Is the M2N78-LA motherboard prone to failure?

This is my second new thread posting in less than a week.  My first is here:http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware/bd-p/HardwareDPC Now my other HP Windows 7 PC  - a p6000 is also experiencing similar problems.  They both have the same mobo - M2N78-LA. On the pc6000 all I  get is the screen that displayes the BIOS, processor, CPU speed and the 4 memory banks. So far, so good. Then it says Initializing USB controllers..
DoneThen several blank lines before it says
Press <F10> to enter Setup
Then nothing... although sometimes after the 'Done' line it says
1st Drive: None
2nd Drive: None
3rd Drive: None
4th Drive: None
00 USB mass storage devices found and configured
befire going to a new screen where it says
Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot media in selected Boot device and press a key
Pressing any key just redisplays the msg.
What could possible be going on with these 2 nearly identical HP desktops with the same mobo?
Same results with a Windows 7 Home Premium CD in the drive.

Here are the specs for the p6310f and here are the specs for the p6310y. They have the same everything according to the specs... same motherboard (Violet6), same CPU, same memory, same HDD... same everything. Must be that one was sold Fry's (p6310f) and the other by Best Buy (p6310y)... cause the only difference is the last letter in the model name. As for being prone to failure... I have a two computers that use that series of motherboards, one with the Violet m/b and one with the Violet6 m/b and neither has failed in 2+ years of use. Frank

  • M2N78-LA Motherboard BIOS did not detect any Hard Drive

    Hi,
    I have M2N78-LA Motherboard and the BIOS did not detect ANY hard drive
    I tried
    1- Replaced the HD with another one.  did not work
    2- Changed the jumper of HD. did not work
    3- Changed the SATA data cable and power cable. did not work.
    4- Reset the BIOS by removing the battery and also by positioning the cmos jumber. did not work.
    I still all time get no hard drive detected, and some time jam on Detecting storage devices ....
    then after hours get no booting device.
    Any Idea will be good 

     M2N78-LA Motherboard BIOS  did not detect any Hard Drive, does anyone have an answer to this problem.

    HI, Im using Iphone 4 and i recently got my IOS updated to IOS7 and  now im getting the error message as "PDP authentication failure" Im using Aircel carrier.
    Please let me know how to fix this issue

    update...
    I am not one to give up. So I called AT&T today. Now they are telling me they canceled my order because they were unable to fulfill my order. Basically, AT&T told me they sold out so they canceled my order so I can proceed to reorder again. It took them 4 days to realize this. I will be lucky if I get a new phone by Christmas. I am sure they will find a way to cancel my order again.
    Again, I argued, how is this my fault. I placed my order at the store around 11 a.m. Pacific time. My friend ordered his phone online sometime after me. He got his but my order was canceled. AT&T tried to explain to me that they sold over 600,000 phones, almost 500 per minute during there peak. Again, I asked, how this was my fault.
    I can understand over selling the phone. It is a great product. There is no reason to cancel my order. You adjust my order and tell me you will let me know when my phone will be in. I would have been mad that my phone was going to be late but I would have survived. At least I would be getting one.
    At this point, I have no order and AT&T or Apple website will allow me to order one. I just want to get in the QUEUE for one.
    Frustrated.

    I replaced the hard drive, motherboard, and battery but now can not restore my Ipod 5th gen?  Error code 1416, any help?

    When I did a Google search on "1416 error ipod 5th," there is some discussion that the earlier version of the logic board only accepted 30 and 60 GB drives (or words to that effect), but the later "5.5" version did allow larger capacity drives.  If that info is true, the question is, do you have a compatible combination of logic board and hard drive?

    Hi Janiv,
    Below is a query that I believe should work for you. This query will do a sum when Type is 10 and an average when Type is 11:
                SELECT
                deh.name as NAME,
                deh.type as EventType,
                SUM(value) as EventCount,
                COUNT(*) as Occurrences
                FROM input as deh
                WHERE deh.type = 11
                GROUP BY deh.type, deh.name, TumblingWindow(minute,5)
                UNION
                SELECT
                deh.name as NAME,
                deh.type as EventType,
                AVG(value) as EventCount,
                COUNT(*) as Occurrences
                FROM input as deh
                WHERE deh.type = 10
                GROUP BY deh.type, deh.name, TumblingWindow(minute,5)
    Concerning Device_Id, currently, we do ask that the fields be consistent and explicitly provided for each and every event. We cannot look at a previous event and get a field value from there.
    I hope this answers your question,
    Thanks

