Found Solution to 2 months of reboots and non-POST may help others
This may be a bit of a read but here's my story.
I've had this Neo Platinum with a a64 2800+ for close to a year now, and 2 months ago was the first of what i thought was "buy a new system" signs. Specs are in sig.
i've had this machine overclocked 267 HTx3 x9 multiplier 166 mem 3-3-3-8 1T = 2.4GHz All stock voltages since the first week i owned this rig (self built) and only two months ago did these problems start. I notice the first weird thing about 4 months ago but everythign was running stable so i just pawned it off to nothing, i was cleaning my tower out one day and noticed that the uv reactive blue ATX header in my motherboard was BROWN!.. so i pulled out the header and took a closer look. The 3.3V (Orange) lines on the top (orientation installed in board) had gotten soo hot they had burned the plastic to a dark brown.. now i thought first off wow that got pretty hot heheh but checked my voltages in core cell and everything seemed fine.
Ok jump to two months ago.. started having reboots maybe once a week.. gaming usually, that went on for a couple weeks.. then it started every day, then every half day, then every hour etc... it got to the point where it would power on from cold.. and power off a second later.. no bios, no beeps nothin. So of course i ripped the board, cpu, ram, and psu out of the case and tried it barebones. After a week of fiddling with it.. (tried different ram (known to be memtest stable), psu (enermax 430W) and vid card) to no avail.. so i let it sit for a few days off.. came back and tried it again.. oh looky.. it posted... went into bios checked some stuff and F10 reboot... no post.. i thought ?! trying to determine if you've got bad ram, psu mobo or cpu without good alternatives to test sucks... heh so i'm thinkin it must be ram.. after a couple hours i thought hey i should see if i get post error beeps with no ram in it.. tried that.. huh... no post.. no beep nothing... reset.. BEEP.. BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE (apparently it hung there so i'm like will it's not a ram problem hahah.. so then i'm thinkin ok it's PSU or CPU or MOBO then. stuck what i had taken out back together (still outside case)
i cleared CMOS.. oh looky it posted ( i could do this over andover all day.. it would only post after clear cmos) so i'm thinkin.. ok after you clear cmos this board runs at a really slow cpu ram speed just to get goin... so i get into health monitoring.. and looky here... 3.3V reads 2.89V..... that's not right. So i stick in my other original PSU (from sig) and it was a little better 2.98 sometimes touching over 3V.. still not right.
I eventually got it to work at 200 HTx3 RAM@166 x9 mulitplier.. hey it got me in to play NFSU2 (i refuse to use my celeron 3.6G for that.. chop chop chop)
this ran for a while.. then same problems came back.. no post no nothin but on off on off.. messed around with it for a bit and suddenly.. bang! everything went like a dream.. so i started slowly taking my settings back to normal.. worked like a dream... went back to my overclocked settings.. worked like a charm.. i'm sittin there not knowing wether to throw the damned thing out the window or cry in happiness it's workin hahah.. all this time my 3.3V was still under 3V in corecell.
ok time for what i found that really fixed er up.. i went to my buds today (network admin, oh btw i've been a pc tech for 14 years.. and i will NEVER forget this little trick, i'm amazed how much i still learn everyday.. even after 14 years of crap (mostly micro$oft
So out of the blue he says... hey.. i wonder if that ATX connector got that hot, that maybe the metal has degraded somewhat on those pins in the header... i slapped my forehead and kicked myself in the ass hehe never even crossed my mind. So we get out the precision screwdrivers and gently give all 4 sides of the 3 pins a good scrape down. Plug in.. goto system monitor.. BAM!!! 3.2v i was still shaking my head at this point that after 2 months of pissin with this thing that's all it was..
Figured i'd better make sure.. plug another psu in.. 3.2V i'm like geezus.. SOOOO NOW i'm stuck with wondering.. what the hell made my mobo draw THAT much current that it almost melted the ATX header.. and on the 3.3V rail too. i wouldn't think that just overclocking would do that.. especially when i'm using default voltages across the board.. for those who are wondering my temps are 35 idle (remember speedfan STOPS my cpu fan) and 52 full prime95 load (fan 100%) CnQ is enabled
I'd love to see someone from MSI explain all the power issues with this board (keyboard issues, USB issues, Burnt ATX header issues ETC. heh)
I guess now that my system is runnin like a dream.. i'll have to test my original PSu (aerocool) on my celery and see if the 3.3 rail is pooched or not.
Thought i might be able to help someone sidestep the grief ... oh the 2 months of grief that i went through
Any questions on other issues i'm happy to answer as well
Sig Addition: I refuse to RMA ANYTHING.. unless it's got blown caps
Wow nice fix... I dont think I would have ended up finding out what happened, good job

