LED TV 40L5200U slow powering on

I have a LED 40" and start up takes about 20 to 30 secs before the Toshiba red logo appears. Is this normal? Unit is about 2 years old.

...never mind, I got it working after trying a few more times. Turned on the TV with the Panasonic remote and then pressed OK on the YouView remote. I then could use the volume on the YouView remote and press-and-hold for as long as needed to turn on the TV after it was configured.

  • HT2810 LED BLINKS FAST-SLOW-FAST

    A power cut in our area meant that I took my Macbook Pro elsewhere to work.  When I returned and reconnected it to my Cinema Display I was unable to get a picture.  Other posts seem to suggest that the blinking LED indicates a failed 90W power adapter and that it is not uncommon.  If this is true I am shocked to find that Apple supply the display and its power supply without a warning that this can happen and advice on how to avoid it.  I have checked the User's Guide and verified that there is no such warning and there is no mention of it on the Apple support page for displays. Before I spend money on a replacement can anyone confirm that there is no reset procedure that retrieves the function? I also need to know if the display itself is likely to be affected and whether Apple can be held responsible for supplying equipment that cannot handle something as common as a power supply interruption.

    Trying to figure it out myself. It seems random. I can have multiple missed call notifications and it always slow blinks. Multiple text notifications = slow blinks. But mix any of those and I get fast blinks. But 1 missed email = fast blinks. Seems like no reason for any of it. Maybe I am missing something.
    Just glad we have the LED notifications though.

  • CFP-2110 controller STATUS LED red blinking after powering up

    Hi,
    Have any one experienced this before:  once we powered up the control panel to the instrument, the cFP-2110 controller would just start blinking the RED STATUS signal.  I checked the manual on cFP-2110 and it says if the red signal comes off more than 4 times, it is an unrecoverable error.  Any recommendation from the board?
    Thanks a lot. 

    Hi,
    The default IP is 0.0.0.0. Do you see this same behavior when booting into safe mode? Please see the cFP-21xx User Manual page A-2.  You can also contact NI support at www.ni.com/support.

  • 27 LED Cinema Display Audio and Brightness when powering MacBook Pro

    When my 27 LED Cinema Display is powering my (or another) 2009 13" MacBook Pro, I have experienced three issues:
    1. The dropped audio problem other users have mentioned. Shutdown, then disconnect power/usb/displayport, then wait ~15s, then reconnect and reboot temporarily fixes the problem.
    2. I also have the sluggish keyboard behavior when adjusting the volume that others have mentioned.
    3. I have experienced shifts in display brightness which are obvious when the display is dimmed. I have disabled the ambient light sensor as well as any interfering power management or energy saver settings. Opening apps, scrolling and other normal activities seem to aggravate this behavior.
    This last strange behavior inspired me to try using a power adapter for the MacBook Pro instead of display's laptop power connector. *Doing so seems to have resolved all three issues.*
    It seems that this may indicate an underlying problem with the display's power supply. Can anyone confirm?

I'd like to utilize the ambient light sensor but not if its going to make my screen flicker when it is dim....
    (1) I have never had any deaths associated with my screen, but on rare occasions my display's brightness will flicker when I manually adjust the brightness. The fix I have found for this is to increase the brightness one more setting or decrease it one more setting. Changing the screen from full dim to full bright and then setting the brightness I want sometimes helps, too.

  • Toshiba 40l5200u pixelation problem!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I recently purchased a led toshiba 40l5200u 1080p 120hz. I love the whole idea of viewing bluerays in 120hz however ive notice that in fast moving scenes it pixelites around the image!!! I am viewing blue rays on a ps3 with an alphaline goldplated hdmi 13 gps of speed. My sharpness is set to 0 and refresh rate is at medium... how can i fix this ???do i need another hdmi cable ? or what can i doe to view a movie without pixelation!?

    A PXE error means that the computer is trying to boot from the LAN port. Go into the Bios and check the computer's boot order. Make sure that the hard drive, usually abbreviated HDD, is the first boot device. If the hard drive is the first boot device and you are still getting the PXE error, this is because the computer is unable to boot from the hard drive. If this is the case, your best option is to reinstall the operating system. The bad news is that if you reinstall the OSyou will lose all of your data and files.

