[VIA] KT4AV seemingly dead after installing new sound card!

Hi all,
I recently fitted a new sound card to my system. following this my system wouldn't start - it wouldn't even get past POST (i'm getting the 4 red LEDs on the D-Bracket for "cpu incorrectly installed or damaged"). I've takenb the card out again, and no change. i've removed and reseated the CPU, and no change. I've even changed the CPU for another that i know is working fine, and (you guessed it) no change. I've also tried resetting/clearing the CMOS (nothing).
The main thing i should stress is that my system was 100% fine before this. never locked, rebooted or crashed.
My system is:
KT4AV mobo
Athlon XP 2800+ (and also a Duron 900 for testing, as above)
2 x Crucial DDR2700 512MB sticks
Radeon 9800 Pro (Saphire)
Q-Tec (yes - i know!) 550W PSU
Could the CPU socket have been damaged/burnt out or something?
Hope someone can help, cheers
Jon...

the first thing i will suggest is.... try another (better) PSU. borrow one off a friend. you may find that the board powers up again

INstalling new sound card on HP Pavilion a1029_uk

Hi
Due to the issues raised in my other thread
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-PC-Sound-and-Audio/Suddenly-no-sound/td-p/607655
I've gone and bought separate sound card (not from HP admittedly) but can't get it to install as the install software keeps crashing.
Could it be that I've not totally got rid of the on board motherboard sound chips (that no longer work) are somehow interfering in the process.
I've tried to do the install both with the and without disabling the on board audio in the BIOS settings (turning this off does seem to remove everything including Sound Manager, volume control etc) but it makes no difference.
Do I need to leave this one but remove sound manager and the device drivers manually and if so, how do I do this as Sound Manager isn't included in the "Add / Remove Software" list.
So the question is: Is it possible to totally remove all systems access to the on board sound set, so I can use a PCI sound card instead.

Trying to install Sweex SC002 5.1 PCI Sound Card
http://www.sweex.com/en/assortiment/sound-vision/sound-cards/SC002/

Just to let everyone know I've solved this one.
It seems part of the new sound cards that hooks around the back of the PC to hold it in place is slightly too short, and/or the wrong shape, so when you put on the plate on my HP Pavillion that holds all the PCI cards in place, this pulls the soundcard slightly out of it's slot, up at the opposite end with the smaller pins so although the computer can detect there's a PCI card there, it can't tell what it is.
If I leave this plate off, and allow the hook around part to hang free, the card works.

Hello Malith Ratnayake,
After changing the old RAM by the new one, this issue occurs?
If the issue doesn’t occur when you change back to use old ram, I think it is the RAM hardware issue.
Please contact the hardware manufacturer for better support.

No onboard audio after installing new graphics card

Good afternoon,
This is my system:
Pavilion Elite 5100t ATX PX
Vista 64
Raedon HD 5670
After installing the video card, the onboard 5.1 audio panel at the back only produces sound for the subwoofer. The front headphone jack is still working. The video card supports HDMI, and therefore has an audio component in it. I tried the following without any solution:
1. Setting onboard audio as "enable" in BIOS
2. Choosing "speakers" as default in control panel-->sound
3. Disabling the HDMI audio output in control panel-->sound
4. Uninstalling both audio drivers (onboard Realtek and AMD from the VC) with auto-reinstallation when restart
Those are the common recommendations I got from different forum. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Did you try the latest Realtek audio driver?
I had a problem similar to yours with my NVIDIA GT 460. It turned out to be a bad Realtek audio driver. I had to go back to the original Realtek driver that came with my HP PC until Realtek fixed that issue that I reported to them. I had tried six differnet Realtek drivers.

No Signal after installing new graphics card

Hello and thanks in advance for your help!
We have a 2yr old HP p6540y. It has an ATI integrated Video Card. When we recently turned it on, we got a 'no signal' message on the monitor and then it would go to sleep. We have tried several things to fix...listed below, in order, and are still getting the same message. Please advise!
1) No Signal: DVI, VGA, HDMI. So we unplugged and restarted, no change.
2) Checked monitor and DVI & VGA cords with another computer: They all work.
3) Installed new Graphics Card: NVIDIA GEForce GT 610. Still got same 'no signal' message.
4) We plugged/unplugged all other cards/cords/anything we could and cleaned out. Then, finally, the monitor turned on! But not for long....
5) After restarting computer after installation of graphics card driver, we got the 'no signal' message again. We once again, pulled out other cards/plugs and again the monitor/computer came to life.
6) We unistalled the integrated ATI graphic card. When we go to Display, Advanced Options, it lists our new NVIDIA as graphic/display card.
7) We turned computer off overnight and this morning when we turned on, we once agin got the 'no signal' message. We unplugged/plugged computer in several times. Also tried the trick with pulling out cards/plugs and we got nothing. No Signal. After doing this several times (about 10), it finally worked again.
8) We changed sleep settings to: Screensaver=Never; Sleep Mode=Never.
9) We restarted again to once again get no signal message.
So...what do we need to do?
Thanks so much!

