Acronis True Image 2014/2015 - 64GB and more RAM, recovery function do not work

Thread needs solution

Hello All,

I'm facing the problem that the Recovery Function of Acronis True Image 2014/2015 do not work with 64GB RAM installed. After reboot the Acronis loader is showing up, but a while later only a black screen appears and the recovery function hangs.
Some try and error overcome the problem when I reduced 64GB of RAM to 48GB.
I'm also refering to this post, where the same behaviour is reported but with no solution on the problem:

https://forum.acronis.com/forum/66884

I tried with Win7 SP1 and also Win 8.1, both english versions, both the same failure mode.

Please help, this is frustrating

Many thanks in advance

Hi Karl,
I had a look at the other thread. Can you please provide specific information about your hardware. What brand / model of motherboard do you own. Is this a VM? I don't doubt you are having an issue, it would just be helpful for all to know more about your environment.

Hello shadowsports,

many thanks for your reply! Please find below my configuration:

BIOS Type AMI (05/15/2015)
Storage:

IDE Controller Intel(R) C610 series/X99 chipset sSATA AHCI Controller 1 - 8D62
Storage Controller Asmedia 106x SATA Controller
Storage Controller Microsoft Storage Spaces Controller
Disk Drive C:/ Samsung SSD 850 PRO 256GB (256 GB, SATA-III)
Disk Drive D:/ Samsung SSD 850 PRO 256GB (256 GB, SATA-III)
Disk Drive E:/ ST4000DX001-1CE168 (4000 GB, 5900 RPM, SATA-III)
Disk Drive F:/ ST2000DL003-9VT166 (2000 GB, 5900 RPM, SATA-III)

I'm recovering the image from D: to C: (where on C: is the system installed).
Installed 48GB of RAM reimage is possible, adding 2 more 8GB bricks will lead to a black screen during recover.

Any idea and many thanks,
regards Karlheinz

Karl,
I've asked support to investigate this.

Hi shadowsports,

I'm still facing this problem. Did you got any feedback from your support team.
I've installed now Win 10, the same problem, I suspect it's HW related but have no glue what's the problem.

Thanks and BR
Karlheinz
