Is there a known conflict between a CalDigit FASTA-GU3 sata/USB 3 card and an ATI Radeon X1900XT video card?

Hello all.
I am having trouble with my Mac Pro (circa 2008) not powering up the monitor (an Apple HD Cinema Display 23 inch).
Here's some history.
For about two weeks I was having trouble waking up the monitor from sleep. I would have to reboot the computer to see the screen.
Then the screen wouldn't wake up after many reboots. I tried the Apple Cinema Display on my MacBook Pro laptop an on an older Mac Mini. The display didn’t' work on any of them.
I then hooked up a Samsung monitor to all three computers in turn. The Samsung worked fine with each.
From that I deduced that it was Apple HD Cinema Display that was at fault.
I replaced it with one I bought from a friend - in perfect working condition.
The new Apple Display worked fine with my Mac Pro.
Problem solved - or so I thought.
Now, a few days later, I am having a repeat of the same problem. The Apple Cinema Display won't wake up.
I removed all the peripheral devices, still no joy.
I removed and reseated the video card (after blasting all with compressed air).
Still no joy.
I then removed the CalDigit FASTA-GU3 sata/USB 3 card I installed about a year ago.
Now the Apple Display came back to life.
So my question is, are there know conflicts between a CalDigit FASTA-GU3 and an ATI Radeon X1900XT video card?
If so - is there a fix?
Also open to other theories.
Other tech specs:
Mac Pro (from around 2008) 2 x 3 GHZ Quad Intel Xeon.
OSX Lion
The video card is an ATI Radeon X1900XT (512 MB)
Apple HD Cinema Display - 23 inch
Many thanks.

Thanks for the info on the Expansion Slot Utility. I found it and ran it. It shows no problems. It shows the ATI Radeon X1900XT to be properly installed and running at full capacity.
I found a reliable dealer of flashed ATI Radeon 5770 cards. A couple of trusted friends have had good luck with cards from the dealer.
So I will have that on stand-by for when/if the existing card fails completely.
Thanks everyone for your input.

    Are there any known conflicts between Mountain Lion (10.8.3) and Microsoft Outlook for Mac? After installing, I can't send or receive eMails. Using a Macbook Pro.

    Is this a recent problem or has it been going on for some time.  If you just updated to ML, you might want to confirm that you've update to the latest MS Office / Outlook patches.

  • Is there a known conflict between an extreme g base station and express n in a roaming network?

    I have an extreme g base station connected to a cable modem, an express g connected to a linksys switch via ethernet, and an express n connected to the same switch via Ethernet. The switch is connected to the extreme g base station by Ethernet as well. They are all set up to be a roaming network with 128 bit WEP security. I made two changes to the network recently. I went from a WDS setup with the extreme g and express g, which was generally stable but slow, to the roaming setup above, and I added the express n. Now something is causing the network to loose connectivity at least once a day, requiring a restart of the extreme g. My hunch is the express n is causing problems for the older g units.
    Does anyone know if this is a known problem and if there is a solution?
    Thanks.

    For what its worth.....
    I have mixed older "b/g" and newer "n" devices in "extended" and "roaming" networks for years, and have never experienced any issues with this type of setup.
    As a Community Support "regular", I can say that I cannot recall having seen the type of issue that you have described, but other users may comment with different opinions.

  • Problem between a Mac Pro / 01-2007 and ATI Radeon X1900XT

    Hello,
    My friend has bought a second hand ATI Radeon X1900XT with a fan Zalmann Fatality VC-ZV9 and has the following problems. She can switch on her computer without any problem and the card works fine (Photoshop, ...) As soon as she launches Secondlife client, the screen gets black few minutes after, and if she tries to switch off and on the screen, it says "No signal" anologic or digital. This card is reported to work very well with Secondlife. It can't be overheat, since it comes very quickly, and just after the crash, she can touch the card which is not hot. The fan works fine. How can I investigate to find out what goes wrong with this card ? Her computer is a Mac Pro bought in January 2007 with 3 Gb RAM and Leopard. The problems has occured before 10.5.3 version of Leopard was installed. I've made a test of the Video Memory with Techtool Deluxe and it didn't find any problem.
    Thank you

    I think I'm having a similar problem: running a Mac Pro/ATI Radeon X1900XT. Was having issues with general artifacts that seemed to come and go randomly. The machine got very hot one day when the AC was not on and the office was closed: random artifact "pixel dots" became lines on the screen, and then the entire screen just went black.
    I had to do a hard shut down, and it's happened several times since. When I pulled the ATI card out, there was considerable dust built up at the intake which I cleaned out. It hasn't blacked out again, but the artifacts remain on the screen.
    I suspect the card is about to die, but was trying to see if anyone else had this experience? Also, if anyone recommends replacing it with the same card, or if there is a better recommendation? I do general design and photo editing, no gaming and nothing very intense.
    Thanks for the help!!

