Help with motherboard installation-going crazy

Firstly I wouold like to give thanks to a forum as this.
The Problem:
I Just bought a new motherboard, MSI PM8M3-V, it seemed as if it was pretty straight forward in it's installation; but best laid plains. Being new to this forum, I'm not to sure if I am even in the right place to be stating my problem; that being: No Posting (no beeps when powering up).
I don't know what info you may need to ID my system, but I will start with the basics:
Motherboard: MSI PM8M3-V, VIA P4M800ce + VT8237R, FSB @ 800/533mhz, supports DDR SDRAM memory (33/400mhz)
CPU: Intel Pentium 4 541 3.20Ghz, 1MB cache, 800 FSB, socket 755
Power Supply: 350W (ATX 2.03(P4)).
memory stick: 512Mb, 400Mhz
Now I do have some knowledge of computer hardware, but I have no clue as to where to start looking to repair the problem. That problem being at the moment, getting no beeps when powering up my system. If someone could tell me what I should be expecting if I have a good installation of my board, why I'm not getting any beeps; or should I be getting any beeps? I think I have everything plugged in as it's stated in the user's guide, but still no beeps. I even powered up the board outside of the case, still nothing. The last thing I tried was removing the memory stick, but still no beeps. What's Missings?

Hey Guys, hope you are having a better weekend than I am; this darn computer . The test with the PSU did not go well, still no beeps or posting or even drive LEDs. The PSU that I was testing which I took from another system that is running the same type board (PM8PM-V - the board looks almost exactly the same, with the exception of being duo-core and higher FSB). Here's the PSU specs:
model: WIN - 400PS
Input: 115V/230V, 7.5A/4A, 60-50Hz
Output: +5V & +3.3V & 12V combined: 380W
Total output: 400W
3.3V - 15A
5V - 30A
12V = 15A
-5V - 0.6A
-12V - 0.6A
+5VSB - 2A
Ps-ON - Remote
POL - P.G.
Com - Return
Again this PSU is running another system, with a simular Motherboard; so as usual I'm still in the dark. Would you guys recommend me returning this motherboard for the PM8PM-V or one of simular type (I'm not looking for super-duper power, just want to play some great games, sound/video files and ofc files). But I rather figure out what's wrong with this board or set-up; so what do I do next?

Cant download new U2 album. |Says purchased on my account but no evidence anywhere and I definitely did not purchase it. Can anyone help with what is going on?

Cannot download new U2 album. Says purchased on my account but no evidence anywhere and I definitely did not purchase it. Can anyone help with what is going on?

It was given free to everyone on tuesday as part of the iPhone 5 event/announcement, so it will show as purchased in the store.
If this is on your iPhone then either turn Settings > iTunes & App Store > Music (under 'show all') 'on' - it should then show in the Music app with a cloud icon against it for downloading.
Or go to the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app, select Music, and it might then show under 'Various' - when downloaded it should correctly be under U2 in Music.
If you are using your computer's iTunes then you should be able to download it into your library by ticking the 'show iTunes in the Cloud purchases' tick box on the Store tab in Edit > Preferences (iTunes > Preferences on a Mac) - it should then show in the Music part of your library with a cloud icon against it for downloading (downloading the booklet for it this way may not work, you may get a 'corrupt file' message when trying to open it).
Or go to the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage and you should be able to download it from there.
A third option on a computer is to sign out of your account (Store > Sign Out menu option), find the album in the store and then click on its free 'price' button - you should then be prompted to sign back in and the album should download.

And fyi, deleting iTunes from the computer does not cause you to lose the songs. The iTunes music folder remains unaffected.

Help with TRex Installation

Hi, I am trying to install TRex (6.1.09.00) on my local portal (Netweaver 04 (640) - Stack 12) and during the 2nd last step of the installation I get the following message:
"error starting web server" and then the installation fails. When I checked the log, I got the following error message:
"The system cannot find the file specified.)in execution of a 'CreateProcess' function, line (278), with parameter (C:\usr\sap\Python
python.exe C:\usr\sap\trex_02/CCMS/install_config.py)".
I tried installing a couple of times and I always got the same error messages. Can anyone please help me? Thanks a lot for your valuable time.
Sincerely,
Sri

Hi,
When once Trex installation is failed, subsequent tries will also get the same error. My advice woudl be to uninstall the trex, delete all the sap_inst dir contents and delete the trex website after uninstallation. Go ahead with fresh installation. But the specify the new trex instance suppose previously you have specified 00, now specify 02 or 03 etc.
Never install Trex on same server on which portal is installed. It slow down your portal performance.
As well you need to satisfy the pre-requisites specified in installation directory.

