Built brand new computer, VGA won't work

I recently finished building this computer and am having trouble getting the vga card to work. There is only 1 installed vga card, which is a Radeon 7870 Series. I've already installed Windows updates and Windows 7 SP 1. I've also installed all other drives including the drives that came on the cd with this graphics card. When I try to open MSI Afterburner, i get the following error message: "Failed to initialize display driver wrapper!" When I check my system in CPU-Z, I see all components of the computer up and running except the graphics card; the working GPU is displayed as a "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" and no other info is given. I just want to get my VGA card working. It's installed in the right spot, and the fans are running so i'm thinking it must be a software issue.

Oops, sorry I'm not thinking. Hope this helps:

Two brand new Isight cameras won't work with my computer!@!!= ARGH!!!!!!!!!

The first Isight I bought had some stuck pixels and was returned to apple for a new Isight. The new camera worked for a couple of days then screwed up the video with ichat and skype. Worked OK with Quicktime, Imovie, Quicktime Broadcast although it locked up like the first camera did when recording on native resolution in QT.
I hope my experience hasn't been typical of the Isight camera.
Why would it work with quicktime/imovie/quicktime broadcast but refuse to provide decent video to ichat or skype even after formatting and reinstalling everything. Why then would it work ok on a macbook with no problems but not work on an Ibook? Why would a firewire camcorder have no problems using any of the programs but then run into problems using an Isight camera?

10.6 Snow Leopard will run on any Intel mac. So that's any Mac made in the last 6 years. Snow Leopard came out in July 2009 and only cost $29. So you had over 3 years to have upgraded your MacBook.
You're willing to pay a couple of hundred dollars for a new phone but not the $29 in the last three years to have upgraded your OS on your MacBook.
The Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD should still be available from Apple for $20. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list. The App Store which is required to download 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion is part of the 10.6.6 update.
If they no longer have any in stock you will have to buy it from eBay or Apple resellers that still have stock. But you will have to pay a premium since the DVDs are no longer being made. Snow Leopard DVDs are already up to $100 on Amazon.

Brand new color cartridges won't work.

I recently replaced all my ink cartridges (3 color and 1 black) in my Photosmart 6510. The printer status shows full ink on all cartridges, but it will not print in color. Everything prints black, or just a blank sheet of paper. I have tried re-installing the cartridges, turning off the printer, unplugging the printer. I get an error message when I try "aligining the cartridges".

Hello kimchamard,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand your Photosmart 6510 will not print color ink. I will do my best to assist you! Please follow this entire HP document on Fixing Ink Streaks, Faded Prints, and Other Common Print Quality Problems.
Try printing a print quality diagnostic page to verify if this comes out with color or not. If not, please try cleaning the printhead which should improve the quality.
I will be looking forward to hearing from you.
Have a great night!

Brand new iPhone 4 won't work In iTunes, it says "must restore". Any ideas?

I bought a new iPhone 4 from Telus and they switched it from my old 3GS. Once I got home I plugged it into iTunes and it's it can't read iPhone need to restore. I have 4.3.3 os. Any ideas? I am afraid there is something wrong with it.

I have not yet, I read that someone has done it 3 times and it still says to restore. Couldn't hurt to restore, just wondered if it was a known issue. Don't want to loose any info.

For some reason, I can not delete bookmarks. I did one at a time, then tried 5 or 6 and it worked once then no more. I then tried 1 at a time and it worked once the no more. This is a brand new computer (Win7) and FF just loaded about 3 hours ago.

# Question
For some reason, I can not delete bookmarks. I did one at a time, then tried 5 or 6 and it worked once then no more. I then tried 1 at a time and it worked once the no more. Why is this happening? This is a brand new computer (Win7) and FF just loaded about 3 hours ago. Do not know how the bookmarks even got in there. Some were ok, but no order and some that were never bookmarks. Looks like FF tried to import some BM's from the Virtual XP installed, but did not get it any where near right. I need to completely delete all of them and install from a saved .html file.

Well, I did not see the exact problem that I was having listed in the articles, BUT the problem is solved for now.
I opened FF and the Bookmarks to Organize again. I deleted all of the folders and entries, ONE AT A TIME, AND IT WORKED. Evidently, for what ever reason, FF did not like "Batch" deletes of ANY amount greater than 1 and the HANG UP would occur.
Deleting one at a time then importing the good .html from a good file, loaded the wanted Bookmarks. Yea

My brand new iPad mini won't rotate I have done factory reset still not working. If I lock and unlock on landscape or portrait it remains in that mode. Any ideas pretty sure I've tried everything suggested.

My brand new iPad mini won't rotate done factory reset still not working. If I lock and unlock on landscape or portrait it remains in that mode. Any ideas pretty sure I've tried everything suggested such as off/on, reset, reboot, double checked lock off. It did work and I changed wallpaper and stopped motion, not sure if this related

Reset all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. Your iPad will reboot on its own. You will have to enter all of the device settings again, but no data will be lost.
I eould not spend a whole lot more time trying to fix this, if the device is really brand new. I would take it back to where you bought it, bring the box, the charger, the cable and your receipt and if they can't get it fixed, return it and get another one.

My brand new MacBook Air won't turn on all the way.

Hi my brand new MacBook Air won't turn on all the way. If I try to restart it or shut it down, it will go like it is starting up, but goes to a gray screen and stays there. I can see the mouse and move it, but it won't turn all the way on. What is wrong with it? It had been working fine since I got it, but today it hasn't been.

