GT60 0NC, no GPU and fan at 100% all the time

Hello.
Recently after many tries to solve nvlddmkm.sys problems I've got final crash. After which my OS could not see my GPU and fan was spinning at full speed. It was after underclocking shader clock from 1240MHz to 1200MHz and opening a game. The screen froze and at the bottom of the it, there was black belt through the screen with RGB colours dots in random locations. Now after full reinstall of the OS from win7 64bit to win8.1 64bit, this all still persist.
Any ideas would be good, as I could not see nor find any solution to this.
My current config is:
-MSI laptop GT60 0NC
-NVIDIA GPU GeForce GTX 670M
-Intel Core i7-3630QM
-Windows 8.1 Pro N 64bit

So to settle the fan down I would have to disable dGPU. Not just unplug it but disable it. And to do this I would probably need unlocked BIOS. Correct me if I am wrong, if not I would appreciate any leads how to do this.
And if my dGPU is broken I can at least try the oven. And question about further actions, can i access mini PCI-e in MSI GT60 0NC in any way? To try connecting external GPU via EXP GDC Beast Laptop External Independent Video Card Dock. I do have GTX 460 from my old PC so I am just wondering.

The kernel is using excessive processor cycles. Below are some possible causes for the condition.
Throttling
When it gets high temperature readings from the hardware, or low voltage readings from the battery of a MacBook, the kernel may try to compensate by interrupting the processor(s) to slow them down and reduce power consumption. This condition can be due to:
☞ a buildup of dust on the logic board
☞ high ambient temperature
☞ a worn-out or faulty battery in a portable
☞ the malfunction of a cooling fan, a temperature sensor, a voltage sensor, or some other internal component
Note that if the problem is caused by a sensor, there may be no actual overheating or undervoltage.
If the computer is portable, test with and without the AC adapter connected. If kernel_task hogs the processor only on AC power, charging is causing the machine to heat up. That behavior may be normal for some models. CPU usage should drop when charging is complete.
Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, though not very reliable, is sometimes able to detect a fault. For more thorough hardware testing, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
If nothing is wrong with the hardware, then whatever you can do to improve cooling may help.
Installed software
User-installed software that includes a device driver or other kernel code may thrash the kernel. That category includes virtualization software, such as Parallels and VMware, as well as most commercial "anti-virus" products. Some system-monitoring applications, such as "iStat," can also contribute to the problem. You can test for this possibility by completely disabling or removing the software according to the developer's instructions, or starting in safe mode. Note, however, that disabling a system modification without removing it or testing in safe mode may not be as easy as you think.
Corrupt NVRAM or SMC data
Sometimes the problem is cleared up by resetting the NVRAM or the SMC.
External display
Connecting an external LCD display to some MacBook Pro models while the lid is open may cause this issue. If applicable, test by closing the lid or disconnecting the display. You might get better results with a newer LED display.

My fan is on all the time - possible overheating; software cause?

I’ve got a 17” G4 powerbook running Panther (OS10.3.9). It has been doing great but lately I’m noticing that the fan is running all the time. The thing sits on one of those aluminum wedge-shaped platforms (for max. air flow) on my desk and the room isn’t very hot. I have a temp monitor running on it and it says 52 C, even though the machine isn’t doing anything computational. I’ve also gotten one warning from the SMART sensor on the internal drive about a possible future failure due to high heat. I do know that my disk space is running low (2 Gigs when I boot up, which slowly disappears as I work). Is there anything software-related that can be the cause of this or do I definitely need to send it to a repair shop? If the latter, then where do I send it? My AppleCare is surely expired now… Is an Apple store my best bet, or an independent repair place, or what?

I have a very similar problem. My G4 has been running great since I picked it up in January. But, in the last couple days my fan has been running real loud and the machine in general has been hot. Today was watching some youtube and my machine started to freeze up all togeather (a problem I've never had before) as the fan started sound extra loud. As I tried to power down my machine the fan started to make a more grinding type of sound and cause my whole laptop to vibrate. I just really want to know the best coarse of action here. Should I take my mahine to my mac people and have them replace the fan? Is this a common problem? What is this a cronic problem that is a symtom of somthing more ominoius?
Thanks for you're help!!!

Database Time Spent Waiting (%): Wait Class Other nearly 100% all the time

Don't understand why OEM is reporting that Database Time Spent Waiting (%): Wait Class Other is nearly 100% all the time. Database 10.1.0.4 just installed on Linux(RHEL4AS) and nobody use it for now except OEM and me for admin purpose.
Any clue for that problem ?

