Need help on diagnosis of Graphics Issue

Hello,
I need help to determine if I am experiencing a graphics card issue and what my options are if there are any experts out there I would appreciate some feedback.
*My system info:*
Model Name: Mac Pro
Model Identifier: MacPro2,1
Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 3 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Total Number Of Cores: 8
L2 Cache (per processor): 8 MB
Memory: 4 GB
Bus Speed: 1.33 GHz
Chipset Model: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT
Type: Display
Bus: PCIe
Slot: Slot-1
PCIe Lane Width: x16
VRAM (Total): 512 MB
Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de)
Device ID: 0x0602
Revision ID: 0x00a2
ROM Revision: 3233
*Description of Issue:* When playing 3D video games (i.e. Mass Effect 2 or Dragon Age) everything visually is fine for about 20 seconds and then I start to see pixelization (snow), texture anomalies and system freezes where mouse stops moving. It gives time slices occasionally so sometimes I can Alt + tab out of game and close it. Or the entire system just crashes. I think what is going on is some loop that is pegging either the CPU(s) or GPU.
Everything was working fine up until last night. I had been playing the games without issue. I am playing these games on Windows XP and Vista using Boot Camp.
This initially occurred on Windows XP playing Mass Effect 2.
These are the steps I took which essentially tell me it is not a software issue:
- Tested on another game Dragon Age (same result)
- Updated to latest Nvidia drivers (same result)
- Tested on separate Boot Camp Windows Vista with Dragon Age game (same result)
These results lead me to believe I may have a broken graphics card? But I want to be certain before I go out and purchase a new one.
*My Questions:*
- Is there some software to verify if my graphics card is shotty?
- Is re-seating the graphics card or memory worth trying?
- Cleaning the dust out of my machine?
- If I need a new graphics card, what are my options? Do I have to purchase it via Apple store? I would like to stick with an Nvidia card so am I stuck buying the same card I currently have or can I upgrade?
If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you,
Leapstepman

Is there some software to verify if my graphics card is shotty?
Techtool Pro has some testing, the AHT tests VRAM, but game benchmarks and stressing will tell you the most.
Is re-seating the graphics card or memory worth trying?
Absolutely. Just don't reinstall the graphics card until you clean it thoroughly.
Cleaning the dust out of my machine?
YES. A dust filled graphics card heatsink will cause the GPU to cook, and cause problems thet you describe.
If I need a new graphics card, what are my options? Do I have to purchase it via Apple store? I would like to stick with an Nvidia card so am I stuck buying the same card I currently have or can I upgrade?
You don't have to buy from Apple, but using with OS X limits your choices to Mac compatible or flashable PC versions.
There is an awful lot of user input into this topic here:

Need help with power supply & graphics card upgrades

I have a HP Pavilion p6320y that I bought 8 months ago. AMD Phenom II x4820 Quad Core processor. I play WoW and since the last big patch, have been suffering with low fps. I updated drivers and followed all the advice given to me by Blizz and finally figured out that my Nvidia GeForce 9100 (integrated graphics) isn't good enough anymore.
I checked my computer and discovered that I have a 300w power supply (12V) and read on another post here that something stronger than 300w is needed to run a decent graphics card.
Now for my questions:
How much of a power supply can I upgrade to without hurting my computer, but will be enough to run a good card?
What would be a good graphics card for this computer?
I've been looking at the Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express graphics card and wonder if that will work on my computer. Most of the nicer cards seem to be the PCI Express and I'm not sure if that will work.
Any advice will be most helpful. I have some experience with the inner workings of my PC and would like to fix this myself instead of running to the closest computer shop and paying someone else to. Thanks!
This question was solved.

Well, you are starting out from a fairly low baseline with the integrated graphics. It will not cost much to have a substantial increase if all you want to do is run WoW without error messages. Yes, the 300w power supply is an issue and rules out any card that will require its own power (i.e. needs its own power cord like a hard drive) but there are several mid-grade cards that can run off bus power alone (i.e. just from the pci-e slot itself). Just taking a quick look at newegg.com I see the following:
GeForce 9400 under $50
Radeon HD 4650 under $50
GeForce 9500GT a little over $50
Any of these should get you where you want to be and not require a PS upgrade. The slot you have available is a PCI Express x16 slot so don't look at AGP cards; they will not work. If you want to install the card you mention you need to get a better PSU.

