Blue Strips on screen?

This is on behalf of a coworker. He decided to get a SiS648 board (648F Neo-L), which you can find here http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=470
Then he got a XFX Geforce FX5900, which you'll find here
http://www.xfxforce.com/product_view.php?sku=PVT35KNA
I presume he got ram and processor to fit the board. Everything is plugged in right. But anyway he says that when he turns the system on all he gets is these blue stripes on the screen, about 10 or so across the screen and they don't move.
Granted I've told him to get an 865PE Neo-PLS or something like that instead of the SiS, I am wondering what would cause it to not work right given everything is seated right and plugged in and all with a 400W power supply. Is there a 0.8 vs 1.5v AGP voltage problem?

No; there is no problem as far as the AGP Voltage is concerned...The correct AGP setting for your card is 1.55 Volts (even though it is a 8X card) as the further Voltage reduction to 0.8 Volts is done by the electronics on the Vidio Card itself ...........Sean REILLY875

Vertical Blue Stripes across Screen

I'm not sure what triggered it, but vertical blue stripes will pop up and freeze my screen. It started last night and have happened a couple of times already. I can only 'unfreeze' it by rebooting the Mac.

Does anyone know what the problem is?
Thanks

I haven't read anything about the ABC website causing problems. Watching videos may be more processor intensive and the machine may run a bit hotter, which might be enough to trigger a video problem that could have been there all along, but just hadn't manifested itself yet.
If you also get the blue stripes on an external display, that would indicate a problem with the graphics chip. If the video on the external display is fine, then the blue stripes could be a problem with your internal display rather than the chip.
If you get the stripes again, it might be a good time to run the extended version of the Apple Hardware Test, which is on Install Disc #1 of the gray discs that originally came with your computer. The AHT will test a lot of stuff, and if you get an error code, it will indicate a specific hardware problem. You can try Googling the error code and maybe find out what it is, but Apple is the keeper of error codes and would have to be the one to give you a definitive answer.
I can appreciate that you need to work on your paper and won't be able to mess with this right away. If your video goes away entirely, here is an article which might help you get it back again:
Troubleshooting: My computer displays no video
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1573?viewlocale=en_US
This article will walk you through some resets which might help.
Also, sometimes problems are worse if the computer gets hot. If that seems to be the case, something like a chill mat might help until you have time for some serious troubleshooting. So would quitting any unnecessary applications while you are working on your paper.
Good luck!

Why is it when using my iPhone 4s front camera, the screen sometimes turn black or have blue stripes on it? What's wrong with it and what should I do?

When using my iPhone 4s front camera, the screen sometimes become black or have blue stripes on it! Is this a hardware or software problem? Can this issue be covered by my warranty? I bought it inmid-december last year, and this problem came at around Late January. It's a rare case, only came about 5 times, but this really concerns me. What's wrong with it? Thank you so much for your concern.

thank you for your reply
I brought it to the store and they agreed to give me an exchange. thank goodness!
I have a new question: I've now transferred my back up datas to my new iphone. They wanted me to register, so I registered (as my old apple ID) and then they asked if I want to restore backup, I did that too. after the restore back up process, the only things that aren't there were my music and apps! what should I do to get them into my new iPhone?

Qosmio F30 starts with blue stripes during the start screen of Vista

My Qosmio F30-114 runs since years without Problems with Vista Ultimate.
Since some Days there is a huge Problem.
The Qosmio starts with blue stripes during the start screen of vista.
So I deleted the driver of the graphic card and used the standard vga card driver. the hardware assistent found a driver on the system.
For a short moment i was very lucky.
After a restart, there was a blue screen. after the next restard, again the standard vga card driver.
What can i do?
The download section of toshiba has no drivers for graphic card.
And really ... i wonder - how does it works all the years without problems...
Has anyone a solution?
thanx
toshibalover ;-)

Hi!
First of all do you have this issue on an external monitor too or only on the internal monitor? Maybe its not a problem of the graphic card so check this with an external monitor.
I have checked the Toshiba website and there I can find some drivers for the Qosmio F30:

There appears a blue strip on the right top corner every time I unlock my phone or when I open an app. It's been four months since I got my 5s! Is something wrong with the screen?

I've been using my iPhone 5s for the past 4 months. Now suddenly, I've been seeing a blue strip on the right top corner of the phone. Should I be concerned about the screen? Is there anything wrong with my display? I'm still under warranty.

