CPU Mounting problem

Hi all i need some help for my m8 as he can not post on the forum.
ok he has just got a new CPU for his PC now the problem is as he was fitting it he broke one of the clips that fits the CPU to the MOBO and the PC is now over heating due to the CPU not sitting right.
what i need to no is can you buy this black surround bit from MSI or can he get some sort of cooler that dont use all 4 clips ?
plz try not and say you need a new MOBO lol but if it is it has to be.
thanks for any ones help

There are stores that sell just the Intel Retention Bracket so you can replace the broken one and keep your existing heatsink.  It's like $4 so they are fairly cheap.  I'm having trouble finding the link to the store at the moment.  I will update when I find it.

  • My solution (or so I thought) to Power Manager/CPU throttling problems!!!

    I have found a solution to all my Power Manager/CPU throttling problems!!! Though there is some good and bad news.
    {EDIT: The problem has NOT been fixed, even after latest PowerManager (3.62) and BIOS (1.30) versions. Pretty much ignore anything I say below as the problem is still occurring. You can see my full post here: http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/W-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/W520-Speedstep-not-working-properly-on-battery-...}
    Good news:  I have NONE of the throttling issues or inconsistent CPU frequency problems I was having before on AC or battery power.  Everything, including TurboBoost on battery works! It is completely fixed! (I have no idea how this factors into Lenovo’s statements that TurboBoost is disabled on battery “by design”. There is at least one other post from someone else that also reported TurboBoost was working for them on battery)
    Bad news: I don’t really know which one of the many things I tried actually worked. I am sorry I wasn’t more methodical about recording what I did and checking results, but this was my last ditch effort to get this fixed on my own without sending the system in for repair and frankly, I didn’t think it would work. Now that it has worked, I’m hoping my steps can help others.
    For anyone interested, here’s what I did… and before anyone says something like “That has nothing to do with managing power/cpu, why would that help?!… etc., please keep in mind I’m just stating exactly what I did. I am aware some of the steps may not be relevant, but who knows… We all know how weird PC’s are sometimes, even the smallest, oddest thing may resolve a problem.So anyway, here goes. 
    **IMPORTANT** Not sure how many noticed, but there was a new version of Power Manager released a few weeks ago, 3.62. The PM driver seems to have stayed the same. That alone could very well be the sole fix, I’m not sure. You may just want to completely remove PM and PM driver and install the latest version before trying any of the steps below.
    1)Made a complete system image via Windows built-in backup feature
    2)Disable any 3rd party fan/CPU control utilities (Throttlestop, etc). Make sure they are also not going to run at startup or from a   scheduled task
    3)Remove Power Manager Driver, then remove Power Manager software
    4)Reboot to Windows
    5)Remove all traces of the Power Manager drivers/software directories (think it was something like C:\readyapps and C:\drivers.) **For some odd reason after I did this, my wireless stopped working but it resolved itself by the time I was done with these steps, strange
    6)Reboot
    7)Access BIOS and reset all settings to default
    8)Boot into Windows, downgrade to BIOS 1.25 [UEFI: 1.25 - 8BET44WW / ECP: 1.14 8AHT32WW ]  via the Windows flash utility. I wanted to downgrade all the way back to 1.06, but the software would throw up some error for any version prior to 1.25 and wouldn’t proceed
    9)Reboot to Windows; make sure system booted w/ out issues
    10)Reboot again, access BIOS, reset to defaults again
    11)Shut down system
    12)Disconnect AC power. Remove main battery. Access and disconnect system backup (a.k.a CMOS) battery under keyboard. Discharge residual power in the system (there are various ways to do this, but you could just leave the battery disconnected for a few minutes).  Visually inspect the system for anything funky…my system had a slightly but noticeably loose CPU/GPU heat sink/fan assembly power connector.
    13)Reconnect backup battery. 
    14)Reconnect AC power but leave main battery disconnected.
    15)Power on. Should get a message indicating “checksum error, system time reset” or something like that.
    16)Reboot to Windows. Verified still okay.
    17)Downloaded latest BIOS version, 1.26. This time I burned the bootable BIOS flash CD instead of running it through Windows.
    18)Restart and boot from disc, flash BIOS to 1.26. Once complete, restart. Verify BIOS set to defaults.
    19)Boot back into Windows.
    20)Install latest Power Manager driver (1.62 ), reboot if/as prompted. Install Power Manager (3.62), reboot as prompted.
    21)Boot into Windows, verified Power Manager was active and working. Verified TurboBoost was working. Restarted system a few times and played around with Power Manager for a bit to see if the different power plans worked and retained the settings, all the while monitoring the Intel TurboBoost utility and PM’s own “power gauges”. Let system Sleep, changed power sources, resumed, etc. Everything was working great.
    22)Shutdown, reconnect main battery. Booted into Windows. Again, fiddled with Power Manager for a bit, switching between power plans and AC/battery power. Still worked great.
    23)Success! 
    That’s it.  Again, this is not a guaranteed fix guide. These are just simply the steps that I took on my system that resolved the problems many of us are having. Hopefully it will work for others.

