H87M-G43 and automatic boot issues

I have an H87M-G43 and for 4 weeks have been struggling to get a new clean Windows 8.1 UEFI build on the PC without odd automatic boot issues.
Here is the PC configuration:
CPU Intel Core i5-4440 3.1GHz
PSU Corsair CX430

09. Resume From S3/S4/S5 by USB Device: Enabled
10. GO2BIOS: Enabled

Windows 8.1 UEFI installation
Install Windows Update:
1. Important Updates
2. Recommended Updates
3. Optional Updates
Install MSI Drivers/Software:
01. Intel Chipset Driver 9.4.0.1026
02. Intel SVGA Driver 10.18.10.3412
03. Realtek PCIE Network Drivers 8.23.11.26.2013

08. Intel SBA 2.2.39.7991
09. Intel Smart Connect Technology 4.2.40.2418
10. Super Charger 1.2.020
I have not configured any of the Intel Management and Security, Small Business Advantage, Smart Connect software, just installed them.
The issues I get are:
1. JUSB1 connected and Resume From S3/S4/S5 by USB Device: Enabled in BIOS. When I shutdown the PC, it automatically boots 2-3 seconds later. If I set Resume From S3/S4/S5 by USB Device: Disabled or disconnect the JUSB1, the PC shutdown is fine.
2. Once the PC is shutdown OK, PC boots itself several hours later. Yesterday at 15:50pm PC was shutdown. At 21:18pm, PC automatically booted itself.
This is my first MSI and UEFI motherboard. What I would like is some advice on setting up the BIOS and the software to get sleep/hibernate working and no automatic boots.
I have contacted MSI regarding these issues, but they say they cannot reproduce them. I have subsequently googled these issues and of course, other MSI users are experiencing similar problems, but there are no obvious resolutions. Please can anyone help/advise?

Hi,
I have the MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming mobo and perhaps similar problem as discussed in this thread.
I wanted to be able to wake my PC from sleep mode via my USB connected mouse and keyboard. Therefore I went into BIOS and set the "Resume from S3/S4/S5 by USB Device" to "Enabled". And yes, now it is possible to wake my PC from sleep mode by just clicking any button on my keyboard or just moving my mouse a little bit. So far so good. BUT, another feature was also added which I did not want to have: By just clicking any button on my keyboard or moving my mouse a little bit the PC also started after I have "shut it down"! This could seem as the PC boot by itself but it does not, I have to move the mouse just a little bit (by accident for example when needing more space on my desk) or clicking a button on the keyboard. I THINK THE ROOT CAUSE TO THIS PROBLEM IS AS FOLLOWS: In BIOS, it says "Resume from S3/S4/S5 by USB Device". Instead it should only be "Resume from S3 by USB Device". S3 is the same as "Sleep" and S5 is the same as "Soft off" = PC shutdown. Do you understand what I mean? When I shut down my PC it is put into state “S5”. (NOTE: I have another PC with MSI Z77-GD65 and here it only says "Resume from S3 by USB Device" and no problem with any starting of that PC via USB device from a shutdown state, it only starts from the sleep state (=”S3”) as I want. How do I get rid of the "S5" state in BIOS for this USB wake up feature? (Btw "S4" is hibernate state which is not the same as a shutdown PC, therefore not causing this problem.)
ADDED No. 1: Please read msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa373229(v=vs.85).aspx for explanation of the different system Power states I mention above.
ADDED No. 2: My Click BIOS version is 1.8 for Z87-GD65 with release date 2013-12-06. On a Youtube video I have seen that version 1.0 of this BIOS has Wake up "Resume from S3 by USB Device" and not ...S3/S4/S5...

No.
It is difficult to identify where the problem is then
Quote from: mville
... and to make matters worse, during extensive testing of this Wake on LAN issue, I set:
Wake Up Event By: [OS]
Resume From S3 by USB Device [Enabled]
and my USB keyboard is also unable to wake from S3/Sleep. When Wake Up Event By: [BIOS] is set, the USB keyboard is able to wake from S3/S4/S5.
Well mine does not wake up by keyboard, which is what I want, I need to see if keyboard with power key will work.
Quote from: mville
Last week, I submitted a support ticket with MSI, who responded with a basic set of wake on LAN instruction. I explained that, although I have followed the instructions, it still does not work. MSI have now gone silent on me.
I had somewhat similar experience with ASUS, but they just kept repeasting themselves, seems like language barrier or they just pretending.

