WiFi does not use Killer network, and even though your device is connected through ethernet, it is still wireless. Might be that Killer NIC and your device (and its driver) cross over each other and cause random issues. Try standard Ethernet->Modem connection (straight 1m connection) and see if you get internet drops then too.

  • Killer e2200 Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.30) problem

    Hi everyone, i had this problem since november:i had a gaming pc(specifics below) with a Killer e2200 Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.30).The problem is that my pc disconnects every 30 min more or less,for a minute.I tried formatting my pc and installing windows 8.1 (before, i had win 7 home premium) but still nothing.I don't know where the problem could be, because other devices (smartphone,tablets adn also other pc) don't disconnect.
    If you could help me, i'll give you other informations as much as i can.
    Thanks
    i'm using a TP-LINK EXTENDER 300 Mbps which is connected with ethernet cable to my PC.It's an universal WI FI range extender.
    EDIT: I posted this topic into "other MSI product"

  • GT70 Killer e2200 gigabit ethernet controller (NDIS 6.30)

    Hey guys I'm having a big problem with my internet connection.
    Normally i have a downloadspeed of 100 Mb/s. It is so on my old laptop.
    On my new MSI GT70 it only gets to 6 Mb/s...
    I don't know why this is so, can it be cause of the killer e2200 driver?
    Pls help me i don't know how to solve this
    SPEEDTEST FROM OKLA

    Hi,
    try uninstalling Killer driver with suit. See if it solves the problem. If it does, then leave as it is, as Killer NIC is a bit terrible.
    If uninstalling didn't help, then look here:  https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=178063.msg1286312#msg1286312

  • Gaming 5 MB-Killer e2200 Gigabit Ethernet Controller(No 1000mbps option)

    Hi,
    I noticed that despite my ethernet cable plugged in is at 1gbps,however over at device manager,I do not have the option to select 1000mbps.
    I am using the driver only(without the killer software bundle),downloaded from this forum itself.Do I update my driver from this link?>

    that's suppose to be, 1Gbps can't be forced

  • Problem with killer E2200 gd65 gaming

    Hey iv'e recently discovered a weird issue with my killer e2200 and I can't figure out what's causing it.
    Tested old drivers and new ones but nothing works, also tested the pinned topic called "how to fix issues with killer LAN".
    so the issue is when I speedtest my connection my(with or without router) ping spikes for 20+ min from 4ms to 80ms and download halves (it's not only with speedtest but I've only managed to reproduce with it).
    so I did some troubleshooting and found nothing wrong so I ordered a network technician from my ISP he came and found nothing wrong with his laptop plugged in (ping fine and download didn't drop speed) and he noted that he saw the issue I had but he said it wasn't their end as his laptop was fine.
    Link that shows the issue
    Note that I don't actually show downloading here but it does go from around 1.7 MB/s to 800 KB/s while downloading a driver for example.

    So if anyone has the same issue i missed that there was a killer driver release on msi site for 1.1.42.1045 and these work fine.

  • Window 10 build 10041 does not work with Intel 82579V Gigabit Ethernet on ASUS motherboard

          
    I originally posted this question here:
    answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/insider_wintp-insider_update/window-10-build-10041-does-not-work-with-intel/6729892f-83aa-4822-b20a-ea84f4fd06c7
    and was asked to post it on this forum...
    I updated a computer I have which is a quad core i7 that I built and includes an ASUS motherboard with Intel 82579V Gigabit Ethernet built in. Windows 10 preview 9926 worked fine with this network adapter. Window 10 build 10041 does not, and I have tried
    it twice so far. I even went as far as buying a Thunderbolt-Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (Broadcom, sold by Apple)... and while it installed the driver automatically, it did not work either. Each time you try to view the properties of either of them, it locks
    up or give an error. In fact, doing much of anything with the Intel adapter icon assures you of not being able to do a clean reboot... have to kill power.  I have finally gone back the previous version 9926, which has its issues but no where near as bad
    as not having any network connectivity!  Does anyone have this issue and a workaround? 
    Note, there are two images on the windows 10 preview forum that I posted this question on. I could not post the full link as I was getting a message here that links and graphics are not allowed.

