s) do you have installed in it now?
I suspect that the boot error was caused by not having a truly matched pair
(two totally identical dims from the same manufacturer or by them being of a
higher speed then your original Dims.

I have had this error since day one. I have tested the RAM with memtest86
and
did a chkdsk. I get a boot error the first time every day I load my
computer.
Get no errors after then and after I let it site and cool down get the
same
error. Just says new hardware/software windows recommands a recovery. Do
the
recovery. nothing changes the next day. Post about his before not much
help
on it though. They are the same as what I pulled out from 512. the board
holds 2 gb. I didn't o/c. They are paired. The chips have worked fine in
other laptops of this make. I can't find a bios upgrade for the board.
Vista
did say that might be a issue. Not sure. IF anyone can help please take a
crack. If its somthing simple-to challenging. I've done it. Just looking
for
a new route.

computer
would always give me the blue screen of death, and i waited few hours and
turned it on and now it's fine. but i'm tired of the blue screen
especially
the ram is fine, i will try the ram tester, but i wanted to know if there
was something i could do to stop these errors?

memory


I am thinking they just dont like eachother even though you can get away
with it sometimes. Just didn't work for this case. CRAP. I think I'm going to
try these. THink it would work better. Not a fan of Crucial but who cares if
the computer works.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820146517
I ran so many test all passed and the computer works for every after I get
past the first error. Then if I let it cool down same error a little while
later. WOOHOO..that is the odd part.

Default trouble with new ram

well now the OP has finally web access after the factory restore, and i'm
offically in HELL, i got on my pc today WITH THE ORIGINAL RAM the two 512mb
and again i got a blue screen of death, i hope it was only a single
occurence, hopefully after doing all the updates it won't happen again.....
wow 41 updates, that'll take forever, but in general i'm happy with the
restore my computer ended up faster than before when i had the factory ram,
i installed a whole lot less too, only the necessary, i have official word
about the upgrade ram i had(the two 1gig chip), it wasn't windows fault
before the restore, as soon as i had the restore done, i put in the new ram,
and i started having trouble again, with windows barely running, so i had to
do the restore again because the installation was corrupted, but now
everything is fine except for the one BSOD or also known as BULL SH*T OF
DEATH.lol the only trouble now is i don't know what to do about my friend
who desperatly need ram, i don't know whether to get some or not, my
experience of the situation tells me no, but she really needs more ram,
quite frankly i don't understand how vista could run with only 400mb of ram.
anyone has a idea?

he would get BSODs after some period of time.

All you need is properly matched memory. Your motherboard requires it
regardless of what OS is used.

It must also be matched TO the motherboard. There is more to memory than
just size.

GREAT!!!!!! I'M IN HELL!!!!! NO MATTER WHAT I DO I'M STABBED IN THE

much as the mvp and other geeks, but still i'm not a dummy(no offense
to the dummy's lol) and i can't even get it working the way i want.

if i use 512x2, i stabbed in the back with limited memory and limited
speed,
if i use 1gbx2 i'm stabbed in the back by stupid blue screen of death
but i'm blessed with high speed,
if i use 1gbx1 and 512x1i'm stabbed in the back by slimited speed but
average amount of memory.

if the font could get bigger i'd put it at 48

if i didn't say it before I'M IN COMPUTER HELL.

BILL GATE AND MICROSOFT SHOULD BE IN HELL BY BEING FORCED TO USE A 486
OR 386, NOT ME I'M JUST THE CONSUMER. oh wait that kinda answered my
question about my i'm in hell. it's like satan he's trying to bring
everyone with him.

if linux could run most of windows programs i would switch in a sec.

ps: oh meant to say, i decided to show humility, and not call myself
"computer & sound system tech(or expert)" because even though i know a
lot, others know way much than me, so i'll just stay "sound system pro"
unofficially but officially i'll just have fun with names like daemon
or speed demon or something like this.

