No go on slot 1

I was hoping someone here had a genius idea I hadn't though of in regards to my new build.
The video card will only with @ pcie2 x8 and only in the bottom 2 slots. (Fans come on the vid but no picture)
I move the card to the next slot down and everything runs fine albeit at pcie2 x 8...
Vid Bios: 70.10.27.00.01 (P1263-0000)

No device of any kind works in PCIE-E2? If so, that behavior has been posted before here at the forum. It can be traced to a problem in the CPU socket. Bent pin(s) or poor CPU pad to pin contact. An errant standoff grounding out the slot underneath the board, a faulty slot, or a problem with the CPU itself.

The card will not work in pci_e2 (The top slot) Fans run moniter comes out of sleep but no picture.
Can you clarify this? The VGA does work in PCIE-E2 but doesn't when the pc is brought out of a sleep mode?

  • Can't install OS 8.6 on iMac "DV" (400) Slot Loading?

    I have an iMac "DV" (400) Slot Loading that I am trying to install the original system on (8.6, if I'm not mistaken). It has 128 mbs of RAM, a 10 gb HD, and currently no system installed on the hard drive. I have updated the firmware to 4.1.9.
    The problem is that the iMac won't boot from the install CD for me to do the installation. The iMac used to have OS 9 installed on it, and when I tried to run the installer with the computer booted from 9, it told me it couldn't run on this machine. I believe I have the correct installation CD. I have also tried a couple of other installation CDs, and neither 8.5 or 8.6 will boot this computer.
    Is there a way I can get 8.6 installed on this machine with the 8.6 CD, or is it just not possible for me to install 8.6 any more?

    Hi Jon
    Load the install CD into the Mac then power off (with the CD still inserted), on rebooting but before the chime, hold down letter C on the keyboard, that will boot from the install CD to let you do a system install.
    You did not note whether you had other programs/files on the iMac that you want to keep, but if not, I would suggest that you do a complete "clean install" by re-formating/initializing the HD, then install the OS.
    I would also suggest that you partition the HD into 3 (or more) partitions, 1 for the main system, 1 (or more) for your other programs/files and 1 for a "back up system", the logic being the main system is your default "boot-up" while the "back-up" system is what you boot to do maintenance/de-frag etc on the main system with a utility such as Norton's Utilities or similar.
    I would also suggest that you have a copy of Norton's (or similar) on both systems, that way you can "chop and change" systems to do the maintenance. Proper maintenance/de-fraging cannot be done to the "boot-up" system that you boot from.
    Hope this is of some help.

    iMac "DV" (400) Slot Loading   Mac OS 8.6 or Earlier  

    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25517 shows that later releases of the same iMac came with 9.0 through 9.0.4. Those that did can't use an 8.6 install disk.
    You can sometimes plug in the serial number of the Mac in the http://www.apple.com/support/ search engine at the bottom right hand corner of the page where it says to do so, to get an idea of how old the Mac is.
    Knowing that date, will tell you the likely operating system to have been installed. Since 9.0 was released in October 1999, a date after October 1999, would indicate the Mac can't boot 8.6.

  • Pure craziness: W530 will post with a DIMM in slot 1 **or** 3, but not both.