    Thanks Roger, I posted the following yesterday in the other thread (thinking it was this thread - confusing after they moved it here)... It may be that the new driver fixes the issue that 10041 has with it, but I have not tried that yet. If I do I will update
    this... Thanks!
    I have more information about this, which basically exonerates any issue with the Intel 82579V Gigabit Ethernet hardware or software. I have 3 computers with Windows 10 preview so I have multiple angles to see issues from. With this I have found a culprit
    (but I suspect not just the only culprit) in this above mentioned problem...
    10041 build combined with installing (or attempting to install) CISCO VPN Windows 7 64bit 5.0.07.0440-k9 client causes the issue mentioned above. I confirmed this on a completely different machine with a totally different Ethernet adapter. First machine
    is an ASUS motherboard in a tower system I built, with the Intel 82579V Gigabit Ethernet hardware built in. Second machine is a Gateway Laptop from 2008 which has a Marvell Yukon 88E8057 PCI-E Gigabit adapter built in. Build 10041 will work fine with my 2008
    laptop, including the MS VPN client (which I have tested). However, if you attempt to install or even uninstall the Cisco client you will have to do a recovery to a restore point (as I have done twice) in order to get your network working again. Installing
    or attempting to install (because it never even does install properly and times out), CISCO VPN client will render your entire network unusable. Going back to a restore point saved me and I am still running 10041 but I can't use CISCO VPN client any longer.
    I could with build 9926, including on all 3 machines. I now have 9926 on two machines and 10041 on only the 2008 laptop. 
    Hopefully this above information helps someone resolve the issue. I will also mention, even though my network is working on the 2008 laptop, I still can't go into the Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections and right mouse click on the Marvell
    Yukon 88E8057 PCI-E Gigabit adapter icon. I get an error when clicking on Properties menu popup : "An unexpected error has occurred". So something is still up with my network adapter driver or windows software, but it could be a side effect of all
    that has happened with the Cisco software install attempts under 10041.
    Another note: CISCO Anyconnect also has the issue.

  • KILLER E2200 Gigabit issue. Do i need to RMA?

    So i have just bought a new motherboard and processor (see specs below) and am getting a constant problem. These 2 items were brand new and my had no issue with my old motherboard.
    The issue:
    Unidentified Network - As you can see from the images, i am constantly getting no internet connectivity even thought the cable has been detected.
    The Facts:
    - I know its nothing to do with my local network as my laptop connect to the internet with no trouble.
    - I have tried both, the default drivers/software off the disk, and the latest drivers/software off the msi website. I have also tried the standalone drivers without the software that have been provided on this website.
    - I have tried to use the auto repair feature and that just re-enables the controller with no luck.
    - I have used the killer cleaner and that does nothing either. I'm just left restarting my PC over and over again through a painful install process.
    Now I'm left wondering if this is just a faulty motherboard or am i doing something wrong? PLEASE HELP! 
    Any information i thought you may need i have provided in images below. These are just to give you an idea of whats happening. If you need anything else please just ask 
    Computer Specifications:
    OS - Windows 8.1
    CPU - i5 4670k @ 4.3ghz
    Motherboard - Msi z87 G43 GAMING
    Memory - 10gb DDR3
    Graphics Card - Msi r9 280x

    I am faced with the exact same problem, my Killer e2200 chip has the latest driver from qualcomm.com (e2200 version 1.1.38.1281 x64 bit), running Windows 8.1 Pro x64 bit.
    I am uncertain whether this is normal since I can access internet but trough a connection set up by me.
    Probably because of this I do not benefit any killer e2200 features, for example my Killer Network Manager lacks the ''Killer Ethernet'' panel and resets settings I make to default after restart or shutdown.
    Here are the ''Networks'' side panel and the ''Killer Network Manager'' with all 4 panels, most of stuff posted by cookeymiceter is identical so will not upload rest of screens to save space:

  • Qualcomm atheros AR8161 pci gigabit ethernet controller

    HELP please! I have called and called and support is not helping.  I prefer to used my desktop wired to the internet.  But for some reason every so often I get the yellow triangle with the ! symbol.  Then I have to switch to wireless.  I have called a few times.  I even purchased the total care pack.  They had me uninstall the qualcomm atheros AR8161 pci gigabit ethernet controller in the device manager.  Then restart.  Then it works fine.  But all of a sudden it goes back to the !triangle and I lose wired connection.  It's not my router or modem.  My spouse has the exact same computer hooked up the same way and it never has happened to him.  Yet it in properties it says its working fine and I've checked for driver updates a zillion times.  Sometimes I can go a week with no problem.  Sometimes I have to uninstall/reinstall a few times in one day!  I am frustrated and the phone help is ridiculous.  Anyone have any ideas?  I would appreciate it.

