5700 die agaiN!!!

Was playing need for speed underground 2 the other day and noticed artifacts on the street lights, figured it was drivers (56.64) so I didnt worry about it, since I was lazy, was working in windows today and all the sudden the screen went int 320xwutever resolution on its own, windows also slowed down a lot! seemed like the card was throttling or something, ran a game while this was occuring, the game ran successful with many artifacts and small blocks present on the screen, turned off computer, felt the card, it wasnt hot at all!! heatsink was on nice and tight. My PSU has 22A on 12V line and this card functioned before, THIS IS THE SECOND ONE TO BLOW, I rma'd the first one, and received a new one back only to have it blow again in 3 months, what do I tell MSI, this is a 64bit version of the 5700 with 4.0N memory, the one that I guess was discontinued, should a demand a 128bit version, I was conned by the packaging/manual which told me Id in fact be getting a 128bit card, and if these 64bit ones are gonna keep blowing I dont know what to do, I dont want to RMA the card every 3 months, and according to what you guys said cards shouldnt die for at least 3-5 years. Kind of puzzled
also do you think theres anyway to solve this problem, the last card died during a game of warcraft, screen filled with grey and white lines, video memory I suspect, this one if functioning right now, but that little incident I just had tells me its going to die sooner than I think......
What do I do about this situation?

Hi, Abby. Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Yes, it's undoubtedly the logic board again.

You can reach Customer Relations at (800) 767-2775 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Pacific Time (two hours earlier than Chicago time). That number gets you "Legacy" (older hardware), and you may still have to ask for Customer Relations.
Good luck.

Kernal Data Inpage Error, No Bootable Device, Critical Process Died AGAIN! Please help!

I bought this S55-A5295 in July 2013. It started to have problems in April 2014. After 3 months of Critical Process Died, No Bootable Device, and having it shut down multiple times a day, I eventually convince service to take accept it because when I tried to do the recovery, the hard drive was missing partitions needed. (My $30 to ship, despite under warranty)
I received it back late June. The factory replaced the faulty screen (a different problem), but did not replace the hard drive. They supposedly "fixed" it, and added the needed partitions, should I need to do recovery again. I know that the partition was added because when I got it back, instead of being like new out of the box and ready to use, I was locked out because it was set to administrator and there was no option to access it, so I had to use the partitioned info. and do ANOTHER reset after getting it back from them. Not great service all around.
Now the laptop is out of warranty and I've started having problems again.
Sept. 16 -- I had a Kernal Data Inpage Error. The laptop made a horrible sound and shut down. At the time there was a Toshiba Canvio Slim II external drive attached.
Sept. 18 -- EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD 0xc00000bb the boot configuration data for your PC is missing or containing errors.
Sept. 19 -- Kernal Data Inpage Error. At this point I had removed the external drive, in case that was the problem. It wasn't letting me remove it earlier in the week. I didn't use it much over the next week.
Sept. 27 -- No Bootable Device.
Sept. 30 -- Kernal Data Inpage Error (volmgrx.sys)
Then Critical Process Died -- 3 different times
Then it restarted itself once without an error code.
Today, Oct. 1, I installed updates from Toshiba, including one fpr HDD and I performed maintenance. I tried to do the hard drive check, but the tabs in the instructions on the computer don't actually exist.
The directions: go to Computer, Properties, Tools tab (can't find it) , so no Error Checking and Check.
However, I did find, under Performance information and Tools my computer's performance rating. The Primary Hard Disk data transfer rate is 5.9.
So far it hasn't shut down today and hopefully the updates have fixed any issues, but I want to be prepared if they don't.
Are these errors coming from my laptop's hard drive? Is there a way for me to actually check that? Are the errors somehow connected to my TOSHIBA external drive? I haven't connected the external drive since the errors started happening, but i will need to use it again at some point, I just wanted to make sure the laptop was okay first.
Also, I am still running Windows 8. That's what they reset it to at the factory, and last time the issues seemed to correspond to me upgrading to 8.1, so I am wary to end up with a $600 paper weight again.
Please advise. Thanks!!

