Need serious help with K7N2 Delta!!!

I just finished building a PC, and no problems had cropped up until my last reboot. I shutdown simply to take a look at a fan controller, but I didn't mess with any wires or anything; I simply looked at it for a sec. Anyway, when I tried to reboot, it wouldn't do it and it still won't.
It takes about 5 minutes to "Detect IDE drives ...", but eventually detects them all correctly before moving to the next screen... >>
Right now it's stalled at:
Verifying DMI Pool Data ...................
Boot from CD :
Boot from CD :
NVIDIA Boot Agent...blah, blah, blah
PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
PXE-M0F: Exiting NVIDIA Boot Agent.
DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER
Anyway, I already have WinXP Home installed on it, with tons of progs set up and other stuff worked out. It was pretty much finished except for a few little things I wanted to do to custimize it. I've checked all the cables inside numerous times, and I still can't figure out what is going on.  I've check all cables, jumpers, wires--everything about a hundred times, and even tried to boot from CD only, HDD only...etc...
Any help would be really appreciated!!!
Stats: MSI mobo, AMD XP2400 CPU, 512MB DDR333 RAM, 80GB WD HDD, ABIT Videocard (64MB DDR), Lite-On 52x CD-R, Lite-On 16X DVD, Sony Floppy Enermax 350w PSU

Geez this is getting frustrating. I found the problem and now I am having another.
The problem appears to be my CD-ROM. I had a CD-ROM and CD-RW on the same IDE channel. As soon as I unplugged the CD-ROM, the problem went away. I can not use the second CD-ROM no matter what IDE channel (1 or 2) or position (Master or Slave). I tried a different CD-ROM drive and it still causes the same problem. Ok, I can live without the drive for now.
Now I go to reformat my hard drive and I keeping getting a blue screen saying my Bios is not fully ACPI compliant. I flashed up to 5.6. I tried the trick of hitting F5 when Windows set-up asks for SCSI drivers and then selecting ACPI Uniprocessor. That doesn't work.
Arghhh!!!
What the hell do I got to do to get this thing to work!!!!

    Thanks Bruce

    Bruce: I have the same Delta-L motherboard and it is picky about the Ram. I used Crucial 2 512 sticks 400 and they are in slots 1 and 3. Is it maybe the power supply is a little weak? Seems they like 400 or better PSU.

  • Help with K7N2 Delta + Barton 2500+

    Last night I changed my BIOS to 11x210, everything was working fine at 11x200, but now my machine will not boot up, the D-Bracket on my MSI K7N2 Delta shows that there is a problem with the RAM, but the RAM was working fine and after leaving the machine off for sometime it begins to boot up.
    You can hear the drives spin up, the the Graphics card doesn't seem to kick in and the monitor LED remains on Amber.
    I have tried clearing the CMOS with the JBT1 jumper but it doesn't seem to clear, I also removed the CR2032 battery but that also didn't work.
    Please Help
    More information is available

    read the book it eally does help J 10 will force pc into 100 fsb mode
    then you can set it back to 200 and put the jumper back in user mode
    only move the jumper with the pc off and mains power disconnnected

    For video the TI4600 would be fine and is more reasonably prices. As far as RAM Kingston is not on the approved list, like I said it may work fine or you may have problems depending on the chipset, but no matter what type of RAM you buy you definetly want to buy 2 X 256MHz so you can run dual channel.

  • Need serious help with my Zen Microphoto

    My Zen Microphoto controls are messed up. evrytime i try to use the vertical pad it actually forwards me to the next song. When i press back to return to the previous menu, instead of doing that it played music that i did not even select?
    I REALLY need some help here!!! Its a new Zen Microphoto bought only for a month....

    What did you do to control the senstivity of the touchpad. Do you set it to low or med or high I tried all, it is very upsetting not to be able to master something as simple as this. I love the player I just got it yesterday the sound is beautifull although I accidently had it turn to high when it started to play.

  • I need serious help with my nano!!

    So I was running the lastest iPod updater tool from Apple and I hit restore. The line went all the way then it said factory settings have been restored, although both the restore and update buttons were blacked out in the updater tool. The iPod never restarted like its supposed to when you restore it, it just kept on blinking do not disconnect. So I held down menu and the center button to manually restart it. It restarted in black and while blinking do not disconnect. The iPod updater program froze. I went to my computer and it said something like "Removable device" instead of "Andrew's iPod" and I clicked on it and it said it had to be formated. I hit no and then clicked "safely disconnect" and safely disconnected the iPod. I unplugged it and it showed a check mark saying "ok to disconnect". So then I disconnected to cable and it showed some battery ion then shut off. That makes no sense because it had been sharging for hours prior to this. Now when I plug it in it doesn't do anything. Nothing shows up on the iPod and I hit every button and nothing happens. The computer doesn't recognize anything. I need some help big time.

