2600K unstable at stock

I've just put together my system:
Intel i7 2600K
MSI Z68A-GD80 (G3)
2x4GB Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1600Mhz C9
Sapphire ATi Radeon HD 6950
2TB Samsung HDD
Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1
I've just tested the system using the LinX stress test with the latest Linpack binaries from Intel and it seems to fail at stock clocks, even causing a BSOD at times.
The machine has done 3 passes of Memtest86+ 4.20 successfully so I don't think the memory is at fault. I have tried setting the memory settings both manually and through XMP.
Any ideas on why the system might be failing the tests despite being at stock clocks?

Looking at the SPD Tab screenshot, the max bandwidth of the RAM is 1066. Could be a CPU IMC is not liking 1600, but with 1066 chipped RAM, I don't think it is going to reach a stable 1600 without loosening the timings further. Any benefit will be lost running at 1600 in that case. Nothing at all wrong with a stable 1333. Some extensive testing has been done with Sandy Bridge systems, & the results are very interesting. https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=147704.0

Z68A-GD55 (B3) + 2600K unstable at stock speeds

First time posting in here guys so please forgive me if this has been covered before. I tried searching but couldn't find any info on the B3 and similar issues.
I'll try and keep this as brief as possible. Basic specs are as follows:
Z68A-GD55(B3)
i7-2600k
AX850 PSU
Kingston 4x2GB DDR3 1333MHz (9-9-9-24) (I am unsure of the specific model numbers, but can get them today after work if needed)
EVGA GTX 465 (was x2 in SLI, but I think the 2nd card died very shortly after building this PC on Friday 3/23) (Edit: if this matters I'm on the most current drivers 296.10 but have tried a few others as well)
Windows 7 x64 Ultimate
All settings are 100% stock out of the box, zero modifications other than setting USB boot priority first.
My issue is this: The system runs fine 90% of the time, temps are low (idle 28-30c, I've seen max 56c on 1 core) but is just not stable at all when trying to run any type of stress test. I have successfully made it through a 3DMark Vantage run without the system shutting down, but any time I try and run Prime95, IBT, or Folding@Home the system just shuts down. I initially thought it might have been the factory shipped BIOS so I went through and updated all drivers and BIOS (currently running 22.6) but that did not fix the issue.
My next thought was that the RAM I have is not officially supported by the board, or that I had one or more bad sticks so I ran Memtest v4.20 overnight. Ran for roughly 10hrs and 9 full passes with zero errors. I'm still kind of leaning towards this being a possible issue so I went ahead and went through the supported memory list, picked out some G.Skill Sniper 2x4GB (F3-12800CL9D-8GBSR2 from Newegg) which should be here by Weds/Thurs. As I said, I'm not exactly sure what model the Kingston RAM is but I can find out as soon as I get home. The only other thing I noticed was that the BIOS has it running at something like 1.4xx volts and normal timings when the recommended voltage is 1.5V.
The main thing that has me so confused is that I am able to download things, watch movies, and ran 3DMark Vantage without any issues. Prime95 causes an instant crash as soon as CoreTemp shows 100% load on all cores. I did an open & run on Intel Burn Test and got through 9 of 10 passes at standard settings, started typing to my buddy who was helping me diagnose that it passed IBT just as the 10th test was about to finish and the system shut down. I am open to any and all suggestions from you guys, I've tried just about everything I could think of short of swapping out the memory. Thoughts/suggestions anyone?
(I can post the windows/minidump files later tonight as well if needed. When the system shuts down I don't see any BSOD, just total power off, and a new minidump file when I reboot)
Thanks in advance!
Mike

Mike, couple of things that you may want to attend to.
1. Did you do a full CMOS clear after the BIOS flash ? If not, do it. >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
2. Increase the DRAM voltage manually. Some P67 and Z68 boards have a tendency to apply a slightly too low voltage.
   Suggest you set it manually to 1,575 for now. That should give you an applied ~1,55-1,56V. This you can later reduce gradually if you find it to be a cause.
   Together with this, only insert one mem module into the slot closest to the CPU, and test one of the initial mem modules first and then the newer one that you bought.
   Do your stress testing with only one module and see what it does.
3. If the above fails, do a full CPU socket inspection. Bent pins on these sockets are frequent and have been the cause of numerous frustrating anomalies. No doubt, you would have found a couple of the threads where they were mentioned and fixed by straightening the culprit pins.

