PCI MXI-4, Host computer won't boot when pci/mxi-4 cable is connected.

This is a new installation of a PXI-MXI-4 (8331 controller) chassis (1031) and MXI-PCI card.  The controller is in PXI slot 1, the other 3 slots have Mux & Digitizers installed. The drivers are installed (NI-PXI, DAQ 7.4), the Winows XP device manager shows the MXI connection monitor & the PCI-PCI bridge working properly.
Problem: The host pc to pxi cable must be disconnected so the computer will boot up, then reconnected. In MAX the MXI-PXI controller type is configured as 'External PC'. MAX displays the slot 1 controller & a 'connection timed out' message. The other 3 slots are greyed out and displayed as unknown.
I have tried removing & reinstalling the drivers & moving the PCI card to a different slot.
Any suggestions? Thank you -WR

Hi,
  You can find a troubleshooting guide at
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/484F81E​6570AD803862569ED007AAA41?OpenDocument
  You might also need to update your computer's BIOS.
  Have you tried the PCI card and chassis with another computer?
Do you have another MXI kit available for you to test with your
computer and chassis? Trying these can help narrow down the source of
the problem.

  • Dc 5750 computer won't boot when restarting

    I have a DC 5750 HP Desktop and I can't get it to boot up to logon screen when selecting restart, it will power down and attemp to reboot but after reading memory I just displays a blank or black screen with no writing or mouse pointer at all.  This only happen when restarting on it's own or, after installing updates or software.  It will only boot to the desk top upon pressing the power button. 
    Please help.

    Hi
    I am having this exact same problem. The system runs fine and every time you turn it on it boots up first time, however if you are already logged on and for any reason you need to restart it shuts down,comes up with the first screen and then goes blank.
    I have already updated the bios to the latest version but no luck. Any help would be much appreciated.

  • Computer won't boot if the GTX 970 is plugged in

    Hello everyone,
    I just recently bought and assembled a new computer, however, the computer won't boot when the gpu is plugged in.
    The motherboard I got is a MSI Z97I Gaming AC and the GPU is a MSI GeForce GTX 970.
    When the GPU isn't plugged in the mobo, everything boots up fine and I was able to check with the bios that every other elements of the computer where recognized fine. When I plug in the GPU however, the system won't boot. The fans of the case, the mobo AND the GPU's are working and the GPU's leds also on, so it shouldn't be a PSU issue (I use a 750W PSU so that should cover it). However, no boot at all.
    I don't really feel like trying to plug the GPU in another computer if it's just some compatibility issue or whatnot that you may be aware of. Maybe the bios doesn't recognise it ? The version is e7920IMS V1.0, I wasn't really able to find any kind of information regarding the latest versions online.
    Thank you,
    Yann

  • Computer won't boot up after installing SIIG card

    Hey Everyone,
    I having problems with my SIIG FireWire 2-Port PCIe DV card that I've installed into my PowerMac G5 Quad. With the card installed the computer will not boot up, which is the same thing that happened with my previous two models of the card. I installed a new card yesterday and it worked fine all day, but after shutting the computer down for the night and then restarting it in the morning I am experiencing the same problems. The light on the front of the computer turns on, but the screen does not, and after about a minute a loud fan noise comes one. I have the card installed in Slot 2. In Slot 1 I have a ProTools HD card and in Slot 3 I have an AJA Kona LHE card. Even with all of the cards removed the computer still does not boot up. Anyone seen this problem before? Any help or information anybody can offer would be greatly appreciated.
    PowerMac G5 Quad   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Hi, I had the same problem with my dual core G5.
    I installed the card and my computer won't boot up. The screen stays gray and the fan keeps spinning.
    I contacted SIIG and they said the card is defective, which, I doubt it is.
    I then returned it for a refund.

  • Computer won't boot after installing MFP M127FW

    My computer won't boot to my hard drive after installing my new MFP M127FW printer unless I first unplug the USB cable from the printer and then turn on the computer.  My BIOS is set to boot from my hard drive, not from a USB drive, so what did the installation of the MFP M127FW drivers and software do to my computer?  I assume this has something to do with the Smart Install feature.  
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi @frcraig ,
    I see that you are experiencing issues with the computer booting up when the printer is connected by the USB cable.
    I would like to help you out with this issue today.
    Most likely it is the Smart Install on the printer causing this. The printer looks like a disk drive.
    On the printer, touch Setup, Service, Smart Install and turn it off.
    If you are still having issues, in the system BIOS, disable the Boot from USB device option and the USB Legacy Support option. Doing this will allow the PC to complete the boot process to the internal hard drive and allow you to enter Windows. If this does not work for any reason, you should boot your PC before connecting the USB drive. Once the computer is fully booted into Windows, connect the USB drive and wait for the operating system to detect the drive.
    Important: Do not disable the USB Legacy Support if you are using a USB Keyboard. Doing so will prevent you from being able to use the keyboard during the booting sequence.
    What kind of computer do you have?
    If you need further assistance, just let me know.
    Have a great day!
    Thank You.

