iMac Crash Loud Squeal (Bad Crucial upgrade RAM)

[brokeniphone2]

@DW793 iEXPLODE!

[Keruaran]

I thought it sounded like a Sitar at first... but then, more like barbed wire. :P

[syahirSQRT2]

that sounds kinda like the... tesla coil or something.

[dnapiorkowski99]

Burn Notice i see!

[Portal2Rulez]

squeal.exe has encountered a problem and must close. X3

[Pr0zNemesis]

u sure you got the right ram?

[Mrsvasu1974]

imac is dead

[MrSkinnyBill]

Why does the defective ram do that? Is it the ram stick itself that makes the noise or does it somehow tell the sound card to make the noise?

[codeythesilent]

@MrSkinnyBill

the RAM has info from the computer and takes it to the CPU and vice versa. If the ram goes bad, it'll completely halt your computer. It's like snapping someone's spine.

[Cheetah1251]

Why are you brushing your teeth with a mechanical toothbrush in the background?

[MrLoliep]

iAirport



[MrGlockling]

@Brawler1100 uh yea they can perfectly it's the opposite it's illegal to run Mac on windows look it up

[honam1021]

Therefore,DO NOT buy ram from Crucial.

[newflatter]

@honam1021

Therefore, DO NOT use mac.

[glupoi653]

sounds like there's a hardware problem... no need to buy expensive macs to enjoy a life without viruses :D

[linux ftw]

[LBP2lolz]

The same thing happens to me when i hold down the power button down for too long

[Eragon7985]

Built a better pc for 1/4 the price and have had zero problems.

[hey7328]

@Brawler1100 THEN WHAT'S BOOT CAMP SEARCH IT UP

[cy012201]

Its blending some fruit in there.

[FlorianWaletzko]

DUBSTEP!!!

[ilovepolice1]

sounds like a fire alarm

[romshua]

Keeps the bugs away

[gaj1234]

@dw793 lol..ur so funny..can't stop cracking up.

[adammelancon]

I haven't had a single other problem with this iMac except for this bad stick of RAM I purchased from Crucial. It's been working perfectly ever since.

[Farie977]

@adammelancon You Should Help To Local Apple Store To Change A RAM , Remember : Never Open Your Mac , Always Take To Apple Store

[Amuffin456]

@Farie977 THATS HOW THEY RIP YOU GUYS OFF!!!!!!!!

[leanggg]

@adammelancon Hey i just install 8g ram on my imac. i heard the same noise but just a second doesn't it mean i have a bad ram too? ( my imac running fine)

[4543563]

Spell 'macs' backwards. That's the damn thing.. It's all that.

[terjer6]

restarted and problem solved.. this was probably one of the the worst crash the mac would have.. but go ahead.. buy a crashtest machine from acer, hp or asus if you want.. i dont blame you.. :p

[SMGDUDE3017]

thats why you dont buy refurb lol

[Brawler1100]

mac cant handle Windows COMPUTING POWER!

[jro9001]

wtf was the problem

[AaronStudios3]

GET OFF THIS VIDEO BECAUSE THAT SQUEAL IS HEARTING MY EARS!

[mozzmanau]

LMFAO how much did this peice of SHITE cost you? OH can you plug in an external monitor? Can you upgrade your DVD drive? What if you want a Blue Ray Drive? What about upgrading your RAM? Can You make your screen bigger? LMFAO MACS = SCAM

[EmoticonMayhem]

@mozzmanau Yes you can plug in an external monitor, you can upgrade your ram so MOZZMANAU = A trollin' pc fanboy

[mozzmanau]

@EmoticonMayhem Yeah but at what cost? And how the fuck do you plug in an external monitor when all the fucking thing is a monitor Brainwashed Mac Boy. Keep paying duble the price for SHIT.