Seems like you are not the first to see this kind of behaviour.
I've found another similar thread on metalink. I can't say the answer is terribly helpful, but thought you might be interested anyway:

Hi everyone, yesterday we create a new database instance with dbca, the creation process was ok, and the two instances are running ok, database stops and starts without any problem, and listeners are ok. In the enterprise manager of this new instance we found this message:
Database Time Spent Waiting (%) at 100 in event class Commit, this event happend every 1 or 2 minutes sometimes at 100, the next 40%, the next 98, ... and so on.
Do you know what's happend in this instance?

From Oracle Database Reference Manual:
Commit
This wait class only comprises one wait event - wait for redo log write confirmation after a commit (that is, 'log file sync')
So you can't write fast enough into your log files.
Did you check the frequency of log switches?

Hi José! Please don't get anxious because of this: Wait time must be SOMEWHERE, there's a saying "An OLTP DB is only as fast as its redo logs", but if you are not having any performance problem you don't need to do anything special.
You say you've just created the DB. Now make it DO something: put it to the test by simulating production conditions as closely as you can, and after some hours ask the users whether there is some problem. If there is, take a look at the wait statistics... you'll probably see many other top events before this one!

Can not see my Airport in the list of Wifi networks and is blinking organge all the time

Can not see my airport on the list of WiFi networks and is blinking orange all the time. Tried to reset several times.

Do you have a Mac or idevice for setting up the Express? It does require a later utility than is available for windows.
You might be able to setup with the v5 utility in windows but there is no guarantee.
You should use a simple name both for the base and the wireless. eg AEXgen2 base name and AEXwifi for wireless name.. that is if you get access.

The last week, Firefox will not load up the NEW YORK TIMES. So, I have had to use Safari to do so. If this continues, I'm going to quit using your browser, and begin using Safari all the time!

There are several other similar posts in this forum with the answers. Your post appears third in my Google search today looking for a solution so I thought I'd add the solution here as well.
It is obviously a bug in either (or both) Firefox and the NYT.
The quickest solution is to simply go to the VIEW Menu in Firefox, then the ZOOM option and choose RESET.
I use Mac and this happens in Firefox 3.6.10. It does not happen in other browsers like Safari, Chrome and Camino, and it did not occur before last week.
It has also occurred in the iOS version of Safari on iPad. Not sure how to fix it there.

PIAFUSER and PIAPPLUSER get locked all the time - where are they used?!

Hi guys,
well i am no basis guy but i have to do the following.
We want to use one SLD for PROD & DEV. We chose DEV SLD to be the one!
Therefore i followed Note 720717 in detailed way.
Because there is mentioned i have to change sth. in Service SLD Data Supplier i did so in PROD for giving the SLD-Adress of DEV. This was looking good, i changed, saved and restarted service.
But now the User PIAFUSER and PIAPPLUSER get locked all the time - even without trying to get SLD-Connection.
When i do SLDCHECK we also get error:
Calling function LCR_LIST_BUSINESS_SYSTEMS
Retrieving data from the SLD server.
Function call returned exception code ....4
=> Check whether the SLD is running!
..and it is running!
Could someone help?! We already read post and blogs the last 4 hours but nothing helped that far!

And we get some errors from CC also - e.g. when we want to get a file read:
com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.ConfigException: Some of the IS access information is not available. SLDAcess property may be set to true, but SLD is not available.

Hi,
well i already re-checked all pwds again like given in Note 936093.
Everything runs fine that far but again, the PIAFUSER gets locked, PIAPPLUSER doesn't get locked anymore - finally.
The reason why i was coming to this error is because we need to use one SLD - i described already.
So now we wanted to check our PROD Scenarios, running a test with a FILE-CC and got following error in CC-Monitoring:
ERROR:com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.ConfigException: SLDAccess set to true, but not available.
What could cause this error else than some stuff with pwds?!
Any ideas?! i work 10 hours on this crap now

MacBook Retina 13 fan goes up all the time and wlan crashes every few minutes

Hello,
I've got a MacBook Retina 13" Haswell edition and as soon I open any kind of app or if I just idle at the desktop the fan goes up to 100% and the temperature of the CPU goes over 90celsius all the time.
Also my wifi connection drops all the time im not using my thunderbolt bridge which is super annoying, it can only be fixed by tuning the wifi on and off and after 10 minutes it disconnects again.
is there any way to fix it?

Backup your data or Home folder. Boot from your Snow Leopard installer disc. Select your language and click on the Continue button. Wait for the menubar to appear then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard drive from the DU sidebar, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended, Journaled, then click on the Erase button. When the process is finished quit DU and return to the installer. Complete the installation.
After you have reinstalled OS X you can restore your data from the backup.

