K7t Pro 2a problem (it boots and after 1 hour it stops)
Hey,
Since 1 week now I have a problem with my MSI K7T Pro 2a mainboard.
When I'm working the first hour(s) my pc works ok, but at a certain moment I hear a 'whistle' (somebody told me it's a condenser that works bad). When that sound is over (in less then a minute) my pc stops working.
The only way to shutdown my pc is to press the powerbutton for a couple of seconds.
When I press the powerbutton again it wont boot anymore. I could wait some time or I can unplug my pc and it works again for only 1 minute. After a couple of hours I can work further.
I check everything (powersupply, cpu, memory, hd) but I know for 100% that it is the mainboard.
I bought this on the 01/feb/2001.
Please help me.
Greets!

I pulled it and a 2nd capacitor which was also connected in parallel with it. They were 2700uf capacitors...according to my meter, one measured 8000uf and the other 4100uf. I assumed these were bad and replaced them. I did not have any 2700uf, so instead used some larger 4400uf I had. I assumed these are bulk capacitors for power regulation and the size wasn't too critical. I still have the same problem. This did not fix it. Machine is behaving the same way. I'm getting close to giving up.
Can you tell me what you mean by condenser?

So here it is again.
"I am transfering my stuff from my lap top to my desk top (both Mac). I cannot get my CS4 to open. It gives me a 150:30 error, licencing thing. I have no idea what to do and after hours of searching none of what I found helps. I don't know anything about this stuff so please don't answer with "maybe this willl work, or maybe that." I need a real answer please and I cannot find a way to actually contact Adobe. I also don't have a disk drive on this Mac. Thanks"
Also please feel free to e-mail the answer because I hate looking for these answers online. It takes me forever to find this section. Not that I have even even gotten a real answer.
[email protected]Hi Sonia,
While transferring Adobe from laptop to PC the licensing files got corrupt and the right way to use Adobe Applications is to install first as transferring from a different machine can give you problems.
You can try steps from this article if that helps otherwise you have to reinstall and manually delete some files , everything is mentioned.

