Mega 180 reboot and freezing...PSU failure??

I was browsing the internet,when my screen went black and the onboard speeker started beeping.
I couldn't restart the system without a BIOS reset.All my temps are normal.
After 5 minutes the screen went black again,but no beeping this time.
BIOS reset again,and then I've checked my voltages.By the BIOS my 3.3v is only 3.23v.
Under Windows the system monitor shows only 3.15-3.18 v.
When I turn on or turn off the computer theres is a ticking sound from the PSU(from the bottom of it),which wasn't there before.
If I start a game,the system just freezes.
Is my PSU gone???
ps:I'm using the onboard graphics and sound etc.

to determine if the PSU is at fault, you can connect up a regular desktop ATX PSU. make sure the specs are the same or better.
disconnect all the power connectors from the Mega PSU, then connect the ATX PSU while it is still outside the case. note that while testing with another PSU that the LCD display won't work and you won't get any sound either.
you can run some tests for a while; if you don't get any freezing or restarts, then you know the PSU is at fault
HOWEVER, the mostly likely cause of problems in all the Megas is OVERHEATING. when PSUs get too hot, their power output can drop, causing instabilities. use a program such as Speedfan to monitor your CPU and system temps

Lumia 620 Rebooting and Freezing

My family have 4 Lumia 620's between us and all of them have been having problems with random reboots and screen freezes since the Lumia Black update. I have tried resetting them and have verified that all the apps were updated (In all 4 cases "access point" required updating as it never automatically showed an update was needed) but this has not resolved the problem.
The reboots sometimes happen when using the phone, for example in IE, and sometimes just when the phone is sitting, not being used. Freezes usually happen on the lock screen, requiring the phone to be rebooted by holding down volume and power.
On a few occassions, the phones have reset their date and time after a reboot and eventually correct it automatically.
On a couple of occassions, a reboot sometime during the night has reset the alarms causing them to be missed.
It seems to only be the Lumiz 620's that have this problem as I have a Lumia 820 and 520 which are not showing the same problem in-spite of being upgraded to Lumia Black.
My family are very frustrated with these reboots and freezes and are now considering moving to another platform. Please help as I would like them all to stick with Windows Phone for when 8.1 is released.

hi mate, sorry to hear of the problems you have been experiencing. in this case, the only option you have left is to perform a hard reset, and failing that, a visit to your nearest Nokia Care location for inspection of your handsets is mandated.

Computer Reboots and Freezes Upon iPod Connection

On a fairly frequent occasion, my computer will reboot and then the mouse will freeze up when I connect my iPod. I am running XP and connect through a USB port on the computer. The frustrating thing about this is that it doesn't occurr all the time. Somtimes everything works fine. When the computer does freeze, I have to shut it down, disconnect the USB from the iPod and try again. Usually it take a couple of trys to get things to work. Anyone have this problem and if so do you know of a fix. I am using the latest Nano software updates.
Velocity Micro Windows XP

It only happens when I connect the iPod to the USB port, but not everytime. Sometimes it works fine. Is there a difference between the order of connection. Should I first connect the iPod to the cable and then the cable to the USB port on the computer, or connect the USB end to the computer first and then iPod to the other end.

I've performed the same problem.... and i'm trying to solve it definitively.
The TV out sometime gives color and sometime not.
I've checked the bios setting. I'll try now with "wrong" setting.
As i'll find a solution i'll post it.

Mega 180 - WLAN and modem drivers

Hi all.
I have a corrupt cd for my Mega 180 and I'm desperately in need of the drivers for WLAN mini pci-card and modem. I've dl'ed drivers and software from MSI-site but XP Pro won't recognize these two...

Found the solution in another thread...

Mega 180 AGP and dead...

Hi all,
just checking to see if someone has any clues what's up with my machine. I bought an ATI x800 PRO last night, and put it in my Mega 180. All of last night I was playing far cry just fine with "high" settings. The temperature went up to around 75, but seemed to be ok, no problems. I went happily to bed.
This afternoon I decided to play at "very high" settings. After a while I got system message saying that the CPU was too hot and the machine was going to shut down. Getting this message stopped far cry and moved me back to the desktop. I saw that the temperature was already falling, so I didn't bother shutting down, just let it cool off for a while. I then tried running far cry on high settings - like I did the night before - and again I got the heat warning. I searched the web for reasons, somewhere someone suggested updating the bios. I did using live update, no difference.
So now I went to the BIOS and checked if I could somehow set the fan to always be on max, if nothing else this should make the system heat up slower. Didn't find anything like it. I found a setting for USB-keyboard though, activated this.
At this point I realized I wouldn't be able to use my Mega180 with the card, so I took it out.
From then on I have been unable to get even to POST. When I turn the machine on the fans start going, the harddrive and cd-rom makes some spin-up noises but nothing happens on the screen. The screen doesn't even realize that it's on.
I have tried removing everything except the processor. I have tried reinserting the AGP card. I have tried with and without memory, harddrive, cdrom ... all with the same result, that is, nothing happens.
Tried resetting the CMOS both through the JBAT1 jumper and removing the battery.
Any ideas? I suspect something got messed up with the BIOS when I changed it, but if so, shouldn't resetting the CMOS fix it?
Most of all, does anyone have any ideas for more things I could try? Has anyone else seen anything like this? Could it have anything to do with the "hot" warnings? (Although I would guess not, those message should show up a while before it gets too hot... )
Thanks,
Mattis

