Need help with new build. Possible gpu problem?

MSI 970a-g45 board. This is my second build with the same board, but i am using a different GPU this time and i am unable to get the signal to the monitor. my psu is an OCZ ModXStream Pro Power Supply - 500-Watt and the specs are as follows. Wattage    500W
SLI/Crossfire    SLI Ready
Energy Efficiency    80 PLUS
Fan    140 mm
+3.3V    25 A
+5V    25 A
+12V 1    18 A
+12V 2    18 A
-12V    0.3 A
+5VSB    2.5 A
my gpu is an MSI N440GT-MD1GD3/LP
RAM corsair Vengeance 1600mhz 8 gigs
cpu AMD fx 4100 3.6 ghz, quad core
the only difference in this build from my last is the gpu. so its making me think something wrong with it..
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Need Help With New Build, Please

Ok, built a new PC. Here are the parts:
MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum
XFX Geforce 6800GT
Seagate 160 Gig w/ NCQ
1 Gig (512x2) Corsair value memory 3200
PC Power and Cooling 470 Watt Silencer w/ Y PCI-express adapter
Athlon 3500+ (Clawhammer, says Newegg)
Lian-Li V-1100 (black)
My problem: 99.7% sure all cables are connected properly.
All lights and fans come on, drives open and close, but no video signal.
D-Bracket indicates the boot sequence is stuck on "processor initialization".
Things I've tried:
Swapped out the motherboard for an Asus A8N-SLI, same problem.
Reset CMOS on both: same problem, obviously not a motherboard issue.
Built w/ just CPU, GPU, and Memory on a towel, not a grounding issue.
Tried swapping out DIMMS one at a time in primary slot, same problem with both.
Yes, both 24-pin connectors and 12v 4-pin connector are hooked up.
Where I am now:
It's not the motherboard, or memory (unless both DIMMS are bad).
Based on the D-bracket LEDs, I assume it was the processor. I've sent the processor back to Newegg for a new one.
If that's not it, that leaves the PSU, the GPU, and/or the way I've got the y-adapter running to the GPU via two molex.
If the processor comes back and it doesn't work, I'll probably buy a cheap PCI card from newegg to see if it's a GPU problem. And/or I'll try a new PSU with a native 6-pin PCI-Express power connector.
Does anyone see any common compatibility problems with the K8N Neo4 Platinum and the parts I've selected, and/or does anyone have any other suggestions?
It's very depressing to have all this gear sitting around and be unable to power up Half-Life 2. :( Any help would be appreciated.

Most likely RAM is your problem. Reset bios and try new memory.
Tom
Possible, but as mentioned, the LED bracket indicates it makes it completely through POST without the video-card, and I've tried alternating each DIMM, one at a time, in the primary slot. Unless both sticks are bad (wonder what the statistical chance of that is), it's not memory.
Though I'll try swapping out both as a last resort if the GPU switch doesn't work.

Need help with new 8310

Just upgraded from earlier blackberry and have two problems I need help with!
First, in rearranging the icons my browser icon disappeared and I can't get it back even when I use the show all function. Any ideas?
Second, unlike my earlier blackberry, messages I sent from my office laptop are not appearing in my messages. What setting do I need to tweak? I like my blackberry to show all the messages sent from or received by the laptop.
Thanks.
Lauren

My BB setting was to not hide sent messages, but the problem I think has to do with the settings on syncing with my computer. Messages I send from the blackberry show up as sent - but I want the BB to match completely with the email on my computer - show every email received and every email sent. That was how the old BB was set up. Any ideas on what else to tweak either on the desktop or the BB? Thanks for your help.

