Desktop Hardware issue. Need help

Hi All,
I have been having continuous problems with my HP pavilion p7-1044. LINK
--> System will shut off after staying on for about 7-10 minutes. The fans and motherboard lights stay on after the crash.
--> Try to power on after crash, the blue power light comes on, fans starts running, motherboard light comes on BUT the amber/orange light beside the blue power light does not come on and thus computer does not start
--> If i let it cool down for few hours, i may be able to get it up and running again. If i want the computer working right away after crash then I have to remove the fan, remove the processor and let it sit outside for 5-10 minutes and put it back and restart computer. then power blue light and orange processor? light comes on and computer starts
--> i have made sure its not power supply issue
--> i have wiped the silver liquid thats applied on the processor chip and applied new paste (followed a youtube video - step by step)
--> i have changed the fan. i have installed speedy fan and increased fan speed and that makes the computer stay on longer than 7-10 minutes. the computer stays on for hours but eventually crashes. 
--> done all that i could find on HP support. (pretty much did all basic hardware test)
--> the desktop was off for 3-4 months and today i turned on the computer (hoping my computer may have forgotten that it had this issue since it was off for 3-4 months and may be it will start working properly now !  ). but i was wrong. the computer worked properly for 7-10 minutes and it crashed. 
--> processor (little 1.5 inch chip) becomes very hot - which points that fan is issue but as mentioned above i have already replaced the fan and also tried increasing speed of fan
--> i have been working on this bloody issue for over a year now. i am so against taking the desktop to repair shop.
my next plan of attack to this problem includes replacing motherboard. or may be processor chip ... 
any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 
thanks guys

  • RSI Issue: Need help on IBM/Lenovo external keyboards w Trackpoint? Pic

    Need help on IBM/Lenovo external keyboards w Trackpoint? Pic
    I started my journey with Thinkpads on a T42, then T43.. then T61, X61T, R61 & T410 (bought for 2 cousins & they love it), W510 (dads new laptop). I may be a much recent convert but I swear by them now. 
    MAJOR ISSUE: Recently started feeling RSI (Repetitive Stress) & Carpal Tunnel symptoms (already doing stretches.. adjusted the desk.. & finding new adjustable LCD stand) since I am not using the Thinkpad directly... but using it docked with an External keyboard. Lot of Mousing as well. I'd like to go back to Thinkpad FEEL... or atleast have keyboard with a pointing device so my hands dont have to keep moving back n forth. 
    So, it would be great it some of my fellow T4x/T6x/X6x 'ers would guide me a bit on this... share their first hand experience, or what they've seen on these keyboards and feel free to point me to reliable sources of information. 
    Currently this would greatly be use with T61 - Adv Mini Dock - 30" XHD3000 LCD as shown in my signature below. 
    Anyone who has used or know something about one of these Thinkpad related keyboard (ideally both of these to give a comparative response). 
    Which of the following have you used? 
    How was the experience? 
    (Maybe point me to thread with peoples experiences)
    If you've used several, which one do you prefer / recommend? Why? 
    At the moment I have a "slim" BTC 6200C desktop keyboard. It has laptop like scissor keyswitches, so I like it the slim notebook like profile. 
    The way I have positioned my 30" LCD I'd like to be able to keep the keyboard on my lap at times while on my chair and maybe on the desk at times.

    I had the same issue - had to go to voice command for a few weeks (sucked) wore wrist gards to keep things netural.
    Everything went away when I changed to a USB keyboard with the Ultra nav (I use the track point and disable the pad).
    I've been working like that for 6+ years now... no issues.
    (as a side note, sleeping with wrist guards on helped heal me the fastest.  I had neoprine, with a metal plate in them - from a local drug store)

  • Concurrent crystal license timeout Issue, need help.