MSI GTX570 TwinFrozr III Power Edition: Unstable at stock unless fan is 100%

Hello Everyone,
I got my GTX 570 TwinFrozr III Power Edition yesterday and I like it a lot. I've been testing it and running it through various benchmarks and games to find the best stable overclocks with Afterburner. By doing this I noticed a few things that lead me to question if there is a problem.
Before I started trying to overclock, I ran the card at the stock settings 770core/1540shader/2000memory @ 0.962v and tried various benchmarks and stress tests. Immediately I noticed there were errors and artifacts. I tried to increase voltage and I noticed that the artifacts and errors were going away, so I thought maybe my VID was too low... at 1.012v it seems to be error free at stock settings.
I tried another thing as well, I left the card at stock VID (0.962v) and put the fan speed to 100% and I noticed all errors and artifacts completely gone. So I lowered fan speed to 70% because 100% is too loud for me and 70% is still pretty loud but it's better... I found that at 70% I still got some errors but not a lot. Let me just say that my GPU Core temperatures are amazing. never over 62c.
So now I don't know if there is a problem with my card or the factory just gave it too low of stock VID. I think it's kind of weird that at stock settings that the card would produce artifacts and errors unless the fan speed is at 100%. I'm guessing MSI factory tested stock overclocks with 100% fan speed?
I love this card, but if I ever resell in the future and someone installs this card they will think its broken.
Let me just state that finally, the card is an overclocking monster. I am now at 950core/1900shader/2300memory @ 1.082v without any errors... The only problem I have is that when I run unigine heaven I see some of these graphical anomalies. Here's an example I found online which is exactly what I see. http://fotohost.lv/images/n6azp80ru74so1ecp009.jpg
So far I'm not sure what the cause is for that... but I think that when I put the fan at 100% I didn't see it. I could be wrong, but I will test again when I wake up tomorrow.
Thanks MSI.

Thanks for the reply Henry, but the problem here is that it wasn't stable from the factory at their settings.
Do you understand how this can be problematic for me if I ever decided to sell the card? It is no problem for me to raise the voltage at all. I think this card is phenomenal, but if I ever sold this card to someone else who doesn't want to or know how to overclock or adjust voltages, it would be classified as a broken or faulty video card.
Also scratch the stability at 100% fan speed. I still get some errors, although not many. The card seems to be stable around 1.018 volts at default overclocked settings.
I just didn't expect MSI to make a mistake on the stock VID. If there were a way for them to fix it through a bios update it would be great.
Edit: Just for the record, the card is a great overclocker and is very stable. The only gripe I have is that it isn't stable at default frequencies unless I bump voltage to 1.018. This is no problem for me, but if I ever were to sell this card, I would have to have a disclaimer that it is unstable unless you put voltage higher?
I'm just trying to figure out if this could be some oversight on MSI's part and if it isn't, could my card not have been quality inspected?

GTX 760 (N760 TF 2GD5/OC ) unstable at stock settings. (Does MSI cross ship?

