After 2 RMA for fan failures

Hi
Bit of a long story.. but before my last return for fan repair, I kept getting driver stopped errors, I presumed this was due to overheating but the problems are still there
I never had this fault occur once when I had another NVidia card installed ,whilst card was being sent away, I get a black screen whilst in game then ctd
I have e-mailed MSI and they told me to use this forum, or tech support which I could not find on the site, so here I am...I have tried the following solutions..
Microsoft fix ( registry TDR I think)
removed all old drivers(Driver fusion)
reinstalled new driver
the card is not overheating btw...Fault msg is;Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered.
here is some info ;
Model                : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 950 @ 3.07GHz
Logical cores        : 8

 Any help much appreciated, thanks in advance

 Hopefully this works,, also I've just enabled voltage adjustment and dropped from 1.012 to 1.000, and its still doing it
or this maybe

oki, try apply 1050mV or 1062mV and retest.
[increase the voltage, do not lower it]

Ive now tried the card in another system and still getting the same fault

    Hello astrobilia,
    Let's start by checking your BIOS settings since you have already inspected the CPU Fan.
    This HP troubleshooting article should help us
    Error: CPU Fan Failed
    If you are unsure about the CPU Fan settings or you don't see the settings. Navigate through the menus and reset the settings to default.
    After resetting the BIOS try booting the computer and monitor the results. 
    That is the easy fix before we start looking at having to replace parts.

  • "Fan Failure" and strange revving noise

    Hi everyone,
    *I'm noticing some troubling stuff from my Dual 1.8 PowerPC G5:*
    -Console is reporting "Fan Failure" literally every second.
    -Persistent high/low revving noise (recording: http://mg.freeshell.org/g5sound.mp3).
    -iStat Pro reporting 76rpm slot and 51rpm backside (temp range of 29-37 degrees celsius under load).
    *So far, this is what I've done:*
    -Tested with Apple Hardware Test and Tech Tool Pro. Both found no errors.
    -Checked that all fans appear to be spinning.
    -Insured red light on logic board isn't lit.
    -Tried to pinpoint the source of noise. Hard to say, but sounds loudest by the dual processors.
    -Reset the PMU.
    -Reset the PRAM.
    -Reset the NVRAM (via open firmware).
    -Reinstalled OS X Leopard via erase/install; installed all updates.
    *More background info:*
    A week before the "Fan Failure," I noticed a BIG drop in speed/performance. I installed more RAM by temporarily moving the front inlet fan and I also cleaned the inside of the machine with compressed air. After this, I noticed the machine lacked the normal revving sound on startup. I reseated the front inlet fan and startup sounded okay, but then the G5 proceeded to freak as described. I removed the new RAM, but problems still persist.
    *Any ideas? Please advise.*
    I'd really appreciate the help.

    Dear Afri,
    The only thing I can think of is not a failing fan, but a failing logic board sending the wrong values to the fans (iStat reports the instructions passed on to the fans, the fans do not report back the actual speed).
    Although the temperatures seem normal, 76 and 51 rpm for the mentioned fans is far to slow. The slot intake fan of my late 2005 G5 turns at 1500 rpm and the backside fan at 1000 rpm all the time.
    Did you check the new RAM in the system profiler, because that also could be the cause of many problems.
    I'm sorry I can't provide you with a definite solution.
    Success finding the problem,
    Robbert

  • Neo2-FR won't power up after sitting for ~3+ standby - if less, it does power up