    Hi,
    My company is using crystal enterprise 10 with 18 concurrent user license.
    However, we often hit out of crystal license issues.
    Does time to wait for exporting crystal reports to excel/pdf takes up licenses?
    Does time to wait for crystal report to be printed or viewed on the web browser takes up licenses?
    We all know that user sessions take up user licenses. 1 user login take up 1 license.
    Does crystal pruning job takes up user licenses too?
    Need help urgently, much appreciated.

    Hi Daren,
    Support on Cystal Enterprise 10 has expired. Make sure that your users are actually logging off and not just closing their browser.
    One user can take up multiple licenses by not logging off or opening multiple browsers to view multiple reports. Scheduled jobs that are running do not take up license, but a user veiwing a historical instance does take up a license.
    In your metrics tab in the Cyrsatl Management Console -> Servers-> cms you should be able to see the active number of sessions- system connections are backend connections between the servers and these do not take up any licenses.
    Best Regards,
    Jadie

  • T400 LCD dim issue - Need help!!

    I'm having a LCD dim issue with a T400. Have changed the LCD panel, LCD cable and systemboard but still having same issue. If i removed the lcd card, then the display is working fine. I've tested the lcd card in another working unit and it's working as well (means the lcd card is working). I use a working lcd card and plug into this T400 but LCD still dim. 
    I've try to switch the problematic lcd cable and lcd panel to a working systemboard and it kills the systemboard. Have try to switch a few things but still unable to find the root cause. Urgently need help on this. Any advice will be appreciated.
    Model : 6475-RM5

    hey bhoh
    i suggest uninstalling your current graphic card driver, let windows install its own generic drivers and see if that makes any difference

  • Stuttering flv playback issue- need help asap

    We need help asap. Have a project is due to deliver today (5/14).
    We have a video to go on a dvd-rom, live action with Motion Graphics behind.
    When output is done thru Projector the Motion Graphics stutter as they scroll.
    Here is more technical info:
    Stuttering flv playback issue:
    Prores 422 timeline 29.97fps 1280x720 output from fcp using current settings.
    Mov file is approx 7gb, plays relatively smooth on a mac pro with no raid.
    Frame by frame analysis shows all frames are present with no jumps tears or skips.
    Tried several output paths, programs and settings to create a smooth flv file to no avail.
    We adjusted data rates from 2k, 3.5k, 4k and 8k, no luck
    We adjusted keyframe rates from low to all frames, no luck.
    We tried cs3 flash encoder, cs5 media encoder, squeeze ect, same results.
    Playback in the flash projector seems to choke slightly no matter what we do.
    Have also posted in the Director Forum.
    Any help much appreciated!

    Here are a few ideas off the top of my head:
    Try playing the file using a different xtra, sometimes different ones will work better.  If you have Director 11.5, there is a native flv playback xtra.
    You can build a player easily in Flash using the flvPlayback component, then bring that into Director as a swf.
    Once you have the video in Director, try making the member Direct To Stage (DTS).  If it is already DTS, try making it not DTS.
    Make sure the video is not transparent, and nothing in Director overlaps the video... in fact, when the video is playing, nothing should be moving at all, and try to keep the amount of code that is running to a minimum.
    Try lowering your video's data rate further or try using a different codec.
    Using VBR (Variable Bit Rate) compression often makes the video appear to play smoother.
    Try compressing the flv with different software.  FFMpeg, for example, is free and does a very good job, often better than the Flash Video Encoder that comes with Flash/Creative Suite.