I recently purchased a GTX 760 TF
N760 TF 2GD5/OC
At stock settings, it is unstable, for example, running unigine heaven 4.0 will cause the card to reset in a way where it gets locked at around 500MHz. Nvidia cards do this when the GPU is unstable.
if the card is set to the slower silent mode, then it is stable, and does not crash.
If the stock settings are used 1020MHz, the card videocard will crash after around 40 minutes.
If the card is set to OC mode, then it will crash anywhere from 1 minutes, to 10 minutes.
if the card is set to the OS mode speeds, and the voltage is set to +12mv, then it can sometimes go a good 20 minutes+ before crashing.
Overall, the videocard is unstable at anything above the reference speeds
Related system specs are
Phenom II x6 1075T
12GB DDR3 1600
Motherboard: gigabyte 990FXA-UD3
Power supply: thermaltake SP-750PCBUS 750 watt
All voltage rails are stable during gaming and benchmarking.
The store I purchased it from no longer has it in stock so an RMA with them will not work in a reasonable amount of time if I want a replacement.
I don't want to be without the card for an entire month, so I was wondering, does MSI offer any kind of cross shipment or any other method to speed an RMA process.
gpu-z showing the stock settings of the card

Same issue happened on both of my computers.
second PC has a MSI 870A-G54 motherboard and a AMD phenon II x4 965 (underclocked to keep the system quiet for home theater use)
I am pretty much swapping in my GTX 460 for now.
When mailing the videocard in, do I use the original box? also, would it impact the warranty if the UPC section was cut out of the box to be mailed in for the rebate that MSI had going for the card?
another weird issue I noticed, if I run a game that causes the card to go up to 1019 MHz and not clock higher (e.g., running audiosurf and twitch streaming, the card will crash more quickly than if the card is loaded up enough to jump to 1123MHz at 1.2V
anyway it looks like this card in only stable at nvidia reference speeds
At reference speeds, it can handle a full work load, even run unigine and bitcoin mine (useful stability test) at the same time without crashing where at any other speed, you are looking at a crash in under 1 minute.

MSI GTX570 TwinFrozr III Power Edition: Unstable at stock settings

Hello,
This is a continuation of this thread:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=148321.0
But to summarize the issue, the card is not stable at stock speeds of 770 core, 1540 shader, 2000 memory.
The stock voltage on this card is 0.962 and may have not been quality tested enough at the factory. With my testing I found that the voltage needed for stability at these stock values is +68 to core voltage in Afterburner (1.031v). I used OCCT 15 minute stress test to verify there were no errors. Anything under 1.031v showed errors at auto fan speeds.
I was told by Henry that I should request a modified vbios from Svet. I am experienced enough to flash the video card, but I want to know if this will void my warranty.
Again, this card is wonderful and overclocks very well, the only problem is that it isn't stable at stock and if I were to ever sell the card to someone who is not experienced enough to over volt or overclock, this card would be assumed as defective.

Quote from: gl0ry on 02-May-11, 07:29:21
Thanks Svet,
I sent you my S/N. Yes, 1.031v seems perfectly stable for stock with auto fan. I am testing one more time to be certain and so far it seems fine.
Also, a question that was never answered. If I flash the bios with the one that you supply, I am still under warranty, correct?

MSI GTX570 TwinFrozr III Power Edition: Unstable at stock settings | SPLIT

Hello,
Same problem with my card also same model GTX 570 Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC not stable at stock clocks 770/4000 (artifacts on 3DMark 11)
I even plan do not OC it and stay on default clocks for now, but today I start bechmarks and notice only in 3DMark 11 artifacts (red sqares/dots) in others benchmarks I don't noticed any, or in games.
I bought it 3 days ago and I thinking to exchange it for another, what are you think is worth ? or could you here help me somehow ? I see is possible to upgrade new updated bios with higher voltage.
Is it 100% safe to flash this in Windows 7 64bit ?
I don't know how to check which voltage is enough for stock clocks ? Is that cards was not tested before they go to market ?
As I know I have to increase the voltage by MSI Afterburner Core Voltage (mV) a little and checking stability/artifacts ?
I checked orginal default voltage VDDC in GPU-Z and is 0,9120V at idle, and 0,9880V at stress.

