Hd6990 is my card faulty?

Hi. One of my hd6990 cards has a problem. I have been using these cards in Xfire fot some time now without a problem but today I noticed in device manager I only have three processors when I should have four. I removed one card and went back to device manager and now I only have one. Removed that card and replaced it with the other one and now I have two processors which is correct. Is the card with only one processor showing faulty?

probably, is this MSI card? have you tested it in another PC?

Is my Airport Extreme Card faulty?

Hi all,
I have an iMac G4, 1Ghz machine. I got it second hand and I have no problems using it, except trying to fathom out if there is something wrong with the mac, or the airport card I have fitted.
I'll try and describe the issue best I can, please bear with me.
The Airport Extreme card is fitted correctly, it is slotted right in and unless I take a hammer to it, it will not go any further. The aerial is also fully fitted, again, it won't go any further.
However, the iMac does not detect the card correctly. If I look in System Profiler, nothing appears under Network/Airport Card. There is no wireless network indicator along the top next to the volume icon etc, and nothing within Network to indicate it is detected either.
But.....
If I look under System Profiler / Hardware / PCI Cards then I discover it. It is listed as Type: Other Network Controller, and crucially, Driver Installed: No. I can supply various ID's as and when required if necessary.
What I am trying to establish is, does this mean there is a fault with the iMac, or with the Airport Extreme card itself? I am looking for some pointers and will gladly check the obvious if required so any hints or tips would be gratefully received. The system is fully updated, and everything else works perfectly.
Thanks for any and all help in advance,
Chris

Hello, and welcome to Apple Support Discussion forum!
You may have to see about getting another AirPort Extreme card
and check that against the results of the first one; and hope the
faulty matter is with the first card and not the iMac G4 itself.
Sometimes, when an AirPort card is not physically present in a
Mac, and was not there during the OS installation, some of the
drivers may not have been installed or installed correctly. Not
sure in this case, if the whole OS including AirPort support is an
automatic function - even when or if there is NO AirPort card in
the computer during the OS X install. +This may not be the case.+
There may be another answer, in this; if the card driver was only
installed IF there was a Card present. Or, IF the driver is installed
even when no Card was in the computer at the time the OS was
installed into the computer. (Some users did note an issue, in a
few instances, years ago.)
It is possible the AirPort Extreme 802.11/g card could be defective.
The other basic possibility could be debris in the card's slot, in such
a way as to not allow all the connections between the card & the Mac.
Be sure to not handle these wireless cards, or for that matter, RAM
memory cards, etc by the electrical contact side of the chips; since
a static charge by handling them, can short out their components.
You could try your luck with a USB wireless 802.11/g module to see
if that may give you wireless access via a USB port, if the AirPort
Extreme card and slot don't act correctly even with a second card.
On rare occasion, there could be an instance where the card may
be OK and not show correctly. Not sure if resetting the Power
Management Unit (PMU) could be of help in this specific matter.
• Resetting the iMac (Flat Panel G4) Power Management Unit (PMU)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1712
{The older AirPort Original 802.11/b wireless card would not fit into
an iMac G4 computer with the 1.0GHz or later (1.25GHz) processor
so that should not be among the considered possible issues, here.}
Hopefully, the issue is only dust in the Card's slot; which would be
comparatively easy to clear out. Or the AirPort Extreme card itself
could be bad. So, these are the simplest and least costly items to
take into consideration and check, compared to a logic board.
And it is possible to use a USB wireless adapter or module for use
with the iMac G4 and 802.11/g/n so long as the specs are correct
for the computer hardware and be sure the USB plug fits well. As
these generally go, they can be as easy as automatic recognition
by the computer. If you go this route, try the item without any new
software installed to support the USB wireless first. It may just go.
If the AirPort card were tested in another computer, to be good,
then perhaps to put the card back into your iMac G4 1.0GHz
machine and reset the PMU, check the computer's Profiler; and
maybe see if by reinstalling the Leopard (10.5) last Combo file
(10.5.8) over the top of your current 10.5.8 system, could help
it recognize the AirPort extreme card that was not there during
the installation of OS X 10.5.8 Leopard. This is a stretch.
Good luck & happy computing!