  • Problem "The OLE DB provider for linked server reported an error. The provider reported an unexpected catastrophic failure Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider for linked server"

    hi
      i'd like to ask question about linked server.
      my linked server used to work but now when i try to select from linked server i was told "The OLE DB provider for linked server reported an error. The provider reported an unexpected catastrophic failure Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider
    for linked server"
      but in fact for test connection i was told "the test connection to the linked server succeeded".
      could  anyone help me? thank u very much
    best regards

    Hi, 
    In addition to Tracy's post we have to know those answers as well:
    * what provider are you using for the connection
    * what do you connect to
    for example, if someone try to connect to oracle using sql server provider then several simple queries are going to work probably OK, but once you are trying to use T-SQL or any complex SQL query then the errors are starting.
    please post the connection string (without the password!) + the query that you are trying to use.

    # Question
    When the program gets terminated unexpectedly (power failure, UPS fails), when I reopen it, it usually does NOT return the previous pages, as I have checked in the 'options' box, but goes to some random collection of pages often from months ago.

    Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    Do they launch OK while in Safe Mode?

I'm running Photoshop CS, on a Windows XP machine.   After re-booting the machine after an unexpected power failure I have been told that the "Configuration appears to have changed since the time this product was activated. To continue using this product I must re-activate it".  BUT the activation link informs me that they no longer support the product (neither online nor telephonically).  So how can I re-activate this software?

    After a week's worth of debugging, I found the issue.
    The Java type returned from the call was defined as ArrayList.  Changing it to List resolved the problem.
    I'm not sure why ArrayList isn't a valid return type, I've been looking at the Adobe docs, and still can't see why this isn't valid.  And, why it works in Debug mode and not in Release build is even stranger.  Maybe someone can shed some light on the logic here to me.

  • I can't read acsm files on my e-reader after transferring them from the pc with ADE. it seems to work, but then when I try to open the files on the e-reader it says "open failure". what's wrong?

    I can't read acsm files on my e-reader after transferring them from the pc with ADE. it seems to work, but then when I try to open the files on the e-reader it says "open failure". what's wrong?

    The acsm file is not the book, it is a ticket to get the book.  I sometimes get library books online, here is what I do.
    1. Start ADE on the computer
    2. Go to library website and find the book I want to download.
    3. Click on the download link
    4. In windows 7 a box opens asking whether I want to open( or run) or save the acsm file
    5. Click open/run and ADE downloads the book into the "Library"
    6. Transfer the book (epub file) to the reader.

  • Does the MSI 6340 Motherboard accept double-sided RAM?

    I have an MSI 6340M motherboard.  According to the manual, it supports up to two 168-pin unbuffered SDRAM DIMMs, and supports a maximum memory size of 1GB.
    Right now, I have two single-sided PC133 DIMMs loaded into the motherboard, which feature 128 MB each.  Seeing as how I only have a total of 256 MB of RAM, I was thinking of buying two 512 MB DIMMs to max out my computer's memory capabilities.
    I have been looking at RAM auctions on Ebay, and it seems that every 512MB stick of PC133 SD-RAM is double-sided.  I cannot find any specific information in the manual that I downloaded for my motherboard which indicates whether or not dual-sided SD-RAM DIMMs are compatible with the MSI-6340 motherboard.  Can you please tell me if they are?
    Also, even if my motherboard IS compatible with double-sided RAM sticks, will the double-sided nature of the DIMMs negatively affect how well my computer can process data?  Someone once told me that double-sided RAM sticks do not process information as well as single-sided RAM sticks, but I don't know if that advice is true, or to what extent.

    As long as the 512gig sticks are 64meg x 64 sticks, they should work.  Do not use high density memory.
    Here is a link to Crucial's web site where the memory stick is listed so you can gather more info on what will work.

    I really appreciate the fast sent solution about my failure to burn DVDs with Lion, but I am 89 years old and think I know something about computers, but don't have a clue about ZAPPing PRAM nor RESET SMC.  I also can't find any evidence of a preserved earlier OS (Snow Leopard).  I also don't know how to partition further my drive after all this time…(I used to have Parallels partitioned) but as I said I cannot find any where on the HD SN.  Is it possible that it doesn't exist anymore?  Not too technical, please, unless that is the only possible answer to this whole delemna..

    Blue colored text in these forums usually indicates a clickable link. The two I posted in https://discussions.apple.com/message/18789716#18789716 bring up Apple's articles on those subjects. For partitioning information, peruse Disk Utilities help files, especially
