PC wont boot at all with X-fi and 8800 GTX c

My A8N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard and my BFG 8800 GTX video card seem to not like the X-Fi... It wont boot at all.... If I remove the X-fi, it boots fine. I have tried the X-fi in all available slots, and moved the 8800 to both slots, but nadda..Once, it booted, but the X-fi wasnt 'seen' by the MB at all... I can run onboard sound, but it isn't as nice, and I dont get to use the EAX...

Cat, what processor/memory are you running on the mobo along with the x-fi and the 8800 gtx? What drivers do you use for the 8800 gtx? Latest?Can you run the Battlefield 242 demo with the X-Fi and Ultra/Eax Audio settings on (all audio settings at max) without problems for at least an hour with no stutter/crashes in h20x2k.sys or whatever?I don't know if you can be bothered, but it would be amazing if you tried it and reported that it works fine, if it does. I'm getting HEAVY stutter with a DFI Lanparty SLI-DR Expert (Nforce 4). It starts out fine, but gets worse and worse as time goes. By about 5 minutes to half an hour it's pretty much unbearable and/or crashes with a bluescreen. Please see my other post for this (look for bf 242 audio channels). Setting the sound to "hardware" seems to be a temporary fix, but I'm definitely not satisfied. I have no problems running general windows/2d audio otherwise... silky smooth. I'm actually considering replacing my motherboard in the near future and I'm gathering options on "X-Fi-Friendly" motherboards. I'd like to hear my Battlefield 242 audio with all its 28 channels in EAX 5 someday... Perhaps Creative should consider putting stickers or logos on motherboards to ensure they play nice together lol :-D?ThanksMessage Edited by HeatSurge on 06-07-2007:26 AM

K9N Neo V3 wont boot at all and has constant green light

Hi guys, as you can see I'm new to the forum and new to PC building this is my second rig and not my favorite for some reason this motherboard just wont boot. when i push the start button the heatsink fan spins and the power led stays green but other than that there's no other activity
heres my specs
MSI K9N Neo V3
AMD Semphron 3000 am2
512mb NANYA PC2-4200
Tested with 250w and 300w psus
Ati radion graphics card Pci-e
200gb hd
note these parts are mostly testing items to test the board before i buy more expensive parts any help would be great

Quote from: Fredrik on 24-October-08, 05:20:56
You will barely, barely get by with a very good 300W PSU, but that needs to be very good. Any hardware changes or addings will render your system unusable. I would recommend you a Zalman unit of about 400 - 500 watts. ~80 - 100 $. So you can "develop" the system.
But your system seems to pass POST. Can you disconnect the hard disk, possible opticals (CD/DVD) and if you have any USB things, and try again, please. Make sure you got the required power cables connected!
Nanya memory is new to me. It wouldn't be a Dell special (memory)?
thanks for the reply im currently using a dell system but my new builds motherboard just wont boot at all thats the main problem the psus seem to boot other systems so im unsure to whether the board is healthy or not since i cant connect the cases original audio plug to this mobo :( its unable to give me beep commands and the green light as ive read else where often means something bad but the condition dosent seem to change even when i change out parts
and the psu is a 12v

N97 White Screen .. Phone wont boot at all ... Stu...

Hello all,
So I have finally stumbled upon the White Screen of Death ... Really sad that it happened but I still have hope that it may work. THe phone does not boot up and its stuck on the Nokia logo
[Long read]
It happened one before a day and I managed to find a helpful topic
/discussions/board/message?board.id=smartphones&thread.id=141381
It had everything regarding reset codes and whatnot, but the really helpful message was from grschinon .. ( he seems to know what hes doing ) .. for he shared an amazing technique of holding the green and red buttons while booting up the phone, and it worked !!
But yesterday, it happened again .. The screen wont light up and the keylock was stuck, so I just removed the battery ... I turned it on while assuming that the red/green button technique will work, but it didnt
I tried it over and over again ( been trying for half a day actually ) .. but with no avail, it didnt work ..
I tried connecting it through usb, with the wall charger, different combinations of buttons ... meh none worked
Its really annoying that half of my friends keep saying, THIS is why you get a blackberry .. and similar stuff .. My previous phones are all Nokia and this is just a huge dissapointment .. the N95 is 500000 times better than the N97 in stability and etc ... I was anxiously waiting for v2.0 ... now my n97 is dead
[/Long read]
I understand that there is a solution that will FORMAT the whole phone, but I dont want that, there are lots of pictures on my internal memorycard (32gb one) and 30+ applications (if not more) .. I seriously dont want to lose all of those ..
So do you know any other way that I can fix the problem ?? Is there a soft reset combination that i can use rather than the hard reset one??
Please advise, your comments are really appreciated,
Kind Regards,
Z

