Ask for help: NEW PC (MSI H97 Gaming3) would not boot

Dear all, I am skilled computer person. I my life I did build many computers. But this time I have an issue with power up and boot.
I have components:
1) new MSI mainboard H97 Gaming 3
2) new INTEL CPU Core i5 4460 BOX with default fan and heatsink
3) new MSI VGA 285 R9 (working in other computer so VGA is OK)
4) new 1600 MHz RAM ADATA CL9 2x4GB set. I also tried RIPJAWS CL7 2x4GB 1600MHz
To be exact I did test these two RAM sets: RIPJAWS G.SKILL F3-1280CL7D-8GBXM and ADATA AX3U1600W4G9-DMV CL9.
5) new 700W power source 90+ efficiency. I tried other Power source (got same error with MSI H97) which works in other computer, so the issue does not seem to be the power source.
This is the behaving of the new system: on Power ON the all componets switch on, fan rotate the Sound Boost light up in red, but all run only for 3s and than automatically switch off. After 2s it automatically start again and switch on for 3s and again switch off and on again and again and again same in cyrcle. When I push Power off button for 5s it completely power Off. The Debug LED blink for 16x times.
I tried to power on without the VGA MSI 285 R9. Same issue as with VGA pluged in.
When I put the RAM out, the computer starts and buzzer beep like there is no RAM, so normal behaving. But with RAM inserted it behaves strange. I did test two set of RAM with CL7 and CL9 all 1600 MHz. Is there any limitation for 1600MHz and CL ? Should I try 10CL or 11CL ? Or limitation in 2x4GB sets? I did not find any such information in any manual for the H97 Gaming 3 board.
I tried to reset the BIOS by shorten the pins, has no effect on the problem.
I was thinking about some low fan rotation protection but I do not think this should be a problem?
I can not find anywhere the debug LED coder for H97. There is no LED display like Z97 has, only one single led that blinks. In my case blinked 16x.
Can you help me? What can be wrong and prevents normal boot?
Thank you a lot
Otto

I have read this post https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=252119.0
there is about a hard plug of the 24pin power connector to the board. In my case the 24pin connector is also very hard to plug into the board. But I tried to plug it without damaging the board by force. So it should fit inside. But I will try to check again.

Due to recent security issues and identify theft (mostly due to phishing scams), the iTunes Store seems to be requiring more frequent verification of credit card information when a card is registered in your account, even if you have a balance from a prepaid card. Either just go through the verification process or, if you have a credit card entered and you don't expect to need the card anytime soon, go into the Payment information in your account and set the payment method to "none" which should then stop the regular requirements for verification (it may still ask - mine does - but you should just be able to click through the buttons without problems).
Hope this helps.

I don't know if this update involved rewwriting the entire operating system whereby you essentially transferred the software from one system to another, but if so, then you need to uninstall and reinstall the software and reactivate it using your serial number.

Even I cant believe this is happening again! i'm once again asking for help with my account. Since im very sick I ask that u look into my account and read the hell verizon has put me through and assist ending the hell once and for all even if that means ending my contract, i just want the hell over. I went into my bill tonight and the mess was still there I paid $110. that's what I owe

I guess I spoke too soon! I really can't believe this nightmare is not over yet! My account is still wrong. The credit that I was due totaled $63.00 I am looking at a message on my phone saying that $21.01 was credited which makes my balance $219.72. I received a text the following day that says, I processed your credit of $30.00 and your new balance $216.73 how is that possible? None of the late fees were credited and the amount due for my monthly charges are wrong. Before any changes were made to my data plan back in Nov. My monthly charges were $140.00, I needed my hot spot back and i was told that the hot spot will increase my bill $10 for each phone that totals $20. The customer rep that change my data plan at that time also gave me a credit of $20 to compensate for the increase until I had time to talk with customer service about the mix-up with my Hot spot. I originally had the hot spot, but the rep that change my plan almost a year prior told me nothing was changing except I was getting more for less money. I explained to that rep that I need my hot spot 4 times a year...and I don't want my plan to have any changes. To verify what I'm telling u check my account and see that I called from Albany New York wanting to know where my hot spot was and I was told I didn't have the hot spot on my account since the last data change! I lost money once again due to the verizon rep's. so my current data plan the rep promised would increase $20 which makes my monthly charges that were $140 prior to the change $160 after the hot spot was returned to my account. Then I was given a $12 credit per month for 12 months because of so many mistakes made to my account so with that $12 credit my monthly charges should $148 + surcharges + taxes and that's not what I see. I do know this much right now my account is in such a shambles I can hardly see the light at the end if there is an end! I need real help!

