  • Help please 746F Ultra

    Hi,
    I have had problems with my PC which I think are related to the mainboard 746F Ultra. following a bios upgrade.  My PC has been hanging, and I am getting 98%CPU usage on system.(according to task manager, proceses tab)
    The pc was only recognising my XP2100 as an XP1500. Changing the FSB setting fixed this, however this intermitet problem with the CPU usage has returned. I noticed in the hardware tab under system devices there is a "Motherboard resourses" and there is no driver installed, could this be part of the problem? (tried installing driver from the motherboard CD, nothing relevant found)
    Thanks for reading this

  • Help with 645 Ultra-C

    ok i decided to update my system so i got the 645 ultra-c with a P4 2.2.  i hooked everything up and its been working ok but i get the error stating (XXXXX) referenced memory at (XXXXXX) could not be read. now i get that error whenever i play games. i have the geforce 4 mx 420 and all the updated drivers for it. i never had any problems with it before so i dont think its the graphics card.  the only other new item i added to my system was a stick of ddr 256 pc 2100 ram that i got cheap of the net. so im thinking i got bad memory because ive flashed my bios updating everything and thats the only solution i have left. any ideas???
    thanks

    ok ran the test for about 2 hours had like 5000 errors so im assuming i got bad memory thanks for the help. tip for others dont buy cheap ram off the net lol.

  • Help with KT4 Ultra and 5.1 surround

    Hi there
    Ok I am new to this PC building game and have to be honest I don't know all the technical jargon so if anyone can help, please speak in good old common English, I is a bit slow on the uptake.
    The problem:
    I have built a PC for the old man using the KT4 Ultra MS-6590 motherboard. It came with a two additional brackets, a blue tooth USB thingy, a 5.1 bracket and MSIDVD5.1ch DVD. Both brackets take up a PCI space but plug direct into the motherboard not the pci slot (you probably already know this).
    Now i haven't installed these as I was unsure how to use them. The 5.1 adapter/bracket only has a two speaker jacks, and these run two types of speakers (which ones I can't remember right now). So if I was to pug it in, where do all the other speakers plug in to the system and am I supposed to buy a set of 5.1 speakers that are especially designed to use this type of jack configuration? Any recommendations on speaker packages are very welcome. I also take it that the DVD that came with it will help me set everything up yeh? I haven't tried it as I didn't install the bracket.
    Ok next up, this Bluetooth bracket thing? So what's that all about? If I plug it in, will it give me bluetooth support or do I need to buy something else to make that work? Personally I would be surprised if I plugged it in and it worked.
    Now if you are wondering what brackets I am talking about, you can see them here on the MSI site under the Socket A motherboard section, there are images right at the bottom.
    Cheers for any help you can give, like I say, I am new to all this and I guess we all have to learn somewhere right? So please go easy on me.  
    Cheers Jordy

    Cheers for that,
    I read the KT4 unofficial Fact and got a little confused with what it was saying about bluetooth. I take it that it is in fact not bluetooth and just two extra USB ports? I could be wrong, like I say I get confused with all this techno babble.
    Ok so when I installed the drivers and everything else for the motherboard, was c-media mixer installed with it, or is it on the MSIDVD5.1ch DVD?
    That seem's easy enough to follow though cheers.  
    do you recommend any particualar speaker systems to make connection simple and easy? If you think I am dim, you should see the old man navigate the net (crap he is bound to read this).
    Cheers for your help and anymore light you can shed on the bluetooth bracket.
    Cheers again Jordy  8)

  • Help please XP2100 on 746F Ultra

    Hi,
    Can anyone help me out.  I have an Athelon XP2100 on 746F Ultra MS 5715 mainboard.
    However since I updated the bios it now shows the cpu as an XP1500. Any ideas? Thanks for reading this. Paul

    Wonkanoby, thank you it has worked and I am as pleased as punch! I have spent the last three hours pulling my hair out. Thanks again!

  • 746F Ultra & 6600GT

    Hi there, hope someone might be able to help me out.
    I have a 746F Ultra with AMD XP 2000+, 512 RAM.  I was running an nVidia 5200 graphcs card, but bought a Leadtek 6600GT.  However, upon installing, the WinFast BIOS screen comes up from the graphics card, which checks its onboard ram, then the normal boot screen appears, checking HDDs etc.  However, then it just locks.  I can't get into the BIOS either, because although it displays the option to enter, it locks before it enters the BIOS.  I have two machines with this motherboard (other has a Duron) and the behaviour is the exact same on both.
    I however checked the card on a friend's Abit NF2, and it booted up fine.  The software tool says the BIOS is up to date, although the AGP drivers are not.  I've upgraded them now and will check later, but was looking opinions on other possibilities ?  Or does anyone know for example that the card + mobo are incompatible ?
    Thanks for any help,
    Cheers.

