majorwedgy Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Higuys, been fortunate enough to pick up a brand new (old stock) P150em and it all works beautifully but for the fact the battery does not display charge. It charges fine in that running off battery lasts about 2-3 hours so the battery is fine but from day one it has said there is no charge in it. Any thoughts on what the issue could be? Tried updating bios, removing cmos battery and uninstalling the battery driver. Any help gratefully received Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majorwedgy Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 well turns out it has another quirk - just tried installing 4 dimms, unit will not switch on with 4 dimms filled. tried all dimms individually and tried all 4 slots individually all fine. if i use more than 2 dimm slots at the same time it will not boot - any ideas?

Khenglish Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 (edited) Are you running a Prema bios? His default BIOS mod will make the memory run in T1, even if you have lots of memory. For high speed memory with a high memory amount, command rate needs to go up to T2. If you have 16GB at 1866 or higher, you likely need T2. Prema does have a T2 edition just for this case. If you're running the default Prema mod try the T2, then see if 4 sticks work. If you have the Clevo stock BIOS you will have T2, so don't bother with the T2 Prema BIOS.

Khenglish Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 (edited) OK, you should not have any problems then with just 2 sticks. What speed are these sticks? Are they 2133? I've found the P150EM to have issues with 2133. Edited November 7, 2016 by Khenglish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
