New system locks up when not under load 790fx-gd70

My system freezes up. Mouse stops moving (no blue screen). I have not overclocked anything. I replaced my stable motherboard, processor and memory with an upgrade. The system is not stable. I have tested the memory, disabled the onboard sound card, upgraded to the latest drivers and firmware. I now suspect the feature that shares system memory with the video card. How to I stop System Memory from being shared with my video card?
I can see that 1.7GB of my system memory has been assigned over to add to my 256MB video memory, but don't see any way to stop it!
790FX-GD70
Phenom II x3 2.8GHz
OCZ DDR3 / 1066
BFGTech 7800GTX OC
600watt power supply

This board apparently has an incompatibility with my video card.  I threw in an old ATI x300SE PCI-E and have not experienced the lock ups.  This makes the brand choice clear for a new video card.  nvidia lovers beware.

  • Presario cq61 notebook PC is locking up when windows is loading

    Presario cq61 notebook PC locking up when loading windows. Just recently updated drivers that were missing or damaged and when I restarted the system locked up when loading windows. Can't find safe mode to find or fix problem. An I'm running windows 7. Please someone help me with this problem.

    Hi @sng4ever2000 ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your Compaq Presario CQ61 Notebook and issues starting Windows 7. Try to turn on the computer you start to press F11 repeatedly till the menu opens. You can do a system restore. System restore will help if something automatically updated and did not go well on the Notebook.
    When performing a System restore please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices as they can cause issues.
    I would be happy to assist if needed. How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
    Please let me know.

  • Hi, I have an iPhone 4 which rings people when it is locked, whether or not in my pocket.  I always lock it when not using it.  Can anyone help? It is calling random numbers, not the last person or anyone even recently called on my recents list. Thanks

    Pay no attention to iinami, the amount of replies to people saying their handsets must have been jailbroken everytime iTunes throws out an error is tremendous. (Clearly you don't need to have any real knowledge to get to level 3 on these forums, let's hope apple's geniuses know a lot more than some of their customers.)

    Solution below.
    Error 9
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

  • Transfer to new PC: The project could not be loaded, it may be damaged or contain outdated elements

    The Problem
    I have transferred a large and functioning Premiere Pro project to a more powerful PC but am unable to run it, stopped by the error message "The project could not be loaded, it may be damaged or contain outdated elements".
    Facts
    The new PC has a 6-core processor and a different hard drive configuration but the operating system on both is Windows 7 and both PCs host up-to-date Premiere Pro CS6 (as part of Adobe Production Premium). The PCs are networked and Premiere Pro on the old PC can successfully load and run the project file located on the new PC, proving that the transferred file is not damaged. Also, preceding versions of the same project generate the same error message when run on the new PC except, very oddly, for earlier versions saved on or before 28 June 2011, when the project was only a fifth of its current size; those versions load correctly. Contemporary notes show that the editing carried out that day was simple timeline editing, ie no After Effects etc (that came later), and the project has worked fine then and since.
    So I don't have a damaged project file and don't know what "outdated elements" means.
    Help
    Any help solving this problem would be much appreciated.

    Hi Vinay
    As suggested I renamed the additional folder, created a new project, set 'Custom' editing mode, 'Microsoft AVI' as the preview format with 'Uncompressed' codec.
    Unfortunately the results were similar to before: On importing the original project into the new project I was sequentially asked for the locations of various files, including After Effects .aep files. The final file location request, for an mp3 audio file, was followed by lots of conforming and indexing. During this process the 'Where is the file XXX.mp3? window stayed locked open. Eventually, with all conforming etc finished, this window was still open and locked. Clicking anywhere on the screen caused a 'ding' and another, smaller, box opened, listing three .aep files. This box asked no questions and gave no options for selecting a file location so, with the topmost file highlighted, I just clicked 'ok' and the box disappeared, leaving the 'Where is the file XXX.mp3?' box still open.
    The importing process took about 30 minutes. I waited another 10 minutes, in case something was happening in the background, but with the Task Manager CPU usage value sitting on 0 or 1%, I used it to shut down the project.
    For what it is worth, I created a simple new project on the old PC – just a few video clips and transitions in a single sequence (no After Effects etc). This project was then transferred to the new PC and it opened successfully.
    Again I remain grateful to you for this and any more advice.
    Best regards
    Dave

