[GeForce 6] System Doenst power on with NX6600GT inserted!

Hi, I dont know whats going on!!
This is my first computer build in 5 years and Im having alot of grief.
The PC wont even start with the PCI-E card inserted (MSI nx6600gt)
When I press the power button, the power led flashes for a second, the fan on the graphics card moves a couple of mm and stops and nothing else happens! The CPU fan doesnt even move.
I have tried the card in the other PCI-E slot and the same thing happens.
Clearing CMOS doesnt help.
If I remove the card entirely, the system boots as normal. I borrowed an old PCI VGA card and that works fine.
Now the funny thing is- The MSI used to work in it. During initial testing, it booted up fine. The problem occured as I exited the bios. I had changed a few settings (nothing relating to PCI-E Im sure, just some usb settings,) when I saved and exited, the system just went off. After that, It wouldnt start again unless the Graphics card was removed
Using the old PCI card, I restored to default and tried again- No Joy
I've already RMA'd the memory as one stick was faulty (Hmmmmm)
When I got them back, everything worked fine till what happened as mentioned above. As This is a new build, the system hasnt been running for any length of time (less than 1/2 hr uptime in total!)
Any suggestions anyone... Would be much appreciated. Thanks!!

Thanks for the relpies.
Heres the PSU Details as taken from the side of the PSU:
+3.3v = 28A
+5V   = 48A
+12v  = 28A
I doubt its the PSU as its a relatively good spec and the graphics card is a mid range 6600GT, It doesnt even need a power connector.
Ive reset CMOS several times via battery removal and manually resetting to defaults. Still didnt work.
What gets me is that It used to work fine, then all of a sudden its not. The puzzle is did I mess up something in the BIOS or Is there a genuine hardware fault which coincidentally happened when I pressed 'Save and Exit'

  • How to erase a hard drive on a i MAC Power PC with OSX 10.5.8 pre-intel?

    I got this i Mac G5 Power PC with a 20" screen (no iSight) and last generation of i Mac repaired.  Capacitors and a power supply did revive my machine and it works fine.  I would like to donate my machine and want to erase the hard drive and make sure that all my personal data is gone.
    I have the Leopard disk and I am told that if I booth my machine with the disk while holding the C key then I can go to Disk Utility and erase my hard drive.
    Does anyone have a step-by-step approach to guide me through this?
    Any help will be most appreciated!
    Thank you,
    Guy

    Drive Preparation
    1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.

  • G4 power brick with Intel mac mini?  is this possible just to test?

    A friend gave me an Intel mac mini, 1.60GHz CPU model, but no power supply.
    I tried using my G4 mac mini's 85W A1105 power supply on the intel mac mini but nothing happens. I have to unplug the power supply from the wall to get it to power on my G4 mac mini (it apparently doesn't like being plugged into the intel mac mini).
    Is it possible to use the G4 2005 power supply with the Intel mac mini if only to just test to see if the intel computer works? I don't want to buy a MA407LL/A 110W intel mac mini power supply only to find that the computer he gave me is broken.
    Just wondering if anyone had any tips/ideas how to tell if the Intel mac mini works at all or if I'm just going to have to find someone who has the 110W intel model supply to test it...

    The G4 mini power supply is rated at a significantly lower current capacity than the Intel mini requires, thus while some have had marginal success in using an old supply with a newer system, almost any tolerance variation will mean the Intel box won't run with the G4 supply. Not only that, but since the Intel system will load the G4 supply at a level it was not designed to accommodate, you could damage your G4 supply by trying.
    If you have an Apple store in your area, I would take the Intel mini to the genius bar there where it can be tested, thus avoiding you having to buy a new supply without knowing if it will work.

  • Power injector with SPA508g

    I decided to edit this since it got moved to a different place where it might not be understood:
    I have a UC320w phone system. I have SPA508g phones. I have a cisco POE switch next to the UC320. But, I have one far location that has one ethernet port and we want 3 computers and the SPA508g phone. I don't have a POE switch and I'd prefer to put the switch before the phone. (the out port on the phone is 10/100 where I'd like the link to the far switch to be gigabit).
    The SPA508g didn't come with power cords. I know I can get them.
    But I happen to have an Aironet 1200 access point power enjector: AIR-PSINJSYS1200. I think the aironet needs 48 volts, so I assume this power injector provides that (or up to that?).
    Is that ok to use this power injector with a SPA508g? Will it just draw whatever it needs or is that power enjector too much power? I seem some documentation that says the AIR-PSINJSYS1200 will work with a access point that requires less power, but I don't see any other documentation.

