That is great advice and definitely something I will look into doing, both on the backup strategy AND the install order of things. I have a Seagate Backup Plus drive that can more than handle the backup of the SSD drive when I have everything installed.
Does the build look pretty solid? I have made a few minor tweaks to what is listed (went with some faster RAM, and upgraded the CPU cooler a bit)

If it stucks on that one , doesn't that mean that it's the next one in the process that fails ?
Funny u should mention that, I was thinking about that a while back, particularly when setting up stickies. Saw nothing to support my logic & so went back to simlpler things like the meaning of life.
My Thoughts ended up as:-
1) but on the basis the system, on failing the stage, will be in various degrees of instability, it can't reliably be expected to feed back. Therefore 2)
2) Logically the system presets LED state for the next stage on completion of the previous stage. If the next stage fails the Led bracket is correct about the failing stage.

What to expect from a new build I'm planning

I have a basic "opinion" or "guess" question, please.
I'm planning a new build at some point and have to make a decision on when to take the financial plunge. In a few months, funds will be better, but I can manage the cost now if the speed improvements will be worth it. Speed improvements mean time which means money.
I'm running a small business producing videos for ourselves for business presentations (marketing and fund-raising) using Premiere Pro, outputting to FLV and DVD.
My content is pretty simple: video footage (talking head) from a camcorder, with two more tracks for titles and Photoshop images, with dip-to-black transitions. Soon I'll have my video guru provide some 3D animations that will also be included.
Until now, I've been capturing my footage into an interlaced project where I cut the raw footage into usable pieces. Then, I output those pieces to AVI, which I then run through a routine in Virtual Dub with presets my guru provided me with to take care of noise reduction and deinterlacing. Then, I import that resultant AVI (or set of AVIs) to a progressive project where I finish my editing and add the additional tracks with the titles, images and transitions.
Then, I output that to AVI, and convert those AVIs to FLV and/or use Encore to create DVD images.
The main concern I have is the very long wait times when I output to AVI from Premiere, process with Virtual Dub, and output to DVD image from Encore. (Of course, reduction in any wait time adds up, too.)
So, I have to try to guess at what kind of time I'll save when doing those tasks (and across overall working time) once I build the new machine. That will help me decide on whether to build the new machine now or later, based on the financial criteria.
I currently own an HP workstation, but it will not support the new Fermie CUDA cards. I want to use a GTX-470 (or -480). This is the pivotal issue that requires I build a new machine. Until then, I’m not using the CS5 MPE-CUDA features. What I don't know is how much time it will really save me on those major time-consuming tasks when I do make the jump.
One important consideration may lie in the fact that, accoring to my video guru, one of the advantages of the way Premiere CS5 plays well together with the approved CUDA cards is that it does GPU-based deinterlacing. He's suggesting this should may save me the time of having to do it in Virtual Dub phase (I'm not sure what he suggests about the noise reduction -- I think he may have commented that it may no longer be unnecessary, though to me it has seemd to make a huge improvement).
(Note: I see there are still some bugs in CS5 that hamper the benefits for now. For instance, I've read that there's an issue with CS5 whereby it takes a long time to export to AVI, and that there's a compromise with DV on an external monitor, but I don't know that those are issues in my decision since the former is going to exist regardless of whether I do the new build and the latter probably doesn't even apply to me.)
Here are my two system configurations, the "before and after," that I want to compare or, rather, to please ask for some guesses about as to potential time savings. Maybe I should call them the "Current" and "New build."
CURRENT:
- HP z400 machine -- mid-tower (no room for cooling a Fermie card)
- CPU: Xeon quad-core 4-thread
- RAM: 8MB DDR2
- GPU: nVidia FX-580 (obviously won't support new benefits of CS5 the way the GTX-470/480 in the new build will)
- DRIVES: one HD for OS/apps, one HD for swap, and three HDs in a RAID-5 array for data
NEW BUILD:
- high-end full-tower case with plenty of cooling support
- MOBO: ASUS P6X58D
- CPU: i7 930 (maybe OCd a bit, or maybe 980x)
- RAM: 12GB DDR3 triple-channel
- GPU: nVidia GTX-470 (or maybe 480)
- DRIVES: either same as current system, or maybe going to five drives in a RAID-3 array for data
I'd be hugely grateful for any guesses as to how much time in the major encoding tasks (and in overall work time) the new build is likely to save me.
Thanks so much!