IBook G4 internal Airport card faulty

I have had my iBook G4 since mid 2005 and up until recently it has been brilliant but sadly it has started crashing and the report indicates that the airport card is at fault. Having spoken with the local mac repairer they suggested that changing the card could solve the problem but equally, given the age of the laptop, it could ultimately be the logic board!! Rather than throw good money after bad their suggestion was to disconnect the airport card (which seems to be integrated rather than easily removable) and use a usb wifi connection. They suggest D-Link WUA-1340 but I cannot find this anywhere in the UK. Does anyone have a suggestion where I can buy this or an alternative that will work. Thank you.

this is what it looks like anyway: http://www.ifixit.com/iBook-Parts/iBook-G4-12-Inch-1-33-GHz-or-14-Inch-1-42-GHz- Airport-Bluetooth-Board/IF183-054
anymore, most adapters have a pretty good chance of working. Check around for which models are available where you live & then search for mac compatability on those.

Airport card faulty

Recently I was downloading updates using my wireless router and the electricity supply went off for some time and my airport wireless system stopped working. The airport searches for networks for few seconds and stops, again searches and stops. This continues on and on but the airport does not detect any network now. I am told the airport card is damaged. How is this possible?? Is there any other way to solve this problem??

Hello:
Sudden power spikes/surges can, on occasion, damage devices. Usually a surge protector prevents that from happening.
If you are near an Apple store, make an appointment and have them test it for you.

Graphics Card Faulty?

Im in photoshop. and i make a gradient. i.e dark grey to black. It displays it as solid lines. Its not Photoshop because if i take a screenshot of it and send it to some one its fine. or is it the display. THanks LUke
Message was edited by: Lukeintosh

If you only have one cable between the display and the CPU, and only one connection at the CPU, that's the ADC. It carries power, DVI video and USB to the display.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/cdb_videoprts.html
If the cable splits before it gets to the CPU, then you have a DVI-compatible display.
All but one of the "Acrylic" displays are ADC. The very first "Cinema" display - 22" - was DVI (with a separate power supply), but looks a lot like the ADC Cinema Displays (20" & 23").

PSE 12 cannot read Inov8 8GB SDHC card

Am using Nikon D80 and this card worked fine, took a lot of photos, but now I find that Photoshop Elements 12 cannot read the card.
Any advice, please ?
MCO

Are you taking the card from the camera and putting it in a card reader, or connecting the camera directly to the computer?
As PSE uses your hardware to read the card the most likely problems are a faulty card, faulty card reader, faulty connector cable or socket.
Try connecting the card by a different method (e.g. if plugging your camera in, remove the card and plug it into a card reader, or vice-versa).
Are you able to try to read the card on a different computer? If so with what result?

Airport Card Freezing Mac

Hi,
My airport card in my mac has been working fine up until the other day. Now I cannot connect to my Airport Express, or any other wireless network for that matter
At first I thought it was my Airport Express, but now im not so sure. When I boot up and turn on my Airport Card its gives me the colored pinwheel and freezes completely.
I can connect to internet via the lan port (wired) to my modem however when i try to connect via wireless it freezes.
Is my airport card faulty? is there anyway you can test it?
Why would it stop working all of a sudden? I have removed the card and reinserted it (powered down of course) and the arial is connected firmly.
I dont have another card to check it.
Help!