    Unfortunately this is the wrong area of the community to pose the question.  While I believe the aironet power injectors present a standard IEEE PoE interface to the device, I can say that for certain.  Certainly those power injectors are only supported for use with the Access Points, and the people who hang on on this community are unlikely to be familiar enough with the product to say for sure whether it will work.  If the injector does present an IEEE PoE interface then the phone should work fine, but I can't confirm that for you.  You might want to try posting a question to the wireless forum at

  • "Power On with AC Attach" partial malfunction on W540

    with the bios option "Power On with AC Attach" Enabled,it only functions when battery attached, malfunctions when battery detached.
    oh, it is with lid closed in both situations. Can it be fixed?

    I believe the hardware would have to support such an option for the bios to be able to enable it. The bios is only simple instructions for the system to control the hardware, a bios change cannot make a system power on automatically if the hardware wasn't designed to do it already, and if it was, I think the option would be there already.
    This is only speculation though, so maybe someone that knows for sure can chime in and enlighten us.

  • Use of an Older Power Cable with a New MacBook Pro

    I have purchased a new MacBook Pro 15". It comes with the power cord with the silver "L-shaped" magnetic end.
    My old laptop, which is a MacBook from around 2006, came with the white squarish magnetic end. It fits just fine on the new MacBook pro and seems to work fine.
    Is it safe to also use this as an additional power cord for my new MacBook Pro? (I know, it seems like a silly question, but when dealing with electricity issues, it's always good to double check. I'd hate to find out that for some reason something about the old cord fries something on the new system.)

    The older Macbook's power adapter has a maximum output of 65 watts, while the 15" McBook Pro comes with an 85 watt adapter. The 65W adapter will work, but with certain caveats — see this post of mine from the day before yesterday for a fuller explanation:

  • Power problems with my kt6v

    Now the problem, I set everything up in the case.  double check all my connections, to make sure everything is where it's supposed to be.  And the jumpers(what few their are) are set correctly.
    Ok good, Power up, the system shut's itself right back down.
    That's the problem.  This power supply i'm using is semi old, it run's this old p2 board just fine.  it's got the extra 4pin plug for the newer boards that require them.  So could this problem be related to my power supply? or something else.
    If you need more info, just let me know and i can give it.
    Thanks.

    Amp ratings look good, but, the 150W max is a show stopper. Should be closer to 200W. I would try a better PSU, such as a model 365 Enermax (26A @ 12V).
    One more Item to check, are there any unused metal standoffs behind the board?
    From the way you state it powers on for a few seconds, then shuts down, I suspect either the PSU is just WAY too weak to power this system, or there is a short to ground causing the rapid shutdown.
    Check to insure the CPU fan is spinning up too, as that can also cause a quick shutdown.

  • Pavilion dv7 3079wm won't power up with/without battery or ac cord

    Tried to power up with a.c. cord or battery. Leads flash once attempts to start, then goes out.

    I hope you folks won't mind my piggy-backing on this thread.  I have a very similar problem with a dv7 (belongs to my grandmother).
    When I plug in the AC adapter, the small LED next to the socket usually does not light up, but will flash briefly when the power cable is removed.  The AC adapter is fine, because I've used it to charge and run my dv5 with no problems.  If I unplug and then plug the AC adapter into the socket repeatedly, eventually at some random point the LED will stay on.
    However...
    The battery light is slowly flashing.  It flashes anytime the AC adapter is plugged in (whether or not the LED next to the jack lights up).
    The computer won't power up.  It tries to for a second or two, then shuts down... as if the battery was critically low.
    Now the thing that puzzles me -- The computer won't start up on AC power without the battery installed.  I can do this on my dv5 with no problem.  It does not require the battery to be installed.  I figured if the battery is completely dead in the dv7, that it may be confusing the system and not allow it to start at all.  But, trying to start up the dv7 without a battery does absolutely nothing at all.
    I'm hoping that the dv7 is designed to always work with a battery and that all I need to do is just install a new one.  Does that seem sensible?  I just don't want to buy one (they cost a whopping $140 from HP!) only to find that the computer is suffering from a more serious problem.