    figured it out myself

  • Need serious help with JSP + JDBC/Database connection

    Hey all,
    I have to build an assignment using JSP pages. I am still pretty new and only learning through trial and error. I understand a bit now, and I have managed to get a bit done for it.
    I am having the most trouble with a Login Screen. The requirements are that the a form in a webpage has Username/Number and Password, the user clicks Login, and thats about it. The values for the username/number and password NEED to come from the database and I cannot manage to do this. The thing I have done is basically hardcode the values into the SQL statement in the .jsp file. This works, but only for that one user.
    I need it so it checks the username/number and password entered by the user, checks the database to see if they are in it, and if so, give access. I seriously am stuck and have no idea on what to do.
    I dont even know if I have made these JSP pages correct for starters, I can send them out if someone is willing to look/help.
    I have setup 3 other forms required for the assignment and they are reading data from the db and displaying within tables, I need to do this with non-hardcoded values aswell. Im pretty sure I need to use for example 'SELECT .... FROM .... WHERE username= +usrnm' (a variable instead of username="john" , this is hardcoded), I just CANNOT figure out how to go about it.
    Its hard to explain through here so I hope I gave enough info. A friend of mine gave some psuedocode i should use to make it, it seems ok to follow, its just I do not know enough to do it. He suggested:
    get the username and pass from the env vars
    open the db
    make an sql (eg SELECT user, pass FROM users WHERE user = envuser)
    index.jsp points to login.jsp
    login.jsp get the vars you put into index.jsp
    opened the db
    is the query returns nothing - then the user is wrong
    OR if the passwords dont match
    - redirect back to index.jsp
    if it does match
    - set up a session
    - redirect to mainmenu.jsp
    Anyway, thanks for any help you can give.
    -Aaron

    Hi,

    I didn't check the code that I wrote. So you may have to fix some part of it. Also this may not be the best solution, but it will help you to understand the process easily.
    The more efficient method is to check whether the result set returned from the database is null or not.... I hope you got the idea... Good luck!

  • Need serious help with quicktime for windows. PLEASE HELP!!! : (

    So i had quicktime on my windows program list and have had it since i bought the computer back in 08' well i got it back from a pawn shop after being down on my luck and they wiped everything out. ever since then i have been uploading pics and videos from my digital camera and the pics are fine but alot of the vids that i have put on here cannot be viewed and when i try to watch them i get an error message saying i need the latest version of quicktime. so i have tried uninstalling it after many failed update attemtps and i cannot get it to uninstall i have tried everything imaginable, from windows utility cleanup to removing it in add/remove programs to just deleting the files in the program list folder. Nothing. i get a prompt saying "the feature you are trying to use is on a resource that is unavailable." and then it goes on to say.. "Click ok to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'quicktime.msi' in the box below." and it already has two diffrent paths located in the entry box and i have tried them both and it keeps giving me the same message as i posted above. i am so lost and it dont help that i dont really know a whole lot about computers. i am stuck between a rock and a hard place.any input would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

    Unfortunately, these sorts of msi-related troubles have gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing QuickTime again. Does the install go through properly this time?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • I NEED SERIOUS HELP WITH THIS, i cant even USE my ipod, whatsoever....

    I just got a new IPOD classic 80 GB for my birthday. I needed to update my itunes. Keep in mind, i had 7.3 before trying to update. So its downloaded, and as i start the process....not even 4 seconds in a screen comes up saying
    "Another Installation is in progress. You must complete that one before contuining this one" along with a screen saying "MsiExec.exe has encountered a problem...". i've restarted my computer, uninstalled my itunes thinking that may have been causing the problem. i have no idea what program i need to install or is in the process already! the only thing i think i possibly need to register my ipod. this has been happening for about 2 hours and i'd really like some advice in solving the issue.

    Registering your iPod just puts you in the Apple systems for tech support, etc. So it doesn't really change anything with your computer.
    What I'd recommend, though is to completely uninstall all the software and reinstall like in this article. But if that doesn't work, I find that installing through another user account can usually resolve the issue for me (since it actually installs systemwide instead of just user specific).
    I hope I was helpful,

  • Need serious help with rendering small files

    Okay so I have adobe after effects cc 2014 watched and spent probably over 30 hours watching tutorials and trying to render videos and everything is 10gb plus i feel like this is a joke seeing as everyone else i know is rendering 200mb by doing exactly what im doing in the same program.
    Wasting my time & money here and starting to lose my mind please can someone help!