[VIA] K7t pro 2, problem installing xp.
Hey guys, great forum. I have a msi k7t pro 2 board with an amd 700mhz thunderbird processor. I'm currently running 512mb of pc100 ram,an off brand 32mb video card, and a soundblaster live sound card. My problem i'm having is when I try to install xp, after it says hit any key to boot from cd, the keyboard stops responding. After it loads the setup files and gets to the point of "to install xp hit enter", the keyboard lights go off and I get no response whatsoever.
I have tried taking my sound card out. I tried swapping ram out of a good running computer after it was tested with memtest86. I have tried 2 different ps2 keyboards to no aval. I also tried a usb keyboard, in doing so I enabled the support for the usb keyboard in my bios; still didnt work.
I'm close to giving up on this board. I have tried several other forums, but no one could help me with this issue. My bios version is version 1.9. I seen that version 3.1 had a fix for the xp install. I'm pretty sure the answer is no, but is it possible to flash my bios to a newer version?
If anyone at all with any knowledge of my problem could help me out, I would be GREATLY appreaciated.Quote from: Sharp on 22-August-05, 01:13:39
Hello,
What video card are you using?
Try clearing the CMOS, using the jumper on the board.
Place it to the clear position and leave it there for 3mins.
Then put it back to the save position
And power the PC, reconfigure only your CPU settings/memory settings and boot order.
Then boot from the XP CD and see what happens.
Thanks a lot for your reply. Im not quite sure what video card I have but I guess it wont matter now. I did what u had suggested and it worked!!! You dont know how greatful I am that you got my computer going again. You are the only person who has actually had an idea as to what it might be. Who knew it was as simple as clearing the CMOS. I appreciate the help. Thanks a TON!! -
Macbook Pro 7.1 not booting up after Software update
Hello everyone,
I have a problem, but first some context?
I recently got my mom's old Macbook Pro(7.1) with Intel's 2.4 Ghz C2D and Nvidia 320M graphics. A small upgrade from my 2009 MBP(5.5) but is in much better shape than my old machine. In that unit(5.5) I used a 40 GB SSD as a boot drive and a 640 GB Platter drive for general storage, and removed the optical drive, as I did not use it very often.
Well, now I transplanted both drives into the 7.1 MBP, but the system will get stuck at the grey screen. I then proceeded to backup all my data, and wipe both drives multiple times and tried to installs on a clean system.
I replaced the aftermarket ram I had with the factory sticks, put the factory drive and the Super Drive back in. Loaded up Snow Leopard via DVD on an empty drive.
It boots and runs just fine. So I put in the SSD to try it out. It loads OSX Snow Leopard just fine again. I go do a software update to 10.6.8, and on reboot to finalize, I get stuck again at the grey screen. The progress wheel freezes, and I am stuck until I do a forced shut-down.
Safe mode gets me nowhere, AHT does not work, Verbose mode freezes after 10 seconds or so and I have also reset the SMC and the NV/PRAM multiple times.
I am at a loss. I have a nearly pristine MBP that for some odd reason will not work for me in the slightest, despite my best efforts at attempting to diagnose the problem.
Note that all componenents that I listed,(SSD, Larger HDD, Upgraded Ram etc.) All worked flawlessly in my previous MacBook Pro.
Does one hardware generation make that much of a difference for an OS and for upgrades that clearly work in other Apple devices?darkrider92,
I have the same model MacBook Pro as the one that you got from your mom. Were you able to install the 10.6.8 update successfully onto the factory drive? Were you using the factory RAM when you tried to install the 10.6.8 update on the SSD?
Have you checked the Web site of the SSD’s manufacturer, to see if there’s a firmware update available for the SSD?
You can download the 10.6.8 update outside of Software Update from Apple here; in case you need to try to install this update several times, running it from your local disk would be more convenient than waiting for it to download again. -
Problems with Booting and Reliability
Hi all I just recently purchased an AMD 64 3400 and an MSI K8T NEO mobo. First off I have had nothing but problems. This was an upgrade from an old Athlon 1700XP and a Gigabyte board so I expected some hiccups. First I had some boot problems from the start. That ended up being a PSU problem and I am now the proud owner of an Antec True Power 550. Boot problem solved.
Next I began experiencing stability problems. It started out being a stutter here or there during the occasional gaming session. It eventually got worse. Mostly freezes no hard crashes or BSOD.
Well it got so bad that the computer would no longer POST reliably. So began the long troubleshooting process. I have had some heat issues in the past so that is where I began. I cleaned up cables, re-routed several, and added a PCI slot fan. This made a smidge of improvement and I thought that my problem was video card related as my GeForce4 4600ti is beginning to show its age but I was even having problems surfing the internet.
Well after reading several post on these forums and the AMD forums I realized that my old DDR266 PC2100 RAM may be the problem.
When I purchased the system in spring 2002 I bought 512 megs of Samsung RAM according to the chips on the stick anyways (I admit I do not know the actual manufacturer of the stick). Well this did not seem to be enough for games such as Star Wars Galaxies so I bought another stick of DDR266 PC2100 512 megs (again not sure of the stick maker but the chips are Infineon). So this is where I began trouble shooting. I swapped wo sticks for one with no luck. Then I tried swapping the sticks and I got a POST beep (beepage good!) and the computer booted. So I thought problem solved. Well it would last for anywhere between 10 minutes and several hours before another freeze.
Well today I stopped into Worst Buy and picked up a stick of Crucial PC3200. With trepidation I plugged the stick in and no POST...nothing. With the Samsung stick I am able to get a proper boot about 10% of the time.
I have seen lots of posts regarding newer faster RAM and compatibilty issues with them. I dont see any problems with older RAM. My question is: Is my problem RAM related or am I barking up the wrong tree (tree...RAM stick...get it?). Even with the newer Crucial PC3200 I am still having problems. If anyone could assist me I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.Quote