[SOLVED] systemd 207, lvm2 and luks booting issue

Hi
i'm using an encrypted lvm (luks) on my notebook.
/boot on /dev/sda1
lvm on /dev/sda2
main-root
main-home
main-swap
since the systemd 207 upgrade i am unable to boot my system.
this error appears at startup:
A start job is running for dev-mapper-main\x2droot.device
so i'm guessing that systemd is unable to use the encrypted lvm2, since this error is aknowledged on the
after checking some threads i tried:
mkinitcpio -p linux
but there was no effect.
HOOKS="base systemd autodetect block keymap encrypt lvm2 filesystems fsck vbox
some people tried suggesting downgrading to systemd 204 but i dont have any pkg file and building with abs leads to the following error
while makepkg -s:
==> Starting prepare()...
patching file src/core/swap.c
Hunk #1 FAILED at 220.
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file src/core/swap.c.rej
==> ERROR: A failure occured in prepare().
Aborting...
am i supposed to remove the patches from the build? i'm not really sure and more of a beginner in this area.
Can anyone help me solve either the build or the boot issue ?
i should mention that i am only able to access my system by using chroot from an arch boot stick.
Thank you so much.
Kind Regards

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mk … mmon_hooks
systemd: This will install a basic systemd setup in your initramfs, and is meant to replace the 'base', 'usr', 'udev' and 'timestamp' hooks. Other hooks (like encryption) would need to be ported, and may not work as intended. As of systemd 207, this hook does not work as intended when combined with lvm2 and may break your boot. You also may wish to still include the 'base' hook (before this hook) to ensure that a rescue shell exists on your initramfs.
Have you tried keeping udev instead of replacing it with systemd hook?
Have you tried https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … ck_Machine ? It has systemd 204.

Touchpad and CD-Boot issues since 10.5.6

Hello *,
since I updated to 10.5.6. I am having strange problems. I have to deactivate the touch pad, otherwise, when I use it, the left mouse button functionality *also of the USB or MightiMouse* is not working anymore. Second problem: no boot from CD via pressing and holding c or d anymore. I can hold option and select the boot device, but I can not run e.g. the hardware test tool from the original installation cd and I also can not reinstall firmware - cd will be ejected. The problem was even worser, but after all kinds of troubleshooting - this is the current status. I reset PRAM and SMC several times, I reinstalled 10.5.6 combo update 2 times. I reinstalled from Leopard CD, I installed from TimeMachine Backup. I assume that something is wrong with my firmware / EFI since the update but there is no possibility to fail back or reinstall, because I can not boot from cd with c or for firmware upgrade via holding down power button. I have no idea what else I could try. Any tips?

I checked already, and there is no cable problem. The prove for this is also that it works for a short time under certain conditions. Then it looks like touchpad starts to send endless left-clicks, which blocks other left-clicks. Disabling the touch pad let me use my mighty mouse, which is also bad, because I usually never use it with my MacBook. If you disable it in system preferences, using your keyboard (which is a pain when you are not used to it - also check if keyboard-mouse is enabled) - you should be able to use a external mouse device. I read somewhere that booting into hardware-test tool can solve the problem. Unfortunately I'm not able to try this, because boot with 'd' or 'c' does not work (fortunately booting with alt and choosing the boot device works, but this does not allow you to start hardware-test.) It would be good to know if there is another possibility to start hardware-test or even better - to flash EFI. Even this does not work (holding down powerbutton during start up with inserted EFI-CD) - the CD will be ejected without any effect. Very strange...
BTW: I searched the web about this issue too, and I saw many other people having similiar problem with all kind of Macs with booting from cd, or problem with left mouse - even in this forum. Does not look like a pure MacBook problem for me...

Thanx in advance for any and all help i am, hopefully about to receive. i read quite a few of previous threads and didnt find one with my issue.
HERE GOES...
this entire system was running with a different brand mobo (just upgraded to this msi-7125) and was running great!!
however when i installed windows xp media center edition 2005, things where working great. that is until i installed the nforce system drivers from the disk that MSI provided me. once i installed the ethernet driver,ide-sw driver, network controller the ask me for a reboot after install was done, when the system restarted i got all the way the windows xp splash screen or loading screen. at that point windows stops loading stays on the loading screen for about 10 minutes, then the computer shuts off.
i have tried running memtest and had no errors, im positive that my psu is capable of handling my components.
i'm really stuck on this one, any help would great thanx again!!!

You should be able to get into Windows through safe mode. From here uninstall the drivers and restart. You should hopefully be able to get into Windows normally now. Get hold of the latest drivers from the Nvidia web site and try them.
Also check both Ethernet controllers are enabled in the BIOS.

