Lockups on new system! Help!!!

I'm at the end of my rope!
I just built a new system, and I'm having a lot of lockup issues any time I play a game or anything that requires a lot from the graphics accelerator. I can't even get into a game more than 30 seconds without it locking. Here's my system specs (all components brand new):
MSI Neo4 Platinum SLI
AMD 64 3200
MSI 6600 GT 128mb PCIe
Croshair 1G (2x512mb) PC3200
Enermax Noisetaker 470W psu
WD 80GB SATA hard drive
Windows XP Pro
I've tried running the sytem with the drivers that came with the components, and I've also tried running the latest and greatest of all drivers.
I've checked to make sure all components are seated properly, and that all fans and so forth are working. I've also ensured that the two mem sticks are in the right slots (both "green" on this motherboard).
Since everything is new, everything is a fresh install.
The lock up occurs on every game I try to run that utilizes the 6600 GT, including UT2004, Star Wars: Republic Commando, and HL2. In every situation, it locks my pc within about 30 seconds, and I have to shut down the pc and reboot.
My best guess is the power supply. When I ordered the psu, I THOUGHT this particular one had a 24 pin main connection. It does not. I went out and bought a 20pin to 24pin adaptor. However, after reading in another thread that the last four pins power the PCIe slot, I'm wondering if the motherboard just isn't getting enough power to the video card even with the adaptor.
Here's the specs for the psu:
Code: [Select]
Model No. DC Output (Maximum Current) Total Power
+3.3V +5V +12V1 +12V2 -12V +5Vsb
EG475P-VE SFMA 34A 40A 16A 15A 0.8A 2.5A 470W
280W
Does anyone have any suggestions? Is the psu the problem, or could it be something else? I would really like some help on this. I've been working on this issue for 3 days now, and I'm about to return all the components and scrap the whole thing.

Hi, I have the same spec as you on my newly built pc (except I have an ATI x850) and i am also having the exact same problem.
My question to everyone is if i try this solution will everything be ok? This is my first custom build, and just like the topic starter, i swear it said in the manual that the sticks of ram must be in the same coloured slot. I don't want to blow anything to bits!
So I just want to make sure everything is ok before i tinker any more with it. This problem is really getting to me as I cannot play any of the kick ass games I bought especially for this new pc.
THanks for the advice guys.

Lockups in new K7T-Turbo2 system

Need help with new system built yesterday:
K7T-Turbo 2 board (rcd as warranty replace)
AMD200)+,
786Mb PC133 SDRam
100Gb WD HD
Creative Labs Soundblaster Audigy 2
nVidia Ti4200 BFI video
Buslink CDRw drive/ Mitsumi Floppy/ Netgear LAN card
Problems:
1) System will not run 133 FSB, recognizes processor as 1250MHz instead of 1667Mhz. When I remove J17 jumper to select 133 the system will not even POST - nothing happens. Put jumper back on (100 FSB) system will boot up.
2) System locks up VERY often - every few minutes. Can't even install windows - have started install about 15 times so far, but never make it through without locking up. Even XCopied all files to HDD to run from there - no good. Did get one install in (Win 98) though had to reinstall as it could not find system.ini on reboot after it locked up.
Have swapped out memory to rule that out, loaded "fail safe" defaults, removed CD/RW drives, unplugged floppy, etc. - cannot make this thing run right. Components all quality parts.
Any ideas? Was very excited about this system, now
just real frustrated after 2 late nights. Lockups make me think motherboard related.

Well done - great jobs on recommendations.
1) I put thermal paste between processor and fan and now temp has dropped to about 104f. System stopped locking up.
2) Removed jumper for 133FSB bus - and it now works as well. System even recognizes processor correctly. System temp now up around 120, though bought an extra case fan (3 total) to help keep cool.
I never expected heat to make a difference like that.
THANK YOU so much for solving this without costing me anything. Great Job!!

I have followed the instructions to move Thunderbird to a new system (from MAC Mavericks to MAC Yosemite), but none of my emails are migrating. Help!

My inbox is empty. I have even tried pointing the profile to the new folder, copied the old data into that folder, but still none of my emails are showing up. Driving me crazy. Any ideas? What I have done so far:
1: copied the old profile folder
2: created a new profile on the new system
3: pasted the old profile data into the new folder
4: checked to make sure that Thunderbird is pointing to the correct profile folder
Still no emails in my inbox! HELP!!!!

Hi I had exactly the same problem, I don't know if you setup your Apple TV before you subscribed to iTunes I match? If you did then I did the same and although all my songs showed up on my Apple TV none of my playlist did.
This is how I fixed it I went into settings on the Apple TV menu and reset the device back to factory default, I then setup the unit again adding in my iTunes username and password etc, ticked the bix that says turn on I match and then went into music
It took a few moments but it said updating once this finished I checked playlists and all my playlists as per my desktop PC were showing up!
I hope this Helios resolve your problem too :)

I installed the new system. I hit the arrows on the top right and now I have no dock - no favorites - no apple bar - I can't even close a window or shut down the computer. Please help

I installed the new system yesterday. A few minutes ago I hit the new arrows in the top right of my screen. I have now lost the dock, the apple bar on top, and my favorites. Could someone tell me how to get my old page back, please.

