N460GTX Cyclone 768D5/OC blue artifacts and stopped responding

In the last month I have been having issues with my graphics card to the point that I can't play any game (at all, always stops responding), flash on websites cause video driver "stopped responding" error, vlc or media player videos cause stopped responding error, and any 3d screen saver preview in windows 7 causes artifacts and sometimes the stopped responding error. I can still do anything 2D fine but always haver little blue artifacts all over the screen. Current drivers are Nvidia 266.58, I have tried MSI drivers, Nvidia 260.* drivers and a set of older Nvidia drivers that supposedly didn't have the stopping issues but all had problems even after fully wiping the old drivers on every install.
Given the power issues I have seen in past threads I hooked up my Kill-a-watt again (I always baseline my systems on burn in with that), and I am finding my Wattage draw hasn't changed. Kill A Watt measures 188W avg Draw, Peak 250W. All drives set on RAID to spin up sequentially so I don't get the max draw you'd expect. I ran this with superPi, prime95 and memtest and all run fine with max draw I saw at 250W. I tried to run 3d benchmark tests but like all 3d apps they all crash after video card not responding error. When building this I carefully specd out the power supply with conservative numbers and multiple online calculators, this PS should be able to handle adding 2 more 1TB drives as long as I don't do SLI (don't have room in case anyway with RAID controller).
I have tried all I can think of to resolve this but nothing helps and I'm thinking it's got to be an issue with the card since nothing in my config has changed. Is it the card for sure and will need RMA?
Here are my specs:
Asus P6T WS Pro Mobo
Intel Core i7-930 Bloomfield 2.8GHz LGA 1366 130W

MSI N460GTX Cyclone 768D5 - NVIDIA updates to driver not working

Hi!
I own a MSI N460GTX Cyclone 768D5 card and using the driver provided in MSI website (Driver Version:259.22). Recently I tried some new games but some were giving graphic problems with it. Temperature wasnt a problem, and when I checked many NVIDIA users needed only to update their drivers to solve similar issues that I have encountered.
I tried going to to NVIDIA and used the auto-scan and downloaded the drivers 260.99, however on install, all gaming applications cease to function and even NVIDIA control panel malfunctions due to a "incorrect version" error.
Could you advise on how to proceed in getting an update for this particular card, thank you!

Use Driver Sweeper in Safe Mode to remove current drivers,
then reboot and boot to normal mode and install vga driver again

Powerbook G4 Loads to blue screen and stops!!!!

Hi,
I am running OS x 10.5.8 on my g4 powerbook. Its been no problem since I updated several months ago. Just in the past couple days my computer has been doing many odd things. Not loading sound drivers, slow operation and most painful is that when start up happens, it loads to the blue screen and stops and will remain there for some time and I have hard reset it. Then I try again usually 2-3 times. I have completed the permission repairs and done PRAM twice. Still loads up to blue screen and remains..
Can you please help me!!!

Try starting up from your latest OS installer CD or DVD. If the machine starts up from the disc, open Disk Utility from the Utilities menu in the Installer application, select your internal hard drive, click the First Aid tab, and check the hard drive's SMART status near the bottom of the DU window. If it is Verified, run the Repair Disk routine, and if any repairs are needed, run that routine repeatedly until no further problems are noted and repaired. Then try starting the machine normally from its hard drive.
If the hard drive's SMART status is Failing, replace the drive. You can salvage un-backed-up files from it after you get your machine back up and running again.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The Guest login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

HT5137 i tried using the setting icon to reset the prints and icon to a bigger size, thereafter the setting icon lost colore to gray and stopped responding

i tried using the setting icon to reset the prints and icon to a bigger size, thereafter the setting icon lost color to gray and stopped responding.? most of the pop up boxes will also not respond why?

Thanks Winston, restarting my router worked for me too. Seems that somehow the DCHP (maybe due to the Mountain Lion upgrade?) had assigned the same IP address to both the AppleTV and my iMac. The AppleTV stopped appearing as an AirPlay device for my iPhone and Mac, but still the AppleTV had Internet access.
Restarting the router reassigned IPs and without fanfare, the AppleTV is now available to AirPlay.

