Blew dust out of 790X/GD70 system now it won't post.

I built my system about a year ago, slight OC, ran for a year with never an issue. It was dusty so I opened the case and blew the dust out as I have normally have done hundreds of times but now my system will not post. The first time I booted after cleaning it showed the mobo splash screen but instead of continuing to boot it stuck on that screen so I held down the power button and restarted it. Now it just sticks on FF and won't even post.
I tried reseating the memory, video card, etc but now it just won't post. Anyone have any advice? If I remember correctly the code FF stands for fully functional, correct?

I just use a regular air can
That would be fine. The reason I asked, is sometimes people use air compressors and those actually have the potential of causing static discharges, over and above dirty particles being blasted at the board.
A complete check of all your component seatings and electrical connectors is advisable. The reason I suggest taking out your MB is that something may have gone behind the board, causing a short.
Good luck

HT1476 i-phone3 wont recharge; initially home button wouldn't work. Applied the 'auto-touch button thing' via settings. This worked until I ran out of battery life. Now it won't recharge either via laptop (usually does) or wall switch. Just a blk screen.

In general theory, one now has the Edit button for their posts, until someone/anyone Replies to it. I've had Edit available for weeks, as opposed to the old forum's ~ 30 mins.
That, however, is in theory. I've posted, and immediately seen something that needed editing, only to find NO Replies, yet the Edit button is no longer available, only seconds later. Still, in that same thread, I'd have the Edit button from older posts, to which there had also been no Replies even after several days/weeks. Found one that had to be over a month old, and Edit was still there.
Do not know the why/how of this behavior. At first, I thought that maybe there WAS a Reply, that "ate" my Edit button, but had not Refreshed on my screen. Refresh still showed no Replies, just no Edit either. In those cases, I just Reply and mention the [Edit].
Also, it seems that the buttons get very scrambled at times, and Refresh does not always clear that up. I end up clicking where I "think" the right button should be and hope for the best. Seems that when the buttons do bunch up they can appear at random around the page, often three atop one another, and maybe one way the heck out in left-field.
While I'm on a role, it would be nice to be able to switch between Flattened and Threaded Views on the fly. Each has a use, and having to go to Options and then come back down to the thread is a very slow process. Jive is probably incapable of this, but I can dream.

Apple - Support - MacBook Pro
Mac OS Version builds
When did yours come out? what does the above show as model and minimum build?
You should have yoru OEM OS X DVD, not one from another Mac, or retail, though the last retail OS X DVD was a year ago 10.6.3.
If it installed, I don't see an issue unless the drive had corrupt directory etc.
What you need to do is repair your boot drive or restore from backup.

Apple Does Not recommend that. Please Read.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1490
From that article
"Portables with built-in batteries"
Current Apple portable computer batteries are pre-calibrated and do not require the calibration procedure outlined in this article. These computers use batteries that should be replaced only by an Apple Authorized Service Provider.

Apple recommend calibrating the battery when you buy a new Macbook and then every few months, or monthly if it used on mains all the time. This, as Apple says is to keep the battery operating at maximum efficiency. When the battery discharges and shuts the macbook down, it still has reserve power for a good number of hours. There is also a logic board battery to hold various settings.
I rather think I will take Apples advice on using their equipment not yours, but I would be intrigued to discover what is it you know that Apple doesnt about its batteries?

My computer crashed and I had to re load my operation system. now itunes won't open. it says it was created by a newer version? what is that?

my computer crashed and I had to re load my operation system. now, when I try to open my itunes all I get is a message that says "can not be read because itunes was created by a newer version" what does that mean and how do I correct it. I need my music back!

As iTunes is uopgraded the newer versions require that the iTunes database be upgraded to match. It sounds like you now have an older version of the sftware attempting to load an upgraded library which it can't do.
What version of OS X are you running?
What version of iTunes are you currently running?
What versions were you running when your system crashed?

Installation of Comodo Free Firewall Crashed System, Now Firefox Won't Launch

I installed Firefox 4, then my ZoneAlarm Free Firewall and Free AVG 2011 Antivirus were rendered incompatible. As a result, I installed Comodo Firewall --- I did not uninstall Zone Alarm or AVG. Comodo instructed me to restart the laptop in order to finish the successful install. When I restarted the laptop, it crashed. I restarted in Safe Mode and did a system restore ---went back 6 days. Now Firefox won't launch.
What happened and how can I fix it?