  • "there is a problem with your apple tv ethernet networking" but I am connecting wirelessly

    So basically I can happily see all my movies etc on my TV via Apple TV but they appear to play but with no image. Sound is OK! Then the ATV decides something is wrong, reboots and says "there is a problem with your apple tv ethernet networking" but I am trying to connect over wifi.
    I have original ATV
    Thanks in advance
    Daniel

    You may have some software corruption or the unit may well be starting to fail.
    Hold menu and down arrow for 6 secs to reboot the unit to the diagnostics/service menu from where you can reinstall the original shipping software (some have had issues updating beyond version 1.0 if that's what's on it) but first I'd try to run the diagnostics utility though it often passes this even if there are issues.
    Always worth unpowering the AppleTV and letting it rest for a few minutes before restarting - this can sometimes reset thing that a powered reboot won't.

  • Great problems with K7N2G-ILSR onboard raid controller

    I have really great problems with my s-ata raid controller. First of all i had a 40GB HDD attached to IDE3. Worked really fine.
    Later on my system crashed and my raid controller seemed to be dead. (no "no array is defined" no "press crtl-f to enter setup,...).
    Then I attached a s-ata drive to the first s-ata interface. Suddenly the raid controller said: "no array is defined, press ctrl-f to enter setup". I entered setup an built an array an restarted my computer. Again: "No array is defined, press crtl-f to enter setup."
    Now my raid controller seems to be dead again cause it doesnt say a word again.
    Please help me if you can. (Besides i tried to solve the problem with updating my bios. I tried all versions from v1.0 to v1.3 but there was no result.)

    I have already tried two different types of Ram. 512 MB DDR 333 (I don't know the timing exactly but it's a CL2.5 Ram) and another one from a different manufacturer. Also DDR 333 CL 2.5. Then I combined both. But the raid controller didn't show any reaction and I can't imagine that the problem is the power supply because everything else works fine. Anyway... I will try to get a new K7NG2-ILSR on guarantee, sell my whole computer and buy the new K7N2-Delta because I have only problems with the K7N2G-ILSR.

  • Problem speeding up to gigabit ethernet

    Hello,
    Hopefully someone here will be kind enough to help me out with this one...
    Im trying to set up a gigabit ethernet network with my PowerBook G4 12" 1.5 GHz, a gigabit switch, and an iBook G4 1.2 GHz. The problem is that when I connect everything together I only get 100baseTX speeds max. On both the iBook and PB if I go into Network Preferences and configure ethernet speed Manually (Advanced) it only shows autoselect, 10baseT, and 100baseTX. No 1000base...
    I have tried multiple cat 5e and 6 cables, all known good.
    I have also tried the setup without the gigabit switch (ethernet cable between the two computers) and still get the same result.
    Oh and both systems are running 10.4.7
    Any help with this would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!
    PowerBook G4 1.5 GHz, a gigabit switch, iBook G4 1.2 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    No problemo. At least now you won't be tearing your hair out trying to figure out why you can't get the data moving any faster. Happy 4th.