I suspect one malformed address at the moment without much else to go on.

IE 11 Does not load pages and "Stops Responding" After 11/26/2013 Windows Update

I have Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. IE 11. (Doesn't matter if I try to open 32 or 64 bit IE)
I keep Automatic Updates on and they install as soon as they are available.
Everything on my PC was running fine 11/25/13.
I came to it 11/26/13 after Windows Updates ran and now whenever I open any webpages, it does not load the web page 100%, no hyperlinks can be clicked on and once you attempt to click on anything. I get the "IE 11 has stopped responding" bubble.
It also seemed to affect Firefox which does not completely load pages either.
Any shove in the correct way to help solve this would be helpful.

Robert -
Anyone who has gathered over 13,000 points is certainly to be respected as being super smart and uber helpful. However, your response is inadequate on two counts.
First, "stopped working" is not an inexact phrase, nor is it a euphemism trotted out by a newbie who hasn't the skill to describe the problem accurately. "stopped working" is an exact part of the error message issued by Windows. Of course it would
help if Windows would issue error messages that are more useful, but that is a different issue. For the purposes of this discussion, "stopped working" as part of the exact error message is a useful piece of information.
Second, despite your excellent suggestions for hunting down the problem, I'm guessing that few people here have the time or inclination to be beta testers for Microsoft. Even if the exact cause is found, it is not likely that anyone here will
be able to fix the problem. There are literally hundreds of people complaining about this problem in multiple forums. If you know your consumer behavior metrics, then you know that means tens of thousands are affected. This is systemic, not
a random problem on a few errant machines. Microsoft needs to know that they have a major problem on their hands and they need to fix it. I saw this problem starting with IE 10. Is it any wonder that in that time, IE usage has fallen greatly
while Chrome has become the dominant browser? (The only reason I am bothering to write instead of just shifting to Chrome is that Chrome also has its bugs, one of which affects a web app I use several times a week, so I need a functioning version of
IE.)
So thanks Robert for all your help in the past, but this response isn't helpful.
Microsoft, are you listening? Fix your browser.

Itunes freezes and stops responding after about 1 minute of being open

This problem has been happening only recently. It just freezes, I logged onto my computer yesterday and it did the same thing. And it's doing it again today!! its really frustrating! I just re-installed itunes, the latest version for windows. My computers specs can handle it no problem..
The song i am listening still plays, but just the program stops responding
I only have like 103 songs.
I got an ipod classic about a month ago and converted some videos for it, just letting you know incase that is the problem. but this never happened when i got my ipod or before.. only just now.

ITunes does not open preferences and stops responding

Hi! Whenever I open iTunes, it works fine but whenever I plug in my iPad, it stops responding. I read online that I have to go into preferences and some other stuff to fix it but when I try to go into preferences, it stops responding and doesn't come back. I have reinstalled iTunes many times and searched up different places but to no avail. Is there any way I can fix this?
(Btw, iTunes is fully updated)

Hello MidNightGamingMNG,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

Suddenly iphoto freezes and stops responding when I connect my cameras to download both photos and video. I've never had a problem downloading from these cameras before today. I have both a Nikon D700(SLR) and Kodak HD Zi8(pocket camecorder).What to do?

I've tried checking for updates (none necessary), running v 9.1.5
Everytime I open it and connect a camera I have to force quit because it stops responding and won't upload.
It's uploaded from both these cameras before with no problem.
How can I fix this?

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Pro cc gets stuck and stops responding constantly

For some reason my Premiere Pro CC will constantly get stuck performing a task, often incredibly simple ones, never complete it or even start it and then when I right click on it it says it's stopped responding and I have to close program and often restart teh computer and then whatever the task was works perfectly. This happens when adding a new file to the mediaborwser or when rendering something simple very very often. any thoughts?