Quote from: PeterMac on 16-May-11, 21:09:35
I rec video how it's work on default
You think other one should be good ? or maybe all of this cards are not stable on defaults voltage/clocks
Not for all, it should work as is.
Eventually can be fixed with bios update, with voltage bump
So either try bump the voltage until it makes stable then i can make a bios for you,
or rma it

PCIE 3.0 test with MSI Z68A-GD80 G3 :)

The Z68A-GD80 G3 is MSI’s first motherboard with PCIE 3.0 connectivity. Currently there are no PCIE 3 devices available yet but later on we can test its performance by using a PCIE SSD. Aside from this, the board has also a new UEFI Bios named “Click Bios II” which for me is way better than the previous version.
Before we take a closer look on the board, let’s check out the package first.
Box design is a bit the same as the GD80 B3 version before. Once you open it up, all main features of the said board are enumerated
Extreme Power Design, Military Class II Components (SFC, Hi-C Caps, Multi Bios), 3 PCIEx16 Slots, Super Charger and OC Genie II
For the bundled accessories, you have the same old story – Manual, Software Disc, four SATA cables, two Molex to SATA power connectors & SLI Bridge. Then for some extras - PCI USB 3.0 two ports bracket, guide headers for faster and easy connectivity and lastly voltage check points.
Next, the “Mainboard”. By physically looking at it and by comparing it side by side against the Z68A-GD80 B3 motherboard. You won’t find any difference except for the PCIE X16 locks. It has also the same black and blue color theme, two vrm heatsinks connected by a flat heatpipe and V-Check points.
Moving closer to the board you have 8 Power Pins to power up the processor, 2 PCI slots, 2 PCIE x1 slots for devices such as TV Tuners or Audio Cards. 2 PCIE Gen3 & 1 PCIE Gen2 x16 Slots. With one VC connected at the top most slot, speed will be @ x16. If both top and middle are used, it will be @ x8/x8. Lastly, by using the 3rd PCIEx16 Gen2 slot. You have x8/x8/x4. It would also disable certain onboard devices such as eSATA Port, Sata 7, one onboard front USB 3.0, two PCI Slots and firewire. So if possible avoid using the last VC slot.
At the top most PCIE x1 area. You will find a 6-pin power connector. This will provide more juice/power for multi-GPU setups.
Next, at the bottom part of the board. You have the Easy Buttons (Power and Reset) and the popular one button “OC Genie”. The red colored USB header is for the Super Charger while the blue is a regular USB 3.0. For the SATA Connectors you have a total of 7. 4 regular SATA 3GB/s, 2 SATA 6GB/s controlled by Intel chipset and another SATA 6GB/s by Marvell.
Wrapping things up, we have now the IO terminal ports. Starting from the left we have combo PS2 port and SPDIF Optical Out. Clear CMOS Button, e-SATA port running under Marvell, 2 USB 2.0 and Firewire ports controlled by Via. Moving across, 2 Gigabit Lan by Realtek 8111E, 2 USB 2.0 and 2 USB 3.0 run under NEC D720200 controller. Next, we have DVI and HDMI output connections and 6 analog audio ports by Realtek ALC892.
Once you are into the bios, you will find the new and improved Click Bios. Nice and professional looking, faster navigation and easier to use.
To test the performance of the new PCIE Gen3 technology, we will be using this Photofast PCIE SSD device http://www.photofast.tw/comboproducts.asp?pid=1.
We will be connecting the PCIE SSD device on the GD80’s Gen3 and Gen2 slots and compare the results using the disk benchmark software ATTO. I ran the benchmark 9 times for the two set of tests.
System Configuration as follows:
Processor: Intel Core i7 2600K at default stock speed
Memory: Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 2x2GB DDR3 2133MHz
SSD: OCZ Vertex 2
Motherboard: MSI Z68A-GD80 G3
Softwares: CPU-Z 1.58, Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit with SP1, Latest Atto Software 1.47 I think.
First test, Photofast running on Gen2 (third VC slot). One screenshot from the 9 tests made
Second, using the Gen 3 connectivity. One screenshot from the 9 tests made
Below is the summary of all the tests done on the board with the Photofast SSD PCIE.
That’s probably it. More forum posts to come 

I have a eSata hdd Seagate Freeagent Xtreme 1,5tb which cannot be recognized by win7
Did you have your previous board's BIOS set to AHCI or IDE ? You need to set this BIOS the same.
Firstly only insert one RAM module in the slot closest to the CPU. Remove the rest. Then do full CMOS clear >>Clear CMOS Guide<< also remove the MB battery.
What BIOS do you currently have ? The initial BIOS releases were plagued by CPU throttling which have been fixed in the cyrrent beta BIOS releases.