next put ram in slot 1 and 3 if you onlly have 2 sticks.
try limiting ram speed to 333 see if that helps.
try using only one stick
disable onbaord stuff you dont need, l
i wasnt having much luck with onboard network , that was 1st to go.
ike parallel ports, if you have a usb printer,
if heat is an issue try running with case cover off.
unless your cpu cooler was not mounted well (rubed off thermal pad having trouble locking it). but i doubt that and would lead to more trouble checking , becuse you would have to remout with artic silver or something.
Well my original RAM is only 266 so the limiting to 333 wont help that. Using one stick is the only way that I can actually get the thing to boot at all but with limited reliability.
I run with the cover off constantly because I am constantly fiddling with the thing. I have taken the HSF off, cleaned it, put new paste on and replaced. My CPU temps have never been above 43 degrees celsius. I have replaced the stocker HSF with a Thermal Take Venus 12.
Thanks for the reply. -
CS6 Premiere Pro and After Effects have stopped working :(
After installing the AdobeCS6 I removed CS4 by using the Creative Cleaner Tool. Now Premiere Pro and After Effects don't work and windows wouldn't tell me what the problemm is. The rest of the CS6 is working fine apparently. Do I have to un-install then re-install all the CS6? Is it normal that the CC Cleaner tool do this? ... Thank you!
Advice around these parts is not to remove older versions after you install a newer one, because this is exactly what can happen. If you want to get rid of an older version, do that before you install the new one.
So yes, you may well need to reinstall. -
It asks me, in apple tv when I go to my "Library" to turn on home sharing. It's on. When I turn it off and back on I can access my itunes stuff fine for a day or two and then it doesn't work again. I've tried unplugging appletv, reboot the router (att uverse), and then plug in apple tv again and it doesn't help. it's still give me the message. the only thing that works, temporarily, is to turn off home sharing and turn it back on.
I'm using itunes version 10.5.0 on windows 7. can someone help me with this? I can't run up and down the stairs all the time. I have bad knees and other conditions that stop me from doing that. Please help.
Thanks.
Jim.Hey all,
I've been having similar problems so I put a packet analyzer on the network to see what's really happening. (Apologies in advance if this post is too techno-babbly...)
Some background:
How do Apple devices find each other over the network?
iTunes with home shaing turned on sends out a message to a special IP address called a multicast (224.0.0.251, in this case.) All your Apple devices listen to this multicast address and respond over that same address. This process applies to iTunes, AppleTV and Apple Remote at least (those are the things I've been testing with.)
How do Apple devices communicate with each other once they're found?
Once they find each other, they establish a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) communication session. This connection is only between two devices. In this case, iTunes and AppleTV or Apple Remote and AppleTV. The TCP session is how data gets transferred between devices.
The problem:
I captured the protocol traffic between my PC and AppleTV first with the firewall software turned off. In my case, I use Norton 360. What I see is iTunes and AppleTV communicating over the multicast address every 100 seconds. My iTunes usually 'disappears' from AppleTV and the Apple Remotes within about 5 minutes so I left the firewall off for half an hour and everything worked fine. I turned the firewall software back on and then restarted everything. iTunes then did the device discovery and all the devices found each other. Then, after a period of about five minutes of inactivity, the multicast discovery protocol stopped being sent by my PC. Why? I really don't know. From watching the apple protocol's timing, contents and behavior, I see nothing wrong with the implementation. I've done troubleshooting on other location-based multicast protocols for work and have seen some dumb things but Apple's protocol is done correctly and behaves exactly as I would expect.
The solution:
I put a rule into my firewall software explicitly allowing the multicast IP address and also the local subnet that my devices use. I then moved the new firewall rules to the top of the list to ensure that they will be 'hit' before any of the other rules in the list. After that, I left the firewall on and tested for a while then left everything idle for an hour. When I came back, everything still worked. I would suggest that replacing your firewall software won't necessarily help you here. You just need to make sure that the rules for the Apple stuff are put in manually and are at the very top so that another deny rule in the list doesn't trigger before the new permit rules. Hopefully it goes without saying but doing the above leaves your PC completely wide open on the local network so, if you use wireless, please be sure to use encryption on it.
Hope that helps... -
Problems with Booting Up after Apple Download
The other day I received a message via my software update program that Apple had a download available to update 10.4.11 (Security Update). I began the download and near the end I received an error message that the download could not be completed and to try again later. I have NEVER received this kind of message before in all the years I've been a Mac user downloading their updates. Bad symptoms began to happen immediately. The computer slowed down to a crawl and I decided to restart. For two days I was unable to boot up beyond the Apple logo and the spinning gear. Today I reinstalled Tiger and used the custom install/archive option. After installation, I was able to boot up again without losing anything. Good thing I use a memory stick to back-up files! Two things come to mind: 1) Could there have been a corrupted part of the Apple download that caused this problem ?; 2) Do I really need to store the "Previous System" on my hard-drive which takes up a tremendous amount of hard-drive space? I already removed Printer Drivers on the new system folder because I don't use a printer with my iBook. Any thoughts?