  • H55M-E23 Problems with Onboard Realtek Gigabit NIC

    I just finished a new build HTPC using the H55M-E23 and I'm having problems with the onboard Realtek Gigabit LAN controller.
    System specs are:  OS is Windows 7 - 64 bit.  Intel i3-540 @ 3.0 GHz, 4GB RAM, 60GB SSD. NVIDIA GT 430 video card w/ 1MB RAM is only add in card. 300 Watt Power Supply.  NVIDIA card is the primary video card and is set up that way in BIOS.
    Everything installed fine and seems to work great, except that when I watch HD video, stored on a local NAS on my home network (all gigabit, including cables), about half the time, the Realtek controller will drop to about 10 MBPS, which causes the video to stutter and lockup.  The video normally streams across the network at about 23 MBPS max.  All other PC's on my network play these videos (home movies) no problem.  CPU utilization on the MSI board is only about 5% and the video card's GPU utilization maxes out at only about 65% when the videos are streaming properly.  Also, I can copy the video directly to the SSD on this HTPC and the video plays fine.  So I think the rest of the hardware on the HTPC is sufficient to do what I'm trying to do.  The truly annoying thing is that sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't work.
    All the latest drivers have been installed for the motherboard, video card, and Realtek NIC (trying both from MSI's website and Realtek's with the same result).  The Windows installation is very clean.  I've wiped the SSD twice and done a fresh Windows install and tried this immediately after the Windows install has competed and all drivers installed and again after Windows has completed all updates and I get the same result each time.  I've tried several "slow network connection" solutions from Google and none so far have worked.
    For anyone old like me, this acts like an IRQ conflict from back in the early days of Windows.  Of course Windows 7 doesn't let you mess with IRQ's anymore, at least that I can find.  BTW, Device Manager lists the IRQ for the Realtek NIC as "-2", which is very odd to me, but I'm no expert.  I'm at the point now of disabling the onboard Realtek LAN and buying a cheap NIC to see if that works, but wanted to try to see if MSI has any suggestions or should I RMA the board?  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ben

    Yeah, I agree that I'll need to upgrade the PSU anyway.  300W is marginal at best for this setup.  I would have probably been ok without the add in video card, but the GT 430 really makes a difference compared to the built-in graphics of the i3 and the card was so inexpensive that it was a no-brainer.  I may try to take out the GT 430 just to see if the Realtek NIC behaves better, but I think long term I'll just get a cheap PCI-e NIC and that should fix things.
    I would normally suspect the SSD as well, but I get the stuttering when I'm using the network streaming.  The videos play fine when running directly off of the SSD.  I know the SSD could still cause issues, but everything just seems to point to the Realtek chip.  Honestly, I really think it's a driver / setting issue and not a bad piece of hardware, although I could be wrong.
    If anyone has any other ideas, please keep 'em coming.  In the meantime, I'll try a new NIC, etc and let you know what I find.
    Thanks,
    Ben

  • Airport wifi problems with uverse and gigabit switch resolved

    I think there is a bug in airport firmware 7.6 with how spanning tree works in addition to problems with the Uverse router. Having an Airport with a uverse 2wire 3801 and gigabit switch will not work. Putting the extreme in NAT mode with DMZ plus behind the uverse resolved the problem.
    Network configuration:
    Uverse 2wire 3801 router
        3801 provides prioritization for upstream traffic so skype and VoIP work better when doing a lot of stuff on Internet
    Airport extreme firmware 7.6
    two airport express 802.11n hardwired to extreme. Set up in bridge mode. All access points have same SSID "create a network" to enable roaming. Ignore anything to do with extending a network.  firmware 7.6
    two gigabit switches
        Netgear GS608 - 8 port gigabit switch
        Trendnet TEG-S80g - 8 port gigabit switch
        100BT 5 port switch - did not figure into problem
    Three Uverse set top boxes wired on Ethernet. They have to be wire directly to the 2wire box to work correctly. See: http://forums.att.com/t5/Features-and-How-To/At-amp-t-U-Verse-modem-setup-Airpor t-Extreme/td-p/2300785
    However, you need to be careful to place your own PCs and other internet devices on the network created by your gear (airport extreme in your case), but keep AT&T's set top boxes for the IPTV services IN FRONT of your own router - so they remain on AT&T's provided network.
    So it would work like this ...
    Network 1: 2wire RG (4 lan ports) ->  Any Set tops, and to the WAN port on your AirportExtreme
    Network 2: Airport Extreme LAN ports -> to any computers or internet devices (but not AT&T set top boxes).
    The RG prioritizes the traffic for your Uverse Voice and your Uverse TV ahead of internet data traffic, as it rationalizes data heading out of your home.  If you place your own equipment in that equation (like putting AT&T set top boxes behind your Airport Extreme) the performance and function of your AT&T set top boxes could really flake out on you.
    Symptom:
        Everything would be working fine, then intermittently all my wifi access points would stop working. ~6,000 ms latency, dropped packets. Ethernet worked fine. Here is an example of my macbook pinging the extreme when associated with the extreme over wifi with a strong signal.
    ping: sendto: Host is down
    Request timeout for icmp_seq 23
    Request timeout for icmp_seq 24