Z77 MPOWER Overclocking Issue

I just got a Z77 Mpower a few days ago and this board is driving me nuts. I like the potential it is showing but something seems off. I am working on overclocking a 2600K that I was previously able to hit 4.9GHz on an Asus P8P67 at 1.48V. I have been able to hit 5GHz easily on less voltage with the Mpower but there is something wrong. On the P8P67 when running IBT it was getting 130+ GFlops and Intel Extreme Tuning Utility showed the processor was using 120-130 watts, on the MPower I am getting around 70 GFlops and it is only using 95 watts. I know the 2600K has a stock max TDP of 95 watts, so I am thinking there must be a setting in the BIOS to push past that. I have set all of the power settings to 250 watts and it still seems to be capped at 95 watts. I have also disabled overspeed protection. What am I doing wrong?

PirateDog, thanks for the advice but that didn't change anything.
I believe I have found the problem with low Gflops in IBT. It appears to be the RAM, I have run a benchmark called Passmark Performance Test 8 and it is showing my memory is only performing at half of what it was in my P8P67 and I beleieve that this can account for the GFlops being cut in half as well. The memory I have is 16GB of Corsair Vengeance CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B. I have made sure that it is being detected as dual channel through CPU-Z and even tried pulling a pair just to see how it would run with just two sticks and no change. I have ordered some new RAM, 8GB Kingston HyperX Beast http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00A771ZWI/ref=pe_385040_30332200_pe_309540_26725410_item. If anyone knows if there is a setting in the BIOS that would cause this kind of behavior please let me know or if there is some other way to test how the RAM is truly performing.

Newbie K8N Diamond and 4400+ DUal core

Hi
I recently put together a k8n diamond and a dual core 4400+ processor. SInce i am no so fluent with voltages etc... I tried running the Ntune "performance Tuning wizard". Whereas all the other utilities work fine .. this just does not run.... if i click nothing happens (like a dead link icon)....
I reinstalled, redownloaded etc.... several times... anyone have a solution ?
Is there alternative software that can optimally configure my memory voltage, cpu voltage, FSB etc.....
My system is slightly unstable and crashed sometimes at the moment.
Another thing i noticed is that my HD (Seagate 80GB SATA - ST380817AS) is showing on secondary channel (hardware, device manager, IDE/ATA COntroller, properties.... with theoretical burst 10Mb/s burst 113Mb/s sustained 59Mb/s)...is this right ?
Thanks for your help
Matteo

Wow MatteoB, youve got a bunch of issues going on there...
-First off, try to keep posts to one issue, the ntune, the system instability, the hard drive problem, its hard to respond to-
-Please put all your system components in your signature, it's basically the first item in the new members to do list, suprised the moderators didn't snipe your for that, but most folks probably just passed by due to the first problem-
+The nTune Performace Tuning Wizard and the Profile Module does not work with dual core cpu's (i've only unoffically confirmed this with a handful of others), however you can manually change some settings in the Adjust settings screen+
++If your system is unstable at stock default settings and speed, you need to fix this the old fashioned way, ntune does not do this for you++
The hard drive problem sounds like it can be fixed, but again a remedy for system crashing should be your #1 priority as it may be tied to the hdd.
Make a signature file with your system components and elaborate on what is happening on the computer when it crashes and I am sure you will get a lot of responses.