N97 White Screen .. Phone wont boot at all ... Stuck at Nokia logo
They instructed me to turn on the phone pressing the green, red and camera button at the same time as I pressed the power button.
It worked and the phone started.
I didn't need to format my phone.
Had the same problem with my White N97 (not that the colour probably makes a difference).
Was using the Facebook App on the main screen as a widget, tried to start it up by touching it - it seemed to not start even after waiting or trying multiple times.
So i thought to myself, "I'll just reboot my phone, that should fix it."
BAD IDEA.
Got stuck on the White Screen with the Blue "NOKIA" on it, so i thought...i'll wait and see what happens.
Nothing...for hours.
So i pulled the battery and put it back in again....powered on....same thing..."NOKIA"...and nothing else.
Repeated this about....10 times, getting more and more nervous that i had turned my $950AU phone that i had boasted to my friends that is better than their iphones....into a useless brick.
So, i turned to Google looking for answers...
Someone said they left the battery out of the phone until it went flat and had some success.
I found something about other users having a similar issue with other software (Garmin GPS software), and also the "Mail for Exchange" application.
They mentioned something about the only way to get it working again was to hard reset the phone to stop the apps from going online...
I REALLY didnt want to do a hard reset, as i had a bunch of apps and data that i DID NOT want to lose or spend like 3-4hours re-installing.
SO...I got thinking...how can i stop my apps from trying to go online without a hard reset.
So this is what i tried - and it worked!
1- Power off phone (if power button responds)
2- Pull out battery.
3- Remove memory card (if you have one)
4- Remove SIM card.
5- To make sure phone has no residule power hold down power button without any of the above inserted.
6- Re-insert battery only (without SIM card or Memory Card)
7- Cross your fingers and toes. (optional...but if it helps what the hell.)
8- Power on phone.
9- IF the phone prompts you to go online in any way Select NO. (or if it says do you want to activate Offline mode say YES)
10- Press Options key when you get to the home screen and select "Content to offline mode"
11- Make sure "Offline" is displayed in top left corner near where the signal bar usually is. ( if it doesnt say "Offline" press the power button briefly, and select "Offline" (should be underneath the "Pager" profile)
12- Once you have made sure your phone and applications are in offline mode - Power off phone using Power button.
13- Remove battery
14- Again to make sure phone has no residule power hold down power button without any battery or cards inserted.
15- Re-Insert SIM card, Memory card and Battery.
16- Power on Phone.
At this point the phone should start up as per normal, I knew it was working straight away for me because my SIM card prompted me for a pin number. (which happens normally for me when I turn on my phone)
After the phone is ready, i just put my phone back into online mode by selecting my "general" profile, and put my content back online.
Please note: This is what worked for me. Results and Mileage may vary.
It seems the issue is that the phone startup is being held up or stopped due to Programs or Applications tring to go online.
For me I suspect it could have been the Facebook App due to the problems i had before powering off my phone the first time.
I am going to put my Content to offline mode if I need to reboot my phone again, at least until nokia pull up their socks and release a fix for this.
Side note: my N97 is also running Version 11 Firmware. ( not that it may make a difference)
Good luck to all with same problem, hope this works for you too.
Had the same problem but I just removed the extra memorycard and formatted it on my computer before I put it back...
after a few days trying without micro sd inserted
the result is, n97 still stuck in white screen nokia logo
it happend always if i turn off my phone without sign off the facebook app widggetz..
here is how to crash your phone
put facebook widgetz on nokia standby screeen
and then put it online mode
klik the facebook app
just do anything in your facebook for check it already connected
klik end key
now turn off your phone without sign out the Facebook
turn on again
and boom your phone will stuck on nokia white screen logo
and it will never boot forever..
sometime when you take off the batery and reinserted again it can boot normaly but the percentage is 20% only..
soo if your n97 can boot normaly after FB "accident" that mean you lucky and i sugest you unistall your FB ASAP before n97 stuck again on white screen nokia logo..
is anyone have problem like mee??
i like to hear another opinion...
i think nokia already knew this problem, that way when you check ovi and your phone set to nokia n97 the facebook app is missing...
my firmware is v11 already

It sounds like the LifeProof case may have leaked. Did you pay for the Waterproof protection? If so, you can file a claim with lifeproof, pay the deductable, and get a replacement.
If you didn't purchase the Waterproof guarantee, if you have Applecare Plus, $79.00 will get you a replacement. If you don't have AppleCare Plus, then this is a $269.00 replacement lesson.