    All I basically did was download and install...

    (PM driver)  http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/83ku14ww.exe
    Now, I did chipset first (didnt ask to reboot) then installed the PM driver (did ask to reboot)
    I rebooted.... then I went into bios (1.26) and set everything to default... then restarted saving changes...
    Since I prefer not using optimus I changed the display settings in bios right after saving the default settings...
    Not sure whether or not you really had to go into bios... but everything seems to be working...
    My settings in PM is set to Maximum Power in the Advanced tab,  3rd party monitoring tools is TPFanControl and HWInfo64....

  • Coping iso file and mounting problem

    Hi
    I am using Windows 8.1 Update Enterprise 64 bit and Windows ADK.
    I noticed that, if I select the "Environment of the deployment tools and creations images" and I click on the "Run as Administrator" item of his Pop-Up menu and I mount on a iso image of windows 8.1 Update, when I run the command
    robocopy <Drive_Letter>:\"<Windows_Files_Path>" /e
    to copy all its files in a directory and the command
    dism /Mount-Image /ImageFile:"<Windows_Files_Path>"\install.wim /Index:<Image_Index> /MountDir:"<Mount_Directory_Path>"
    to mount an image volume, this error appears:
    Error: 0xc1510111
    Not have permission to mount and modify this image.
    However, if I copy these files through the "file explorer" window, the mounting of this volume image is working properly. How come?
    Thanks
    Bye

    is this really your problem?
    Really, this is not a MDT related question. perhaps a general Windows Setup forum would be a better place to ask this question.

  • 10.5.8 disk mounting problem

    I updated to 10.5.8 and decided I would download the photoshop elements trial off Adobe's website. It was at 365 MB of 1.27 GB and it suddenly came up "mounting failed" I am currently trying to download it again, but my internet connection is slow so it will be awhile before I see if it happens again at 365 MB. Has anyone else had disk mounting problems in 10.5.8?

    Speaking as someone who works a lot with PSE, I would say the odds are very high that this is an Adobe problem rather than a 10.5.8 problem. Wait a while and try the download again.

  • Safari CPU scheduling problems

    When I open a tab but remain on the current tab, Safari grind to a halt while the background tab loads. This is NOT a CPU load problem, for I am monitoring the CPU and there is plenty (I am on a G4, so not even clumsy limits to a single core can excuse).
    Things like right-clicking another link to create a new tab takes an age, as does scrolling, which often invokes the beachball. It is as if the foreground page is subordinate to the background tabs.
    This is unacceptable and no excuses outside of bad programming.
    Anyone else see this?
    Message was edited by: Baron Munchausen

    I had the Safari problem in terms of it getting hung up while loading web addresses and had to go through diagnostics every time I moved the laptop from office network to home instead of it switching automatically. How do I tell if Little Snitch is still there? I can see it in the download queue, but no where else. Also, even tho I have to switch manually to the office network and Safari is slow, at least I stay online here without Safari stopping or getting error messages, which makes me wonder if my router is messed up and contributing to problems. I have reset and unplugged my home router with no apparent effect. Sally

  • Narrowing down "iPod won't mount" problem

    Regarding the "iPod won't mount" problem that has been posted a number of times: is anyone having this problem with a USB connection or just with a Firewire connection?
    I'm using Firewire and can't get my iPod to mount. I don't have a USB connector for the iPod and I thought I'd do a little research on the problem before I go buy a USB connector.

    My 4th generation Ipod would not mount with the firewire but worked fine with USB.

