Take Care,

I think you were right Richard, once I changed the power supply the error messages I got were different and pointed to nvidia .dll problems. I removed the MSI control panel by removing the msicpl.dll tried a couple of driver versions using the Driver Cleaner program and ended up using the Nvidia 61.76 drivers (the 61.77 was causing strange graphics) I don't want to jinx myself, but I think its fixed
Thanks to everyone for your help and patience

MSI GeForce FX 5900XT BIOS ROM

Hey
I have moded my MSI GeForce FX 5900XT to a 5900Ultra bios. It's been running stable for 4 months now and graphic card performance has increased by 35% average. but now im getting heating problems and some display problems, Do any of u people have the origanal bios for it. i did make a back up before i flashed but now it aint working any moore. plz anyone

mm cant find BIOS for your card. wonder how its possible when you revent(flash) to your original BIOS your video card doens work..?! somethink happed with a card or BIOS is corrupted...? try to flash again with your modded BIOS to see is card is working.. use other VGA Card PCI not AGP! Both VGA must be installed on PC. in BIOS Boot from PCI card must be set. then you can Compare adapter firmware: nvflash [options] --compare with flashed and your backup.
if the comparior say its queal with no diferents flash again with moded bios to see card is not blowed up already. if comarior report diferents reflash vga again with your backup BIOS. other way to flash is with machine "programator" dont know in english word. machine that flash eproms. also you may call to msi support to downloading your original BIOS and try flashing again. i cant find BIOS for your card. good luck

Various 4G / 5G stability problems and now my iPod is USB 1.1 only!

Hi,
I bought a brand new iPod a week or two ago and it worked fine for one sync. Then the battery was running low (because I'd been using it!) so I plugged it in and iTunes synced automatically and the battery charged. after the sync I hit "eject" in iTunes so that the battery would just charge.
I returned to find that the iPod was still mounted! Very strange. I ejected again..... and it seems that what was happening was when the iPod was ejected it simply rebooted and when it came back up was mounted automatically again!
I ejected and unplugged the iPod and it was no longer stable - I would get to the menu and almost to play a song and it would reset. It seemed like my speed was the limiting factor (i.e. the iPod would only stay up for n seconds), rather than it crashing because I tried a particular function.
I saw this unstable behaviour with my old iPod (4G, firewire on this same machine) too where I had to reflash it to get it working again reliably.
So, I reflash the (new) device with the iPod Updater software downloaded for me by Software Update. It resets, and all seems well, with the rather catastrophic exception that now the iPod is only recognised as a USB 1.1 device according to System Profiler! The transfer speed is very very slow.
This is really a bit of a showstopper for my user experience. I have tried:
- Resetting my computer
- Changing the cable (I have two USB2.0 cables and 1 USB2.0/Firewire cable which I have tried all of)
- Changing USB ports (including taking ALL my USB devices away and plugging the iPod directly into the back of the desktop machine)
- Reflashing the iPod again
I have NOT tried:
- re-downloading the iPod Updater from Apple and using that (I'm downloading it now)
So.... the questions are:
- Has the firmware updater somehow made my iPod appear to be a USB1.1 device?
- Or is this a hardware fault and I need to return the iPod to be fixed?
- Is this stability problem a commonly observed one?
- If so what can I do to avoid it?
Thanks in advance,
Neil.

Neo2 platinum Encountering Stability Problems /w dual channel memory

Hello,
Recently I built my first computer ever, see bottom. After getting windows installed I then had problems with installing other programs and general stability issues. I tried reinstalling windows and after the reinstall I got the same problems.
Something to do with the instability is when I start it up, and go into BIOS, it states my Athlon 64 3500+ as running at 2211, a half percent overclock. Also, even though I have the FSB set as 200mhz, when I go into CoreCenter on windows it states the FSB as being set 201mhz. In the nVidia system utility, it states my memory as running at 402mhz, and I had to crank that down to 400mhz to get stability, it allowed my to install programs without error, but there were still stability problems like crashes(blue screen, the computer just plain restarting without notice). I took out one of my memory cards, both of them work alone though, I've ran memory test utilities. That had a good effect and the computer runs fairly stable, but I still have problems, and I want to be able to take advantage of dual channel. I'm running my memory on auto and it's using the times of 2-3-3-6-2T.
Another problem I'm experiencing is the AC97 audio not being detected and loaded by windows, it will say I have no audio device, and the speaker will not show up in the notification area in the bottom right-hand corner. This happens inconsistantly.
-Thank You