Need help enabling PCI Express graphics slot on HP envy 700. HELP!

Hello, My name is Patrick. Im 14 and I need sombodys help. Before you finish reading and your about to leave a suggetion for me, Im ONLY 14 and im not that good with cpu WORDS. For instince, I had to search up what the pci express graphics slot was xD. Last time i tried to do this i had to call mutiple numbers that led me to breaking my cpu. If anybody could leave STEP-BY-STEP instructions to enable that pci express graphics i would be very appretiated. Now here are the things i know for sure. This craphics card is a Geforce 650 graphics card that i know for a fact can work on my Hp Envy desktop. I have enought power suplyage to power sed Graphics card. So I already know how to insert the card, But thats pretty much it. I dont know if i have to have the External graphics card in while enabling the pci graphics. So Please be very discrptive while you answer this. I have already failed once, and had to send in my cpu to the repair station in hp. THAT TOOK 15 DAYS! It is expose to be on my front porch in 2 days. The grapics card is a $115 dollar item that i do not want to return because it seems that it can improve my frames while playing my Video games. So if anybody could help me with this i would be very thankful. Just leave the steps down below in VERY discriptive words that a 14 year old would understand. Thank you. Lastly I know what the bios is and also how to get there. Thats is all, THANKS YOU I forgot to tell you. The BIGEST PROBLEM I HAD IS whenever i plugged in my graphics card it would show a black screen on my moniter as i would boot it Up. I need help getting that picture

Hi:
Did you change the required BIOS settings before you installed your new video card?
If not, please follow the instructions at the link below...
http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03653200
If that doesn't get the video card to work, unfortunately, I don't have any other suggestions for you to try.

Customer Exit not working - need help in diagnosing

Hi all,
I need some help in identifying a Customer Exit issue in our QA system.
Currently, in Dev I have a customer exit defined and everything works perfectly. However, the same code which was migrated to QA works fine when testing at the FM level but not when executing at the report level. I tried inserting a breakpoint and executing the report, however the breakpoint never populates. There seems to be a communication issue here. When executing the report the variable does not call the customer exit FM/program.
How do you diagnose this problem? Is this a BASIS issue?
I tried testing the query in RSRT and I run into the same issue of nothing happening. I tried deleting the variable and recreating with only the same results.
Is there a config or setting that is related to the customer exit functionality within BW?
Also, when transporting the customer exit code I did not migrate the FM along with the Include. Is there a proper way to migrate this?
Thanks,
DC

Thanks for your response.
I did double check the variable name to be exact. I think the issue maybe related to the project not being activated. I will update as I diagnose the problem.
Thanks

Windows 2012 Nodes - Slow CSV Performance - Need help to resolve my iSCSI issue configuration

