Having problems with my new toy!!!

Recently I just go my new motherboard, cpu, and ram.
MSI K7N2G-ILSR
AMD XP 2500+ FSB333
1.0GB Crucial DDR 333 (2x512)
I read the reviews and people love this board. I have been a true ABit and Soyo fan but decided to see what else was out there. Unfortunately I feel that I have made a mistake.
What my problem is, is that when ever I try playing games or listen to music the program craps out and crashes to the desktop. I have tested all of the components that are in conjuction with this motherboard and they test out perfectly fine. I have installed Xp Pro on 3 different hard drives. I flashed the bios to v1.1 knowing very well that v1.1 was already flashed onto the chip. I would have flashed to v1.2 but I get a crc error whenever I try to extract the files from the zip.
I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem and came up with a fix, besides sending the board back?

I'll second the "Crucial Factor". It took two shipments of ram from Crucial to get me a pair of working 256MB PC2700 DDR sticks. I think Micron is getting sloppy with their products... I never had one iota of issues with any ram I've ever gotten from Crucial up until this year.
And it's just not the board - I've also seen it happen in Soyo and Asus.
Grab this utility - it's recommended by Crucial support for finding bad ram...

Is anyone having problems with the new Xerox printer driver update from Apple? My 8700S is no longer working with QuarkXPress.

I allowed a System Update that included a Xerox Printer update. I am running a MacPro 10.6.8 with Quark 8.5.1 and a Xerox ColorQube 8700S. EVERY was working perfectly before the "update" but afterwards anything sent to the printer from Quark would stall the printer. I went to the Xerox website and downloaded their Printer Driver and tried again. Now I could print from Quark but I can NOT get to the printer window to change the type of paper, etc. So, the problem still persists.
Should I try going into Time Machine and trying to find the Xerox Print Driver in the Library folder?
Should I upgrade the whole system software? (I wouldn't mind doing that AFTER I get this magazine off to the commerical printer)
Should I upgrade to Quark 9?
Any help here would be apprciated.
Thanks - Rob

As a general rule of thumb, I never install updates until I read its info and I am having problems with my current software. I hide the updates until I need them. Usually this happens when I update or upgrade my os. I don't fix what ain't broken is my golden rule.
It is possible that you need to update or upgrade Quark in order for your newer printer driver to work. First I would try the following....
Disconnect all peripherals from your computer.
Boot from your install disc & run Repair Disk from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
Select your language.
Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
Select Disk Utility.
Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click First Aid.
Click Repair Disk.
Restart your computer when done.
Repair permissions after you reach the desktop-http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963 and restart your computer.
If your printer does not work afterwards, update or upgrade Quark. If that does not work, contact the printer manufacturer.

Is Anyone Having Problems with the newer version of Firefox?

I still have my older Mac OsXv10.4 Tiger software. I wasn't exactly happy with Safari browser as it would block many sites and were considered incompatible so I downloaded the free Firefox browser (the 2.0 version) of which I STILL have. I'm aware that there is a much newer version and would like to download that, but I've heard a lot of people saying they have been having severe problems with it, but then they have PCs and not Macs.
So my question is for you Mac users that use Firefox, have you had major problems with the newer version? I'm real hesitant to download if I'm going to have the same problem PC users are having...like constantly crashing. Also would my old Tiger software be compatible? I don't want to upgrade to Leopard.

Yes. I had problems with Firefox 3.5. The primary problem was very slow or never-ending loading of certain websites (particularly secure sites and sites with many features). I also have had similar, but not as bad, problems with Safari 4. I never had these problems with Safari 2 or Firefox 2. It just seems that with each update, the problems increased for me. I have read the Safari and Firefox forums and tried many fixes with little improvement. I have come to the conclusion that there is some kind of compatibility problem between the latest versions of Safari and Firefox and Shockwave Flash and/or Javascript and OS 10.4, particularly on PPC Macs. I expect there are many who will disagree and I cannot argue or prove the point. This is just my opinion. And I recognize that my problems could be caused by my setup and not by the browsers. By the way, I do not use any add-ons with any of my browsers. Anyway, I got tired of dealing with it and installed the latest version of Camino about 2 weeks ago. I also did a clean install of Firefox 3.0.13. Camino is working out great for me. It is simple and it works. No problems at all. So currently I am using Camino as my primary browser and Firefox 3.0.13 as my backup. I hope this helps.

Anyone having problem with the new ios4.1??

Have you called your carrier to see if there is a problem in your area? Have you done any of the troubleshooting in the manual? Have you tried a new SIM?

I have a brand computer and I have an ipod nano generation 7. How do you download your music from itunes to your ipod. I did it on the old computer but am having problems with the new computer. Please help. Thanks

Please help. I have a new computer and an ipod nano 7th generation. I am having problems getting my music from Itunes library to my ipod. How do you do it?

Hello Sandy
You can transfer the purchases from your iPhone to your new computer by following the steps in following article.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848
If you have music that was not purchased from the iTunes Store, then you will not be able to move it from the iPhone to your computer. Instead you will need to follow the steps in this article that helps with moving the library from the old to the new.

Having problems with my new iPod touch can you help me a first time user?

I cannot locate my photos in the iTunes library, I have no problem with the Music entry, is there something I have to do to create a library entry?
Also I do not get the photo folders only the individual photos in one large file (3500+) good quality but not good for specific look up, again is there anything I need to do to have folder organization?
I'd appreciate any help that I can get, and would thank any particant in advance

Hi Kappy. I have located the photo files from the sync to my ipod, by the way I am a Windows XP user, and what is showing is a file called 'ipod Photo Cache' which contains folders which have the photo conversions of what is in my 'My Pictures' folder, this cache folder follows at the end of my photo library content.
The cache folder files have an extension of .thumb these are conversions for the ipod and appear to change when I delete or modify any photo in my library and to further complicate things these photos (.JPG format) have an intermediate conversion to a (.cpt format)which are contained within my photo library folders. None of this bothers me since I have my photos on the ipod which is of great value to me.
Thanks for your efforts on my behalf, I will now let this rest and proceed to other new challenges in the ipod world.

Having problems with brand new ASA5505 and ASDM

I have a brand new out of the box ASA5505. I can connect with https://192.168.1.1 and login with blank username/password
From there I get a screen that tells me I can either
- Install ASDM Launcher and run ASDM or
- Install Java Web Start
If I choose the first option, ASDM runs, I put in 192.168.1.1 (and leave the UNAP blank) and it just sits there trying to connect
If I choose option 2, it just loads java.com
I have gone to java.com and installed the Java SE package (32bit and 64bit just in case - I'm on a 64bit Windows OS) which the docs say include Java Web Start, but the router still tells me "Java Web Start is required to run ASDM, but it is not installed on this computer"
I'm stuck, I've been googling for 2 hours. Found people say if ASDM doesn't run it could be a java mismatch and just to use the java web start client. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi
Yes normally you need a smartnetcontract, but atleast in sweden you can talk to your ciscorep to get the newest software during the first 90 days.
And yes updating the Java have in several occations in the past made the ASDM stop working.
Thats the problem with java, it is incompatible with itself so the question must then be why use it to something as important as ASDM and log handeling ?
I am sorry but I have no answer to that.
Good luck

Hello, I'm having problems with my new GX60. Help please...