GTX770 lightning boostclocks on stock too high - unstable

Hi Guys,
As the topictitle stated, the boostclocks on my 770 lightning are higher than advertised, and need voltagebump to achieve a stable gameplay. The card should boost to 1202(?)Mhz, but this sample clocks up to 1276Mhz out of the box. I've used the card over a year on 1333Mhz @ +50mV and works flawless, but i want to sell it (and its hard to sell an item that doesn't work straight out of the box). Is there someone who can help alter my bios? Or should i return the card to MSI?
Thnx in advance!

MSI GTX 560 TI Hawk Unstable?

I have a brand new custom built PC with two MSI 560 TI Hawk cards in SLI and I have a problem with playing games on this system. I've tried Portal 2, Far Cry 2, Two Worlds 2 and The Witcher 2. All games seem unstable with comparable problems:
Random lock-ups for 10-20 seconds with audio looping
Random small jitters, frame drops and stutters, including audio stutters
Sometimes my whole system freezes so I have to push the reset button
Artifacts
Flickering parts of the horizon, sky or ground in the game
Sometimes the game runs fine for a few minutes and then the problems start happening, sometimes they are there from the beginning.
I tried to eliminate possible causes one by one to narrow out the actual problem. Even disabling SLI and running on a single card doesn't help.
Here are the things I tried:
Monitor GPU temperatures with GPU-Z: didn't show anything unusual, around 35 degrees idle to 65-70 degrees stressed
Disable SLI: didn't fix the problem
Download MSI drivers v266.44 (older version than current NVidia drivers): didn't fix it and I couldn't find the SLI option in these drivers so i switched back to v280.26
Check driver and firmware version with MSI Live Update 5: everything seemed to be up to date
Remove graphics cards: cleaning the connections and re-installing, didn't fix it
Stress the cards with FurMark: no issues detected and temperatures seemed normal (70 degrees stressed)
Lower the stock clock speed (950 Mhz) to the standard non-overclocked speed (822 Mhz): this seemed to help at first and the problems didn't occur for a while. But while i'm testing right now Portal 2 froze and stuttered a few times again. Although it seems like it happens less often. So this might be a clue to my problem. Anyway I didn't pay extra money for these overclocked cards to underclock them back to standard so I would like to make the cards run on stock settings (950 Mhz).
Here are my system specifications:
Processor: Intel Core i7 2600K 3.4 Ghz (stock speed)
Mainboard: Asus P8Z68 V-Pro
Memory: 2x Corsair Vengeance 4GB DDR3 CL9 12800 Mhz
SSD: Crucial M4 256GB SSD
HDD: 2x WD Caviar Blue - Raid 0
Graphics: NVidia Geforce GTX 560 TI Hawk 1GB SLI
PSU: Corsair TX750 V2 (750 watt)
I hope you can help me to fix this issue because I'm out of ideas right now....
Thanks in advance
Tandpastatester

Well I've tried some more things but it's all still very weird and not helping at all I will explain my findings in the order i tested the cards this time, after every card-switch i did a clean re-install of the VGA drivers:
Card-2
I've ran the OCCT test for one hour on card-2, i got zero errors and temperature never went above 76 degrees with a fan speed around 68%. After this i tried testing some games again and I found out there were still problems regardless of me saying that card-2 did fine before. In Portal 2 I was leaving the game on for a while and after a few minutes it froze with audio looping. I found out that when I use ctrl+alt+del to go to the task manager and then go back to the game it recovered and I could continue playing (weird??!). The same thing happened with The Witcher 2, freezing with audio loop and going to task manager and back let me continue playing. This happened every few minutes.
Card-1
Now it was time to try card-1 again. This time this card didn't seem to have the frequency problems I mentioned before but the problems didn't go away. Portal 2 let the game freeze within a minute, and I could use the same strategy (task manager) to continue, but this time after a few seconds it would freeze again and again. The same happened with The Witcher 2. Then I tried Far Cry 2 and this game had the same flickering problems as with card-2 but a lot worse... it was almost everywhere. Even sometimes the flickering had a checkerboard kind of shape. Now I ran the OCCT test with this card and there were no problems. Another strange thing was that when I was looking at the graph after the test, the temperature was much lower (65 degrees) and the graph line of the framerate was very straight (stable) along the test. This was different than with card 2 where the framerate and temp were higher and not so stable.
After all it appears i have comparable problems with both cards, only with card-1 they are much worse.

