Help needed quick with AGP problems

i bought a Radeon 9600 256MB vidcard from Sapphire today, and when i tried it in my K7N2 Delta ILSR, the system would boot, load windows, hang, then refuse to boot unless i removed the radeon ... since i dont have any onboard video, i've been using an Nvidia Vanta before the radeon, any ideas what the prob might be?
help would be very much appreciated

and what are some of the recommended PSU's also plz
thanks for ur help btw, i had solved the problem by moving the memory from one slot to another, does this give u any idea about any underlying problem with the motherboard??
I've already given you the top 2 PSU choices, and Bonz has linked you to his sticky on RAM choices. Please read what's been given to you already. As far as RAM I would recommend a good quality Mushkin or Corsair.   Run this to test your memory Memtest
Good Luck

  • Help needed to track down Problem in tiger with Pioneer DVR-110D

    ok as i stated in another topic i own a Beige G3 AIO that is running OS 9.2.2 and OS X 10.4.8 and i have done allot to this system to get it to run faster and to run properly.
    part of this setup has a Pioneer DVR-110D it there and when i bought it i was running OS 9.2.2 only. at first i could not burn anything with it cause it wasn't supported and when i went to put the system to sleep it would freeze when i would wake it up it never did this before i installed the drive so i knew what was causing it.
    i turned off HDD sleep and the problem was fixed. but i didn't like the ideal of having the hdd running all the time when idle. me and a friend was talking about optical drive issues and he said he found this driver replacement for the apple cd/dvd driver called intech speed tool's 6.0 for OS 9.2.2 and that i should give it a try cause it fixed a few problems for him.
    i downloaded the demo of it and installed it and i turned on hdd sleep and put the system to sleep and woke it back up and the system was running great. so now the wake up freeze problem was cured. but still no burn support. so after a few weeks of posting on here about the problem some one came by and said he knew what the problem was and sent me a modded PioneerCDR authoring support extension. i installed it and rebooted and opened iTunes and iTunes showed Pioneer DVR-110D as the devise to burn to. so i tryed it and behold it burned a audio cd with no problems.
    later i bought a western digital SE 120gb hdd and installed it and partitioned it 3 times a 8gb first partition for OS X a second partition 10gb for OS 9.2.2 and the 3rd partition was the rest of the drives size for shared data and storage. the hdd worked great with no issues so it was time to try OS X on this system cause i was waiting to get a large HDD to do so.
    i figured that the Pioneer drive would not boot the OS X jaguar cd and is a known problem with non apple cd rom drives. so i took out the Pioneer and reinstalled the apple 24x stock cd rom drive. and the jag install cd booted without a hitch. Jag installed and was running so i updated to 10.2.8 and found out the internal screen kept going out and locking the system up. so i searched this forum for the onboard video blackout and came across the terminal work around to get the system to behave itself with having more than 192mb ram installed. i rebooted and all went fine afterward.
    i reinstalled the Pioneer drive and went to testing it all was fine everything mounted on the desktop that i put in the drive. but i lacked the ability to burn with the drive cause still the drive wasn't supported be the system so i searched the forum and came across the program called patchburn. i downloaded it and ran it and patched the driver to support iApps burning with this drive. so i put in a blank cd and went to burn in iTunes it burned flawlessly so i tryed a dvd-r with the finder it to burned flawlessly.
    o loved playing a game planeshift and then they stopped supporting 10.2.8 so i went to buy the tiger install cd's. i already knew the Beige G3 was not a supported version of Os X on this system and you had to use xpostfacto 4 to install tiger on this system. so i did what i had to do to install tiger on the system and selected use old NDRV and selected to install tiger. which installed some files to boot tiger and rebooted yet again the Pionner drive refused to boot the install cd's . i got mad and held down the command option power key's for about 10 seconds and let off. the tiger installer booted and got to where it started to copy the files to the hdd and stalled out and the drive spun down never to spin back up or show signs of life so i powered down the system and removed the pioneer drive and put the stock 24x cdrom in and installed tiger.
    after tiger was installed i shut down the system and installed the pioneer drive. and powered back on and it was in verbose mode showing what was going on one part showed that the Pioneer drive was detected but had no kernel dependencies and continued to boot. i went to repair the permitions when the onboard video went blank and the system locked up. i rembered that 10.2.8 did the same thing so i tried the 10.2.8 screen blackout fix in 10.4 and rebooted. the onboard video didnt come on but since i had a ATI Radeon 7000 i could work around in tiger to update to 10.4.7 at the time. i first repaired permitions and then ran software update and updated everything and rebooted. the onboard video came back on allong with the ATI Radeon 7000 which being used as boot video device and shown the gray apple logo with the spinning pin wheel at the bottom.
    so far tiger was running great so i put a disk in the drive and nothing it didn't mount anything so i ejected it with the button on front of the drive and tryed a dvd movie and got the same nothing as with the cd. so i rebooted with the dvd in the drive al behold tiger mounted the dvd but as soon as i would try to do anything with it the drive would stop and i would have to reboot the system to gain the drive back so i can repair permissions. and never tryed to use the drive again
    10.4.8 update came out i updated to it using software update and rebooted. the update went flawless so i thought to myself what if the pioneer drive worked now. so i put a cd in the drive and it mounted the disk. then i ejected it with amazement and put a dvd in and it to mounted. so i tryed to play the dvd and it played the dvd to the end of the movie. i took out the dvd and rebooted. i tryed to put the dvd back in but it didnt mount. which ****** me off as to why it was just working and now its not.
    i rebooted and the dvd mounted as soon as the desktop showed up so i tried to play it but this time it only played for about 10-13 minutes before the drive stopped spinning which made dvd player stop responding which made me have to force quit the dvd player and try to restart which gave me a kernel panic. so i forced restarted (got a forum to send to apple to report the KP so i did) and the dvd mounted once again as soon as the desktop showed so i ejected the dvd and put a audio cd in and it mounted and i played the hole cd. so i ejected that and put a blank cd in and treed to burn and it got to 30% and then the drive spun down and made the disk utility stop responding. so i forced quit disk utility and rebooted. once it rebooted nothing popped up so i pressed the eject button on the drive and the cd r came out.
    the OS X 10.4.8 update made the drive more stable but still wont burn anything. some times it will still not mount anything, some time it will not play anything, and still fails to copy files over to the hdd. so now im left to believe its a driver issue some where since this drive worked so flawlessly in jaguar and OS 9 but fails to work properly in tiger.
    i looked in the extensions in ASP in 10.4.8 and there is a few extensions showing errors. i made a list of them to show