hi bknoll,
welcome to the forum.
1) i wouldn't worry overmuch at the 201 issue.
2) Quote

which test utilities did you use, Don't quiet understand Quote
had a good effect and the computer runs fairly stable
3) It may be worth checking the Mushkin site or any documentation you have to verify that the auto settings agree with the quoted settings for the modules. It's not unkown for errors to occur when the memory controller on the CPU to misinterpret the SPD chip setting on your sticks - this is where the auto settings come from. Some memory like certain corsair modules need to run at different settings on AMD64, thus auto timings must be overidden,
4) Have you installed the Realtek drivers from the CD, & enabled onboard sound in Bios. When these are done normally there's the MSI Sound Effect manager in control panel. you just need to set your speaker config in the Windows Sounds & Audio Devices.
5) Usual question What power supply are you using as been underpowered on the 12v rail in particular can be the cause of crashes,

I am new at this and I don't want to damage my PC.
I've been reading about and I think my PC may be unstable and I hear that I shouldn't update because of that.
I occationally have hardware failure crashes (blue screen) and I was hoping that this new processor could change all of that (I have narrowed down the source of the crashes to my hard drive, RAM(maybe) or processor).
It might be the case that my BIOS is already 1.2 and I can skip all of this but I don't know how to check my current version.

Hi Henry, thanks for responding.
I have changed my sig, hope its alright.
I will give some info on my stability problem. I'm a novice when it comes to pc hardware so sorry if I come off a bit dense.
For a while now I have had the same anoying problem with my PC. HD videos and video games run really slow, it's not that I am unable to play them it's just that my PC struggles and they stutter, even though I have been told that my PC should be able to handle them no problem. And my PC keeps crashing sometimes with and sometimes without a blue screen hardware failure.
Over the last couple years I have been upgrading my PC, I added 3gig of ram, then I got an nVidia 8500, then PSU, motherboard, added another internal hdd but the same problem pursists. The only components I haven't upgraded are my CPU and my original hard drive. Everytime I upgrade, my PC runs a little bit faster, but still not as it should be.
I recently got Win7 from my university and I tried to install it on a partition but everytime I try I get a blue screen (hardware failure)
The weird thing is half the time when my PC crashes, it will crash again but if I'm lucky, if I can restart my PC after I get a bue screen, then my PC will run perfectly fine, HD vidoes work perfectly and so do my games. Usually to get my PC into this state, I need to keep restarting my PC just waiting for it to crash so my PC works properly.
I'm guessing that it's either, my CPU, hard drive or ram(maybe) causing the problem. I have tested each stick of ram individually but it didn't make a difference in my performance so I assume they are both fine (or it's both of them).
right now I'm trying to upgrade my CPU to the
intel Core 2 Quad
Freq. 2.50GHz
FSB 1333MHz
L2 Cache 4MB
Core 45nm
Socket LGA 775

Video lag at start and stability problems in Android 4 (ICS) when using Video and StageVideo

