GeForce 4 Ti4600 unknown problem

Just over a year ago I purchased an MSI GeForce 4 Ti4600 and I have to say it has been the best graphics card I have ever had
About a week ago, for some unknown reason my PC started freezing and the picture would disappear off the monitor. On rebooting, the text on the POST screen is corrupted and unreadable and the the PC will either get into windows and then the picture will disappear after about 2mins or it won't even get into windows. ?(
I have come to the conclusion that the problem is the GF4 because I have tested the PC with different graphics cards and different memory etc. The GF4 has never been overclocked and I have no idea why it is not working properly anymore. The system is currently running fine with a Voodoo 3 3000 in (except I can't play any of my games :( )
Any ideas / solutions would be much appreciated.

Andy unfortunately it works just like with your CPU, it damages it permanently...Heat is your worst enemy...you might try this next time you buy a new card, remove that fan assembly and use a reputable thermal paste as most of the companies buy and use the cheapest they can get...this is common and is what I do with my graphic cards...I usually use Arctic Silver 3 but if you don't know what you're doing with it and it hits and shorts any of the pins on your GPU you're going to fry it right off the bat...
White paste is fine in most cases but some do get chalky and dry out over time because of a chemical reaction called outgassing so keeping an eye on these things a couple of times a year isn't a bad idea anymore as we delve into faster and hotter running parts...just a recommendation on my part heheheh
Sorry to hear of the loss but the newer cards out there now are real screamers and 8X expecially is nice if your rig supports it...
Cheers!! 8)

Ipod cannot be restored because of unknown problem (Error 1437)"

One day when I was listening my ipod when I pass the other song ipod screen freeze and I reset it and when its open all the songs and videos are gone Then I connect it to my laptop and I took the Error says "iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted" When I try to restore it through itunes, I take an error message says "ipod cannot be restored because of unknown problem (Error 1437)" And the ipod is not recognised in itunes after this message..Then I searched the help files; I updated my itunes to the latest version, also restart my computer and change the usb port Im trying.. Also tried to update the serial control drivers but nothing's changed..One time I tried to do it in safe mode.. Nothings Changes... I everything I found in apple help files.. I see lots of unanswered questions in many months but Please HELP

Well it could be dead forever or you might just need some simple repairs. The problem i have seen in some is that when dropped the hard drive either comes loose (easy to fix) or gets killed (little more expensive).
There could be other problems but i have seen those problems more often than something drastic like the whole board dieing.

If you are using the Lion or Mountain Lion operating system on your Mac.....
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the amber dot, and another window will appear to explain why the amber light is blinking
What is the message? If everything seems to be normal, the message might indicate that an update is available for the AirPort Extreme.

Adobe print engine failed to output your data due to an unknown problem using modified font

I have a document I created in InDesign CS5.5 with no issues. One of the fonts had a some issues with how the letters looked, so I modified the font (True Type) with a font editor. The documet on screen looks fine and passes preflight with no issues, but when I try to print it to any printer or PDF (Adobe PDF or Winpdf wirter) I get the error: adobe print engine failed to output your data due to an unknown problem. I also tried to create a document in MS Word with the same modified font and had no issues printing. Can anyone check into the issue with InDesign with this font if I send it to you? I also did try to create a new document in InDesign with just some text using the modified font and it will not print that one either.

***Oops. Cross posted. Glad it is working.***
If you desire to share the fonts I can look at them. Just send me a PM with a link.
Did you change the internal naming/IDs when you created your varient? If not, try removing the version you began with. Paths all closed, etc?

Priemere Pro consistantly crashed upon export, I cleaned media cache and that seemed to help. Now export errors unknown problem... read to uninstall and reinstall and now I can not open up PPCS5

Here is my problems with Premiere Pro CS5
When I export a project... the computer crashes.
I was able to get a tech chat and they would clean the media cache
so I did that.
Then, I got an export error "unknown problem" I then read in a forum to uninstall and reinstall Premiere pro
Now on my very nice relatively newer IMAC, when I go to applications to open it... I can not find a purple tab to open it. It just has a presets folder, then open that and it has styles, templates, textures but, now little purple Pr to open or drag to my dashboard.
Help PLEASE!!! I have wasted 20 hours of editing time, and work because of crashes, and problems.

11inch air turns off when sleep due to unknown problem/takes awhile to fire up

Hello,
Since the update to Mavericks i've noticed everytime i put my macbook air to sleep for longer than a few minutes.. it's shut itself off and when it fire up (after holding the power button for quite a few seconds) it comes up saying it turned off due to an unknown problem.
This never used to happen, I bought the Macbook Air 11 inch in September so its still fairly new. Is there anything im missing here - everythings up to date. I dont know if i should take it to genius bar yet or if theres something i could try to fix it.

