H67MA-E35 (B3) - Freeze during every other boot with USB IR receiver plugged in.

Hi, I have an HTPC with an MSI H67MA-E35 (B3) motherboard. I also have a Hama VRC-1100 remote (Microsoft Media Center compatible), which has its own USB infrared receiver. When it's plugged in and I turn on the PC, it won't boot. It gets to the Windows boot screen and freezes before the logo itself starts to form. I have to do a hard reset, then it boots fine. If I reboot the PC, I get the same problem and have to hard reset again.
The IR receiver has the latest drivers and I've tried plugging it into different ports to no avail. I've also tried changing the BIOS settings to resume using OS instead of the BIOS, but then the remote cannot wake the PC up.

Apologies, the MSI Live Update tool says I have an MS-7680 motherboard with a B.90 BIOS. A scan for updates shows no new BIOS versions. Here are the rest of my specs:
Intel Celeron G530 (Sandy Bridge S1155)

4 GB of Kingston DDR3 1333 MHz RAM (2 sticks, running at 1066 MHz)

Airport extreme will not boot with USB hard disk plugged in.

Hi there,
I'm using the Airport Extreme Base Station, and I find that if I have a USB hard disk plugged into it, it will not boot up, it only hang-ups with an amber light, and stays there indefinitely. It's not a terrible issue because it can be overcome by unplugging the disk then rebooting, but it's irritating, especially when I'm not home and there is a power temporary outage and my wife can no longer access the internet or I can no longer access my disks over the internet.
Is there a solution to this problem?
Thanks,
Marc

I'm going to have to replace the unit, as I'm unable to turn off DHCP services, which is wreaking havoc on my server based environment.
Considering THIS issue *AND* the major DHCP show stopper, frankly, I'm debating etiher the fire pit or tossing the damned thing into the intersection and watching it be reduced to the trash that it is.
Either way, there'll be 7 feet of pack ice in **** before I buy another Apple networking product.
I'll decide later, with a jaundiced eye, regarding our XServe unit. Might reformat it to Linux...

T440p exactly once per two power ups cannot boot with USB mouse receiver insterted.

With inserted nano Logitech mouse receiver my Lenovo cannot boot once per two power ups.
Let say that I power off laptop. Power on, it just powers down itself after 3-4 seconds. I power up it again and everything is OK. It allways behave the same way: NOTOK >> OK.

evdev is a generic input driver (you can use it for both your mouse and keyboard). If you do not know what the evdev driver is, you most likely are using the xf86-input-mouse driver.
To be sure you can use a
pacman -Q | grep xf86-input
from the command line and see which one comes up. Try switching to the other (you need to install it first of course). This gentoo wiki page may help you a bit how to configure your xorg.conf for an evdev driver: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Advanced_M … d_USB_Mice (note that you do not need most parts that are written there)
Does this solve your problem? If not, try using the vesa video driver temporarily to see if the problem is with your video card driver.
engywook wrote:Do I need to do something with pacman to get all the packages at the mirror? all I've really done so far is pacman -Sy or -Su whatever updates it.
No normally that should work. You don't get any results when doing
pacman -Ss pidgin
If so try to use another mirror and see if that helps.

K7N2 Delta2 Does not Post Every Other Boot

I have built a PC with a K7N2 Delta2-LSR mb and it fails to post on every other boot. When it does post, everything works fine. It makes no difference whether the boot is warm or cold, and it does not vary in frequency (it is always every other boot).
Any ideas?

Touchpad Cannot Start Code 10 Every Other boot

Model: 3000 N100 768 A49
Symptoms: The touchpad device is unable to start code 10. Every other boot when runnign Windows 7 Beta and RC
Other associated symptom when this occurs is that the display resolution gets set to 640*480. Only resolution is to reboot.
This happens on a CLEAN INSTALL of both Beta and RC.
The mouse works perfectly thorough the installation process and initial boot.

