Help with new build, keeps freezing on stock settings

Ok, here is my build:
AMD phenom II X4 965 125w
MSI 790GX-G65 Mobo
4gb corsair XMS3 2x2gb 1600mhz DDR3
ATI Radeon 1gb 5970
1TB caviar black
Ok so here goes:
I ordered all of the above parts, and proceeded to build the computer. It would boot fine, but than went to install windows 7 and it would always freeze before the install screen even came up.
I tried everything, but bought another CPU and Motherboard. Same problem.
I don't even have the video card plugged into the board, so that can't be the problem
I did a memtest86 and found no errors.
Now, if I underclock the CPU to 2.0ghz it's stable as a rock.. But anything above 2.2ghz and it starts getting unstable.
Help please? I have upgraded BIOS to 4.1
All settings are on Auto
Let me know which direction to go? I am about to switch to a different brand motherboard all together.
Thanks so much for any help anyone gives me!

This is the one I always use on my highend builds

Need Help With New Build, Please

Ok, built a new PC. Here are the parts:
MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum
XFX Geforce 6800GT
Seagate 160 Gig w/ NCQ
1 Gig (512x2) Corsair value memory 3200
PC Power and Cooling 470 Watt Silencer w/ Y PCI-express adapter
Athlon 3500+ (Clawhammer, says Newegg)
Lian-Li V-1100 (black)
My problem: 99.7% sure all cables are connected properly.
All lights and fans come on, drives open and close, but no video signal.
D-Bracket indicates the boot sequence is stuck on "processor initialization".
Things I've tried:
Swapped out the motherboard for an Asus A8N-SLI, same problem.
Reset CMOS on both: same problem, obviously not a motherboard issue.
Built w/ just CPU, GPU, and Memory on a towel, not a grounding issue.
Tried swapping out DIMMS one at a time in primary slot, same problem with both.
Yes, both 24-pin connectors and 12v 4-pin connector are hooked up.
Where I am now:
It's not the motherboard, or memory (unless both DIMMS are bad).
Based on the D-bracket LEDs, I assume it was the processor. I've sent the processor back to Newegg for a new one.
If that's not it, that leaves the PSU, the GPU, and/or the way I've got the y-adapter running to the GPU via two molex.
If the processor comes back and it doesn't work, I'll probably buy a cheap PCI card from newegg to see if it's a GPU problem. And/or I'll try a new PSU with a native 6-pin PCI-Express power connector.
Does anyone see any common compatibility problems with the K8N Neo4 Platinum and the parts I've selected, and/or does anyone have any other suggestions?
It's very depressing to have all this gear sitting around and be unable to power up Half-Life 2. :( Any help would be appreciated.

Most likely RAM is your problem. Reset bios and try new memory.
Tom
Possible, but as mentioned, the LED bracket indicates it makes it completely through POST without the video-card, and I've tried alternating each DIMM, one at a time, in the primary slot. Unless both sticks are bad (wonder what the statistical chance of that is), it's not memory.
Though I'll try swapping out both as a last resort if the GPU switch doesn't work.

To get Infinity, you need an activated cabinet too. If you don't have a phone with BT, try the address checker. If you do have a BT phone use the number checker. Both are at http://www.dslchecker.bt.com/adsl/adslchecker.welcome

Why does my new iMac keep freezing for no apparent reason?

Why does my new iMac keep freezing? This usually happens when it is not being used and is particularly frustrating when I do need to use it and ahve to switch off and then on again and wait for it to reboot.
I am not computer literate so keep any answers as simple and idiot friendly as possible. I treat it like a car. If I put in the key and turn the ignition on and the enginesprings into life I am content. If not.............. well!