    that is the list of extensions that are reporting some sort of errors. at first i was figuring it was a problem with the driver for the Pioneer drive but my friend brought over his digital audio G4 which was also running 10.4.8. and we decided to try the drive in his Mac to see if there was any problems. it mounted everything we threw in it. it played dvd's great and played audio cd's great, it copied files over to the hdd without fail. it even burned a flawless cd. ok now the ideal of the driver for the drive was thrown out the window. so it has to be something else causing the problem. either a driver for a part on the motherboard or what i have no clue.
    im just wondering what driver it would be causing a problem not allowing the Pioneer drive to work properly. cause its not the drive being bad cause it worked flawlessly in OS 9.2.2 and jaguar and in tiger in my friends digital audio G4
    im just wondering if anyone might know what could be done to fix this problem cause i know it can be fixed but i don't know where to begin or how. so i ask you how could i begin to fix this
    thank you all for baring with me and reading all this. i know i wrote allot but i had to explain what was going on before i could ask for help so you could better understand what was going on. i have already updated the firmware to the latest with no change the firmware use to be the old 1.11

    yea i have along time ago and also made a update to xlr8's drive database. cause i fixed the problems with the drive in OS 9.2.2 (AKA no burn support with the built in burning app or iTunes, now have full support for burning with the finder burn and iTunes thanks to a edited PioneerCDR authoring support extension that someone edited for me. found out that the Apple CD/DVD driver extension was at fault for the locking up on wake up with hdd sleep enabled that started when i installed the Pioneer drive. fixed with intech CD/DVD speedtools 6.0).
    When i did the first report on the drive database on xlr8yourmac i reported what problems i was having in OS 9.2.2 and i think i reported that i had no problems in jaguar, and was trying to obtain a driver or something to try to get it to work. but to no avail at first. after i fixed the problems i did a update report
    in jaguar the drive had no problems but no burn support. installed patchburn and the drive worked 100% in jag no problems what so ever. im thinking it has somthing to do with one or all of the extensions with errors but i can be wrong.
    i just wonder where ryan has been on the forums in OWC's site. cause i would like to submit my crash log panic log and the extensions with errors so he could help track down the problems to see if it cant be fixed. but ive tried emailing him but no replay's. and his last reply on the OWC forums was back in desember 2005 a few day's over a year
    i know it isnt the drive cause it worked flawlessly in tiger 10.4.8 on my friends Digital Audio but i know why it worked fine cause it has the proper files for the DA to work cause its a supported system. i would like to try to help to get xpostfacto to work better on the Beige G3 system
    in tiger if it is something to do with xpostfacto

  • Help needed please, with Iphone stuck with apple picture and progress bar after software update attempted