On futher inspection I find that most drivers fail to load when this happens and there is a kernel-pnp warning in the logs for every driver that fails to load. I believe that it may be caused by an IRQ/APIC problem. If this is the case we may need a bios upgrade to support windows 7 on the N100. Which i dont think will happen considering lenovo has no vested interest in supporting consumer grade notebooks.
Is there anyone at lenovo I can contact to try and help resolve this? I have not received a single reply.
This problem is not common at all. I have only found one other similar thread and the notebook was an hp notebook.
Again the weird thing is that it happens every other boot.
When the computer is off i turn it on and drivers fail to load. Then i turn it off then back on and everything works fine.
However this does not happen with Vista.
If anyone is interested I can post the logs.

Network fails every other boot [SOLVED]

I seem to have a small prob when I startup my pc the network fails every other time. I had some probs w/ dhcp starting when I used gentoo, and found a workaround, putting "dhcpcd -k" in etc/conf.d/local.stop ran the dhcpcd -k command when I shutdown my pc, apparently arch's syntax is a bit different so I doubt etc/conf.d/local.stop exists, I tried /etc/rc.local.shutdown, but that didn't seem to do it either. Could someone please tell me the arch way to enter this command every shutdown?

Will "dhcpcd -k" fix it?
Check this: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ude … _Each_Boot
Thanks.
Altough I find it quite weird they switch like that.
"Because udev loads all modules at once, devices are sometimes initialized in a different order. For example, with two network cards, you may notice they switch designations between eth0 and eth1"
Yeah, I don't buy it. They switched every boot.
I'm trying the udev-sanctified method. Will find out in a day or so (when I (re)boot).

Neo 2 Platinum freezes while booting with USB HDD attached

This system freezes when a powered-on USB HDD is connected. I realize that the system is trying to boot off the USB device and have disabled all of the USB boot options in the BIOS. However, DISABLE USB HDD is not one of them! Is their any BIOS or other fix available for the problem?
Moe

After bios update , clear cmos with jumper onboard .
After that you must enter cmos setup and "Load optimized defaults" followed by save+exit
Sounds to me bios if looking for MBR on attached USB HDD ( didn't do this on my Neo2 with 1.C bios and external USB attached)
Set the normal boot order to
Floppy
Cdrom
HDD
Boot other devices :Disabled
(other boot order can mock things up)
Find "USB KB/Storage support" set to:Enable
Save+Exit
Boot with USB HDD attached and enter the submenu of "Harddisk boot priority" in cmos setup and all recognized HDD's
wether they are IDE/SATA/USB shall be listed , move your OS HDD witch host bootfiles/mbr to top with PGUP key and save+exit .

Process chain to run every other Thursday (with exception of 53rd week)

Hello Friends,
I am trying to find a way to set up my Process chain to run every other Thursday (with exception of 53rd week).
I am hoping that I can perform this via Decision variant.
Any advice would be very much helpful.
Regards,
Vinoth V

Hello Shankar,
Thank You for the valuable comment. So you mean I would need to create a decision variant as shown below?
DATE_WEEKDAY1( Current Date ) = 4 for running this every Thursday and DATE_TO_WEEK formula to meet the requirement of restricting the chain not to run on 53rd week?
How can I make the chain to run on alternate Thursdays?
Kindly advice.
Regards,
Vinoth V

Why can i send imessages to every other person with an iPhone but not one person

I can send an imesage message to every other person with an iphone, but not my uncle, who has an iphone 4s. We are both connected to wifi while texting and yet the message still shows up as green. PLEASE HELP

Get him to check he's got iMessage enabled.
Settings->Messages->iMessage needs to be 'ON'.
Also in the same screen check what addresses he has under "Send & Receive" to ensure you're using one of those (or his phone number).

When i try to boot i freezes at the detecting usb devices when i have a usb device connected. It does with any usb device. But when i boot up without any usb devices connected then i boot fine and i can connect the devices right after the detection of usb devices. How can that be?

Googled on "computer not booting with usb code 6b38" and found this:
Quote
****SLOW BOOT-UP in POST SCREEN****
P.S. If you see the BIOS code 6B38 in the bottom right corner of the screen, this is a indication that USB Legancy support is enabled in the BIOS. If this is enabled and you have any usb devices attached such as a external USB Hard drive, your system will take ages to go through the POST boot screens.
So disable this setting in the BIOS and the system will then boot in a matter of Seconds
From:
http://www.rebelshavenforum.com/sis-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=30;t=000250
Also try and see if a clear CMOS will help, some people suggested that from a old post from MSI forum here, saying its bios 1.3 thats bugged.
So if disabling doesnt work, perhaps down/upgrading BIOS might.