  • Pismo G3 (upgraded to G4) Firewire mounting problems

    I have two firewire drives (both 40GB). One will mount without issue on both of my systems (Emac and Upgraded Pismo G4). The other one will mount perfectly on by Emac and several other computers, but can take several minutes for it to mount on my Pismo. Most times it will eventually mount, but after a long delay.
    I have formatted the drive and looked at it under disk utility, but everything seems to be ok. One further note, the badly behaving disk was also in another case and having the same bad behavior. It seems it is something with the disk itself, but it is strange that it only happens on my Pismo and not other system.
    I'm Running Tiger and have had this problem in Panther and also before I upgraded my CPU to the G4 chip. It's really wierd that my other FW drive works and the problem one works on every other system I have tried. I have also tried swapping cables/ ports on the connection to the PB.
    Do any of the experts have any idea what is going on?

    Michael,
    Just speculation here...
    I had an older 5GB HD in a FireWire case and it absolutely would not mount unless I connected the little power brick to the FW case. I finally replaced the HD with a new one and the problems vanished. I can only speculate that the old HD was drawing too much power due to its age or a hardware issue and the FireWire port could not supply enough bus power to fully power the device. Your FW HD eventually mounts as it heats up and the current draw diminishes. So possibly your Pismo does not supply enough bus power to deal with the marginal FW HD but other Macs do.
    Of course if you are already using a power brick, this theory goes out the window...
    Question: Once the FW HD is thoroughly warmed up and mounted on the desktop, can you unmount it, disconnect the cable, then reconnect and have the HD mount in a reasonable time?

  • K7T Turbo CPU upgrade problem

    I've got a ms-6330 K7T Turbo limited edition board.  I've been running a 900mhz Duron for years in this board with no problems.  I recently bought an XP1800+ (palomino).  I upgraded to the newest version BIOS, changed the jumper for the 133 FSB and installed the CPU.  The first power-up it hung on the post screen.  After that, I got nothing.  The D-led shows it is hanging at processor initialization.  Put my Duron back in and it works fine.
    I bought the processor off Ebay and realize this may be my problem.  But it was from a reputable seller.  Is there something else I could try before trying to contact the seller for a replacement?  I wish I had another socket A board to try it in, but I don't.

    Are you 100% sure you recieved a Palomino core?
    You can refer to this chart, and compare the CPU to the pictures, to verify that it is a palomino core.
    Also, insure the the heatsink is properly seated, as they will fit the wrong way, but will not make good contact with the CPU.
    Did you use fresh thermal grease on the heatsink?
    PC133 is required to use a 133FSB.
    Try clearing the CMOS, and see if that will allow it to boot.

  • Yosemite 10.10.1: Finder/CIFS mount problem: wrong folder count/folders not shown @samba shares