I am also having the EXACT same problem with one of my Macs.
I have a PowerMac Quicksilver 867mhz G4 and a 12" PowerBook G4. About a year ago my PowerMac froze with the color wheel spinning. I had a lot of graphics programs open at the time and I figured I was trying to do too much...so I restarted. When I rebooted the computer would freeze as soon as it got through the start up screen. Through the troubleshooting process I tried unplugging the airport card in my PowerMac and it started like a charm.
I can’t figure out for the life of me what’s wrong. With the airport card plugged in, the computer freezes and will eventually (after 10-20min) stop trying to find a signal on the airport and finish the start-up process. When I use the pull down menu from the icon from the icon in the menu bar, it doesn’t find my base station or any of my neighbors. My laptop on the other hand finds my base station and 3 of my neighbors’ - full strength. My work laptop (a PC) finds my base station as well and has no problems connecting.
It shows up in the system profiler and in the network configuration box, but says it isn't in range of any networks. I have moved the computer and the airport into the same room within inches of each other, and still no luck.
I took the PowerMac into the Apple store w/ my airport express and magically everything worked perfectly. The apple “genius” said it must have been his magic touch. Unconvinced, I get it home and set everything back up. Like I expected, I have the same problem as before. No signal. So I take it to work, to a friend's house, etc and it WORKED! Everywhere except my apartment. So I figured it must be interference of some sort. I don't have a cordless phone, so I thought it must be one of my neighbors. I have tried deleting plists for the airport, making sure the computer is properly grounded, you name it. The only thing I haven't tried is replacing the card or using an antenna booster. I've pretty much given up on it until I buy a new computer.
Right now I am running the internet over airport to my poor ol’ PowerBook with internet sharing enabled and then running that connection through the ethernet cable to my PowerMac. Talk about a crazy contraption, but it works.
Please help!

PETITION FOR 4GB CARD SUPPORT!

Hello...
Nokia Users please join this petition for 4GB Card Support for Recent Nokia Phones & Upcoming New Nokia Phones!
Im sure there are owners out there who want the support of 4GB Card. Why is Nokia so Pathetic at listening to our concerns?
Its all simple! the recent models just need firmware teaking (update) so it support 3rd Party Memory Cards! We should benefit this feature from out phones. Theres no such thing as EXTRA hardware required to support 4GB Card ie 4GB Mini-SD, becuase it is the same dimensions n connections & all it needs is Firmware Update!.
However N-Gage, 6280 supports 4GB Card & there were sum screenshots of N80 working with 4GB Card using the old firmware v3.xx.x.xx
Nokia are so pathetic they lock the firmware by not allowing 100% compatible support for 3rd Party cards only Nokia branded Cards!
ALL WE WANT!...
However we (all nokia onwers) should have our phones supporting 4GB Cards. So uwners who agree please post your comment as i will forward this to Nokia Team. Its about time they took action to this!

hello,
i have an n80 ie, and at the moment i´ve a 2gb mini-sd, formated with >>>>FAT32 working in it.
At this site /discussions/board/message?board.id=smartphones&message.id=38078 , "shayesta", says, if you format your 4gb-mini-sd in your mobile, it will work. THIS IS NOT TRUE (maybe it depends on fw, but excluding the old 3.xxx , i dont believe at this moment in this.
I´ve buyed a 4gb mini-sd (NON-HC!!) ,when i try to format it in my n80ie, it says: "memory-card faulty".
When i use the 4gb-card in my pc or in my qtek9100 (mda vario) it works very well!
It may be paranoid, but i think nokia build a limitation in fw, so that u can´t use more than 2gb mem, because they want that we buy early a new mobile, that sopport 4gb officially. And probably with sup. for "sd-hc" , what on the other hand costs extra money for the "hc"(NON-HC WORX WITH FAT32 TOO, so thats not the difference!)
FACT IS, the n80 CAN work with 4gb, but nokia barricades this function. (I bet every n-series mobile could work since a year with 4gb-card if nokia wouldn´t be so obsinate).
I have not much hope for this great "4gb" fw-upgrade, but i wish the best.
so long, greetz (sry for my bad english, i´m a man from ger, german)

GTX 980 SLI , two different version cards.

I have two MSI GTX 980 gaming 4G cards ,they are different in memory. hynix and samsung. But the problem is that they are not performing the same. In the screenshot I attached you can clearly see that one working about 10 Celcius degrees higher than the other, with lower VDDC and a bit lower GPU clock. You can see I have overclocked the cards but this happen in stock clocks also. Is the card faulty? I need someone to help me with some information about this, because I bought them from amazon and I still have the 30 days return policy available to replace it.