iTunes, app store , iBooks store, etc won't load and I don't know why. Everything else works fine, and I've rebooted it. The problem is still there and I know I have a good Internet connection. Help please?
Have you tried disconnecting and re-connecting to your network ?. And when you say rebooted do you mean a reset ? If not then try that : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
You could also try closing those apps completely. From the home screen (i.e. not with any of those apps 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the iTunes, App Store and iBooks apps to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar. -
Can't see monthly depreciation in a non-posting depr area
Hi Folks,
Is there any report where I can see monthly depreciation based on a non-posting depreciation area?
Althought I found out many reports that show accumulated depreciation, I couldn't find one to see month-to-month depreciation fee.
The S_ALR_87012936 report has 2 problems: 1st - It shows only 5 periods; 2sd - it shows wrong values to my non-posting depreciation area.
Thank you very much.Hi.
S_ALR_87012936 report would be perfect if I could see more than 5 monthes. I don't know, but I'm able to see only from Jan to May in the monthly view. Is there a way to see ahead?
All others reports only show Accumulated Depreciation, not monthly.
If I ask for 31.12.2010, I will take only the Year Depreciation and not December-2010 depreciation.
Any tip?
Thank you all again. -
***READ*** iTunes Download and Launch for XP Solved, May Help Others*******
Well after hours of scouring my computer I have found the answer and solved my problem. People might want to make a note of this because it was simple and much less frustrating then some of the other instructions I have found on here:
1st- After downloading Itunes I was getting the "itunes encountered a problem and must shut down" error when trying to launch it. I was also getting the "buffer overrun" error when attempting to start Quick Time.
2- I hit ctrl, Alt, delete to bring up the task manager. I noticed 3 processes running in the background- "iPodService.exe", "iTunesHelper.exe" and "AppleMobileDevic...". this was a surprise to me since I never downloaded iTunes before....HOWEVER I discovered by searching my computer that my 17 year old son had about a year ago. He attempted to uninstall the programs BUT these processes remained even though nothing showed up in the installed programs from start>all programs. Also did not show up in the add/remove installed software. In any event here is what I did:
I first ended all three processes in task manager. I second went into Start>Search and ran 3 seperate searches for "iPod", "Apple" and "iTunes". Deleted any and all references and dll's. Be careful with the Apple search do not simply select all of your findings and hit delete because applets shows up in the search and u need them for your other programs. Simply delete anything from Apple Computer. Then I ran CCleaner which is available free from www.ccleaner.com. Click on issues and it will give u a laundry list of missing dll's and unused ones. Then by hitting Fix selected issues it safely deletes the registry entries no longer being used. For safety it gives you the option of backing up your registry entries but i have had zero problems doing it. Run that a few times till u get the "No Issues" found message. Then I closed all and redownloaded the new iTunes with quick time and all seems to be working!!! I just got my iPod so im gonna test further but as far as the downloading and opening of the programs on my XP that solved the issue. Hope this helps others.teshlachris,
iTunes, like other applications, will sometimes have issues trying to install from a different admin user than the one used to first install it.
Did your son install iTunes with a different account? If so, your previous post did not include the fact your son had previously installed iTunes, or I would have suggested trying the install while logged in under his account.
Hope this helps,

Anyone found solution to 10.5.2 upgrade and font problem?
I just upgraded to 10.5.2 and I'm having the same problem with fonts "disappearing." One in particular, ITC Zapf Dingbats--a standard font in use by graphics professionals everywhere. I'm using Quark 6.5.2.
Unfortunately, I upgraded to 10.5.2 at home and at work (MacPro work, iMac G5 home). Same problem now exists at both places. This is happening for me in Quark. I haven't tested other programs because I'm on a deadline.
I've cleaned disk caches, run Font Doctor, reinstalled original font(s), yes--restarting each time after doing a single change--checked forums, etc., upgraded font software, taken font software off (in case there was a conflict), reimported fonts into Font Book. You name it, I've tried it.
Only thing I ran across that might point the way to a solution is that the same thing happened with fonts on upgrade 10.3.
Because of deadlines, I ended up changing all of the ITC Zapf Dingbat fonts in a 60-page document to the body copy and used an old-fashioned bullet. It is not the optimal typographic solution, but the only one I could come up with to meet this deadline.
This is a huge problem for me as I haven't found a solution anywhere. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated. I'm an experienced Mac User (since 1985), but I'm at my wit's end on what to try. And yes, I've even zapped the PRAM.
Thanks,See my response to this question in the other thread you posted it in here.