Press the esc key.
or move the mouse pointer to the top of the screen.
Menu bar and toolbar should drop drop down.
Click the blue double arrows at the top right corner.
Application is in FullScreen mode.
Best.

New System - No POST, No Beep Codes

Hey guys,
So I built a new system last night, powered everything on and everything seemed to come on as expected but there was absolutely nothing on the screen. The system MIGHT be posting properly because I see the keyboard lights flash when I first turn it on, then the Numlock light stays on as normal. Also, when I press the numlock key it toggles the light as it should, and a ctrl-alt-del on the keyboard seems to reset the system as well (fan speeds change and lights blink just as they do when pressing the actual reset button on the case). Additionally, when I had the drives connected it sounded like it was checking them looking for something to boot (even though the hard drive is blank right now). However, I'm not sure that they're just making noise simply because they have power and are doing things like spinning down after not being used for a minute or two.
There are no beeps or alerts coming from the motherboard that I can see/hear. I also disconnected all the drives to see if that helped, but it was still the same thing. I have not yet tried to take the mainboard out of the case and running it with only CPU/RAM/video; I plan to try that tonight as a next step.
I'm guessing that this means there is something wrong with the video card, but I'm not 100% sure, and wanted to see if others had ideas before I try exchanging the video card. Unfortunately I don't have another PCI-E system that I can simply test the video card in.
This motherboard should beep if it detects a problem, correct?
Are there any LEDs on the board that could help me diagnose something? I don't think it came with a D-bracket. There are the 4 CPU_Phase LEDs on the board, and I believe two of them are lit up while it's running, but I'm not sure how to interpret those LEDS. Anyone know what exactly they indicate (more than what the manual says, which is just that 2, 3, or 4 lights indicates that the CPU is in 2-phase 3-phase, or 4-phase power modes).
Am I correct in assuming that since the lights on the keyboard seem to behave as normal and that ctrl-alt-del works as normal that the motherboard is probably okay?
Any other ideas or suggestions?
Thanks!

You can try to clear CMOS and try out with another video card.

New system recommendations and suggestions

I am in the market (finally) for a new system, and even though I had issues with my old MSI 975X Platinum PUE at the end, it served me well for over 6 years, so I'm pretty much sold by MSI.
This is what I am looking at right now, but I would like to know if there are known issues with the compatibility/functionality of these components:
-MSI Z87 MPower MAX
-Intel i7-4770K CPU
-Corsair Vengeance 16G (2x8G) RAM - (I may bump this to 32G)
-MSI GeForce GTX 760 2G DDR5 Video
-UltraX4 Extreme PSU
-Win7 Ulitmate 64Bit
I will also be getting another smaller (500GB) HD to use just for the OS and my VMWare items in addition to the 1.5T and 1T drives I have now.
Another question I have is that the CPU comes with a stock fan. Will this be sufficient or should I be looking at something else?
And being that my budget is around $1000 - $1200, is there something better you can recommend that will match the performance of what I selected?
Thank you

For your needs, I see no reason for 32GB of RAM. You don't want to mix two kits anyway even if they have the exact same part numbers. They may be from different batches or even have different chips on them. On my Z87, I am only using 8GB of RAM and having no problems.
Great choice on that CPU cooler! All my rigs have 9900's on them. They do outstanding and have helped me attain some impressive OC's using them.
The Corsair HX850W is what I use as well. Excellent PSU!
Probably one port is DVI-s and the other is DVI-d? The BIOS will probably recognize the discrete card is installed and set the graphics automatically to PEG mode.
A word of caution though. The GTX 760 may need a Legacy VBIOS to work right out of the box. If that happens, a UEFI/BIOS update may help or the VBIOS will need to be flashed. The onboard graphics can be used in the meantime to get the flashing done and the GTX 760 taken care of if it needs it. That is why some of us recommended the GTX 6xx series. They usually don't have any problems out of the box.

I recently upgraded to Yosemite. Yesterday when I opened up the iPhoto (which I have it in my external drive due to the size of file) I get the message that it is not compatible with the new system(or something like that) and ask me to upgrade so I did. Then another message pops ups and asked for rebuilding the Thumbnails. So I clicked rebuild. Next it asked me to do one of three things(I can't remember all of them) so I chose the last one which is to download a photo to iPhoto. Now I only have that photo I downloaded in iPhoto file but not the rest of my pictures. The iPhoto library which is stored in my EHD shows it has 349GB but it only show one thumbnail of the last picture I downloaded after the rebuild process. What can I do to recover the rest of the file?
Thanks for your help.

My Windows 7 Professional desktop system hard disk got corrupted and I took the opportunity to install an SSD for a new system disk and reinstall Windows. The system is up and running on the SSD, with my old system disk now used for storage as it is still readable. The only Adobe product I have reinstalled so far is Reader XI but I would like to reinstall Elements 8 and Acrobat 9 without taking up more licences as both are also installed on my laptop. Can you point me to the best way to do this? - Thanks

If you have the two allotted activations already and one was lost on the hard drive that failed then you need to contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations.