Need help with expression builder issue

Hi all
I'm hoping someone can help with an issue I'm having. I'm creating a database for a manufacturing joinery. For 1 of my forms, Ive to create a despatch form which includes order details along with customer details. Some customers can have contracts in which
they get a fixed price on certain item. This is where the problem lies.
For my customers table, I have a field called "On contract" which is a Yes/No field. I've created a query to attempt to make this form. I'm having trouble with adding a total column at the end of this query. Quantity,Unit Price, Contract Price
are also in the query. I've been trying to build an expression to say like;
iif [on contract] = "Yes", [Quantity] * [Contract Price]
iif [on contract] = "no", [Quantity] * [Unit Price]
It obviously wont work, what am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Assuming you are using the database is SQL Server:
SELECT [CustomerID]
,[Quantity]
,[Unit Price]
,[Contract Price]
,[Total] = CASE WHEN [On Contract] = 'Yes' THEN [Quantity] * [Contract Price]
WHEN [On Contract] = 'No' THEN [Quantity] * [Unit Price] END
FROM [Customers]
Modify the SQL to suit your need.
Hope this helps.

Need help with new Time Capsule/Airport express setup!

I just hooked up a 500g time capsule to replace an airport extreme, and now my airport utility on my MacbookPro Retina no longer recognizes the airport expresses I had on my network for airplay purposes. Can anyone help with this issue?

Instead of a switch you need a wireless router, because your modem will only assign one public ip address to the switch and that ip address will be forwarded to any one computer at a given time...You should replace the switch with a wireless router and it should resolve your concern...

Need Help with new site glitches PLEASE!!!

I need help trouble shooting a website. The site is
www.farrowandwatkins.com. Nav buttons on Mac they display correctly
which is aligned at top and bottom of content to left on Home page.
However, when viewed on PC, the buttons spread to fill the
distance of the "Patients" Page. All the pages spread to this
length also, but are not suppose to.
Nav buttons have padding of 10 on bottom, except last one.
Please help if you can

First guess would be that there doesn't seem to be a fixed
height or width on the cell for the 'patients' button.

Need help with new email problem

Hi friends . . . I'm not sure if this is a forum that could help me figure out my new problem . . . but I'll give it a try. . .I need some help . . . My email is sometimes being sent to the wrong address. Instead of my Yahoo address, they're sent to AOL instead. At first I thought this was an eBay or Paypal problem, but other mail that I subscribe to is all of a sudden going to AOL instead of my Yahoo address . . .In all of these cases, the AOL address was never registered with the site. I'm not using an external POP mail program . . . just standard Yahoo mail with iMac and Firefox. Anyone have any clue what's going on . . . .thanks in advance for any help . . .

Need help with PC build for use with Photoshop CS4 Extended - Have I made the right choices?

Hello,
I'm very new to the inner workings of a PC...this will be first time building one from scratch. I know enough to be dangerous but not enough to be confident. I will use the PC primarily for editing, secondarily for iTunes management. I've heard that I should have, at the very least, an SSD for PS, other apps and the O/S. I'll also have a hard drive for data storage. Do I need yet another SSD for scratch? If so, any recs for one? Also, my current build (which does not include any SSDs) is about $800. What can I skinny down, without sacrificing a huge amount of speed/performance? I am looking for major guidance here...I'm ready to order, but I keep second-guessing my choices. I want to make sure I get this right the first time around. I want this machine to last me a good long while. Any help at all will be HUGELY appreciated!

Make sure the motherboard is the third revision as the earlier two had problems with the i5-2500K (Sandy Bridge)
I prefer Asus motherboards but doesn't mean the Gigabyte is a problem. (I note that it scored 4 eggs...)
May not make a difference in Photoshop but for Premiere the Geforce video cards with GDDR5 are preferred.
The LiteOn iHas 224 does lightscribe which is a nice touch for clients/gifts.
There is no room to save as I would consider your build minimum specs for a nice photoshop experience.
As for SSD drives...my research of reviews and articles makes me feel the technology is not ready for mission critical work. So if you are running a business then I recommend not using SSD drives. Rather look at Raptor 10,000 rpm drive for Windows and Photoshop and use the Spinpoint for storage. If not business then I've read the intel x25 SSD drives are solid but I have no personal experience with them.
Cheers,
Steve

Need help with new Mac Pro (2012)

Hi for everyone!
Few days ago, I bought a new Mac Pro (Mid 2012) MD770LL/A for my recording studio. The workstation is really powerfull and silent, but it has one major problem for me: computer comes with pre-installed Mac OS X 10.7.3 Lion, and as I understand, I can't install Mac OS X 10.6.8 on this machine. In this case, some plug-ins and instruments, that critical for my works are unavailable for me now. For example - MusicLab RealGuitar and RealLPC thru the VST to RTAS adapter (I'm using Pro Tools in my studio) don't working correctly on a Lion OSX. Unfortunately, I can't find any solution, to fix it... Even on an official support website of that software developers. Secondary, I still need Rosetta for some applications.
In that situation, my studio can't fully work.
So, what I should do??? WHY is officialy impossible to install Mac OS X 10.6.8 on a new Mac Pro, if its components is absolutely identic with Mac Pro 2010, that supported Mac OS X Snow Leo???
Thanks!
With a big hope for a help!
Alexey

Hi!
Good news for anyone, who wants to install Mac OS X 10.6.x on a Mac Pro 2012!!!
As it turned out, the original installation DVD disc from the Mac Pro 2010, fully compatible with Mac Pro 2012! The images of DVD is quite possible to find on the Internet. Just checked on my system - boot from the fresh-burned disc, and Mac OS X 10.6.4 installed without problems! After that, updated to 10.6.8 - and it works!
Personally for me - it is great news!
Everyone have a nice day! Thanks!:-)

Need help with Rollover Image cross browser problem

Hello,
I am having a cross browser problem with my websites rollover nav links. The trouble is, while they work perfectly fine in IE8 and IE9, I’ve also attempted to use them through Opera, and they simply don’t work. They don’t link nor do they do their rollover effect. And I was trying to figure out what I have done wrong. Currently the site is not completed, but the first two pages are, the “news” and “about me” pages are currently (as of right now) working. The address to the site is below.
http://maxmetal.xsustudios.com/index.html
I hope that someone can help me with this, if needs be I can put the code for the CSS and HTML into this part if it will save some time for everyone. Sorry too about the PNG images, I have to change those over to semi-transparent GIF’s yet so the site does take a while to load…
Hope someone can help me with this!

When I disable CSS in my browser, the rollover buttons work just fine. This tells me your CSS is messed up and you've layered something over your menus which is making them inaccessible to users.
I noticed you've applied relative positioning to just about everything on your page. Why?   Default CSS positioning (unspecified or static) is all you need for 98% of layouts.

Need help with new SoundBlaster ROAR SR20 or it goes to the trash. [Bluetooth]

Hey Guys, I just recently purchased a the Sound Blaster ROAR SR20 and even after 2 days of owning it and countless searches for help, I've come to no conclusion of why i cant get my laptop to recognize it [Bluetooth] and allow me to download any drivers for it. I have tried Connecting it VIA USB 3.0 whereas the drivers said they were successfully installed [and it works over USB] but when i attempt to re-connect via Bluetooth it shows that 3 separate Bluetooth Peripheral Device Drivers are needed and not installed. I am currently running Windows 7 (64x) Professional and have tried already using this method but with no luck.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2654568
Attached [hopefully] is a image/screenshot file of the drivers it is showing errors for.

Another option is to use this bluetooth transmitter with your laptop. Let me know how it goes and I can make further suggestions based on the outcome.

Ok so i purchased a aptX enabled dongle, installed the drivers from a mini CD, and now when i connect using the CSR 4.0 Bluetooth driver that now shows up on my taskbar, a pop up displays saying that Im now connected to an aptX enabled device.
Now my problem is that under properties (when selected for playback) i notice that now my advanced settings are drastically...well...crappier. Meaning that the Default Format sampling rate is Locked at 1 Channel, 16 bit, 8000Hz which is telephone quality, and it sounds like telephone quality.
However when connect using my built in Bluetooth adapter my Default Format sampling rate is 2 Channel, 16 bit, 44100Hz which is CD quality and i have the option only one other selection....2 Channel, 16 bit, 48000Hz which is DVD quality.
One would think that the so called legendary aptX codec would allow for a higher sample rate so I am wondering if this is user error or perhaps i have an outdated driver (a problem since CSR updates/drivers are no where to be found on the internet)
Im Hoping that maybe you can help me resolve this issue since Ive hopefully narrow down the list of possible errors
Hope to hear back from someone soon
Thanks,
-Will Champion