    I've been going nuts here, so I apologize in advance if this email sounds a litted harried.
    I have two identical W530s in front of me. Both of them are i7-3820QM and are intended to support up to 32GB of RAM. So I went and ordered 32GB of RAM from Crucial and it showed up this afternoon. I promptly installed it all in machine A because I was in the middle of doing some work on machine B. Everything was fine with machine A.
    After I finished my work on machine B I decided to move the four DIMMs over there for various reasons; machine B will be there final destination. I stuck them in, making sure to seat them nicely. The machine refused to post. I pulled a couple out. The machine refused to post. I put them back in machine A. Machine A posted. Something fishy was up with machine B.
    To make a long story short, read the title of this message. This is seriously one of the weirdest things I have ever encountered with a piece of hardware. If you have all four DIMMs installed, the machine does not post. If you remove **only** DIMM 1, the machine posts. If you remove **only** DIMM 3, the machine posts. Slots 2 and 4 work just fine; whether they are empty or full or partially full doesn't effect a **bleep** thing. I've also tried this with 4GB DIMMs instead of 8GB DIMMS; same deal.
    Just to be ridiculously clear, here are he configurations that work and those that don't. "x" means that slot is empty.
    x x x x - fails, beeps (obviously)
    x x x 4 - works
    x x 3 x - works
    x x 3 4 - works
    x 2 x x - works
    x 2 x 4 - works
    x 2 3 x - works
    x 2 3 4 - works
    1 x x x - works
    1 x x 4 - works
    1 x 3 x - fails silently
    1 x 3 4 - fails silently
    1 2 x x - works
    1 2 x 4 - works
    1 2 3 x - fails silently
    1 2 3 4 - fails silently
    **bleep** is going on here? The BIOS isn't even giving error beeps in the failure modes. If I'm somehow being a total moron, please let me know; that is so much more satisfying than the idea of a machine that can't use all its RAM slots because of some weird hardware bug.
    Thanks!

  • PCI 2.1 SLot on K7T Turbo Limited Edition?

    I'm about to get a Firewire Card but I'm not sure whether my MB :   K7T Turbo Limited Edition (MS-6330 v3.X) has a PCI 2.1 slot. I haven't found it in manual either. Can anybody help?
    Thanks
    minurec

    Welcome!
    My Turbo2 manual doesn't specify either, but specs on MSI site for mine shows 32 bit PCI 2.2, usually backward compatible. Your MB is just one very short edition back, and I bet your slots are probably the same and 2.1 compatible. MSI shows yours as 32 bit, but w/o the #version. To my memory the 2.1 standard predates our MBs by a couple of years or more. I think you're safe to go.

  • Getting data transfered from old HD to new ones, leaving 2 slots filled . .