Hi thanks for that. I've been through those pages already. I think maybe my lack of knowledge is hindering me somewhat. However the page you linked assumes two things: I can see the processes on Task Manager and I can start up Firefox. The latter is unusual. You see when it suggests changing or creating a profile, I have to use the profile manager which is part of Firefox - which I can't open.
I don't think a previous session is still running because I've restored and installed so many times.
While I appreciate the speedy response, if anyone has any ideas using words, I'd be extremely grateful. :0)

Take it to an Apple store genius bar

I've got a 2006 macbook, and i have run out of disc space, and now it won't boot up, what can i do?

I've been running dropbox, and adding files from a different computer, and my laptop got jammed full, and now when i start it up,i just get a blue screen, or in safe mode, i get a screen saver type background, but no finder...then i get a message that my disc is full, and i should dump some files, but i still get no finder after that....
Pretty sure i'm running Snow Leopard...version(?)
Help!????

nope...
i'm heading to Genius Bar now...thinking that i need to do the fire wire target thing...i just don't have anything to target to...

I logged out of my itunes and now it won't let me log back in. it says the request has timed out.. even though my internet is connected

The itunes store will not let me log in, it says that the request has timed out even though my internet is connected and my username and password are correct

I am having the same problem. It keeps saying that I have no internet connection, but I DO!

I downloaded an update to Firefox last night, and now Firefox just hangs and won't connect. It started out okay this morning, but now it won't work at all.

Even with a brand new computer, Firefox frequently hangs and/or quits spontaneously. I downloaded the latest update last night, and it worked okay for about a half hour this morning, then quit.

Do you have Internet Security Software turned on in your Internet Explorer?
I turned mine off, as I have Norton AV. Go into Internet Explorer and check to see if you have that on and try turning that off...and then try to get back onto FF. You may have to restart your computer, I'm not sure, as I'm not a techie. I just know that the Internet Security Software clashed with my Norton AV.
Good luck!!!
Donna
PS Go with the user's suggestion above me, sounds the right way to go...thank God for the techies, eh? :)

Corrected FSB, now K7N2 won't POST - Need help!!

AMD XP 2600+ TBred B Core
1024 (2x512) MB PC3200 DDR SDRAM (Corsair XMS Series)
1 is C2 latency, 1 is normal PC3200. I had them both in channel A, right now I'm just running my brand new normal 3200 stick.
MSI GeForce6600GT (NX6600GT-VTD128SP)
MSI K7N2 Delta2 Platinum (MS-6570E)
Enermax 365P-VE PSU (350W, 3.3V & 5V rails have 32A each, 12V rail has 26A)
The system ran fine at the default settings, I installed Windows XP with no problems. No hardware difficulties, no overheating of any component, no lack of voltage. Everything was peachy keen, except that my XP 2600+ was being misdetected as an 2000+ because the FSB was being set at 133. So, I went into the BIOS and used the settings I know are correct for my processor, meaning the FSB was bumped to 166. Saved the settings to the CMOS and exited. Now, when my PC starts up, I am greeted with a black screen. No POST beep, no video, no nothing. CD-ROM spins up, hard drive spins up, all fans spin up, all lights light up, but...Nothing! First move -- Reset CMOS w/ jumper. Nothing! Next move -- Hard CMOS reset (1hr). Nothing. Next-move -- Barebones boot. More nothing. I even tried swapping out the video card just to be on the safe side. (it did nothing, of course) If I didn't know better, I'd swear it was a DOA board, except it was working fine for around 18 hours, and I heard the POST beep every time it started up, and the DRAM error 'continuous long beeps' when I first set it up & had the 3200C2 stick in the Channel B slot (which I can still hear if I try booting with the RAM removed). I found the "Insert" key trick, but it looks like my keyboard isn't even getting power. I've been completely unsuccesful in trying to undo my move to the 166FSB, and it seems this total failure to POST w/ this motherboard isn't a unique problem. Any help at all is GREATLY appreciated, as well as any explanation as to what in the HELL happened. This has left me utterly flummoxed. To reiterate -- my computer is in barebone state right now. (Motherboard, gfx card, processor, RAM, all power and case connected to mobo and gfx card, nothing else) Thanks. -David

