K9N Platinum not booting up or showing any picture.

i had recently bought all my parts for a custom computer. i just received them 2 days ago. i got the k9n platinum motherbaord with an amd athlon 3800+ am2 cpu, ATi x1650 pro graphics card, Ultra 1024MB ddr2 533mhz ram, 320GB IDE hard drive, ide dvd burner, and a Raidmax Sagitta case.
the problem is i cant boot up into the bios screen. everytime i turn on the pc the monitor doesnt seem to show the computers there, just shows the amber light as if on sleep mode. first off i tried the mobo with just the cpu and graphics card, and still nothin. then the graphics card, cpu, and ram and no results. then just no ram, no cpu and no graphics card to test if the motherboard will give me a beep. i didnt get any beep whatsoever. i also tried this on multiple monitors and still no prevail.
any help would be appreciated

uhh how can i find out what the amps are? also im sure the ram isnt the problem since the motherboard doesnt even beep with or w/o memory... but who knows?? so i am somewhat narrowed down to the motherboard or the psu..
on the PSU sticker. (read +12V xx Ampers)
move your memory stick to the 1st orange slot DIMM3, close to the CPU socket.
remove power cord from the PSU, hit power button several time to drain caps electrify, touch with hands some metal for ES discharge, and Clear CMOS.
move jumper(JBAT1, green jumper near to the battery) to Clear Data position, wait 1 minute, then move jumper to the Keep Data position:
pull back power cord, ensure all power cables are connected to the mainboard.(24 ATX connector, 4pin JPW1, and 4pin HDD style JPW2) then turn on PC.
post back results.

I have no idea what may have caused your MacBook to stop working, but from your description it kind of sounds like it may have started before you ran Software Update and installed the new Apps. Just the general slow feeling and bugginess is what tips me off. You said that you weren't sure if you had closed all open windows, that doesn't matter if the computer restarts itself. It automatically closes all other open applications when restarting.
As to your data being retrievable, if when you take it in they do a fresh install of the OS, then no, it will not be unless you want to pay several thousand dollars to a software retrieval company.
I am glad to hear that you have taken into the Apple Store to get it fixed, and that you have all of your purchased music backed up to your iPod. You should be able to just transfer it all back to iTunes once you get your computer back should it be necessary.
As a side note, the proper place for this topic would probably in the MacBook forums, not iTunes since there is no evidence that iTunes started the issue.

My macbook, from 2009, doesnt show any picture in a piece of his screen

My macbook is from 2009 and now a piece from his screen doesnt show any pictures anymore. I went to a shop from Apple and they told me that its a contact problem and to solve this it will cost about U$700, thats almost the price from a new mac! Does that mean that I have to buy a new Mac every 4 years?
Has someone else the same problem?
How you solved this?

Hi there
The quote for 700 is outrageous. It could be as simple as a loose connection or something not terribly expensive as a new screen. Did they tell you exactly what was to replaced for that 700 dollar diagnosis? Unfortunately, Apple seems to charge you 50 dollars for a screw, no wonder they are doing so well these days. Your Macbook uses a screen made by a manufacturer who makes the same screens for Laptops made by other manufactures who make "PC" laptops. Depending on screen size,you could purchase the screen on Ebay for about 100 dollars. Thats what I did with my MacBook which had a 13.3 inch LG Philips LP133WX1 (TL)(A1) LCD screen. I put it in myself, which is relatively easy. The hard part would be to replace the CCFL bulb inside the LCD if that went, now thats a bit trickier, but that isnt the case here, you are replacing the whole screen. I would call around, but I can almost guarantee you that it would cost you less than 200 dollars total for the screen and a local computer store to install that screen. Call the local shop that specializes in mac first, then call a local PC shop for a second quote to have some leverage. Some places seems to charge double or triple if it has a Apple logo on it.
Good luck and let us know the outcome.