Macbook wont boot (folder icon with question mark)

Dear all,
I have macbook 13.3 (black one) for a year. This morning it just didn't boot and I got the question mark sign. I googled and discovered that it is probably a HD problem and the solution is: boot macbook from DVD install disk and try to repair.
My problem is, that I cant do even that. I put the original DVD in, after boot I pressed hold option. Then I got only mouse cursor but no icons (like the DVD is not inserted). I tried with C also, but nothing. It just wont boot from DVD.
Does anyone has a solution, how can I force macbook to boot from DVD?
Message was edited by: tdarko

Make sure the disc is clean with no scratches in it. Also, you can try running fsck to check the disk.
1. Reboot/Startup holding your Command-S key down.
2. At the command line type the following and hit 'Return.'
/sbin/fsck -fy
3. If it finds a problem and repairs it, immediately run fsck again until the drive checks OK.
4. After it has check/repaired your disk, type 'reboot' and hit 'Return' again. Unit should bootup normally.

MacBook wont boot up all the way!!

I recently updated my computer with Quiktime and itunes applications and it asked me to restart after updates were complete. It restarted but it gets stuck on the gray screen with the apple and the turning wheel and wont go any further. I read similar posts but the problem is i do not have any of my original software with me because i am living in Europe right now. I tried the shift and power and also the command and ctrl and power and nothing has worked. is there any way i can fix this without having to reinstall?

I don't have an answer since you don't have the install DVDs or apparently even a backup drive with you, but this is a good place to point out the need for preventative maintenance to anyone who is interested.
It is always somewhat risky to install new software. It is like surgery; it is usually safe but there can be complications caused by the fact that everyone's computer is setup differently and many people have corrupted files already on their computers that they are not even aware of. Then when the new installed update comes across something that is corrupted, bad things can happen.
I think many people don't use an external hard drive as a backup because they don't want to spend the money. In this case, do what I do, as a redundancy to an ext. backup drive, partition your computer's drive such that you can install a copy of OS X on each partition. Then you will always have a functional OS in case you get caught without your install DVDs or any other method of getting back on track.
The second OS (on a partition) is also great for trouble shooting all manner of issues that might come up from time to time. The only downside is that it will consume some space on your hard drive but then you should not be living so close to the edge anyway if you absolutely need that few extra GB of disk space.
Business and industry could not possibly survive if they did not use redundancies and fail-safes to cover the unexpected. Individuals should not think that they somehow can.

648 max, wont boot to cd with locked HDD connected

hi i hope you can help me, i bought my son a cheap second hand PC from a car boot sale, inside which is an MSI 648 max motherboard,
the problem i have is i am trying to attach a larger hard drive which is locked, usually to unlock the HDD i run a bootable cd-rom which is fine however when i try to boot the computer i get a message stating the hard drive is locked and i have 5 attempts to enter the password.
unfortunately i do not know the password as it is encrypted on the cd-rom, if only i could boot to cd-rom this wouldn't be a problem however i can not boot to cd-rom with the locked hard drive connected and obviously i cannot connect the hard drive after its booted to cd as it will not be detected,
when i try to access the boot menu i hit F11 as stated but all i get on the POST screen is "GO-->boot menu and then it hangs on the POST screen, what does this mean?
so my question is, is it possible to boot to CD with the locked HDD connected as im getting quite frustrated,
i hope i have given enough information but if you need anymore i shall happily provide
many thanks
Glenn

If the hard drive is still servicable you can use a bootable cd or floppy to erase the contents of the hard drive.
The ultimate boot cd has numerous apps to erase hdds. http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/
Or just get another hard drive.
Could be something else wrong of course. At least the UBCD is free.

