GT70 Barebone - Strange issue after upgarde to GTX980M

Hi
I just upgraded my Laptop (Medion Erazer X7825) with a GTX980M. Amazing card - fast - silent - a dream.
Unfortunately I'm having a real strange issue with that machine now:
Booting with a external screen connected to HDMI crashes the Intel HD4600 driver and the fan starts to spin real fast. I checked CPU and GPU temps but they seem perfectly ok (about 50 degree celsius). In addition the backlight of the laptop screen is lit but it is not detectable or usable.
Booting without external screen and everything is fine. If I connect it after boot the machine switches the main display to the external screen and the laptop screen is not lit any more. Everything fine so far.
Once I activate the Laptop Screen as second screen however the fan goes crazy again after a few minutes. The only good thing is - I could in theorie use both screens that way.
If the fan spins up it does so suddenly and violently and without any obvious reason: CPU and GPU temps are really low and no 3D app is running.
Medion is selling the same machine (same chassis, still GT70 based so I assume same hardware) with a gtx980m pre installed. However Medion is not providing any firmware updates for the Erazer series.
I think this is an issue that is most probably related to bios and/or vbios and could be fixed. I just need to get in touch with someone who has access to the right ressources and know how.
If someone could help me with requiring either the bios and vbios of an Medion Erazer X7835 - OR with a matching MSI GT70 Bios and a better GTX980M MSI bios than I have that would be a great help. Last step would be to advise me a little on how to flash because the medion bios is crippled - i CAN'T disable secure boot unfortunately.
Any other help or advise with the issue would also be highly apprectiated.
My GT70 Bios reads:
1763EM71 and E1763IM7.50B
My GTX980M vBios reads:
84.04.22.00.0A
UPDATE 2014-12-21:
I also just found out that the way I connect the external monitor does also make a difference: If I connect via VGA cable the intel HD driver is not crashing even when I connect before boot. And the fan is keeping it's silence - at least as far as I can tell right now.

Really weird symptom.....But why you think that Intel Graphic driver crashed?! Have you seen other failure besides fan went nuts?
Yes. The device manager showed an error with the HD 4600 iGP. And the intel HD control panel did not show up. Furthermore the internal display was not detected/unusuable.
So this is where I stand right now:
With the help of a very kind soul here I updated my Bios and EC to a very recent Medion version.
The intel driver is not crashing any more with the monitor connected using HDMI at boot.
However the fan/EC is still going into panic mode after a random time.
With the new bios/ec firmware I can run 3d benchmarks for hours as long as I do NOT connect the external screen. The intel driver seems also to be not crashing any more. As soon as I do connect an internal monitor after some time - fan in panic mode and does not calm down again.
All temperature readings I can see a perfectly fine (CPU, HD4600 GPU and 980m GPU).
I'm really desperate right now. I THINK it is somehow connected to optimus and an issue with intel igp + gtx980m.
I would like to try another vBios if I could just get a hold of it.
Right now it's reading "84.04.22.00.0A (P04 B-oard)" (exactly this - including the P04 B-oard).
If someone is able to share a newer/different MSI vBios or has the clevo bios the card had originally (which I lost) please post a link or PM me.
I'm about to give up :(

Strange issues after 10.6.4 update

Hi there
I've noticed a few weird things after upgrading to 10.6.4:
1) All my fonts in Microsoft Office applications have been set to default. After changing then, they still revert back.
2) When browsing the web, TinyMCE boxes display weird characters when I enter text
Anyone else experience similar issues?

Did you update to 10.6.4 via the combo updater? If not then download it:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1048
Repair Permissions using Disk Utility, run the updater and then Repair Permissions again.

Strange issue after restarting

After I restart my MacPro the external hard drive is not mounted and the sound comes out of the machine’s internal speaker, not the desktop speaker. But, if I shut the system down completely and power it back up I have no issues??? This only occurs when I restart.
Any suggestions?

If it helps any, every time I restart, or start for that matter, the sound comes out of the internal speakers and not my desktop speakers.

menuconfig? are you using a custom compiled kernel? perhaps this is the source of your problems?