K9N Platinum, 4GB of RAM, XP shows 3.25GB

I have a K9N Platinum with 4 sticks of 1024MB Corsair. On POST it detects full 4096MB of memory. CPU-Z also shows 4GB.
However, in XP, right-click My Computer, properties, it shows 3.25GB of RAM.
Now, I did some googling and the solution to this seems to be that you must enable H/W memory hole remapping in the BIOS. However, the only option I see in my BIOS (v1.1) is Software Memory Hole. I have tried enabling and disabling this, but it has no effect -- XP still shows only 3.25GB.
So I guess I am wondering if there is a newer BIOS available that has the H/W memory hole option and hopefully that might solve my problem.
Any other suggestions or insights?

Win XP Pro (32 bit) will only show 3.25GB of RAM, the rest is then used as virtual memory (as far as i am aware) If you install 8GB of RAM, while in Win XP Pro (32 bit) it will only see 3.25GB. If it doesnt show that and you have installed more than 2GB, you may need to use the /3GB switch in the boot loader of Win XP Pro.
The BIOS should see the full amount of RAM anyway.

K8N Neo4 Platinum not booting

Hi I just moved my fully working K8N Neo4 Platinum based setup from one case to another, and now it's not booting. All fans are starting but the USB D-bracket 2 shows LED's 1 and 4 yellow and 2 and 3 red and the computer hangs. I can't seem to find this LED combination in the manual where it's only supposed to show green and red lights. Anyone got any idea of what's wrong?
Thanks

Okay I'll try to be more specific, the thing that makes me clueless is that the rig has been working flawlessly before.
CPU/Memory:
AMD Athlon64 Venice 90nm 3500+ 2.2GHz
2x512 MB OCZ DDR PC-4000 Gold VX (500 Mhz, 2-2-2-8)
I've tried unmounting every single component and mounting it back on again. I've tried both memory sticks in a single slot but no luck.
The PSU it's been running on is an Antec True380SP 380W (included in Antec Sonata case), yes 380W is a bit low so i tried a beefier PSU as well (Antec True430P 430W) with the same result.
Max Amperage:
Antec True430P 430W -- +3.3V = 28A, +5V = 36A, +12V = 20A
Antec True380SP 380W -- +3.3V = 28A, +5V = 35A, +12V = 24A
HDD:
Western Digital Raptor WD740ADFD 74Gb 10000rpm 16Mb cache SATA connected to SATA1
All fans power up, Power LED lights up and HDD powers up, but no VGA signal. I've reset CMOS and I've read through the stickies and tried the fixes there applicable to my problems, but no luck so far. Only thing I can think of that haven't tried is switching the CMOS battery.

Mac Pro will not boot from Leopard or any CD or DVD install disk

My Mac Pro wont boot from my Leopard install DVD. It never gets by the gray screen, then after several minutes the screen scrolls down black and says I need to restart my computer. I tried my Tiger install disk and it still wont boot from that DVD. Held down the "C", used "option" and selected DVD and still no boot. I can boot from one HD that has Leopard 10.5.8, but another HD with Snow Leopard 10.6.3 will not boot. The HD with Snow Leopard shows up as "EFI Boot" not the name I gave that HD when I startup using the "option" key. Any help would be appreciated.

At first I was just going to say it sounds like you have a bad optical drive, but then you had to go and say that it also won't boot from a HDD.
That just makes things a whole lot worse.
Start by removing the side cover and checking the RAM to see if any of the LEDs are lit up indicating bad RAM. Usually if there's any bad RAM found, it will just automatically disable that stick, but maybe yours isn't for some reason.
Look for any other LEDs that may be lit. Generally speaking, the only time you should see an LED (outside of the power LED) lit consistently is if there's a problem.
You should also see if you can get Apple Hardware Test to run, which may or may not find some problem.
But sorry to say, it's sounding very suspiciously like a bad logic board.
One other thing to try, is putting the SL drive into a different slot. So if you were putting it in slot 2, try slot 3 or 4. If you just have a bad SATA port, you might be able to just work around that until you get a new system.
If by chance this system is still under warranty, do not walk, do not pass go, do not collect $200, RUN to the nearest AASP or Apple store to make it THEIR problem to sort out.