Hi,
It's normal that 1 card is hotter than the other in SLI. I don't have to guess but the hotter one is in very first PCIe x16 slot.
You could try switching them around and see if temps slightly decrease, or increase the fan curve speed so both stay lower.
To be honest, for SLI it's been recommended to use cards that have blower heatsink/fan (like reference card), as with those open heatsinks/fans, they blow hot air on the other.
Also 72C for the card being in SLI and being the hottest of those, is very good. My old GTX770 was hitting 70C on FurMark and other stress tests without being in SLI.

[Soundblaster Z] PC won't boot with Sound Card

Hi,
today i got my new Soundblaster Z but my monitors stay black if i try to boot with it installed.
MSI Z97S SLI PLUS
Intel i7 4970k
Geforce GTX 980
Win 7 64
All drivers up to date.
Since my PCIe(x1) 1 is blocked by the CPU Fan and PCIe(x1) 3 is blocked by the fan of the graphics card i only have 4 and 5 left - both are PCIe x16. I tried them several times but the results where always the same - the PC has power but the Monitors stay black. The LED of the soundblaster is red glowing by the way - i don't know if thats normal or a warning signal.
Is the sound card faulty or am I missing something?
Thanks,
Korahan

Hi Korahan,
1) You may want to rearrange your cards to free up a slot, other than 4 and 5, that can fit in the card. If your CPU fan is a separate unit, you might want to remove that temporarily to see if it works. What we want to do here is to identify whether any of the slots are working fine. The PCIe x16 slot is within the specs of the Sound Blaster Z.
2) Next suspect is perhaps your PC's power supply, whether there is enough power for all your installed peripherals.
3) You can try the card on another system just to ensure that the card is not faulty
4) Regarding the LED, this is normal; there are some who found this rather annoying. You can easily search online on how to disable or hide the 2 LEDs. Just note that any physical modifications made to the card will void its warranty.
Cheers,
Colin-CL

HG282DJ scalable barcode font card in HP Laserjet 400 M401dn not detected

Hello, We have recently bought an HP laserjet 400 M401dn. We quickly realized this printer did not print any barcodes so we purchased an HG282DJ scalable barcode DIMM card. Unfortunately, after installing it in the printer and testing it, it still did not print the barcodes. I have installed it the way it showed me on the HP installation process. (shut down the printer, unplug all cables from the printer, plug the DIMM card, replug cables and turn on the printer). It then suggested me to print a PCL Font List which, unfortunately, did not include the barcodes font list. I then connected directly on the printer's web interface on the Home tab - config page where it says "DIMM 1"...it shows "Empty" is the card faulty or do I need to install an additional software for this to work? I thought this was pretty much Plug-And-Play. Thank you.

Hi, Is your firmware update for HP Laserjet 400 M401dn compatible with M401a, we are still having the same issue regarding barcode printing , and I can't find where to download the firmware update for our HP Laserjet 400 M401a. My printer's Firmware Datecode is 20140521. Any help from you will very much appreciated. Thanks and regards

