Mega problems with new Mega 180 - Help, please!

Hello everyone. I recently built a MEGA 180 system for a customer of mine, and have been having NOTHING but problems with it. First off, during the Windows XP PRo install, I'll often receive errors stating that certain files cant be copied, and I'll have to hit enter several times before the file will copy. I've replaced the CD-ROM with an MSI model, and used a different XP CD, and still receive these errors during install pretty often. Secondly, once I get everything installed, I'll get numerous program errors in XP (usually explorer.exe and iexplore.exe, but pretty much every program crashes sometimes). I've used a different HD, different RAM, and I've formatted the HD and reinstalled XP at least 6 times, and am STILL having problems. Im a computer tech, and fairly proficient at building PCs, though this is my first SFF pc I've built. Im really at my wits end here, and am not sure where else to go for ideas on what this can be. I've submitted an online help ticket with MSI, but I wanted to see if you guys had any ideas in the meantime. System specs are as follows:
MSI Mega 180
AMD XP 2800+ CPU (I used artic silver, btw)
512MB Corsair XMS PC3200 RAM (I also used 512MB GEIL PC3200 Golden Dragon)
80GB Western Digital HD
MSI CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo drive
average temp under load: 50c
average temp idle: 36c
Thanks in advance guys!

Well, hrmm... :noidea:I know when I built my Mega180 I didn't have those problems at least, so it's hard to pinpoint. My bets are toward the memory (although you did swap it out, so that's what bugs me with my thought on that). My next guess would be the MoBo itself (which would be an MSI replace basically as there isn't much leeway for a different board for that case (or getting it out ). I am shocked, however, that you have your sys temps so low. I have an Athlon XP 2700+ (333 FSB, Thunderbird) and my temps go around 60C with the case open and a small room fan blowing through the case...for now). Do you mind telling me how you got your system so cool? I've been considering the Koolance Exos watercooling just to bring this system to stable, lower temps [but I've never dealt with watercooling yet ) Of course, sys temps have always been by biggest problem.
Sorry if this wasn't a big help, but the randomness of the errors seems to lean towards the memory/mobo...possibly the HDD I suppose. Does it still receive errors when not dealing with an optical disc (CD or DVD)? If so, that definitely rules out the optical as the only problem (it may still be a problem, but it wouldn't be the only one at least).

Problem with read() mehtod!Help please...

Hi guys..please help me with this simple stuff...these small program will display the the character count in a word...example: a=4,b=6.....here's my code...
mport java.io.*;
public class BufferedReaderTest {
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
char[] capital = { 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F', 'G', 'H', 'I', 'J','K', 'L', 'M', 'N',
'O', 'P', 'Q', 'R', 'S', 'T', 'U', 'V', 'W', 'X', 'Y', 'Z'};
FileReader fr = new FileReader("watu.txt");
BufferedReader buffer = new BufferedReader(fr);
String inString;
while ((inString = buffer.readLine()) !=null) {
String upperCase = inString.toUpperCase();
System.out.println(upperCase);
int nextChar;
char ch;
int count=0;
for (int i = 0; i < 26; i++)
while ( (nextChar = inString.read() ) != -1 ) ***problem with this line**
ch = (char) nextChar;
if( ch== capital)
count++;
System.out.print(" " + capital[i]);
System.out.println(" " + count);
fr.close();

For future postings please:
- use code tags (see: http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting)
- always provide the compiler (and/or runtime) errors.
Your problem is this:inString.read(). String has no method called read().
To loop through a String and check it's contents line by line you could use a for-statement and String's charAt(int) method.
Here's how to use the for-statement:

Serious Problem with New Mac Pro! Please help!!

Ok, long story short.
My Mac pro keeps crashing after I installed the latest 05-2007 security update. It seems to crash everytime I come back to the computer after the screensaver has been on for a while (its not the screensaver though) I reinstalled the newer v1.1 version of the update and I thought the problem had gone, but it hasnt as the computer just crashed again.
I cannot see any correlation to any other programs, and im 99% sure its not a hardware issue. It does not seem to relate to parallels, or the screensaver, or itunes, or anything!
And there is another crazy thing, when the computer restarts, it says that it recovered from a serious error and asks you to sumit a report, so i click the send report button and do you see a normal report window with all the code ? NO!!! Press report and the initial window just DISAPPEARS, nothing else happens!!! i.e it wont send the but to apple!! no wonder they haven't fixed it!!!

Problems with NEW MEGA 651 PC

Put the MEGA 651 together today. The heat sink /cooler was a pain in the butt to get installed but finally got it. Also purchased the MSI DVD/CDRW Drive since a disclaimer on the box said other brands may not work... ok.
Installed it all and guess what. Yep the MSI CD unit doesnt open the door cause it hits the case! Not only that but the MSI CD Eject button in behind and below the cutout making it almost impossible to even attempt to get the cd tray to eject! Then the damn thing bounces off my finger pushing the eject button and goes back in. If I push the button with a pencil the tray comes out 3/8" and hits the side of the case cause the cutout doesnt line up.... Now thats planning! Not to mention I wonder what happens when it finally comes out and you put a cd in it. It goes back in does it SNAG the spring loaded door and jam or does it scratch the cd in the drive?
It seems to me I need to remove the door and drill a 1/4" hole in the case so I can put something in there to press the eject button.
Also the green light on the card reader and the clock stays displayed after I turn the PC off. Also there is still power to the NUMLOCK light on the keyboard so I ASSUME it is NOT TURNING ALL THE WAY OFF.
I haven't got a chance to install an OS yet since I have to resolve the CD issue before I can even get a CD in the thing.
On a positive not I like the radio at least it works!
Im soooo confused....
:-?