     
    Upon rebooting DOS was messed up, so I thought it was the card.  It also started locking at post again.
    I replaced the card again with the old FX5200, and upon boot a windows file was damaged !?!  I couldn't fix it in recovery console, so I reinstalled windows, and on the first boot to the login screen, the login screen had the same pink pixel problems on it !
    So fresh install + old card and the pixel corruption was still there !?!?!
    This morning, turned his computer on, and the pixel corruption was gone again.
    I'm so baffled, I just don't know what to do...

  • Help with XP2400, low scores and OCing...

    This is my first post on this forum, just to let everyone know right off the bat you are dealing with a nOOb!! I have a little knowledge on the subject from all the reading I've done the last week or two, but still am new to this...Ok, that being said, here we go...
    AMD Athlon [email protected](15x150)(49 idle, 55 under load)
    MSI KM2M combo   MS-6738
    768MB pc2700(set:BY SPD, 6,3,3,2.5)
    BFG Gforce FX5900XT 475/794
    SoundBlaster Live 5.1
    40G HD / Win XP Home
    stock PSU 250 watt (yea,yea, more power, I know)
    Ok, I just upgraded my vid. card to play BFV because my old Gforce4 mx440se just wasn't cutting it anymore....When I upgraded I started to run some benchmarks(N Bench, SiSiftwareSandra2004, Aquamark3...).....After running AM3 I noticed that my cpu score was much slower than many of the others(cpu 4989  gfx 6099  overall 37,774)...I mean slower than 1.6 G machines, which I found to be quite disturbing! My graphics score holds up nicely compared to others (the FX5900XT OC's like a champ!)...I have all the latest chipset drivers, vid card drivers, sound card drivers etc....My cpu is overclocked using fsb only because my mobo won't allow access to multipliers and voltage controls. After unlocking the 2400, it set to 933Mhz(7x133) to show it was working, but no added options are found...Ater locking it, I realize I need a new motherboard(micro-atx) that will support my pc2700 and a 400 fsb....I don't know if an Nforce 2 will work because they are very selective about the memory they accept...Any suggestions?
    I just basically wanted to know why my cpu tests so low in AM3, but not on Sandra2004 with her MIPS and MFLOPS.....It tests well above theXP2400,XP3000, and just better than theXP3200!!!  If I use AIDA32, my cpu tests really low as well...What the hell is going on here? I want to know why 1.6 G machines are beating mine? is it possible my cpu just doesn't like certain benches? Why does it test well in 1 test and bad in another? My cpu score should be almost 2000 points higher in the AM3 bench than it is...Right? What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks for taking the time to read my long, run on post....I wrote it on my way out the door just before work...If any more info is needed, please let me know...
    Thanks in advance for any replies..Like I said, I'm new to this and any help would be greatly appreciated..Thanks again!
                         TY,

  • Help with if statement in cursor and for loop to get output

    I have the following cursor and and want to use if else statement to get the output. The cursor is working fine. What i need help with is how to use and if else statement to only get the folderrsn that have not been updated in the last 30 days. If you look at the talbe below my select statement is showing folderrs 291631 was updated only 4 days ago and folderrsn 322160 was also updated 4 days ago.
    I do not want these two to appear in my result set. So i need to use if else so that my result only shows all folderrsn that havenot been updated in the last 30 days.
    Here is my cursor:
    /*Cursor for Email procedure. It is working Shows userid and the string
    You need to update these folders*/
    DECLARE

    AND fp.processrsn = fpa.processrsn
    AND vu.userid = fp.assigneduser
    AND vu.statuscode = 1
    GROUP BY assigneduser, vu.emailaddress, f.folderrsn, f.indate
    ORDER BY fp.assigneduser;
    BEGIN
    FOR c1 IN c LOOP
    IF (c1.assigneduser = v_assigneduser) THEN
    dbms_output.put_line(' ' || c1.folderrsn);
    else
    dbms_output.put(c1.assigneduser ||': ' || 'Overdue Folders:You need to update these folders: Folderrsn: '||c1.folderrsn);
    END IF;
    a_user := c1.assigneduser;

    v_emailaddress := c1.emailaddress;
    v_subject := 'Subject: Project for';
    END LOOP;

    The reason I have included the folowing table is that I want you to see the output from the select statement. that way you can help me do the if statement in the above cursor so that the result will look like this:

    Hoping for some help with a very frustrating issue!
    I have been syncing calendar and contacts on my iPhone 5 and Outlook 2007 using iCloud  2.1.3 (my PC is running Vista). All was well until the events I entered on the phone were showing up in Outlook, but not the other way around. I’ve tried the usual recommended steps: deselecting calendar and contacts in the iCloud control panel and then re-selecting, signing out of the panel and back in, and repairing the Outlook installation in control panel.  I even uninstalled iCloud on the PC and downloaded it again (same version). 
    The furthest I’ve gotten is step 2 (and once, step 3) of 7 while performing “Outlook Setup For iCloud.” At that point I get, “Your setup couldn’t be started because of an unexpected error.”  After the first attempt at all this, all my calendar events disappeared from Outlook, although they are still in iCloud calendar and on my phone.
    Sound familiar?  Any ideas on how to solve this iCloud/Outlook issue?  Thanks much in advance!