  • LCD monitor display issue, need help

    I have a strange problem with my LCD display, it goes like this:
    When I first boot up the mac and the wallpaper appears on the display the image looks perfect, all the tones are right etc, but as the startup progresses, programs loading etc, the display changes suddenly, becomes too bright in the highs, too dark in the lows, and over-saturated in between. Its looks horrible.
    I have just discovered that I can correct the issue by going into system prefs, display, selecting the options tab (next to Display and Color) and turning overscan on, then back off, voila, all fixed.
    Looks great.
    Thing is I have to do this every time now that I start the computer, and Im wondering if anyone knows what causes this issue and if theres anything I can do as a more robust solution.
    The kicker is I have the same problem with a viewsonic LCD on my secondary machine (Powermac G5, Osx 10.4), right at the beginning of startup it looks great then suddenly all goes wrong, too dark/light over-saturated. Its as if the image has been blended with itself in multiply mode a la photoshop.
    And on my second machine there is no option for overscan so I cant use my quick fix.
    Is overscan a feature of the OS or the monitor?
    The worst part is I need these displays to work correctly because Im a graphic designer, I need my colors to look right so I can do my job, and while I could go buy a $1000 monitor its not possible atm, and Id kinda like to know why this problem occurs. So if I do buy a different I can be assured the problem wont rear its ugly head again. But I dont think the problme is the monitor. I think its something to do with the communication between the display and the computer.
    The monitor can display correctly, and does for a brief moment, then it all goes very wrong. Ive spoken to NEC and they werent much help but Ill be trying them again today too.
    But again, I thinks its the computer, not the monitors as I can reproduce the issue swapping out monitors.
    I hope Ive described it adequately,
    Thanks in advance for any help forthcoming, this is very frustrating and is causing me endless headaches.

    Mattdp,
    I am currently having the same problem with my 20" cinema display. Did you ever find a long term solution? Apple states that the PowerMac G5 is legacy with no support available, and suggested a reset the PRAM. I did so to no avail. I too have 10.4.11 and thus no "overscan" to turn off. This is my wife's primary computer for her photography business, and the color issue needs to be resolved as quickly as I can find the answer.
    Is there a possible solution through the terminal?

  • E3000 + WD My Book Studio II 2 TB - (Windows) connection issue, need help

    Hello all,
    Sorry for the long post :-)
    I just purchased a new E3000 and a Western Digital My Book Studio II 2TB external USB hard drive to use as an USB NAS devixe using RAID 1. I connected the My Book to my notebook, and formatted it (NTFS) and set it up for RAID 1 per the installation instructions. I connected it to the E3000, set up users with admin r/w permissions, set up a shared folder called "server", allowing the use of the full partition (931 GB). Went into Windows 7 on the notebook, set up share permissions, logged into the Router, and mapped the "server" folder to Z:\, and I was up and running in about 20 minutes. I was really pleased with the ease of setup. Everything seemed to work fine, started moving files from my Windows 7 notebook to the My Book the suddenly.........nothing! After moving about 5 GB worth of files to the My Book, it just "disapperared". I can no longer see it, or connect to it. I can see the router on my network, but I see no shared folders. If I go into the router setup, and click on storage, I get an error message that says that the "USB device that I have connected is not supported". If I remove the My Book from the router and connect to the notebook, all of the files seem to be there, and I can access them, move, delete....etc. But when I connect it back to the E3000........nothing. Anybody have any ideas? It seems to me that this is a problem with the E3000, not the My Book. I have hit the reset button yet, but I did power everything down, and then back up with the same results. Is anyone else having issues with the My Book connected to the E3000 in a windows only PC environment. I just got the E3000, and do not know if I should RMA it if there is a hardware issue, or if there is an easier fix that I am not aware of.

    Has anyone resolved this issue? I have version 1.0.4 firmware that I installed prior to setup. This is crazy. I bought this mostly to hang my hard drive as NAS on my network to stream media to an iPad or media player for my TV. The storage seems to be reliably reached by my network PCs but the Media Player seems to not only regularly dissapear by crashing, doesn't appear to scan the entire share partition. I get intermittent results, especially with folders containing large jpg jpeg photo files. In reality, most of the shared folders seem to easily find proper folders for Root Music, sometimes for Root Video, and almost never for Root Photos... any explanation as to why this media server crashes, and any info why it does not seem to work for jpg photo directories would be most helpful. Imam using a Samsung Story 1TB USB drive. Even if it sleeps, when using shared storage from my PC it does not appear to have problems automatically waking up. But for the Media Player, even aver a fresh scan and enable of the server, it still doesn't publish the directories for just photos, even ifni create their own share. HELP PLEASE io so want this to work. Thanks. Guy Gschlact

  • My iMac has panic issues, need help.

