Memory Question
Replies: 5 | Post Date: 01-31-2004, 02:42 AM | User: Torvalds | Forums: hardforum.comI just bought some new corsair memory and now im worried that its not exactly the same as my other 512mb stick. Both are corsair and both are pc3200 but im not sure that the memory timings are the same for both. The two sticks look different but both are cmx512-3200ll. If one is slightly faster than the other will i be screwing things up, or causing any kinda trouble?

Usb Memory Disk As Paging File For Virtual Memory On Windows
I want to know your opinion about usb memory disk as a paging file for windows virtual memory. I am trying to set paging file on usb memory disk, but it is looks windows don't like it and simply ignore it and create paging file on my c: drive. It is looks like paging file is created on usb memory disk, but when i check, there is no swap file on usb memory disk. The usb memory disk still empty. Anyone have experience on it?

Test All Memory Of Memory Above 1mb Using Virtual 8086 Mode
I reinstalled windows last night, and reinstalled a bunch of programs. Then i went to bed and when i woke up, i restarted the machine, and it wouldn't turn on.initially i got beep codes which were 1 long (a couple of times), this is a phoenix bios. My motherboard has one of those lcd screens that tell you error codes. When i looked it up in the manual, it says:
Test all memory of memory above 1mb using virtual 8086 mode, page mode and clear the memory
Not sure what this means specifically. I'm going to run memtest, but wanted to know if anyone could clarify the above message for me.

Use Usb Flash Memory As Virtual Memory
Before buying flash memory i have a few questions that i would like to ask:i have xp pro is it possible to use flash memory for virtual memory? I am thinking of installing unbutu or opensolaris can they be bootable and contained on flash memory? Any recommendations for size and product would be appreciated.

Error where the task bar tends to disappear, icons are out of place, and then windows won't open any new programs. It says lack of memory try closing more programs yatta yatta yatta. I am running 4gb of ram on my desktop and run into these errors once in a while. I just wanted to know if i was the only person.

Difference Between Ecc Memory And Non Ecc Memory
I have a dual pii that i am trying to resurrect. The manual says that it requires ecc memory. What happens if i don't put ecc memory in it? Will it blow up? I am going to use the pii to surf, do word processing, and do simple tasks but would also like to leave it on 24/7 to serve as an answering machine and to receive faxes, as well as to let my access data through the internet from other computers.

What Type Memory ?
I have an old computer from 2003. I want to upgrade my memory so i did a memory test and it says i have 256mb of sdram ddr. So i went online to search for that type of memory, there are 240 and 184 pin memory sticks, not sure which one to buy?
2nd question. Suppose all components of a computer require 400 watts. If you use a 600 watt power supply, would that damage the computer? What i'm asking is, can you use a much higher power supply if you are building a computer in case you need more wattage for further upgrades later on?

Type Of Memory
I have a notebook that has memory of sdram (screen shot attached). I wanted to know whether or not a memory chip ( sodimm, 16x8 pc100/66 ) would be compatible with my motherboard. I have no clue what the two types of memory are, and would appreciate any help that i can get.

Dumping Memory
I built my first pc (with your help) a few months ago and its been working fine since then. I've only been using it for gaming currently and havn't even had it hooked up to the net but a few days ago problems started. My longterm method of resolving those problems was to wipe the harddrive. I did a slow format today and re-installed windows. Everything was going fine until the blue screen of death appeared saying:
"Page_fault_in_nonpaged_area
Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation ask your soft/hardware manufacturer for any windows updates you might need. If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable bios memory option such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use safe mode then . Blah blah blah. Tech info ***stop0x00000050 (0xa63eded4, 0x00000001) etc
Beginning dump of physical memory
Physical memory dump complete"
At this point, i cry. Its done this a few times. Prior to doing the full format a rundll error kept popping up saying there was an error loading streamci.dll, specified module could not be found. I can't understand how this could be a software issue because i've done a full wipe. But if it is hardware then what?

Bad Memory
I recently just bought some ram. Its a 512 mb stick made by corsair. I have installed it right but when i check it (right click on 'my computer') it says the physical memory is only 468 mb. Is this a bad stick of ram?