    Hello to all,
    we have several MacBook Pro (15" MBP Retina 2012/13"MBP Retina 2014) running. After upgrading to Yosemite 10.10.1 we had one nightmare after the other.
    Most problems could be solved with 3rd party software upgrades but there are several problems with the operating system itselve which can not really  be called a professional productive system at the moment...
    Ok., one thing after the other...here is one of our biggest problems:
    After upgrading from Mavericks or Mountain Lion to Yosemite 10.10.1 the CIFS/SMB mounts to our samba 3.x servers, running on Ubuntu Linux LTS 12.04 makes trouble. We could mount the server shares but after browsing with the Finder the beach ball occures and the Finder hangs forever. Sometimes we could not refresh the Finder, killing the process ended in a complete hang-up of the system which ended in a switch off death blow. This is not amusing because we have 30Tb of customer data there, which has to be worked out.
    We heard about the SMB3 protocol which will be used per default in Yosemite and so we decided after some testings to upgrate our Ubuntu servers to the latest LSF 14.04. release with samba 4.1.6 installed. There was no message from Apple for this SMB protocol release upgrade, never heard something related to Yosemite (Why?).
    Ok, after these server upgrades and disabling most of the Spotlight functions the performance to the CIFS shares was a little bit better as before but now we have another problem with the Finder...if you browse to the shares there are folders missing which have lots of files in it. For example there is a folder with 60 subfolders and 3562 files on the first level in it, the Finder shows 220 files and 15 folders. The Terminal shows a different count with "find . -maxdepth 1 -type d | wc -l" or "find . -maxdepth 1 -type f | wc -l" but there is also a difference to the original file and folder count. It doesn`t matter if the clients are connected via WiFi or Gigabit Ethernet. We have no access problems. We have the same behavior if we set the files and folders to 0777 permissions on the servers. The deletion of the preferences files of the users on the MacBooks does not solve the problem. If we use the "Go To Folder" option and type the path to a folder which is not shown in the Finder you get an result or not. But it is also possible that the result is not correct and there are also still files or subfolders missing.
    In my opinion this is a timeout problem and a "special SMB3 protocol interpretation" which is buggy. We have one hint found in /var/log/system.log:
    "Jan 23 14:35:49 wsosx33.clients.getcom.de KernelEventAgent[69]: tid 54485244 type 'smbfs', mounted on '/Volumes/customersdata2015', from '//x144067:@srvlxp013.servers.getcom.de/customersdata2015', not responding"
    We had no problems with Mavericks at all, we still have no problems with Windows 7 Pro/Ultimate, Windows 2008R2 (native or virtual) or Linux Mint 17/17.1 clients, neither with samba 3.x nor with our actual environment and different newer samba releases.
    We believe that this is a big bug in Yosemite, but we cannot go back to Mavericks because of incompatible TimeCapsule backups. Our workarround at the moment is that we have installed Linux Mint on our MacBooks to get 80% of our daily jobs done, rest has to be done with Windows 7 installed over virtualbox @Linux.
    We have no clue at the moment how to solve this problem, the samba logs do not give any hint. The access from other operating systems is perfect and very fast, but not with Yosemite. We checked different tips found in the internet but nothing helped.
    Does anybody has another idea to get Yosemite working or should we keep Linux Mint until Apple will provide a CIFS/SMB patch and going on with our workaround solution, which is productive at the moment ??? Our staff is not amused and wants one solution and not this workaround with two operating system. We have to decide wether we wait until Apple will get this fixed or we have to switch to Microsoft Windows (which is a No Go for me, but I will not be asked...).
    Thanks in advance
    C.

    Hi William,
    thank you for your response.
    As you can read in my post I talked about CIFS/SMB.
    It makes no difference if we mount the share over CIFS or SMB.
    Folders with lots of files will not be shown even if we use SMB3 or an older protocol.
    As mentioned I believe this is a timeout problem.
    Does anybody know how the CIFS/SMB timeout setting in Yosemite could be changed?
    Kind regards
    C.

  • CPU Overheating problem on Windows 8.1 Pro (installed with BootCamp)

    There is a really important overheating problem on windows 8.1 (installed with bootcamp) even i do nothing Cpu is 50-60-70 Celcius degrees. This is really annoying problem.

  • Mountain Lion Server: Network users Home directory mount problems

    I am having several problems with my server after a latest name change of the server via Server.app. (A first name change made problems, after that I have been trying to repair, changing the name a few times more. With latest name change, I also changed the server name itself from Foo to Bar while changing domain name from domain.com to bar.domain.com after which I repaired DNS so it covers the whole domain.com domain).
    The users in the Network directory think their home directory is on afp://domain.com/Users, but the server is now called bar.domain.com. /Network/Servers/bar.domain.com does not exist on the server. Client machines (with mobile home directories) are now able to sync, because I added an A record for domain.com to DNS (not  nice, but does the job, or more specifically that job). Also on the clients, I can go to a SHARED folder in Finder with the name Bar and go to Users and see al the home directories there. But:
    bash-3.2# ls -l /Network/Servers/
    total 4
    dr-xr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  1 Apr 14 11:14 domain.com
    dr-xr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  1 Apr 14 11:14 foo.domain.com
    bash-3.2# ls -l /Network/Servers/*
    /Network/Servers/domain.com:
    total 2
    dr-xr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  1 Apr 14 11:14 Users
    /Network/Servers/foo.domain.com:
    total 2
    dr-xr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  1 Apr 14 11:14 Users
    bash-3.2# ls -l /Network/Servers/*/Users
    /Network/Servers/domain.com/Users:
    ls: Users: Input/output error
    /Network/Servers/foo.domain.com/Users:
    ls: Users: Input/output error
    So, on the server looking for folder ~user does not work. It wants to  go to afp://domain.com/Users/user but that is unreachable.
    Any tips on what I can do except do a clean rebuild of the server (again)?
    (One of the obvious problems is that the Realm of OD is still called foo.domain.com, the origin of my problems has been that the first name change from foo.domain.com to domain.com (ill-advised, I know) failed — partly).
    What I'd like to know is:
    - where is it determined which servers end up in /Network/Servers?

