4 Green LEDs and System Hang!!

I have the MSI K7t Pro 2-a, 512 of pc133 ram, geforce 2 mx, soundblaster live *which i have taken out* western digital hard drive 7200 rpm
I just now got this problem and it start when my brother was using it to play americas army. He was just sitting there waiting and the screen went black but the computer was still on.
Now when I reboot, i get 4 green leds and the computer will make it to the loading screen for win2k and soon as it gets to bout loading windows the screen hits black and the computer light is green and the work light, the little orange one is constant, it doesnt flash.
Whats the deal!
my sound card dont like this motherboard, ive had ram in this thing that it didnt like now this!! IS this MOBO PIECE OR WHAT!>
Thanks,

You are probably loading something the videocard doesn't like. Try to load windows in safemode. Keep hitting F8 during start up and you'll get a menu which has "start up in safemode" option. If you can get windows to start, everything looks terrible (256 colors, 480x640 etc). Reinstall the video drivers.
Is your board a 6330 or 6380?

Need reset box with flip-flop green LED and reset button

Before I build up a large number of these, is there an off-the-shelf box with flip-flop green LED and reset button?

Hi, I'm not sure what you mean. Are you looking for a phsyical project box witha built in reset switch and LED? Or are you talking about a LabVIEW template?

LR3 crashes on opening and system hangs

Hi- I just got LR3.
I kept my Lightroom catalogues on an external drive.
First time I opened LR3 I linked to catalogue and when it was about 75% through upgrading, system froze, got grey overlay on screen and message to restart computer - but all I could do was to cut the power.
I reapired permissions, moved catalogues to mac in 'pictures' and tried again.
I managed to open a catalogue, looked at a picture & then it crashed.
Optimized LR2 catalogues etc
reinstalled etc.
Now all I get is the LR3 logo and system crashes immediately.
Help - rather annoyed that I've just spent £78 for this.
The LR2 upgrade when I had it worked flawlessly.
Others seem to be having the crash further on - I can't even look at catalogues now.
Update: just repaired permissions and am getting:
ACL: found but not expected for many strings - dont know hat t means

I have also had this thread on Canon Forum and Lightroom Forum where I followed the path you suggested.
After various solutions including setting up a clean user account, it was suggested (on Lighroom forum) that I try and open LR3 in 32 bit - which I did and it worked.
I then looked at LR2 which had been working as I noticed a comment that it too was 64 bit - but I had been running it in 32 bit.
I changed LR2 to 64 bit and it also crashed in exactly the same way - so It appears that for LR2 , on installing, the default was 32 bit and for LR3 the default was 64 bit.
Looking on the system requirements for LR3 it says that I ned at least 1G ram - but I have 3G! However, other comments are that LR3 needs 4G to work properly.
Many thanks for all your help - and I hope this thread helps others.
The error message below was what I kept getting every time I tried to load LR3 - the screen froze and I could do nothing but cut the power.

GD80 Status LED and System Suspend problem

Hi everyone.
My hardware:
- MSI P55-GD80
-BIOS AMI v1.4
-Intel Core i7 860
-OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) 1600MHz CL8 Gold Low-Voltage
-Zotac GeForce GTX 275 896MB
- PSU: Corsair TX850W
-HDD : 1- Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 250GB (ST3250318AS); 2 - Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 500GB (ST3500630AS); 3 - Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB (HD103SJ)
- Debian GNU/Linux "Squeeze", kernel 2.6.32, amd64
I have a problem with LEDs on motherboard. when they are lighting I can't "wake up" pc from S3 state (aka suspend). It just restarts when wake up event appears.
Actually the lighting LEDs are: 1&2 VTT_PHASE; "LED2" , which indicates active PCI-Express 16x port; CPU Phase LED panel (it shows 8) and + - buttons used for overclocking (OC Gene and these buttons are turned off in BIOS)
But the strangest thing is that the LEDs sometimes turns on and off (actually one day they do, in other they don't) when I turn on computer, even when they are disabled in BIOS (Green Power => Motherboard LED Control) [btw. Touch Panel is disabled and it still works ]
I have cleared CMOS , swapped SATA cables and I have checked RAM and PCI-Express connection (sometimes when I reinsert graphic card everything starts to work well, but for a few days the problem appears again. The same goes to SATA cable )
Anyway it looks to me like an error reporting (or something) but there is nothing about that in the manual. (or it's a BIOS bug).
I have been searching about it, but i haven't found anything.
Anyone had this kind of problem?
EDIT: BIOS upgrade from 1.4 to 1.5 didn't help.

