694T Pro double boot problem

I have a PentiumIII, 1gh, with a 694T MB. EVERY TIME I start my computer it takes 2 boots to get it to boot up. On the 1st boot the D-BRACKET stops at "Early Chipset Initialization" and goes no further. I then turn the power off and reboot and everything works fine. One other problem I'm having is when I am on the internet (Dial-up) "sometimes" I can't surf even though I remain connected. Thanks for any advise! Barry

post the full specs of the PC.

694T Pro: Hard Drive problem

Hey ho,
I'm swapping bits around in a couple of PCs atm. Pulled my 80 gig drives out of my aged P2-450 and stuck one into a P3-1000 running the 694T Pro motherboard. Currently that machine already has a 30g system drive and a 160g save drive (running at full capacity). I want to take the data off the 80g and stick it on the other drives as it's got all of my email etc. etc. I remember have problems getting the 160 to be recognised in the P3 and had to use a Seagate util to get it up to full capacity. The same goes for the 80g which was in the P2.
So, all of the drives come up fine in the Bios of the P3, no locking up. W2k boots perfectly. However, although the 80g drive is seen by W2k it says it needs formatting, which it does not. It's an NTFS drive, and it's set up as the secondary slave.
Pri master - 30g seagate
Pri slave - dvd drive
Sec master - 160g seagate
Sec slave - 80g seagate
Any ideas greatfully received. I know I've done this before.. like... twice, and can't for the hell of me remember how.
I cannot format the 80g and loose the data...
Cheers,
Mark.

Try jumpering them (Secondary IDE drives) to CS(Cable Select) mode.

My MacBook Pro has booting Problems, Light keeps on Blinking. What to do?

My MACBOOK PRO (Early 2011) is having booting problems. It doesnt want to be shut off. If I do shut it off it would take an hour for it to boot. The light keeps on blinking when i push the on button. After a few times of pushing the button and the blinking light the light keeps steady and the MACBOOK PRO seems to be turning on . A Whirring noise/ sound can be heard. I then turn it off and push the ON Button again and the MACBOOK PRO finally boots. The problem repeats again when i turn the unit off.
I already had it checked by APPLE but they said they cannot find anything wrong with it!! Any help will be highly appreciated.

Shut the machine down by holding the power button until the computer is off.
Release the power button.
Reset the parameter RAM by powering up the machine then holding the key combination:
<COMMAND> + <OPTION> + p + r until you hear the restart chime three times
Then perform a SMC Reset by following this procedure from Apple:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Lastly,
If you are running 10.5.4 as shown in your details... Boot to the System install disk
and select the language then select the menu item "Utilities > Disk Utilities"
repair permissions and repair the disk using the repair tool

Macbook Pro weird boot problems

Hello!
I have a macbook Pro (late 2012) with OS X Yosemite (latest update) and I have some weird stuff going on in it...
2 days ago, I was using normally it, as I use it for work, when it suddenly freezes (never happened before). when i turn it on again, a empty symbol shows instead of the grey apple until i turn it off.
then, when i opened the recovery mode to see if my HD was damaged or something, it just do not shows my HDD at all to verify for integrity. I trun it off and let it be.
After several hours later, i decided to try to boot it again, and, for my surprise, it boots normally and all my files are normal. But after 10-15 minutes backing up all my important files to cloud services, it begins to be really slow. The spinning disk is shown even when i tried to close a finder window, move simple pages files or even to open the top menu to shut it down. The weird part is going even crazier: when i put a freezing gel (a gel packet that freezes and thaw without water is involved) under the macbook, the slowness is off and it works almost at normal speed. when the freezing effect is off, the slowleness is back
All this parts repeats very often.. sometimes the empty symbol appears when booting, sometimes it boots normally and after several minutes it becomes really slow. I tried to diagnose if a hardware problem was involved (pressing "D" after pushing the power button), but no problems were found at all.
what is going on? do you guys even had this? I hope it´s not the logic board!
(Sorry for my bad english)

The startup drive is failing, or there is some other internal hardware fault.
Back up all data on the drive immediately if you don't already have a current backup. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional—ask if you need guidance.
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

Acrobat 9 pro double opening problem, in PS and Acrobat ?

I've seen other posts about PS refusal to open an Acrobat 9 pro file, and tried the suggestions for sneaking the file in by copying via Reader, etc. This drastically reduces resolution, and I'm creating a file for publishing. I also tried sending the file to a professional designer, who is using the latest acrobat on her end, on an Apple. She can't open my file either.
PS gives me the message: "There was an error processing the document. The file may be damaged or corrupted.
My designer, using Acrobat, gets the message: File is damaged and cannot be repaired.
As many people have noted, this did not happen with Acrobat 7. How do you get past this? Can it be the upgrading to Acrobat 9 renders the other Adobe programs useless unless they're upgraded as well? I thought only Microsoft did that.

