Driver probs or duff FX5200 ???

Hi got some more problems with this card so much that I’ve had to take it out of the PC and put a Nvidia Geforce2 MX400 which is working with no probs.
Back to the problem the PC seems to be below is a message I’ve sent to MSI tech help.
I have a MSI FX5200-VTD128 video card installed in the MSI KT6 Delta-FISR motherboard, running at 2800+ Processor. I have installed all the latest drivers and also tried some earlier drivers for the card but the system is very unstable re-booting or hanging from the error reports I seem to of traced the errors back to the Graphics card. Below is a copy of one of the error reports I have retrieved from c:\windows\logfile\watchdog.

This leads me to think there is a problem with the card as I get the same report with 3 different drivers “for the card the one that came with the card NVIDIA’s latest driver & the latest driver off the MSI site.
I have also noticed on system boot when the information about the graphics card is displayed there is no information.

OK thanks for the reply what would be a good PSU to go with my system setup as I’d like to sort out this problem. I did read somewhere that Q-tech weren’t that good.

MBP internal drive failure causes external drive probs. Weird...

I've been booting off an external drive for some months now. I figured it would save wear on the internal drive, and when my boot drive eventually failed (the external one) it would be quicker and a lot cheaper to swap that out with another external one than to have to change the internal drive. I use FW800 and not seen any performance hit.
Yesterday (with the whole system booted from the external drive) it started going really buggy, everything was painfully slow - like, virtually at a standstill, and with a very slow wi-fi internet connection.
I tried rebooting. It would only boot from the external drive, and only if I held down the option key and selected a boot from the options that appear. Otherwise just the apple symbol and an endless twirly. It wouldn't boot from the internal drive +at all.+
Eventually I booted from the SL disk and ran disk utilities. To my surprise the internal drive was corrupted in some way and couldn't be repaired. I wiped the drive and restored it using Time Machine (stored on yet another drive). Everything then worked fine, except for the slow wi-fi.
So, +why should a corrupted internal drive stop the MBP booting from an external drive?+ This is worrying for me if the machine ever goes down at work and I have to rely on booting from another drive, which then might not boot properly and is buggy.
To complicate matters (or does it offer a clue?) this morning I booted from the usual external drive. It worked ok, but wi-fi was still slow. Another Mac here was showing the same internet slowness, so I figured it was maybe the ISP.
Then the MBP itself started going slow n buggy again. A check on the internal drive showed no return of yesterday's probs. On a hunch I unplugged the router from the mains and plugged it in again. The wi-fi then worked properly as did everything else.
+Why would a buggy router affect my MBP? Could it have corrupted the internal drive?? Why should any of that affect the machine's ability to boot from an external drive..?+
Thoughts anyone?

clicked 'solved' but the credit went to the wrong place!
it's solved, thanks to clinton:

Ext Drive Prob:Upgrade 10.3.9 to 10.4.3 SeriTek 1VE4 PCI SATA cntlr issue

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone else has reported issues with the Firmtek PCI SATA controller during upgrades to Tiger.
I did a basic Tiger install on a clean drive, then migrated my user account & apps, then applied 10.4.3 combo update then installed FCP Suite & used system update to get the remaining updates it recommended. (security fix & FCP suite component updates.) Did this on a G4 1G DP MDD system 300/16 PATA Maxtor boot drive and on a G5 2.5DP 250/8 Hitachi boot drive system and both exhibit the same condition regarding external SATA drives.
Basically, the card still works and the drives show up on the desktop, I just can't right-click and "eject" them for hot-swap. (which I used all the time under 10.3.9 to move video files from system to system.) System profiler can't find the external drives attached to the Firmtek card, but I saw that was a known bug. If I physically power down the external enclosure, or remove (hotswap) one of the drives, I still get the old dialogue box about SATA configuration has changed and everything appears to work properly. This just sounds scary since the drives aren't dismounted (ejected) properly. Also, I have noticed that sometimes only one of the two drives in the enclosure is detected at startup (neither of the drives is the boot drive).
Just looking for answers. I have had no problems whatsoever with the Firmtek stuff up til now.
Paul
Here's the reply Seritek gave me (and I did the firmware update to 5.1.3, but that didn't fix the eject problem).