Nvidia Driver and system "hang" issue

Hi all,
This is my first post on these forums but im not new to Mac or windows. Here's my issue. I just installed a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate RTM on my Macbook. Its the first unibody Macbook 2.4ghz w/ 4gigs of ram. Nvidia 9400M graphics.
2 Things happen,one is that a few times a day ill get a "Nvidia Windows Kernel mode driver, version 186.81 failed" error. The symtoms of which are a black screen for a few seconds and then the driver restarts and all is well.
I know 186.81 is the latest 9400M driver. So im not sure why this happens but maybe it relates to my other issue.
My second issue is that the system will, as best as i can describe it, "hang" for a second or two. When i say hang i do not mean freeze to the point of needing to restart, its more that the "hang" happens and a few seconds later its as if nothing happened (this issue is very fequent).
Anyone else ever see or hear anything like this? Please let me know if there is a better place to post this question as well.
Thanks!
P.S. Posted this somewhere else and got 1 reply so far, pasted below:
Okay, how about uninstall or roll back the driver?
use Driver Sweeper 2
just let Windows 7 install its own driver
more like the hang is hard drive has spun down
I would recommend creating your own thread and question instead.
by "the hatter"

Hello guys and thanks for your answers.
I thought that my problem was linked to UEFI, so I reinstalled the os with BIOS and MBR. Unfortunately I had the same problem, with one difference: the auto/default resolution of GRUB and FrameBuffer was 800x600 instead of 1920x1080 for UEFI.
About the nouveau driver, I need 3D acceleration to play games so I need the proprietary driver.
So I decided to test the X server to see if something got wrong.
I uninstalled the nvidia driver and reboot to have my framebuffer back.
Then I edit the ~/.xinitrc file :
xterm & sleep 10
I reinstalled the nvidia driver and reboot : GRUB, then framebuffer for 1 second, then a black screen.
I tried to log in: login + [Enter] + password + [Enter]
I waited 2s then I entered the "startx" command.
And the xterm window appeared. And the best is after the 10s the X server shuts down and the framebuffer was back !!! Unbelievable !!!
So I continued the installation : Gnome + Gdm.
After the reboot : Grub, then framebuffer for 1 second, then a black screen, then Gdm login screen !!!
So it seems to be a problem with nvidia driver and the framebuffer.
After the Gnome + Gdm installation I managed to display the framebuffer in tty2. But I don't know if tty2 was working before (when tty1 only display black screen).
My conclusion and installation tip is to not reboot after the nvidia driver installation and to install a desktop environment + a display manager and to pray to not have problem.

Possible HDD problem - clicking sound and system hangs on Qosmio G30-116

Hi,
I just got my G30-116 back from service (screen replacement) and after 2 days another problem. It just keeps hanging out.
I did not change a thing since I got it and now it just stops working on occasional things like browsing the internet. It has not happened before. And my biggest worry is the clicking sound that my hard drive makes.
What can be wrong? It did not crush before I have sent it to service, not I think my hard drive is faulty... Thanks

What to say? If you can not find out why freezing problem occurs try to preinstall OS with delivered recovery DVD.
Anyway according to your description I am afraid there is some serious problem with HDD and it can be just worse then now. Please be sure your data are backed up.
Please contact service again and explain them the situation. If the HDD is defective you will get new one and if they have the HDD on stock it can be replaced very fast. G30 is very nice unit and I hope you will be satisfied. Few days ago my friend has visited me and we have tested his G30 with HD-DVD drive on my LCD TV. I just can tell you one thing: I am really impressed about HD picture quality.
Good luck!

PC Suit and system hangs (win XP-Professional)

The time i switch on my pc suite it hangs also the entire system. I am not even able to open the task manager. The only solution is the hard boot.
Same is the case when i plug in my E61I phone via usb cable.
Have already installed the latest version couple of times, removed even the registry settings..but the problem remains...
Please help...thanks...
Regards
Arif

I installed latest version, Nokia PC Suite 7.1.18
I have Windows XP, SP3, just installed.
¿ It's needed .NET Framework 2.0 or 3.0 ?
Every time I starts PC Suite, the computer hangs.
Thanks in advance

CAS Latency reading incorrect and system hanging

well i searched (maybe not enough) and tried a few things, but i'm stuck.
at BIOS post screen shows memory CL3, regardless that i have set CL to 2 and ddr voltage to 2.6
memory:
Kingston Hyper X
KHX3200A/1G CL2
2-3-2-6-1
2.6V
2x1GB Stick of PC3200 DDR400
MoBo:
k8t neo-fis2r (6702)
hdd:
200GB Maxtor SATA (on the VIA slot)
OS:
windows xp pro sp2
also this issue which may or may not be related... after my windows login screen my desktop background comes up but nothing else, and hangs like that for a few minutes, then all of a sudden the rest loads up. maybe 1 out of every 30 bootups the computer boots right through without hangs.