You are not alone. This is a very active topic. See https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5495588?start=0&tstart=0
The remedy mentioned several times in that thread is to reset SMC + PRAM and in check "Put hard disks to sleep when possible”. It is not a perfect solution. The problem reoccurs for some people.
SMC reset: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
PRAM reset: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
 > System Preferences > Energy Saver
> Battery > uncheck “Put hard disks to sleep when possible”.
> Power Adapter > uncheck “Put hard disks to sleep when possible”.
If that does not do the job, go to an Apple store for a repair or replacement.
Actually, given this is an intermittent problem for others, you may want to take it to an Apple store before you try to make it better to have it fail in their presence. After that try the fixes and if the problem comes back you will have a documented case for Apple to repair or replace the unit.

The Adobe Print Engine has failed to output your data due to an unknown problem

I am currently having a huge problem printing from indesign. I am running CS3 on a hi spec 08 Mac Pro (10.5.2) connected to an Epson 3800 Stylus Pro A2 printer. I keep getting the message <Printing Error: The Adobe Print Engine has failed to output your data due to an unknown problem>. I have tried trashing the indesign preferences, I tried a new account... In fact I have just done a clean install of the entire OS. Just can't get it to print. I did have it printing on this machine before and the same document prints from my iMac. The problem seems to be something to do with the print dialogue. If I print WITHOUT checking the Printer settings in the Print dialogue is sends to the print, but the output is shocking as the paper selection is not right and uses photo black not matt black. When I DO check the printer settings and set it all correctly it gives me the <Printing Error: The Adobe Print Engine has failed to output your data due to an unknown problem>. Anyone else had this or have any thoughts?

I am seeing this error too, but I've narrowed it down to an isolated set of circumstances. My client has begun rolling out Active Directory integration with Macs on their network. Here are the specifics:
-- Mac OS X 10.5.4, IDCS3 5.0.3
-- Using the Directory Utility, Macs are bound to AD with using the mobile account option (user folder is cached locally on workstation, hosted on the network)
-- The message immediately pops up after clicking 'Print' button in print dialogue.
-- Printers are a couple of different versions of DocuColor (250 and 260) with Fiery RIP front ends. Print queues are hosted on an AD print server and listed as Open Directory under Kind in the Add Printer dialogue.
-- Only IDCS and ILCS3 (13.02) exhibit this problem. PSCS3 (10.01), Acrobat (8.1.2) and Safari do not have the same issue, so it appears to be Postscript related
-- Printers not going through AD (IP or BonJour enabled HP B&W lasers) print successfully when logged in via the networked user. Logging into a local admin account resolves the problem as well.
-- This issue appears on freshly imaged machines, G5s and MacBook Pros, not just an isolated workstation. So its possible there is a problem with the source image, but it was created by another office and I'm just a consultant onsite at another location trying to sort things out. Other workstations still using Thursby's Dave software for file and printer access, running 10.4.11 do not exhibit same issues.
-- The console output lists this error when ID fails:
7/23/08 3:28:59 PM /Applications/Adobe InDesign CS3/Adobe InDesign CS3.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe InDesign CS3[1374] passwordCallback: didn't find keychain item for "ipp://localhost/printers/DC01_Fiery250_5th";prompting for it
I have created a keychain entry to match this with no success.
-- None the suggestions in linked KB doc. resolve the issue. But that doc seems to be outdated as it references CS 1 and 2 versions of ID.
So, has anyone seen the same issues? AD integration appears to be the common thread, but I cannot find the cause.

Unknown problem when trying to print- Windows 7, ok on IE

It was working fine- suddenly it would not print--gets message- unknown problem--prints on IE -windows 7, HP.

May be related to my inability to print. Please let me know what you find out.

Cannot print from firefox. Get mssg "an unknown problem occured"

when I try to print, the "save the file as" screen comes up. If I clear it, the "unknown problem occurred--". I can print from other programs.

I came across the same problem today, also using a 2600N. Window updated the drivers through a Windows update yesterday, so I suspect that's what caused the problem since it was working fine before.
I tried the reset in about:config and that didn't do jack, but I was able to solve it by removing the printer with device manager and then disconnecting it from my PC, plugging it back in, and letting Windows reconfigure it automatically. It works now.
Good luck

'Unknown problem. Please try again later' signing...

This is an unusual problem.
I can sign into facebook through the Ovi app with other facebook accounts, but when I try and sign into my facebook account it says
'Unknown problem.Please try again later.'
I tried changing my facebook signing in email address as it was the same as my ovi username.
If I get my username or password wrong it doesn't give that error, just the normal wrong username or password.
I've been trying to use the Ovi app for some weeks now and still have the same error everytime.
Any suggestions would be welcome...
Solved!

Having a problem with GeForce 4 Ti4600

Hey I recently got an MSI geForce 4 Ti 4600 card. I installed it correctly according to the instructions and everything, but it's not working right. After I turned the computer, there were little purple blotches all over the screen. I also get some error message that says i have a corrupt file and I should run Checkdisk.
I have a Dell Dimension 4300 and here's what's in it:
Pentium 4 1.7 GHZ
512 MB RAM
MSI GeForce 4 Ti 4600
Soundblaster Live! Soundcard
Windows XP
If anyone has any idea whats wrong I could use some help! Also if you'd need any more info about my system to help, I can find out... just tell me what you need to know.
Thanks!!!