In order to provide any help we need to understand a little bit more about the problem you are experiencing.
You indicated the issue occurs when the sytem is not being used. Does this mean that you stop working on the system and the system 'goes to sleep' where the screen goes black, but when you need to wake it back up by pressing keys on the keyboard or clicking the mouse the system doesn't wake back up? To test for this issue open the System Preferences and click on the Energy Saver preferences. See the 'Computer Sleep' slider to the far right 'Never' setting. You can set the 'Display sleep' setting to any number you prefer. With these settings see if the issue still occurs and let us know the results. If it resolves the issue then give Apple a call and let them know you are unable to wake the system when it goes to sleep. You shouldn't be having that issue.

New Macbook Pro 15' with Retina Display Keeps Freezing Completely

Last week I got a Late 2013 Macbook Pro 15' with Retina Display (currently running OS X Mavericks 10.9.1) . However since last Thursday it keeps freezing. It usually happens 2-4 times in a day. The entire computer will freeze completly, I'll be unable to move the cursor with the trackpad and the keyboard freezes up as well. The only way to ameliorate the problem is by shutting down the computer by pressing down on the power button and then turning it back on. When my Mac starts up again it works completely normally. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? I recently read that this was happening to some 13' Mac's (until Apple fixed it) however I haven't been able to find information regarding the same problem on a 15' Mac. Thanks in advance!

Mine isn't new model of retina mbp.
Now I'm re-installing 10.9 and I want to try it for some times.
However my mac is out of warranty and if it is a hardware problem there are no solutions for me (logic board change costs $1.000 or so).
After reinstalling 10.9, if I'll not resolve, I want to try to change thermal grease for GPU and CPU...

Help with conditional build expressions

I'm using RoboHelp HTML and creating WebHelp Pro layouts. I
want to create five (or more) different versions of the Help tool
for our various groups of users.
Here's what I'd like to do: Create a conditional build tag
for each of the versions (i.e. each of our groups of users). I
could name them as follows:
group1
group2
group3
group4
group5
Then, I would associate each topic with one or more of the
build tags. For example, topic1 may be for group1 and group2;
topic2 may be for group1 and group4. Etc.
The problem is thus: When I want to create the version for,
say, group1, my expression ends up excluding the other groups. In
the end, this omits any topics associated with group1 that are also
associated with the other build tags (i.e. the other groups).
Is there an expression I can use to prevent these topics from
being omitted? Perhaps the use of parentheses?
The only solution I've used is tedious: I create many build
tags--one for each variation. For example, I'd have a
group1group2group3 build tag, a group1group3 build tag, a
group1group4 build tag, etc. Then, I just associate one build tag
with each topic. When I'm creating a version for group1, for
example, I'd just include all topics with a build tag that includes
group1 (e.g. group1, group1group3, group1group2group3, et. al.). I
omit the others (e.g. group2group3, group2group4,
group2group3group4group5...et. al.).
As you can imagine, this solution is problematic. First, I
have to create and keep track of many many build tags. Then, if I
want to create another version of Help, I need to change all the
build tags to include this new group.
I'm sure there must be a better build tag expression for what
I'm trying to accomplish. Please help! Thanks!

There is indeed an expression! Unfortunately, the option is
normally hidden, so it can be tricky to find. Here's what you do:
1. Define the build tags.
2. Apply them to your topics. OVERLAPPING IS ENCOURAGED! That
is to say, you can assign tag1, tag2, and tag3 to a single topic.
3. Right-click the desired layout and select Properties.
4. Click the Define button to the right of the Conditional
Build Tag drop-down menu. The Define Conditional Build Tag
Expression dialog will appear.
5. Click the Advanced button. The Advanced area will appear
at the bottom of the dialog.
6. Select a tag from the Available Conditional Build Tags
drop-down menu.
7. Click the Add Tag button. The selected tag will appear in
the Conditional Build Tag Expression display window.
8. Click the AND button.
9. Select another tag from the drop-down menu.
10. Click the Add Tag button.
11. Repeat steps 8-10 for each tag you wish to add to the
expression.
12. Click the OK button to close the dialog.
13. Click the Save button to save your layout with the new
build expression.
That's it! The trick is to use the ADVANCED button in the
Define Conditional Build Tag Expression dialog. Doing so allows you
to build inclusional expressions rather than exclusional
expressions, so you can avoid the hassle you described in your
post. Using this method, I defined two build tags (A and B) and
applied them to three topics as follows:
* Topic 1: Tag A
* Topic 2: Tag B
* Topic 3: Tags A and B
I then defined an expression that simply included tag A. When
I compiled my help, topics 1 and 3 appeared in the output, but
topic 2 did not.