I have removed references to firefox from the registry and still have the problem, I checked with windows installer cleanup and it isn't there eitherIf files already have been downloaded then remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.<br />
You can also delete active-update.xml and possibly updates.xml (stores the update history).

keep losing sound when reopening logic would like to now if this is a lion related problem or logic , setting do not change.
All ways" save as" and name project and regularly "save".
this is really getting on my nerves i've swop to mac on advice it's a far more stable platform for audio, daw's and music.
I tend to use my computers in short 20 to 30 min sessions several times a day.
i had to revert to my windows computer because as well as learning logic pro and trying to figure out a new operating system it seems apple have adopted microsoft's approach, putting out a operating system and getting the hobbie techs to tell them whats wrong, this is like buying a car or house that you haft to finish building or wait for the contractors to come back to you, in there own sweettime.
not impressed.I have check hardware and everything seems to be ok.
How? Did you run the AHT from system DVD #1?
after that first restart i get a blue screen.
You updated to OS 10.6.8 and everything else that needs updating?
If you did not repair permissions and restarted your installations, do the following:
Disconnect all devices from the computer then do the following:
Boot up from your Snow Leopard Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
Once this process has been completed restart your computer and repair permissions directly from Disk Utility.
If Disk Utility is unable to complete the repair, you will need to use a stronger 3rd party utility like DiskWarrior, Techtool PRO (not Deluxe) or Drive Genius.

How large is your HD & how much space do you have left? -
BB Torch keeps trying to reboot and won't complete
Anyone had this experience and found a solution??
I clicked a link from Drop Box to install application and it immediately shut off my BB Torch and it has been trying to reboot ever since but won't complete reboot. It gets to about 70% on the progress bar and shuts off again repeatedly. Tried hard and soft reboot and it didn't help.When you get a chance, do a battery pull. When the red light goes away on the front of the phone, hold down the
back button the entire time while the phone is booting up. When the boot is complete, the phone will enter safe
mode.

Remove the app and do another battery pull.
if you can't get past that, you will have to reload the device software on the phone.

Client Copy between unicode system and non-unicode system
Hello,
we have to build up a new system for japan. It is planned to install a new 4.7Ext200 unicode system and then make a client copy from a non-unicode 4.7Ext200 (language= german, english) system to the unicode system. I don't think that this is possible way, but I can't find information regarding client copies from non-unicode to unicode. I would advice the project to convert the existing non-unicode system to unicode, make a system copy for the new system and then install japan languages. Any information, which can help me.
Regards,
AlexanderHi,
without conversion client copy is not possible
look at following

Double Posting using Leading and Non-leading ledger...
Gurus'
I am at a client that is using the leading (0L) and non leading (PL) ledger set up. Also, we have configure an additional document document (ZF) for posting to the (PL) ledger. The following configuration settings have been made:
1 US GAAP (group accounting) (PLN) 1 0L
2 Depreciation on tax limited value (cars) 0
3 PAS (Polish Accounting Standards) (PLN) 2 PL
10 CIT TAX (Polish taxation accounting) (PLN) 3 PL
30 Consolidated balance sheet in local currency PLN 0
31 Consolidated balance sheet in group currency USD 0
32 Book depreciation in group currency (USD) 0
Can someone explain why I am seeing a duplicate posting on the non leading ledger. Using the settlement transaction from Project Systems or ABZON from the Asset Module I get the expected (AA) document type posting on the leading ledger but also on the non-leading ledger. When I run ASKB, the document ZF is also posted on the non-leading ledger.
Can someone help me figure this out? Thanks,Hi,
You can check BKPF (document header) and there is a field "ledger group" for which the document was posted onto. If there's no value in the field, it means the document was posted to all ledgers (leading and non leading).