Need some help with OS installation on Equium L10-300

Hello,
I am basically trying to do something really simple. But thanks to me being unfortunate enough to actually of bought such a diabolically bad computer, I know am on a forum trying to solve a jokishly simplistic problem.
When I try to format my computer, I am not being allowed, the Equim requests I insert some specific CD.
When I try to re-install windows it also tells me I need a certain CD.
I rang up Toshiba last year when I initially needed to format, they told me that its a lock, and that I have to pay money to get a new CD. I cant even explain how horribly messed up that is. How can a huge company get away with obstructing my human rights?
As a computer owner I should obtain the right to use any operating system I please.
Having some fascists dictate what OS I use is totally ridiculous and go's against what my basic rights. Its absolutely sickening
I need to know how to bypass this stupid system lock. Its totally illegal.
Someone please tell me how I can fix this horrible problem.

I understand you very well but let us write about all this.
Generally speaking every Toshiba notebook is delivered with preinstalled operating system. According your notebook specification your Equium L10-300 (PSL17E-XXXXX) is originally delivered with Windows XP Home (factory settings) and specification says this notebook model is delivered with recovery CD and Tools & Utilities Medias. I don't know if you got them or not.
Anyway when you bought your notebook you have already paid one license for preinstalled operating system. Of course nobody force you to use exact this recovery image (factory settings) and you can install your own operating system. Nothing is blocked or locked and because of that Toshiba offers drivers, tools and utilities on official support page. That means you can, for example, install WXP Professional on your notebook. WXP is supported and all necessary drivers, tools and utilities you can find on Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads.
Please check this page. Just choose your notebook model and you will see all WXP drivers, tools and utilities are there. Toshiba has also offered Installations Instructions document (the first one on the list) to help you with WXP installation. If you want to have own and clean preinstalled WXP just follow this installations order.
I believe this is good argument for you to see that nothing is locked. If you want to have factory settings again you need to install operating system using Toshiba recovery CD. If you don't have one you must order it. BUT you must not do this. Just install operating system using Microsoft installations CD/DVD.
You can try to install Windows2000, Linux whatever you want. There is just one question: where to find all necessary drivers. For your notebook model Toshiba supports WXP and Vista only.
So can you please tell me which installations CDs you have and which OS you want to install?

HELP! MBP Screen Going Crazy!

Hi Everyone,
Been having screen problems with my MBP 2.66 Core i7 the past couple months. The computer's barely a year old and I've kept it in pristine condition.
Problem is, I'll be surfing or doing Photoshop editing and all of a sudden, whichever window I have open in front of me "looks" like it starts to duplicate itself again and again onscreen, then in random order, completely filling the 17" screen with garble, even covering the dock - a complete mess!
After about 5 seconds, if I mouse over the dock, it appears as normal...if I choose Safari, my latest Safari browser comes to the forefront and "hides" the remaining screen mess behind it, same if I continue to choose other dock items already open. But then again within 10 seconds, the scattered mess begins all over again and takes over my entire screen. Sound familiar to anyone?
I've rebooted, run sbin/, repaired permissions, run Drive Genius, etc. My MBP i7 runs both the Intel HD Graphics and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M graphics. When this started a couple months ago, it happened maybe once in 3 weeks...now it happens every 2 days. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!
- CIndy

Yes, from what you tell it sounds like you have too.
If the store you bought it at are closer, then they should be helpful with getting it repaired/sent away for repair. - But here in Norway I just contact the care point and send it/bring it myself because it takes less time..

Tecra R840 - Need help with SSD installation

Hello,
sorry again, but I really need some help with this?
My new ssd (arriving in a couple of days) is a Plextor M5P which is 7mm thick! My Tecra R840-16J have a 9.5 mm thick hdd and for what I saw there is no caddy!
I would appreciate all the tips to install the ssd in my Tecra!
Thanks for you time,
paulo

Hello Paulo
As far as I know some models are offered with HDD and some with SSD these models offered with SSD have small SSD holder. SSD is fixed with 4 screws into this holder.
I really dont know how to help you now. Maybe you should contact nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. I think they can check part number of this holder or maybe order one for you.

Help! I'm going crazy with the Export function!