(CS4) Photoshop 32Bit + Bridge + Win7 = CPU 100% all the time

This is something that occurred to me many times now:
I need to use the 32Bit-Version of Photoshop because of all the Plugins I use and some of them run ONLY on one of them at a time, like PixelBender ( W H Y ? ? ? )
So: Whenever I have Photoshop 32bits running (because it would default to 64bits where my plugins are not available) and open Bridge afterwards to open a file in PS, Photoshop stays at 100% CPU (on one of the cores) all the time without any reason. I also checked if there were selections active (yes, selections sometimes pretty much need a LOT of CPU power, whyever!)
Otherwise, when I first start Bridge and THEN Photoshop 32Bits, the CPU usage is okay. Something seems using up much CPU power in some kind of endless loop / dead lock or something?!
It's quite annoying, because I don't use Bridge that often. Sometimes I want to start Bridge "on demand". And if I have opened Photoshop already I would have to close down everything just to be able to start Bridge again without losing a full CPU core.
So if anyone has the same issues like me: Just reverse the opening order: First open Bridge, THEN open Photoshop and everything should be fine.

I don't have an answer to your question about the infinite loop, but I can answer this:
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

( W H Y ? ? ? )
A plugin is a special kind of callable function library (Dynamic Link Library, or DLL in Windows speak). A 32 bit DLL cannot be used by a 64 bit version of Photoshop. In order to use the completely different instruction set the processor provides for 64 bit operation, the plugin code must be compiled specifically for 64 bit operation.
All plugins developed before the time of Photoshop CS4 were originally developed as 32 bit applications, because Photoshop was only 32 bit. Even today, 32 bit users outnumber 64 bit users by a large margin.
Microsoft makes it almost trivially easy to compile 32 bit source code as a 64 bit application, BUT... If the programmer hasn't been careful in his use of data types - specifically those that will be a different size (e.g., a pointer will be increased from 32 bits to 64 bits), then doing so - even if the software compiles successfully - might yield a non-functional plugin.
Sadly, many programmers are not careful with their use of data types. This is 30+ years of software engineering talking.
With good design and good coding practices, the code will be good and the programmer will be able to compile a 64 bit plugin quickly. Even bad code can be cleaned up in time, so that it can be made to work in 64 bit form.
But there's even more that must be done...
Most serious software uses an installer.
Installing software on a 64 bit system requires big changes to the installation package, or maybe even a whole new installer. There is, for example, the added complexity that you, the user, might want the proper variant of the plugin installed into each of your 32 bit and 64 bit Photoshop installations. And possibly multiples (e.g., CS4, CS5). Creating a good installer package is somewhat akin to designing a rocket booster. Except that the latter is generally agreed to be easier.
And all this is just on the Windows side! It must be repeated for the Mac, assuming the plugin is marketed into that segment as well.
So... If your favorite plugin doesn't run under Photoshop x64, and the author doesn't have an upgrade available that does, maybe they are struggling to make it work, maybe they decided the x64 user market isn't big enough for their attention right now, or maybe they're just working on something else.
Probably more than you wanted to know, eh?

Powerbook fan turned on all the time?

I just had my logic board replaced and since I've had it back, the fan run constantly. All the time, non-stop. The temperature sensors read the processor temperature at ambient (24-26C) and the hard drive at 40C.
Is there a setting or something I can tweak rather than send it all the way back to apple? I lost a whole week of work when it was in repair and dread having to send it in again...

I'm not aware of any setting that will turn the fans on or off, beyond the Apple hardware test that tests if they are working. Although you're not keen on returning the machine to Apple, they mucked something up and need to make it right.
That said, you can try resetting the Power Mangement Unit by following directions at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449

I want my fan to run all the time on power adapter, any guru know how?

After buring out one hard drive, and getting tired of hauling a mini-fan and 1/2" foot spacers around with me between motels, I want a way to force the powerbook fan to run at full speed all-the-time when the powerbook is connected to a/the power adapter. Anybody out there know of a "patch" / "script" / "shell add-on" that will do this on 10.2.x?

Trust me, you don't want to do this. That's not how they are designed to run. If your machine is overheating, consider this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=30612
And perhaps a notebook cooler, like this one by Antec. And when get back home, run the hardware test that came with your machine:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86178
If your machine is under AppleCare, I would take it in for service if any issues are detected.
Also note if your battery is under the battery exchange program:

Fans are on all the time/lots of beach balls

since loading leopard the fans on my 2.5 dual power mac G5(7 gig ram)
are on all the time also just about every click from the mouse gives me the dreaded beach ball of dome
has anyone had this problem
thanks
charlie

i did a clean install of leopard and i'm seeing beach balls more than an other OS X !
Safari seems to be having a hard time of it too.
i know its early on but for me this seems the least stable cat out of the bag so far... maybe its a power pc thing.

HT1338 i have some bugs on computer, how do i get them off, kids are playing games, and i get popups all the time, please help

Is there an antivirus for the imac my kids have played some games and now I have popup's all the time.

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