Automatic Goods Issue

Hi,
I am working with point-of-sale scenario. when I am trying to work with sales order ,my requirement is automatic delivery and automatic goods issue and automatic billing. for this I have configured immediate delivery , but wanted to know any user exit or enhancement for automatic Goods issue and immediate billing.? throw some light on this issue as I can go further from where I am.
Thanks.
Kanna.

Hi Chandrasekhar,
Thats right. But I am working on standard SAP , and I just want to get through with that scenario. As u said , there is no need for Goods Issue when we are working with Order related billing , since the customer picks the goods by himself in super-market sale. But In this case, it is different as we have to do picking by the cashier (just as a regular purpose) , If its like this ...how to approach ? should we go for user exit (if yes , which exit I have to take?) ? or any other way , suggest me.
Thanks,
Kanna.

Windows 8 Laptop Boot Issue (and other related problems)

My Toshiba Satellite S855D-S5148 laptop was bought about a month ago, but it's been giving me issues for the last week.
The most significant one was a boot issue, where out of nowhere, the PC would not start, and after a hard restart, I received an error message saying Windows was not able to start. So I called tech support and they guided me through a PC refresh. That seemed to have solved the issue until twenty minutes later, when my system froze and I could not move the cursor let alone use any applications. So I did a hard restart again, and tried to do another PC refresh until the laptop 'clicked' and shut off. I restarted again, and my system seemed to be working normally until two days later (I did not shut it off or restarted it during this period, only kept it in hibernate when not in use).
Upon trying to use my laptop, it said Windows was reconfiguring. Afterwards, I received an error message saying that Windows had to restart due to 'this problem,' though the problem was not specified. The error message included a list of file addresses that presumably contained a description of the problem, but I can't access the files because they don't show up when I search their addresses. They are .dmp and .xml files, respectively.
Is anyone familiar with this problem? I wish I could return the laptop but it's a couple of weeks shy of the return period (Staples has a measely 14-day return period, but I didn't think I'd have to use it). I don't want to go through the hassle of shipping it off to Toshiba for repairs. Would reformatting the laptop solve the problem? I wish I could attach the .dmp and .xml files to this post but I can't locate them. I'd try using the recovery disks, but they were recently destroyed in a flood.
Any comments, advice, and/or suggestions are very much welcome!

Happy to learn the hardware is fixed.
I was told they could not do so without the product key. ... Any ideas as to how I can get my product key?
Everybody should know by now that there is no product key for preinstalled Windows. The OEM has it locked into the motherboard.
As I've said over and over, recovery media will restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents. Windows will be activated.
Windows is not installed during this process. Everything on the hard drive is restored. It's an important distinction.

OSX 10.6 .8 -- Firefox automatically starts when I boot up (MacBook Pro Intel). It is not in the Startup Items in System Preferences, and automatic startup is not checked in Firefox Options. Don't know where else to look.

How do I keep Firefox automatically starts when I boot up (OSX 10.6 .8 -- MacBook Pro Intel). It is not in the Startup Items in System Preferences, and automatic startup is not checked in Firefox Options.

Hi fullrun-
Once Firefox is open, you should be able to open the Right click context menu on the icon. From there you select 'Options' and then de-select 'Open at Login'. Hope that helps.

Macbook Air late 2008 boot and sleep/wake issues

First off I have a booting issue. When I press the power button when it's off, the little front light comes on for a second, I hear the little non solid state hard drive spin up, then the little front light turns on again, but nothing else happens. The computer is definitely on since I can hear the fan, and it gets pretty hot after a while. Sometimes I'll get the startup sound and everything will be fine after a very long wait, like ~15 minutes. Second I have a wake from sleep issue that I can't predict. Every once in a while, I'll try to wake the computer and the screen just stays blank, not doing anything. The light in the front stops pulsing and just stays solid, but the screen doesn't turn on. I've noticed that sometimes I can predict when these things will happen since before I shut it down or put it to sleep, the battery will be X'd out, saying I have no battery connected, even when I'm not connected to a power source. I've already tried resetting the power management and resetting the PRAM. This is a very annoying issue and makes the computer very unreliable. Has anyone had similar issues or has been able to come to a solution?

Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard 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. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
If the hard drive does not appear in the DU sidebar list then it has died and will have to be replaced. No need to proceed beyond this point.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

Automatic Goods Issue after Outbound delivery and shipment.

Hi,
I am working on LES part.
Could you please explain me how to do Automatic post goods issue for shipments.
(in our scenario where after outbound delivery, picking, packing shipment takes place.)
Can we use VL23 for automatic goods issue for shipments? (or igoods issue is only for outbound deliveries?)
If so what is the selection criteria for background scheduling-Variants?
Please explain me in detail
Thanks a lot.