"System profiler does not show the external drives under ATA or Serial ATA"
This is a known bug from Apple, and we have reported to Apple. A firmware up date won't help. BTW: we have the latest firmware vs. 5.1.3 . You're welcome to update the firmware. Please make sure to read the note before you update the firmware.

Subject: Technical Support Question 1ve4 pci card
Hi,
I have a seritek 1ve4 pci card connected to a 2 bay external enclosure.
Today I upgraded from osx 10.3.9 to 10.4.3.
Now my external sata drives show up on the desktop, but if I right click
on them I am unable to "eject" since that option does not appear to let me
do a hotswap. This always worked under 10.3.9. Do I need a firmware upgrade?
This same behavior happens on my G4 dual 1G MDD system and
also a G5 dual 2.5G system
Here is the system profile for the pci controller card

I have the same problem with no recognition of the Seritek /1V4 card. After numerous reinstalls, I got it to recognize it with only two drives attached, but it didn't last and now I can't get it back. Very frustrating since the older Seritek 2 port card works fine.
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Elite pro driver prob

If sombody have any idea that i can do?
?p.s sorry about my bad english ))))))))))

If you have a 7. setup, then it's better to enable DD EX detection (and DTS ES), so it creates the rear center channel in the rear speakers (same goes for CMSS-3DHeadphone as it creates virtual speakers), but on a 5. setup it should be off.
Dynamic range it's a matter of taste; on 'Full', in order to listen clearly the speech you'll have to crank up the volume, therefore when the "action" begins it will be very loud , it's more theater-like but you may receive complaints from neighbors or even from your family (specially at late hours). On 'Night' mode it tries to minimize the difference between loud sounds and soft sounds.

845pe max 2 and floppy drive probs

I've got a 845pe max 2 fisr mobo
My floppy drives' LED is continuously illuminated when I turn on.
Windows 98se says it's an NEC floppy drive even though I didn't insert any drivers for it or anything. When I put a floppy disk in to it the drive can't read and a message in windows indicates that there is no disk inserted.
The thing is the drive worked when I first set up my system but that is the one and only time. I suppose it's a positive thing that the LED works.
Any ideas anyone?

Don't worry, it won't hurt your motherboard. It definitely sounds like that's the problem (floppy cabble upside down). Simply spin it around, and it should fix your problem (the "key" as you put it is facing down on my floppy drive).
If that doesn't fix the problem, try using a different cable.

648 max, Win98 NDIS.vdx driver prob?

Just installed Win98 on my new 648 Max.
It installed ok, but on statup it says error: NDIS problem
(forget the exact wording), you must restart computer.
I bypassed NDIS.vdx with safe mode step by step
start, and removed Dial up Network in control panel,
as seems this is what uses this driver.
It now boots up OK , but of course no dial up network!
I have the onboard LAN disabled.
Any Ideas

It's probobly the same as this one.

9.2.1 upgrade - hard disk driver prob.