How to do initialization for new system setup?

Hi, Experts:
I need your help! Can you tell me your suggestion please?
This is a new system setup. We are about to test on the Initialization/Delta process.
The data source is 2LIS_13_VDITM 7.0 version. The test is on the PSA.
I have done an EARLY Initialization. On R3 system, if a billing record is canceled, we are able to capture it in the RSA7. Then, we did a delta load which were successfully tranferred to BW system.
However, if I created a new order and push it to Billing, I am NOT able to find it on RSA7 of the Delta queue.
That would mean, the delta queue could not capture any new billing records.
Then, besides the early init, we tried to do an Initialization without Data Transfer in the hope that this could resolve the new records issue, it doesn't allow to do it, saying "no 2 initialization".
What is the right way to do initialization??
Thanks guys!!

Hello Sylvia,
Changing it to new delta mode need not clean out everything in BW.
its a change in R/3 side on how delta records will be pushed.
Delta queue will remain the same in R/3.
But since you have already missed some records and you are not sure which one.
Also the existing records in the delta queue are not the correct one as these are not bringing new records according to you.
So I will suggest you after you have done the changes to queued delta....do a fresh start.
Delete the data from the DSO.
1)delete the existing and do a new init without data transfer so that a new delta queue is created.
2)Fill the set up tables first and start the full repair loads to DSO.
3)once all the history is loaded then you can schedule the delta.
Thanks

I did a system upgrade (clean install) to Snow Leopard. I now have lost all of my Firefox bookmarks. Should they be somewhere in my backup files (on an external drive)? How do I locate them? And, how do I restore them to Firefox in the new system?

Where would the Bookmarks be filed in my system backup? Can I move them to the new system (Internal drive)?

Hi drnels,
Are you saying you still have access to the backup? If you do, you should take a look at [[Backing up your information]]. It will show you where all of your personal information is stored in Firefox and how you can copy it to a new install.
Hopefully this helps!

IBook G4 - Upgrade or Buy New System

I need help making a decision: is it reasonable to upgrade my iBook G4 (RAM, operating system) (+bigger hard drive?); or do I need to abandon it and buy a newer system? My considerations are: 1) DC-inboard is probably flaky. Even with a new power supply and power adapter, the battery intermittently stops charging (the LED light goes out). I have to unplug it from the power strip and move the plug to a different outlet on the strip to get it going again. 2) I'm using Safari 1.3.2 and more web sites are thumbing their noses at my "unsupported/outdated" browser. 3) The other software I use is fairly basic: MS Word 98 (running under Classic); Reunion; Photoshop Elements 2.0; Appleworks 6.0. 4) The hard drive has about 15mb free. 5) It might be Christmas but I am seriously unemployed, which is why I have been waffling over this decision for months. Thanks for y'all's suggestions.

Hi, UUWoman:
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
It might be Christmas but I am seriously unemployed
That's a difficult place to be. I know as some of my family are there. However, even with your tight finances, it seems to be that updating your computer will be more cost effective than purchasing a new or newer computer. Let's take your issues in order..
1. We'll begin with the HDD. Your drive is dangerously full. Besides, your computer is now 5 years old. The average life of a laptop internal HDD is 3 to 5 years. So in addition to your drive being too full it is liable to fail without notice. I believe that is your top priority. You can buy a new HDD for $50 to $100. If you can install it yourself you will save $75 or so. The DC-in board can be changed at the same time. Cost less than $20.
Instead of Safari I suggest you try Camino 1.6.10, which looks like Safari, but it is faster, more stable and more powerful. Free download.
So, your costs so far would be, let's say $75 for a new HDD, $20 for the DC-in Board if you do it yourself, or add $75 for installation. For less than $200 you will have your computer functional again. You will need around $700 for a used MacBook or $1000 for a new one.
May I suggest that if you are unable to upgrade your drive and you have valuable information on it, that you back it up immediately. You can also try to lean things down, but with so little HDD free capacity you hardly have room for working. Dr. Smoke's FAQ Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk is an excellent guide for clearing some breathing space.
Please do post back with further questions or comments.

I have lost all files in inbox 2 times. On a new system with Win 8.1

At startup, system goes into "disk repair" for a few minutes then boots normally.
The only thing that appears to be missing is files in thunderbird inbox.
System is a Lenovo k450e. It first happened in September about 3 weeks after
migrating email to the new system. Then happened again today. (11/7) Lenovo tech
support was no help. They suggested reinstalling thunderbird. They thought
I might have an "incompatable" version.
I am running the latest Ver ( 31.2.0) . I have 3 email accounts set up. Yesterday, I did delete a bunch of files from the Inbox on one of the IDs. On Both occasions the inboxes of the 2 active accounts were lost. The inbox on the inactive account appears ok. That account has not received any messages on this system. Also, I have never performed the "file compression"
or what ever it is called in thunderbird on this system...
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Thanks. I will try this. My previous machine was running Vista and I
rarely compacted folders. NEVER had a problem. Apparently
Win 8.1 is more sensitive to this.

Lockups on new system! Help!!!
