MSI K9A2CF-F freezes with MSI NX8400GT and NX8500GT

Hi, all
I've a brand new mainboard K9A2CF-F with an AMD Phenom 9500 and a NX8400GR video card. Windows is running fine but when using 3D the machine freezes, sometimes it also freezes with 2D activities. Today I changed the card for a NX8500GT-TD512Eh but I've got the same problem. When I put a Ge-force 6200 in my computer the machine runs fine but this card is pretty slow.
Things I did, reinstalled windows, latest updates, latest nvidia driver, bios upgrade to v1.2, vga bios was allready the latest, changes psu with a heavier one.
Now i've got the vga card in the second pcie slot and strange enough the computer is running now for almost 30 minutes. Maybe is it something with running at 16x. But what could this be that the machine crashes at 16x?

Can it be the PSU? It's now running the whole evening in the PCIe 8x slot without any crash. Is it consuming more power when running at 16x speed bus?
First tested PSU is an Mtek 350Watt.
3V = 14A
5V = 30A
12V = 15A
The other one is an SumVision 400W
3.3V = 26A
5V = 30A
12V = 15A
They indeed have the same 12V current of 15A.
At the moment in the machine
1x MSI K9A2CF with Pehnom 9500 (bios in fail safe settings)
1x MSI NX8500GT
1x DDR PC6400 2GB
1x SATA2 harddrive
1x DVD player
1x casefan
at last i'm running dual screens but it also freezes when running a single monitor

Macbook Pro Freezes with Screen Distortion and other problems...

So I've had my 13' Macbook Pro for about 9 months and I am encountering problems with it. My Macbook would sometimes freeze at random and the screen would distort as well, also, the screen would react whenever I would move the laptop around by either reverting back to a normal screen (still frozen) or more distortion which leads me to believe that it might have something to do with the hardware. But all this is temporarily solved when I force shut off my laptop (hold the power button for 3 seconds) and restart it. It can start up again with no problem, but this happens again, more early than usual and becomes more consatnt. However this is lessened whenever I don't use my laptop for an extended amount of time, but it does happens again whenever I do use it for some time.
Another problem I've been encountering is that, at times after I force shut off the laptop, my computer would not turn back on. Instead, the laptop beeps 3 times, pause, then beep 3 times again. I have looked into this and discovered that this means that I have "No Good Banks"..........I have no idea what this means but I guess it means that I might have faulty RAM.
What I ask is that if anyone has had similar problems and if they know what to do or what exactly what the problem is so that I might be able to do something about it.
Info about Macbook:
Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory: 4GB 1600 Mhz DDR3

Bump. Anyone have any ideas on this?
I "shut it off" last night, but when I turned it on again tomorrow, it turned out it didn't quite shut down?
It booted to the grey log-in screen, basically.
I've also come to the realisation that my charger isn't registered (the LED isn't orange/green like it usually is), and I can't get a "battery status" (I'm sure it has another name, I just don't know what it is) when I click on the little button on the left hand side of the laptop. Usually, it would show green dots/LEDS to tell me how far along it's charged, but now I get nothing.
I get the distinct feeling something's up with my battery, and maybe my RAM (because of the repeated triple beep after shutting down last night).

Mavericks freezing with spinning symbol and strange screen after forcing restart

Hi,
My Mac has freezed (or almost that) and showed the spinning symbol (in gray). I couldn't use, so I forced the restart.
After that, I've received a strange screen that I've never seen in my life, with a folder and a "?" inside it:
I noticed that the freeze happened exactly at the same time my Internet connection got lost, because my Apple TV has also stopped (but not freezed).
I've been experiencing problems with Mavericks since the begining ( https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5836640 ), and I'm seriously considering downgranding to ML.
I'll appreciate any help on this. Thank you so much.

My screen is freezing with broken pixels and lines

iMac i7 2.93Ghz 12gb DDR3 memory Running 10.7.5. Start Up Disc Lion HD
The issue appears to be random. Started a couple of months ago. The screen starts to freeze, mouse no longer works and unable to force quit apps or shut down normally and appears pixelated with various lines across the screen.
I can t say what triggers it and it seems to happen even when just a few minor apps are open like mail and Firefox.
The computer does seem to run hot and starts to work harder it seems.
The only way to resolve the freeze up is to hard shut down then pull the plug out of the power on wall and use the Pram key strokes to reboot. If I don't zap the pram or remove the power plug it wont re start.
Hopefully I can attach a picture here.
Any info as to how to fix would be happilly recieved
Jackie

Pretty much have the same problem! Everything work, but always got the pixels blinking all over the screen, until the whole computer freeze (or at least the screen) and I have to reboot it. I can reboot with the button and my gear works (mouse etc) Had to buy a new mouse recently though. Don't know if it has anything to do with the comp.
The comp seems to work way better in games (Heroes of Newerth) where the pixels are all gone. The comp. also seems to be a bit slower than usual overall, thinking at random.