    Hoping for some help with a very frustrating issue!
    I have been syncing calendar and contacts on my iPhone 5 and Outlook 2007 using iCloud  2.1.3 (my PC is running Vista). All was well until the events I entered on the phone were showing up in Outlook, but not the other way around. I’ve tried the usual recommended steps: deselecting calendar and contacts in the iCloud control panel and then re-selecting, signing out of the panel and back in, and repairing the Outlook installation in control panel.  I even uninstalled iCloud on the PC and downloaded it again (same version). 
    The furthest I’ve gotten is step 2 (and once, step 3) of 7 while performing “Outlook Setup For iCloud.” At that point I get, “Your setup couldn’t be started because of an unexpected error.”  After the first attempt at all this, all my calendar events disappeared from Outlook, although they are still in iCloud calendar and on my phone.
    Sound familiar?  Any ideas on how to solve this iCloud/Outlook issue?  Thanks much in advance!

  • Help with HP Laser Printer 1200se

    HP Support Line,
    Really need your assistance.  I have tried both contacting HP by phone (told they no longer support our printer via phone help), the tech told me that I needed to contact HP by e-mail for assistance.   I then sent an e-mail for assistance and got that reply today, the reply is as follows  "Randall, unfortunately, HP does not offer support via e-mail for your product.  However many resources are available on the HP web site that may provide the answer to your inquiry.  Support is also available via telephone.  A list of technical support numbers can be round at the following URL........."  The phone numbers listed are the ones I called and the ones that told me I needed to contact the e-mail support for help.
    So here I am looking for your help with my issue.
    We just bought a new HP Pavillion Slimline Desk Top PC (as our 6 year old HP Pavillion PC died on us).  We have 2 HP printers, one (an all-in-one type printer, used maily for copying and printing color, when needed) is connected and it is working fine with the exception of the scanning option (not supported by Windows 7).  However we use our Laser Printer for all of our regular prining needs.  This is the HP LaserPrinter 1200se, which is about 6 years old but works really well.  For this printer we currently only have a parallel connection type cord and there is not a parallel port on the Slimline HP PC.  The printer also has the option to connedt a USB cable (we do not currently have this type of cable).
    We posed the following two questions:
    1.  Is the Laser Jet 1200se compatible with Windows 7?
    and if this is the case
    2.  Can we purchase either a) a USC connection cord (generic or do we need a printer specific cord)? or b) is there there a printer cable converter adapater to attach to our parallel cable to convert to a USB connection?
    We do not want to purchase the USB cable if Windows 7 will not accept the connection, or if doing this will harm the PC.
    We really would appreciate any assitance that you might give us.
    Thank you,
    Randy and Leslie Gibson

    Sorry, both cannot be enabled by design.  That said, devices on a network do not care how others are connected.  You can print from a wireless connection to a wired (Ethernet) printer and v/v.
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

  • Going to Australia and need help with Power converters

    Facts:
    US uses 110v on 60hz
    Australia 220v on 50hz
    Making sure I understood that correctly.  Devices I plan on bringing that will use power are PS3 Slim, MacBook Pro 2008 model, and WD 1TB External HDD.  My DS, and Cell are charging via USB to save trouble of other cables.
    Ideas I've had or thought of:
    1.  Get a power converter for a US Powerstrip, and then plug in my US items into the strip and then the strip into an AUS Converter into Australian outlet.  Not sure if this fixes the voltage/frequency change.
    2.  Get power converters for all my devices.  But, not sure if my devices needs ways of lowering the voltage/increasing frequency or something to help with the adjustment.
    3.  Buy a universal powerstrip, which is extremely costly and I wouldn't be able to have here in time (I leave Thursday).  Unless Best Buy carrys one.

    Check the specs on input voltage/frequency of your power supplies.
    Many laptop power supplies are "universal/global" and are specced something like 80-265 volts AC 50/60 Hz, but not all.  These will just need a connector adapter.
    Unsure about the PS3 Slim - if it isn't universal it could be difficult as you'll need a 110/220 transformer, one big enough (power-handling wise) for the PS3 will be very bulky.
    For the external WD HDD, if it doesn't have a universal supply, you're probably best off just finding a new wallwart for it that is capable of running on 220/50.
    *disclaimer* I am not now, nor have I ever been, an employee of Best Buy, Geek Squad, nor of any of their affiliate, parent, or subsidiary companies.
