Major video issue

ati radeon 9700 pro . i just got it from zipzoomfly.com like a week or two ago, less then 2 weeks maybe, OEM version.  sometimes monitor just goes black, not getting signal from pc. only way to fix is reboot the pc with the reset button. is this the ati radeon 9700 card problem or cus i am overclocked? has happened 2 times while using my pc in the last week or two. also playing games etc is fine, no crashes at all while running my 2.4c at 3ghz.

yeah i am sure cus hitting keys on the keyboard do nothing. control alt delete also doesn't do a thing. the settings are for so many minutes not using the pc go to screen saver and what happens is I'll be like typing and then boom, screen is black and the monitor light flashes, like it's not getting a signal, keyboard doesn't do anything either like hitting keys or control alt delete. the only way to fix is power off the pc which i have not done, or hit the pc case reset button to reboot which i have done.

  • WOW! Major video issues here..and everywhere it seems!!

    I have the latest iTunes version and runnin Windows Vista. Multiple issues with new 64gb ipod touch..well with itunes:
    I can drag and drop new vids, songs pix etc to my touch, but when I go to convert to ipod verison on the vid the screen wither locks up for a minute or so and then lets me choose to convert and this also happens when i go to change the name of the file so they will be in some type of order on my ipod. this wasn't so bad until I starting adding more and more to itunes. I have a 64 gb and still have almost 35 gb available to add, so I have alot but it is far from full.
    i am at the point now wheere itunes just locks up as soon as i click on a vid to convert or change the name and have to force quit to get out of it!?!?!? VERY FRUSTRATED since I just spent over 400 bucks on the dame thing and cant use it as is intended!
    Searched far into the forums for similar issue but found none. Anyone else out there like this?

    OK. I just turned off Genius and itunes is allowing me to go in and delete the larger file before the conversion to ipod version, but it is still very slow when i click on Get Info and Delete. I am afraind to add anything else tho for fear it will only get worse.

  • Major performance Issues after upgrading to 10.9.2

    Hi,
    I have been having major performance issues almost preventing me from using the computer at times.  I suspect I don't have enough memory to run Maverick as the computer was great before I upgraded.
    If any experts or people with ideas for me to speed up the computer, please respond.  If you think the only way to improve performance is add memory or revert back to a previous version of OSX that I have a backup for, let me know.
    Here is the info on my system, thank you in advance!!

    The performance issues are due to third party software. Mavericks at the minimum requires 2GB's of RAM but I don't think that's the issue. And you can upgrade RAM anytime.
    MacKeeper should be uninstalled. It does far more harm than good.
    Do not install MacKeeper: Apple Support Communities

    Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space. Less can slow your Mac down.

  • Major streaming issue!

    Hey Guys,
    I am having major streaming issues with my Macbook and Apple TV. Here is a detailed overview of my setup.
    Netgear 802.11G Router
    SSID off
    WEP 128 Bit hex key
    DHCP
    Wireless devices
    Powerbook G4
    Macbook
    Apple TV
    iPod Touch
    XP laptop
    Wired device
    XP desktop
    All these devices are able to access the wireless network fine - and have no problem connecting to the internet.
    Apple TV is running SW 2.0 - I don't know if the same issue would have occurred in SW 1.0 as I did the SW upgrade on it straight away (getting close to a system reset though)
    I am able to see the Apple TV in iTunes 7.6 and have all the details of my Apple TV.
    When I try to play any of "my movies" I sometimes get an error saying can't recognize file type or something along those lines - or it just gets stuck on a black screen with the buffering "spinning gear" winding till the Apple TV goes in to the screen saver.
    I tried on many different resolutions but it did not fix the issue.
    The same thing happens with TV Shows and Podcasts - haven't tried YouTube just yet.
    I am able to play movie trailers though both standard definition and high definition.
    Another thing to mention is the load up of the Apple TV is very jittering and stutters.
    The thing that makes me wonder is I ran it on another Netgear G router network earlier today and everything went fine - and I was able to playback videos that I am not able to do now - which kind of makes me look at the network - but the fact that HD trailers load almost instantly and play fine makes me think perhaps Apple TV? The fact it doesn't load smoothly concerns me.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I just removed Apple TV from iTunes and cleared an connections in "Computer" tab of Apple TV and reset everything - still the same issue.
    Apple TV loads very jittery and it doesn't load video files to playback - but it does playback music and movie trailers. I am guessing it has no problems with the trailers as that is not something that gets accessed via the Macbook. Really starting to think this could be a bandwidth issue know, just weird that it was all hunky dory on another G network! Besides all my laptops get full reception where the Apple TV is situated and I can't think of any interference in the position that it is in.
    Any other ideas people - don't want to have to shell out for a base station just right now.

