Laptop locks up after installing wrt600n

I have a Sony laptop with builtin wireless g. I recently upgraded my wrt54n wireless to the new wrt600n wireless router. It has not been a pleasant experience. I am finally connected, some of the time. The main problem is when the laptop comes out of hibernation, the system is locked up. Sometimes I can move the mouse other times not. I end up having to reboot everytime. The connection sometimes is lost. Now at times this could be issues with Time Warner but I never had these connectivity issues with the 54n. I have bought the wireless n card but have not opened it yet. I want to keep this router but not if I have to reboot everytime it comes out of hibernation.
Has anyone else encounter this situation and how did it get resolved?
Is there anyone from Linksys who monitors these discussions?

By the way, are you using Zone Alarm? There is a conflict between Zone Alarm and the latest windows update as it will not let anyone connect to the net. I read this on my ISP's website.

Laptop broke down after installing kernel 3.0

My laptop died little after installing kernel 3.0 (the "linux" package). Details:
- Laptop model: ASUS K50AB-SX029L, it was exactly 2 years minus 10 days old (based on the purchase date); specifictions here.
- using cpufreq frequency scaling (ondemand) and the catalyst drivers for video - if this is useful.
- the laptop used to get heated when the ventilation became obstructed by dust; however, the sensors worked, it used to instantly shut down when it was intensely used and too hot in the room.
- after I installed linux-3.0, I noticed some error message early at boot time, something about "soft restart" or "soft reboot" and something about "device" (not configured, maybe) - I don't remember well.
How it happened: I installed kernel 3.0 yesterday, rebooted, then built/installed the AUR ATI drivers (catalyst-utils, catalyst, lib32-catalyst-utils), rebooted again and then I left it building an AUR package. When I came back to it, the desktop was frozen, I forced a shutdown using the power button and since then, every time I turn it on, it gets powered, the fan is spinning and the USB external drive starts, but nothing else happen - no display, no boot, no spinning HDD. I removed its CMOS battery, but the same.
Now, since too many possible factors coincide - I installed kernel 3.0 for the first time, laptop was 2 y.o., it was used somehow intensely along the time, its warranty was just expiring - it is of concern to me what happened, if possible to find out. I mention that it was 2 years old because another laptop left me down before, after the exactly same period of using Linux (Arch for like 4 months on that one), different model and different brand (Acer). What is of interest:
- someone else's laptop breaking down coincided with updating to kernel 3.0?
- someone else's laptop broke down after 2 years or similar of using Linux/Arch daily? Any difference in reliability compared to using other OSs?
- any insight in the reliability/durability of the notebook hardware in general (things that may not depend on the OS)? I mean if it was supposed to die anyway after 2 years of usage - which sounds too short to me, btw - maybe it was just a big coincidence that it happened right after linux 3.0 was installed. But there is a need for some arguments supporting this hypothesis, while searching the web comes with a lot of irrelevant or contradictory information.
- if the case, how could the malfunctioning/misconfiguration of the OSs in general, Linux in particular, damage the hardware? I think overheating is out of question when the sensors work, but I'm open to information on this subject.
- what data (logs, etc) could be relevant and how should I analyze it, after retrieving it off the dead laptop HDD?