    Hello,
    *(Below is a thread I started in another forum, but, didn't get my final questions answered (see at bottom of this post in BOLD), and am hoping for further help and suggestions. I know there is a lot to read here, but, I think this information will help other novices, such as myself. Thanks!)*
    I have 2 new HDs (each 1T) uninstalled, and I have my old HD (160 gigs) currently residing in one of the two slots in my G5. Any ideas on the best way/process to get the data transfered from the old HD to the new ones, leaving my two slots filled with the 2 new drives AND my data from the old HD transfered and intact, with a RAID0 setup?
    OR, are there any other suggestions on a good setup with the 2 new HDs??
    I'm open to suggestions.
    I always back-up on external HDs, so, is their a need for me to worry about setting up a RAID0??
    I'm doing video processing for DVD release.
    Should I just max out the 2x1T gig HDs and not worry about a HD failure??
    All Suggestions welcomed!!
    Thanks, Jack
    *FROM THE CUTTERMAN:*
    You are limited with only 2 drive slots. In this scenario what usually works best is a small fast drive (eg Velocirapter or SSD) for OSX/Applications and a large drive for video files. It is not advisable to have the operating system running from a striped array.
    Since you already have the drives, here is what you can do.
    Install one new drive and format the partition you wish to use for OSX. You may not want to use the whole drive for OSX, so make 2 partitions. Be sure that it is GPT-formatted so it can boot.
    Use CarbonCopy Cloner to copy your current OSX partition to the new one.
    Set the startup disk as the new partition.
    Remove the old drive and replace it with the second new one.
    Reboot, and partition/format new drive.
    *Hey Cutterman,*
    Thanks for the advice. That sounds like a good set-up. I'll have to research the process of doing what you've advised, but, should work out ok:
    A. Install one new drive and format the partition you wish to use for OSX. You may not want to use the whole drive for OSX, so make 2 partitions:
    1. Partitions are done under Disc Utilities correct? Never done it before; will take a look.
    B. Be sure that it is GPT-formatted so it can boot.
    2. GPT is also done under Disc Utilities, correct? Here I start to get a bit confused, as I've formatted Extended Journal, SO, the partition with the OSX & Applications is formatted GPT, and the rest of the HD is formatted as Extended Journal?
    C. Use CarbonCopy Cloner to copy your current OSX partition to the new one.
    3. So, I partition the first new HD and use Carbon Copy Cloner (also under Disc Utilities) to copy the OSX & Applications from my original HD to the first new HD, correct?
    D. Set the startup disk as the new partition.
    4. This will be an option when I setup the partition???
    E. Remove the old drive and replace it with the second new one.
    F. Reboot, and partition/format new drive.
    5. QUESTION: So, you recommend not striping the HDs: If I do a RAID 1, which sets up a mirror of the HDs, and since the first new HD is partitioned with the OSX & Applications, AND is set up as the Startup Disk, then the second new HD will also mirror that?? Another QUESTION: Even if the second new HD does not mirror the OSX & Applications, the second HD will only mirror the space/partition not utilized by the OSX & Applications partition, correct?
    Thanks for your help!!
    Jack
    *FROM THE CUTTERMAN:*
    OK I will try to answer your questions. To begin, if you want to mirror the 2 drives then you will need to boot from the SL install DVD or an external (USB/firewire) drive to set it up. IMO for your purposes it is too much hassle and a waste of HD space.
    1) Yes partitions are created in Disk Utility
    2) Yes, you choose a volume Scheme (ie number of partitions) and size them by dragging the separator bar. Then select the planned boot partition and click Options..., then choose GPT. I think it is usually the default but check and make sure. Extended journaled is the usual format.
    3) You need to download Carbon Copy. It is a free tool that will copy the entire image of your current system partition to the new one and make it bootable. Consider making a donation as it is a very useful and frequently updated utility. It is fairly intuitive to use. You can also use the restore feature in Disk Utility but I have had more experience with Carbon Copy.
    4) Once the copy process is finished the new boot partition will show up under the startup disk selections (this tool is in System Preferences).
    *FROM 666Sheep:*
    If may i correct one thing: OP, don't choose GPT (GUID Partition Table). You got PPC Mac (G5), so valid partition type for you is Apple Partition Map (APM).
    GPT is for Intel Macs and you will not able to boot from this kind of partition.
    *FROM THE CUTTERMAN:*
    Thanks for the correction- my bad. No familiarity with non-Intel Macs.

    *Hi All,*
    *Since this process will come to a head on Tuesday/Wednesday, and I hope to be successful in transferring Old HD data to new HD/s.*
    *A: I'm still a little foggy here, as I thought I'd set up the 2 new T-gig HDs so that if one of them failed, I'd still have the data backed up on the other HD; more ideas concerning this would be reassuring:*
    *WHAT DOES "IMO" mean?*
    *(IMO for your purposes it is too much hassle and a waste of HD space.)*
    *As I understand the points made: After I partition the first new HD, and Carbon Copy data from old HD, I then install second new HD, and this will just act as an overflow from the first partitioned HD, correct? Because, if set up a Raid1/Mirror, the OSX partitioned portion of the first new HD will not copy to the second new HD, and that space on the second new HD will be wasted, correct?*
    *Also: I have to set up RAID1 (if I do not set up RAID0), correct?*
    *RAID 1*
    *From WIKI: RAID 1 mirrors the contents of the disks, making a form of 1:1 ratio real time mirroring. The contents of each disk in the array are identical to that of every other disk in the array. A RAID 1 array requires a minimum of two drives.*
    *Carbon Copy is a free tool that will copy the entire image of your current system partition to the new one and make it bootable.*
    *1. Is my old HD partitioned? Is that done automatically by MAC prior to PC purchase?*
    *2. Do I Carbon Copy the whole old HD or just parts? (eg. OSX, Photo Shop, After Effects, Various Files)*
    *3. I read that it is necessary to DEACTIVATE Photo Shop (I have CS3) prior to doing Carbon Copy. Is that correct? If so, does this also apply to other Adobe applications? Such as After Affects, Illustrator??*
    *Thanks to all for the help!!*