..went through the whole reset. ... ..do ANOTHER reset after getting it back from them
What can I say? The gold-standard test for a software problem is to restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents.
I'm a Windows specialist. Can't troubleshoot hardware.

Sorry to hear that. Did it by any chance get moisture on it?
i have plugged into 3 different computers including my mac.
What did/does Apple System Profiler say about it in teh USB tree when plugged in?
I just called Apple. They are sending me a new one. He said its a "software issue" when I read him my serial #. wow.
THAT's interesting. Would you share with us the serial number so that others might be able to address this issue with Apple support? I'm a bit skeptical about it being an unaddressed "software" issue, especially since it would seem cheaper to be fixed with a firmware update than incurring the costs of replacing affected shuffles...
coincidentally I went to walmart this morning and asked him if they knew of any issues. he said, the shuffle is nothing but problems but the nano is very solid. thats a total bummer as I really like the shuffle for my purposes (elite triathlete) and training.

Is my HD dying again???

So almost 2 months ago I bought a refurbished iMac. I do a heavy amount of music, and after about a week the HD started to show symptoms of death. I didn't know at the time, and I figured the reason it would lock up and need to be restarted constantly was because I was recording too much audio.
Eventually, it got to the point where I had to bring in the HD to get replaced, there's a lot more to the story but I don't even want to relive it, it was awful.
Anyway, whatever, so new HD, and I'm back in the game. A few minutes ago, I was recording as usual, and I got the dreaded "(Name of project) could not be saved." And I immediately knew what came next. Chrome would only display "Aw, Snap", and so I rebooted. Unfortunately, while rebooting, I got the kernel error thing with all the different languages at the Apple screen. So I rebooted again and it just stayed at the white screen. So I rebooted again into single-user mode and did a disk check, everything was fine but I saw "disk0s2 I/O error" a few times.
I exited and booted it back up. When I booted it back up it couldn't find my wireless mouse for a couple of minutes. Chrome still displayed "Aw, Snap". I repaired permissions and verified the disk. Everything was good. I start up Logic to see how much work I lost. It asked for my serial key. When my other HD was dying it would always do that with Logic.
Rebooted once more, everything's working fine again.
Look I guess I'm answering my own question here, and I suppose I need to back up everything I've got while I have a chance, but I guess mainly I'm looking for some reassurance. I've only had this thing for like a week since I got it back. This is breaking my heart. I can't just get a new HD every few weeks and go about installing 200GB worth of sounds and whatnot. Please someone tell me I'm crazy and things like this happen from time to time. The computer was working just fine until a few minutes ago.
Apple sure knows how to bring a grown man to tears, I swear.

Welcome to Apple Support Discussions.
Well you are wise to backup. Due to the possibility of two failures so soon I'd take a look at the power you are plugging into. If you are plugging directly into the wall or using an inexpensive power strip that could be creating problems for you. I would recommend buying a UPS that can support your machine, this will help provide more stable power to your machine.
Because HD's are mechanical devices they can go out at any time, some last weeks some last months and some last many many years. Unfortunately there isn't any way to predict their life span.
To check your drive run Apple Hardware Test and see if you come up with any errors.
Because your machine is covered by warranty and this may be the second HD failure when you take it into the Apple Store you should bring this up.
Regards,
Roger

IMac 2008 dying again for 3rd time in 2.5 years - same problem! what to do!