MSI GeForce 8800 Ultra OC Lock / Freeze ups

Hi, this seems to be a general problem not just with MSI, I'm reading exactly the same problems being experienced by other 'Ultra' users.
After 20 or so mins of play (mainly bf2 / COH / Far Cry for me) the card/display driver crashes, the screen flickers and sound pulses then ultimately Windows (XP) locks-up/BSOD's.
If I ctrl-tab quick enough I can go back into Windows and 2d is fine. If I then try and reload a game or any 3d app, it will immediately hang again, ie the only way to recover is to reboot.
The GPU temperature reported is fine around 80 degrees at time of crash.
However, I can run 3dmark2006 to my hearts content with no issue and the same with FSX.
I tried lots of different things, endless driver revisions (yes use Driver Cleaner 1st), re-installing games etc to no avail.
Increasing the GPU fan to 100% with Riva-Tuner has no effect but removing the side panel of my computer does result in no problem (strange eh).
Now from what I have read, it is a problem with the memory being overclocked too much at factory.
So as recommended by a poster to another thread, I reduced the factory 2300mhz memory speed down to 2200mhz and now I am running fine.
I have a large Thermaltake case with 4 system fans so cooling is not an issue. Having said that, even if I had no fans the card should still not crash as the product does not specify any special cooling requirements.
Has anyone else with this card experienced the same problem? Is it a driver issue, or a problem with this card that is known about by MSI? Or is the card faulty, should I send it back?
I reported the problem to my reseller after 1 day and they told me they would need the card for 7 days and send it back to MSI if they couldn't find a fault. I am not prepared to do that and if it is not fit for my purposes, shouldn't they offer me an instant refund even if they test it and it works for them. I know for a fact they won't pay someone to sit there playing bf2 for half and hour lol, they will more likely run 3dmark and then tell me card is fine, when it isn't (for me)!

OMG THIS IS EXACTLY THE PROBLEM I HAVE!!
Ok sorry for caps. I have the exact same specs as elmes. I even had the exact same card as him previously x1900xtx from powercolor and it was rock solid for 1.5 years. I got the first MSI 8800 Ultra a couple of weeks ago and I launched EQ2 and lo and behold everything's great until I start seeing a weird black line flash in the middle of the screen every 20-30 seconds. Having had experience with problems like these I knew it was overheating or bad memory on the GPU or so I thought at the time. I have a ThermalTake Armor case with an 80mm fan custom mounted on the side blowing directly at the mobo and CPU, a Zalman 9500 on the CPU blasting the hot air across the case into the back exhaust 80mm, i've got a 40mm at the top of the case blowing the air out, 2 80mm front mounted blowing in and an extra exhaust 40mm in the back and the 80mm fan that comes side mounted on my OCZ GameXStream 700W PSU. So as you can tell the power and cooling is not a problem. Card runs 60c idle and max of 85c during ati tool artifact scan for 5 hours. (bosskiller could you please explain what combined PSU mode is exactly? i've never heard of that either, i have 2 PCI-E cables securely connected to the GPU).
So I launched CoH and same black lines, only worse. I then went on and downclocked the card to 635/2200 and surely enough all problems went away as far as the black line was concerned. So after poking around the net and ripping out a few hairs on my head for paying so much money for a buggy GPU, i decided to RMA it through Newegg. At the time I thought that maybe the box got damaged being shipped from CA to MA or I just got a bad card...
So I got a brand new 8800 last night, overnighted from NJ in fact. Box in perfect condition and everything inside....
I launch EQ2.....play for 30 minutes....no black lines...........WOW......n4_disp crash to desktop 5 min later..............
So sure enough I thought ok, don't panic....bad drivers.....uninstalled all of my nvidia drivers (I have an MSI P6N Diamond mobo too btw, had severe problems with software raid, SiL's running well now) and 162.18 release drivers....installed 158.22....same problem.
In an hour, the card started crashing in EQ2 every 5-10 minutes (and this was also at a particularly bad time as I was getting mauled by a lvl 57 epic djinn Al'zheri)....no black lines this time. So off I went and clocked it down to 635/2200 as I had the previous card, all problems vanished. Ran ATI tool artifact scan for overnight....all stable. Played EQ2 for an hour and a half this morning....all stable....
So now I'm certain that MSI 8800 Ultra is clocked too high. In fact go and take a look at the OC settings of other VGA manufacturers, MSI is the highest with the exception of XFX.
So either the QA team at MSI didn't do a proper job or 2 cards shipped from different locations with a 2 week delay in between happened to magically be bad. I'm gonna call Newegg today and see if I can exchange it for another brand.....