Screen freeze with odd squares and occasional crashing

I've had my new IMac 27" (2.66 Ghz i5) for a couple of weeks and it's crashed more times than Windows Vista ever did (about 7 times so far). Every now and again, the screen freezes (sound keeps going) and strange squares appear. The only solution is to hard reboot using the on/off switch.
Today it had trouble starting up again, requiring 2 or 3 goes before coming back to life.
Help! Any suggestions/fixes? Is this a common problem?

Thanks for this. Just taken a look at the Console log and the following is listed at the time of the latest crash:

Startup screen freezes with vertical lines and a restart message

So this problem just started a couple of days ago it seems to be getting worse. Occasionally it will start-up but not often and at the moment it won't, I just keep getting this screen on start-up: http://www.flickr.com/photos/42697060@N04/3933706005/ and http://www.flickr.com/photos/42697060@N04/3934486754/
Not sure if this is the same problem people are having with the video card or not. Thanks for the help!

I'm getting the same look, with all kinds of squares and lines on screen, although mine starts while the computer is running with color reversals and lines on the working space. Then I get a freeze and have to do a hard re-start with the power button, and finally, what you're seeing. I did notice that when I unplugged the power adaptor, the problem has gone away, at least for the past 30 minutes or so.
I originally thought it was overheating, since if I shut it down and left it, it would re-start normally after 15 minutes, but crash again in 10 minutes of running. Then I came here, and read about the video card. That could be, but why only when plugged into the power adaptor? The power adaptor has been acting up lately, in that the light is sometimes off, sometimes amber when screen shows 100%, like that.
I'll plug back and in and see what happens, and put it here. 4:53 PM Saturday.
I'll keep fooling around with it, and report back here. I'll also make an appointment for next week with the nearest Apple store - 1.5 hour drive. Grrrr. I'm home with the flu this weekend. I'm tempted to go now and shake everyone's hand.

Hangs and freezes with low CPU and RAM load.

I have a Macbook Pro (13 inch mid 2012) and I have an issue with slow responses and hangs, especially when using Finder. I have done all of the software troubleshooting that I can think of including Disk Utility (verify and fix permissions, verify and repair disk). I’ve tried safe boot and AHT. All returned a healthy result, but the hangs still continued. The CPU load is less than 5% during these hangs and the RAM pressure is low. There is 100+ GBs of free space on the Hard Drive.
I used Time Machine to backup my data and I went to the Genius Bar. The representative concluded that it was a bad Hard Drive despite the results from the before mention Disk Utility. I thanked him and decided to install a new 840 EVO SSD myself.
I booted using the External Hard Drive that contained my Time Machine backup. I formatted and partitioned the SSD using GUID and Extended Journal. I selected to restore the Time Machine backup, but it failed. I do not remember the details of the restore failure since it occurred at 2 a.m. Frustrated, I decided to do a fresh install of Mavericks and restore my data using Migration Assistant at a later date.
Now I have a new SSD and a freshly installed OS and the problem is the same. What else could be the cause of these hangs and beach balls? A faulty SATA cord? Faulty Logic Board?
Thank you for your time.

If the only thing that you have installed on the SSD is the OSX and NOTHING else, then that indicates a hardware problem. Run the Apple Hardware Test, twice if you have the patience - the extended version. Note an error free AHT is not definitive.
Reset the SMC and the NVRAM:
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204063
As a matter of procedure I also would boot into the recovery partition and run Disk Utility>First Aid, Verify, Repair and Permissions.
If there is no change, then another appointment at an Apple store genius bar will have to be scheduled.
I know that much if this is what you have already done, but the point here is to clearly eliminate as many possibilities before a genius bar appointment so that they can focus on other potential problem areas.
I am assuming this is a consistent and constant situation that will be repeated at an Apple store. If it is intermittent, that can be most difficult to diagnose.
Ciao.

Whilst online what I am looking freezes with a box and message that plug-in has crashed and do I wish to stop it or continue. How can I resolve this issue ?

Can I have help with solving a plug-in issue. My screen regularly freezes with this problem

No. I have since installed update to Flash player. Have not had a chance to test if it has helped. Will get back to you if I still need help. Many thanks.

ASE freeze with CPU 100% and IO 0%

Hi,
I have a production ASE server using 30 CPU's that's is "freezing" several times in the last week (requiring an machine reboot) and from the last sysmon taken we see that the first 4 cpu are 100% with IO 0%.