Ahh I think I have the answer. A64's can handle up to 4 banks of RAM at the rated specs without dropping back to a slower speed. In Kingstons own specs they show each of these DIMMS at 4 banks each so by using two you have 8 banks of RAM. So your forcing the CPU's memory controller to drop back to get the rated timings. I would get better RAM if it was me. Most 1GB sticks are 2 Banks each so you would stay at the rated speed easy with 2GB of RAM. I know the RAM I have works on that board at the rated speed even though it requires a tad more voltage. I have tested them and had no issues.
http://www.valueram.com/datasheets/KHX3200A_1g.pdf
Keep in mind as well that the memory controller is not on the MB but rather in the CPU with any A64 CPU. The only thing the MB does is to keep Bios settings about the RAM which it sends to the Memory Controller at startup. However if the specs are wrong the controller will either balk and not post or it will force the RAM to drop back in speed to work.
I know this also may help. As you have an A64 stay away from any type of Value RAM as it always seems to hold unpleasant suprises. Stay with a good quality RAM as there is very little difference in prices but can have many issues if you try to save a buck or two.

Solve Drive self-ejects and System Hangs when using MULTIPLE external drives!

I've discovered what I think is the underlying reason for many folks reporting similar problems. I bet that I can predict the GUIDs of the drives/docks/cases you're having trouble with! I bet that if you look in Disk Utility, if you click on the drives, you'll find "Connection ID 13757101839304263"!
Oh and if you look in System Profiler and click on 'FireWire' or 'USB' you'll find the GUID 0x30E002E0454647 !
What are the odds? I shouldn't be able to predict them; theyr'e supposed to be unique, after all, but google that number and you'll see that a great many devices all use that GUID.   (13757101839304263 in decimal is the same thing as 30E002E0454647 in hex.)
Mac OS seems to rely on them to be unique, and has fits when they aren't. I haven't found a total solution yet, but in the meantime, running this in Terminal can help:
sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/IOFireWireFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleFWOHCI.k ext/
Sometimes it helps to run this first to unload before loading the kext (kernel extension):
sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/IOFireWireFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleFWOHCI.k ext/
Enter your password if/when prompted, of course.
In most cases, if you contact your hard drive manufacturer, they'll provide a utility that will fix the drive so that it actually has a truly unique GUID.
I'm mad at Cavalry for hiding the problem and refusing to fix it, W.R.T. the two 1TB HDs I bought from them for around $500, when that was the going price.
I figured it'd be helpful to create a user tip off the discussion in this thread: Disk Drive ejecting itself - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2151621?start=615&tstart=0     This is my first attempt to create a tip. I'm not sure I'm doing it right, but here goes.

Sorry but this is just a really bad idea.
1. The airport is ancient.. your speed will be terrible.
2. Hubs filled with USB drives are never reliable.. disks refuse to spin up.. become unavailable.
No.. don't do it.
Plug USB3 hub into the mini and use multiple decent hard drives .. that is fine.. use thunderbolt hub.. use thunderbolt drives if you can afford it.. but never use USB drives on the network.
3. Time Machine is not reliable to external drive on Airport Extreme.. Apple do not support it in any Extreme except the latest one.
If you want the material available to the network buy a NAS. You can buy a cheap NAS of 8TB or so and another 8TB of USB drives which you plug into the NAS for backup.. however.. iphoto is not supposed to ever be put on network drives..
Apple explicitly states you will corrupt it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5168 Although mostly about FAT32           it adds network drives.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1198
And I quote
It's recommended that you store your iPhoto library on a locally mounted hard drive. Storing your iPhoto library on a network share can lead to poor performance, data corruption, or data loss. If you use both iPhoto and Aperture with the same library, using a Mac OS X Extended formatted volume is recommended. For more information, see Aperture: Use locally mounted Mac OS X Extended volumes for your Aperture library.
For backup of the drives.. use Carbon Copy Cloner.. it is much better than TM as you can setup different job.. TM is really a single function.. !!