Anil,
Not sure if I understand your question, Goods Issue is posted for the delivery and not the shipment. In a shipment you can update the actual values for Planned, Check-In, Load Start, Load End etc values. A shipment can have single/multiple deliveries, you can use VL23 for scheduling a background job to do the PGI automatically, use either the standard variants or define your own variant and use that variant to schedule the job.

I have an iphone 4. Recently I have issues with certain apps closing immediately once they are open. ie Email. Tried re-booting entire thing and still having issues. Any one else having this issue or a fix for it?

Delete background Apps from memory and then Reset.
To Delete background Apps, double click Home button, in the bar at bottom, hold down on an App Icon until the minus sign appears, tap all the minus signs, until all background Apps are cleared from memory. Then Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to restart itself, ignor the 'slide to power off' let the iPhone restart itself. Usually takes about 10 seconds of holding both buttons.

Boot issue: K8N Neo2 and MSI DR16-B!

I found my problem, as my board didn't boot normally anymore.
I forgot that I flashed the newest firmware to my new DR16, unplugging it solved my boot issue.
Could someone help me out how to solve this? Can I get my old firmware back somehow?
I liked this recorder somehow, was nice and silent. But: I'd rather keep the board than this recorder...

Well yes
I wanted to upgrade the recorder anyhow, so that wasn't the really big problem.
As I couldn't find the problem with my machine, I exchanged the board first. The new one has a better power regulation, also my dealer exchanged it right away. No big deal also.
But: As I found the board wasn't responsible, I exchanged my working PSU for the OCZ, which cost me ~150$... I could have saved that money...

X220 resume from sleep and boot issues

This is driving me crazy! I have an X220 with Windows 8 and UEFI boot installed.
It all started when I first installed Windows 8 a few months ago which required me to update my BIOS to the latest version. The installation process often got stuck when booting from the Installation CD (the round circle stopped spinning, the display was at full brightness). Eventually I managed to boot into the Installer (when the boot logo doesn't get stuck, the display is then dimmed to minimum).
I was quite happy to have a superfast lightweight OS which booted in an instant.. When suddenly it started to get stuck when booting (same issue with the boot logo not spinning anymore). This happens quite randomly, but I often manage to boot (maybe 2-3 times a week, I don't boot often though..). Now, the booting hangs are less of an issue for me but more often that that it fails to resume from sleep. The LEDs flash and then it instantly drops to sleep mode again (well at least the sleep/moon LED is active). This happens quite often as I sleep/resume up to 5-10 times a day (changing lecture rooms, meeting rooms, save battery when the lectures are boring, ...)
Now after researching and spending hours in debugging this issue, it seems that I'm not the only one having this (or a similar) issue, but often without any definitive solution being specified.
This is what I have already tried:
* Upgrade BIOS and SSD firmware to latest
* Install/update latest drivers
* Mess around with BIOS options
** UEFI/Legacy First options
** Intel Virtualization/vt-d
** Others..
I know based on other threads that I'm not the only one experiencing exactly these issues. Has anyone managed to fix this?
Thank's in advance
Fabio Scala

I had a similar issue, as soon as a described even a little bit of it to warrenty support they sent someone to swap the board
It seems thats the only fix, its been fine since

Help with update issues and resulting boot problems

Ok so I have arch installed and can get through all the updating except for glibc..I know there are countless post on the subject and I have spent the past two days reading through them. I have also broken my system and have done about 15 re-installs trying to get through this. Also, after I update (excluding glibc) and re-boot I get the root device cannot be found error and am dropped to a shell.
What I am asking is, can someone PLEASE give me a straight forward answer on how to fix this stuff...I'm tired of reading and re-installing.
I'd appreciate any help you can give..

If you're using the most recent iso, the /lib to /usr/lib move has already been taken care of, so none of those countless bbs threads (or the infinitely superior official advice from the devs) apply any more. Please post the exact commands you are using and the exact error messages you are seeing.

