Lots of Annoyong issues with new MS-6330

Here it is:
MS-6330
400 watt PS
Athlon XP 1800
256 Kingston
Cheap Vid card (not sure what it is, using only to get system up and running)
Western Dig HDD
DVD player
CDRW
Problem # 1
Put a new system together a couple of days ago...started with hang at splash screen, which prevented BIOS access.  A couple of hours of trying everything, I was able to enter BIOS by simply plugging in the floppy drive.  After installing WXP SP1, I figured to unplug it (don't need it, nor do I want it).  This simple formula expains it all:
Floppy connected = Boot Fine
Floppy not connected = No Boot
Go figure.  Endless tweeks produced nothing.  
Problem # 2
The memory test insists on cycling 3 times before it finally decides to boot.  Pressing "escape" produces mixed result, as 50% of the time it will proceed to OS, the other 50% proceed to nothing (hang up, forced to reset and roll the dice again, or play the stupid thing's silly game).
Problem # 3
This may or may not be a problem at all.  BIOS indicates presence of primary master (HDD), but no secondary master or slave, both of which are present and work fine (so far!).  After the memory test (during which I read "War and Peace") the detection occurs fine.  Like I said, its not a problem, but I suspect it probably will be.
Finally, this is my first experience with MSI.  I suspect it will be my last, unless I happen to trip over one at the dump.  I am on Day 3 of what I was hoping wouldn't progress further than Hour 3.  The board is one more scream session away from ending up in the dumpster, so any attempts to save its life would be considered an act of mercy.  Feeling charitable?

All very informative posts, but alas all have been tried without success.  The floppy drive works, no probs there.  Floopy seek disabled, cmos cleared, battery unplugged, I even tried to bribe it with 20 bucks.  Nothing.  
Sorry about the posting in the wrong section.  Frustration breeds ignorance in this case.
Has either of you EVER seen such a thing.  I thought I've seen it all, but this one...holy crap.  I've built at least 50 boxes...never seen this goofy crap.  I'll keep plugging away at this thing, hopefully it will fix itself (insert laughter here).

  • Should I buy a new MBP?  (Lots of small issues with mine)

    Hi,
    There are a number of small but irritating problems with my MBP. Talking with a friend who has had her macbook into apple service 3 times now for replacements a lot more serious than my problems, I'm sure Apple won't replace the computer. A friend who has bought a couple MBPs now (later week version) has had very little problem with his.
    Specifically, the issues I'm having are as follows:
    1) CPU whine (I know this can't be fixed)
    2) Fan "moo"/clunk. The computer sounds like a small helicopter at times and at the best of times is always noisy..
    3) Heat issues - using the comp anywhere but on a flat surface (i.e. on my lap) and it heats up intensely. I know this is an issue with all computers, but compared to my powerbook it's night and day.
    4) Lag Issues. Doing ANYTHING takes a "long" time. I need to reformat but from opening firefox to booting up the computer or even sometimes mousing over the icon tray.
    5) Red headphone led. My internal speakers no longer work. I've read the problem has something to do with the headphone jack being stuck. Some fixes I've read include using a match stick, plugging in the headphones again (doesn't work).
    6) My display flickers slightly now also. Seems to synch with the fan "moo"ing.
    I'm using macintosh now because I like avoiding hassles. I switched from PC a few years ago after going through lots of issues and the powerbook was AWESOME. I'm assuming the macbookpro is going to eventually stabilize and work well also, is it there yet? Shall I buy a new one and just dump the current or will it be the same thing all over?
    Macbook Pro / 12" Powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.6)

    Thanks for all the advice, it's appreciated. Particularly the advice to go down to the mac store and talk to a guru. I'm going to do that tomorrow.
    I've been able to tolerate things up until the latest bug, the fan now periodically starts spinning like a helicopter. It's way beyond anything I've dealt with.. I can't listen to music it's so loud and it disturbs anyone else around (clearly needs a fix).
    I can't send it in to be repaired as I can't do without a computer for that long. This said I thought to connect the new and old machine and copy the most important files over.
    (No I won't dump this lemon on someone else without letting them know about the issues. It may well be worthwhile to someone willing to nurse it through the various mac warranty & update issues. Eventually they may well end up with a new MBP).

  • Windows Media Player plugin does not install on a fresh install of Firefox 15. This is a real issue with new students.