Problem with A300, Ask for help

Hello from Bulgaria!
In the beginning I want to apologize if I bother you at the wrong place. This was the only place i found in all your sites at "Contact us" menu. If I'm in mistake please redirect me to the right e-mail or topic.
I have extremely big problem with one of your products, and I'm afraid I can't solve him without your help. Few months ago I bought a laptop witch exact model is TOSHIBA SATTELITE PRO A300 - 1GQ. Model No.: PSAG1E - 00900NF3, Serial No.: 88549776Q. If you need another information I can tell you everything. Badly i got serious virus and the situation reach fall windows start. I know about integrated Toshiba Recovery and I used it. Windows Vista was successfully installed but the partion was not formated. Some of the system files was still corrupted and I resorted to Toshiba DVD comming with the laptop. I ran it, there was no problems until I saw Windows XP logo. I was pretty surprised because I expected Windows Vista like original one which came with the laptop from the shop. Another problem was that that installation formated whole HDD including partitions different from C:\ with Windows system files. All of my data is gone without I could be able to do something. However, th
e question is that I need Windows Vista very badly and I dont want XP. I tried to use hidden partition with Toshiba recovery again but I cant no longer access it. So I left with original XP with drivers integrated with it. The problem is that I need Vista with integrated drivers. It wouldn't be hard also if I found that drivers in your sites. Nowhere in your sites with download I could find the exact model to take it. The nearest was A210 which I think is pretty far from mine.
And it the end I ask for help if you can tell me where to download the needed drivers or anyway to put Vista back. Preliminary I thank you and I apologize again for the disturbing. I need that information badly and I don't know where I can get it from. At least show me valid e-mail to contact with Toshiba Support.

Hello, how are you? On September 13 I bought an iPad and in October bought a game on the app store problem is that when informed the card number dropped normally, but then went on to ask for a new form of payment because one had given any errors, and so not lowered any other game and not upgraded the already downloaded. I do not know what exactly I have to do, because if informed a new payment method continues with the same problem, checked the card bill and really had given an error, because there was no billed the game. I ask you to verify what happened and explain to me what I need to do, because my single card is Visa's and do not intend to return others to use the services of the App Store.
Thank you for understanding.

I think you need the app store support. http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/ Go there and use one of the methods to contact them about your issue and they should be able to help you out.

Deception, no or few replies to people asking for help

I'm so sad about this new forum. There are many questions asked and few replies or replies that don't go deep.
I remember that in the old forum there were very interesting discussions, very deep (technically speaking), I always found a solution or at least I found out that I wasn't the only one to have that bug/problem.
I could read some of the discussions, even if I didn't have that particular problem, only because they could teach me something.
Now it is difficult to follow what the people ask and what others reply. It's a sort of chat with 20 people who ask for help during the same minute.... how to follow that How to help?

And remember also that in Europe Apple and the Mac are not so important (or weren't before the iDevices). In the shops you couldn't find ONE webcam compatible with your Mac, ONE software for the Mac, ONE book, .. It was necessary to order the items on the Internet. No version of the State tax program for the Mac,... It is/was a fight, a challenge.
It was the same way in the US before the Apple Stores. There is nothing Apple can do about tax software. Contact the company that makes it and ask for a Mac version.
Here the price difference with the PC are enormous... in the United States the prices are more competitive.
Because the US doesn't have a VAT. I've been to Europe many times. Everything is more expensive there. I live in Canada now and it is much the same here. Currency exchange rates are meaningless. Everything is more expensive in Canada. If anything, Apple products are actually marked up less than other products.
And you also have some privileges: there are many promotions only available in the United States. You lose all your purchased music? In the United States there is a way to have it back with a click, but not in Europe. In your iTunes store there are many free songs and video,.... In Europe it's only a year or two that there is ONE free song each week.
I sincerely doubt Apple is responsible for that. Europe is a huge, wealthy market. Apple would love to offer Europeans the same deals that they do in the US. It has taken years for Apple to make agreements with all of the various rights holders to make iTunes the market that it is. Compare iTunes to the iBookstore. These things just take time. The European companies just don't want to make any deals.
Well, just to explain why Apple has/had a little part of the market here, and why it is/was difficult to find Apple products and help for Apple products.
Keep in mind that Apple's newfound success is due to its intense focus on devices for consumers. The PC industry is still 85% PC. Just try to use a Mac at work. I dare you. Given the entreprenurial nature of the US vs the heavily industrial nature of Europe, I can see why it would be worse there.
I forgot to say that to obtain help from Apple is very difficult where I live. No phone service from Apple, no chat with the customer care, no Genius bar (or very far away, 300 km), no companies that can help you if you lose your data from the hard disk. The Apple Store is in German and French and customer service people only speak French and German, and not Italian. If you want to speak Italian, you must contact the Italian Apple Store, but they can't help you with a problem in the Swiss Apple Store.
You have to find yourself the solution.
It is the same everywhere. Apple Stores are only in major markets. Many people in the US or Canada still have to drive 300 km to find one. I can't help much with the language. There are something like 500,000 Italian speakers in Switzerland. How many of them own Macs? If Apple hired some Italian speaking customer care representatives would they then have to increase the price for Apple products for everyone in Switzerland?
The best option for avoiding data loss is Time Machine.