I'm experiencing some problems with video playback in a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 tablet, which comes with Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich).
In Android 3 (Honeycomb) and 2 (Gingerbread and Froyo) video playback worked perfectly and started with no lag, but in Android 4 video takes like a couple of seconds to start, showing nothing during that time.
This problem happens when using either Video and StageVideo objects, but when using StageVideo, there's also another problem: When playing back a second video after having closed the first, even after some minutes, when starting the next video I can see during those couple of seconds a still image of the previous video, in the part where it was stopped. Why?
None of this happened in Android 3 and 2, so I don't think it's something related to my code (and I've reviewed it several times to try and find a solution). This seems to be an Android 4 specific issue with AIR, since I've tried several Android 4 tablets of different brands and all of them show this behaviour. I've tried with AIR 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 beta, and this problem happens in all three.
Also, there are some random stability problems if the app goes to sleep while playing a video. Sometimes, it doesn't wake up properly and freezes, giving you a "force close" Android message. Sometimes it wakes up properly but the video doesn't show or it's paused. All of this in "CPU" mode. In "Direct" mode it seems to work a little better.
BTW, can someone explain what's exactly the new "Direct" mode. I know it's needed for Stage3D, but I don't know why there's that specific mode, when there's GPU mode. Isn't Stage3D supposed to use the device's GPU? Well, Direct mode seems to be "better" than GPU in that filter effects work, whereas GPU mode doesn't support filters, so if you can use Stage3D while using filter effects, that's great.

Yes, it's unfortunately still not fixed. Also, I've looked into the bugbase report I filed:
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3205172
And it seems they've CLOSED this bug!
They say that they can't "control the video overlay buffer that is still in the hardware. This really depend on how ICS handle their buffer and external playback".
The only workaround is NOT using StageVideo, but just regular video. But then you can't use hardware acceleration!
Also, there's the crashing bug, which is even more important. Video crashes too often, especially in off-brand tablets, which are becoming very common!

Stability Problems/MSI K7D-L 6501

Note* To other members that have helped so far, I appreciate it a lot*
As I mentioned earlier in a topic, I asked about what values were good for a power supply, now I'm asking for a help with Stability problems. Since I have installed this power supply, I have used MSI's Pc Alert 3 program, Speedfan, and Motherboard Monitor. The problem is as follows.
When I first cold boot, everything seems to be in check, once it begins windows, it complete hangs, and then reboots, byself. Once it reboots, it starts windows 2000 fine. After PC alert starts, say anywhere from 1 to 10 mins, I get error messages in the log for Chassis fan not operational, and it shows ZERO, Same as speedfan, motherboard monitor. Then I get Voltage spikes and drops, Standby, +12v, Battery, CPU VCore to high, to low, etc, ...Motherboard monitor and PC alert also records this too, where speedfan doesn't always catch it. But, also when it shows that the CPU fan's have ZERO RPM's and the Chassis is ZERO, they are all working. Now before I forget, I did have an Enlight 420, but now I have a AGI 400. Big mistake problably, i'm sure to find out. With the Enlight 420, it did show an error for Zero chassis fan, but I also believe that with everything I have running, I am well over Combined VOltage. I did some numbers and I think I should have something that is at least 450 or higher. I used the website http://www.jscustompcs.com/power_supply/ just to get an idea, and I didn't know that the xp's can consume up to 62 watts of power, add everything I have and your talking about 439 watts total.
I call the store that I got this power supply from,(Mind you I have only had since the 17th of Sept.) and they think it's hardware. Now my board doesn't show any problems such as bad caps, or etc. The DLED lights are showing everything is fine. They don't belive it is anything to do with the power supply, so I have to wait until they get a bigger wattage in so that I can swap it. Their website says they carry up to 500 and this sad, not to even have the merchandise in and still advertise it. I think that's FALSE ADVERTISING, and is punishable, since they want to charge me a restocking fee
If anybody has any suggestions or ideas, I'm willing to listen because my comp is down and it's bugging me to have all this hardware and money sitting here, and not able to use it.
Thank You,
Heatpipe
PS, Thanks Again to Wonkanoby for time and help, I didn't want him to think I had forgotten.