oh ya found quote in another forum
After reading about 200 threads on this problem, I came to the conclusion that it's a voltage problem. It's not BIOS, an ATI series of video card, faulty CPU or RAM, or a motherboard. The frequency of AMD CPUs being mentioned, power needs, and the ability of BIOS to compensate for voltage changes led me to believe that this is a problem with under-voltage. I don't have the time to experiment with each and every variable, so I upped the voltages in BIOS on all elements of both RAM and the CPU. Before this, I was getting a reboot at random and increasingly irritating times (I do annoying grad homework on this thing). So, after upping the voltages, I haven't had one reboot for HTSFE. If anyone wants to go from here and mess with the individual voltages, go for it. It's definitely a voltage problem. Hope this helps.
so i test it, i upped all voltages that i can change in BIOS. so far its already 2 day without Hyper transport error.
it is fine to upped all voltages?i up it until the highest "white" voltage ( i read in BIOS, grey=auto, white=normal, red=no recommended)

Wireless adapter causing blue screen

Hello,About a month ago on my Lenovo Ideapad Z580, I was using the internet when it said I was no longer connected. When I tried troubleshooting, it reset the wireless connection adapter and gave me a blue screen. When it restarted and I tried troubleshootingt it again, it enabled the adapter and worked fine. Since that first time, this BSOD has happened every day, sometimes multiple times a day, but not everytime I am on the internet. I have tried doing a system restore at a few different points, but the restore always ends in an error. I checked at the driver for the wireless adapter is up to date. Please advise on what I can do to fix this problem. Thank you,Stephanie

The symptoms you describe could be symptomatic of a variety of things to include hardware/software issues, overheating caused by a failed processor fan, bad memory (RAM), failing or underpowered power supply, CPU overheating, motherboard, video card, faulty or unsigned device drivers, CMOS battery going bad, BIOS and firmware problems, dirty hardware components, programs hanging or unresponsive in the background, and even malware. If the computer is overheating, it usually begins to shutdown/restart on a more regular basis.
If the machine is only crashing at home after establishing a connection but not at work when establishing a connection, then its probably an issue with your network configuration or something (i.e. wireless adapter) causing a conflict and not a malware issue.
The DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error is usually due to a bad driver or faulty/incompatible hardware or software. This error condition means that a kernel-mode process or driver tried to access a memory location to which it did not have permission, or at a kernel Interrupt ReQuest Level (IRQL) that was too high.

Windows XP Pro x64 problem with hardware aud

I just upgraded my computer and with this upgrade I installed Windows XP Pro x64. I am having the following symptoms and I am wondering if they aren't part of a larger problem.
When I run DXDiag (either the 32 or 64bit version) I get the following error message during the tests on the Sound tab: "Your sound card does not support hardware buffering. Sounds will only play back from software buffers.". Is this normal for Windows XP Pro x64. I've used this OS before (with my older system) and never saw that message and used 2 different X-Fi cards during that time!
I also have this problem...While running Thief Deadly Shadows, when I enable "Audio Hardware Mixing" I loose all sound. And I am unable to enable "EAX Advanced HD" and "EAX Multiple Environments".
It seems like I can't enable hardware audio. But I also have Lord of The Rings Online installed and it appears to be using it's hardware audio ok, but when I change from hardware to software it crashes if I don't disable EAX first, so it's not perfect. Is this card faulty or is this typical of WXPx64 or what?
Thanks...
My system specs are: Intel E6850, Asus P5K Deluxe (0404 BIOS), Corsair Twin2X4096-6400DHX, EVGA e-Geforce 8800 GTX, Creative X-Fi Elite Pro, Intel PRO/000 PT Server Adapter, Enermax Galaxy 000W Gamers Edition. I think that's all that's relevant.Message Edited by Zapper_Weisman on 07-27-20070:2 AM

I disabled the Memory Remap Feature in the BIOS and my DXDiag and Thief problems went away. I had a hunch it was related to this. But now my question is, am I just out of luck, in terms of having to sacrifice some of my RAM (3.25GBs instead of 4GBs) to get my sound card working properly? It seems to me that this is a driver issue, as I've read others say that Creative never really supported x64 fully.
Does anyone have anything to offer on this? Thanks...Message Edited by Zapper_Weisman on 07-27-20070:22 AM
