Need help, i'm suspecting its a BIOS problem

I dunno whether i should consider this a BIOS problem or something. But I hope someone could help me find the fault.
Okay, here goes:
When i first turned on my computer, i had this strange BIOS error (I could not remember sorry), then my PC rebooted as usual, but after the Windows XP loading screen, a black screen and a cursor appears, and the PC hangs. I rebooted the PC and my monitor could not receive a signal from the CPU. I tried using my old analog display cable, but it did not work. I then tried plugging the monitor to my laptop. It worked. Then I tried replacing my Radeon 9600XT with my old Geforce 2 MX, but again, it did not work. I checked the inside of the PC and all of the fans (the mobo and the graphic card ) were working.(This was before i plugged in the Geforce2 MX card). I also tried resetting the bios, but it did not work.
Here's my specs
P4C 3.0GHZ
MSI Neo2-S 865PE
2x 256mb Kingston HyperX
Sapphire ATI Radeon 9600XT
120GB Maxtor SATA HDD
30GB Maxtor IDE HDD
Creative Audigy 2 ZS
Iomega CD-R
one DVD drive
Eizo 15" LCD monitor
I'm totally clueless.. any help would be greatly appreciated

What s y a running? Anything like style xp?
I've had a prob with the thing after I installed it and combined it with
TweakXP pro4 & SP2 .
I then owned a Fujitsu-Siemens TFT and when I switched it to auto mode,
it sometimes was fixed. Check if there is an auto-function on your CRT.
Problem is, according to me, something with the Kernel.
Should try booting it with the orginal boot.ini.
But just to be sure:
Enter the bios, load optimized bios. Could check to be sure if the
aparture size of the AGP is set to the amount of mem available
on the GraphCard and check if the sequence AGP/PCI is there.
During boot, F7 see whats available for OS and take the orignal boot file.
Could try in the boot.ini to delete the /kernel at the end of the sentence.
Dunno if it's gonna help you but it helped me.

Need help solving my FCP OS9.2 update problem

Hey all you maciacs. I just bought my second mac yesterday (used of course) and it had OS 9.1 on it. Well I was trying to install FCP on there under OS 9.2 and I went to upgrade and it kept saying system error 10. So I kept trying to figure things out and go on the internet and download OS 10 something. Now I was able to install FCP on my G3 (it's used as well) but I don't get real time effects.
So long story short I stayed up about 6 hours trying to figure this thing out then it gets stuck on the internet and I restart but it doesn't reboot all the way a question mark and the half face blinks on and off.
I need help is there a way to get the G3 to be at 500 MHZ speed to give me those real time effects or would it be cheaper to get this thing going on this G4? Who out there knows and cares to help a brother struggling?
Is it u?

Hi, finallyamacman -
OK, it's a G4 (AGP) model.
I just bought my second mac yesterday (used of course) and it had OS 9.1 on it. Well I was trying to install FCP on there under OS 9.2...
Does it have OS 9.1, or OS 9.2.1 or OS 9.2.2? If you updated it from OS 9.1, did you use a CD or a download update?
What OS 9 Install CDs do you have available? Specifically, retail ones - all retail OS 9 Install CDs have a white label with a large gold 9.
So I kept trying to figure things out and go on the internet and download OS 10 something.
You can not upgrade OS 9 (any version) to OSX by using download updates - they just don't exist. To get OSX on that machine, an initial Install of OSX must be done using a retail package disk set, then that can be upgraded within its base version using download updaters.
...it doesn't reboot all the way a question mark and the half face blinks on and off.
That indicates the machine can not find a usable OS from which to boot.
This can result from many events - the OS on the hard drive has become damaged in some way; one or more of its critical components has been moved out of the System Folder, such as the Extensions folder; there is directory corruption; or something else.
It can also result on some models from the internal battery being too weak or dead. Since it is a used machine, it is reasonable to assume it was left sitting unplugged for a while before you got it; this will drain the battery much more rapidly than would happen during normal usage. I'd recommend replacing the battery - you can get one at places like RadioShack for about US$17, cheaper on-line.