Take it to the Apple Store.

I want to remove that big blue stripe near the top of the screen

The stripe that showed up yesterday that says: "Click Here To Start Sharing on Google"

I have the same problem, but I see it whenever I go to the Google home page. The blue stripe (at least the one I'm seeing) appears on the web page itself, and it's not part of any of the Firefox toolbars.
I'm using Firefox 8, and hiding the Menu bar doesn't do anything to the "blue stripe" on Google. I can't see that an add-on is going to fix this either. I think it's just Google being it's recently annoying self.
Maybe I misunderstood what the original poster was asking. Is there Another annoying blue stripe out there?! (I wouldn't be surprised if there was... Firefox made some bad decisions with v.8, it's Very annoying.)
p.s. I'm not happy At All with Firefox 8. Such a disappointment... What were they thinking??

IMAC 2" wide white vertical stripe middle screen, what to do?

my older iMAC has 2" wide white vertical stripe middle screen, it started out as single red line, what to do?

I don't know if this will "fix" your problem but:
As old as your iMac is, have you cleaned out the dust? Dust buildup can lead to over heating issues. Remove any and all things plugged into it including the power cord, Remove the RAM access grille. Vacuum all openings starting with the RAM access area (air intake). Vacuum all ports and plugs, DVD slot and the opening across the top of the rear of the body. Blow compressed air through all your openings and vacuum again to remove any dust you loosend. Reinstall the RAM grille. Plug in the keyboard and mouse if not blue tooth. Insert power cord...

Hp officejet 7610 scan result is blue stripes

i've been having problem with my officejet 7610 which in my case the scanning output for color scanning is all blue stripes and is unusable. Please help, cause i need to scan really important docs.. Thank u for ur help.

Hey there @waskitoputro
Welcome to the forums!
I read about the scanning quality issues you're having with your Officejet 7610 on Windows 8.1 and I would like to help.
Please try these few steps and get back to me with the results.
Power reset the printer:
Press the Power button to turn on the product.
With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Wait at least 15 seconds.
Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
Ensure the printer is plugged in directly to the wall outlet, avoiding power bars and surge protectors. This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help greatly.
Check for a Firmware Update: Getting the Latest Firmware and Product Updates
Test a copy from the front of the printer. Was there any issues?
Test a scan from the PC. What did the scan look like?
If there was an issue with the scan only, run the Print and Scan Doctor. This diagnostic tool will check for any conflicts that could be causing the issue. The tool will show you a report at the end. If there was a problem that the tool could not fix, you will notice it in the results.
Hope to hear from you!

Blue or grey screen on boot

Mac Pro 1,1; 10.6.4
On attempting to start up recently I got a screen in alternating shades of blue.
Trying to boot to a bootable CD gives me a 'you need to restart' grey screen.
Booting to the diagnostic works and finds no problems.
Booting in firewire target mode allows access to the HD and repaired some errors with diskutility but did not change symptoms. Subsequent checks show no errors.
Booting to an ubuntu livecd worked fine with generic graphics drivers (up to date drivers available but require a reboot).
Booting into safe mode has the blue screens alternating with a black screen with a white rectangle in the top left (about the size of an old terminal cursor).
Zapping PRAM doesnt seem to change anything.
Recent upgrades include +4GB RAM which I have removed and errors remain with the original 1GB RAM (2x512)
I have also replaced the graphics card recently, GT 8800 stopped working and I replaced it with another GT 8800.
The help pages on blue and grey screens seem to be mutually exclusive but both discuss removing peripherals and non Apple hardware.
Per above, I have tried the diagnostic/safe/boot CD options mentioned in both and the only option I cant try is removing the graphics card (unless there is a way to test a successful boot without a screen?)
I suspect it is either a graphics fault which ubuntu doesnt mind but OSX does, or a more complex disk corruption.
The next option appears to be erasing the disk with firewire/diskutil and attempting a fresh install (not sure why this would remedy the kernel panic on booting from CD).
Some logs have been populated in Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports, I can post fragments as required but am unable to interpret atm.
Any suggestion appreciated.

HI,
Trying to boot to a bootable CD gives me a 'you need to restart' grey screen.
That is what is referred to as a kernel panic.