  • Are there any known conflicts?

    Hi
    I have a FireMax External enclosure with two drives in it that are RAIDed togehter (as a mirror)
    It plugs in to the back of the tower into a Firewire 800 port.
    By itself its fine, the computer recognizes it etc however when I plug in my camcorder into one of the remaining firewire 400 ports things go wrong.
    for instance,
    - Final Cut Pro will not load
    - I movie will not recognise the camera etc.
    - If I "Eject" the drive and shut it off, there is no issue. I can capture to disks 1 or 2 internally but I want to capture to the external drives because they have more space.
    The enclosure is new and the camcorder is new as well. (within a few days)They just dont want to work together.
    is there some setting that might be causing this conflict?
    have you heard of any precedence for this?
    anything you can think of might be helpful.

    Hi guys
    thanks for your responses.
    for some reason my specs dident make it to the post - hopefuly they will this time (I can see them on my side listed as "other details")
    ok, the first time I captured the clips, it was with a rented Canon XL2. They all appeared to capture correctly but while editing, I realised that some clips were missing.
    When I checked the original digitalized footage, I found that some of the clips must have become corupt as they would not play in QuickTime.
    By this time the XL2 went back to the rental shop, so I tried my home camera to recapture - but then I find out that there is something wrong with my FW port on my camera!
    I went through the list, checked the cables (even bought a new cable) but nothing worked.
    Then I thought it was the Mac so I tried a pc, with sevearl different programs to try to capture the footage but nothing doing - none of the programs would see the camera.
    So I took the camera to a computer shop and likewise, found that none of their machines would see the camera either.
    SO...I bought a new camera specifically for this job. Its a Canon ZR 800 -- [the tape loads from the bottom which ***** cause if you have it on a tripod, you need to take it off the TP AND unscrew the TP mount just to change the tape! - I hope they can fix my "old camera".]
    Anyway, by itself, the ZR 800 talks to both FCP as well as I-Movie -- but NOT if the FireMax Drive is present.
    And yes, I tried daisy chaining them togehter -- camera to the FireMax (@400) to the rear the G5 (800 port)
    and I tried individually as well - FM to the 800 and the camera to one of the 400 ports.
    and I know that the ports are working cause you can plug the external drive into any of them and the G5 will see the drive.
    There is only conflict when they are togehter.
    One guy mentioned to me that there is a special "power bus" that the FM can plug into? Does that make sense? Its already plugged into its own power source.
    As it is, I have to capture to drive 2, then copy to external, then clean up drive 2.

  • Is there a known conflect between PCI 6034E and 7344

    I just installed a new PCI 6034E and now the DAC on my PC 7344 motion board seems to be putting out non-linear voltages from my position encoder. Does anyone know why?

    LA 75,
    Thanks for your answe,r here are mine.
    1. The 7344 worked fine until I stuck the PCI 6034E in it. I have an update for you on the problem which I learned after more testing. The quaditure count on the encoder is 16384
    I only need to measure -20 to 90 degree angles in my application. When I set up my DAQ channel (using a PCI 6025E which I still have in place) I calibrated based on +10 volts
    out of the 7344 DAC channel (axis 3) = 90 degrees an 0 volts = 0 degrees. What's really happening is that the DAC output is now 12.4 volts and its saturating the DAQ input
    channel. If I recalibrate with 0 volts = 45 degrees I can work around the problem...the thing is I don't know what caused this and what other safety implications there might be.
    2. The new board (PCI 6034E) is in the last slot and the 7344 is in the first slot...in between is an ethernet card and the PCI 6025E.
    3. I do not have another PC to test this thing in.

  • What happens when there is a conflict between develop settings stored in file metadata, and the catalog?