Macbook Pro won't boot AT ALL with USB HD plugged in

This is a recent problem and I don't know if it's an issue with my external HD or the macbook. I have a Western Digital 500GB MyBook HD that I use for Time Machine. When I reboot my computer with the hard drive plugged in, it hangs endlessly when booting up before the apple even appears. The startup chime comes on, and the screen turns color, but it does not get farther than that with the hard drive plugged in.
Additionally, if I unplug the HD, let the computer boot, and plug it back in when it's booted, the HD won't mount and I get the error in the console that a USB device has not responded for 5 seconds and is timing out. This repeats over and over again. To get the drive to mount again, I have to unplug the USB, unplug the power to the drive, and then plug the power back in, and then plug the USB back in.
Doing this, the drive will work normally again until my next reboot. I have tried Disk Utility's verify disk and it has found no problems.
Any suggestions?

I've recently been having the same problems, maybe within the last week or so... My Macbook pro will chime, get to the blue screen and sit there... until I either unplug or plug in a usb cable. My external drive is a Hitachi Deskstar 500GB. I've repaired permissions and such... I have noticed that I can boot into Safe Mode with ease.. so, there is something happening here, I just don't know what.
Any ideas would be wonderful, thanks in advance.
update
Also, question for Mikooster... did your problem start after installing Office 2008 ? I'm curious, that's the only recent thing I've installed that I can remember.

Boot Camp problems with Windows 7, and a new Macbook Pro

When I try to install Windows 7, when the process is almost complete and Windows is finalizing all settings, the system reboots then gets stuck at the white/gray bootscreen, and then tries to boot from disk, only to repeat the bootscreen cycle indefinitely. How do I fix this? Thank you very much.

My MAC BOOK is 13 inch, first generation of unibody that I bought when it first came out last November, 2009. It seems that the latest boot camp 3.1 does not support windows7 64 bits on my mac book model. I followed Apple instruction to upgrade boot camp 3.0 when running XP 32 bits. And I then upgrade my XP 32 bits to 64 bit Windows 7. The upgrade/installation was successful but I encountered a lot of problems with the mouse and sound.
1. No sound with my new Windows 7 64 bits.
2. I managed to make Windows 7 64 bit recognize my apple mighty mouse. But the mouse does not funtion normal as expected. It does not work with swiping and scrolling.
3. I could not re-install boot camp 3.0 from windows.old nor from the Mac OS X installation disk. When I tried to run setup.exe from the MAC OS X snow leopard, I got the error "Boot camp x64 is unsupported for this model"
I am really disappointed that boot camp 3.1 is not universally supported for all mac book or mac book pro.
I need help to re-install boot camp for my Windows 7? I bought the upgrade through education upgrade program and I selected to get 64 bit version so I do not want to rollback the installation to 32 bit.
Please help.

Green boot-up screen with Geforce4 4400 and K7N420

My Specs:
K7N420 mobo
AMD Athlon XP 1600+
512 of DDR
Windows XP home edition
Onboard Sound
latest bios
I just purchased PNY's Geforce4 4400 Ti, a big update from my last Geforce2 Ti. As soon as I turn on my PC with the new card inside a bright green screen comes up and doesn't go away. On my LED's its: (1)red (2)green
(3)green (4)green
and My PC only beeps once. There's nothing wrong with the card itself, it worked on my other older system. And its not my current monitor because I tested a newer monitor with my system and the same damn green screen came up!. Heat shouldn't be a problem because of my three fans (intake, out-take, and powers supply fan). Maybe its something with my Bios settings? But I don't know what to change in Bios, I have only tried switching between default settings and high performance settings, with no luck.
I hope someone can help, I've used these forums before and recieved great help, I hope you guys might know whats wrong.
Thanks
Rick

Some Geforce4 MX cards seem to not work properly on some motherboards. At least that's the word, you might want to switch the video card over to a different brand if the store you bought it from lets you.
Same with the original posters Ti 4400, tho i'm not sure whats going on with that once since it's an Nvidia chipset mobo you'd expect it to work with an Nvidia chipset video card. I'd suggest yeah trying a different brand if you can.
This might sound stupid (sorry in advance) but make sure it's fully pushed in and the back tab thingy (if the mobo has one) is fully clicked in.
Also this is a wild shot in the dark, but you could try to put in a different card temporaily and set the AGP to 2X or fiddle with other settings like arpeture or something, save it then put in the new card, see if it boots then.
It's a weird one.