I spent weeks going over the forums and the net for any publications and advice on how to optimize iSCSI connections and i'm about to give up. I really need some help in determining if its something i'm not configuring right or maybe its an equipment
issue.
Hardware:
2x Windows 2012 Hosts with 10 Nics (same NIC configuration) in a Failover Cluster sharing a CSV LUN.
3x NICs Teamed for Host/Live Migration (192.168.0.x)
2x NICS teamed for Hyper-V Switch 1 (192.168.0.x)
1x NIC teamed for Hyper-V Switch 2 (192.168.10.x)
4x NICs for iSCSI traffic (192.168.0.x, 192.168.10.x, 192.168.20.x 192.168.30.x)
Jumbo frames and flow control turned on all the NICs on the host. IpV6 disabled. Client for Microsoft Network, File/Printing Sharing Disabled on iSCSI NICs.
MPIO Least Queue selected. Round Robin gives me an error message saying "The parameter is incorrect. The round robin policy attempts to evenly distribute incoming requests to all processing paths. "
Netgear ReadyNas 3200
4x NICs for iSCSI traffic ((192.168.0.x, 192.168.10.x, 192.168.20.x 192.168.30.x)
Network Hardware:
Cisco 2960S managed switch - Flow control on, Spanning Tree on, Jumbo Frames at 9k - this is for the .0 subnet
Netgear unmanaged switch - Flow control on, Jumbo Frames at 9k - this is for .10 subnet
Netgear unmanaged switch - Flow control on, Jumbo Frames at 9k - this is for .20 subnet
Netgear unmanaged switch - Flow control on, Jumbo Frames at 9k - this is for .30 subnet
Host Configuration (things I tried turning on and off):
Autotuning
RSS
Chimney Offload
I have 8 VMs stored in the CSV. When try to load all 8 up at the same time, they bog down.  Each VM loads very slowly and when they eventually come up, most of the important services did not start. I have to load
them up 1 or 2 at a time. Even then the performance is nothing like if they were loading up on the Host itself (VHD stored on the host's hdd). This is what prompted me to add in more iSCSI connections to see if I can improve the VM's
performance.  Even with 4 iSCSI connections, I feel nothing has changed. The VMs still start up slowly and services do not load right. If I distribute the load with 4 VMs on Host 1 and 4 VMs on Host 2, the load up
times do not change.
As a manual test for file copy speed, I moved the cluster resources to Host 1 and copied a VM from the CSV and onto the Host.   The speed would start out around 250megs/sec and then eventually drop down to about 50/60 megs/sec. If I turn
off all iSCSI connections except one, it get the same speed. I can verify from the Windows Performance Tab under Task Manager that all the NICS are distributing traffic evenly, but something is just limiting the flow. Like what I stated on top,
I played around with autotuning, RSS and chimney offload and none of it makes a difference.
The VMs have been converted to VHDx and to fixed size. That did not help.
Is there something I'm not doing right? I am working with Netgear support and they are puzzled as well. The ReadyNas device should easily be able to handle it.
Please help! I pulled my hair out over this for the past two months and I'm about to give up and just ditch clustering all together and just run the VMs off the hosts themselves.
George

A few things...
For starters, I recommend opening a case with Microsoft support. They will be able to dig in and help you...
Turn on the CSV Cache, it will boost your performance
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/clustering/archive/2012/03/22/10286676.aspx
A file copy has no resemblance of the unbuffered I/O a VM does... so don't use that as a comparison, as you are comparing apples to oranges.
Do you see any I/O performance difference between the coordinator node and the non-coordinator nodes? Basically, see which node owns the cluster Physical Disk resource... measure the performance. Then move the Physical Disk resource for the
CSV volume to another node, and repeat the same measure of performance... then compare them.
Your IP addressing seems odd... you show multiple networks on 192.168.0.x and also on 192.168.10.x.   Remember that clustering only recognizes and uses 1 logical interface per IP subnet. I would triple check all your IP schemes...
to ensure they are all different logical networks.
Check you binding order
Make sure you NIC drivers and NIC firmware are updated
Make sure you don't have IPsec enabled, that will significantly impact your network performance
For the iSCSI Software Initiator, when you did your connection... make sure you didn't do a 'Quick Connect'... that will do a wildcard and connect over any network. You want to specify your dedicated iSCSI network
No idea what the performance capabilities of the ReadyNas is... this could all likely be associated with the shared storage.
What speed NIC's are you using?   I hope at least 10 GB...
Hope that helps...
Elden
Hi Elden,
2. CSV is turned on, I have 4GB dedicated from each host to it. With IOmeter running within the VMs, I do see the read speed jumped up 4-5x fold but the write speed stays the same (which according to the doc it should). But even with the read
speed that high, the VMs are not starting up quickly.
4. I do not see any difference with IO with coordinator and non coordinator nodes.
5. I'm not 100% sure what your saying about my IPs. Maybe if I list it out, you can help explain further.
Host 1 - 192.168.0.241 (Host/LM IP), Undefined IP on the 192.168.0.x network (Hyper-V Port 1), Undefined IP on the 192.168.10.x network (Hyper- V port 2), 192.168.0.220 (iSCSI 1), 192.168.10.10 (iSCSI2), 192.168.20.10(iSCSI 3), 192.168.30.10 (iSCSI 4)
The Hyper-V ports are undefined because the VMs themselves have static ips.
0.220 host NIC connects with the .231 NIC of the NAS
10.10 host NIC connects with the 10.100 NIC of the NAS
20.10 host NIC connects with the 20.100 NIC of the NAS
30.10 host NIC connects with the 30.100 NIC of the NAS
Host 2 - 192.168.0.245 (Host/LM IP), Undefined IP on the 192.168.0.x network (Hyper-V Port 1), Undefined IP on the 192.168.10.x network (Hyper- V port 2), 192.168.0.221 (iSCSI 1), 192.168.10.20 (iSCSI2), 192.168.20.20(iSCSI 3), 192.168.30.20 (iSCSI 4)
The Hyper-V ports are undefined because the VMs themselves have static ips.
0.221 host NIC connects with the .231 NIC of the NAS
10.20 host NIC connects with the 10.100 NIC of the NAS
20.20 host NIC connects with the 20.100 NIC of the NAS
30.20 host NIC connects with the 30.100 NIC of the NAS
6. Binding orders are all correct.
7. Nic drivers are all updated. Didn't check the firmware.
8. I do not know about IPSec...let me look into it.
9. I did not do quick connect, each iscsi connection is defined using a specific source ip and specific target ip.
These are all 1gigabit nics, which is the reason why I have so many NICs...otherwise there would be no reason for me to have 4 iscsi connections.