Power on-off-on Problems with New Build Z68A-GD65(G3)

I'm hoping someone has seen these issues and can help me, although I realize this is a vague issue. I'm working on a new build. On power up everything looks good but then I get a power off and back on (like a reset). Sometimes it happens very quickly; other times it will stay on for roughly 5-10 minutes before the reset. I've checked all the connectors, case wires look ok, BIOS info looks correct.
The other issue is that when I tried to do the Win 7 install, it loads the files, goes to the "Starting Windows" screen, and freezes there (until the next power off problem shuts things down).
Any ideas on what to try to narrow things down? Seems like it almost has to be the power supply or motherboard?

Quote from: Henry on 28-October-11, 09:54:40
You have more than a Z68A-GD65(G3), please list he rest of your components. See my signature below for example of what to list.
>> Posting Guide <<
I've disconnected everything but the mouse, keyboard and monitor and still have the power resets.
Tried one memory module at a time... still fails.
Played with lower memory freq settings... still fails.
Finally pulled the MB out, bench tested it to rule out shorting in the case; tried it with and without other peripherals... still fails.
I think I'll RMA the MB, although I suppose it could be the psu (unlikely, I'd think).
I had two bad motherboards in my last build. I had hope that MSI would be better...

Help! Blackberry 8330 keeps freezing.

I plugged my blackberry into my computer to charge and this morning I was in a rush to get to college when I just pulled the cable out and forgot to eject it. (Yeah, I know, very smart move) Now when I tried to call someone I found that it was frozen. Only the Alt and Shift key works. I tried removing the battery leaving it out for a minute and putting it back in. It gets to the Security bar then freezes. The only time it does work is when I take the SD card out.
Is this just a problem with the SD Card? Will I just have to get a new one?
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Options > SMS > Number of previous items, set that lower to like 2 or 3
Then, With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot.
Now see if that helps some.

Can any one help with new iOS 7.1 update?

Hello,
I have recently downloaded the iOS 7.1 update and it has being causing problems with the iPhone 4s. The problems are as follows;
No Wi-Fi connection all, and in full range of a connection (If and when I connect its for 10 seconds and gone again)
Battery Life depleting quickly
iPhone freezes constantly
iPhone getting extremely hot when not in use.
Is there anything that I can do that can help with this or will I have to wait for the next iOS update?
Kieran

If I restore as new without the backup & everything seems to be fine, I assume I would then have to restore it from my latest backup in iTunes in order to get all (or at least most) of my data back.
From what I have read, it looks like at least the music I have on my iPhone 4S that I put there from a CD I own would not be in my backup. That is not a major problem, since it is only 1 CD.
It also seems like the iTunes backup is more complete than the iCloud backup (I do have both).
So, I should probably be restoring from that backup.
Is there anything else that is not backed up in an iTunes backup that I should consider before I do that?
When I backup in iTunes (or even in iCloud), some items not backed up?
Wouldn't I then have to re-install those items that are not in my backups?
I have a Medical app from my local ambulance operator where I have taken a ton of time to input all of my medical information going back numerous years. I just got tired of some medical person constantly asking me for information one never really makes a point of remembering. Now, I have all of that information in my iPhone 4S.
There is no way I would want to reinstall that app & re-input all of that information again.
I also put a lot of "lists" in the Notes area on my iPhone 4S.
I understand that is also something that is not backed up.
These are just 2 examples.
I also have other items that I am under the impression also are not backed up.
Losing any of that information would be a huge burden to recover.
I am willing to take a chance with some items that are not backed up to either iTunes nor iCloud.
But, knowlingly doing something that may lose that information is not something I am willing to do.
OR, am I just not understanding what is and is not backed up in iTunes or iCloud & what I could potentially lose?