Are FF4.0.12 and Adobe win,2,159,1 compatable? Since I updated both 5 days ago, I cannot use Facebook or play games. Adobe says it is a FF4 problem so I downloaded 3.6.17 but no help. System hangs.

XP, 128 bit,ff3.6.17 now but no help.
Since I updated both, in Facebook my system hangs repeatedly
Only hard reboot and open new session will let me back on. I have been talking to Adobe support for 3 days and got the advice to put FF3.6.17 back on. It is worse when trying to scroll or trying to play a game. Cursor freezes and system hangs. I need some help pls. Which plugin is best when trying to use facebook and games on FF4.12? DOESN'T ANYONE KNOW OF ANY HELP? Just give me the name of a plugin that FF likes and a Web address. I need to be able to use my browser and would like to play some of my games. PLEASE!!!

Hey, I really need some help. Doesn't anyone know?
Just tell me a plugin that will work and not hang FF and give me a website. PLEASE.

Random system hang-ups with Kernel 3.2.1-1 and catalyst 11.12

Hello,
i have a very strange problem for the last month or so (i'm afraid i cannot say, when it exactly happened the first time or if it was after a upgrade): My system just randomly crashes. I haven't yet found out when it exactly crashes and how to reproduce it. But it happens almost every 2-3 days.
When the system hangs up, the last second of sound repeat over and over again. I can't move my mouse anymore as well as typing has no effect. I cannot change to another terminal. I cannot ssh into the laptop nor can i ping it.
In /var/log/messages.log, there is nothing usefull.. It just ends with the old kernel messages and then the new ones, when the system restarts. No error or so.
System runs on a Thinkpad X121e with AMD E-350 CPU. I have installed catalyst 11.12 with xorg-server 1.11.3. I will now compile catalyst 12.1 and see if it happens again.
Does anyone have a clue why the system crashes? Has it anything to do with catalyst?
Best regards,
pyro

isofluran wrote:Again, as I metioned before, the problem is likely not a hardware one but it is actually related to the kernel update (2.6.19) or to an update which was performed at the same time.
Can anyone give a proposal for a step by step procedure to isolate the problem?
As I don't believe these crashes are related to anything but the kernel, one way of debugging your issues could be:
* boot Knoppix
* zcat /proc/config.gz | some non-volatile media
* boot arch
* get the current ABS
* replace config in kernels/kernel26 with the one from Knoppix
* makepkg
* install and test
When that kernel runs, try to diff the two configs and see what's changed in arch. Also comparing both kernel versions if no significant changes exist might hint on the kernel being the problem.

Mac pro 5,1 / 10.8.2 / 10.0.7 - while working in fcx and the program and the system hangs (freezing)

mac pro 5,1 / 10.8.2 / 10.0.7 - while working in fcx and the program and the system hangs (freezing). Only moves the mouse pointer. In addition to disconnecting from the mains, nothing helps! what to do?

Yes, it would if you ran it on the new MBP which is the reason I am saying install rather then clone.
If you clone then you are only getting the same code as the old MBP which probably will not have the correct drivers.

b,
The install was from my original Dell XP Pro-SP1 'Reinstallation' CD along with the complete MS XP-SP2 download that I burned to another CD. I also had all the latest Dell drivers from their website burned to a CD. Install went as follows:
- Format HD
- Install XP Pro SP1
- Install SP2
- Install Dell Drivers
- Obtain any MS patches from their site
- Install Office
- Update Office from the MS website
- Install iTunes
- Tweak MS settings
- Install many software programs
- Make an interim Image of system and store to ExHD
- Install other software programs (mostly security programs)
- Make another 'complete' Image to ExHD
- Restore backup data and music
After additional testing last night, I determined that it is not iTunes at all (or to blame). I get intermittent hangs/freezes/pauses in other media players (WMP, etc.).
Seems that something is causing the 'System' process to periodically jump up in CPU %age (though not more than 30-50%). Even this relatively small amount is enough to pause the playback of music or video, hang the mouse movement for a brief moment, or delay a menu opening. All very subtle - you have to be looking for it to notice (except with real-time audio-video, which is quite noticeable whenever this happens).
I had this problem a year ago, which is why I reimaged then and stayed with SP1 on the advice of Dell and Webroot. I'm stumped as to where to look for the culprit. Every time I go back to the original HD with SP1, everything runs smoothly. Some sort of system call is generating this complete pause....
I'll be limited in my Internet ability for the next several days, so I may be out of touch until Friday. I'll keep testing and playing with the limited equipment I take along....
Any thought you or others want to toss out, I'll attempt when possible.
Thanks!