Hi all,
System
PowerPC G4 dig audio dual533
768mb ram
40gb HD - 9.1OS
120gb HD - OSX tiger
I have installed a 2nd hand 120Gb HD which I totally erased writing 0's over it then partitioned (1) MacOS extended.
Loaded OSX tiger onto it and all is sweet no problems at all and loving the new interface!
Now the problem is I want to use my Illust9 & Phsop6 on the old 40gb HD which is running OS9.1.
Tried to access one of the progs via Tiger, classic started up and basically hung on the startup screen so I had to cancel it. That is when the problems started.
I booted up the OS9.1 drive and lost use of my enternet300 adsl internet connection. Reloaded adsl software, didn't fix. Also missing Quicktime VR plus tried using Illust9 and got systems error of controls trip extension. A few other things seemed to go wrong as well.
Read somewhere that it was highly rec to upgrade to 9.2.2 to utilise the classic environment effectively.
As I had lost my internet connection on the old HD I downloaded the Mac OS 9.2.1 Update.smi, Mac OS 9.2.2 Update.smi and HardDriveUpdate1.smi files from my Tiger HD.
Back to the OS9.1 HD to install the updates and it comes up with.....
The hard disk driver on the disk "PowerMac G4 Install" cannot be updated with this program because the disk is not an Apple hard disk. Contact the manufacturer of your computer or hard disk to see if you need to update the driver.
After alot of stuffing around I have done the following in this order.
after each one it didn't fix the problem
1. OS9.1 software restore in place
2. OS9.1 software restore clean install
3. Erased HD and initilised 1 part partition using OS9.1 software install CD
then installed new OS9.1 by booting up from install CD
4. Erased HD and initilised 1 part partition using OSX tiger software install DVD from 120gb HD, then installed new OS9.1 by booting up from install CD
thinking this would sort the driver problem but no go.
same problem when trying to upgrade to 9.2.1!!!!!!!!!!!
any ideas?
40gb HD is a IBM-IC35L040AVER07-0
appreciated

PowerPC G4 digital audio dp533 Mac OS X (10.4.5)
PowerPC G4 digital audio dp533 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

OK,
I have Erased the 40gbHD and erased, initilised it with a 1 part partition using disk utility from the OSX tiger on the 120gb HD, then installed a new OS9.1 by booting up from the OS9.1 install CD.
Used the 9.2.1 upgrade which was downloaded from Apple.
Followed thier instructions in the read me file by
turning extensions to 9.1 base
make sure file sharing is off (wasn't on in the first place)
then restarted
no other apps running and straight into starting the upgrade
started the install process
unchecked the option to update driver
starts to install goes for about 6% and then the box comes up with......
This version of Mac OS can not be installed over the localized version of Mac OS on the disk named "XXXXXXX XXXXX".
Please choose a different destination disk, or perform a clean installation.
SURELY IT CAN"T BE THIS HARD TO UPGRADE FROM 9.1 to 9.2.1 to 9.2
COME ON APPLE help me out here!!!!! FFS!
can't do a clean install, haven't got the disks!!!!!

Pacman -- hard drive prob

When I use pacman to search or upgrade packages, my laptop's hard drive makes a strange noise (a squeal). The noise is completely different from normal operation (ie: using slocate, loading programs). It doesn't sound healthy.
Is it a problem with the hard drive itself? No; I've replaced the drive (diff manufacturer even) and the problem still exists.
Anyone else with a laptop experience this?
Would you try pacman -Ss audio (for example) and put you ear close to the drive? Let me know...

Good idea Phrakture;
I tried out the 'defrag' method before I posted though.
It's odd, I wonder why this is pacman specific. It's quite unlike the sound normal access to the hard drive produces when searching for files (ie slocate).
Perhaps incorporating database functionality into pacman will fix this...
I wonder if it is still being considered.
By the way - the room must be absolutely quiet before you can hear the squealing. It happens for a few seconds right after issuing pacman -Ss or -Sy etc. Again, it doesn't seem to be a good sound.

Muvo tx fm driver prob

everytime i connect my muvo tx fm to my computer, i always have to install the driver because my computer does not recognize my unit. do i need to update my driver so that i will install it once?

We've seen from some Nano Plus users that the latest version on new players has FM Recording back on again so we'll just have to wait for Creative to post a later version to the website. PB

SoundBlaster Live 5.1 Driver prob

I am installing its driver by its original CD.it seems to be installed but when i open device manageri see that Creative Emu0K Audio Device is not installed.this time i tried to install from here i mean from the device manager window.it seems it is copying drivers ,but after some seconds?it is giving a message as ,?the installation is not succesful,some files may be missing....etc etc..i dont understand why.and so in the control panel there is no sound devices seen. what must i do?

tubakumbara,
Have you tried a cleansweep? (You might also want to try removing the card after uninstalling and booting without it before reinstalling.)

