Bios reflash now freezing/locking up issue help
# CPU brand, model and speed (AMD Athlon64 X2 6000+ Windsor core, 3.0 Ghz.)
# Motherboard model (K9A Platinum, MS-7280)
# Memory brand, type/speed, size, number of sticks (4x1GB Corsair XMS2 DDR2-800)

# Power Supply Unit brand and output in watts and DC output (amps) (Thermaltake 650w I think off the top of my head)
Ever since I had help form Bossman to fix my bad Bios flash https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=121102.0 I am experiencing random and frequent freeze ups. Could it be that I still have optimized defaults loaded through BIOS and something in my system cant handle the settings? Maybe I just need to load regular safe defaults and check it? Has anyone else had this experience? Do I need to reload my OS?
The screensaver has locked it up, and when i tried to play red alert 3 it locked up making a sound like a musical note being drug out. Mouse stops responding as well as the keyboard.
any help is appreciated!

Think you have an overclock. Don't know for sure though. If you have it at 3200 Mhz it's a 6400. Is this yours: http://products.amd.com/en-us/DesktopCPUDetail.aspx?id=451
The other 6000+ has a speed of 3000MHz
so i must have the 3000mhz because i know i have the 6000+. Thanks for clarifying that. I have run the memory test that appears on the windows xp or vista boot up choosing screen. I haven't messed with any of the bios settings since the reflash so especially if a 6000+ cant or shouldnt be OC'd, then I shoudl probably go back and load basic defaults. Am I wrong in assuming the optimal defualts are over clocking settings MSI made up?

IPod Classic won't Restore and FREEZES/LOCKS iTUNES! Help.
Hi. First, the specifics:
I have an iPOD Classic (120GB).
I have Windows Vista R2 (64-bit).
I have the latest version of iTunes, yes, for 64-bit.
With that out of the way, I started seeing issues with my iPod not being able to play certain songs. I'd find the song, hit the play arrow, nothing would happen. The time would not move, song would not play. Here's what I've tried to do initially:
Re-install iTunes, re-sync.
Still wouldn't play these songs.. Not all, but many songs.
So, I tried to Restore.
Initially, it looked like it was restoring properly - - but took way longer than usual. Like 2 hours. At the end, I got an error "Could not sync this song, Could not sync iPod."
I looked at iPod, had to set it up, choose ENGLISH as language, etc. Search iPod, found NO MUSIC, NO VIDEOS, etc.
Tried simply re-syncing, wouldn't work.
So, I disconnected, restarted my computer and tried to RESTORE again.
I connect it via a USB 2.0 and the iPod cable. I have been doing this for years and years and this iPod has worked for the 3 years I have had it.
I have had iPod since their inception, so I'm not a rookie. I also have an iPhone and an iPad2.
So I connect the iPod as usual. NOW, it basically FREEZES iTunes. I CONTL-ALT-DEL and find it's always iTunes (NOT RESPONDING).
This happens EVERY TIME... I tried restarting several times, same issue.
So, I unistalled all components of iTunes > RESTART COMPUTER.
I re-download the latest version of iTunes, yes the correct one.
I tried syncing or restoring. DOESN'T RECOGNIZE iPOD, FREEZES/LOCKS iTUNES.
HERE'S OTHER THINGS I have tried:
RESTORING from DISK MODE. (DID NOT WORK, LOCKS iTUNES)
I downloaded the Windows Update for Vista that helps not corrupt iPod when disconnecting too early.
Downloaded update, did NOT help with the issue.
Un-installed iTunes again. Restarted computer. Re-installed newest version of iTunes.
ONE THING TO POINT OUT, when I connect my iPod, iTunes launches if not open and I get a WINDOWS box that says:
MICROSOFT WINDOWS:
Do You Want To Scan And Fix Errors on Steven's iPod (L:) ??
I tried both options: YES, Try to Fix, NO - Continue
That doesn't work, and iTunes still freezes regardless of option.
Again, tried DISK MODE, tried Regular mode...
Nothing works...
PLEASE HELP...Guys, if you all having the same problem as Steven, then do the iPod Disk Diagnostic, as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but helps in troubleshooting.
Main cause is the iPod Hardisk is dying, but if the DD report are good, then it is the USB connection timeout.
So have a go at the Disk Diagnostic first. -
Need help with a freezing / Lock up issue
Hey Everyone,
I have an lenovo T400 running Windows XP with iTunes 9.2.1.5.
I have 2 different iPhones (3gs and 4) both with the latest 4.x software.
Any time I connect either phone to this Laptop iTunes locks up.
The seriers of events happens as...
Itunes sees the iphone and...
Verifying iPhone
syncing
backing up
syncing apps
Syncing
Then it locks.
I've been googling an dsearching here, some poeple thinking it was a Voicememo or issue, podcast issue, app issue, music issue. I've deleted all of that off one phone and it still locks up.
I've been searching and out of ideas.
What order does a phone sync in?
Is there a way to watch it sync and see if it's hanging on one file?I am having the same issue suddenly the last couple of days. I haven't installed anything else nor have I done anything out of the ordinary. Whenever I select multiple items this also seems to happen.