Jay, I wonder about this statement of yours "I currently own an HP workstation, but it will not support the new Fermie CUDA cards". How did you come to that conclusion?
Hi Bill,
Well, I make that assertion after a huge amount of time lost trying to make it work.
(See my posts July 16 and July 18th in this thread for the longer version of my excursion: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2945538#2945538)
The GTX-470 calls for at least 550W of power, The HP z400 workstation comes with 475W and it's a proprietary power supply. It won't take a standard ATX PSU -- the screw holes won't line up and even its pin-out for the system power plug is custom.
Undaunted, I bought a Corsair HX750W power supply and placed it outside of the machine on the floor, and used it solely to power the GPU.
I put the GTX-470 in and left the case cover off while familiarizing myself with Windows 7 for a couple days, but when I came into the office the third say the machine was locked up and the GPU was scorching hot. All fans on all components seemed to be working fine.
(I also noticed that the onboard sound never installed and there was no sound, and that the Sound, video and game controllers section in Device Manager only had four instances of "NVIDIA High Definition Audio." HP tech support was at a loss. My video guru says those drivers are probably normal from the GTX-470 card, but nobody could explain why the mother board considered that a replacement for the onboard sound. We don't know if that was a sign of imperfect compatibility between the GPU and mother board, which seems feasible since I had already learned -- the hard way after days of work -- that the mother board was at least a little custom in that the PSU was custom even at the system plug.)
So, when I had come that mornign and found the machine locked and the GPU super hot, I expermimented by cooling the machine down with a huge 12" external fan, then rebooted. For the next fifteen hours I waited to see if it would again heat up and lock up (or was it "lock up then heat up"?) and put more load on it by playing an AVI in WMP full-screen a number of times. For those fifteen hours the system ran fine and GPU stayed somewhere between cool and only very moderately warm.
Nobody has had a reason why it had ended up with the machine locked and the GTX-470 resulted scorching hot.
Bad GPU? Insufficient cooling? (Which maybe caused the system board to lock down the machine... which caused it to keep the GPU going with insufficient fan power???) Incompatibility between the GPU and system board? (Which had caused it to lock up the GPU in "on" mode and thus get scorching hot?)
And the consensus among those who thought it was a cooling issue was "almost" unanimous in saying that just running it with the case cover on would not be enough to keep the GPU reliably below the necessary cooling threshold, especially since I hadn't even begun to put a real load on it (I hadn't even installed Premiere on the machine yet).
And, it seemed evident to me that trying to creatively pack the machine with fans and cooling was just not realistic. If it is, I'd like to know, since that would be a lot cheaper than building a $5,000 machine. Here's a picture of the machine with the GTX-470 in it: www.silver100.com/x/z400_GTX-470.JPG.
Of course, all the cooling in the world still wouldn't help if the problem was compatibility with the system board.
You'll notice I got no responses at that other thread when I asked what the "guess" was as to the cause. So, I figured that -- short of it being a bad GPU -- building a new machine was the only way to fix it if it was a cooling problem and the only way to fix it if it was a compatibility problem.
I'm sure anxious to hear your thoughts.
Thanks so much!
Jay

FRM-92101 on client machines after physical move to new building

I'm relatively new to IAS (1.0.2.2.2a), Portal (3.0.9.8.5), Forms (6.0.8.25), etc. We recently moved most of our employees to a new building. The web server and DB server remains at the old location. External internet users continue to access the portal and Forms application successfully. Our Intranet users can access the portal. But after the Forms app URL is selected, the application login/mainmenu fails with FRM-92101: A failure has occurred on the server. You will need to reestablish your session.
The java console display on my workstation:
Forms Applet version is : 60825
oracle.forms.net.ConnectionException: Forms session <1,102> aborted: unable to communicate with runtime process.
     at oracle.forms.net.ConnectionException.createConnectionException(Unknown Source)

     at java.io.DataOutputStream.flush(Unknown Source)
     at oracle.forms.net.StreamMessageWriter.run(Unknown Source)
Anyone have any idea on how to begin chasing this down?