    I've got an iMac 4,1 and it's panicking in a bad way.  It's not used for whole lot, just email, web, and printer sharing.  The thing won't boot sometimes and I'm forced to leave it on.  It only panics on boot.  Sometimes when going into Safe Boot, but what perplexes me even more is it happens in Single User Mode.  I'm not able to type any commands.  Just get a screen showing me the panic info.  As of tonight it's happened about 6 times but I'm writing this now on it.  For some miracle it decided to behave.  I've got two logs it managed to keep after all this.

    I think it might be a problem with a core function of apple since I don't see any extensions that stand out as third party ones.  I'm currently running Snow Leopard on this aging thing and numerous components have kicked the bucket.  Slot drive removed and iSight disconnected.  I've run out of ideas, gentleman and ladies.

    You could have a hardware issue, which could be RAM or something like a failing HD. I'd start by running Apple Hardware Test in Extended Mode 3x back to back. If you get an error then it's time to take it in for repair. If you have no errors appear that doesn't necessarily mean there isn't a hardware issue, unfortunately AHT isn't that great a test but it's what you have. You can also try trouble shooting RAM, this could be:
    incorrect RAM
    Failed RAM
    Unseated RAM
    You can download Rember from macupdate.com and see if it finds any RAM errors.

  • Odd mail issues, need help

    A couple of things I need help with.
    1) Mail constantly goes offline and pops up a dialog box asking for my password. I enter my password in the box and hit okay and it doesn't take. I can hit cancel and put mail back online but that's a pain. What is causing that and how do I fix it?
    2) People send me mail and then about 30 min later I get the same email again. This problem doesn't happen with every email, just some.
    I have no mail rules on. and I run virus software and it's fine.
    Can someone please help me on this. Thanks!

    Open /Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access, choose Keychain First Aid from the application menu, and proceed to repair the keychain. If that doesn’t work, you may try removing the password entry from the keychain and letting Mail create it again.
    Also, in Mail open Help > Mail Help and read the article titled “Mail keeps asking for my keychain password”, in case it applies to you. There is a related article titled “My password is not saved” that you may also want to read, but beware that the last suggestion provided there (deleting the mail account) is wrong and could cause irretrievable data loss if this was a POP account.
    Note that Mail doesn’t always correctly report what the problem really is. If Mail can connect to the server but cannot log into your mail account for some reason, it’ll ask for your password, regardless of whether that’s really the problem or not. Don’t keep entering the password every time, because that’s not the problem (click Cancel instead, and take the account back online afterwards).
    What’s the time interval chosen in Mail > Preferences > General > Check for New Mail? If it’s set to Every minute, try changing it to Every 5 minutes.
    Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list.
    Also, try using a different method to connect to Internet, if possible, or connecting the computer to Internet as directly as possible, i.e. bypassing any routers that might be present, using an ethernet cable instead of wireless, etc., and see whether that makes a difference.
    BTW, if you’re using Mac OS X 10.3, as your profile indicates, it would have been more appropriate to discuss this in the Mail & Address Book - Mac OS X 10.3 & earlier forum. If the discussion applies to both Mail 1.x and Mail 2.x, it doesn’t really matter, but it’s difficult to know that in advance.

  • I am having problems rebooting my mid 2009 macbook pro (grey screen other issues), need help!