Well I tried that, and when windows started up the first time, 1/4 of the way and the screen just garbled over, did that for about 10 sec, and then rebooted and loaded windows as i mentioned earlier in the thread. I don't know what else to do really, maybe putthe Enlight back in and see what that does

Stability problems since the last update

hey there,
It's really easy and intuitive to work with Muse but since the last update I am facing a lot of stability problems with the software, just wanted to know if some of you do so too or I should reinstall it. Here are the Major Problems,
- Zoning in further than 125/150 % will crash the program
-I am currently working on a 30mb (muse file size) big homepage about 8000px long. I didn't have any problems when stretching the page so long in the beginning but now the program will crash as soon I try so change the site length, including click an drag at the bottom and manual input via site->site properties.
I work with Windows 7x64, a I7-3770 and 16gb Ram.
I use the other products of the CC as well and didn't face any stability problems so far even though i think some of them need way more workingpower :/
So, what do you think?
All the best, Lucas

If you have a large image on the page that was imported using File > Place or as part of a slideshow and it's being cropped in Muse, zooming in/out on the page can trigger a crash. I wish I could say this was newly introduced, but it's not. It's a bug we've been living with for awhile because the fix requires significant architectural changes. We've made those changes for the next major release (due out later this quarter), but this bug is still in Muse 7.
You can avoid this crash by resizing and cropping the image(s) outside of Muse before bringing them into Muse.
If you're interested in working with the new release in Beta, all subscribers who can accept the terms of the Non-disclosure Agreement are invited to join the Adobe Muse Private Beta Program at http://museprerelease.com
The crash when changing Site Properties may, or may not, be related to the large image(s). Can you provide a screenshot of any errors that appear? Thanks.

Stability problems with qemu

hi all,
I've been playing around with qemu last week, but i'm experiencing some stability problems. But I can't really evoke a crash, it's just when i'm doing something in qemu (trying to install damnsmalllinux on hd) en that doesn't really work like it should, my entire pc hangs. If I'm lucky and the qemu window didn't have the focus, I can ctrl-alt-backspace en restart X, but the qemu sessions keep running (hanging?) in the background. pkill qemu doesn't cut it either.
As my laptop is getter somewhat older (2002), I'm a bit worried that the hardware is getting flaky.
Running kernel26 2.6.22.5-1, with qemu but without kqemu.
How the test what's the real problem?

QEMU has never felt very solid to me. I suggest you try VirtualBox.

Stability problems with PC companion

Hi!
Just out of curiosity, am I the only one having stability problems with my PC after installing PC companion?
I'm getting three or four freezes per day after installing the suite and none after deinstalling.
("freezing": neither CtrlAltDel nor normal pushing of the switch off button work. I have to press the on/off button on the PC for 5s for a hardware switchoff)
We' seem to have traced it to a problem where a driver has the same name as one already installed on windows (apparently some fingerprint stuff). Unfortunately my colleague can't remember precise details anymore as it was some time ago.
Does anyone experience similar problems?
Lots of Greetings!
Volker

so your pc freezes after you open pc companion or without opening it..??
if you want to update yor phone use this instead.

Passed Memtest? How many times? If you mean it went through all tests once and passed, that doesn't mean much. Run test #5 twenty times and test #7 twenty times. Even then, it's not a guarantee. I see it supports the RAM, at least that designation. Unfortunately, we do not know if the same chips that were in the tested RAM, that MSI used, are in the RAM you purchased. Kingston, OCZ, and others have a habit of changing chip suppliers and NOT changing their RAM designations. Additionally, the memory controller is in the CPU, not the motherboard, therefore, the issue is between the CPU and the RAM. Are you using the same CPU that MSI used when testing the RAM.
Thank u that information is actually useful