    Hello,
    Wondering if someone could quickly help me with understanding how develop settings are read back into lightroom... (I'm using lightroom 3.6) as I've just had a bit of a panic that my mis-understanding of the system might have screwed things up a bit!
    As I do all my image tinkering on a laptop with a small disk, I am often archiving directories of images to an old server we have, and then just bringing them back onto my laptop whenever I need them again. I have a single lightroom catalog on my laptop, and I thought (I now think wrongly!) that all my develop settings updates were stored solely in the lightroom catalog on my laptop, and as long as I kept a copy of the original jpeg images knocking around somewhere so that I could restore them to my laptop when needed, that I could always get back to the most recently edited version of my images. Often I copied a directory of images from the server to the laptop, edited them with lightroom, then deleted the jpg files from the laptop thinking the originals left on the server would be sufficient to restore my work later.
    However recently just before deleting a batch of jpgs from the laptop, I did a quick compare with the server and was horrified to realise that the files where different, and that changes *are* written to the jpeg files! Looking in lightroom I have the 'Include Develop settings in metadata inside JPEG [etc] files' turned on.
    My questions would be:
    1 - Have I lost work by effectively deleting the metadata from the jpeg files or is it also preserved in the catalog?
    2 - What would happen if some develop settings for an image were stored in the catalog, and a completely different set of develop settings were stored in the file - which would take priority?
    3 - Have I screwed up and if so is there anything I can do to minimise the damage? : {
    Many thanks for any advice!!
    Nicola

    1. Lightroom ALWAYS stores the edits in its catalog file.
    2. Lightroom ALWAYS uses the edits in its catalog file. The information stored in the JPG is NEVER used to display the image in Lightroom.
    3. As long as you don't eliminate the photo from the catalog, you are fine, your edits are present in the catalog file and Lightroom will use those to display the image.
    As I do all my image tinkering on a laptop with a small disk, I am often archiving directories of images to an old server we have, and then just bringing them back onto my laptop whenever I need them again.
    If you have moved the photos to the server, using Lightroom (or using Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders), there's no need to bring them back to your laptop. You can leave the photos on the server, and access them on the server, and everything works properly

  • Is there a known issue between iOS 7 and iPad camera?

    Inherited a barely used iPad 3. Set it up as new, latest software update.
    If I open the camera app, it's a black screen and the controls are unresponsive. If I hit the swap to front camera button, even though there is no response, but close then open the app, the front facing camera works as it should. If I try to swap it around, all I get is a blurred image in frozen screen. If I try to switch it back again to the forward facing camera: black screen and unresponsive controls.
    Does this sound familiar to anyone?
    I have restarted, re-set up etc. Barely used but out of warranty.
    Thanks!!

    You can try the direct download links here:
    https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/28341/apple-ios
    though you may still have the same issue getting a complete copy unless you can use a computer with a better Internet connection. If you get a successful download, you can then install it by Option-clicking the Update button in iTunes and choosing the downloaded file.

  • Does anyone know if there is a way to connect the iPad 4 to a canopus box and use it for capturing video live?, Does anyone know if there is a way to connect the iPad 4 to a canopus box and use it for capturing video live?

    I am the Video Coordinator at Samford University and have found the quality of video capture on the iPad 4 AMAZING, however I need to convert all my files through a canopus in order to Capture and Cut live like I do with a regular video camera. I can get the tripod and mount for the iPad, I was just wondering if anybody knows exactly how/if there is a way to connect to the canopus from an iPad.
    Look forward to hearing what you guys and girls say.

    I'm a bit vague about what it is you wish to accomplish. Are you trying to capture video through an external box? If so, that's not posssible with any of the Canopus boxes I'm familar with. In fact I don't know of any external video capture solution that works with an iPad, though I can't state definitively that none exist.  I really don't think an iPad would be well suited for this even if it's possible. I'd strongly suggest you look into a MacBook Air or one of the current MacBook Pros. Those are far better suited for on-the-fly video capture and editing.
    If that's not what you mean, please post back and explain further what it is you wish to accomplish.
    Regards.

  • Is there a conflict between Firefox and Carbomite?

    I have been having problems with unresponsive script errors in Firefox, in both normal and Safe modes. I got the idea that one of my background programs could be causing the problem, so I disabled all of them and then enabled them individually. Enabling Zone Alarm did not cause a problem, so I enabled Carbonite. Sure enough, the unresponsive scripts returned, in both normal and Safe modes. Is there a known issue between Firefox and Carbonite that causes unresponsive scripts and, if so, what can I do about it short of disabling Carbonite? Thanks for any help!