Hi all
I've just made another appointment to take my iMac to an apple store for the 3rd time in it's short life.
I brought this iMac Oct 2008 and within a year the hard drive failed completely (spent a few months fighting with crashes/slowness/freezing etc until complete blue screen) - took it into the apple store and they replaced the drive... within a year (and several months of fighting again) it failed again... they replaced the drive again... for the last few months I have been fighting with the slowness/freezing and crashes more and more and now it's practically unusable and the blue screen comes up after it freezes longer than it's usual time)
it's taken me over 45 mins just to make the appointment and post on here from the last reboot!
What I want to know is... is this normal? will they just replace the drive again and this scenario keeps playing out on a yearly basis? (actually it's less than a year each time this happens) The last time the iMac was in they had it for 2 weeks yet didn't fix the screen (they replaced the glass the first time in yet nothing was wrong with it... now I have these giant whitish smears top and bottom... and gray bits) and I have a deadline coming up.
I'm a mature student due to start my final project for a BA (I'm in line for a first so I don't want to ruin things now) (my project is stop motion which takes a long time to do... not a two week job!) and the deadline is just five weeks away... but the iMac just can't be used for long now so I have no choice but to send it in ASAP!
anyone have any suggestions... the people in apple just say it's the hard drive but how can the hard drives be failing all the time... it has to be something else effecting them.
when I run the repair or disc analysis it says it's fine which it did the other times... the guy in apple had to do a different test with some gadget to show the problem (I'm not that computer literate ;-D)
gargh... I have bald patches over this thing!
this can't be normal... I really can't afford to buy another computer.. I would like to finish my BA as well

I rang apple and they said it was likely to happen again as this was the 3rd time so they will be replacing the iMac - yay!! the thought of arranging a cab (I dont' drive and I'm not carrying it on the tube or bus!) and then a week or two later back again... then the same issue again and again was just depressing.
hopefully I won't be without a computer for too long - they have to pick up my old iMac and then arrange for the new one to be sent so might take a week at least.
New one will be a 27" 1TB HD, 4gb ram... only has one 800 firewire port but I think I can join my two firewire drives together so shouldn't be an issue... but I'll just be glad to not fight with my computer.. took 5 hours for a simple powerpoint presentation - I'm really not that slow!!
oh... and wireless keyboard and magic mouse - I spilt whisky on my keyboard and it's not been the same since.. so all new shiny computer on the way soon.. yay!
I'm very relieved... I would have taken the same specs but I guess they don't do that but the extra specs will be very nice.

Macbook pro charger has died again?

I was on my laptop this afternoon, with my mom and her friends cleaning the garage right next to my room, and someone messed with the power, turning it off in the house. They did this a few times. My charger was plugged into my laptop and the wall when it happened, and then it just stopped charging. No LED light either. Completely dead? What steps can I take to make sure it really is dead before having to replace it? I already replaced a dying one once, which only lasted me 6 months. I think I've had this one for six months too. The other one died out slowly though, while this one just suddenly went poof.
It's an "L" Style connecter. I noticed they last shorter than the older, "T" style connectors :/ I don't wanna waste another 70 bucks. Would they replace it free?
And I am using a 13" macbook pro

Hello PcktRckt37,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
I'd like you to reset the SMC as is outlined in the article below to try and resolve this issue of your battery not charging correctly.

MSI N570GTX-M2D12D5 dying again?