Need help in Payroll Tax Balance Issue - Urgent

Hi,
Please help me with the following Tax and Balance issue. The system is on 12.0.3, South African Legislation.
Issue : Salary has been restructured from Basic Salary to Total package structure in Dec 2008. Retro Pay was used to pay the difference amounts in Dec Run. But while configuring the new Elements for this Total Package they have missed out adding the Retro Elements to Proper Tax calculating Balances.
Eg : "TP Salary" element is fed to "Taxable Income RFI" balance but "TP Retro Salary" element is not fed to this balance.
So tax has not been calculated for those Retro amounts. This has been identified while validating test run for IRP5 tax certificates.
The Feb 09 (Feb is the Tax year End for payroll) Payroll was already run on 10th and payments were already done. Now we need to tax the retro amounts and retrieve the balance tax amounts from Employees.
I added the proper tax balances to those Retro elements and and the balances were adjusted to add the Retro amounts. Then I ran the Feb run the payroll again as of 20th, it did not recalculate the tax.
How to recalculate the tax so that correct tax reflects in the Tax certificates? Please help me with the necessary Info.
Thanks,
Sri.

Hi,
As I mentioned earlier, I added the appropriate balances which are used to calculate Tax to Retro Elements and those Balances got updated with the delta amount but Tax was not updated. I want to know is there any process provided by Oracle using which Tax for those already paid amounts can be recalculated.
I calculated the Tax manually and using Adjust Balance form added ZA_TAX_BALANCE_ADJUSTMENT Element and given the difference tax amount in PAYE and Tax Input values and saved the form. The Tax got updated.
Tax_ASG_RUN - 15000
Tax_ASG_TAX_YTD - 153257.32 (Prev - 138257.32). When I run the IRP5 (Tax Certificate Process) the tax is also getting correctly on it.
But client wants Oracle to calculate the Tax for those retro amounts so thats the challenge.
Could you help me with this.
Thanks,
Sri