  • If usb is plugged the computer won't boot

    Hi there. I have recently started to experience a new type of problem. I have two usb hdds connected to a usb hub. I've never had any problems with it(the hub). After I installed the last update 10.7.3 everytime I restart my computer if I have the hub (with all my hdds and other devices) connected to my computer, the computer won't boot. It get up to the white screen (before the loading wheel). If I unplug the usb cable it starts booting inmediately.
    The funny thing is I didn't change anything lately. It started to do this yesterday.
    Thanks

    Is the hub powered? If not that is probably your problem. The hd's are sucking power but can't get enough to power up and that is probably stopping the MBP from booting.

  • Computer will not boot when I install my Sound Blaster Live Ca

    My computer wiil not boot when I put my sound blaster li've card in. Any body have any ideas that I could try?
    Thanks

    Turn off your pc, remove the jumper near the battary for 5 seconds, then put the jumper back.
    If it works go to BIOS and switch off (disable) Audio on Board or Sound on Board , (if you have it), then start your pc. Should work !!!
    I hope it helps!!!

  • Computer won't boot with PCI-GPIB card installed

    I'm running a windows XP system with Labview 7.1 installed. I have installed the GPIB drivers, but when I insert my PCI-GPIB card, the computer will not boot(it freezes before the POST). I'm running a Shuttle "MK40VN" KM400 Chipset Motherboard.

    Well, nevermind, I just verified that the card is in fact fried.

  • Host computer won't recognize the target computer.......

    So here is a rundown of what happened....
    I just bought Leopard and tried to install it on my computer. It said I did not have enough free space ( I need 11 GB, I have 1.4 available) and that it would have to delete everything on my computer to get it to install. Well, I didn't want that since not everything was backed up. Now, when I start up my computer the apple logo comes up with the spinning "sunshine rays" and then just shuts off. There is no way to get my computer to restart. I have tried using the "restart from" and selecting my hard drive and then the computer restarts, sunshine thingy spins, and then my computer turns off.
    I have tried to run the disk repair only to have an error message come up half way through saying "the underlying task reported failure on exit". No idea what this means. There has to be some way for me start my computer back up or save all my files. I have bought the 1TB time capsule so that should fee up enough room for Leopard to run smoothly once I get it installed
    I tried repairing it and I got the same message as I did trying to verify it. So here is another weird little tid-bit. When I try to re-install Tiger it doesn't locate my hard drive as an option to install it on. But when I use the install disk from Leopard it does locate and give me the option to install it on my hard drive. If I install Leopard and erase and format (journaled?) my hard drive in order to do so, will I be able to use any programs to recover my lost files?
    So now I am trying to use my iMac as a host computer and the G4 that won't start as the target computer. I have tried everything I can think of but the host computer will not recognize the target hard drive. Everything is hooked up correctly I think and the hard drive from my bad computer should be on the desktop of my iMac but it isn't. Any ideas????

    Hi-
    The error report "the underlying task reported failure on exit" is a hard drive error that Disk Utility couldn't repair. However, if the Disk Utility was from the Leopard install disc, then the version is wrong. If the error came from the Tiger disc, you may need DiskWarrior to correct the error.
    First, though, try repairing the hard drive with fsck.
    Boot to Single user mode by holding Command+S while booting. In the resulting screen, at the command line, type /sbin/fsck -fy and press Return.
    fsck will go through five "phases" and then return information about your disk's use and fragmentation. Once it finishes, it'll display this message if no issue is found:
    The volume (nameofvolume) appears to be OK
    If fsck found issues and has altered, repaired, or fixed anything, it will display this message:
    FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED
    Important: If this message appears, repeat the fsck command you typed until fsck tells you that your volume appears to be OK (first-pass repairs may uncover additional issues, so this is a normal thing to do). Two, three or four tries may be necessary.
    When fsck reports that your volume is OK, type reboot at the prompt and then press Return.
    Your computer should start up normally and allow you to log in.
    If the fsck returns that the drive is OK in the first pass, and typing "reboot" doesn't get a proper startup, try resetting the PRAM on the G4. Hold CommandOption+PR while booting, hold until the second startup chime, and release. The machine, hopefully will boot.
    Let us know how you fare with this.....