    64 bytes from 192.168.1.64: icmp_seq=36 ttl=255 time=39.828 ms
    Root cause:
        It looks like the 2wire 2801 router has a problem with spanning tree when interoperating with gigabit switches and airports. There is interplay with the airport.
    I did not have this problem until the 7.6 airport firmware. I had been using the Netgear hub for about a year with the extreme in bridge mode. I added the Trendnet hub and upgraded airport firmware at the same time which made fault isolation difficult.
    Problem recreation:
    Set up airport expresses hard wired to extreme
    Connect gigabit switch anywhere to network
    Everything OK
    Dettach one computer from wifi then reattach, then all wifi stops working. It takes a few seconds for the problem to propagate.
    Ethernet still works fine
    Problem Resolution:
    Connect to 2wire with ethernet
    Set 2wire route to have subnet as 192.168.2.x
    Set extreme in NAT mode behind 2wire. It will complain about double NAT. Override the warning. Set the subnet to 192.168.1.x so you don't have to change any static IP addresses. Note that 2wire uses 192.168.1.254 as default route whereas airport uses 192.168.1.1.
    I set DHCP to start at .10 to leave the lower addresses for assigning static IP addresses to computers I want to expose outside the firewall.
    Go into firewall settings. Select airport extreme. Select the bottom setting which is "DMZ Plus". When you go into the airport extreme settings, you will now see that it has the uverse public IP address on its WAN port. NAT port mappings work fine on the extreme behind the 2wire router.

    Keeping this very short here is a summary of the actual problem and solution to allow your Apple Airport Extreme to run in Bridge mode on the same subnet as your uVerse settop boxes (if your Layer 2 switch is configurable). 
    Devices: Uverse, Cisco SG300, and Airport Extreme
    uVerse uses Multicast to broadcast video streams between the uVerse network to the settop box, and from settop box to settop box.
    X number of Multicast Groups are created based on X number of settop boxes you have.  You can see the multicast definitions by logging into the webinterface of the iNid. Each settop box is a member and can choose to display a broadcasted TV stream or not.
    Multicast membership is setup by the use of ICMP messages for IPv4 (MLD for IPv6).  Each of the settop boxes become members of each others multicast group by reporting up to the iNid (MultiCast Proxy).
    In an ideal world a layer 2 switch will track these memberships and only forward a broadcast packet to the ports on the switch to which the settop boxes are connected to.  The switch would do these via snooping on the ICMP packets.  Most switches by default do not do this by default and simply forward the broadcast packett out every one of it's switch ports.
    Here in lies the problem.  Problem is that the Apple AES doesn’t do ICMP snooping / filtering and floods the wireless network with these broadcast streams.
    In order to fix this you must turn on ICMP snooping and filtering on the switch (or buy a switch that does this).  I have a Cisco SG300 and list out the configuration below.
    Other notes:
    Ensure that all Media renderers (settop boxes) and servers are wired directly off the switch and not attached to any of the Airport Express ports.  This way no media transverses the Airport (only control point traffic goes through the WiFi - which is fine).  Obviously if the IGMP snooping switch sees any client requesting Multicast streaming traffic on the same port as the WAP, it will add that Multicast address to the forwarding table for that port, and then, yes it could get flooded.
    Remember, you need to allow some Multicast traffic through your WAP to allow UPnP discovery to work (assuming that you will be using Wireless control points.)
    Read the Multicast chapter in the SG 300 switch Admin Guide as it explains things very well.
    Setting up multicast on the SG300s using the WebUI:
    1. Multicast/Properties/
    Tick enable Bridge Multicast Filtering Status for VLAN 1, and
    set the Forwarding Method to IP Group Address for both IPv4 & IPv6.
    2. Multicast/ IGMP snooping/
    Tick enable IGMP snooping status then select and edit the entry and ensure that IGMP querier status is ticked.
    It's essential for IGMP snooping to work that there must be at least one active IGMP querier on the network - if more than one is enabled, they will carry out an "election" to decide which one should be active (normally the one with the lowest IP address.)
    3. Multicast Router Port
    Set whichever port that is connected to the uVerse iNid to Status which means that it the uVerse router connected to this port is the Multicast Router
    4. Multicast/ Unregistered Multicast
    set all ports to Filtering. (The default is Forwarding.)
    There are a lot of other variables within all the above - the defaults are OK, you should probably leave them alone!
    In the config file you would then expect to see the above appearing as something like this:
    ip igmp snooping
    ip igmp snooping vlan 1
    ip igmp snooping vlan 1 immediate-leave
    interface vlan 1
    bridge multicast mode ipv4-group
    bridge multicast ipv6 mode ip-group
    interface range gi1-10
    bridge multicast unregistered filtering
    ip igmp snooping vlan 1 querier
    ip igmp snooping vlan 1 querier address <IP-Addr>