I need help with the boot setup in BIOS

I am trying to reinstall windows 7 back onto my sister's laptop, The BIOS Version is 3.5
I went to the boot order to put the cd/dvd rom in the first boot order and then the notebook hard dive second, selecting f 10 to save and exit. When the computer boot up to go through it process, it goes to a screnn saying that boot device cannot be found, please install a window operating system (3F0) Going back to the BIOS and setting the BIOS to default, selecting f 10, save and exit. Goes through the boot up getting the boot device cannot be found.....
Again I go through the BIOS to the boot order and moving the cd/dvd rom first and the notebook hard drive second and selecting the f 10 to save and exit. Anyway, I still get Boot Device Cannot be Found, Please Install a Windows Operating System (3F0).
Can someone please help me or is this a lost cause.

Hi,
Rather than setting the boot priority in the bios menu, try the following and see if there's any change.
Remove the installation dvd and shutdown the notebook.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to enter the Start-up Menu.
Insert the Windows DVD.
Select the Boot options menu ( f9 ), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and hit enter. You may also get a prompt to 'Press any key to continue' - do this if asked.

DP-K

[SOLVED] Need help setting default boot device in bios

I have two harddrives S0 and S1 my windows partition is on S0 and my archlinux and grub is on S1. The problem is that I can't set the default boot device to S1 only S0. I have to F8 everytime I start up. Is there a way to set S1 as my default boot device. I tried searching this on google but I couldn't find any relevant posts
Thanks,
Shrub

Hi and welcome to the forum.
I have never heard of the term "S0" and "S1" for drives. Perhaps you mean sda and sdb.
Go into the BIOS, choose your equivalent of "Hard disk priority", move the drive that you want to boot first above the rest of the others, and then exit by saving the settings (usually F10). That should do the trick. Alternatively, you could open up the case and move the SATA cables around, but be careful if you use "sdx" name conventions in /etc/fstab.
Thanks for the reply
I made up S0 and S1 for simplicity. sda and sdb makes more sense I suppose.
My BIOS does not recognize sdb in the priority menu, I'll try moving the SATA cables.

Im a Uni student&need help:JAVA Final Year Project: Undo Manager Problem

Hey all,
Im writing a Final Year Project and have minimal experience writing in JAVA.
It is an information visualisation assignment which involves reproducing code/text in a reduced format. Sort of to do with Line oriented statistics.
http://www.cc.gatech.edu/aristotle/Tools/tarantula/continuous.gif
This image will give you an idea of what im talking about.
Anyway, i need to know if its possible to get information about individual undos/edits from an undomanager.
Basically i need to be able to say, for example,
there are 12 undos
undo 12 occurs at line X
undo 11 occurs at line Y
etc etc
I need to be able to get this information without actually invoking the Undo last edit call.
Im bringing the Java undomanager tutorial home but from what ive read it seems like impossible?
Any and all help appreciated.
Regards,
P

When I was at uni I had to implement that for the text area of an IDE. All I did was rip off the code from the Notepad.java that comes with the SDK.

What country are you in? Phones for certain countries where GPS on phones is outlawed (China I think is one) have no GPS built in, or functionality removed.

But, unfortunately, the Volume is not mounted
xsanctl mount 2K

Please help me to figure out this situation, I will be grateful for any information.
Thanks

That looks like an I/O error. You may have an issue with one or more of the data LUNs. Check the system log for errors.

The first problem is because your "for" loop has no "while" condition in it:
for(Node p = head.next; ; p = p.next)...
Therefor, the only way out of the loop is via break, return, or exception. In your case, you don't "break" out of the loop, so there's no way it can get to this statement.
The second problem, you didn't cover all cases to set "p", so it won't let you return an un-initialized value.

Need help with MSI GT70 0NC-029NE bluescreen problems

I've just bought this new MSI computer, and downloaded a few programs like skype, steam, origins etc. When I open all of them at the same time, the bluescreen appears saying; memory management. The computer has 8gb ram, so it shouldnt really be a problem.
Would really be nice with some help on this as it is quite annoying

The amount of memory is not the problem, but a fault with the memory, or the memory controller (in the CPU) could be the problem.
Is there a particular program that causes this BSOD?

Need help, i'm suspecting its a BIOS problem
