MSI 970A-G46 | Needs to be Exchanged for a new one |

Yup, some stuff happened to it and now I need to exchange it for a new one.
Can someone please show me where I can do that? Thanks

I just had it looked at by an IT professional, he said that it's the motherboard, so it's not an easy fix.
Anyways, here is my whole computer >>> http://pcpartpicker.com/p/J3YPf7
Definition of "IT professional" varies widely and could mean almost anything... He may be right; he may be wrong. You're a bit elusive on the "stuff happened to it" topic so I'm thinking he may well be right in this case... Nichrome has the correct place to start: where you bought it from. Plead ignorance...and it may be they'll take pity on you. Then again, their pity might extend only as far as you paying the going rate for a new board. Won't hurt to ask, though: often we do not receive simply because we don't ask...

Fan is alway running on my new dv7-4290us. Should I exchange for a new one or is this normal?

I just got my new dv7-4290us from the HP store and after a little while of playing with it, I noticed that the fan seems to always be running. It's not spinning very fast, just kind of a soft blowing or purring sound but audible for sure. Is this normal for this notebook or notebooks with quad cores and dedicated graphics? I called HP tech support and asked them if it was normal for the fan to run all the time, but they where kind of clueless with, 3 different guys giving me 3 different answers. I did mess around with some power management settings and the HP Thermal program but that didn't help. Turning off the fan always on setting in the bios just causes the fan to blow up every 20 seconds, so that is not a solution. There wasn't a bios update on the driver page, so I don't know about that as a fix. Otherwise everything seems to be functioning properly with no BSOD or lockups so far. The computer doesn't seem to be running hot (core temps stay under 50°c under light load) and the fan doesn't sound unhealthy like it has a bad bearing or anything. I just want to know if the fan always running at a low speed thing is normal on these machines. From my expereince with notebooks the fan alway running is a sign that your system is not cooling properly, so I wanted to get a second opinion from fellow users before I go through the hastle of exchanging this for a new one.

Does this happen on AC power only? There maybe an option in BIOS for 'Fan always on while on AC power'.

When am i entitled to have my macbook exchanged for a new one?

I bought my Macbook PRO 17 inch last Sept4, 2007 in hongkong.
July 8, 2008, it froze. A portion of the screen displayed a pixellated image and all the proggrams, including the Tiger OS froze. after i hardbooted, it worked. but in the next 20 minutes or so, a) it still froze b) the LCD didn't light up at all, c) an error message was all i could see on the display and i coudn't get past it.
July 9, 2008, i brought it to the apple technical support in my country, here in the Philippines. About 5 days later, i got a text message saying that the problem was the logic board and the optical drive and that they've already ordered for the parts and will inform me as soon as they fix it.
I drop by the following week (wednesday, i think) just in case my laptop is ready for release, and i find out that it is already fixed. i bring it home and it works fine.
July 17, 2008, same errors happen. It freezes, Part of the screen pixellates, same error reading that i cant get through.
July 18, 2008. i Bring it back to the apple apple technical support and am told that its a software problem. a technician fidgets with it on mac's version of pc's DOS. He tells me that it can't be fixed on Disc Utility though the problem can be viewed there. he releases the laptop back to me this same day telling me that it is fixed.
July 27, 2008. Same problems occur again. Freezes, part of the screen pixellates, same error reading that i cant get through.
I am told that the parts get shipped from Singapore and that sometimes, they get reconditioned parts. not brand new.
I demand that they replace my laptop since i doubt that they can really fix it.
a) Lack of faith. If they knew what was wrong with it in the first place, they should have been able to fix it the first time.
b) reconditioned parts?
c) whatever is in my laptop ruins new or reconditioned replacement logic boards
d) it can't go on forever, this going back and forth from the repair center.
I am told to call the apple 1-800 number to request for a replacement.
July 28, 2008 I call the apple 1-800 number. i talk to a service officer named ELVIS.
he denies that they use "used" or "reconditioned" replacement parts. It is a very long and excruciating phone call with a very defensive support officer, yet in the meantime, my laptop is in limbo. so is my work. i am leaving for a trip the coming weekend and i will need a laptop.
July 29,2008 i drop be the apple technical/service center and demand that they give me a service unit while they try again to fix my laptop. they promise a service unit the following day.
July 30,2008. i drop by to get the service unit. it is a scratched and battered 1 5inch macbook pro. unpresentable, but it will have to do while they try to fix my laptop.
It is August 18,2008. almost 40 days since i first took my laptop to the apple service center. i still do not have my laptop. I've called Elvis last friday, August15,2008 and he has no answers for me.
when will this problem be solved?