Hi,
Without more information I am only guessing, but I suspect it's an issue related to the version of PDF and the version of Photoshop you are using. Although we certainly don't specifically work to prevent people from using different versions of the software together, this can result from version mismatches. For example, if you are using Acrobat 7, then I am guessing you might be using Photoshop CS2. Acrobat 9 (and more importantly PDF 1.8) didn't exist then, and there is no way to predict what cool things might be added to future releases—like the Flash player.
The good news is that you can essentially back-save a PDF with Acrobat to fix this. Try this: Advanced: PDF Optimizer: and choose Make Compatible with Acrobat 7 and try it again. If that doesn't work for you, repost with the following details:
Version of Photoshop
Version of Acrobat you are using
Attach a file if you can
And I'll try to see what's happening.

694T Pro wont boot!

PC just wont boot.
Doesnt show anything on the monitor.
Notice that the LED are Green-Red-Red-Red.
Refered to the User Manual, it says Early Chip Initialisation. What does it mean?
Notice that the Power LED(normally green) now shown too.
Thanks for responding in adv.
PC Specs:
P3 1GHz
Kingston PC133 256mb
Antec 350W PSU (new, 1wk old)
Maxtor 20gb hdd (working fine)

Try testing your CPU on another board and see if it works, if it does that means that your current mobo chipset is spoil. Check for any bad capacitors around the chipset area to see if they are bloated or burnt or worn out. Check underneath the mobo to see if there are any burnt marks.
All the Best... :D!!!

Boot Problems - Advice?

Ok, MacBook Pro having boot problems, any advice?
What happens:
I boot -- desktop background comes in. Cursor comes in. After a while, the icon for Spotlight and the right corner (right of the time) of the top bar come in. Nothing happens after that.
If I move my cursor over the fragment of the top bar, I get the rainbow spinner thing.
If I press eject, brightness or volume buttons, I get the translucent black square with the appropriate icon.
I can boot with Bootcamp and run Windows fine, but if I wanted to do that regularly, I wouldn't have purchased a Mac (ok, maybe I would have, but that isn't really the point.)
Anyway, I'm looking for advice -- most of the troubleshooting items that I've found in Apple's support seem to be focused on hardware problems (which this doesn't seem to be), and most of what I've seen on other sites is badly out dated.
Anybody have a fix? Thanks.

Did it ever boot normally?
Until today, it had never boot abnormally.
Did you install any new software or memory just
before this started happening?
I installed some fonts last night... no new software immediately preceding this, however. Norton anti-virus, Microsoft Office, and a nightly WebKit build last week, but I've used it without problems since then.
Have you launched Disk Utility from your install disk
(located in the file menu) and Repaired Disk and
Repaired Permissions?
Not yet -- I was still in the denial / hopefull thinking phase of repair. Will do that and post back here either way. Thanks.

694T pro boot problem?

I got a 694T pro and have used it for some years now without problems. When I went on vacation I unplugged the power to the comp. When I got back after a week the computer didnt boot up. When I pressed the power switch the green main power indicator lights up and the hdd indicator blinks orange on time. Nothing more happends. The hdd or cd-readers dont start. All fans are dead. The LEDs at the mobo all blinks red once and then goes black again. I had the computer plugged in for a while and then suddenly it started when I pressed the power switch. And then it worked for about a week. Then I went away for a week again and unplugged the computer and when I got back home again I had the same problem, but this time it dont start. What can be the problem?

A new battery didnt help :( Someone with more ideas?
What does it indicate when the leds blinks red once and then turns off? Cant find anything about it in the manual.
Another strange thing is when I have replaced the battery and unpluged the powersupply cabel in the mobo and then plug it in again, the cpu fan starts for half a second when I press the power switch but then it stops again.

Rebooting after it boot up once..[MSI 694T pro]

spec : PIII 1GHhz..
I busted my mainboard a week ago so I ordered MSI 694T pro to replace
well..it seems like working well
but after I leave the computer off for long time,
if I turn on the computer, the computer reboot itself automatically after it goes into Windows..
I thought it was ACPI problem. so I tried to flash the BIOS. I tried all version of BIOS, but none of those BIOS can't fix the problem.
Rebooting occurs only once when I turn on the computer.
After I can use without any problem.
Because of automatic reboot during booting up, Windows gets massed up...
is the board inferior? or is there any way to fix this problem?