    Hi all,
    I had my Neo2-FR for about three months and have been working well going into standby (S3) and restarting by pressing the power button, until last week when I replaced the CPU fan with 120mm Scythe Kama PWM fan.  I don't know why a fan would prevent the PC from Powering On, so I'm baffled.  Even more bizarre, it works fine if when the PC goes into standby and brought back up in less than 3 hours or so (an estimated number).  So, this mainly happens when I go to bed at night, I press the standby key on my keyboard and the PC goes into the S3 state.  When I wake up the next morning, I press the power button to wake the PC and NOTHING - no boot, no power.  I have to unplug the power cord and leave it out for few minutes and plug it back in and then everything works fine again.  Here are the details.  Please help!!!
    My PC Spec.
    Mobo:  Neo2-FR (v1.2) BIOS Ver 1.85 (beta) - This hasn't changed.  It was working fine before the PWM Fan.
    Video:  ATI HD2600XT 256MB DDR3
    PS:  Antec EA-500 (500w)
    OS:  XP Pro SP2 & Vista Ultimate (dual boot)
    CPU:  Q6600 B3 (333x9) 3.0Ghz - 1.325v (this is the same as before the Fan)
    Heatsink:  Tuniq Tower with 120mm fan with fan control (comes with the HS).  I replaced the fan with above mentioned Scythe Kama PWN fan and the problem started.
    Memory:  Corsair CM2X2048-6400C5 (2GBx2).  The setting is at SPD - 800Mhz, but voltage is set to 1.9v
    HDD:  2x500GB Samsung 501LJ in RAID 0
    DVD RW:  NEC DVD-RW
    Everything is exactly the same for HW, SW, and BIOS setting before and after the PWM fan install, except for the following.
    1.  Replaced the Tuniq's stock 120mm fan (3 pin header with rear mounted fan control) with Scythe Kama PWM Fan 120mm.
    2.  When the fan was replaced, I changed the following BIOS Setting:
        a) H/W Monitor Menu:  Enabled "CPU Smart Fan Target" and set it to 40C
        b) Set the "CPU Min.FAN speed (%)" to "50%"
    Only weird the that existed from the very beginning, but I never follow-up since the PC worked fine is the LED Status Indicator (LED3).  The manual (on page 2-23) states the the LED3 "lights when system is on standby mode", but on my board, this light is always on.  Doesn't matter if the PC is ON or STANDBY or OFF.  As long as the power cable in plugged in, the light is on.  Also, the light never changes color - it's always red.  Is this normal? 
    This is really difficult to troubleshoot since I have to wait 5 hours or more to see if my changes fix the issue.  So far, I've changed various setting in the BIOS, but nothing helps.  To be honest, I'm not sure what to try.
    Thanks in advance for the help everyone!
    UPDATE:  I've given up on BIOS setting and switched from fan header from the 4pin CPU to Sysfan5 (spins a full rpm with no fan control) and the PC boots fine.  So, I guess by next step is buy another PWM fan to rule out the fan.  If the 2nd PWM fan does the same thing, can I assume the motherboard is defective?  Or is this a bug?  Just to be sure, I'll leave the fan connected to Sysfan5 over night tonight.
    UPDATE2:  This morning, the PC booted just fine when the Kama PWM fan was connected to the a sysfan5.
    If someone is using the stock CPU HS and Fan which uses 4pin PWM fan and they're able to use S3 (sleep and wake) properly, please post.  If so, I can assume the motherboard is defective.

    I made what I consider the dumbest of all mistakes in that I did not "correctly" follow instructions. I knew that I needed to unplug the unit to let it "reset", but I failed to completely disconnect all the components. The unit was obviously getting some trickle from the battery in the router that also controls my phone. The lesson here is that when you disconnect the power to let it reset, be sure that it is completely disconnected. Lesson Learned! Thanks for the help.

  • Prime Infrastructure 2.1 - Fan-Failure SNMP-Trap Issue

    Hello,
    I am facing the following Prime Infrastructure (v2.1) issue:
    - A Fan-Failure SNMP-Trap from a Cisco 3650 switch doesn't appear on Prime, but a Link-Failure from the same switch does.
    - The both events appears on Prime with Syslog.
    - The command "snmp-server enable traps envmon fan shutdown supply temperature status" is set up.
    - The switch is in "Managed" state in PI, I have checked the ACL at the "snmp-server community" command, it is okay.
    - I have set up an SNMP-Trace for the switch on PI, but only "SNMP Null was returned for class com.cisco.server.managedobjects.bridge.Fan3KStats attribute fanIndex" arrived. Please find the log below.

