Gah, this computer refuses to work!

Ok, I cannot get this computer to work.....im upgrading my friends computer with t he following:
512 meg stick of PC 3200 OCZ
Athlon 64 3000 754 version
MSI K8T mobo
Other system compenents:
512 meg stick of corsair pc 3200 VS
60 gig ATA hardrive
Standard cdrom and floppy
MSI 9800 Pro
Anything intensive at all makes the computer hang, then go to a blank black screen and totaly hang there. Iwas able to fully install windows XP and get avast and a firewall on there....its newly formatted and has never been connected to the net, no chance of a virus. Ive alreayd tried swapping the memory, and after the reset ive looked at the cpu and overall temperatures and they are very low (doenst sound like its overheating). Also, the heatsinks on the mobo, video card, and cpu never get that hot.....also quite odd. I cant isolate it down to one compenent and Im not sure what to do....Suggestions?
UPDATE:
Went to bios and put fail safe defaults, now it crashes still, but restarts now isntead of just hanging....?

The simple fact is 15a will rarely work and then only with the best of PSU's. Even AMD recommends 18a on the 12v rail as a minimum. The reason is that the CPU takes a ton and so does the MB and other parts now. We have a Power Supply Sticky that while a bit long will fill you in on details like that. If you have a generic PSU your chances are far from good at success either as most generic PSU's will not stay sustained at their rated amperage or watts.
Sorry about that, ive read the sticky and I know all about PSU problems, i meant t he "not" in my post to be a "now". Ive been running an 18a psu on this thing the whole time. Sorry

    You might need to update the remote application. i know there was a bug when the 5.2 update was released that caused an issue with the remote app. Apple released an update the following day for the remote app.

  • Make logging in easier for Sub-Accounts on this computer WON'T WORK!

    Make logging in easier for Sub-Accounts on this computer - when I click on this tab in the main email account it does nothing. It used to allow me to log into all my accounts easier by listing all email address's at log in, but for months I've had to type in each email address whenever switching emails. Can anyone help with this issue? Its on my verizon yahoo account.
    Thanks.

    Hey dpg123, it sounds like someone accidentally click on save password when signing in.  You can try to reverse the issue by clicking onto Internet Option from the Control Panel.  On the General Tab under Browsering History click on the Delete button and you have to delete Temporary Internet Files, Cookies and Passwords on that pc.

  • Cannot get this computer plus to work

    I have two computers one is a brand new 12 core machine with 4 SSDs and 32 GB of ram the other is a 2 year old 8 core machine with 20GB of ram.  I do most of my processing on the 12 core machine however I get an error (the share monitor reports quicktime error -108) whenever I check the "this computer plus" box.  The job gets submitted but hangs everytime.  When I leave the box unchecked I have no problem on the 12 core machine.  This is making me CRAZY... any help would be appreciated.

    I would do a repair permissions with the Disk Utility on both machines.  Then trash your preferences files that begin with "com.apple.Compressor." 

  • Match 'Add this Computer' is not working.

    Just now, I had all my 'match' songs greyed out. I restarted iTunes and all songd that were on icloud match disappeared. I went through this process to get them to re-appear (like i've done the last time this happened):
    1) First turned off iTunes Match
    2) I Deauthorized the computer from the Store drop menu
    3) Restarted iTunes
    4) Authorized Computer
    5) Turned on iTunes Match and when I selected 'Add computer' nothing happens.
    mind you, selecting 'no thanks' does nothning either.
    I've tried these steps many times, inbetween restarting the computer, to no avail.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Kevin

  • My computer refuses to work. How do I remove Firefox and go back to my old system

    I cant sign in to my games. Took 3 times to get email. wont let me into gardens of time and keeps telling me my email and password is wrong. I need to remove this from my computer but it wont let me. How do I get it off my computer?

    According to the instructions given on the Norton Community forum under "Other Norton Products/Comcast-Customers - Norton Toolbar Problem in Firefox 10", I have done everything necessary. And I do have a Norton toolbar (Safe Web and Identity Safe) when I open Firefox 10. As was mentioned in the previous posts here, you need to run manual LiveUpdate then reboot until you have version 5.2.0.13. Then reboot and run manual LiveUpdate again and reboot once more. One thing that I noticed is that Norton never told me that it had updated the patch for Firefox 10, so I didn't know. I guess if you have the toolbar when you run Firefox 10, then you have done it all.

  • I am connecting to my wireless network but not able to use internet.  Used to work fine on this computer.  Still works fine with iPhone and older iMac.

    When I connect (I have it set for Auto DHCP) the IP address that I get is a "bad" address - first 3 digits are 169.  There is no router IP address on summary page.  Any ideas?

    169.***.***.** is a self-assigned IP address. The system does this when it cannot obtain a functioning IP address from the DHCP server. There can be myriad reasons, but the following Apple help page shows the way out.

