Just received my GS60 2QE-040XFR: Big issues/Looking for help

Hello,
I just received my GS60 ghost pro without any OS. Installed Win 8.1, drivers available in the hard drive, anti virus... and slowly but surely started having more and more BSOD (several types of error codes). At the same time, the laptop started having issues to reboot: looks like it's powering up during 1 second, then turning off, then trying to turn on 2 seconds after, turning off, etc... On the first tries it was able to boot onto the Win 8.1 from time to time (to have some more BSOD), now it's over, it can do that for minutes so I am not even trying anymore.
So I started looking on the internet for possible solutions, and my guess is that I have 2 different issues, I'd like to have some input about the community as I am quite new to MSI hardware:
Issue #1-The regular BSOD may come from the Killer Lan drivers. It looks like they have a some bad reputation, and I believe I started having BSOD as soon as I installed them. I'd like to format/install a new fresh Win 8.1 and not install this drivers anymore, unfortunately I cannot because of issue #2. Anyway, can anybody advice? If you believe the issue is coming from these drivers, is there any proper way to delete them and install better ones? which ones then?
Issue #2-Unfortunately for this one I believe I cannot do anything but sending the laptop back to MSI. My guess is that the laptop is not even able to reach the BIOS when booting. I'd like to clear the CMOS but I would need to open the laptop, which would end the warranty... Does anyone believe there is a possible workaround here?
Hope someone can help...
Sorry for my poor english, that's not my native language.

Not sure if you are able to enter the OS now, but I'll still suggest you go to MSI's website to update your drivers.
http://www.msi.com/support/nb/GS60-2QE-Ghost-Pro.html#down-driver
If all of the drivers are the latest ones, you can press CTRL+ALT+DEL to open Task Manager and go to Startup page to disable Killer Manager and restart again to see if it resolves the problem.

1st generation MacBook, battery and Leopard issues; looking for help please

I have a 1st generation MacBook that started having battery problems immediately after installing Leopard. it was the same issue many others have complained about; battery life shortened and shutting down while on battery power with no warning. I have never had that problem while using Tiger. I experienced this with both 10.5.0 and the stand alone upgrade of 10.5.1 using an erase and install method.
(BTW, as a side note: I'm religious about calibrating my battery every month and use a program called "CoconutBattery" to document the results. Prior to Leopard, the battery measured 97-99% capacity. Three days after Leopard was installed it was time for another check, the result was 74% capacity.)
I had a clone backup of Tiger and immediately restored my MacBook, but the problem followed Tiger. I have Applecare and called support. Both myself and the tech found it rather hard to believe that the battery just suddenly failed coincidentally after the Leopard install. We went through the regular things; SMC reset, firmware checks, diagnostics, repair permissions, etc.
We believe it has to do with the Battery Updater package. I had gone between both versions of 1.2 and 1.3, but the problem remained with both Tiger and Leopard. The tech decided to send me a new battery (it's on the way) and I wish to try installing Leopard again. As long as I have my cloned Tiger image, all I have to lose is my time, but hopefully, not another battery! I would honestly like to get Leopard running on this machine.
But... here's my question. In reading through these discussions in both the Leopard and MacBook forum, there doesn't seem to be any consensus of which BatteryUpdater package to use. The Apple tech honestly told me he didn't know. Also, if the BU package "writes" to the battery (which it states it does), can it be downgraded once v1.3 has been installed? I mean, should I leave the battery out, install Leopard, then manually update BU to v1.2 before installing the battery (if possible)? I do plan on testing the new battery with my Tiger install, just to verify it is working as it was before.
There are a lot of people here claiming to be knowledgeable about Leopard, never had any problems with a variety of machines, etc, etc, so I would appreciate your input. Please don't speculate, but if you're using a version of BU that works with Leopard and your 1st Gen MacBook, I would appreciate you telling me about it. I have tried to document and methodically relate everything I've done so far, but if you need additional information, just let me know.
I noticed Leopard had installed BU v1.3 when I checked it, so it must use that as default, since I noticed Tiger had v1.2.
OR, am I way off base on this? Can anyone think of another reason I may have had this problem? Am I barking up the wrong tree by concentrating on the BatteryUpdater package? Is it possible all these batteries are failing under a Leopard install maybe due to some unknown reason?
Any knowledgeable advice or suggestions are welcome, thanks!