No computer fixing takes this long, at least not knowing what is going on... Call and ask for updates. If they cannot provide feedback, tell them to call you back within a certain number of days (say, 48 hours) to provide you with feedback.
If they still don't know what's going on with your computer, well that's at least getting to embarrass them by then for sure. As soon as you have reached a certain psychological barrier you set for yourself (say, 1 month, 2 months...) being without your own machine, start pressuring them for a new one.
Apple computers have a one year warranty even without Apple Care... You said you bought it last September, early September. Ask them to give you a new machine by then at the very maximum, since it is already past mid-August. Be firm, calm, and level-headed, write down anything you might want to say beforehand, don't ever sound like you hesitate or are confused on any issue. Communication is an art and a science, you have to persuade, achieve your goals, avoid confusion, acquire information, et cetera.
Every day that passes without your machine is money lost for you, time and energy lost, and ultimately, you paid for something which is devaluating and not even in your possession. I feel the same way about my car when dealership X or collision center Y promises one week repairs and it takes longer. They are always in the wrong not to follow up on their promises, and they know it. As powerless as they might be, they have to respect their customers. It goes a long way. I converted about a third of my faculty and my friends to Apple goods and services, so I expect respect in return. Word of mouth is a dangerous tool.
Good luck,

My charger is broken im I able to exchange for a new one

So my Ipod 5 charger began to have turtle necks, which they say is usually a sign. Unfortuanly that came true! My Ipod charger isnt working unless you push the cord really hard in although when i tryed it one more time it was working. Im I allowed to exchange for a new one

Yes, if within 1 year from date of purchase, and Apple determines it is faulty do to a defect and not from abusive use. Good luck. Cheers.

Does the apple warranty on my iphone cover me if my charger stops working? Can i exchange for a new one for free?

My charger has developed one of those wrinkles near the plug and only works if I hold it a certain way and push it in weird. I want a new charger from Apple but don't want to pay for it. I bought a warranty along with my iPhone 5s and the worker said I would get a free phone if I broke mine since I had a warranty, he also said something about a new charger. Can I take my broken one into the store and trade it in for a new one for free since I have the warranty?

Matters what model you want to trade it in for, if it's the same than yes. If it's a cheaper one they're going to give you how much more money your current phone is worth compared to your new phone. Also, for the charger that depends on our plan and Apple

Iphone has a dead pixel, will apple exchange for a new one?

I just noticed a dead pixel on the center of iphones display. The pixel is tiny but my eyes keeps fixating on them and its annoying. What should I do?

They will replace it, they have reserves for replacement that often the manager is the only one aware of. I had the same problem and it drove me NUTS! The manger replaced it with his emergency secret stash. I feel so much better now and my new one is perfect. That one pixel in the middle of the screen was so annoying!

IPhone 4s glitches, is cracked, and camera flash doesn't work. What is the cost to exchange for a new one?

Front screen of my iPhone 4s is cracked, it freezes/lags, camera flash doesn't work, and every time you press a bit harder on the front screen red and grey vertical lines appear. I have had it for more than a year now, so how much will it cost for me to replace it?

MSI 970A-G46 SLI BIOS for processor

Hi!
I have been considering to buy a MSI 970A-G46 SLI with a AMD FX-6300 6C 3.5Ghz Black Edition processor.
What i have researched is that some motherboards do not have updated BIOS for AMD FX processors.
So now im wondering, does MSI 970A-G46 SLI have this updated BIOS for AMD FX processors? or do i need to update it myself with an older AMD AM3 socket processor?
Thanks alot for the feedback.

I have seen it reported here w/ stock clocks during stress tests. IE: Prime 95 or Intel Burn Test
It has also been seen when doing rendering, Antec spot cools and vrm coolers have been used in the past to enable better overclocking, but I wouldn't.
Quote
I have seen multiple people online with this and a 125w CPU. 125w cpus are in the cpu support list as well
The board will run with 125 watt cpu's and will work fine for many users, there may however be some issues if stress tests are used or airflow is insufficent.
This is the only downside to AMD using the same socket over and over, some older designs will "work", but weren't designed with the future cpu's in mind.

Help: new MSI 970a-g46 not booting.

hello.
i searched this forum before posting but couldn't find a solution that worked, so i thought i'd post my issue and see if y'all could help. basically, after installing the mobo and all the parts, powering on the machine does nothing but spin the fans and illuminate phase 1 CPU light for a split second. then nothing. no beeps, no further activity.
i just purchased brand new:
MSI 970A-G46
AMD FX 8-Core
Ballistix 4GB DDR3 PC3-12800 (1 stick)
Diablotek EVO ATX midtower.
and i'm using these my old parts:
Themaltake Purepower 500 ATX 12V 2.0
Gigabyte G Force 8 Series (GV-NX86S256H) graphics card
an IDE PCI card (where my 160gb maxtor with the OS connects)
two SATA drives seagate 500GB and a WD 2TB
up untill i shut down my old system to build this one, everything was working fine.
after reading the forum, i've tried moving my RAM from slot 2 to each other slot. trying to boot each time had same result.
i tried to reseat the CPU chip, but went no further than taking the fan off and making sure the CPU pins were not visible. then pushed down on the fan with some force while i put it back. trying to boot had the same result.
i've tried to clear the CMOS, but honestly not sure if i did it right. moved the jumper over, then waited a bit and moved it back. tried booting after that, same result.
i'm hoping someone has a quick fix that might keep me from pulling the mobo back out and starting again.
(side question: if i do have to start again, do i need more heatsync themal goo or will the stuff already on the CPU still work since it's never turned on?)
thanks in advance for any help. if i can provide more info on my setup, please let me know.
this is my first build all on my own and it's having predictable results.