    Som additional info:
    Other machines can mount afp://foo.domain.com/, afp://domain.com/ and afp://bar.domain.com/, but the server itself cannot mount them via Finder.

  • IPod Shuffle mount problem in 10.4.3 ??

    My iPod Shuffle was last updated on my girlfriends iBook (10.4.2), when I try to mount it on my PowerBook (10.4.3) the yellow lamp just blinks, but it dosn´t show i finder, iTunes or system.log
    The system update to 10.4.3 is the only diference from when it worked, I wonder if that is the problem.

  • Mounting problems after upgrade to iTunes 7.6.1

    This house has two Mac laptops, both running the latest 10.4.11.
    1. After the install yesterday of iTunes 7.6.1 (9), the iBook would not mount applications downloaded as disk images. This I repaired by removing two 'now' unacceptable fonts in the System Collection. However, it now fails to verify most CDs it writes, which are Taiyo Yuden CD-R 52x. (An earlier sporatic problem, I believe Apple had attributed to its failure to stabilize the Firewire bus sufficiently before using it.)
    2. Yesterday I installed iTunes on a G4 PowerBook at the same time. Before the install it had never written a coaster, using Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden media. An hour before installing it, I had archived 1/3 of the drive to Taiyo Yuden DVD-R 16x discs (TYG03), which the drive can write to. (Caution: using these discs on some older drives will damage them!)
    After the install of iTunes, file-system check, permission fix, reboot, the G4 will burn no DVD. It creates the disc image, then reads the first track of the disc and (before writing a thing),
    DVDSpanner: Burn started, Sun Feb 24 22:37:09 2008
    DVDSpanner: Burning to DVD-R media with DAO strategy in TSSTcorp CD/DVDW SH-S182M LA00 via FireWire.
    DVDSpanner: Requested burn speed was 47x, actual burn speed is 18x.
    DVDSpanner: Burn underrun protection is supported, and enabled.
    DVDSpanner: Burn failed, Sun Feb 24 22:37:16 2008
    DVDSpanner: Burn sense: 5/24/00 Illegal Request, Invalid field in CDB
    DVDSpanner: Burn error: 0x80020022 The device failed to respond properly, unable to recover or retry.
    Does anyone know what a CDB is?
    I suspect iTunes the cause because of the fact that both computers failed only & just after iTunes was installed, iTunes writes to optical media, 10.4.9 damaged the LaCie driver, and problems 1 and 2 may both be classed as problems mounting devices.
    Any kludges or suggestions? Thanks!

    No need to all respond at once, I've fixed the computer; though this doesn't solve the problem, if it existed; and now makes that moot.
    All the various applications, but Toast apparently, use the same 'device driver' and consequent log file. LaCie's 'disc recording support' driver is now dated February 15, 2008 (on its website only). So, though it looks the same to me, I had an excuse to upgrade to the same one installed earlier. All works now.
    This is a sad application of the professional's last maxim: 'When all seems lost, re-install.' So, I'm marking this solved, though this form of solution is the least desirable: it may be only temporary; and now one can't tell.
    Thanks to all who thought about it.

  • Mounting problem with Solaris 10

    Hi everybody !
    I am new in Solaris admin (come from HP !)
    here is my problem :
    i have to create a FS (would be only data in it) that would be shared by 2 zones working on a fail-over principe.
    So i create this FS directly under the global zone.
    But i can't find in the Man pages the options of mount that tell the 2 zones to have their entries alternatively on this new FS
    waiting for your advices, thanks in advance.
    Titine.

    You don;t need to mount the FS by NFS unless your talking about zones on two different machines.
    Two zones on the same machine can import the same filesystem with no problems.
    But I'm unclear as to what your trying to achieve. Two zones on the same machines provides no real failover because if the machine goes down so do both zones.
    Your best option is to have the FS on one machine and NFS export it to 2 other machines.
    Theres no real advantage to using zones here of course. But you can if you prefer.
    Of course the machine hosting the FS is still a single point of failure unless you use a SAN and HA-NFS.