I found the problem..
it was one of the memories..
One of those were broken. I tried switching network cards to find out the problems, but I couldn't find anything.
Finally, I parted everything and put those one by one..
oh my gosh...it was the stupid memory...
but still I have a problem
After I reinstalled win2k, one other blue screen msg came out.
Actually, it also came out when I used the broken memory, but I didn't mention about it b/c I thought every problem was from mainboard, which wasn't..
anyway, after I reinstalled w2k, it says this mainboard doesn't support ACPI, but it is supposed to be...
but this msg also comes out only once. After all, it never comes out again..but I just wonder why this happens
thx

I have an early 2008 Mac Pro, which has re-booting problems. Also what does the spinning beach-ball indicate?

Hi, I have an early 2008 Mac Pro which has re-booting problems.
Processor speed is: 2.8
Memory: 2GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
2 x 28GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon
I am running OSX Yosemite Version 10.10
My Mac Pro keeps re-booting. Last year I had to replace my graphics card. My original card was the ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 255MB, and that is what I have now. At this precise moment my Mac Pro is running perfectly, except that it is slow and the spinning beach-ball keeps appearing. I have managed to do some work with the disk utilities, verifying, cleaning and partitioning. Some errors were found and when it was cleaned this seemed to help my Mac Pro to function properly. Although I am able to use my Mac Pro now, from day to day I still experience re-boot problems. Also quite unexpectedly my mac dictionary has an error, it closed itself down and will not open at all, I had the message to say that a report will be sent to Apple.
I have tried starting my computer with an external hard drive fitted via a USB cable, I use for back-ups. This worked and I was able to wipe my hard drive clear and replace all info from the back up I had done only a few days ago.
This worked for a few days and then the same problem started again.
I am beginning to wonder if I need to buy a new hard drive.
If there is anyone who has some answers to help me solve my problem, I would be most grateful.
Robert

Windows 8.1 pro boot problems

I upgraded my OS on a hp pavilion g6-1d73us from windows 7 home premium to windows 8.1 pro and ever since I have had boot problems. I took all the software off since I thought that might be the problem but the boot problems persist. The computer's self diagnosis helps but I still have problems. Is my laptop incompatible with windows 8.1? Windows 8.1 was a download and I still have recovery disks for windows 7. I originally thought the problem was incompatible software but now I am not sure.

Hi @hifive11 ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I am glad you have recovery disks for windows 7, smart thinking. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion g6-1d73us Notebook and having issues with the Windows upgrade to 8.1. Here is a link to the drivers page for your product. I do notice there are drivers for Windows 8.The Updates you need for the system are the Chipset. These are located on the driver page link above.
One of the things that can cause an issue is things connected USB. The computer can not load the drivers so it causes an issue. Once the machine is up to date then return the USB devices.
Then I recommended to restore the BIOS to factory defaults.Here is a link to restore the BIOS.
You can do a system restore. System restore will help if something automatically updated and did not go well on the Notebook.
Please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Mac Pro Boot Problems. Kona 3?

I'm having booting problems with a Mac Pro. It's got a kona 3 card in one of the PCI slots, and we've been tinkering with it to try to get the audio to work right. However, I've been having huge problems whenever I try to restart the computer. After hitting the power button, or telling it to restart the screen goes to black and sometimes I hear a chime. However, the computer does not boot any further. Then, after holding the power button down and restarting the computer, I can sometimes get the computer to boot normally.
I suspect the Kona card is causing some of the problems. I have multiple hard drives on the system, and I have the ability to boot onto two separate drives in 10.5.8. Both drives are having the same problems.
it's a 2x2.8ghz quad-core Intel Xeon with 10gb of ram. The Kona card is in slot 2. Slot 3 has also been tried, but similar problems remained.

removed kona card. uninstalled aja programs. restart problems still persisting.

Mac Pro Boot Problems After 10.6.2 Update

After installing the latest version of snow leopard I am now having boot problems on my mac pro.
Symptoms;
-Screen resolution is incorrect at apple splash screen.
-Takes a lot longer than usual to boot.
-Once booted the blue tooth magic mouse isn't imediately reckonised, takes a while to find that.
-Once the mouse is finally reckonised it can move around but can't click on anything or bring up the dock. Tried a wired mouse, had the same problem.
-The keyboard is also not appearing to do anything, none of the shortcuts or quick keys work..
Had exactly the same problem after 3 restarts but on the 4th after leaving it for a good 20-30minutes it setled down and everything was working okay. However this is a recurring problem as I had the same thing yesterday...
I have a my 10.5.8 system backed up on an external so I am running from that at the moment. Don't want to go back to snowy til these problems are solved.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Martin

Try Safe Mode (It will take more time to startup in Safe Mode because it runs a directory check.)
Let us know.