Well it is working but not as DDR2 ram only as normal RAM since to get
the double memory speed of DDR2 you must be using a matched pair of
DDR2 ram.

yes, it is working but slow as hell. i had better performance with
the two gig. only had a automatic reboot once during the loading of
the display, but i believe vista was having a bad day....... ps:
don't ask me to explain it..... because after this "bad day" it
hasn't made any trouble. but i'm running it in testing mode(meaning
i'm purposely keeping the ram (the one gig chip) warm by working it,
and rebooting often to see if the incident will happen again.

what i'm doing is testing both of my chip to see if i have a
defective chip, that way i could go to centon(the maker of the 1gig
chip) and tell them: "ok yes i had a problem before, and you told me
to run diagnosis which didn't find anything but i narrowed it down to
one chip being bad" hopefully i'll be able to say that, if both of
them reproduce the error then there's not much i can do.

well as i said previously it's possible i noticed that the original
ram operate at 533mhz and the new one at 667mhz, now on the label
and on the web site it says they are compatible, but i don't know
if that is the problem and unfortunatly i don't have money to get
some that are using 533mhz so i can't test it. butthe whole 2 gig
is or was being used when i had it, now i have one gig and a 512mb
on and windows is using all of it. so i don't know what the problem
is specifically.

Are you sure you bought the correct memory for your laptop as
specified in your User's manual. You possibly bought memory that
is too fast or not correct in some other specification and
therefore only one 512 dim can be used at a time.

They are obviously not a matched pair even though the specs are

what i don't understand is i bought them at the same time they
have the same maker, same model ddr2, same pc2-5300, same pin
number, same amount of memory 1gb, same speed. they are
practicaly the same except for the fact that there is two chip
instead of one. so i don't understand how they couldn't be
matched, oh and the ram that i got came with lifetime
warranty, so i dought it was budget ram, but then again i'm
not a ram knowing guy.

oh and i forgot to say this when i get the blue screen of
death it is only at the end of boot when windows is loading
the list of users, not during boot or during a session of
windows only at the end of boot. don't know if this makes a
difference.

Matched pairs, as in twins.. some trade in old memory and buy
two matching sticks, same type, speed, manufacturer. The
smaller computer outlets will do this generally.

As more performance is screwed out of x86, it becomes ever
more critical that all components are 'just so'.

Re memory, buying non matching sticks will double the memory
and it may well work. Most likely, the system will see
reduced memory performance. At worst, any gain in memory
available will be offset by spurious faults and/or BSODs.

Some memory is labeled clearly. Much of it is not, especially
budget memory. Budget memory sticks are essentially the same
as half decent memory but they have failed to maintain a
level of performance expected of 'high performance RAM.
Really high performance RAM will cost double that of budget
RAM, but high performance is guaranteed.

If you look at adverts for RAM, you will see that some is
sold in pairs. These have been tested and found to be as
close to 100% the same as is possible. One pays a premium for
this.

CPUs follow much the same pattern. Levels of performance are
set, and depending upon how reliable each CPU is will
determine whether it is a '4000+', '3800+', '3500+', 3200+',
or '3000+'.

Lower reliability levels also bring with them less chance of
over clocking a system, assuming that the mainboard is
'overclock' capable.

ok i thought you would've answered by now but it's ok, i
know life keeps us busy, i had an idea, if the problem that
i have is because they aren't paired which i can't
understand why they wouldn't be, but never researched ram
either so i'll let you tell me why, but what if instead of
having two 1gb i use my old 512mb and one 1gb would this
would or would i still have the same problem?

The fact that your memory score rose when reducing the

i can't i don't have an option for this the only thing i
can set up is how much ram to use as video memory, the
min is 32 and the max is 256, right now i have it set up
as 64mb, and it's weird because on the labelit says it's
compatible with my type of system, i guess i'll have to
call centon the maker of the ram.

You should not be surprised at all. RAM can be bad
from the beginning, or go bad due to static
electricity or other reasons. For whatever reason,
the RAM you purchased does not work properly in your
laptop.
hummm ok well it wasn't the static because i took all
the safety step(i'm A++ classes for computer repair
graduated)

Are you saying that you have had this memory for
almost 6 months with the issues you cite? Why did
you not contact the vendor as soon as the problems
appeared?

yes although it wasn't that bad at first it was just
every one and a while, but yesterday it was at a
point where i couldn't run my pc at all.