Satellite A200 - strange issue after graphic driver upgrade

The problem concerns the driver for Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family. System: Vindows VISTA 32bit Home Premium Service Pack 1. Laptop: Satellite A200.
I installed the new driver from this source (suggestion by Toshiba TEMPO):
http://ce.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?ID=65340&OSID=26&drive rLanguage=42&SOURCE=TEMPO&LNG=20
After switching on of the computer, the system is constantly asking me ("warning about securities"), whether to run (open) 3 files: C:\Windows\System32\igfxtray.exe / ...hkcmd.exe / ...igfxpers.exe. Disabling of option "Always ask before opening of the file" doesn't help. I have to choose option "Open / Cancel / Close" to continue switching on of the Windows (any option allows switching on). Please mind that I have translated above mentioned communications from Polish.
Answer for the question, which I received from Intel(R) Technical Support:
++This is actually not a problem with our drivers. This is related to the administrative/user rights and security features set by Windows* Vista.++
Yours faithfully,
Maciej Kochan

When you install drivers, you should Right-click the EXE file and choose "Run as Administrator".
You should also temporarily disable your security software or reconfigure it to allow the system file.
Spyware removal tools such as AdAware and Spybot (or the spyware tool in your Internet Security package) may be blocking the system file.

New SMS icon having strange issues after 7.1.2 update

Hi guys,
Since updating to the latest iOS 7.1.2 a weird thing is happening with my SMS function.
As you can see from the screenshots below one of the icons is permanently shown, regardless of whether I click through elsewhere. This error is also affecting the points at where a click is recognised.
Has anyone had a similar experience with this? It isn't stopping me using the device...but it's just a bit annoying.

Toshiba 32L4333 - Strange issue after firmware 7.1.92.41.01.1 installation

Hi,
I've installed firmware update a few days ago. Now when I turn off the TV, the display goes off for some time (couple of minutes) and then it goes on again with just a black light (like the backlight is on), and stays on. I did not have this issue before the update. Is there a way to fix this, or to roll back to the previous version of the firmware?
Message was edited by: n.dimov

Since few weeks on my TV I get message that new update is available and ready for download. Somehow I don't want to change anything because TV works perfectly.
I don't know if this will help but you can try to set your machine to original factory settings. Test it please and send some feedback. I would like to know if this will fix described issue.

Strange problems after installing Solaris 10 u6 on 64-bit PC

Hi all,
I have run into some very strange issues after installing Solaris 10 update 6 on my 64-bit PC (it's almost new). The problems are with graphical applications and desktop environments based on GTK (so it seems, at least).
I have installed Solaris normally, following most of the default options and choosing the "Entire Group" software packages installation. However, after the first login I've seen that:
1. No user creation process was offered to me and I had to login as root (I find it pretty strange)
2. After logging in as root into JDK system, my screen went blank for a couple of seconds and then the system threw me back to the login screen.
3. Logging into the old CDE environment was possible, but launching Firefox from there (using a command line terminal) wasn't. It gave me the following error message:
ld.so.1: firefox-bin: fatal: libmlib.so.2: open failed: no such file or directory
ld.so.1: firefox-bin: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/bin/firefox/firefox-bin: symbol gtk_init: referenced symbol not found.
It's very strange because GTK toolkit and JDK environment are supposed to be the core functionalities provided by Solaris. Does anyone have an idea what's going on?
My system sum-up:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quand Q6600 @ 2.4 GHz
RAM: 2 Gb of DDR2 SDRAM
Motherboard: MSI MS-7529 (Intel G31 chipset)
Monitor: AOC LM725
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT
Hard disk: 2 Western Digital HDs (SATA) 320 Gb each,
1 Western Digital external USB HD MyBook Essential 2, 500 Gb
DVD drives: 2 LG DVD drives (SATA)
Network card: Realtek RTL8168C(P)/8111C(P) PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC
I use my system in the following way:
On the first hard disk, I have a one-partition 32-bit Windows XP SP3 installation (ported from my old computer).
On the second hard disk, I have a functioning Fedora Core 9 installed on the first half of the disk's space (the installation is self-organized into several Linux partitions, e. g. /boot, /swap etc; I am a newbie so I don't know too much about Linux partitioning - only specified to Fedora how much space it could use for its volume group). I installed Solaris onto the second half of the second disk.
It has be noted that my USB external drive seemed to conflict with the network or graphics cards during the Fedora installation and caused it to hang sporadically, so I installed Fedora with this disk detached. I also detached it when I was installing Solaris, though it seems to have not influenced the problems I experienced. I also have attempted installing Solaris before I did so with Fedora, but had the same issues.