Well, Ding Dang y'all... it appears the battery was the culprit. I received my replacement battery from Apple and followed the same steps and everything seems to be working fine.
It sure was strange that the battery started this problem immediately after Leopard was installed... I don't know what to say about that, unless BatteryUpdater v1.3 started the chain of events.
In case it helps someone else, here's exactly what I did (rebooted through each step):
- Backed up data; unauthorized computer from iTunes
- Erase and install from the Leopard disc, while keeping the old battery in
- Installed Leopard, did software updates except for delta 10.5.1 update
- Applied combo update of 10.5.1 from separately downloaded file
- Found BatteryUpdater Bundle (BU) of v1.3, moved to trash, rebooted
- Ran software updates, BU v1.2 was found and installed
- Then, swapped out battery to new battery
- Tested unit, seems to be okay now, no shutdown issues, battery runtime seems normal
Thanks to all that had advice and suggestions. It was enough to get me to try it again. Now, I have two more machines to upgrade, since these are production machines, I'll probably wait awhile. But, having this is a real treat.
Have a great holiday everyone!

Nw8440 northbridge issue, looking for the right mobo replacement

hi,
i'm my nw8440 mobile workstation (T7400, FireGL V5200, 15.4" WUXGA) seems to have some northbridge issues and i'm looking for mobo replacement.
As i can read from "Maintenance and Service guide" it does share the same mobo (SPS 416397-001) with nc8430 and nx8420. But is it really the same? Because my nw8440 is equipped with a soldered gpu FireGL V5200 instead the other ones have a X1600.
thanks,

I have just got a mini ipad and I am looking for best deal on a pay as you go basis, ideally useage up to 90 days

I have just purchased a mini ipad and am looking for a pay as you go connection, not a contract and would like something for up to 90 days. Can anyone advise me which is the best deal. I live in Falmouth Cornwall UK and some services are limited. I can get Three where I am and it seems I can get 3 Gbs for about £20 which lasts 90 days and I think I can get O2 for 90days, that is 5 Gbs for I think about £30. - though it seems that the coverage may not be great. Can anyone suggest any better deals or have any ideas please

The Everything Packs only include UK calls, text & data. So if you have no credit you won't be able to use it abroad. Once you top up you will be able to call & text from abroad, but no data for which you will need a Euro add-on.

MacBook Pro not connecting to school internet! Big Issue! Please Help!

My school uses a service called solutionip.com. When you move into the dorms they give you a code to access the internet from. When you connect to the wireless network and try to use the internet, it automatically takes you to a solutionip website and asks you for your access code. My Mac originally did this, but then all of a sudden it stopped working. It doesn't automatically pull up the webpage, and even when we do get the webpage up. None of the codes we enter work, it begins to take the code and gets stuck in the process and eventually times out. The codes won't take at all. And they've all been new codes created for me by the school! I've done everything and my latest attempt at fixing this even had me delete everything in my computer to start over again! I'm going crazy here! I don't understand why my computer would do this! At first I thought it was Lion that I had installed and now I've restored my new MacBook Pro w/the iCore chip in it back to Snow Leopard. I'm going to try it tomorrow with snow leopard, see if that works. But if not. I'm at a loss. Any suggestions anyone? It's the only way I can get internet through the school. Sigh.