K7T266 PRO2-RU stability problems

In the last few months I've been experiencing general stability issues with my K7T266 PRO2-RU. In attempts to try and resolve these issues I've flashed the BIOS, updated drivers, reinstalled Windows numerous times, checked for leaking capacitors and reduced the machine to nothing more than the essential hardware (video card, memory, processor).
In troubleshooting I've discovered very little, except that none of these things have been very successful and some odd things that are outlined below.
1. The machine still randomly reboots, and programs crash inexplicably without error.
2. WindowsXP invariably hangs during installation to the RAID controller (RAID 0). I've tried various driver versions but all reproduce a similar result. I suspected there may be a problem with the drives, but that doesn't appear to be the case as it does this regardless of the drives used - 2 Maxtor DiamondMax Plus D740X'(s). It also does this when using 2 Western Digital WD300BB'(s) and new cables, so I know it is NOT my drives. Windows will install to one drive but is as previously stated - unstable.
3. I've tested the machine using another video card, in addition to running the video card and the memory in my other box, of which both cards are good and run rock solid under stress testing.
Any ideas or suggestions are welcome.
Here's the config:
MSI K7T266 PRO2-RU (Bios Rev. 3.7)
Athlon 1800+ (Not OC'd)
256MB Corsair XMS PC2400 (x2)
Asus GeForce 6800
Maxtor DiamondMax Plus D740X (x2)
Creative SB Audigy Platinum

Thanks for the suggestion,
While I was waiting to see if anyone would quickly reply I read through previous posts to the forum and found a link to memtest86. I've already tested one module to isolate bank 0 as known good and it passed. 2nd attempt I put both modules in, 1 in bank 0 and the other in bank 2. I began receiving errors only after 5 min. I never suspected this would be the problem as I tested the memory in another machine and previously with an obviously inferior memory test app and it passed. No big deal though, at least now I've discovered the problem.
I'm now doing additional testing to the suspect module.
(Errors in Bank 2 - Next trying it in Bank 0 which I know worked, just to rule out a possibly defective bank)
Update:
Errors all over the place in Bank 0,1, and 2 - Looks like the module took the dirt nap. Time to use that lifetime warranty.
Thanks again.

P45 Neo3-FR Memory Stability Problems

Hi folks,
I recently upgraded my motherboard to a P45 Neo3-FR but am having severe stability (blue screen) problems with the memory. These issues go away when I install some ‘standard’ PC-5300 1.8v DIMMs. According to the ‘test reports’ this memory model is fully compatible with the motherboard. CPU-Z reports an FSB/Memory ratio of 5:6 which looks a bit odd even to me. I’ve looked at the BIOS ‘Cell Menu’ but am completely new to OC so have no real idea how to configure it. Can someone point me in the right direction please.
I found this https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=123496.0 but I’m not sure that it will help.
Mobo: P45 Neo3-FR v1.0
BIOS: v1.7 (10 Feb 2009)
CPU: Core 2 Quad Q9650
RAM: 4x1Gb Crucial Ballistix DDR2 PC2-6400 4-4-4-12 2.0v (BL12864AA80A.8FE5)
GPU: Nvidia GeForce 8600GT
HD: 4x500Gb RAID 10
OS: XP Pro SP3

The chipset is supported by CPU-z and I'm pretty sure that the BIOS settings are correct but I am still getting the same problems, particularly with both memory channels in use. I'm beginning to think that the BIOS has a particular problem with this memory.
I'm also little nervous of flashing a beta BIOS (unless it comes directly from MSI) so rather than try Ixon's solution, I've raised an issue with MSI and will see what they say before making my next move.
In the mean time I've set everything back to auto and have installed two mismatched 1Gb DDR2 667 1.8v DIMMs which will be fine. All I need to do now is sort out the blasted corruptions compounded by the multiple 'blue screens' and get on with my life.
Thx for your help so far.

Performance and Stability Problem with PE9

I just upgraded my computer to a Core i5 with 8G of memory and everything is running much faster. But my NEW PE9 just run very slow. Some of the simple tasks take 10-30 second to complete. Even Windows 7 will often come out to ask if I want to wait for PE9 to wake up or kill the process. When I want to change the size of a video clip, it just doesn't work at all due to performance. It will take PE9 20-30 seconds to resize the video clip. Without some realtime feedback of the size, it is impossible to do the resizing and this is a very fundamental operation. PE9 often crash or seize up as well, I didn't have any of these problem with PE3.0. I upgraded to PE9 simply because my PE3.0 for WIndows XP is not comletely compatible with Windows 7 (some of the text displace does not show up).
Do anyone else have issue with performance and stability?