Need help brainstorming a tricky IMAGE issue

Hi,
I've been trying to figure out a simple way around an issue, but as i simply cannot come up with an answer, i thought I'd put it out to the community to see if i can get some ideas back.
I'm putting a Mobile game together, and I'm still establishing the foundations of it. One element is the idea of having all creatures and character to be able to look different. To this end, my proposal is to have a set of various frames of say different creatures, and with other items (like armour and weapons) in matching poses. For example, You would have say a person running in 4 frames. For each frame, there is a matching set of clothes frames for each pose. One coule be normal clothes, and another armour so when the character is wearing normal clothes, the system would draw to the screen the naked character and then place the clothes over the top. Proper transparency (using the PNG alpha channel) makes this masking effect work as it should and it seems to work okay here.
Here is the problem. What i want to do is to be able to represent say, a hiding creature as being partially transparent wether through alpha blending or dithering. I have put an efficient class together than can quickly resize and recolour any image and draw it to the screen, and can also modify the transparency via either alpha blending or dithering. Here is the issue: This will NOT work when building the characters onto the screen! the problem if no-one notices here is lets say you then make the system draw the person at 50% opacity to the screen.Great, it works, but now we need to put the clothers on top so we draw THAT at 50% transparency. Uh-oh... Because the clothers are transparent, we get an artifact of the naked character shining through the clothers we just placed on top. So, the solution WOULD be simple: create an offscreen image for buffering, draw the character to it, then draw the results to the screen at 50% opacity... WRONG. The only Mutable off-screen image you can make is one filled with white pixels! Useless: we get an ugly white box around the character.
The only two solutions i can think of are the following:
1) Take a snapshot of the box around where we intend to draw the character. This should capture the background. We now build the character onto the screen as we normally would but if we want to make them transparent, we then paste the original background image over the top at a sertain opacity. I see problems with this being a) The design on the game is already very lean on memory requirements. I have built my own image handling classes that only load stuff when needed and discards it when no longer needed and also block wasteful reloading of images into memory, but having to always take a snapshot of a box around a character prior to drawing will slow it all down immensly.
2) the class i use for transformations, recolouring and resizing does so by copying the image data into an array and then manipulating it. I've designed it very well so that it only ever holds one image at a time and loading a new image into it uses the same array and thus, never creates a new array in memory and then relying on the Garbage collector to reclaim it. Using this, i could render the characters to it, and then draw it to screen but the problem as i see it is that this would be very processor intensive and would most likely slow the entire system down.
Naturally, the ideal solution is to draw to an offscreen image buffer and go from there, but i think the only way to do that is to use the BufferedImage which is on an API that isn't widely available (at least, it's not on my phone and it is pretty new). I need this to be as compatible as possible, so i don't want to access any optional API's i don't need to. I would prefer to be able to do this transparency trick, but if i can't, i guess i would have to find another way to represent a hiding character in the game (I guess a Black silouette).
Any help, hints or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Okay, imagine you have a character running. The whole purpose of my design idea is to have it so the characters look different based on the gear they are equipped with (+Image a common game like Neverwinter nights, or WoW. Your character looks different based on what they are equipped with and no, I am not trying to create a game of that scale on a Mobile phone+). Naturally, the character isn't a static figure, so they move, run, attack and so fourth. My plan is to have a set of character frames in all the different frames, and matching clothes and equipment frames matching each cell (+we KNOW where their arm will be in the 2nd frame of a run-right action, so we would position say, a shield in the right spot. A clever appraoch is to be taken here for example, a right handed person would weild their shield in their left hand, and if they are running right, the shield would appear behind them and would be facing out, so the system would draw it in the order of "Left_Hand_Item->Character_in_the_Nude->Clothes_for_the_Character->Right_Hand_Item". Simple mirroring can handle any left/right directions as the frames for running in the different directions are also mirrored+). Essentially, the look of the character would need to be built on a per-frame basis. I am hessitant to build all of the frames of the character in memory at load time as I have the following action factors:
- The character can face in 8 directions being all the diagonals, Vertical and horizontal directions.
- The character needs the following actions to be available: Running, Standing, Dying -> On the ground (+This also counts falling down or sleeping+), Attacking / Swinging, Ranged attacks (+bow and arrow+).
- To at least offer some kind or animateable look, there should be at least 2 frames for each action.
As you can see, there is quite a lot. The approach i have already taken is fairly powerful. I decided to scrap the Java Sprites as it couldn't do what i needed it to do so i created my own caching system. A special MAP file stores the information on all the frames, and another class retrieves this on demand from the file, but only takes certain chunks. A initial class manages file access and loads the entire image into memory, and another uses this class to extract the frame it wants. When the other class is finished, the file-opening class then drops the full file from memory and attempts to reclaim the used memory. So far, it works well. The reason i have taken this appraoch is there is just too much data to have it all laoded into memory, it has to be done on demand and store as little information as possible. If i can represent 5 different characters by using a combination of other frames, i should have excellent results. I am trying to find a good balance between memory consumption and CPU usage. So, in a long winded answer:
--There are a LOT of frames that may need to be transparent at any one time.
--The amount of memory I'll need is still in the air at this point. As i build it, I am keeping a hawk-like eye on memory consumption and watching for anything being wasted (+using boolean where possible, If i don't need the capacity of an int, i use byte instead, etc+). This incidently ran me into the strong desire to utilize unsigned values as i don't need negatives anywhere, but I will have to live with that wasted bit.
--I am aware that not all devices support Alpha blending which is why I also aim to support dithering. For example at 50% transparency, more than half the pixels are fully transparent (+Some may already be transparent, so we're not going to go and make them visible!)+
--The transparent character is used to represent a character that is hiding. For example, you may have an Ally character being stealthy, so to make sure YOU the player can still see them, but represent clearly that they are in a special state, i wanted them to be transparent. Also, if there is an enemy stealthing, but you have detected them. I need to be able to represent that they have indeed been detected and that they can be seen, but they are still trying to be stealthy. So yes, one substitute would be to make them entirely black pixels and maybe even just draw the naked character black without any armour or equipment as a stealthing character would assume reduced detail.