From SysWaits we see that event 29 (waiting for regular buffer read to complete) is high when we experience this problem.
No change was reported and the users and saying the system to be in the overall slower in the last weeks.
The version is the old 12.5.4 with the latest patch available and the OS is HP-UX.The machine has 256Gb of memory.
As anyone experienced a behavior like this?
Thanks

Hi Ricardo
I have seen this when underlying storage changed from raw SAN devices to NAS file system devices.
tempdb writes after a certain amount of volume queued up in a serial way choking the whole server.
This may or may not be what is happening on your server.
Having said that : If this is not something new then what was the last change in your case ?
Especially related to storage
Wait event 29 is related to storage and I/O.

Adobe Premiere Cs6 Windows freezes with Tesla M2090 and Quadro FX 4800

Premiere works firn with the Quadro FX 4800 in Windows. But I bought a Tesla M2090 and it loses all power. For example a video cannpy be displayed on the monitor screen and if you try to play it on the porgram window, it freezes the whole application. It has to be killed.
I wonder if anybody ever tested this card. It passes all tests (the M2090) from the Cusa Toolkit.
Maybe somebody knows a utility to test the Tesla and see if it really works as expected.
I can open a technical support ticket if it makes sense.
Update: I moved the Quadro FX and Tesla to a MAC, there is no advantages on speed when exporting a movie. Isn't Premiere supposed to work faster with a Tesla on Mac as well. That is what they told me in tech support. The M2090 does not work in Windows, and in a Mac is not taken into consideration, I guess since Nvidia did not write a Mac driver for this card and it still uses a generic CUDA driver
I am despondent over this. Adobe support gave me wrong information.

It is explicitly stated Tesla C2070/2075 and a Quadro card only to achieve a Maxumus configuration, not a very old FX card. Given the limited number of CUDA cores in the Tesla card and the limited bandwidth, the first Maximus results are far from appealing. A Quadro 6000 + Tesla C2075 (€ 6000) is slower than a GTX 570 for a fraction of the price (€ 270). Talk about BFTB.
From the documentation I have found about the M2090, for a whopping € 4800, it requires Windows Server 2008, is still based on the Fermi architecture and has the same number of cores as a 580, but less bandwidth.

Calendar Synching Freezing with Zire 31 and Blackberry

The problem is it will start synching the calendar, get to record 1134 (always that one) and freeze. Nothing, stopped. Can't get it to every fully synch. Does anyone know why and how I can fix? I'm ready to give up and retype into the BB.

Hello skane414 and welcome to the Palm forums.
That record, 1134, is probably corrupted. Have you tried installing and running the free version of Pimlico DBFixIt to confirm the existance of a corrupted record?

Random display freeze, with strange colors and screeching noises

True story. My (totally new) MacBook freezes 3-4 times a day, with lots weird colors and screeching noises. I've added photos of this phenomena on Flickr, here:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/photomaton/3433889119/
http://www.flickr.com/photos/photomaton/3434685366/
Couple of stuff about this machine:
- Sometimes the noises are muted; but the images speak for themselves.
- I installed 4GB memory. It was done by a pro.
- This mostly happens when I connect an external display and/or use VMWare. But it also happens from time to time, with no external display, and no VMWare running.
Help.
Please: Help.

so the problem lies with the graphics card or the RAM? because i had a ram upgrade to 4gb ram as well.
my mac went for 3 days w/o error until today and i opened up the console and this the error i saw.

Swipe between pages feature is freezing with magic mouse and magic trackpad in Mavericks

I am experiencing a bug in Mavericks with my Magic trackpad and the Magic mouse. This bug comes and goes and is very sporadic. When it happens I am usually in a browser like Firefox or Safari, or in iPhoto. Anything that uses the Swipe between pages feature usually locks up, and on top of this it locks the scroling up and down function in the browsers and in iPhoto. The only thing that makes these functions work again is to reeboot or turn off bluetooth and turn it back on. I see that many people are having this problem in other posts, and I am just wondering if Apple is actually working on this bug or has somebody found what trigers this bug and do they have the fix for it?
Thanks for your help
Chris

Maybe this will help. You can look for other ideas in the 'More Like This' box to the right.

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

I too have had this problem. It is not a Kernel panic, as far as I can tell. I have two Apple Cinema Displays connected. Both are dark, yet this time my mouse arrow is present. Most other times the screens are just dark. This is the first time I can ssh into my box and look at processes running. Other times the box was dead to the world. This most often happens after: a) lock screen, or b) Screen sharing into the box remotely. When I arrive back at work, the system is on, the screen is black, ssh into it may or may not work. This time I tried to kill all my processes one by one. Nothing released the machine display. Screen sharing into it also yields a black screen. I wish I knew how to restart a process like "WindowServ." Reboot computer via ssh command and display are up and running again.
I ran MemTest extensively from single user mode. No errors. I switched boxes, for I bought two identical systems (one for server, one for workstation.) I switched hard drives and ram. Issues still exists on both machines.