The Ultimate Guide to Resolving Profile and Device Manager Issues

The following article also applies to issues after re-setting the severs' hostname. It also applies to situations where re-setting the Code Signing Certifictateas described by Apple has not resolved the issue.
Hello,
I have been plagued with Profile Manager and Device Manager issues since day one.
I would like to share my experience and to suggest a way how to resolve issues such as device cannot be enrolled or Code Signing Certificate not accepted.
I shall try to be as brief as possible, just giving an overview of the steps that resolved my issues. The individual steps have been described elsewhere in this forum. For users who have purchased commercial SSL certs the following may not apply.
In my view many of these issues are caused by missing or faulty certificates. So let us first touch on the very complex matter of certificates.
Certificates come in many flavours such as CA (Certificate Authority), Code Signing Certificate, S/MIME and Server Identification.
(Mountain?) Lion Server creates a so-called Intermediate CA certificate (IntermediateCA_hostname_1") and Server Identification Certificate ("hostname") when it installs first. This is critical for the operation of many server functionalities, including Open Direcory. These certs together with the private/public keys can be found in your Keychain. Profile and Device Manager may need a Code Signing Certificate.
The most straightforward way to resolve the Profile Manaher issues is in my view to reset the server created certicates.
The bad news is that this procedure involves quite a few steps and at least 2 hours of your precious time because it means creating a fresh Direcory Master.
I hope that I have not forgotten to mention an important step. Readers' comments and addenda are welcome.
I shall outline a sensible strategy:
1. Clone your dysfunctional server to an external harddrive (SuperDuper does a reliable job)
2. Start the server fom the clone and shut down ALL services.
3. It may be sensible to set up a root user access.
4. Back-up all user data such as addess book, calendar and other data that you *may* need to set up your server.
5. Open Workgroup Manager and export all user and workgroup accounts to the drive that you using to re-build your server (it may cause problems if you back-up to an external drive).
6. Just in case you may also want to back-up the Profile Manager database and erase user profiles:
In Terminal (this applies to Lion Server - paths may be diferent in Mountain Lion !)
Backup: sudo pg_dump -U _postgres -c device_management > $HOME/device_management.sql
Erase database:
sudo /usr/share/devicemgr/backend/wipeDB.sh
7. Note your Directory (diradmin) password for later if you want to re-use it.
8. Open Open Server Admin and demote OD Master to Standalone Directory.
9. In Terminal delete the old Certificate Authority
sudo rm -R /var/root/Library/Application\ Support/Certificate\ Authority/
This step is crucial because else re-building you OD Master will fail.
9. Go back to Server Admin and promote the Standalone Directory to OD Master. You may want to use the same hostname.
10. When the OD Master is ready click on Overview and check that the LDAP and Keberos Realm reflect your server's hostname.
11. Go back to Workgroup Manager and re-import users and groups.
NOTE: passwords are not being exported. I do not know how to salvage user passwords. (Maybe passwords can be recovered by re-mporting an OD archive - comments welcome! ).
12. Go to Server App and reset passwords and (not to forget) user homefolder locations, in particular if you want to login from a network account!
If the home directory has not been defined you cannot login from a network account.
13. You may now want to restore Profile Manager user profiles in Terminal. Issue the following commands:
sudo serveradmin stop devicemgr
sudo serveradmin start postgres
sudo psql -U _postgres -d device_management -f $HOME/device_management.sql
sudo serveradmin start devicemgr
14. You can now switch back on your services, including Profile Manager.
In Profile Manager you may have to configure Device Management. This creates a correct Code Signng Certicate.
15. Check the certificate settings in Server App -> Hadware -> Settings-> SSL Certificates.
16. Check that Apple Push Notifications are set.(you easily check if they are working later)
17. You may want to re-boot OS Server from the clone now.
18. After re-boot open Server App and check that your server is running well.
19. Delete all profiles in System Preferences -> Profiles.
19. Login to Profile Manager. You should have all users and profiles back. In my experience devices have to be re-enrolled before profiles can be pushed and/or devices be enrolled. You may just as well delete the displayed devices now.
20. Grab one of your (portable) Macs that you want to enrol and go to (yourhostname)/mydevices and install the server's trust profile. The profile's name should read "Trust Profile for...) and underneath in green font "Verified".
21. Re-enrol that device. At this stage keep your finger's crossed and take a deep breath.
22. If the device has been successfully enrolled you may at last want to test if pushing profiles really works. Login to Profile Manager as admin, select the newly enrolled device. Check that Automatic Push is enabled (-> Profile -> General). Create a harmless management profile such as defining the dock's position on the target machine. (Do not forget to click SAVE at the end - this is easily missed here). If all is well Profile Manager will display an active task (sending) and the dock's position on the target will have changed in a few seconds if you are on a LAN (Note: If sending seems to take forever: check on the server machine and/or on your router that the proper ports are open and that incoming data is not intercepted by Little Snitch or similar software).
Note: if you intend to enrol an Apple iPhone you may first need to install the proper Apple Configuration software.
Now enjoy Profile and Device Manager !