That panic was not caused by third-party software. If the problem is recurrent, the possibilities are:
A stale or corrupt kernel cache
A damaged OS X installation
A fault in a peripheral device, if any
Corrupt non-volatile memory (NVRAM)
An internal hardware fault (including incompatible memory)
An obscure bug in OS X
You may already have ruled out some of these.
Rule out #1 by booting in safe mode and then rebooting as usual. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
You can rule out #2 and #3 by reinstalling the OS and testing with non-essential peripherals disconnected and aftermarket expansion cards removed, if applicable. Sometimes a clean reinstallation (after erasing the startup volume) may solve a problem that isn't solved by reinstalling in place, without erasing.
Corrupt NVRAM, which rarely causes panics, can be ruled out by resetting it.
If your model has user-replaceable memory, and you've upgraded the memory modules, reinstall the original memory and see whether there's any improvement. Be careful not to touch the gold contacts. Clean them with a mild solvent such as rubbing alcohol. Aftermarket memory must exactly match the technical specifications for your model. Memory that is either slower or faster than specified may be incompatible.
The Apple Hardware Test, though generally unreliable, will sometimes detect a fault. A negative test can't be depended on. Run the extended version of the test.
In the category of obscure bugs, reports suggest that FileVault may trigger kernel traps under some unknown conditions. Most, though not all, of these reports seem to involve booting from an aftermarket SSD. If those conditions apply to you, try deactivating FileVault.
Connecting more than one display is another reported trigger for OS X bugs.
In rare cases, a malformed network packet from a defective router or other network device can cause panics. Such packets could also be sent deliberately by a skillful attacker. This possibility is something to consider if you run a public server that might be the target of such an attack.
If none of the above applies, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. You may have to leave it there for several days. There isn't much point in doing this unless you can reproduce the panic, or if you can't, it happens often enough that it's likely to be repeated at the store. Otherwise you may be told that nothing is wrong.
Print the first page of the panic report and bring it with you.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you know how to restore, and you have at least two independent backups.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

Need help on updating my graphics

Hi, Is there someone who can help me to resolve my graphics card update.. when i try to update my intel hd graphics on hp pavilion g4 1226se it cant, there is a pop up that says the driver of one or more cannot be installed and will exit... can somebody help me? my current version of driver is 8.15.10.2353... pls, if you can help me.. thanks..

Hi there ,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel. I understand that you are having trouble installing an updated driver for your graphics adapter. I am happy to help. What sort of error are you getting?Have you successfully downloaded the driver file to your local drive?Did you try uninstalling your existing driver first? If so was there an error? Please let me know.

Need help in diagnosing 1 long beep 2 short beeps

I know this usually means video card is bad. I need to know if disconnecting internal video cable on working system will give the same symptom to help isolate problem between display and video card
Solved!
Go to Solution.

not exactly sure; the 1long + 2short beep diagnostic is somewhat generic, it could be almost anything (on the mainboard, including GPU).
and Lenovo ThinkPad Beep Codes and ThinkWiki Beep Codes have conflicting information about the 1long/2short
you haven't said what machine, but assuming it's a T6x series, do you have it docked with an external video card? the onboard GPU is not socketed (it's soldered to the mainboard), so the only way to disable it (that i'm aware of) is via the BIOS (assuming an external video adapter in a dock is also available for further troubleshooting). i don't think that disconnecting the display panel (flat) cable is likely to help diagnose the problem, but while you're at it, you might want to make certain that it is seated/connected properly. i know that where the display cable connects to the socket on the back of the lcd panel is a tight fit, and the connecter itself locks into place (when mated). you've checked the lcd cable for damage and/or proper connectivity, i assume? what about external monitor to the VGA port... have you tried that? FN-F7 key presses may be necessary to toggle the video hardware b/w the internal/external displays.