Thanks for the response. I've worked several days with with my Network IT dept to resolve this issue. So far, they see nothing. They opened up the firewalls completely with negative results. Network tracing has revealed nothing. I discovered workstation DNS calls from the server didn't work any longer after the move to the new building. That has been resolved with no effect on the Forms call. I have increased all the recommended timeout parameters per Note 204446.1. No impact. My failure is immediate when calling the form from my portal. It's as if workstation sessions are being rejected by the the Forms servlet process or the network. Any ideas on what else to look at?

WHINE!!! New Build 15 vs. 17

Hey Guys,
Now that the 17" MBPs are out and it looks as if they are free of the dreaded whine, do any of you have a 15" from that same production cycle/week that is also free of the whine. The reason I ask is because I am trying to determine if the parts that have been installed in the new 17", have made it in the new builds of the 15 inch MBP. I am getting a refund and I really want another 15" but if it has the whine then I might wait. Let me know if there are any of you out there with a recent 15" that is free of the whine.
Best Regards
Felix Morariu

I posted this eleswhere but it seems to fit.
"Mine is a week-12 and it's nearly perfect as one can reasonably expect. I don't have any noise other than the soft whisper of the fan(s), no image flaws, no misaligned keys, etc. It really does have as much to do with personal expectations and perhaps a little luck. Either way, I very satisfied and I wouldn’t dare roll the nice for another one simply for the sake of a later build date. Hope you may find this as helpful or at least a bit reassuring.
Regards,"

Failed to resolve ts dependencies in new building

trying to solve a problem remotely...
a customer has moved to a new building while keeping the same two distribution points without changing their names, ip addresses or domain membership as I asked him to
now they can't install a new (unknown) machine in the new building, while it does still work in the old building
the customer has added the boundaries of the new building to the existing group pointing to the existing DP
the TS bombs out with the message 'failed to resolve ts dependencies'
why does it work in the old building and not the new?

HI,
It truly sounds like a Boundary/boundary group issue.. Nothing else that has changed? otherwise I would doublecheck the Boundary / Boundary groups..

New Build a78m-35 wont boot/POST

Hello, I am hoping someone can help me out as I am not sure what else to try. Its a new build with the following components:
A78M-35 MB
AMD X4-760K CPU
CORSAIR CX 430
WD SATA 1TB drive
Radion Saphire GPU
I have hooked up everything like I have many times before and also re-read manual for sanity sake. I have unhooked and re-hooked everything as well, pulled MB out and re-inserted. Pulling out RAM does not offer any beeps but I am not sure if this board even has a board speaker to play beeps. Everything powers on just no output to screen and no beeps at all. Have tried just vga from integrated port with graphics card not installed as well as dvi from graphics card.
I am wondering if the bios version is not correct for this CPU? Is there a way i can tell? Is there anything else I can try?
Thank you very much in advance.

Radeon R9-260X - 19A and a 450W psu minimum <-- you are below on the wattage by 20w
without the GPU you have no Graphics as the board has no graphics core and the board itself has non so you would have 0 output!
as for your PSU have you tried another one?
do you have another graphics card you could try on it?
No i do not have another graphics card or PSU to try on it.

New build 9860 discards all installed 64bit programs

Hi!
After installing the new build 9860 the "Program" folder is cleared. All previously user installed programs are discarded. I tried it two times with the same results. 32bit programs were kept.
Any ideas?
Regards

Hi gogosch,
Sometimes, when you perform upgrade, it would check the compatibility issue first, if it detects something would prevent upgrade, it would remove the problematical applications.
Currently, we did many tests on upgrade, this is the probable reason for your situation.
Or if it is possible, can you give us some samples of 64 bit application, I would like to perform a test to confirm this issue.

New Build FTTP - What speeds can I expect?