  • Conflict between Client object model and Item Updated Event Receiver in sharepoint 2010

    Hello All,
    As per my requirement I have a two custom list.
    Agent Details
    Port Name
    Agent Details contains Agent code, Port Name,  email, address and phone of Agent. Its possible that one Agent Code is connected with multiple Port Name.
    Basically what I am doing is I am getting port name connected with Agent code, using jquery and bind those values with check box(using javascript created dynamically) and bind all with Div tag.
    Now when my custom edit form of Agent list open up it shows me different port name binding with checkbox group.
    when user select the check box and click confirm button my clicent object model script will run and add this selected value into Port Name list. 
    After confirm one more button named Save will enable asking user to edit the email, phone or address value and when I click on save my Item updated event fires which update the values of the selected port name(These port name I am getting from port
    name list) to Agent Details custom list.
    Now when I am trying to update the values my event receiver fires or some times it got stuck(not firing). So could you please help me the possible alternative for this requirements.
    Can we user the Ecma Script(Client object model to preserve the value of selectec port) and Item updated event receiver on the same time?
    Is anything am doing wrong then please guide me.

    Hi,
    As I understand, when you updated values in the agent details list the Item updated event receiver got stuck sometimes.
    The item update event receiver will fire after the item has been saved, and the client object model script or the Ecma Script runs before the item is saved, so there is no conflict between the client object model script and item update event receiver.
    You could find out the reason about the item update event receiver gets stuck by debugging the event receiver.
    When you want to debug your event receivers, you have to attach to OWSTIMER.EXE and wait till they are executed. You can control this behavior using the Synchronization attribute. Also, if you’re looking for an easy way to debug an event receiver without
    having to manually attach a debugger to your code, you can use the System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Launch() method.
    The articles below are about how to debug in the event receiver in SharePoint 2010.

  • Conflict Between Bluetooth Mouse and WIFI?

    I Bought the new MBPR X72 and a Iogitech Bluetooth Mouse.When i download something by Wifi,My mouse can't work well.I search the answer on Google,some people said that there is a conflict between Bluetooth mouse and Wifi.Because they are both use the 2.4G HZ.So anyone can help me ??

    If you are on your home network, you could set the router and MBPr to use only the 5 GHz band if you are using the n-protocol WiFi.  That would mean logging intothe router and changing band usage settings.  The MBPr would follow what it sees as the wireless signal.

  • Conflict between Audigy 2 ZS Pro and four Wifi PCI Ca

    Hello,
    I apologize for my wrong English.
    I am an happy user of Audigy 2 ZS Pro.
    I tried to install a WiFi PCI Card and the PC freeze just after the launch of Windows XP SP2.
    I tried with four cards with respect of installation procedures :
    - D-Link DWL-G520
    - OvisLink Evo-W54PCI
    - SMC-Networks SMCWPCI-GM
    - Netgear WPN3
    and none of them works.
    There is a conflict with memory resources allocation : D7DF8000-D7DFFFFF for Wifi Card and the same for Firewire port of Audigy.
    It is impossible (for me) to desactivate Firewire port on Audigy or changing memory allocation.

    I'm quite sure it's an incompatibility between the SLi and the audigy 2 card whether that's a driver conflict or hardware conflict I have yet to determine, since it's behavior is very random if I play games with sound disabled it works fine if I leave internet explorer open though when the page refresh click sound is played while I have a game running it will cause the comp to freeze and reboot. I did not have the realtec(k) ? drivers installed before I removed the audigy 2 card I also had the realtec onboard sound disabled in the BIOS as for speed settings I have no clue what you are talking about I pretty much leave teh bios settings default except for the disabling of the unused onboard devices.Message Edited by psaux on 03-28-20060:2 AM

  • I have a conflict between Firefox Version 5 and both Ebay and Fasthost Sitebuilder image uploads.

    Since upgrading to version 5 of Firefox subscreens of ebay are not displaying, Fasthost Sitebuilder has stopped allowing the import of pictures and I am being logged out of secure sites before transactions are completed.

    I encounter immediate problems on installing Firefox 5. There were 3 Windows 7 crashes and I could not access Firefox. It was determined that there was a conflict between the anti virus program and the 5 version. There is no download for the older version 4 was not available. After trying several fixes, nothing worked.
    One post indicated that Mozilla was not fixing Firefox 5 and that the fixes were made in Firefox 6 version. Reluctantly, I upgraded to six and , to my amazement, it works again. Nothing ventured, nothing gained!! Hope it works for you.
