[ubuntu] GSkill RAM issue

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – I've all of the sudden been having problems with my RAM in Ubuntu. I'm using two GSkill 2GB sticks. In post it reads the memory at 4GB, but when I look through my system information in Ubuntu, it's only reading it as 2.5GB. Is there some sort of configuration I'm missing? or a patch of some sort for this issue? I've contacted Gigabyte (which is my motherboard) about this, and they said since it's coming up in post as 4GB, there's nothing they can do to help me. Any help or insight would be appreciated.

Stories similar to [ubuntu] GSkill RAM issue

The operating system in question is Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy, kernel 2.6.24, desktop environment Gnome 2.22.3. Ive got it on an LTSP server and the thing is getting kind of old so I wanted to upgrade memory to try and squeeze a little life out of it. The server physically has 6GB of memory installed, there are 6x 1G sticks with two empty slots.

Hi,

I have an old ish Compaq Evo running Ubuntu 9, everything's fine. I want the machine to do more than it currently does so figured I'd put some more RAM in. Opened it up and it's currently running on 128mb of PC100 SDRAM. I find my big bag of RAM and have two 256mb sticks... PC133. Perfect I think. Now, here's the issue:

[ubuntu] RAM compatibility. 3 years 32 weeks ago

Hi All.

I just wanted to ask if anyone knew of any compatibility issues using Gskill memory with Linux (particularly Ubuntu).

Thanks.

Hello all. I downloaded the 64-bit Ubuntu 12.10 .iso, and both burned it to a DVD, and copied it onto a 16 GB USB thumbstick using the startup disk creator on my ubuntu 12.10 laptop. I then tried to install it on a new computer I just built, with a Gigabyte 78LMT-S2P motherboard on it.

Ok so my problem is that Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit does not like multiple DIMMs of ram. I have two sticks of 2GB ddr3 ram, and both work fine, I have switched one out for the other to see if it was faulty RAM, but it isnt. A summary of the issue is ubuntu wont let me use multiple DIMMs at once.

So I have a Lenovo ideapad s405 that came with Windows 8 and uefi. I now have it dual booting with win 8 and Ubuntu 12.10. Only issue Im running into and I cannot resolve for the life of me is making the screen brighter in Ubuntu. When I boot into Win 8 the screen is very bright. When I boot into Ubuntu it is very dim even though the brightness setting is all the way up.

Unix sort out of memory 9 weeks 6 days ago

I'm sorting a 25 GB file containing 200M lines using:

sort -S 10G -T /bigdisk bigfile

and I am getting process killed due to no memory. The process isn't maxing out my RAM before death (12 GB free) and disk space is ok.

Any suggestions as to the cause appreciated. I'm sure sort can manage this due to its partitioning and merge.

Good Evening, and thank you for reading this post.

I am having a problem with Django after migrating the dB from SQLlite to MySQL. Initially, for the first 48hours, all ran well. But now we are experiencing high cpu about every 30 minutes. This is a production ESX4i VM host, with 2 x 2.8 ghz CPUs and 12 GB ram. I have allocated 4 cpu's to this VM and 4 GB memory.

I'm trying to troubleshoot a memory-related problem on a new computer. I've mixed two brands of identically-specified memories, placed on independent memory channels on the motherboard. The computer is frequently failing to POST after hibernating and I am trying to troubleshoot the source of the error. Could the operating system be playing a part; does Ubuntu have hibernation issues?