    I am having problems rebooting, I have experienced the same problem as others with the grey screen but my case is a little different, It started with my mid 2009 macbook pro acting a little slower than normal, the screen would freeze, mouse wouldnt move and i'd be forced to "force reboot" this went on for a couple of days until i was tinkering with the wifi connection and it froze again. I had to reboot and this time i noticed that it took a long time to get to the login screen. i put in my password and it went into infinite load (i also tried the guest account and other accounts with same result). i tried rebooting again and the same thing would happen. after several reboots, the screen just stayed grey, sometimes with the apple logo and gear sometimes without it. Since its a 2009, (and for the most part, still works like a champ) i decided test the ram, i took one stick of ram out at a time to see if i could notice anything wrong with them. when i stuck just one in, the mac was still having the same problem rebooting. i pulled that ram and and stuck in the other and i noticed that this time the apple logo never appeard and a big crossed out circle appeared. figuring that the ram must be the problem, i ordered new ram and installed it. i noticed that when i rebooted for the first time with the new ram it was rather quick and took me straight to the login screen and i was able to log in with no problem. at this point i thought the problem was solved, but i noticed the macbook still acting funny. at first, none of my files appeared on my desktop or in the finder window. after about 20 minutes, everything magically popped up. i also noticed long pauses/freezes with the colored pin wheel spinnig. i closed the laptop and opened it again and the screen just stayed black. i tried rebooting again, and again i got the grey screen with no signs of being able to log in... i waited about 20 minutes and tried to reboot again and again i was able to log in, however the macbook is still acting slow and will freeze with no signs of unfreezing without a reboot.
    my macbook is 5 years old and has plenty of miles on it, so i understand if the thing needs to be replaced alltogether but does anyone know what could be the issue? could the bad ram have corrupted the hard drive in anyway? would re-installing the OS fix it?? and if so, how would i do that if i downloaded mavericks from the app store? are there any other solutions to this problem?
    all my files and what not are backed up on an external HD so theres nothing on it that i'd miss desperately if i had to whipe the hard drive but id really like to get her working again without any whiping of the HD. if anyone can help me out, it'd be greatly appreciated

    It is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions. 
    How large is your hard drive and how much hard drive space do you have left? 

  • Hot Corners 'Desktop' behavious chage - need help

    I use the hot corner for 'desktop' quite a lot and have found it extremely helpful in previous OSX iterations, however since upgrading to Lion i've noticed a slight difference in the way it works that I'm hoping I can change back somehow.
    If i have a lot of application open and hot corner the desktop, in previous versions if I went to my dock and clicked on say, Finder, a new finder window would appear and I could then drag something off of my exposed desktop into a folder in finder but still with the appliactions in the hot corner 'desktop' mode. I really did use this a lot as it helped with my workflow. However, now when I hot corner it and try and open an application from my desktop all of the open applications ping back into place. Is it possible to change it back to how it was?

  • [SOLVED]Wow in bin32-wine-wow-hardware-cursor need help with patching

    Hi all.
    I have installed bin32-wine-wow-hardware-cursor from AUR and it's working pretty fine I must say. I still have one important issue. That is, that the cursor acts strange when holding the button pressed down, as you do when turning etc. The cursor then moves to the middle of the screen and shakes, until you release the button.
    There is a fix for this posted on the Ubuntuforums, but I don't know how to implement this in Arch. Trust me, I have tried in so many ways possible, but I don't have the knowledge to do this. Please help me, or point me in the right direction.
    http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p= … tcount=172
    I have managed to fix this problem myself. If any of you are wanting the same functionality as what i mentioned above, navigate to your mouse.c find the function update_mouse_state, and then make the changes below...
    static void update_mouse_state( HWND hwnd, Window window, int x, int y, unsigned int state, POINT *pt )
    struct x11drv_thread_data *data = x11drv_thread_data();
    char *hwgl;
    get_coords( hwnd, window, x, y, pt );
    hwgl = getenv("WINE_CURSOR");
    /* update the cursor */
    if (hwgl == NULL){
    if (data->cursor_window != window)
    data->cursor_window = window;
    wine_tsx11_lock();
    if (data->cursor) XDefineCursor( data->display, window, data->cursor );
    wine_tsx11_unlock();
    Thank you in advance.
    EDIT: To clear things out a bit. I am using 64-bit Arch.