Hello,
I got a MSI N570GTX-M2D12D5 that was running fine until 2 week ago. Got a RMA on monday, everything was fine, played Deus EX all the week and then, same problems as the other one.
I begin to notice the problem when I'm browsing the internet, the "driver" crash and recover. Then, if I go to any game (even small game like Minecraft) or Kombustor, I see artefacts.
Now, I was trying to have the card "hold-up" until I get the new card, so I told my friend "I installed Afterburner and reduced the Memory from 1900 to 1700 and it's seems stable right now!". My friend when "The clock is supposed to be 950 Mhz". So we both think that's why my card died. Another guy come by and say "Hey, mine too is set at 1900, show I lower it?".
So, now I'm confused :
If I set Afterburner to 1900 Mhz, CPU-Z is showing 1900 Mhz clock (so 1900 x 4 = 7600 Mhz ), but GPU-Z show 950 Mhz...
If I set Afterburner to 950 Mhz, CPU-Z is showing 950 Mhz (so 950 x 4 = 3800 Mhz), but GPU-Z show 500 Mhz (and state that default should be 950 Mhz). (Also, I'm pretty slow in benchmark if I use this setting).
So, questions :
1) Who is right? Is the card supposed to run at 1900 Mhz or 950 Mhz (in Afterburner). I don't want to mess another card when I'll get the RMA back. Is 1900 Mhz OK and I just got unlucky with both card died ?
2) I'm also looking at getting a better cooling (cause maybe I'll save the next one), so I wish to buy a Zalman ZF3000F. I know that other brand still warranty the card if you have an aftermarket cooler... MSI does it ?
Oops, forgot my specs :
CASE : Antec 300 (+3x Noctua NF-P12-1300)
PSU : Antec High Current Gamer 620W.
Motherboard : ASUS P8P67 Pro.
CPU : Core i7 2600K
CPU Cooling : Noctua NH-D14.
RAM : 8GB (2x4GB) G.SKILL Ripjaws X DDR3-1600 9-9-9-24.
Audio: ASUS Xonar DG 5.1.
Video: MSI N570GTX-M2D12D5
Disques OS: Intel 320 - 160GB SSD.
Disque Data: Seagate 500GB SATA.
DVD-RW: Samsung SH-222A.

you mean, a bad PSU or an underpowered PSU ? specs of the PSU seems ok for the card.
I'll try it in my GF computer to see if it's working.

Yes, it looks, but you never know..

Fx5700 dying again...for sure

my latest incidents with my fx5700 prove my theory of it dying, the card has not died yet, but give artifacts once and a while and tends to go into standby mode (monitor goes off) daily while gaming, the last fx5700 I had did this as well before I rmad it, its an old discontinued model with 4.0ns 64bit ram, 425/500, never been overclocked, will they let me RMA the card in its current state (last one I sent back totally died with lines on screen lol), and two is there any way I can get it swapped for a different model? Like I would rather take a 5700LE or anything close, than this card , because from what im hearing video cards arnt supposed to die after 3months of use....MSI tech never replied to my first emails yet

Don't bother with e-mail. call them.

Died Again!

Well this motherboard lasted 102days. Yesterday my windows started bugchecking. I clocked it down restarted, then after a little while it died.
This is the second time it happens!!!!!
I bought this board beccause its supposed to be a great overclokers board, with lifepro components and stuff and stuff . how come it only dies on me? My first board lasted 2 weeks, I ran that board @4GHz and my memory modules had more volt than this last board.
I can guarantee that if I swap this board with a new, it to will crash and die.
Suggestions anyone? Shall I swap it with the new Abit IC7-Max3 board? Its clear that the motherboard is the weak link here...
The old board smelled burnt on the backside of the socket, but looked okay.

Well I happen to have the ABIT-IC7-MAX-3, With a 3.2EE onboard, and I must say that although I think the Board is Pretty Good, I dont think that even under the Best Circumstances that Phase Change or (Thermal Accelerated) Cooling is all that safe for any of the Current Boards out there, You say that your Last Board smelled like it was "Burnt" on the Back side of the CPU Socket, which leads me to believe that A) To Much V-CORE Voltage was applied to the CPU, B) That your Conensation Prevention Heater was not Working Properly, and water dammage caused a Short circut, or corrosion to a trace, or other componant .......I'm just trying to say that I fear that until these Motherboard Manufacturers start making a Product that is built stictly for that type of Radical Cooling, so that the PCB, and the Electronic componants onboard, are Built to operate under those Evnviromentel Conditions, Meaning the Constant temp. fluctuations, and the Condensation that that follows these changes must be addressed, whether this means some type of Water Proof PCB , I dont know, But what I do know is that under the Best of conditions Phase Change Cooling, is still in it's Infancy, and I'm sorry to say, but I believe that until they Make that "Heavy Duty, Water Resistant, Motherboard", that you will be replacing your Boards every Year or so .....I do NOT think that you will Fair Any Better with the ABIT...But thats just my Opinion.. .........Sean REILLY875