JHey did you hear the new Need for Speed is out? Guess you cant play that on a Mac can you? LMAO. Cant even upgrade the video card to play LMAO. Soooo funny

[EmoticonMayhem]

@mozzmanau There is a Mini DVI port on the back on the older ones and a Mini Display port on the newer ones for plugging in an external monitor and if you get a Mac Pro then you are able to upgrade the graphics card in it and if you need to run windows software THAT desperately you can use boot camp to dual boot windows and mac os. In fact, the only thing you can't do with a Mac (if you have a Mac Pro) is use cross fire or sli but all the other upgrades you would usually do are possible.

[mozzmanau]

@EmoticonMayhem OMFG so out of ALL the Mac desktops how many of the models can you upgrade the video card and RAM EASILY. Remember the word EASILY. And i want %'s Im betting its prob 2% LMAO

[EmoticonMayhem]

@mozzmanau about 17% of the new ones can have video card and ram easily and 50% of the new ones can have RAM upgraded easily

[Philipracer]

My g5 has never crashed ever

[Blivia]

Dude.. That's a picture, I heard Macs never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever crash! >=o

Oh, wait. That was just the fanboys talking before. Nevermind me.

@skittleschocolate

Thanks for the idea. XD

[jonvincent12]

That is a defective Hard Drive. Not RAM, because RAM doesn't have a mother fucking sound. It is a cable hitting a fan or the HDD dying. And to almann1117, you are not funny, and apparently don't know shit about computers. Mac's suck. PC's suck. I own a PC because PowerPC Linux blows.

[Blivia]

@jonvincent12

That sound is coming from the Speakers.

Your RAM holds EVERY piece of data that's been processed. (All of your open applications sit in RAM.) If your RAM is messed up, it will tend to send wrong values to the processor (Not giving the same numbers it was suppose to be holding.) You can guess what happens next. The computer starts acting really weird. You wouldn't think it's the ram, but it is. RAM works directly with the processor. ^_^

[adammelancon]

Fixed it right after it happened. Turns out it was some bad ram from crucial. Bought another 4GB from owc and the problem was fixed.

[muk546]

change the ram or hard drive

[11Stormtrooper]

this is how my mothers laptop died :O : it froze you couldent change the volume and after restarting it wouldent get to your screen anymore it was just completely down

[ivliuscaesar1865]

yeah, when you start it up next time, it will catch the mistake, then click the repair files button, then for the last step, after the Imac has finished loading delete your video files,

the same thing happened to me!

[RealPatriots]

My Imac was freezing when i touched the mouse there is nothing I could do and it not freeze. When I restart it goes to a grey screen, sometimes a question sign comes up other times a circle with a line through it. It froze when I tried to reinstall now I have a white screen. so annoying.

[almann1117]

@DDRSN2 yea, he did a bad upgrade with the ram

[almann1117]

sounds like it was in pain... "my processor! IT BURNS!!! AAA--- HERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR"

[HmooD1600]

@MrRc505. Aww come on every thing crach's

[almann1117]

@HmooD1600 like your spelling?

[brainstormer9]

Obama killed your mac

[MrRc505]

my dell never crashed =)

i love it

[skittleschocolate]

im waiting for someone to comment and say THATS A PICTURE> MACS NEVER CRASH!!!!! haha

[RealPatriots]

@skittleschocolate I feel like going to the apple store and telling everyone not to buy one...mine ended up costing over 1700 with the printer. IT froze more than any pc ever has and when it freezes dont think a restart will fix it. right now i cant even reinstall the OS, it froze during a reinstall and would not start again. I seriously hate macs now, they cost too much and they crash worst than PCs

[SgtMustang]

THATS WHAT YOU GET FOR BUYING A MAC!

(I'm using caps to scream over the loud pitched noise made from that damn pc)

[almann1117]

@SgtMustang what? no, that's bad! you do NOT insult macs NOR PC's! that's rude.

[app0the]

sounds like defective RAM

[FerralVideo]

AIEE! My FREAKING EARS!

Sounds like you've already figured it out as defective RAM.

[TheNameIsNald]

that's a pretty noise. lolz.

the clicking that came up during that noise sounds like a hard drive's head clicking.

[adammelancon]

I would defintely get one!!! I swapped my 4GB of crucial RAM back to my 2GB from apple and have not had this problem again.

I'm going to try another 4GB pair and see if it happens again.