  • P965 Platinum - Power LED Doesnt blink on Standby?

    Hi -- I have a P965 Platinum board, running Vista Ultimate.  I am running 1.5B3 of the BIOS, and when I put the system in standby, the power light doesn't blink or otherwise indicate that the system is in standby.
    Can anyone else verify whether or not that is working or not?
    Thanks.
    Rick

    The reply from MSI Tech SUpport was as follows, which I didnt buy because I had an Asus P4T-E in the same case and that blinked the LED for standby --- and I sincerely doubt the header is no good since the LED lights fine when powered up:
    MSI Tech.   05/12/2007   Then it is either problem with the LED on the chassis or on the header.

  • Internal Hard Drives Disappeared, Finder Memory Problem

    Hello Helpful Folks,
    I recently installed an addional internal Hard Drive, and an additional 1GB SDRAM. This worked great for a day, but the next morning, after powering up, system was extremely sluggish, and after much deadline-induced impatient problem solving, has gone from bad to worse (system refuses to acknowledge existence of internal Hard Drives). I apologize in advance for the length of this post, but as
    the devil is in the details, I figure too much info is better than not enough.
    Following is a breakdown of my system: AS IT LAST WORKED; RECENT UPGRADES; and MY LAME ATTEMPTS AT PROBLEM SOLVING THAT HAVE MADE THINGS WORSE. Please don't interpret my all caps as shouting, just trying to organize this post for better clarity.
    System is dedicated to Video Editing with FCP 3, running under OS 9.2.2. System is "off the Grid", i.e. no network, no internet, no printer, no gaming devices. System was purchased new in July 2001, by a friend. At one point I know this system had an Airport card, which was removed prior to my purchase in 2003. I can't remember what else it may have had installed in its history, but here's what it has now:
    SYSTEM AS IT LAST WORKED:
    **bold items are upgrades Original Owner or I installed with no apparent problems**
    Power Mac G4 "Quicksilver" 2001
    867 PowerPC G4, 256 L2, 2MB L3
    -1 Stick "ValueRAM - KVR 133 x 64 C3/512" in PC 133 DIMM slot **
    - "Virtual Memory" was turned off years ago due to conflict with FCP 3
    -2 empty DIMM slots
    -1 60 GB internal HD (Maxtor Ultra ATA/100), 1 partition, formatted HFS+, jumpered as "Master" on Internal ATA 2 ID=0 (which as I understand it is ATA/66 speed)
    -1 Pioneer "Superdrive" DVD-R/W/CD-R/W on Internal ATA 0 ID=0
    -NVIDIA GeForce2 MX with 32MB SDRAM in AGP Slot, feeding a 17" Apple Studio Display.
    -PCI Display Card "formacGA7" - not attached to any external device, not sure what its intended purpose is.**
    -3 Empty PCI Slots
    -OEM Keyboard attached to Monitor's rear USB port.
    -Microsoft 3 Button Wheel mouse with "IntelliEye" (wheel is 3rd Button) connected to Keyboard USB port (right side).**
    -2 OEM FireWire (400) ports
    -2 OEM USB (1) ports
    Peripherals that have worked in various configurations with this system over the past 3 years:
    -3 OWC Mercury Elite ("Oxford Chipset") Externally powered, External FireWire(400) 200GB Hard Drives, 1 partition each, formatted HFS+, daisy-chained to either of the FireWire ports.
    -1 Canon GL1 MiniDV camera, attached either to the other FireWire port, or to the last drive in the chain, depending on my urgency/laziness factor. BTW, FCP 3 has worked flawlessly controlling this Cam for logging and Batch Capturing.
    Applications on System Hard Drive that I have OEM CDs for:
    -OS 9.2 - (I think I remember that OS X was removed from system due to conflicts shortly after original purchase)
    -FCP 3
    -DiskWarrior (version unknown, purchased from Alsoft in 2003)
    -OWC Intech Hard Disk SpeedTools ver 3.5
    Other CDs I have:
    OEM CDs for Power Mac G4:
    -Software Install, OS 9.2, CD vers 1
    -Software Install, OS 10.0.4, CD vers 1
    -Software Restore, OS 9.2 & 10.0.4 CDs vers 1, Discs 1-4 of 4.
    -OEM Apple Hardware Test; Power Mac G4, SW vers 1.2.1
    Applications on system Hard Drive that I don't have CDs for, that I rarely use, but I'd like to keep:
    -After Effects 5.0
    -QuickTime Player 6.0.2
    -Toast Audio Extractor 1.1
    -Toast Titanium 5.0.2
    Applications on system Hard Drive I use if my wife is busy on our Windows XP machine:
    -Photshop 6.0
    -Microsoft Word & Excel
    # of other Applications on System Hard Drive I either don't use or may be integral to the system: 260
    # of Control Panels:
    -Enabled: 34
    -Disabled: 0
    # of Extensions:
    -Enabled: 174
    -Disabled: 0
    note: a number of the applications and extensions are for AOL, Quickbooks, Microsoft Money and the like, as well as other things I don't use (Airport, USB printers, Networking, etc.)
    Smart things I did:
    -Regularly made backup copies of my FCP projects to the external drives.
    -Bought a copy of MacDrive so I can see what's on my External Drives on the XP machine.
    -Printed out System Profile before I installed upgrades.
    -Thoroughly searched this discussion board for and gathered as much info as I could before upgrading.
    Dumb things I did:
    -Made a copy, but not a clone, of my System Folder to one of the external drives when I first got it.
    -Didn't keep any sort of separate log of what's on the External Drives.
    -Never ran any sort of Disk Maintenance, even after one of the Externals crashed (DiskWarrior saved my butt on that).
    -Ignored some of the advice on this discussion board.
    Really dumb thing I did without even realizing it:
    Captured all media for a rush job onto my internal system Hard Drive, as well as storing and using massive jpgs for the same job on that same drive...
    Which led to painfully slow rendering times, and crashes caused by "Error: Out of Memory", which I interpreted as "Must buy more memory" and not "must make sure I'm not trying to edit media stored on system drive, especially with massive jpgs that I should reduce"
    RECENT UPGRADES:
    Here's what I did, and how I did it:
    Turned off system, disconnected all External FireWire Devices, disconnected Monitor, opened case, touched various metal parts of case and power supply to discharge any Static, unplugged power cable.
    -Installed 2 512MB sticks of "Lifetime" PC 133 SDRAM; total System RAM is now 1.5GB, all 3 DIMM slots now occupied.