    Help needed please, everytime I try to update the software version on my iphone it comes up with a message saying it could not be completed and is now frozen with the apple picture and progress bar on it. Do I unplug it and hope the macbook pro sees it again, I also stupidly did not back up before starting the download which I realise I will have to go back to the previous back up. This keeps happening, everytime I do this type of update, I'm starting to think I should just give up on updating my software on the Iphone. I thought it was happening because I was using a window based computer to do the updates, this time I used my Macbook Pro. Please somebody help

  • Loops messed up. Help needed quickly

    Hi there,
    I'm in the middle of kind of an important project that has to be finished by next week and of course those are the times when software seems to fail So I need help quickly.
    Situation: the location of my apple loops seems to be messed up. I placed the "Apple Loops for Soundtrack Pro" on an external disk (since it is the largest folder) and kept the rest on my internal drive. Now, when I search my loop browser, results seem to be incomplete. I know I had a lot more drum loops before I reorganized my loops than I have now.
    So I became suspicious and as some kind of test I looked in the Library > Audio > Apple Loops > Jam Pack Symphony Orchestra folder, searched for a particular loop name (in this case "Adversary Strings"), typed it in the search menu of the loop browser in Logic and couldn't find it.
    So I took al my loop folders in the "Apple Loops" map and dragged them back into Logic. It showed "Adding Loops" and after 10 seconds (which seemed rather short to me) this was done. I searched again "Adversary Strings" in the loop browers, still couldn't find it. So I dragged ONLY the "Adversary Strings" loop in the Logic Pro loop browser and then Logic gave me a message: "Logic already has this loop, do you want to replace it?"
    But Logic doesn't have that loop! I can't find it, there's no filter on in my loop browser (I search "all loops") and I don't find some loops (it's not only the case with the "Adversary Strings") and when I want to add them I get the message that they're already in Logic...
    So I deleted all my loop indexes, re-added the loops and still no results.
    Any ideas out there to re-index these things correctly???
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    thanks for the help, but as I said in my topic, I already followed the steps suggested in "Rebuilding the Loop index" (deleting my index and dragging the apple loops folder back in the browser) and of course I already searched the forum. My question was a little more specific, so I thought it deserved a new thread.
    Eventually I solved it in a very strange manner, just by trial and error actually. When I added the whole loop folder, Logic couldn't find the loops (despite deleting the index and hoping for Logic to re-index the loops). But when I selected one loop out of a particular folder (for instance Jam Pack1) and added it, Logic added the loop, but this seemed to take a while. After that one loop was loaded, suddenly all the others that were in the same folder (Jam Pack1) were also visible again.
    I did this for every different loop folder (5 jam packs, garage band, soundtrack pro and I life) and so got back all my loops...
    Weird, but it worked
    Thanks anyhow...

    This means you are may be standard SAP is issuing the error messag when there is no email id on the invoice. Please have a look at the print program for the output type and make sure dont issue any error message if there is no email id.

  • HELP, need quick script fix

    Hi,
    Our InDesign is acting up here. We are designing massive amounts of tables for various annual reports. After the design for print is done, these tables need exporting to xHTML.
    We have tested this extensively, and written complicated CSS files and many cell-styles to make it work.
    The thing is, that now when the final test-export needs to be done. InDesign suddenly returns a Stack Overrun error message when exporting. The only thing that seems to happen is that we cut out each page, paste it into a new document, save, and then do the xHTML export. But we are talking hundreds of pages here.
    My Apple script is not too good, but I am sure this can be done by a simple script. And I am quite sure it has been done before.
    Can anyone here please point me in the correct direction.
    PS. A bug report has been made to Adobe about this issue

    Thank you for the quick reply. Smart ports look very cool. I like the idea and may find this useful for other purposes but if I am reading this right, it won't work for what I need. It looks like he would need to log into the switch to apply the macro. He is a phone guy and does not want to actually touch the switch. So I was looking for like a perl script of something that I could configure with my TACACS credentials. Also I won't know what port he needs reconfigured until he needs it, so I need him to be able to add the port number as a variable without him actually having to do any programming. he would be will to run it as part of a command (i.e run command.exe 10.10.10.22 g1/0/22 222, where 10.10.10.22 is switch IP, g1/0/22 is port, and 222 is the new vlan) or if I can do somekind of prompt that would be great!

  • I am in shock, I will die if anybody can help me out with my problem read!