... I have just experienced the very same problem as HorizonX! I'm using a AMD Athalon 2600+ processor in an MSI K7N2 Delta 2 - LSR mainboard with 2x512MB PC3200 DDR RAM chips and I decided (don't ask me why) to switch my front side bus frequency from 166Mhz to 200Mhz. Immediately after making the change my system, which had been working fine for about a month prior to this, failed to post - no beeps only the whirr and click of the hard drives starting up.
I attempted to clear the CMOS by moving the clear CMOS jumper to the "clear" position for a minute or two with no results. I then removed the battery and again set the clear CMOS jumper to "clear", this time for about five minutes, but once I returned the battery and the jumper to its original position the system still failed to post. I figured I must have fried my CPU and was ready to start shopping for a new one. Luckily I came across this discussion forum. After reading the previous comments about how long mainboard capacitors can hold charge I decided to try clearing the CMOS again using some of the forum suggestions. I unplugged my system, removed the battery, and moved the CMOS jumper to the clear position. I then toggled the power supply on and off a few times along with the front power button and then left the system to sit for a half an hour. After the half hour I toggled the power switches a couple of more times before I reconnected the power, reinstalled the battery, and restored the CMOS jumper to its original position. This time IT WORKED!! My CMOS was cleared and my system posted with default settings. Incidentally I did look for the FSB safe mode jumper on my mainboard but it doesn't appear to have one.
Unfortunately this my not be much help to HorizonX but I just wanted to let the other contributors know their advice helped solve my problem.

I finally got my iphone out of recovery mode, after 7.1.1 but now it won't accept my Icloud info and states "An error occrured while trying to save the Icloud account?" What do I do????

I tried updating my iphone 4 to 7.1.1 and it went straight into recovery mode.... I finally got my iphone out of recovery mode, but now it won't accept my Icloud info and states "An error occrured while trying to save the Icloud account?" What do I do????

Same situation. I installed iOS 8 beta 4 on my iPhone 5 and a few days later my iCloud account disappeared. My contacts and calendar entries are gone.
My Mac Mini and MacBook do sync as they should with iCloud.
When I try to log in to iCloud on the iPhone (the username shows "[email protected]" and password shows "required"), I put in my username and password and tap "Sign In", It says "Verifying" at the top and after a while checkmarks appear next to my username and password. Then I get an error message saying "An error occurred while trying to save the iCloud account". If I tap OK the message goes away, leaving my username and password intact (checkmarks are now gone). If I tap "Sign In" again I get a message saying " '[email protected]' is Already Added. This iCloud account has already been added to your iPhone". If I go back to Settings and then go into iCloud again it's not set up and appears as I stated at the beginning of this paragraph.
Nothing works and the sync does not occur. Contacts are empty and Calendar has no entries.

I got my ipod wet, dried it out, and now it won't turn on.

I didn't get it totally wet, but water seeped into the buttons, and if you held the home button or the lock button long enough water would come out. I dried it out for several days, but now it won't turn on or open itunes when I plug it in. It also had a low battery when I got it wet so now it has no charge. Is there any way to fix this without paying any money?

Your best bet is to return your iPod to Apple if it's under guarantee. I for one don't believe in guarantee since it's an utter waste, but there's still a chance that they might exchange it for a new one mate. If it's not covered then you've got to pay in order to get it fixed, I'm afraid. :/

How to find out the password of system?

Dear all,
I would like to know how to find out the password of system as I forgot it?
Thanks a lot
Francis SZE

Since oracle passwords are encrypted so you cant see actual password. But you can use following procedure to login to oracle with system user.
For any account issue this statement.
select username,password from dba_users where username='SYSTEM';
EMDU27ANS729273
this will give you the password in encrypted format.
Now you can change that password for temporary purpose.
alter user system identified by test;
Now login and do your work.
After login you can issue this statement to reset the password to its original value.
Alter user system identified by values 'EMDU27ANS729273';
You have to enter the same encrypted password in the quoted string which you had found in 1st statement.
Cheers.
