Different anomaly every time I boot Need some assistance Please

Hello,
I have just put a new system together and am having serious problems in the boot up. Each time it boots I am getting a different anomaly. Here is a list of them, each happen a different time I start the system and have occurred multiple times in no order.
1.   No video
2.   8Xtreme splash screen then freeze
3.   boots stating “CMOS check sum error: defaults loaded” then freezes
4.   boots further stating something about nothing connected to the FastTrak controller : No Bios Installed.
5.   Runs DMI Pool then freezes.
I have only gotten into the Bios 2 times out of about 30 tries and on almost every reboot my keyboard does not function. The keyboard in the PS2 port never works and has only worked a few times in the USB port. I am also having an issue with the MEMORY. All 4 chips are not registering.
I have tried several combinations of different things like clearing the CMOS, pulling 2 of the Memory chips out, changing the keyboard port. It is really the strangest thing I have ever seen happen. Because I am having a different result every time I boot I can not trouble shoot this. If anyone has any idea please let me know as I am just plain stumped.
My system:
Main board - MSI GNBMAX-FISR E7205 8x AGP D
Processor – Intel Pentium 4 (Northwood) 3.06 GHz, 533MHz FSB, Socket 478
Video card – MSI FX5600-VTD256 GeForce FX AGP 8x 256MB DDR
Memory – (4) 512M-PC2100 (184 pin DDR DIMM non ECC 266MHz)
HHD – (2) Maxtor 120GB 7200RPM
Thank you in advance,
Acinom

Thank you for your reply!! I have plexi-glass standoffs on it so I am sure that there is no shorting out in that way, perhaps another though (I will check). I am still having problems with the boot up changing each time but I am able to get in to the system about every 3 boot ups but again the board is not recognizing all four memory chips only two of them. AND I just restarted and got a black screen... rebooted again and it froze on the 8xtreme spash.... It's just crazy. Any ideas??? I am not a complete newbie at this I have built other systems and I have a full Innovatek water cooling system (upgraded) on it running just fine. My monitor is showing on (green light) it is a ViewSonic but no picture right now only black.

Need to re-apply Airport Extreme settings every time i boot up..

Hi,
Apologies if this has been dealt with a million times - couldn't figure out an easy way to search for it...
I am successfully routing cable internet via ethernet to the WAN port of my Airport Express, and from their via the ethernet LAN port to my Mac Pro. I'm using the Airport to also get internet to my iphone and laptop. Everything works. Only problem is, every time I boot up my Mac Pro, there is no internet. I have to go into Airport Utility, alter any parameter, then alter it back, so that I can then press "apply". After a few seconds, everything kicks in, and I'm good to go..
Anyone know why?
thanks!
Malcolm

OK, so for anyone who might have a similar problem from now to eternity - my gift to you, the solution....
I had my 2 airports set up as a WDS. I had mistakenly had the airport Extreme (the one that sends the hardwired internet to the Mac PRo) set up as "WDS remote" and the Express, which receives wireless internet, set up as "WDS main". Flip those 2 settings, and everything seems to boot up fine now.

Every time i boot up, i still have 3 or 4 windows open

how do i close the open windows, so they don't open up every time i boot up

Dealing With The Resume Feature of Lion
Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.
If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner.
It is possible to completely stop the Resume feature although I'm unconvinced that it is that annoying. Nevertheless see the following:
If you have not yet done so you must first make your /Home/Library/ folder visible. Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the prompt paste the following command line:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN. Quit the Terminal application.
In the Finder navigate to the /Home/Library/Saved Application State/ folder. Delete the contents of the folder. Back up to the /Home/Library/ folder. Select the Saved Application State folder. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Sharing and Permissions panel at the bottom click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window.
Quit all open programs except the Finder (this is very important.) Next, navigate to the /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ folder. Look for a .plist file with "com.apple.loginwindow." in the file name followed by some numbers in hexadecimal. Select the file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window and in the Sharing and Permissions panel click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window. If you also find a file with the same filename but with a last extension of ".lockfile," then you should delete it.
The above should eliminate the Resume feature system-wide. Note that any future system updates or upgrades will likely undo these changes. You will then need to repeat this procedure assuming there are no major changes in OS X related to it.

Satellite Pro 6100 shows a message 'Built-in HDD Password' every time I boot it up

Hello, my computer is showing a message "Built-in HDD Password" every time I boot it up. I've never set any passwords on the hard disk in the past, though in desperation of trying to get the laptop running, I have tried all the possible passwords but theres no answer, I would appreciate any help/advice. what do I have to do?

as I said before, I need the information that's in the Hard disk. I'm trying to acces the HDD via a usb2.0 IDE adapter, but the computer doesn't recognice the hardware, so I'm lookin for the driver, does any body know where can I get it?
bye

'Select WLAN Network' every time I boot! Grr.