Installing driver prob

Hi i just installed windows xp 64bit edition, and installed the new 64bit driver for my audigy2 zs, but not all apps were working, so i went back to windows xp pro 32bit, now i'm trying to install my driver with a disk i got from my friend, but each time when i try to install the driver it keep popping up saying that it can not find a soundblaster card, and make sure i installed it correctly.
I have checked all the wireing and even trying to install the drivers from control panel in device manager using the disk. This way works, but it still won't give me full function of the audigy 2. I would like to install my driver using the disk, does anyone know what could be the problem i'm having? Thanx in advance for your reply.
the disk i have is not orginal, but a burnt copy, but it's the same disk i had before that i made a copy for my friend. I recently lost my disk so i borrow it back from him. could this be the problem b/c it's not orginal disk? But how come my friend can use my burnt copy just fine?

is there any other way to install my drivers without the cd and still get all of the audigy 2 zs functionality? LIke the sound control on the tray to control my bass and treble? That's the most thing i'm missing. I guess what i'm saying that i can install the drivers by just going through the control panel way, but i can't get the software that's in the disk, so if there is another way please let me know. Thank you. And if u do have a copy of the audigy 2 zs platinum cd please share with me too. Thank you.

Sounblaster live usb driver prob

Hello everyone. Have encountered a problem with the 'standalone' driver update for my usb soundblaster li've. I installed the driver - without anything else, just as is - but there isn't an option to activate 5. sound anywhere - done the usual things - control panel etc. Worse I couldn't and still can't find an uninstall option. Nowhere. I've looked, control panel, everywhere. So ... I foolishly installed the stuff off the cd - which worked, I got 5. sound, but then I was getting some horrible noises with cubase so I decided to try uninstalling everything but just can't. I removed eveything I could, but couldn't find how to get rid of the standalone update. I just want to install the drivers cleanly - and thereby hopefully get cubase to work without the noise that I get with the creative drivers - it works with windows drivers, but I get really bad latency problems.
I wonder if anyone could advise me on how to fully uninstall all the creative stuff, and then if I ought to install stuff off the CD first and THEN the update?
Oh I'm running XP Pro, via chipset, nvidia graphics.
Thanks for any help offered.

?The speakers no longer work at all with the headset unplugged. The Li've card is still set as the default (I've tried with the 'use only default devices' checked and unchecked, neither work). I've verified the checkboxes and sliders in the Volume control settings. All the basics (I think) have been covered, and there is still no sound coming from the speakers.

Strange IDE/SATA Driver prob in Win XP w/K8N Neo Plat (skt 754)

This is my first attempt at building on the Socket 754 A64 platform.
Previously I've built systems based on Intel and AMD solutions, and encountered different boards with mixed SATA/IDE and RAID options.
My installed drives include
SATA1 primary master
1. WD 160 8mb cache 7200RPM SATA drive
IDE1 primary master
1. Memorex 8x/4x/8x/4x/16x DVD+-RW 48x/32x/48x CDRW
Upon installing WinXP with the MSI provided RAID and NVIDIA SATA drivers to a single WD 160GB SATA drive with the RAID options in bios disabled, I get a successful install. However, listed under System -> Device Manager -> IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers are 4 different components.
1. Nvidia CK8S Serial ATA Controller (v2.5)
2. Nvidia CK8S Serial ATA Controller (v2.5)
3. Nvidia Nforce3 250 Parallel ATA Controller (v2.6)
4. Standard IDE/ESDI Hard Disk Controller
Hardware translation:
1. Device type: IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers
Manufacturer: NVIDIA Corporation
Location: PCI bus 0, device 10, function 0
2. Device type: IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers
Manufacturer: NVIDIA Corporation
Location: PCI bus 0, device 9, function 0
3. Device type: IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers
Manufacturer: NVIDIA Corporation
Location: PCI bus 0, device 8, function 0
4. Device type: IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers
Manufacturer: NVIDIA Corporation
Location: Unknown
The 3rd device I listed above is not functioning correctly according to Win XP. However if I disable it, then the whole OS will crash, so it must be functioning somehow to some extent. Win XP says,
"This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)
If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system."
Originally this device was the same version as the other two, and when I tried upgrading all three to version 2.6, I recieved an error trying to upgrade with the first 2 devices and the 3rd upgraded but still shows that it is not working properly according to windows. Also looking at the drivers that they are all using,
Devices 1-3 all use nvatabus.sys and idecoi.dll ver: 5.10.2600.0446 . Its actually interesting that they all 3 are using the same drivers and one is reporting to be a different version.
Anyway, my question is has anyone else encountered this strange problem, and is there a fix to make windows happy and the computer perform as it should?
Thanks.
--John