iPad Air
operating system ios8.1.3
I've had no success troubleshooting the problem I'm having with my iPad Air. Started after I updated the software to the new version . Once update was complete I encountered my screen looked funny with wiggly lines and then the screen turned blue. I tried to reboot it by holding down the home and the off at the same time but that only turned it off and then back on and the same thing happened all over again. Now my iPad air only continues to reboot when I turn it on. Is it possible for Apple or Mac products to get a virus? I'm hope someone has a solution to this problem I'd like to know if there's anyone else out there that's experiencing this issue with the iPad Air.This is not a virus. It sounds like it could be a hardware problem.
First, try resetting your device. Press and hold both the home button and the sleep/wake button for about 10 seconds, until the screen turns off. Ignore the slider that will appear. Release the buttons, then press and hold the sleep/wake button until the Apple logo appears. This is the equivalent of a reboot, and should not affect your data or apps.
If that doesn't help, try restoring your device from backups, and if that doesn't help, restore it to factory settings (ie, do not restore a backup). See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
If none of that helps, the issue is caused by some kind of hardware problem, and the device will need to be repaired or (more likely) replaced. -
Solution if iOS 7.1 keeps rebooting and you have 700+ Apps (4s)
Hi,
The iOS 7.1 update on my iPhone 4s 64GB made it reboot constinuously. I had to put it in recovery mode and restore a previous backup from iCloud; the phone was fine after restoring settings but it went again in its reboot cycle after downloading all Apps. I tried different backups and nothing changed, but I noticed that near the end of downloading Apps, the last ones disappeared! (while still being listed in Settings>General>Usage)
The solution that worked for me:
Recovery mode and restore a previous backup
Once iOS 7.1 and the settings have been restored, remove Apps in excess of 500 before they have been downloaded.
(I managed to keep 660 Apps but the last 160 disappeared before reapparing outside of folders, adding 10 full pages on the Home screen, hence previous crashes)
The "X" to uninstall Apps will take quite some time to appear (maybe 10 minutes for me). If you need time to choose/review which one to uninstall, put your phone in Plane mode. Keep only 500 Apps (maybe 600 or slightly more could work).
The phone will then be in iOS 7.1 and will not reboot continuously.
Notes:
- This solution is only for iPhones that keep rebooting after iOS 7.1 upgrade and with more than 700 Apps installed (and maybe iPhone 4s only).
- If you have more than 500 Apps and haven't updated to iOS 7.1 yet, I advise you to keep only 500 Apps before doing the update.
And if you have more than 700 Apps and the iOS 7.1 update went fine, please tell us (precise the number of Apps and your iPhone model to see if there is a trend or not).
Hope it may help some people.
OlivierMy expirience is similar on iPhone 4 and iOS 7.1/7.1.1
I have cca 550 apps, iPhone is often full, no empty space and because of that some apps are not fully downloaded and had just ghost icons.
In that situation when I drained battery to 0% iPhone after charging started rebooting. Only recovery helped.
Now it happened when iphone somehow rebooted accidentaly. It takes some tme before it restarts again. Its si vissible for some time in Itunes but backup is not possible because it reboots sooner or later.
So I tried iTools app in work on Windows. I was able to export contact, notes and delete some apps. Home on Mac I can not get iTools list apps to delete more of them to get whether 500 apps limit would make difference.
But from iTools I got thatnks to log viewer that there is some king of Springboard crash, icons missing and lot of other stuff I have no cluue off.
Probably recovery will be only solution again. I reported that to Apple but not sure they will listen.
I can not say it would happen under 7.0.x nor 6.x. I may not have so many apps before. Became apps fanatic later :-) -

Hi there, im also having this problem, i tried running most of the games on my system, and some that are considered "high end" games, are giving me the exact same problem, but other games are running and im able to message fine, i also got some friends to send me messages, and i can recieve messages perfectly, also i noticed moving the actual window around on the screen or just closing down skype also lags. I have 16GB of ram and 4.4Ghz Octa-Core CPU, i checked my load while on the high end games and it there was more than enough hardware usage left like normal for skype to run, and skype wasnt taking any extra up than before. I also checked by bandwidth and i was having no problems with that as skype would lag even on offline games.
I have tried re-installing under a different directory and still the same problem persists, this has only been a problem within the last 24hrs and i haven't installed any other programs that could affect this at the moment.
*UPDATE* I tried downgrading to an older version of skype, 6.3.0.107. Problem Still persists -
I can only use my phone by using the speakerphone. I have rebooted and restored. What is the solution
No case. The issue seemingly went away overnight. I don't know what caused it to occur or what happened to make it go away.

My iphone keeps rebooting and going to recovery mode. HELP
Okay, so it all started about 2 months ago when I let my iphone die. I put it on charge, then went to sleep. I woke up and found out my iphone wouldn't stop rebooting and going to recovery. I have dug so deep into forums just to find a solution but nothing has helped. Most of all I think this is a hardware issue.
I have done the DFU restore, I have restored (around 20 times.), but my iphone has a broken power button so its hard to get around some things.
It will show the apple logo, then the "connect to itunes".
Please if you have a bite of information or you have had this problem, PLEASE help me out!
Thanks in advance.If you are restoring from a backup that could be a reason why your issue is still there
Restore your iphone using itunes one last time, this time setup as new.
Try it for a couple of hours or the amount of time it usually takes your iphone to reboot and go Into recovery mode.
If issue stops then is something in that backup
If it continues or if you have already set up as new in those restores you have done before
call apple so they could look more Into It (1800 692-7753)