    -Installed 1 Maxtor "DiamondMax" Ultra ATA/133 100GB Hard Drive (8 MB buffer) as "Slave" (no jumper) in top of U-Carrier above System Hard Drive; attached to middle of original Apple ribbon cable, attached available power plug.
    Taped spare jumper to inside of empty drive bay, noting origin and date. Did NOT push PMU button. Carefully closed case. Reconnected Monitor, did NOT reconnect any FireWire devices. Powered System on, but did NOT perform PRAM reset.
    I don't remember the exact order of what happened next, but I think: System booted up normally, a window popped up saying a new drive had been found, would I like to intitialize it?, which I did as Mac OS extended, and then named. If I was instructed to restart, I did so, otherwise did not. Clicked on "about this Mac" and saw that it now showed 1.5GB RAM. I then went about moving Media/Render files off the System drive (and one of the Externals) onto the Internal Drive, with a combination of FCP's Media Manager, and dragging from the Finder. After files had copied, dragged Media/Render files from System Drive to Trash. Opened FCP project, had FCP re-link to new locations of missing files. Saved, closed, and re-opened project, set Capture/Scratch disc to new internal Drive. At some point I changed FCP's Memory Allocation from whatever it was to 512000KB Minimum, and 900000KB Prefered (and I hope I got all those zeroes right). Did NOT restart after changing Memory Allocation, unless a window popped up instructing me to do so, in which case I did. Re-opened my project, rendered a few thing at a noticeably increased speed, saved everything, emptied the Trash, shut everything down, and called it a night as it was 4:30 am.
    A few hours later, I plugged the MiniDV and an External Drive into the FW ports and powered up the System. It was behaving extremely sluggishly. I would click on something, the pointer would turn into a wristwatch (sometimes with the minute-hand moving, sometimes not) and like an actual minute later, what I'd clicked on would open. All three drives were on the desktop, still had their files, and "About this Mac" still showed 1.5GB total Memory. So I powered down, disconnected the FW devices, waited a bit, and powered back up. Same sluggish response. I tried to open my FCP project file, and instead got a Window that said something to the effect of "The Application associated with this document could not be found". I think I tried to open FCP from the Applications folder on the System Drive and got the same message (I'd only had 3 hours sleep, no coffee, my client had died, and his family was coming for whatever I had in a few hours).
    LAME ATTEMPTS AT PROBLEM SOLVING THAT HAVE MADE THINGS WORSE
    Panic had set in, which never solves anything, so I don't remember what order I performed which tasks, between searching for clues in this forum, and convincing myself that that would be faster than trying to compose a question, waiting for a response, etc.
    The first two things I did, and I can't remember which I did first (both from Keyboard Commands during Restart):
    Rebuild Desktop
    PRAM Reset
    Neither of those solved the problem, so I continued.
    I tried restarting without extensions.
    I would get errors that said something like "Not Enough Memory to Open Finder".
    I tried booting from Disc 1 of the Software Restore Disk, which only wanted to destroy my data.
    I tried booting from the OS 10 disk, with the same result.
    I was finally able to boot from the OS 9.2 Software Install Disk, and actually saw both internal drives on the desktop, and the 1.5GB RAM in About this Mac. I tried to allocate more memory to Finder, but was informed that "Cannot Perform Requested Operation. This operation requires versions above 8.0".
    I think at this point I decided that I must have too many extensions, and started disabling ones I thought irrelevent to my cause (mostly anything that said "AOL", "Airport", "Ethernet", "Printer", "Modem", "Speakable", and a couple things called "Open TPT".
    It gets worse. Then I decided to turn off some "unnecessary" things via the control panels, but somehow managed to disable the control panels themselves: AppleTalk, DialAssist, File Sharing, Modem, Mouse (as I saw that Microsoft Mouse was among the others), Remote Access, Speech, USB Printer Sharing, and possibly TCP/IP.
    That certainly didn't help anything (though upon restarting from the OS 9.2 Disc I was able to see the extensions and control panels in their respective "Disabled" folders in the System Folder). But I still wasn't able to get more Memory to Finder.
    So, I decided a few more PRAM resets might help, which succeeded in making both Internal Hard Drives disappear. I tried booting up from the DiskWarrior disc, but even the Mighty DiskWarrior couldn't find the drives. I performed the longer, in depth version of the Apple Hardware Tools tests, which reported that everything's fine (including the new RAM), but made no mention of the Hard Drives at all. The deadline having long passed, I shut the system down. I read through more posts and tech articles, etc.
    I searched my External drives with MacDrive on my XP, and found the drive that has the copy of my System Folder (which shows all extensions and control panels as enabled); not sure if the Quicksilver will boot from that, I don't know what the Keyboard command for booting from a FireWire drive is (if there is one) and the drive itself only has 900MB of free space.
    I can't find any reference to Internal ATA drives anywhere in the MacDrive documentation; if it was possible I'd put them into the XP, get the files off the Mac drives, reformat them and install OS9 from the Discs.
    This is where I am now:
    The Quick Silver is still powered down. I removed the Microsft mouse and replaced it with the OEM Apple mouse. I opened the case, and removed the PRAM/Backup battery (manufacture date: July 2001). Couldn't find my voltmeter, so took the bat to Radio Shack and bought a new one. Had the Radio Shack guy test the old one: it showed 3.69 volts still. Have not installed the new battery yet. The case is still open, waiting for any advice any of you might have to offer.
    Thank you all so much for your patience in perusing and pursuing this.
    Sincerely,
    Patterson