I can't wait to get rid of my Nokia E71 - the most infuriating, badly designed, buggy piece of technology ever 'created' (more like shoved into existence). In the meantime I am stuck with it on contract, and have one (well 15) particularly annoying bug:
Every time it boots, it says 'Select WLAN Network'. Of course the geniuses at Nokia do not tell you what application is requesting this, or why, and no matter how many times I select my home network, and enter the WPA key (which is already saved as the default access point anyway as well as already being connected via VoIP), it asks me again and again every time I reboot.
If I am out of WLAN (it's called Wi-Fi Nokia BTW) range, it gives a 'No WLAN Network Found' error on boot instead, and forces me to press OK. Absolutely waste of time.
Can you advise how to remove this one-aggravating-annoyance-too-many-feature please?
If I email Nokia support, they just tell me to take my phone to my nearest service centre. I will do one day, and shove it up their ~~~TRANSMISSION ENDS

What provider are you under contract with? As my E71 certainly does NOT do what you describe. I have seen on these forums that the provider 3 (or someone else) has custom firmware that apparently attaches to the network all the time for some reason. The posts I have read so far do not mention anything happening like yours so I am unsure what is going on.

How can I keep iPhot 09 from starting up every time I boot my Intel iMac? I am using OSX 10.6.8

How can I keep iPhoto 09 from opening every time I boot my Intel iMac? I am using OSX 10.6.8

IF it is opening in import mode:
Do you have an external drive or device (iPhone, USB key) plugged into iPhoto? If so, there are some photo files on it that make iPhoto think it has photos to import. Remove the device, delete the photos or move the photos to another folder on the device.
If it is not openeing in import mode, it must be in your startup items. Drag it from there.

Every time I boot my laptop i get a message 'The Procedure entry point-NSConcreteStack could not be located in the dynamic link library CoreFoundation.dll.

The Procedure entry point-NSConcreteStack could not be located in the dynamic link library CoreFoundation.dll.
I get this message every time I boot my laptop...I have uninstalled itunes and all its files and re installed three times....exactly the same result

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

After resetting my backbook pro to factory settings, it freezes every time it boots up. What's the problem?

After resetting my backbook pro to factory settings, it freezes every time it boots up. What's the problem?

by the way, you can also try to safe boot up your mac for safe mode. maybe it can work and you can deal with problem there.
for safe boot:
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).

IPhoto starts every time we boot our MBP

iPhoto starts up every time we boot our MBP from a full shutdown. How do we make it stop?
Thanks!

Since you are learning, when you right-click or ctrl-click on a dock icon, you will get a contextual menu. One of the Items is to have the program start at login. You may have accidentally done this with iPhoto which may explain how it got into the login items.

Every time I boot, nether in OSX or windows I get a screen the same as the boot screen just with a buffering wheel. Please Help.

Hello,
I'm currently in mac recovery. I have a 21.5'' iMac (I think late 2011). I'm running OSX mountain lion and I think its kept up to date. Every time I boot, nether in OSX or windows I get a screen the same as the boot screen just with a buffering wheel (not the beachball one). This seems to go on for ever (at least 3 hours) ant will not boot. Booting in safe mode does not work and results in the same problem. As I said earlier I can get tom recovery mode. Thanks Oliver.
I have on/for my machine:
Mac OSX mountain lion
Windows 7 Pro 64bit
4GB of ram
OSX 10 FULL backups (External 2TB drive)
500GB HDD
Please ask if you would like more Information.

Hello, disconnect any external drives for now.
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

Imac loose airport network setting like password every time i boot...

Hi everybody,
maybe someone can help me. I use a imacg5. I connect via airport extreme to an avm router. I use WPA. Every time i boot my imac, there is no connection to the router. I have to go to internet connection, choose a "other" network, type in a new name for the network, switch to WPA and enter my password. After that everything is fine and works until i rebbot the machine. After that, the network is gone and i have to make one again. This only means, i have to do that under the airport icon at the top of os. Under preferences, network there is still the connection with correct password, but the imac will not use it. Also there is no possibility to save my password. My qestion is: how is it possible to save my network, encryption and password. Liek i told, under preferences everything is fine, the connection stays there after reboot. Only the internet connection will lost all settings. Maybe anyone can help, i´am a new mac user too, owning my imac only for 3 months (cannot believe, i worked so much years with a pc)...
Thanks a lot

this was a user problem, my adminstrator account was gone

TS3284 This apple fix is crazy, I have to this every time I boot the computer, is this right, is there another way to permanently make my calibrated profile automatically boot too !

This profile fix suggested by apple as a workaround to set calibrated profiles is most un Apple like, I have to do this preference/colur fix every time I boot, Is there a better way to have my preferred profile boot too !

Are you in fact using 10.7.3? The article you link to was for a once-off problem after an upgrade to 10.6.3.
How did you make the custom profile? I would suggest deleting any non-Apple profiles, remake your profile, and see does it auto-load on boot.
If it doesn't, then immediately after boot run console.app and scan through the console messages from the boot process and see are any relevant ones being posted. Then repost your problem details in one of the 10.7 (Lion) forums.

Software Update Runs Every Time I Boot Up

As soon as I updated OS X to 10.5.8, the Software Update runs every time I boot my MacBook. This occurs even though the "Check for Updates" option is NOT selected (in System Preferences|Software Update).
This indicates (to me) that, since Software Update is not working properly, I can no longer trust that my machine has the current updates.
Any ideas???

It's probably in your login items. Launch Software Update, right-click its Dock icon, and ensure +Open at login+ is unchecked.