System unstable - MSI 785GM-E51 and OCZ3G1600LV2G

I had random freezes since I built the system(20 days ago). But, intially freezing up once a day or so. Recently in the last 10 days, the freezes are more often (sometimes within 5 to 10 mins). Basically system freezes at stock settings.
Running Prime95 to test
Blend test stops mostly within the first few seconds reporting hardware error. The other two types work well. Did not let them go past few mins.
Also, changed the CPU to FSB ratio to 1:4. So, BIOS indicates 1600Mhz. Changed DRAM Voltage to 1.65V and system still unstable. Changed back.
Also, when I enable the MSI board features to Unlock CPU and ACC, the sytem does not boot under and stock settings.

Those 1.5V do not indicate the voltage set in BIOS but the JEDEC Compliant default voltage for DDR3 modules (1.5V +/- 0.075V). 1.65V is an overvoltaged rating that is needed to compensate the overclocked/undertimed ratings OCZ adverises for those modules.

Need for Nokia 808 reinstall stock camera.

I install the app 'camerapro for N8 and 808' and set as default camera. But the stock apps show blank black screen while still can take photo. I'm unsure whats going on. I turn off Camerapro apps as default, but the problem still presist. I tried reboot the first 2 times it still the same. Until I tried for more than 5~10 times finally get it to work but very unstable. Sometimes the stock camera run to standby mode when I already press the hangup red button to close the apps. Once I take a photo and go to gallery and try to go back to camera mode it sometimes shows a camera screen yet no option to change setting at all or even blank screen when press on the shutter yet can take photo.
I need to reinstall the stock camera apps and hope it will fix the problem that the camerapro cause to my nokia 808 stock camera.

Have similar issue to yourself upon 808 re-furbished to latest 113.010.1508 software. Whilst stock camera application icon worked about two times after firmware installed it no longer does, however although Camera Pro installed it is not chose as default but in Stock > "Preferences" I have selected "Capture when phone locked" so I can launch stock camera at anytime by pressing shutter release if this makes sense.
I thought that maybe this error was restricted to my device as since Belle FP2 I always get a "System error" screen on booting which disappears upon clicking OK but I can find no other adverse side effects upon device.
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

Wireless very slow and/or unstable after Kernel update to 3.13

I have a "fresh" install from 2 weeks ago. It was installed with Kernel 3.12. I have a rtl8192cu, it was dreadful, so as recommended I installed dkms-8192cu and everything was perfect.
After the upgrade to Kernel 3.13, both with the standard driver and with dkms-8192cu my connection is very slow or unstable.
As an example, in theory I have 20m, with 3.12 I was around 14m. With 3.13 I am around 1m or less, I can barely update my system because:
error: failed retrieving file 's-nail-14.6.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz' from archlinux.polymorf.fr : Operation too slow. Less than 1 bytes/sec transferred the last 10 seconds
Wired everything goes fine.
I cannot downgrade to 3.12 because I need the new radeonsi improvements done with 3.13. I have this computer mostly to play Dota2.

There is an in-kernel driver in staging called rtl8192u. It received a lot of changes in v3.12. Maybe try v3.11 and see if that works?
it didnt work in kernel 3.12, but with https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dkms-8192cu/ it worked perfect
in kernel 3.13 it is horrible both witht he stock driver or with the AUR package.

Very slow and unstable after update...

Hello!
After update yesterday, my Arch64 was very slow and unstable... Eclipse IDE crashes, Firefox uses +200mb and Xorg uses +15% of CPU. Xorg lags when I'm going to switch between virtual desktop in KDE... very strange!