Z1s freezing / locking up issues
I was wondering if anyone else had any issues with their Z1s locking up / freezing?
I waranteed my first one because tmobile wouldn't let me return it (They said because I installed apps, that's why it's not working)
I received a second one and it's doing the same thing.
It worked for a few days and now it will work for about 1.5 minutes and then lock up where I have volume-up + power to reset it.
I've looked at battery usage and the largest user of battery is Media App.
Because of that, I suspected my SD card, but I took it out and restarted and I still get the freezing.
Another thing that's probably unrelated, but might be, is I keep getting the waterproof popup even though all my covers are firmly snug.
Any help is greatly appreciated
Also, the battery drains fast during this whole mess.I suggest you force shutdown with this key combination: power button+vol up until the phone vibrates 3 times.After this,do not turn on the device.Open SUS and follow the procedures to check firmware and repair.
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us - J.R.R. Tolkien -
Pavilion TS 23-F270 (Repeated Freeze / Lock-up Issues)
Recently purchased HP Pavilion TS 23-F270 from AAFES PX.
Ensured everything was upgraded properly & up to date, to include upgrade to Windows 8.1 (64-bit).
In general, runs very smoothly, however during past several days, computer has:
1. Fail to wake-up after prolonged "sleep"; reboot required.
2. Lock-up/freeze while on internet.
3. Lock-up/freeze while typin a Word Document.
The lock-ups have occured both silently (without warning), or with a "scratchy - screech" sound effect about 1 second before it freezes.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.Hello Shifrindj,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand that recently you started experiencing freezing and unresponsiveness from your HP Pavilion TS 23-F270. I am going to recommend that you follow the steps in the HP Support document: Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8). Be sure to choose a point in time after you updated the computer to Windows 8.1 and the before the freezing began. If you are able to do this any update that could have caused this will be removed.
I hope I was able to resolve your issue to your satisfaction. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

Pavilion g6t wont boot after bios update now just black screen please help!
I downloaded an update for the bios for my pavilion g6t-1d00 laptop running windows 7 64 bit. It started acting kind of funny but I didnt think anything of it til I tried to boot it up the next day and all I got was a black screen and a orange led light on the f12 button for the internet and the caps lock button after blinking afew times started the dredded two times every couple of seconds. I tried the windows key+B key power key, no luck. I cant access anything because I have no monitor and I'm at my wits end. I refuse to wipe my hard drive and start over even if I could! I cant access hp tools or manager or anything, please someone has to have a solution!
@Fuschia4me,
1. You will have to use another computer
2. Access the HP.com site with the BIOS updates available here is the link
3. You want to select the F.36 BIOS version
4. When you click on the update then click download and it will ask you to save or run, you want to save to a flash drive
5. Once done insert the flash drive into your laptop
6. Turn the computer on and press the windows and B key like before
If the process doesn’t work the first time I would try at least 2 more times.
Please respond back at your earliest convenience.
Thanks

Since I've installed Mountain Lion, I am having lock up issues with multiple programs. MS Outlook has crashed and I've lost all my folders. HELP?
okay I've finally been able to get tor and all the other programs to work according to my plan the only thing that's still making problems is that iptables doesn't work as I want it to, when I start chromium without proxy settings privoxy doesn't seem to forward the information to polipo.. do I need to add another rule to iptables.rules in order for the program to know it has to reroute the information again or how can I get this to work? and is there any way to run rtorrent with proxy support?
anyway, problem 2 and 3 are still to be solved.
and does anybody know where i can get a good dansguardian blacklist that was not designed for 6 year old children and for which I don't need to subscribe? I'm still getting these partypoker popups -.-
//e: with iptables it's the same thing as described in the first post. https works, http doesnt. I get the output "Invalid header received from client." on http sites. still no idea why though.. (and the https-version of torcheck.xenubite says i'm tor unprotected while starting the browser with iptables)

I have a problem after I lock my iphone or it is automatically locked , the time doesn't update. It just freezes at the last time of locking. Please help , it is iphone 5 running iOS7.1
I check with my service provider as well as I synchronized with iTunes , changed time manually with the right time zone. Unfortunately the problem keeps showingHi Courcoul

To tell the truth I forgot to mention that I already did what you said, even more I tried all "reset" options including:
Reset all settings
Erase All content and settings
Reset Network settings
Etc
Even
Reset location and Privacy
It keeps showing the problem -
I loaded software updates to Settings and now my lock button won't work. I was told to do a Restore but it keeps timing out. It says it will take 58 minutes to do the restore. I disabled my virus software but that didn't help. Any suggestions so I can do a Restore?

You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

I have iphone 4 with bill box evertything but i brought it from a person in germany with vodafone carrier but now its locked in india and i dont have that vodafone simcard and it is more than 2 years old so plzz help
FYI, many carriers can not unlock an iPhone if it is not active on their network. They probably don't recognize the IMEI because it's not registered to an account that's active on their network.
