Not a problem but a report

Hi,
It’s me again (the one 3 months ago with the board that didn’t return from standby)
I have since solved the problem by RMA’ing the board, and I have sailed through another problem too..
and I’m here to report. 
I had another problem which was that suddenly my PC froze after booting with a short while...
and after resetting (and upon further resetting and further bootup) the HDD LED would go on and off at a fixed rate and so would the CD-RW drive (as if the board was going into an infinite loop initialising IDE controller)...
Btw, at this stage the D-LED was looping (and seems to be flashing all colours at the same time..!    )
Here’s the steps I took:
1. Disconnect everything including IDE drives. —> Same thing (just no more flashing IDE)
2. Remove and reset graphic card. —> Same thing (even without graphics card same problem)
3. Remove and reset RAM —> Seemed to do it once, but froze again...
4. Reset BIOS, removed 20-pin ATX and press power button (it actually started to turn for 1/100 a second without power !!!),
then reset the RAM again...
and it WORKED !!!!      –MemTest86’d PC for 4 hours straight–no errors...
—> My Setup:
+12V 18A PSU (I know it’s bad but it cuts it for my basic PC)
MSI 865PE Neo2 LSR
Intel P4 2.6GHz Northwood (not overclocked)
2x256MB PC3200 DDR SDRAM
MSI GeForce FX5200 128MB (never gave me a problem)
1 x LiteOn CD-RW SOHC-5238s
1 x WD 80GB 7200 RPM IDE hard drive
1 x FDD
1 x Fax Modem (Conexant 56K)
—- And here I rest my post (    ) ...
—- I posted here for the sake of reporting.
- I hope it helps anyone.
- Any feedback appreciated...

I'm glad that you are sharing troubleshooting expriences.

  • How do you have Google searches appear in new tab? This was previously not a problem, but it changed and I cannot return the setting. Any ideas?

    I recently purchased a second hand new macbook air, although it was second hand to me the previous owner had never actually turned it on.
    Something doesn't make sense here, though I'm not saying the previous owner is lying....
    Time to send your serial # to iTS and let them see what's happening here.

  • Not a "problem", but Express n doesn't seem to go "n" in Airport Utility?

    Sorry if this has been asked many times before, but I have a MBP, MB, iMac all showing up in in Airport Utility as connecting as "b/g/n" to the Airport Extreme (10/100 n version), but my Express n only shows up as connecting as "b/g".
    As I said in the subject line, it's not causing me any problem, in that I only use the AX to stream iTunes to the bedroom, which it'll do just fine from either macbook or the iMac...just wondering if anyone had any ideas why the AX doesn't also show up as "b/g/n" as well? (The Express is also closest to the AE)
    The only other thing in the house that shows up as "b/g" is my touch...
    Inquiring minds and all that....thanks in advance, Shel

    In order to stream iTunes to your AX, the computer must communicate with the base station which in turn communicates with the AX. This "back and forth" probably involves a lot more distance than if the computer were only communicating directly to the main router.
    A b/g/n compatible signal will drop down to g after some distance and this may explain what you are seeing, especially if there are several walls to penetrate with the signal.
    If you want to pursue this theory, temporarily move your AX close the main router and plug in a pair of headphones to simulate stereo speakers. Move your laptop close to the main router as well. Then check again to see what reading you get on the AX. Then move the laptop and AX further away and test again.
    Please post back on your findings.

  • Icon for i cloud suddenly disappeared from mail ?  Not a problem but just concerned that the icon should disappear from the listing for the iCloud e mail account

    I had previosly set up a number of IMAP e mail account in addiiton under my .mac and .me account which is my personal account.
    On the mail home page it had the inbox listing thee accounts and further down the page its used to list the on line accounts set up under I cloud using the same name as the .mac or .me accounts, but also included the i cloud icon as does my ipad.  Logged onto day and the i cloud icon had dissappeared?  not sure why it is still functioning and I still have all my icloud accounts set up but the icon is no longer present.
    Maybe just a bit anal but it bugs me to know why this icon has suddenly dissappeared?

    Hello,
    Do you use these settings in Mail for your Gmail account (especially for the SMTP) ?
    If you use IMAP and all your emails are still stored on the server you can delete your account in Mail and recreate it with the settings mentionned above.
    Hope this will help.

  • Not a problem, but...