What happens if you put the original memory back in?
Do the issues disappear? That's a sure sign the new
memory is incompatible. Did the vendor give you a
compatibility guarantee? Perhaps, next time you
should consider ordering from a vendor that does
guarantee compatibility. Crucial is an example. If
you don't want to do that, at least order from a
vendor that will allow you to return the memory for
a refund - *reasonable* restocking fee if it's
incompatible.

will post back to say what happen when i downgrade
the ram, fortunatly i was smart enough to keep the
original ram

Is there any chance the issues are heat related?
When did you last disassemble the laptop to check
for crud in the cooling fan?
it might be heat but never had this problem with the
original ram, so i don't know. and this pc is brand
new there no crud or dust on the monitor or the
keyboard even less inside the comparment(i keep this
pc very clean, i got ****ed off when i saw a little
scratch.)

Run memory tests, but give memory a chance.
i did i can't see the result i ran the windows
memory diagnosis tool and the result aren't showing
the system said it would tell me, but it's not.

Ensure that it is the correct type.

i use the exact same model that my pc came with
pc2-5300 ddr2-667mhz, although i might be wrong i
believe the original came with pc2-5300
ddr2-533mhz, don't know if it makes a difference

If you are going to pair RAM, ensure that sticks
are matched.

they are the exact same thing, same maker, same
mhz, same amount (1gbx2)

If you are using budget makes, do NOT overclock
your machine.

don't know what you mean by budget makes, but yes i
got them cheap 39.99 each, and in my case i can't
overclock i'm using a laptop, which i wouldn't know
how to overclock this peticular laptop, and i have
no need to since it's fast 2.0ghz.(i know how to
overclock a computer just not this one)

The errors will keep popping up for as long as the
machine does not like the configuration installed
or if one of the RAM chips is faulty.

well if it doesn't like the configuration it will
have to though it out because all i can do is
change the order of the ram, which doesn't change
much because both of them are 1 gb, and as for the
faulty ram, it would surprise me because they are
even a year old(not even 6 month.)

If you have a floppy drive then run a DOS based memory tester,
Doc Memory Ram Diagnostic V2.2 comes to mind, from
http://www.simtester.com/
I've never trusted MS$ diagnostics to diagnose anything.
IDocMemory does a range of different walk tests to pick up obscure
faults like crosstalk between address lines, and can be
set to run a large number of cycles as a soak test.
I had boot blue screens until I killed most processes
prior to shutdown with Process Killer.
If shutdown leaves a corrupted file you may get
continuous BSOD's until you run Check Disk in Fix
Errors mode.
Once it finds and repairs crosslinked files, sorts
out orphened fragments, and the file tables, it'll
come good for a sort while.
Could be you have a hardware device like a USB
wireless stick, the drivers for which misbehave
and screw things up.

Usually a good RAM tester should take less than 2 hours. That's a real
thorough test, too.

If you can run Doc Memory or alternative RAM tester
for an hour with no errors I would assume the RAM is
not the cause of BSOD and look elsewhere for
the source of the problem.
If the memory test runs ok for an hour with no
problems it would be reasonable to assume that
the processor is also ok. This is not a 100%
proof as during memory testing the processor
probably isn't running at its full rating, but as
your BSOD is a boot time, the processor is unlikely
to have reached its maximum full load temp.
I'd look to attached hardware, USB devices, and
remove any non-essential devices.
i bought ram last month i believe, and for some
reason i'm getting the
blue screen of death sometimes not always.

Do you still get the BSOD with just the original RAM?
Some motherboards don't like some makes of RAM.
Size of the individual memory chips and their
organisation.
My motherboard manual specifies certain
restrictions for compatible RAM.
Like 'this motherboard does not support memory
modules made up of 128 Mb chips or double
sided x16 memory modules.'
