Having lots of trouble installing an OS (A75IA-E53)

I recently got hold of a MSI FM2-A75IA-E53 board, an AMD A8-6600k, some RAM and a new Hard Drive.
It shipped with BIOS 2.2 and I've updated it 2.3 (just because it was annoying me and I wanted to see if it fixed anything).
I've tried all manor of versions of OS - Ubuntu 14.04 x86/x64 Desktop and Server, Debian 7, Windows 10 TP, Windows 7, Windows 8.1.
All of them fail for all sorts of different reasons, IRQL, Faults_In_NON_PAGED_AREA, frequent fails at "Setting up devices" during first boot of Windows. Linux boxes very rarely go past installing the base system, Debian did... but then was constantly moaning about soft crashes and after about 4~ hours would just become totally unresponsive.
I've tried different HDDs and I've tried a different stick of RAM, but always get the same thing and I'm beginning to re-evaluate my enjoyment of computering.
Any ideas? I'm thinking presumably board fault? but to date my experience of boards is that they exist in two states, working perfectly fine, or totally dead.

Hi,
Please tell us a bit more about your system: see >>Posting Guide<<
Also what way did you install all the OS (USB, Disk)? And what way did you update the BIOS? Was it successful(does it say it runs 2.3) ?
Also did you try to >>Clear CMOS<< ?

  • Having LOTS of trouble installing CS2

    I am trying to install Photoshop CS2 on a new computer running Windows 7.  I know it should work because I've installed it successfully on Windows 7 before.  I was told that the registered versions no longer work and that I needed to download the free version.  I downloaded all the files.  When I ran the first one it asked for my serial number.  I put it in.  It said it was invalid.  I checked and rechecked.  I made sure it matched the one on my Adobe account.  It still says it's the wrong serial number.
    Why do I need a serial number anyway if this is free software.
    Anyway, I need HELP.  I've been trying to get this to work for almost two days.  I've had three chat sessions which were very time consuming.  The last person said that CS2 is only suppported now via this forum.
    Help!!

  • Why am I having so much trouble installing Flash Player 17?

    Hello,
    I have installed and updated Flash Player since 1999, but never with so much trouble as with the latest version- 17.
    My pc runs Windows 7 64-bit with Internet Explorer 11. I have tried all the troubleshooting steps listed on the Adobe website with no luck.
    I am logged in as administrator, but when I go to a website the permission message pops up at the bottom of the page, as normal after updating,
    "This webpage wants to run the following add-on; ' Adobe Flash Player' from Adobe Systems Incorporated'.
    Whether I click on Allow or click on the dropdown and click on Allow for all websites, does not matter. It will not work and the permission bar stays up.
    Can somebody please help??
    Thanks,
    Dake

    I'm having lots of trouble finding semi-decent equipment at an affordable price. I would like to start a podcast with two hosts and I have a macbook pro that i purchased in april 2011. any suggestions?

    I should keep it simple - if you start getting involved with mixers and multiple microphones you will find the cost escalating  alarmingly. If you can get yourself a decent microphone and spend some time doing tests to find the best way of balancing the voices you should be able to get acceptable results. You can't plug an ordinary microphone directly into a Mac - you would need a mixer or a preamplifier - so it's probably worth looking at USB mics. I don't know what cost range is available, and you would have to check that they would work with your Mac. Otherwise you will need an ordinary moving-coil mic and probably a USB audio converter which can accept a microphone - look at the Roland site.