    Thank you Rodney and John,
    The jumpers are correct for both Maxtor Drives.
    Rodney, you are correct in that the initial problem (slow rendering/"out of Memory" crashes) was caused by my not realizing I'd stupidly captured several GBs of media to my system drive, and not checking which drives those files were on (as I'd assumed I'd put them on one of my external media drives) once that problem presented itself.
    Before I'd determined what I'd done, I bought the extra RAM. After I'd found the media files on the System Drive, and saw that my dedicated media drives were too full to easily move them, I decided to buy an additional Internal drive so that I could:
    -Move the Media onto it relatively quickly and finish my urgent project.
    -Juggle all my media into a more organized fashion for archiving (as most of my projects are on-going long-term affairs)
    -Wipe it, Partition it, and clone my System Drive onto it, as a spare bootable drive in case my OEM System Drive failed.
    Copying the Media files onto the New Drive and moving the System Drive's Media files into the Trash worked great: huge improvement in Rendering, etc.
    Before shutting down for the night I Emptied the Trash, and was pleased with the amount of space I'd freed up on the System Drive.
    My guess is that the System Drive was terribly fragmented, having been subjected to intense use over the past 5 years without any sort of Drive Maintainence, and deleting that massive amount from it in one shot caused my extreme system sluggishness upon Startup the next day.
    My subsequent lame attempts to solve the sluggishnes ultimately resulted in my losing access to both drives.
    Today, I replaced the Backup Battery, pushed the PMU, re-attached the AC, and Powered Up with the case open as per your suggestion.
    It was trying for a few minutes (the gray screen went black at one point, and then returned to gray) before presenting me with the flashing question mark.
    There was, however, a quiet but distinct "buzzing" sound that would alternate: 1 sec "buzz", one second silence, one second "buzz", one second silence, etc. coming from the drives, even after the "?" appeared.
    I powered down, removed the Ribbon and Power Cables from the new "Slave" drive, and powered up again, with the exact same results.
    I powered down, removed the Ribbon and Power cables from the original "Master" drive, reinstalled the Jumper on the New Drive as "Master", plugged the End of the Ribbon and the Power cables into the New "Master" drive and powered up. The screen went to the "?" within 20 seconds instead of 4+ minutes, and no more "buzzing".
    I put the Apple Hardware Tools Disk in, ran the "long" test, and everything came out fine.
    I have to abandon this for now, but thanks again for your previous advice, and any more you may have!
    Cheers,
    Patterson