If you're doing everything right then it's an issue you need to take up with either the IT at your school and/or solutionip.com

Looking for help, strange powermac issues

I have a apple powermac g5.
When I power the unit on, there is no chime and the fans turn on like full blast. The unit does boot into MAC OS but freezes at the logon aas soon as you move the mouse. The motherboard is brand new and was replaced by a mac tech when we had one here at our shop. When I try and boot to a CD by holding C I get this display.
Apple Powermac 7, 2 5. 1.5f0 BootROM Built on 02/16/04 at 13:01:10
Welcome to open firmware, the system time and date 21:21:07 01/02/1904
to continue booting, type "mac-boot" and press return
to shut down, type "shut-down" and press return
release keys to continue.
The unit also doesnt always open/eject a disc it is actually really hard to get to open but even once I do get it to open it wont boot to a disc.
The other wierd thing is certain monitors I hook up to it while plugged in even if I power the unit off, the white light in the front stays on and if I unplugg it then the light goes out. As soon as I plug the monitor back it the computer turns on by itself. Not all the monitors I have here do this.
Any advice would be great, I am not currently certified but Im helping the one who is at our shop, we are a apple certified service center at a compusa, and we have a gsx login. Just trying to see if anyone might know what issue could be causing all this.

you need to restart your computer. Hold down the power button for several seconds or press the restart button.Then it has it in chineese or something.
You are having a kernel panic on startup:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107061
The fans will blast during a panic, or other operational error so as to protect the CPU's from overheating. As well, a CPU caught in a kernel trap will be running full power, which prompts the appropriate cooling response.
Since the motherboard was replaced, unless the machine has been thermal calibrated, the machine will blast the fans. Has thermal calibration been performed?
Will the machine do a safe mode boot (hold shift key on startup)?

Old issue, looking for simpler solution

This is about the familiar, "I-had-my-logic-board-replaced-and-now-Time-Machine-is-confused" issue that has been covered in older posts. Forgive me if this seems redundant. Before I proceed with the solution described here:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080128003716101
I was curious if someone here or even Apple (what a concept) has come up with a more "elegant" solution that allows one to continue using the "pre-logic board replacement" back-ups. Posters here and on MacOSX Hints have explained very concisely the cause of the problem, so the underlying cause is clear to me. I'm just a nervous about making a typo in the Terminal that will rear it's ugly head down the road. I looked around for an Applescript or utility that might do the voodoo for me, but came up empty.
TIA

Possible JGROUP Issue - Looking for recoomendations

Customer analyzed a heap dump taken on custom application...this heap dump was taken just before they ran into memory issues on this instance.
Please provide recommendations....
Observations:
1.     Total heap size is about 1.6GB.
2.     Out of this, 620MB is occupied by 35 instances of org.jgroups.stack.NakReceiverWindow … the number 35 looks to correspond to the number of application instances. Looks like JGroups is creating this object for each instance is it communicating with.
3.     Almost all of the space within a NakReceiverWindow object is occupied by delivered_msgs, which is a TreeMap object. There are 20K to 50K delivered messages within each NakReceiverWindow.
Analysis:
1.     It would make sense if JGroups was the cause of OOM errors because these errors started to happen more frequently after customer added more app instances. More instances mean more intercommunication between nodes, more NakReceiverWindow objects …
2.     This happens sporadically
Any ideas ?

Hi 818689,
I would be quite interested to review this Heap Dump but you did most of the analysis work already.
The question to ask with these types of issues is whats the trigger(s)?
You seem to have identify it: vertical scaling. Adding more instances within a cluster means each of the cluster node objects must be replicated across the other cluster members. However, as overall platform traffic/load remain unchanged, the impact on the Java Heap footprint should be minimal (client session overall remain unchanged). Still, depending on how your application is leveraging the JGroup caching service, a static Java heap footprint increase is to be expected post vertical scaling exercise.
ex: if your application is using a static caching object with footprint of 20MB, then replication across all your 35 cluster nodes means in-memory footprint requirement for full redudancy is 35x20 = 700MB.
What type of object is replicated across your cluster?
This is why I normally recommend to my clients to be careful with vertical scaling and to avoid cluster replication (Http Session, EJB objects etc.) with more than 20 nodes, again this is case by case depending of the application behaviour and footprint. You may also want to analyse the other Java Heap contributor but the recent vertical scaling appear to be the trigger, root cause being JGroup object replication across all 35 node members.
Recommendations:
- Analyse the other 1gig of Java Heap for any other major contributor
- Try to take few Heap Dump snapshots (depending of ur JDK version) and see if JGroup object is growing (leak) over time or fairly static
- If footprint cannot be reduced, then you may have to consider increasing your Java Heap (proper caution as this will add overhead to GC process) to give you enough buffer; assuming you are not facing any Java Heap memory leak
- Look at JGroup tuning and possiblity persisting the replication node objects on the disk. This would reduce your Java heap footprint but at performance cost of loading/unmarshalling the object from disk to memory
- Another approach would be to breakdown your cluster in half down to maximum of 15-20 replication nodes. This approach would still provide you with full redundancy and keep your Java Heap at a reasonable size