  • Jabber for iPad video issue

    How can I troubleshoot video issues?
    I setup the iPad device (G711) and then placed a call to a Jabber for Windows (G729) phone. Audio worked fine but no video. I changed the Jabber for Windows to G711 and video started working?
    Is Jabber for iPad going to support G729 and if so when?
    Thanks,
    Doug

  • Kernel Panic on iMac with Pixelated Video Issues

    Re: Kernel Panic on iMac Intel Core 2 Duo with Lion 10.7.1, 4gb RAM
    27-sep-2011 11:53 (in response to jose guzman) Launch the Apple Hardware Test program, run the extended tests at least twice, and then download and run Rember. All indications are that you have bad or flaky RAM.
    27" i7 iMac 10.6.8 , Mac OS X (10.7.1), G4 450 MP 1.5 GB RAM w/(10.5.8/10.4.11/9.2.2) 
    I did that and it doesn't work

  • HT5313 What video issues were there on 10.7.4 that got fixed in 10.7.5? Any details?

    The OS X update bulletin for 10.7.5 lists that one of the fixes in this update is
    * Resolve a video issue with some VGA projectors when connected to certain Mac notebooks.
    What is really being addressed? Any details?

    Hi Tony, Ben and others,
    I'm not sure it was the same problem, but a little while ago I have problems too with RADIUS not working on Lion,
    and by searching for solutions I found out that it's necessarily to edit /etc/raddb/clients.conf
    My problem here it didn't work was with the shared secret.
    So I edited /etc/raddb/clients.conf and put at the end of the file :
    client  10.0.0.0/24 {
            secret          =  shared-secret-type-what-you-want-here
            shortname       = private-network
    BEFORE I started RADIUS and added AE's to it
    I hope it solves your problem too …
    GreetingZz John
    PS For some strange reason I had to change the
          'Wireless Security" from WPA2 Personal ---> WPA2 Enterprice on each AE manualy
         But maybe that's just a little bug in when opening the AE in Airport Utility 6.1 cause is WAS
         working before I looked into the AE's
    PPS iPV6 not changed here

  • Macbook Pro for major video editing

    Hey guys. I'm hoping you can help me out. I'm looking to invest into a notebook because im having a baby and she will be taking my office space where I currently have my 2011 27in I5 imac set up. I do some pretty major video editing in Final cut pro x and  if i get graphics intensive ( Plugins, filters, effects etc) I get lag. I'm thinking of getting the 15in Retina MBP 2.7GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.7GHz  and 16GB of ram.. What I need to know is will this machine be a great machine to do motion graphics and all my editing as a main system. I dont want to upgrade for years. I have a 24 in external monitor that i'd use along side it. But what im hoping for is a much smoother user experence while editing my videos other than the lag i get when I get intensive on the graphics currently. I need a definitave answer to this question to give me peace of mind with such a large purchase.  Thanks in advance.

    If your going to use a laptop, your choosing the right one, get it built out with all the top shelf options. Large drive, max Apple RAM, top of the line everything.  Of course you realize, by te time you get it out of the box, it will be obsolete. (But that's true with any electronics;)  Congrats on your child.

  • Audio and Video issue with Windows 8.1 upgrade on Ideapad n585

    I upgraded my Ideapad N585 to Windows 8.1 the other day, took forever, but it made it through.  Unfortunately, I now get boot erors for the Dolby software, and the AMD Vision/Catalysyt Control Center.  Neither of these programs are able to start, from startup or even manually.  They just won't run.  Sound seems to come out fine still, but I do have video issues. 
    First off, my computer doesn't seem to recognize a HDtv as a monitor through the HDMI port.  I still get an image, but it's set to current screen resolution instead of 1080i.  I tried using the detect button to force it to look for a second monitor (my TV), but it showed nothing connected, though at the time I was using two screens.  Now my monitor's screen resolution seems to be a little higher than my TV's, but it doesn't fit the screen properly, and will sometimes put a black border around the desktop, not using the full screen.  I have also noticed, that when plugged into the tv, if a background program like a screen saver starts (and I am one of the few people who still use them, I like BOINC, sue me), it will reset the screen resolution to what it requires.  When the program exits, the screen resolution stays, and that becomes the new max screen resolution until I restart the computer.  So far, it only does this through the tv, if I run the laptop monitor alone, it doesn't happen.
    I did try updating the software with what's available through the support site, but nothing happened.  I even went as far as to use the Windows 9x~XP standbys of completely uninstalling, manually removing everything from the system registry I could find relating to these two programs, and then finally reinstalling the software.  Giving the audio and video a complete clean slate to work from, and got no positive results.  I restart the computer, Dolby and Catalyst won't boot, and blind to HDtv.  Problems as described above still apply.
    Anybody else have this issue?  Anybody got a fix?

    have you found a solution to this?
    My computer updated to 8.1 without my wanting it to, I have the same problems as you. I installed the video driver because the brightness was locked on what I had it. (the bar would move but did not change)
    I searched for brightness and n585 and I was able to find a driver, now brightness works but HDMI still does not. When I plug in the TV both screens go black with all 4 options in the "project" screen.
    *edit*
    this worked for me i stumbled across this
    I unplugged the power cable with the hdmi cable plugged in. Hit (windows key+p) scrolled to duplicate and it worked.I plugged in the power cord back in and it still worked. 