Hi,
Most PCI-E 3.0 cards are backwards compatible with PCI-E 2.0 slots. However, in order to get PCI-E version 3 you need to be using an Ivy Bridge processor. Review these specifications for a typical NVIDIA GTX 650.

3000 j115 A11 stopped working after installing new graphics card

I thought i would be slick and install a new graphics card (asus GEForce 8500GT) after i put it in my 3000 j115 A11 everything stopped working. I can turn the tower on and it gives two beeps. Nothing displays on the monitor (it doesn't leave powersaving mode). It is also very quiet like it is not even trying to work. Did I just destroy my computer? Is there anything I can do?
PS. I did take the asus card back out, so I'm not that lucky
PSS. Got back to being able to boot but now I can't get back into bios to switch from PCI back to original built in card. If I try it just hangs after pressing enter to interupt normal setup

I find this thread very interesting. I am assuming this system (3000 j115 A11) is the same as one I mentioned in a post from June 12 (7387A11... Graphics upgradeable?).... and is still hanging out there. Perhaps if Lenovo, or anybody else for that matter, could/would provide SPECIFIC upgrade instructions we could all be enlightened. (In my case I do not own a Lenovo computer but I am hoping to help my sister-in-law with her Lenovo and don't look forward to a major meltdown if the systems are not capable of this, otherwise, simple upgrade.)
Niether of the 2 previous posters mentioned if they upgraded the PS in thier respective systems prior to the graphics card installation (although ala17 "recently" did.). One had issues and the other didn't. If that should be the first step toward the upgrade, it would be helpful to know beforehand.
Thanks and good luck. Post back if you get to the bottom of it.

Cant install new Sound card driv

I currently have an audigy 2 zs plugged into my computer and every time i try to install the drivers i get a device installer error. It says "Windows Could not load the installer for MEDIA." Any idea how i can fix this problem? My computer obviously knows the card is there because it currently shows a multimedia audio controller under the sound video and game controllers.

Could my problem be my card is just completely toasted and i have to get a new one? Anyone know of a good set of diagnostic tools that i might be able to use to test that out? Or do i just have to swap in a new card?
Edit: Nevermind tried installing an old sound card and still got the same error, any idea how i can fix this problem?Message Edited by BuckRodgers on 03-5-200709:46 PM

Startup problems after instaling new graphics card drivers

PC: HP p6520 f with a 400 watt power supply
video card: AMD Radeon 6570 (MD1GD3)
After getting the 400 watt power supply, I was able to uninstall the intergrated graphics card's drivers, but I can't succsesfully startup after installing drivers for the new card without a system restore, which of course gets rid of the new drivers.
I've tried newer drivers, but those don't work either.
Any suggestions?

Hello Sev_07. I understand you're unable to install your video card drivers.
Are you receiving an error on boot?
Are you experiencing any issues with other pieces of hardware?
Have you tried running HP Support Assistant and Windows Update to ensure all of the software and drivers are completely up to date?
It may also be helpful for you to provide your product number so I can look at your computer's specifications. This document can show you where this is located.
I hope you have a great day!

Desktop frozen on startup after installing new video card. Please help!

Recently we upgraded my computers graphics card to a Gigabyte Geforce GTX650 and we have also upgraded the power supply to an EX2 525W power supply. When we plug the PCIE into the video card and enable the slot the screen goes to the standard startup screen and says press escape for startup menu but then freezes there. We have tried updating the BIOS and we have made sure that all the connections were secure. If we try having the video card plugged in and run the onboard graphics the computer will beep several times and there will be no screen output.

I understand a new video card isn't working as expected.
What is the product number and model of the PC? The following document details how to find this information should you need it.

Hi I just bought a new graphic card for my p6-2055sc and it makes 6 beeps when trying booting up.
The new graphic card is Geforce GTX 750ti
I cant get it to work.
Have tried to find the latest BIOS but the latest one is from 2012 :/
Please help me.

Thanks for the quick answers. I think i will buy a new motherboard or a upgrade package. Is it possible that someone can answer if this all would work together ?
I thinking of buying this sort of upgrade package when im still on a "spending money spree".

Macbook dead after installing new ram (1gb in each slot)

After upgrading my MB ram to 2gb (1gb each slot) my MB would not start, no lights or action. I replaced the old ram and still nothing. I then went to a genius bar and they tested it out and even replaced the ram with ones they had and still nothing. I was then told that the logic board was dead. Has anyone had this problem? Since it is out of warranty I have to pay $280 to have them repair it which is a flat fee and they will fix it no matter what is wrong which I find is better then some rates I have seen posted online for $600 just for the logic board itself.
My MB is the 1.83, could 2gb be too much? I have had the MB since July 2006 and recently had battery problems before I replaced the ram. Could this have fried the logic board?
having a mac nightmare right now!