  • My 24" intel white iMac won't boot from any source?

    I've tried everything that every forum and youtube video has suggested.  I've reset the PRAM, disconnected all external devices/cables (except USB keyboard), performed a power cord out reset,  attempted reboots from several install disks, and a bootable thumb-drive.  The only promising thing I can get the computer to do is while holding Option, it will show me my boot options, the are. Macintosh HD, Recovery HD, and Install DVD.  Selecting any of them results in a white screen with grey apple logo, apple boot chime, and spinning gear icon. This state persists for about 90 seconds then a slight flicker/ flash to just a blank white screen.
    Additionally, I have booted into Target disk mode using FireWire and another Mac, and was able to read the files on the HD no problem.  I've also verified that all 4 diagnostic LEDs are lite while the machine is powered up. Just the #1 LED stays lite while powered off, yet plugged in. 
    Machine was upgraded to Lion, and current with all updates.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Pelu,
    which model MacBook Pro do you have? Do you have Mac OS X 10.6.0 installed on it? If not, which version of OS X is installed? Do you also have the grey DVD for it that holds its Apple Hardware Test?

  • Macbook starts up but no picture

  • Torch 9860 does not starts

    help!
    my blackberry Torch 9860 does not starts, and the red led blinking a slow time and 3 times faster
    I removed the battery and waited, when i put the battery back, nothing happens
    I installed the blackberry desktop, but it does not recognize the phone, not from any sign that is connected
    I tested with another blackberry and connected everything right, the problem is not the cable or pc
    when I connect it via USB the red LED blinks 1 time 3 times fast and slow
    when I try to start it nothing happens

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB):
    With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
    Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
    Remove the battery
    Wait 15 minutes
    Insert the battery
    Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
    This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
    It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
    Obtain a known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
    Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
    The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem.
    Good luck and let us know!
    Occam's Razor nearly always applies when troubleshooting technology issues!
    If anyone has been helpful to you, please show your appreciation by clicking the button inside of their post. Please click here and read, along with the threads to which it links, for helpful information to guide you as you proceed.

  • Does the USB port provide power in sleep mode?