do you get display with the agp card in?
when you removed the agp card, did you unplug the power cord?
i don't know how much of this is true, but this is from a supposed PC technician. when the power cord is connected, standby power is going through the motherboard (true). apparently if you remove an agp card while standby power is present, it sort of screws up the agp port (including onboard, as it is shared).
if you leave the pc unpowered (remove power lead) for about 12 hours, it should work again.
please let me know if this works or not, so I can tell my pc technician buddy he is full of (or not, as the case may be)

Mega 180 CPU and memory

Hi,
I am just beginning to assemble a MEGA 180, and I'd need some help regarding the components.
1) I will NOT use on-board video, so using 400 MHz RAM modules will be fine. Am I right? Do I have to change any jumper settings or the default BIOS settings because of that?
2) Can I use a 3200+ CPU with 333 MHz without any problems? The official MSI info is that 3000+ is the maximum, but there were some references that 3200+ also can be used, if it is the 333 MHz version. Is it right? Did MSI "officially" admit this?
3) Unfortunately, 333 MHz version of 3200+ is very difficult to find, most retailers have only the 400 MHz version. What should I do to make my system work with this CPU? Need some jumper setting change, and some BISO mods? What to do exactly? I'm not an experienced modder by far, so a detailed guide would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Coix

as far as i'm aware, the nforce2 chipset used in the mega 180 mobo only supports up to 333mhz FSB
yes, an XP3200+ would work but only if it was the FSB333 version, if you can't get hold of one then an XP3000+ would be just as good, there's only a couple of hundred mhz difference in speed anyway, which you wouldn't notice
and i would suggest sticking with DDR333 (PC2700) memory too, there's no point having faster memory if it unstables things, again the speed difference isn't visibly noticeable, make sure you buy two sticks of the same type and brand and run as dual channel for best performance - i recommend crucial, samsung or kingston, all have worked fine in msi boards i have used before

Mega 180, meedio and MCE compliant remote

Hi Everyone,
I'm new to this forum.
I own a Mega 180, Windows XP Pro, Home Theater III installed. I'd like to use Meedio as a front end instead of Home Threater III. I also own a MCE RC6 remote.
The problem is that none of the remotes (MSI remote and MCE remote) cannot be used with the Meedio front end, simply do not work. Is there any way to put it all together to work? I've tried WinLirc with the Mega 180 configuration profile - no success, neither with the MSI remote not MCE remote. The goal is to use MCE remote only with Meedio front end on Mega 180. What software should I use and how to configure it? Any ideas?
Kiero

OK, I got my Mega 180 remote working with Girder. Now, how to make it work with Meedio? There is a Meedio program definition "Meedio Essentials.xml" file. I load it into Girder, but nothing happens. The Meedio plugin is not loaded into Girder memory in the settings tab (it is not present). Meedio Essentials.xml is only a configuration file, not a plugin... Any help?

Rebooting and Freezing Keyboard

I have a Droid 2. This is the second or third phone that I have received since signing my contract. Sadly, I'm locked in my contract until July. Since the upgrade of software I have had a warranty replacement and a VZW replacement each has had the same problem. While typing on facebook or typing text messages, I am able to type about 10 characters and the cursor disappears and
I am not able to type anymore. Also, the screen will freeze and until I lock and unlock the phone am I able to continue what I was doing. However, that whatever doesn't include typing on my message. Often I have to start a message two or three times to get it correct. I have even had to use the voice recognition feature to get an accurate message. Here are the things I have done to try helping the situation:
1. Hard Reset and the problem went away and came back shortly after downloading my apps
2. Soft reset, did nothing
3. I uninstalled all of my downloaded applications and started my phone in safe mode and still received the problem.
I'm so frustrated I can't see straight. I'm ready to throw this phone into the Mississippi River.
Has anyone experienced anything like this? Did you manage to fix it or get it fixed???

