Re: Mobo Vs Ram...which 1 is the culprit ??

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 01 Oct 2010 15:29:03 GMT

further one more thing...i went thru the manual of my mobo and apparently one slot has always to be filled if i m havin more than one stick...so according to manual DIMM 0 should always be filled...
now i did this according to the manual....i installed one stick on dimm 0 as per manual and one on other slot and then again in XP i got BSOd but this tym with foll error :

Page Fault in Non Paged Area..
problem casued by Classpnp.sys

what does this indicate...a faulty ram stick..perhaps ?

but strange thing is i repeated the above config with a diff ram stick which works when alone in one of the slot...but i got beep sound with the combination

and one last thing...as per my namin convention...no matter which ram stick i put in slots c and d i always get a beep sound...and except if i install all three ram sticks then there is no beep sound but no display either

Mobo Vs Ram...which 1 is the culprit ??

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 01 Oct 2010 15:28:28 GMT

have a dg45id mobo which apparently has 4 ram slots of 2gigs 800mhz each '

lets name the 4 ram slots as a,b,c and d.

i have 2 ram sticks of transcend ddr2 800 mhz each

the prob starts here ...

1. if i install 1 ram stick in slot a or b....comp boots and works flawlessly
if i install either of these ram sticks in slot c and d....i get the beep sound and no display at all !

2.now if i install both the ram sticks in slot a and b then i get no display at all but no beep sound either

3.then if i remove my graphic card and keep the display to the onboard graphics with both the ram sticks in slots a and b.... then i do get the display but then if i boot my win 7..the comp restarts and on xp...i get BSOD with the foll error

driver_irql_not_less_or_equal

and at the bottom its wrritten

ACPI.sys_address BA77AA97 base at BA779000 Date Stamp 4117A27

i have no clue what this means ....experts pls pour in ur views...

4.Further...on the slots c and d ....if i put both the ram sticks i hear the beep sound.

5. then at times....if i keep my display on graphic card then then i dont get display most of the times...i have to remove nd reinsert the ram stick several times before i see the display...which is very frustrating..

6. on onboard graphics i get proper display as and when if i remove or add ram sticks...other than the bsod if both the ram sticks are together on slots a and b

i have run a memory diagonistics nd found no errors so far...

Now the question is what should i do....is Mobo at fault...or the graphic card...or the ram sticks

Noob ques : is it possible that i m not inserting the ram sticks properly...as far as i knw ...there is only one way in which the ram stick goes into the slot....right ?

Please put in ur views....i m gonna go 2moro to rma my mouse...pls let me knw if my mobo or ram are at fault....so that i can them along as well...

Thanx is the least i can say !!

looking forth for the solutions ...bare me for my limited knowledge

Re: Cant get Esata port to work on DG45id

yeah...that is what i suspect too...so would be confirming it in a day or two when my friend gets his laptop to my place...so that i can check the esata connection on his laptop.

btw is there anythin else i can do around while waitin for the laptop to come....u see my mobo has 6 sata ports and the sixth one is used as esata...so is there some possibility that some setting disables it....should i try ahci....? maybe ide stops the esata port from working...is that a possibility...??

Cant get Esata port to work on DG45id

I just got a new 1 tb seagate harddrive 7200.12 version....and i got an external enclosure named Sunbeamtech Airbox which has an esata and a usb port to connect the hdd with the comp externally.

The hard drive nd enclosure work flawlessly when connected thru the usb port. But when i try using the esata port...the hdd doesnt get detected at all. No signs at all...even under the esata section in the bios, it shows 'Not connected' even though i make sure that the harddrive is powered on and cables are connected properly.

When i check the further bios settings...i can see that the sata setting is set to 'ide' and all sata and esata ports are enabled. I knw that for hot swapping i need to set it to ahci but i cant do that coz i hv my os already installed. Further, even if i dont set it to ahci and let it remain to ide...my hdd should still be detected after doin a simple scan for hardware changes in the device manager...rite...if not it shuld atleast be detected after a simple reboot....but in my case it isnt detected at all...no matter what i do !!

Please advice me what to do...Does the esata board need drivers...is there any setting that i missed...??

Or is it that the enclosure/mobos esata port is dead or at fault.

Any help will be appreciated

Here is the link for the enclosure that i m using http://www.sunbeamtech.com/PRODUCTS/Airbox/Airbox-External-Enclosure.html

For info..even if i connect the usb nd esata ports together...the enclosure gives preference to esata...so even when both r connected...the esata works nd not the usb..