    Okay, please take the time to read this and help if you can, although I don't know if that is possible at this point.
    I started having this problem about a year and a half ago, I had a 2 year old MAC and was using imovie HD, and about every 5 transitions I would add to my project imovie would suddenly shut down. I have spent nearly 10 hours on the phone with Apple Care trying to figure out the problem. I did EVERYTHING, even reinstalled my operating system. Finally I decided I couldn't handle it anymore, so last week I went out and brought a brand new iMac and even added 3 gigs of Ram on top of the 1 that it came with. I installed iMovie HD and just tried tonight and sure enough it is doing the same thing.
    This is absolutely unbelievable. I feel like somebody is playing a joke on me. Yes, they are different projects, different user, I've deleted plists, etc. So in this case I would think that this happens to everybody when they are trying to add transitions, imovie just shuts down. But if that were the case, why would the 20 different people I've talked to from Apple care never heard of this problem.
    Please, before I throw my Mac out the window and go to a PC, please somebody help me... ;(

    Hi Amber - welcome to the forum!
    I would hate to be responsible for your premature death - so perhaps I should make no suggestions at all?
    It is NOT normal behaviour so there has to be a logical reason for it:
    1. What is the source of your input video footage - unusual?
    2. Any third-party plugins that may be causing this? Do you have plugins for iMovie?
    3. Any unusual applications that you have carried over from your old machine?
    4. Where is your iMovie project stored? On an external drive? If so is it formatted for Macs?
    5. Have you repaired permissions? To do so go: Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility, then select your start-up drive and hit 'repair permissions'.
    Others may have more suggestions for you.
    Report back, and hey, don't die on us!!:-))

  • Help needed working with layers and exporting from acrobat3d

    hi, i am repostng this message becaus eihad no success last time, and I am working under a tight deadline for a school project. any help will be tremendously appreciated
    I received an Acrobat 3d file with a model that was originally created in CATIA v4 embedded in it.
    I need to export the model for use in rhino. Currently the model size is enormous as an IGES that Windows runs out of memory when attempting to open. This is a bit wasteful since I do not need all of the model, I just need a layer of it. I noticed that when exporting to IGES you have the option to export hidden or not, and I have hidden the layers i do not need (via Isolation) and still I get the whole file.
    Is there a way I can do this? export the file With the layers under the model tree? or is there a way I can delete a layer? or how can I make the hidden object feature work when Exporting IGES as not to get the things I dont need?
    I read that you can open the model in Toolkit to edit it but it wont let me, open it... no "edit 3d in toolkit" option and when i open the pdf in toolkit it says unknown file....

  • Please help need advice with planned project!

    Hi, im not sure if this is the correct forum to post this (there are so many!) just move it to the correct place if it isn�t.
    I need some advice on the correct way of coding a feature that is essential to my dissertation project.
    Basically the project is going to be a particle effect tool that works in a similar way to the particle flow tool works in 3DSMax if anyone has used it, if not here is a screeny:
    http://www.artificial-studios.co.uk/DumpingGround/partview01.png
    It allows you to visually represent your particle system by joining components together and linking them with connecting lines.
    Now my questions is what would be the correct way to implement this in java? I am currently using a series of JSplitPanel's to split the main frame up then using a JPanel for the main area and other JPanels for the individual elements that you can move around and link up, here is a screeny:
    http://www.artificial-studios.co.uk/DumpingGround/partview02.png
    My problem is that when i add a new element via a right click menu I have to call revalidate on the main panel, this causes all the elements to return to their default position. The same thing happens whenever you move one of the JSplitPanes as it called revalidate.
    So im wondering if im doing this the correct way, i see that there are many other kinds of panels provided with SWING and wondering if any of the others are perhaps more suited to my requirements?
    I know that its definitely possible as Poseidon UML was coded entirely in Java and it has many of the features i am looking for:

    As this will be my first large GUI application i wasn�t sure where to turn so if anyone can me any advice whatsoever it would be greatly appreciated. Also if anyone can point me to any books or reading material concerning professional GUI design so that i may be able to code applications that look as professional as Poseidon or Netbeans it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Do you know about Data Access Object(dao)?
    Assume you want to add hydrogen molecule to a panel, you create a new object with the class(class Molecule) representing a new molecule( H2, O2 or H2O).
    You can also create a dao for this object of Molecule
    class MoleculeProperty
               private int xLocation, int yLocation, ZLocation;
               public void setYLocation(int tempYLocation)
                           yLocation = tempYLocation;
               public int getYLocation()
                           return yLocation;
               public int getZLocation()
                           return zLocation;
               public void setZLocation(int tempZLocation)
                           zLocation = tempZLocation;
               public void setJustUpdated(boolean tempInput)
                       justUpdated = tempInput;
               public boolean getJustUpdated()
                       return justUpdated;
    Either within your method paintComponent(Graphics g) or your panel for drawing molecules or method paint(Graphics g), it reads MoleculeProperty of Molecule and it can draw it in proper location.
    After you have created a new Molecule, dao.setJustUpdated(true) . At the last line of method paintComponent(Graphics g) or paint(Graphics g), dao.setJustUpdated(false);