Well, it seems that the cause of the problem was that my DVD image was just corrupted - I didn't check it vs MD5 codes supplied by Sun assuming it went automatically OK. I downloaded the image again (this time it was OK), reinstalled the system and successfully logged into JDS. However, I am still puzzled why Solaris doesn't offer to create a default non-root user during the installation process.

Date format Issue after HRSP Update

Hi,
We are faced with a strange issue after HRSP update was applied on our client system (upgraded from SAP-KE-30 to SAP-KE-36).
There is an outgoing interface which picks up all the the starters into the local government pension scheme and updates a B2A document. This is implemented via a z-program.
When we look at the out put after the interface has run for the vast majority of employees it shows their date of birth as 21.05.1968 when it should show it as 21051968. This only appears to have happen after the HRSP's have been applied.
No modifications have been made to the z-program. What could be the reason for this issue. has anyone faced such an issue post HRSP update?
Any pointers on how to further investigate and resolve the issue will be most helpful.
Regards

Hello Iside,
In this case we can try to reload the software on the BlackBerry Smartphone to make sure it is running the latest version and there are no issues with the OS on the device.
To do this we would need to back up the BlackBerry Smartphone. Please open the BlackBerry Desktop Manager and connect your device. Click on the Backup and Restore options and select Back Up. Please note the location where the backup is being saved as we will need to access it later to restore the BlackBerry Smartphone.
Once you have backed up your BlackBerry Smartphone please follow the link below to complete a clean reload of the BlackBerry Smartphone software.
Link: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB11320
Please test the date once the software is reloaded prior to restoring the backup.
Thank you

Strange Application Issues after Mountain Lion Upgrade!

I'm having, what I believe to be, strange issues with a clean install of Mountain Lion from 10.6.8
It's for my boss' computer at work so I can't afford to have it down for very long at a time. It's hard to pinpoint the issue(s).
Computer:
Mac Pro - Early 2009
OS X 10.8.3
2 x 2.6 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
32 GB 1066 MHz DDR3
The startup disk is 4x2TB RAID 5 using Apple RAID card (Firmware version: E-1.3.2.0; Hardware Revision: 2.00; Driver version: 124
The following is what happened/is happening:
1. (Tuesday)
Created a bootable backup of system drive using Disk Utility
Performed a Clean install
Used migration assistant to copy over applications from backup
Downloaded (from Amazon) and installed Microsoft Office 2011
Imported Addresses (including imported Previous Recipients that were imported into Contacts before exporting on old system)
Setup email & copied over mailboxes from backup
Moved all files back onto the system (User folders)
Everything worked fine from Wednesday - Sunday.
Problems reported to me (Sunday)
"Chinese characters" on save dialogue box in Microsoft Excel
Mail crashed while dragging a photo from safari to it
After a restart, Mail, all Microsoft Office apps, and Final Cut Pro wouldn't open.
Tried to reset preference files, but nothing worked.
2. (Monday night)
Performed another Clean Install
Migrated Applications
Transferred mailboxes (not old emails at this time)
Imported same group of addresses as before into Contacts
Installed Microsoft Office
Moved user data back
Transferred old email mailboxes (Tuesday afternoon)
Everything worked fine Tuesday - Thursday early morning)
Problems reported to me (Thursday morning)
When typing in an email address to send an email, it didn't autofill. Mail crashed.
Mail wouldn't open. Different from last, this time it said the ~/Library/Mail folder was moved. I checked and the folder was there with everything in it fine.
The Microsoft applications that were open at the time of the Mail crash still worked, but others wouldn't open. After closing the open applications then they wouldn't open back up (same as before)
Final Cut Pro opened fine.
Fixed Mail by deleting the ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail folder.
Later found out that though Final Cut would open it would crash when loading a project and that Quicklook wouldn't work for quicktime files across the network & codecs were missing (this could have been cause by me when trying to test problems).
3. (Sunday)
Restored from a different bootable backup I made after 2nd clean install and migrated applications.
Repaired Permissions using Disk Utility
Moved over Mail data
Copied over user data
*Didn't import the addresses
Checked to make sure all the fonts were validated and no duplicates
Everything worked fine after install and through Monday.
Problems to me (Tuesday morning)
Microsoft Office disappeared completely from the computer. No folder in Applications or dock icons.
Slower to connect to network files
Re-installed Microsoft Office to keep work progress going.
What would be causing this peculiarity? It works after I fix it and for a little afterwards but then strange things happen.
Would repairing disk permissions on bootable backup (of 10.6.8) before using migration assistant help?
What is the best way to track down what is causing these issues?
Thanks!