    Basic Workflow
    Watch the last video on rendering using the Adobe Media Encoder. That's the best tool to create a deliverable product. You can also use AME to create Digital Intermediates with production quality lossless or nearly lossless 10 bit or better codecs. Rendering is a very important part of making any video with any program and it's important that you at least understand the basics of Compression and MPEG (h.264) streams. The Vimeo or YouTube presets will work for just about any delivery system.
    Type "rendering" in the Search Help field at the top right corner of After Effects and go through the resources you find there. I've been using AE since it was being developed by COSA and have been part of the development teams on plug-ins and even I use this new Search Help field all the time. Don't forget to use it.

  • Need serious help with Vienna Soundfont studio

    Hi there,
    I am fairly new to the program, and would like to ask if anyone knows his/her way around my problem.
    My intention is, playing a (percussi've) midi note via a program called 'guitar pro'.
    This is no problem when I open an existing SF2 file in Vienna, but when I try to create my own virtual drumkit (-from hell by East West/Quantum Leap), things get screwy:
    I managed to let Vienna load the current soundbank, but I wish to replace the samples in that soundbank with the ones from drumkit from hell.
    The thing is that at one time, I could hear that tight triggered bass drum sound which I had imported in the current soundbank, on note 35, but I tried and tried, and I'm really stuck here...
    could anyone please help me?
    X-Fi Elite pro.
    Guitar pro 5.
    Vienna soundfont studio 2.4
    Drumkit from hell.

    Well I hate the StringTokenizer I don't know why... but..
    your while loop will loop through all three lines reassigning those two ints so you will only get the day/time of the last line.
    I would return true if the day is available.
    The way you are doing your return seems wrong you should only return false when you have an already booked date. In other words keep it all in the loop except put a return true after the loop because that means the date is not booked.

    I got a replacement Leopard DVD today from Apple, I lost original.

    you have to give people time to respond. Posts often get replied to hours after they are posted. double posting is against the forum rules and is liable to result in deletion of your posts.
    I have a repalcement Leopard DVD, I cancelled last time so Im trying again after booting from disc and verifying HD. Will post back. What does kernal Panic mean,
    who mentioned kernel panics?
    I don't believe you've had one. when a kernel panic happens you'll see a message in several languages that your need to restart your computer by holding down the power button. did you have one of those? You also, didn't answer my question. what kind of install are you doing? do you have tiger on your system right now? are you trying update and install? I think with a failed install you need to do an erase and install. boot from the leopard install DVD, reformat the hard drive using Disk Utility from Utilities menu and proceed with an erase and install.

  • I Need Serious Help With My ZEN MICRO! Help With MediaSource!! Don't Know What I'm Doing

    Hey.. I just bought my zen micro... i love the player itself...but coming from itunes, which is amazingly easy and simple to use, the creative mediasource is sooo hard for me to get the hang of! First, i had to figure out how to get my songs from itunes (aac) to mediasource (wma). not easy... now, i don't understand how to edit my songs, playlists, etc... i can't do anything!! if there's someone who wouldn't mind helping me out..please reply or write and let me know.... thanks! jason. [email protected]

    >> First, i had to figure out how to get my songs from itunes (aac) to mediasource (wma). not easy...
    This is not MediaSource's issue.
    >> i don't understand how to edit my songs, playlists, etc...
    The first task you need to do is to add all your songs into MediaSource's PC Music Library. After that, it is not difficult to figure out how to use MediaSource. Editing track properties and creating playlist is very simple. To transfer tracks to your devices, you need to click a button at the bottom right of MediaSource to open up another panel to facilitate the transfer.

  • Help with K7N2 Delta mobo

    Got it from my brother the other week.  Found out that the processor was bad so I got a new one and tried to boot it up.  Everything would power up but I did not get a beep or any display on the monitor.  So I removed all the components except for the CPU, heatsink, PSU, and D-bracket.  Still no beep, and the leds for the D-bracket pointed to Memory Detection Test.  I pulled the mobo out of the case and placed it on an anti-static mat and still not getting a beep or display.  I know the CPU works because I tested it on another AMD pc at work.  I am going to test the GPU in another tonight after I get home.  I cleared the CMOS already.  The J10 jumper is set to 133MHz and the J11 is set to 133/166MHz.  Don't know what else to try.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Quote from: Fredrik Åsenius on 24-August-05, 05:00:25
    Yep, the processor seems to be the problem.
    You know of course that the graphics card, ATI ALL-IN-WONDER 9800Pro 128MB 256-bit DDR VIVO AGP 4X/8X, need a special power connection, too.
    http://www.gen-x-pc.com/vg_AIW9800P.htm From the picture it looks like a floppy device power cable.
    And, this doesn't solve your problem, but I think you should wait with any PCI-cards. If you have any, take them out.
    I tried the processor in another AMD machine at work and it was able to boot.  I have the extra power cable for the ATI card plugged in.  I tried booting with nothing on the board except the CPU and the D-link and still not getting a pc beep.
