Posted: Sat Oct 03, 2020 9:07 pm Post subject: What type of RAM I need for a Kronos 2 (before opening it)? |
|
|
My Kronos 2 is crashing with the "a problem has occurred... " message every few minutes now. It is unusable.
I want to completely replace the RAM. How can I determine exactly what types of RAM I need before I open it up? I'd like to open it up only once to do the job.
I found this post but the specific memory is no longer around. This post here mentions the K2 has the Asrock IMB-140D. From that I can find specs that say DDR3 1066MHz, 2 x SO-DIMM
But that still provides many options. Many kits offer 2 DIMMs for 8 GB, but there is no way to use more than 4. So a single DIMM is called for? There are still many variations on speeds and configurations, so the choice is not clear cut.
I'm looking at something like this. _________________ Kronos2 73, Presonus StudioLive, Cakewalk / Sonar Platinum, Windows 10 |

SanMax 4GB 1RX8 PC3 12800S-11-12-B3
Or similar also works.

I am not aware of the history of your K2, your usage, etc etc.
I understand you are making an assumption, that the factory RAM has gone defective.
However, the issue might be simpler. My suggestion is to simply re-seat the ram, plus check SATA connections.
finally, if there is nothing definitive or conclusive about proper replacement RAM, email Korg support. _________________ Kronos 88. MODX8

I believe and have seen videos of updating ram. And like PC's, the MB in the Kronos should have duel channel memory slots, 2? 2-2 gig SODIMMS achive this. Instead of putting one 4 gig on the MB. 2 chips are suppose to boot and load faster? Feel free to comment! |

which videos ?
I haven't heard/read of any performance bump of diffs , 2 two gig sticks vs a single 4 gig stick. _________________ Kronos 88. MODX8

IMO Ram is the last thing you have to worry about , this is strictly a system SSD issue message by 98%. _________________ Music Conductor - Sound Engineer & Developer - Automotive SMPS/RF R&D - Electronics Engineer

There is no point in trying to upgrade your ram on the K2. It is already at the maximum you can add for a 32bit OS.
Basically that's 4gb with a chunk removed of OS duties. Adding more will do nothing. |

You should try to re-install the system by using the DVDs |