G5 died (again) :0(

Hi all
a desperate man here...I've had some problems this afternoon with my G5 tower (early 2005 model). Firstly my mac froze whilst using an application (just like the old pre OS X days). I had to disconnect the power (it wouldn't restart or shut down) and start it again but it wouldn't progress beyond the grey apple start-up screen. I left it for a few minutes but the fans began to really rev up so I disconnected the power again. I reset the PMU and the PRAM and had it back up and running only for it to crash again - this time the screen froze with loads of computer code splashed across it. Now it won't boot up at all.
When I connect the power the white LED on the front comes straight on (without the start button being pressed) and stays on until the power is disconnected. This problem happened last year and turned out to be a fault with the logic board which was replaced under the extended warranty. Unfortunately it ran out in March and I'm wondering if it could be the same problem?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
thanks in advance
steve

Hi Steve,
I've sworn off of posting on the forums but I owe you a response since you addressed me directly. I'm glad to do so, everyone here should be treated decently and with respect.
I know there will be objections and exceptions to what I say, but being on my second G5 and yet another problematic one I think I have the right.
I don't think,"lemon" is quite the word for the G5s, at least when they were fairly new. For more and more G5s however which are near or after the 3 year mark, many are becoming "lemons".
Since I've been having heat and fan problems since getting the used mac I have now, I've been doing a lot of research. The best (and simplest) reason that G5s aren't holding up is because from the start they produced too much heat. I've talked to experts who told me this was one of the main reasons they switched the later G5s to liquid cooling and then finally switched to Intel. And we all know the effects of too high heat on electronic and mechanical devices. It shortens their life considerably. Apple was and is aware of this problem with the G5s. That they don't address it for their loyal customers is a true shame, but not out of line with what more than a few Apple consumers are experiencing today. When I bought my PM8500 and then a G4, which still work great to this day, I was convinced that Apple was something very special. Their machines were expensive but they ran and ran well. Their customer support was great. Once when I was a newbie I was concerned that the monitor connection seemed to be rather unprofessionally hanging off the back of my Mac. A quick call to Apple Tech Support assured me that it was ok and that was that. I didn't have Applecare and I didn't have to give a serial number or anything else. Just a brief pleasant call and it was done. Try something like that today.
My first Dual 2.0 was DOA. Remarkably, so was the second that Macmall sent me. That one I took to a service tech since I had Applecare and it was fixed (new motherboard). But during that time I called Apple Support to ask a few questions of my "assigned" Apple Rep. He wouldn't even respond after my second call.
Sorry for the long post but since it will probably be my last I thought I might allow myself to digress a bit. I'm just very disappointed in the "new" Apple Corp and how they treat their customers, even on the forums.
I wish you the very best luck, Steve, and I hope your experience with the Mac Pro is much, much better.

Iphone totally dead. can't be restored. when i connected to charger, just apple logo show up and die again

always fail when i want to be restore

May well be a hardware issue. Make an appointment at your nearest Apple Store, for repair or replacement.
Cheers

My charger broke so I bought a new one and a week later it died again what's happening

Please help my charger broke after 1 week and after buying a new one

From whom did you purchase it?
Is it a genuine Apple cable?
Are you rough with the cable?
The Apple cable is covered by warranty.
I have been using the same cable for both my iPad 4 and 7G iPod Nano for over a year and a half

Macbook Died AGAIN!!! 2nd time this year.

I walked away to look at my daughter's new macbook came back and it was black screen dead. wouldn't start, chime anything. My confidence is shaken I'm gonna send her's back and get her a toshiba PC. I'm OVER this. I paid for some reliability but this is worse than anybody I know. People always ask if I like it but I have to be honest and say yes BUT it is not very reliable. The ibook I had before it was about the same it went in several times for the old screen chip problem. I guess I may just leave Mac all together. I hate that.