    I have them go to the correct site:
    plugin download page on Interoperability Bridges.
    My only options are:
    1. Have them move some files over manually; which isn't feasible with students who are technically challenged.
    2. Have them install an earlier version of Firefox. 11 is the last known good version that accepts the WMP install. The problem I am finding with this is even though I tell them not to update before installing WMP somehow they still manage to do it. A lot of times they don't know how to tell me what version of ANY browser they are using.
    Firefox is one of the few browsers that work with our LMS well, but this plug problem is a real issue.
    This only pertains to any student who has never had Firefox on their computer prior to 11.
    Thanks in advance.

    I noticed it after 11, however with 12 students students experienced problems with puzzles in Angel LMS. We had people roll back to 11.
    13 came out and that's when the trouble started. I usually stay in beta so I can get a idea of what's working. Once again I had people roll back to 11.
    I logged into a system here I had not logged into before and did a fresh install of 11 and I was able to recreate the problem myself.
    Getting people on 11 is a little harder this semester because I had to locate the 11 install and send that along with the plugin to new users. The 11 install likes to force the 15 update so they have to get the plugin installed right away. Sometimes the concept is a little much for some people.
    Edit: 12 might have been okay, since we were rolling back anyway. I don't recall any issues with WMP the few weeks students had been using it.
    Edit 2: I do remember trying to search these forums for the issue and someone posted that they had been experiencing the same problems with 12 beta (at the time it was beta) and I think it was explained as being a beta issue and it never went anywhere else.

  • I need lots of USB ports with New Mac Pro, now what?

    because I'm in the audio business I needs lot of USB ports with my Mac Pro. On my current 2008 machine, that's not really an issue, with 5 ports on teh MP itself and I installed some USB hubs over PCIe that give me a total of 13 port. I'm not really sure what is the best way to get that amount on the new MP.
    Oh, and I really like the stability of my current set up. Before I went with an external USB Hub that always gave me headaches with ports not being recognized.

    The only two things I found so far are:
    a/ going back to the external USB hubs, which I find very frustrating to work with, because instable with connection and I would need to add some interface to go from USB to TB (which are also rather expensive at the moment)
    b/ use some external PCIe enclosures that are really expensive.
    So I havent really found the right solution for my situation. Which makes me hesitant to migrate to new MP at the moment.

  • Quality issues with new Mac Mini 09?

    I've been itching to hit the 'buy' button -- but in reading the many postings about the new Mac Mini, I'm seeing lots of issues with the bluetooth ... *wireless signal* ...
    Is there anyone who's not experiencing any problems?
    Sounds like it may be a hardware issue with connections... the last thing I want.
    My other choice is the 2008 Mac Pro which seems trouble free.
    What do you think?
    Thanks.

    There is a general issue/trend with the new Mini. There are plenty of reports in these forums and the news has begun to hit the wider press; I guess this is more important to a company with only 2-3% desktop share than posts to these forums. I went to the Genius Bar on Saturday and they have now lodged an official bug report with Apple. It looks like the Mini cannot pair with more than one HCI device. So if you pair with the mouse first the keyboard won't work and vice-versa. They don't think the Mini hardware is broken but that we will just have to wait for Apple to fix the firmware.
    Where I do agree is that some issues are OS-X 10.5 related and can therefore affect all Macs. The WiFi has issues where it randomly drops, it doesn't seem able to re-connect at all to channels above 13 and only manually to channels below 12. The system resume function is unreliable. All these started when we moved from 10.4 to 10.5 and so far they have not been addressed. One issue is that there does not appear to be a way for users to log bug reports, except when software crashes. However, the bluetooth issues on the Mac do appear real and are either firmware or hardware related.

  • Strange Printing Issue With New HP & Pages

    Hello!
    I have a very strange printing issue with a new HP printer. I have written pages documents heavy in Texts which are located within tables. The documents print fine on a Cannon and Epson printer and look great but when I print the document on my new HP Laserjet Pro 400 Colour M451nw some of the text on some rows come out of the printer looking like they are bold / slightly fuzzy. This only happens with some of the rows of text, not all of them. The font is the same in every row with the same format.
    You can see this in the attached image. The first line (Thanks very much) has printed correctly but the subsequent lines look bold / slightly fuzzy.
    After a lot of testing the only way I can resolve this is if I copy the content into a new pages document and only then it will print and look ok with the HP printer.
    This must be a problem within my origional document. I would simply copy and paste everything into a new document however this would take a very, very long time (over 5 years of work producing teaching materials and over 100 documents and thousands of tables and formatting that cannot be copied and pasted).
    Also, on other printers you can see the lines seperating each row of the table. These lines are not visible on the HP print outs, even when the table is copied into a new document.
    Has anyone come accross an issue like this before? Is there a way I can fix this without creating a new document? Do I need to get a new another new printer (the 4th printer this week!)?
    Any advise, wise words would be greatly apprechiated!
    Thanks!

