M8530f desktop PC with a m2n78-la mother board doesn't see my drives

i have a m8530f desktop PC with a m2n78-la mother board it doesn't see my drives for some reason. i thought it might be a bios problem. is there any way to fix this or do i need to get another board

Before you begin, disconnect everything from the computer (USB devices, printers, floppy disks, and CD/DVD discs) but leave the mouse, monitor and keyboard connected. You already checked and made sure that the power and data cables have a good connection to your drives and the motherboard now go to your BIOS Setup (should be F10) and reset the BIOS to its' defaults (should be F5 and then press the enter key). Arrow over to the Main screen and the hard drive should be recognized. Exit BIOS and save the changes. The computer should load the Windows OS if it's installed on the hard drive. If you get into Windows, check the Device Manager to make sure that the drive is showing up there too. If the hard drive was not detected, after you save the changes and exit the BIOS, turn off the computer. Disconnect the power cord from the back of the PC then press the power button on the computer for 5 seconds. Reconnect the power cord and turn on the computer and see if it boots up. If it still doesn't boot up, try a different SATA connection on the motherboard (one that hasn't been used). If that doesn't help, disconnect the Memory card reader connections inside the computer and try to boot again. If it still doesn't work and since you already tried a new hard drive, I would suspect a SATA controller/bus problem and you may need to install a SATA controller card to resolve the problem.

Boot poblems with Asus M2A-VM mother board

I have been trying a couple of motherboards with AMD athlon 64 chips, including the Asus M2A-VM motherbaord.
I can't seem to get the kernel on either the Voodo or Duke install disks to go past the "Freeing unused kernel memory " stage.
I have tried all the options but as yet have had no joy.
Any suggestions?
(The non 64 bit version runs like a dog on the same motherboard, I mean slower than I would find acceptable on a 486!)

Update, The M2A-VM is the one with the AMD 690G northbridge and ATI SB600 south, and has more problems.
The one I am currently actually using is the Asus M2V-MX with a VIA K8M890 north, and VIA VT 8237A south.

Please help: New MSI R6770 with MSI MS-7093 main board doesn't POST

I'm upgrading my son's HP a1130n which has an OEM MSI MS-7093 main board. I purchased the MSI R6770 based on a local retailer's advice.
I took the following steps:
- upgraded the power supply to a Cooler Master RS500-PCARD3-US 500W
- set the BIOS to boot with PCI-E video
- installed video card, attached 6 pin power connector, and powered on
With the video card installed, the computer runs all fans at maximum speed. No POST beep.
After taking the card out, the computer returns to normal.
I thought I'd ask for advice here before returning the card. Thanks.

Thanks for the response.
I would have to purchase a card to try it. One of the main reasons I went with this card is that with the motherboard layout the RAM is directly in line with the PCI-E slot. Many of the NVIDIA cards have a long form factor with a large fan housing that would physically interfere with the RAM.
So there's a known problem with the current generation of ATI cards on some motherboards? In that case, going to a lower powered Radeon series wouldn't help?

Nvidia 7300/7600gt desktop users with Aperture graphic corruption read:

Not promising anything, but consider installing the January 19, 2010 "Graphics Firmware Update 1.0 (iMac and Mac Pro) compatibility with Windows 7" then perform a restart as per the installer. Then restart while resetting PRAM (I have done this numerous times before this update, so don't even think of suggesting this was the fix) and then shut down for good measure and reboot again....what the ****....
EXPLANATION:
I have a new HD, new RAM, new clean Aperture and OS install. I have been trying to determine the source of my woes for months. I also performed a complete check of the innards of my machine (checking voltages, yanking mother boards and GPU board for visual inspections, capacitor failures, connections, traces, etc......all to prove everything looked great with little dust) But I still had issues.
For kicks, even though I am not running WIndows 7 or BootCamp (I use VMWare for XP Pro) I updated the graphics firmware in my computer. It says: "Download and install the Graphics Firmware Update 1.0 IF YOU RUN WINDOWS 7 using Boot Camp on your iMac (with NVIDIA GeForce 7300 or 7600 GT) or Mac Pro (with NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT or Quadro FX 4500) computer." (Capital emphasis mine) Furthermore, some descriptions I have seen for this refer to "early 2008" models...clearly not mine...though Apple, to my knowledge, never made iMacs in 2008 with a 7300/7600 GT card. They were produced in 2006 and early 07.
I originally assumed this update was not required or recommended for those of us NOT using WIndows 7 (and perhaps this assumption is correct, technically). Well, I did the update, and since performing this update...I am nervous to even suggest this....I see the graphic corruption has not occurred while making adjustments. I have even used screen sharing with Aperture in full screen mode with success....crazy, I know.
This is...so far...a miracle. It also proves in my twisted dementia and euphoria, that it was NOT (here comes the jinx) hardware failure related, but rather a driver or firmware issue. (of course you will see a follow up about how this was an awful idea plagued with problems and no fix for Aperture....but be patient, all good drama needs time)
Let me be clear, the update never popped up via software update and the update itself says it is for windows 7 boot camp users of which I am NOT...
The ROM Revision # has changed in "About This Mac" TO 3467 FROM 3021. I cannot necessarily suggest this was a fix (I have done nothing else, however, to my computer since), but it seems to have worked so far. I have no idea how to roll back this firmware if you should try this, not succeed and suffer problems. But for the risk-takers (not sure how risky this is for the described users) it's worth a shot. Post your experience via this thread, just to confirm if I am imagining this....

Does it still crash if you change your directory that you are exporting to, but leave it in icon mode?
Yes. I just checked, and the 2nd try it crashed when in icon mode to another than the usual directory. Usually I export to the Desktop, now I exported to the home-dir.
Are there other images or pdfs of interesting items in the directory?
My Desktop is usually empty. I tried again exporting random images one by one removing each exported image in between, and after around six times it crashed. So I would say: No.
Do the icon size or text settings have an effect on if you crash or not?
I have tried with 2 sizes 64x64 and 128x128 with the same result: Crash. So I would say No, but I haven't tried all icon sizes.

How do I set the desktop wallpaper with an image in aperture 3?

Sorry for the silly question, but I can't find how to set my desktop wallpaper with an image in aperture 3. It was simple when using Iphoto, but I can't find the method in aperture.
Thanks,
Dale.

Command(⌘)-9 is no longer listed in the list of default keyword shortcuts, and it has no effect.
I wrote a little Automator service to bring the Command(⌘)-9 back.
A copy of this service is here for download:
http://dreschler-fischer.de/scripts/SetDesktopPicture.workflow.zip
This service uses three actions:
Aperture: Get selected images
Export Masters
Finder: Set the Desktop Picture
To install it, open the workflow in Automator and save it as service.
To use it, select any image in Aperture, then activate the service from the Aperture menu -> Services, and it will set the master of the selected image as Desktop picture.
If you like, you can assign the Command(⌘)-9 key to the service (in the System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts Panel) and then turn any image you selected into Desktop wallpaper by simply pressing (⌘)-9.
@Frank Caggiano, if you are still following this thread: for some reason this workflow succeeds with exporting the master, but I could not get it to work with the versions instead. Any ideas?
Caution: this service will clutter the Desktop with the exported images. If you want to avoid that, change the export action to export the image to a different folder.

How can I connect a client java desktop aplication with the server of jsf

I need to connect a desktop aplication with a jsf, I need to know how I plug the desktop aplication. I open a connection and then what. I need to send faceBean or a HTML documment or a EL document class. Please help me. I don't know how to do this. If u have examples or code would be great.

ok, the problem is how to send events to the jsf, how to maintain the session, and other kind of stuffs, this works with the browsers but not with my connection. The problem is not the conecction. The problem is keep the advantages of jsf with my connection. Im using a button in a jsp page connecting to jsf implementation mojarra and works for the events. but with my desktop connection and the same parameters crash with a exception java.util.zip.ZipException: incomplete dynamic bit lengths tree.
this happens when I try to send the next parameter to jsf, javax.faces.ViewState=ANY VALUE.