  • I am having a LOT of trouble installing eLearning Suite 6.1 (boxed/disc)

    Can anyone assist? First issue is when I run the disc to install the Elearning suite I get an error message saying ... something like ..."have dectected system will restart soon ... ignore? quit?" I quit the first few times and rebooted my computer but it made no difference. so ... I moved on to the "ignore" option. this seemed fine ... installation of the progs looked ok ... BUT the 64bit version of Captivate did not installed correctly.... and yes, i am sure i have a 64bit PC.  When i try to launch the 64bit version i get the error message below:
    this is driving me crazy! can anyone help me please?
    cheers,
    C

    Okay, I have SOLVED this problem after many, many hours of googling solutions. YAY!  For those who may experience the same issue, here's the root cause and the steps i followed to fix it.
    The problem stemmed from a program called iLivid I had downloaded onto my PC. If you google iLivid you'll see that it's known to cause many issues so DON'T install it!!! It hates Adobe and causes other computer problems too!
    STEP 1: Firstly I had to uninstall iLivid using the standard windows uninstall steps. This program is notorious for not uninstalling completely so I then ran 2 programs to make sure it was fully removed from my system. For this i used RegClean Pro and CCleaner. I ran these several times, rebooting my PC between each 'cleaning' session.
    STEP 2: After I was pretty sure evil iLivid had been fully removed, I downloaded the two missing .dll files that iLivid had somehow deleted or changed on my system. I found this youtube video with the dll's attached to download The video explains how to fix the 0xc000007b error for Lightroom - but the dll's worked for all my non-functioning 64bit Adobe eLearning progs too (Captivate, Media Encoder, Presenter Video, etc). After I unzipped them, I copied and pasted the two .dll's into each of the prog files that were not working (oddly PS 64bit had not been impacted). On my PC the 64bit progs were installed here C:\Program Files\Adobe - not in the Program (x86) folder.
    After following these steps I rebooted my PC and now - AT LAST! - everything works fine. Whew!
    Hope this helps others who have the same problem

  • Why am I having so much trouble installing the latest version of Flash Player to use in IE?

    I have not had so much trouble updating Flash Player for Internet Explorer since I began in 1998. The plug-in for Google Chrome installed fine.
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling 4 times with no luck. The usual pop-up comes up when I open IE asking? 'This webpage wants to run the following add-on; 'Adobe Flash Player' from Adobe Systems Incorporated'.
    I downloaded from the adobe.com website.
    Can someone please help?
    Windows 7 64-bit
    Internet Explorer 11
    Flash Player 17

    I found this guidance over on the Windows forums.  It seems promising for your scenario:
    Make sure that the necessary add-ons are enabled in Internet Explorer. To do this, follow these steps:
    a. On the Tools menu in Internet Explorer, click Internet Options.
    b. Click the Programs tab, and then click Manage add-ons.
    c. In the Currently loaded add-ons list, click Run without Permissions.
    d. Look for the following add-ons in the list that's displayed. If any of these add-ons are listed, make sure the Status for each is listed as Enabled.
    o Shockwave Active X Control
    o Shockwave Flash Object
    o Java Plug-in (may be multiple add-ons)
    o QuickTime Plug-in (may be multiple add-ons)
    o Windows Media Player

  • ASA having lots of trouble

    Hello,
    I'm kind of new in a company where an ASA is starting to have soo many problems since monday. Everything from telephony to RDP is working incorrectly so it's either pretty slow or not working at all.
    I have been monitoring and searching for solutions but this has led me into thinking it is a bug in the code. So here it is...
    - ASA 5540 Code is 8.2(5)41 Interim Release. This is the first thing that led me to think is a bug.
    - Many underruns and overruns in the interfaces despite CPU usage is in the 15% to 20% mark.
    - Constant CPU hogs of random processes (PIX garbage collector, snmp, ssh_init, Unicorn) that make me believe the reason of the under and overruns.
    - Resources have been used at about 25 to 35 percent of the total (110K of 400K conns aprox).
    - Interfaces are at about 95K Kbps
    What I think....
    1. Bug (It's not easy to propose an upgrade since the only way is going to 8.4 and nat changes,etc)
    2. Host with some ind of virus (CPU would go UP)
    3....... that's it
    Any suggestions???

    If you are, you should check for updates, and still should remove the offending files.
    If you migrated your user files from a previous system, say from a PPC system, these can cause problems.
    Start by running in safe mode, and see if the machine sleeps and wakes as it should.