I've spent all day googling and trying different methods but I keep having issue with the Export to Movie function in CS3. I have a short 2-minute long movie made of several video clips, cross dissolve transitions, and an mp3 for background music. Everytime I try to export it through File/Export/Movie, it fails with the "Error compiling video...". This happens to many formats available (Microsoft AVI, Microsoft DV AVI, Quicktime, etc.). The weird thing is that I was able to export it through Adobe Media Encoder. I tried several file formats this way sucessfully with the same project. I uninstalled and reinstalled a few times and it's doing the same thing. I'd really appreciate any advice to help me solve this problem.

Please provide
these details to help us help you.
Cheers

Need help with drive installation for K9N2 SLI Platinum

Hi
I am new to the forum and to MSI
This is my 6th computer build and first time using SATA and PCIe
My hardware includes:
•   MSI K9N2 SLI Platinum Motherboard
•   Corsair XMS2 TWIN2X4096-6400C5
•   GeForce 9800 GT 512MB GDDR3
•   AMD Phenom X4 9850 Quad Core Processor, Black Edition 2.5GHz
4MB Cache 2000MHz [4000 MT/s] FSB
•   Thermaltake Ruby Orb Aluminum Core CPU Cooler
•   UltraX3 850 Watt ATX Modular Power Supply
•   [1] Western Digital 200MB7200 ATA133
•   [1] Maxtor 80MB ATA133 Drive [Not connected yet]
•   [1] Western Digital 500GB 7200RPM 16MB SATA II HARD DRIVE
•   [2] Seagate 7200.11 ST3500320AS 500GB SATA Hard Drives With 32 MB Cache
[Not connected]
•   LG DVD-RW
•   Toshiba DVD-ROM
•   AMI Bios
•   Antec Full Tower case
The board set up fine, but I can’t figure out how to install my drives. The MSI directions are the worse I’ve ever seen, or should I say non-existent. They don’t even describe the bios entries… I am familiar with the bios, but don’t know all the settings for the board. I set the time and date and had to rearrange my drive placement on the board to have my 2 DVD drives show up on the secondary IDE Channel instead of the primary IDE. The Western Digital 200MB7200 ATA133 is on the primary master IDE. I’m old fashioned so I still use FDISK to erase the old OS and partition the drive… I couldn’t see my SATA drive in FDISK even though I could see it in the bios. Now I want my Western Digital 500GB 7200RPM 16MB SATA II HARD DRIVE to be the system drive and the Western Digital 200MB7200 ATA133 to be a slave drive. My previous boards had raid but I just used them as additional slave drives.
My goals: I want to have redundancy for my personal audio/video and my work. I will use the 2 Seagate 7200.11 ST3500320AS 500GB SATA drives for that.
I also want 2 additional drives not purchased yet for my other data storage needs and for games
My questions are:
Can I use the SATA drive as the system drive if a drive is connected to the primary IDE?
How do I set up Raid on this board? I actually want to use its capabilities this time.
Does this board present any special problems with dual booting XP sp2 and Vista 64bit.
If I put another set of Corsair XMS2 TWIN2X4096-6400C5 in anticipation of installing Vista 64bit will this cause a problem other than windows XP not seeing the additional memory.
Is there additional documentation for this board somewhere?
Please help…I have been working on this thing for 4 days straight. My last build took 2 hours not including software installation. Hope I stated everything you need to know. Thanks in advance

Hello!
Advice no. 1 will be not to have everything connected at once. Have the chosen SATA and one of the DVD:s connected and install Windows. (Windows can only boot from bootable devices. It "jumps" all un-bootable.) Once you have a successful boot and happy with it, remove other things from the boot-sequence.
Eh, some of your questions suggest you don't have the full manual, but a multi-lingual one. Check this out, bottom of the list:

How do I get Adobe to help with an installation problem?

I removed Windows Vista, and installed XP instead. Then tried to install CS3 using the file I downloaded from Adobe 2 years ago. It installed Acrobat, but the other components (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator) failed with “Component not installed.” No error message. Never even asked for my serial number.
Phoned Adobe support on Sunday: closed.
Phoned again on Monday. Told to run CSClean. Did not solve problem. Phoned back. Swapped around departments (2 hours total on hold.) Promised they would email a link to download the installation file again. No email sent.
Phoned again Tuesday. More hours on hold. More promised link. Never sent.
Phoned again Wednesday. More hours on hold. Finally given a zip file link. Downloaded it 3 times, using different software (browser, FTP client.) I received the exact number of bytes on Adobe’s server, but the file is “not a valid archive” — rejected both by Windows itself and by WinZip.
We’ve now lost 3 days work, and cancelled clients for Thurs as well.
Utterly frustrated! WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO GET ADOBE TO HELP???

Please post your tale of woe here:
