Need help with brand new MSI Hawk 460GTX

I upgraded my card from an 8800GT to the 460GTX. I uninstalled the old drivers because it wouldn't POST, now it'll boot into safe mode, but starting normally my screen goes black between the Starting Windows and login screens. I still get audio, but no video. I know theres LED codes on the back of the GPU, but I can't seem to figure out what they mean. Right now the first 4 LEDs are on, but the last 2 are flickering.
setup:
Intel E8400 (3.0GHz) @ 3.6GHz
Zalman NVidia heat sink
Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3LR
4 x 1 GB OCZ HPC Reaper RAM DDR2 1066
WD 1TB hard drive (32mb cache)
Corsair TX750W power supply
MSI Hawk 460GTX
LG Superdrive DVD/CD RW drive
The only thing I can think of is starting the computer in safe mode and downloading the drivers for it before trying to boot normally.
edit: Also, I'm getting a moving mouse cursor on the black screen but no login.

Use Driver Sweeper to remove current VGA drivers in "Safe Mode":

Once done reboot and boot to normal windows mode,
then install latest drivers from:

    Hello Andrew,
    Was the reply I gave you in the other post you made of no help?
    I explained that Windows ME is not compatible, but you can get it work with a little messing around, and once again, here's a link on how to do it.

    As I said previously though, you won't be able to use iTunes.

  • Help with brand new IP Phone 7941G

    I have bought a brand new phone as above. I have it currently connected to a POE switch which is fine. It has power but it is constantly saying Configuring IP in the botttom left. I am not sure how to set the correct time and date or the correct time zone/location. I have been tralling the web for a few hours now and I would just like a step by step guide to configure my phone. Many thanks Charles

    As there's no version or mention if this is CUCM or CME, i'll go with CUCM 7.X
    You configure the timezone under:
    Date/Time Group Configuration
    Then you make reference to it in the Device Pool and assign the DP to the phone.

Then i've tried to just leave it like that, but doesnt help anything, and at somepoint i have to turn off the power by holding the powerbutton down. Then when I try to start it up again i get stuck in the gray loading screen... Read some posts about this, which to me to start it up from the disc, cant make this work. When its starting and the loading bar starts it runs for a while and then turns off the computer.

    First off your Macbook Pro is under Apple Care and they are obligated to fix it for ya.
    If you are skeptical to to boot from Disk and run Disk Utilities then you should call Apple for their assistance.

  • I need help with my new LG G2. I dial *611 but it will not recognize my phone number

    I am having trouble setting up my new LG G2. When I dial *611, it will not recognize my number, and the 800 number refers me back to the *611 number. There is no live chat available on the website, so I am lost. Is this any way to run customer support?

    It seems I am about the only G2 customer support you'll fund unfortunately.  Chat is available on the support site after logging in to My Verizon on the web, but you have to click on Contact Us at the top right of the page then choose Live Chat and then Help with My device and then look to the right and wait for the red dot to turn green.  *611 will take you to a screen where you can launch My Verizon or Click to Call which dials the customer support number. Unfortunately chat is about as useless as waiting for a rep to respond in the forums.  Calling is the only way to get started and work your way up the chain.  Going to a store is a hassle.  What exactly is the problem you're having?  You can't activate the phone or set up your Google accounts or what?

    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes (iTunes 7.0.2.16). To find the version of iTunes you have open iTunes, click Help, then About iTunes. If this does not work then follow the following instructions:
    For iTunes Technical support please call 1-800-APL-CARE
    or
    Another problem might be that your service pack of Windows 2000 is not the latest version (Windows 2000 Service Pack 4).
    I would recogmend getting Windows XP, many advantages over Windows 2000. Especially security and looks wise.

  • Hard Drive Crash - need help with choosing new drive and installation

    My hard drive seems to have crashed. My computer froze, and when I tried to reboot, it got stuck at the startup screen. I started from the system CD, ran the disk repair utility, and it said it could not repair the disk. I ran Tech Tool Pro and it could not repair the disk. I tried to start up in Target disk mode while connected to my older G4 iMac (that I'm using now as my backup), and the disk would not mount. So I need some expert advice - I am assuming the hard drive is toast. I wish I could at least mount it in target disk mode to transfer files, but I haven't been able to do that. I was going to take it in for repair (or possibly buy a new computer), but after reading some of the posts here, I am thinking I could just replace the internal hard drive with a 3.5" SATA drive.
    What I need to know is am I correct about this? And is this the right kind of drive for my iMac? Are there any specifications I need to be aware of when ordering a new drive? I downloaded the manual explaining how to replace the drive and it looks doable. I would appreciate any guidance as to choosing the new drive (specific brand names/models would be great), installing the drive, and tips for formatting, etc. Thanks in advance for your help!

    Welcome to Discussions - any 3 1/2" SATA drive will be fine, go to [macsales.com] or [smalldog.com] or [newegg.com] and choose whichever drive fits your wallet. Most of them are reliable, I have heard of problems with Seagate and Hitachi, but there are always some failures with any brand. Make sure to get a good warranty.Instructions will come with the drive, but you can download them from [Apple|http://www.apple.com/support/manuals/imac> as well.

  • Need Help with ESATA on MSI P35 Neo2-FR

    I have the MSI P35 Neo2-FR motherboard http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=&cat3_no=&prod_no=1261 and trying to get the eternal ESATA to work.  It works with one individual HD.  I'm using an external ESATA drive with 3 HD inside the external case with one cable running into the external ESATA in the back of the motherboard.  It's only recognizing 1 drive and the other 2 isn't showing up.  If I switch it to USB connection it will read all 3 drives.  I'm running windows 7 x64 but it recognize on my other 2 computers with a different motherboard. I have install it with the ACHI setup in Bios and I've also install the Matrix Storage Controller after installation.  I never install the Intel ICH9R SATA RAID driver where you have to press the F6 to install it.  Is that what I'm missing and is taht needed for the ESATA to work?    I'm getting this message "A storage device was connected. If this device is a port multiplier, only port 0 of the port multiplier will be active." Been googling all day and still can't figure out what I'm missing.
    Any help would greatly be appreciated.

    Quote
    For some reason this board is Bios only have IDE, RAID and ACHI and I don't see a SATA.
    IDE, RAID and AHCI are operating modes of the SATA Controller.  Everything okay here.
    Quote
    Seems to me it's either this board and it's driver don't let you use the port multiplier but it suppose to support port multiplier.
    It is neither the board, nor is it the driver.  It is a limitation of the Intel ICH9R Chipset.  You will have the same problem on all P35/ICH9R based mainboards.  Read here:

    Unfortunately, used in the south bridges ICH9R the version of such technology provides access only to one hard disk at the specific moment of time. . The technology became more complex to realize , which implies to several access disks simultaneously, possesses higher cost and more higher central processor loads , therefore it can be rejected.

  • Need help with using new ipod as hard drive. please!

    Hi. Has anyone had any problems using the ipod as a hard drive between two systems? I have an old 4th generation ipod which I used on my PC. That ipod worked great between macs and pcs as a hard drive. But recently it is completely screwed up. Anyway, I got a new Mac book pro and a 5th generation 60gb ipod.
    Now, I'm trying to get some stuff off my pc and transfer it into my mac. In my pc it comes up in "my computer" but keeps asking me to format the hard drive whenever I do the drag and drop of files into it. I've already formatted it for my mac, but haven't put anything on it yet. So I guess I could just do that for the transfer and reformat it for the mac and then put my music on it.
    I just want to know, it worked so well between mac and pc as a hard drive when originally formatted for my pc. will it not work the other way around? Will I have to keep reformatting it for the pc every time and then lose any information and all my music if I want to use it in that way? Or is there something I'm doing wrong? I would really appreciate any help at all that anyone could give me. Who really needs a 60gb anyway, if not to be able to transfer files back and forth between home and work, right?
    Dell Dimension 4400/MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   Windows XP on the PC

    Thank you for your reply. It cleared up a lot of confusion for me. But I have one more question.
    See, I looked both of those software applications up, and it seems those are to be installed on the windows operating system. My plan is to eventually stop using my PC and give it away to goodwill, however, for work purposes- which is freelance- I'd need to use the ipod as a nice small portable hard drive- I'm a photographer, and work with big files, so I need the larger space that a flash drive can't give me.
    So, is there any type of mac formatting on the ipod that can also be read by the pc? Or is there a 3rd party software that can be installed on the ipod that will enable it to be read on the pc and mac while retaining its mac formatting?
    If not I guess I'll just have to go back to the old and extremely inconvenient way of doing things. I really wish mac would have mentioned these things before in all their descriptions.

  • Need help with workflow: New iMac with SSD & HDD and Pegasus Promise

    Hello everyone! I've decided to upgrade my iMac and ordered an i7 with the SSD and HDD drive configuration as well as the Pegasus Promise 12TB drive. I've been researching as to what's the best way to manage both the SSD and HDD drives and I really haven't seen an end-all answer. Now with the purchase of the Pegasus Promise, I'm more confused as to what's the best approach to take. Here are my thoughts:
    1. Use the SSD as the boot and application drive and the HDD for the users folder.
    2. Use the SSD as the boot and application drive, the HDD for the users folder, and photos and pics onto the Pegasus.
    3. Use the SSD as the boot and application drive, the Pegasus for the users folder, and the HDD for ???
    4. Just use the Pegasus drive as the boot drive and use it for everything. (being that it's a RAID drive, then all my files are backed-up already)
    Majority of my space-filling files are my iTunes folder, tons of pictures from using Aperture, and iMovie for videos.
    Thanks in advance for everyone's input and help!

    I'm working on a similar premise.  i7, SSD, HDD, Promise raid, etc.
    I'm nowhere near as savvy as a lot of the people here, but after a lot of research I decided that focusing on how the Pegasus gets configured is the most important for me.  My concerns are for a business in photography, btw.
    I can't budget the 12TB unit so I'm trying to make the most of either the R4-8tb or th R6-6tb.
    I'm planning to launch the applications from the SSD.  I will use the Mac HDD for typical non-photographic files, iTunes (mine's not so big), and standard fair.  This is all backed up via Time Machine to a 3TB Western Digital MyBook for the time being. 
    As for the Pegasus, I believe I've settled on: taking an R6-6tb unit, placing the 6th drive in my firesafe from the moment I get it.  Configuring the remaining 5 drives in a level 5 setup.  Leaves me 4TB to get started and buys me a few succesful quarters to plan on daisy chaining another unit when memory is needed.  This way, I may not have maximum possible drive space, but I've got a replacement drive on the ready should I experience a drive-failure.  Then, I'm not sitting on pins and needles while I await a replacement; they'll simply be shipping me a new "spare".
    I still need to actually speak to someone @ Promise to make sure this will work, as I stated: I"m learning as I go here.  If this is an acceptable Raid setup, you would have 8TB available to you.
    Personally, I am far more comfortable running systems in series and building the size as I go (to a point) than putting so much data in a single array.
    [Edit] The raid bay is mainly for the Lightroom catalog, and I use standard external drives to store redundant backups off-site (1TB at a time).

  • Need Help With My New 30-inch Diplay

    I just got myself the 30-inch display couple days ago... but now I am having a VERY hard time fiding a video card for it. I have one of the first generation G5's (Dual 2.0Ghz) I believe it has the 9600 64MB in it right now (what it came with) I have found a few cards that claim to work (NVIDIA 6800 Ultra and Radeon 9600 Pro) Will these work? I also found a Radeon 9650 but I saw that one website claimed it needed Mac OS X 10.4.. is this true? I'm running 10.3.9. The Radeon 9650 also seems MUCH cheaper so I would prefer that too. Any suggestions and help would be great, thanks!!!

  • Need help with my new n97

    Hello, I've been lucky enough to get my hands on a new N97.
    It's been working great (a bit glitchy right now but that's to be expected).
    Maps were working fine until I uploaded all the stuff from my N96 to my N97 using the pc suite backup programme.
    Now maps don't work.
    On my N96 I was using maps 3.0 beta and I guess that has something to do with the malfunction.
    The message that comes up when I boot the maps application after 30% download is this...
    Cannot install application. Install latest version from Nokia/maps.com
    I have tried downloading maps 2.0 from the site. It says my phone isn't supported. So I just say it's an n96 and download. This isn't helping. Exactly the same result.
    I have restored factory settings twice now. But to no avail.
    My n97 simply wont run the maps 2.0 application.
    Does anyone know if this has anything to do with the dump from my n96 which had maps 3.0 on it?
    And if so, why is it still not working after I reverted to factory settings.
    Most grateful for any help and advice.

    also if you need any assistance in the future, we have a whole maps section on these boards

  • Help with brand new battery

    Hello, My birthday is Feb. 20. Because I recently got an iBook with a dead battery, I thought I would treat myself and get a new battery for my iBook. Well, I have had it in my iBook for about 5 days and it worked fine. But the other day, I powered up my iBook, and the battery was at 97%. It said it was running on AC power, but the charging light was still orange. It also said it was fully charged at 97%. How could this be? It's only a few days old. Please help me fix this problem. Thanks.
    P.S I let it run on battery power for a while, I got it down to about 95%. Then I plugged it in. It said it was fully charged. Why is this happening?

    Hi Carmen
    Does the charger ever turn green? I wonder if the charger is working properly and was the cause of the flat battery previously.
    If you think the charger is OK, then you may need to reset the PMU.
    Ronda Wilson explains how to do this:
    • If the computer is on, turn it off.
    • Reset the power manager by simultaneously pressing and then releasing Shift-Control-Option-Power on the keyboard. Do not press the fn (Function) key while using this combination of keystrokes.
    • Wait 5 seconds.
    • Press the Power button to restart the iBook computer.
    Some people have reported that they needed to repeat the procedure multiple times for it to work.
    Check that Resetting the PMU is the coreect method for your particular computer by looking at this link:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449
    However before you do this try and verify that the charger is working properly, as that could be the problem. Perhaps you could borrow a friend's charger if possible and see if your battery can be charged up by it.

  • I need help with the new update

    I am at a complete loss on what to do. I have been trying to install the new update but it keeps bringing up an error. I have searched on here for some solutions and I believe I am not doing this right. I have uninstalled all the items everyone has suggested (ex. Bonjour...) and rebooted. I went and downloaded iTunes again but two things keep happening:
    1. While the iTunes Setup is installing and pop-up box says "Object already exists" and this pops up multiple times
    and
    2. After those messages go away another pop up says "iTunes Installer completed - Errorc occurred during installation before iTunes could be configured. Your system has not been modified. To complete the installation, run the installer again."
    What am I doing wrong here? Can someone please help me? I have a Windows 7 laptop.

    For "Object already exists" or "Access denied" errors when installing try opening Control Panel > Programs and Features > View installed updates then checking for Security Update for Microsoft Windows (KB2918614). Uninstall if you have it, then reboot, and try installing iTunes again.
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