MSi Dragon Editon 2 problems booting with usb mice

Hi to all people. I have a problem with my laptop. If i update my BIOS with versions newer tan E1763IMS.50V the laptop doesn´t boot with usb mice connected. I think i answer this in the past but with not solution and now i ask again thinking some people have a solution now.I have checked with differents EC versions and BIOS E1763IMS.50V and with all versions works fine. If i update the BIOS E1763IMS.50V with other newer BIOS the problem appears. When the pc is started and Windows 8.1 is charged i can connect the mouse and works fine too. I have checked with various mices and with all the problem appears. The only BIOS that works fine is E1763IMS.50V.
Thanks a lot for your help

I borrowed a GT70, plugged my SteelSeries Rival optical mouse and flashed with the same 50V version to the laptop. It boots & works normally.
And then I flashed to 518 version. It still boots & works normally.
So maybe your problem is not on the mouse?
Did it boot up if unplugging the mouse?

Choose Startup Repair from the System Recovery Options menu.
If that doesn't do the trick, go back to the System Recovery Options menu and do a System Restore.
If that doesn't fix things either, go back to the System Recovery Options menu and follow the directions here,

Mac book pro doesn't wake up every other time with external monitor

It is related to 'Put display to sleep' as I managed to find out. When you have 'put display to sleep' turned on, every other time screen doest turn back on, nor external nor internal, sometimes internal lits up and there is just blue screen, not desktop. You can't do anything except turning notebook off. No mouse, no keyboard, nothing, there is no mouse pointer either. I didn't experiment without external monitor, though, maybe it hangs up too.
This thing did cost me $2800. Can it atleast work as it supposed too?
I set it to 'never sleep', 'never sleep display', but frankly, it *****. When I need to go out, I just turn monitor off.
Is apple doing anything to resolve that issue? Do they read these forums?

E9280t can't boot with USB 3.0 cards (multiple vendors tried) New e9280t BIOS version needed

Hello...
I purchased a new e9280t last year from the HP Website complete with 9 gb memory (now 16), Blu-ray/DVD writer & reader, Hauppauge Digital TV tuner, ATI Radeon 4850 Dual Monitor video card, etc... SInce then I've added more memory and a 3 port Firewire 400/800 card. Its running Win 7 Pro (sp1) and the BIOS is v5.29.
I purchased a external USB 3.0 WD drive (3 TB) and a StarTech USB 3.0 card (Amazon.com). After installing the USB 3.0 card, the system would power on for one second and die and then do it again a couple seconds later and the cycle continued until the power cord was pulled. I then pulled the USB 2.0 card and tried again only to have the same results. The only cards that remained in the system during the testing was the ATI card and the Hauppuage TV Card.
Thinking the problem was with the USB 3.0 card, I purchased another vendor's (Rocketfish from BestBuy) and installed it. The same problem as with the other USB 3.0 card, the system won't start.
No driver software or any other changes were made to the system before installation attempts (per vendor's installation instructions).
Since the failures all occur during the initial power up sequence and that the cards were tried with and without having power connected to them, that the problem is only correctable with a BIOS upgrade for the TRUCKEE motherboard. I could be wrong but I'm going on 30 years of hardware experience as my framework for that opinion.
If anyone else has this same problem, It would be good to rally around and see if HP notices us.
Thanks,
Norm
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Greetings,
I have tried multiple vendors and have yet to find a USB 3 card that will allow the computer to boot (for more than a 1/10th of a second).
I've tried removing every card in the system except the the display card and no go. Two of the cards removed had power connectors to them and the third did not. So even after removing those cards along with disconnecting one of the two internal hard drives, I'm certain its not a power issue. As to what it might be, I don't know.
If anyone else has been able to get a USB 3 card to work in that system, I'd love to hear from you.
Thanks,
Norm
