Memory problem after restore

Hi there,

Product: Acronis Trueimage Echo Enterprise Server

I have the following problem;
I have made an image of Windows 2003 Server Standard and i want to do a restore on other hardware, works fine actually. But when i add 2x 1GB to the machine (total of 4x1GB) Windows don't start anymore....progressbar is moving.

How can i fix the problem, any idea's?

Thanks in advance!

 

Since your problem seems to have started after installing more memory it might be prudent to run Memtest86+ for several hours to see if it reports errors. Note that there should be no errors reported. I have seen errors showing up after fifteen passes on some machines.
http://www.memtest.org/#downiso

You might initially try removing the newly added memory and see if the problem persists.

 

Quickest test is to pull the original 2 x 1GB sticks leaving only the new ones. If the system boots, you know the stickes are good. If not, move them to the slots of the original sticks. If the system boots, you know you have bad or dirty slots on the motherboard. If it still doesn't boot, the new ram is bad.

If the new ram runs OK alone, it may have a conflict with the old RAM. In that case four identical sticks may be what you need.

 

It's not a hardware issue. I have tried more memory sticks of 2x2GB and 4x1GB.
I thinks its a software problem, but it's very difficult to determine the cause of it.

I tried a repair of windows 2003; no result...

 

OK, so you don't want to do what I suggested. That's OK, but it makes helping out harder.

Has the system booted normally with any combination of 4GB of memory?

With 4GB of memory installed, can you enter the BIOS setup screens and see the correct memory configuration?

Can you explain what you mean by "no result" when you tried to do the Windows 2003 repair? Did the system boot normally from the Windows CD? Did you get to select the repair function? etc.

 

Hi fvriezen I see you are new to the forum and I welcome you, I just want to let you know that you have hit the "jackpot" with help from John aka. jmk94903 after spending quite sometime on this forum I have gotten to know who the knowledgeable people here are and I have found that John knows his way around a computer, stick with him and if anybody can help he would be one of them.
I have a habit of watching the post here to learn not only about TI but general knowledge about computers and there are a few people here that I always make sure to read their posts, John is one of the many.

 

Ok, i will swap the memory sticks. But when i start with WinPE, it's booting.

In the BIOS i see 4GB, so the system detects the mem. After the repair the problem is still there. Windows is loading and loading, but does not go to the grafical part (login screen). I get no error message it's just loading.

So i can do the repair with the Windows CD and i can get to safe mode.

It's a difficult problem, it seems like the acronis image does not except the 4GB, with 2 GB Windows 2003 works.

 

Hello all,

Thank you for using Acronis Corporate Products

fvriezen, the issue is not related to Acronis software. Please check the memory sticks and let us know the results.

Thank you.

Acronis Support,

I tried 2x 2GB, 4x 1GB and 4x 1GB (different supplier -> kingston). So i tried different memory stick. But it does not work.

Regards

 

Can you boot the system from the hard drive into Safe Mode with 4GB installed?

If so, then some driver is unhappy with the 4GB of RAM, but in Safe Mode that driver is not loaded.

You might try resetting the video in Safe Mode to a standard VGA driver instead of the normal driver for the card. When systems don't boot, it's often a video related problem.

Again, this isn't an Acronis TI problem. TI only restores what was on the original hard drive.

 

I can boot into Safe Mode with 4GB.

I use universal restore, so it's different hardware. It can be a driver issue.
I will try your suggestion..

Thanks!

 

Yes, it does sound like a driver issue.

Let us know what you find.

 

Removed ATI drivers, same problem.

 

This is the problem of restoring to different hardware. Something installed for the original hardware causes a problem for the new hardware.

The Universal Restore feature (extra cost feature for True Image) is designed to get around this problem.

With Windows XP, you can do an "upgrade in-place" reinstallation of XP to force a new hardware abstraction layer (HAL) to be created so that the new hardware is recognized or new drivers can be installed for those not provided by XP. Programs and data are not affected. I'm not sure if this can be done with Server 2003.

It would be interesting to try a clean, new installation of Server 2003 on the new system with 4GB of memory installed. If it worked, you'd know that it is possible. You might get a clue to what is wrong with the restored image. If it failed, you know it wasn't going to work.

 

We used Universal Restore. An "upgrade in-place" does not solve the problem unfortunately.
I can do a clean install, but the system with the 4G works perfect when we boot with a WinPE USB stick.

This is a really tricky problem.

I 'm sure that the memory sticks are ok, because we used different ones.

 

Did you or anyone else make any customizations of Windows on the old machine? Page file settings, anything that might affect memory usage that now is the cause of the problem?

Is there any memory or speed optimization software installed?

Have you tried resetting the BIOS to defaults for memory timing?

 

- No strange settings.
- No memory software is installed.
- Resetting BIOS to defaults does not resolve the problem.

 

I've run out of ideas.

I think I would try a clean install of Windows just to confirm that it does work on the system.

This is very strange, but since Winsows Safe mode works but the Normal boot doesn't, it has to be a driver issue. Many fewer drivers are installed under Safe mode, but figuring out which driver doesn't work is the trick.

OK, one last idea. Boot into Windows SAFE mode and in Device Manager, start deleting devices. You'e already tried the video, so try everything else is groups of two or three. With luck, Windows will replace the bad driver with a good one or ask for a driver disk and you can install the most recent driver for that device.

 

I agree, it must be a driver problem. Here is the bootlog:

Note that the same hardware drivers are mentioned over and over.

I don't know what driver is causing the problem, but by deleting or disabling the devices in Device Manager, you can test to see if that allows the system to boot into normal Windows.

 

-->> Problem Solved <<--

Here is (in my case) the solution:

1) Boot Windows 2003 in safe mode.
2) Go to the "Device Manager" -> "System devices".
3) Uninstall the "Intel System Management BIOS Driver"
4) Reboot Windows in normal mode.
5) Windows will use the "Microsoft System Management BIOS Driver" instead of the Intel one.

Thank you John for your support and patience!

 

I am so glad to hear that you found the solution. That's very good detective work.

It does make sense that something like a BIOS driver could account for the problem. However, I would never have thought of it until you told me it was the problem.