Wifi Connectivity issues - looking for insight

Hi everyone,
Given the breadth and variety of wifi-related issues on this forum, I was hoping to find a topic that resembled the issues I am currently experiencing. Alas, I was unable to find a solution.
Recently (I noticed on Friday, Dec 18), I have been unable to connect to the internet wirelessly through AirPort. For months now, I've been connecting without problems to my work wireless network (WPA2 Enterprise), and home wireless network (WPA2 Personal) but only recently have both suddenly stopped working. My initial diagnosis was that it was related to a recent software update that I allow OS X to deal with weekly, but if I recall correctly it was a *Java-related update*.
The symptoms, if they might be of use, are as follows:
➔ Airport can see any available wireless networks, secured and unsecured
➔ Preferred networks it can connect to automatically, it will say it's done so (ie. Airport's connectivity icon at the top-right of the screen *shows 4/4 bars for connectivity*, clicking on the wifi icon shows a check mark next to my work network, which is secured)
➔ When I open Network preferences, the Status (using Work network as an example) reads "Authenicated", with subtext "Authenicated via PEAP (Inner Protocol: MSCHAPv2) with a connect time that appears to function normally (ie. it isn't resetting unless I turn off airport and turn it on again)
➔ While the status reads "Authenicated", the Airport icon at the left side of the Network panel reads "Not connected" with an unpleasant red globe clearly signaling that despite the right side of the panel's deceptive text, I have sweet nothing
➔ *Other forms of network connection do not seem to be affected*. Currently, my iPhone is connected to my MBP via USB and is allowing me to write this post via Tethering. I have not tried an Ethernet connect but I would assume that it works at this point.
➔ my computer hardware should be displayed with the post's meta-information
I would prefer a solution that isn't "just update to Snow Leopard," but I'm open to and grateful for any advice offered. I have tried solutions such as this one (http://jkontherun.com/2009/12/13/macbook-firmware-update-kills-my-bluetooth-wi-f i/), but with no success. Simply turning off AirPort and turning it on again has also not been successful.
Thanks in advance. If I can answer any more questions that might assist with the problem, please don't hesitate to ask.

That has to be one of the best written posts describing the problem. Nicely done.
The first thing I would try is to go into System Preferences->Network (under Internet and Wireless) and then select Airport on the left pane. Once there, select the Advanced button on the lower right side.
There, you should see a listing of all the wireless networks your computer has remembered. Delete them all. This will clear out all the stored network settings for each network you've joined.
Once you've done that, rejoin your home network. Then go back to the advanced tab and make sure that the TCP/IP settings are correct and you've been assigned an IP address. Then check the Proxies section. If you do not use proxies, make sure nothing in there is checked (you probably don't use them at home).
I would also try a wired ethernet connection. If that behaves in the same manner, then the issue is somewhere else. If not, then the problem is isolated to the Airport card and may require a trip to the Apple store for further help.

I have an itunes TV show which does not show up on my Macbook. Other TV programs do, and 3 new TV programs which I just downloaded also transferred. What do I look for?