i searched and found i made a real rookie mistake. :(

2. Did you plug in the 4/8-pin CPU power connector located near the CPU socket? If the motherboard has 8 pins and your PSU only has 4 pins, you can use the 4-pin connector. The 4-pin connector USUALLY goes on the 4 pins located closest to the CPU. If the motherboard has an 8-pin connector with a cover over 4 pins, you can remove the cover and use an 8-pin plug if your power supply has one. This power connector provides power to the CPU. Your system has no chance of posting without this connector plugged in! Check your motherboard owners manual for more information about the CPU power connector. The CPU power connector is usually referred to as the "12v ATX" connector in the owners manual. This is easily the most common new-builder mistake.

wow. plugged in the 4 pin cpu power and it booted into bios. so thanks for the help and for listening.

MSI 970A-G46 and SLI Bridge

So I use a Ge-Force 545 1.5GB card on my machine and when I purchased it I got a good deal so I picked up 2. I had the second on put up until now and when I had to buy a new MB I purchased the MSI 970A-G46. Now I thought I'd go ahead and use the second 545 card and make it a SLI setup, however the MSI 970A-G46 doesn't appear to have included the SLI Bridge. Was this an oversite or what because without it it's kinda hard to sell it as a SLI Motherboard.

A SLI Bridge is among the Optional Accessories what means it is not usually included unless it is offered that way or that kind of accessory is usually included in the local market where it is sold. Since boards of that price level usually don't come with a SLI Bridge (or are used for SLI) it was obviously not included with your board. If you need a bridge check ebay where you will easiely find one.

MSI 970A-G46 Video problem

Well hello there!
So I have this MSI 970A-G46 motherboard, with a HIS ATI Radeon HD 5450 Graphics card and a AMD FX4100 processor with 4GB of RAM (self-built PC).
I have been running this computer for about a year now without any problem.
About 2 days ago, the problem started. It wouldn't boot, it won't show anything. Just make a Beep noise. It makes a 1 long beep and 2 short beeps. So I went to many forums and found out that this message means there is a video error and it is not able to connect to the monitor to show any other information.
So I opened my system, just made sure everything is fixed tightly and nothing is loose (nothing was loose. I even maybe cleaned it up a bit), and then closed it. It booted up! Weird right? So I went along using it until today, my (Linux) OS just hung up. I had no clue what to do. So I powered it off, and restarted it. The same issue happened again! It would just give me those beeps and won't start up. This time, I took out my graphics card, cleaned it with a brush, and placed it back. Again it booted properly! Now again my PC is fine (in fact, I'm typing this from the very same PC itself).
I am sure this is going to happen again. I have no clue why is happening. So I thought you people might have a better idea.
So why exactly is this happening and how do I avoid it?
P.S. I'm sorry if I haven't provided enough information. Please let me know if you need to know anything else.

I think the video card is somehow broken, try other PCIE slot. If possible, test the card on other PC to narrow down the issue range.

Msi 970a-g46 FX8320/50

I need some advice about my motherboard and which cpu to use I currently have the msi 970a-g46 bios version 2.5 motherboard and a phenom II x6 1045t. I got a bad 1045t it constantly bsods. I know it’s my cpu as i have tried other motherboards and the same happens. I was wondering whether I should go for an FX 8320/50 if anyone else has any experience using these combos I checked the cpu support list and the bios version I am using supports both the fx 8320 and 8350 I just wanted to know if it is possible and if its stable. Any help is appreciated.

Is there some specific reason you have for wanting an 8-core? Most people I chat with think that 8 cores is faster than 6 cores as though just the number of cores is material to performance but that rarely is the case, actually (Depends mostly on the software--not a lot of software will even use 6-cores, let alone 8.) I'd grab yourself an FX-6300 without a doubt--the G46 and the FX-6300 is a terrific combination. I'm running the 2.5 "bios" version as well, and I think you'd notice a distinct performance difference from the 1045t PII, most especially because your 1045t is obviously defective... It depends on the cpu, but mine runs at ~4.5GHz ROOB at standard voltages and with standard cooling--but AMD seems to have good yields on the 8300, as well. If you push the overclocking aspect as in you like to deviate from stock voltages and so on--and you are dead-set on 8 cores--get a 990FX board, as I think you'd be happier. The G46 is not even close to being as fragile as it is sometimes made out to be, but the reality is that it was designed to support running 125W cpus @ stock settings only--which it will likely do all day and all night without a problem. The FX-6300, otoh, is a power-efficient little bugger you have to push to get much over its 95W max, and the G46 will allow you a respectable amount of leeway with that cpu if you happen to want to do that. I can highly recommend the G46/FX-6300 combination!