I keep getting the blue start up screen. Am I low on ram?

I keep getting the blue start up screen. Am I low on ram?

hey
i am unsure what is causing your blue screen but it won't be because you are low on RAM,
RAM is seperate to your hard drive space and you will always have the same amount of RAM unless you upgrade it, if it was a problem with the amount of ram you had you would of always had those problems if that makes sence.
try booting off the Disk that came with your mac, or the recovery partition if you are on lion, then run a disk repair from there to see if that helps.

This has worked for some others.
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Windows stuck on blue HP Invent screen and won't load desktop items after doing a system recovery

Hello, this is my first time posting here, as I am in desperate mode! I have a HP Pavillion Slimline s5304y desktop pc, using Windows 7, that I purchased in Feb 2010.
After getting a virus on my computer, I ordered system recovery disks from HP and did the recovery to original factory settings process (twice!), however, during the Windows setup process, it doesn't ever get past the blue HP Invent screen that says:
--Do not turn off your PC during this one-time setup process
--Your PC restarts several times during this setup process
--Messages may pop up onto your screen. Ignore these messages until you are prompted to restart or shutdown your PC
Towards the bottom of the screen it continues to say "Please wait..." with a scrolling green bar. All I see is the windows start buttom in bottom left corner but am not able to access anything and I don't ever get my desktop screen or desktop icons. I have restarted and shut down several times and as soon as I log on to windows, I just get that same blue screen.
The 2nd time I did the recovery process, I let it continue overnight (just in case I wasn't waiting long enough) and my computer never shutdown like it was supposed to when the installation was complete. Also, I watched the whole process the first time around and my computer never restarted like it said it was supposed to; it just seemed to be stuck during the rest of the windows setup process. It eventually just went into sleep mode.
I don't have anything else plugged in except the power cord, the monitor and the keyboard/mouse. I have not installed any new hardware since I purchased the computer.
I did a diagnostics test and everything passed.
I tried to get help from HP Support, but because I'm out of the warranty period, they cannot help me and want to charge me $99!!!
I don't know what else to do at this point. Can someone please help???
Thank you.

Hi,
I would try wiping the entire Hard Drive first and then reinstalling the Operating System as this may get around this issue.
Download and install Killdisk on the link below - ( despite the name, this application will just write zeros to the entire drive leaving it in a similar state to a new Hard Drive ).
http://software.lsoft.net/KillDiskSuiteFree-Setup.exe
Download and install ImgBurn on the link below.
http://download.cnet.com/ImgBurn/3000-2646_4-10847481.html
Go to the Kill Disk application you have installed in All Programs, open the main folder, then select Bootable Disk creators and from that select Bootable DOS CD Creator which will burn the bootable ISO to a blank CD.
During the next process do not worry about any warnings as your Recovery DVDs will reformat the HDD.
Insert this CD in to your PC that is unable to load Operating System properly. Shut the PC down, then start it again to boot from the Killdisk CD and follow the on screen instructions for Kill Disk.
A brief description of the process is here Killdisk.
Use this to wipe the whole of the Hard Drive, highlight (80h) and press f10 ( you will also have to type a confirmation and hit enter ) - ( this will make sure you include all partitions and then start the process - this may take a couple of hours! ).
When the process is complete, remove the Killdisk CD, insert your first HP Recovery Disc and try the installation again.

Blue strip of Light

Blue light from backlight
Hello this is my first post so please be gentle. I've had my pad 3 since June and I've just noticed a blue strip of light possible coming from the back light, that is very visible on black backgrounds (for example when I'm switching the ipad off) Could someone please tell me what this is and do I need to take it back to Apple for a replacement? To be honest I've only noticed it since updating to IOS 6 but surely that doesn't have anything to do with it! I've attached a photo of my display. Many thanks in advance for any advice.
Darren,

I understand the blue light on the tower is no longer activating.
I take it you are referring to the decorative light at the top of the tower in this image.
If it is under warranty still, you can contact HP to see what options are available. I don't think this is indicative of a deeper issue in the system. The light itself typically has a cord that connects to a power source inside the tower (a pin on the motherboard or connects directly to a cable from the power supply through an adapter). You could open the tower to verify that no cables have come loose. Provided that the power cord to the light has not come loose, then this would be indicative of a failure isolated to the light that nothing else has an issue.
