Administrators Bronxteck Posted May 11, 2013 Administrators Share Posted May 11, 2013 try reseating the ram.... it might have dust on the contacts or there not sitting correctly make sure the locking tabs are in the correct position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dziwei Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 thanks, after several failed boots I got it to load os x. i will re-seat the ram next and see if that helps any, restart, shut down, boot are all still very slow and glitchy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted May 11, 2013 Administrators Share Posted May 11, 2013 re run EDP and build for your model again. just incase something did not transfer well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted May 11, 2013 Administrators Share Posted May 11, 2013 Having done RAM upgrades on several existing/running SL/L/ML installations, I can tell that they've always gone straight through, just as they would with Windows. Maybe your new modules are faulty, badly seated or of the wrong type. What did you put in? A RAM upgrade is normally completely transparent and without side effects. Does your D830 show the full 4GB in the BIOS Ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dziwei Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 Yeah, that is what I was expecting... I got some decent sticks (Crucial PC2 DDR2 CL5) so maybe I should check them on the Windows side next, Dell diagnostics passed them without error. Also: after rerunning EDP the restart was super slow again... it doesn't seem to like to restart, shut down and power on is more reliable. it often goes to black screen or grey screen when I try Restart. I think I may need a few more tweaks to get it to boot straight thru, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dziwei Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 Actually haven't had much time to research the correct tweaks I could try in Chameleon Wizard but several reboots later it is running pretty normal again and boot takes a reasonable 1:40... tnx again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