  • Is it possible to use old Apple Flat Panel Display (62 watt power adapter) with MacBookPro 13" Mid-2012 running 10.8.4? Tried mini display to VGA cable

    Is it possible to use old Apple Flat Panel Display (62 watt power adapter) with a MacBookPro 13" Mid-2012 laptop?  Would like to use larger screen when working at home.  I have a mini display port to VGA cable and have tried to hook up the old display but it seems not to work.  When I try to activate the screen on the old display-- a window comes up in the MacBookPro and asks me if I want to shut down the computer.  What little I have read it that the MacBookPro had Thunderbolt and the old display may not be compatible?  Any assistance would be appreciated.

    11.09.12 22:16:06,148 ClamXavSentry[286]: I will quarantine infected files
    This doesn't have anything to do with your problem, but it will likely cause other issues with your e-mail.
    Here's my standard recommendation concerting the use of A-V software to deal with potentially infected messages:
    Never use ClamXav (or any other A-V software) to move (quarantine) or delete e-mail. It will corrupt the mailbox index which could cause loss of other e-mail and other issues with functions such as searching. It may also leave the original e-mail on your ISP's e-mail server and will be re-downloaded to your hard drive the next time you check for new mail.
    So, if you choose to "Scan e-mail content for malware and phishing" in the General Preferences, make sure you do not elect to either Quarantine or Delete infected files.
    When possibly infected e-mail files are found:
    Right-click/Control-click on either the infection or file name in the ClamXav window.
    Select "Reveal In Finder" from the pop-up menu.
    When the window opens, double-click on the file to open the message in your e-mail client application.
    Read the message and if you agree that it is junk/spam/phishing then use the e-mail client's delete button to delete it (this is especially important when the word "Heuristics" appears in the infection name).
    If you disagree and choose to retain the message, return to ClamXav and choose "Exclude From Future Scans" from the pop-up menu.
    If this is a g-mail account and those messages continue to show up after you have deleted them in the above manner, you may need to log in to webmail using your browser, go to the "All Mail" folder, find the message(s) and use the delete button there to permanently delete them from the server.
    To fix the corrupted mailbox index(es), highlight each one that was corrupted and choose Rebuild from the appropriate menu.

    Your terminal statement has an extra "." in it that prevents it from working.
    Also, you should add the options -alR to show what is happening, and to search subdirectories.
    The revised command looks like this:
    ls -alR /Users/Shared/*.so
    The above is completely wrong. The command as shown in the article is appropriate.
    The "." is not extra and doesn't prevent the command from working. It's specifying that you're listing files that start with a period and end with ".so" with anything in between being matched.
    Because you're explicitly searching for things that start with "." you don't need the -a flag.
    Because you only care about simple existence and not any metadata you don't need -l.
    Because the files of interest are installed in /Users/Shared directly, and not subfolders thereof, you don't need -R.

  • How can I creat a security system for a truck, with Wifi camera playing on iPad/iPhone without 3G/LTE ?

    Hello,
    I want to create a wifi security system for a truck with cameras, but all the ones I found are IP. So I don't know if it's possible to use it only on wifi (not on 3G/LTE).
    If you have an idea, it will be nice...
    Thank you

    that range of most wifi setup unless you want to pay alot!
    would likely mean you could see about as much as the camera from where you were standing
    a mifi or otherwise something which bridge a lan to the internet would work
    make sure the camera have a webserver in it and then you can see it from any web browser where you put in the login and password

    Hi Lukas,
    I think the problem is caused by differenet drivers for the CAN communication.
    NI provides two driver for CAN: NI-CAN and NI-XNET.
    NI-CAN is the outdated driver which is not longer used by new hardware. NI replaced the NI-CAN driver with NI-XNET some years ago, which supports CAN, LIN and the FLEXRAY communication protocol.

    NI CAN is the outdated driver. I think that you should try to install NI-XNET instead of NI-CAN on your PXI-System, to get rid of the error message.