I have the BBC series Sherlock Season 1 which I downloaded to my iMac. The first 2 episodes show up on my Macbook, but the third does not. As long as I turn off my Macbook, the 3rd episode will show up and play on my Apple TV. I just downloaded Season 2 to my iMac, and all 3 episodes of that season did transfer to my Macbook. But I cannot get Season 1, episode 3 to transfer. My music and photos work fine. Any ideas? My iMac is running version 10.6.8, and the Macbook is on 10.7.4, and both are on 10.6.3 of iTunes.

HTML5 not working on iPad, multitude of issues, looking for solutions

Hello,
I'm trying to test the possibility of publishing trainings to HTML5 for use on iPad or iPhone. In our first test, we put the HTML5 publish up on an LMS and accessed it through an iPad and iPhone. Via the iPad we used Safari. This is what happened:
First three slides did not appear (first has a single image, second has an f4v video, third has an f4v video).
We had narration throughout which did not play at all. Audio files are in WAV format.
Overall very slow
Crashed on one slide
Slow navigation on the Table of Contents.
Any suggestions about why we may be having these problems? Should we be using a different browser? Conver the F4V videos to something like MPEG or AVI? Anything helps, thanks.

Capturing issues looking for timecode break

I am using FCP 4.5 and capturing onto a G raid Sata drive. But the capture process is very fragmented it keeps taking in about 20 seperate clips per 40 min role of DV. The message that comes up in the capture window says it is searching for timecode break but there is not one on the tape.
Any tips?

Strange maybe, but as a shooter, I've seen material show 'timecode' breaks on footage I've shot, knowing there was no break in tape....occasionally within a rolling shot. (JVC GY-DV500 camera)
Could be the camera not laying a strong timecode signal...I've read that Canon's are notorious for this, though I've not experienced it myself...yet.
Turning the camera off/on is very likely a culprit here. Not to be condescending, but here are my camera procedures to eliminate timecode breaks...not that you don't know this already...
- Get in the habit of always rolling 5 sec. of tape before action starts and 5 seconds of tape after action ends.
- Try not to turn the camera off.
- Try not to do 'searches' on tapes that are being recorded on.
- If the camera is turned off, or you need to search back into the tape, make sure you do NOT roll past the end of the last recorded frame...preferable stop a couple of seconds prior to the last recorded frame, and begin recording there.
- If your camera is capable of generating Bars, try to record 10 seconds of bars in between scene or location changes.
-if you have to pop the tape out of the camera at any point, follow the above listed practice of cueing up to a couple of seconds prior to the last recorded frame, and start recording there to pick up continous timecode.
-Really, really try not to... (IOW - DON'T) use 'free-run' timecode. It will make editing an absolute nightmare...particularly for NLE's.
not sure what mac os extended means
This is how the drive is initially formatted. Often drives are designed to work with PCs and MACs. If you drive is not formatted Mac OS Extended, you could see abbreviated captures as well...among other problems...
start/stop detect
This will take a long capture and place markers at the points the camera stopped/started rolling, allowing you to create subclips from the original long clip...Main Menu/Mark/DV Start/Stop Detect...the camera must have an internal clock running, and not all cameras support this feature.
Hope that helps,
Kevan

Font Issues, Looking for clarification

Good Morning,
I am trying to insert pages into a manual. The pages I am inserting are CAD drawings that were created with AutoCAD Civil 3D and printed to pdf.
1) Drawing #1.pdf
2) Drawing #2.pdf
Sometimes when I add the drawings to a new pdf using the insert command, the fonts mess up and show little squares instead of a random letter, such as f or ".
There are about 100 drawings to insert. Can anyone explain what is going on here? Or some settings to check? I thought PDF was supposed to be portable document format.
I have tried a few things such as:
#1 Embed font, #2 Non-embedded font, this makes squares.
#1 Embed font, #2 Embed font, this does not make squares. (Font is the same, ArialMT)

I was hoping to avoid having to reprint all the drawings, in the future I'm going to embed fonts in anything I do to prevent this from happening again. It is frustrating as you will be inserting drawings (from other users) and everything looks good. Then when you insert the 99th drawing, it messes up 30% of the previous drawings fonts.
Anyway thanks for the input.
-JK