    However, I don't think that one includes the right patch either. That just looks like the 32-bit version of the bin32-wine-wow-hardware-cursor. And I cannot install that on my system.
    When talking about cursor issues there are 2.
    1. Getting hardware cursor in OpenGL.
    2. Irritating cursor-behavior when pressing down the buttons to turn etc.
    The package you refer to solves problem #1, so does the bin32-wine-wow-hardware-cursor. It's problem #2 that need fixing. I would assume, since it is just a cosmetic defect, no one else has bothered before me.
    But still, it's solvable in Ubuntu, and I am kind of a perfectionist.
    EDIT: Yes, I can see now that the mouse.c is in the archive. I would be able to edit myself. But (silly question) I won't be able to run the PKGBUILD with that source, right?
    Well, you could always edit the file then re-tar/bzip it.
    The PKGBUILD wiki article states:
    Note: If you need to supply files which are not downloadable on the fly, e.g. self-made patches, you simply put those into the same directory where your PKGBUILD file is in and add the filename to this array. Any paths you add here are resolved relative to the directory where the PKGBUILD lies. Before the actual build process is started, all of the files referenced in this array will be downloaded or checked for existence, and makepkg will not proceed if any are missing.
    So basically, edit the PKGBUILD and set the source to the location of the newly bziped file you have after applying the patch. Then it should use that one instead
    But, that won't be possible on a 64-bit system, right? I can't use the 32-bit source.
    Or am I missing some piece of the puzzle here?
    I think I'm missing part of the puzzle....
    Ok, title of thread: "bin32-wine-wow-hardware-cursor"
    That makes me assume 32-bit
    Next, source file you downloaded:
    wine-wow-hardware-cursor-1.1.43-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
    Again, 32-bit...
    I'm confused with what you want now

  • Weird Hardware Issues - Need Your Advice

    Hello.
    I'm having this weird issue lately, and I was wondering if anyone can help.
    First, I have a Pentium 4 3.2Ghz HT Presscot CPU, 512 MB RAM and an nVidia GeForce FX5200.
    The problem:
    I often leave my machine on overnight. When I wake up and get to the machine, I can see that X is using 50% CPU. When I move the mouse, I can see that it reacts very slowly to mouse-over effects. Then when I click a window, or try to access the keyboard, X pretty much freezes, and it loses touch with both the mouse and the keyboard. The only resort is to press the Reset button.
    When I do so, my machine does not really reset - It gets stuck even before the BIOS screen comes up.
    What I do then is I need to shutdown the computer, wait for a few minutes and turn it back on. When I turn it back on and it actually start working, I get a message from my BIOS, stating that some "overclocking failed". It then asks me to either load the default BIOS settings or to reconfigure the BIOS myself. When I choose the load the default settings, it carries on to GRUB and it's all good.
    The cause (what I think, that is):
    I think the cause for this is the CPU. My CPU runs at very high temperatures, for some reason. Now my computer is idle, and according to lm_sensors it runs at 68C now. When I came to the machine this morning, lm_sensors showed it was running at 81C.
    The thing is I am pretty clueless as far as hardware is concerned. Can that be the reason for it all? What causes X to suddenly go berzerk with its CPU usage?
    Any ideas and suggestions would be welcome, as I am pretty clueless.
    Thanks a lot for reading

    run "ps aux" command will tell you everything that is running
    also
    open the case make sure all fans are spinning

    remove fan housing from heatsink on processor clean all dust between fins
    if you dont have one or do consider putting another case fan in there
    at one end machine blowing out the other end blowing in to circulate frsh air into box
    does your pc sit inside a cabinet? maybe a wood desk cabinet, wood absorbs heat
    while the inside of your pc circultes air if inside a cabinet with the same air trapped inside
    the pc is only circulating the same air this is only one possibility for your issues but its the 1st place id look
    for heat issues
    & from what your telling me
    81 degree Celsius = 177.8 degree Fahrenheit
    i think 212 degrees is boiling , you could damn near cook your meals in a machine that hot
    i leave my pc on almost always i have not turned it off in some time & im running
    30 degree Celsius = 86 degree Fahrenheit