    Sorry, Fruhulda. After 4 hours on the phone with Apple care they are taking this issue further themselves. It seems to be a problem with our pages document and the compatibility with certain drivers. We have still not gotton to the bottom of it and Apple are going to get back to me when they have an answer.
    We also worked out that the issue only happens when you print via Ethrenet & USB. Printing via Wifi is ok and there are no quality issues.
    Very Strange!

  • Idoc flatfile to IDOC xml issue with new PI7.11 module SAP_XI_IDOC/IDOCFlat

    Hi,
    I am trying to develop a scenario as mentioned in the blog using the new module available in PI7.1,but I am getting this error
    "Error: com.sap.conn.idoc.IDocMetaDataUnavailableException: (3) IDOC_ERROR_METADATA_UNAVAILABLE: The meta data for the IDoc type "ORDERS05" is unavailable."
    I have made every configuration correct and IDOC meta data available in both SAP R3 and PI,but it is still complaning about the meta data does not exist.
    Blog:  http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/13743%3Fpage%3Dlast%26x-order%3Ddate
    did anybody face issue with the new module available "SAP_XI_IDOC/IDOCFlatToXmlConvertor",please help me or give me mre information why I am getting this meta data error.
    Thank you,
    Sri

    Hi Sri,
    To Convert IDOC Flat file into IDOC xml from the given blog, the IDOC flat file should be present in standard format like:
    E2EDK01005                    0000047110815000000000001.........
    E2EDKA1003                    0000047110815000000000002.........
    E2EDKA1003                    0000047110815000000000003..........
    E2EDKA1003                    0000047110815000000000004........
    The Flat file have relationship as IDOC Number "000004711081500000" and segment sequence "0000001".
    If your flat file is not in this formate so i don't think that module is able to convert into IDOC xml. and if your file is already in this format then it may be issue with destinations which are created in NWA.
    Thanks

  • Issue with new abap webdynpro INBOX EHP5

    Hello Experts,
    I'm currently working on the configuration of ESS/MSS services in EHP5. We are using different services like Appraisal OSA, Learning solution,etc. I already configured the Launchpad ESS, it's working fine but now I have an issue with the new Abap webdynpro INBOX. The employee and manager see their workitem notifications correctly in their respective inbox.(I'm calling application: IBO_WDA_INBOX that I integrated in my launchpad).
    My problem is that when clicking on a workitem in order that it opens me the appraisal document (in edit or display mode), I got an error saying: "There is no iView available for system "": object "SWF_WIOBN". For more information, contact your administrator."
    I did some search on SAP help without any results. I'm wondering how should I register workflow tasks? I saw there is a table called IBO_C_WF_TAS (I added entries e.g:
    IBO_WDA_INBOX TS99700031   EXECUTEAPPRAISALDOCUMENT).
    I tried also to register all my custom tasks in transaction SWFVISU.
    example:
    TASK: TS99700013
    Visualization Type: ABAP Webdynpro
    APPLICATION:    HAP_MAIN_DOCUMENT
    DYNPARAM   :    sap-wd-configId=HAP_AC_MAIN_DOC
    NAMESPACE :    sap
    SYSTEM_ALIAS: SAP_Webdynpro_XSS (I did create a system in sap portal under System Administration with as AS property /webdynpro/dispatcher )
    Could you let me know what could be wrong, what I missed? Shall I create an iView, if yes which one? which properties?
    I would really appreciate any help.
    Thanks!