    Confusing Information:
    A1: You also want to make sure the drive you are backing up to is formatted Mac HFS Extended (HFS+) if using Mac OS 8.1 or above.
    A2: On PowerPC Macs, your clone should be partitioned as Apple Partition Map.
    *Q? I thought the new HD (1T) should be formatted in Extended Journaled?*
    B: Also disable Spotlight (in 10.4 only) on your destination drive using Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Spotlight -> Privacy to add the destination drive to the pane.
    *Q? I'm using 10.4.11, so, I should follow these instructions?*
    C: If possible, boot into safe mode to perform the backup (holding the SHIFT key at startup). In addition, you can clone while logged into another administrative user that you don't use at all to avoid further complications of changes which may be happening to your regular user (though don't use Fast User Switching to get into that other user, since that other user is still active when fast user switching is used). Otherwise you are going to be running a backup on a live system which could have changes happening while you are attempting to backup. These may yield an imperfect clone, with uncertain success at recovery. It may be possible that your clone will have its own hardware issues, so make at least two copies.

  • Pavilion dv6-3130tx Blue Screen (BSOD) on adding RAM to second slot

    Hi there,
    I own a HP Pavilion dv6-3130tx with total of 3gb of RAM, one 1GB chip and one 2 GB chip. Recently I have been getting a lot of system crashes/freezes and occasional Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) with a variety of error messages. On contacting HP care in India they said to check the RAM chips and the slot for any problem. I have identified that the second slot is one creating the problem as the system crashes if use any one of the chips on that slot while both the RAMs work fine on the other slot.
    Additionaly the RAM port/slot cannot be replaced as such, and since it is out of warranty getting the motherboard replaced isn't an alternative either. 
    So does anyone have any idea what might be the best way out of this problem?

    Did the 3GB of RAM come with the computer or did you upgrade it at some point? 
    What version of Windows are you using?

  • CI Slot and CAM

    Hi all,
    I purchased a CAM back in November, and was able to put my bt viewing card in this ( and this into the CI slot ) to watch Sky Sports or ESPN on another tv as Mrs GG's not the biggest football fan in the world. This worked in December ( the last game I watched using this was Barcelona v Real Madrid ) . I always replaced the card back in BT Vision box after each viewing in order to keep it active: I tried to this a couple of days ago and I can longer get Sky Sports 1 or 2 ( message on screen: you are not permitted to view this channel or some such ) ; I can, however watch ESPN. All three channels are fine through the Vision box.
    Any ideas?

    Jammed CD drive on iMac

    Good idea about looking on YouTube for information on how to assault the internals of an iMac.
    Fortunately, I won't need to do so. Got the disk out using a kludge. I turned off the machine, inserted a slender metal ruler into the disk slot and powered up. As hoped, the ruler triggered the regurgitate-the-disk function of the drive and the (full size) disk slid out.
    Why take such a chance? Because the drive was useless with a jammed disk in it, and I figured there was a reasonable chance that my kludge would work. Probable worse case was that it would not and I'd be no worse off. There was the possibility I'd ruin the drive, but that did not seem probable, and it did not happen. I'm using it right now for a program installation.
    If I did ruin the drive, I'd just continue using my $39 USB plug-in drive, as I had been doing while trying to figure out how to solve the problem. If I ever upgrade to a new iMac, I will have to use this or similar drive in any case, since the new iMac's come sans an internal superdrive. (I dislike that Apple decided to do away with the drive, but they didn't ask me.)
    Anyhow, thanks for the response, and happy computing.