    It seems like PI and the switch doesn't understand each other concerning the fan...
    Thanks for any ideas, comments and feedbacks,
    Csaba

    I have the very same problem.
    The switch has a power supply error (one of the two is down). There is the syslog message in PI about it, but no event has created, so nor alarm is there as well.
    When I check the status of the switch in the Device Work Center, and choose the Environment in Device Details I can see that PI has not realized the power supply error.
    However when I click on the Sync for this very device the power supply status is updated, but still no event or alarm.
    This is the case with the FANs as well.

  • Need RMA for sick Z30

    Seems like I'm having serious issues finding the correct place to request an RMA for my Z30, so I thought I'd try here. I'm a Verizon customer who sold his iPhone to return to Blackberry and support Blackberry through this troubled time - and Verizon is refusing to help me because I bought the Z30 from another Verizon customer fleeing Blackberry back to Apple (because I didn't buy it directly from them, they are refusing to repair). So, I'm asking blackberyr directly for an RMA for my Z30. This morning, I took the Z30 off the wireless charger and the red LED was blinking 4 times in succession, repeatedly. Attempts to reboot or turn it on failed. After reading through the forums, it was sugggested that I reload the OS from Blackberry Link. I've done that twice today, both times not restoring backups and setting up from scratch with no apps, just my exchange accounts. Each time, I end up in the same place - a black screen with the red flashing LED. Yes, the battery seems to be fully charged (100%) as I left it charging while the exchange accounts sync'd up. This doesn't seem to be a battery issue. I'd like to know what I have to do to get a replacement/RMA to get my Z30 repaired. 
    Thanks in advance for help/guidance!

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Sorry to say, but I don't think you have any warranty at all. BB supports a 1-year manufacturer warranty, but only as extended through the original authorized sales channel to the original purchaser.

  • [Radeon] MSI RX9800 128MB WORSE After RMA

    After months of unsuccessfully troubleshooting my 3d artifacting problems (random triangular polygon stretching that would only occur while playing games) with my never overclocked MSI 9800, I finally gave up and RMA'd it last week.  The RMA process went without a hitch and only took a little over a week.  It should be noted that I had to "rollback" to my 3 year old OEM Gateway GeForce 3 during the RMA (which still works just fine, imagine that), so no Battlefield 2 for me...
    Finally I got my card back and I swapped it back into my machine.  I anxiously pressed the power button only to see that the Windows XP boot graphic (the one with the blue loading bar) had large chunks of artifacting on it.  How can that be?  Windows loads and I see little blue and red blocks popping up around the screen, along with other artifacting in menus, graphics, etc.  How did the RMA make my card even WORSE?!  It may of had problems in games before but it NEVER artifacted in Windows. 
    I started a game up just to see what would happen and the intro movie had a large red triangle covering half the screen.  When I actually got into the game itself the screen went black and had about 6 small squares of distorted pixels.  I tried to Alt-Tab out of the game since I couldn't see anything on the screen and when I got back into Windows the screen was completely covered with artifacts, so bad I couldn't even see where to click.  The mouse pointer (what was left of it...) was even covered with artifacts.
    Long story short, RMA'ing my card to MSI cost me shipping charges and made my card EVEN WORSE than it was before.  RMA is obviously not a solution for this card anymore and I will be contacting MSI for a replacement card.
    I really hope no one else has a similar experience when RMA'ing their product to MSI...

    Richard,
    I didn't ask anyone for help with troubleshooting my problem and rudely asking for my system specs via metaphor isn't exactly helping things either.
    System specs are irrelevant in the case of the RMA for a very simple reason:  Nothing changed in my computer from the time I RMA'd the card to the time I got it back and put it in.  The only thing that got worse was my video card, which simply means the video card IS the problem.  Believe me, I tried everything to get this card to work..  like I said in my first post.  The time for troubleshooting is long since over, it's time for MSI to replace my card with a new one.
    I posted this here so other MSI customers could see what potentially could happen when they RMA their products...
    I'll be updating this thread after I call MSI tomorrow.

  • Fan Failure

    Aloha all, my G5 started making a strange sound, sorta like whirrr, whirr, whirr, over and over non stop. Not loud, but definitely noticeable. I checked my logs and it shows "fan failure". My question is how do find out which fan has failed? Mahalo for any assistance. JB

    Yes I blow out dust every 3 months, this is part of the system log. It goes on like this;

    Hope this is helpful, I can't afford to loose this old machine. Will lack of fan kill G5?