I suggest that the best way to upgrade from 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion is one of the following:
(1) Simply perform an upgrade install. This is in fact Apple's recommended approach. I am not sure why you have not yet tried that. I have done this myself successfully.
(2) Make a backup of the working 10.6.8 system; better yet is to make two complete backups, one being a "clone," the other being a Time Machine backup. Use of two different methods gives you options should something go wrong. Then erase the original disk and install Mountain Lion, and on the first boot up run Setup Assistant (which is better than Migration Assistant) and transfer over EVERYTHING, including user accounts, settings, applications. I have also used this approach, also successfully.
You did neither (1) nor (2), but seem to have done some sort of hybrid by transfering applications and then manually moving over some mail files and moving over some user files. I don't think this is a recommended approach. It can result in permissions issues, which can cause things to "disappear" or otherwise behavior oddly.
I do not understand how your use of a RAID setup and a RAID card might affect any procedures which otherwise might work smoothly. Are you 100% certain that your RAID hardware and firmware are compatible with Mountain Lion?
Assuming that the RAID is not the issue and it behaves to the OS just like a normal disk, I would try the full disk erase and install of Mountain Lion followed by a Setup Assistant on first boot up to move over everything from your clone backup.
If this does not work, then I would erase and restore back from your clone, so you get your 10.6.8 system working again. Then I would try a simple upgrade install of Mountain Lion.
If that fails, then I would erase and install Mountain Lion with one new administrative user created who has a different user name than the person whose stuff you need to restore. Then with that new administrative user I would make sure the RAID is all up and running. Then I would use Migration Assistant to migrate over users only and would reinstall all software from scratch. If that is not to your liking, I'd as a less desirable alternative use Migration Assistant to migrate over everything, applications and users. You will have that new, extra administrative user as well as the original user(s), but that should cause no harm.

Issue after 11g upgarde.

after upgarding to 11g the code piece did not work for some of the records -
forall bulk_index in v_blockBegin..v_blockEnd
save exceptions
insert into ofr_pop_stng( FILE_NM,
OFR_ID,
ACSIN_NB,
FILE_DTL_ID,
ACCT_REF_NB,
LAST_ACSIN_IN,
OPT_FILE_DTL_ID)
select g_DataFileName,
g_offerId,
g_validRecords(bulk_index),
g_fileDetailId,
g_arn_c(bulk_index),
'Y',
g_OPTfileDetailId
from dual
where not exists( select /*+ index(ofr_pop pk_ofr_pop) */
null
from ofr_pop
where ofr_id = g_offerId
and acsin_nb = g_validRecords(bulk_index)
union all
select /*+ index(ofr_pop_stng ofr_pop_stng_idx) */
null
from ofr_pop_stng
where ofr_id = g_offerId
and acsin_nb = g_validRecords(bulk_index));
two issues were found - 1. even though conditions have been identified to make sure if record already exists in ofr_pop and ofr_pop_stng table than should not insrted again
2. Some if the records even though are present in collections did not insert in staging table.
This is really weierd and annoying. A Hight priority ticket has been opened and prod rollback to 10g in progress.