You may have to see if troubleshooting this issue can help, though the instructions on a process of elimination by symptoms are tedious in the following support article, and are suggested to be performed ahead of trying the process described in the title.
•Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
For the actual SMC reset, note subsection in above, instructions click-open on blue text:
>Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
If the computer does not shut down, and just hangs there, try pressing the power button down for 15 seconds. Check the suggestions in the above article to see if any of them can be used, if the computer will power-up.
There is another item that sometimes can help, but the main issue you say could be resolved by the SMC reset; this other thing is involved NVRAM (non-volatile random access memory) so here's an article about it.
•About NVRAM and PRAM:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
>Resetting NVRAM/PRAM opens in above, click-to-see instructions on how to reset.
You may have to call ahead to the nearest Apple Store for an appointment to see a Genius; or at authorized reseller, their service product specialist who should be trained to understand how to proceed, just in case there is a hardware issue behind the symptoms. When you call, be sure to have the serial number and purchase date available, when you call an official store.
Or use the 'Apple - Support - Contact Apple Support' to start the process...

Hopefully this helps somewhat.
Good luck & happy computing!

My brand new ipod touch won't let me download apps.

My brand new ipod touch won't let me download apps. I put in my password and then get a screen that says "Download Now". I can't press the okay button to start the download. What should I do? All of the other buttons on the screen work, so I don't think it is broken.

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.

Brand New Samsung s4 Won't Install Apps

My Samsung S4 (brand new last night) won't install any apps. I click install, and it highlights like it's going to, but then it does nothing.

That's odd mmchenry, let's get to the bottom of this. Are you trying this on 4G LTE or wi-fi? Launch your Play Store, select the Menu icon on the top left>Settings>Is the option to require a password enabled? If so, disable it. You can also try Settings>Application Manager>Playstore>Stop. Let me know if this works.

Mac OS X does not offer a Clean install option. If by clean install you mean erasing the system, that is not recommended unless:
1. You bought a used/refurbished Mac and there is software on it without any accompanying discs, and it is older than July 20, 2011 in model release:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6413
Or if it is at or newer, then erase it if it has applications installed that would not have been prebundled with it and you have no CDs for those applications.
You don't want someone else's software keys, or accounts, or to be running unlicensed software. At and newer Macs offer a built-in internet restore for their software with a command-R boot that lets you erase the system with Disk Utility, and then install from the internet the latest operating system.
2. You have a hardware issue and want to eliminate possible software issues as the cause when troubleshooting a problem all at once.
Issues affecting a new install have to be isolated before you attempt it. Unless you know it is software or hardware, erasing may only mask other problems.

Brand new computer with Windows 8.1 will not sync to iPod Classic 120G. Windows does not recognize anything but iPod Touch? Is there a simple solution. Diagnostics have run and failed to point to a fix.

Might be worth tearing down the whole iTunes install and starting over...
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

Can someones can help me? My computer is brand new. I've just received it yesterday from Lenovo. Lenovo T540p with Win7Pro + i7 core + 8Gb ram. Yesterday I've completed all my update from Windows Update. I did not make any hardware install on the
computer except that I use an external USB HDD and an external logitech wireless mouse. For these two devide, I use the built-in windows driver. Nothing happens yesterday When I've used it. The problem occurs only tonight.
Thanks for your help!!

--------------UPDATE 9/11/2014--------------
Hi all,Thanks for your reply. I've got an update. the many BSOD (all with different problem) was due to a RAM Problem that was intermitent. The Ram module was not installed properly. I correct the installation and everything goes fine after that. Thanks
all for your help!

Hi,
According to the dump file, most of BSOD code is different. However, according to one of dump file, BSOD caused by norton sys file.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Norton Internet Security\NortonData\21.3.0.12\Definitions\VirusDefs\20140904.001\EX64.SYS
According to my experience, your system crash events most probably caued by Norton application and you can try to disable or uninstall it temporarilly for test.
If BOSD problem disappeared, it should be Norton problem. If problem still exists, please provide new dump file to us.

Slow brand new computer

Hello I recently bought A HP all in one 23 p111 desktop . I have the comp hard wired to the innernet modeum as well and internet speed test is very fast and my wife mac is going lightning fast ! My computer is slow!!!!! moving from page to page is slow looking anything on internet is slow as well . I am quite low-tech but dontunderstand how this brand new computer works like a commadore lol. I paid good money and am very displeased , ive had it for two weeks . thank you ,
Alec martin

Hello,
Well first go to task manager (right click on taskbar) and check how many processes are running in the background. If theres too many delete the ones you don't need as it takes up your ram.
Another thing is to get a program like AVG Tuneup to try make the computer more faster as there might be issues but I highly doubt that.
Last thing to do is consider replacing your processor as yours is 2 .0 ghz.
I suggest going to around 2.5 ghz - 3.0 ghz or more as your computer would be super fast for a couple of years.
Hope this helps

I have two separate iTunes libraries on two separate Computers. I need to consolidate them so I can play them on a brand new computer. How do I do this so I can play them off an External Hard Drive on my brand new computer?

I have two separate iTunes libraries on two separate Computers. I need to consolidate them so I can play them on my brand new computer. How do I do this so I can play them off an External Hard Drive on my brand new computer?

Why, if it told you you have insufficient space on your computer, would it suggest making more space available on your phone?
At a guess, you have insufficient space on your phone. Installing software will typically require more space than the final size of the software, perhaps even twice or three times as much, for the installation process. You can easily dump some videos or music temporarily, and then synch them back in afterwards.