Help! i tunes keeps freezing

Ok - first of all i am new to all of this...been using a PC and just gone to an I mac.So be kind! Basically any advice on a very simple question but it is driving me mad..I have been happily using i tunes but today it opens up and then keeps freezing. the coloured circle keeps spinning round even when just trying to play a song. Even after a force quit it just keeps on doing it. Yesterday it was all totally fine. Any thoughts?...i haven't exactly given a great deal of info there have I?..

Welcome to AD!
First off, get the Sony Content Watcher software sorted on your Vaio. It seems to deliberately conflict with the itunes library database file.

New imac keeps freezing.

I've had my new imac for 4 days and every day it keeps freezing this is normally on a screen saver or front row, I have tried force quit but nothing seems to help and in the end have to restart my imac, I have also done clean install but it is still keeps freezing up.
Any help would be appreciated.
Mikey.

We have a few threads on this now.. So its certainly a significant issue I feel.
But to repeat what I said in another thread recently (because my iMac does this too).. I don't think it is a heat issue. I've checked system temps and although warm.. They are nothing out of the ordinary.
Plus, my iMac has locked up very soon after being turned on, when it could not have heated up so fast anyway. Plus it will still lock up if I use 3rd party software to ramp up the fan speeds more.
I could be wrong of course, but that is my hunch..
I've run hardware tests, including Apples own and Techtool tests. Multiple times even. And they have never shown any faults. I also eliminated any possibility of bad ram, by removing the apple supplied ram altogether and substituting for another chip, but still it locks up.
For those of you who's new (mid 2007) iMacs suffer this, you should find that most of the time, there is an error/crash log generated in the console under the system logs heading.
The logs will be big, but it may well be worth posting them up here, because someone smart enough should be able to decipher them and tell us what the problem really is. Im no techy, but what I have seen so far doesn't suggest anything obvious, but looks like lots of memory addresses? Another user in a different post reported the same thing. So I may post one up later..
So far, im leaning towards some software issue rather than any hardware defect. In which case an update should fix it. But again, thats just my opinion and semi-educated guess!

HELP...iMovie keeps freezing...

How big is too big for a file on the old iMovie...I'm working on a Team Highlight Tape at a High School and the banquet is only a few days away...I have a 35 minute video complete with transitions, music, everything...It's fantastic, only now it wont play properly and keeps freezing up...Everything has been rendered as best as I know...
Is it simply too large of a file with videos and music??? (I do have 76GB available according to the bottom of the iMovie Folder)
HELP...Thank You...

I have had a similar problem and found the skipping, jerky playback (images, not audio) happened only with certain downloaded audio tracks (there must be code or something embedded in some music, even if it is downloaded from iTunes; this happened consistently with the group Hapa). My cue that this was going to happen was the length of time it took to download a selection from my iTunes library. Most tracks take less than a minute - but Hapa, for instance, took 4 or more! The music would play fine, but my video was erratic. All I had to do was change the music and everything would work fine.

Brand new i7 keeps freezing

I have had my brand new imac for less than a week, and it keeps freezing up at least 2 to 3 times a day while using Aperture 3 free trial or just using Safari. I have to shut it off completely using the power button. What should I do?

Shouldn't need to on a brand new machine, but try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them. Disk Utility's Disk Repair is not perfect and may not find or repair all directory issues. A stronger utility may be required to finish the job.
After that Repair Permissions.
No need to report Permissions errors....we all get them.
If that didn't help try a new post in the Intel-based iMac forum.
This forum is for the much older iMac G4's.