Consider that the problem may be with your system and not the update. If your system was corrupted prior to updating, then the update could make things even worse. Before applying any new system update you should do the following:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Even having improper permissions can cause a problem after a system update. If you did not use Software Update for the installation, then it's also possible you downloaded and installed the wrong version for your computer.
What you might try doing at this point is:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update. -
Why is my Macbook Pro very slow to boot and also everything else?
Hi,
When I start my computer, it remains at the silver screen with Apple logo forever. The startup boot is supremely slow.
Even while i am opening applications, the icons keep on jumping at the dock for a long time before the application starts.
The problem started about two months ago however it has worsened a lot recently. This is my etrecheck profile. Hope it helps. Any help will be appreciated.
My MacbookPro is very slow. Here's the Etrecheck report.

0 B Page-outsPlease uninstall "Cisco AnyConnect" and see whether there's an improvement. If there is, check to see whether there's an update, or preferably, use the built-in Cisco client instead.
Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
I never install system modifications myself, and except as stated in this comment, I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button. The uninstaller might also be accessed by clicking the Customize button, if there is one.
Back up all data before making any changes.
You will generally have to restart the computer in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, there may be no effect, or unpredictable effects.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software. -
MacBook Pro will not finsih booting up after Yosemite upgrade
I upgraded my 2013 MacBook Pro to Yosemite last night, but I encountered a problem when I tried booting up this morning. Whenever I turn my MacBook on, the progress bar slowly begins to load, and then it disappears and I see a grey circle with a slash through it, like a "not allowed" sign. Is there any way I can fix this? Please let me know. Thanks!
Hi Crystalmirror,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that it can be both frustrating and concerning when your computer will not startup as expected. In this situation I would recommend working through the troubleshooting steps in the attached article to help resolve the issue.

MacBook Pro graphics problem on boot
Yesterday my MBP ran out of battery while I was sleeping, so I guess it shut down, or hybernated (whatever). This morning it wouldn't "wake up", so I force shut it down - hold the TURN ON button. However, when I tried to start it again, it never worked. The graphics is all "low res", and I can't see anything. I don't know how to describe this, so I took a few pics of the booting process, and you can see them here:
http://individual.utoronto.ca/baniski/macpix.html
I tried flushing the ram, taking out the battery... nothing helps.
Any ideas?
Thank you
MBP 15.4", 1.83 GHz, 80 GB @ 5200 RPM Mac OS X (10.4.6) Boot Camp - Win XP Pro SP2I just got my laptop from service. They changed the mother board and the invertor (so I was told).
Apparently, the monitor got messed up due to a faulty invertor - that was sending more power to the LCD than it should have. This is now fixed.
As far as the screen closing improperly - they just ignored the problem with explanation that it can't close properly as its only locking in the middle, and its too wide - but I'm taking it back, as most other laptops i've seen close properly.
The overheating is a gone - now it warms up, but its not even close to what it was before.
The processor idle whine - its also better, although not fully gone (its funny that when I boot windows, its fully gone - it was like this before too tho).
Slowness - I don't see any improvement in speed - maybe if I take out the extra gig of ram that I have installed, it will be better than before the service, but right now there's no improvement.
Conclusion - if its faulty, take it to service. They can fix it, it won't cost a penny, and will be done in 3-5 business days. -
SATA problem at boot and resume: softreset failed (1st FIS failed)
Hi all,
Since a kernel update about a month ago, and an accompanying reboot, I've been seeing "softreset failed (1st FIS failed)" messages at boot time. These slow boot by twenty seconds or so and, at times, I see messages about reducing SATA speed to 1.5Gb/s. I see similar messages on resuming from sleep.
I want to know if this problem suggests HDD or SATA controller failure. Smartmon tools isn't showing problems with the drive, as far as I can tell. I don't know how to test the motherboard, controller or link speed.
So:
1) Is anyone else seeing this?
2) What is FIS?
3) What other tests can I do?
Thanks!I am having the same issue. This started after upgrading from kernel 3.16.4-1-ARCH to 3.17.1-1-ARCH.

Satellite Pro A300-28R: slow boot and freezing on Explorer/Internet
I have recently bought a Satellite Pro A300-28R and I am quite disappointed about the performance.
1) From the specs it looks like a decent laptop but with booting time of about 3 minutes, "please wait" it is surely not impressing me given the fact that i have not installed anything yet...
2) I will try to uninstall applications like tempro but still I am puzzled by the slow reaction on internet pages.
For example when i go on google and start typing something most of the times the cursor freezes and i have to wait a few seconds before I am able to see what i am typing.
I have only bought it last Friday and I have not used much but surely a bit of a disappointment so far.
Any ideas why the cursor freezes on google or on the internet explorer toolbar?
for info i am using Vista Business OS and Internet explorer
any help welcomeHello
About slow boot you can read very interesting and useful thread under http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=134947
I hope this will help you to understand why this can happen.
After first start you can be faced with this behaviour. Few days updates will be downloaded and installed in the background and you will notice high HDD activity. These activities can slow down notebook performance and what you can notice is this slow typing reaction or freezing video play.
So my advice is to disable automatic updates and set it when updates are available you should get notification but you can start it manually. These all possible vista updates installation is for me big mistake because if you check available updates many of them are optional and some of them are driver updates (3 of them) these updates must not be installed.
Maybe you should install recovery image again. don't connect it to internet and do what is described in posted thread. After optimizing preinstalled OS change settings for Windows update and connect it to internet. Check list of available updates and install important and recommended stuff only.
I do always so and I am happy with my Satellite P200 and new A300. Both of them runs well and I am satisfied with performance.