IMac G4 will not boot. It shows only a gray screen, but without the spinning wheel.

Hi Everyone,
I tried to use my Imac G4 1.25Ghz today, after it had been stored for about a year.
It will only show the gray screen with the apple logo, but with no "spinning wheel"
I have tried "Command-Shift-P-R" immediately after pressing the power button, but nothing changes.
Searching on line leads me to believe it could be the internal battery. Is this likely?
If so, are all "half AA" Lithium batteries suitable? I have found the info for changing it on line, but would like some confirmation as to how to replace it.
If not, what else can I try? Please explain in laymans language if possible as I'm not a techy! (but have a friend who can help me if needed)
I can't remember what version of OSX it is running, other than it is Panther.
The install/restore discs say 10.3.2 (but I thought it was more recent).
Cheers
Tim

Although a dead internal backup battery could be the cause, you might first try reinstalling OS X:
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, Leopard or Snow 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 and/or Tech Tool Pro 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.

K9N Platinum (not SLI) Ethernet/LAN ports shut down

Not sure if this has been up before but i could not find this exact problem. I have the K9N Platinum with am AMD 64x 4200+ CPU and OCZ 1GB x2 mem. My build and install of XP went without incident. My problem is that when I start to download anything of size, the LAN shut down. It will say "cable unplugged". If I switch to the second port, it will be good for a while, then the same thing. The only fix is to reboot. I am connected through a switch. I loaded the latest drivers (nVidia) from the monitor software. I found a different set on the NVidia web site and installed, but now it will not pick up DHCP. It will work if I hard code the IP. I read that it should be using Realtek drivers, not Nvidia. Please help!!! I opened a case with support but they have not answered yet.

That is a start on Specs. You can look at anyone's signatuires here to see what is most commonly looked for in specs. Your are missing the PSU specs.
However one of the first things to try is to go into Bios and set optimized defaults. Then you will need to make sure nothing else in Bios has changed as setting Optimized defaults usually changes things quite a bit.
Then make sure that your using the drivers that came with the board including the NVidia and Network drivers.
You may have to enter Device manager and remove the Network Driver and let it restart.
You did answer one question many folks would have with the specs you gave about memory. The memory you have listed should be fine.

Computer will not boot up correctly in any mode.

Hello,
I have a Compaq Presario CQ62 with Windows 7 that will not boot up to my log in screen and it does not matter what mode I put it in..safe..etc. I have tried everything I know to do ...like system recovery in the recovery manager. I have no recovery disk or anything. Any help

That means the internal drive has failed, or there's some other hardware fault. What backups do you have?

Organizer will not show any pictures in My Catalog

I am a brand-new user to PSE. I have PSE 9 running on my iMac.
I tried to use the Organizer to import my photos from my SD card. It copied the photos just fine and put up the popup box saying that it was going to import the photos in My Catalog and did I want it to show only new files. I said yes. My Catalog is not showing ANY photos! I have tried optimizing and repairing the catalog. I tried reconnecting missing files and it says there are no missing files. I set it to View All Files.
I'm really at a loss here!

OK Problem SOLVED!
First, I reinstalled the software.
Secondly, I downloaded and installed the Camera Raw Plugin which will import NEF files.

Satellite A10-131 does not boot from Recovery or any other disk

I have a client who has a A10-131. I have had to reload the OS, but the new DVD-Writer will not boot the recovery CD or any other original Windows CD for that matter. Is anyone able to help with this problem. I need to find out what solution is possible with such a problem.
Thank You.