Moving into a new build towards the end of the year. The spec sheet of the house is detailed as having: "Broadband via Fibre to the Premises FTTP via BT Openreach"
Just trying to gauge what kind of speeds I'd be expecting to get... Based on the postcode it looks like we'd be in between the Armadale and Bathgate exchanges with Armadale having FTTP enabled and Bathgate having FTTC enabled, although I'd suspect we're probably closer to the Bathgate exchange.
Obviously no information about what cabinets we'd likely be connected to as of yet.

If your new property is being installed with FTTP then the speeds with FTTP isn't effected by distance from the exchange like ADSL broadband and nor is it effect by distance from the cabinet like FTTC broadband.
The speeds you can get with FTTP depends on what service level you get. The current highest sercice level with FTTP is up to 330mbps downstream and up to 30mbps upstream

New build P7N SLI-FI stuck on Memory Check

I have a new build with the following components:
Case: Aluminus ULTRA
Mobo: MSI P7N SLI-FI
CPU: Intel E8400, 3ghz LGA775, 1333 fsb, Core 2 Duo
PSU: Rosewill Extreme RX950-s-b, 80 Plus
HDD: Seagate Barracuda, 7200 SATAII
Memory: 4 X CM2X1024-6400C4 (DDR2 800 1gb sticks)
Video Card: NVidia GeForce 9500 GT
Everything is plugged in according to the directions with the mobo, I connected the 24 pin power, and the 8 pin power for the CPU. Everything is brand new, I carefully seated the CPU and cooler.
The thing gets as far as the memory check and stalls.. nothing more. At one point the message concerning the DEL or F11 key to go to BIOS or Boot came up but pressing either did nothing.
I remove the mobo from the chassis and place it on a non conductive surface.. no luck. Same result.
I remove all memory sticks but one ... still same result.
This is extremely frustrating.. any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe

Thanks for your reply.
Sorry for the crack about the Intel board...just frustrated.
So the company that I bought the board from (local company) actually loaned me a CPU that worked fine (Pentium 4), so I could flash the BIOS. I was pleasantly surprised. There is some definite value to buying from your local shop, I never shopped there before.. but I am glad I did this time... they are very trusting people.
Now my next problem; I do not have a license for Windows (nor do I have any Windows media laying around). I am a Linux user.
I have OpenSuse 10.3 up and running on this machine now and it is running great. I would however like to use my new processor so I need to flash to 7380 ver. 2.1.
Is there any utility for flashing the BIOS under Linux?
Thanks again,
Joe

New build, same problems

Having moved into a new build in the Newport area ~4 weeks ago, and ordering our package with BT a week prior to that we are still awaiting an engineer visit to flick a switch. The 'engineer' was booked to turn up on the 8th so i took the day off to enable the visit. low and behold no one showed up and we had to chase BT to find out what had happened. Numerous phone calls have got us no where to date and it appears that Openreach are refusing to investigate. The service received so far from all parties has frankly been appalling and I cannot think of an example in the recent past which has left me feeling so frustrated and helpless. What can BT do about this and what is a 'normal' install time from placing the order? Surely this can't be expected.

I suggest you contact the forum mods they should be able to get this problem sorted for you this is a link to them http://bt.custhelp.com/app/contact_email/c/4951

P67A-GD65 (B3) new build

I have a question about a new build using the following hardware:
Motherboard: MSI P67A-GD65 (B3)
Memory: OCZ 3G1333LV8GK DDR3-1333 (2x4GB)
CPU: i7-2600k
GPU: EVGA GTX 580
Hard drives: 2 1TB Western Digital SATA (no RAID)
After Windows 7 is installed...should I install all of the software under the Driver download section on the MSI site? Is all of it needed? Is there an order to the install?
Thanks or any info...

Why not simply install the drivers that are on the disc that came with the MB? Most of do not install the utility software or Live Update, just the drivers after OS is installed. 1st would be chipset/INF drivers and such and then the latest graphics drivers from NVIDIA website.

New build property, horrible BT phone line install...