This leads me to believe that your production environment differs from UAT/Dev environments in some way, that is causing this issue (assuming it is a valid issue) to show up consistently in prod and not in other environments. Can you determine what that difference is ?
When the issue showed up in your Dev/UAT environments, what did you do ? Open an SR ? If so, what was the resolution ? If not, why not ?

Hi All,
I have a strange issue with schedule WEBI reports, a schedule report runs for Hours , i reschedule it again by deleting the instance and the schedule report never got succeed even after running for hours.
Any idea???

Hi Manoj,
1. Try to put some filters in the report and then run the report. if it takes less time, then probably your query is fetching very large data.
2. MDX query error may be the reason , this error come when a query runs endless, please try running the query 2-3 times, or when load on server is less.
Hope this will help,

Files transferred to external HD end up in trash - very strange issue

Hi,
I seem to be having a very strange issue, hopefully somebody can help or has seen this before.
Hardware: MacBook Air, Western Digital Passport external HD, 250gb, formatted NTFS.
Software: OSX 10.7 Lion, Paragon (allows me to write to an NTFS formatted HD)
Issue Summary: I copy something to the external HD; I empty trash; the file I copied is deleted from the external HD. It doesn't happen every time.
I do also seem to have a persistent folder in trash called "WD Sync Data" that won't go away unless I re-delete it as it's also in the root of the drive. Not sure if this is related somehow.
Recently I copied 3 video files inside a folder to the HD, then disconnected the HD. When I reconnected it a while later and noticed that inside the "WD Sync Data" folder in trash were the 3 files I'd copied. I then looked inside the same folder on the root of the drive and the files were there, instead of inside the folder that I'd copied to the drive, which had vanished. If I hadn't noticed and had emptied the trash, those files would've been deleted.
It's definitely happened more than once; last time I actually deleted the files from my computer after copying, then emptied trash, and they were gone from the external HD also.
I've only found one person who seemed to be experiencing a similar problem back in 2010. It sounds similar though it could've been user error: http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/apple-notebooks/188224-weird-external-hard-driv e-trash-problem-help-please.html
Has anyone experienced this or have any suggestions?

Quick update: I ran a verify then a repair in Disk Utility as there were a couple of errors. Hopefully this has solved the issue, however it'd still be interesting to know if anyone's come across this before and what caused it?

ABAP coding issues after BW upgrade

Hello Gurus,
We recently did a BW upgrade from version 3.5 to 7.31 and even since have been encountering few strange issues with many of our ABAP coding.
For example, there is an APPEND statement in one of our Update Rules as below:
APPEND <lw_rtab_wa> TO <lt_rtab>.
Before upgrade, this was working as expected and the contents of <lw_rtab_wa> was getting transferred to <lt_rtab> without any issues.
Now after upgrade, we find that the contents of <lw_rtab_wa> is being clubbed together in the 1st few columns of <lt_rtab>.
Both the <lw_rtab_wa> & <lt_rtab> have the same fields, but the length of few fields in <lt_rtab> is bigger than that in <lw_rtab_wa>. For example DOC_NUMBER in <lw_rtab_wa> is of type C(10) while in <lt_rtab> it is C(20). This difference is causing the data of the 2nd field also to be over-writen in the DOC_NUMBER field of <lt_rtab>.
Please let us know if you have encountered similar situations after your BW upgrade. Any possible solutions to this would be very much appreciated as this is causing PROD issues at the moment!
Thanks
Arvind

Hi Arvind,
After Upgrade In BW 7.3 or higher versions All data elements that use the domain RSCHAVL are converted from CHAR60 to SSTRING. thats the reason you are getting that syntax error.
Take help of some ABAP programmer and try to change the syntax as suggested from below link.
Just scroll down and check the same. even though link shows for BW 7.4 issues, its applicable for 7.3 too. Please let me know