Hi first I want to congrats MSI for the good quality of their products. That's why I decided to buy a laptop, but here is my experience and my problems also. First I bought my laptop regarding the language problems, because it came with Windows 7 in Chinese, and thankfully to a chinese friend I could buy it.
First, I couldn't find a MSI laptop in my country, and now that I won a scholarship in China i Decided to buy one here...in China!!
And then I decided to go for MSI, and it's quite brand-new GX60-1AC...that is my first problem, I couldn't find the laptop model in the list and I registered my serial with another model that it's not mine....my model is a gaming series, the GX60-1AC, and mistakenly I've chose the GX600 which is an old model...
--So, would you can change it for me please? because I want all the benefits of the warranty and want to extend it, please. Thanks for this priority problem.
And the second problem is that I guess there is a promotion of Windows 8 about this laptops, the Gaming Series laptops. And I want to upgrade my laptop to Windows 8, but I don't know how to do it. Please help me out to do this. I can give you all the information you need. The receipt, original serial and other stuff.
Thanks in advance and keep the good support.
David Romero

Thanks....I've downloaded that program, and it says that the CPU #0 is at 45 degrees....seems to be normal
The Min is at 42 degrees and the Max is at 46 degrees.....
And about the auto fan control, is there a way to modify it? I mean I want that the fan starts to spin at 5 minutes, or when the temperature rises to 60 degrees, as a example....is there a way to do that? because the fan starts to spin every 30 seconds, and the sound is somewhat annoying...is not too loud but you can hear it very clearly.......... so I don't know when and how it has to sound...is there any guide to know when a fan is defective?
I mean probably MSI has some standard about the loudness of the fan...
Also, thanks for the support, if this can help anyone else about something it could be great.
PD. By the way I was reading about the EC resetting, is there any benefit to do that? and how about the battery calibration? I've spent my whole night without sleeping to make it work but in the end Windows 7 decided to sleep because the battery was at a critical level and when I restarted the Battery Calibration program was no responding and it was closed by Windows. >(
Is there a guide of how to do that?
PDD. Also I recently found about fan buzzing? fan whining? it could be possible for a new laptop...I can't distinguish both terms. And I can hear it just right after turning on the laptop and while I use it without playing nor doing anything else more than surfing in the web, like now.
PDDD. Damn! I found that the Techpowerup GPU-Z shows me that the integrated GPU, the 7660G, is at 88 degrees!!! Here is a pic:
Then HWmonitor tells me that it's at 43 degrees!?!!? is there any good and real program to get the real temperatures? Here is the pic from HWmonitor:

I'm having problems with my new Vision:M too. Help Ple

I just received a new Vision M which was purchased from an online retailer. My first disappointment was the absence of a charger that plugs into the wall. All that is provided is the USB cable.
I installed the software on my computer (Windows XP Pro) and connected the Vision M as instructed; and nothing. It's not charging, nothing lights up and it shows no signs of life. I tried various USB cables and ports with no different results.
Have I overlooked anything? Why doesn't this thing start up, or start charging? My next step will be to repeat this process on a different computer.
Please help. I have only 7 days to return this device it turns out to be defecti've.
Thanks in advance.
Hector

ok new zen vision m needs 5+hrs charging to have enough power for your PC to recognise it. a wall charger would help, especially for new zen. in meantime, ensure your PC is having the preferred system requirements using this tool

Having problems with brand new battery installed...Help please!

Here's my problem. I just recently replaced the battery on my 13" Macbook. The brand new battery ordered from Apple arrived on Saturday and up until last night everything was great. Now all of a sudden the computer is doing the same things it did with the old battery. I am getting the green light on the MagSafe Adapter even though the battery is not fully charged. I am also alternating between "Not Charging" on the battery icon and a "X" on the icon.
I did some reading and tried resetting the PRAM and SMC. I even uninstalled Leopard and reinstalled Tiger (updating everything afterwards), thinking maybe it was a software issue. (I just recently installed Leopard and hoped it was just a bad install.) None of that really seems to work.
There is one slight exception- the SMC reset. After I do the SMC reset I get the amber light from the adapter, the icon shows charging and all is well for about 15 to 30 minutes. Then I am back at square one.
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or ideas on what could be going on. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

It seems like you have eliminated all the easy fixes for your problem - what is left is the computer itself. Call Apple (800-275-2273) and explain the troubleshooting you have already done. They should set up a repair for your computer. If it is out of warranty you may have to pay for the repair.
Best of luck.