  • System lock ups when using hard disks

    At first I thought I had the same issue as in this thread however after reading his logs I decided that it is unlikely since the topic opener seems to be getting a bunch of
    Apr 4 17:00:15 daxteriv slim[708]: (Do:882): GLib-CRITICAL **: Source ID 46 was not found when attempting to remove it
    , so I decided to start a new thread.
    I am not getting anything in my logs when I look at them after the crashes. It seems as if whatever is causing the issue makes it impossible to write to the drives so nothing seems out of place until after it's too late, and quite obvious that something is wrong. The sole exception to this was some complaint about ata9.00, however this seems to have been a red haring since the complete removal of this drive solved nothing, though it did make the error go away.
    I have run memtest, and prime95 (in windows since at the time I didn't want to boot my system) both coming back negative. I also checked for SMART errors, particularly UDMA errors. Again, negative.
    Here are some previous threads of mine that I believe to be all related to the same issue:
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=195449
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=193937
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=192704
    [edit3] My previous thought was that this was a btrfs issue, however now I think it may be more hardware related.[/edit3]
    Last night I was writing urandom to a new drive and I woke up in the morning to see that it had stopped prematurely, but not due to lack of space. The system had not locked up completely, which was new, however, as soon as I did something that accessed the disks (tried using the Gnome Dash), all hell broke loose. I immediately hit the power button, which would start a shutdown. I didn't know about REISUB, or I would have tried that. In anycase the shutdown failed and I had to hard reboot.
    The evening before I was playing games just fine and doing normal activities.
    Also, the other day, while booted into the live cd I think it started to crash since it was acting extremely bizarre, but I shutdown, successfully, before it could do more than complain a lot. At the time I was in the middle of scrubbing a btrfs volume after a system lock up. I think, but am not certain, that I saw on my motherboard "A5" which, according to the manual indicates "SCSI reset", but I had an extremely bad viewing angle. I know neither if what I think I saw was correct, nor do I know if the system was again in the process of a meltdown.
    In general there is no activity that seems to be able to instantly trigger this, though in each case, if my memory serves me well, there was a constant stream of data either to or from a HDD.
    My set up is that I have 5 HDDs, and an SSD. One HDD has Windows, my fallback installation of Arch, and daily backups. Another drive, which I just installed a few days ago currently only has single 50GB btrfs partition that is not part of any sort of larger volume. I also have three other drives each with four parttitions each involved in a btrfs volume. At the top is a 175 GB volume in a RAID0 configuration,  after that is a 25GB partiton in RAID1, then a 650GB partion (RAID1), and the remainder of the disk (about 80GB) is in single. The RAID0 is has games on it and sometimes for short term storage (a few hours), the 25GBx3 RAID1 is used for Arch as well my ~/.local, ~/.cache, ~/.thunderbird, ~/.mozilla, and ~/.config. The 50GB partition I mentioned is currently doing the job of this volume, and was not mounted last night, but has been before. The 650GBx3 is used for long term storage of just about everything, in particular ~ is mounted here. The single configured volume is used for downloads, storing ISOs and installers. The SSD is used for caching those partitions used in the RAID0 volume with bcache. I DO NOT think this is a bcache issue since the RAID0 volume has never had any errors.
    My motherboard is a ASUS X79-DELUXE which has the SATA controllers: Intel X79 Express Chipset, Marvell 9230, ASMedia 1061.
    [edit] Oh, I'm on kernel 3.19.2 and btrfs is 3.19.
    [edit2] Also, I converted the RAID0 to a single in case that matters.
    [edit4] I finished scrubbing and copied my "journalctl -b" output to pastebin. I can't see any thing that might raise any flags. http://pastebin.com/WXpbpTuc

    nstgc : it's hard to tell if your problems are memory related, but memtst often needs multiple passes to detect errors.
    How many passes did you let it make ?
    Is it possible for you to take out say half of the memory chips and see if that changes anything ?

  • IPod shows locked even when not

    iPod is showing "locked" even when the toggle switch is not on lock. I have restored it via iTunes, and it still shows locked, so can not use at all. Can't find any articles regarding how to turn this off. Any help appreciated. I've toggled it back & forth several times to try and unlock it with no luck. Thanks.

    So you are saying that the time is in parentheses? I want to make sure I understand what you are having trouble with. When I am running on battery, the time left is in parentheses (3:15). When I am charging, the number (1:13) is in parentheses, as well as the word Charged (Charged). If the time option is selected in the preferences, there will always be parentheses. This is my experience.
    If you can, post a picture of what you are speaking of. That may help.

I have looked through the options and cannot find anything to open a new tab with the homepage. Is it possible? Have I missed it? If it's not possible, could you make it so?