  • Connection refused, but works on diff computer

    Ok, i'm opening a connection to a web server using ssl (jsse) and this WAS working great. But now when I try to run the same code that was working on this computer (and still works upstairs) i get:
    java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
    at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketConnect(Native Method)
    at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.doConnect(PlainSocketImpl.java:305)
    at ..............
    The line of code that is causing this problem is
    OutputStream outputStream = null;
    outputStream = conn.getOutputStream(); <- RIGHT HERE
    the conn was setup and is not null because I can getURL() on it and it's context has been setup, so everything seems to be ok with the connection but once I try to get an output stream it blows with that connection refused exception. I have set doOutput to true aswell:
    conn.setDoOutput(true);
    Like I said, this code works on a different computer now and used to work on this one. If anyone knows what could have happened to this machine I could appreciate any help.
    (used to work but now it doesn't box)
    JDK 1.4.1

    And can you ping the other computer from the one that doesn't work?

  • USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned....

    everytime i plug my ipod in that is what is coming up along with
    "Windows does not recognize it"
    i already called apple and they told me that it was my pc's problem..i called dell and they told me that i could talk to a rep for 100 dollars..but previous to that a dell rep was telling me that it was apples problem..
    i just want to know if anyone has had this problem and if they know how to fix it
    its a 30 gig video ipod.
    and we have a 40 gig ipod hooked up to this computer and it works fine.

    Use Add/Remove programs in your Control Settings to REMOVE the iPod Updater if you already have it, and visit: http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/ to download the latest version. Install it, and UPDATE your iPod's firmware. Also, make sure you have the latest Windows Service packs installed, as well as iTunes 6.01.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Also, please be sure you are using a USB 2.0 port (installed on all PC's/Macs less than three years old. Use your device manager and hardware profiler to check your ports.
    If this does not resolve the issue you need to contact Apple Support. If there is an Apple Retail store in your area you can reserve an appointment (free) with the technicians at the genius bar.

  • Upgrading to Lion, used cloud, now my apple mail no longer syncs on my computer. Can't get any apple mail to come in. Mail window not working properly. Connection to Internet fine. Anyone know how to fix this issue? All worked fine until I opted for Cloud

    Hello,
    I am using a MacBook Pro. Bought in April 2011. Upgraded to Lion, OSX 10.7.3
    I have an Apple mail account that synced with a gmail account in my Mail Program.
    I then chose the CLOUD activation. I can find my mail if I go to cloud.com but I no longer get any Apple mail delivered to my Mail program on my computer. My gmail account syncs just fine. In fact, the Mail program doesn't even open any longer when I double click. I have to go to the Mail menu, select Message Viewer to even view my mail program now. The Internet connection is testing fine using the Connection Doctor. But when the Connection Doctor program just whirs for eternity and never finishes checking the accounts.
    Is this a bug? Do you have to set up your mailbox again for Apple mail to get it to sync after having mail hosted on the Cloud? Or does hosting on the Cloud mean I now always have to go the hassle of logging in at the cloud site to even access my Apple mail?
    Any ideas out there? I am sure there are Mac geniuses, the real ones, floating around in cyber space and would love to get some intelligent directions to solve this new issue.
    Cheers
    Anne

    I would like to add that Comcast is my internet provider. Perhaps that is part of the issue although the Connection Doctor confirms the mail box is connecting to the internet. No other function processes when Connection Doctor program is used to find the source of the issue. I have read forum posts but am unable to find a way to get my Apple mail to be delivered to my computer. It worked fine up until I chose to transfer mail to the Cloud. My mail account is a .mac account.
    Still hoping someone out there can help me.
    thanks,
    anne

  • I am trying to connect to my Wifi Network. It is a Galaxy Nexus. I am trying to connect to this Hotspot. I have an iMac that works fine with my network but for some reason with this computer I cannot connect.

    So far I have pulled the system configuration file, I have reset safari, I deleted all old passwords from the wifi network in Keychain I restarted both devices. I am at the end here and I cannot get it to work I have an iMac that works fine with my network but for some reason this computer will not connect. It is system wide specifically to my personal hotspot. I can connect fine to any other network (wifi) but just not mine. I have not changed any wifi settings. I have been trying to figure this out. I have a MacBook Pro Late 2006 model running Lion (10.7.5) So any ideas anyone? Please help!

    12. At a WiFi hotspot, you can't get connected.  The most frequent reason is the login screen for the WiFi hotspot is only able to be connected with a single type of browser.  If Safari doesn't work, try Firefox, Chrome, Omniweb, or Opera.

  • I bought a new macbook pro and iTunes will not let me purchase anything. All computers unregistered. This computer is registered. Cannot purchase anything using my apple id and my apple id works because i buy things on my i phone. What is the problem

    I bought a new macbook pro and now every time i try to buy anything with my apple id it doesn't go through. I tried Ibooks and iTunes but neither one will work. I have registered this computer and even tried unregistering all the other computers but that did not do anything. I also checked my form of payment and that is not the problem either because i have no problems what so ever buying anything on my iPhone or my desktop computer.
    It is just this computer.
    I try to buy something and something pops up and says... "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-45054). There was an error in the iTunes store. Please try again later."
    And i have been trying later for 2days now.

    Have you tried repairing disk permissions : iTunes download error -45054

    I installed elements 12 on a Win 8.1 computer and moved all my photos from my old XP machine.  I updated to elements 12.1.  Now, many/most of my photos will not open because I do not have "permission" to open the files.  How do I fix this so I can work with MY photos?

    Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
    In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?