Improperly seated RAM is fairly common... but I haven't seen many comments about inserting RAM actually damaging the logic board... but you do have to use quite a bit of force to get them in there. The good thing is the price that they are charging you for the repair... as you mentioned, I've never seen them charge that little for replacing a logic board. I wonder if that is something new.

Ipod dead after installing new software

Hi,
I downloaded updated software for my husband's 3g nano (last year's birthday present), so that I could install the Nike sport software (this year's birthday present!). The ipod software downloaded and installed fine, I didn't do the Nike one.
The next time he tried to turn on the ipod, there was no response at all.
The 'lock button' is not on.
Plugging it into a PC with a USB cable that works with my own ipod (same model)has no effect.
It appears to be completely dead.
It is only a couple of weeks out of warranty, bought 21/09/2007, fired up 29/09/2007 or later.
We have 5 ipods in the family at the last count, and mine is my third since the first one came out. We are definitely loyal customers, so I would hope that Apple might see it's way to stretching the warranty a fraction and sorting this out for us.
To whom can I appeal for help?
Regards
Angie

Wow. Thanks Mitch. When I saw the direction you were going, I thought that couldn't be the problem. But, I decided to remap the ipod anyway, and that was the problem. Thanks again

Program Monitor is Black, no video playback after installing new graphics card

I bought a PNY Nvidia Quadro 2000 graphics card a few days ago, and since it's been installed, I've been unable to watch video playback in my program, source or even reference monitor.
Similarly, If I designate one of my monitors soley for video playback, the screen is just black, and as the timecode advances on my timeline I only hear sound.
My project is using "Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration" for Premiere Pro CS6.0.1
I went from using one graphics card to using two graphics cards, and installed a third monitor. I've spent the last few days trying everything I could think of, I even uninstalled and re-installed premiere.
Hardware Specs:
Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit)
HP Pavilion h8-1230z
AMD-FX8150 3.59Ghz 8 core processesor
16GB RAM
600W PS
EVGA Nvidia GeForce GTX 550Ti
PNY Nvidia Quadro 2000
I am using a PCI x16 for the Quadro 2000
I am using a PCI x1 slot w/x1-x16 adapter for the 550Ti
Could this be the problem?
Additional Information
Vectorscope, All scopes, YC Waveform - Display modes all work.
I downloaded the most recent Nvidia drivers for both of my cards.
I haven't received any error messages or had any problems in After Effects CS6, as video playback is working properly in my other adobe applications.

I am still building a new system, so currently I'm still using a 480. You can read all about my choices and progress here: Adobe Forums: Planning / building a new system. Part 1
There are 11 entries in the Benchmark Results that succesfully use the GTX 680, even though it is not 'supported'. They all use the 'hack'. However, the 680 has been added to the list of supported cards for AE, so it is only a matter of time before the 680 will be added to the list of supported cards for PR. Todd had made that clear. Now, when the 680 is added, it makes sense that the 670 will also be added. My guess is that both will be added in a short while.

Power Mac G5 crashes after installing new Graphics Card

Hello, this is my first post and if anyone can offer any help with my problem I would greatly appreciate it. Sorry for the long description, but I want to get all of the facts out.
Its a bit convoluted, but here goes...
I was having a problem with one of my G5 computers and I thought at first that the problem was the graphics card. So I bought an ATI Radeon 9600XT card on eBay. Before that card arrived, I determined that the problem with the computer was a faulty firewire card, I replaced that and this computer now runs fine.
After the Radeon card was delivered, I put it in another G5 (1.6 processor) being that it was an upgrade from the nVidia GeForce FX 5200 that was already in the computer. After about a week, this computer crashed and crashed repeatedly. So I switched the card back to the original nVidia GeForce FX 5200, but it still kept crashing.
I then initialized the drive and reinstalled 10.4. This did not solve the problem, the computer keeps crashing with the screen that says "this computer needs to restart..." same as before. I then swapped this nVidia GeForce FX 5200 card with another identical nVidia card that I have from a 3rd G5. This not only did not stop the crashes, but caused this third G5 to crash.
When I start the G5 1.6 up in safe boot, the computer does not crash and will run stable.
I really would appreciate any advice.

Ok I ran AHT on both machines and everything passed on both. The G5 #1 (1.6) restarted and ran ok (in and out of sleep mode) overnight. When I shut down, the screen went dark and all seemed well, but the computer never actually "shut off".
Anyway I thought that if I could pull the panic logs from each machine that it may be helpful for someone to diagnose just exactly what is going on. So here are the panic logs for each G5.