    Subject pretty much says it all... curious as to if the USB port will continue to provide power to a connected device even in sleep mode?
    I can find some info on the G5 iMacs that say they did not, but can't find anything on the Intel iMacs.
    Specifically, thinking of buying an iPod Nano and wondering if it will charge it while sleeping.

    Regarding Apple's document, it is interesting to note:
    Your computer goes to sleep
    Your computer can only charge iPod when it's turned on and not asleep. Make sure your computer on and is not set to go to sleep when you want to charge iPod.
    Tip: Some Macintosh computers can charge iPod even though they're asleep. If your sleeping computer doesn't charge iPod, don't worry, just wake it and let iPod charge.
    Apple doesn't specifiy which computers are capable of this however so I wouldn't bet on it.
    Of note, the USB port must provide a very small amount of power not only, I would think, to allow the keyboard/mouse to wake the Mac but also to light the LEDs of my bus powered (not AC powered) Macally hub which remain constant as long the Mac is on (sleeping or not). That also applies to the USB charger that came with my Kensington Wireless keyboard (although I have not tried charging while in sleep mode). That being said, the power - no doubt - is minimal.

  • Reset Automatic Workflow Customizing(SWU3) in Classify Tasks as General?

    Hello Guys,
    I have a problem when in SWU3 as part of post-processing after client copies, I have performed activation in the Classify Tasks as General so now all the items there are in green mark. I have learned from the workflow team that this should have not been done as it flooded every users mailbox with about 2000 tasks and they are also in the midst of testing so the sending of unnecessary extra items through not assigning tasks in agents led to very slow response/processing  in workflow inbox functionality as well as may annoy users inbox. Do you know how to set this back as the tasks will not be General but per agent? Desperately need your advice. =(
    Regards,
    Jennah

    Hello,
    I don't think SWU3 sets all the tasks to General task.
    As I understand it, a task will only be sent to all users if:
    1) it's a General task    and
    2)  "Terminate if Rule Resolution has no Result" is not checked for the task   and
    3) No agent was found for the task
    In your case I suspect "Terminate if Rule Resolution has no Result" hasn't been made use of often enough.

  • Z77 Mpower boot issue - won't POST

    Hi there
    Got a question regarding a PC build that isn't working as well as hoped. Doing this on behalf of my friend but I've been helping him while he builds it so have a good idea of what's been going on.
    Set up is as follows:
    Processor: Core i5 3570k (stock, not overclocked or anything)
    Motherboard: MSI Z77 Mpower
    RAM: 8GB Corsair Vengeance memory (in 2x4gb)
    PSU: Corsair 800W Gaming PSU
    Storage: OCZ 240GB SSD
    Cooling: Zalman water cooling (can't remember the exact model off hand I'm afraid, will try and get that later)
    Graphics: HD 4000 integrated (for now, haven't got the graphics card yet)
    We built the machine and got it going no problem. When it was first built it booted no problem, so we set up boot priorities and then installed the Windows 8 Enterprise 90 day trial. All good so far. Installed no problem at all at lightning speed and we got into Windows fine. Installed lots of drivers and so forth with no such trouble either. CPU was reporting a steady 25C average temperature on idle and everything seemed to be going smoothly.
    Then we hit a stumbling block. We powered off the machine to make a minor adjustment in the case (all while static protected with a wristband), and after doing this we then powered the machine back on. We're now getting a dim red LED (almost seemed half powered) in the DrMOS overheat warning and then two bright blue LEDs next to it indicating the CPU power phase. The fans will spin and case LEDs come on, but nothing else happens other than that and the LEDs. No POST screen or anything like that. It might also be worth noting that now when you plug the computer in, the green LED on the internal power button no longer lights while the machine is off - when the machine was working it would.
    I've spent hours trawling through the forums and can't seem to find the same problem happening. We're getting a bit worried that there could be a fault on the board but wondered if we could get some advice from here first. I tried resetting the CMOS with no avail and trying the other BIOS.
    As a last resort, we've now removed the cooler and CPU to check the CPU hasn't melted or anything drastic like that and it's absolutely fine - no visible damage. We've left it like that for now until I can get back over there with some more thermal paste to reseat the processor and cooler so until then we're stuck anyway.
    If anyone has any ideas or knows of the problem, it would be really appreciated as we're a bit worried! What should we try?
    Thank you!