I hope you bought the system at frys oe somewhere where u get a full refund

HT201412 Iphone 4s just died.

My phone just died. My sleep/wake button is also broken and i have been using assist to turn put the phone to sleep. How do i see if it really is dead and get it turned back on. Its on

Hey neigh.oink and btacres thanks for the replies.
so I tried that link you posted, i tried connecting it to a wall plug and it turned back on but there's no signal. it just says searching and the wifi isn't working, as in, it doesn't give me the option to turn on the wifi... also, when i disconnected it from the wall plug it died again and didn't turn back on (despite the battery being 100%)..
This is really odd because I had the battery replaced last month...
I still don't know what to do.. it won't respond when I connect it to my laptop to restore it either!!
It's sad that I'm so dependent on my phone but I feel so helpless without it!

My first problem is that I have no apps on my iPod desktop. The second is that my battery died, and despite being able to charge it, it is unable to restart back up.

My first problem is that I have no apps on my iPod desktop. After using my computer to install something onto my iPod 5, it somehow disconnected. When i restarted the iPod, some apps (Safari, FaceTime, Game Center, App Store, iTunes Store, Camera, and some others disappeared. Apps like Flashlight and Jetpack Joyride which I had previousyl downloaded from the App Store were still there. I wanted to get the aforementioned apps back, so i decided to back-up my iPod to iTunes. The downloaded apps weren't able to be backed up ("authentication problems") but some apps like Tips, Video, iBooks, Reminders, Stocks, Settings, Voice Memos, were backed up. I then proceeded to factory reset the iPod, deleting everything and starting it as a new iPod. Once I finished this, I looked my desktop to see everything was gone, absolutely everything. I double-pressed the home button, showing Settings was open, but that's it. I opened settings and factory reset it again, this time choosing to restore from a backup. After doing this, I found the iPod looked the same as the last time i reset it - blank. If I scroll down the middle of the screen to bring up a search bar, I can find only the apps I backed up (Tips, Video, iBooks, Reminders, etc.) That is the first MAJOR problem. I was getting really frustrated, so I opened up iBooks and discovered I can download a could free books from the store, which was essentially the only thing I can use the iPod for. There were no videos in the Video app, and pressing the "Go to Store" button did absolutely nothing. No lag, it just ignored my touch. Once i found a few books, I decided to start reading. Eventually, i brought this iPod somewhere to read it, and didn't bring the charger with me. The battery died, and when i got home, tried charging it.
Which brings me to the second problem. A minute or so after I plugged in the charger into the dead iPod, the Apple logo came on. But the iPod never started up. The logo stayed there, getting dimmer after a minute, but no vanishing even after fully charging or pulling out the charging cord. It didn't leave even after hours, but by then the battery died again. If i press and hold the power button and the home button at the same time, the Apple logo disappears. But I can't get into recovery mode utilizing the volume buttons. If i hold the power button when the screen is blank, the Apple logo comes back. But the iPod cannot start up.
After everything was wiped, i was pretty angry. But I still had books to read, even if i couldn't do much else. Then the battery died, and it really wrecked me up. I feel so mad right now, although this actually happened about 4 days ago. The iPod being wiped happened about 3 days after the Christmas holidays began. This iPod also was not brand new, I bought it off a friend who had it for over a year, although it was in perfect condition (Obviously out of warranty.) I desperately need a solution to this HUGE problem. Due to personal reasons, I can't go to a Genius Bar or go to an Apple retailer in person, but communicating by E-mail is an option, as is instant messaging.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
The missing apps could have been done by setting the Restrictions that can hid those apps. If the backup was made with those retrictions set the the Restrictions are also restored.
Thus, if you get it to work restore to factory settings/new iPod, not from backup
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

5700 die agaiN!!!