694t pro 2beeps after bios upgrade

Hi,
I have an MSI 694t pro with a via chipset (vt82c694) and I was having problems with a sound card installation so I tried to upgrade the bios. I used the bios on http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download/dld/spt_dld_detail.php?UID=20&kind=1 which was file name 6309v75.exe
I unpacked the files and rebooted using a dos boot disk. I ran the command for the bios tool with the path for the bios file (can't remember name exactly but something like... a:\avpl??.exe a:\temp\nameofbiosfile.708
After rebooting I do not get any post... all I get now is an infuriating beep beep which happens in about a second, followed by a 1 second pause and then those two beeps in a second again followed by a 1 second pause and this goes on and on continuos. I seem to recall a SIS agp logo when the motherboard used to work. The lights from bottom to top und jacks on the motherboard light up red, red, green, red.
Does anybody have any ideas what this problem is and how to work around it please?
many thanks
Wayne

1st series iMac G5: Booting problems, kernel panics, waking from sleep...

Specifications of the iMac described: 1.8 Ghz, 1GB, 80GB, 64 Mb Nvidia VRAM, Airport, 10.5.5
Back in August 2004 my dad bought us kids an iMac G5 for ‘family use’. It had a fresh install of 10.3.5 on it and compared to the (1999) iMac G3 it replaced it was amazingly fast.
The iMac never showed any signs of probable issues, until we decided to upgrade to Leopard in January 2008. Initially, this upgrade was only meant to be able to sync with the latest iPod nano (who demanded a newer version of iTunes).
After the installation the first thing I noticed was a high CPU usage, the machine seemed slower than ever and that with 1 Gb of RAM (the minimum sys. req. for Leopard are 512 Mb of RAM). Anyway, then the real thing started, it wouldn’t turn on anymore. We brought it to an Authorized Apple Reseller, the Tech department said the Logic board had failed. The costs of the fix weren’t the worth the computer anymore, so...end of story. The iMac was indeed one of the bad series, although it hadn’t any swollen capacitors.
My dad already made up his mind and bought himself a Macbook. He then told me that if I was able to get the broken iMac fixed, I could keep it. And so, I bought an ‘as-is’ logic board on Ebay. Last weekend I installed it, and it actually seemed to work! Yet, the problems are during the startup: the first thing I see is a screen full with horizontal lines flickering all the time, like an old TV with bad signal. Mostly it won’t boot and I get the message to restart the computer (kernel panic, I got dozens of logs already!). Sometimes it got stuck during booting (grey apple screen with gear in the middle) making the fans go crazy (after a while) and sounding what others describe as a ‘jetliner taking off’ sound. Sometimes the screen remains black. Generally it takes me 5 to 10 minutes to start up properly. Maybe it’s just me but it seems like when the computer has warmed up a little (by turning on and off on and on) starting up gets smoother. I mean the startup screen suffers from less horizontal flickering lines.
During the use of Leopard, I again get high CPU usage, especially when I use multiple programs at the same time, or when starting multiple programs. My iStat Pro said once that the fans were running at 4700 rpm and the heat of the CPU was about 70 Celsius. If I really want to **** my iMac off I should play a racing game. That just totally freaks him out! These problems could probably be solved by adding more RAM. Right?
The iMac also has a sleep problem. Sometimes after lets say an hour or so, you can’t get it out of sleep mode (by manipulating keyboard and/or mouse, the sleep light stops, but the screen stays off --> only solution is to restart). What happened to me once was that it slept so long that it just got into a deep sleep by turning itself off completely!
Here’s a list of what I tried so far:
- Disk Utility: Resetting the permissions, no problems were found.
- Resetting the SMU, both on the logic board itself as by pressing the power button 5 - 8 seconds, no improvements.
- Resetting the PRAM, no improvements.
- Did the Hardware test of the original install CD, nothing was found, all good.
- Did Archive and Instal, this actually messed my system entirely, cause it wouldn't boot at all and when starting up from the Leopard installation DVD it wouldn't recognize the Macintosh HD.
- Did Archive and Instal with the original disks, this disk did recognize Macintosh HD and so I installed the original system, 10.3. Booting problems and those flickering lines are still there though.
Next phase will be erase and install, but first I want to know what you guys think about all this.
Oh eh, One more thing; The guys at Applecare (phone support) told me that the replaced logic board was also out of warranty and so they couldn’t help me. But as the man on the phone was kind, he told me to go look for a special ‘driver’ on the net. He said that the driver should be able to resolve some of the issues described. He said that I had to give in the name of the LB on google and look for results. Is this bogus? Because I haven’t found anything useful on google so far. What’s the name (rather than a number) of the LB in the first place?
I hope you guys can give me some answers. I'm kinda desperate. But I still feel there's hope...

The symptoms of a flakey power supply are sleep problems and you have done all the right things as far as resetting the SMU and PRAM. Your CPU usage can be tracked by going to Utilities>Activity Monitor - look and see what is hogging the memory. The flickering lines could also be an optical system going south.
The other thing you can do is run DiskWarrior or TechToolPro to see if you have corrupted directories. Preferential Treatment will let you check for corrupted preferences.