BiggieTheSpaceman,
Did you try putting the Vid Card you pulled out back in?
If you have a corrupted file on Bootup, do you get into Windows or do you error out before getting in? Have you tried booting into Safe Mode yet?
Take Care,
Richard

GeForce 4 Ti4600 problem :/

Hi,
2 Days ago i bought the following system:
Asus,A7V333, SocketA, VIA KT333 >2000 Mhz, RAID, Audio&Firewire,Socket A
AMD,Athlon Thoroughbred 2200+ 1.80GHz, Socket A /266 + ThermalTake,SokkelA/P4 478, Volcano 7 cooler
Asus,DVDx16 / CDx48, E616, IDE100

Surecom,SU-EP-320X-S, 32 Bit PCI Fast Ethernet netcard,10/100 Mbit
Twinmos,1024 MB PC-333 DDR2700
Everything went fine until i installed the drivers to the 8872 and rebooted the pc to finalized the installation. The problem is that i only get to the Windows 98 SE startup screen and then the pc reboots in safe mode. I can use the standard Windows drivers without any problems. I even updated the bios on the mainboard to 1008 beta 3 on Asus homepage without any luck + i installed latest drivers and tried with several other drivers versions. Still no changes :/
I borrowed Windows 2000 from work and it installed without any problems.
How do i get it to work in Windows 98 SE?
Is there anyone kind out there who can help me?
Regards

The link appears broken at this time.
As I recall, MS's solutions were:
1) remove some RAM,
2) configure the machine to ignore some RAM, or
3) pay MS for an upgrade.
The much better solution is to fix the problem. The problem is that the File Cache is configured at boot time as a function of your total system memory. However, the space for the cache is allocated from a particular section of memory (from which accelerated graphics resources are also allocated). The MS programmers didn't bother to check that the amount they were trying to allocate would actually fit.
Consequently, the nVidia drivers and the File Cache will fight for limited resources and one will lose. In neither event can the machine operate.
This link provides additional information on what's going on and why you might want to fix this, even if you aren't having a "too much RAM problem".
http://www.putergeek.com/vcache/index.shtml
Even more information is available at
http://tweakhomepc.virtualave.net/memory/vcache98.html
at which recommendations for particular RAM configurations are made.
And, in case you're wondering, the settings for this Win98SE, 1GB RAM machine are:
[vcache]
MinFileCache=65536
MaxFileCache=131072
ChunkSize=2048
NameCache=4096
DirectoryCache=96
ConservativeSwapFileUsage=1
I also must take umbrage with the recommendation that one should automatically upgrade to Win2k. If you're like me (and you probably aren't -- I've been a geek far too long), over half the software you use on a regular basis is unable to run under Win2k. Thus, for my workflow, there's no way to run Win2k. It's worthless to me. And, so far, no one's convinced me that giving up half the software I've spent ~10 years getting to know really, really well justifies spending yet even more money for something that is fundamentally the same as what I've got...

Trying to solve an unknown problem on my computer.

I am currently trying to solve a problem that has screwed up many of my applications. iMovie, Windows Media Player, and AOL Instant Messanger on my computer are all malfunctioning for an unknown reason.
I am not sure if this is the problem, but when this problem first began, I was using applications at the time called Sound Studio and Amadeus, which were sound recorder applications. I had set the microphone to line-in when I was transferring audio cassettes to mp3s. Later in the day, I noticed other applications were not working right.
When I open, iMovie, and it loads a saved project, the loading bar will not move and all of these clips (Clip 01 to Clip 244.dv) will appear in the trash as iMovie document files. These files are Zero KB and do not even exist before I load the application. Then iMovie will finally be finished opening and I usually use it to import from my digital camcorder. It will detect it, however when I click on Import, it will load the import for about a second and then the button goes back to white, like I never clicked it at all. Also, when I click on play, it will detect that the camera is playing but the clip never appears on the iMovie screen, it stays on the "camera playing" blue screen. The clip on the camcorder is playing just fine. I can import existing files from my hard drive just fine however.
With AOL Instant Messenger, it still works fine, but I have noticed that a few of the sounds are gone.
With Windows Media Player 9 for OS X, whenever I tried loading a windows media file, it would tell me that it was compressed by using a codec that is not supported. The files have worked just fine until now.
I had set the system preferences back to default before using any sound recorder applications, but it made no difference. I have tried re-installing all of these applications but that made no difference. Also, I ran virus scans with Virex 7 and ClamXav but no virus were found. Does anyone know what is causing all of this to happen?

Try using Disk Utility to repair your startup disk (hard drive) as shown in Dr.Smokes Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption. You may have some directory corruption.
Most Mac users are using Flip4Mac as Windows Media Player is no longer supported by Microsoft for Macs. Fip4Mac runs those files thru QuickTime.
Cheers!

Thanks for all your responses, i think i'd be better off installing this card into a newer system