Hi all.
I am writing here because I have been thrown around by BT and the phone line installation team over the past one month, and I have just run out of patience.
The entire experience started in late May, when I phoned BT and told them that I was moving house in 2 weeks and that I would need a new phone line installed at the new property, which is a new build. The BT sales team was more than happy to take my order, and since there was a charge of £130 for installation of phone line by itself, I decided to bundle both broadband and telephone line from BT directly to avoid that cost. I was a given an appointment on the 10th of June for my phone and broadband installation.
The 10th of June came and I took the day off work thinking all would be sorted by the end of the day. By the late afternoon no one ahd contacted me and there was no one who had come to the door. I called BT and had them check on my order and they said that "for some reason, the order says its still 'pending' and has not gone through..." After chatting with different people from different teams like sales, orders and them confrerring with engineers and seniors, I was finally told that the order could not be processed because I was in a new build and hence the system could not process a broadband order before there was an active phone line in the property, hence the failure of the order to go through. Next, I was given a date for the phone line order by itself to be done, and although I was frustrated here, I conceded and moved on hoping to get the issue sorted as quickly as possible. The new date was June 22nd for the phone line and then the broadband order to be placed thereafter. At this point I was not sent any emails or letter regarding my order with ym order number or any references, so I should have been sceptical, but I let it slide thinking it would be settled soon.
June 22nd came and I took leave off work again for the 8am - 1pm BT engineer visit. Once again, no one showed up or contacted me. I called BT again desperately hoping that this could not be happening again. When i asked the lady about my order scheduled for that day, she said that the order did not go through once again. It was still 'pending'! I was just shocked. I wanted to explode because twice BT had given me apppointment timings that could not be fulfilled and twice they left me in the lurch when they knew beforehand that the engineers would not show up, leaving me to take time from work which I cannot get back, much less the fact that I still do not even have a phone line. After much chatting with different people on the line I finally got them to book another order this time for July 9th for the phone line.
This time i called back on July 2nd and July 6th to make sure that my order was on track and I was assured that after checking with the 'openreach engineers on their side' that my order was on track and the engineer would show up definitely on 9th of July.
Then the 9th came and I took the morning off from work to wait for the engineer.Yet again, BT managed to show me how poorly they treat customers. No engineer showed up again, and as was becoming a habit now, I had to phone BT to enquire about my order and discover that the engineer was not going to show up today as well. When pressed much more the person on the other end finally relented that the cables from the exchange to my new build property need to be set up and are in the process of being done. I would then get a call when BT/Openreach finally finish this. I felt let down, especially when I asked how long that would be since I have already been waiting for a more than month for BT to carry this out and also agreed to pay the £130 set up charge for the phone line since they wanted to process the phone line order alone first. Her response was nothing more than a "I cannot tell for sure.." and at this point I could tell that meant it could be a really long while more before getting a phone line / broadband, if ever BT is interested in setting it up.
Is there any way to actually check and see if BT are setting up a connection from the exchange to the property for the phone line and how long it would take before I can finally get a simple phone line here?
Sorry if this was a bit of rant but it is rather draining and also costly for me having to deal with BT and wait for them when they could simply communicate with me better to inform me of their engineers' decisions.
Abi
*EDIT* I have also spoken to the developer of the property and they have informed me that the flat is ready for a phone line to be installed, and that BT is only currently fitting phone lines to the building across the road and not my block, so that means someone at BT/Openreach is telling me the worng thing and the engineer is just refusing to come out now. I have additionally spoken to some of the other residents who moved in before me in the same block and they have had phone lines connected to their property by BT so I think this problem needs sorting out asap by BT please.
Thank you.