30 GB 5th generation. I down loaded the latest two Powerline radio program podcasts. I was previously able to play them without a hitch. When I start the podcasts, they appear to want to play but then the iPod shuts down and reboots. Seems to sound like problems experienced by similar posts. I am still able to play other podcasts and music (both ripped from CDs and purchased on iTunes). I will reset the iPod and see if that works. I will report back.
Note: The Powerline podcast is a conservative podcast of current polictal events. You can download the podcast at the Powerline website or through iTunes. I obtained this podcast through iTunes. I have seen where both conservative and liberal websites have been hacked by the more unscrupulous of the opposition. With the election season heating up, and both camps in fever pitch, I wonder if it is possible that the podcast has been tampered with to produce this result. Just curious.

Getting sick of reboots and freezes ...

hi folks, OK let me go directly to the problems I am facing. I bought a BB curve 8900 recently. I used it for couple of hours and then started to have the problem of auto rebooting of device while doing anything!. Then I took the phone to a repair shop who wiped out everything everything from the phone, basically doing a system restore of the phone but that did not help. It kept on rebooting at its will. After that I took it again to the tech support and this time he downgraded the OS from v5.0 to v4.6.1.133 (Platform 4.2.0.85). Things were going on smoothly with no reboots until after 24 hours the phone started to freeze at its will. Even if the LED was on it would freeze and the LED would still remain on!. And then after this it rebooted again. I am in a real dilemma. I really can't figure out how to fix this. I would really appreciate if someone could get my problem fixed!

Go look at the pictures in the posted link. If you have them they will be replaced automatically. If you don't have ones like those pictured you don't need them replaced. The ones that do need replaced would only pose a threat if you unplugged them and the power switch was still on the casing came off and you happened to touch a live wire. So let's not overreact? Doesn't sound like you suffered any mistreatment at all. Only the English language has been mistreated!!!!

Droid bionic random/constant rebooting and freezing.

Hello all,
I've had the Bionic since it came out and never really had a problem with it (other than the 3G dropping). Never rooted it or installed any untrustworthy apps, so this isn't a user problem as far as I can tell.
This is what's happening:
Two days ago while I was driving to class, I noticed a noise. Looked down and my Bionic was restarting itself. I figured it could have been some updates or something so I didn't think much of it. Then it happened again about 20 minutes later. After that, it didn't happen again all day. So I wake up the next morning for class and look at my phone (alarm going off) as I'm about to shut the alarm off, the screen goes black and pops up with the dual core screen. Drive to school again and it restarts 3 times while driving this time. One hour class it restarts 5 times. Go to work and it probably restarts 20 times in an 8 hour period. I get home, and by then it's constant restarts. Phone might be on for 5 minutes then it will restart. So I do a factory reset on the phone and it does nothing. It actually seems like the restarts have increased in frequency. It restarted 5 times while I was typing this paragraph. Also sometimes it'll just freeze like this morning it was on the dock and stuck at 5:10am, when it was 10 am. Or it will freeze on the Dual-Core screen when rebooting.
So what exactly can I do? I installed logcat somehow but the logs don't really seem to tell me anything. I insalled OSmonitor and watched the logs and it kept saying CPU1 Shutting down, booting secondary CPU over and over and over, so I think some hardware is screwed up here.
1. Should I call or go to the store? I'm not really sure what the return policy is. I'd like to get a replacement right away and not have to drop money on stupid shipping costs.
2. Is it possible to get a different model phone? I've heard too many problems with the Bionic to make me want to get another one. I'd love to get the Nexus without dropping $700.
3. Is there any possible fix i'm overlooking here? A factory reset was the last ditch effort as far as I can tell.
Thanks in advance.

Why is my iphone 5 rebooting and freezing under iOS 7?

My iPhone 5 worked perfectly every day for a year. Now that I've upgraded to iOS 7 it freezes frequently and reboots itself every few hours. What is wrong and how can I fix it?

I take it you've got the original iPhone 5?
If so, I highly recommend that you switch these off in Settings:
1) WiFi
2) Bluetooth
3) Mobile Data (internet usage via 3G etc)
Don't leave them running for long periods, they'll drain your battery at an alarming rate, even with Mobile Data turned on, your battery won't last for more than 3 days!!
Mobile Data is found in 'Mobile' in settings.
Also, some Settings that will cause a fairly gradual drain are:
1) Privacy>Location services>System Services - Turn off: Location based iAds, and Location Services (uses GPS)
2) GPS - Turn off
3) Change your Brightness to the second "s" in brightness
4) iTunes and Appstore settings - turn off automatic download updates if your really desperate
5) General>background App Refresh - Turn off
Note that some apps make extensive use of internet, eg. Facebook and Twitter and such, you'll have to manage these much tighter than normal. As in, don't leave them running in the background, quit those apps, as they'll keeping using the internet (checking for updates) when not in use by the user.
After you've done these, make a note of the percentage battery at the time, and leave it in sleep mode for an hour. If it's used about 1% or none, then you're back to normal battery usage, and it's fixed it.
Let us know what happens.