  • Video issues in mac os 10.6.4 and windows 7 64x

    To start with, my computer is the late 2008 model Imac, has 3g of memory, and wasn't experiencing any video problems until earlier this month. I've already had it serviced, and was told that the issue was resolved, and was unrelated to hardware. Fifteen minutes after repair and setup, the exact same symptoms occur.
    I'm thinking, Ok, perhaps this is a bad install of windows, since it happened in a windows program (everquest 2, an online game), and rebooted into Mac. Almost immediately, I saw video problems (snow, pixels, lines, distortion)on the mac side, which had occurred with the windows side.
    My husband is angry, I'm angry, so I decide that I'm going to trash everything and start off completely fresh. I intended to reinstall mac 10.6.4 after erasing everything, so I removed the windows partition, and attempted to reinstall snow leapard, without using the original leapard disc that came with the system. I didn't realize until too late that I had forgotten to erase the original os, but I figured I'd see if there were any problems and go from there. I had no initial problems with the install of either os (mac or windows), except to note that I couldn't install the apple software updates on the windows side. I was able to fully update the mac side before attempting any installation of the windows os.
    I started having video problems really quickly in the windows side after the full installation and update, but the system disabled the initial nvidia drivers and went to plug and play drivers. The only thing that displayed any further problems was the ISight camera, but that was to be expected without the apple updates.
    I did read the bootcamp manual afterwards, and saw that my IMac, being an earlier version, might not properly install bootcamp drivers for windows 7 64x, although we had successfully located and manually installed the drivers earlier when first installing windows 7 64x. Keep in mind, I'd had the os installed for several months without any video problems, and in fact, it worked like a dream in both os after the computer had a previous repair of the hard drive, sound card, and logic board.
    Anyway, to continue, after the video symptoms occurred on windows, I switched back over to mac to look for and install a video firmware download that I had located through these same forums. I had to change os because it was a dmg, so I did so. Now, I still had the snow leapard install disc in the computer, so that's the first thing I saw on the screen when booting into mac. I immediately started also seeing the pixels and some distortion, but it stopped briefly. I tried bringing up Firefox to get to the download, but the computer froze (showed the little round ball)and wouldn't respond further. I tried several reboots, and could usually at least get into snow leapard, but the computer froze each time.
    Finally, after several attempts, the computer won't boot into either os, and won't go into the install disc either. I'm completely at a loss, because I'm told this IS NOT a hardware issue, and the problem was resolved with simply resetting everything. The problem was NOT resolved with that reset, because I'm able to reproduce this issue consistently with multiple reboots, and have even recorded it with a camera I have. I'm at my wit's end, because I'm on a fixed income, and this costs me time and money I just don't have. It's caused me to get behind on one of my bills, because I have to have a computer, and further repairs, while covered under warranty, are going to cost me further money to get to and from the service center. Not to mention the fact that it's going to take another month for me to wait for my money to become available so that I can pay for the ride back and forth for the repair.
    Anyone, anyone at all, have any suggestions that may help? I have access to another computer, and can try using that computer to help me boot the other computer up, if I know how. Please, this is so frustrating to me, so I'm hoping someone can suggest something that may help.
    I know I mentioned in the post what type of video issues I'm experiencing, but I figured I'd reiterate to make it easy. The computer will display a distorted image on bootup, like a pixelated off-center image. You know, kinda like 2 punch cards held up to each other, with the same holes, but off center. You also get snow, when able to boot up, with the screen sometimes showing half the screen, flickering. Like the screen is broken, but it's not even scratched. And it's not all the time either, if it was, I would think maybe an internal screen was broken or cracked (I've worked tech support for devices with internal screens, so I understand you can have a perfectly good outer screen, but a cracked inner screen). Right now, on bootup, I get that punch card effect, then the screen goes blank. I should mention that sometimes the system will show that, but then boot into windows with no immediate distortion, but will show distortion in the mac side if I'm able to boot into snow leapard. Hope this information helps someone give me an answer that helps.