    Thanks in advance..

    boolean is a primitive, not a class, so it doesn't have a constructor. When you create you boolean array, every element is initialized to a boolean with a value of false.
    If it were an array of objects (that is, references), then every element would be initialized to a reference with a value of null, and you'd need to create objects to assign to each of those references.

  • Having lots of trouble creating a multicam clip with independently recorded audio in sync

    I can't figure out why this isn't working and have tried it many different ways and many times. Here's the situation:
    Video was shot on a Canon 5D Mark III and a Canon 7D (I suspect this may be part of the problem because the 5D has timecode capabilities and the 7D doesn't)
    Primary audio was recorded on a Zoom H4N but each camera recorded audio also and the levels are all fine
    I've tried the following to create the mutlicam clip of the interview with all audio and video in sync:
    Naming the Camera Angle for each clip (Profile and Straight On)
    Selecting all of the relevant video clips
    Seleting all of the relevant audio and video clips
    Synchronizing the video clips with the high quality audio clips (half of which I had to do by hand) and then selecting the sychronized clips to create the multicam clip
    None of this works. In the end a multicam clip is created that is completely out of sync. I'm at a loss and would love any help!
    Thank you.
    Nick

    I saw in a video tutorial (after trying to find solutions to this problem) that one should assign the independent audio to the same camera angle as one of the cameras. After assigning it to its own angle, it did much better but it loses sync about half way through now. Screenshot attached.

  • Having lots or trouble connecting ribbon 1, what's it do?

    I took the back of my daughter iP3 off, and now I
    ve messed it up...At first it wouldn't charge..I fixed that, then the home button didn't work..I fixed that..THEN it would open but all of the colors were messed up..didn't fix that, and now it won't open or show anything on the screen   Ideas??

    Based on your excellent description of what you've done so far, I believe your only option consists of going into an Apple Store and buying an actually working new iPhone.  The one you have "repaired" is toast.

  • Is it possible to reverse the iOS7 upgrade. I'm having lots of trouble on my iPAD 2, especially in audiobus

    The communication between apps in audiobus is out. I'm also experiencing quite often (several times a day) that FB is calling out. I would love to get the former OS back.

    Sorry but Apple does not support downgrading the iOS.
    Other users have had success correcting some issues with their iPad after updating to iOS by resetting all settings and then resetting the iPad.
    To reset all settings use the Settings app.
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    Then reset the iPad like this: Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

    I can't find anything from the apple docs that helps. I've tried a few things, but I can't get 10.3 to load, and I tried to load in 9.0 and it does the sme thing. I get the Prohibitory sign when I reboot.

    TBigdrum:
    I have run Norton Utilities from the disk. I used Norton Utilities to erase the drive. I did use OS X to erase the drive as well. Both drives in fact. Norton was not and is not installed on either of the HDs.
    Even if you run Norton from disk, it can wreak havoc with directories in Mac OS X. You need to format the HDD with Disk Utility. That will remove all trace of Norton and, so long as you don't put that disk back in there, you should be ok after that.

  • ITunes7   Lots of trouble with synchronizing!  Does anyone know what to do?

    I'm having lots of trouble since I installed iTunes7. It takes hours to synchronize my Ipod (40 Gb). The first synchronizing, iTunes7 reinstalled the whole library (7000 songs). After 5 hours, the synchronizing was completed. After playing a few songs on my iPod, I tried out a second synchronizing. iTunes7 synchrionized again all 7000 songs, which would never have happened with iTunes6.0.5. With iTunes6.0.5 it would take a few minutes! By the way, some old bugs are still in iTunes7. For example, sometimes songs bought from iShop are not synchronized to my iPod. iTunes gives a stupid message that the software on my iPod is an old version, which is not true! Yes, my iPod migth be old (3 yrs), but if Apple continious like that, the next mp3-player won't be from Apple

    The issue resolved itself. After synchronizing a few times, things got back to normal!