I am writing to this forum to ask for help in determining whether Aperture will satisfy my needs when I switch from Windows to MAC in the near future.

I am writing to this forum to ask for help in determining whether Aperture will satisfy my needs when I switch from Windows to MAC in the near future.
I am currently using Photoshop Elements 8 on Windows 7. After several years of use, I am self taught and adequately proficient for an amateur. What I didn't realize (until I started researching my upcoming migration on the Internet) is that I actually use PE8 for two functions: digital asset management and digital editing.
Regarding Digital Asset Management: My research leads me to understand that PE on MAC does not provide the same level of organizational capability that I am used to having on Windows, instead providing Adobe's Bridge which does not look very robust. Furthermore, iPhoto, which come on MAC will not support the hierarchical keyword tagging that I require to organize my library of photos. The two SW applications which I am thinking of switching to are either Aperture or Adobe's Lightroom. Frankly, I'm thinking that it would be smoother to stay within the Apple product line.
So the remaining question is whether Aperture will support my digital editing needs. The tweaks that I do to my photos are not very complex (no, I do not want to put people's heads on other animal bodies). But could someone who uses Aperture tell me whether It will allow me to do the following kinds of edits?:
- If I have a photo where someone's face is too shadowed, can I lighten just that person's face, and leave the rest of the photo as-is?
- if I have a photo where the background is cluttered (eg, 2 people in front of the Parthenon which is undergoing renovation), can I remove just the construction cranes?
- Can it splice together several separate photos to give a panoramic?
If, once I get Aperture, I find that it cannot enable the kinds of editing that I do, I would probably get PE11 in the future. However, if people in this forum tell me that Aperture will definitely not support the kinds of editing which I've described in the previous paragraph, I would prefer to get PE11 with my initial configuration (since someone will be helping me with my migration).
Thanks in advance for your consideration and help!

I am concerned, however, about using a non-Apple Digital Asset Manager in OSX. I would really like to avoid integration problems. Is using PE11 to import and catalog my digital photos likely to cause conflicts?
Thanks for any insight on this
Amy,
Not so much conflicts as maybe a little less seamless integration with Apple software and perhaps some third-party software providers in the Mac App Store where some programs build in direct access to iPhoto and Aperture libraries for getting images into those programs easily. Typically, there is a manual command to go to Finder (think Windows Explorer) to browse folders.
One caution to mention however, is that the organization you set-up in PE Organizer is unlikely to transfer over to either iPhoto or Aperture if you decide to change at some point.
The only real stumbling block that I see in your opening comment is that you want hierarchical keywording (Kirby or Léonie can go into the details on keywording limitations as I stay at one level). If you can work with the keywording schemes of either iPhoto or Aperture, then using PE for your external editor (either program supports setting an external editor) would probably be ideal since you know PE well. This is the idea with the Mac App Store version of PE (editor with no organizer).
Note - I use Photoshop CS6 (full version) with Aperture and it works really well. The only downside is that Aperture has to make either a TIFF or PSD file to send to an external editor so that the original file is protected by not sending it to the pixel editor. While TIFF or PSD files protect the integrity of the image information without degrading it, they are typically much larger file sizes on disk than either RAW or JPEG files. Therefore, your library size (iPhoto or Aperture) will balloon quite a bit if you send a lot of files to external editors.
One other possibility for an external editor would be a program called Pixelmator. It is pretty similar to early versions of Photoshop, but built for Mac. Other than the panoramics you want, it will do most pixel editing that PE can do. It is not an organizer, so it is built to go with either iPhoto or Aperture. It does have differences in how you complete certain procedures, so there is bit of a learning curve when you are used to doing it the Adobe way.

Yes. We need more details...exactly what do you mean by "asking for a new ID"? Where do you see this?

How many times do you get a new iPhone because of manufacturing defects, before you can ask for an newer model?

You don't. Apple's warranty provides for replacing your device with an identical model (same model, carrier, capacity & color).
And you aren't getting a new iPhone. You'll be getting a remanufactured iPhone, which has gone through a more thorough inspection than any new iPhone ever does.
If you want a newer model, then trade-in or privately sell your current device and use the proceeds towards purchasing another device.

My work email is on my ipad. I changed my password at work and it is asking for the new password on my ipad. It won't take my new password and it won't let me out of the loop to even use my ipad for anything, including disconnecting my email. How do I by pass the email password question so I can use my ipad?

OK, thanks much. Checked andadjusted setting and now all works like before. And you introduced me to a nice security setting I did not know existed and one I can set up easily if i need to . Thanks again.

The only way to locate/disable/erase any lost/stolen iPhone is through Find My Phone or a similar app. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords.