  • ONS 15454 Fan Failure

    Hi! We're getting Fan Failure errors popping up on one of my 15454s, and I'm wondering if the fan try is hot swappable? I haven't been able to find any documentation that says yea or nay, and I need to schedule downtime ASAP if it's not. Thanks!

    The fan tray is hot-swappable. 
    The troubleshooting guide has the procedure for replacing the fan tray.

  • Spurious router fan failures?

    Hi gang.
    C3745-ENTSERVICESK9-M version 12.4(10b). ROM version 12.2(8r)T2
    This router appears to be generating spurious fan failure alarms. The fan assembly has been changed for a new one, the engineer checked and was satisfied that in a physical functional sense the replacement fan assembly was definitely working, but we now have all 4 fans showing as failed. We are being told that the replacement unit is believed to be part of a batch of faulty fan assemblies and that it was a known Cisco issue. ... Has anybody got any more information on this? *Is* it a known Cisco issue??

    3745 is quite an old model what went out of support
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/routers/ps282/prod_end-of-life_notice0900aecd80444877.html
    indipendetly from what the cause is, if you upgrade to a current model like an ISR G2 on which you can have a smartnet contract on it, to get guaranteed support, and peace of mind.

  • E4000 Key switch fan failure

    I have an E4000 that listed several failures in prtdiag associated with a failed PPS. The PPS in question was not working at all and I have not replaced it. Prtdiag is still listing Key switch fan failure and prom detected failure.
    Any suggestion on what might be the cause?
    Thanks

    I don't know which fan I need replace and  which fan is the FAN two, who can help me?
    2970 fans are NOISY.  So power it up and look for the one that's not spinning or is the most quiet one.

  • Freeze up after using for awhile...

    I am having issues with my iBook freezing up after using for awhile. It will start up just fine, programs run just fine, but when i've been on the internet for a while (or typing in Word or anything requiring a significant amount of memory)my iBook freezes up and there is a periodic clicking noise coming from the lower left hand side (by the vent). I've tried resetting the memory and that didn't seem to help anything. Once the computer is frozen it is down for a while. It will only start up after it has been disconnected from any power source overnight. Then everything runs fine for a while and then the clicking begins again. Does this sound like an overheating issue, harddrive issue or software? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    iBook G3 (white)   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Thanks for all the help! Here's an update.
    My iBook now refuses to safe boot but instead will boot up normally! I haven't had any issues with it freezing up but I have only been using iTunes to transfer music to my ipod.
    The S.M.A.R.T. status of my drive is "verified".
    When attempting to boot into "safe mode", the loud clicking happens immediately but stops after about a minute or two and then the grey apple and progress indicator appear. It will stay like this for a couple of minutes and then it automatically restarts and will boot up into the normal mode.
    When attempting to repair my drive via the system disk, I get the error message that the underlying task reported failure on exit. Written in red in the message window is "Keys out of order".
    Also, the archive and install feature is not working. It tells me that there was an installation error and to retry installation.
    I will look into expanding the memory and additional disk repair software.
    I connect to the internet via ethernet(cable modem) and/or airport.
    Thanks again for all the help!

  • Compaq presario cq56 black screen on boot up after replacing the fan and keyboard

    Hi the cpu fan on my computer died, so we replaced it and i took the opertunity to replace the keyboard at the same time.
    Now the fan works just fine the blue/white power button works, initially the caps lock button came on and stayed on but no longer comes on at all.
    I am quite the novice in all things computer so think i may have done something stupid, and fried the motherboard, but if anyone could come up with something for me to try before i have to go through replacing that bit i would appreciate it.
    Oh i have tried an external monitor and it says recieving no signal on the screen.
    Thanks for helping

    Hi @carriebevan
    Welcome to the HP Community! I saw your post regarding the problem with the notebook going to a black screen after replacing the fan and the keyboard. To be honest with you there isn't a whole lot that I can do for you in this manner. Try seeing if you can get into the operating system using Safe Mode. If you can then we can look at a couple of things.