  • So, I installed itunes on windows xp, but system locks up when I try to sync ipod classic

    I recently installed Itunes on a computer with windows xp. At first it recognized my Iphone 4s and Ipod classic 160 g. Went through the standard procedure for registering both products and everything seemed fine. Then I started importing my cd collection with the intention of syncing them to my ipod classic.
    I should mention that my previous computer crashed with my original Itunes account(that went with my ipod classic). I didn't know how to recover it so I just started over. When I tried to sync it with my cd collection everything locked up. Itunes and my computer froze up to the point where i had to do a "hard shut off". Although, it still accepts my iphone with no problem. How do I sync both on the same itunes account?

    The problem is likely iTunes 10.5, which has loads of sync problems with the iPod Classic. If you look on this forum, you'll see lots of users like you with similar problems. Normally, I'd advise you to read this summary post of mine and consider downgrading to 10.4. But you want to sync both an iPhone and your classic, and you need 10.5.x if you want to use the iCloud features. So I'm not sure what to advise, other than to use the correct USB ports and possibly to disable realtime virus scanning during your sync efforts.

  • New MBP locks up when watching DVD.

    Hi,
    I have a 15" MBP 2.2G 2G RAM. About 1 month old.
    The scenario is that I have three Apps open; DVD player, Final Cut Pro and Motion.
    I flick backwards and forwards between the apps, watching and pausing a Tutorial DVD, whilst making changes in FCP and Motion.
    Every now-and-again the Mac just freezes, usually when I'm watching/pausing the DVD.
    At this point nothing is accessible; no Force Quit, no Mouse movement, no Dock, no nothing.
    My only option is to hold down the power button to turn off the machine.
    Anyone kind enough to offer suggestions or direct me to the right place for a fix?
    Thanks in advance...

    Try to determine if the issue is software-related. Boot from your install DVD and let it idle from there. If it does not act up, then I would say you have a problem in your operating system and a reinstall should fix it.

  • Continuous "36888 Schannel Errors" in System Event Log when NOT connected to Internet

    We are hoping someone will be able to assist with us this very strange issue please ?
    We are using Windows 8.1 x64 Enterprise with Office 2013 and the latest Symantec Endpoint Proctecion v12.1.5 installed. They are managed using SCCM2012 in a large AD domain environment
    When our workstations are NOT connected to the internet (only local intranet) the following errors appear in SYSTEM event log almost continuously (several times a minute).
    Event ID:36888  User: SYSTEM  OpCode:Info  Level:Error  Source:SChannel 
    "A fatal alert was generated and sent to the remote endpoint. This may result in termination of the connection. The TLS protocol defined fatal error code is 70. The Windows Schannel error state is 11."
    The process associated with these events is "Local Security Authority Process"
    When an internet connection is enabled for these machines these 36888 errors will suddenly stop !.
    An event "Error 36887 "A fatal alert was received from the remote endpoint. The TLS protocol defined fatal alert code is 40." Is also occurring on these machines but only occasionally.
    As a result, We suspect there must be a process continuously attempting to connect to an internet service and failing ?.
    Some of the things we have tried so far;
    - We have disabled all non-essential services (e.g. Windows Store Service) one by one but this didn't fix.
    - We have tried disabling Tile updates on Start 
    - We have tried a bunch of different Group Policy settings to disable different combinations of TLS/SSL in IE config.
    - We have searched the internet forums and tried some suggested fixes but this combination of error state and error code seems unique ?.
    It doesn't happen on our Windows 7 x64 workstations that have much same apps & configuration.
    Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated !
    Thanks.

    This Event ID 36888 occurs if a user tries to access a web site using HTTP but specifies an SSL port in the URL.

  • System locks up when I open Firefox.

    I have a Lenovo Thinkpad running Windows XP sp3.
    Two days ago, Firefox locked up, along with windows. I had to turn off and restart. The system will restart after running chkdsk and recovering a bunch of "orphaned" files. It doesn't report any problems with the hard disk.
    After restarting Windows, I am able to connect to the internet and run other browsers and generally the computer runs fine until I try to run Firefox. It opens and gives the message "Well, this is embarrassing. . ." but nothing else happens. The entire system freezes up until I shut it down and restart the computer.
    I have received a couple of blue screens, but they give different crash ids and the recent lock ups have had no blue screens.
    I have sent reports to Mozilla with the reporting software.

    Hi, please go to Options (cog wheel) - in the 3-bar menu unless you've moved it. Then in the General tab, make sure that 'When Firefox starts' is set to 'Show my home page.' Also make sure that 'Home Page' is set to '''about:newtab '''Then restart Firefox.
    Hope that helps.