Hi
It seems that I am caught in the same endless maelstrom of bt/open reach inability to meet installation obligations.
We have a new build home on a small private development. No cable available regrettably so all 6 of our neighbours use bt phone and std broadband.
Ordered both services end April to be told that install appointment was 30 May - seemed a long time but accepted. Had whole series of emails and texts from bt reminding of appointment and arrival of modem, but late evening 29 May text arrived saying order delayed and put back to 13 June. Called following morning and got the run around took 40 mins to get any answer of sense that said ,Line work was required and open reach we're dealing withi it.
13 June came and went no one called or advised that appointment would not be met. Again many phone calls but same answer line issues. My developer tells me that the lines are installed per spec, in fact we have a black network cable present through a conduit next our front door but no terminal box to join up to white phone line wires to inside phone points. Offered bt a photo of this but they will not accept it. Just keep saying line issues holding up install. Either way unless this work is done the it will be impossible to connect even if other work had rally to be done - not interested!
This week promised that all would be done, 16th the 17th and then 18th -nothing again and hence more phone calls.
Issue handed to resolution team who calked today to say work schedule for 12 July! More than two months since order - just don't believe them and asked them to escalate - no hopes up!
In the meantime our phone no rings out and people wonder why we are not answering! Complete shambles.
In 2014 this should be easy meat to BT who seem tied up in a complaint type process that resolves nothing.
I have no real choice but BT and their performance is just hopeless. Advised ofcom but don't deal with individual complaints - this is consumer hell and very very frustrating.

K8n neo2 new build question?

Im currently in the process of building a new comp based on the neo2 platinum.This machine will have fx53 processor(when i can find one in stock)an audigy 2 sound card and either an albatron 6800ultra or an asus x800xe pe.i acutally have both cards now jus waiting too see which will be the better choice for hl2(the reason for the new build in the first place).Ram will be two pieces of corsair xms 3500 for 1 gig total.Sorry for the long wind but i wanted to give as good of a hardware portrait that i can to get an accurate answer.Okay i cant figure out the best pci slot for the audigy2.I beleive its either slot 3 or slot 4 occording to the manuel but i wanted peoples opinion who have alreay built thier machine,hopefully close to the specs provided.Thanks in advance and sorry for all the typing;)

I just put mine as far from the grapics card as I could, well almost so I used the one up from the orange slot. Anyone know why the last one is orange???

I have a production mobile Flex app that uses RemoteObject calls for all data access, and it's working well, except for a new remote call I just added that only fails when running with a release build. The same call works fine when running on the device

I have a production mobile Flex app that uses RemoteObject calls for all data access, and it's working well, except for a new remote call I just added that only fails when running with a release build. The same call works fine when running on the device (iPhone) using debug build. When running with a release build, the result handler is never called (nor is the fault handler called). Viewing the BlazeDS logs in debug mode, the call is received and send back with data. I've narrowed it down to what seems to be a data size issue.
I have targeted one specific data call that returns in the String value a string length of 44kb, which fails in the release build (result or fault handler never called), but the result handler is called as expected in debug build. When I do not populate the String value (in server side Java code) on the object (just set it empty string), the result handler is then called, and the object is returned (release build).
The custom object being returned in the call is a very a simple object, with getters/setters for simple types boolean, int, String, and one org.23c.dom.Document type. This same object type is used on other other RemoteObject calls (different data) and works fine (release and debug builds). I originally was returning as a Document, but, just to make sure this wasn't the problem, changed the value to be returned to a String, just to rule out XML/Dom issues in serialization.
I don't understand 1) why the release build vs. debug build behavior is different for a RemoteObject call, 2) why the calls work in debug build when sending over a somewhat large (but, not unreasonable) amount of data in a String object, but not in release build.
I have't tried to find out exactly where the failure point in size is, but, not sure that's even relevant, since 44kb isn't an unreasonable size to expect.
By turning on the Debug mode in BlazeDS, I can see the object and it's attributes being serialized and everything looks good there. The calls are received and processed appropriately in BlazeDS for both debug and release build testing.
Anyone have an idea on other things to try to debug/resolve this?
Platform testing is BlazeDS 4, Flashbuilder 4.7, Websphere 8 server, iPhone (iOS 7.1.2). Tried using multiple Flex SDK's 4.12 to the latest 4.13, with no change in behavior.
Thanks!

After a week's worth of debugging, I found the issue.
The Java type returned from the call was defined as ArrayList. Changing it to List resolved the problem.
I'm not sure why ArrayList isn't a valid return type, I've been looking at the Adobe docs, and still can't see why this isn't valid. And, why it works in Debug mode and not in Release build is even stranger. Maybe someone can shed some light on the logic here to me.

New build in the $2k-3k range