CRIO disconnects from Ethernet network and stops responding to pings

We are running a cRIO application that periodically disconnects from the Ethernet network even though the VI continues to run on the cRIO.
The application has two parallel loops. One loop reads data from the FPGA and writes it to a RT FIFO. The second loop opens a TCP connection to a remote host, reads data from the RT FIFO, and transmits the data to the remote host. We have instrumented each loop to send messages to the serial port that indicate their status. When the cRIO disconnects, both loops continue to send their status messages to the serial port. The first loop happily continues reading data from the FPGA and writing it into the RT FIFO. The RT FIFO overwrites the oldest data when it fills up to keep it from overflowing. The second loop reports a TCP write timeout (tcp write error 56) around the time that the cRIO disconnects, after which it closes the existing TCP connection and then repeatedly tries to open a new TCP connection (each attempt times out after a 5 second delay).
All that appears normal and usually the connection is automatically restored. Occasionally, however, the cRIO is not able to re-open the TCP connection. Furthermore, the cRIO stops responding to pings from the remote host. On two occasions, the cRIO was finally able to open a new connection after 30-40 minutes. Other than that, the only way we've found out of this dilemma is to reboot the cRIO.
The frequency of the disconnects and the time before they occur doesn't seem connected to whether or not the cRIO is set to run the application at startup or if the application is run via an interactive VI window on the remote computer.
It is possible that the disconnects have something to do with which computer the cRIO is connected to, as the problems seem to happen much more frequently (often within minutes) when the cRIO is sending data to a laptop running Windows XP, but it can run for hours when sending data to a rackmount server running Windows Server 2003. Everything else (the speed and size of data being sent, the ethernet hub and cables, the VI running on the remote computer) is the same.

We're done most of the testing with a 9014 real time controller and a 9104 chassis. However, we've also seen similar behavior with 9014/9103 and 9102/9101 combinations.
The 9014 cRIO normally runs at around 50% CPU usage and less than 40% memory usage when the data is flowing steadily. The RT System Monitor did not indicate a spike in either before the cRIO disconnected.
Measurement and Automation Explorer is not able to connect to the cRIO after it disconnects. We tried pinging the cRIO from a different computer, but that also failed.
After disconnecting, the cRIO sends error messages to the serial port while trying to open a new TCP connection. It reports an error 56 (time-out error) 3 or 4 times (for a total duration of 15 or 20 seconds) and then reports an error 42 (generic error) at least 10 times per second for 18 seconds, and then switches back to 15 seconds of timeouts, and so on. When getting error 42, it ALWAYS gets it for 18 seconds straight. It usually gets error 56 for 15 seconds (3 timeouts) but sometimes for 20 seconds (4 timeouts).
When the cRIO disconnects, it can't be contacted by any computer through the ethernet port, yet the link lights still show that it is connected. If its connected directly, both the green and orange link lights on the cRIO light up, but when it is connected through the 10 Mb hub, only the orange link light lights up, but the hub shows that the cRIO is connected to it. In spite of this, it is still impossible to ping the cRIO in either scenario.
It is possible that, in addition to what computer the cRIO is connected to, the errors could be related to whether the cRIO has a direct connection to a computer or if it is connected through a hub. Today, we have only managed to get errors when the cRIO is directly connected to a laptop (one error after 1.5 minutes, one after 10 minutes, one after 7 minutes, etc.) There were no disconnects when the cRIO was connected to a 10 Mbps hub for more than half an hour.
Do any of those symptoms give you clues about what is happening?
Thanks!

Satellite L300-1DN - Blue Screen and STOP 0x00008086

Dear Toshiba users
I use Vista Service Pack 2 ,32-bit on Satelite L300-1DN. My laptop does not boot.
I get a blue screen with a message at the end STOP: 0x00008086
I tried F8 and Safe Mode and also F8 and Repair, but after starting downloading files is either getting stuck at "crcdisk.sys" or after getting the green flashing bar of Microsoft Co I get a black screen with a large white pointer and then again crashes and gives the same blue screen.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Seems that you had some problems with OS in the past
Did you try to recover the notebook using Toshiba disk?
Possibly it was hardware related issue
Check the HDD and RAM.
HDD can be checked using free software called Drive Fitness Test.
The RAM modules could be removed separately and you could try to run the notebook using one module only in each slot
Maybe this helps otherwise new modules should be used
Of course it could be possible that RAM is ok and the issue is related to serious motherboard fault