    I was just wondering if any of you who visit this forum plan on modding your older PPC Macmini instead of selling it (for those of you who have bought the new intel version) or if any of you have already modified your mini. I have only stumbled across a couple of neat mods but I am interested in any links you might have or plans you have to mod yours.

    The mini decals are the only mod I am going to do until my warranty expires.

    Not many people modding minis, I guess the Mac mini is not old enough so people realize they can make some money back by selling them to fund their Mac Intel purchases. I hope the next few years will give birth to some kickass mods.

  • Batteries (not a problem but help info)

    Hey, I was jus surfin around the discussions when i noticed a lot of "battery problem" topics....
    here are my thoughts, i use to have this problem where the ipod would turn off for no reason, then i read some where that if the battery gets cold it won't work properly... all i did was keep it warm by any means possible, cuz it use to be full then die when i used it. Now that i have kept it warm (don't jus leave plugged into comp, wall charger may work, but i duno i don't have one yet...) it hasn't really died, the only time has been when it has gotten cold, then i warm it back up and it looks fine~~

  • Not a problem but a query. Firefox has just updated and is showing euballot-1.1 but no mention of GB. what is euballot? why is it showing?

    This is a query.
    Firefox automatically updated.
    When I look under update history it shows no update.
    Under Help clicked on about to see what version. Still showing 3.6.13 but no mention of en-GB. Instead has Mozilla Firefox EU euballot-1.1
    What is euballot?
    Why no en-GB?

    The update you got is the correct update, you will have the same version if you downloaded the full setup file.
    The EU ballot relates to an agreement that Microsoft reached with the European Union so that Microsoft would comply with EU anti-trust laws. Microsoft historically had a dominance in the browser market as Windows has IE pre-installed. The agreement led to Microsoft creating a a "browser ballot" system which would see its users presented with a page advertising other browsers.
    I believe Mozilla use the EU ballot downloads as a method of tracking how many additional installs occurred as a result of the agreement.

  • I can not print a PDF from a HP Photosmart Plus B210A.  HP says its is a Adobe problem and Adoble says it is not there problem

    I am unable to print a PDF file from a HP Photosmart Plus B210a.  I contacted HP and they say because the printer does print word docs etc. the printer cannot be the cause of the problem.  This is from the Top Level Support team.  When contacting Adobe, they say that not being able to print their PDF files is not there problem but HP's.
    Another call to HP and they now say it is Apple's problem.
    I am in the middle and still can't print a PDF file.  When trying to do so, it doesn't print and I receive no error messages.  Just nothing.  My serial number is
    W88110PFZE3 and my operating system is OSX 10.6.8.
    Does anyone have a suggestion, or do I just throw out HP?
    Thanks, Bob L.

    Try opening the PDF in Preview and see if it will print out of it.

  • I purchased an in-app component but it has not downloaded and I cannot seem to contact the seller. I've tried to report a problem but no window opens in which to report the problem. Any ideas?

    I purchased in in-app component for an email program but it has not shown up in the app on my ipad. I tried to report a problem, but no window opens in which to explain my situation. How do I get a message to the seller or to itunes? I am reluctant to re-purchase the component.

    Can you download large files from other places apart from the App store, wondering if it is the App store or your internet connection.
    If it just the app store check this url http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/

    I could not find an option to "report a problem".
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

  • Im having a problem with Firefox opening web pages that i have set as my home page such as Google also will not open Yahoo but will open most bookmarked pages

    After starting Firefox the Firefox homepage comes up with the google search, but if i enter anything in the search bar, nothing happens it just says done. Also my homepage is Google, imported from Internet Explorer, but doesn't come up when i start Firefox, And Also at the top on the tab it just says untitled. Now with that being said if i enter in yahoo or yahoo.com in the search tab or even enter in the actual web address, it still doesn't open it just says done at the bottom of the page and nothing happens, But if i go to the Bookmarks also imported from Internet Explorer it will open or display most all of the web pages it just seems to be having problems with search engines such as Google, and Yahoo. Now if i enter Ask.com in the web address search tab it will open that page but if i enter Google.com or Yahoo.com nothing. Also like i said most all bookmarks will open but yahoo or my yahoo that is saved in Bookmarks will not. and nothing happens with any entry made into the Google search displayed on the the Firefox Start Page.

    Hi,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