    Hello Siddharth,
    Thanks for you reply. Still the same issue. Following are the config I did till now:
    In the PCD I created a new business object (SWF_WIOBN), an operation linked to the object (NAVIGATE).
    I did create an iView (powl) in the custom folder, I integrated the operation within iView. I created a page that contains the iView.
    In the properties of the iView I gave:
    Application Name: HAP_MAIN_DOCUMENT.
    Launch in New Window: "Display in separate Headerless Portal Window".
    System: SAP_ECC_HumanResources
    I added the required entries in tables:
    IBO_C_WF_TTAS
    IBO_C_WF_ACS
    IBO_V_WF_TAC
    IBO_V_WF_TTAC
    etc...
    I saw in the code of linked feeder class: CL_IBO_INBOX_FEEDER_WI  that it's checking something called "Launch_Editor".. Is it a property that we can set somewhere?
    Following are the parameters retrieved by system:
    BO_NAME       =  SWF_WIOBN
    BO_OP_NAME = NAVIGATE
    LAUNCHER_PARAMETERS ->  empty.??
    BO_RESOLVE_MODE = USER_SET_OF_ROLES
    LAUNCH_EDITOR  empty where must be set?
    At the end I still get the error:
    There is no iView available for system "": object "SWF_WIOBN". For more information, contact your administrator.
    Any advice,
    Thanks in advance

  • Issues with newer version of Acrobat Reader

    I'm not looking for advice or a fix for this problem. I'm simply posting it so that hopefully, the folks at Adobe will get a clue & take the issues with their software seriously. The real fix here is for them to quit ignoring bugs in their software and correct the code. Anyway...
    In the most recent versions of Acrobat Reader (looks like specifically to X & XI), it seems to be hit or miss as to whether Reader will open PDF attachments in Outlook email. Typically, when I double-click on a PDF attachment, nothing happens. An instance of AcroRd32.exe is created as a process (which hangs), but the PDF file doesn't open. If I make the mistake of double-clicking on the file again, another instance of AcroRd32.exe sucks up more of my system resources. This will occur for each time I double-click on the attachment. Sometimes I get lucky, and it will open the PDF file. Sometimes, if I right-click on the attachment and select open, it will do so. Most times, it just does the same thing as double-clicking.
    I've scoured the forums, searched online... Lots of people have reported this or similar problems. Solutions have been offered up, which don't work for most users. etc., etc., etc.
    It's just like the issue that Adobe has had for years with Acrobat - The software is notorious for remaining in memory as a process, long after you've closed the PDF file you opened. And likewise, for each PDF file you open, yet another instance of the software loads into & consumes memory.
    Adobe has had problems like this for years. They never have taken it seriously, they never choose to fix it.
    So, as I said in the beginning of the post - I'm not looking for a fix. I came up with my own fix - I deleted version XI, located an old copy of 9.4 & installed it.
    Nope, I'm not looking for solutions or support. I simply wanted to ***** about it.
    Doubt Adobe will even notice the post, and if they do, they'll just operate like they always have... Hope that their sloppy code just magically fixes itself.

    This is a user forum, and not the place to file bug reports to Adobe.  So you are right: your post won't be noticed by the Acrobat developers.  Nor would it give them enough information to reproduce the problem.
    P.S. I never had a problem opening Outlook attachments with Adobe Reader.  If I had, I would start by disabling Protected Mode, which is the most common cause for a multitude of problems in Adobe Reader.

    I'm having graphics issues with my new 15" mid-2014 2.8 MacBookPro Retina.  It came with Yosemite.  I keep get glitchy

  • I am having issues with new version of Final Cut Pro, is there away to download the last version so I can finish my projects?

    I am having major issues with the new version of Final Cut x, I have missing clips and my computer is locking up, I need to finish some projects so is there away to go back to the last version before the new update?

    Not unless you have saved a copy of the previous version; also, any libraries that you have updated to use in the newer version will not be usable in the older version anyway.
    Rather than going back you should try and figure out what is wrong. The current version works great for most users. Start by clearing your preferences: hold down command and option keys while starting FCP X, and confirm when asked. Many different issues can often be solved by just that.
    In case it doesn't solve, please provide more detailed information like OS version, Ram, drive and connection, etc

  • Having issues with new iPad mini retina 128 dropping wifi

    New ipad mini have issues with dropping signal while I am in the middle of connection.  I can be reading a book or email and it will just drop the connection.  When I try to hook back up it says it cannot join.  My iphone 5c is right next to me and is connecting fine.  It is frustrating when  I am in the middle of taking notes in an area and it drops the signal and I lose everything.  I can be 5 feet away and it will not hook up.  Also, I have reset the network settings and started all over.  It helped for a day or so and it started all over again.  Also, I have reset and turned off and on my router to assure the signal connections.  I am now in the process of taking it back for a replacement.  Apple says it is a hardware issue. 

    I'm experiencing the same problem.
    But my old iPad mini is connecting fine.
    I think it is a firmware or software problem?
    I hope Apple will fix this issue on an update sooner!