That's strange that it hits the case. I bet you have it mounted wrong. Try moving it forwards/backwards in the case until it ejects correctly. I had mine too close to the door and it wouldn't open... moving it back solved the problem.
Now, I don't own a 651, but if it's like the 865, then you don't push the button that's located on the CD Player, instead you push the eject button on the computer case itself.

I think I have a problem with Mavericks: can anyone help,please?

A couple of days ago I installed Mavericks on top of my existing Mountain Lion OS. Not before I backed up the ML version with Time Machine, though.... :-)
Initially I thought everthing was fine, but then started to notice a few things that bothered me, which have not gone away. In fact, I think this install is now a potential problem. Unlike many other people, elsewhere on this forum, I have not noticed the calamitous slowing down and general unusability of Mavericks. I'm using a prety new i7 iMac ( the new flat one) with 32 GB of RAM.Everytihng worked great with Mountain Lion. However, The following anomalies have cropped up: Mail is taking over 30" to send a simple email. In ML it was almost instantaneous. I feel that Mail is not performing as it did in ML, and the same goes for Safari. It "feels" odd and slow and can take an age to load up pages. In fact one particular page would not load properly at all, but worked fine in Firefox. In the end got it to work in Sfari, but ithis type of behaviour doesn't instill confidence. Things got wierder...
An update to iMovie got " stuck" in the dowload process,and was perpetually downloading in Launchpad. It kept oscillating from approx 61 MB to aprrox 84 MB of a 1.94 GB file. Then I did a disk utiltiy test of my system drive and it suddenly stated that the drive need repairing. I booted up in Recovery Mode and tested the drive, which came back all clear! I booted up normally again and now the disk utility won't even complete a full diagnosis of the drive!It will diagnos all my other drives fine though.... :-s It keeps getting stuck on: Checking Volume Bitmap, and won't go any further. So, I did what some other person did on another thread, which seemed to clear up his problems; namely: simply reinstalled Mavericks from Recovery mode. This did not improve anything for me. The same issues remain. In fact as I type this, I notice that I'm using nearly 23 GB of my 32 GB of RAM, and all I have open is Safari, Disk Utility and Mail ! To quote Hans Solo: " I've got a b-a-a-a-d feeling about this..."
So, this is my long-winded way of asking: what shall I do? I would like to boot in Recovery Mode and reinstall my back up from an external drive. Does anyone have any advice about this,please? If I restore from my backup, will I actually get the ML OS back on the computer, or will I be stuck with Mavericks trying to impose itself ,as some people reported? I do want to use Mavericks, but not in the condition it's in right now. Also, really don't want to perfom a clean install and migrate everything over from the Time Machine back up....
Thanks for any advice.

I don't think that a software update from Apple will solve the issues that you are having. You have a rogue installation. After you posted I have just done the following:
Disk Utility can verify my partitioned Volume (including my boot disk) AND REPAIR the non-boot disks on the same Volume without a glitch. It repairs the non-boot disks containing data smoothly.
I have used Mail to send some mails from some Yahoo and Hotmail accounts to my Thunderbird client containing GMail accounts - absolutely normal.
I have iLife '09 but my iMovie '09 and iPhoto '09 open in a jiffy and I see no issues here. I have 6GB RAM (Maximum) on an early 2008 Macbook Pro with a 750GB hard drive partitioned with 120GB reserved for the Boot Drive.
I am sorry that I cannot help further but I am sure there must be a way to reinstall the software without having to revert to restoring your ML backup. I have two clones and if you have such I would attempt to do that through that rather than through Time Machine - that is of course if you have a cloned drive.
Good luck!

Problems with the time setting. help please

i have the time set on my ipod touch by the city i live. the time will be right for a couple days, but then it becomes an hour behind. how does that happen or how can i make that not happen?
can anyone please help me?

I'm having same problem too. Has happened 3-4 times now. Can't figure out what causes the time to change to random time. At one point I thought it was caused by my leaving my calendar at a previous date or appointment, but really don't think so. I have a Verizon - iphone 5. I would think that the time would come from Verizon. Not Apple. But no one else is talking about it. Anyway, you're not alone )c: Turning it off and then back on is fine HOWEVER, last night it changed time to 2 or 3 hours EARLIER so my alarms were screwed up! I asked Siri "what time is it" and she must get her information from the iphone settings. So... she gave me the WRONG time also. Sad. 1st time it happened, it was actually Sunday 8:03 AM PST and iphone showed 11:38PM. This morning, not only was the time wrong, the date was last Tuesday, 9/26/12! Not funny when we all depend on our calendars and appointments that are set on each day. Other times, I just reset it and will wait for someone to fix the problem. I love the iphone 5 though! Nice and light (I'm a runner). It replaced a 4. Loved that one too, but new iOS6 is WAY FASTER! Love it to pieces!

Hi a,
Have you checked the settings in System Preferences > Sound?
There is a switch inside the audio jack that may be stuck. Try gently inserting an audio plug, gently wiggling it, and then removing the audio plug.

So i have a:
Pavilion DV5-1115
AMD Turion X2 Processor (yuck)
ATI Radeon Graphics Card
Windows 7 (w00t)
So I have a program that tells me the tempature of my computer, as I'm writing this my computer is 130F, if i play any games it's 150-170 EASY. I play fifteen minutes of a game on lowest graphics (simular to Dota) (no battery as well) and my comp hits right at 200 and shutsdown... Anyone have any idea how to make my computer cooler?
EDITED: I do want to mention that I did send it in once for the same problem, sending it in again for the same problem, I am an IT student and use it atleast ten hours a day. So until I have to send it away I need to atleast have a temporary fix.
P.S. I have it on a table with fans blowing under it. (so really this is ridiculous)
P.P.S. Hp makes me sad atm.