Memory Errors
Around a year ago i moved from my first computer ever (got it about 6 years ago), to my second, which was a major change since this one is built by me. I was ecstatic, and got a q6600, a gigabyte ga-p35-ds3, an 8800gt 512, an antec 900, 4gb ocz 800 ram, and a hiper 580w psu. Soon after buying these components, memory errors started showing up, so i returned the memory for some slightly different memory (nvidia sli ocz 800 4gb). This started to get errors also, so i returned that too, and got 4gb of ocz hpc reaper 800. Just recently, soon after moving into a cosmos 1000, every os that i am running (vista home premium and win 7 beta), has had the "host process for windows has closed", and the past couple of days, half life 2 and garrys mod have been crashing repeatedly, and randomly. Just yesterday x3:reunion crashed while i was playing, so i dropped dropped to windows, only to be greeted with "a plug and play device has terminated unexpectedly" (or something along those lines), and windows restarted. However, during the boot, it blue-screened with "memory management" as the cause. I have checked for viruses several times and have come up clean, and i have reinstalled windows cleanly. I was running a very stable overclock at 3. 00ghz with the memory at 800mhz/1. 8v (rated at 800mhz/2. 1v) and now i only have slight stability at standard (2. 4ghz/800mhz/1. 8v) and the memory is running much hotter than before (x3 crashed at standard clocks). So, after that long winded explanation, my question is this: what are the chances that it is my motherboard at fault? If so, which would be a good replacement?

Memory Oc Error
Ok its a long story but ill try to make this short, i've had this system overclocked and fully stable for atleast 6 months, then one day i decided to back down my overclock, when i restarted i got a bsod, i went back in bios, relaxed ram timings, and what do u know another bsod, back in bios lowered ram divder, reboot crash, i finally set all the settings at stock, guess what bsod, at this point i was scratching my head, i made more changes in bios, left all ram settings at auto, and cpu settings set at manual, it worked, i ran a few games and such everything seemed fine, so i figured even the the system was fine at stock, i wanted to get to the root of the problem, so i began overclocking at small margins 10fsb at a time, 210fsb i hit a wall, bsod, i knew something was wrong tried one stick of ram at a time, i realized one stick was bad, and the other i can overclocked it too 281fsb with ease, now silly me i went out and bought another ocz 2gb kit of ram, put them in left all settings at auto, so try to overclock everything was fine my system seemed like it was running normal, now this is were is gets totally weird, i decided to change the ram timings and such, reboot bsod, now after playing around with all these settings for hours on end, i finally some what know what the problem might be, i can set my ram timings at 5. 5. 5. 15 2t no problems there, its the other ram settings that if i change them from auto to manual, then the system still crashes, p. S. I tried this motherboard, ram cpu, with a different psu, hardrive etc, still same result, only thing i haven't tried was swamping cpu's, even that i cant do my m2n-sli deluxe doesnt support the phenom ii's, my guess it has to be one of the two things motherboard, or built memory controller in cpu is fried.

Memory Speed
Allright, so my memory runs @ 266 mhz and i don't have the option of setting it higher, when i know my board can do 400 mhz. Is this cause of my cpu being sorta old? I had first gotten this cpu with rambus memory, but i recently changed it to ddr, cuz getting a new board ans ddr ram was cheaper then upgrading from 256 to 512 mb of ram.

Memory Voltages
I've never messed with memory voltages. I just received new memory for my computer. It's some ocz ddr2 gaming memory. If you need the model #, i can get that. On the sticker on the modules, it mentiones 2. 20v. When i go into bios, it's set to auto and i can see 1. 85v next to it. Do i need to manually set the memory voltage to 2. 20v, or do i leave it as auto?
I don't want to mess up these modules, so figured i'd ask here first. Wasn't sure if leaving it at 1. 85v would work enough to get me into windows. (I'm going to reinstall windows, but within windows, i have an application that came with my motherboard that allows me to adjust bios config options and will tell me if it's too high and such).

Cause Of A Memory Dump
Onec every 2 or 3weeks on boot up, as soon as i click on a program (ie7, word, etc), my computer would spontaneously reset (click, beep, black screen then reset)
When it turns back on it's fine for another 2-3wks. I don't have the blue screen turned on to tell me the error (though i should), but what is the most common cause of these sporatic reset?

Memory Bandwidth
Is latency directly correlated to bandwidth? If you have tighter timings, then your bandwidth is higher? Or is that also a function of memory speed? If someone could give me the breakdown of it all, that'd be great!