    To start with, my computer is the late 2008 model Imac, has 3g of memory …
    I'm assuming you mean the Early 2008 iMac since there is no "late 2008" one. AFAIK, it came with 2 GB of RAM standard & the common BTO option would have been 4 GB, so can we assume that you have installed an aftermarket memory module to get to 3 GB?
    I've already had it serviced, and was told that the issue was resolved, and was unrelated to hardware. Fifteen minutes after repair and setup, the exact same symptoms occur.
    What repair and setup? Is this something you did after getting the iMac back from service? If so, what exactly did you do?
    I had no initial problems with the install of either os (mac or windows), except to note that I couldn't install the apple software updates on the windows side.
    Do you mean the Windows drivers or something else? Did you follow the Bootcamp install procedure exactly when reinstalling Windows or not?
    I switched back over to mac to look for and install a video firmware download that I had located through these same forums.
    What video firmware download do you mean? AKAIK, there are none for early 2008 iMacs.
    No offense intended, but it is hard to understand exactly what you have done because while you mention much, you don't say a lot about the specifics for a lot of that. In general, it is best to concentrate on those things & keep the commentary to a minimum.

  • Video Issues in Adobe Presenter 9

    Video issues - I have inserted a 3 minute video in a Presenter 9  file and it plays fine when previewing but only 6 seconds when published. Plays 6 seconds and then buffers.  I have tried inserting  different formats and still get the same results.  Anyone else have this issue or ideas on how to resolve?

    Hi there,
    I got a solution from the Adobe Captivate technical team.
    As an attempt to resolve your issue
    Uncheck the option “Accelerate 3D graphics” under VM Settings by going to VM >> Settings >> Display>> 3D graphics
    Once done please try capturing and hopefully this must resolve your issue
    I did this and it worked, yeah. However, it is still incredibly frustrating using VMWare, when I am recording using Presenter it keeps freezing and I have to shut the entire system down. Guess I'll try the Partition!!!
    Thanks again

  • IMac G5 video issues.

    I have a iMac G5 20" 2.16 s/n W86494YZVUV that has a serious video issue. What appears to be a set of small lines appears on each side of each icon and the cursor.  Additionally, large random angular spikes appear all over making the display virtually unreadable. Is there an economic solution to this issue or is it a throwaway?

    Hello.
    Once my iMac G5 experienced this blue tint problem.
    The solution was to:
    Open System Preference > Display.
    Click on the highest resolution.
    Close Display pane.
    Close System Preference.
    Hope this helps.

    A misleading and malicious popup. Launch Safari with the Shift key held down; if that doesn't work, temporarily disconnect the computer from the Internet.

  • [Possible] Major Privacy Issue in Safari 5 - URL Autofill

    From what I read on the Apple site, the URL autofill compares what you type to your history. However even if you delete your history, the autofill still comes up with sites that you visited in the past. If I delete my history, where is this info coming from? Seems to me that this is a MAJOR security issue if you're not the only person using the computer.
    EDIT: Im seeing all sorts of random URLs popping up in the URL window when I type random letters. Is the URL bar also being used as a web search? (And if so, which search engine does it use for this?) I was under the impression it was only searching your history.
    At first I thought these random sites being suggested were sites I have visited in the past and forgotten about... in fact a lot of them seem like sites I would have visited.
    Its just so odd how random the results seem. Not just front pages come up, but pages a few levels deep on any given website. Strange thing this is to me.
    Message was edited by: Frozo

    I'm hoping someone will figure out a way to disable the URL history suggestions. It's totally annoying. I'm used to typing in the first few letters of a bookmarked web page to jump to it quickly. Now if I type some letters, I'm inundated with suggestions from keywords in my history, while the actual URL I'm trying to get to is buried beneath a list of other pages that have nothing to do with the page I'm trying to visit. Totally frustrating. Maybe it's good for some, but a way to turn it off is a must.

  • KT4VL video issue

    New motherboard/chip/memory/HDD in previous case with previous video card.  No other cards installed.
    I get to the WinXP setup screen fine, and choose to format the HDD in NTFS, but then the screen flashes and I get "synch out of range" on the monitor.  I tried XPhome as well as pro out of curiosity...I get the same "synch out of range" at various times.
    KT4VL
    Corsair 512MB PC400
    Athlon 2.1Ghz
    MSI-8855 GeForce2 ti-Pro (4x AGP)
    CD burner, CD reader and 80GB HDD installed
    PSU is 300 or 350 I believe
    no other cards or devices yet
    I made sure to keep all BIOS settings at safe/default levels while doing initial install.  Cannot get past the video issue, and I have never seen it before.  Any ideas?

    Sorry...its a Samsung 19" Synchmaster...about 6 months old.
    It was fine with the old system, as was the video card itself.  I carried them both over from my previous "guts"...an MSI KT2proRaid I think, with Athlon 800.
    Initial video signal is fine, and as far as I know it shouldn't switch from basic VGA to hi-resolution until it actually gets into XP.  It's nowehere CLOSE to that point when it is in the blue XP setup screens which makes it puzzling.