My HP dv9000t mobo got fried exact 2 weeks after the warranty expired. Then fixing that, the wireless broke down, then the lcd got dead pixels. I think this is not a coincidence... Lenovo Thinkpad T series is what I went with after I gave up on the HP.
+1 on both. I had a kernel panic in my head this AM, too, but if you ask me it sounds suspiciously like a planned 2-year lifecycle on the products. Sack of middle fingers to the OEM retail products divisions.
Last night I had started compiling a kernel and was working on my thesis (which has nothing to do with computers besides using a word processor). Did a $ sudo pm-suspend and went to sleep when the machine finished compiling. This morning I'm at my desk with a multimeter and trying to find a local place that carries SATA to USB assembly.
BIOS won't come up, screen won't turn on, I'm definitely not getting to GRUB--pressing enter repeatedly and waiting does not lead to the hard disk thrashing at all. Yanked the battery, tested the adapter, cycled the power switch b/c I can't find the CMOS jumper and there's no repair manual for this thing. I realize I did leave a single USB fan and a USB light (turned off) plugged in during the suspend, but am having a hard time thinking that drawing power at USB spec (5V/100mA max) from USB could have done this especially with the A/C power source available. I'm not familiar with the actual suspend process, but a 5V rail is a 5V rail when it's got power, right?
I'm not going to start yanking individual components just yet, I actually want to get sh!t done today. The machine in question has a manufacture date of January 2009 stamped on the bottom.
Mfg Date: 2009/01/07
So two years, seven months and about three weeks of life. Even with a backup of mission-critical files from last week, this sucks--losing 60 hours of work is FTL. Fingers crossed that whatever zapped it didn't get to the disk. I'm still kinda shocked about all this. Get it? Shocked? Har har X-(
I'm not going to blame the 3.0 kernel though I was tempted. "But I didn't even install the new kernel... how can this be"? I thought maybe I blew up my processor or something by compiling, running libreoffice, VLC and firefox all at once... hardly. Bad timing on a new kernel, maybe, or I managed to piss off some DelHewlitSUSway god, or something. I've had battery/power issues on this machine almost since day one, but never any indication of impending doom.
I agree completely with the advice to get laptops from a "small business" or institutionally-oriented line, like Lenovo/IBM's Thinkpads, and even thought about Mac this morning, but don't have a trust fund. I'm writing this on a second-hand Thinkpad R series almost six years old. The LCD screen and/or cable are damaged, the disk spins at an underwhelming 4300 RPM or whatever and I have to keep the fan at max levels all the time but at least it f-cking boots up.
Sorry if this is a thread hijack, but if you can't get to BIOS you can't get to BIOS. After confirming it's not a video issue the only options are to yank all parts not necessary to booting up, clear the CMOS by finding the jumper or battery or trying to cycle power via the switch (for, like, 5 minutes), and reinstall parts one-by-one until replicating the issue. If you can't get that far, the mobo, BIOS or processor is probably nuked.

Iphone 4s locking up after installing 8.0.2 how to fix this without getting a newer phone? Other 4s users are experiencing same difficulties.

After installing IOS 8.0.2 the phone has been locking up when using apps such as Facebook. The screen becomes unresponsive for several minutes after loading an app. Also, if you double click the home button to shut down the app the screen is unresponsive or the screen becomes black. I did not have this problem until installing the IOS 8.0.2. I have talked to a couple other people that have the 4S and they are experiencing the same problems. The iphone 5 users are not experiencing this problem. I suspect the processor is too slow to handle the new IOS and the 4S should have not be allowed to update to this IOS if the system was not going to work properly. Is there a way to fix IOS 8 or return to IOS 7?

Sorry, but there is no way to downgrade the iOS. To make sure your backup did not contain damaged files after upgrading and restoring, set it up as new device without using the backup and no 3rd party apps installed. If the phone is working after that, add the 3rd party apps back.

Dell Laptop Internet issue after installing HP software for the C309a

We have a wireless network and I have the software and drivers for the C309a successfully installed on my Gateway (Vista) laptop without issue. After installing all the drivers and software on my wife's Dell Inspiron 1525 (Vista) for the printer, the laptop struggles to connect to the internet through the wireless router. Any web site that is a https takes several attempts to log onto, others will connect after a refressh. The HP Cue is also crashing and closing. I uninstalled the HP software and the connection was back to being normal with no difficulty connecting to the net. I re-installed the HP software and the same thing is occurring (even the HP Cue crashing) where you can not get on her AOL mail or even Facebook unless making several attempts (and even then no gurantee it will let you on). I uninstalled the HP software and all is well again with the internet connection. I have not installed the latest version of the HP drivers and software as this is version 12 and I see that version 13 is avalable. Was this an issue in the past and does version 13 fix this or do I have another issue?
Thank you for the advice.....
Mike

Some of the HP software creates a lot of network traffic. It can overwhelm some routers. What kind of router and ISP do you use?
Download 13 from here but do not subscribe to the Customer Participation Program (it creates a lot of traffic).

My Macbook pro 13" is locking up after installing Lion

Anyone else suffering the same problem?
By locking up I mean is unresponsive, mouse does not move. It became unresponsive while moving the mouse, not making a specific action. The keyboard is not responsive either.
Not sure if its a deadlock/livelock.