  • Video card fan dying, tried to replace card, computer won't boot

    This Pavillion came preinstalled with an nVidia GeForce GT 630 graphics card. The fan on this card is going bad - the card smells "burny" when I run it, the fan runs really loud and the computer is crashing while playing graphics-heavy games.
    I tried replacing it with a PNY Verto GeForce GT 730 2048 MB DDR3 card. But now, with the Verto installed, my Pavillion won't boot up, it just hangs on the HP splash screen. I cannot boot in Safe Mode nor can I access BIOS settings.
    The Verto's specs seemed like it would work in my Pavillion - PCIe 2.0, at least 300W PSU. I've been searching online for help but am unable to determine a fix for my problem. 
    Any tips?
    This question was solved.

    I checked the support page for my Pavlillion and I noticed an updated driver for my computer's BIOS. I got that installed and it seems to have fixed the problem.

  • Computer Won't Boot Up

    Here is my issue, my computer one day was working fine and the next it won't boot properly.
    System Specs: Satellite T235D-S1345RD (Laptop) - Windows 7 (64bit) - BIOS 1.7 - 4gb RAM -
    I have gotten the computer booted one time. I am unsure why it did that time but did not do it another time. 
    Since that one time I put the computer in hibernate and when I tried to bring it out it told me it failed when coming out of hibernate so it went to reboot and now won't boot.
    Here are the few steps I have done to try and get it working.  When it boots up it gives me an error message (says that power failed or for some reason it did not boot)
    I have ran "Repair Computer" and it does not do anything.  I try start windows normally and it goes no where.
    So I then tried F8 and got into the Advanced Boot Menu. First one I tried was Start Windows From Last Known Good Configuration. (or something like that I forget the exact wording)
    When it does that the computer will start to boot up go to the "Windows Loading" screen and then it flashes a blue screen (there are words there but it flashes so quickly I cannot read it) and it goes back to the boot screen and acts like it is restarting and continues in that loop.
    Next step - Enter F8 again tried "Repair Computer" and it loads to a black screen with a Cursor but nothing ever happens. I have given it over 30 min and nothing happens.
    So next step- I enter F8 again and try to boot up in safe mode and again when it loads it flashes a blue screen and then nothing.
    EDIT - I found how to show the blue screen. It says UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME. Not sure what else I should do after I get that error message. Message Reads:
    It reads UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME and says if it's the first time I've seen the error screen, to restart the computer. Then it tells me if it appears again, to check and make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed.
    "If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode."
    END EDIT
    Next Step: I come to you guys here on this forum. I am a bit perplexed and lost at what to do. I wonder if this is a virus but I cannot get the computer to respond to try to get  into it to check.
    Ideas? Advice? What should I try? I can get into the F8 menu but not sure what else I should try. I will try anything to get this computer up and running!
    Thanks for any and all help.

    Hi:
    The 24 character failure ID usually indicates HDD is failing/has failed. You need to replace it with a new one.
    Specs: http://support.hp.com/in-en/product/HP-Pavilion-dv6-Entertainment-Notebook-PC-series/5191856/model/5...
    Manual: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03099531
    Check warranty: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/weInput?cc=us&lc=en
    Order recovery USB: http://support.hp.com/in-en/product/HP-Pavilion-dv6-6c13cl-Entertainment-Notebook-PC/5191856/model/5...
    Contact HP: https://support.hp.com/in-en/contact-hp/product/HP-Pavilion-dv6-6c00-Entertainment-Notebook-PC-serie...
    If you're under warranty, HP would send you replacement HDD.
    If you're not, buy any branded 2.5" SATA 9.5mm thick internal laptop HDD and replace it yourself. But HDD of at least same capacity HDD as the one that came with your laptop (640gb) so that recovery media would work -
    Go through page 56-58 in the Manual for replacement procedure. It's quite simple DIY job.
    Something like this:
    http://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemnumber=N82E16822236561
    If you've not yet created the Recovery media to restore the factory settings after replacement, you have to order a set of Recovery USB from HP.
    For salvaging the data from old HDD, I suggest you take out the drive. Connect it to another PC using SATA to USB adapter - copy all the files you need.