Mega 180 Wireless And Xp Sp2!!! Help!!

Whenever I INSTALL a clean install of xp with SP2 integrated. Wireless drivers wont work. Not even when I try to add them manually!!
Please HELP!
[email protected]

I'm having the same problem with newly installed Mega and internal wireless. Wireless USB adapter works fine... Although I found using USB devices raises the temp. about 3-4 degrees. So I really want the internal one to work.
The problem I get is it cannot find my access point. I am using a netgear WGT624 set in 11b mode. Besides this computer I connect to this access point with a linksys pcmcia card and a lucent pcmcia card. Plus of course the Netgear wireless USB.
The driver I am using is dated M2400.sys dated 12/05/03 although the date that shows up under xp driver props is version 1.12 dated 10/8/03. I can't find a newer driver. The download page for the Mega180 has an older dated version although the contents are the same. I've installed and removed the driver several times. I've tried with and without MS wireless service running. Nothing changes. When I scan for access points it finds an extremely weak unshielded linksys that must be coming from a neighbor. But it is too weak (also varies in and out) to maintain a signal. So I believe the antenna is working...
I suspect some imcompatibilty between the mini PCI wireless and my router.
Any ideas ?

Choppy Video on MEGA 180

Hi all,
I'm suffering from choppy video playback on my MEGA 180. By choopy I mean every ten seconds or so it will freeze up for a split second, the audio stays in sync, but you can slightly tell that the video stops, or skips.
This happens when watching .avi, DivX or even commercial DVD's. It also happens on my screen saver.
Since I was using the onboard video I thought I'd try using a video card but the same thing.
What I can't figure out is what the onboard video and a seperate video card have in common, since it's happening to both.
My onboard video has the latest drivers, and the PC as a whole is up to date.
Any suggestions are greatly needed.
Thanks.

can you give more information on the hardware you have installed in your Mega 180?
and can you give more background information; ie how long have you had this system, has it ever worked correctly, did the problem start after you installed any particular software, etc etc...

MSI Mega 180 problems

Hello all, i'm quite stuck on something and need some help.
I have recently purchased an MSI Mega 180 deluxe and installed an pioneer a07 dvd writer in there, for some reason it won't let me burn cd's in audio cd format from wav files, which i need for my music studio.
Also i constructed an external case to put an internet pioneer a03 dvd writer and did the same process and believe it or not i was able to burn a audio cd, so not sure what the problem is, could the msi mega 180 dislike my newer model of pioneer, or is the pioneer on it's way out, which i find strange as it's newer and quite new.
I use nero to burn most of my cd's or dvd's which had no problem with when the dvd writer was on another desktop, it seems to get up to 26% and just freezes there, which the buffer level not moving at all.
Hope someone can help, thanks

Sounds like all of your drivers are not up to date....
Here's what M$ has to say about it (shamelessly copied and pasted from another different website/board post).
Stop 0x000000D1 or DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
The Stop 0xD1 message indicates that the system attempted to access pageable memory using a kernel process IRQL that was too high. Drivers that have used improper addresses typically cause this error.
Interpreting the Message
This Stop message has four parameters:
Memory referenced.
IRQL at time of reference.
Type of access (0x00000000 = read operation, 0x00000001 = write operation).
Address that referenced memory.
Resolving the Problem
For additional troubleshooting suggestions that apply to all Stop errors, see "Stop Message Checklist" later in this appendix.
Stop 0xD1 messages can occur after installing faulty drivers or system services. If a driver is listed by name, disable, remove, or roll back that driver to confirm that this resolves the error. If so, contact the manufacturer about a possible update. Using updated software is especially important for backup programs, multimedia applications, antivirus scanners, DVD playback, and CD mastering tools.
For more information about Stop 0xD1 messages, see the Microsoft Knowledge Base link on the Web Resources page at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/reskits/webresources. Search using keywords winnt, 0x000000D1, and 0xD1.
Update Drivers
Updated and comaptiable drivers are very important when running XP. Check your hardware with the HCL http://www.microsoft.com/hcl If you hardware is not on the list it does not mean it won't work it just means it hasn't been tested by Microsoft and they won't Guarantee it to be compatible. If it not on the list check the manufacturer's website fo an up to date XP driver, if they don't have one you may be out of luck. This goes for motherboards and the bios too.