How did you try to boot from the drive???
Did you change the boot order in the BIOS???
Usually several boot possibilities are available.
1. You can press the C button immediately after notebook powering to detect the CD/DVD drive booting
2. you can use the F12 button to get the booting menu
3. you will change the boot order in BIOS to ODD firstly
But its interesting to know if your new ODD is compatible with the notebook

P6N SLI Platinum not booting after CPU change

I just upgraded the CPU in my machine with a P6N SLI Platinum motherboard from a E6700 to an E8500. I first upgraded the BIOS to 1.7 as the MSI page seemed to indicate that was a pre-req for this CPU. The machine was working fine for a day with the new CPU.
I changed the CPU in the machine and when I tried to boot, the lights on the motherboard came on as well as the fan, but no video or sound. In addition none of the diagnostic LEDs on the D Bracket light up. They had been previously working. Neither do the lights on my memory sticks light up.
I tried clearing the CMOS by hitting the switch but nothing. I am now going to try switching back CPUs but I don't have much hope that that is the problem given the diagnostic LEDs don't light. Does anyone have any suggestions as to a fix or is this motherboard fried?
P.S. Do you hit hte CMOS clear switch when the computer is off but the motherboard is charged? Or do you unplug the computer and wait for the internal orange light to go out as well too?

What is the QC number (by the cpu socket) is 01, 02, or 03?
See this thread for more:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php/topic,123486.msg932471.html#msg932471
Ah. Given I bought my P6N SLI Platinum 3.5 years ago when they first came out I imagine mine is one of the older versions that doesn't support 45nm CPUs by default. Is there a photo somewhere showing where the QC number is located exactly on this MB? It's probably located under my huge CPU heatsink and I'm not going to remove that for a third time just to check.
I really wish the MSI CPU compatibility page mentioned that. It would save me a lot of time. It's not worth my time and effort to dismantle my PC, send them the MB and wait for them to send me back a compatible one.
I verified the BIOS upgrade by looking at the version number at startup and using CPUZ.

Lenovo S400u not booting. error 0xc0000098. Any help is welcome

Hello. I pressed the power button for apparently more than 10 seconds without the battery by guideline mistake. Now the laptop is showing error 0xc0000098 and I can't boot properly.
OneKey recovery is not showing up properly. Appears like new button menu and few options like Normal startup(not working) , BIOS setup, boot menu and system recovery are disposed.
I never did a backup. Never used onekey recovery. I tried the system recovery option and show two options for selection:
Restore to the default backup (when I bought I suppose)
Restore user backup.
As I said, I never used the backup and probably never made one.
I don't want to lose my archives and I dont know if I will be able to keep all my archives safe if I press any of both options.
Apparently, when I chose somewhere else to select any other user backup destination/image, everything is there. So I don't know why the boot is not loading normally.
Please sorry if my question is ttoo simple. I wish I can fix this up without losing nothing. Thank you in advance. Any question that could help fixing it or any information please help. I use win 8.1 64bit OS. Thank you once again.

Hi Pinksoda,
Thank you for replying and sorry for the delay.
DISCPART refers to the partition while installing the operating system, if you want to backup the data you should not delete the data while reinstalling the data. Please take a data backup into your external drive and then reinstall the operating system. As you also mentioned that you have tried with both windows and linux. The DISCPART errors occurred due to clash of the operating systems, as the partition table may vary hence try to install the OS which you want to work as there will be no clashes in the operating system.
Hope this helps. Do post back if issue persists!
Best regards,
Ashwin.S

IMPORT ISSUE: LR 5 NOT SHOWING ANY PICTURES FROM ANY FOLDERS ON IMPORT

Hi there I am using LR5 on Macbook pro OSX vs 10.9.5. I am attempting to import photos from a folder on my hard drive. I cannot get LR5 to recognise any photographs in the folder. Indeed it will not recognise any photographs in any of my system folders or on my external drive. I have checked for XMP files as I heard they can be a conflict but there are none in my folders. I have attempted importing via different methods including drag and drop onto the LR icon but to no avail. This is confusing as all was working fine until recently. I am in desperate need to get this fixed as I am on a shoot tomorrow and need LR! Please can anyone help? Many thanks Steve Please see a screengrab below.

OK...very strange. I had the 'Destinations' tab collapsed. When I clicked to expand it the photos suddenly showed up!
I was attempting to 'Add' photos before (in which case the Destinations is irrelevant) In ''Copy'' or 'Move' the destinations seems to want to be expanded as a tab. Now when I go back into 'Add' the picture imports are working. Thanks for your help and I hope that this might help someone else.