I have a 2008 MacBook 13" and I frequently suffer from locking up usually right after logging into my desktop (there is one other user configured). This behavior started almost immediately after installing Lion. I have to hold the power button to shut it down in order to start it up again. Annoying.

Computer slows down and locks up after installing Xtreme Mu

I recently upgraded my Audigy 2 to the new Xtreme Music soundcard. The music sounds great!? Before install, I uninstalled all drivers from the Audigy 2. Now, my computer behaves differently. Before the login screen (Windows XP), my video flashes multiple colors for about 2 seconds. After logging into Windows, applications have slowed down (this is after installing the drivers for the sound card and updating the software to the latest from the website). For example, Email took some time to come up (outlook), and then a word attachment refused to come up. IE took considerable amount of time to launch. This is after running the computer with the sound card for a week.
The problems aren't consistent. I returned the card, and the salesman asked if I plugged in the external power (floppy dri've connector). I read the instructions, and they did not state to do this, but I will give it a try. I swapped the card for a brand new one and brought it home. This time, I plugged in the external power. Same symptoms, if not worse. It is sporadic, and sometimes worse than others.
This morning, my computer was working extremely slow opening IE or Outlook and reading email. I pulled the sound card and all is great again. Bummer!? I really like the sound this card produces. My fear is, will ANY X-Fi card do this or just the Xtreme Music?I have an ASUS P4P800 Deluxe (onboard sound has always been disabled). I didn't have any problems with the Audigy 2. 550W power supply, Gig memory, Pentium 4 2.8 GHz processor, and and ATI X600 video card. No other cards are installed in the system.

I tried it is 2 separate slots. Same symptoms. I am looking to see if it is a power issue (not enough juice from a 550w power supply), or if there is a conflict. I still have the creative drivers and software loaded without the soundcard installed and no problems (So I'm ruling out the creative sound software).

Blue Screen after installing WRT600N

I have been running two wired high-end machines for over a year with an old Linksys 10/100 wired and wireless B Router. I wanted to get the wired and wireless speed a bit faster so I bought the WRT600N mainly for the Gigabit switch and the USB port. I went through the install wizard and got it configured. But I am having numerous issues with this new router that my old trusty Linksys router never did with the same configuration. I will enter different post for each issue if I can’t find help searching the forum.
1.       I started to get the following:
       Blue Screen error: “IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUALL”
a.       I first started getting this error on the machine running the Linksys Advisor software. The Machine is running the 64 bit version of Vista so I thought maybe the software did not like Vista or the 64 bit version. This machine is wired to the gigabit switch on the WRT600N. But then my other machine got the same Blue Screen Error. It has a gigabit Nic and is not running the Linksys Advisor. This second machine has been stable and has never had a Blue Screen on XP or Vista 32 Bit. So when it got this same error I ruled out that my Vista 64 bit machine had a problem with a piece of hardware or a specific software application. With both of these machines with gigabit NICs that ran fine on the old Linksys B router now getting this Blue Screen Error a bit longer than a year after I installed Vista. And I have added no new hardware or software to the Vista 32 bit machine for years other than Windows Updates, but this machine doesn't have Vista SP1 install where the 64 bit machine does. The 32 bit machine is a Dual Xeon CPU machine that is rock solid.
So does anyone know what might be the issue here? I have been in Technical support for years before I moved up to Director of Product Management and Marketing but I still keep up with the latest new software and hardware and after working on this for a few months I believe it has to be this new Linksys WRT600N router, but if someone else has seen this and fixed this and it is not the new WRT600N please let me know what you did.
Lastly, I searched the forum and read all that I could find on this error message and nothing was helpful in my situation as these aren’t laptops moving from network to network they are desktop machines. I also did some Google searching but no luck.
Oh, and by the way I don’t know if the router is misconfigured or broken but my old 10/100 seemed faster on file transfer/etc. than this supposed Router with a Gigabit switch. Anyone have any ideas on that please let me know as well.
I am running WPA-Personal, maybe the encryption is slowing things down…. Who knows….
Thanks for any help and since there is no new firmware I figure this router may still have some bugs and maybe this might be one.