Need help to create a graphics context

hi, i'm trying to draw some image (given by SubImage class) into another (given by MainImageClass ) where some other elements are displayed.
I've try :
public class MainImageClass extends JPanel {
      private Graphics2D myGraphicsContext;
      //image where i want to display "subImages"
      private BufferedImage myImage;
      public MainImageClass (args){
            //..inits args
            myImage = (java.awt.image.BufferedImage)createImage(xSize,ySize);
           myGraphicsContext = myImage.createGraphics();
   public void paint(Graphics g) {
           Graphics g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
           g2.drawImage(myImage,0,0,this);
   public void add(SubImage image) {
      //to paint the image in my component, SubImage have the paint(Graphics g) method
      image.paint(myGraphicsContext);
      myGraphicsContext.drawImage(imageZone,xPos,yPos,this);
}but myImage is not initialised and so i've a nullPointerExecption when running. How can i do to solve?

myImage = (java.awt.image.BufferedImage)createImage(xSize,ySize); Read the API for createImage:
The return value may be null if the component is not displayable.
The implication is that when the componnt's constructor is being executed, the component is not yet displayable.
If you want to create a BufferedImage compatible with your monitor, go the GraphicsEnvironment route:
GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
GraphicsDevice gd = ge.getDefaultScreenDevice();
GraphicsConfiguration gc = gd.getDefaultConfiguration();
BufferedImage image = gc.createCompatibleImage(w,h);By the way, there's no need to hold onto the BufferedImage's Graphics object. Call createGraphics
when you need it and dispose when you're done.

Need help in IP : no authorization issue

Hi,
subject: getting authorization error for multiprovider name in RSPLAN, but my role has that name in it.
i have created a planning sequence . the aggregation level is built on a mulitprovider which is built upon a realtime infocube.
i am able to execute the planning sequence from RSPLAN in development system and test system without any issues.
But in production system, getting "no authorization for multiprovider xxxx" error for RSPLAN -> infoprovider = xxxxx.
i have got one role created for this which has this xxxx mentioned in it and i have got that role also assigned .
even rssm checks for the multiprovider fine and i have necessary roles for it.
can anyone help?

Hi,
Please check the below link for authorization in BI-IP
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/43/fd53821d702ae4e10000000a422035/frameset.htm]
As you are getting error related to MP/Infocube, check if you have relevant Auth objects with your role:
1.S_RS_MPRO
2.S_RS_ICUBE
Just to be on safer side check other auth objects relevant to planning:
S_RS_ALVL
S_RS_PLSE
S_RS_PLSQ
S_RS_PLST
S_RS_PLENQ
Thanks

Need help with Low disk space issue and blue screen

Hi Everyone, just seen a message stating a low disk space on my Mac pro bought last November and tried plugging in an external hard drive to remove some pictures to free up some space but it seems that the computer did not have enough space left to start up and run the hard drive. I then tried to restart and ended up with a blue screen and have no knowledge now how to fix this problem. I phoned support but they say I have no technical support left but do have warranty and I would need to either try with the community here or take the unit to an apple store for an appointment. The store is an 1 and 1/2 from me and I really want o see if there is another fix that could allow me to start again then remove some files and then add external drive to remove more. I was blown away at the low amount of storage.....looked for the icloud option last night to upload there as i was told about this by a UK client of mine and now see it is not up and running. Any advice or help by the communtiy would be greatly appreciated as this is my business and travelling laptop. Cheers, Dean <")))><

Great to hear Dean, thanks!
Further notes: OSX needs about 15% or 10GB Free space minimum, but will run mucch faster/safer with 30-40% or 50GB of Free Space... Free Space is no longer ours to use.
Another tool to help clear up assorted things is Applejack...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

I need help with an email inbox issue

so basically I forgot my answers to my security questions, so I pressed "reset anwers....." And they said "email sent" but I waited to hours, days and didn't get that email! But I got an email from Apple about other stuff like opening iCloud and stuff, but I didnt get that email. And I did it like 100 times and turned off my phone, everything! And for paid apps it needs the answers to those questions and so does itunes. plz anyone help make my day?❤️❤️

If the email isn't in a spam filter, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