    Many thanks, will give that a try. Is it an RMA to MSI if that fails then? Forgive me for not totally understanding consumer rights - but it was only bought around a week ago - could we get the supplier to exchange it or would it have to go to MSI for repair?

    Next, remove the main board and place it on a non-conductive surface and test it with a single stick of ram in dimm 2, cpu & cooler. You can try switching the ram ram sticks and dimms, but the last few times I saw anything about the drmos alarm it was a defective mainboard.
    While it is out and the cpu is removed though, take a good look at the cpu socket pins and count all the stand off to make sure there are not extras.

  • Computer fails to start up

    I run a HP 6000 Pro Desktop computer.
    Upon switching on the powerlight turns on and stays on (fixed)
    No HD reading or writing
    No cursor on the screen
    However after about 10 seconds all ventilators rev up to maximum speed and stay at this speed until the computer is switched off by the on / off button
    Power led gives no POST warnings and no beeps are heard
    Hard disk replaced with other similar computer, starts up normally, HD OK
    Suspect motherboard, however no blinks of the power led
    Possibly Power supply, computer clean and just three years old.
    Appreciate your suggestions
    Regards

    Dear Erico
    Thanks for quick response.
    I have tried both your proposed options;
    Firstly disconnected HD (both power cable and SATA cable) no difference,
    Cleared CMOS, no difference.
    Checked again seating of memory found OK.
    Removed an additional Network Card from the PCI connector, no difference.
    Removed connections to CD Rom, (both power cable and SATA) no difference.
    Removed for sake of completeness battery, no difference.
    The start up sequence apperas quite unusual:
    Upon switching on by the power button, the powerlight switches on (green) and the HD light switches on for a short moment (Only while pushing the power button)
    Ventilators start running on normal speed.
    Access to CD rom (trying to read from CD rom) (also with a start-up disk the computer will not boot)
    HD appears to rev up (I only hear the sound of revving up, however no read or write indication (HD led stays dark))
    Computer shuts down automatic after about 5 seconds. (ventilators stop, power led switches off)
    Computer powers up again automatically after a delay of about 2 seconds.
    Same starting up sequence as above.
    After about ten seconds ventilators of powersupply and chassis speeds up to maximum revs.
    I am not sure if the ventilator of the processor also revs up, I tried same with the processor ventilator disconnected, no difference.
    This continuous untill shutting down by hand (pressing power button 4 seconds)
    While pressing the powerbutton the HD led lights up.
    (power led lights continuously during start up, no POST warnings, no beeps, no cursor on screen)
    It appears to me that the computer thinks that it is overheated and accordingly wants to cool down the chassis by additional ventilation. However I anticipated that only the processor temperature is monitored.
    The problem first occurred after switching on at 08:00 in the morning after being switched off the day before at 17:00.
    your further suggestions are appreciated.
    Regards

  • GD65 Post-BIOS Adjustment Reboot Question

    Is it normal that whenever I change & save bios "Cell Menu" settings, the board reboots by first switching off (i.e. all LEDs & fans off) & then powering up again after a gap of abt 1s. If I change other settings in bios then after saving it restarts as if a warm boot (i.e. fans & LEDs don't go off). Is this normal behaviour?
    Also I have DDR3-1600 rams, how can I set the board to run @ 1600? I can currently only set it to run @ 1333 now by using 5x memory divider setting. Also how can I change vdimm setting? The selection is currently at "auto" & is greyed out.
    TIA

    If the setting is saved after the 1s reboot, it should be normal.
    As for the RAM question, please post what RAM you are using.
    Yes, setting is saved, but it's strange that sometimes it reboots as if a hard reset is done & sometimes it's a warm reboot. Does it make a difference if say I change only the ram or cpu settings or if it's only a change relating to disabling quick boot?
    The rams are OCZ Platinum DDR3 1600 LVAM (for AMD). I'm currently testing the board with these rams & the bios only give me choice of auto, 3x, 4x & 5x settings (no 6x). Setting it to 5x gives me a speed of 1333.
    The bios is v1.2 & the psu is Delta Server Power 750w (Only available in Asia).