I'm completely exhausted.
I cant make this "outstanding, the most powerfull" soundcard work.
The last thing was - i deleted all the creative soft and installed only the driver. After system comes, and windows desktop is visible, the computer freezes and only hard reset can wake it up.
What the problem is??
I've sent this issue with my system configuration to creative, filled the form on the site.
Just NO RESPONCE. Should I just throw my soundblaster away?

Itunes 4 locked up after installing ipod-mini!

I just bought a new i-pod mini for a trip (I leave in 3 hours!), and after hooking it up and installing all of the songs in my itunes (which worked), my i-tunes totally crashed. Whenever I try to launch it now, it says:
"The itunes 4 music library file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permissin for this file"
I ran the disk utility, and repaired all permissions. No change.
Please help!

I also had the same problem - Gen 1 iPad and after repeatedly bugging me about the update & not wanting to do it. I went to get an iBook and it told me that it couldnt deliver the book until I updated. I relented and it just hangs up. After 4 attempts to restore it get an error -
"iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes."
obviously restore means delete and reset to factory settings, loose all my data etc etc
"The iPad cannot be restored at this time because the iPad server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable" Please try again later."
"The iPad could not be restored. An Unknown error occured (1603)" - So click more information and I get a web page at apple GRRRRRRRRRRRRR .... http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275
Seriously - I have no idea how Apple succeeds at deliverying this device as mission critical or for any real business use. Its a crash happy device even without updates but now its just a dust collector. Nearest apple store is 120 miles away.

Safari locks up after installing Mavericks

Ever since I installed Mavericks, Safari locks up (rainbow pinwheel) when I try to quit the application. I tried the Glims uninstall mentioned elsewhere on here to no avail. This has been going on since the Mavericks launch a month or so ago. I've never had this problem with Safari before. Any advice?

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

FireWire dropping--machine locking/rebooting after installing Clusterware!

I installed Clusterware 10.2.3 on 64-bit CentOS4.5 running on 2 AMD64 machines. Installation went fine and everything started/worked. But about after 2-3 hours (only Clusterware installed, no other Oracle software), things started going pretty bad -- multitude of problems surfaced -- all on a sudden FireWire drive disappeared or keyboard/mouse got locked or machine rebooted by itself -- halleluah!
Can you please tell what might be the reason & how to resolve it?
Thanks.

Apparently, security programs like Macafee and Norton view Itunes updates as new programs and block then from access. If you add Itunes to the list of exemptions, it solves the problem.

Laptop doesnt boot after installing a new hard drive

Hi,
The image you download should just appear as 1 file. You should then use the 'Burn a disc image' option in Power2Go to write this correctly to a disc.

GarageBand locks up after installing Finale 2008 and Garritan Instruments

I'm having a problem with GarageBand 3 and Native Instruments (or Finale 2008a or Garritan Instruments)...
Our school bought a Finale 2008 5-pack which I'm installing on four new MacMinis and a MacBook. All of the computers have 1GB or RAM. We're running Mac OS 10.4.11 and iLife '06 (GarageBand 3.0.4)
I installed Finale 2008 as well as the updater to Finale 2008a. In addition, I installed the Garritan Instruments from the Finale CDs.
At [root level] on the Mac, GarageBand works fine. But, when users login on the same computer and launch GarageBand, the following error message appears:
Native Instruments
Installation folder is not writable. Pease select a folder now.
GarageBand locks up and the user must force-quit. Prior to installing Finale and the Garritan Instruments, GarageBand was working fine.
Suggestions???

I (finally) found an answer to this after several emails with Finale support and Native Instruments support. Solved by repairing permissions AND installing the "Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Installer Patch for KONTAKT PLAYER" from...
http://www.native-instruments.com/
I installed this patch while logged in at root - then, repaired permissions afterwards.
Even though the 'problem computers' are running 10.4.11, it's the 10.5 Leopard patch that fixed it!!!

.itl file is locked error after installing new build - iTunes won't open

After upgrading to the new build itunes won't open. I receive an error message "The iTunes Library .itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file." When I check permissions I have full control. I tried uninstalling all apple components - iTunes, Quicktime, apple updater - rebooting and then reinstalling but the same error message comes up when I try to start itunes.

Even after uninstalling the .itl file remained in my itunes music folder. I deleted this file after uninstalling again and then reinstalled and the issue was resolved.