I don't know what has happened .
But you should right click the "4. Standard IDE/ESDI Hard Disk Controller" and uninstall it .
Then update drivers on the PATA controller 3. Nvidia Nforce3 250 Parallel ATA Controller (v2.6) (right click/driver/update)
And update the drivers to "Nvidia CK8S Parallell ATA Controller (v2.5)"
Use the supplied driver disk .
I guess you have anwered yes to install nvidia sw driver from the
nforce3 chipset bundle .And thats the reason for the NF3 v2.6 version .
I have v2.5 CK8S on both ATA and SATA controller (one of each)
Xp was installed with F6 and driver disk .

X-Fi I/O Drive prob

Hello there! I bought Sound Blaster X-Fi Platinum Fatalty Champion... and now I have a problem - sound card I installed works normally, but? X-Fi I/O Dri've doesn't works!!! I tryed drivers from Installation Kit CD, i tryed drivers from creative site, but it still doesn't works. Anybody knows about that problem?My system is:Windows XP SP2Motherboard ASUS P5NsliProcessor? Intel Core Duo 2,3Videocard? GeForce 8800GTX?

Assuming you have the bay device, not the external box, are you plugging power into the card itself or just to the i/o bay device? If your plugging into the card you need to unplug it and then only connect pwr t with a floppy pwr connector to the dri've bay. The instructions were always hazy about it but you only need pwr hooked directly to the card if you have the external device as it gets its power from the card. If you have that set right then Im not sure what to suggest. When I got my x-fi fatality pro?it worked a champ right from the box without any problems at all. I suppose it could be a bad unit, it does happen, but the pwr connection needing corrected seemed to fix probs for others in the past. Blame it on poorly worded manuals LOL

Multimedia Audio Controller/driver prob

Help me please.
OK i just got my first sound card today; an X-Fi xtream music.
And i have the problem where i cant install the drivers. I get Multimedia Audio controller as a yellow question mark in the device manager, when XP copies files from the CD to the windows/drivers32 folders (or what ever it is called) it does not work and says there is a data error and this is after installing from the creative cd and XP still says new hardware detected. I have seen a lot of posts about this but the answers are not working for me.
I HAVE DISABLED MY ONBOARD AUDIO through bios, which seemed to fix everyone else's problems.
I have completely uninstalled every audio device/driver i could get my hands on and then reinstalled as a selecti've startup, in the system configuration utility thingo. I cant get rid of 'legacy audio drivers' but i think thats to be expected
I have a logitech quickcam webcam, which i have disabled if that helps anything
I downloaded and ran the 40MB driver update.
I have tried using other PCI slots (do u need to to reinstall the drivers after trying a new slot?)
I am using an asus p4s800-mx se motherboard, Win XP SP2
and i think that sums up everything i have been doing for the last 6 to 7 hours
Also someone was saying irq stuff, i have no idea but here is mine:
http://members.optusnet.com.au/~mike440/irq.JPGAlso apparently i am "ACPI uniprocessor PC"
Does any of this help narrow down my problem? I bet it is something basic, it always is but i am just sick to death of restarting and reinstalling. I hope it does not come down to me reinstalling XP, i only did that the other month and it takes for ever to get my settings back the way i like it and it would not be worth having a soundcard.
Thanks