I have a desktop pc with iTunes. I just purchased a mac air book. Can I sync all of my devices, iPhone, iPod, iPad, to both computers or do I have to pick one. I would like to have iTunes on my mac, but I'm afraid I will run out of hard drive space.

I have a desktop pc with itunes. I just purchased a Mac Air book. Can I sync my devices, iphone, ipod, ipad, to both computers. Or do I have to pick one? I would like to have itunes on my mac, but i am afraid I will run out of hard disk space. Do I need to set up a seperate account on my Mac so I can load some music on it if I plan to keep my devices synced to my PC? Would it be possible to sync only my Iphone to my Mac?

To get that much storage, you need to look to professional online services. Pro-level hosting accounts may offer you that much (well, many will offer as much storage as you are prepared to pay for), or Amazon professional cloud services. You could also store the files on a home machine and pay for a professional hosting service so you could stream them over your own account (assuming your ISP connection and agreement allows for the bandwidth used). You would still need to deal with the issue of finding an app for the iPad that supported avi streaming.

Desktop PC with Windows Vista won't boot up

My Acer Aspire 180 Desktop PC with Windows Vista won't boot up and has a Recovery error message that says it shut down unsuccessfully. Can someone help me with this issue?

If you have Recovery Disk then try to repair install. If you do not have then you have to contact Acer Support for getting them.
Once it is recovered you must update the Graphic Card Driver. Visit the website of the Graphic Card manufacturer to update it.

Dell Dimension 5150 Desktop fitted with a Cohiba w...

Evening all,
I have a Dell 5150 desktop PC with a Cohiba 3887 USB wifi adapter fitted, when I boot up the PC and login, the adapter status is "connected to BT Homehub 2 - TRT2", after about 1 minute the status changes to "unable to connect to your preferred wifi networks". If I then go to the wifi network list and connect manually everything is OK, how can get the adapter to connect automatically. I've had a look at the network setting (several times), the homehub is set to automatically connect, tried changing some of the settings but no joy. Thanks.

Thanks for your reply, I've changed the HH setting to b/g, no change. It looks as though there is a conflict between whatever is connecting the adapter during bootup (BT wireless manager?) and when windows tries to take over and connect to "preferred networks", if I take windows out of the mix by disabling "let windows manage your network connection" in the network settings, it will auto connect to BT Fon, which is not in my preffered network list (only the BT Homehub is) but BT Fon is in my "available network list"........Confused? I certainly am!
The Cohiba driver was installed about a year and a half ago, just before they stopped supporting the adapter, consequently no newer driver available but the adapter does work OK once I've manually connected it.

Adobe AIR desktop app with an embedded runtime

Hi,
Does an Adobe AIR desktop app with an embedded runtime (standalone/portable) that got published on Windows work on a Mac too?
Thanks

No, you need to compile a "bundle" with ADT on each platform. On Windows it creates a directory with an .exe and the AIR runtime. On OS X it creates a .app file.

You need to get the newer version from the Mac App Store.

Using extended desktop mode with ThinkPad x220

I have an Acer AL2216W external monitor. It has a resolution of 1680 x 1050
http://support.acer.com/acerpanam/monitor/0000/Acer/AL2216W/AL2216Wsp2.shtml
When I use extended desktop mode with the external monitor set as the primary display, everything scales properly on both the external and internal monitor.
However, if I set the internal monitor as the primary display, the external display does not fill the screen (there is a big black border around the desktop).
In both cases, the resolution setting for the external monitor is 1680 x 1050.
Is this normal behaviour?

Hello,
That's how Windows behaves. Supposedly Realtime Soft Ltd.'s UltraMon gives you more precise control over wallpaper under Windows, but I have not used it myself.

On wake up the wrong desktop appears with no desktop icons.

Upon waking up computer, a different desktop appears with no icons. I have to shut it down hard and reboot. Doestn't happen all the time but most times it does. Any suggestions on to resolve.

Hi, I had a similar "intermittent" problem. Desktop picture was correct, but no desktop icons after waking up. I found by powering off/on the monitor, seemed to refresh the display and show the icons. However the problem no longer exists, but I haven't changed any settings. I know this probably doesn't help that much, but it may prevent you having to shut down and reboot. Alan.