  • Problems with Nforce4 install - audio/ethernet/raid

    Just installed my Neo4 Platinum Nforce4 with XP Home SP2. I have a problem with the drivers. I went to the Nvidia site and download both the Unified Drivers and the standalone Kit for XP.
    The unified driver set didn't seem to do anything at all, it seemed to quit half way through the install without giving me any finished message. A quick look in device manager and I saw about seven items with yellow warnings!
    I then tried the standalone kit which worked better, however after the install I am still left with 3 items in device manager that are giving me warnings. Multimedia Audio Controller, Ethernet Controll & Serial ATA RAID controller. I have no audio at all, I just the BIOS is all is OK, as it is for everything else. In the sound section of control panel there is no audio hardware available.
    Can anyone help please? I dunno what I could have done wrong. It's a fresh install.

    I have now done eveything you've said. I installed the Nforce drivers off the CD, and then installed Realtek, Ethernet & RAID via Live update. I also tried to do the NVMixer & Nvidia Audio install install. I installed  realtek from the add/remove software menu. I then went into add new hardware and did manual install, show all hardware, have disk. Then I browsed to the Nvidia Audio codec folder on my desktop that I download. I was given an option of two drivers "nvmcp" & "nvmpu". I picked the first and ended up choosed "Nvidia audio codec interface" which then installed. It then appeared in device manager. However, when I clicked the audio panel in control panel I still get no audio device installed? I then tried to install NVMixer and when I try to run the application I get this message:
    "the application cannot start because it could not detect any NVIDIA Nforce hardware on your system...."
    What am I doing wrong? When I did the driver install there were two things listed in each driver "nvidia audio codec interface" and also "nvidia audio processing unit", which should I be choosing? Even if I try and installed the "MVP audio processing unit" I'll get a code(10) device cannot start in device manager. This is kinda confusing.
    I also wondered about the RAID controller software. The silicon image drivers that came on the MSI seem horrible, they installed Java too. Is there any way to disable this controller? In the BIOS I can only see one option to enable RAID and when this is enabled device mananger will show an error on an "unknown device". I assume this is the NVRaid? and speaking of NVraid which is mentioned in big fat type on the back of the MSI box, so far I've seen or heard none of it during this installtion?

  • Start up problems with a G4 Gigabit model.

    Hi Guys,
    I could really use some help here. I just recently traded a friend for a dual 500mhz processor that he took of from a G4 Gigabit Ethernet model. It appears that the particular GE had issues with it's logic board and my friend decided to part it up. I swapped out my old 400MHZ single core cpu & installed the Dual 500MHZ. Before I performed the upgrade, I took out the memory and video card so that I could have better room to work with. Once I put everything back, I started up the Mac and got the bong and I could hear the fan working but, the screen was blank. The message on the monitor read, "no signal from computer". I shut down the Mac and uninstalled and reinstalled the video card and still got the same problem. I pressed the cuda button and finally got the system to start up but now every time I shut the Mac down, I keep getting the same problem. When I try to start her up, it takes a long time for Mac OSX to load and some times it times out. The only way that I can get her to start correctly is by shutting her down, waiting 10 seconds, starting her back up & then press the reset button but, I'm afraid that I'm doing damage to her.
    Does anyone know what's going on with her? My gut feeling is that it might be the pram battery but I'm not too sure. Any help would be appreciated.

    PRAM battery. I would check it first. When mine went, I had no response from my Mac at all; just a light on my power button; absolutely no boot at all.
    Check out things in Texas Mac Man's Battery, PRAM, PMU tutorial on the subject. His tutorial is a little dated (don't believe it even mentions G5's) but the info in it, except SMU not being included, still applies. The SMU link is for a late G5 Tower. Early G5's use PMU rest, as shown in the tutorial. The battery for late G5 + G5 iMacs and earlier iMacs, Mac Minis and Intel Tower Macs is this one.
    Course, the CPU you traded for could be bad also. Maybe it wasn't the logic board after all. Try things in the faq first.