Detect 2 Different Speed Memory
I have 1 x 512 pc2700 ddr ram in slot 1, i have 1 x 256 pc3200 ddr ram in slot 2. It is only picking up the 512 meg chip. Is there anyway to make them both be detected, i.e make the 3200 chip run at 2700?

Memory Dump Error
I've had my computer for a year and everything has gone pretty well. There is a problem though, it usually happens while i'm using the program vegas video 5. 0. I have 1gb of ram (2 512mb sticks), and i believe that is plenty to be able to render a video and talk on ventrilo (a voice comm. Program) at the same time, but my computer believes otherwise. Whenever i try to do this my computer will get a blue screen talking about a "memory dump error" or something like that, then i have to restart my computer and everything is back to normal. This doesn't only happen with these 2 programs, it sometimes happens when i try to open 3+ programs at the same time (ex: talking on aim, having mirc open, talking on vent, and then opening up a video file at the same time). I'm pretty sure that my ram could be corrupt or something, and i was wondering what you guys thought or how you think i could fix it?

Whenever i try to do this my computer will get a blue screen talking about a "memory dump error" or something like that, then i have to restart my computer and everything is back to normal. This doesn't only happen with these 2 programs, it sometimes happens when i try to open 3+ programs at the same time (ex: talking on aim, having mirc open, talking on vent, and then opening up a video file at the same time). I'm pretty sure that my ram could be corrupt or something, and i was wondering what you guys thought or how you think i could fix it?

Erasing Flash Memory
A bit of a question here about erasing flash vs magnetic storage. I know that when i delete a file, be it on hard disk or flash drive, that the file isn't actually erased but is just not listed in the file system anymore, so it can't be accessed without using a restorer-type application. So the only way to actually erase the file is to overwrite it. Now on magnetic storage (hard/floppy disk etc) i know it is possible for experts to get some of the data back if it is not erased enough times, hence why some programs suggest overwriting 35 times etc. My question is whether this is the same with flash memory? Is overwriting a file just once enough on flash memory, or, as with magnetic, is it still possible to recover some data?

Memory Could Not Be Read Error
I am having trouble playing all games. With any source game or hl2 i am getting either "the instruction at 0x# referenced memory at 0x#. The memory could not be 'read" error or the hole system will freeze with looping sounds. Sometimes while just browsing the web the hole system will just freeze. When i am playing bf2 the game will crash to the desktop. When i turned off the vpu recover feature the game would go black screen for a few seconds then go back to the game. While playing diablo 2 my system will freeze with looping sounds. I dont think this is a heat issue (but it could be) because i removed the side panel off my comp and put a little fan. I am using the new catalyst drivers. Any help would be appreciated.

Memory, Processor Upgrade
I'm upgrading one of the computers memory here, mainly used to photoretouching with adobe photoshop. Current configuration is: pentiumiv 1. 5ghz, 256mb memory and 40gb hard-disk. The upgrade will boost memory from 256mb to 1gb, and i'm thinking if i should upgrade the processor as well. Will it be such a noticeable difference, or just the memory upgrade is enough?

Added Memory No Display
I added memory to the computer a sony pcvr538ds system. When i apply power to the system, the fans come on, the led lights blink on the dvd rom drive and the cd-rw drive and the main hard drive sounds like it makes a short attempt at starting up and or accessing something. After that there is no more activity. There is no display at all (the monitor behaves as though it was not connected to a computer). The power button on the front of the case has no affect. The fans and leds come on as soon as external power is applied to the system. Pressing the power button does not reset or shut down the power. The hard drive access light comes on when power is applied and stays on all of the time. The computer does not emit any beeps and so there are no post beep codes that can be interpreted. I removed the added memory stick. I have tried to boot from a floppy and from a cdrom but it makes no difference. The results are the same. I have checked all of the external connections. I have checked all of the connections between the power supply and each of the devices. What do i do next to try to troubleshoot this problem?

Memory Card Types
My girlie has a kodak cx7330 digital camera, and i want to grab her a memory card for it as a belated christmas present. I looked it up on the kodak website, and it says the camera takes sd cards. That means nothing to me. Aren't there a bunch of different types of memory cards? I know i've heard of "compact flash" quite a bit. I just need a little help sorting this all out. I don't want to buy her the wrong type of card.
